on display in the uk, we meet 99—year—old veteran bert, ahead of remembrance sunday. and coming up on bbc news: dublin awaits as ireland renew their rivalry with the all blacks in a repeat of last year's rugby world cup quarterfinal. good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. parents have been "paying over the odds" for baby milk because of a lack of competition in the formula market, a government watchdog has said. it stopped short of recommending price controls, but said they remain a possibility. our business correspondent marc ashdown reports. it can be one of the big costs for new parents. not everyone can or wants to breast—feed, so formula is used by millions to feed their

babies, but this report finds too many people end up paying over the odds. you just had to take what was there. there wasn't much choice on this. price as well? so you went for cheap or expensive, thinking it was going to be better? no, expensive. it was our first child. i would probably go - for a more trusted name than an unknown one. even if you had to pay more? if i had the money, then yes, i would. i the competition and market authority's interim report said the baby milk industry needs a shake—up to help parents who are struggling to afford it. it found there is often a lack of timely, clear and impartial information for parents and carers about formula. there is limited competition on prices because the market is regulated, so promotions such as loyalty points or discounts are banned. prices havejumped between 18 and 36% in just two yea rs. the report found parents could save up to £500 over a baby's first year of life by switching

to a lower—priced brand. there isn't much competition anyway, because just a handful of companies account for the vast majority of the market. the cma also highlights that, by law, all infant formula has to meet a child's nutritional needs, so paying extra for a product doesn't mean it will be any better. part of the issue seems to be public health targets to encourage more people to breast—feed. the founder of mumsnet says parents need choice but should be protected from spiralling costs. after a year, i think only half a percent of mothers are still breast—feeding in this country, compared to 23% in germany and 27% in the us, so it hasn't worked as a policy, and all it has done is raise the cost of formula for parents. some parents have no choice but to use formula, and they really can't afford, at this time, to be paying these inflated prices. of the major players, danone said it would engage with the cma, and nestle has previously recommended the investigation. the watchdog stopped short

of recommending price controls but said changes are needed to prevent parents from shouldering ever—increasing costs. marc ashdown, bbc news. 0ur cost of living correspondent kevin peacheyjoins me now. kevin, what's the reaction been to this? major suppliers have told us they are looking closely at this report, happy to work with the cma for some solutions. but as mentioned, this is a sector they believe is in need of a sector they believe is in need of a shake—up. parents are paying £500 over the odds in the first year of their baby's life. even if there is no price cap, there are plenty of solutions and options on the table. for example you may go around a supermarket and see price promotions for products everywhere. at every turn. but they are banned for baby formula mode to encourage breast—feeding which the nhs says it

held the other children. the cma is suggesting may that ban should be lifted to encourage price competition. that is one possibility. another is on branding, a suggestion maybe there should be brand free baby formula in hospitals, perhaps an nhs branded formula, or different branding for baby formula and follow—on formula. the options are on the table. it will go to consultation and a final report is expected in february. kevin peachy. the foreign secretary david lammy has told the bbc that his past criticisms of donald trump were "old news". in 2019 mr lammy described mr trump as "deluded, dishonest, xenophobic and narcissistic". 0ur political correspondent hannah miller has more. during donald trump's first presidency, there was no shortage of

labour politicians making big statements about his character, among them the foreign secretary, david lammy, who was then a backbencher. so, april 2019, you said, "deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic — donald trump is no friend of britain". have you changed your mind or is that still your view? this is old news. here, chris, i'm sitting here as foreign secretary. i've had a meal with donald trump, i've met donald trump. did you talk about this stuff? did he bring it up? not even vaguely. i've got to say, i found him to be a very gracious host. did he offer you a second portion of chicken? he didn't offer me a second portion of chicken. he was very generous, very gracious, very keen to make sure that we felt relaxed and comfortable in his surroundings. he was funny. david lammy�*s decision to do this interview isn't really about whether donald trump is

listening, it's an attempt to draw a line under the comments that have become awkward for him in recent days. for the government trump's election poses a potential challenge notjust internationally but here in westminster, too, with opposition parties spying an opportunity they are keen to exploit. the prime minister and foreign secretary met him in september. earlier this week, the new tory leader sought to make things as awkward as possible for the prime minister by repeating david lammy�*s comments. trump is not only a woman—hating, neo—nazi sociopath, he is also a profound threat to the international order. and if he did not apologise, will the prime minister do so now on his behalf? the foreign secretary and i did meet president—elect trump just a few weeks ago for dinner for about a couple of hours and we discussed a number of issues of global significance. it was a very constructive exercise. in the aftermath of trump's win, the liberal democrat leader described him as a dangerous, destructive

demagogue, but today spoke of the need to have a relationship. i do believe we need to work with the new american government. it is essential. they are a close ally. but we've got to use the opportunity to try to persuade them of a different approach, particularly on ukraine, but also on trade. and you can only do that if you engage. the government has indicated it intends tojudge donald trump by his actions, not his words. ministers may be hoping president trump does the same. hannah miller, bbc news. you can hear the full newscast interview with the foreign secretary david lammy on bbc sounds and iplayer. in the us, donald trump is continuing to appoint his top team. in a minute, we'llspeak to our correspondent helena humphry who's in florida near the president—elect�*s team headquarters. but first, we're joined by anna foster in washington dc. anna, we learned who'll be president days ago, but some results

still coming in. that is right, one left, the state of arizona. in the early hours we found donald trump has taken the state of nevada. these things don't really make any difference any more, donald trump is well past the 270 electoral college votes he needed to become the next president, he has also won the popular vote with more votes overall, people casting their ballots. it shows more about the scale of his victory. in nevada, it was a swing state we have been talking about, he has won six out of seven of them. no republican presidential candidate has taken that state in 20 years. again it looks like the economy really resonated, he went to las vegas and promised waiting staff they would not have to pay tax on tips. kamala harris said that two months later

than he did. he clearly had the momentum. again it looks like the economy resonated with the latino vote. not too long ago we were talking about those remarks puerto rico being a floating island of garbage, we thought that would lose him the vote but it didn't. it shows the impressive scale of donald trump's victory. 0ur correspondent helena humphry is in florida, where trump is currently based. helena, what do we know about the plans that being made where you are? you definitely get a sense here in florida this is the epicentre of this transition of power, donald trump is expected to spend a weekend here, working on executive orders which he will sign off on when he returns to the white house in 73 days. he has already named his chief of staff, susie wiles, she served as his co—chair on his campaign in the

presidential race, the first woman in history to hold that position. donald trump paid tribute to her in his victory speech calling her an ice lady. it will be a formidable position. previously donald trump cycled through four appointees in that role. you get the sense of networking, people coming to florida, vying for top positions. remember that many people in the inner circle, the likes of steve bannon and others, were sentenced to prison time as well. in terms of those priorities, it is fair to say there is anxiety because donald trump has promised again to carry out that mass deportation of undocumented immigrants no matter the cost, he says. helena humphry. you can get the latest on donald trump's return to the white house daily from the americast podcast — available to listen

she was really kind and she was the life of the party. she was everyone's auntie susie. i think susan always held a wee bit of extra weight and she just wanted to do something a bit different this time to try to lose weight may be a bit quicker. there were never any health concerns. she wasn't on any other medication. with a holiday coming up, susan visited an online pharmacy and was prescribed tirzepatide under the brand name mounjaro. initially, she experienced minor side effects. but after two weeks on the lowest dose, she became very ill. she had severe sickness and went to a&e just a couple of days after the stomach pain started. it was two days after she was in accident and emergency that she basically went into a coma. and didn't wake up from it. and as she was in the coma, every organ started to fail. susan died in early september at the age of 58. her death certificate lists the cause of death as multiple organ failure,

septic shock, pancreatitis, and use of prescribed tirzepadide was approved for use as a weight loss aid in the uk in 2023 by the medicines regulator the mhra. mhra runs the yellow card scheme... it runs yellow card scheme where any member of the public health profession can log reports of suspected side—effects. between january and may this year, there have been 208 reports about tirzepatide, including 31 classed as serious. and one suspected death of a man in his 60s. a spokesperson for lilly which produces mounjaro in the uk said: patient safety is lilly's top priority. mounjaro was approved on extensive assessment of the benefits and risks of the medicine. a spokesperson for the mhra said this. our sincere sympathies are with the family of the individual concerned. no medicine would be approved unless it met our expected standards of safety, quality and effectiveness. tirzepatide is one of a group weight

loss drugs known as glp—1 receptors. they work by making the patient feel fuller for longer. these drugs have passed all the clinical trials needed to be approved for use in the uk and have been cautiously welcomed by those working to tackle obesity. on the basis of single cases, it is difficult to establish cause and effect, it really is. but in the vast majority of major outcomes, very common outcomes, trials are very robust in trying to establish safety, that the drugs generally have substantial benefits that outweigh the risks. tirzepatide became the subject of national debate recently 1432 00:21:33,
