good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today: the un's refugee agency criticises the government's plan to stop migrant boats crossing the channel, but the prime minister says he's �*up for the fight�*. next week's strike action by network rail workers is suspended after a new pay offer. a vigil in cardiff for three young people killed in a car crash and two others critically injured, as police are criticised for not finding them sooner. could the big banks be offering savers better rates? that's the question mps will be asking later — i'll be taking a look.

and in sport — a magic night for potter, as chelsea survive the pressure of a retaken penalty to reach the champions league quaretr finals. hello. the doctor. and a month after the devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria, we reunite a survivor with those who rescued him from the rubble. good morning. we havejust had the coldest night of this year so far. temperatures across the north highlands had fallen to —14. they could fall more. we have some rain, sleet and snow on the cards across parts of the south, but as we go through the next couple of days we will see some significant snow falling a bit further north which could be disrupted. i will have all of the details later in the programme.

it's wednesday 8th march. our main story. the un refugee agency has said it is concerned over the government's plan to stop people coming to the uk in small boats across the english channel. the organisation said proposals to prevent people from claiming asylum violated the refugees�* convention. the prime minister said they are "necessary, and fair". here's our political correspondent, iain watson. as the boats keep coming, so the political problems keep growing. rishi sunak is attempting to turn the tide and a new law aimed at deterring people coming to the uk by illegal routes. but if this doesn't stop the boats, by the time of the next election, will he have failed? if we get this right, it will make a difference. now we're in the early stages of it, but we've given it a long, hard thought and i said at the beginning of the year that, you know, i only promise what i believe i can deliver and i will absolutely deliver on what i promise. so if passed by parliament, what would the government's new law do? it'd stop almost everyone arriving in small boats from claiming asylum here. arrivals would be detained

and then removed to rwanda or another safe country. and they would be banned from re—entering the uk. the government hopes this would deter people from making the hazardous channel crossing. khalid came across the china in a leaky dinghy in 2021 and he doesn't think a new law would stop others from doing the same. now, even seeing the numbers, numbers are even higher. and how quickly could the new system be put in place? in a letter to mp5, the home secretary, suella braverman, said "there was a more than 50% chance that the government's plans aren't compatible with international law." that would make legal challenges more likely. and the united nations high commission for refugees has said it is profoundly concerned by the government's new legislation. this is effectively closing off access to asylum in the uk

for people arriving irregularly. we believe it's a clear breach of the refugee convention. and labour claims the government's plans are unworkable. enough is enough. we can't afford any more of this slogans and not solutions, just government by gimmick, ramping up the rhetoric on refugees, but picking fights simply to have someone else to blame when things go wrong. there's clear blue water between government and opposition on how to tackle the migrant crisis, and it's an issue that's unlikely to subside before the next election. iain watson, bbc news. we are going to speak to suella braverman a bit later in the programme. we can speak now to our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. nick, we have the detail of the policy, but what happens next? this is just the this isjust the beginning of the

process through parliament? yes. process through parliament? yes, this needs to _ process through parliament? yes, this needs to pass _ process through parliament? yes this needs to pass through parliament. the government is hoping it can do that pretty quickly, getting it to the house of commons in the next few weeks, before easter and then getting the whole thing passed through parliament and into law by the summer. it is at that point you are likely to see the legal challenges that have been talked about over the past 2a hours. i think the government is expecting that to happen and we had the prime minister said yesterday that he was up minister said yesterday that he was up for the fight on this. he thinks the government has a solid, legal case and is prepared to take on anyone who wants to challenge the legality of what he's doing. ultimately, rishi sunak is trying to persuade us all that everything that has been tried before has not worked and we have to come up with something new. he says that is exactly what this plan does. in part, rishi sunak does want to solve this issue, absolutely, but he wants to be seen to be trying to solve it.

there is a bit of politics in play. he wants to go into the next general election telling voters, we are doing everything we can to try and solve this. interesting when you read the opinion pieces by the prime minister and the home secretary in the newspapers, they often say we have got a plan, labour don't. they are trying to create a wedge going into the election. labour would say we do have a plan, it is a different one, it is more likely to work and it would be based on cracking down on the gangs in the north of france and various other things like improving the way that asylum cases are dealt with in the uk, making them go faster and deporting people who are unsuccessful. but ultimately, rishi sunak has set himself a big task in saying he wants to stop the small boats and now he has got to deliver. hick now he has got to deliver. nick eardley for _ now he has got to deliver. nick eardley for now, _ now he has got to deliver. nick eardley for now, thank - now he has got to deliver. nick eardley for now, thank you. match of the day presenter, gary lineker will be "spoken to" by the bbc and "reminded of his responsibilities",

over comments he made about the government's immigration plans. writing on twitter he said the language used to set out the policy, was "not dissimilar to that used by germany in the �*305". a number of conservative mps have expressed anger at his comments — with the party's deputy chairman calling mr lineker — "out of touch". the rmt union has called off next week's strikes by members at network rail, after receiving a new pay offer. the development will raise hopes of a breakthrough in the long—running dispute between rail workers and the industry. howard johnson reports. after months of transport chaos, finally some good news. the rmt union has called off strike action of members who work for network rail. the company that looks after the upkeep of britain's railway network. maintenance workers and signallers had been due to walk out on thursday and saturday of next week. the rmt union said all strike

actions concerning network rail had been suspended following the receipt of a new pay offer. so far, details of a new pay offer. so far, details of what the offer is have yet to emerge. london euston is one of the busiest train stations in the country and it has been the site of many delays and cancellations over the last few months. so this news will be received positively by commuters. but this isjust will be received positively by commuters. but this is just one of many disputes between rail companies and transport unions. members of the rmt from 14 train operators are due to strike later this month. with the start of the easter holidays for many. and london underground drivers are to strike on the 15th of march. since last year, britain has been gripped by a wave of industrial action by hundreds and thousands of workers, including post office staff, nurses and teachers as wages fail to keep pace with soaring inflation and the deepening cost of living crisis. a department for

transport spokesperson welcomed the rmt's transport spokesperson welcomed the rmt�*s latest move but added... the rmt's rmt�*s latest move but added... the rmt�*s leaders must put the best and final offer to their members in the train operating companies who are still due to strike in the coming weeks and who are not being given the opportunity to vote on an offer. the rmt union says further updates on the national rail disputes will be given in the coming days and a vote on the new pay offer will be put to its members. howard johnson, bbc news. hundreds of people attended a vigil in cardiff last night for three young people killed in a car crash, which has left two others critically injured. it comes as the police force is being criticised for why it didn't find them sooner. our wales correspondent hywel griffith reports. a moment to honour three young lives. friends who went on a night out together and never made it home. darcy ross was 21, the same age

as her close friend eve smith. they died alongside rafeljeanne, aged 24. it was one of his friends who arranged tonight's vigil. yeah, we were very close. got a lot of memories together. been through a lot of stuff together. friends for years. pretty much, we were like brothers. i just wish obviously we knew a lot sooner and was able to see through the trees so he was found a lot earlier. could potentially saved him, maybe. the police say the car crashed early on saturday morning. it was found almost two days later after a member of the public spotted tyre tracks. the officers' response is now the subject of an independent review. for now, feelings here are a mixture of grief, shock and some anger. there's also fear that more lives are still in the balance,

as the car's two other passengers remain critically ill in hospital. the hundreds who came here tonight wanted to celebrate three lives lost and share in each other�*s sorrow. emotions are still raw here, with many questioning whether the police could have found their friends sooner. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. our correspondent tomos morgan joins us now from the scene. incredibly moving pictures, they must have been a huge impact on the community? figs must have been a huge impact on the community?— community? as you can see, all the floral tributes _ community? as you can see, all the floral tributes and _ community? as you can see, all the floral tributes and all— community? as you can see, all the floral tributes and all the _ floral tributes and all the fireworks that were let off last night. this road, we are metres away from the dual carriageway where the car went off and they had to close the road last night for this vigil to take place. there has also been an outpouring on social media, but

there has also been a quite a bit of angeras there has also been a quite a bit of anger as well. a number of family members now have criticised the police in a way they have dealt with this inquiry and even though both forces involved in this investigation have referred themselves forward to the iop sea, themselves forward to the iop sea, the independent office for police conduct, have now said they will investigate the way police handled missing persons reports following the crash, they are investigating that now. got a few more details, confirming some of the details we knew that the lie sighting was around two o'clock in the morning on saturday and the crash happened sometime after that. three missing persons reports were filed on saturday evening, another one on sunday. police put out an appeal around 11 o'clock on sunday evening and within about an hour or so, the car was found. so we are waiting to hear any more details on those two still in hospital, hopefully later

on today. still in hospital, hopefully later on toda . , ., , still in hospital, hopefully later on toda. , ., still in hospital, hopefully later ontoda. , ., , on today. lets hope for some answers in cardiff. a weight loss jab has been approved for use by the nhs in england. semaglutide, which gained popularity in the us, makes people feel fuller, so they eat less, as annabel rackham reports. weight loss can be a lifelong battle for some people, but now a new drug designed to help obese people has been approved for use in england. the national institute for health and care excellence says semaglutide is safe, effective and affordable for the nhs. caley lives in america and she has been using a similar drug to semaglutide for seven months and has lost a third of her body weight. she says it helps when nothing else did.— weight. she says it helps when nothing else did. previously when i would have — nothing else did. previously when i would have a _ nothing else did. previously when i would have a meal, _ nothing else did. previously when i would have a meal, i _ nothing else did. previously when i would have a meal, i would - nothing else did. previously when i would have a meal, i would fill- nothing else did. previously when i would have a meal, i would fill my| would have a meal, i would fill my plate and have my whole plate. it wasn't that i was gorging, i would eat everything on my plate and my body wouldn't tell me, you are full.

probably in the post! 500 words relies on thousands of volunteer first round judges to read all of the incredible stories. we did an army ofjudges to go through the entries. the hunt is on for teachers, teaching assistants, librarians, sen staff, in toast, training or retired. get in touch. follow the link on the screen and apply now. it's been the coldest night of the year so far with temperatures reaching minus 1a in the highlands. bitter conditions are expected to last until the weekend, with the met office warning that traffic disruption and power cuts are likely across the uk. if you're looking at a frosty

or even a snowy view today, we'd love to see some pictures — and there's a new way to send them to us. you can send them to us on our new whatsapp number — which is 0330123 0440, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on twitter as well. don't forget to tell us your name and whereabouts you are. looking forward to your pictures as the morning goes on. carol love using them as well because she uses them on her screen to tell us the weather. that is a temperature, carol?

-14 —14 celsius and still the potential for it to slip a little bit more. this was in the north highlands. in stark contrast to this, at the same time, they else obsolete the temperature was plus 11, so there is a 25 degrees difference in temperature between the north of the country and also the south. also the risk of ice first thing this morning, still snowing part of the south, a picture in guildford. in the south, there is a mixture of rain, sleet and snow so not all of us seeing the snow, but some of it is lying and during the rush hour this morning, you may run into some problems with some of the roads and may be some delays due to this. as we push further north, it is cold and temperatures are sub zero, but when gets up there will be a fair bit of it around. still a peppering of wintry showers around the coast, especially the windward coast with the cold wind coming in. rain, sleet

and snow is for a time in the south, but then comes back in. nine and 11 in plymouth and also st helier. but that means we will see rain where we have got any precipitation those milder temperatures. as you push further north the rain will readily turn to snow. as we go through the afternoon we will see more snow and sleet return across parts of wales and into the midlands, for example. as we head through the evening and overnight, there goes that band and we have some more coming in from the south and that will be travelling a bit further northwards, as we go through the course of the night. further north, it won't be as cold as it was last night, but we can still see minus ten, possibly lower in sheltered glens. that leads into tomorrow. again, we have the rain, milder conditions and the snow a bit further north across wales into the midlands and northern england. this is slower than what we thought

yesterday, might not get into southern scotland until much later on in the day. but it will be another cold one, three degrees to about 6 degrees. but look at what is happening in the south—west. we are looking at 12 degrees. it's been one month since devastating earthquakes hit turkey and syria, killing more than 50,000 people. but, as well as stories of heartbreak — there were also many of hope. here on breakfast we've brought you the remarkable tale of dr malcolm russell — who, along with his team, rescued a man who had been trapped under the rubble in turkey for five days. now, serdal has been able to those that saved his life, as tim muffett reports. this is what bravery looks like.

the earthquake happened on monday and we were well into the deployment, and on friday one of our team heard some knocking and some voices. the building they were in was a hotel that had collapsed. 77 volunteers from the uk international search and rescue team and four specially trained dogs had been flown to turkey shortly after the devastating earthquake. this particular rescue was our most prolonged for the entire period of time we were there. ten metres of breaching through concrete with a mixture of tools, hand tools that we are literally trying to get things into buckets, pass them back. after 20 hours, the team found and rescued a woman who'd been entombed in a tight space forfour days but was otherwise uninjured. she alerted them to another man, serdal, who was still trapped. serdal was passing in and out of consciousness, so we knew he was more critically ill.

the doctor. it seemed that his legs were trapped underneath a sort of concrete block. and at that point, that's where we have to start making decisions about what's going to happen next to the rescue. and you were chosen to actually do the extraction. why was that? i'm quite a small and nimble member of the team, and these voids are very, very small. getting serdal out took several more hours. in hospital, he tweeted his thanks to malcolm, sarah and the rest of the team, but he also wanted to talk to them. you're about to speak to serdal, what's going through your mind? i'm slightly intrigued as to what he's going to remember. we were in some very,

very tight and all positions. but you kind of you build an attachment to someone when you're in there for that long, you never really get to recontact people that you rescued. so this is a complete one off. malcolm. nice to see you. my mummy. she say, thank you very much. very much. it's our pleasure. daddy. 0h, she's beautiful. thank you. you are my hero. always be, you know. oh, that means a lot to us. and we're very we're really, really pleased. the whole team is so excited to hear that that we were getting to speak to you. it's understandably emotional, but this is also a rare chance for malcolm and sarah to learn more about someone they've rescued.

serdal�*s words are spoken by an interpreter. did you end up having any injuries other than dehydration? i can walk easily. the leg muscle is a little bit tired. i that's the only problem. wow. did you know how long you'd been there by the time we came to you? in the building. idon't remember the time or the date. there was no light, no food or water. l it was like i was in a dream. you're very courageous, having kept your spirits going through such a long time. thank you all. thank you. hello, serdal. it's tim here from bbc? hello. what is it like? what's it like to speak to malcolm and to sarah? amazing for me to see

malcolm and sarah. i there are my light. they brought me back to life. i'm so appreciated. i owe them my life. we're just delighted to hear that you've done so well. the whole team is really, really pleased and excited for you. goodbye. what's it like to speak to the man whose life you saved? oh, that was just. yeah, they said this doesn't normally happen. normally, in our dayjobs, we normally don't have contact again from anyone that we've rescued or a patient. so to actuallyjust see him again is completely different from the image that i had from when we were in hatay. yeah, it was amazing, really. it was, it was, um, it was quite emotional to see when his daughter came on and his mother, you know, the impact that it's had on his whole, whole family. one of 12 lives saved by the uk team in turkey amidst a disaster that killed tens of thousands of people. a story of bravery, endurance and immense skill that ended well. tim muffett, bbc news. what an amazing reunion.

higher interest rates should mean better rates for savers, but despite banks saying deals are available — customers are not seeing the benefit. hannah has the details. we often talk about that people struggling with the cost living but there are millions of savers out there are millions of savers out there as well. somewhere! let's go back to the beginning and take a look at where we are now with interest rates and how we got here. since the financial crisis in 2008 if they had been at historically low levels, hovering at 0.5% because the bank of england didn't want a saving money, it wanted to encourage spending to get the economy going. but all started to change at the end of 2021 in response to high levels of 2021 in response to high levels of cheap borrowing during the pandemic. since then, interest rates have been going up, first to tackle the rise in the cost of living fuelled by the war in ukraine, secondly in response to september's

mini budget which created a lot of economic uncertainty. the base rate set by the bank of england is now 4%, but customers are complaining that the mortgage rates offered by high—street banks have risen more quickly than what they offer on savings accounts. the bank bosses disagree. if we look at the numbers, according to the average two—year fixed mortgage in the uk is now 5.1% with up to 4 million households set to see their payments rise this year. meanwhile, easy access savings accounts seem to be having just over 3% and the best one i could find this morning is a 3.4%. this isjust one of several issues that will be discussed at a hearing in parliament this afternoon and with the budget a week away, we have been speaking to businesses in slough about what they want to hear from the chancellor. it might not feel like it, but spring is on the way and so is the spring budget. this florist on slough high street is seeing costs pile up.

it wants those to be the chancellor's priority next week. i will keep my door open always, as much as i can. but seriously, we need some support. the bills, the rent, electric, energy, the price is getting very, very high. we need a cooler system for the flowers as it is cut flower. we have to keep it fresh under a special degree. even the fuel price, affecting all the delivery flowers. we are seriously struggling in this situation. the flowers here are blooming, but the business itself is struggling to grow. customers are spending less because of the cost of living crisis, and with energy bill support for firms due to be scaled back from april, it's a worrying time. rahmia is hoping jeremy hunt will announce new measures to help with energy costs. she'd also like the fuel duty cut to be extended. rising costs are a problem for this gym, too. its overheads have risen by more than 30% in a year. recruitment is the other major challenge and one it hopes the chancellor will address.

we make enough money to survive for the next month and then carry on running, just so we can operate and help the youth in our community. and a lot of the kids, if they didn't have this place in slough, they'd be on the streets fighting. a lot of the kids, they can't afford to pay. but if there was an opportunity where they were given some sort of funding to start their training, then it would literally help them notjust in their training, but in their life. we actually lost one of our cousins six months ago to knife crime. we're even more determined now. it's really upsetting to think because of the cost of living is so high, i might not be able to carry this place on. ammar also wants to see an expansion of free childcare, allowing parents to get back to work. at this bakery, coffees and cakes are being served, but food prices have soared over the past year. the cafe manager wantsjeremy hunt to reduce inflation and taxation. food prices have gone up and energy prices after the pandemic, and the current situation that's happening in ukraine. i'm hoping that the vat will be cut and the business rate as that

will help us to keep the product and lower prices. and how likely do you think that is to happen just given where the uk's finances are right now? well, i'm hoping they will work out something, you know, to help the businesses and give support to the businesses. and we're just going to wait for the plan. firms have drawn up their wish lists. the treasury said it has provided hundreds of billions of pounds of support to businesses during the pandemic and the war in ukraine and said the budget will set out the next stage in its plans for growth. noor nanji, bbc news in slough. there is plenty for the chancellor to think about. we know the government wants businesses to grow so it has more money to spend on public services, things like schools and hospitals as well. plenty to look out for in the week to come.

time now to get the news and the weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. the metropolitan police has seen a huge rise in the number of dog attacks in the last five years. data obtained by the bbc found more than 80% rise, over a thousand dogs were seized last year alone and the force spent almost £1 million on vet and kennel bills. a croydon—based dog walker is calling for change. ultimately, what potential issue you have got is people just move from different areas to different areas at the moment because each council has different licences or rules, as opposed to a unified set of guidelines or a set number of dogs that have to be, can be walked. in response a defra spokesperson

said, whilst dog walkers are not hundreds of flats in east london have been left without drinking water after the drinking tank became contaminated. residents living in a hackney wick new build complex were notified last week that the water is no longer safe to drink. the developer says residents have since been provided with bottled water and it's working closely with thames water. it was only after we started to get the notices through that i noticed i'd been feeling a bit nauseous, and i wondered, is it that? they've still got told us what the chemical is. and it could affect us in lots of ways. i'm quite worried about it, it would be good to know what's happened. let's take a look at the travel now. minor delays on the district line and severe delays on the northern

line. you may have noticed it is snowing outside it so let's get the weather. hello, good morning. many of us seeing snow today across the capital. this is crystal palace as recorded by one of our weather watchers earlier on this morning. and there is of course a met office weather warning in force for snow and ice valid until nine o'clock on thursday morning. there will be two main pulses of snowfall today. the coming through this morning and the second through the evening rush—hour. a lot of that will be falling as rain. it's falling as snow this morning, sleet and snow, a covering of around one to three centimetres quite widely, a little more over the higher ground. that then spins away through the mid—to—late part of the morning to leave us with a largely dry rest of the day, temperatures only one to three celsius, so feeling bitterly cold, a few drags of rain around before the second system approaches from the south—west into the evening rush—hour. it could cause some tricky travelling conditions but much of this will be falling as rain. turning wintry again over the higher

ground in particular. ice could be an issue as we start off thursday morning, but on thursday we will be seeing rain and not snow. that's all for now, we'll be back in half an hour. hello, you're watching breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. charities and politicians are reacting to the government's plans to stop migrants arriving in the uk on small boats. under the new legislation, anyone who enters illegally would be detained, swiftly removed and barred from re—entry. in the 24 hours before yesterday's announcement, nearly 200 people made the journey across the english channel. our correspondent, simonjones, is in dover this morning.

we is in dover this morning. have asked him about thir he we have asked him about this because he has covered this story over many years, you had stood there on this cliff and watched the boats arriving. what are people in dover saying about the plans announced yesterday? the saying about the plans announced esterda ? , yesterday? the view here is something _ yesterday? the view here is something that _ yesterday? the view here is something that needs - yesterday? the view here is something that needs to . yesterday? the view here is something that needs to be j yesterday? the view here is - something that needs to be done but not everyone is convinced that yet another government announcement is going to make a difference. this morning here in the day that the snow and sleet has been coming down, it is bitterly cold but we have seen crossings made on days like today in the past. as long as it is calm enough out there in the channel. people here in dover will often come here on the white cliffs and watch the boats come in, they will hear the boats come in, they will hear the helicopters overhead, looking for people out at sea. the view is that something needs to be done. you get the idea that this is a community divided. you saw that at the weekend because there was a

small protest amongst people saying that migrants are not welcome here but a counter process saying —— protest say, refugees are welcome. the question is whether this new initiative will really stop the boats. we're joined now by dr peter william walsh, a senior researcher at the migration observatory. good morning. there are two issues around this policy, out there, the legality of it and also the practicalities. let's start with the legality, is this allowed?- legality, is this allowed? under international— legality, is this allowed? under international law, _ legality, is this allowed? under international law, we _ legality, is this allowed? under international law, we are - legality, is this allowed? under international law, we are a - international law, we are a signatory and we had an important role in drafting the refugee convention. at the heart of the refugee convention it says, the country has a duty to hear asylum claims of people that raised them regardless of how they enter the country. so even if without authorisation. this does appear to be indirect contradiction with the

refugee convention at the un has said as much. we refugee convention at the un has said as much-— refugee convention at the un has said as much. ~ . ., ., , , said as much. we have already seen arrivals prosecuted _ said as much. we have already seen arrivals prosecuted because - said as much. we have already seen arrivals prosecuted because they - arrivals prosecuted because they arrived on about, how does that work? , , , , ., ., work? the big issue is -- arrived on a boat, work? the big issue is -- arrived on a boat. how — work? the big issue is -- arrived on a boat, how does _ work? the big issue is -- arrived on a boat, how does that _ work? the big issue is -- arrived on a boat, how does that work? - work? the big issue is -- arrived on a boat, how does that work? the i work? the big issue is -- arrived on| a boat, how does that work? the big issueis a boat, how does that work? the big issue is where we are going to put these tens of thousands of arrivals, put them and detain them? and then where are we going to remove them too? typically the government prefers removal rather than prosecution. the last time i looked, the uk's detention facilities had a capacity for about 2500 individuals, some months last year there were 7000, 8000 arrivals. clearly the detention would have to be substantially upscaled for these people to be held. and i think they would need to be detained because after all they are being threatened with deportation. that raises the bigger practical challenge which is,

where are people going to be sent? we have actually had similar rules in place since the 1st of january 2021, and of the 20,000 people that the government has said, we are going to try to remove you and we are banning you from the asylum system, we have only remove 21 people. the practical challenge is to remove these people to safe countries you need a with those countries, either bilateral agreements in specific countries or the eu as a whole. there is nothing about that in the bill. the government _ about that in the bill. the government about - about that in the bill. the government about to - about that in the bill. the government about to say, we will deal with the practicalities in the next few months, we will try to find accommodation, do arrangements with other countries, right now we just have to get the law through, is that fair enough?— have to get the law through, is that fair enou~h? _, ., ._ ., fair enough? government do say that, i think it probably _ fair enough? government do say that, i think it probably will— fair enough? government do say that, i think it probably will go _ fair enough? government do say that, i think it probably will go through - i think it probably will go through parliament because the house of lords, it's likely they are going to see some resistance there, but they tend to defer to the greater aquatic

legitimacy in the elected lower house, the house of commons. —— the greater democratic legitimacy. once it becomes law, there are the legal questions, it is going to be legally challenged, the home secretary has said, old salt, some critical part of it could be defeated in the courts. ., , ., ., courts. -- odds on. the government and lots of— courts. -- odds on. the government and lots of our _ courts. -- odds on. the government and lots of our viewers _ courts. -- odds on. the government and lots of our viewers to _ courts. -- odds on. the government and lots of our viewers to say - courts. -- odds on. the government and lots of our viewers to say that i and lots of our viewers to say that people arriving here are passing through safe countries to get here, why is that happening and shouldn't it be stopped?— it be stopped? there are many countries between _ it be stopped? there are many countries between them - it be stopped? there are many countries between them once. it be stopped? there are many - countries between them once they are leaving and the uk and the truth is, most of them stay in neighbouring countries, afghanistan, iran, iraq, syria, some of the most chaotic places in the world. for those that do reach the eu or the uk, more than 90% claimed asylum in the eu rather than the uk. the question is, why are people spending this money and take this risk to take the

additional leg to which the uk, when we speak to these individuals intended to be the presence of family members, the english language, colonialties, family members, the english language, colonial ties, those sorts of things. i! it language, colonial ties, those sorts of thins. ., , language, colonial ties, those sorts ofthinas. ., , ., of things. if it does come to the country legally. _ of things. if it does come to the country legally, you _ of things. if it does come to the country legally, you say - of things. if it does come to the l country legally, you say politically it will pass through both houses but there will be legal challenges, which trumps what? is if it is uk loop law —— if it is uk law which the government wants to happen and the government wants to happen and the international law, which winds? there are no global police officers, there is no dedicated court to adjudicate on rent —— violations of the refugee convention. where international law comes in it is likely to be on international human rights, the right to not be arbitrarily detained, for example, so potentially those courts would

it is royce, it's a great save by kepa. chelsea had to score. kai havertz had the best chance to bring them level. something had to give. surely, step forward raheem sterling. sterling scores! his first goal since january. chelsea hadn't scored two in a match since december, but just after half time they were given a helping hand. it's a penalty. remarkably, havertz was once again denied by the woodwork. orwas he? the ref made him retake it. second time's a charm. same technique, this time he finds the corner! coolest man in the place. finally, the full time whistle rang round the bridge. 600 million spent by him. one major reason to smile from the manager. well, this was a huge night for chelsea's under—fire manager, graham potter. with all hope of other trophies gone this season, he needed big performances across the board and a little bit of luck. and he got both to give him a reprieve, at least, from the negative headlines. so it's chelsea and not a buoyant

dortmund that are powering into the quarterfinals. natalie pirks, bbc news, stamford bridge. how do you fancy dealing with that pressure? taking a penalty again, chelsea did well last night. you might remember the lioness winning the euros last year, and at the time it transpired that football is not be equally provided with boys and girls in primary and secondary school, but to date huge investment announced by the government, equal provision for football for boys and girls in schools. the lionesses will be delighted that the lasting legacy they were hoping for will be there. these promises are often made you wonder how quickly it will be made but it is happening. it is happening- _ but it is happening. it is happening- i— but it is happening. it is happening. i think - but it is happening. it is happening. i think a - but it is happening. it is happening. i think a lot| but it is happening. it is l happening. i think a lot of but it is happening. it is _ happening. i think a lot of matches

morning we have a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. some of it is lying, some of us will not see it at all and some of us will have some rain and some of us will have some rain and sleet. further north, walk cloud and sleet. further north, walk cloud and clearer skies with some sunshine. still some wintry showers, on windward coast. the rain, sleet and snow eases off but you can see some more coming in, and we have got the rain rather than snow but as soon as the weather front engages, with the cold air, that is when it rapidly turns to snow. this afternoon snow across parts of wales and into the middle and said it is going to be cold for most of us as well. temperatures one to 4 degrees. this evening we have this rain, across the south, we might see the odd flake but most of the snow will be across parts of wales, into the midlands and for a time we could seek some of it getting into northern england and east anglia. we

have the rain across the south in the milder air. further north, clearer skies, cold again, a widespread frost, the risk of ice in untreated surfaces. temperatures not as low, may —10. tomorrow, the next area of low pressure come in, you can see the front stretched across southern areas so the first batch of rain and sleet and snow boots through, and the second one comes in with some rain. this has slowed down from yesterday so we will get some snow in the midlands and parts of wales, northern england, possibly southern scotland. this is where the met office has the weather warnings for thursday to friday. 30 to 40 centimetres is the highest ground. not all of us in this area will seek snow at this level. but there will be snow, it will be blowing, and it

could be quite treacherous particularly the trans pennine routes. do take care if you are out and about. thank you, we have been snowed under with pictures, we will show some of those later. the lionesses' euros triumph last year inspired young girls across the country to take on football but some soon realised it wasn't possible as their school didn't offer it. it led to the women's team to write to the government and today it's been announced that every girl in england will be given the same access to school sport as boys. fi lamdin reports. you can run around, and you can pass the ball. you can try and score, you are doing what you love, and you are loving what you do. the are doing what you love, and you are loving what you do.— loving what you do. the lionesses, centre stage. _ loving what you do. the lionesses, centre stage, making _ loving what you do. the lionesses, centre stage, making history. - centre stage, making history. finally, england's footballers had a success story. inspiring girls and

con. they arejust tried and failed before —— it is a con. they are just right to cancel a silent decision making without having any return agreements in place. —— asylum decision—making. people will arrive and they will not have asylum decisions made and they will not be returned, so you will just have tens of thousands of people in asylum accommodation and hotels, that is going to be chaotic and add to the hotel problem which is completely inappropriate in the way it is working across the country. way it is working across the count . ., , , country. there are problems with the practicalities — country. there are problems with the practicalities but _ country. there are problems with the practicalities but the _ country. there are problems with the practicalities but the broad _ practicalities but the broad principle of making it illegal to arrive at the uk via an illegal route, is that something labour stands by?— route, is that something labour standsb ? ., ., ., ., , stands by? you have to have proper return agreements _ stands by? you have to have proper return agreements and _ stands by? you have to have proper return agreements and we - stands by? you have to have proper return agreements and we don't - stands by? you have to have proper. return agreements and we don't have them at the moment at the government has no process to get there. in order to have good return agreements, you have to have good cooperation with european countries and you have to have as part of it,

prosecutions, the number of convictions for smuggling gangs has halved over the last four years and the problem is getting worse. clear the problem is getting worse. clear the backlog, take fast decisions including fast returns to safe countries, and get proper return agreements which work with europe alongside having a proper controlled and managed to decision that makes their decision fairly and gets returns in place. this will carry on getting more and more chaotic if this does not happen, and that mean the uk does not play its role internationally and our border security is being undermined and we have got a complete mess that everyone has to deal with. our audience wants _ everyone has to deal with. our audience wants to _ everyone has to deal with. our audience wants to know whether labour will continue to criminalise those seeking asylum in the uk arriving by boat. that those seeking asylum in the uk arriving by boat.— those seeking asylum in the uk arriving by boat. those seeking asylum in the uk arrivin: b boat. �* ., ., arriving by boat. at the moment that is not working- _ arriving by boat. at the moment that is not working. it _ arriving by boat. at the moment that is not working. it is _ arriving by boat. at the moment that is not working. it is already, - arriving by boat. at the moment that is not working. it is already, and - is not working. it is already, and for a long time, it has been, an immigration offence to arrive by

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. if i'm frankie mccamley. you have looked outside thi morning, if you have looked outside this morning, you may have noticed it is snowing. the city of london have activated an emergency protocol for the second time with sleet and snow falling in many parts of london overnight. it means councils have to find emergency accommodation for rough sleepers. the metropolitan police has seen a huge rise in the number of dog attacks in the last five years. data obtained by the bbc found more than 80% rise, over a thousand dogs were seized last year alone and the force spent almost £1 million on vet and kennel bills. a croydon—based dog walker is calling for change. ultimately, what potential issue you have got is people just move from different areas to different areas at the moment because each

council has different licences or rules, as opposed to a unified set of guidelines or a set number of dogs that have to be, can be walked. in response a defra spokesperson said... whilst dog walkers are not currently subject to any rational debate of the number of dogs they will can walk at any one time, they must be in full control of the animals. hundreds of flats in east london have been left without drinking water after a drinking tank became contaminated. residents living in a hackney wick new build complex were notified last week that the water is no longer safe to drink. the developer says residents have since been provided with bottled water and it's working closely with thames water. it was only after we started to get the notices through that i noticed i'd been feeling a bit nauseous, and i wondered, is it that? they've still haven't told us what the chemical is. and it could affect us in lots of ways. i'm quite worried about it, it would be good to know what's happened.

let's take a look at the travel now. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello, good morning. many of us seeing snow today across the capital. this is crystal palace as recorded by one of our weather watchers earlier on this morning. and there is of course a met office weather warning in force for snow and ice valid until nine o'clock on thursday morning. there will be two main pulses of snowfall today. the first coming through this morning and the second through the evening rush—hour. a lot of that will be falling as rain. it's falling as snow this morning, sleet and snow, a covering of around one to three centimetres quite widely, a little more over the higher ground. that then spins away through the mid—to—late part of the morning to leave us with a largely dry rest of the day, temperatures only one to three celsius, so feeling bitterly cold, a few dregs of rain around before the second system approaches from the south—west into the evening rush—hour. it could cause some tricky

travelling conditions but much of this will be falling as rain. turning wintry again over the higher ground in particular. ice could be an issue as we start off thursday morning, but on thursday we will be seeing rain and not snow. if it is snowing where you are, send in your pictures using the address on the screen. that's all for now, we'll be back in half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today: the un's refugee agency criticises the government's plan to stop migrant boats crossing the channel, but the prime minister says he's �*up for the fight�*. a vigil in cardiff for three young people killed in a car crash and two others critically injured, as police are criticised for not finding them sooner. and in sport — a magic night for potter as chelsea survive the pressure of a retaken penalty to reach

the champions league quaretr finals. and parts of the uk wake up to snow after the coldest night of the year so far. good morning. the rain, sleet and snow in southern england will ease for a time and then it will come backin for a time and then it will come back in from the south—west a bit later. north of that, it is cold, frosty, risk of ice and snow showers on windward coasts and there is more snow to come as we go through the rest of this working week. i will have all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday 8th march. our main story. the un refugee agency has said it is concerned over the government's plan to stop people coming to the uk in small boats across the english channel. the organisation said proposals to prevent people from claiming asylum violated the refugees' convention. the prime minister said they are "necessary, and fair". here's our political

correspondent, iain watson. as the boats keep coming, so the political problems keep growing. rishi sunak is attempting to turn the tide and a new law aimed at deterring people coming to the uk by illegal routes. but if this doesn't stop the boats, by the time of the next election, will he have failed? if we get this right, it will make a difference. now we're in the early stages of it, but we've given it a long, hard thought and i said at the beginning of the year that, you know, i only promise what i believe i can deliver and i will absolutely deliver on what i promise. so if passed by parliament, what would the government's new law do? it'd stop almost everyone arriving in small boats from claiming asylum here. arrivals would be detained and then removed to rwanda or another safe country. and they would be banned from re—entering the uk. the government hopes this would deter people from making the hazardous channel crossing. khalid came across the channel

in a leaky dinghy in 2021 and he doesn't think a new law would stop others from doing the same. now, even seeing the numbers, numbers are even higher. they are still going to try to seek and run after that hope. and how quickly could the new system be put in place? in a letter to mp5, the home secretary, suella braverman, said "there was a more than 50% chance that the government's plans aren't compatible with international law." that would make legal challenges more likely. and the united nations high commission for refugees has said it is profoundly concerned by the government's new legislation. this is effectively closing off access to asylum in the uk for people arriving irregularly. we believe it's a clear breach of the refugee convention. and labour claims the government's plans are unworkable. enough is enough. we can't afford any more of this slogans and not solutions,

just government by gimmick, ramping up the rhetoric on refugees, but picking fights simply to have someone else to blame when things go wrong. there's clear blue water between government and opposition on how to tackle the migrant crisis, and it's an issue that's unlikely to subside before the next election. iain watson, bbc news. we're joined now by our correspondent lucy williamson who has been speaking to people in migrant camps. what did they say to you about the uk government's new plans, have they heard about them?— heard about them? some people had, some people — heard about them? some people had, some people haven't. _ heard about them? some people had, some people haven't. i _ heard about them? some people had, some people haven't. i didn't- heard about them? some people had, some people haven't. i didn't find - some people haven't. i didn't find anyone who said they were going to be deterred by them. some people honestly we just prefer to ignore what is happening. other people said, i will deal with it when it

happens. one man even said to me, i prefer to be in prison in the uk rather than stay free in france. i think that is partly about the pull of the uk, the enduring stories that people tell other, that people smugglers tell them about life in the uk, the family ties. it is about the uk, the family ties. it is about the push factors, the conditions here today is not always like this, but life for migrants in northern france has got a lot harder for the past few years because of a change in police tactics and increased patrols. in police tactics and increased atrols. . , in police tactics and increased atrols. , . ~ in police tactics and increased atrols. , ., ~ we'll be speaking to the home secetary suella baverman at 7:30. the bbc says match of the day presenter, gary lineker will be "spoken to" and "reminded of his responsibilities", over comments he made about the government's immigration plans. writing on twitter he said the language used to set out the policy, was "not dissimilar to that used by germany in the �*305". a number of conservative mps have

expressed anger at his comments — with the party's deputy chairman calling mr lineker — "out of touch". the rmt union has called off next week's strikes by members at network rail, after receiving a new pay offer. the development will raise hopes of a breakthrough in the long—running dispute between rail workers and the industry. but walk—outs at train companies are still due to go ahead next week. hundreds of people attended a vigil in cardiff last night for three young people killed in a car crash, which has left two others critically injured. it comes as the police force is being criticised over why it didn't find them sooner. our wales correspondent hywel griffith reports. a moment to honour three young lives. friends who went on a night out together and never made it home. darcy ross was 21, the same age

as her close friend eve smith. they died alongside rafeljeanne, aged 24. it was one of his friends who arranged tonight's vigil. yeah, we were very close. got a lot of memories together. been through a lot of stuff together. friends for years. pretty much, we were like brothers. i just wish obviously we knew a lot sooner and was able to see through the trees so he was found a lot earlier. could potentially saved him, maybe. the police say the car crashed early on saturday morning. it was found almost two days later after a member of the public spotted tyre tracks. the officers' response is now the subject of an independent review. for now, feelings here are a mixture of grief, shock and some anger. there's also fear that more lives are still in the balance,

as the car's two other passengers remain critically ill in hospital. the hundreds who came here tonight wanted to celebrate three lives lost and share in each other�*s sorrow. emotions are still raw here, with many questioning whether the police could have found their friends sooner. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. a weight loss jab has been approved for use by the nhs in england. semaglutide, which gained popularity in the us, makes people feel fuller, so they eat less, as annabel rackham reports. weight loss can be a lifelong battle for some people. but now a new drug designed to help obese people has been approved for use in england. the national institute for health and care excellence says semaglutide, orwegovy, is safe, effective and affordable for the nhs.

kailey wood lives in america and she's been using a similar drug to semaglutide for seven months, and has lost a third of her body weight. she says it helped when nothing else did. previously, when i would have a meal, i would fill my plate and i would have the whole plate. and it's not even that i was gorging myself. it's just i would eat everything on my plate and my body wouldn't tell me, you're full. when you take this medication, it takes the work out of telling yourself, "should i eat this? shouldn't i eat this?" you just, you stop eating when you're full, you turn down foods that maybe you wouldn't have turned down before. patients approved to use the drug will inject themselves once a week and will be allowed to stay on it for up to two years. it works by mimicking a hormone which is released after you eat and suppresses appetite by making you feel full. it has been recommended to those who have a bmi near the top of the obese range and a weight—related health condition such as high blood pressure or heart disease. but it's not without risks.

we also need to be mindful that this treatment does have a potential side effect. in this circumstance, mostly gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea and vomiting. not all patients will experience that, but it's really important that the care is there for patients to be able to ensure that the benefit is being achieved, and that they're also not suffering with side effects from the treatment. obesity is thought to cost the nhs more than £6 billion a year and there are hopes that this new drug could help reduce those figures. annabel rackham, bbc news. it's been the coldest night of the year so far with temperatures reaching minus 14 degrees in the highlands. bitter conditions are expected to last until the weekend, with the met office warning that traffic disruption and power cuts are likely across the uk.

our correspondent tomos morgan joins us from a very snowy cardiff. good morning, how is it there? it is bitterly cold. as you can see, there is about an inch or two of snow in south wales. the yellow weather warning for snow and ice will remain in place in many parts of wales, england, scotland and northern ireland up until thursday. we can see on the road, though it is starting to clear, cars are still travelling not too badly, people are driving a lot slower due to these conditions and people are warned to take care in these treacherous conditions. the met office also saying power cuts could be likely due to the snow and ice. the average temperature for the next week will be around 2 degrees, so it will be cold. the reason for this is because a change in direction of the wind,

the northerly, arctic winds are coming down, pushing the snow and ice. thankfully the semi—blizzard condition we had about an hour ago has stopped with the finest snow, but it is still bitterly cold in cardiff. ,, ., , , , cardiff. stay well wrapped up, we will be back _ cardiff. stay well wrapped up, we will be back with _ cardiff. stay well wrapped up, we will be back with you _ cardiff. stay well wrapped up, we will be back with you a _ cardiff. stay well wrapped up, we will be back with you a bit - cardiff. stay well wrapped up, we will be back with you a bit later. l cardiff. stay well wrapped up, we will be back with you a bit later. i | will be back with you a bit later. i wonder if he is at that point where you fill your fingers. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. certainly into the weekend. if we look at the overnight temperatures they fell as low as —15 in the highlands. but look at st mary's, that fell to seven and is currently sitting at 11, so there is a big difference in the temperatures north to south. we have falling snow currently, especially across southern parts of england and wales. it is notjust know, it is a mixture of rain and sleet with lying snow in

cardiff, but as i say that, some or just have rain. north of that, clear skies. it is a cold, icy and frosty start. windward coast in the north and east seeing showers throughout the day. mother conditions hanging on in the south—west, so here you will have rain rather than snow. but when precipitation bumps into the cold air is where we will see more snow coming in through the course of the afternoon. as we head through the afternoon. as we head through the rest of the afternoon in the rush hour, you can see how the rain crosses southern england. we see snow for a time in wales come into the midlands and east anglia. we have the next system waiting in the wings and that will bring more rain and at its leading edge we will see some snow. that's no through the course of tomorrow will be pushing across parts of wales, getting into the midlands, heading in the direction of northern england. it is slower than yesterday and then behind that we will see the next arm of rain coming our way and this is where the met office give their

weather warnings for thursday and friday, 15 to 20 centimetres of snow but double that on higher ground and less than that at sea level folsom. but it will be blowing and blizzards and not a pretty picture. but not all of us will see those conditions. we have got some pretty pictures. we have got some pretty pictures from viewers. let me show you. some of the frosty, snowy scenes he sent in. very, very snowy start to the day in carmarthenshire. it looks like christmas in march. that is just on the outskirts of bath. and thanks to kevin for sending this picture of his back garden in norfolk. that is a camouflage slide, i think. some warm is enjoying this. teaches the dog, very happy to get out into the snow this morning and have the god and

all to herself. peaches, you are a braver girl than i am. keep those pictures coming this morning. it gives us a sense of how far around the country it has spread. it is unusual to have such a big area. although they forewarned us, just thought it can't be true. all of a sudden, here it is. she always right. a bbc investigation has found that police forces in england and wales are recording more cases of dogs being dangerously out of control — with more than 22,000 offences last year. the number of dogs being seized is also going up, meaning police have had to spend millions on kennels and vet bills — as danny savage reports. whoa, whoa, whoa. the aftermath of a dog attack in london. police try and contain the animal with a fire extinguisher. but look at the strength in its pull. a 13—year—old child is being treated on the ground nearby. sirens. this is a growing problem in the uk.

it was a cross between a rottweiler and a shar pei. it was behind the letterbox waiting for me. it heard me coming down the path and it was ready as soon as i lifted that lid of the letterbox, the snout was there. didn't see the snout, i wasn't expecting it, but it was there and it was a clean bite. sarah king started 2022 with ten fingers. she finished it with nine. still hurts, very numb, very sensitive. there's things i can't do. holding your phone, your mobile, you actually use your full handspan. little things, definitely, it has affected me. it feels like that training dogs is of growing importance. clever boy, yes! this dog is not a dangerous animal, but more than 20,000 dog attacks on people or assistance dogs were reported last year and the number of dangerous dogs seized has soared over the last few years.

at the moment, if you've got money, you can have a dog. simple as. there's no kind of safeguards, there's no checks done. and basically, i think that's part of the problem. looking back in retrospect, could have been my throat. janet was attacked by two of her neighbour's dogs. pictures of her injuries at the time are too graphic to show. nearly a year on, she has to do physio and is expecting more operations on her arm. they were with their owner, so it was a big surprise and a big shock to be attacked. and i didn't realise how much damage a dog can do in seconds. just especially you don't see it coming. dangerous dogs are a growing problem and all too often animals are left to bite again with little meaningful action taken against owners. danny savage, bbc news. we're joined now by vet

and epidemiologist drjohn tulloch, along with dog behaviour specialist sue ketland. good sue ketland. morning. thank you for coming good morning. thank you for coming in. when you see these numbers, are you surprised or is it something you have been tracking?— have been tracking? sadly, not surrised have been tracking? sadly, not surprised as — have been tracking? sadly, not surprised as we _ have been tracking? sadly, not surprised as we have _ have been tracking? sadly, not surprised as we have seen - have been tracking? sadly, not surprised as we have seen a i have been tracking? sadly, not- surprised as we have seen a similar trend in hospital admissions to hospital admissions for dog bites in england have doubled over the last 20 years and last year at 9000 people being admitted to hospital. naughty dog of them or both? in terms of more dogs first, the rate of dog bites is faster than the growth in the dog population and thatis growth in the dog population and that is the same with what we saw with the police data, there was a greater incidence in police incidents. so greater incidence in police incidents.— greater incidence in police incidents. ., ., ., ., incidents. so more dogs are more of them badly — incidents. so more dogs are more of them badly behaved? _ incidents. so more dogs are more of them badly behaved? something - incidents. so more dogs are more of| them badly behaved? something has chanced them badly behaved? something has changed with — them badly behaved? something has changed with our _ them badly behaved? something has changed with our relationship - them badly behaved? something has changed with our relationship with i changed with our relationship with dogs, thanjust being more dogs. something else is going on. is

research. the really interesting. it is 7.24. for years, hollywood has struggled with the issue of diversity — and award ceremonies are often where the subject is placed under the spotlight. although a film with a predominantly asian cast leads this year's oscars nominations — new research has found that in its 95—year history, only 16% of all winners were women and less than 2% were women of colour. our los angeles correspondent sophie long has more. # no woman, no cry #. black panther: wakanda forever, showcases black culture. not only was it a box office hit, it also has five oscar nominations. for angela bassett, it was a long time coming. did you just think, "oh, that's wonderful?" or did you think a bit more like, "about damn time?" i would say a little bit of both. no, no, no, absolutely wonderful.

wonderful, and at this point in my career, to be any sort of inspiration for those who are coming behind, because i certainly had those that i look toward when i was starting out and it meant the world to me. but the omission of actors like viola davis for her role in the woman king led to criticism of the academy for failing to acknowledge black talent. we are doing everything we can to diversify our membership, to create mentoring programs, to really inspire more women to enter the business. and also, we have now a new program for mid—career women and just underrepresented groups. so we are not the industry, we cannot dictate hiring, but we're doing everything we can to try to level the playing field. ijust never thought i would come back here. only six of 20 nominees in the main acting categories

are people of color. among them is brian tyree henry for his role in causeway— inducted into theaacademy in 2020, i was the class of 2020, so i was able to vote, which was truly incredible. there were so... it was very diverse, the class that i was inducted with, but there's still work to be done. you know, there's still a lot of progress to be made. but at the same time, what i love is that the recognition that's coming from my peers and my contemporaries that are here, you know, we feel it. we know exactly what needs to be done and it'sjust about really moving the needle forward. there has been progress. new research shows the hashtag oscarssowhite and the movement it created eight years ago had a clear impact. 8% of nominees before oscarssowhite, the eight years before, the eight years after, 17% for people of color. that's notable, right? i mean, that's not a bad shift. it's nowhere near what it needs to be, which is 40%, which reflects the us population. that's the percentage

of underrepresented racial ethnic groups in the united states, and that's where that number should be in 2023. i can see where this story is going. but a hashtag can't change everything everywhere all at once. a combination of films that celebrate underrepresented communities and new diversity standards to be brought in next year might help. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. i'm looking forward to them this year. sophie has had a good week by that full. she has, got another couple of days left. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. if you've looked outside this

morning, you may have noticed it is snowing. it's led to city hall activating london's severe weather emergency protocol for the second time. the weather is affecting traffic across the capital, drivers are big across the capital, drivers are big a little cautious. councils have to find emergency accommodation for rough sleepers. the metropolitan police has seen a huge rise in the number of dog attacks in the last five years. data obtained by the bbc found more than a 80% rise, over a thousand dogs were seized last year alone and the force spent almost £1 million on vet and kennel bills. a croydon—based dog walker is calling for change. ultimately, what potential issue you have got is people just move from different areas to different areas at the moment because each council has different licences or rules, as opposed to a unified set of guidelines or a set number of dogs that have to be, can be walked. in response, a defra spokesperson says, whilst dog walkers don't have a limit of the number of dogs they can take out at any one time, they must be in full control of the animals.

hundreds of flats in east london have been left without drinking water after a drinking tank became contaminated. residents living in a hackney wick new build complex were notified last week that the water is no longer safe to drink. the developer says residents have since been provided with bottled water and it's working closely with thames water. it was only after we started to get the notices through that i noticed i'd been feeling a bit nauseous, and i wondered, is it that? they've still not told us what the chemical is. and it could affect us in lots of ways. i'm quite worried about it, it would be good to know what's happened. let's take a look at the travel now. lots of problems out there this morning including severe delays of the northern line and apart closure on the piccadilly, so check before you travel. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello, good morning. many of us seeing snow today across the capital.

this is crystal palace as recorded by one of our weather watchers earlier on this morning. and there is of course a met office weather warning in force for snow and ice valid until nine o'clock on thursday morning. there will be two main pulses of snowfall today. the coming through this morning and the second through the evening rush—hour. a lot of that will be falling as rain. it's falling as snow this morning, sleet and snow, a covering of around one to three centimetres quite widely, a little more over the higher ground. that then spins away through the mid—to—late part of the morning to leave us with a largely dry rest of the day, temperatures only one to three celsius, so feeling bitterly cold, a few drags of rain around before the second system approaches from the south—west into the evening rush—hour. it could cause some tricky travelling conditions but much of this will be falling as rain. turning wintry again over the higher ground in particular. ice could be an issue as we start off thursday morning, but on thursday we will be seeing rain and not snow. that's all for now, we'll be back in half an hour.

—— that's all for now, we'll be back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. we are going to speak to the home secretary in a couple of minutes' time about the government's plans. charities and politicians are reacting to the government's plans to stop migrants arriving in the uk on small boats. under the new legislation, anyone who enters illegally would be detained, swiftly removed and barred from re—entry. in the 24 hours before yesterday's announcement, nearly 200 people made the journey across the english channel. our correspondent, simonjones, is in dover this morning. is there an awareness there about these new plans?— is there an awareness there about these new plans? certainly, people here in dover— these new plans? certainly, people here in dover followed _ these new plans? certainly, people here in dover followed the - these new plans? certainly, people here in dover followed the issue i these new plans? certainly, people here in dover followed the issue of| here in dover followed the issue of small boat crossing is perhaps more closely than anywhere else in the

country. on saturdays he will get people gathering here on the white cliffs, watching as boat after boat i have my grids are brought to shore by the border force and the rl —— as boat after boat are brought to shore. it's fair to say this is a community divided and you saw that at the weekend when there was a protest organised, a small protest of people saying migrants were not welcome here, a counterprotest with people saying, refugees are welcome. i think people are united in the belief that these crossings need to belief that these crossings need to be stopped, because it is so dangerous out there in the world's busiest shipping lane, but as regards the new legislation, the feeling here is we have heard many initiatives before, and they haven't brought the numbers down to what is going to be different this time? that's the big question, simon, thank you. let's put that question to the home secretary. it will be the duty

of the home secretary to remove those arriving in the uk illegally. suella braverman joins us now from westminster. it money, thank you forjoining us, it money, thank you forjoining us, i think it is the first time we have been able to speak to you since you got yourjob. can we clear something up got yourjob. can we clear something up about the legality of this bill? the very first words at the front of it to say, there is a very good chance that these new laws will not actually be compatible with international human rights agreements. so do you think this is compatible or not? i agreements. so do you think this is compatible or not?— compatible or not? i believe that our measures — compatible or not? i believe that our measures are _ compatible or not? i believe that our measures are compatible, i compatible or not? i believe that l our measures are compatible, with the international legal obligations to which we are subject. and that you refer to the section 19 wannabe statement, of the human rights act, we have issued a statement out of an abundance of caution. we are confident we are complying with the law, domestic and international, but we are also pushing the boundaries and we are testing innovative and novel legal arguments and out of an

abundance of caution, we have issued eight section 19—1b statement, nothing unlawful about that. you eight section 19-1b statement, nothing unlawful about that. you say an abundance _ nothing unlawful about that. you say an abundance of— nothing unlawful about that. you say an abundance of caution _ nothing unlawful about that. you say an abundance of caution but - nothing unlawful about that. you say an abundance of caution but he i nothing unlawful about that. you say| an abundance of caution but he wrote an abundance of caution but he wrote a letter to mps last night saying that there is a more than 50% chance that there is a more than 50% chance that there is a more than 50% chance that the law is not compatible with the european convention on human rights, so surely that means there is a good chance that he will not be able to get this law through parliament and working in the way that you intend? i parliament and working in the way that you intend?— that you intend? i disagree with that. we that you intend? i disagree with that- we can — that you intend? i disagree with that. we can debate _ that you intend? i disagree with that. we can debate the - that you intend? i disagree with i that. we can debate the particular thresholds and levels of confidence that we all have about lawfulness, but the basic and incontrovertible point that the government is putting forward is we believe we are compliant with our legal obligations. it's necessary to take these measures which are fair, proportionate and necessary, because we need to take urgent action to stop illegal migration and stop the boats. ., ., , boats. you have said personally in the ast boats. you have said personally in the past that _ boats. you have said personally in the past that you _ boats. you have said personally in the past that you want _ boats. you have said personally in the past that you want to - boats. you have said personally in the past that you want to leave i boats. you have said personally in | the past that you want to leave the european commission on human rights anyway, is that your ultimate aim

those people in dover who are worried about it will say this is just another failed policy of small boats, anotherfailure just another failed policy of small boats, another failure to stop them. you are absolutely right that the problem has been going on forfar too long. we have had over 85,000 people travel to the united kingdom on small boats since 2018, over half of those were last year alone. this is costing the british taxpayer over £6 million per day. that is to accommodate these people in hotels around the countries, it towns and cities around the united kingdom, causing community tension, causing pressure on our resources, it cannot go on. pressure on our resources, it cannot to 011. pressure on our resources, it cannot to on. i , pressure on our resources, it cannot io on, �* , ., ~' pressure on our resources, it cannot icon, �*, .,~' , pressure on our resources, it cannot icon, �*, .,~' go on. ok, let's talk exactly about that. if it can't — go on. ok, let's talk exactly about that. if it can't go _ go on. ok, let's talk exactly about that. if it can't go on, _ go on. ok, let's talk exactly about that. if it can't go on, what - go on. ok, let's talk exactly about that. if it can't go on, what is i that. if it can't go on, what is there under these new measures you are announcing, to tell us where these people that you round up having arrived on a small boats, where they going to be detained? you are riht, where they going to be detained? gm. are right, our measures will instill

kingdom to another safe country like rwanda or back to their own home country, that actually, the numbers of people making the journey in the first place will full dramatically. you are making it sound simple but we know from their rwanda policy it is not simple. i have only a few thousand potential spaces to go to rwanda if that ever happens. it's not easy, and i don't understand where all of these people are going to be held. you where all of these people are going to be held. ., ., ., , ., to be held. you are wrong in your assumption. _ to be held. you are wrong in your assumption. or — to be held. you are wrong in your assumption, or your _ to be held. you are wrong in your assumption, or your assertion i to be held. you are wrong in your. assumption, or your assertion that the rwanda partnership is capped at a certain numerical limit, that's wrong. our partnership is uncapped, so there is a lot of provision potentially in rwanda to accommodate high numbers of people who we want to relocate from the united kingdom. i'm very pleased, and i welcome the judgment in december from i'm very pleased, and i welcome the judgment in decemberfrom the high court which tested our partnership with rwanda and found it to be

big night, big competition — the champions league — and it all hinged on a retaken penalty, would you step up to take it again if you'd missed the first? this was chelsea's kai havertz first missingh and hitting the post. but because the dortmund players had encroached into the area before the kick was taken, he got another go at it. no pressure. would you go the same way again? he did and scored this time. that made it 2—0 on the night, enough to overturn the first leg deficit. and despite that drama and chelsea's troubles, huge relief. there's always going to be those types of questions, and noise. myjob is to help the team, help the players, prepare the team as best we could. to support them, because they have been suffering as well, the players, nobody has enjoyed the run we have had. so that's why today was important for us. we wanted to progress, we have, and we are happy. a huge moment for chelsea in their

season. now to a pledge by the government, to offer girls equal access to school sport. cast your mind back, england's historic euros win last summer. but it transpired football was not being offered equally at school to boys and girls. that prompted the team to write to the government to change that and now they've promised £600 million of investment, equal access to all sport and a mimimum of two hours of pe for every child each week. and a lasting legacy after that win. "woefully inadequate." that is the assesment of michael vaughan's lawyer of the england and wales cricket board's investigation into whether the former england captain made an alleged racist comment in 2009. the closing arguments for the case — which has seen yorkshire cricket club and seven individuals, including vaughan, charged with bringing the game into disrepute — were heard yesterday. the case follows allegations made by former yorkshire player azeem rafiq. the judgment for cricket's racism hearing are set to be released in writing by the end of the month.

one of the biggest tennis tournaments outside the grand slams gets under way tonight, indian wells, with andy murray in action in the opening round. questions around emma raducanu though after suffering with tonsilitus. she didn't manage to train or play this week. so we wait to see, she hasn't played since the australian open injanuary. imean, i mean, that feels like a long time ago since she was out on court and it feels like with injuries, tonsillitis, the issues she has had, finding the right coaching setup, you are heading towards the summer and wimbledon. will she be a guaranteed entry? she might pull down the rankings and get a wild card. she wants to get back playing. the summer feels a long where await

good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today: the un's refugee agency criticises the government's plan to stop migrant boats crossing the channel, but the prime minister says he's 'up for the fight�*. a vigil in cardiff for three young people killed in a car crash and two others critically injured, as police are criticised for not finding them sooner. hello, it's malcolm, the doctor. and a month after the devastating earthquakes in turkey and syria,

we reunite a survivor with those who rescued him from the rubble. could the big banks be offering savers better rates? that's the question mps will be asking later — i'll be taking a look. and in sport,a turning point in chelsea's season? put through the pressure of a retaken penalty, relief on a magic night for graham potter. and parts of the uk wake up to snow after the coldest night of the year so far. good morning. temperatures fell to -15 good morning. temperatures fell to —15 in parts of the highlands last night. we have a mixture of rain, sleet and snow across southern england and south wales. a lot of that will peter out but we will see more snow across other parts of wales and also the midlands and later, east anglia. i will have all the detail throughout this morning's programme. it's wednesday 8th march. our main story.

the un refugee agency has said it is concerned over the government's plan to stop people coming to the uk in small boats across the english channel. the organisation said proposals to prevent people from claiming asylum violated the refugees' convention. the prime minister said they are "necessary, and fair". here's our political correspondent, iain watson. as the boats keep coming, so the political problems keep growing. rishi sunak is attempting to turn the tide and a new law aimed at deterring people coming to the uk by illegal routes. but if this doesn't stop the boats, by the time of the next election, will he have failed? if we get this right, it will make a difference. now we're in the early stages of it, but we've given it a long, hard thought and i said at the beginning of the year that, you know, i only promise what i believe i can deliver and i will absolutely deliver on what i promise. so if passed by parliament, what would the government's new law do? it'd stop almost everyone arriving in small boats from claiming asylum here. arrivals would be detained and then removed to rwanda

or another safe country. and they would be banned from re—entering the uk. the government hopes this would deter people from making the hazardous channel crossing. khalid came across the channel in a leaky dinghy in 2021 and he doesn't think a new law would stop others from doing the same. now, even seeing the numbers, numbers are even higher. because people are out of hope in calais. they are still going to try to seek and run after that hope. and how quickly could the new system be put in place? in a letter to mp5, the home secretary, suella braverman, said "there was a more than 50% chance that the government's plans aren't compatible with international law." that would make legal challenges more likely. and the united nations high commission for refugees has said it is profoundly concerned by the government's new legislation. this is effectively closing off

access to asylum in the uk for people arriving irregularly. we believe it's a clear breach of the refugee convention. and labour claims the government's plans are unworkable. the problem with what the government is putting forward is it is a con. effectively what they are trying to do is cancel asylum decision—making, but without actually having any return agreements in place. there's clear blue water between government and opposition on how to tackle the migrant crisis, and it's an issue that's unlikely to subside before the next election. iain watson, bbc news. we can speak now to our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. questions around whether this is fair, whether it is legal, but as we heard from yvette cooper, whether it is practically possible? it will heard from yvette cooper, whether it is practically possible?— is practically possible? it will be a big debate _ is practically possible? it will be a big debate in _ is practically possible? it will be a big debate in the _ is practically possible? it will be a big debate in the next - is practically possible? it will be a big debate in the next few - is practically possible? it will be - a big debate in the next few months and in the run—up to the general

election. you are going to hear we the government say we have a plan, we will be radical to try new stuff to try and deal with this problem. you will hear labour saying it is a gimmick, it's not going to work and it might make the problem worse because it won't deal with the fundamental issues they see, like breaking up criminal gangs. then there is this question about whether it is going to get through the courts at all, whether it is legal. that question has come up because of this. this is the front page of the bill the government introduced yesterday. it says from the home secretary, i am unable to make a statement that the provisions of this bill are compatible with the uk's this bill are compatible with the uk's rights on human rights convention. 50 they cannot be certain it is within international law. we have the home secretary about half an hour ago and that point was put to her. we about half an hour ago and that point was put to her.— point was put to her. we are

confident — point was put to her. we are confident we _ point was put to her. we are confident we are _ point was put to her. we are confident we are complying l point was put to her. we are - confident we are complying with the law, domestic and international, but we are— law, domestic and international, but we are also— law, domestic and international, but we are also pushing the boundaries and we _ we are also pushing the boundaries and we are — we are also pushing the boundaries and we are testing innovative and novel_ and we are testing innovative and novel arguments. and we are testing innovative and novelarguments. so and we are testing innovative and novel arguments. so out of an abundance of caution we have issued abundance of caution we have issued a section_ abundance of caution we have issued a section 19 — abundance of caution we have issued a section 19 lb statement. nothing unlawful_ a section 19 lb statement. nothing unlawful or improper about that. it unlawful or improper about that. basically unlawful or improper about that. lit basically means the uk's human rights act is compatible with its international obligations as well. what is going to happen now is, there will be a big political argument about this, the conservatives will try and make it a big issue ahead of the election. labour are going to say the plan the government has wouldn't work. i think when this does get through parliament, probably in the autumn there will be a big legal battle with some people trying to say this legislation just doesn't comply with the law, isn't fair and it means there is no real route to asylum unless you are from certain countries. what i also think that means is this debate is going to go

on and on. but the government has set itself a big test to stop the small boats. that will be tricky for the prime minister and he knows that come the general election, he will bejudged on it. aha, come the general election, he will be judged on it— come the general election, he will be judged on it. a long way to go on this oli be judged on it. a long way to go on this policy yet. _ be judged on it. a long way to go on this policy yet, thank _ be judged on it. a long way to go on this policy yet, thank you. _ this policy yet, thank you. meanwhile... the bbc says match of the day presenter, gary lineker will be "spoken to" and "reminded of his responsibilities", over comments he made about the government's immigration plans. writing on twitter he said the language used to set out the policy, was "not dissimilar to that used by germany in the 1930s". a number of conservative mps have expressed anger at his comments — with the party's deputy chairman calling mr lineker "out of touch". hundreds of people attended a vigil in cardiff last night for three young people killed in a car crash, which has left two others critically injured. it comes as the police force is being criticised over why it didn't find them sooner. our wales correspondent hywel griffith reports.

a moment to honour three young lives. friends who went on a night out together and never made it home. darcy ross was 21, the same age as her close friend eve smith. they died alongside rafeljeanne, aged 24. it was one of his friends who arranged tonight's vigil. yeah, we were very close. got a lot of memories together. been through a lot of stuff together. friends for years. pretty much, we were like brothers. i just wish obviously we knew a lot sooner and was able to see through the trees so he was found a lot earlier. could potentially saved him, maybe. the police say the car crashed early on saturday morning. it was found almost two days later after a member of the public spotted tyre tracks. the officers' response

is now the subject of an independent review. for now, feelings here are a mixture of grief, shock and some anger. there's also fear that more lives are still in the balance, as the car's two other passengers remain critically ill in hospital. the hundreds who came here tonight wanted to celebrate three lives lost and share in each other�*s sorrow. emotions are still raw here, with many questioning whether the police could have found their friends sooner. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. the rmt union has called off next week's strikes by members at network rail, after receiving a new pay offer. the development will raise hopes of a breakthrough in the long—running dispute between rail workers and the industry. but walk—outs at train companies are still due to go ahead next week.

now, you may remember that last week we launched the country's biggest short story competition here on breakfast — 500 words. as part of our coverage i went to film at st elizabeth's primary school in litherland with author frank cottrell—boyce. well, the school tweeted yesterday to say they were so delighted to receive a £100 book voucher from frank and a lovely note to say how impressed he was with the children we filmed with. 500 words relies on thousands of volunteer first round judges to read all of the incredible stories. they're on the hunt for teachers, teaching assistants, librarians and sen staff — whether in post, training or are retired. so if that's you — follow the link on screen and apply now.

thank you so much to the thousands of you who have welcomed the challenge. what a fun job, reading short stories. 8.11... it's been the coldest night of the year so far with temperatures reaching minus 15 degrees in the highlands. bitter conditions are expected to last until the weekend, with the met office warning that traffic disruption and power cuts are likely across the uk. our correspondent tomos morgan joins us from a very snowy cardiff. right on cue, we have got the snow. how is it there? l right on cue, we have got the snow. how is it there?— how is it there? i thought it was actually cooling _ how is it there? i thought it was actually cooling a _ how is it there? i thought it was actually cooling a little - how is it there? i thought it was actually cooling a little bit, - how is it there? i thought it was actually cooling a little bit, not i actually cooling a little bit, not any more, but in terms of these snowy blizzard conditions. but if anything, it is getting stronger and

worse. lovely flakes falling here. the traffic is still moving, but moving a lot slower than probably they would be due to these treacherous conditions. you mentioned this will last until the weekend, this cold snap. that is because of a change of direction in the wind. northerly winds bringing down the arctic temperature, making it cooler. there was snow and ice and yellow weather warnings lasting in a number parts of wales, scotland, england and northern ireland until thursday. the met office warning, several weather warnings for travel disruption, possible power cuts. today, one of the places they are most concerned about are sections of the m4 which links parts of wales and london. i guess today, making sure people wrap up guess today, making sure people wrap up warm because it is bitterly cold. the average temperature until the end of the week is probably only

going to be 2 degrees and many predicted that even though we saw “14, it predicted that even though we saw —1li, it could get even colder in some areas of the highlands overnight. some areas of the highlands overnight-— some areas of the highlands overniaht. ., ,, , i. overnight. can you still feel your finaers at overnight. can you still feel your fingers at this — overnight. can you still feel your fingers at this point, _ overnight. can you still feel your fingers at this point, i _ overnight. can you still feel your fingers at this point, i am - overnight. can you still feel your| fingers at this point, i am worried about them? l fingers at this point, i am worried about them?— about them? i can still feel my finuers, about them? i can still feel my fingers. i _ about them? i can still feel my fingers, i note _ about them? i can still feel my fingers, i note that _ about them? i can still feel my fingers, i note that jon - about them? i can still feel my fingers, i note that jon is - about them? i can still feel my i fingers, i note that jon is missing fingers, i note thatjon is missing out being out here today. flan fingers, i note that jon is missing out being out here today. can you feel our out being out here today. can you feel your ears? _ out being out here today. can you feel your ears? are _ out being out here today. can you feel your ears? are you _ out being out here today. can you feel your ears? are you missing i out being out here today. can you | feel your ears? are you missing it? no! it is 8.13 and carol can tell us how long it's going on for. she has some stunning pictures from orkney. this picture shows the snow we've had in the northern isles. it is still wintry here, but we have been focused more in the south of england where we do have some lying snow. but it is not all snow in the south. parts of wales and also southern england towards the midlands and into the far south—east, we have a

mixture of rain, sleet and snow. we clearly saw the snow falling in cardiff, of course. further north we have clear skies and it has been a cold night with frost and ice on untreated surfaces and wintry showers along windward coast. the temperature last night fell to —15 in the highlands, making it the coldest night of the year so far. through today, we are in the milder air in the south—west and the channel islands. you are more likely to have rain. you might see the odd flake of snow further north, but it is across wales and into the midlands and later east anglia where we are expecting the snow through the day. north of that, a lot of dry weather, further sunshine but feeling cold. into this evening and overnight, the rain moves across southern counties, more snow to come across parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia. some of that getting into northern england before it starts to peter out and we have some further snow showers across the far north of scotland. we don't expect it to be as cold tonight, as it was

last night in the high lines. it could fell to minus ten or below, but still mild in the south—west and there is more potential snow to come across northern england, the midlands, wales and southern scotland thursday into friday. thank you very much. let's see some of the frosty and snowy pictures you've been sending in via our new whatsapp number. steve from woolton hill in berkshire sent in this picture of his snowfilled garden. alex in swansea sent us this snowy snap of his garden. and gracie the golden retriever is frolicking in her garden this

morning in whiltshire. is morning in whiltshire. that a snowball or a tennis 1 is that a snowball or a tennis ball in her mouth? it looks like a snowball. it looks like she is posing. keep those pictures coming. thanks forjoining us on this chilly wednesday morning. 8.16. it's been one month since devastating earthquakes hit turkey and syria, killing more than 50,000 people. but, as well as stories of heartbreak there were also many of hope. here on breakfast we've brought you the remarkable tale of dr malcolm russell — who, along with his team, rescued a man who had been trapped under the rubble in turkey for five days. now, serdal has been able to meet those who saved his life, as tim muffett reports. this is what bravery looks like. the earthquake happened on the monday and we were well into the deployment, and on friday one of our team heard

some knocking and some voices. the building they were in was a hotel that had collapsed. 77 volunteers from the uk international search and rescue team and four specially trained dogs had been flown to turkey shortly after the devastating earthquake. this particular rescue was our most prolonged for the entire period of time we were there. ten metres of breaching through concrete with a mixture of tools, hand tools that we're literally trying to get things into buckets, pass them back. groaning. after 20 hours, the team found and rescued a woman who'd been entombed in a tight space for four days but was otherwise uninjured. she alerted them to another man, serdal, who was still trapped. serdal was passing in and out of consciousness, so we knew he was more critically ill. hello. it's malcolm, the doctor.

it seemed that his legs were trapped underneath a sort of concrete block. and at that point, that's where we have to start making decisions about what's going to happen next to the rescue. and you were chosen to actually do the extraction. why was that? i'm quite a small and nimble member of the team, and these voids are very, very small. getting serdal out took several more hours. in hospital, he tweeted his thanks to malcolm, sarah and the rest of the team, but he also wanted to talk to them. you're about to speak to serdal, what's going through your mind? i'm slightly intrigued as to what he's going to remember. we were in some very, very tight and awkward positions. but you kind of you build an attachment to someone when you're in there for that long. you never really get to recontact people that you rescue, so this is a complete one off. malcolm. hello, nice to see you. serdal.

my mummy. we are so happy. she say, thank you very much, very much. - ah, it's our pleasure. oh, she's beautiful. thank you. you are my hero. always be, you know. oh, that means a lot to us. and we're very, we're really, really pleased. the whole team is so excited to hear that we were getting to speak to you. it's understandably emotional, but this is also a rare chance for malcolm and sarah to learn more about someone they've rescued. serdal�*s words are spoken by an interpreter. did you end up having any injuries other than dehydration? translation: i can't walk easily.

the leg muscle is a little bit tired. i that's the only problem. wow! did you know how long you'd been there by the time we came to you? translation: in the building i don't remember the time or the date. - there was no light, no food or water. l it was like i was in a dream. you're very courageous, having kept your spirits going through such a long time. thank you all. thank you. hello, serdal, it's tim here from bbc? hello. what is it like to speak to malcolm and to sarah? translation: amazing for me to see malcolm and sarah. - they are my light, _ they brought me back to life. i'm so appreciated, | i owe them my life. we're just delighted to hear that you've done so well. the whole team is really, really pleased and excited for you. goodbye.

bye. bye, serdal. what's it like to speak to the man whose life you saved? oh, that was just... yeah, like i said this doesn't normally happen. normally, in our dayjobs, we normally don't have contact again from anyone that we've rescued or a patient. so to actuallyjust see him again is completely different from the image that i had from when we were in hatay. yeah, it was amazing, really. it was, it was quite emotional to see when his daughter came on and his mother, you know, the impact that it's had on his whole, whole family. one of 12 lives saved by the uk team in turkey amidst a disaster that killed tens of thousands of people. a story of bravery, endurance and immense skill that ended well. tim muffett, bbc news. at least one story that ended well. after everything they had gone through and all they went too, must

have been wonderful to be reunited for the happy ending. higher interest rates should mean better rates for savers, but despite banks saying deals are available — customers are not seeing the benefit. mps want to know why, and have asked leaders of the financial conduct authority to explain. hannah has the details. we talk about the rising cost of living, people getting into debt but we don't talk so much about those savers who are out there. so let's have a run through it. let's go back to the beginning and take a look at where we are now with interest rates and how we got here. since the financial crisis in 2008, they had been at historically low levels, hovering at around 0.5%. this was because the bank of england didn't want us saving our money — it wanted to encourage spending to get the economy going. but that all started to change at the end of 2021 in response

to high levels of cheap borrowing during the pandemic. since then interest rates have been going up — first to tackle the rising cost of living fuelled by the war in ukraine, and secondly in response to september's mini budget, which created a lot of economic uncertainty. the base rate set by the bank of england is now li%. but customers are complaining that the mortgage rates offered by high street banks have risen more quickly than what they offer on savings accounts. bank bosses disagree. if we look at the numbers — according to uswitch, the average two—year fixed—rate mortgage rate in the uk is now 5.1%, with up to four million households set to see their payments rise this year. meanwhile easy access savings accounts seem to be hovering just over 3% — the best one i could find this morning so far is 3.4%. that's just one of several issues that will be discussed at a hearing

in parliament this afternoon — and with the budget only a week away you can be sure the cost of living will come up in that hearing. and staying on interest rates, we're joined now by dave fishwick, whose community bank in burnley was immortalised in the netflix film 'bank of dave'. you have gone all hollywood? lit you have gone all hollywood? it hit number one — you have gone all hollywood? it hit number one and _ you have gone all hollywood? it hit number one and we _ you have gone all hollywood? lit “1 it number one and we were so lucky. normally they spend about $400 million getting a number one. life million getting a number one. we didn't do that with mine. let's talk about money, following on from what hannah was saying, a lot of use not seeing any interest rates on any savings but they are being told immediately their mortgage has gone up. immediately their mortgage has gone u -. ~ , immediately their mortgage has gone u. ~ , ., , immediately their mortgage has gone up. why does that happen? to be honest, up. why does that happen? to be honest. banks — up. why does that happen? to be honest, banks are _ up. why does that happen? to be honest, banks are just _ up. why does that happen? to be honest, banks are just not - up. why does that happen? to be| honest, banks are just not playing the game. they make a fortune, send money all over the world buying credit default swaps, all sorts of complicated weapons of mass destruction, i call them.

the fairness in that? they have cut their overheads, they are closing 60 branches a month, that is what they did last year. there were two today closing, one this morning and after i have had my dinner, there will be another one this afternoon. we cannot carry on closing banks at that rate. interest rates need to be fair and then bank bonuses are going up. we are cutting costs with banks closing, they getting rid of lots of stuff, you know, they are shutting everything everywhere. there is nowhere for people to go for financial advice, nowhere for people to go for financialadvice, but nowhere for people to go for financial advice, but they are charging a fortune for loans and they are doing it with absolutely nothing in return to the saver. would they say what happened in 2008 and the financial crisis and the credit crunch, we need banks to be resilient and they need to make money when they can make money, so when it is not so easy, they have got some, should i say money in the bank? , ., ., �* bank? they do say if we don't pay these bonuses _ bank? they do say if we don't pay these bonuses of— bank? they do say if we don't pay these bonuses of 30 _ bank? they do say if we don't pay these bonuses of 30 to _ bank? they do say if we don't pay these bonuses of 30 to 40 - bank? they do say if we don't pay. these bonuses of 30 to 40 million, these bonuses of 30 to 40 million, the best of the bankers will

the weather is affecting traffic across the capital, this is the a232 in bromley, drivers are being extra cautious. commuters in brixton told us the weather can be concerning when heating bills are going up. i'm lucky, we are still both working full time so it is a little bit easier because we are at work all day. but some weeks it can be a struggle with weather like this. just saving energy, you know, just i don't want to use the central heating. just only the electric fire when i need it. the metropolitan police has seen a huge rise in the number of dog attacks in the last five years. data obtained by the bbc found more than a 80% rise, over a thousand dogs were seized last year alone. a croydon—based dog walker is calling for change. ultimately, what potential issue you have got is people just move from different areas to different areas at the moment because each council has different licences or rules, as opposed to a unified

set of guidelines or a set number of dogs that have to be, can be walked. in response, a defra spokesperson says, whilst dog walkers don't have a limit of the number of dogs they can take out at any one time, they must be in full control of the animals. some of next week's rail strikes have been suspended after the rmt union agreed a new offer from network rail. members had been due to walk out next thursday and saturday. the action planned by rmt members who work for the train operating companies has not been called off, and the tube strike next wednesday is also still on. let's take a look at the travel now. there is ice on the district line causing minor delays. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello, good morning. many of us seeing snow today across the capital. this is crystal palace as recorded by one of our weather watchers earlier on this morning.

and there is of course a met office weather warning in force for snow and ice valid until nine o'clock on thursday morning. there will be two main pulses of snowfall today. the coming through this morning and the second through the evening rush—hour. a lot of that will be falling as rain. it's falling as snow this morning, sleet and snow, a covering of around one to three centimetres quite widely, a little more over the higher ground. that then spins away through the mid—to—late part of the morning to leave us with a largely dry rest of the day, temperatures only one to three celsius, so feeling bitterly cold, a few dregs of rain around before the second system approaches from the south—west into the evening rush—hour. it could cause some tricky travelling conditions but much of this will be falling as rain. turning wintry again over the higher ground in particular. ice could be an issue as we start off thursday morning, but on thursday we will be seeing rain and not snow. sendin send in your snowing pictures to the

usual address. that's all for now, we'll be backjust after nine. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. the lionesses' euros triumph last year inspired young girls across the country to take on football but some soon realised it wasn't possible as their school didn't offer it. it led to the women's team to write to the government and today it's been announced that every girl in england will be given the same access to school sport as boys. fi lamdin reports. you can run around, and you can pass the ball. you can try and score, you are doing what you love, and you are loving what you do. the lionesses, centre stage, making history. finally, england's footballers had a success story. inspiring girls and women right across the country. but this was just the beginning. they had even bigger plans.

we set out to inspire the next generation, we set out to inspire the nation. but girls in sport, i think it can be a really big turning point and that's what we are really excited for. seven months on, coinciding with international women's day, the government is now promising equal access in sport in schools to girls and boys. if the boys are playing football, the girls can too, if the boys are playing rugby, the girls can too, cricket, etc so we make sure there is more equality of access for all girls to be able to play all sports. and the promise of two hours of pe per week. it feels really brilliant because just knowing that everyone is equal is really important. i'm really glad because i think that everyone should be equal and everyone should get the same amount of sport. for the lionesses and their captain, it's exactly what they have been waiting for. when we look back, we will notjust be remembering the incredible moments we experienced ourselves, but we are paying that forward, and we will be able to see women's

football grow in the way that it should with the opportunities that it deserves. and the cost, over £600 million across the next two years, for pe and sport premium. in a cost of living crisis, many will say, why are you spending millions on sport right now? we often talk about prevention, we talk about children's mental health, we often talk about fitness and obesity. this is a big part of making sure that all children have access to all sports. they may not like every sport but they will get access to a wide range of sports. it is a big announcement, welcomed vby baroness sue campbell, who, for the last 50 years, has paved the way for women's participation in sport. i think this is a landmark moment for physcial education and school sport. it's an acceptance that it is important, it's not nice to do in schools, it's a need to do. notjust the physical developers of young people,

their emotional well— being, and their happiness. it makes me immensely proud of the lionesses, they did a wonderfuljob winning the euros in the summer but this is as big a win today for every child in the country. this feels a very special day. after their victory, the lionesses wanted to create real change. with today's commitment of equality, time and money, women's football and women's sport will never be the same again. fiona lamdin, bbc news. joining us now is stephanie hilborne, chief executive of the charity women in sport. i think what was most surprising to us this morning was that this wasn't already happening. l us this morning was that this wasn't already happening-— us this morning was that this wasn't already happening. i think the equal rovision already happening. i think the equal provision for — already happening. i think the equal provision for team _ already happening. i think the equal provision for team sport _ already happening. i think the equal provision for team sport is - already happening. i think the equal provision for team sport is being - already happening. i think the equal provision for team sport is being a l provision for team sport is being a major issue, because there is still 20% fewer girls than boys that play team sports. football is one of them. the really extraordinary thing

is we have not until this day been committed to offering football, rugby and cricket to girls at the same way that we do boys. the lionesses have made such a difference here, and sue campbell, all credit to them, because women's football has its own huge story, and the women who are banned from football in the 1920s and used to go and raise charity by and make a different society, that's what the disc —— lionesses have done here. we should offer the same, it's madness not to. its should offer the same, it's madness not to. , , , , ., not to. its seeing is believing for ounu not to. its seeing is believing for young girls- _ not to. its seeing is believing for young girls- 600 _ not to. its seeing is believing for young girls. 600 million - not to. its seeing is believing for young girls. 600 million in - not to. its seeing is believing for. young girls. 600 million in funding over the next two years to back this policy, how will that be spent? let's be clear, this is £600 million is going to the primary schools over two—year periods for pe, sport and premium for all kits covered are just girls. and there is —— for all kids, notjust girls. there are also

events to support schools, also going to boys and girls. the big announcement is that the commitment that the same type of sport should be offered to girls and boys, this isn't going all the girls sport to be clear. schools are facing an enormous challenge at the moment, and they are doing a crediblejob is to try to meet the kids because in the end, as sue says, children benefit so easily well for this. our charity is passionate that the critical needs of girls can be met through sport. we know that girls particularly suffer from mental health problems and the lionesses have demonstrated the joy and freedom that sport can give you, particularly team sport. we want it to be about what the girls can do

and feel like and less about what they look like. this week our charity published research about girls under a age of 11, and we know there is still stereotyping it society. 50 this will go to some way to adjust those stereotypes which is that girls should look pretty and do dance and gym and boys to do the rough—and—tumble play football. there is so much to be learned through team sport, notjust about fitness and agility, there outdoor big team sports teach you so much about teamwork and just letting go. i think there's something about team sport which is very special. that sense of collective cause, that sense of collective cause, that sense of collective cause, that sense of connection to each other, the way that people will do things for each other to win that game, it not just for each other to win that game, it notjust is solely about for each other to win that game, it not just is solely about you. for each other to win that game, it notjust is solely about you. the leadership you develop, the resilience, the lionesses showed that during the tournament, the

resilience you build as a person, notjust on resilience you build as a person, not just on that resilience you build as a person, notjust on that pitch, is so important. it's something that women and girls have missed out on for many years and of course some boys but particularly women and girls. 50 we are really passionate to see team sport massively improve. that offering needs to be at school, in the community, there are very few opportunities for team sport for girls of the community. and it is about the role that it plays when it comes to physical activity. girls are going into primary school with less physical literacy, less fundamental movement skills, we call them the boys, because although parents are doing the bestjob they can, they are not valuing sport for girls as much as they tend to for boys because they think they are not going to have trouble at school if they aren't good at football like they aren't good at football like they might do if they are boys. we have a lot of deeply rooted cultural issues, we have got to address that

the national institute for health and care excellence says semaglutide, orwegovy, is safe, effective and affordable for the nhs. kailey wood lives in america and she's been using a similar drug to semaglutide for seven months, and has lost a third of her body weight. she says it helped when nothing else did. previously, when i would have a meal, i would fill my plate and i would have the whole plate. and it's not even that i was gorging myself. it's just i would eat everything on my plate and my body wouldn't tell me, you're full. when you take this medication, it takes the work out of telling yourself, "should i eat this? shouldn't i eat this?" you just, you stop eating when you're full, you turn down foods that maybe you wouldn't have turned down before. patients approved to use the drug will inject themselves once a week and will be allowed to stay on it for up to two years. it works by mimicking a hormone which is released after you eat and suppresses appetite by making you feel full. it has been recommended

to those who have a bmi near the top of the obese range and a weight—related health condition such as high blood pressure or heart disease. but it's not without risks. we also need to be mindful that this treatment does have a potential side effect. in this circumstance, mostly gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea and vomiting. not all patients will experience that, but it's really important that the care is there for patients to be able to ensure that the benefit is being achieved, and that they're also not suffering with side effects from the treatment. obesity is thought to cost the nhs more than £6 billion a year and there are hopes that this new drug could help reduce those figures. annabel rackham, bbc news. let's get more on this. we're joined now by jane deville—almond from the british obesity society. good morning, thank you forjoining

this drug. we have got a massive obesity problem in the uk. if everyone were to go to their gp tomorrow and request it, then they would run out of the drug. and we wouldn't be able to monitor people. and i think it's important that a drug like this, when people start it, they are looked after so we can ensure that the drug is actually working. we ensure that the drug is actually workinu. ~ ., ., working. we saw in that film how it was administered _ working. we saw in that film how it was administered by _ working. we saw in that film how it was administered by injection i working. we saw in that film how it was administered by injection into l was administered by injection into the stomach. is that right? can anybody put it do that? it’s the stomach. is that right? can anybody put it do that?- anybody put it do that? it's not like a rejection _ anybody put it do that? it's not like a rejection like _ anybody put it do that? it's not like a rejection like we - anybody put it do that? it's not like a rejection like we think. anybody put it do that? it's not like a rejection like we think of| like a rejection like we think of the old—fashioned injections, these are neat little, very similar to its innate, you hardly feel the injection going in. you hold it against your stomach and you press a button. —— it's similar to insulin. it'sjust once a button. —— it's similar to insulin. it's just once a week so it is to odious for the patient to give themselves the injection. —— it isn't too odious. there are lots of

drug, that habit stays with you. but when people lose weight they will often go back to the bad old ways because who doesn't love a doughnut quebec, a cream cake, sugary foods? it surrounds us in our everyday life. once people come off the drug, there is a chance that they will go back to their own ways. that's just some people, some people it will be an absolute breakthrough for them and it will change their life. interesting, we will have to monitor it over the months ahead. please don't bring up doughnuts, not break up don't bring up doughnuts, not break up doughnuts, i mean, talk about doughnuts, at this time of the body, we are starving! l do doughnuts, at this time of the body, we are starving!— we are starving! i do want a doughnut- _ we are starving! i do want a doughnut- l _ we are starving! i do want a doughnut. i am _ we are starving! i do want a doughnut. i am now- we are starving! i do want a i doughnut. i am now desperate for we are starving! i do want a - doughnut. i am now desperate for a douahnut doughnut. i am now desperate for a doughnut like _ doughnut. i am now desperate for a doughnut like homer— doughnut. i am now desperate for a doughnut like homer simpson! i the mother of a woman who vanished from her boyfriend's yacht in the caribbean two years ago says she believes her daughter is dead. sarm heslop was reported missing by ryan bane

from his catamaran in march 2021. her mother says they won't give up on finding answers as ben moore reports. i feel i should grieve. i don't know how to. you just feel empty inside, my heart's broken. i gave her that dress. two years on and the pain of not knowing what happened to her daughter does not lessen for brenda. i don't believe she's still alive. i wish, we can find out, bring her home. sarm heslop had been in the us virgin islands for just three weeks before she went missing. she was living with her american boyfriend, ryan bane, on his catamaran, the siren song, around the island of stjohn. they'd been out for a meal and he says they returned to the boat. he reported sarm missing to police at 2.30 in the morning. it's not possible she is missing. sarm would never put her family and friends through this torment,

through this gut—wrenching heartache. despite being advised to call the coastguard immediately, ryan bane only did so around noon the next day, nearly nine hours later. his lawyer has since denied any request to search the boat. and in two years, ryan bane has not been interviewed by virgin islands police. they need to be exposed, that they're not doing theirjob and they're not being human beings. they're not looking after us as they should be. vicky is one of sarm's best friends. they were cabin crew together. she's part of a large group called find sarm, who are keeping the pressure on. i think we need something massively to change within the vipd about how they work or what they're doing or who is doing it. i think they need to look in other areas that maybe they haven't looked in. cctv showing sarm leaving the bar

has not been released and the family have been told ryan bane's call to the coastguard wasn't recorded due to a technical error. we want it to change so there's a full and proper investigation and we want the cctv to be released. we just can't believe that hasn't happened here. the bbc has contacted the virgin islands police department and ryan bane's lawyer, but so far there's been no response. previously, ryan bane's lawyer has said his client is devastated and heartbroken by sarm's disappearance. i don't think she's going to suddenly walk through the door, and i know we've lost her. but what is harder is that we can't put that to bed and to rest and to grieve in a way that is needed, because we are still fighting forjustice and answers. i imagine her as a mermaid because she loved the ocean. she loved to swim and she loved the creatures in the ocean. do you think you will ever get the answers? i can't think about closure because it's just so ongoing and we won't give up.

ben moore, bbc news. it is 8:53am. there will be people waking up across europe this morning with feelings of pure elation, and others bitterly disappointed, following yesterday's race to get tickets to the eurovision song contest. nine shows sold out in 90 minutes with the live final being snapped up in half—an—hour. but if you didn't secure a place in the crowd, don't worry, you're not alone. tv presenter richard osman missed out, tweeting his only hope now is to sing the uk entry. even sam queck, who's presenting the opening ceremony, didn't beat the rush to the grand final.
