amber weather warnings remian in place in parts of northern england and the midlands after snow and ice brought disruption to parts of the uk. forecasters say up to a0 centimetres of snow could fall in some places, and temperatures could fall as low as minus 10 celsius. there's a warning of more delays and disruption to come. nicky schiller has spent the morning in leeds which has had significant showfall overnight.

it is easing off in terms of the snow but there has been a lot of snow in this area. you can see all around me, the trees. there are piles of snow and it is on the road and i'm having to wear wellies. here in west yorkshire there has been 12 centimetres of snow overnight and in cumbria there has been ten centimetres. now, i am in this amber warning area for snow. and this covers yorkshire, it goes up to northumberland and over to cumbria so it is a wide area that this alert is in force for. it is in force until midnight tonight. the other amber warning is further down in the midlands and that is for the snow and ice but the temperatures are rising there so the snow is melting. that

brings its own problems because if temperatures do get colder again it could freeze on the road but here in west yorkshire, they are a hardy lot and they have been out. we have seen people out and about. people are getting onto the road and it is up in the higher ground, particularly over the pennines where they are worried that there could be up to a0 centimetres of snow. so that is a concern. 0ne centimetres of snow. so that is a concern. one of the main roads that often get shut has been shut in that area but the authorities, keeping an eye, if the snow does continue to fall there. we hearfrom national highways that most of the main routes are open. some of those over the higher ground had been shut but they are advising anyone who is going out today to make sure that they take precautions. things like having some water with you. a fully charged mobile phone and a blanket or a sleeping bag just in case you do get trapped.

if your new year's resolutions involve exercise or doing something to help the environment, then this next activity might be right up your street. it's called �*plogging' and combinesjogging with picking up litter. the trend, which originates from sweden, has grown in popularity across the world, including in the uk, as ross pollard reports. the blacks are for rubbish and the greens for recycling. on a sunday morning in winter, these runners like nothing better than grabbing that litter bag and exploring bristol. it is called plogging. you look after your physical and mental health and keeping active, meeting like—minded individuals and having a positive impact on your community, and also the planet. what we tend to do is run from a to b, do a litter pick,

and then we'll finish the plogging and run back. they waste no time in getting their liitter pickers out. it's good they're doing that little bit for the environment. it's nice to do this. it's a way to highlight it, andl keeping fit at the same time. you feel really good afterwards, because you feel good in yourself because you've had your run, and you feel like you've made a difference as well, and there are some nice people to chat to, so it ticks a lot of boxes. 2.805 kg. claire is one of the best, her sights set on in the plogging world championships. i hope to represent team gb, with other people. i

we want to grow plogging. if people take it on, i we can make our place a better place to live. so if you like keeping your local area tidy and keeping fit, they are always looking for volunteers. ross pollard, bbc news. new york has become the first us city to charge drivers a fee for taking vehicles into the centre of the city. congestion pricing will apply from 9am to 9pm on weekends, then from five in the morning until nine in the evening on weekdays. car drivers will now be charged nine dollars, or £7.25, to enter parts of manhattan. there are higher fees for trucks, with tourist buses paying the most. new york follows london, which has had a congestion charge since 2003, as well as places like singapore and stockholm with similar schemes. the initiative aims to reduce city traffic by 15 to 20 %, as well as raise billions

for the struggling subway system. the introduction has been delayed from june, after pushback from some commuters and businesses. the incoming president and prominent new yorker, donald trump, also strongly disagrees with the plan. but rachael fauss, senior policy advisor at the sustainable transport advocacy group, reinvent albany, explains why she's backing it. the projections are, it's going to reduce traffic congestion 7%, up to 10%. this toll is going to phase in over the next six years, up to $15. and obviously the higher the toll, the more the congestion reduction is going to be. but right now we have some of the slowest speeds in the country. we have vehicles that travel at about seven miles per hour. so anything would be an improvement over seven miles an hour. if you are a disabled person, so you have no other choice but to drive, you actually will be exempt from the toll. and if you are also a low income person, you will be exempt. so this toll is really hitting the people who can afford it the most. and by and large, you know,

85% of people who work in manhattan central business district take mass transit. so it's a very small percentage of people who do not. and generally they are much more wealthy and are more likely to be able to afford it. and for those drivers, the speeds are going to improve and they're going to have a more pleasant commute. a federaljudge in newjersey just rejected an attempt to put an injunction on the programme to stop it before it even started. so at least the federal judges who have ruled on the various court cases challenging congestion pricing, have all been ruling in favour of the programme. it makes it even more difficult for a trump administration to prevent it from happening, because inevitably it will go to court again and it will be even harderfor him to stop it when there's court precedent upholding this programme by federaljudges. with the increased demands of the winter period on the health service in england, the nhs is having

to find new solutions to get patients home quicker. at one hospital in surrey, a new frailty service is helping to free up bed space, with around 80—percent of elderly patients able to go home the same day they were treated. mark norman reports. what we were saying is we are going to try and get you the treatment today and then get everything ready hopefully to get you home a bit later on. alfred was admitted to a&e after his gp sent him to east surrey hospital. a few hours later, and he was brought into the new frailty unit. i've had this bladder problem, which they've pinpointed and are now dealing with, so... you know, things are under control, it seems. staff from the unit brought him into their department to do their best to get him home today. working closely with the ambulance service, community services and the hospital—at—home service, a same—day turnarounds preventing older and frail patients

on average, older people stay in hospital about 12 to 13 days. each day that you stay in hospital, the chances of returning home to your original place where you were living gets less because you get more poorly, your strength is less good, your mobility gets less good, so we wanted to try and address that, and we thought that if we moved our specialist geriatric services more to the front of the hospital to see older patients by specialist team earlier in their admission, we might be able to change that around a little bit. michael had a fall at home. he might typically be admitted for tests that could have meant more than one night in a hospital bed. i passed out and fell down the stairs last night. how are you feeling now? not too bad, a bit chesty. right. so if we can get to them early, get these patients home and provide that wraparound

care, then it's great for patients, it's great patient care and it's a really good experience for the patients. as a result of all of that as well, what happens is that prevents that avoidable admission, which then creates a bed for someone who's presented to our emergency department who actually needs that care. reducing bed occupancy will in turn reduce pressure on the emergency department — both key priorities for the nhs this winter. mark norman with that report from surrey. after 30 years of dreaming of flying with the red arrows, a nottinghamshire pilot has finally had his childhood dream come true. flight leutenant, rob thomas, saw one of their aerobatic displays as a young boy, and has been trying tojoin the team for years. sarah may ba—cherry has been to meet him. soaring through the skies. the job of a red arrows pilot is the ultimate role for many in the aircraft world. and for flight lieutenant rob thomas, his dream has recently become a reality.

he says he first saw the reds when he was 11. my parents brought me to warrington to watch an airshow. i vividly remember seeing the red arrows pull up into the diamond nine loop. and the sun, like today, reflecting off the backs of the jets, thatjust gave me butterflies and goose bumps. i still remember it now. that inspiration from watching that show has stuck with me. i've just been determined to make this boyhood dream become real. and here i am now, still not believing it's happening. new pilots are selected following rigorous tests and assessments. rob says he applied a few times to be part of the team, and now he will fly the red two position for the 2025 season. i still can't believe they've allowed me in the team, to be quite honest with you. i feel so privileged to be here. it's an absolute honour, it really is. you're a local lad, mansfield in nottingham. where's the dream fly—past then, where would you go if you could? the dream fly—past, my support network, my family,

my friends who have continued to support me throughout my career and making this dream real, i'd almost want to give back to them and give them a fly—past or a show of some description to thank them for what they've done. so rob's boyhood dream, which he held on to for 30 years, has finally come true. sarah—may buccieri, bbc news. back to the hottest show in la today, the golden globes. amanny mohamed is a film critic and entertainment podcast host of �*art2art with amanny mo'. she gave her predictions on what to expect this evening. definitely more of a mixed bag this year. _ definitely more of a mixed bag this year. it— definitely more of a mixed bag this year, it has _ definitely more of a mixed bag this year, it has to _ definitely more of a mixed bag this year, it has to be - definitely more of a mixed bag this year, it has to be said. - this year, it has to be said. amelia _ this year, it has to be said. amelia perr— this year, it has to be said. amelia perr as, _ this year, it has to be said. amelia perras, it- this year, it has to be said. amelia perr as, it is- this year, it has to be said. amelia perr as, it is a - this year, it has to be said. i amelia perr as, it is a musical thriller. it does sound a sort of a strange combination but it is actually the front runner with ten nominations and really it is not like last year where

it is not like last year where it was, you know, 0ppenheimer barbie, it was all a bit about this is much more interesting mix of films and actually, don't forget that the golden globes are nominated by the hollywood foreign press association so there is a bit more, arguably, a bit more critical element, you know. it is 300 or so journalists from around 80 or so countries deciding on these nominations. i mentioned emilia perez there but you've also got to be brutalist, with seven nominations. a fantastic film called conclave, cardinal drama up called conclave, cardinal drama up with ralph fiennes coming up with six. and it is kind of almost a year of the independent film as well. i really am excited about the fact that we see lots of films on here that are not only on the big screen, where it is important to watch movies, of course. but we get to see them

on streaming platform shortly after their release. i think what is interesting about the globes this year is many of these films that are nominated, we will not have seen yet, believe it or not. the brutalist, we have not seen. baby girl where nicole kidman is nominated in the best actress category. also maria as well, angelina jolie is in a biopic and a lot of these films are coming out this month so a very interesting combination of nominations 1534 00:21:31
