keir starmer pledges to make uk — a �*great ai superpower�* — as he outlines plan for growth. can the uk government afford to prescribe weight loss jabs for all elegible patients? we'll bring you more about it. overdue and over budget, a new ferry to serve the isle of arran in the firth of clyde has come into service. now with all the latest sport here's will. tyson fury says he loved every single minute of his boxing career, after announcing his retirement from boxing for the third time. fury�*s decision comes after losing his heavyweight rematch with oleksandr usyk last month for the wba, wbo and wbc titles. he also claimed he was retiring in 2013 and 2017 but both were short lived. fury enjoyed two stints as heavyweight champion and holds

a record of 3a wins, two defeats and one draw. if this is the end of tyson fury�*s boxing career we won't get to see a long awaited fight with anthony joshua. that bout had been much anticipated for many years and joshua's promoter eddie hearn beleives there is a chance it could still happen. fear he doesn't want the fight, he doesn't want to fight. you can't drag him in the ring and he has earned the right to make whatever decision he wants. i don't know whether this was a move to stop the flow of pressure, because obviously with ajay calling him out, the pressure is mounting, for the fight. so it could be the start of a great build—up and great mind games or it could be the end of tyson. �*s career, eitherway, it's life. david moyes says everton will need everyone behind them if they're to avoid playing in the championship next season moyes has held his first press conference after returning to the club, more than a decade after leaving

for manchester united. everton are just a point above the relegation zone ahead of wednesday's game against aston villa but moyes is excited about the future. i had ihada i had a great time here, i'd love to be part of making it better if possible. and i think at the end of it, there's a stadium, the stadium looks the business, looks elite, so we need to start getting some elite players, get other players that we can give everybody something to shout about when we moved to the new stadium. there's a massive game at the city ground tomorrow night with nottingham forest hoping to stamp their mark on the premier league title race. forest's rise has been one of the stories of the season so far and they go into that game having won seven straight games in all competitons. nuno espirito santo�*s side could close the gap on leaders liverpool to three points if they beat them just as they did at anfield in september there was in the beginning of the

season, every team was starting the competition knowing each other, the weaknesses on the strengths, maybe it was a surprise. but it was a long time ago, many things have changed both things are different now, so it's a new game and new things will happen. and new things will happen. all four brits in action on day two of the australian open made it through to the second round. spearedheaded by british number one jack draper, jacob fearnley, harriet dart and jodie burridge also advanced. novak djokovic with ten aussie open titles to his name is also through, coming from being a set down to beat american wild card nishesh basavaredy. it's djokovic's first win with new coach andy murray in his corner. he knows tennis as well as anybody out there, he's a legend of the sport. he understands the highs and lows that you go through on the court, notjust game wise but mentally, physically. so i don't need to do much explaining, you

know? he gets everything, he gets everything i'm going through. i really enjoyed it. i really did enjoy it. i think he's a great guy and someone who is a pleasure to have him in my corner. it's day two of the masters snooker at alexandra palace and the former champion ding junhui is through to the quarter—finals. he beat anotherformer winner mark williams, coming through in a deciding frame to win 6—5, despite trailing 5—4. ding last won the event in 2011 and will face eitherjudd trump or barry hawkins next. and that's all the sport for now. thanks so much. the wildfires in los angeles have so far claimed the lives of 2a people — including 32—year—old rory sykes — a child actor who starred in the late 90s tv show kiddy kapers. rory had cerebral palsy and struggled with mobility — his mother shelley sykes has been speaking to our correspondent emma va rdy.

he says, "i'm not leaving, mum, you just go." isaid, "no, rory, get ready. be prepared." and he said, "no, i'm not going. "you sort yourself out." and you know, he's stubborn. but then he showed me he couldn't walk. he's already on crutches, but his feet had swelled so badly. anyway, it got thicker and thicker. and then the fire actually came behind the property and the smoke was just intense. at 3 or 4am in the morning, they sent the emergency — you've got to evacuate. so i wrapped myself up, went up to the cottage and said to rory, "come on, we've got to either come to the house or let's jump in the car and go down." and he just didn't want to leave. so i raced down, and i raced to the fire station up the road. the truck went up to my house and they were on the radio — just check if it's the third cottage or whatever where he's in.

and then, within an hour, they came back and said, "we want you to come up." so i'm thinking, "oh, my god, they haven't brought "rory back with them." so, you know, i'm holding my breath thinking, "oh, my god, "they've grabbed him and he's not breathing or something." so when i got there, i had the shock of my life. three cottages, within an hour, had burnt from top to bottom, to cinders and ash. there wasn't any tiles in his bathroom. there was no... there was no sides, no... it was just... well, you've seen it now. so the cottage he was in was gone? all three cottages. but his was just... all of them were levelled, levelled totally to the ground within a0 minutes. i can't... it doesn't seem real. that bit doesn't seem real. i don't seem to get emotional about that. it's because it doesn't seem real. i mean, how are you processing? how are you processing what happened? well, that... the biggest fear

i had was that he might burn and hurt, because i think burning must be the most painful death. and the fire department chiefs said, no, he will have died of carbon monoxide poisoning first, which made me feel a bit better. he would have gone to sleep first. he had gone to sleep first and he would have stopped breathing. and so i'm just... i just... sorry. no. ijust can't believe my baby's not going to be here. i can't even turn on the phone. i didn't even have any computer cables. he'd have been so cross with me. "mum, why didn't you get your hard drives and your laptop "and your telephone cables? " and, you know, he always kind of looked after that side for the whole team. and it's just going to be sad without him as my techie guy and my rock.

a 37—year—old man has been charged with attempted murder after a nurse was stabbed at the royal oldham hospital. rumon haque from royton in oldham will appear at manchester magistrates�* court tomorrow following the incident at around 11.30 in the evening on saturday, greater manchester police has said. the nurse, a woman in her 50s, is currently still receiving treatment at the same hospital. deputy superintendent matt walker said the forces priority said the force�*s priority "remains supporting her, herfamily, and her colleagues at this difficult time". video shows the protesters and spray painting 1.5 is dead over the grave

in reference to the world exceeding 1.5 degrees. they said he would be turning in his grave because of the sixth mass extinction taking place, a westminster abbey spokesperson said the grave is being cleaned and they don�*t expect any permanent damage. here in england a leading obesity expert has warned that weight loss drugs could bankrupt the national health service if they were prescribed to all the patients who are eligible for them. 3.4 million people in england are understood to qualify — but there are warnings it would cost around £10 billion a year if they were all treated at once. here�*s our medical editor fergus walsh. ray is 62 and has battled with his weight for most of his life. ray, what size is that? it might be a six... six or a seven xl. he got a shock a few years ago when about to have surgery. i was actually outside waiting to go into the theatre, and they said, "we

can�*t operate on him. "he�*s too big for this table." it�*s july 2024 at london�*s guy�*s hospital. ray is about to become one of the first patients to get the weight—loss jab wegovy on the nhs. he weighs 148 kilos — or 23 stone. in trials, patients on wegovy lost an average of 15% body weight injust over a year. right, so we're ready to go. 0k? 0k. there you go. good luck. the weeklyjab works by mimicking a gut hormone which makes you feel full. it can cause unpleasant side effects in the stomach, which some can�*t cope with. give it a bit of seasoning. patients know they have to play their part too, eating healthier, smaller portions. if ray can lose weight, it would help him and the nhs. we treat a lot of the complications

associated with obesity. if we take ray, for example, you know, he has pre—diabetes. we are hoping to go into remission. hisjoints — he might need joint surgery in the future, you know, but actually achieving weight loss can prevent a lot of the complications and ultimately save the nhs a lot of money. naveed sattar heads the uk government�*s obesity healthcare goals programme. the cost of these drugs is still at a level- where we cannot afford to treat - several million people within the uk with these drugs. it would simply bankrupt the nhs. he estimates it costs the nhs around £3,000 to give a patient weight loss jabs for a year. and so if everyone eligible got them now, that would be £10 billion a year. most are simply paying for them. ray is doing well. thank you. after five months on wegovy, he�*s lost 14 kilos — more than two stone.

look, i'm really pleased with you. it's clearly doing what it's supposed to do, which is switching off those food noises. very nice to see you both, yes. and ray, who�*s recently become a grandad, is delighted. well pleased. i can�*t believe it. my daughters, every time they see me, they say i�*m shrinking or i�*m wasting away. most patients put their lost weight back on if they come off the jabs, so these could be drugs for life for ray and others, bringing both costs and benefits to the nhs. fergus walsh, bbc news. let me take you and show you the live pictures from the white house, national security adviser talking, saying in the last few minutes saying in the last few minutes saying we are in negotiations for a

cease—fire in gaza. biden is to speak to the president of egypt, and spoke to jake sullivan that up gaza deal can get done this week before the inauguration of donald trump. we�*ll continue with that news conference and bring you more as it comes it to us. overdue and over budget, a new ferry to serve the isle of arran in the firth of clyde has finally come into service — costing hundreds of millions of pounds more than it was meant to, and delayed by some seven years. the glen sannox is the first major new ferry in a decade to join the fleet off the west of scotland. lorna gordon reports. in the early morning darkness, a new ferry to arran on its first scheduled journey with passengers on board. some here taking the trip specially to witness the long—awaited maiden voyage. it is just quite exciting to at last get a chance to be on the boat and come across here. and what i�*ve seen so far is absolutely beautiful. it�*s so fresh, like

getting a new car. hopefully there will be less cancellations, there will be more capacity for people to get on and off the island. it remains to be seen, i suppose, but fingers crossed. it has been really difficult, especially this year, - because the ferry has been off so often. - you can be on the island for two or three days with no ferry- service at all, so that can be - difficult, especially for people who need to get over to the mainland for appointments and things like that, i so hopefully this isjust going to be a bigger, . more reliable ship. the ferry is seven years overdue and hundreds of millions of pounds over budget. the saga of costly delays and technical problems cost islanders dear. it�*s been difficult for islanders, difficult for our customers. it�*s not been the easiest for calmac and its crews, but let�*s hope this is the beginning of a new activity with a new boat, a powerful boat and a more resilient boat. so i think today is about looking forward.

the new ferry is joining an ageing and ailing island fleet, with problems which are continuing to impact communities up and down the west coast. we are pretty much in crisis. absolutely everything is reliant on the ferry service. coming and going, going to school, going to work, anything you buy on amazon, every facet of your daily life is affected by whether the ferry service is working properly, and it currently isn't. horn honks. a handful of new ferries for the wider network are scheduled to join the glen sannox, but islanders, including those here on arran, say they have had to wait for too long for improvements to the service, so vital to every aspect of island life. lorna gordon, bbc news, on arran. mps are to discuss whether parents whose children have died — should be allowed access to their social media accounts. coroners can request data from social media platforms when they�*re investigating the death of a child — but parents cannot.

it�*s something ellen roome has been campaigning to change ever since her sonjools died in 2022. ellie price reports. goodbye! jools says goodbye to a friend. it�*s april 2022 and he is 14. less than two hours later, his mum ellen found him unconscious in his bedroom. an inquest into his death later found he took his own life, but the coroner said it�*s unlikely he meant to. his mum believes he died after an online challenge went wrong, but she doesn�*t have the proof. that�*s why she has been campaigning ever since to change the law to make social media platforms allow parents to access their children�*s accounts if they die. i want to know why a seemingly normal, happy child with no mental health decided one day to end his life, and i can�*t sit and just accept i don�*t know. it doesn�*t make sense,

it�*s like there�*s a will massive gap. he wasn�*t being bullied, there was nothing off—line that anybody was aware of, no teachers, no school nothing. ellen says she started her campaign when she hit what she described as a brick wall from social media companies after she asked to see her son�*s accounts. tiktok has met with ellen, the only tech company to do so, and says it was not trying to prevent her from getting answers but, because it was not contacted by police until last year, the information was no longer available. meta has previously said it was in touch directly with ellen and would co—operate fully with any law enforcement investigation, including responding to any data requests. and snapchat says it would provide parents with access to data provided it followed legal steps to verify their identification. i know you can do this, man. be strong and stay brave. ellen�*s campaign forjools�*s law will be debated in parliament later today.

she says, having lost her only son, she doesn�*t have any other children to protect, so this is for the children of others. ellie price, bbc news. they gave you some of the latest details from jake sullivan there at the white house a short while ago, he has also been saying that the parties are on the cusp of being able to close a cease—fire deal for gaza. so let�*sjoin able to close a cease—fire deal for gaza. so let�*s join that news conference and hear a little more of the questions and answers. first. the questions and answers. first, remember _ the questions and answers. first, remember that _ the questions and answers. first, remember that when _ the questions and answers. first, remember that when the - the questions and answers. f zit remember that when the ukraine were picked off, started in those early months in 2022, oil prices spiked away above $100. the price environment for us to put sanctions on russia�*s oil sector at that time would have meant a really significant hit to the american pocketbook and the american consumer. the price environment todayis consumer. the price environment today is profoundly different. you

said spiked, actually oil prices today are significantly lower than they had been over an average in the past few years. so actually, we have just a fundamentally different price environment and that is the reason for why now. because president biden was not going to impose sanctions on russia�*s oil sector if it meant an undue burden on american families. he does not believe his action places such an undue burden on them, and as you project out on 2025, on supply and demand that the oil market is very well supplied, that oil prices will stabilise in a place that does not impose undue burdens on americans consumers. when the one hand we can hit putin�*s pocketbook, on the other hand not taking too big a whack out of the american people�*s pocketbook. that was not an opportunity a year ago, and it is now an opportunity available to us. that is what he made this decision. the other point i would make is that

the new team is setting up for negotiation. and in a negotiation, you need leverage. part of that leverage has to come from the kind of economic pressure that makes putin say he�*s going to continue to pay significant price economically, and so this is also in service of an effective diplomatic outcome that will produce a just and sustainable peace for ukraine. itruiith will produce a just and sustainable peace for ukraine.— peace for ukraine. with respect... did ou peace for ukraine. with respect... did you co-ordinate _ peace for ukraine. with respect... did you co-ordinate that - peace for ukraine. with respect... did you co-ordinate that with - peace for ukraine. with respect... did you co-ordinate that with the l did you co—ordinate that with the incoming — did you co—ordinate that with the incoming team? i�*m did you co-ordinate that with the incoming team?— did you co-ordinate that with the incoming team? i'm not going to say we coordinated _ incoming team? i'm not going to say we coordinated it, _ incoming team? i'm not going to say we coordinated it, but _ incoming team? i'm not going to say we coordinated it, but we _ incoming team? i'm not going to say we coordinated it, but we informed l we coordinated it, but we informed them of what we intended to do, we were trying to maintain transparency through the transition and share with them the actions that we are taking in advance so that they are not surprised by any of them. that also goes for the ai diffusion rule. again, not coordinated and i�*m not, i don�*t want to suggest that, but we were transparent with them about the steps in that regard. we have been working on that issue before going on a year now, it is a complicated question because we are trying to strike the right balance between

ensuring the frontier of ai stays in the united states of america and our close allies while also ensuring that the rest of the world can benefit from al and get the hardware that they need to power ai applications going forward. so that balance required a huge amount of work and back and forth in many pencil and pulled meetings and conversations with the president and ultimately came together toward the end, but we have been telegraphing for some time that this was coming at the key for us was making sure we had it in place. but we also set up 120 day comment period so that we are not putting the next administration in a position where they immediately have to start moving out, they can take comments and they can make judgements at that point about what the best way for it is. we think this is in a bipartisan spirit, the way to best preserve and protect america�*s league when it comes to artificial intelligence. two questions. first... why you all

believe _ two questions. first... why you all believe that — two questions. first... why you all believe that the cease—fire deal is near, _ believe that the cease—fire deal is near. near— believe that the cease—fire deal is near, near its ending point. can you offer_ near, near its ending point. can you offer some — near, near its ending point. can you offer some additional specificity about— offer some additional specificity about what has changed? i feel that we have _ about what has changed? i feel that we have heard you all express a level_ we have heard you all express a level of— we have heard you all express a level of optimism at many points. they— level of optimism at many points. they have — level of optimism at many points. they have to go back and check the record about my level of optimism in the last few months because in fairness to your question, there has been a little bit of the lucy and the football quality where we got close and itjust didn�*t happen. but i haven�*t stood this podium and said anything particularly optimistic anything particularly opti
