that's all the sport for now. plans to clamp down on large companies making excessive profits from children's homes in england are being set out by the government today. it's part of a major overhaul of the children's social care system. 0ur social affairs editor, alison holt, has this report. the reforms announced today are wide ranging. they include a challenge to the excessive profits made by some big companies running children's homes. they'll be required to share financial details, or face a new law to limit the money they make. the provision of children's homes and foster care has not been able to keep up with demand. and we also have the reality that the changing and
11:51 am
complexities of children and young people, the needs that they're presenting, the sector needs to evolve to be able to accommodate those needs. unfortunately, it's not been able to keep pace with it. in england, there are currently 83,500 children in council care. that's the highest number ever. local authorities say 1500 of those children are in placements that each cost more than half a million pounds a year. those young people will have a range of very complex needs, but a 2022 report suggested the 15 largest care home providers made annual average profits of 23%. 0ther proposals being announced today would give families more involvement in decisions when a child is taken into care, and provide more support for those leaving care. the actor sonya nisa told breakfast last month how on her own she felt as she left care. essentially leaving care, when you are 18, you are done and you're aware you're done

and you know that there's nothing else for you. and it is terrifying. the government says it wants to rebalance the system to provide families with support much earlier. the question from councils and others is, will they get the financial help needed to make those changes? alison holt, bbc news. high standards and immaculate grooming have always been associated with air cabin crew but their uniforms have come a long way since the formality of the 1940s. a new exhibition in bristol, called fashion of flight, has been exploring the many changes over the years. 0ur reporter alastair mckee went along to have a look. the evolution of the cabin crew dress reflects a journey through a very different cultural age, when air travel was exciting and cabin crew its brand icons. when the british airlines start using jumbo jets next may,

the glamour girls who fly in them will charm their 340 passengers with a complete new wardrobe designed by london couturier clive. i guess you can see, sort of starting in the 1950s, itjust looks like a sort i mean, they literally were military uniforms when they first started. um, and you can see, i mean, this is a slightly later version of the original design from the 50s, and it's starting to soften, get a little bit less military. you're starting to lose the belt and the tie, but you've still got a very military hat, obviously. so this one has got my favourite item as part of the uniform, which is this fantastic red coat. yeah, it's amazing. so this is the red riding hood uniform. i can see why. peak 1960s. and it's got this lovely hooded coat with a removable hood. and ijust think it's so striking and the coat looks so comfortable and cool, even now.
11:54 am
we've sort of swerved away from the military and it is very fashion forward. this one really stands out. what's the story here? so i mean, this one is very different from anything else. this was specifically designed for the cabin crew to put on sort of towards the end of a flight, if you were going to the caribbean. it's made of paper. it's designed to be one use only. you slip it on, you wear it once, you throw it away. and i guess it must have been a bit of a fire risk as well? i mean, i have heard stories that passengers, after a few, used to try and set them on fire. it's certainly possible. i mean, you can imagine, like i said, people are quite rowdy towards the end of the flight, getting ready for their holiday, and someone comes out in a paper dress, goodness knows what would happen. as the 1960s gave way to the �*70s and �*80s, a golden age came to an end. cabin crew clothing became practical, but also mundane, just like air travel itself.

now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. a blast of winter expected across the uk as we head through this week, it's going to be turning a lot colder. already a severe frost this morning across parts of scotland and some freezing fog patches for northwest england too. the risk of further snow and ice tonight and then overnight frost as we head through the rest of the week. but this is where the milder air is still hanging on today across the far south wales and into southern england. a lot colder though further north, those patches of freezing fog slow to lift and clear, some sunshine turning hazier as this cloud and rain tends to spread its way further northwards and eastwards, and still some more wintry showers piling into the far north of scotland too. some of this rain turning to sleet and even some snow over the hills of northern ireland later on through the day, and quite the range in temperatures — colder further north, but a lot milder still further south. but as that rain bumps into colder air overnight tonight, this is when we're going to see the snow risk.
11:56 am
now, we're likely to see some snow for a time across northern ireland, particularly over the higher ground into north wales and into northern england too. over the pennines, there could be as much as 5cm to 10cm of snow, more snow than that, perhaps, for some of the higher trans—pennine routes, and even into the north midlands, perhaps into parts of lincolnshire as well. a good dusting of snow, a good few centimetres always possible, but a lot of uncertainty on the northern and the southern extent of that wintry weather. it will be followed on by some icy stretches, so take care if out and about tomorrow morning. some treacherous driving conditions out there. now, as the low clears away, then we could see a little bit of a wintry mix, perhaps, across parts of east anglia at times, and into the far south and the east of england, especially over the higher ground. but towards the south, most of that will be falling as rain. but that clears away. it's a day of sunny spells, but also some wintry showers, particularly for north sea facing coasts where it's staying very windy through the day, so you have to factor in a bit of wind chill into these temperatures. it will feel colder than this still. and as we head through tuesday
11:57 am
night into wednesday, well, the winds will lighten so a widespread frost to start off wednesday morning, we're all into that colder feeling air. still some more wintry showers moving into northern scotland down through irish sea coasts. maybe some wintry showers too, for north sea—facing coasts. these will be the day's highest temperatures, just low single figures for many of us. and that cold, wintry weather is set to last as we head through the rest of the working week. so very chilly indeed. bye— bye.
