8 o'clock last night while the officer coached young people playing football. our ireland correspondent, emma vardy reports. the shooting happened in front of young players, training at a football coaching session. it's thought the off—duty officer was shot multiple times at around 8 o'clock in the evening. local political leaders have condemned the attack, calling it despicable and cowardly. i'm totally devastated and in shock and without words as to why or how this has happened in omagh or any part of our community on this island. there are no words for the details that i'm hearing. the impact it has already had and will have when other details emerge. the officer is known to be a senior detective, but police haven't said anything official about a potential motive for the shooting. he's being treated at altnagelvin hospital in londonderry. irish police have increased patrols in neighbouring counties after reports the gunman may have fled across the border after the attack. there's continued to be a security threat against police officers in northern ireland since the end

of the troubles 25 years ago. but attacks are now much rarer. the secretary of state for northern ireland, chris heaton—harris, said his immediate thoughts were with the officer and his family. emma vardy, bbc news. a tv reporter and a nine—year—old girl have been shot dead near orlando, florida, close to the scene of another murder that took place hours earlier. a second reporter and the girl's mother were also shot and injured. 19—year—old keith moses has been arrested but police say the motive for the attacks is unclear. a new, independent regulator of men's football in england is to be established for the first time. it will aim to give fans more involvement, make clubs more financially sustainable and ensure money from the premier league filters down to lower divisions. our sports editor, dan roan, reports. # bury till i die...#

bury�*s expulsion from the football league in 2019 left a community in shock. its collapse amid financial crisis, a stain on the english game. three and a half years on, bury afc, a team set up by fans to give them something to support, competes here in the northwest counties league, the ninth tier of the english game at a ground they have to rent. and the government says the mismanagement that led to the club's downfall shows why the sport now needs an independent regulator. bury has become the poster boy of footballing failure in some respects, and we're all tired of it. we want to move on, but we also want to make sure that other clubs don't suffer the same fate. look around. everybody in this ground today has suffered from what happened in the past. we think an independent regulator is particularly crucial because it's the only thing that's really got teeth. as recommended by a fan—led review, the regulator will issue new annual licences to clubs that depend on a sound business plan take over a strengthened owners and directors

test to guard against unscrupulous owners and give supporters a greater say in the running of clubs. as outlined in a white paper, the regulator will also have powers to block clubs from joining breakaway competitions, like the european super league. for many, the plight of bury shows exactly why english football is now in need of a major overhaul. but they're far from the only club that have suffered a financial crisis in recent years. derby county were on the brink of liquidation last year — one of 64 clubs put into administration since 1992. and with the football league calling for a greater share of the premier league's wealth, the government has warned the regulator could intervene to bring about a new financial settlement. there is much that football could already be doing to protect the game. this includes reaching a much—needed agreement on a new package of financial redistribution for the football pyramid. and i again urge them to solve this issue. the premier league said it already provides half a billion pounds a year to the wider game

and recognise the case for change. commentator: casimiro! but at a time when manchester united is for sale, it added it was vital that regulation does not deter investment or have unintended consequences. i think we all would have hoped that football itself could have solved some of the conundrums that we're facing and some of the difficulties that we've had, but clearly we haven't. so, in some ways, we've only got ourselves to blame. the premier league has established itself as the richest and most popular club competition in the world. the government says it wants that to continue, but insists historic change is now needed for the good of the wider game. dan roan, bbc news. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, will pledge to make the uk the highest growing economy in the g7 if his party wins the next general election. the commitment is one of five so called "national missions" that will he will formally announce in a speech in manchester this morning.

we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. these are bold statements and five key pillars. tell these are bold statements and five key pillars. tell us these are bold statements and five key pillars. tell us a these are bold statements and five key pillars. tell us a bit these are bold statements and five key pillars. tell us a bit more. these are bold statements and five key pillars. tell us a bit more. the big ideas by labour to take into the next general election. at the start of the year we had five promises by rishi sunak. this is labour's answer to that. lots of poll suggests there is a good chance that labour is in power. i can tell you what they are. the economy, to have the highest sustained growth in the g7 group of advanced nations. making britain an energy superpower, building an nhs for the future, making the streets safe and breaking down barriers to opportunity, which is about childcare and education. they are all big principled ideas. the big question keir starmer will face is, how will he do it? everybody talks

about growing the economy and politics. what is the answer? what is the specific stuff you are going to do as prime minister to make it happen? we are going to hear a lot about these ideas over the next 18 months also, that is when we think the general election is probably going to be. the view in the labour party, these other things that people care about and if they can come up with decent plans and tangible promises they have a good chance of power. hello to people hearing those things will say, i have heard about pledges of would—be leaders, the nhs, the economy and fairness many times before. the buzzwords in politics. nobody will pretend it is the first time we have heard from them. we will also hear keir starmer later on the sofa talking about not coming up with short—term plans. this will take a

few years, it is a decade of renewal. that is a phrase that has been bandied about in the labour party a lot. a lot of people will say we have heard all of this before, is itjust a bunch of stories? before, is it “ust a bunch of stories? ~ before, is it “ust a bunch of stories?— before, is it “ust a bunch of stories? ~ , ., ~ ., stories? we will be talking to keir starmer at half _ stories? we will be talking to keir starmer at half past _ stories? we will be talking to keir starmer at half past seven. - the cases of 12,000 asylum seekers are to be fast—tracked by the home office — to try to fulfil rishi sunak�*s pledge to reduce the backlog of applications by the end of the year. migrants from afghanistan, eritrea, libya, syria and yemen will have their claims decided on the basis of a ten—page questionnaire, which must be completed in english within 20 days. tesco and aldi have become the latest big retailers to introduce limits on how much fruit and veg customers can buy. asda and morrisons had already put restrictions in place, hannah is here to explain why. people will know it from seeing it in a supermarket.— people will know it from seeing it in a supermarket. what is going on?

because a brexit? the british retail consortium says, no it is not. if we are being worse affected than other european countries they say it is likely because of the way our supermarkets and supply chains operate. there are still vegetables arriving here in the uk but at a higher premium price. nobody wants to be paying even more given the cost of living pressures we report on all the time. hat cost of living pressures we report on all the time.— cost of living pressures we report on all the time. not many people are bu in: on all the time. not many people are buying more — on all the time. not many people are buying more than _ on all the time. not many people are buying more than three _ on all the time. not many people are buying more than three packets - on all the time. not many people are buying more than three packets of i buying more than three packets of tomatoes at once. it is to stop people stockpiling we saw a couple of years ago. people stockpiling we saw a couple of years age-— of years ago. when is the last time ou of years ago. when is the last time you brought _ of years ago. when is the last time you brought more _ of years ago. when is the last time you brought more than _ of years ago. when is the last time you brought more than three - of years ago. when is the last time l you brought more than three packets of tomatoes? abs, you brought more than three packets of tomatoes?— an extensive archive of david bowie's life, work and legacy will go on display to the public for the first time in 2025. the display at the victoria and albert museum in london will include more than 80,000 items from six decades of his career —

including costumes, handwritten lyrics and instruments. tim muffett reports. # it's a god awful small affair. # to the girl with the mousy hair.# he was so much more thanjust a singer. # and her daddy has told her to go.# david bowie, an icon of self—expression, creativity and reinvention. # now she walks through her sunken dream.# his extraordinary archive is to be brought together permanently for everyone to see. this archive will be protected in one place, so you can really see bowie as artist, performer, musician, fashion stylist. everything. # this is ground control to major tom... from 2025, more than 80,000 items spanning six decades will form the david bowie archive, housed at a new david bowie centre

for the study of performing arts in the queen elizabeth olympic park in east london. # now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.# there-s— some remarkable objects. many, many, many costumes from the ziggy stardust to the aladdin sane. there are handwritten lyrics and notebooks, incredible documents that reveal the creative process behind songwriting, behind music videos, behind film—making. it shows innovation, as bowie did, in all art forms. ten years ago, a v&a exhibition brought together hundreds of bowie costumes and pieces of memorabilia. but that was temporary. this will be a permanent collection. it's a privilege, but it will be a privilege for everyone. it will be there for visitors to enjoy for generations to come. he left us in 2016, but the influence of david bowie can still be seen and heard. # we could be heroes.#

tim muffett, bbc news. that looks well worth a visit. i am tempted to say from one style icon to another. that would be ludicrous, just absurd. let's not say that. i think you look great! thank you very much. so wejust think you look great! thank you very much. so we just get on with the weather? a bit of a contrast across the country. chilly conditions in parts of scotland and northern ireland with a touch of frost around. notice some green on the map, england and wales not quite as chilly. we had plenty of cloud around there. a bit of sleet and snow on the tops of hills, but it is

primarily rain. all that with the cloud will become more and more confined to the seven counties. scotland and northern ireland, a frosty start and sunshine. it will cloud over and we will see outbreaks of rain later. temperatures where they should be, around seven, 8 degrees for the vast majority. it will feel colder than that in the north of scotland later. persistent rain here to finish their day out. the rain will ease a little bit as it works its way south tonight. clearing away through a good part of scotland by dawn tomorrow into parts of northern england. temperatures will dip later in the night across scotland. furthersouth will dip later in the night across scotland. further south initial dip with temperatures lifting. as for friday a lot of cloudless showers around. looking drier as we go through the weekend. thank you. see you later. it's 6:15am.

when the homes for ukraine scheme launched last year, a jewish family from london saw a plea for help from a ukrainian woman and her two sons, and decided to welcome them into their home. initially, they thought they were offering support to strangers but have since discovered that the link between their families goes back generations and they have far more in common than they'd first realised. daniela relph reports. what shall i do? i'm going to do pasta and bolognese. they are moments of serendipity. i'll put the oven on. amazing coincidences amidst the mundane chores of everyday life. for almost a year, anya and her two sons, alex and mark, have lived with shelley bascand and herfamily in north london. i've run out of small dishes. 0h, here, here. it's here. anya fled her home in ukraine last march. her husband, denis, stayed, as his wife and sons left their comfortable life behind. anya was frightened and desperate, sleeping with her boys on the floor

of a school in poland, hoping for refuge in the uk. anya and shelley met through facebook. shelley was looking to help a ukrainian family. they connected immediately. we just wanted to help because we felt that as jewish people, we've kind of been in a position where we needed help. i felt comfortable when we began, spoke the first time. i don't know how it's feel. as a people, as a country. and i certainly didn't know me, my family... it's unbelievable stories. but it became more unbelievable. as everyone got to know each other better and explored life in london together, anya told shelley about her grandfather, nikolai. during the second world war, he took injewish families, hid them from the nazis, saved their lives. years later, anya's grandfather was awarded a medal by the israeli government

for his courage — honoring him as righteous among the nations. when she told shelley about him, something clicked. when i got the photo of the medal, i looked at it and i thought, "i know this. that's so weird. i've seen this before. it's the medal from that my grandfather produces — produced when he was alive." neither woman could quite believe it, but archive records showed shelley's grandfather, moshe hecht, had made the exact medal awarded to anya's grandfather. when my grandfather was alive, he had a factory for metalwork in israel, so he produced medals for people who the israeli government gave medals to. and anya's grandfather, was one of those. it's unbelievable. and when i told my mum and my father, it's "no." it's maybe another one. yeah, but it's true.

it's got, like, writing. and it says "everybody who helps one soul, it's as if they helped the whole world." it was really emotional. it was really, like, special. so yeah, it was just kind of made our story a bit special, but it was still good, whatever, but it was just nice. it was such a... like a circle. anya has recently moved into her own flat nearby, but there are still shared meal times with shelley's family. theirs was a chance encounter. war, fear and kindness brought them together. they now have a deep—rooted bond. and do you think this will be a life—long friendship for you both? yeah. you're stuck with each other now. yeah, yeah. we're, like, family now. daniela relf, bbc news, north london.

let's take a look at today's papers. �*seize her salad' is the metro's headline after they report that a shopper was barred from buying 100 cucumbers in lidl amid the current fruit and veg shortage hitting the shelves. you have got to eat them fast before they go off, haven't you? the daily mirror leads with what it refers to as �*unseen pictures' of princess diana holding a baby william back in 1982. the times front page features a story about chorebots — robots that do the housework! experts from oxford university predict that almost 40% of the time we spend cleaning our homes could be saved within the next ten years by using technology. 0h, oh, my goodness! would be great. and one of the most read articles on the bbc news website is how a large

mysterious metal sphere washed up onto the shores ofjapan. authorities can't say for definite what it is yet but an investigation is underway. anything you have found inside the papers? ringing you to date on the starsky and hutch story. they are talking about bringing back starsky and hutch but it is with two female leads. this was knocking around last week. now david sole, one of the originals, has stepped in saying, if there going to redo it, why not have there going to redo it, why not have the original actors doing it? why not get me and pull michael glazier just to do it again? if you have not heard anything about it, the reboot is they would be distant relatives of the original starsky and hutch, both female in a different city. fox

entertainment spoke to the hollywood reporter saying, entertainment spoke to the hollywood reportersaying, if entertainment spoke to the hollywood reporter saying, if this would excite you, then you female detectives would solve crimes in desert city while staying true to their friendship and their awesomeness. there are a few quotes i cannot read out. david sole is envisaging a situation where starsky and hutch are living in a kind of a care home scenario and carrying out... he is very funny, quite explicit in what he says about how the scenario might work out. i am keen to see the awesomeness combined with the care home. let's see how it pans out. you are a dad, not a lot to look at here. mothers and fathers spending 72 hours giving list children a month, 2a hours a year.

many of them are on school trips. 510 miles a year were given to drop children at parties and more than 1000 to ferry them around for weekend activities. this is one of those things that when kids get big enough, they can make their own way. bold. we'll see if that works in practice. something tells me not. if you live in a major city, it's often hard to see the stars at night because of the light pollution but that's not the case for visitors to bardsey island in north wales. it's just been made the first international dark sky sanctuary in europe. the island had to meet strict criteria in terms of the quality of its night sky and light policy, as nia cerys reports. as the sun goes down and clear sky comes to life, and the international dark sky association agreed

that it's something pretty special. this is the first dark sky sanctuary in europe. there are only 16 others worldwide and they all have to meet strict criteria. any outside lights have to point downwards with an orange glow rather than white or blue. this application has been years in the making and the efforts are ongoing. light pollution is skyrocketing, according to scientists. in the last 12 years, the night sky has brightened by 10% each year, enli is around two miles across from the llyn peninsula here.

and that's one reason why it is so dark there. the mountain on the island stops most of the light from the mainland, and the biggest source of light pollution comes from dublin, which is 70 miles away across the irish sea. there are some dark sky places and parks already, but what's special about this is that it's a sanctuary which is even darker and i think it would be very beneficial for wales if we're renowned for our dark skies because it's a small, remote community. it's good that the eyes of everybody in wales and the world will be on ynys enli. essentially, evidence suggests there were people living on the island, also known as bardsey, as far back as the 6th century. what they saw at night is probably still quite similar to what we see today. the aim of the sanctuary status is to protect that for future generations. only a few people live on enli now and visitors are only allowed between march and october. it's hoped that this new status will help protect as well

as enhance the island. we've got a long term vision and commitment to having a thriving community and economy on enli that is respectful and protects the uniqueness of what enli has in terms of our natural environment, economic heritage, spiritual heritage and the dark sky really kind of brings all of that together. enli is certainly unique, and the aim is to celebrate its dark skies and special qualities for years to come. i have been in norfolk for a few daysin i have been in norfolk for a few days in half term. it is so striking when you look up at the stars outside of the city. i have never been up that maple stargazing. good morning from bbc london, with me, alison earle. the mayor is urging the prime

minister to back the expansion of the ultra low emission zone, by giving him money to double the size of the scrappage scheme. in a letter to rishi sunak, sadiq khan calls for more funding to help people in the home counties to replace older or more polluting vehicles. it comes as critics say plans to extend ulez to all of london in august will hit drivers who commute into the capital and those worst off. nurses who worked on the uk's first dedicated ward for patients with hiv and aids have been opening up about their experiences as part of lgbt history month. these pictures were taken 30 years ago by the photographer gideon mendel, who was given special access at broderip ward in middlesex hospital in central london. the team who worked there took a different approach in the hope of ending some of the stigma.

ijust tried to make the ward as open and as welcoming as possible. so, you know, hugging people, making sure that you weren't afraid of them. i think that was the other thing because, i guess, the fear outside was so profound that we had to make it clear that there was nothing to be afraid of. more than 80,000 items belonging to david bowie will go on display for the first time in london's olympic park. his archive has been acquired by the v&a museum for its new site in stratford in 2025. the exhibition will feature handwritten lyrics, instruments, as well as some of his iconic costumes. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking at the moment. there's a good service on all lines this morning. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning.

now onto the weather with kate cloud has been sinking south through the night so we start on an overcast mode and we will see showery outbreaks of rain but dry and brighter later. the cloud this morning producing this showery rain, slowly clearing and through the afternoon, and further naughty will start to see something brighter with some sunshine before the sun sets and temperatures of nine celsius, the wind strengthening and a north easterly flow, so a chilly start to the night under clear skies and the minima temperature dropping to —2, so we are likely to see frost, but the cloud will move into friday morning and that indicates some slightly less cold air. a couple of friends tomorrow, a warm front followed by a cold front and it's between the two where you can see the air is slightly less cold but quickly replaced by something chillier as we head into the weekend. at the weekend it will be breezy and chilly wind as well but we should see largely dry conditions

with a little bit of sunshine. there's lots more on our website and social media including more on that david bowie exhibition and the cheapest way to stay warm in bed. that's it for now, i'll be back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll catch up with author and illustrator charlie mackesy, with the film version of his book �*the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse' nominated for an oscar. the handmade puppets from guillermo del toro's bafta winning film �*pinocchio' are currently on display in manchester. we'll take you there live for a closer look. and itv�*s cold—case crime drama �*unforgotten' is back for a new series, with a new detective. we'll be joined by actor sinead keenan and screenwriter chris lang just before 9.

plans for a radical overhaul of english football, with the aim of putting �*fans back at the heart�* of the game, have been confirmed by the government. as recommended by a fan—led review, clubs will be prevented from joining closed—shop breakaway competitions. a new licensing system will require every club — from the premier league to the national league — to prove it has a sustainable business model. an "enhanced" owners' and directors' test will be introduced — to guard against unscrupulous buyers. and supporters will be given a greater say in the running of clubs. let's speak now to rick parry, chair of the english football league. good morning and thanks for coming in and yours is an important voice in and yours is an important voice in the debate. pare in and yours is an important voice in the debate.— in and yours is an important voice in the debate. are you in favour of the independent _ in the debate. are you in favour of the independent regulator? - in the debate. are you in favour of the independent regulator? yes, i the independent regulator? yes, broadly and _ the independent regulator? yes, broadly and we _ the independent regulator? yes, broadly and we welcome - the independent regulator? 1a: broadly and we welcome the fan the independent regulator? 123 broadly and we welcome the fan led review and this is an important step along the way and we look forward to

legislation. it's been a bit frustrating waiting for the white paper but here it is, and i think it is in line with expectations and our purposeis is in line with expectations and our purpose is making club sustainable from top to bottom, better regulation, more financial redistribution is what is required and, frankly, we think we need external influence to achieve that. football has had opportunities for 30 years are not addressed it properly, so we can hardly complain if government is now acting. what properly, so we can hardly complain if government is now acting. what do ou think if government is now acting. what do you think will — if government is now acting. what do you think will be _ if government is now acting. what do you think will be the _ if government is now acting. what do you think will be the most _ if government is now acting. what do you think will be the most tangible i you think will be the most tangible sign that something is changing under the independent regulator? what would be the most significant input it could have? hat what would be the most significant input it could have?— input it could have? not losing clubs. input it could have? not losing clubs- we _ input it could have? not losing clubs. we don't _ input it could have? not losing clubs. we don't want - input it could have? not losing clubs. we don't want a - input it could have? not losing clubs. we don't want a repeat| input it could have? not losing i clubs. we don't want a repeat of berry and that was the genesis of the review. we don't want clubs falling into administration —— bury. and we don't want a dependence on ownerfunding. the problem is across

the efl, around 400 million of funding is required just to stand still and it's chasing the dream. it's being unrealistic with aspirations. and if we get rid of the requirement for owner funding, again, in the future, may be supporter ownership becomes more realistic, but at the moment it is millions and millions required from ownersjust to stand millions and millions required from owners just to stand still. fundamentally, these are businesses and fans like to believe, or do you believe it's about their community and about their 11 men on the football pitch but they have to make money in order to invest, grow and buy new players and if you put a cap on that and limited in some way, you are stopping that growth, one might argue. are stopping that growth, one might aruue. ., ., ., , argue. you might argue that but the oint is, argue. you might argue that but the point is. having _ argue. you might argue that but the point is, having sustainable - argue. you might argue that but the point is, having sustainable growth l point is, having sustainable growth and not chasing the dream to an unrealistic degree. 0wner funding and not chasing the dream to an unrealistic degree. 0wnerfunding is brilliant until it isn't. if you look at what has happened with derby county, bolton, wigan, ownerfunding

a long time. in terms of the life of a football club, that is nothing. it's a long time in football. the point being, it is matching to the commitments, so if a players contract spans two years, the funding needs to span two years, so all of that is frankly achievable. you can't impose it retrospectively though, can you? if you look at the takeover at newcastle, manchester city, the big premier league clubs where it does have an impact, they will have an unfair advantage because it has been allowed to roll out there. :, because it has been allowed to roll out there. ., ., ., �*, because it has been allowed to roll out there. ., �*, ., out there. there are football's own regulations — out there. there are football's own regulations to _ out there. there are football's own regulations to consider _ out there. there are football's own regulations to consider which - out there. there are football's own regulations to consider which will i regulations to consider which will still operate, so in terms of financialfair still operate, so in terms of financial fair play, still operate, so in terms of financialfair play, which still operate, so in terms of financial fair play, which cascaded from uefa downwards, so the way i see it is through a licensing system the solvency of clubs will be secured and what the leagues will still be able to do is have financial fair play regulations which secure competitive balance, so

their third trophy under serena weigmann. how they would love their next one to be the world cup in australia in the summer. but before their date with destiny, belgium stood in england's way. their red flame was extinguished early. and in for chloe kelly. belgium offered little in attack but were proving stubborn in defence. it was just before half—time with a helping hand from russo when the captain popped up to double england's lead. off the post, leah williamson. after the break, it was much of the same and when ella toone's shot was spilled at the feet of kelly again, there was only one possible outcome. mary earps was caught cold at the end with the best goal of the game but it was a mere consolation for belgium as leah williamson added a flourish for england's six. their unbeaten run now stands at 29 matches with two games left to play

before their summer of reckoning. can england really win a world cup? definitely. we've got it in the bag. a mix of new talent and experience and i'd say we've got— a really good chance. definitely. so like, ten out of ten, we are going to win. some believe england are the best team in the world right now. how the fa would love that to come true in australia. natalie perks, bbc news, bristol. it was a frustrating night for manchester city in the champions league, as they were held to a 1—1 draw, in germany, in the first leg of their last 16 tie, at rb leipzig. city should have been out of sight by half time, their goal, typical of the way they bamboozled the home side, with their passing. riyad mahrez, applying the silky finish. but let off the hook, gvardiol.

now huge relief, for rugby fans, especially those who've planned their weekend, arond the wales v england 6 nations match on saturday afternoon. the match will go ahead, after the welsh players, decided against strike action. the game in cardiff was in doubt after players threatened not to turn up, because of a dispute over their contracts. 0ver100 players from the welsh regions and national side, met with bosses from the welsh rugby union and professional rugby board, and were able to come to an agreement, after compromises were made. everybody in welsh rugby needs to pull together to find the best way to move forward and need to do it collaboratively, together to put welsh rugby back at the top of world rugby are not the laughing stock we are at the moment and i think we can do that with the collaboration agreed. do that with the collaboration aareed. : , do that with the collaboration aureed.�* , ~ do that with the collaboration aureed.: , ~ ., agreed. andy murray said he would like to win matches _ agreed. andy murray said he would like to win matches more _ agreed. andy murray said he would like to win matches more quickly i agreed. andy murray said he would i like to win matches more quickly and he is the great entertainer, the marathon man and he had to defy the oddsin marathon man and he had to defy the odds in qatar to beat the world

and therefore i have commissioned the college of policing, which is the independent national body for policing standards. the 45—year—old's body was pulled from the river wyre in lancashire on sunday. more than three weeks after she was last seen on january the 27th. i think this has been completely unprecedented, the scale of interest. 24/7 in the investigation, which was going through meticulous pieces of evidence and intelligence has obviously meant that the narrative has been lost at times. it has meant that people have generated concerns that they have not been able to get answered as quickly as they would like, and therefore, yes, it probably has had an impact on public confidence. some mps and campaign groups have criticised private information being made public, including her struggles with alcohol and perimenopause. i know how much they agonised over the release of that information, and they have good founded reasons of the right intentions for why they did that,

but i also appreciate that for many people there are real concerns about the intrusion into the privacy of nicola, but also around the particular use of the word menopause, and that many people felt that was sexist in its nature. it comes as the independent office for police conduct has confirmed it has launched an investigation into a police visit to the mother of two's home weeks before her disappearance. i will be transparent in my role of being the public voice of policing in lancashire to make sure i hold the constabulary to account for anything that needs to be learned, and also to make sure that we communicate where the review may find things that the constabulary did well. at the end of the day, the lead hypothesis all along has proven, sadly, to be correct. an inquest into nicola bulley�*s death was opened and adjourned. preston coroner's court has heard she was identified by her dental records. a full hearing will take place injune. yunus mulla, bbc news

here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we have been talking dark skies today, but how about this for a view? not only do you have the milky way, we have also got the beautiful sight of the aurora on the north—east coast of scotland last night captured by our weather watcher although he did say it was pretty cold out there and that's because those clear skies have let the temperatures drop and you can see the satellite images where the clear skies have been through the night and the cloud approach in northern scotland and lots of cloud across england and wales still but temperature is not as low this morning but here we have outbreaks of rain and the wettest to start your day south—east wales across parts of england and factoring some drizzle elsewhere and you will notice the rain and drizzle are confined to southernmost counties so for many, brightening up. a

different story for scotland and northern ireland and after a frosty start, the cloud increases and in the far and we see outbreaks of rain become extensive and the winds become extensive and the winds become strong and gusty and we could see winds up to 40 or 50 miles an hour. lighterwinds see winds up to 40 or 50 miles an hour. lighter winds further south so even though we will see temperatures around eight or 9 degrees, the sunshine is starting to gain some strength overhead. through the evening and overnight, the rain in scotland will gradually push south, petering out as it goes, so we could see rain screaming eastern coastal counties and where we have the cloud, temperatures will hold up, and later on clearer skies in northern scotland and the initial drop through the south becomes confined to southern counties with frost by the morning but here we go for friday. high—pressure further west and allows the weather front to work southwards, and generally speaking about more cloud around tomorrow and there will be sunny spells and in northern england as well in early sunshine in the south gives way to cloud in some outbreaks

of rain but nothing substantial and then a few showers pushing in on a keen breeze down the eastern coast of scotland and england and that will make it feel cooler than the temperatures suggest, but by and large, temperatures up a degree on today's values. 0nce large, temperatures up a degree on today's values. once the weather front gets way through friday night, high—pressure bills in from the weekend and a lot of dry weather for many of us and it will be breezy through eastern coastal counties and towards the english channel, increasing amounts of cloud putting increasing amounts of cloud putting in through a reasonably sunny and frosty start and there could be one or two showers across eastern counties and over the hills they could contain a little bit of sleet and snow. temperatures dropping, widely single figures between six and nine and these are average for this stage in february and with high—pressure building in for sunday and the start of next week, the emphasis is on dry weather, one or two isolated showers can't be ruled out and southern counties, it looks like it will be windy at times. as you can see, a lot of dry weather as well. back to you.

local political leaders have condemned the attack, calling it despicable and cowardly. i'm totally devastated and in shock and without words as to why or how this has happened in 0magh or any part of our community on this island. there are no words for the details that i'm hearing. the impact it has already had and will have when other details emerge. the officer is known to be a senior detective, but police haven't said anything official about a potential motive for the shooting. he's being treated at altnagelvin hospital in londonderry. irish police have increased patrols in neighbouring counties after reports the gunman may have fled across the border after the attack. there's continued to be a security threat against police officers in northern ireland since the end of the troubles 25 years ago. but attacks are now much rarer. the secretary of state for northern ireland, chris heaton—harris,

said his immediate thoughts were with the officer and his family. emma vardy, bbc news. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page is in 0magh for us this morning. i know it is very early in the morning. i am i know it is very early in the morning. iam not i know it is very early in the morning. i am not sure if you have had any more updates on what has happened. bring us up to date. you 'oin me happened. bring us up to date. you join me here _ happened. bring us up to date. you. join me here at the scene of the shooting. as you can see, a large section of this sports complex is cordoned off. there are a number of sports pitches over that. local people say this site was very busy yesterday evening whenever the shooting happened. children wear here, parents were here. coaches were here and the police federation which represents police officers says the officer who was shot had

been coaching football to young people. the searches that have been carried out by forensic officers have been focused, it seems, on the car park. several other police vehicles are guarding the entrances to this sports centre. it is understood the officer was of senior rank and has a public profile in northern ireland. he is a detective who has led investigations both into organised crime, for example drugs gangs, drugs crime and dissident republican paramilitary groups opposed to the peace process and still do target police officers. it is both to directions that i think detectives will this morning be focusing their inquiries on. as you say it is still at a very early stage. the police have not said anything on the record about a potential motive for the attack.

there is certainly a great deal of a shockin there is certainly a great deal of a shock in 0magh and across northern ireland. the last police officer murdered across the uk was murdered here, murdered by a booby—trap bomb under a car. dissident republicans were behind that attack. there have been many words of consternation from politicians. rishi sunak said the shooting was disgraceful, he was appalled by it. the irish prime minister said it had his back to a time that most people in northern ireland had hoped was long behind them. thank you. a tv reporter and a nine—year—old girl have been shot dead near orlando, florida, close to the scene of another murder that took place hours earlier. a second reporter and the girl's mother were also shot and injured. 19—year—old keith moses has been

arrested but police say the motive for the attacks is unclear. a new, independent regulator of men's football in england is to be established for the first time. it would have the power to stop clubs joining breakaway leagues — and it's hoped it will make clubs more financially sustainable. the prime minister says the move would "put fans back at the heart of football". the labour leader, sir keir starmer, will pledge to make the uk the highest growing economy in the g7 if his party wins the next general election. the commitment is one of five so called "national missions" that will he will formally announce in a speech in manchester this morning. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent nick eardley. take us through what you know about what keir starmer has to say. we take us through what you know about what keir starmer has to say.- what keir starmer has to say. we got the five key — what keir starmer has to say. we got the five key pledges _ what keir starmer has to say. we got the five key pledges from _ what keir starmer has to say. we got the five key pledges from rishi i the five key pledges from rishi sunak at the start of the year. now

the answer from keir starmer. sunak at the start of the year. now the answerfrom keir starmer. he says if he is prime minister he will drive a decade of renewal in the uk, thatis drive a decade of renewal in the uk, that is the hope. we talk about labour a lot more now because they are doing well in the polls. around westminster a lot of people think he will be the next prime minister. he says these will be his guiding principles if he is pm. they are the economy, securing the highest growth in the g7, climate, including zero carbon electricity by 2030, securing the nhs, making streets safer and breaking down barriers to opportunities, which i think will be based on reforming childcare and education. they sound a lot of them like slogans, don't they? the big questions keir starmer will face is how do you do this stuff? what does it look like? aside from being big statements you can make in your manifesto, what does it look like? i

think we will hear a lot about these things over the next 18 months also before when we think when the next general election will be. labour are convinced they are onto something and they can drive his home and win the next election. thea;r and they can drive his home and win the next election.— the next election. they had to strike that _ the next election. they had to strike that balance. _ the next election. they had to strike that balance. everyonel the next election. they had to i strike that balance. everyone wants safe streets and secure future for the nhs. we are safe far ahead of an election. b. the nhs. we are safe far ahead of an election. : ., ., ., election. a lot of it will involve mone . election. a lot of it will involve money. talking _ election. a lot of it will involve money. talking about - election. a lot of it will involve money. talking about securing election. a lot of it will involve i money. talking about securing the future of the nhs. a lot of people would argue that the be based on more funding. keir starmer accepts there will not be a lot of money for a labour government if they come into power next year. also the thing about keir starmer, he likes making big pledges. when he stood for the leadership he had ten pledges an m5 brexit pledges. there is a sense

that politicians like to give you a few, a handful of tangible things that talk about who they are. the big question was in politics is, how do you deliver and how does it make a difference to people's lives? that is the detail— a difference to people's lives? that is the detail that _ a difference to people's lives? that is the detail that keir starmer will be pushed for. will those pledges go the distance? keir starmer willjoin the distance? keir starmer will join us the distance? keir starmer willjoin us here on the sofa at 7:30am today. the cases of 12,000 asylum seekers are to be fast—tracked by the home office to try to fulfil rishi sunak�*s pledge to reduce the backlog of applications by the end of the year. migrants from afghanistan, eritrea, libya, syria and yemen will have their claims decided on the basis of a ten—page questionnaire, which must be completed in english within 20 days. our home editor mark easton reports. afghans, who say they are fleeing persecution from the taliban, are among five nationalities being offered a fast track route to being granted asylum in the uk. they'll now be able to have their cases decided without ever being

interviewed face—to—face. and we expect to abolish the backlog of initial asylum decisions by the end of next year. last december, the prime minister said that by the end of 2023, his government would eradicate the backlog of 92,000 asylum claims that have been stuck in the system for more than six months. those eligible for the fast track scheme may be granted refugee status if they fill out a ten—page form in english and return it within 20 days. they must have applied for asylum before lastjuly and be from five countries with an acceptance rate of more than 95% — afghanistan, eritrea, libya, syria and yemen. some of those on the proposed fast track scheme will have arrived on small boats across the channel — an issue rishi sunak regards as one of his priorities. the asylum backlog is why thousands of migrants awaiting a decision are currently housed in hotels at a cost of millions every day. however, having previously stressed

the importance of in—person interviews, the home office is likely to face criticism that the fast—tracking has more to do with the prime minister's promise to eradicate the backlog than having rigorous checks for identifying individuals with no right to be in the uk. it will be uncomfortable for a home secretary, who portrays herself as tough on those who claim asylum having arrived by an irregular route. we need to ensure that we fix this problem of illegal migration. that's my priority. and as the prime minister himself has said, he'll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. it appears, however, that downing street's determination to sort out the asylum backlog means making it simpler for thousands of migrants to get permission to stay in the uk — some of whom will have arrived in small boats. mark easton, bbc news. tesco and aldi have become the latest big retailers to introduce limits on how much fruit and veg customers can buy.

asda and morrisons had already put restrictions in place. hannah is having a look at this now. people going shopping will see it with their own eyes but two more supermarkets are saying restrictions are in place. i saw it yesterday, there were empty shells with no tomatoes. it shows how used we are tomatoes. it shows how used we are to be able to get the products year round. if you go into tesco and aldi today you cannot buy more than three packs of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. similar measures in asda and morrisons as well. i do not know when the last time you went to buy more than three cucumbers in one go but you will not be able to do it now. clearly and attempt to tackle the shortages supermarkets are facing. these are not items we grow

in the uk throughout the winter. we get a lot from southern spain and morocco. the government says bad weather there has affected their supplies. there is also an effective high electricity prices because we do grow some of these products in greenhouses as well. people grow than in the uk and netherlands. they have cut back on growing in greenhouses because they do not spend as much money on electricity bills. we have had people asking, is all to do with brexit? the answer according to the british retail consortium, no, it isn't. if we are having less issues than some european countries, it is the way our supermarkets and supply chains tend to operate. there have been issued in ireland, which is a european country. that would add some weight to that argument. 0ne some weight to that argument. one way out of it, it could go on for weeks. it might be to pay more. supermarkets do not want to do that and customers do not want to do

that. no one wants to pay more for these items, so we are stuck with these items, so we are stuck with the shortages for a few weeks, it seems. the us department of defense has released an image taken by a fighter pilot, as he flew over the chinese balloon shot down off the coast of south carolina earlier this month. beijing maintains that the balloon was a weather ship blown off course, but washington says the balloon was part of a chinese intelligence collection programme. it's 7:14am. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. that is a beauty from ambleside. looking through towards lake windermere in the distance as the sun was coming up short while ago. a sunny start on a cold with the clear skies. —1, —2 on the tops of the hills. holding the north of the uk. clear skies through the night. negative temperatures are not as low

across much of england and wales. we have had more cloud. if you are about to head out, a bit of rain. the wettest conditions in the south—west of england at the moment. plenty of cloud will continue through the morning. becoming more and more confined to southernmost counties and northern ireland. the opposite can be said in scotland and northern ireland. the cloud will increase and we will see wayne develop across the highlands and islands. temperatures this afternoon lifting between seven and 9 degrees, where we should be at this stage in february. wendy ellis afternoon. the rain, gas of wind 40,50. ——gusts of wind. clear skies but quite windy conditions in scotland. not too much frost. the frost will be confined to the northern counties. more drier

weather for the weekend and into next week. back to you both. aha, weather for the weekend and into next week. back to you both. a blast of sun in belfast _ next week. back to you both. a blast of sun in belfast this _ next week. back to you both. a blast of sun in belfast this weekend. i step—free access to railway stations, designated spaces on buses and safety clips in taxis are all designed to make public transport more accessible and safe for wheelchair users. but an undercover investigation by bbc wales discovered a catalogue of failings when it comes to these special assistance measures, as emily nicole roberts reports. everyday tasks for wheelchair users can be tricky enough, but throw in problems of public transport and life can be made unnecessarily difficult. i think it's time we investigated what's going on here in wales. i wanted to see how hard it would be to travel to cardiff to meet my friends, who also use wheelchairs. at swansea station, the special assistance team helped me onto the train, but when i arrive in cardiff, the help i booked hasn't turned up.

nobody came. and when i get into a taxi, the driver failed to strap me in safely, as his licence requires him to do. my friends had problems travelling too. linley gregory has been a wheelchair user for eight years, after fracturing her spine. you just want to go out, as and when you want to and you just can't. everybody has to be warned beforehand and it's just difficult. at aberdare train station, there's a rail replacement bus service, and again, the pre—booked special assistance hasn't turned up. matt bassett was a teenager when he injured his spine in a swimming accident. we want to travel as well. because we are just humans after all. in pencoed, matt had no problem getting on board a bus. but there's another issue. even though the bus is almost empty, there's only one wheelchair space, and that means another wheelchair user can't get on.

they probably take a taxi or something. there are laws in place to protect disabled people on public transport. buses, taxis and train staff have a duty of care to protect and help us. in response to an investigation, dragon taxis say passenger safety is their number one priority and they've addressed the matter with the driver, who didn't secure my chair. they've also referred the incident to cardiff council's licensing team. first bus cymru say they work hard to deliver the best and most inclusive customer service possible. they say their newer buses include a separate buggy space that can double up as a second space for wheelchair users. and transport for wales told me our investigation uncovered that online bookings for special assistance weren't going through to the stations. it's provided an opportunity — one, to apologise for the experience that the passengers received, but also to say that we've now identified the issue and we've put a fix in place as a result

of the outcome of the filming. for baroness tanni grey thompson, a lifelong campaigner for disability rights, none of our findings of our investigation come as a surprise. she once had to crawl off a train on her stomach. the disability discrimination act promised that all trains would be step—free by january 1st 2020. and every government has allowed derogations to that, which means that it's now going to be 2070. so in my lifetime in the uk, i won't be able to get on and off most trains on my own. all i want is the same miserable experience of commuting as everyone else. that's all. it doesn't seem like too much to ask, does it? but, unfortunately, ithink we still have a long way to go. we'rejoined now by presenter sophie morgan. hello. good to see you, as ever. we

had a plethora of issues around using public transport. you are launching a campaign specifically around air travel. tell us at the moment, if you do use a wheelchair, what can you expect from a flight provider and what are you sometimes experiencing? figs provider and what are you sometimes experiencing? $5 a provider and what are you sometimes experiencing?— experiencing? as a wheelchair user, when ou experiencing? as a wheelchair user, when you arrive _ experiencing? as a wheelchair user, when you arrive at _ experiencing? as a wheelchair user, when you arrive at an _ experiencing? as a wheelchair user, when you arrive at an airport, i when you arrive at an airport, particularly if you have your own chair, there are a number of ways you can approach a flight. if you are a wheelchair user like me, bringing your chair with you, you typically travel in it to the aircraft door, at that point your wheelchair is taken away from you and put into the hold with the rest of the luggage. it is meant to be in an actual compartment but i do not know if that always happens. you wheelchair gets taken away, you transfer onto an aisle chair and the isle chair is dragged onto the plane by an assistant aircraft staff and

you are dragged to your seat. you transfer into your seat or are helped to transfer into your seat and you travel without... with whatever assistance you might need at that point. you had to use a call bell to call the airline staff if you need to go to the loo, for example. lose on the aircraft are not that big so for most people they are probably inaccessible. it is very difficult process. as of yesterday, a campaign was launched called rights on flights, which is looking to firstly raise awareness of the fact the problem has been going on for a long time, just like we have seen with other forms of transport. nowhere is perfect yet. as we had in the vt, there is a long way to go. the aim of the campaign is to raise awareness and what we are calling on is, a letter has been written by marion fellows, an mp can ask if we can call on government to

give the civil aviation the power to impose fines whenever an airliner or any other parties involved in assistance for travellers do not deliver. if you see the stories we keep seeing such as people being left on board for too long... you had an issue _ left on board for too long... you had an issue yourself _ left on board for too long... you had an issue yourself with a damaged chair, didn't you?— chair, didn't you? passengers being left on board _ chair, didn't you? passengers being left on board for— chair, didn't you? passengers being left on board for too _ chair, didn't you? passengers being left on board for too long. - chair, didn't you? passengers being left on board for too long. issues i left on board for too long. issues where your wheelchair is get damaged, like what recently happened to me a couple of weeks ago when i flew with british airways. they broke my wheelchair. these incidents are not isolated. it is a common occurrence. d0 are not isolated. it is a common occurrence-— are not isolated. it is a common occurrence. ., ., , ., occurrence. do you want to explain to --eole occurrence. do you want to explain to people what _ occurrence. do you want to explain to people what you _ occurrence. do you want to explain to people what you are _ occurrence. do you want to explain to people what you are seeing i occurrence. do you want to explain to people what you are seeing on i occurrence. do you want to explain l to people what you are seeing on the screen now?— to people what you are seeing on the screen now? when i got reunited with my wheelchair — screen now? when i got reunited with my wheelchair at _ screen now? when i got reunited with my wheelchair at the _ screen now? when i got reunited with my wheelchair at the end _ screen now? when i got reunited with my wheelchair at the end of _ screen now? when i got reunited with my wheelchair at the end of the i my wheelchair at the end of the flight, i got taken to wear my cherries. it was brought out of the hold. they attached, i have a wheelchair attachment and it was

attached incorrectly. the only way to get back into my cherries to break it apart so i can get back into it. what i need to explain, the damage that is done is more than just the damage to the chair. psychologically it is really impactful. they are our legs. without them we are not able to literally go anywhere. the compensation you might get, and thankfully i did get compensation, it does not really cover the emotional damage. do you know what i mean? ., ., , , ., , mean? you have played this out very ublicl mean? you have played this out very publicly and — mean? you have played this out very publicly and quite — mean? you have played this out very publicly and quite rightly. _ mean? you have played this out very publicly and quite rightly. do - mean? you have played this out very publicly and quite rightly. do you i publicly and quite rightly. do you think the reality is lots of wheelchair users simply do not travel because they fear, if you like, maybe the embarrassment, the practical side, like, maybe the embarrassment, the practicalside, everything like, maybe the embarrassment, the practical side, everything combined? do you know what, i won't go? this makes me — do you know what, i won't go? this makes me really _ do you know what, i won't go? try 3 makes me really sad. i was not planning to do this campaign. it

happened because of what has happened. marion reaching out to try and make change has reignited the campaign. wheelchair users, since i posted this, have contacted me saying, i don't actually have the confidence to fly any more. i keep seeing these stories. in itself it is not about coming on holiday and having a great time and wanting to travel for those reasons. travel is an essential part of living, travelling for work and health reasons, visiting family. more and more people are saying, i am too intimidated, it is such an inhumane process. because when you hand over your wheelchair you lose your independence, people are doing things like starving themselves and dehydrating themselves on flights forfear dehydrating themselves on flights for fear they will not get to the toilet. it is also a human rights issue. i hope with this campaign pledges to explain that i can rip close of what we are doing with the

campaign, we are asking mps to sign the letterfrom marion campaign, we are asking mps to sign the letter from marion fallows which we will put to the prime minister in a couple of weeks' time asking if they will give the civil aviation authority the power to fine anions when they let people down. couldn't read one day create a space on board an aeroplane, like we see on a bus and a train where we can travel in our chairs, keep our independence by transfer into a seat if we choose to and have access to an accessible toilet? that is the ambition and hopefully that will give disabled people more confidence to fly. ida people more confidence to fly. no doubt we will speak to you again, i am sure, as you progress through the campaign. thank you very much. i had not thought about that basic dignity. these incidents are unacceptable, the transport secretary says. british airways says they are extremely sorry for

sophie's experience. the handmade puppets from guillermo del toro's bafta winning film pinocchio are currently on display here in manchester. mairead smyth can give us a closer look at these intricate creations. morning. good morning. even if you have not seen _ morning. good morning. even if you have not seen the _ morning. good morning. even if you have not seen the film _ morning. good morning. even if you have not seen the film on _ morning. good morning. even if you have not seen the film on netflix, . morning. good morning. even if you have not seen the film on netflix, i | have not seen the film on netflix, i think everybody will recognise pinocchio's knows. i am a waterside arts centre surrounded by the most beautiful, intricate puppets. internationally acclaimed puppet makers, notjust pinocchio here. a lot of other puppets as well, such impressive stuff. there are 14 models of this pinocchio. apparently he would not be able to tell the difference. if you watched the bafta ceremony on sunday night, one of them had a taxi dead, able to

celebrate that wonderful occasion. i will be back with more. good morning from bbc london, with me, alison earle. the mayor has asked the prime minister to back the expansion of the ultra low emission zone, by giving him money to double the size of the scrappage scheme. in a letter to rishi sunak, sadiq khan said the funds would help people in neighbouring counties to replace older or more polluting vehicles. it comes as critics say plans to extend ulez across london in august will hit drivers who commute into the capital and those worst off. the bbc�*s been told only half the recommended number of medical staff were on duty at brixton academy on the night of a crush in december. two people died and a third is still in a critical condition after large numbers of people tried to get into the gig by asake. guidelines suggest there should have been at least ten medical staff, but there were five. medical provider collingwood services said it's "confident"

its team "responded speedily." a tapestry, made of a hundred panels stitched by ukrainian women, is being unveiled to mark a year since their country was invaded by russia. it features personal stories of those who've been displaced 75 women helped to create it and say it helped to take their minds off the troubles of the past 12 months. when you are doing it you are concentrated on the colours, on the textures. it has calmed me down. it was a kind of meditation. giving me the opportunity not to think about the problems and what is going on at home. more than 80,000 items belonging to david bowie will go on display for the first time in london's olympic park. his archive has been acquired by the v&a museum for it's new site in stratford in 2025. the exhibition will feature costumes. instruments, handwritten

lyrics and drawings. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking. there's no service on the entire metropolitan line due to a lack of signalling staff. and there are minor delays on thejubilee and dlr. now onto the weather with kate. cloud has been sinking south through the night so we start on an overcast note and we will see showery outbreaks of rain but dry and brighter later. the cloud this morning producing this showery rain, slowly clearing and through the afternoon, through the afternoon, and further north we start to see something brighter with some sunshine before the sun sets and temperatures of nine celsius, the wind strengthening and a north easterly flow, so a chilly start to the night under clear skies and the minimum temperature dropping to —2, so we are likely to see frost, but the cloud will move into friday

morning and that indicates some slightly less cold air. a couple of fronts tomorrow, a warm front followed by a cold front and it's between the two where you can see the air is slightly less cold but quickly replaced by something chillier as we head into the weekend. at the weekend it will be breezy and chilly wind as well but we should see largely dry conditions with a little bit of sunshine. there's lots more on our website and social media including the cheapest way to stay warm in bed. that's it for now, i'll be back in around an hour. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. labour leader sir keir starmer will outline his five so—called "national missions" for britain in a speech in manchester later this morning. he joins us now in the studio. good morning. good to see you. five missions, good morning. good to see you. five missions. five _ good morning. good to see you. five missions, five bold _ good morning. good to see you. five missions, five bold missions, - good morning. good to see you. five missions, five bold missions, so i missions, five bold missions, so what is so bold about them question about what we're setting out today

is what we intend to do in government, so the missions, five of them, but how we intend to achieve them, but how we intend to achieve them and what does a mission driven government look like and the idea behind it is based on the frustrations, the everyday frustrations, the everyday frustrations everybody has. almost nothina frustrations everybody has. almost nothing seems _ frustrations everybody has. almost nothing seems to _ frustrations everybody has. almost nothing seems to be _ frustrations everybody has. almost nothing seems to be working i frustrations everybody has. almost nothing seems to be working and l nothing seems to be working and nothing seems to be working and nothing —— everything needs to be fixed and we have had sticking plaster politics and the classic example is the nhs as we have a winter crisis in the nhs every year and wejust winter crisis in the nhs every year and we just about fix it, get through to the summer and then we go back into the next year of winter crisis. energy is another example with freezing energy bills, that's a good thing but we can'tjust go on every year doing the same thing. we need something which is longer term, so this is fixing the fundamentals to make sure we can restore, if you like, the pride and purpose to britain and the great potential our country has, so the long—term mission, a statement of intent about

how we intend to govern and they are important missions and they are to do with the economy and to have the highest sustained growth in the g7 and sustained as the important is that. we made to make sure the nhs is fit for the future we need to make streets safer and make sure we remove the barriers to opportunity for every child everywhere and we want to be a green, clean the power, a superpower so a big mission and i'm not ashamed to be ambitious for our country and we move forward as a country in a crouched position and have the confidence to move forward.

everybody wants a better economy, better nhs and safer streets. everybody wants that. so the viewer is watching, sustainable growth in the g7, how will that affect them and what will they see? how will you make it happen? it’s and what will they see? how will you make it happen?— make it happen? it's a really important — make it happen? it's a really important question. - make it happen? it's a really important question. you i make it happen? it's a really i important question. you could make it happen? it's a really - important question. you could have growth that is predominantly coming from london and the south—east and one of the big stink —— big thing stopping growth is many investors look at the uk and say the uk is not stable enough and we think it is politically odd that we had three prime ministers, for chancellors and four budgets in the last year and it brings a smile. and it's very un—british. it slightly

ridiculous but for investors it sends the wrong message. 50 ridiculous but for investors it sends the wrong message. so what would ou sends the wrong message. so what would you differently _ sends the wrong message. so what would you differently to _ sends the wrong message. so what would you differently to offer i sends the wrong message. so what would you differently to offer the l would you differently to offer the stability? we know devolution has been a promise for decades and we've heard about levelling up for a decade so what would you do differently?— decade so what would you do differentl ? ., , _, ., . differently? two things. economic stability means _ differently? two things. economic stability means we _ differently? two things. economic stability means we have _ differently? two things. economic stability means we have to - differently? two things. economic| stability means we have to respect the institutions and be really clear about the spending rules and there will be no uncosted spending from the labour party. we want to see growth and we want to see growth in the north west, notjust in central manchester, but across the whole of the area and the all have to have to have a share and contribute to it and be part of it, and that means we have to be bold enough to devolve powers out of london to make sure that decisions about manchester, about burnley, wigan, other places across the uk are made by people with skin in the game. this is about

a government that says that they are prepared to do the hard yards and the bold thinking and put the power where people are with skin in the game. where people are with skin in the name. �* �* , where people are with skin in the ame, �* �*, ., ., , where people are with skin in the ame, �* �*, ., ., i. game. but there's already a structure — game. but there's already a structure in _ game. but there's already a structure in place _ game. but there's already a structure in place for i game. but there's already a i structure in place for regional devolution we have it in greater manchester, so what would change? we manchester, so what would change? 2 need to go further than that on the structures aren't in place everywhere but we need to put the resource and skills together with it and make sure we are doing a partnership. many, many businesses say to me say, if i knew what a government will do with certainty, not just government will do with certainty, notjust in the next six or nine months, but say a five year period at least,, i can come alongside government and invest with government and invest with government and invest with government and be part of the future with it, and that longer—term stability is what drives these missions. stability is what drives these missions-— stability is what drives these missions. ., ., ~ ., ., missions. you talk about long-term trust in what _ missions. you talk about long-term trust in what you _ missions. you talk about long-term trust in what you are _ missions. you talk about long-term trust in what you are saying - missions. you talk about long-term trust in what you are saying and we| trust in what you are saying and we heard from jackie this morning he says, why should we believe your five pledges when you binned your ten leadership pledges when elected? in 2020 you are advocating common

ownership of rail and mail but in the mission statement we see, you are inviting and trusting private ownership and investment as part of the pie. you have unpicked your ten pledges as a leader, so why should we trust the five missions? what pledges as a leader, so why should we trust the five missions? what the five missions — we trust the five missions? what the five missions are _ we trust the five missions? what the five missions are is _ we trust the five missions? what the five missions are is a _ we trust the five missions? what the five missions are is a reflection i we trust the five missions? what the five missions are is a reflection of i five missions are is a reflection of what we most need for our country going forward. these are the result of huge conversations with businesses, communities across the country including many places in the north west, so what we need to do to unlock the potential of our country. to get away from what i call sticking plaster politics. for too long we have let a crisis involve and put a sticking plaster on and we just about get through and then we go round the same circle again. we haven't had long—term planning in this country for many years and this is my diagnosis what the problem is and what the solution is, and none of these have been dreamt up. they are hammered out with businesses and

communities. it are hammered out with businesses and communities-— communities. it sounds like we will have to wait _ communities. it sounds like we will have to wait to _ communities. it sounds like we will have to wait to hear _ communities. it sounds like we will have to wait to hear the _ communities. it sounds like we will have to wait to hear the details. i have to wait to hear the details. just on the detail and i won't take much longer and i know you want to move on, but on the detail, each of the missions is underpinned by specifics, what are you going to do to achieve the mission? i don't want them to be vague things that never materialise, and then what are the first steps to achieving that. what are you going to do in the first hundred days of a labour government? all of that will be set out. we hundred days of a labour government? all of that will be set out.— all of that will be set out. we will wait to hear _ all of that will be set out. we will wait to hear the _ all of that will be set out. we will wait to hear the detail. _ all of that will be set out. we will wait to hear the detail. we i all of that will be set out. we will wait to hear the detail. we want i all of that will be set out. we will. wait to hear the detail. we want to talk about asylum seekers in the backlog at the moment. is it risky to offer refugee status without face—to—face contact? and is it fair for the online form to have time pressure in english? i’ge for the online form to have time pressure in english?— for the online form to have time pressure in english? i've seen what the government — pressure in english? i've seen what the government has _ pressure in english? i've seen what the government has announced i pressure in english? i've seen what| the government has announced and pressure in english? i've seen what i the government has announced and in many respects it's an admission of failure because they have backlogs that are so big that they cannot cope. 0ne that are so big that they cannot cope. one thing that caught my eye a few months ago and i was staggered by is of all the people who arrive by is of all the people who arrive by small boats in 2021, of all of

those people, only 4% have had their asylum claims processed. ifind that staggering and that is a broken system which is what has happened. but is online expedition safe and fair? �* , : but is online expedition safe and fair? �*, . ., ,, ., ., ., fair? it's an admission of failure and the government _ fair? it's an admission of failure and the government trying i fair? it's an admission of failure and the government trying to i fair? it's an admission of failure i and the government trying to rush things through and rishi sunak has made a commitment to get the numbers down and this is how he is trying to down and this is how he is trying to do that. : , ., ~' down and this is how he is trying to do that. : , ., ~ ., , do that. and you think it leaves it wide open _ do that. and you think it leaves it wide open and — do that. and you think it leaves it wide open and is _ do that. and you think it leaves it wide open and is a _ do that. and you think it leaves it wide open and is a security i do that. and you think it leaves it wide open and is a security risk. wide open and is a security risk question like this is a classic example of sticking plaster politics, a quick fix today to get the numbers down which carries with obvious risks but rb —— absolutely leave the solutions are. what are the obvious risks?— leave the solutions are. what are the obvious risks? these people have waited for their _ the obvious risks? these people have waited for their asylum _ the obvious risks? these people have waited for their asylum process i the obvious risks? these people have waited for their asylum process is - waited for their asylum process is to be looked at and now they are rushed through in this way but it is sticking plaster politics. we have a list of people waiting that is so long we cannot deal with it, so we have a quick fix today, but the longer term fix is, one, a better

asylum system to process claims more quickly, because this will only deal with a small number of those waiting, but the bigger prize is to have a specialist unit in the national crime agency. a lot of the people crossing, particularly the channel, are being driven by criminal gangs who are making money out of human misery and we need to break those gangs and i think we can only do it using the national crime agency so we want a specialist unit in the agency so it can work across borders, upstream, tackling the gangs who are profiting from the misery that drives people into this situation. 50 misery that drives people into this situation. ., . ~ , ., , situation. so tackle the problem before they _ situation. so tackle the problem before they arrive. _ situation. so tackle the problem before they arrive. you - situation. so tackle the problem before they arrive. you talk - situation. so tackle the problem | before they arrive. you talk about risk. in 2019 you said shammima begum and the stripping of her citizenship has been lost and should she be back aloud here to face justice in the uk? i she be back aloud here to face justice in the uk?— justice in the uk? i think the decision yesterday _ justice in the uk? i think the decision yesterday was - justice in the uk? i think the decision yesterday was the l justice in the uk? i think the . decision yesterday was the right decision yesterday was the right decision in the court has looked at

all the information got the evidence not only available at the time and national security has to come first. the court has reached its decision and looked at the evidence and i support that decision and, as i say, national security has to come first. 0k. national security has to come first. ok. that is clear. i want to talk to about ukraine. you made visit there at and you met with volodymyr zelensky. what was it like walking the streets where we know those atrocities took place? it the streets where we know those atrocities took place?— atrocities took place? it was incredibly — atrocities took place? it was incredibly powerful- atrocities took place? it was incredibly powerful and - atrocities took place? it was - incredibly powerful and humbling and i saw president zelensky and this is the meeting in kyiv and i was able to say to him that should there be a change of government next year because he knows there will be an election and he is across our politics, but should there be a change of government, there would be no change of approach from the uk under a labour government and he was

pleased to hear that and knows we have been united through this but when i went to the outskirts as you just mentioned, that was the most powerful and humbling, and before i went to ukraine i saw some of the images and you have seen them, of civilians blindfolded and their hands tied behind their backs and then shot in the head and left in then shot in the head and left in the street, but i went to the streets where it happened, the neighbourhoods where it happened and i talked to the deputy mayor and the mayor, the religious leaders and other community members who had to gather up those bodies from the street, theirfellow gather up those bodies from the street, their fellow citizens, gather up those bodies from the street, theirfellow citizens, their brothers and sisters, their family members. and then bring them in trolleys, supermarket trolleys and things like that, to their church where they had to dig a mass grave and bury them. i stood where they had to dig a mass grave and bury them. istood —— i where they had to dig a mass grave and bury them. i stood —— i stood at the side of the mass grave and it was just a powerful reminder ofjust what it means to be on the front

line of the conflict and cds or atrocities. they had a burning sense of wanting justice but the thing i really took away, every day and those outskirts they go to work on the railways with 113,000 employers higher rates than ever, because they are determined to show vladimir putin they will not be beaten and the railways was an example bomb our railways, we will fix them and get the trains run on time. it was such a powerful human message of resilience and courage. you will not break us and i was standing at the side of that mass grave, and looking at the people working on the railway, as a human being rather than a politician, it was very, very humbling, that sense of we are going to get on and we will not be defeated. to get on and we will not be defeated-— to get on and we will not be defeated. ~ ., ., ., ., �* , defeated. we have to move on. let's talk about scotland. _ defeated. we have to move on. let's talk about scotland. you _ defeated. we have to move on. let's talk about scotland. you described . talk about scotland. you described the day nicola sturgeon left is a great political day. she was a political advantage for the snp.

once she has gone, the snp movement, their ideological desire does not disappear, but admittedly there is a vacuum now. how do you plan to fill it? , , , c, vacuum now. how do you plan to fill it? _ _, , c, it? firstly i should pay tribute to nicola sturgeon _ it? firstly i should pay tribute to nicola sturgeon who _ it? firstly i should pay tribute to nicola sturgeon who was - it? firstly i should pay tribute to nicola sturgeon who was a - it? firstly i should pay tribute to - nicola sturgeon who was a formidable politician leading for eight years, and that is tough and i wish her well in what she does next, but i do think the snp has run out of road and ideas and that if you look at their record in government now, they've been in powerfor 15 their record in government now, they've been in power for 15 years and you look at how poor the education is, the nhs, and the drug deaths in glasgow. i think you can see what is a failed project, but in answer to your question, that doesn't automatically mean that anybody who voted for the snp that has seen nicola sturgeon go and may be as disorientated and thinking, why do i go next? that does not mean they automatically transfer from the snp to the labour party. we have to

persuade them, and their vote and make it clear that the labour party has changed and we are the party of change in scotland, and understand that many people in scotland do want to change and they are right about that. i think we can have a changed and better scotland in a changed and better uk, but it is for us to earn the vote and i come to this with humility, with honesty. we must earn those votes. so, yes, the fact that nicola sturgeon has gone is an important political moment, but all it provides the labour party is the opportunity to show what we can do and to make the argument that the labour party is now the party of change. fix, labour party is now the party of chance. �* ., ., labour party is now the party of chanre, �* ., ., ., labour party is now the party of chanie, �* ., ., ., change. a long way to go there. i want to ask _ change. a long way to go there. i want to ask you _ change. a long way to go there. i want to ask you about _ change. a long way to go there. i want to ask you about former - change. a long way to go there. i i want to ask you about former labour leaderjeremy corbyn who will not stand in the next election and you don't think he has taken adequate responsibility for the equality and human rights commission report and there you are shaking hands and looking good pals. were you pals? i served injeremy's shadow

looking good pals. were you pals? i served in jeremy's shadow cabinet served injeremy's shadow cabinet and i got on and my business when i do a job is to do the bestjob i can but i'm very clear in relation to jeremy corbyn, the first thing i said as labour party leader, on the day i got elected, just under three years ago is i will tear out anti—semitism by its roots and i meant it, and that meant i had to take action in relation tojeremy corbyn, and that is whyjeremy corbyn, and that is whyjeremy corbyn will not stand at the next election as a labour candidate. we have changed the labour party. it's unrecognisable from the party of 2019. nobody disputes that. they can argue about whether it is the right change, but nobody says you have not changed the labour party. we have and we are not going back and that is whyjeremy corbyn won't be standing as a labour candidate and we move forward with confidence as a party into the next general election. party into the next general election-— party into the next general election. . ., election. have you lost him as a friend? he _ election. have you lost him as a friend? he said _ election. have you lost him as a friend? he said he _ election. have you lost him as a friend? he said he never- election. have you lost him as a - friend? he said he never considered you a friend, someone who hangs out with you and comes round for tea.

was that the case? and does it matter when you look at angela rayner, are you and see friends question what would you go to her house question mark angela and i are very much friends. i house question mark angela and i are very much friends.— very much friends. i talk to her all ofthe very much friends. i talk to her all of the time- _ very much friends. i talk to her all of the time. and _ very much friends. i talk to her all of the time. and she _ very much friends. i talk to her all of the time. and she is _ very much friends. i talk to her allj of the time. and she is incredible. you will have had her in for interviews and this is very much her patch here in manchester but she is fantastic and i'm not going to sit it and pretend angela and i agree on everything because you wouldn't believe me and it would be true but we fundamentally have the same goal which is to change the labour party, make it fit to serve our country and going to government but there is something more than that with angela. if my back is against the wall, we all have things going on behind the scenes with our families, difficult situations to deal with but when things like that happen for angela, i'm always there for her. so ou angela, i'm always there for her. so you would rely on her as a friend? if there was something going on causing me difficulty behind the scenes, you know, she is always

of 50 mph for some. that will take a knock off the temperature of eight or 9 degrees but it's not far off where we should be for this stage of the year. as we go into tonight, rain in northern scotland will push south and will be fragmented and we will see damp and drizzly weather down the coast of england but under the cloud that temperatures won't drop as much as last night and a chilean night in the south. frost becoming confined to the southernmost counties by the morning as the weather front continues to work south, taking the cloud ever further south, so the details for tomorrow, friday, lots of cloud, in good parts of england and wales and some rain and drizzle, not a huge amount which will push south but brightening up from the north midlands and sunny spells for many but we will see a keen breeze in the east of scotland and eastern england in particular and one or two showers there. low temperatures with the stronger winds will be up a bit on today's values. the weather front is

out the way as we go through friday into saturday and at the start of the weekend that high—pressure bills in and think of high—pressure and drier weather and that will be the case for the vast majority but notice how the cloud will steadily pushing from eastern counties further west through the day so the best of the sunshine in the morning and throughout western scotland and northern ireland as well as the far west of wales and temperatures dropping again on out will feel cold in the wind and there could be one or two showers across eastern scotland and eastern england which will be wintry over the higher ground, so it will feel cooler as we go into the weekend on the area of high—pressure seats in place as we go through sunday and into the start of next week so the emphasis will be on largely dry conditions and one or two showers around, especially in east and temperatures will remain at the levels they should be as we go into march. the levels they should be as we go into march-— into march. mike is here with the sort and into march. mike is here with the sport and we _ into march. mike is here with the sport and we were _ into march. mike is here with the sport and we were just _ into march. mike is here with the sport and we were just talking i into march. mike is here with the sport and we were just talking to | sport and we were just talking to sir keir starmer about big takeovers and clubs with lots of money. doesn't always mean success. yes,

benjamin hendricks needed the accuracy. the feeling was that city don't offer the chances of them but 15 minutes later he was a better one, scored byjosko gvardiol, one of the rises —— rising forces of europe. late in the game city pleaded for a handball and a penalty under case was highlighted in the post match replays. they can take out their frustration in the second leg, but this competition continues to stretch manchester city's patients. city's neighbours manchester united and barcelona have had to settle for the second tier european competition, the europa league. but it's still a glamour tie tonight, and both have ambitions of lifting this trophy. it's such a massive week for erik ten hag's side with the league cup final at wembley on sunday, but first, this second installment, of this block buster against barca, at the theatre of dreams, with the stage set for a thrilling finale, with the tie level at 2 all after the first leg.

one team who've already got a trophy this season are the england lionesses. it was another brilliant night for england's women who have retained the arnold clark cup, thrashing belgium 6—1 in the winner takes all game at ashton gate. the lionesses dominated the match with chloe kelly's two goals, making herthe tournament's leading scorer. it was a great evening for captain leah williamson who also scored twice. the victory extends sarina wiegman's unbeaten run as manager to 29 matches. and the side, certainly look in good form, ahead of the world cup this summer. no stopping them at the moment. thank you, mike. guillermo del toro's adaptation of pinocchio won the best animation prize at the baftas. the incredible puppets were are all handmade by animation studio �*mackinnon and saunders' here in manchester and are currently on display in a new exhibition. before we take a look around, let's remind ourselves of that award winning film i want to tell you a story, it's a

good morning. welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. our headlines today... an off—duty police officer is in a critical but stable condition after being shot in northern ireland. totally devastated and in shock and without words as to why or how this has happened.

english football gets a new independent regulator, with a promise of more financially sustainable clubs and more powerforfans. a "statement of intent" — that's how sir keir starmer described his five national "missions" for the uk if labour win the next general election. # this is ground control to major tom.# the starman in all his glory. david bowie's archive is bought by the v&a museum, and will be put on public display. and in the weather, and sunny but frosty start in the north of the uk. swapping things round a little later. all the details right here on breakfast. it's thursday, 23rd february. our main story. an off—duty police officer is in a critical but stable condition after being shot

at a sports complex in northern ireland. police say the shooting happened at around 8 o'clock last night while the officer coached young people playing football in omagh in county tyrone. our ireland correspondent, emma vardy, reports the shooting happened in front of young players, training at a football coaching session. it's thought the off—duty officer was shot multiple times at around 8 o'clock in the evening. local political leaders have condemned the attack, calling it despicable and cowardly. i'm totally devastated and in shock and without words as to why or how this has happened in omagh or any part of our community on this island. there are no words for the details that i'm hearing. the impact it has already had and will have when other details emerge. the officer is known to be a senior detective, but police haven't said anything official about a potential motive for the shooting. he's being treated at altnagelvin hospital in londonderry. irish police have increased patrols in neighbouring counties after reports the gunman may have fled across

the border after the attack. there's continued to be a security threat against police officers in northern ireland since the end of the troubles 25 years ago. but attacks are now much rarer. the secretary of state for northern ireland, chris heaton—harris, said his immediate thoughts were with the officer and his family. emma vardy, bbc news. our ireland correspondent chris page is in omagh for us this morning. chris, what do we know about this attack so far? nina here at the sports complex where the attack happened last night a great deal of police activity is happening. police vehicles are guarding the entrances to the complex, which is a wide area cordoned off including a number of sports pitches, football pitches and

gaelic football pitches also. if you look at the car park of the complex, most police activity overnight and this morning seems to have been focused there. officers wearing forensic suits have been carrying out searches. that suggests it is that area specifically where the police officer was shot. now it is understood the officer is a senior detective. he has a public profile in northern ireland because he has led investigations into both organised crime, drugs gangs, for example, and into dissident republican paramilitary groups opposed to the peace process. that will form the basis of police inquiries at this stage. the police have not said anything official about a potential motive. there has been condemnation of this across the political spectrum. the dup leader,

the vice president of sinn fein, naomi long of the alliance party all saying it echoes back to a time which the people of northern ireland had hoped they had left well behind. also in london under prime minister rishi sunak has said he has been pulled by what he called this disgraceful shooting. in dublin, from the irish prime minister, strong words of condemnation for the murder of this detective. thank strong words of condemnation for the murder of this detective.— sir keir starmer will set out five key priorities for labour in a speech later, which includes delivering the highest growth in the g7. the labour leader told us his ideas were an answer to what he calls "sticking plaster politics." did he give much detail on how he would change things? i am

there is no detail, how will you deliver it? you have made pledges in the past you have dropped. ultimately i think it is a sign of confidence in the team of keir starmer that he is able to come on breakfast to say, this is what i will do when i am prime minister. polls suggest he is in with a good shot. ., , , ., shot. you will be listening in on his speech. _ shot. you will be listening in on his speech, when _ shot. you will be listening in on his speech, when she? - shot. you will be listening in on his speech, when she? thanki shot. you will be listening in on i his speech, when she? thank you. -- his speech, when she? thank you. —— won't you. tesco and aldi have become the latest supermarkets to introduce limits on how much fruit and veg people can buy. peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers are now restricted to three per customer. asda and morrisons had already put restrictions in place as poor weather in spain and north africa, have caused the issues and they are expected to continue for the next few weeks.

a team set up by fans to give them something to support, competes here in the northwest counties league, the ninth tier of the english game at a ground they have to rent. and the government says the mismanagement that led to the club's downfall shows why the sport now needs an independent regulator. bury has become the poster boy of footballing failure in some respects, and we're all tired of it. we want to move on, but we also want to make sure that other clubs don't suffer the same fate. look around. everybody in this ground today has suffered from what happened in the past. we think an independent regulator is particularly crucial because it's the only thing that's really got teeth. as recommended by a fan—led review, the regulator will issue new annual licences to clubs that depend on a sound business plan take over a strengthened owners and directors test to guard against unscrupulous owners and give supporters a greater say in the running of clubs. as outlined in a white paper, the regulator will also have powers to block clubs from joining

breakaway competitions, like the european super league. for many, the plight of bury shows exactly why english football is now in need of a major overhaul. but they're far from the only club that have suffered a financial crisis in recent years. derby county were on the brink of liquidation last year — one of 64 clubs put into administration since 1992. and with the football league calling for a greater share of the premier league's wealth, the government has warned the regulator could intervene to bring about a new financial settlement. the premier league said it already provides half a billion pounds a year to the wider game and recognise the case for change. commentator: casimiro! but at a time when manchester united is for sale, it added it was vital that regulation does not deter investment or have unintended consequences. i think we all would have hoped that football itself could have solved some of the conundrums that we're facing

and some of the difficulties that we've had, but clearly we haven't. so, in some ways, we've only got ourselves to blame. the premier league has established itself as the richest and most popular club competition in the world. the government says it wants that to continue, but insists historic change is now needed for the good of the wider game. dan roan, bbc news. we're joined now by sports minister stuart andrew. good minister stuart andrew. morning to you. what tang difference good morning to you. what tangible difference with an independent regulator make? am difference with an independent regulator make?— difference with an independent reiulator make? . ., regulator make? an important point to sa is regulator make? an important point to say is we — regulator make? an important point to say is we have _ regulator make? an important point to say is we have listened _ regulator make? an important point to say is we have listened very i to say is we have listened very carefully to the experience of fans. they had been at the forefront of our minds. into many instances, they have seen the clubs they love and have seen the clubs they love and have invested in, you know the run, if you like, in a way that is not sustainable. the independent regulator will be able to monitor each of the club is to ensure that

festival we know who owns the clubs, they are fit and proper people to run those clubs and they had the best interests of those clubs at heart. crucially that they have sound financial planning to ensure those clubs are sustainable notjust today but into the future so those fans can have absolute confidence that their clubs are being run in the best way possible. we that their clubs are being run in the best way possible. we have a number of _ the best way possible. we have a number of stories _ the best way possible. we have a number of stories relevant i the best way possible. we have a number of stories relevant to i the best way possible. we have a j number of stories relevant to this right now. let me ask you about manchester united. as you well know there is a qatari backed bid for manchester united happening right now. what difference with this independent regulator make to that process? it independent regulator make to that irocess? ., ., , ., , , ., , ., process? it would not be appropriate for me to talk _ process? it would not be appropriate for me to talk about _ process? it would not be appropriate for me to talk about individual- for me to talk about individual cases. what an independent regulator would be able to do is look at the individuals that are seeking to buy a club. they will be able to run a

proper... a fit and proper persons test on them to make sure they are the right sort of person to run a club and that their finances are sound finances and that they stamp out illicit finance from football. once they have passed those tests we need to ensure that they properly engage with the fans because at the heart of this is fan engagement. we want the fans to have confidence that the people buying the clubs and running the clubs have the same level interest of care of the club as the fans do. figs level interest of care of the club as the fans do.— level interest of care of the club as the fans do. as the system now. there is a — as the fans do. as the system now. there is a fit _ as the fans do. as the system now. there is a fit and _ as the fans do. as the system now. there is a fit and proper— as the fans do. as the system now. there is a fit and proper test i as the fans do. as the system now. there is a fit and proper test now, | there is a fit and proper test now, isn't there? it there is a fit and proper test now, isn't there?— isn't there? it does not go far enoth. isn't there? it does not go far enough- we _ isn't there? it does not go far enough. we hoped _ isn't there? it does not go far enough. we hoped football i isn't there? it does not go far i enough. we hoped football would isn't there? it does not go far - enough. we hoped football would come up enough. we hoped football would come up with a solution itself but it has not. we will now introduce an independent regulator that will have

teeth and be able to look at the fine details of those individuals, deep properfit and proper tests fine details of those individuals, deep proper fit and proper tests and ensure we have all of the information, they have all of the information, they have all of the information at their disposal. it will be a much tougher regime than exists at the moment and it will bring confidence to fans up and down the country. bring confidence to fans up and down the count . bring confidence to fans up and down the country-— the country. there are the big issues like — the country. there are the big issues like owners _ the country. there are the big issues like owners and - the country. there are the big issues like owners and then i the country. there are the big i issues like owners and then the micro issues like changing the name of a club, badge palace, kit, that kind of thing. what would be the difference under the independent regulator to the system which exists now. a lot of people will know about the situation in cardiff around the shirts. what would be different under the independent regulator. you are riiht. under the independent regulator. ym. are right. one of the primary objectives of the independent regulator would be to ensure clubs are doing properfan engagement. you are doing properfan engagement. you are right. in a couple of months,

year, new regulations have been brought in by the fa making sure clubs had to properly engage with fans. if they want to change —— they want to change important club heritage, like you describe. that would be a minimum standard expected by the regulator from clubs to ensure if any of the changes are being proposed it cannot happen unless the fans give permission for it to do so. unless the fans give permission for it to do so-— it to do so. can i reduce some iuotes it to do so. can i reduce some quotes from _ it to do so. can i reduce some quotes from the _ it to do so. can i reduce some quotes from the west - it to do so. can i reduce some quotes from the west ham i it to do so. can i reduce some i quotes from the west ham owner. maybe you have heard these. iie quotes from the west ham owner. maybe you have heard these. he says this is a terrible _ maybe you have heard these. he says this is a terrible idea. _ maybe you have heard these. he says this is a terrible idea. the _ this is a terrible idea. the government is terrible at running everything. look at the mess the country is in. we pay the highest taxes for the worst service. the premier league gives away more money to lower leagues than any other league anywhere. it is a fantastic export. why does an incompetent government think it will improve

things? this is not government running football, it is an independent regulator, making sure it is overseeing notjust the premier league but the whole of the third full pyramid. frankly football has had many opportunities to get its own house in order, to actually bring about the changes that fans want to see. they have not done so. as a consequence we are responding to the calls from fans. that is why this new independent regulator will be in place. let me be clear. it is independent and it is not the government running it. the independent _ government running it. the independent regulator will be a government appointment? independent regulator will be a governmentappointment? it independent regulator will be a government appointment? it will be almost exactly _ government appointment? it will be almost exactly the _ government appointment? it will be almost exactly the same _ government appointment? it will be almost exactly the same as - government appointment? it will be almost exactly the same as other i almost exactly the same as other regulators which are independent of government, like the fca and others. we want to ensure there is confidence that the regulator is

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, with me, alison earle. the bbc�*s been told only half the recommended number of medical staff were on duty at brixton academy on the night of a crush in december. two people died and a third is still in a critical condition after large numbers of people tried to get into the gig by asake. guidelines suggest there should have been at least ten medical staff, but there were five. medical provider collingwood services said it's "confident" its team "responded speedily." the mayor has asked the prime minister to back the expansion of the ultra low emission zone, by giving him money to double the size of the scrappage scheme. in a letter to rishi sunak, sadiq khan said the funds would help people in neighbouring counties to replace older or more polluting vehicles.

it comes as critics say plans to extend ulez across london in august will hit drivers who commute into the capital and those worst off. nurses who worked on the uk's first dedicated ward for patients with hiv and aids have been opening up about their experiences as part of lgbt history month. these pictures were taken 30 years ago by the photographer gideon mendel, who was given special access at broderip ward in middlesex hospital in central london. the team who worked there took a different approach in the hope of ending some of the stigma. ijust tried to make the ward as open and as welcoming as possible. so, you know, hugging people, making sure that you weren't afraid of them. i think that was the other thing because, i guess, the fear outside was so profound that we had to make it clear that there was nothing to be afraid of. travel now and this is how tfl services are looking there's no service on the metropolitan line between wembley park and uxbridge/ moor park and between baker street and aldgate. and there are severe delays

on the rest of the line. there's no service on the dlr between tower gateway and shadwell. and there are minor delays on thejubilee line. now onto the weather with kate. cloud has been sinking south through the night so we start on an overcast note and we will see showery outbreaks of rain but dry and brighter later. the cloud this morning producing this showery rain, slowly clearing and through the afternoon, and further north we start to see something brighter with some sunshine before the sun sets and temperatures of nine celsius, the wind strengthening and a northeasterly flow, so a chilly start to the night under clear skies and the minimum temperature dropping to —2, so we are likely to see frost, but the cloud will move into friday morning and that indicates some slightly less cold air. a couple of fronts tomorrow, a warm front followed by a cold front and it's between the two where you can see the air is slightly less cold but quickly replaced by something chillier as we head into the weekend. at the weekend it will be breezy and chilly wind as well but

we should see largely dry conditions with a little bit of sunshine. there's lots more on our website and social media including the cheapest way to stay warm in bed. that's it for now, i'll be backjust after 9. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt doctors at a hospital in london have published guidance on how to treat the severe side effects of the drug, known as laughing gas, after a surge in people admitted with symptoms over the past year. nitrous oxide is the second most popular recreational drug among young people in the uk. over—use of laughing gas can lead to damage to the nervous system, particularly the spinal cord. this is a condition that can cause serious and permanent disability.

we're joined now by professor harry sumnall from liverpooljohn moores university and also by kerry—anne donaldson who first started using canisters of laughing gas when she was 18. we will start with you, harry. good morning. many people see this as the most innocuous of recreational drugs, but is it? it most innocuous of recreational drugs, but is it?— most innocuous of recreational drugs, but is it? it does have the reputation _ drugs, but is it? it does have the reputation of _ drugs, but is it? it does have the reputation of being _ drugs, but is it? it does have the reputation of being a _ drugs, but is it? it does have the reputation of being a relatively i reputation of being a relatively benign — reputation of being a relatively benign drug but we are hearing more and more _ benign drug but we are hearing more and more about these serious medical cases— and more about these serious medical cases and _ and more about these serious medical cases and i_ and more about these serious medical cases and i think it's important to put things— cases and i think it's important to put things in perspective. there are a large _ put things in perspective. there are a large number of users, may be up toa million— a large number of users, may be up toa million in— a large number of users, may be up to a million in the uk every year, so some — to a million in the uk every year, so some of— to a million in the uk every year, so some of these extreme cases are very rare. _ so some of these extreme cases are very rare, thankfully, but i think all users — very rare, thankfully, but i think all users might be add some form of risk if— all users might be add some form of risk if they— all users might be add some form of risk if they are using heavily. what is it and what _ risk if they are using heavily. what is it and what impact _ risk if they are using heavily. “yeast is it and what impact does risk if they are using heavily. wisgit is it and what impact does it have on the body? it is it and what impact does it have on the body?— on the body? it is a short acting drui , on the body? it is a short acting drug. usually — on the body? it is a short acting drug, usually inhaled _ on the body? it is a short acting drug, usually inhaled from i on the body? it is a short acting i drug, usually inhaled from balloons and administered by a balloon and

"the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse" became an instant lockdown hit with its themes of hope and friendship — and now the film adaptation has been nominated for an academy award. it's been 20 years since illustrator charlie mackesy has been on a plane — but he's packing his bags and heading to hollywood for the oscars! our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been for a catch up at his studio.

do you have a favourite saying? yes. what is it? if at first you don't succeed, have some cake. the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse and the oscars. this is where the story all began. scribbling away. there's 15 or 20,000 drawings in this house. good grief. in boxes and boxes. charlie mackesy�*s south london home—cum—studio, which shares with his dog, barney. he started to whatsapp drawings to friends struggling with their mental health, then almost by mistake built up a huge following on instagram which led to a book deal, and thanks to word of mouth during lockdown, it became the bestselling adult hardback in britain since records began, beating jamie oliver. is there a filing system? i think you have to play to your strengths, and you know, filing is not one of my strengths,

but, it's all right. things are more than alright though, as a—list celebrity fans include oprah winfrey, who even has her own mole voice. what do you want to be when you grow up? kind, said the boy. and jj abrams, the man who rebooted star wars, helped turn the book into an animation. one that is now up for an oscar. meaning that charlie mackesy has had to fly on a plane for the first time in almost 20 years. i had a dog that had severe separation anxiety, so if ever i went anywhere i drove, so i never got on a plane. seriously? and then she died and then i got barney, and he had separation issues and it was a nightmare leaving him, because he hasn't been without me for iii years. iii years? maybe it's me and everyone thinks it's the dog,

but it's me who struggles to leave, to leave i love animals behind. what is the bravest thing you have ever said? the 30—minute film took two years to make. asking for help isn't giving up. it's refusing to give up. i'm thinking of all the oscar—nominated films, and yours is actually the one that will have been seen the most by people in britain, because more than 9 million people have watched it on the bbc since it first was shown on christmas eve. yeah, i didn't know that figure. oh, that's quite overwhelming. well, thank you, you know, i hope they enjoyed it. that's leftfield. whoa. i didn't mean to make you cry. no, it's lovely to hear, and i really hope they enjoyed it, you know? sorry.

tears fall for a reason and they're your strength, not weakness. - this is the academy awards class of 2023! and charlie's build—up to the big night has begun. three, two, one! the oscars. you've already been to the nominees' lunch. i have. just tell people what that experience is like. what i'd say of it is that it was disarming, because it was way warmer and friendlier and less competitive than i had ever dreamt. you were about three rows behind tom cruise. oh, he was lovely, and brendan fraser, i know he's had quite a journey and i saw him and ijust wanted to give him a hug and say, you are amazing. did you give him a hug? yeah, i did, yeah. everyone there, you know, they have been through stuff. and you made the most of the toilet.

ihid. when i first arrived, i thought, "i can't deal with this" and i snuck off and did some breathing in the loo. and some drawing? yes, i wrote a note, yes. on some paper i found in there. it's not hard to find paper in a toilet. it was really high quality paper, i have to say. have you ever done anything like this before? never in my life. and he really does love drawing as much as possible, so we gave him a challenge — put the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse into the bbc breakfast studio. it's a cake. it's one big breakfast cake. that's it. i think you've made breakfast viewers very happy. and finally, which of the four characters do you think will enjoy the oscars the most?

the mole, because he gets fed. yeah, definitely the mole. hello, cake. and on the 12th of march, charlie mackesy will find out if mole has his cake and eats it by taking home an oscar. oh, it's a tree. colin paterson, bbc news, south london. wouldn't that be something. wiz had a look at it there, _ wouldn't that be something. wiz had a look at it there, and _ wouldn't that be something. wiz had a look at it there, and i _ wouldn't that be something. wiz had a look at it there, and i hope - wouldn't that be something. wiz had a look at it there, and i hope it's - a look at it there, and i hope it's the right way round, this is the signed image here and always remember, you are enoughjust signed image here and always remember, you are enough just as you are. as. remember, you are enough 'ust as you are. �* , ., are. a very important message, even to ou, are. a very important message, even to you. charlie- — are. a very important message, even to you, charlie. why _ are. a very important message, even to you, charlie. why spoil— are. a very important message, even to you, charlie. why spoil it? - are. a very important message, even to you, charlie. why spoil it? one - to you, charlie. why spoil it? one big breakfast _ to you, charlie. why spoil it? one
