there may be co—conspirators. investigation is obviously continuing into that and much more? yeah, that is right. this area here in the heart of the french quarter, bourbon street, still an active crime scene. still though some of those details are a bit murky, including when it comes to those co—conspirators. cctv footage appears to show several individuals around some of the suspected explosive devices discovered outside of that vehicle. we do understand now that those individuals are no longer of interest. but this investigation does continue to expand, even to other locations. two miles from where we are a new audience, your rental property believed to have been used by the suspect, potentially even for bomb—making purposes. and a third location in another state, texas, houston in texas, where the suspect is from. authorities are searching property there, believed to be as home. and then there are social

elon musk is a close ally of the president elect, who is a part owner of the hotel. president biden said the intelligence community was investigating the explosion, but he added that so far there was nothing to report on a possible connection with the attack he new orleans. peter bowes, bbc news. three days of national mourning have been declared in montenegro, after a gunman killed 10 people — including two children — in a series of shootings in the town of cetinje. police say the suspect, who later took his own life, had been drinking heavily before becoming involved in an argument at a bar. he later returned with a weapon and opened fire, with the bar's owner among the dead. the proportion of patients in england being diagnosed with cancer at an early stage has risen to its highest ever level, according to new nhs figures. the latest data on 13 of the most common cancers, such as breast, prostate and lung cancer, shows that nearly three in five patients are now being diagnosed at the earliest stages of the disease, when it is

far easier to treat. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports: in a bradford city centre car park this van represents the latest front in the battle against cancer. this is trevor. the use of mobile scanners like this is just one way the nhs is trying to catch more cases of liver and lung cancers earlier, when they're much more treatable. this liver scanner is open to anyone who's passing. no appointment needed, just walk in. the vans that house the scanners are sent to places where they can catch the attention of the most people — shopping centres, football grounds, supermarkets. you've got a nice healthy liver there. and for oliver, it's been a positive experience. it's convenient for me because it'sjust right here in a car park. and also, it's always good to have a medical check if you have the opportunity. sometimes we are always busy with whatever we are doing

in our day to day lives and we forget about our health. it's very, very important to have a medical check. so it's an opportunity, which i grab with my two hands. the latest data on early cancer diagnosis suggests that over the past year, nearly 60% of the most common cancers were diagnosed at an early stage. that's an increase in detection rates that corresponds to an estimated 7,000 more patients. and in total, more than three million people were seen for urgent cancer checks over the last year, a big increase when compared to before the pandemic. liver scanning vans are especially important, as cancer can develop long before symptoms become obvious. the problem with liver disease is that it is asymptomatic for a really long time, so people, even with quite advanced disease, may have no idea that they have liver disease. the purpose of this scan is to allow us to detect that before it becomes symptomatic. liver disease becomes symptomatic at a really advanced stage,

by which time it's really too late to offer many treatments. we don't want to meet people at that stage. we want to meet people at a much earlier stage, where we can offer them as many treatments as possible. spotting cancers early is a big step towards successful treatment. but in october, just 68% of cancer patients were seen within 62 days of an urgent referral, well below the target of 85%. you so the challenge facing the nhs this coming year is to improve treatment times for those who are diagnosed. dominic hughes, bbc news. rail passengers on avanti west coast routes will suffer fresh disruption today because of a strike by train managers. members of the rail, maritime and transport union are walking out

nearly 13,500 stores closed down last year. that is up 28% compared to the year before. hundreds of people have been rescued from their homes in north—west england due to severe flooding. greater manchester police said 445 people had been evacuated from a hotel in didsbury, and it would continue to work through the night and the coming days to monitor the flooding situation and ensure displaced residents were supported. we can speak tojessica lane in stockport. good morning. as i understand it, the area immediately behind you was one of the places where vehicles were underwater? that is riuht. where vehicles were underwater? that is right. yes. — where vehicles were underwater? trust is right. yes, here there was really bad flooding. the water yesterday was waist high. and the cars you can see in this car park were practically underwater. you might be able to see what has been left now is this thick mod which is obviously going to be very damaging. thankfully for everyone here the water has started to go down. this building here, it is an old converted mill, it has now got about

200 flats inside. and yesterday, the 400 people who live here were trapped inside. they had no water, they had no power. the police had to come down. they called in the fire service. they called it mountain rescue. at one point of the fire service said they were going to the ring bringing boating to get people out. —— considering. they were very concerned about the people who couldn't get down because of the flooding. it took the fire service about 12 hours, but they did manage to get everyone out. get them to safety. and then security building as well. the people who live here have been told it could be as late as tomorrow before they are allowed to move back in when in all their power and water will be restored. of course it wasn'tjust here in stockport that the flooding affected people. there were incidents in warrington, in didsbury, and we have seen a bridge collapse as well. thankfully for everyone in the rain has started to ease. the flood water has started to ease. the flood water has started to go away. but the new warning is for ice. that is

affecting scotland, northern ireland, north wales, and down to the midlands of england. thank you. jessica they're mentioning ice being a concern. matt can tell us much more. happy new year. ., , , can tell us much more. happy new year. . , _ ., ., can tell us much more. happy new year. ., ., year. happy new year to you as well. i can see year. happy new year to you as well. i can see the — year. happy new year to you as well. i can see the frosty _ year. happy new year to you as well. i can see the frosty ground _ year. happy new year to you as well. i can see the frosty ground behind i i can see the frosty ground behind you. what should people be concerned about today? at least we have done with the heavy rain for now. a much drier day to come. plenty of sunshine. an ice risk across the northern part of the uk, especially this morning. temperatures well below freezing. if you're about to step out, cold spots in cumbria, not far from step out, cold spots in cumbria, not farfrom penrith. widely the step out, cold spots in cumbria, not far from penrith. widely the well below freezing in scotland, northern ireland and northern parts of england. temperatures four cell seasoned southern counties of the uk. showers in northern ireland,

minutes past six. fossilised bones aren't the only way of studying dinosaurs. preserved footprints can also offer an insight into their lives. now some of the biggest trackways everfound in the uk have been discovered in oxfordshire, and scientists are hoping it'll help them understand even more about how dinosaurs moved around. our science editor rebecca morelle has more. following in the footsteps of a jurassic giant. this is where a dinosaur walked 166 million years ago, its footprints revealing the comings and goings of a prehistoric world. but it wasn't alone. different trackways crisscross this entire site. they were discovered on the floor of a limestone quarry in oxfordshire by one of the workers. so i was basically clearing the clay and i was hitting a hump. so like, this here?

yeah, yeah. as it turned out, it was this front bit i was hitting and i thought it was just an abnormality in the ground. but then it got to another about three metres long, it was hump again. and then another three metres, hump again. and when i got out and examined it, it looked like footprints. and the weird thing about it was, when you sit there, it was like, i'm the first person to see them. yeah, it was a bit... yeah, a bit of a tingling moment, really. over the summer, scientists, students and volunteers joined the dig. they discovered about 200 footprints, some stretching for 150 metres, making it the largest tracksite everfound in the uk and one of the biggest in the world. this is the first trackway that was discovered here. it was made by a sauropod, a huge long—necked dinosaur, but the team quickly realised it wasn't the only one, and they found footprints from two more sauropods, as well as from a smaller, meat—eating two—legged dinosaur called

a megalosaur, and they think that there are plenty more of these waiting to be discovered here. the area was once a tropical lagoon, and the tracks were made as the dinosaurs walked across the mud. but something happened that stopped the footprints from being washed away, possibly a storm that covered them up with sediment, perfectly preserving them. so the really lovely thing about a dinosaur footprint, particularly if you have a trackway, is that it is a snapshot in the life of the animal. you can learn things about how that animal moved. you can learn how fast it was moving. you can learn exactly what the environment that it was living in was like. so, tracks give us a whole different set of information that you can't get from the bone fossil record. we're coming up to a dinosaur crossroads. what you have here are footprints from a sauropod, and you can actually see as it pressed down into the mud how it created this ridge here. there is also a footprint

from a smaller, two—legged, meat—eating dinosaur called a megalosaur. and it was moving in this direction. the question is, which one walked through here first? and scientists think it was the sauropod, because you can see how the smaller megalosaur footprints slightly crushed down this ridge as it was walking through. at the oxford university museum of natural history, a megalosaurus specimen is one of the world's most important fossils. megalosaurus was the first dinosaur ever named anywhere in the world. so this exact fossil, this is the real one in my hands, this fossil started all of the last 200 years of dinosaur science. the whole animal would have been between six and nine metres in length. and in life, this animal would have had these impressive serrated teeth all the way along its jaw bone. these were agile, carnivorous predators. they were the largest predatory dinosaurs in thejurassic period in britain. the future fate of the trackways hasn't yet been decided.

the quarrying will go on here for several years. but palaeontologists think there are more footprints. echoes of our prehistoric past just waiting to be discovered. rebecca morelle, bbc news, oxfordshire. when you look at it from above, use your imagination to imagine them running across. the moment the chap from the digger described first seeing a footprint. tingling feeling. and you can see more on the dinosaur trackways on digging for britain which is on bbc two and the iplayer from wednesday, the 8th of january. let's take a look at today's papers, and the majority lead with the news of the attack in new orleans. the daily mirror says america is under attack, reflecting both the incident in louisiana, as well as the explosion of a tesla cybertruck in las vegas which killed one person and injured several others. the front page of the daily

express is also dominated by the attack in new orleans, saying that the pure evil attacker was hell bent on carnage. meanwhile, the i paper says temporary courts, which were originally intended to deal with pandemic—era backlogs, will remain operational for at least another 12 months. it says ongoing delays in the justice system have led to distressed victims pulling out of prosecutions. and the telegraph's front page says temperatures will fall to minus ten degrees this weekend, with the uk's health security agency warning it could have a significant impact across health and social care services. 22 minutes past six. car ownership is set to get more expensive this year, with tax increases for many vehicles. dan's looking at the details for us this morning. good morning. many people think, an

electric vehicle because i thought it would be good for the environment, and i would save on taxes? , ,, ., , environment, and i would save on taxes? , ,, ., ., taxes? yes, essentially what we are talkin: taxes? yes, essentially what we are talking about _ taxes? yes, essentially what we are talking about here _ taxes? yes, essentially what we are talking about here are _ taxes? yes, essentially what we are talking about here are changes i taxes? yes, essentially what we are talking about here are changes to i talking about here are changes to vehicle excise duty, car tax. the biggest change is coming, brand—new cars and electric vehicles. quite a lot of detail in all of this. so, from april, electric vehicles will no longer be tax exempt. if you buy a brand—new one you will pay £10 to tax it for the first year. after that he will pay a standard rate, one of the £95 a year. now if you have already got an electric car, you will face an increase too. £195, the next time your taxes up for renewal in april. those registered between 2001 and 2017 will face a new charge, £20 per year. now if you're buying a new car with a list price greater

than £40,000, it's what is considered an expensive car, and you'll pay more for that. evs are getting hit with this one for the first time too. it's an extra £410 a year for the car's first five years — even if you're buying it second—hand. it's thought around two—thirds of electric cars will fall into this bracket. what about petrol, diesel or hybrid cars? well, yes there's changes there too. there's a £100 increase in first year rates for the lowest—polluting cars. the highest polluters will see their rates double. so those buying something a bit more flash. you could be hit with a first year tax as high as £5,500. most will be lower than that. the main ta -e most will be lower than that. the main tape for _ most will be lower than that. the main tape for saving money of course is to try— main tape for saving money of course is to try and _ main tape for saving money of course is to try and buy before these changes— is to try and buy before these changes come into effect. they come into effect _ changes come into effect. they come into effect in april 2025. so if you are thinking of buying a brand—new car, if— are thinking of buying a brand—new car, if you — are thinking of buying a brand—new car, if you can get in before then, happy— car, if you can get in before then, happy days. —

hello, good morning from bbc london. greater london has done better during december�*s peak shopping period compared to the uk average, but numbers are still down on the previous year. december 18th to the 31st is typically the busiest period for shopper, but london saw a drop in footfall of 8.6% compared to the uk average drop of 11.2% on 2023. analysts say there are signs that the cost—of—living crisis is still prominent for many consumers, although london's international status is a benefit. london's classed as a tourist destination and so it will see a lot of international tourism. it will see tourism from all over the uk as well, and coming to see the sights that greater london has to offer, that the capital has to offer as well, especially during the christmas period. it's become a destination and that's probably why it's faring much better on average compared to the rest of the uk. the new boss of the company building hs2 has warned the project is in "a very serious situation"

and needs a "fundamental reset". the government's last estimate of the overall cost for the remaining london to birmingham stretch is between 45 and 54 billion pounds. but mark wild, who took over as chief executive in december, says he's committed to ensuring hs2 can be brought into service "safely and efficiently". a year ago, the country's first urban beavers were introduced to their new home in greenford in west london. they live next to a retail park and experts say the project has been a great success — the beavers are happy there and have had babies. now some are being moved to help re—populate other areas of the uk. very exciting phase of the project is we are taking the adolescent female. so the eldest daughter, she will be three in spring and naturally she would want to go off and find a territory of her own. so we found her a bachelor beaver in wales, and she's going to start a new family down there. on the tube the piccadilly

line has no service between rayners lane and uxbridge due a shortage of trains. and on the mildmay line no service southbound from willesdenjunction to shepherds bush now onto the weather with kawser. hello there. good morning. well, after yesterday's wet and windy weather today, a very different sort of day. a very chilly start and it remains cold throughout the day, but largely dry and bright conditions out there. there'll be some variable cloud around, more in the way of bright or sunny spells developing this afternoon, though, and temperatures will only reach around 2 to 5 degrees. now, for this evening and overnight then, it remains dry with clear skies and another very chilly night as temperatures widely dip below freezing, maybe down to —1 to —3 celsius in some spots. and where we still have some lying water from yesterday's rain, there is the risk of some icy stretches on untreated roads and surfaces. it does remain dry throughout the day on friday with some spells of sunshine, but then our attention turns to this area of low pressure. now there is some uncertainty with the detail, and there's already a yellow met office warning in force for the risk of snow. quite a broad brush warning. it is subject to change.

transient snow for us, quickly turning to rain with much milder air in store on sunday. keep up to date with the forecast. that's it — you can keep up to date with all the day's stories on our website. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's return to our top story this morning, police in new orleans say the man who carried out an attack in new orleans, on new year's day, did not act alone. the incident happened in the city's french quarter — an area popular with tourists, and a nightlife hotspot, in southern louisiana. 15 people were killed and at least 35 have been left injured after a man drove a pick—up truck into a large crowd. the fbi has said it is treating the incident as an act of terrorism, and have named shamsud—din jabbar, a 42 year old from texas as the attacker. local police say he was armed, and died in a firefight with police

following the attack. in a press conference, the fbi said an improvised explosive device was found at the scene, and that they are certain multiple people are involved. witnesses have described the horrific scenes on new years day, and new orleans resident, and actor in the simpsons, harry shearer has told breakfast about how he first found out about the attack and the city's reaction. we were having a great new year's eve party here with friends, with music and fireworks over the mississippi river, went to sleep feeling very happy, woke up at about 830 in the morning to find out the news of what had happened overnight and we were just shocked and horrified. we couldn't believe it for a few moments until every screen in the house was screaming that news. i am about eight blocks away

and we are in a very quiet neighbourhood and that was very tourist neighbourhood in which the horror of the event happened. there were iuds discovered in other locations in the french quarter so i think people are on edge because nobody knows whether this is over yet. this college football championship game is happening tomorrow. a lot of officials have said i wasn't planning to go to this game but i'm going this game to show my support for the city, for its resilience. but, you know, some people who were going to go to that game who had come into town as tourists have been on television today saying i have a one—year—old child, i'm going back home and watching the game on television. so it is a mixture of both. the city is 300 years old and has gone through everything that nature and man can throw at it. resilience is its middle name. we can speak now to scott nelson,

who was in a nightclub nearby bourbon street when the attack took place. scott, i know you are not in new orleans at the moment but you were there. can you tell me what you knew as the incident was happening because you were inside a nightclub. the morning. i actually am still in new orleans. the scene is directly behind me, about a block and i was in a nightclub probably about 30 metres or so from the scene where the truck crashed and immediately we saw people fleeing the scene and law enforcement running towards it and the nightclub wanted to lock down at that point. also i wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to all of the victims. and send my thanks to those law enforcement officers who were on the scene and stopped the attack otherwise i might not be here speaking with you today. obviously it is very clear— speaking with you today. obviously it is very clear you _ speaking with you today. obviously it is very clear you are _
