good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. more disruption for patients, asjunior doctors in england become the latest nhs staff to vote for strike action, in another row with the government over pay. president biden touches down about the threat posed by russia, after a surprise visit to ukraine. two new earthquakes hit turkey and syria leaving hundreds injured — rescue workers are once again searching for people trapped under rubble. increase in costs in april. i'll be looking at what that could mean for you.

what does the future hold for liverpool, with the club's owners insisting the club's not for sale on the eve of their crucial champions league tie with real madrid? it is mild again but there is something cooler on the way. your full forecast on breakfast. it's tuesday the 21st of february. junior doctors in england have become the latest health workers to vote for strike action in a dispute with the government over pay. members of the british medical association are expected to stage a 72—hour walk—out, possibly as early as mid—march. our health correspondent katharine da costa has this report. this winter's seen the biggest wave of industrial action in nhs history — affecting nurses, paramedics and physiotherapists. nowjunior doctors in england willjoin other health unions on the picket line in an increasingly bitter dispute over pay.

when 98% of us vote to strike, i think it says a lot. dr andrew meyerson moved from the us to london eight years ago to study medicine. now a junior doctor in a&e, he says too many of his colleagues feel burnt out, can't provide the patient care they'd like, and are looking for better—paid jobs overseas. we're not asking for a crazy amount of money here. we're really, really not. we're asking to be able to afford to live in this country, to afford to be able to pay our bills, and to afford to continue working in the jobs that we absolutely love. we don't want to see... i wish that we don't see another day of strike action in the nhs. junior doctors in england received a 2% rise in april as part of a four—year deal worth a total of 8%. the basic salary of a junior doctor in theirfirst year's just over £29,000, but average wages can exceed 40,000 once overtime and night payments are included. but the bma estimates their pay has fallen steeply over the last 15 years as a result of rising inflation. it's calling for an increase of 26%

to restore it to 2008 levels. not safe, not fair! junior doctors last went on strike in 2016 in a dispute over their contract. this time, bma members plan a three—day walk—out in march, and to withdraw both routine and emergency care. more than 140,000 appointments have been cancelled due to strikes so far this winter. nhs leaders say an escalation of action is deeply concerning. the junior doctors represent a crucial part of the nhs workforce, and obviously with them out for a continuous 72—hour period, that'll present serious challenges for nhs organisations. and we really do need to see a resolution to this spiralling industrial action — not least because of the huge disruption for patients. the health secretary steve barclay�*s described strike action as deeply disappointing, and wants to continue discussing what's fair

and affordable, as well as wider concerns around workload. elsewhere, discussions on pay ongoing in wales, while the bma's preparing to ballot junior doctors in scotland very soon. katharine da costa, bbc news. the family of nicola bulley described her as the centre of their world after police confirmed her body was found in a river in lancashire. the mother—of—two went missing more than three weeks ago while walking her dog in the village of st michael's on wyre. her body was recovered from the river wyre on sunday, around a mile from where she was last seen. president biden will hold talks with european leaders in poland today — hours after he left ukraine following a secretly planned visit. mr biden�*s meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky in kyiv came just days before the first anniversary of russia's invasion. vincent mcaviney reports.

american presidents normally arrive to military—band fanfare, but in kyiv yesterday, joe biden�*s historic visit was to the sound of an air—raid siren. after months of planning, biden travelled in secret via train for ten hours to an active war zone to mark the one—year anniversary of russia's illegal invasion on friday. with unprecedented security in the capital, the americans had warned the kremlin that joe biden was coming. a point was being made. ukraine was still under attack, but its most powerful ally was there to show its leader and people his support. the symbolism of the visit might be strong, but a few hundred miles away on ukraine's eastern front, it's more weaponry than matters. president zelensky has declared a coming year of victory, but to achieve that they will need more rockets and tanks, as well as the fighterjets currently being held back. for when this snow no longer hampers them,

both sides are planning to mount renewed spring offensives. and ukraine wants to win — notjust hold steady in a long war of attrition. nevertheless, no—one is in any doubt about the task facing this country. to hold our nerve. this isn't a short war. i wish it was, but it isn't. it means that we need to continue to support ukrainians while they make their progress, and expect that they can push back to the extent that negotiations in good faith can begin. before leaving for poland, president biden laid a wreath in their memory. his host later thanked him and his nightly address. translation: today i saw such| determination of president biden and the united states of america. and i want to thank mr president for this visit. we are working on the supply of long—range weapons and other types of weapons that were not previously included in support packages.

and i'm gratefulfor another package that will definitely strengthen our guys on the front line. president biden will spend the next three days in poland, meeting with fellow nato leaders. later today, president putin will respond with an address to his audacious visit to a capital he thought he'd long ago control. russia believes it can now win a war of endurance. ukraine doesn't want to find out. america knows time is running short. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. we arejoined now by our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse. he is in kyiv. that was a really significant visit yesterday by president biden. it significant visit yesterday by president biden.— significant visit yesterday by president biden. it really was. i mean, president biden. it really was. i mean. this _ president biden. it really was. i mean. this is — president biden. it really was. i mean, this is where _ president biden. it really was. i mean, this is where he - president biden. it really was. i mean, this is where he walked, president biden. it really was. i - mean, this is where he walked, just over there at saint michael's cathedral. just 12 months before, or just over 12 months before, it was a place where people were trying to get out of the city and quickly in the face of an upcoming russian

advance. people werejoining up the face of an upcoming russian advance. people were joining up to join the territorial defence, they were nervous, people were being issued with automatic rifles and this city felt very different. it just shows, especially when many thought kyiv would fall, especially when so many thought president zelensky would be quickly toppled, not least the russians, itjust shows how much has happened in the year since. shows how much has happened in the yearsince. president zelensky greeted the leader of the free world, the world's most powerful politician, and their biggest ally, in a show like no other in a city thatis in a show like no other in a city that is no stranger to official visits. there was substance to the meeting, as you have seen, where more sizeable military support has been provided. interestingly, president zelensky seems to shelve his requests for fighterjets, president zelensky seems to shelve his requests forfighterjets, but you can bet that came up possibly in their private meeting. but here we are, once more returning to the world stage, the geopolitics of it

all, when you have president biden meeting of nato members in poland. he will give a speech later. you have vladimir putin of russia addressing the parliament in moscow, where he is expected to lay out his plans for next year, and you can bet his invasion what he is still calling a special military operation, will be outlined, as well. all eyes here will be on that, you would imagine. and then of course you have beijing, china being accused of supporting russia, which it has denied. all of the global forces are at play once more as ukraine continues to defend itself. really intense time. thank you very much indeed. rescuers are once again searching for people trapped under rubble in turkey after two new earthquakes hit the country, killing at least three people. the earlier quakes on 6th february killed a4,000 people in turkey and syria with tens of thousands more left homeless. hatay is the latest place to be hit by the quakes. 0ur middle east correspondent

anna foster is over in turkey. good morning. we can see from where you are at the moment, you are obviously in some type of rescue centre. explain to us what impact this second earthquake has had. well, this is... this is a volleyball court and this place was nearly deserted yesterday but when we felt that second quake last night, and it is where saying they have been so many small aftershocks in the last two weeks or so, but what we felt yesterday evening at around 8pm was unmistakably an earthquake. it lasted for maybe 30 or 48 seconds, really strong shaking. what you saw in the people here was a renewed sense of panic and fear when you think about the images they have seen and what they have lived through in the last fortnight. that is why you see so many people here today. they all came out to this area last night. they think potentially there are maybe as many as 600 arrived here,

which they considered to be a place of safety because here in the city, so many people live in those high—rise apartment buildings that we have seen so many off, and when you start to feel them shake again, many people come outside and many people with children, someone has even brought their dog. they come here because they see it as a more secure building, a safer place to be. and then of course on your phone you start to get notifications from the turkish disaster management agency telling people to stay out of those high buildings. i think it really is, for people here, a fresh trauma. it is a fresh reliving of what happened last week and unfortunately many of the buildings that collapsed last night were already empty —— and fortunately many of the buildings were already empty. the drama continues for many here. ., ~ empty. the drama continues for many here. . ~ ,, empty. the drama continues for many here. ., ~' ,, , empty. the drama continues for many here. . ~ ,, , . from april, women in england who use hormone replacement therapy to ease menopause symptoms will be able

to access cheaper treatment. it's through a government scheme where one payment means you can access a yea r�*s worth of hrt prescriptions — potentially saving hundreds of pounds. one person has died and at least 13 more have been injured after an explosion at a factory in the us state of ohio. it is unclear what caused the incident, which saw debris and molten metal rain down on buildings and cars around the metal plant. how do you fancy doing fewer hours at work — for exactly the same pay? well, thousands of brits have been doing that — as part of what's though to be the world's biggest trial trial of a four—day week. following a six—month pilot, more than nine in ten of the businesses that took part said they will continue with the new working pattern, saying staff are "healthier and happier". our business correspondent emma simpson has more. this is what a friday looks like at environmental consultancy firm tyler grange. all the staff are off. they get 100% of their pay,

but do 80% of the hours. what started as a trial is now a permanent switch. we've seen our happiness go up significantly and we've seen our fatigue come down through the trial, so we can prove that our team are happier, less tired, and are making more money. it's pretty cool. so how did you do it? zero admin, i like to call it — we're trying to get rid of as much of the admin as possible that you didn't need to do. board meetings, where it used to be two hours long — they're now half an hour. if you give people this incredible incentive of a whole day of your time a week, they're going to work really hard to become more productive. just ask linda, the office manager. a day off for me is to get to do the things that i want to do. like this — the litter picking. doing something back for my community near where i live. it gives me more time to reflect and be with nature. are you happier? lam. much happier. healthier? healthier — definitely much healthier.

as you can see, it gives us a little bit of exercise, as well. could you ever go back to a five—day week now? i wouldn't want to, no. they laugh. i wouldn't want to, no. it's something that i think more companies should take on. the results are in for the 61 firms who took part in this six—month trial. 39% of employees surveyed said they were less stressed. there was a 65% reduction in sick days. and companies who provided data said revenues stayed broadly the same. fewer hours on full pay may not be possible for every employer, but with many companies finding it hard to attract staff and pay higher wages, could this four—day week be a solution, and help with the uk's long—running problem of low productivity? i think this trial will be a game—changer in terms of momentum in the uk toward a four—day week, and i'm hopeful that it is going to spur more government interest

in this at all levels of government, and more experimentation and some support for companies who want to go forward. how to get the right work—life balance. fewer hours on full pay won't become mainstream any time soon, but this trial suggests there are alternatives to the traditional five—day week. emma simpson, bbc news, birmingham. a four—foot alligator has been captured from a lake in a new york park. imagine! imagine coming across that in a park! the reptile — which has reportedly been nicknamed godzilla — was taken to a zoo by the park's authorities. helpfully very carefully! they said it was "very lethargic and possibly cold shocked" when it was found. it's not known how the animal — which is native to much warmer climates — had got there.

it looks bigger than four feet. it is massive, four feet wide?! they is massive, fourfeet wide?! they think it may be a pet that had been released. you don't release an alligator in the park to you. i don't know what the alligators in the british parks are facing over the british parks are facing over the next few days but matt can tell us. good morning. another mild stay out there this morning — another mild stay out there this morning and it will continue but there _ morning and it will continue but there is— morning and it will continue but there is something chillier on the way towards the end of the day. —— end of— way towards the end of the day. —— end of the week. lots of cloud around — end of the week. lots of cloud around today, not as much sunshine as a few_ around today, not as much sunshine as a few of— around today, not as much sunshine as a few of you saw yesterday, but take a _ as a few of you saw yesterday, but take a look — as a few of you saw yesterday, but take a look at the temperatures to start the _ take a look at the temperatures to start the day. again around eight to 10 degrees— start the day. again around eight to 10 degrees for the vast majority, above _ 10 degrees for the vast majority, above where we should be on a february— above where we should be on a february afternoon, never mind first thing _ february afternoon, never mind first thing in _ february afternoon, never mind first thing in the — february afternoon, never mind first thing in the morning. lots of cloud around~ _ thing in the morning. lots of cloud around. best of brighter breaks towards — around. best of brighter breaks towards eastern areas, around parts of merseyside, as well. north—west highlands _ of merseyside, as well. north—west highlands and islands will see

"this is part of history" is the headline, with the paper saying that the visit had raised spirits. the daily telegraph has an image of the two leaders embracing one another — but its main story is on comments made by former prime ministers liz truss and borisjohnson who are both urging their successor, rishi sunak, to send fighter jets to ukraine. the sun leads with the formal identification of nicola bulley — a story that dominates many of the front pages. the paper's headline, "you can rest now, nikki," reflects a tribute paid by herfamily which the paper describes as "poigna nt". and on the bbc news website reports how former breakfast presenter dan walker was injured after he was in a collision

with a car while was cycling. he tweeted photos saying he is "glad to be alive" and later updated that he was home with no broken bones. he had amazing help from the ambulance service and the nhs and is now home and resting, he is ok. he was now home and resting, he is ok. he: was out cold for 20 minutes or so. ly was out cold for 20 minutes or so. ly scary. was out cold for 20 minutes or so. l sca . , , ., ., was out cold for 20 minutes or so. l sca ., was out cold for 20 minutes or so. | ly seary-_ let's ly scary. get well soon, dan. let's look inside- _ ly scary. get well soon, dan. let's look inside- i _ ly scary. get well soon, dan. let's look inside. i love _ ly scary. get well soon, dan. let's look inside. i love this _ ly scary. get well soon, dan. let's look inside. i love this story. - ly scary. get well soon, dan. let's look inside. i love this story. the l look inside. i love this story. the big final coming up this weekend on sunday between newcastle and manchester united. 0ne newcastle fan alan carling had been anxiously waiting for his tickets. when he got home from the match at the weekend, where newcastle had been beaten by liverpool, he discovered his 11—month—old pet dog had shredded the tickets. h0! it is tiny, 11—month—old pet dog had shredded the tickets. tic! it is tiny, you the tickets. no! it is tiny, you can't really — the tickets. no! it is tiny, you can't really see _ the tickets. i457! it is tiny, you can't really see it.

you'll pay more than that. until last year, the energy regulator 0fgem would set the price cap in england, scotland and wales. but the government stepped in when 0fgem's price cap went up to a level that was unaffordable for many. new analysis from cornwall insight, the energy specialists, predicts that without that government scheme — the 0fgem cap would mean household energy bills going up to an average of nearly £3,300. the government guarantee means they won't go that high — the average bill will be £2,500 a year after april. that's still a jump of 20%. on top of that, the extra support for all households of £400, which the government paid over the winter, also comes to an end. that will make the rice feel even bigger. —— that will make the rise feel even bigger. but there is some better news from the energy analysts. they are predicting the 0fgem price cap could fall injuly,

there's just minor delays on the northern line this morning. everything a chilly seems to have cleared up! now onto the weather with kate kin5ella. good morning. it is another largely cloudy start this morning, the cloud today less willing to break up compared to yesterday. it will however remain largely dry and still we are hanging onto that relatively mild air. our next front you can see waiting in the wings doesn't move in until overnight tonight, so for now, it is looking largely dry. like i say, we've still got a few brighter spell5 this afternoon, maybe some glimpses of sunshine, the wind remains light. temperatures 5till reaching a mild 13 celsius. it 5tays cloudy into this evening, overnight we will see some showers through the early hours coming up from the south, further outbreak5 of rain into wednesday morning. minimum temperature, four celsius. so, that front will gradually move ea5twards. it does linger through the day, further outbreaks of rain, but behind it we will start to see some cool air moving in. we see the mild air moving away ea5twards. so for thursday, we still could see some 5howers.

some brighter spell5 as well, the temperatures a little fresher as we develop a northerly breeze. that's it from me, back tojon and sally. see you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. coming up on breakfast this morning. the actorjimmy akingbola, star of bel air and holby city, will be here to talk about his documentary on growing up in care. hello, a very good evening to you, it's thursday night, welcome to another top of the pops! eightie5 radio legend gary davies will be on the sofa. he'll tell us why he's du5ting off the shoulder—padded jacket and taking radio 25 sounds of the 805 on tour. and we meet the former world service

reporter who's been honoured more than 40 years after he broke news of the falklands invasion. thousands of ambulance workers across wales and most regions of england were on strike yesterday with further walk—outs planned in wales today. the action, part of an ongoing dispute with the government over pay affects non—life threatening calls only, but it's a big step for many of the staff. 0ur correspondent navtej johal spent the day with one ambulance worker to understand why she's joining the picket line. they are life—savers, but many ambulance staff feel it's their profession, which is now in need of emergency help. this is the story of one of them. my name is sarah quigley. i'm 48 years old. i have three children of my own and two stepchildren. and i'm from leicester. for the last nine years,

sarah's worked as an emergency medicaltechnician, driving ambulances and saving lives. all right, i'll see you later. she was inspired to do the job after ambulance staff helped save her daughter's life when she became seriously unwell with a virus. because of their quick response and diagnosis and finding out what to do and what was going on, yeah, it could have been fatal and she could have had lasting damage. it was a very, very scary time, yeah. don't get me crying! despite her love for the job, sarah is going on strike and we are following her. this is the fourth one we've done, so, yeah, feeling all right. fourth one? fourth one, yeah. are you not getting fatigue? fatigue? it's the reason that we're doing it, so i keep going. sarah's never been on strike

until these recent walk—outs. she's doing it because she says the service is being run into the ground due to a lack of investment. we've had instances of people pulling up into the ambulance area in their own cars with very, very poorly people. and that's devastating. that doesn't make you proud. what are the comments that you're getting that are negative from people? get back to work. there were expletives in there. get back to work, you lazy, greedy so—and—so's, that kind of thing. does any of that hurt? not really. i just take that as people are not actually understanding the whole bigger picture. what's the mood like here today? awesome. it's a really good turnout. i think people are kind of... we don't want to be on the picket line. this is not where we want to be. there'll be some people watching at home who say, everybody wants a pay rise, but you guys do such an importantjob that you shouldn't be going on strike. what do you say to that?

i understand where people are coming from who don't quite know the whole picture. we're putting people's lives at risk in the way that it's being run at the moment. there didn't appear to be any negativity. there's a lot of people papping their hooters and stuff like that and thumbs up, and that's really good. the government says that your demands are unaffordable, so how much longer will you keep going on strike? we are going to keep going on strike until we go into some meaningful negotiations. we need to be in talks, that's it. navteonhal, bbc news. we will be talking about the impact of the latest round of strikes in other parts of the nhs is the programme goes on this morning. john is here with all — programme goes on this morning. im�*r is here with all of the sport. we are talking about who owns our football clubs.— football clubs. there is such an a - etite, football clubs. there is such an appetite. but — football clubs. there is such an appetite, but is _ football clubs. there is such an appetite, but is not _ football clubs. there is such an appetite, but is not necessarily people that perhaps are investing in

football clubs previously, state owned football clubs, investment from the united states, the focus is on manchester united of late with the club being put up for sale, bids are coming in for them, and liverpool as well. several months ago we heard that the club was up for sale but now it appears after an interview that was given overnight by the club's owner overnight that it is no longer up for sale. really? desite it is no longer up for sale. really? despite not _ it is no longer up for sale. really? despite not distancing _ it is no longer up for sale. really? j despite not distancing themselves from that suggestion that the club was for sale, i think they are just looking for some additional investment. there is so much going on around club ownership certainly in the premier league and the sheer sums that are being talked about at the moment. good morning. liverpool's american owners could be staying put. john henry, who heads up fsg who own the club, has given an interview in which he said it's not for sale, despite suggestions back in october it was. he admitted though selling a possible stake in liverpool to investors.

they've been in place at anfield since buying the club for £300 million back in 2010. 0n the pitch, liverpool face real madrid in the first leg of their champions league last 16 tie tonight. it's the first meeting between the two since the chaotic scenes before the last champions league final in paris. a report released last week found uefa had primary responsibility for disruption ahead of the event. withjurgen klopp again stressing neither of the clubs were at fault. nothing that happened in the paris game, around, is the responsibility of real madrid. nothing was the responsibility of our people. the real madrid fans who come here, should be welcomed in the best possible way. go out in the city, be in parks and stuff like this, and enjoy your time here and come to one of the most historical football places in the world. now to the ongoing dispute in welsh

rugby which could see players strike, with this weekend's six nations match with wales and england at risk of being called off. players and the welsh union have been unable to agree on a series of demands and with at least 90 players out of contract at the end of the season, many are unsure if the'll even be renewed. tomos dafydd reports. attacking rugby at its best. the scarlets beating edinburgh at the weekend but the celebrations mask an uncomfortable reality. more than 70 players at the four regions are out of contract at the end of the season. and they don't know whether they'll be in a job in three months' time. the uncertainty is taking its toll. i don't think i've ever been in this position with this much uncertainty and this much fear around my future and what that holds. weeks, months are going by without any more real information or at least not any real certainty about what's going to happen.

so, it is emotional, i'm full of fear as the rest of the boys. a new six—year financial agreement between the welsh rugby union and the four professional regions has not yet been signed off. amid fears over cuts, budgets for next season they have not been finalised. it all means that no new contracts can be offered either. i our entire staff, rugby operations| team, the coaches and clearly very importantly the players, _ there are question marks and i think it's all about certainty. i i think with everything in life, i people can deal with the majority of what is thrown at them if they know what it is. i a player's worst fears became a reality forjohn dixon, a dragons centre injured at the weekend. he's out of contract this summer and last week he told us, with a second child on the way, a lack of clarity is having a real impact on players like him and theirfamilies. amid so much uncertainty,

his coach offered some support. he's upset, the changing room, the group are upset for him but we'll make sure we look afterjack dixon. the players will stick together and rightly so. they have a job to do and part of the job is protecting themselves as well, and it is important that we step up to the plate as a union and show the emotion and character that the players showed today. getting the players to sign any new deal is proving problematic and here's why. 0ne proposal will seem them guaranteed just 80% of their salary. the other 20 would depend on a range of factors, one of them being whether their team wins or not. cardiff should look something like this on saturday, england the visitors, a bumper day generating £10 million for welsh rugby. but without a resolution, the game is still in doubt and the clock is ticking. tomos dafydd, bbc news.

with those conversations continuing, we are in for a crucial few days. super league champions st helens are back home after becoming the first british team to win the world club challenge in australia for 29 years. they'll now get ready for the start of their super league defence where they're hoping to win a fifth successive domestic title. st helens beat nrl champions penrith pathers13—12to win the world club challenge on sunday in a nail biting finish. many say it shows how far british rugby league has come. i think considering everyone else wrote us off, but the self belief within the group, we always knew we had what we was capable of going over and doing. but i think we've got a very honest and hard—working playing group which can compete with anyone on the day and we've got the skill level to compete with the very best players in the world and we've shown that. the uk is among 30 countries that have pledged support to an ongoing ban on russian and belarusian athletes, competing in international sporting events amid russia's invasion of ukraine.

it follows a summit involving all 30 nations earlier this month, including france, germany and the united states. the international olympic council is "exploring a pathway" for athletes from the two nations to compete as neutrals. andy murray is back in action, winning his match in the first round of the qatar 0pen against lorenzo sonego. the scot was playing his first match since his marathon run at the australian open injanuary, and after losing the opening set, murray bounced back to take it in three, he will face fourth seed alexander zverev. and who would play you in a play or a movie? i dread to think! i don't know! gareth southgate is set to have name in lights, he is going to be played byjoseph

the government's expected to announce how it will reform betting laws. it'll be the first significant change to legislation for 18 years and much has changed in the industry over that time. our culture and media editor katie razzall has this report. and it's in! the beautiful game and gambling. it's in the stadiums. it's on the shirts. 0nline betting is now embedded in british culture. instant access to a casino thanks to the smartphone. fun or exploitation? it depends who you are. out of interest, have any of you gambled before? just put your hand up if you've gambled or if you gamble. james grimes has questions for students at the ua92 in manchester, the university set up by former footballer gary neville. james hasn't put a bet on for almost five years, but when he did, he tells them, it got out of hand. i had 20 payday loans, i owed every single person i knew money. i had the bailiffs coming round. james has invited us in for this workshop,

an insight into what the students think about gambling. they literally put it on shirts and it's influencing the younger generation to think it's normal, and that's where they all get into it. your bet's winning, you can cash out and you can... i it doesn't mean you lose i as much money as if you let it go to full time. one of the statistics i heard was that the companies make most of their money from people who lose and people who are addicted. it feels like just a bit of fun. it's not real, is it? james tells me when he was gambling, he was on the minimum wage but treated like a celebrity. i was losing thousands of pounds with a gambling company and they gave me a vip box at a premier league football match. they gave me tickets to the horse racing, there would be £100 free bet in my account every week. i still get emails now, and i haven't gambled in nearly five years, and i still get emails from gambling companies saying, "come back in. here's 100 free spins." this is about preventing the harm and preventing the exploitation of people like me who should have

been asked questions about my affordability, who shouldn't have been sent free bets. it's 18 years since the last big change in gambling law. there were no smartphones back then, and many agree the law needs to catch up. there'll be an announcement soon and there's been intense lobbying on all sides. reformers are hopeful the industry will now be forced to pay a percentage of what they make, a so—called statutory levy to fund education, treatment and research. reformers also want new affordability checks to make sure gamblers can afford to lose what they spend. the levels will probably be decided after a consultation. and the government is looking at tightening controls on advertising and marketing around sport. and when it comes to football sponsorship, it looks like the government isn't planning to ban the gambling firms. instead, all premier league clubs will voluntarily agree to take the company names off the front of football shirts.

that won't go far enough for some campaigners who want them out of the stadiums completely. when it gets to the weekend, you gamble. case management between health workers at the nhs northern gambling clinic in leeds. once he's finished his current therapy... three in ten people they now see here are women. estimates vary wildly, but hundreds of thousands of people across the uk are known to be problem gamblers. typically our service users are gambling from the moment they wake up in the morning in their bed, they take their phone into the bathroom with them, they take it in the car when they're even driving to work or on public transport, they're gambling at work. the wide availability of the products, the instant nature of it, the way the industry is advertising and marketing to people creates a significant public health crisis and that's what we have. the adverts show the more sociable, celebrity—endorsed side of gambling, and the betting and gaming council, which declined an interview, says most of the more than 22 million people

who have a bet each month do so safely and responsibly. that was on the plane as we went on our last holiday. it was only afterjohn myers' son ryan took his own life that the family discovered he had a gambling addiction. ryan had even emailed the gambling company a few months before, after waking up to find he'd emptied his bank account. "i know i don't deserve it," he said, "but i was wondering if you could find it in your heart to maybe somehow refund some of what i deposited last night and then ban me." you get emotional thinking of what he was going through and how he must have felt at that time. you know what i mean? he'd lost all his money. well, the adverts need curbing. i'd like to see the government bring out adverts like they did with cigarettes and alcohol and show the downside of it. show the families getting taken out of the house because they've lost their houses. show them getting taken to court because they've stolen money to gamble. let's face it, show the funerals. john hopes whatever the government

proposes in the white paper, it will protect future ryans from gambling harm. row, row, row your boat! katie razzall, bbc news. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised you can find organisations offering help and support on the bbc action line website, just search bbc.couk/actionline. katie will be here to talk about what changes might come in that government white paper in the next couple of weeks. in 1982, as the bbc�*s correspondent in buenos aires, it fell to harold briley to break the news that argentina had invaded the falkland islands, and his reports continued throughout the conflict. now, more than four decades later and at the age of 91, harold is being honoured by the islanders for his work during the war.

chrissie reidy reports. the assault on the islands was timed to begin at first light with a commando raid to take possession of the airportjust outside the capital, port stanley. the voice of bbc world service journalist harold briley, reporting on the radio during the falklands war of 1982. his reports were invaluable to the islanders and now, four decades on, harold, who's 92 next month, has been honoured by the people of the falklands who've named a new children's park after him. it's a recreation ground sandwiched between two roads, one of which is named after the then governor, sir rex hunt. the other road is named after the commander of the task force, sir sandy woodward. and in between is my recreation park named after me, harold briley! harold was based in buenos aires for two and a half months.

it was a very dangerous place to be because the argentine dictatorship in six years had a period of repression in which they killed 30,000 of their own, mostly innocent people, including 130 journalists. so it was dangerous to be there. and i got quite a few death threats because they were listening to bbc broadcasts. can you tell me what the first indications were that this military invasion had taken place? yes, in fact, as the invasion was taking place, we got word on an argentine news agency saying it was going ahead. harold was awarded the 0be for his services to journalism and broadcasting in 1990. but this latest honour from the islanders, he says, means something different. chrissie reidy, bbc news. that takes you back, doesn't it? it really does, the phone in the studio, we need one of those. filial]!

coming our way. today the last of the very mild days, with it plenty of cloud overhead, not as much sunshine as some of you saw yesterday. the cloud thick enough for some light rain and drizzle on the hills and coast in the west, but across the north west highlands, western isles, 0rkney and shetland will see the heaviest rain, not all day long, there will be dry spells. the wind not as strong as yesterday, south—westerly. with some breaks around the east of wales and the north—east of scotland and eastern england, temperatures peak at 13 to 15 degrees. the late february average is seven to nine. mild starts to tonight but some changes afoot, this evening rain pushing across northern ireland and overnight through scotland and into western england and wales, a few showers breaking out across other parts of england into the morning, fairly erratic, some will be dry, not as mild as we nights. certainly

of rain into wednesday morning. minimum temperature, four celsius. so, that front will gradually move eastwards. it does linger through the day, further outbreaks of rain, but behind it we will start to see some cool air moving in. we see the mild air moving away eastwards. so for thursday, we still could see some showers. some brighter spells as well, the temperatures a little fresher as we develop a northerly breeze. that's it from me — back tojon and sally. see you in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. more disruption for patients, asjunior doctors in england become the latest nhs staff to vote to strike in another row with the government over pay. president biden touches down in poland for further talks about the threat posed by russia, after his surprise visit to ukraine. two new earthquakes hit turkey and syria, leaving hundreds injured — rescue workers are once again searching for people trapped under rubble. a cut to the cost of menopause treatment in england, benefiting hundreds of thousands of women who are prescribed hrt.

what does the future hold for liverpool with the club's owners insisting the club's not for sale on the eve of their crucial champions league tie with real madrid? it is another mild day out there but there are signs of something cooler on the way. join me for the full forecast here on breakfast. it's tuesday the 21st of february. our main story. junior doctors in england have become the latest health workers to vote for strike action in a dispute with the government over pay. members of the british medical association are expected to stage a 72—hour walkout, possibly as early as mid—march. bma leaders are set to meet health officials tomorrow to discuss the issue. 0ur health correspondent katharine da costa has this report. this winter's seen the biggest wave of industrial action in nhs history — affecting nurses, paramedics and physiotherapists. nowjunior doctors in england

willjoin other health unions on the picket line in an increasingly bitter dispute over pay. when 98% of us vote to strike, i think it says a lot. dr andrew meyerson moved from the us to london eight years ago to study medicine. now a junior doctor in a&e, he says too many of his colleagues feel burnt out, can't provide the patient care they'd like, and are looking for better—paid jobs overseas. we're not asking for a crazy amount of money here. we're really, really not. we're asking to be able to afford to live in this country, to afford to be able to pay our bills, and to afford to continue working in the jobs that we absolutely love. we don't want to see... i wish that we don't see another day of strike action in the nhs. junior doctors in england received a 2% rise in april as part of a four—year deal worth a total of 8%. the basic salary of a junior doctor in theirfirst year's just over £29,000, but average wages can exceed 40,000 once overtime and night payments are included. but the bma estimates their pay has

fallen steeply over the last 15 years as a result of rising inflation. it's calling for an increase of 26% to restore it to 2008 levels. not safe, not fair! junior doctors last went on strike in 2016 in a dispute over their contract. this time, bma members plan a three—day walk—out in march, and to withdraw both routine and emergency care. more than 140,000 appointments have been cancelled due to strikes so far this winter. nhs leaders say an escalation of action is deeply concerning. the junior doctors represent a crucial part of the nhs workforce, and obviously with them out for a continuous 72—hour period, that'll present serious challenges for nhs organisations. and we really do need to see a resolution to this spiralling industrial action — not least because of the huge disruption for patients. the health secretary steve barclay�*s

described strike action as deeply disappointing, and wants to continue discussing what's fair and affordable, as well as wider concerns around workload. elsewhere, discussions on pay ongoing in wales, while the bma's preparing to ballot junior doctors in scotland very soon. katharine da costa, bbc news. the family of nicola bulley described her as the centre of their world after police confirmed her body was found in a river in lancashire. the mother—of—two went missing more than three weeks ago, while walking her dog in the village of st michael's on wyre. her body was recovered from the river wyre on sunday, around a mile from where she was last seen. president biden will hold talks with european leaders in poland today — hours after he left ukraine following a secretly planned visit. mr biden's meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky in kyiv came just days before the first anniversary of russia's invasion. vincent mcaviney reports.

air-raid siren. american presidents normally arrive to military—band fanfare, but in kyiv yesterday, joe biden's historic visit was to the sound of an air—raid siren. after months of planning, biden travelled in secret via train for ten hours to an active war zone to mark the one—year anniversary of russia's illegal invasion on friday. with unprecedented security in the capital, the americans had warned the kremlin that joe biden was coming. a point was being made. ukraine was still under attack, but its most powerful ally was there to show its leader and people his support. the symbolism of the visit might be strong, but a few hundred miles away on ukraine's eastern front, it's more weaponry than matters. president zelensky has declared a coming year of victory, but to achieve that they will need more rockets and tanks, as well as the fighterjets

currently being held back. for when this snow no longer hampers them, both sides are planning to mount renewed spring offensives. and ukraine wants to win — notjust hold steady in a long war of attrition. nevertheless, no—one is in any doubt about the task facing this country. to hold our nerve. this isn't a short war. i wish it was, but it isn't. and it means that we need to continue to support ukrainians while they make their progress, and expect that they can push back to the extent that negotiations in good faith can begin. this is why ukraine wants these weapons. they don't release casualty figures. their death toll isn't as high as russia's, but it's still in the tens of thousands. before leaving for poland, president biden laid a wreath in their memory. his host later thanked him

and his nightly address. translation: today i saw such| determination of president biden and the united states of america. and i want to thank mr president for this visit. we are working on the supply of long—range weapons and other types of weapons that were not previously included in support packages. and i'm gratefulfor another package that will definitely strengthen our guys on the front line. president biden will spend the next three days in poland, meeting with fellow nato leaders. later today, president putin will respond with an address to his audacious visit to a capital he thought he'd long ago control. russia believes it can now win a war of endurance. ukraine doesn't want to find out. america knows time is running short. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. we arejoined now by our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse. good morning. just explain to us how

significant president biden's visit was yesterday. significant president biden's visit was yesterday-— significant president biden's visit was esterda. ., . was yesterday. good morning. well, it was huge. — was yesterday. good morning. well, it was huge. to _ was yesterday. good morning. well, it was huge, to be _ was yesterday. good morning. well, it was huge, to be honest _ was yesterday. good morning. well, it was huge, to be honest with i was yesterday. good morning. well, it was huge, to be honest with you. | it was huge, to be honest with you. just to give you an idea of why i am calling it that, we have seen a diplomatic treadmill here in kyiv, notjust diplomatic treadmill here in kyiv, not just throughout this war but before the invasion. ukraine has long tried to secure as much support as possible, and what matters to so many people that you speak to is who is helping with its war effort, and with what. it was a big moment because where they walked, just at the golden domes of saint michael's cathedral, just over a year ago and those cobbled roads, people with frantically trying to get out of the city in their millions, and across the country there was a refugee crisis. 0thers decided to stay. they were volunteering to fight, being issued with automatic weapons, and that russians were advancing, it was

incredibly nervous time, and crucially many predicted that volodomyr zelenskyy would be toppled within days and moscow would install a puppet government and it tries to pull ukraine closer. a lot has happened in the last year. volodomyr zelenskyy remains in power and he has just hosted the leader of the free world, the most powerful politician in the world, and ukraine's biggest ally. and when ukraine's biggest ally. and when ukraine continues to fight for its very survival. a meeting like this was a message and messaging is important in war, it was a direct challenge to moscow's narrative that the support of the west was waning, although you would imagine vladimir putin may be waiting for the upcoming presidential elections next year, where many are concerned about what that could mean for continued western support but it was nevertheless a statement. there was substance, as well, another military aid package was announced but we are back on the global stage again.

those political where there was a sum in poland and a speech schedule. james comer thank you, that is james waterhouse in kyiv this morning. —— james, thank you. rescuers are once again searching for people trapped under rubble in turkey after two new earthquakes hit the country, killing at least three people. the earlier quakes on 6th february killed 44,000 people in turkey and syria with tens of thousands more left homeless. hatay is the latest place to be hit by the quakes. 0ur middle east correspondent anna foster is over in turkey. more earthquakes, thankfully not as devastating as last time but clearly really unnerving for people there. oh, hugely so. i mean, when the 0h, hugely so. i mean, when the ground started to shake last night we felt a lot of aftershocks in this region since that initial earthquake two weeks ago but this one really

felt significantly different. it was powerful, it was strong. you saw people running out of buildings in fear. where i am this morning, this is a volleyball court but of course you can't see much of it because it is covered with blankets and mattresses and duvets. this place at this time yesterday morning was almost deserted, but last night when that new quake happened, they think as many as 600 people arrived here to get some kind of safety because of course in this city and so many cities across southern turkey, people live in those big high—rise buildings. so when they start to shake again, think about everything you have witnessed and lived through in the last fortnight, and the fear that rises once again. people came here because this feels like a strong and sturdy and quite modern building, and people don't like being in the higherfloors of building, and people don't like being in the higher floors of those high—rise building at the moment. some people you can see i still sleeping, it was a late night for many. people have their children

here, their pets. imagine what that is like, everything you have been through, and of course not knowing, for many of these people, what will happen in the long term. they keep feeling these shocks, there are fresher earthquakes like last night, people are still struggling for shelter and food, for medicines, for aid, and it makes life for these people incredibly difficult and incredibly traumatic even two weeks after that first earthquake. thank ou ve after that first earthquake. thank you very much — after that first earthquake. thank you very much indeed. _ after that first earthquake. thank you very much indeed. it - after that first earthquake. thank you very much indeed. it is i after that first earthquake. thank you very much indeed. it is really} you very much indeed. it is really hard for us to imagine. thank you. a iii—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 17—year—old was stabbed to death in west yorkshire. police were called to kings mill lane in huddersfield atjust before 4am on monday and found the 17—year—old with serious injuries. he later died in hospital. as well as the ia—year—old, a 37—year—old man and a 19—year—old woman were also arrested in connection with the investigation. one person has died and at least 13 more have been injured after an explosion at a factory in the us state of ohio.

merseyside, greater manchester, aberdeenshire and across eastern areas. these are the favoured spots for sunnier moments through the day. that is because you are sheltered from what is a more gentle south—westerly when compared to yesterday, but still blustery across western and northern isles. temperatures this afternoon continue to rise, may be up to iii temperatures this afternoon continue to rise, may be up to 1a or 15 degrees in brighter spots. milder across the north—east of scotland, well above the late february average. there are signs of a change and that will start tonight. rain this evening across northern ireland, overnight across scotland, spreading erratically into england and wales, gradually introducing something a bit more chilly tomorrow morning in western scotland, northern ireland. sunshine and a few wintry showers but elsewhere the cloud will hold on before it gradually clears and at the end of the week, temperatures back to where they should be the time of year but they should be the time of year but they will be sunshine. cloudy in the london forecast but they will be sunnier moments. we love the sunnier moments. thank you. as we've been reporting this morning, junior doctors in england are the latest health workers

to vote for strike action in a dispute over pay. members of the british medical association are expected to stage a 72—hour walkout, possibly as early as mid—march. we'rejoined now by dr emma runswick from the bma. good morning. first of all, can you explain to us and people at home while you are taking industrial action. ~ , ,., , while you are taking industrial action. ~ , , while you are taking industrial action. , , g ., action. absolutely i can. junior doctors in _ action. absolutely i can. junior doctors in this _ action. absolutely i can. junior doctors in this country - action. absolutely i can. junior doctors in this country have i action. absolutely i can. junior. doctors in this country have faced action. absolutely i can. junior- doctors in this country have faced a cumulative 26% pay cut since 2008 in real terms will stop we have junior doctors earning as little as £14 per hour and we would like to reverse those pay cuts to prevent staff leaving the nhs and to make sure we can provide the care patients deserve. �* , ., , , can provide the care patients deserve. �* y., , , ., ., deserve. but you did sign up to an agreement — deserve. but you did sign up to an agreement which _ deserve. but you did sign up to an agreement which would _ deserve. but you did sign up to an agreement which would increase l deserve. but you did sign up to an i agreement which would increase your pay by a lesser amounts, didn't you? you signed a contract that would agree to what has already happened. in our last dispute, which was mainly about hours and safety, we agreed a multi—year deal in order to

families with very low incomes. # only you. because here, places are set aside for girls who've had free school meals. i sat down with some of these pupils for a chat, and they told me they were encouraged to be ambitious. i didn't know how inclusive it was compared to other grammar schools, and i think it's really good that we have this kind of environment here that's supportive to all kind of backgrounds. i thought before i came that it was going to be quite, like, posh because that's what everyone told me before i came. but then, when i came here, i found it was, like, quite nice and positive and i liked it. my friends, for example — one wants to be a lawyer, j one wants to be something else. and it's like... they push you to be the best you can be and that's what i find really- grateful in a school like this — that you can be pushed - to your limits. grammar schools have a separate admissions test, and wealthier parents can pay for lots of tutoring. but these birmingham grammar schools have pioneered changes — setting aside places for poorer

children who've passed the test, and doubling their numbers as a result. because we have one in five of our children in our grammar schools now coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, meaning that we represent more fairly the society and the communities that we serve. and that's what grammar schools should be about. they should be an academic elite — that's why they're there — but they shouldn't be a social elite. for example, put a simile in there, or maybe you've thought about a powerful adjective... this grammar school has changed. others are trying — aware they look more like private schools for the wealthy. some head teachers have told me better—off parents resist change. we're showing each school in the area that it actually exists in. and then you get the — yes, you get a comparable area to compare the schools to. grammar schools have been getting bigger. so, with one of our data experts, wesley, i've been investigating.

so some of them have priority, but also a change to the test scores? something like that? that's right. we've looked at how many disadvantaged pupils they have, and checked that against their local area, then checked admission policies — are they trying to admit more poorer pupils? grammar—school places have grown by 19% since 2010 — twice as fast as the number of pupils in their areas. 61 now have a quota for poorer pupils — a big increase from when we last looked. almost as many give them priority in another way. but a quarter have fewer than 5% of pupils from poorer families. almost all other secondary schools in england have many more. grammar schools will continue to face lots of questions, but no—one is suggesting getting rid of them. grammar schools should do more, absolutely. labour opposes the expansion of grammar schools — i don't think that's what we need

right now — but at the same time, i think structural change shouldn't be the priority for government. my priority as secretary of state would be to deliver higher standards for all children in every state school. grammar schools offer a good experience for those that get in, but research shows they affect all the schools around them — children who don't get in do less well than comprehensive areas. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. it is tuesday morning. in a few minutes we will hear from the health minister maria caulfield about changes potentially to the way hrt is prescribed in england and what that could mean in terms of casting for patient. aha, that could mean in terms of casting for atient. �* . ., _,, for patient. a reduction in cost from over— for patient. a reduction in cost from over £100 _ for patient. a reduction in cost from over £100 down - for patient. a reduction in cost from over £100 down to i for patient. a reduction in cost from over £100 down to £20 i for patient. a reduction in cost from over £100 down to £20 ifj for patient. a reduction in cost i from over £100 down to £20 if you buy a certificate that covers you for the year. really interested to hear from you this morning about

smithfield market, the city's meat market was built back in the 1860s. its meant to be moving alongside billingsgate and new spitalfields markets, nut the royal charter bans but the royal charter bans a market from being set up within a day's sheep drive, 6.66 miles from romford market. the move now needs parliamentary approval. hackney, hounslow and waltham forest have won bids for government funding to install new charging points for electric vehicles. and ahead of the expansion of the ultra low emission zone there will also be more for barnet, one of the original pilot areas. a young boy from redbridge has turned his dream of having a book published into reality. henry dreamt up lark the shark during lockdown — a loveable, friendly shark on a quest to rid the ocean of litter — and much to his surprise, a publisher loved it. we googled publishers and we sent it to the first one we saw and we went on holiday and came back to a contract. we were very lucky.

it was all a whirlwind and they said, "we loved your book and we think that it's going to be amazing." before i go, there'sjust enough time to let you know that the bbc radio london make a difference awards are back! it's your chance to help us recognise and celebrate the everyday heroes who are going above and beyond in your local community. you can nominate someone by going to... let's take a look at the tubes now. there's just minor delays on thejubilee line this morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another largely cloudy start this morning, the cloud today less willing to break up compared to yesterday. it will however remain largely dry and still we are hanging onto that relatively mild air. our next front you can see waiting in the wings doesn't move in until overnight tonight, so for now, it is looking largely dry. like i say, we've still got a few

brighter spells this afternoon, maybe some glimpses of sunshine, the wind remains light. temperatures still reaching a mild 13 celsius. it stays cloudy into this evening, overnight we will see some showers through the early hours coming up from the south, further outbreaks of rain into wednesday morning. minimum temperature, four celsius. so, that front will gradually move eastwards. it does linger through the day, further outbreaks of rain, but behind it we will start to see some cool air moving in. we see the mild air moving away eastwards. so for thursday, we still could see some showers. some brighter spells as well, the temperatures a little fresher as we develop a northerly breeze. that's it from me. i'm back in an hour. have a lovely morning. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. women in england who use hormone replacement therapy to ease menopause symptoms will soon be able to access treatment for less

than £20 a year, through a government scheme. the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists welcomed the plan but said more needs to be done to address the wider inequalities in accessing menopause care. we're nowjoined by health minister maria caulfield who is live for us now in westminster. good morning. first of all, for everybody watching at home, could you just explain how this is going to work? for you just explain how this is going to work? .. .. you just explain how this is going to work? ., ., .. you just explain how this is going to work? ., ., ., . to work? for women who are prescribed — to work? for women who are prescribed hrt _ to work? for women who are prescribed hrt currently i to work? for women who are | prescribed hrt currently they to work? for women who are i prescribed hrt currently they have to pay normal perception charges and for some women the cost of that, which can be hundreds of pounds a year, particularly if they are on both oestrogen and progesterone, can put their must put their —— both oestrogen and progesterone, can put their —— it can put them off hrt. we don't want costs to be an influence. from 1st of april, people can order a certificate and then presented to a pharmacy when they pick up their prescription so they

are exempt from charges for hormone replacement therapy. it lasts for 12 months. if you are on a prescription and it does not run out until may or june, don't buy it until april, wait until your perception runs out and then you have got a full 12 months for £18 and 70, the dual prescription charge going forward. that is a significant savings of hundreds of pounds for women to access hrt relatively cheaply. um? access hrt relatively cheaply. why has it taken _ access hrt relatively cheaply. why has it taken so _ access hrt relatively cheaply. why has it taken so long to get to this point? has it taken so long to get to this oint? ~ .. �* , has it taken so long to get to this oint? . ., �* , ., has it taken so long to get to this oint? . ., �*, ., has it taken so long to get to this oint? ~ ., �*, . , point? women's health has been underrepresented _ point? women's health has been underrepresented for _ point? women's health has been underrepresented for years, i point? women's health has been underrepresented for years, the | underrepresented for years, the government did a call for evidence two years ago and we got 100,000 people responding, menopause featuring heavily but also other conditions such as endometriosis and ivf and women not feeling relaxed they were heard about how important their health issues are. so we published a women's health strategy, the hrt and menopause is a key

priority for that. the two young —— too long people assumed that menopause was just periods stopping at a few hot flashes but it can be debilitating, notjust four days or weeks or months but for years. perimenopausal and then going into the menopausal itself. hrt can make a huge difference to restoring that hormone balance and reducing symptoms such as mood swings, brain fog, palpitations, headaches, symptoms that can really throw a woman's life off—kilter and which hrt can really make a difference. not for every woman but it can for some women. ! not for every woman but it can for some women-— not for every woman but it can for some women. i would like to talk to ou about some women. i would like to talk to you about the _ some women. i would like to talk to you about the people _ some women. i would like to talk to you about the people who _ some women. i would like to talk to you about the people who cannot i some women. i would like to talk to l you about the people who cannot use hrt in a second. you mentioned people who are on oestrogen and progesterone, some women might be 11 on the other, most is on both which is why this is so expensive. what about women who have to take other supplements like testosterone? currently that is not licensed as an hrt product. iuntil!!! currently that is not licensed as an hrt product-—

such as acupuncture, reflexology, many other treatments that will help. and that's why women need that expert advice from clinicians and practitioners who are experts in the menopause, and although we are improving education for all health care professionals, you do need specialist advice and women's health hubs will be popping up around the country and able to offer that whole support, holistic support for women who are going through the menopause to support them better than they are currently supported at the moment. let's talk about the proposal that the government recently rejected in january, we talked about the range of suggestions that came from the committee, one of the proposals is that you should be introducing menopause leave for women in the workplace, perhaps struggling even with hrt help. why did you reject the proposal that menopause leave should be allowed? the the proposal that menopause leave should be allowed?— should be allowed? the effect of menopause _ should be allowed? the effect of menopause on — should be allowed? the effect of menopause on the _ should be allowed? the effect of menopause on the workplace i should be allowed? the effect of menopause on the workplace is. should be allowed? the effect of. menopause on the workplace is real and we are losing women from the

workforce because they cannot cope with the symptoms of the menopause. i don't think the answer is to take women out of the workplace. we want the workplace to adjust to women's needs. there are some really simple changes and employers are really up for this. changes and employers are really up forthis. many changes and employers are really up for this. many employers including the nhs and civil service, parliament and large and small employers are signing up to the well—being for women pledge. flexible working, giving women time off to go to their gp and change prescriptions, better ventilation in the workplace, flexible working, all of these things can help. there menopause can last for years and i don't want to offer a solution which takes women out of the workplace for years. we need the workplace to adjust for women. for too long women have had to adjust their own lives and justify... have had to ad'ust their own lives and justify. . .— and justify. .. there is a significant _ and justify. .. there is a significant way - and justify. .. there is a significant way to - and justify. .. there is a significant way to go i and justify. .. there is a | significant way to go for and justify. .. there is a - significant way to go for what places to catch up to women. ijust want to put this point to you from

caroline nokes, a colleague of yours, who condemns the government's response to the women and equality committee report injanuary, saying this was a missed opportunity to protect vast numbers of talented women to leave the workforce. it leaves me unconvinced that the government has menopause as a priority. is it a priority?— priority. is it a priority? that's wh i priority. is it a priority? that's why i am _ priority. is it a priority? that's why i am announcing... - priority. is it a priority? that's why i am announcing... why. priority. is it a priority? that's - why i am announcing... why didn't ou act why i am announcing... why didn't you act on — why i am announcing... why didn't you act on their — why i am announcing... why didn't| you act on their recommendations? why i am announcing... why didn't l you act on their recommendations? i don't think there is a consensus that taking women out of the workplace is the way to manage the implications of menopause symptoms for women. we are hearing from employers desperate to get more women who are going to the menopause back into work and they want to be able to support women. yes, time off, one of those requirements for women to be able to manage symptoms, maybe if they have not been sleeping well, they do need some time off. but not mandatory leave that forces women out of the workplace for months at a time. i think employers are really up for this, they want to

know how to support their female workforce going to the menopause. i think for many women up until recently, since we have been talking about the menopause, many women didn't even realise they were going through it. i have had so many women who are on antidepressants prescribed by their gps who are actually going to the menopause and it was the hormone changes leading to the problems they were having. once they started hrt, they could come off the antidepressants and get back to normal life. we need a much more differed about —— wider debate about the menopause and the workplace is important that but mandatory leave similar to maternity leave i don't because the answer. but flexible working, a workplace which adapts to women, that is what we want to see. last which adapts to women, that is what we want to see-— we want to see. last week we spoke to mariella frostrup _ we want to see. last week we spoke to mariella frostrup after _ we want to see. last week we spoke to mariella frostrup after the - to mariella frostrup after the government rejected those proposals a moment ago, this is what she said. this report, this response does nothing — this report, this response does

workplace and make it harder... who is suggesting — workplace and make it harder... who is suggesting it is forced? that - workplace and make it harder... who is suggesting it is forced? that is - is suggesting it is forced? that is the suggestion — is suggesting it is forced? that is the suggestion in _ is suggesting it is forced? that is the suggestion in the _ is suggesting it is forced? that is the suggestion in the select - the suggestion in the select committee report, mandatory leave. we would like to see more flexible working and supporting employers to do that. the menopause is a priority area for the government which is why so much work is going on. we have reduced the shortages of the hrt supplies are significantly in the last year. last year, we had nearly 19 types of hrt that were struggling with stock, we are now down to five and this week more supplies will be coming address a number of those that we have struggled to get supplies for. it is absolutely a priority for this government. and i think the first government ever to recognise the importance of women's health and the menopause and supporting women who have not had their voices heard for too long. you will know that _ their voices heard for too long. you will know that a _ their voices heard for too long. you will know that a menopause task force was set up and was supposed to meet every two months. caroline nokes says it has not met since last

women about how the menopause is viewed, managed and how women live with the menopause instead of how it has been historically, which is not something that can be talked about and women have had to suffer in silence on their own. that is ending now. this government has made those changes. now. this government has made those chances. , ., now. this government has made those chances. ., ., , ., changes. junior doctors are planning a 72 hour in — changes. junior doctors are planning a 72 hour in march, _ changes. junior doctors are planning a 72 hour in march, striking - changes. junior doctors are planning a 72 hour in march, striking over - a 72 hour in march, striking over pay, how is the government plan to protect patients during time? we are absolutely concerned _ protect patients during time? we are absolutely concerned about - protect patients during time? we are absolutely concerned about the - absolutely concerned about the announcement thatjunior doctors announcement that junior doctors will not announcement thatjunior doctors will not necessarily protect a&e and intensive care units, that is a real worry because they are the sickest patients... worry because they are the sickest atients. .. , _ worry because they are the sickest patients- - -— patients... they say that other doctors well. _ patients... they say that other doctors well. my _ patients... they say that other| doctors well. my understanding patients... they say that other - doctors well. my understanding for the bma is their _ doctors well. my understanding for the bma is their current _ doctors well. my understanding for the bma is their current demands l doctors well. my understanding for. the bma is their current demands in terms of why they are striking is a demand of 26% pay increase. that is unrealistic and not achievable. they are in a different position to other health care workers, they are not part of the independent pay review body process, they have a multi—year

they'd consider a sale, for the first time since since they bought the club for £300 million back in in 2010. liverpool will wonder if they've rediscovered their form atjust the right time as they face real madrid, the newly crowned club world champions. the first meeting between the two since the chaotic scenes before last season's champions league final, when real became european champions for a record 14th time. a report last week found uefa had primary responsibility for the disruption. klopp says he's onlyjust managed to bring himself to watch the match back. we played this final in paris, and i didn't watch it back since then until this weekend. so the thing i realised immediately, i know why i didn't watch it back. but i had to do. it is proper torture. because we played a good game, and we could

have won the game and because they scored a decisive goal, we didn't. but that is seven or eight months ago. this is now different teams, same clubs, different teams, different times. i can't wait to play the game, really. but going to their ground is a tough place as well. big few days for welsh rugby with the threat remaining of saturday's six nations match between wales and england being called off, unless several demands are met, with talks ongoing with the welsh rfu. several players say they're "full of fear for the future" and still unsure whether they'll be in a job at the end of the season with a payment structure still to be settled on. the wru is insisting it is working on a deal with the four regions ahead of wednesday's deadline, with strike action i don't think i've ever been in this position with this much uncertainty and this much fear around my future and what that holds. you know, weeks, months

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. more disruption for patients, asjunior doctors in england become the latest nhs staff to vote to strike, in another row with the government over pay. president biden touches down in poland, forfurther talks about the threat posed by russia, after his surprise visit to ukraine.

two new earthquakes hit turkey and syria leaving hundreds injured — rescue workers are once again searching for people trapped under rubble. energy bills to rise again. with government help set to end, households face a 20% increase in costs in april. i'll be looking at what that could mean for you. we turn up the bass — it's tyree and kool rock steady! ooh! gary davies! i can't believe you did that! the legendary dj will be here to talk us through the hits of the 1980s — the decade that made him a household name. temperatures may not have been into 80s but certainly hit the low 60s. mild again today but things turning cooler through the rest of the week, i will heavier forecast here and breakfast. it's tuesday the 21st of february. junior doctors in england have become the latest health workers to vote to strike in a dispute with the government over pay.

members of the british medical association are expected to stage a 72—hour walkout, possibly as early as mid—march. bma leaders are set to meet health officials tomorrow to discuss the issue. our health correspondent katharine da costa has this report. this winter's seen the biggest wave of industrial action in nhs history — affecting nurses, paramedics and physiotherapists. nowjunior doctors in england willjoin other health unions on the picket line in an increasingly bitter dispute over pay. when 98% of us vote to strike, i think it says a lot. dr andrew meyerson moved from the us to london eight years ago to study medicine. now a junior doctor in a&e, he says too many of his colleagues feel burnt out, can't provide the patient care they'd like, and are looking for better—paid jobs overseas. we're not asking for a crazy amount of money here. we're really, really not. we're asking to be able to afford to live in this country,

to afford to be able to pay our bills, and to afford to continue working in the jobs that we absolutely love. we don't want to see... i wish that we don't see another day of strike action in the nhs. junior doctors in england received a 2% rise in april as part of a four—year deal worth a total of 8%. the basic salary of a junior doctor in theirfirst year's just over £29,000, but average wages can exceed 40,000 once overtime and night payments are included. but the bma estimates their pay has fallen steeply over the last 15 years as a result of rising inflation. it's calling for an increase of 26% to restore it to 2008 levels. not safe, not fair! there will always be safe emergency and critical care and i want to emphasise that to your viewers because they will always be able to go to hospital and receive care. not safe, not fair! junior doctors last went on strike in 2016 in a dispute over their contract. this time, bma members plan a three—day walk—out in march,

and to withdraw both routine and emergency care. more than 140,000 appointments have been cancelled due to strikes so far this winter. nhs leaders say an escalation of action is deeply concerning. the junior doctors represent a crucial part of the nhs workforce, and obviously with them out for a continuous 72—hour period, that'll present serious challenges for nhs organisations. and we really do need to see a resolution to this spiralling industrial action — not least because of the huge disruption for patients. the health secretary steve barclay�*s described strike action as deeply disappointing, and wants to continue discussing what's fair and affordable, as well as wider concerns around workload. elsewhere, discussions on pay are ongoing in wales, while the bma's preparing to ballot junior doctors in scotland very soon. katharine da costa, bbc news. the family of nicola bulley described her as the centre of their world after police confirmed her body was found

in a river in lancashire. the mother—of—two went missing more than three weeks ago, while walking her dog in the village of st michael's on wyre. her body was recovered from the river wyre on sunday, around a mile from where she was last seen. russian president vladimir putin will deliver a state—of—the—nation address later this morning, as the anniversary of the invasion of ukraine approaches. it comes a day after us presidentjoe biden's surprise trip to kyiv — he's now in poland meeting fellow nato leaders. our russia editor steve rosenberg joins us from moscow. good morning. what can we expect from this morning?— from this morning? well, i tell you what i'm not— from this morning? well, i tell you what i'm not expecting _ from this morning? well, i tell you what i'm not expecting this - from this morning? well, i tell you l what i'm not expecting this morning. based upon what vladimir putin has said in recent weeks, from the comments he had made. i am not

expecting any regret, any hint of remorse, any admission by the russian president that he has made a mistake or miscalculation by invading ukraine. contrition is not something vladimir putin does. instead, much more likely, he will use the address once again to try to justify the invasion of ukraine, and to present the kremlin narrative, the false narrative, according to which it is ukraine, the west, nato, america who are the aggressors in this conflict, and russia is the innocent victim fighting to defend itself from the collective west that wants to destroy it. and thereby he will try to explain to the russian people why it is that a special military operation as he calls it, that was only supposed to take a few days, a few weeks maximum, has now gone on for a year. hale days, a few weeks maximum, has now gone on for a year.— gone on for a year. we have seen ictures gone on for a year. we have seen pictures of— gone on for a year. we have seen pictures of the — gone on for a year. we have seen pictures of the last _ gone on for a year. we have seen pictures of the last few _ gone on for a year. we have seen pictures of the last few hours - gone on for a year. we have seen pictures of the last few hours of l pictures of the last few hours of president biden's trip to kyiv. i'm interested to know how that has been reported in russia.—

not as devastating this time but this must have been terrifying for people there after what they went through a couple of weeks ago. yeah. through a couple of weeks ago. yeah, fortunately. — through a couple of weeks ago. yeah, fortunately. the _ through a couple of weeks ago. yeah, fortunately, the devastation _ through a couple of weeks ago. yeah, fortunately, the devastation this - fortunately, the devastation this time was far less because it happened on almost exactly the same site is that original earthquake. so in many ways it was like pressing on a bruise that already existed, the buildings that were going to collapse had already fallen. many of those are still standing, people had left. but the fear, the absolute fear and trauma felt by people here... and this place is an example, this is a volleyball court and this time yesterday morning it was almost deserted. but now, they think as many as 600 people flooded in here overnight because they came out of their high—rise apartment blocks, places where when we felt that quake last night, they ran straight out of because it clearly wasn't an aftershock, it was clearly a strong and powerful new earthquake and we all felt it. and watching people running into the streets and

coming to places like this for safety and security, it is part of their life now. and you just look at people bedding down here, they are stoic, doing their best. the people who i feel the most for at the moment are some of the children who use the dotted around here. you just think what a confusing and frightening few weeks they have had. there was a little boy about ten minutes ago, maybe three years old, and he tripped and fell down some of these really steep steps and you listen to him cry and think, what has he seen, experienced a? his helm is not a safe place any more and thatis is not a safe place any more and that is one little boy among hundreds and thousands of people here, notjust in south—east turkey but in north—west syria, as well. how that generation recover from what they have been through in just two weeks? thank you. women in england who use hormone replacement therapy to ease menopause symptoms will soon be able to access treatment for less than £20 a year. it's through a government scheme where one payment means you can access a year's worth of hrt

prescriptions — potentially saving hundreds of pounds. the change comes into effect on ist of april. we have come leaps and bounds in the last two years with the government putting the menopause as a priority area in the women's health strategy. we weren't talking about the menopause 18 months ago, two years ago. the government is working really hard to make sure that hrt is accessible and we've seen a 50% increase in the last year in the number of women getting hrt, we're reducing the cost from the ist of april to make hrt affordable, and we're also supporting women in the workplace. you know in new york they always go one bigger? idea? you know in new york they always go one bi aer? ., ~' you know in new york they always go one bi aer? ., ~ , you know in new york they always go one bigger?— one bigger? new york is quite a scary place- _ one bigger? new york is quite a scary place- it — one bigger? new york is quite a scary place. it is. _ one bigger? new york is quite a scary place. it is. when - one bigger? new york is quite a scary place. it is. when we - one bigger? new york is quite a scary place. it is. when we go i one bigger? new york is quite a | scary place. it is. when we go to the ark scary place. it is. when we go to the park you _ scary place. it is. when we go to the park you might _ scary place. it is. when we go to the park you might see - scary place. it is. when we go to the park you might see a - scary place. it is. when we go to the park you might see a duck. l scary place. it is. when we go to i the park you might see a duck. go scary place. it is. when we go to - the park you might see a duck. go to the park you might see a duck. go to the park you might see a duck. go to the park in new york and in the lake, they saw this yesterday! a four foot alligator.— four foot alligator. forefoot?! 8-foot! that _

dead his mother maxine. then three—year—old sophie martyn and her father lee. followed by stephen washington, and 66—year—old kate shepherd. jake davison had a known history of violence and mental—health issues. yesterday the inquest jury said there had been a "catastrophic failure" at devon and cornwall police. and the chief constable will kerr said he was "truly sorry" for what had happened. the victims�* families gave their reaction. we now want seismic change and a complete overhaul of the firearms licensing system and legislation in england and wales. the current system and any perceived changes since this attack does not reassure us and it should not reassure the public. so what changes should there be? the independent office for police conduct has now published a series of recommendations to strengthen firearms

licensing controls. they include stronger monitoring of licence—holders, and regular reviews of the officers who approve applications. sadly, this is not the only case in recent years where a gunman who had a licence to own his weapon then used it to kill. kelly fitzgibbons and her daughters ava and lexi were shot dead by kelly's partner in march 2020 at their home in west sussex. kelly's twin sister, emma, is calling for changes to the way gun licences in the uk are processed. kathryn stanczyszyn met her. giggling. ava was just an absolute delight. she was quite timid, a little bit shy. and then lexi came along, who was the opposite — i always say the opposite of ava. just always looked mucky, always had crazy wild — she had our sort of fitzgibbons curly hair. kelly was just... oh, just so lovely!

she had the biggest heart, the most infectious laugh. you know, we were pretty much inseparable growing up. and even as adults and as aunts to each other�*s children, we continue to have a really, really special and close relationship. in march 2020, emma ambler received tragic news of unimaginable loss. and i called her and i messaged her and i didn't hear anything back. and this went on for sort of several hours. i was pulling my hair out by this time and i called my aunt and eventually my aunt did go round with her partner, ron, and couldn't raise them. so ron got a ladder and the bedroom window was slightly open. so ron climbed up through the bedroom window and into the bedroom and found them all dead in...in the bedroom. her identical twin sister, kelly fitzgibbons and two nieces — ava and lexi — had been shot dead

by kelly's partner of 14 years, rob needham. he then killed himself. it happened after a saturday night takeaway. there was no history of abuse. the shock was enormous. the trauma of losing kelly, of losing the girls, of not having them as part of your life... ..is difficult enough. but knowing how they've died and what they went through and how they... you know, the girls were two and four and how their short lives have just been ended at the hands of their father. rob had a valid gun licence. in the aftermath, though, it was revealed he'd lied on his application about episodes of mental ill health, drug use, and a previous minor conviction. some of those lies had been discovered at the time the licence was granted, which emma says should have brought up concerns. on his medical records, it said, you know, he'd confessed to drinking heavily and taking cocaine, and yet this information wasn't shared.

and alarm bells do ring, and they should ring about somebody that can't tell the truth on an application process, who has a history of mental—health episodes. surely those two things combined shouldn't make you worthy of holding — or safe to have a gun licence. despite an inquest finding that no further action was needed over the way police handled rob's application, it did reveal gaps in the process and, for emma, it raised much deeper issues around gun licensing. the frequency of reviews — they're only every five years, they should be annually. they need to increase the costs and the gun licensee needs to cover that. i think they need to not give gun licences to people that lie, and i think they shouldn't give gun licences to people that have reoccurring mental health or depressive episodes. the home office says the uk has some of the strictest controls in the world and that, in the wake of recent cases, police forces have been asked to make sure they are following the rules properly.

but emma, who set up a foundation in her sister's name, says that's not enough. since my sister's case, there's been the plymouth incident, there's been the tragic shootings of the head teacher, so... and even just one killing is one too many. i've been in contact with the police minister and the home office and they've agreed to meet with me in the spring. but i want... i am going to ask them to bring that forward because, you know, i don't know what we're waiting for, and we need to get some action now. what we've lost in those two girls and kelly... yeah, it's so hard to put into words, but they were just. . . precious. yeah. that was kathryn stanczyszyn reporting. we're grateful to emma for sharing her story with us. let's turn to the plymouth shootings and the inquest yesterday. luke pollard is the labour mp

if there were failings as a cute and as severe as we have seen in our example in plymouth, they could be other failings out there and that's why i want to see not only a top to bottom review of our outdated gun laws, but also an urgent review of the licences that have already been issued based on the feedback from this issue because i'm afraid gun violence happens in our country, fortunately not as common in america, but the shooting in plymouth left five people dead and a hole in our community so we want to make sure that no one go through what we did. do make sure that no one go through what we did-— what we did. do you think it is ossible what we did. do you think it is possible for — what we did. do you think it is possible for the _ what we did. do you think it is possible for the same - what we did. do you think it is possible for the same thing i what we did. do you think it is l possible for the same thing that happened in plymouth to happen again somewhere in the uk? i fear happened in plymouth to happen again somewhere in the uk?— somewhere in the uk? i fear it might be because not _ somewhere in the uk? i fear it might be because not only _ somewhere in the uk? i fear it might be because not only are _ somewhere in the uk? i fear it might be because not only are we _ somewhere in the uk? i fear it might be because not only are we not i be because not only are we not learning the lessons immediately of some of the mistakes the police have made, i want to see the government adopt effectively the recommendations from the inquest to roll out notjust in devon and cornwall police, but across the

other 35 odd police forces in england. we also need to be challenging the other factors that may have contributed to what happened in plymouth, such as the rise of that toxic masculinity, the incel culture online, as well as people being able to keep a pump action shotgun in their home, which was the weapon used in plymouth. i still cannot believe that in the zist still cannot believe that in the 21st century there is any excuse for anyone to keep a pump action shotgun in their home and be able to travel around the streets with it as they move between locations. i don't think that is right. lessons do need to be learned and i'm afraid we are going to need to see big reform that comes from this. it will be difficult, it will be hard, but ultimately those reforms will save lives and prevent another tragedy like plymouth ever happening again. the home office say they have made changes after plymouth. thea;r the home office say they have made changes after plymouth.— changes after plymouth. they have, the have changes after plymouth. they have, they have made _ changes after plymouth. they have, they have made some _ changes after plymouth. they have, they have made some changes i changes after plymouth. they have, they have made some changes and l they have made some changes and those changes are welcome. some are quite technical, such as linking medical records with a gun certificate so if you go to your gp

with a mental health concern, they will be able to see on your patient record whether you hold a firearms certificate. that is a really welcome change, something i have been pushing for, and that follows the same precedent as going to see a doctor if you are a hgv driver and you have a heart condition. these measures put in place for public safety. they are welcome but only part of the solution. while we still have outdated gun laws, while we have outdated gun laws, while we have a licensing system that seems to have so many holes in, that is underfunded with [ease forces across the country being under severe pressure, there are still really big changes still required if we are to save lives. knowing what we now know after the inquest.— after the inquest. let's talk about auoin to after the inquest. let's talk about going to the _ after the inquest. let's talk about going to the gp- _ after the inquest. let's talk about going to the gp. we _ after the inquest. let's talk about going to the gp. we know- after the inquest. let's talk about going to the gp. we know that i after the inquest. let's talk about | going to the gp. we know that the plymouth gunmen, jake davison, had a history of mental health problems. when police went to his gp and asked him for some sort of assessment when he applied to have a gun licence, the doctor didn't give an assessment because he didn't have to do, it

wasn't mandatory.— because he didn't have to do, it wasn't mandatory. that's right. this is where the — wasn't mandatory. that's right. this is where the system _ wasn't mandatory. that's right. this is where the system falls _ wasn't mandatory. that's right. this is where the system falls apart. i wasn't mandatory. that's right. this is where the system falls apart. our gps in plymouth, just as gps across the country, are under incredible pressure at the moment. there is a real crisis in primary care. so the idea they will have the resources and time to provide a proper assessment on someone's suitability for a gun licence i think is challenging, especially when the systems that the police and gps use are not yetjoined up properly. it sounds quite technical, that change thatis sounds quite technical, that change that is needed, to look again, make sure we have enough referees, to make sure the checks are robust and more frequent than at the moment, but without those, you run the risk of someone having a gun because a gun certificate enables you to have a gun, and a person in a mental health crisis is more likely we know to use that weapon on themselves rather than someone else. so it is important the steps are taken, no matter how nerdy and technical they sound, it will save lives.—

sound, it will save lives. there are re orts sound, it will save lives. there are reports that _ sound, it will save lives. there are reports that jake _ sound, it will save lives. there are reports that jake davison - sound, it will save lives. there are reports that jake davison had i sound, it will save lives. there are i reports that jake davison had autism reports that jake davison had autism and asperger�*s. we need to be careful people are not stigmatised as a result of this.— as a result of this. that's right. the catalogue _ as a result of this. that's right. the catalogue of _ as a result of this. that's right. the catalogue of errors - as a result of this. that's right. the catalogue of errors that i as a result of this. that's right. | the catalogue of errors that has happened in plymouth pointed to a number of different problems and i don't think there is any one issue that could have in itself stop the tragedy, so solving what each and every one of them is now a challenge for our entire community. we know the failings that happened at devon and cornwall police. they say they have corrected some of those errors in new systems and that is probably welcome but i think the public confidence in the ability of the police to authorise gun certificates has been shaken hugely. my confidence in our local police force has been shaken. and to prove to the public that the police are doing robust checks, that gun certificates are being issued correctly and properly, i think we need to have a comprehensive top to bottom review of our gun laws and the processes to make sure that notjust devon and

cornwall police are getting it right, but every single one of the other police forces, because every police force will do it slightly differently, will have slightly differently, will have slightly different focuses on different resourcing levels, and when there is such a postcode lottery to how comprehensive and robust a gun certificate issuing will be, i think thatis certificate issuing will be, i think that is a real problem. we now know these problems, we know the issues from the inquests and from the other examples you have spoken about on your show today, the challenges for politicians like me to the governance, what are you going to do about it? for me, that means a robust review of our gun laws, it means a top to bottom review, and it means a top to bottom review, and it means taking serious questions about should pump action weapon be on our streets, should we have more regular reviews, so someone applying for a gun licence pay the full costs of the inspection of their suitability can be as detailed and robust as it needs to be so the public can have confidence that it is only those people who should have access to a firearm who actually do? that people who should have access to a firearm who actually do?— people who should have access to a firearm who actually do? that is the olitician firearm who actually do? that is the politician talking _ firearm who actually do? that is the politician talking about _ firearm who actually do? that is the politician talking about the - politician talking about the procedures and the law and the politics. bring it back to those

families, those families in plymouth, that community in plymouth which i know is still struggling to come to terms with what happened. how are people there dealing with it now? it how are people there dealing with it now? . . . how are people there dealing with it now? . , , ., ., , how are people there dealing with it now? ., g now? it has been a really difficult coule of now? it has been a really difficult couple of years — now? it has been a really difficult couple of years since _ now? it has been a really difficult couple of years since the - now? it has been a really difficult couple of years since the tragedy| couple of years since the tragedy took place. and the inquest put into the public domain, details of the tragedy that we have have been privy to. the details of people who rush to. the details of people who rush to the scene but also the details of the failings leading up to that point. that has been enormously difficult because it means that people are reliving these events. there are still people in the community who are genuinely scared to let their children play out at night, a realfear of a helicopter going over due to the amount of police helicopters over plymouth at the time of the shooting, the ambulances landing in our community will stop that brings back painful memories. help is still available for people who are struggling, and if we're honest about it, that help need to be in place for many years

to come because a tragedy like this won't be easily forgotten about. it will last for generations in our consciousness. but for the families of the victims, and indeed the survivors who were shot and lived through it, as well as all the witnesses, so many of them children, as well, who sought stuff that no child should ever see, i'm afraid we are going to need to make sure the support is there for a long time, that commitments given to support plymouth i delivered against and this is a very long—term challenge for people. the help and support people have offered our community is incredibly welcome, but the wounds that have been opened by the tragedy will take a very, very long time to heal. ~ ., ., ., heal. we have to leave it there. luke pollard, _ heal. we have to leave it there. luke pollard, mp, _ heal. we have to leave it there. luke pollard, mp, thank- heal. we have to leave it there. luke pollard, mp, thank you i heal. we have to leave it there. j luke pollard, mp, thank you for joining us. luke pollard, mp, thank you for joining us— breakfast is on bbc one until a 9:15, when morning live takes over. sam and gethin can tell us what they have planned. good morning. we certainly can. good morninu. coming up on morning live...

be finished in 2024. a law that came into force nearly 800 years ago could stand in the way of plans to move the city of london wholesale markets to dagenham. smithfield market, the city's meat market, was built back in the 1860s. it's meant to be moving alongside billingsgate and new spitalfields but the royal charter bans a market from being set up within a day's sheep drive, 6.66 miles from romford. the move now needs parliamentary approval. a young boy from redbridge has turned his dream of having a book published into reality. henry dreampt up lark the shark during lockdown — a loveable, friendly shark on a quest to rid the ocean of litter — and much to his surprise, a publisher loved it. we googled publishers and we sent it to the first one we saw and we went on holiday and came back to a contract. we were very lucky. it was all a whirlwind and they said, "we loved your book and we think that it's

going to be amazing." and you can hear more from henry and his mum in ourteatime programme tonight at 6.30pm. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's just minor delays on the bakerloo and jubilee lines. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another largely cloudy start this morning, the cloud today less willing to break up compared to yesterday. it will however remain largely dry and still we are hanging onto that relatively mild air. our next front you can see waiting in the wings doesn't move in until overnight tonight, so for now, it is looking largely dry. like i say, we've still got a few brighter spells this afternoon, maybe some glimpses of sunshine, the wind remains light. temperatures still reaching a mild 13 celsius. it stays cloudy into this evening, overnight we will see some showers through the early hours coming up from the south, further outbreaks of rain into wednesday morning. minimum temperature, four celsius. so, that front will gradually move eastwards. it does linger through the day,

further outbreaks of rain, but behind it we will start to see some cool air moving in. we see the mild air moving away eastwards. so for thursday, we still could see some showers. some brighter spells as well, the temperatures a little fresher as we develop a northerly breeze. before i go, there'sjust enough time to let you know that the bbc radio london make a difference awards are back. it's your chance to help us recognise and celebrate the everyday heroes who are going above and beyond in your local community. you can nominate someone by going to... that's it from me. there's plenty more on our website and don't forget to follow us on social media for the latest news. i'm back at nine. have a lovely morning. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay.

problem gambling is something we've discussed a lot on breakfast and in the next few weeks the government's expected to announce how it will reform betting laws. it'll be the first significant change to legislation for 18 years and much has changed in the industry over that time. our culture and media editor katie razzall has this report. and it's in! the beautiful game and gambling. it's in the stadiums. it's on the shirts. 0nline betting is now embedded in british culture. instant access to a casino thanks to the smartphone. fun or exploitation? it depends who you are. out of interest, have any of you gambled before? just put your hand up if you've gambled or if you gamble. james grimes has questions for students at the ua92 in manchester, the university set up by former footballer gary neville. james hasn't put a bet on for almost five years, but when he did, he tells them, it got out of hand.

i had 20 payday loans, i owed every single person i knew money. i had the bailiffs coming round. james has invited us in for this workshop, an insight into what the students think about gambling. they literally put it on shirts and it's influencing the younger generation to think it's normal, and that's where they all get into it. your bet's winning, you can cash out and you can... i it doesn't mean you lose i as much money as if you let it go to full time. one of the statistics i heard was that the companies make most of their money from people who lose and people who are addicted. it feels like just a bit of fun. it's not really, is it? james tells me when he was gambling, he was on the minimum wage but treated like a celebrity. i was losing thousands of pounds with a gambling company and they gave me a vip box at a premier league football match. they gave me tickets to the horse racing, there would be £100 free bet in my account every week. i still get emails now, and i haven't gambled in nearly five years, and i still get emails from gambling

companies saying, "come back in. here's 100 free spins." this is about preventing the harm and preventing the exploitation of people like me who should have been asked questions about my affordability, who shouldn't have been sent free bets. it's 18 years since the last big change in gambling law. there were no smartphones back then, and many agree the law needs to catch up. there'll be an announcement soon and there's been intense lobbying on all sides. reformers are hopeful the industry will now be forced to pay a percentage of what they make, a so—called statutory levy to fund education, treatment and research. reformers also want new affordability checks to make sure gamblers can afford to lose what they spend. the levels will probably be decided after a consultation. and the government is looking at tightening controls on advertising and marketing around sport. and when it comes to football sponsorship, it looks

like the government isn't planning to ban the gambling firms. instead, all premier league clubs will voluntarily agree to take the company names off the front of football shirts. that won't go far enough for some campaigners who want them out of the stadiums completely. when it gets to the weekend, he gambles. case management between health workers at the nhs northern gambling clinic in leeds. once he's finished his current therapy... three in ten people they now see here are women. estimates vary wildly, but hundreds of thousands of people across the uk are known to be problem gamblers. typically our service users are gambling from the moment they wake up in the morning in their bed, they take their phone into the bathroom with them, they take it in the car when they're even driving to work or on public transport, they're gambling at work. the wide availability of the products, the instant nature of it, the way the industry is advertising and marketing to people creates a significant public health crisis and that's what we have. the adverts show the more sociable, celebrity—endorsed side of gambling, and the betting and gaming council,

which declined an interview, says most of the more than 22 million people who have a bet each month do so safely and responsibly. that was on the plane as we went on our last holiday. it was only afterjohn myers' son ryan took his own life that the family discovered he had a gambling addiction. ryan had even emailed the gambling company a few months before, after waking up to find he'd emptied his bank account. "i know i don't deserve it," he said, "but i was wondering if you could find it in your heart to maybe somehow refund some of what i deposited last night and then ban me." you get emotional thinking of what he was going through and how he must have felt at that time. you know what i mean? he'd lost all his money. well, the adverts need curbing. i'd like to see the government bring out adverts like they did with cigarettes and alcohol and show the downside of it. show the families getting taken out of the house because they've lost their houses.

show them getting taken to court because they've stolen money to gamble. let's face it, show the funerals. john hopes whatever the government proposes in the white paper, it will protect future ryans from gambling harm. row, row, row your boat! katie razzall, bbc news. our culture and media editor katie razzalljoins us now. good razzall joins us now. good razzalljoins us now. morning, thank you so much talking good morning, thank you so much of talking to us and explaining a little bit more about what might happen next. what are we expecting? we have heard that this white paper is imminent before because it has been delayed many times as prime ministers and culture secretary is have been moved on, most recently borisjohnson but have been moved on, most recently boris johnson but we expect have been moved on, most recently borisjohnson but we expect it have been moved on, most recently boris johnson but we expect it will be published in the next few weeks. there is a report on football governance which will come out first and then once that is out of the way, the department for culture, media and sport will miss it ——

energy bills are set to rise again in april but new analysis this morning suggests the cost of energy could fall this summer. ben's having a look at this for us this morning. good morning, lots of different numbers to get your head around, let me try and talk you through what it means for you. higher energy bills have been with us for sometime now and they are likely to stay high for a while yet. in april the government guarantee on the annual gas and electricity bill for an average home increases from £2,500 to £3,000. remember, it caps the cost per unit of energy used, not the overall bill. if you use more than average then you'll pay more than that. at the same time, the government's discount scheme to all households will end. losing that £400 discount plus the £500 increase in the price guarantee means effectively a typical household will spend an extra £900 a year on energy from april, although there will still be some targeted support for the poorest and most vulnerable families.

you may remember that until last year we used to talk about the energy regulator 0fgem setting the price cap in england, scotland and wales. but the government stepped in when 0fgem's price cap went up to a level that was unaffordable for many. new analysis from cornwall insight, the energy specialists, predicts that without that government scheme the 0fgem cap would mean household energy bills going up to an average of nearly £3,300. the government guarantee means they won't go as high as that but we're still looking at a jump of 20%. but there is some better news from the energy analysts. they are predicting the 0fgem price cap could fall injuly, below the government guarantee. that's due to falling wholesale prices for gas. but before households feel any possible benefit from that fall, millions are facing another big increase in their bill this april. and that's at a time when many are already struggling with the rising cost of living. and if you have any concerns

about paying or affording your bills remember there's lots of help and advice available on the bbc news website, just search for cost of living in your browser. that is it for the moment, sally and jon. that is it for the moment, sally and jon. . ~' , ., , that is it for the moment, sally and jon. ., ~' , ., , . here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. hello, good morning. we are not going to expect guys like this today, this was yesterday, east anglia got up to 17 degrees. that is about 9 degrees above average for the time of year. more of that water today, the changing weather front sweeping through and bringing some rain for a sweeping through and bringing some rainfora time, sweeping through and bringing some rain for a time, the blue colours indicating cooler airfor rain for a time, the blue colours indicating cooler air for the second half of the week. it will not be that chilly, temperatures six to 9 degrees. it will feel a little bit

more like february. back to today, the skies will be a bit more like this, lots of ploughed around, i'll stay but there will be sunshine here and there particularly —— lots of sunshine around, a milder day. some drier and brighter moments in scotland with the rain, the breeze not as strong as yesterday. cloud elsewhere could produce some drizzle but many will be dry. when from the south—west so temperatures will be on the high side, peaking at 14 and 15 degrees. well above the late february average. we start tonight mild but change is afoot, northern ireland, rain this evening developing across scotland, and rain erratically developing through england and wales. highly variable, it has been a very dry so far. temperatures down on recent nights,
