closed its doors for the final time. time to say goodbye. this nursery in southampton has been here for more than 20 years. it is beloved by the local community. emotional, that's the only word for it, emotional. especially, like, when you're on your own as a mum and you go home, and you've got the teachers here for support, it's really... it is really hard. this raw emotion is a result of hard economic realities. nearly all of the parents of the children at ymca weston park nursery and pre—school make use of government—funded free childcare. but that funding has not increased in line with recent rising gusts. in line with recent rising costs. the cost of living has gone up, everything has increased,

our overheads have increased, and unfortunately that funding amount has remained the same, and so that means that we are just in a deficit. we should not be having to close our doors, and we should not be leaving children without provision. this nursery is the victim of a nationwide problem. and one leading childcare charity says more than 5,000 providers have closed in the last year. i have never witnessed such a difficult time for parents to find a place for their child, and it will not get better, this will get considerably worse, unless there is adequate investment, make sure the infrastructure is strong, but it has never been this bad. in a statement, the department for education says it recognises the financial pressures faced by parents and providers. it says it has spent more than £20 billion over the past five years to support families with the cost of childcare and provided unprecedented support to protect all businesses from high energy prices. but it has not been enough to save this nursery. bye.

6:52 pm
hello. this is bbc news. the family of a black man shot dead
6:53 pm
by a metropolitan police firearms officer in south london six months ago, has called for urgency in the handling of the investigation by the police watchdog. 24—year—old chris kaba died in september after being shot through a car windscreen. the family say they've been given little or no information as to when the iopc will complete their investigation. 0ur correspondent, greg mckenzie, spoke to the kaba family as they held a candlelit vigil at the scene last night. a family and a local community coming together. six months to the day since 24—year—old construction worker chris kaba was fatally shot by metropolitan police firearms officer on a south london residential street. holding back tears, the kaba family say the last six months have been extremely difficult. everything stopped.
6:54 pm
we can't do nothing. so everything like, i don't know how to explain. every day, just the grace of god. it's very hard. where i'm going, anywhere, anything i'm doing, i got chris in my mind, and the way they killed chris. i can't forget it. and all the time, i see the police. all the time i see any car passing me, i have to think about chris. the police watchdog, the iopc, launched a homicide investigation a week after the shooting in september and the officer responsible has been suspended. the iopc are also examining whether race was a factor
6:55 pm
in the shooting of mr kaba, who was unarmed. but now the family want answers and are critical at the length of time it's taking for the iopc to conclude its investigation. we need the truth. i need the answer. i can't wait more than six months again. no, no. i'm tired. enough is enough. last night, the family of mr kaba gathered at the scene of the incident, calling forjustice for their son. in a statement, the iopc said that they were confident that their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of chris kaba will conclude within the six to nine month time frame they specified from the outset. they go on to say that they are awaiting an external report which they will require in order to conclude their investigation and finalise their report.
6:56 pm
and only then can they decide whether or not to refer a file of evidence to the crown prosecution service for a charging decision. gregg mckenzie, bbc news, stratham. time for a look at the weather. hello. it's been a reasonably cool and fairly cloudy sort of weekend. we may well see a bit more sunshine over the next few days, but with it a real drop in temperature and some wintry weather on the way, too. through monday and tuesday, we're set to see a bit of snow and ice, particularly for the north and east of scotland and north—east england as well. so there could be some travel disruption. but what we'll all notice is that drop in temperature, with a cold arctic air mass piling its way in from the north behind this weather front here. so as we head through tonight, a period of fairly heavy snow for a time across parts of eastern scotland, a few centimetres there, icy conditions developing and then more frequent wintry showers across many northern parts of scotland overnight. further south, some breaks in the cloud allowing temperatures to get down a few degrees below freezing and a few splashes
6:57 pm
of light rain across england and wales first thing tomorrow. that cold front sinks its way south. so a little bit of light rain through central parts of the uk. to the south of that, sunny spells few drizzly showers, but 7 to 10 degrees. further north, though, that's where that cold air is streaming in from the north. so typically only about 2 to 6, with those snow showers continuing to accumulate for northern and eastern scotland and north—east england. heading through monday night into tuesday now, again some snow and some ice expected across northern and eastern scotland and north—east england. so temperatures across the northern half of the uk below freezing but just about above freezing further south as that weather front continues to just push its way slowly southwards. tuesday morning, then, we might well start with quite a bit of cloud and outbreaks of rain in the far south as that weather front slowly clears elsewhere, a return to sunnier skies, but a brisk northerly wind driving in more snow flurries, particularly for northern and eastern scotland, eastern england. but there could be a few for northern ireland, too. top temperatures typically only 2 to 7 degrees on tuesday. but when you add on the effect of that brisk northerly wind,
6:58 pm
it is going to feel subzero for many of us, particularly for parts of eastern scotland and eastern england where we've got those snow flurries. so this is the zone through monday and tuesday most likely to see some snowy weather, 5 to 10 centimetres across parts of north—east england and scotland, up to 20 centimetres of snow over the highest peaks. there could be some wintry weather away from this zone. and then as we head towards the middle of the week, a subtle change starts from the south—west as we see low pressure approaching. and then through wednesday into thursday, that low pressure piles this milder air in from the south—west that could well bring a period of rain, sleet and heavy snow. and then temperatures in the south will be on the rise. bye— bye.
