this caravan park in northampton submerged for the third time this year, forcing 1,000 people to leave. everybody had to get off site, and we've been sent to a leisure centre to see the council who are just putting people up on camp beds. i went today to try and get my belongings, my medication. i couldn't get anything and i was told it was too bad, couldn't access it. in chippenham in wiltshire, the high street and the surrounding area underwater. the first time that's happened since the 1960s. a nearby playground has been transformed into a water park. the mountain's come down. oh, my god. and in cwmtillery in blaenau gwent, torrential rain caused a landslide from a coal tip. torrents of water and mud cascaded towards homes. 0ne resident describing the atmosphere as the community came together.

carnage, i don't know. it was crazy, like, everybody from the street come out. there was people with shovels for about three hours. the flooding hasn't been confined to homes and high streets. this football club in gloucestershire more closely resembling an outdoor swimming pool. we've just all got to muddle round, get involved and try and get everything back to normal as quick as we can. but without football being played, financially, it's going to be a massive struggle for us as a club. across england and wales, there have been criticisms about insufficient warnings and a lack of preparation. parts of the scottish highlands have been warned of the risk of flooding due to a mix of melting snow and heavy rain. and for those areas in england and wales already under water, more rain is on the way. nickjohnson, bbc news. in a moment we'll speak to our reporter steve knibbs in chippenham but first let's

go to nicky schiller, who is in northampton where residents have spent the night at an evacuation centre. nicky, i imagine it has not been particularly comfortable for them there. ., ., , , . there. no, absolutely. the council are doinu there. no, absolutely. the council are doing what — there. no, absolutely. the council are doing what they _ there. no, absolutely. the council are doing what they can, - there. no, absolutely. the council are doing what they can, they - there. no, absolutely. the council| are doing what they can, they have got a camp bed in the squash courts and people are being able to sleep there. but sally, you saw in the report those pictures of the caravan park, which has been evacuated now for the third time this year. ijust picked one lady who has been sleeping in her car because she has got her dog with her to make sure that she was safe. inside there are other pets because of course they have had to come and they have got nowhere to go. the council here supporting about 114 families, 30 of those most vulnerable, with children, have already been found their accommodation and the numbers have gone down. i was talking to the react humanitarian charity who are

helping and they said one man turned up helping and they said one man turned up and he was just completely soaked on his feet because he had nowhere to go. and they quickly ran to a local shop to get him a dry pair of shoes and socks. i think that is the point. it is the humanitarian side. last night here they were cooking meals outside here in the car park so that some of those families at least had a hot meal. the council working to do what they can with those families that have been evacuated from that site. thank you, nic . 0ur reporter steve knibbs is in chippenham. steve, people they're saying it is the worst flooding they have seen in 50 years or something?— the worst flooding they have seen in 50 years or something? that's right, jon. 50 years or something? that's right, jon, since 50 years or something? that's right, jon. since 1967. _ 50 years or something? that's right, jon, since 1967, 68, _ 50 years or something? that's right, jon, since 1967, 68, people - 50 years or something? that's right, jon, since 1967, 68, people were - jon, since 1967, 68, people were telling our colleagues here at the bbc yesterday. it a very different picture on the high street than it was yesterday, when this whole area was yesterday, when this whole area was under water and cut off. the river avon under the bridge behind me is still very swollen. we are

told that the river levels here have peaked, but there are still a number of flood warnings in place here and in the wider region. when we got here last night, a number of roads were closed off, you could not come through here for example. as we came from the train station, we could see cars being rescued by recovery trucks so the town is trying to get back to normal this morning. at its peak the high street was completely closed. three secondary schools in chippenham were closed as well. a major impact on the water came for the first time in over 50 years. the impact here on the town centre is on the shops and businesses, you can see down here, this isjust one of the shop that has been affected, the british heart foundation. the condensation tells the story that inside there is a lot of devastation and this is the liner where the water came up. flood warnings are still in place, the environment agency and everybody watching the river levels very carefully but now the clean—up like elsewhere in the country begins in earnest later this

from school into everything else. i'm also autistic, so i do find things quite hard. so, um, yeah, it'sjust very interesting to go from being in a classroom with ten people and then working with like 50 to 60 people. it'sjust, it's a bit of a learning curve. the government says it wants to get more young people into work by expanding mental health support, merging job centres with the careers service in england. and it also says it will sanction young people if they don't take up offers of work or training. if you don't have basic skills or if you're out of work when you're young, the consequences can be lifelong for your job prospects, for your earning and for your health. so we will provide those opportunities and young people will have a responsibility to take them up. goldsmithing at hockley mint. over the last two years, they've taken on eight young apprentices. there's a tension at the heart of what the government is doing.

0n the one hand, it says it wants to get more people back into work, but businesses like this one are warning that the rise in the living wage, the increase in national insurance contributions and a strengthening of workers' rights will make it harder for them to take people on. for this business, it's going to cost us about £100,000 in the rises, both in the increase in the national minimum wage and also the national insurance contribution increases. and what we need to do is pay about £100,000. so how can we invest back into apprentices? how can we put the investment back into the business? you know, it's going to be higher prices for our customers. so tell me what you're doing here. liz kendall meeting apprentices at peterborough college. the scale of the challenge is daunting. there are fears that the country is facing a lost generation of young people. zoe conway, bbc news.

two british nationals are among 16 people missing after a tourist boat sank in the red sea. the boat had set off on a five—day diving tour yesterday from port herlib in egypt with 44 people on board. 28 of those on board were rescued. egyptian authorities have not indicated what the possible cause of the incident was. donald trump says he will hit china, mexico and canada with new tariffs on day one of his presidency, in an effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the us. a spokesman for the china's embassy in the us called their current trade relationship "mutually beneficial" and warned that "no one will win a trade war". a charity founded by the late former scotland rugby star doddie weir has mps will vote on the tobacco and of apes built later today. if gone through, it will gradually wage the —— raise the age on which tobacco

americans. and the us would also issue a letter giving israel the right to act inside lebanon on if hezbollah is perceived to be violating this deal. this is a controversial style topic in lebanon because this is seen as a low violation of the country's sovereignty. this has been a difficult negotiation, there have been signs of progress but the american say there is not a done deal yet. there has been an escalation of attacks in recent days, israeli air strikes killed more than 30 people across the country yesterday, over more attacks on the area of beirut controlled by hezbollah and hezbollah has continued to fire rockets into israel. diplomacy seems to be making progress but this conflict continues. sir bob geldof has welcomed the debate around the latest band aid single.

are registered with a gp, are expected to die within six months. they must also have the mental capacity to make the choice

this law would fundamentally change the relationship between a patient and their doctor. my dad died of terminal cancer a few years ago, and i know that if, as would have been allowed under this law, his doctor had suggested to him that he should think about killing himself because he was terminally ill, that would have terrified him. polling suggests that most of the public would support a change in the law on this. what would you say to those who say this is about autonomy, and people deserve the right to choose when they die? i understand the argument that's being made, and it is about giving a pretty small and very articulate group of people who i do feel real empathy towards, giving them the choice that they seek. the problem is that giving them the choice they seek puts a much larger, very vulnerable group of people in harm's way.

behind the arguments is the memory of a loved one lost. it's partly because of my dad, i think that i'm sitting here now. he first brought me to parliament when i was a school kid, and it's a great sadness to me that he wasn't here to see me take my seat. i wish very much he was here to to be part of it. and do you think he would have opposed this change as well? 100%, i know he would have. my dad was really larger than life. he was a wonderful man, he was great fun. and he was a farmer, he loved the countryside, and he's really given that love to me. similar experiences have led others to different conclusions. last year he became really ill and he was given a terminal diagnosis. the last few days were incredibly difficult. he was in a lot of pain and, um, it was really, really, really hard to see someone you really love going through that. he struggled to breathe, and so seeing him like that made me

realise that we needed a change of the law and that we need to be able to choose, um, and that's what i'd like for other people. has that been a difficult process to reach that decision or... it's certainly not a decision i've taken lightly, but that that was the biggest factor, seeing seeing a death close at hand. and a choice that you wish that your dad had. absolutely, i don't know if he would have taken that choice or not, of course, but i wish he would have had that choice. while some have made their decision, while some have made their decision, many mps are still wrestling many mps are still wrestling with how they'll vote. with how they'll vote. approaching the election, approaching the election, i was fairly sure that i was fairly sure that i was in favour of, you know, i was in favour of, you know, some measures to allow some measures to allow assisted dying. assisted dying. but having looked at this but having looked at this of anticipating it, but clearly, process, i have got doubts. process, i have got doubts. sean's wife has multiple sclerosis, sean's wife has multiple sclerosis, which is an incurable which is an incurable but not terminal illness. but not terminal illness. she wouldn't be in scope for this she wouldn't be in scope for this bill, but it's shaping his thinking. bill, but it's shaping his thinking. we have talked about, you know, we have talked about, you know, this issue of assisted dying, this issue of assisted dying,

not necessarily on a sort not necessarily on a sort of anticipating it, but clearly, what would you do in this situation? what are your views on it? she's very much pro—choice for the individual. i remain very much on the fence, and not as certain as i was before. the gravity of friday's decision weighs on many mps. whatever the outcome, all sides agree it will be a pivotal moment. harry farley, bbc news, in westminster.

scams before they harm the public. nina is at their headquarters in glasgow this morning. nina, they are doing important work, something that lots of us are really concerned about at the moment. morning, jon, sally, from bbc scotland. i have been to this wonderful building many times but i didn't know that tucked around in this room, we have, good morning, all, the bbc�*s scam interceptors, not all heroes wear capes, these guys are in black this morning. you can see the map this morning, they are plucking up scam hubs around the world and trying to intercept calls into unsuspecting victims to the uk and the work has never been more important. 0n bbc breakfast we have been keeping a tally on the amount of money lost to scammers since the stroke of monday midnight, since then, £3.6 million has been lost. it is easy to feel despair about those

numbers. but intercepting hubs have saved more than £1.2 billion last year. that is the good news. despite hundreds of thousands of cases being reported to police, less than 1% result in criminal proceedings. they are working hard here but it is a big job as lucy gray reports. hi, this is adam. on your statements, you will receive a verification code. can i give you a call back? the scam interceptors are currently filming for their next episodes, and they're watching the scammers. and we're going to go in and watch them watch the scammers. i'm helping you. do you remember the password? it's a very busy morning in the scam hub, and we're looking at access at the moment to three different call centres. let's have a listen in and see exactly what we get. internet provider impersonation scam in process here. and it sounds for the scammers at least quite promising. yeah, now once you press that arrow. the scam interceptors team have hacked into a call centre in calcutta in the indian state

of west bengal. they can hear the scammers' calls and even see their screens. this is basically what the floor manager of a scam call centre will look at. they've got 270,000 almost ready to call today in the uk. one of them poses as sky or virgin media and claim that they're calling about problems with your internet connection. that's going to work for them today. why? we just had a massive storm, so people are genuinely going to be having issues with their internet. 0h, is she downloading the remote access now? oh, no. so it sounds like the scammer has talked this woman into given remote access on her devices. so it now sounds like they're getting her to access her online banking, unfortunately. the team need to warn this woman she's being scammed. they can't reach her on her phone because she's talking to the scammer. but as they listen in, they find out where she lives. so they look for someone nearby. we've got ourselves a neighbour. the man at number 19, he's just down the road from this woman.

he's going to go and knock on her door. now i'm on the phone. he'sjust like, what am i supposed to do? there's a problem. that's what he just said. it's a very odd place now where we're listening to the conversation happening in her hallway. the scammers are listening to it as well. you came back, hello? yes, i'm here. whoo! that noise that you heard there, that little squeak, that sound is the sound of a champagne cork popping to us. because that's every single time that we know the victim has put the phone down, that the scammers' target has ended the call, we hear that. a big win for the team. the scam has been stopped, but the victory is short lived. within seconds, they hear the criminal call centre move on to their next potential victim. oh, my goodness. talk to me, ma'am. lucy grey, bbc news, glasgow.

underground stations will "both cease to function as reliable stations in peak hours" due to overcrowding, according to a leaked report sent to bbc london. the report said they both need to be urgently upgraded to remain safe. recently, a travel watchdog said passengers at the euston were being put in danger by "high levels of overcrowding". transport for london has said it would never allow a situation where a station it runs is unsafe. 0vercrowding here happens a lot. the gates have to be closed regularly because of the overcrowding on the platforms. passenger numbers, it's predicted, are only going to go one way, particularly when hs2 arrives here. transport for london says it is to take enforcement action against dockless e—bike operators who fail to act when bikes are left in the wrong place. it says it's also to fund more than 7,000 new parking spots for the bikes — to try and prevent them being left as potential trip

hazards on the streets. now, a bbc coffee cup featuring the corporation's19605 logo is among a range of items discovered in a disused part of alexandra palace. it was discovered as part of a major project to repair the building to stabilise its structure — as well as some of these other items. ally pally, is 150 years old — and is known around the world as the birthplace of television. let's take a look at the tubes now. various issues on different lines, as you can see there. so best to check your route before you set off. now on to the weather with kawser. hello there. good morning. well, after what was a chillier night last night, today we're looking at largely dry conditions with some sunny spells, but it will become wet and windy overnight tonight. for the time being, though, a lot of dry weather. there will be some spells of sunshine, the sunshine perhaps hazy at times into the afternoon, with more in the way of high cloud

around and temperatures reaching around 8 to 10 celsius. now for this evening it starts off dry, but then we'll see thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds by the end of the night. now, some of this rain could be heavy in places and temperatures dipping down to around 6 to 10 celsius. so still some further outbreaks of rain for a time during the day tomorrow. but this system will gradually clear away. and then for the next few days we see high pressure building. although there is an area of low pressure waiting in the wings that could bring some rain later in the weekend. but once this system clears through on wednesday, we are looking at a lot of dry weather. some spells of sunshine around as well, but it will be chilly by day and by night, and there could be some mist and fog patches that may be slow to clear in the mornings. that's your forecast. the next update will be in around half an hour. there's more on our webiste including an article about the cordon bleu chef who's opened community cookery school. have a very good morning. bye— bye. hello.

this is breakfast with jon kay and sally nugent. let's return to our top story now. lots of people across the uk are still feeling the impact of flooding after storm bert. more rain is due to fall on already saturated ground in southern england and south wales later — where there has already been major disruption. there are currently 132 flood warnings in place across england, six in wales and two in scotland. there's also a severe flood warning — meaning danger to life — issued for areas next to the river nene in northampton. the impact of storm bert has been substantial across the uk — a major incident has been declared in northampton. this was scene at billing aquadrome, where1,000 residents were told to evacuate — it's the third time the caravan park has flooded this year. we have been sent to the leisure

centre to see the council. brute we have been sent to the leisure centre to see the council. we were ”uttin centre to see the council. we were putting people _ centre to see the council. we were putting people on _ centre to see the council. we were putting people on camp _ centre to see the council. we were putting people on camp beds. - centre to see the council. we were putting people on camp beds. thisj centre to see the council. we were l putting people on camp beds. this is the second time. _ emergency services say they're monitoring the water levels closely. a number of residents were displaced. 52 people were supported and rescued from their homes by the fire service and ourselves. it does need to be taken seriously. 0bviously, need to be taken seriously. obviously, we have to deal with the run—off, so the floods may get worse in the next 24 hours and we need to make sure we have the right response in place. just two years ago, the environment agency estimated that 5.7 million properties in england were at risk from flooding. that's an increase of around 500,000 homes on the previous year. so are these kind of flooding events becoming more common and what's causing them? here's our climate and environment correspondent jonah fisher to explain.

are these floods in any way connected to climate change? well, the science is very clear that as temperatures rise, more water is absorbed into the atmosphere. a one degree rise means a 7% increase of water in the air. and that means that a warming planet means more intense storms and wetter winters. so how can we prepare for this better? well, one way is to, of course, not build so close to rivers and on floodplains. this lido here behind me in pontypridd... well, it was closed by flooding in 2020, it's closed again now. and indeed, having a place where the water can spill over out of the river, whether it be into an agricultural field or a park does take some of the pressure off the flooding. indeed, anything which slows down the water and gives it more time to absorb into the ground can help. so what about more defences? well, for homes like these along

the river, higher walls are really the only answer. but walls don't come cheap and difficult decisions are having to be made all the time as to who is protected and who isn't. adapting to climate change comes with dilemmas and huge costs. a clean—up operation is under way in south wales, after a landslip of mud, boulders and sludge meant residents had to be evacuated. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan is in cwmtillery. how is it looking this morning? still piles of rubbish.— how is it looking this morning? still piles of rubbish. yes, you can see it. still piles of rubbish. yes, you can see it- what _ still piles of rubbish. yes, you can see it. what you _ still piles of rubbish. yes, you can see it. what you can _ still piles of rubbish. yes, you can see it. what you can see - still piles of rubbish. yes, you can see it. what you can see and - still piles of rubbish. yes, you can see it. what you can see and hear| still piles of rubbish. yes, you can l see it. what you can see and hear is the excess rainwater washing out from the old coal tip up the

mountain. what happens late on sunday night is the old coal tip, all the excess and torrential rain made at the slurry came down the mountain, went down this road and all the homes had to be evacuated. from the aerial footage you can see the extent of the slurry that crept across the roads. the council has confirmed it was a wash from an old coal tip. there are a lot of coal tips across the place. this is what they call a category d coal tip, it has the most impactful potential issue on public safety that came down. money has been put towards trying to help these old coal tips to make sure they are all safe. 25 million was given from the uk government in the last budget. we just had extra calls from welsh mps

yesterday in the commons asking for money to make these coal tips safe because the true cost of remediation will be £600 million. at the moment these homes will be closed. it will take awhile for all of this to be cleaned up because they don't want anything like this to happen again and make sure people living in these areas are safe from anything like this when we go into deep winter and have more storms again.— we're joined now by nick green from the environment agency. we just pictures of really difficult circumstances that people are waking up circumstances that people are waking up to this morning across the various nations here. tell us how bad has to be as the flooding we have seen over the last few days? it has been a very difficult weekend with a storm but coming across and dumping a whole load of water across

the whole country. the saturation, it has been a very difficult weekend working with emergency services and situations having to issue severe flood warnings. unfortunately, people have been affected by the flooding and it is a very difficult time for them, especially at this time for them, especially at this time of year. time for them, especially at this time of year-— time of year. what has the environment _ time of year. what has the environment agency - time of year. what has the environment agency been | time of year. what has the - environment agency been doing? it time of year. what has the _ environment agency been doing? it is reall environment agency been doing? it 3 really important we inform the community with regard to the information we had last week, making sure people understood the impact that storm that could have on them. we also have blood defences across the country. —— storm bert. some big defences went up and kept the communities drive. just making sure we work with emergency services and help them prepare so when you get a few months worth of rain falling in a matter of hours, there will be

missing have left them vulnerable on the counter—attack. and whilst erling haaland is still scoring for fun after his 15, city's next top scorer has three. we're not really dealing with the moments when it goes bad in a game, but i think the main issue at the moment is the both boxes. you know, we're conceding too easily and we're not scoring the goals that we...we should score. lose at liverpool this sunday and they'll be 11 points off the pace in the premier league. tonight, a chance to restore confidence or at the very least stop the rot against feyenoord — fourth in the dutch top flight and mid—table in the champions league. 0pportunity knocks? right now is every time it's tough for us. it doesn't matter which opponent is going to face will be tough because the situation is the situation. a situation that's becoming increasingly perilous. and, for all football's foibles, it's nothing more than a numbers game. city hoping that losing run doesn't

become, how many, pep? ben croucher, bbc news. arsenal are also in action tonight in the champions league — meanwhile in the premier league west ham united grabbed a surprise win. after what's been a difficult start to the season this result mightjust convince the fans their manager can turn things around — thomas soucek with their first against newcastle. before aaron wan bissaka scored a second. we're in for a nailbiting finish to england's netball series against jamaica after they missed the chance to clinch it last night. they fell to a last second defeat — the squad arrived in kingston with a one nil lead after two matches in manchester last week, butjess thirlby�*s side were unable to clinch the series, that effort on the final buzzer giving jamaica a 50—49 win, to set up a series decider later tonight.

and how about this? a 13—year—old cricketer has become the youngest player ever to be picked for indian premier league. rajasthan royals have paid just over £100,000 for vaibhav suryavanshian ahead of next year's tournament. contrast that to the 42—year—old james anderson, one of the greatest ever bowlers, who has been completely overlooked. he wasn't picked up by any team in that bidding process, which palyers make themselves available for. all 10 franchises ignoring england's record wicket—taker. 0ther other english players have been selected. he was the oldest player in the auction, the youngest player has been selected. 13! obviously, a hugely talented player. with that kind of reputation at such a young age, to pay that money for a

13—year—old seems crazy, doesn't it? i feel a 13—year—old seems crazy, doesn't it? ifeel a bit 13—year—old seems crazy, doesn't it? i feel a bit sorry forjimmy anderson. like being at school when you are the last person to be picked. i wouldn't know! quite sad. you are giving me flashbacks. i am over it. you have done 0k. let's go straight to carol. i over it. you have done ok. let's go straight to carol.— straight to carol. i bet she was alwa s straight to carol. i bet she was always picked. _ i was always last, especially when it comes to running. there are still one severe warning in full set the moment in northamptonshire. today we are looking at if showers than yesterday and lighter winds. storm that continuing to pull away towards scandinavia. we have a real open set of isobars, a weak front producing showers across the far south—east and showers across parts of scotland

mafia getting into northern ireland, north—west england, wales and the south west. through their date with this thin band of cloud will continue to sink south. —— through the day. the snow level in the highlands down to around 400 metres. later on the cloud will thicken in the south—west and later we will see when arrived. temperatures five to 12. this evening and overnight that band of rain has been provided by this area of low pressure. it is moving north and east. as it does so, the wind will strengthen. that when the cross areas where we have had rain recently. some of it will be heavy in areas where we have not had much rain recently. a touch of frost in scotland, northern ireland and potentially northern england. we start off with this heavy rain, extending from essex to the isle of

wight. it continues to push deadly east. shal is getting into north—east england and south—east scotland. —— showers getting into north—east england. the wind will be gusty lincolnshire and into the south east. looking at 55, possibly more in the exposure. a few coastal showers and temperatures tomorrow are much milder 14 degrees in the channel islands. the low pressure eventually pushes away. it is keeping these weather fronts at bay in the atlantic. tomorrow we will start off on a chilly note. it will also be frosty and i will be some fog. a lot of water around with the light wind. that fog will left during the course of the day on thursday. that weather front will

make some inroads into the west and the winds will pick up as well. into friday the wind changes tomorrow of a south—westerly direction and you will notice the change in temperatures. into next week it turns cooler once again. nobody ever called the weather in this country boring. mil called the weather in this country borinr.�* , ..,, called the weather in this country borina. �* , . boring. all predictable. so changeable. _ boring. all predictable. so changeable. colder - boring. all predictable. so changeable. colder to - boring. all predictable. so i changeable. colder to come. boring. all predictable. so - changeable. colder to come. you wouldn't have it any other way. thank you. see you later. how many people do you thinkjust watch for carol? absolutely. the cliche of waiting ages for one, then three come along at once, is usually applied to buses but a couple in somerset have just welcomed a trio of babies to their family. cruz, enzo and aljo are rare identical triplets and were and were conceived afterjust one round of ivf.

0ur reporter cheryl dennis has been to meet them. come on, then, big boy. learning to juggle so many tiny hands and feet. just a year ago, shannon and ace from wincanton in somerset were facing the possibility that they couldn't have children at all. but now they're getting to know their three baby sons — born ten weeks early at 29 weeks and six days, they're being looked after at the gloucestershire royal until they're big enough to go home. they're extra special. as well as being the result of ivf, they're also triplets. and not only that, they're even rarer — identical triplets. we're lost for words, to be honest. it's still... i don't think it's quite sunk in. i think until we get them home, it's not really sunk in that we've got three identical boys. the couple's ivfjourney began two years ago. having been together since they were teenagers, they wanted a family. you can be so sort of swallowed up by ivf and doing the right things and doing everything.

i think we were very, very lucky with it being our first round. so we have had it very good and very, yeah... really lucky. at first they were told they were having twins. it took a while to get used to the thought of twins and how we were going to do it. um... yeah, we were shocked but we were happy with twins, weren't we? yeah. kind of all along we wanted twins. at their next scan, they were told it was triplets. speechless, weren't we? yeah, like i said, we drove an hour journey home and we didn't say a word to each other. we didn't know what to say. we were just thinking about everything. 0ur minds were going 100 miles an hour. yeah. it wasn't an easy journey. at different stages of the pregnancy. medics advised it may be too risky to carry all three. you know, the doctors were were pretty certain that we weren't going to make it past 21 weeks, which, if we didn't make it past 21 weeks, none of the babies

would have survived. but they followed their instincts and moved closer to st michael's hospital in bristol, ready for the birth. they spent thousands on a place to stay. once we hit 24 weeks and we knew the babies had a chance, we started staying in airbnbs in bristol so that we could be literally ten minutes from the hospital. so then we relaxed a little bit more because you do sort of, you know... and then we made it. we managed to make it to 29 weeks somehow. i don't know how. when they arrived, the boys were well enough not to need the specialist care on offer in bristol, but they did need support for premature babies at the gloucestershire royal. so we can provide support for babies who need that ongoing high dependency and special care. so that's exactly what these boys have needed. and we're lucky because there's no rush to get them back locally. but we're always in communication with local teams to support families back there, back to get them home when they're ready for that. the couple have been sharing special moments of theirjourney on tiktok, with hundreds of thousands of people checking in.

we've had people from all over the world messaging and praying for us, and... yeah. i mean, it was only meant to be you putting a video out for your friends and family to see. and then it obviously took off. documenting the journey, isn't it? it's an interesting journey. this is a family whose wishes have already come true three times over. they're now hoping to be back home for christmas. cheryl dennis, bbc news. cute! christmas, every year. that is the story we definitely need today. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. an eight—year—old girl and herfather are still in hospital after they were shot in their car in ladbroke grove on sunday. the girl's mother and two—year—old sibling were also in the car,

now, if you're a star wars fan, you'll be pleased to know it's not long to wait for the latest spin off in the star wars world. it's a new tv series called "skeleton crew". at the launch in trafalgar square the london star of the showjude law told bbc london he's pretty excited to be joining one of the world's most successful franchises. it was odd how familiar it was. i guess as i grew up, it was a big part of my play in my formative years so it felt oddly familiar. let's take a look at the tubes now. various issues of different lines as you can see there, so best to check your route before you set off. now onto the weather with kawser. hello there. good morning. well, after what was a chillier night last night, today we're looking at largely dry conditions with some sunny spells, but it will become wet and windy overnight tonight. for the time being, though, a lot of dry weather.

there will be some spells of sunshine, the sunshine perhaps hazy at times into the afternoon, with more in the way of high cloud around and temperatures reaching around 8 to 10 celsius. now for this evening it starts off dry, but then we'll see thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds by the end of the night. now, some of this rain could be heavy in places and temperatures dipping down to around 6 to 10 celsius. so still some further outbreaks of rain for a time during the day tomorrow. but this system will gradually clear away. and then for the next few days we see high pressure building. although there is an area of low pressure waiting in the wings that could bring some rain later in the weekend. but once this system clears through on wednesday, we are looking at a lot of dry weather. some spells of sunshine around as well, but it will be chilly by day and by night, and there could be some mist and fog patches that may be slow to clear in the mornings. that's your forecast. the next update will be in around half an hour. there's more on our webiste including an article about the cordon bleu chef who's opened community cookery school. have a very good morning.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. the clean—up begins after storm bert brought major disruption but with more rain on the way, the risk of flooding remains. iam i am live at an emergency centre that has been set up here in northampton after a major incident was declared because of the flooding. some of the evacuated residents have spent the night sleeping in their cars with their pets. modernising job centres and getting more young people into employment. the government plans to reduce the benefits bill and "get britain working". step up security or drones could be used to smuggle a gun behind bars. that's the warning from the chief inspector of prisons after a rise in incidents. in sport, can manchester

dwellings, lives upended. this caravan park in northampton submerged for the third time this year, forcing 1,000 people to leave. everybody had to get off site, and we've been sent to a leisure centre to see the council who are just putting people up on camp beds. i went today to try and get my belongings, my medication. i couldn't get anything and i was told it was too bad, couldn't access it. in chippenham in wiltshire, the high street and the surrounding area underwater. the first time that's happened since the 1960s. a nearby playground has been transformed into a water park. the mountain's come down. oh, my god. and in cwmtillery in blaenau gwent, torrential rain caused a landslide from a coal tip. torrents of water and mud cascaded towards homes. 0ne resident describing the atmosphere as the

community came together. carnage, i don't know. it was crazy, like, everybody from the street come out. there was people with shovels for about three hours. the flooding hasn't been confined to homes and high streets. this football club in gloucestershire more closely resembling an outdoor swimming pool. we've just all got to muddle round, get involved and try and get everything back to normal as quick as we can. but without football being played, financially, it's going to be a massive struggle for us as a club. across england and wales, there have been criticisms about insufficient warnings and a lack of preparation. it's really important that we warn and inform the community with regards to the information that we had last week, making sure that people had the impact of storm bert would have on them. we also have flood defences all over the country

that we have been putting up to protect communities. parts of the scottish highlands have been warned of the risk of flooding due to a mix of melting snow and heavy rain. and for those areas in england and wales already under water, more rain is on the way. nickjohnson, bbc news. in a moment we'll speak to our reporter steve knibbs in chippenham. but first let's go to nicky schiller, who is in northampton where residents have spent the night at an evacuation centre. how has that been for them, nicky? yeah, sally, the evacuation centre here in northampton has put out camp beds in the squash courts so that people can at least try and get a nights sleep. but some of the people who have been evacuated from the caravan park you saw opted to sleep in their cars because they had pets with them and they wanted to be with their pets overnight. it has been a

yes, since 1968 we were told, that's the last time the flooding we were told was this bad in the high street. the whole area was cut off under very deep water. behind to beat you can see the bridge where the river avon is, that is the source the flooding. since we spoke to you an hour ago, the water has really dropped back. people are still trying to get to work, and you can see with this barbershop, that is how high the water got, about a metre or so. there is a lot of damage there as there is up and down the lower end of the high street. there are a number of flood warnings in place in chippenham but the river levels have peaked, people will be watching that very closely. the biggest issue at the moment as far as we can see is traffic, there are as we can see is traffic, there are a number of roads around the town centre closed off and over the last half an hour or so people trying to get to work and school are causing a bit of gridlock through the town centre. yesterday three secondary

schools here in chippenham were closed, today we understand they are reopening say chippenham doing its best to get back to normal and hoping that those river levels keep dropping and the flooding stays away as the clean—up starts later in earnest. as the clean-up starts later in earnest. , ., , as the clean-up starts later in earnest. , . , .., earnest. they are very dedicated workers in _ earnest. they are very dedicated workers in chippenham - earnest. they are very dedicated workers in chippenham this - earnest. they are very dedicated - workers in chippenham this morning! thank you, steve. what else do we need to know this morning, sally? two british nationals are among 16 people missing after a tourist boat sank in the red sea. the boat had set off on a five—day diving tour yesterday from port ghalib in egypt with 44 people on board. 28 of those on board were rescued. 0ur correspondent sally nabiljoins us now from hurghada. sally, what more do we know about the situation? i sally, what more do we know about the situation?— sally, what more do we know about the situation? i am here in hurghada where the was _ the situation? i am here in hurghada where the was meant _ the situation? i am here in hurghada where the was meant to _ the situation? i am here in hurghada where the was meant to -- - the situation? i am here in hurghada where the was meant to -- the - the situation? i am here in hurghada where the was meant to -- the boat| where the was meant to —— the boat was meant to arrive after leaving

afterjanuary 1st 2009 from legally smoking by gradually raising the age at which tobacco can be bought. the legislation also includes a total ban on vape advertising and sponsorship. a charity founded by the late former scotland rugby star doddie weir has raised more than £18 million for motor neurone disease research. weir died two years ago after living with mnd for almost six years. the my name's doddie foundation has backed 40 mnd research projects since it was set up in 2017. the white house says it's pushing hard to reach a ceasefire deal between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has called a meeting of his security cabinet today to discuss the proposal. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knelljoins us now from jersualem. what might any deal look like? the

deal is what might any deal look like? iie: deal is based what might any deal look like? "iie: deal is based on what might any deal look like? i““ie: deal is based on the what might any deal look like? iie: deal is based on the un security council resolution that ended fighting between israel and hezbollah back in the war in 2006. what would change this time is that there would be a lot more international support to get hezbollah to pull its forces at least 20 miles away from the southern border between lebanon and israel, and then you would have a lot more lebanese army forces, regular forces going lot more lebanese army forces, regularforces going in lot more lebanese army forces, regular forces going in there with international peacekeepers as well. we have been hearing a lot of positive comments from lebanese officials in the past day or so, also we had a white house spokesman overnights who said that a deal was close. nothing official said by the israeli side but israeli media are reporting that the israeli security cabinet when it meets this

afternoon, that it is expected to approve this 60 day ceasefire with hezbollah. i should say, there is not full support for that in israel. the stated war goal here for israel is to be able to return some 60,000 israeli citizens who have been displaced by the fighting across the northern border with hezbollah over the last year, return them safely to their homes. and prominent mayors of some people in those communities say they don't believe that deal goes far enough and it could dispose —— exposed divisions in the israel cabinet because we have had the far right national security minister saying that israel should not give up saying that israel should not give up now and fight on with hezbollah to what he called absolute victory. thank you, for now. earlier we told you about president biden pardoning two thanksgiving turkeys. well, this is another holiday tradition, the first lady welcoming the white house christmas tree. quite a palaver, this. i wonder if

there could be a gun. imaginea gun! there's been a dramatic increase on the use of drones by organised crime gangs, because this is a money—spinner. the system that we've got effectively puts . up an invisible fence. a drone flies into the fence i and it's effectively repelled. these cells are here. you can see them. there's about seven or eight cells there. it's a case of up there you are over the thing. it's just there. that's how close it is. that's how easy it is. jamie has spent 14 years of his life locked up. he knows how important drones are to the drug market in prisons. i've seen drones come to somebody's window and then go like that. i've literally seen people sticking their arm out and the drone coming direct. and there's a prisoner sat in his cell on the phone going, "right, come left, go right, go left." and directing him. so like... it's like it's a delivery service. jamie served several sentences for a variety of crimes,

some of them violent. he changed his life after being shot in a revenge attack seven years ago. a prisoner has just been released, guys. he started the social media channel jail tales and says it helps prisoners get back on their feet as they're released. you genuinely feel remorse? yeah. of course, man. of course. i spoke to one the other day and he said to me... - it's made me change my life around and it's made me go straight. - and when he said that, like, it kind of like... i it warms my heart. jamie has real inside knowledge, and he's worried about what unchecked drones may eventually bring in. imagine if somebody wanted to get a gun in prison and it had come over on a drone. i'm shocked that's not what happened already. like, genuinely shocked, like. because if you think about it, anything come on a drone. figures obtained by the bbc show there were more than 1,000 drone sightings around uk prisons last year, more than double the figure from 2022. no drones sighted over the moj.

er, ironic, isn't it? steve gillan was a prison officer for 34 years. he says the increase in smuggling using drones is concerning. security is being compromised every single day by these drones. three and four times at some establishments a day. it's only a matter of time before perhaps organised crime gangs or terrorists use a drone to put an incendiary device into a prison, or worse. guns and so forth. a law brought in earlier this year makes it an automatic offence to fly a drone within 400m of a prison without special permission. butjails like high security hmp garth has become like an airport, according to a recent inspection, with inmates burning holes in their cell windows to capture the packages the drones were delivering. so we're taking to the air to find out how to defeat the drones. guernsey prison on the channel islands houses

more than 100 inmates. men, women and young offenders. it's a prison, so people are going to try and bring in contraband. and it's part and parcel of working in this type of environment. governorjohn de carteret is showing us around. he explains how a 150—year—old jail relies on new technology. we've got a sky fence, effectively a couple of hundred metres above the fence. when a drone tries to breach the perimeter, it's repelled until it runs out of battery, and then it slowly lowers itself down to the floor. it works by overwhelming the drone's own signal receivers with interference from transmitters in the grounds. does it work? it does work. it's a sight to be seen. when it hits that zone, the only drawback i see with it is that you can't go after the drone operator, because you don't know where they are. if you're measuring it in terms of how many drones have we had since we've implemented it, it's been very successful because we haven't had any.

so we've been asking why this drone—disrupting technology hasn't been rolled out to all uk prisons. we've talked to several organisations, including the ministry ofjustice and the home office, but no—one could tell us definitively whether or not counter—drone measures are used in the uk. instead, the moj gave us a statement. we have a zero tolerance approach to drugs, and we work locally with the police to deter, detect and disrupt the growing illegal use of drones around prisons. well, my understanding is it comes down to cost and they don't want to invest, so they'll bury their heads in the sand, the ministry ofjustice until something drastically goes wrong. you'd think the government, the prison... you'd think somebody would be able to put something in place to stop drones causing mayhem. honestly, i don't think people understand how much spice

and drugs ruin prisons. ben moore, bbc news. we are joined now by steve gillan from the prison officers' association. we saw him in that report. we saw him in that report. you we saw him in that report. you say we saw him in that report. you say that the politicians and civil servants are burying their heads in the sand. they are. good morning. this is not a new thing, this has been around for ten years. the prison 0fficers' for ten years. the prison officers' association have said about the dangers of that drone technology all those years ago. i'm afraid it's about cost cutting as we have seen over the last 14 years, i can't describe it any more than financial vandalism. you have seen from that report itself, the crisis that there is with drones now, probably dabbling in nature from that freedom of information question. ——

the best it person in the world, but the reality is that we must have the intelligence out there. it is ok to say, the ministry ofjustice saying, we are working with the police. the police are overstretched as well. that is the harsh fact of reality. and indeed, i have seen over the years, 434 years i have been around in one capacity or another as serving prison officer, working in three separate jails before becoming general secretary 14 years ago, i have never known it as bad. i have never known the prison service as bad. they have vandalised a once proud service. and political parties all blame each other and nothing gets done. my challenge to the new government is to say, work with the poa because we don'tjust identify the problems, we have the solutions as well. �* , i, the problems, we have the solutions as well. �* m , the problems, we have the solutions as well. �* , i, , , the problems, we have the solutions aswell.�* , , ,, i, as well. are you using this issue to olitic a as well. are you using this issue to politic a bit — as well. are you using this issue to politic a bit as _ as well. are you using this issue to politic a bit as well? _ as well. are you using this issue to politic a bit as well? absolutely i politic a bit as well? absolutely ri . ht, politic a bit as well? absolutely right. because _ politic a bit as well? absolutely right, because critical- politic a bit as well? absolutely right, because critical parties i politic a bit as well? absolutely i

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. for hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. an eight—year—old girl and herfather are still in hospital after they were shot in their car in ladbroke grove on sunday. the girl's mother and two—year—old sibling were also in the car, but weren't injured. the girl has undergone surgery whilst her father has potentially life—changing injuries. a 22—year—old man's been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. euston and euston square underground stations will "both cease to function as reliable stations in peak hours" due to overcrowding, according to a leaked report sent to bbc london. the report said they both need to be urgently upgraded to remain safe. recently, a travel watchdog said passengers at the euston were being put in danger by "high levels of overcrowding". transport for london has said it would never allow a situation where a station it runs is unsafe. 0vercrowding here happens a lot.

the gates at the bottom have to be closed regularly because of the overcrowding on the platforms. passenger numbers, it's predicted, are only going to go one way — particularly when hs2 arrives here. staying with travel. and tfl says it is to take enforcement action against dockless e—bike operators who fail to act when bikes are left in the wrong place. it says it's also to fund more than 7,000 new parking spots for the bikes — to try and prevent them being left as potential trip hazards on the streets. now, a bbc coffee cup featuring the corporation's19605 logo is among a range of items discovered in a disused part of alexandra palace. it was discovered as part of a major project to repair the building to stabilise its structure — as well as some of these other items. ally pally, is 150 years old — and is known around the world as the birthplace of television. let's take a look at the tubes now.

various issues of different lines as you can see there, so best to check your route before you set off. now on to the weather with kawser. hello there. good morning. well, after what was a chillier night last night, today we're looking at largely dry conditions with some sunny spells, but it will become wet and windy overnight tonight. for the time being, though, a lot of dry weather. there will be some spells of sunshine, the sunshine perhaps hazy at times into the afternoon, with more in the way of high cloud around and temperatures reaching around 8 to 10 celsius. now for this evening it starts off dry, but then we'll see thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds by the end of the night. now, some of this rain could be heavy in places and temperatures dipping down to around 6 to 10 celsius. so still some further outbreaks of rain for a time during the day tomorrow. but this system will gradually clear away. and then for the next few days we see high pressure building. although there is an area of low pressure waiting in the wings that could bring some rain later in the weekend. but once this system clears through on wednesday, we are looking at a lot of dry weather.

some spells of sunshine around as well, but it will be chilly by day and by night, and there could be some mist and fog patches that may be slow to clear in the mornings. that's your forecast. the next update will be in around half an hour. there's more on our webiste including an article about the cordon bleu chef, who's opened community cookery school. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. good morning. another site potentially for manchester city supporters who are seeing their team lose manchester city supporters who are seeing their team lose and manchester city supporters who are seeing their team lose and lose regularly. ii seeing their team lose and lose rerularl . i, , i,

in the champions league. meanwhile, in the premier league, west ham united grabbed a surprise win. after what's been a difficult start to the season, this result mightjust convince the fans their manager can turn things around. thomas soucek with their first against newcastle before aaron wan bissaka scored a second. now, how about this — a last second defeat for england's netballers against jamaica ? the squad arrived in kingston with a 1—0 lead after two matches in manchester last week, butjess thirlby�*s side were unable to clinch the series as that effort on the final buzzer giving jamaica a 50—49 win, to set up a series decider later tonight. a 13—year—old cricketer has become the youngest player ever to be picked for indian premier league. rajasthan royals have paid just over £100,000 for vaibhav surya—vanshian ahead of next year's tournament. contrast that to the 42—year—old james anderson, one of the greatest ever bowlers, who has been completely overlooked. he wasn't picked up by any team in that bidding process, which palyers make

themselves available for. all ten franchises ignoring england's record wicket taker. seems crazy, doesn't it? you would think the more experienced player would be snapped up. i am imagining top trumps. a little bit. a lot of trading going on. the government is promising to reduce the benefits bill by getting more people into work. its plan includes a £240 million investment to overhauljob centres across britain, as well as more funding for mental health services. ministers say the reforms will help give young people more skills and opportunites, as our employment correspondent zoe conway reports. a graffiti art class at the king's trust charity in birmingham. around this table, young people not in education, employment or training.

several are struggling with mental health problems and low self—esteem. as soon as you go from not going to college, you don't know what's going to happen. so it affects you really bad to the point that like you're like bed rotting. it'sjust been hard to go from school into everything else. i'm also autistic, so i do find things quite hard. so, um, yeah, it'sjust very interesting to go from being in a classroom with ten people and then working with like 50 to 60 people. it'sjust, it's a bit of a learning curve. the government says it wants to get more young people into work by expanding mental health support, merging job centres with the careers service in england. and it also says it will sanction young people if they don't take up offers of work or training. if you don't have basic skills or if you're out of work when you're young, the consequences can be

lifelong for your job prospects, for your earning and for your health. so we will provide those opportunities and young people will have a responsibility to take them up. goldsmithing at hockley mint. over the last two years, they've taken on eight young apprentices. there's a tension at the heart of what the government is doing. 0n the one hand, it says it wants to get more people back into work, but businesses like this one are warning that the rise in the living wage, the increase in national insurance contributions and a strengthening of workers' rights will make it harder for them to take people on. for this business, it's going to cost us about £100,000 in the rises, both in the increase in the national minimum wage and also the national insurance contribution increases. and what we need to do is pay about £100,000. so how can we invest back into apprentices? how can we put the investment back into the business? you know, it's going to be higher

prices for our customers. so tell me what you're doing here. liz kendall meeting apprentices at peterborough college. the scale of the challenge is daunting. there are fears that the country is facing a lost generation of young people. zoe conway, bbc news. a lost generation. the employment minister alison mcgovern joins us now. the prime minister has said he wants young people to lose benefits if they do not take up work or training opportunities. when will that programme begin? the opportunities. when will that programme begin?— opportunities. when will that programme begin? the rules are alread in programme begin? the rules are already in place _ programme begin? the rules are already in place that _ programme begin? the rules are already in place that if _ programme begin? the rules are already in place that if anyone i programme begin? the rules are already in place that if anyone is| already in place that if anyone is receiving social security payments they had to stick to the rules and undertake activity, that is the deal

at the heart of social security. the problem we have now is young people were really failed, i think, during the pandemic, the pandemic generation didn't really get the things that they needed to succeed. we want to make sure that young people do have a chance and opportunity. of course they have the responsibility to take those chances up. there's opportunities have to be about helping them start on a career path which will see them right for the rest of their working life. at the rest of their working life. at the moment that is not happening. you say part of this programme is already in existence. if that is the case, it is not working, it? iiirui’hat already in existence. if that is the case, it is not working, it? what is not working _ case, it is not working, it? what is not working as _ case, it is not working, it? what is not working as a _ case, it is not working, it? what is not working as a chances - case, it is not working, it? what is not working as a chances and i not working as a chances and opportunities young people have. when i go intojob centres it often feels like it is the mid—805. we need to use technology to get people into work. we do not have a good

range ofjobs and job centres and we need to change that. so when young people go when they get tailored support to get into the bestjob possible. it is about a big change and revolution in employment support we offer people, particularly targeted than thinking about young people because of their life impact it can have on young people if they are out of work right at the beginning of their career. that thin is, beginning of their career. that thing is. you — beginning of their career. that thing is, you can _ beginning of their career. that thing is, you can rebrand job centres, have more personal advice when young people visit but it there are not the jobs at the other end, if businesses are not taking on more people, there is no point, is there? the chancellor was told yesterday that plans to increase national insurance contributions on business will stop them hiring rather than increasing the hiring. i am will stop them hiring rather than increasing the hiring.— increasing the hiring. i am not immune to — increasing the hiring. i am not immune to that _ increasing the hiring. i am not immune to that argument i increasing the hiring. i am not immune to that argument and increasing the hiring. i am not- immune to that argument and nor is the chancellor. we know not only do we have a very difficult situation

to base coming into government with such a terrible legacy but the impacts of that i felt right across the country. if you look at what is going on across the country, in some places we have really high employment. in some places it is still really low. the difference is huge. in some areas we have 25% of young people out of work and in other places it is much lower. the issue of where we had good jobs is really important. we want to see investment in places where economies have stagnated for too long. we do change the mix ofjobs that is available to young people through job centres. we have apprenticeships we need in places which have not seen good outcomes for people, languished too long in employment terms. that is what today is about, changing job centre so they said

people properly and taking a local approach so we tackle big problems for the economy which have helped people back for way too long. pakiss shoes, people back for way too long. pakiss shoes. they — people back for way too long. pakiss shoes, they have _ people back for way too long. pakiss shoes, they have 190 _ people back for way too long. pakiss shoes, they have 190 shoe - people back for way too long. pakiss shoes, they have 190 shoe shops i shoes, they have 190 shoe shops around the uk including some of the areas you have talked about. their chairman has told the bbc they have been opening ten to 15 new stores a year but they are slowing down because of the decision by the chancellor to charge employers more in national insurance. the idea of getting people into work wilful that the first hurdle, won't it? $5 i the first hurdle, won't it? as i said, i understand _ the first hurdle, won't it? " i said, i understand where businesses are coming from. things are not easy. we had a choice in government, we could have deducted the difficult choices as the tories did and continued to make spending promise after spending promise unfunded and putting the stability of the economy at risk will take the tough decision

and put the public finances in a better state. and put the public finances in a betterstate. rachel and put the public finances in a better state. rachel reeves took the tough decision. myjob is to make sure the employment service supports employers well. we have an unemployment rate which is at an historic low. in some parts of the country it is really poor. we need to make sure where businesses recruit they are using job centres. 0nly recruit they are using job centres. only one in six really do so at the moment. we need to make surejob centres serve employers properly can help them find great employees. we still have a significant number of vacancies around the country and i want to make sure employees feel the local job want to make sure employees feel the localjob centre is the place to go to find the next star employee. the afs has looked through numbers and they think you are making policy in they think you are making policy in the darkness because there is no fundamental understanding as to why

the benefits bill seems to be increasing after the pandemic way faster and more extensively than has happened in other countries which has also had covid. why do you think people in this country are struggling more than places like france and germany?— struggling more than places like france and germany? young people are stru: rulin. france and germany? young people are struggling- when _ france and germany? young people are struggling. when you _ france and germany? young people are struggling. when you look— france and germany? young people are struggling. when you look at _ france and germany? young people are struggling. when you look at the - struggling. when you look at the health of young people i think it is worse in the uk. also we have this economy that is terribly unequal in different parts of the country. some of the analysis that sits behind the white paper which is published today shows very stark differences that people experience when they try to find a job. getting a job as a bit of a postcode lottery. it is highly dependent on where you come from. i don't think young people should have to face such unequal chances in

life. our to face such unequal chances in life. 0urannouncement to face such unequal chances in life. our announcement today will reset the system, getting better jobs in all parts of the country underjob centre which will help people get those good jobs wherever you are. it will be a big change and will not happen overnight. i want people to quickly see when they walk into a job centre in what can be a terribly stressful or difficult time in life when you have been made redundant or how to work for some time with poor health thatjob centre will help them and is a place where they can find good chances and opportunities. we where they can find good chances and opportunities-— opportunities. we have heard from --eole opportunities. we have heard from people who — opportunities. we have heard from people who cannot _ opportunities. we have heard from people who cannot get _ opportunities. we have heard from people who cannot get to - opportunities. we have heard from people who cannot get to work i opportunities. we have heard from i people who cannot get to work today because the shop, bank or restaurant where they work has been flooded over the weekend. there are real calls for the government to spend more on flood defences. i know you had committed to billion on flood defences. for people in the communities who have been inundated over the weekend but that is not enough. what do you say to them? i

am so sorry. my heart goes out to them. seeing the pictures are that flooding. everyone in the country feels for the people affected by it. lots of people will be extremely sympathetic for the people affected. more money? we sympathetic for the people affected. more money?— sympathetic for the people affected. more money? we have set up a flood resilience forum. _ more money? we have set up a flood resilience forum. given _ more money? we have set up a flood resilience forum. given the _ more money? we have set up a flood resilience forum. given the extreme l resilience forum. given the extreme challenges of this i am sure that the ministers responsible will be looking closely in detail at what has happened here and wanting to learn lessons very quickly so we can respond. 0bviously, learn lessons very quickly so we can respond. obviously, this isjust happening but i am sure those ministers will be wanting to respond to what has happened in this case. thank you for your time. here's carol with the weather. that is not what i was expecting behind you. it is too nice. this

whilst her father has potentially life changing injuries. a 22—year—old man's been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. euston and euston square underground stations will "both cease to function as reliable stations in peak hours" due to overcrowding, according to a leaked report sent to bbc london. the report said they both need to be urgently upgraded to remain safe. recently a travel watchdog said passengers at euston were being put in danger by "high levels of overcrowding". transport for london has said it would never allow a station it runs to be unsafe. overcrowding here happens a lot. the gates at the bottom have to be closed regularly because of the overcrowding on the platforms. passenger numbers, it's predicted, are only going to go one way — particularly when hs2 arrives here. let's take a look at the tubes now. some of the earlier issues have cleared up but still problems on the elizabeth, metropolian, northern and piccadilly lines.

now onto the weather. a few spells of rain to start today but it will then turn dry and sunny. the chance of more rain in the evening. highs of ten degrees. the next update will be in around half an hour. have a very good morning. bye bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. the clean—up begins after storm bert brought major disruption. but with more rain on the way, the risk of flooding remains. iam i am alive at an emergency relief centre that has been set up here in northampton after flooding event, the residents evacuated, some of them sleeping in their cars with their pets. modernising job centres and getting more young people into employment. the government plans to cut the benefits bill and "get britain working". mps on both sides of the assisted dying debate make their case, ahead of a hugely contentious vote in the commons this friday. good morning, it is a scam safe week across the bbc and this morning i am in glasgow at the scam interceptors hub. last year they helped stop £1.2

billion of fraud as the scammers get more sophisticated so we ask, how do we protect ourselves? # first cut is the deepest. in the last few minutes, sir rod stewart has been named as the artist who will play the coveted legend's slot at next year's glastonbury festival. good morning. there is still one severe flood warning in force in northamptonshire, but today there will be fewer showers and lighter winds than yesterday. however more rain coming into the southern half of the country tonight and tomorrow. all of the details shortly. it's tuesday 26th november. more than 130 flood warnings are still in place across england, wales and scotland this morning, as the after—effects of storm bert continue. flooding has caused major disruption to homes, roads and rail networks and more rain is expected to fall later today on already saturated ground.

nickjohnson has this report. the fallout from storm bert. homes reshaped into sodden island dwellings, lives upended. this caravan park in northampton submerged for the third time this year, forcing 1,000 people to leave. everybody had to get off site, and we've been sent to a leisure centre to see the council who are just putting people up on camp beds. i went today to try and get my belongings, my medication. i couldn't get anything and i was told it was too bad, couldn't access it. in chippenham in wiltshire, the high street and the surrounding area underwater. the first time that's happened since the 19605. a nearby playground has been transformed into a water park. the mountain's come down. oh, my god. and in cwmtillery in blaenau gwent, torrential rain caused

a landslide from a coal tip. torrents of water and mud cascaded towards homes. one resident describing the atmosphere as the community came together. carnage, i don't know. it was crazy, like, everybody from the street come out. there was people with shovels for about three hours. the flooding hasn't been confined to homes and high streets. this football club in gloucestershire more closely resembling an outdoor swimming pool. we've just all got to muddle round, get involved and try and get everything back to normal as quick as we can. but without football being played, financially, it's going to be a massive struggle for us as a club. across england and wales, there have been criticisms about insufficient warnings and a lack of preparation. it's really important that we warn and inform the community. with regards to the information that we had last week, making sure that people understood the impact that storm bert could have on them. so, by issuing flood

warnings and flood alerts. we also have got flood defences all over the country that we have been putting up to protect communities. parts of the scottish highlands have been warned of the risk of flooding due to a mix of melting snow and heavy rain. and for those areas in england and wales already under water, more rain is on the way. nickjohnson, bbc news. let's speak to our reporter nicky schiller who is in northampton where residents have spent the night at an evacuation centre. that's right, jon. they have been waking up as the sun rises, and have been, a lot of them, walking their dogs because of course one of the things and they have had to evacuate from that area that you saw in nick �*s report, which still has a severe flood warning around it, is they had to the animals here as well. the

people inside said they had about 20 dogsin people inside said they had about 20 dogs in all. some of those residents have spent the night sleeping in their cars because of course, dogs and dogs don't always get on. that is one of the reasons why they have been here. the reactor disaster results people inside have set out camp beds —— resource people have set out camp beds inside, people have been coming out and they could not speak highly enough of the help they have been getting inside. they have been helping around 114 people, 30 families with children, the most vulnerable, have also already been housed elsewhere. that will continue today, the council will be trying to find them somewhere else to stay because it is going to be awhile before they can get back that caravan park as you saw in those pictures which has been completely flooded. ~ ., , flooded. what will they find when the net flooded. what will they find when they get back? — flooded. what will they find when they get back? thank _ flooded. what will they find when they get back? thank you, - flooded. what will they find when they get back? thank you, nikki. | flooded. what will they find when i they get back? thank you, nikki. six minutes past eight, sally has the

rest of the news. the government is promising to reduce the benefits bill by getting more people into work. its plan includes a £21i0 million investment to overhauljob centres across britain, as well as more funding for mental health services. our political correspondent damian grammaticas joins us now. morning, damian. what more do we know about these proposals? morning, this is auoin know about these proposals? morning, this is going to — know about these proposals? morning, this is going to be _ know about these proposals? morning, this is going to be unveiled _ know about these proposals? morning, this is going to be unveiled in - know about these proposals? morning, this is going to be unveiled in a - this is going to be unveiled in a white paper today, more detail will come and consultations to come. focusing on what the government says, as you pointed out there, the fact that they think that the job centre system is outdated, and that needs to be transformed into more of a careers service. so not surejust manage benefits but to try and improve people's skills and tie them into work. £21i0 million, trying to bring in a local mayors and things to identify localjobs, that is what they are saying. equally focusing on

youth unemployment, young people who are not in education, employment or training, so there will be several areas. leave it —— liverpool, tees valley and east midlands will have pilot schemes to try and get young people into opportunities. there is talk about some sort of sanctions, no detail on that if people don't take up offers. what the opposition say is that the government is ducking difficult choices, particularly about bringing down the benefits bill. what the government will say is that this is all about trying to increase employment. employers themselves warning that recent tax rises might make it harder for recent tax rises might make it harderfor them recent tax rises might make it harder for them to take on new hires. ., ~' , ., harder for them to take on new hires. . ~ y., ., two british nationals are among 16 people missing after a tourist boat sank in the red sea. the boat had set off on a five—day diving tour yesterday from port ghalib in egypt with 41! people on board. 28 were rescued. egyptian authorities have not indicated what the possible cause of the incident was.

donald trump says he will hit china, mexico and canada with new tariffs on day one of his presidency. he says this will help crack down on illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the usa. a spokesman for china's embassy called their current trade relationship "mutually beneficial" and warned that "no one will win a trade war". mps will vote on the tobacco and vapes bill later today. if passed, it'll prevent anyone born afterjanuary 1st 2009 from legally smoking by gradually raising the age at which tobacco can be bought. the legislation also includes a total ban on vape advertising and sponsorship. the white house says it's pushing hard to reach a ceasefire deal between israel and hezbollah in lebanon. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has called a meeting of his security cabinet today to discuss the proposal. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega has the latest from beirut. there is some optimism here that a deal is possible.

this is a proposal that has been drafted by the americans, it includes a 60 day ceasefire. there would be the withdrawal of israeli troops from the south of the country, hezbollah would remove its weapons and fighters from that area at the same time and the lebanese military would boost its presence in the south. there would also be an international mechanism to monitor the implementation of this deal, this committee would be led by the americans. and the us would also issue a letter giving israel the right to act inside lebanon if hezbollah is perceived to be violating this deal. this is a controversial topic in lebanon because this is seen as a violation of the country's sovereignty. this has been a difficult negotiation, there have been signs of progress but the american say there is not a done deal yet. there has been an escalation of attacks in recent days,

israeli air strikes killed more than 30 people across the country yesterday, and more attacks on dahieh, the area of beirut controlled by hezbollah and hezbollah has continued to fire rockets into israel. diplomacy seems to be making progress but this conflict continues. sir bob geldof has welcomed the debate around the latest band aid single. the song, "do they know it's christmas", is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year but was re—released yesterday to renewed controversy about how it portrays africa. sir bob geldof, who came up with the original idea, told the one show that all views on the song helped to keep issues on the political agenda. the debate is fantastic, and the debate only happens because of this small pop song. without it, that debate doesn't come anywhere. so now it's out in the public, it's being talked about, it's being written about, and that gives us immense

all this week the bbc, including breakfast, is looking at how to spot scams and the efforts made to thwart them. and the bbc�*s scam interceptors are at the forefront of preventing scams before they harm the public. nina is at their headquarters in glasgow this morning. they are doing a really important job, aren't they? it is they are doing a really important job, aren't they?— they are doing a really important job, aren't they? it is an important 'ob and it job, aren't they? it is an important job and it is _ job, aren't they? it is an important job and it is a _ job, aren't they? it is an important job and it is a really _ job, aren't they? it is an important job and it is a really complicated i job and it is a really complicated job. we have been looking at how far their tentacles stretch, and in the various complicated ways. this is the global picture which we will be talking about later on. come and meet aaron and marx, aaron is doing something called scam baiting, he has entered a facebook chat with somebody who is potentially selling football tickets that could be fake so it is a slowly slowly catch the scam game for you. over here, look at this video of donny osmond. this has been sent to someone called karen, it is a deep fake video, it

uses her name directly, and asks her for money. this is sadly part of something called a romance scam that you are seeing more and more. yes. you are seeing more and more. yes, these scammers _ you are seeing more and more. yes, these scammers are _ you are seeing more and more. “as these scammers are getting really sophisticated. they build up an online relationship with you over time, to try and steal money, but they use deep fake technology, it might look and sound like donny osmond but it's nothing to do with him. it osmond but it's nothing to do with him. , , ., . , ., him. it uses her name directly and the tone is — him. it uses her name directly and the tone is really _ him. it uses her name directly and the tone is really affectionate - him. it uses her name directly and the tone is really affectionate and | the tone is really affectionate and warm. it's a good job they have their eye on things like this. the work they are doing is becoming increasingly important. you will have noticed on bbc breakfast we have noticed on bbc breakfast we have been keeping a tally this week of the amount of money lost to scammers at all times, since the stroke of midnight sunday into monday, an estimated £3.6 million has been lost to scammers across the uk. the good news is, work at places like this are intercepting scammers and it helped prevent £1.2 billion

of fraud last year. despite hundreds of fraud last year. despite hundreds of thousands of scams being reported to authorities, fewer than i% of thousands of scams being reported to authorities, fewer than 1% result in criminal proceedings. they are working day and night at this help about their work is getting harder as lucy gray reports. hi, this is adam. on your statements, you will receive a verification code. can i give you a callback? the scam interceptors are currently filming for their next episodes, and they're watching the scammers. and we're going to go in and watch them watch the scammers. i'm helping you. do you remember the password? it's a very busy morning in the scam hub, and we're looking at access at the moment to three different call centres. let's have a listen in and see exactly what we get. internet provider impersonation scam in process here. and it sounds for the scammers at least quite promising. yeah, now once you press that arrow. the scam interceptors team have hacked into a call centre in calcutta in the indian state of west bengal. they can hear the scammers' calls and even see their screens. this is basically what the floor

manager of a scam call centre will look at. they've got 270,000 almost ready to call today in the uk. one of them poses as sky or virgin media and claim that they're calling about problems with your internet connection. that's going to work for them today. why? we just had a massive storm, so people are genuinely going to be having issues with their internet. 0h, is she downloading the remote access now? oh, no. so it sounds like the scammer has talked this woman into giving remote access on her devices. so it now sounds like they're getting her to access her online banking, unfortunately. the team need to warn this woman she's being scammed. they can't reach her on her phone because she's talking to the scammer. but as they listen in, they find out where she lives. so they look for someone nearby. we've got ourselves a neighbour. the man at number 19, he's just down the road from this woman. he's going to go and knock on her door. now i'm on the phone. he'sjust like, what am i supposed to do? there's a problem.

that's what he just said. it's a very odd place now where we're listening to the conversation happening in her hallway. the scammers are listening to it as well. you came back, hello? call ends. whoo! that noise that you heard there, that little squeak, that sound is the sound of a champagne cork popping to us. because that's every single time that we know the victim has put the phone down, that the scammers' target has ended the call, we hear that. a big win for the team. the scam has been stopped, but the victory is short lived. within seconds, they hear the criminal call centre move on to their next potential victim. oh, my goodness. talk to me, ma'am. lucy grey, bbc news, glasgow. in the time you have been watching that report, the embassy in this room has completely, rob can explain

why, you havejust an room has completely, rob can explain why, you have just an active case? exactly that. in the last few moments nick has picked up a call centre we are following, they have got a target in the uk that they are pretending they are from a bank, and we know it is a well—known scan they use where they call it a bank impersonation scam, they get people to move their money into a safe account, supposedly, it's a complete scam, though. that is ongoing at the moment so nick is trying to pick out as many details as he can as to who this person is, where they are and how we can get some help to them and intercept it. haifa how we can get some help to them and interce -t it. ., ., i. ., ., intercept it. how do you do that once ou intercept it. how do you do that once you know _ intercept it. how do you do that once you know who _ intercept it. how do you do that once you know who it _ intercept it. how do you do that once you know who it is? - intercept it. how do you do that once you know who it is? it's i intercept it. how do you do that i once you know who it is? it's really difficult, because _ once you know who it is? it's really difficult, because we _ once you know who it is? it's really difficult, because we have - once you know who it is? it's really difficult, because we have to i once you know who it is? it's really difficult, because we have to try i difficult, because we have to try and pick out clues as to what is going on and see who the other person on the phone is. sometimes we have only got a landline, sometimes we get a mobile and landline, sometimes we get a full name. as many pieces of the jigsaw that we

stations in peak hours" due to overcrowding, according to a leaked report sent to bbc london. the report said they both need to be urgently upgraded to remain safe. recently, a travel watchdog said passengers at euston were being put in danger by "high levels of overcrowding". transport for london has said it would never allow a situation where a station it runs is unsafe. staying with travel and tfl says it is to take enforcement action against dockless e—bike operators who fail to act when bikes are left in the wrong place. it says it's also to fund more than 7,000 new parking spots for the bikes — to try and prevent them being left as potential trip hazards on the streets. now, if you're a star wars fan, you'll be pleased to know it's not long to wait for the latest spin—off in the star wars world. it's a new tv series called skeleton crew. at the launch in trafalgar square the london star of the show,

jude law, told bbc london he's pretty excited to be joining one of the world's most successful franchises. it was odd how familiar it was. i guess as i grew up, it was a big part of my play in my formative years so it felt oddly familiar. let's take a look at the tubes now. some of the earlier issues have cleared up but still problems on the elizabeth, metropolian, northern and piccadilly lines. now on to the weather with kawser. hello there. good morning. well, after what was a chillier night last night, today we're looking at largely dry conditions with some sunny spells, but it will become wet and windy overnight tonight. for the time being, though, a lot of dry weather. there will be some spells of sunshine, the sunshine perhaps hazy at times into the afternoon, with more in the way of high cloud around and temperatures reaching around 8 to 10 celsius. now for this evening it starts off dry, but then we'll see thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds by the end of the night.

now, some of this rain could be heavy in places and temperatures dipping down to around 6 to 10 celsius. 50 still some further outbreaks of rain for a time during the day tomorrow. but this system will gradually clear away. and then for the next few days we see high pressure building. although there is an area of low pressure waiting in the wings that could bring some rain later in the weekend. but once this system clears through on wednesday, we are looking at a lot of dry weather. some spells of sunshine around as well, but it will be chilly by day and by night, and there could be some mist and fog patches that may be slow to clear in the mornings. that's your forecast. the final morning update will be at around 9.15am. there's more on our website including an article about the cordon bleu chef, who's opened community cookery school. have a very good morning. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast

with sally nugent and jon kay. we are looking at the weather, the impact at the weekend. lots of people across the uk are still feeling the impact of flooding after storm bert. more rain is due to fall on already saturated ground in southern england and south wales later — where there has already been major disruption. there are currently 130 flood warnings in place across england, six in wales and one in scotland. there's also a severe flood warning, meaning danger to life, issued for areas next to the river nene in northampton. the impact of storm bert has been substantial across the uk — a major incident has been declared in northampton. this was the scene at billing aquadrome caravan park, where 1,000 residents were told to evacuate — it's the third time the caravan park

has flooded this year. everybody had to get off site. the council were putting people in camp beds. it councilwere putting people in camp beds. . . . . councilwere putting people in camp beds. , , ., , , beds. it has been six months. this is the second _ beds. it has been six months. this is the second time. _ beds. it has been six months. this is the second time. emergency - is the second time. emergency services said _ is the second time. emergency services said they _ is the second time. emergency services said they are - is the second time. emergency services said they are still- services said they are still monitoring the water levels closely. we had a number of residents who were displaced. 52 people have been supported and rescued from their homes by the buyer service and ourselves. it needs to be taken seriously. we had to deal with the run—off. we have to make sure we have the right response in place. just two years ago, the environment agency estimated that 5.7 million properties in england were at risk from flooding. that's an increase of around 500,000 homes on the previous year. in a moment, we'll speak to our reporter nicky schiller in northampton and our wales correspondent tomos morgan who is in cwmtillery.

our wales correspondent tomos morgan is in cwmtillery. the workers have arrived and started to clear some of the slurry in cwmtillery. it'll came down this hill late on sunday night into the hours of monday morning. you can see the excess water from the torrential rainfall that happened. it all came down from the top with the old coal tip. you can see the pictures we had yesterday, the extent of the slurry that came down the mountain over the period of 24 hours sunday into monday. that is category d coal tip. what that means is it has the greatest impact potentially to public safety. there are a number of them in south wales valleys for mining towns. 7 million was given to keep those places say. the cost of

remediating the coal tips was £600 million. the welsh mp has been called for more money. the workers are very busy this morning i trying to clear all of the rubble that has been left here. people living in those homes where they have had to be evacuated until this road is clear and safe again. i am told that can be a couple of weeks.- clear and safe again. i am told that can be a couple of weeks. on friday, mps at westminster will vote on a bill to allow assisted dying in england and wales. so, let'sjust remind ourselves of the proposals set out by back—bench mp kim leadbeatter. her law would apply to terminally ill adults — who are aged 18 or over, registered with a gp and who are expected to die within six months — they must also have the mental capacity to make the choice. they would be able to seek help to die if two doctors agree and a high courtjudge approves.

they would need to take the lethal dose themselves unlike in some other countries where medical professionals can administer it. mps will debate and vote on the issue this friday and if approved, the proposed law would still have many further rounds of debate, including in the house of lords. our political correspondent, harry farley has been speaking to mp5. my dad's diagnosis was a complete shock. he had some symptoms, none of us expected it to be terminal cancer. the decisions made this week on assisted dying are, for many mps, personal as well as political. this law would fundamentally change the relationship between a patient and their doctor. my dad died of terminal cancer a few years ago, and i know that if, as would have been allowed under this law, his doctor had suggested to him that he should think about killing himself because he was terminally ill, that would have terrified him.

polling suggests that most of the public would support a change in the law on this. what would you say to those who say this is about autonomy, and people deserve the right to choose when they die? i understand the argument that's being made, and it is about giving a pretty small and very articulate group of people who i do feel real empathy towards, giving them the choice that they seek. the problem is that giving them the choice they seek puts a much larger, very vulnerable group of people in harm's way. behind the arguments is the memory of a loved one lost. it's partly because of my dad, i think that i'm sitting here now. he first brought me to parliament when i was a school kid, and it's a great sadness to me that he wasn't here to see me take my seat. i wish very much he was here to be part of it. and do you think he would have opposed this change as well? 100%, i know he would have. my dad was really larger than life. he was a wonderful man, he was great fun. and he was a farmer,

he loved the countryside, and he's really given that love to me. similar experiences have led others to different conclusions. last year he became really ill and he was given - a terminal diagnosis. the last few days were incredibly difficult. - he was in a lot of pain and, um, it was really, really, _ really hard to see someone - you really love going through that. he struggled to breathe, _ and so seeing him like that made me realise that we needed a change of the law and that we need - to be able to choose, and that's what i'd i like for other people. has that been a difficult process to reach that decision or... it's certainly not a decision i've taken lightly, but that - that was the biggest factor, i seeing a death close at hand. and a choice that you wish that your dad had. absolutely, i don't know. if he would have taken that choice or not, of course, but i wish he would -

have had that choice. while some have made their decision, many mps are still wrestling with how they'll vote. approaching the election, i was fairly sure that i was in favour of, you know, some measures to allow assisted dying. but having looked at this process, i have got doubts. sean's wife has multiple sclerosis, which is an incurable but not terminal illness. she wouldn't be in scope for this bill, but it's shaping his thinking. we have talked about, you know, this issue of assisted dying, not necessarily on a sort of anticipating it, but clearly, what would you do in this situation? what are your views on it? she's very much pro—choice for the individual. i remain very much on the fence, and not as certain as i was before. the gravity of friday's decision weighs on many mps. whatever the outcome, all sides agree it will be a pivotal moment. harry farley, bbc

news, in westminster. a big decision before mps a big decision before mp5 on friday. here's carol with the weather. to start today you'll be less windy with fewer showers than yesterday. we were seeing pictures like this with blue sky. what we had today is storm bert continuing to pull away into the near continent. that opens the doors to this area of high pressure. lateranother the doors to this area of high pressure. later another area of low pressure. later another area of low pressure coming our way to change things. a lot of showers across scotland, some of them went treat on the tops of the highlands and grampian. showers coming in across northern ireland, southern scotland courtesy of a week of weather front. for most of us it is going to be tried. the weak weather front sinks south into northern england for the

course of the day producing showery outbreaks of rain. nothing too heavy. temperatures five to 12 north to south. by the end of the afternoon in the next area of low pressure is coming in from the south—west. it will be drifting north and east and will take when the areas where we have already seen rain. the heaviest will be either southern counties. we will hear the rumble of thunder with that. as a result it will not be as cold. temperatures will dip before the low pressure comes on and then pick up as the low pressure moves across us. it will not get into northern england, parts of scotland or northern ireland. that means it will be cold with frost. this will drift north—east and could deposit snow over the hills of wales and the peak district. to the north—west drier and brighter with a peppering of showers. as the low pressure moves away it will have a sting in its

tail. gusty winds in lincolnshire, east anglia, potentially came richard down into the south—east were gusting 50, 50 five miles an hour. furthershowers were gusting 50, 50 five miles an hour. further showers across south—east scotland and north—east england. temperatures four tip 14. through the week that moves away wednesday overnight allowing this area of high pressure to build which is keeping these weather fronts at bay in the atlantic. one of them will try to make inroads. it will be frosty to start on thursday. then it will left and we will be left with a lot of dry weather and sunny spells. in the west the cloud will gather and we will see spots of rain and the wind will pick up. temperatures three in aberdeen and glasgow, four in newcastle, five in hull but ten in newcastle, five in hull but ten in plymouth. into the weekend it looks very much like temperatures will start to rise a bit compared with where they have been but then

they will slip once again as we head into the next week.— into the next week. thank you very much. five years on from winning the mercury prize, the singer songwriter, michael kiwanuka is back with a brand—new album. small changes is currently leading the midweek charts and he's giving breakfast an exclusive this morning. lovely to see you. you are having a frantic week, aren't you? it has been quite a break. why the break? you lived to get inspiration for yoursongs you lived to get inspiration for your songs and you have to make the record. the making it was not that long. i took quite big gaps. just let the inspiration come naturally. you do not realise it is five years. it has been half a decade! harper

and clyde canal represent clydesdales, the heavy horses that powered the industrial revolution. can he do it without holding on? the kelpies celebrated their 10th birthday this year. until now, you could only see them from the outside. we're bringing folk in and having them with a guide for the 90 minutes they go round. we can tell them the story of the canals — the history and heritage of the canals, the design of the kelpies. the last ten years, the money it's brought to the local economy, and also just a really great adventure experience as well. so what better way to find out more about the kelpies than to try the climbing experience myself? so groups of eight at a time are going to get harnessed up. they're going to get helmeted up just like yourselves, and are going to ascend 25m right up into the mouth of the kelpies. they're going to do that by a series of platforms that are suspended by cables and rope and cable crossings, all the way up — 25m high. amazing views out of the kelpies mouth. each kelpie... we're climbing the one called baron, weighs 300 tonnes and is constructed for more

than 18,000 individual components. a little journey across the nets, and there's a series of nets and ladders lead us all into the mouth. and every step of the 25m climb brings a new challenge. wow. i've never done anything like this before and it's incredible what you can see from up here. i suppose you'd say it's the view straight from the horse's mouth. and what goes up must come down, even if the landing was a bit bumpy. well, for someone that is scared of heights, i'm astonished that i did it. it's an extraordinary experience. once in a lifetime. katrina renton, bbc news at the kelpies. well done. fair play. we talked yesterday about what it would be like and now we know. she has done it for us.

live from london, this is bbc news. ukraine's air force says russia has launched a record number of drone strikes, damaging critical infrastructure across the country. israel's cabinet prepares for a special meeting on whether to approve

a ceasefire deal with hezbollah. the clean—up operation begins after storm bert brought major disruption to parts of the uk, but more rain is on the way. and sir rod stewart has been named as the artist to play the coveted legends slot at next year's glastonbury festival. welcome. the ukrainian air force says russia has launched a record number of drones overnight, damaging buildings and critical infrastructure in several regions. the attacks took place across ukraine, with officials describing them as 'massive' in scale. 188 drones were involved, many of which are believed to be iranian—designed shahed unmanned aerial vehicles. 76 were shot down and another 95 were either lost from radar tracking, or brought down by electronicjamming systems.

so that would suggest that at least 17 got through.
