masterchef presenter gregg wallace has apologised for suggesting allegations against him came from "a handful of middle—class women of a certain age". in the last hour, he posted a video on instagram saying he was not in a good head space when he spoke out yesterday. take a look. i want to apologise for any offence i caused with my post yesterday and any upset i may have caused to people. i wasn't in a good headspace when i posted it on out have been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion, i have felt very alone and under siege when i posted it. it is obvious to me that i need to take some time out now this investigation is under way. i hope you understand and i do hope that you will accept this apology. earlier i spoke to our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. what he's apologising for in this case is the language he used at the weekend, when he was defending himself against the original allegations that have been made against him by a number of people. specifically, the phrase that most people have picked

up on is when he said the allegations came from a handful of middle—class women of a certain age. that's what he is apologising for in this particular case and what he said in the video, he said, "i want to apologise "for any offence that i caused with my post yesterday and any "upset that i may have caused to a lot of people. "i wasn't in a good headspace when i posted it. "i've been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion. "i felt very alone under siege yesterday when i posted it. "it's obvious to me i need to take some time out now "while this investigation is under way. "i hope you understand and i do hope you will "accept this apology." and of course, the investigation he's referring to there is being done by banijay uk, the production company behind masterchef and its spin off, celebrity masterchef, the professionals, because of a number of allegations of historical bad behaviour against gregg wallace that have been made by a number of individuals.

he denies those allegations through his lawyers. he said he's never engaged in inappropriate behaviour with these people, as described in the complaints. there's been lots of reaction today to all of this. one of the developments is that we have now got involved and made a comment, and we know that lisa nandy, the culture secretary, has been here to the bbc as well. what else have we learnt in terms of that response from london? well, yes, there has been a wide response and i think people, particularly politicians and downing street in particular, have felt they can weigh in on what the comments from the weekend were like. they've purposely kept away to an extent other than saying that they're very concerning the actual allegations of inappropriate behaviour, because understandably, they're waiting to see what the investigation turns up on, that it may be that greg wallace is completely cleared of those allegations. he's denied the allegations that have been put to him. 0n the other hand, he may be found guilty. we don't know until this investigation is under way. but what downing street have felt that it is appropriate to weigh in upon the way he defended himself

at the weekend. that phrase, "a handful of middle—class women "of a certain age", has really struck a chord, and lots of people have found it offensive. that said, over the weekend, wallace did post on his social media comments from people supporting him over what he had said on sunday. people who said they'd worked with him on previous shows, who had been contestants on shows that he had judged. so there were some supportive comments out there, as well. and we are in the middle of a series, a masterchef series. the next episode is due to air soon. are the calls growing, as well, for that to be paused orfor the programme to be taken off air? well, rupa huq, a mp who's on the house of commons culture, media and sport select committee, has said that the bbc should consider pulling it because it may be triggering to some of the women who've made allegations against gregg wallace. other people, including

the former head of the house of commons, harriet harman, have also said that the bbc should look very seriously at some of those issues. lisa nandy, the culture secretary, has said she's been in contact with bbc senior management about the situation, particularly from a point of view of whether the bbc�*s internal processes for dealing with complaints is up to scratch is fit for purpose, to use that phrase, that often comes out in situations like this. he was speaking to me a short while ago and more on the bbc website as we continue to file the story. we have some breaking news from france. throughout the morning we have been circulating about what would happen today when the social security budget came before parliament. we are now getting reports that france's prime minister has forced through his budget bill without a vote. now that risks a no—confidence showdown. so he has pushed the social security

budget through without a vote in parliament and this threatens the entire government and could see it collapse. we had some concessions being made earlier on today and understand that the prime minister made a last—minute concession and medical payments to try and persuade mps to adopt the measure. rememberthat persuade mps to adopt the measure. remember that part of this mix here is that he is in control of a minority government that is already fragile. marine le pen's far right national rally has said earlier that if he does this, if he forces this budget vote through without a vote, it is going to support a no—confidence vote in her government. that will be coming through from some of the left—wing governments. she will now support a motion of no confidence. so we have heard that the french prime minister has forced through the social

security budget without actually a vote in parliament. that vote was due to happen in about five minute's time. but we have gotten this news from paris that this has been voted through and threatens the french government. the other story we want to bring through is that they are going to vote through the... hello. after some very mild weather over the weekend, things have been turning colder from the north. it's not going to be cold all the time this week, but there is quite a lot of chilly weather in the forecast. cold enough for some snow over higher ground and particularly later in the week, there will also be spells of wind and rain. now, the cold air is pushing its way down from the north behind this frontal system. the front bringing a zone of clouds and bits and pieces of showery rain southwards across england and wales through the rest of the day.

a little bit of snow mixing in perhaps over higher ground on the back edge of that weather system. certainly some snow in the showers in northern scotland, even to relatively low levels, and temperatures tending to drop away as the afternoon wears on. it's going to be quite breezy out there, as well. now, overnight, the winds will ease. the remains of that frontal system will clear and under clear skies, temperatures are going to drop away. we could see some patches of freezing fog, particularly up towards the north and the west. —7 in the highlands, but widely those temperatures close to around or below freezing. so a cold start to tuesday morning with some fog patches. they should slowly lift and clear. then actually not a bad day with spells of sunshine. some patchy rain approaching the southwest of england, some heavier rain into northern ireland and western scotland. that rain turning to snow over high ground here. it's going to be a cold day and as we go through tuesday evening, we will see some snow falling, especially over high ground in scotland.

over the highest ground, maybe 5 to 8cm of snow. perhaps something wintry to slightly lower levels, but of snow also settling over the tops of the pennines, maybe even the mountains of north wales, and that area of rain and some hill snow petering out as it clears south eastwards into the start of wednesday. again, some early fog patches, maybe a bit of ice as well, some spells of sunshine but cloud and rain pushing in to the west. and while it will be another cold day for many, it does turn a little bit milder in western areas as this weather system approaches. now, this will bring a dose of rain, some strong winds up towards the north, another frontal system bringing another dose of rain and some strong winds on thursday. this time a little bit further southwards, and it does turn a little bit colder again as we head towards the weekend with more wind and rain and maybe some snow over the hills.
