9:33 am
been claiming he made sexually inappropriate remarks. he says he "needs to take some time out". downing street says his remarks in the video, where the presenter says allegations about improper language and behaviour, come from "middle class women of a certain age", were "completely inappropriate and misogynistic". he denies sexually harassing behaviour. here's noor nanji. we've given you a brief. that brief... back on our screens last night — gregg wallace on masterchef — after the bbc confirmed that it would go ahead, despite calls to consider pausing the series. i want to apologise for any offence that i caused with my post yesterday, and any upset i may have caused to a lot of people. he said sorry, after posting a video that got britain talking. he said he wasn't in a good head space, and has been under a huge amount of stress. it's obvious to me i need to take some time out now while this investigation is under way.
9:34 am
there's been 13. .. it's all a very different tone from his comments on social media on sunday, when he claimed that the allegations against him had come from a... ..handful of middle—class women of a certain age. that video sparked an immediate backlash, with even a downing street spokesperson describing the comments as inappropriate and misogynistic. others were more positive. you can only take people how you find them. and he was great with me, really supportive. i found the whole masterchef experience a positive one. let's go. the masterchef presenter has been under pressure after bbc news revealed a string of misconduct allegations against him. wallace's lawyers say it's entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature. our investigation heard from 13 people across a range of ages over a 17—year period. allegations we heard include gregg wallace taking his top off in front
9:35 am
of a female worker, staring at a worker's chest and asking her for massages, and asking a junior female employee the logistics of how she has sex as a lesbian. 20 minutes left, please. wallace stepped back from masterchef last week after we put the allegations to him, but all filmed episodes will go ahead — including the christmas special — with a bbc source saying the show is about more than one individual. noor nanji, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take you to brussels and a press conference by the new secretary general of nato, speaking ahead of a meeting of foreign ministers and welcoming a visit there by the king of jordan. let's listen. we are setting up our new nato command to co—ordinate security assistance and training for ukraine. this making our support more steadfast and also
9:36 am
sustainable. but we will all need to do more, specially now. the stronger our military support to ukraine is now, the stronger their hands will be at the negotiating table. and the sooner we can end russian aggression in ukraine. tomorrow, ministers will address russia's hostile actions in nato countries. russia and also china have tried to destabilise our nations with acts of sabotage, cyber attacks and energy black mail. none of these actions will deter us from supporting ukraine or making our own defences stronger. nato allies will continue to stand together to face these threats through a range of measure, including greater intelligence sharing and protection of our critical infrastructure. with that i'm
9:37 am
ready to take your questions. reuters? studio: we will leave that press conference by mark rutter. talking about the security alliances' continued support for ukraine, which is a keyissue support for ukraine, which is a key issue for them. they will be expecting a visit by the king ofjordan later on this afternoon. jaguar has unveiled its latest concept car in miami — the type 00. it's been a keenly awaited release, in large part because of the controversy that surrounded a teaser campaign for the launch last week. many on social media accused the historic brand of "going woke". let's have a quick look at that.

9:40 am
moving towards something with a bit more edge. whether there are people to buy those cars. the question is whether any publicity is good publicity at the end of the day. thank you. the greek prime minister, kyriakos mitsotakis, will visit downing street today. the visit to the uk is his first since a diplomatic row with the conservative government over the parthenon sculptures — previously known as the elgin marbles. number 10 have been keen to stress that their return is not on the agenda, but there are reports that talks are well advanced to allow the classical masterpiece to leave the british museum to be sent to athens. let's speak to dr georgios giannakopoulos. thank you forjoining us. we are seeing a big shift from the position of the previous government under rishi sunak and that of keir starmer, what

can. the bbc has announced its list of 100 women, which shines a spotlight on the inspiring and influential women who are making a difference around the world. british pop sensation raye is one of those who has been named this year, after making history as the first woman to win songwriter of the year at the brit awards. the grammy—nominated artist spoke to the bbc s kirsty grant about the highs and lows of female stardom in the music industry and her experience navigating life as an independent artist in a world still rife with misogyny. singer songwriter raye has had the kind of year other artists can only dream of. after leaving her label and going independent, she's won six brit awards. i can only describe it as a miracle. and is the first woman to have won songwriter of the year. i'm at a place where it's like i've achieved some insane things, but i'm still like relatively new or undiscovered in terms
9:51 am
of like, the world, you know what i mean? so where it's like these artists and female artists who are put on these huge, huge pedestals scares the living daylights out of me, honestly. like, i actually am like, there are times where you're like, do you want to be? i still have big dreams, but it's like, do i even want to? it's really scary, i think. i think it's actually quite scary. so it puts you off kind of reaching those levels of... oh, yeah, it's terrifying. what is it you're scared of, then? just when that level ofjudgementjust like becomes like, so micro and you just have to always be this perfect thing, or this well—spoken, polite, good person all the time, which no human is, that's just not real life. do you know what i mean? just being judged on that scale terrifies me. so it's a huge year for you, also a huge year for women in music. for women in music i would say like a lot of the top charts at
9:52 am
the moment are filled by women like chapel ro and sabrina carpenter, new names coming through. how does that feel? why do you think this is happening now? women are great. i don't know. i think it's a beautiful time, in a way how music is discovered and consumed now. you know, ithink the people decide. i think the gatekeepers that really used to be able to control what people were exposed to and got to discover, it's changed now because of social media and all of this stuff. so i think it's a really beautiful thing, and that great art is finding its way to the surface. it's kind of like a new time, and i guess people are seeing these incredible women doing incredible things and being like this, like, let's share it, let me listen to it. it's great, i'm so proud of the girls in that moment for charlie, like, i'm so proud of that woman. like, you know, she was the first artist i'd say was ever really, really nice to me. ithink, you know, back in the day, it was so, like, the kind of the men in my life were so like, you know,
9:53 am
that's your competition, that's your competition. and you get this kind of really skewed perspective on, on, on whatever, and you build a bunch of lies in your head. i mean, and charlie was like the woman who broke that for me. and i'm so happy that, you know, like this, that, you know, people saw her and they were like, i love this, let's just lift it up and take it to the heights that it deserved, you know? so it's just it's a really beautiful thing to see the girls thriving like this right now. we can speak to kirsty grant who conducted that interview. i guess the question is what was it like meeting raye and she mentioned some of the challenges of trying to deal with success and fame. do you get a sense of how she is handling those pressures? it handling those pressures? ut was amazing meeting her and the most interesting part was her self—perception, she referred to herself a few times as like not that big of an artist. i think because she has blown up
9:54 am
so quickly over the last year, i don't think she has quite taken in how big she has got since she left her label polydor after seven years in a contract where she claims she was not allowed to release her debut album. she released it independently and it went to no 2. ithink independently and it went to no 2. i think she hasn't taken that in and thinks she is up and coming. and she has been one of the biggest artists around this year and won six of the seven brits she was nominated for. i think it is nice, she is humble and gratefulfor nice, she is humble and grateful for everything that's happened. grateful for everything that's happened-— grateful for everything that's ha ened, ,, , .,, grateful for everything that's ha ened. ,, .,, , ., , ., happened. she has been able to achieve incredible _ happened. she has been able to achieve incredible success, - achieve incredible success, despite the challenges that you mentioned with her previous record label, is that why she made it on the 100 wm list? yes she has had _ made it on the 100 wm list? yes she has had an _ made it on the 100 wm list? yes she has had an interesting year, if you think of how she
9:55 am
started it and how she end it, she felt suffocated and she was felt she was put in a position and told to make musics she didn't like. this year she made an incredible bum and she has her dad as her manager. she is taking her time and we have seen stories about labels putting pressure on artists before, but i don't think we have seen someone who has turned it around and become successful after breaking a contract like raye. she is a great example of finding your power and not being afraid to make the music you want to make, that the audience have liked more than previous music she has made.— she has made. thank you. to find out more _ she has made. thank you. to find out more about - she has made. thank you. to find out more about the - she has made. thank you. to| find out more about the other women on this year's list, go

to the bbc web site and you can follow it on facebook and instagram. rest of the week is one of two halves. we will have some quieter and colder weather and some snow on the hills through the north on tuesday. by the end of the week it turns milder and wetter and windier as deep areas of low pressure move in. so we're in this ridge of high pressure though for tuesday, and this wedge of colder air, as you can see on the airmass chart. so it will be a colder start for many for tuesday morning. very cold across scotland, perhaps down to minus seven, minus eight celsius over the highlands
9:57 am
and the grampians. there will be some freezing fog patches around. some fog patches further south too, which may lift into low cloud, but for many it will be a dry and a sunny day with light winds. but across south—west england, northern ireland, western scotland we'll start to see a weather front pushing in, bringing outbreaks of rain in increasing breeze. but for most it stays dry through the day, but a cold one to come. temperatures struggling to get above freezing across scotland to around four or five degrees in the south. but as that rain bumps into the cold air across scotland during tuesday evening, we could see a spell of fairly significant hill snow here, with some accumulations, and maybe some for northern england, the cumbrian fells, north wales as we move through tuesday night. but as the weather front moves southwards and eastwards it tends to fizzle out to no more than a band of cloud with a few showers across southern areas. but again, it's going to be another cold night to come. touch of frost and possibly some ice too. so wednesday, then, it should be a mostly dry day once again thanks to a ridge of high pressure. so plenty of sunshine around, one or two showers around coastalareas, but later in the day we'll start to see the next weather front arriving across western areas. that will bring increasing cloud, breeze and also some rain, with temperatures lifting
9:58 am
here, but another chilly day to come elsewhere. it's all change, though, beyond wednesday. thursday, friday, we'll start to see a deep area of low pressure spread across the country, bringing a spell of very wet and windy weather with widespread gales and another one hot on its heels. so we'll see wet, windy weather early on thursday push its way eastwards. a bit of sunshine, then the wind, the rain, the gales start to build up again as another system pushes in from the south—west, but that'll be ushering in some mild air with temperatures ranging from ten to 14 or 15 degrees from north to south across the country. could see a spell of potentially very stormy weather friday night into saturday. this is certainly one to watch. and then for part two of the weekend it'll turn colder but brighter once again. take care.
