In the last hour, the former head it is not exactly a smooth road, of the civil service, its like being a greased up piece lord kersla of popcorn in the back seat, ke, stressed but its a lot of fun. The importance of an investigation. Well, look, it is a serious and indeed extraordinary breach, because this is a well established process that has gone on pretty much the same way for years. Sol that has gone on pretty much the same way for years. So i think an urgent investigation is certainly needed. Of course it is likely to be human error, as has been suggested. But we need to know how well staff we re but we need to know how well staff were trained about the importance of maintaining security, were they briefed on the potential consequences if this information was released .

Good after failing to recover from a pelvic morning. Andy murray has had such injury. Bad luck with injury. And another manager sacked west ham have dismissed manuel pellegrini, just hours next month was supposed to be his grand slam after losing to leicester city. Comeback at the australian open. Good morning, its been an u nfortu nately, after comeback at the australian open. Unfortunately, after terrible hip operation he had to have and had come back from, he has another injury. Three time grand slam winner andy murray is out of next months australian open. He had only recently returned from almost two years of hip problems, and then a pelvic injury troubled him towards the end of the season. Although murray is back on court, hes decided not to travel to australia. Instead hell continue rehab and preseason training with a view to playing an indoor event in france at the start of february. David moyes has been linked with the vacant west ham job, just hours after the club sacked manager manuel pellegrini. West ham are just above the relegation zone following their defeat at home to leicester city. Pelligrinis dismissal ends a turbulent 18 months at the london stadium. Patrick gearey reports. Long before the statement was published, you could see this decision coming. You could hear it in the boos, as west ham lost their 9th match in 12. By evening, Manuel Pellegrinis departure was announced. West hams chairman said this black and white fate came courtesy of a man named gray. Commentator its demarai gray 2 1 leicester the win for leicester left west ham just one point above the bottom three. The prospect of playing second tier football in the former Olympic Stadium unthinkable for the owners. They planned so much more when they hired manuel pellegrini, who won the premier league with Manchester City in 2014. He spent big on the likes of Felipe Anderson and led the hammers to tenth on the table last season. But after a promising start, the bubble burst by late autumn. Speaking yesterday, he acknowledged the fans had reasons not to be cheerful. They deserve a better performance. We are trying to find which is the way to do it. I think that the players want to do it, but i admit the pressure and the lack of confidence and the lack of results is difficult. Its the time of year for taking stock of where you are and where youre going. As well as soul searching, west ham will be looking for a new guide. Elsewhere in the premier league, Manchester United moved up to fifth in the table with a 2 0 win at burnley. Charlie taylor was at fault for uniteds opener. He was dispossessed by andreas pereira, who fed Anthony Martial for his third goal in two games over the festive period. Marcus rashford scored with pretty much the last kick of the game, catching burnley out as they pressed for an equaliser. And watfords revival under new manager Nigel Pearson continues. They survived a sending off to beat fellow strugglers aston villa 3 0. The win leaves them three points away from escaping the relegation zone. At the bottom of the table, brighton beat bournemouth 2 0, but it was a hugely emotional reaction from Alireza Jahanbakhsh after scoring his first goalfor the club. The iranian striker was moved to tears after shooting from 16 yards out. It was his 27th appearance for brighton. Elsewhere everton beat newcastle 2 1, norwich and tottenham drew 2 2. Englands cricketers will resume their pursuit of the 376 runs they need to win the first test against south africa. If they do it, theyll make history it would be their highest successful run chase in test matches. The good news isjoe root and jos buttler are feeling better after sickness in the camp. Yesterday, englands bowlers struggled for control and allowed south africa to recover to 272 all out. Sam curran took the final wicket. South africa eventually all out for 272. Englands squad has been troubled by a sickness bug, but opener rory burns led the response. Hes unbeaten on 77. Theyll restart on 121 for one, in centurion. It gets back under way at eight oclock. Northampton saints are back on top of the premiership after coming through a seven try thriller against gloucester. Cobus reinach scored the try of the match with this fantastic solo effort running from well beyond the halfway line to cross over here. The result moves northampton to the top of the table for now, with exeter chiefs still to play this weekend. And that is your sport. Lovely stuff. Thank you, jane. Its been more than two years since big bens famous bongs were paused to allow for essential Maintenance Work to be carried out. But new years eve just wouldnt feel right without those iconic chimes, would it . Thankfully, parliament has made sure that big ben can still sound for important events. So, for one night only, the bongs will return to bring in the new decade. Tim muffett has been to find out more. Its one of the worlds most familiar and regularly misnamed buildings. But for two years, the elizabeth tower, which houses the giant bell, big ben, has been surrounded by scaffolding. Repairs that have left big ben itself largely silent. Here it is, big ben. Here it is, big ben, yes, indeed, all 13 tons of it. Its been quiet largely for the last few years. Feels a bit odd . It does feel very odd. Its been way too quiet for my liking. This is, what, the biggest refurbishment project thats ever taken place since it was first built. So, the clock mechanics are taking apart every single small piece and then putting it all back together, which hasnt been done before. So, a massive challenge for them. Its that clock mechanism which, for more than 150 years, activated the hammer that strikes big ben. So, for special occasions during the repairs, such as remembrance sunday and new years eve, a new device has been needed. What weve got here is a tolling Automatic Electric tolling motor, which obviously wouldnt have been available when this was first built. This produces the power needed to then lift the big ben hammer, which is, as i say, very heavy, 300, 400 kilograms, and strike it 12 times. Last new years eve, all went to plan. Big ben bongs. Are you nervous in the run up to midnight . I think theres always got to be a bit of nerves because it shows, one, that you care, and also, that its obviously a really, really big moment. Cheering. The new speaker of the house of commons, lindsay hooyle, has said he wont stand in the way if mps vote for big ben to also be struck on january the 31st, the day the uks set to leave the eu. During a tumultuous time in british politics, hidden from view, this 4 year refurbishment has continued. All of the stone that we put onto the tower is hard carved, which is a phenomenal thing to say, brilliant, and it may take them between three and four weeks to produce a carving such as this crown that you can see along here. So, a real labour of love. So, this is the eastern clock face, high up the elizabeth tower, and the most striking thing is the colours. Its not the black paint were familiar with, but gold and blue. So, we found that as we scratched back through the layers, we were scratching, basically going back through time, and found that this was the colour that it was originally. So, its really exciting to find that blue colour as we went back through the layers. And its prussian blue. Prussian blue, yeah. This is gold leaf. And weve reglazed the whole of the clock face with hand blow opal glass. Even standing here, on a rainy day, surrounded by scaffolding, you see that thats one of the faces of elizabeth tower. Big ben. Yes. Its so iconic. To actually be able to stand here and i wont touch the gold, but i will touch in between its not many people can do that. In 2021, the scaffolding will disappear and the worlds most famous bell will again be heard not just on special occasions, but every hour, every day. Tim muffett, bbc news. A warm welcome back, big bend. Were here on the bbc news channel until 9 00. But this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. Thanks for staying with us. As we head towards the end of the new year, it is time to reflect on what we have done over the past 12 months, and for mike bushell but is an awful lot. I bet you havent done as much as him. Probably not i dont think anybody could have. In addition to strutting his stuff on the strictly dance floor, he has been inspiring us to take up new sports. We have had dive chess, horse vaulting, even quidditch. Hes tried it all. Music plays. 0h it is my happy place. I like doing the fire jumps. It is a tight turn. Have we got it . 0h commentator the biggest cheer for mike bushell as he crosses the line and away we go. Ive lost a wheel i feel about five years old again. When the ball comes through you try to catch your two hands and then run. Quidditch is unique, it is the worlds only full contact and mixed gender sport. Mike bushell can get those times than anyone can. Music plays. Applause. For the rest of the morning we will be struggling to un see mikes quidditch attempt. What a moment. Be struggling to un see mikes quidditch attempt. What a momentlj quite fancy that dog sledding. That looks fun. And also at night. That would be fun. There is 00 15 29,1000 00 15 30,414 the adrenaline, but it is not. Yes, i dont imagine it is that physical. I was thinking about kicking the football, doing dollies from a garden swing. That sounds like want to try. Quite an one to try. Lets checkin to try. Quite an one to try. Lets check in with susan and see what the weather has in store. I think ithinki i think i burnt off half my christmas lunch just watching that. If you are planning on heading out today, perhaps to take some exercise, chances are things will be brighterfor you exercise, chances are things will be brighter for you today than yesterday and the other thing is that it yesterday and the other thing is thatitis yesterday and the other thing is that it is really mild. Particularly across scotland and Northern Ireland. There is this amber ribbon here as we fly towards the uk. Coming all the way from the tropics, some of that there, feeding in from the atlantic. Hence it has been especially barmy for Northern Ireland and scotland overnight with those around 12 13. Some ran around to the north west of scotland again today, for the northern and Western Isles and the highlands. To the south of that, some bright disguise, i think. We will pull in a bit of dry airfrom the i think. We will pull in a bit of dry air from the continent for the south east of england and east anglia. That should break up our cloud here as well. Hopefully some sunshine across Northern England are some of the early drizzle clears. Overall, a brighter day in prospect, with sunshine to the north of Northern Ireland and around the moray firth. A south westerly wind direction, quite notable for scotla nd direction, quite notable for scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures could get up to 15 or 16, unseasonably mild. This evening and overnight, largely mild but not as mild as the nightjust gone. Some clear skies towards the south east. Our temperatures could slide down into single figures, perhaps as low as two degrees in norwich. Still mild across the northern half of the uk because that weather front is still looming here. Through monday, very slowly, it will start to work its way south. To the north, some slightly chillier hour. Not especially cold but taking us back to more average temperatures for this time of year. To the north west of scotland, again, a wet start on monday. A greyer day to the north east as that front slides in, especially in the afternoon. The rain approaching the central belt by the end of the afternoon, perhaps brushing the north of Northern Ireland. Sunny spells and some cloud towards the north of Northern Ireland. That front to the south of the uk by tuesday moves us into smoother hourfor this the uk by tuesday moves us into smoother hour for this time of year. It will be a fresher field, we will lose the cloud that has been tied in with the mild hour. Temperatures at the higher end of single figures quite widely and a bit more cloud in the south west. Here we have got more moisture in the air. It could be quite foggy quite quickly on new years eve. Also, there is that tendency, i think, for the disability to become an increasing issue as we go through new years eve and into new years day. If you have plans to head out for some revelry, at the moment it looks largely dry. Still relatively mild, so not bad prospects as we had towards the new year, but the fog could be dangerous or disruptive if you are planning on travelling, so have that in the back of your mind. A nice, bright start to the week before the fog descends. Well, here is the travel show. This week on the travel show, im in the jungles of borneo exploring malaysias biggest state sarawak. In the western corner of malaysian borneo, sarawak has some of the most spectacular and diverse ecosystems. But it can be overlooked by tourists drawn to the bright lights of kl and the resorts of its neighbour state sabah. So im going to discover for myself the sights and inhabitants of this remarkable state. Along the way i will be hanging out with these guys. Climbing jagged peaks. Easily one of the most beautiful and one of the most difficult hikes i have done. And getting a taste of one of the worlds most remote food festivals. Sucking. Laughs. Yes, kuching is mean cat, in english, called cat. Like the city of cats . Yes, cat city. Were starting here in the state capital, kuching, and were travelling all the way up here to the kelabit highlands. Its going to be a journey. On my first stop, im going to meet one of the states most iconic residents. And here he is. The orangutan. So much soul in their eyes. 97 of their dna is shared with humans. That where they get the name orangutan means man of the forest. Orangutans are native to only two islands in south east asia. Some live on sumatra, but the vast majority live here in borneo. I have come to the semenggoh nature reserve where the rangers are preparing for the morning feed. It looks like they eat quite well because there is a whole buffet here, and it seems like every day there is a different meal plan. So today is saturday, so they will have 21 kg bananas, and then sweet potatoes, chicken eggs and pineapples. Oh, its heavy. Maybe 15 kilos. Ooh, 0k. So, where are we at . Almost 20. We are ready, 21kg. While these orangutans are used to people, they re still unpredictable, so tourists are kept at a safe distance. Edwin is 23 years old, born in 1996, and he was the first male offspring born in semenggoh. Now fully grown, edwin is competing to become the reserves sole dominant male. Sadly, despite conservation efforts, orangutans face an uncertain future. Over a 16 year period, the numbers in borneo fell by more than 100,000. A decline blamed on hunting and deforestation. It is now estimated that there are just over 100,000 orangutans left on the island. And so the facility here, how does it help . By having a centre like semenggoh, people get a sense of seeing the wild orangutan, and not disturb the orangutan in their natural habitat. And i guess the more people come here, the more they learn, and that also helps as well . Definitely, the feeling, the excitement of seeing wild orangutan, bring you closer to conservation efforts, and to be able to share it with people out there, it really means something. Next up i am crossing the state to reach Gunung Mulu National park, sarawa ks largest piece of protected rainforest. This place is teeming with wildlife over 4,000 species of plants, 20,000 species of invertebrates, that means thousands of different kinds of spiders, beetles and butterflies, but no orangutans, though, not here. Mulu is also home to groups of penan, one of the last remaining hunter and gatherer tribes in southeast asia. A lot of their traditional tribal land has been lost to deforestation, so the vast majority now stay in settlements like this one. Plucks instrument laughs can you show me . Ah, i see, so you drill it by hand, so many times. That would be countless hours. Oh, yes, there we go. Mike corey, blowpipe maker. Blowpipes are the penans traditional hunting weapon. They are loaded with darts, tipped with strong poison extracted from the bark of the local tajem tree. And youd use one of these big ones . Wow, its, look, im about six feet tall, that would be 1. 8 metres. Ok, so were here like this. And that one goes in the back. Armed and dangerous. You first. Safety off. Sharp shooter laughs i guarantee i will not. Like this . Like this. And then. 0k. He we go. Hopefully theres some beginners luck. I hit the target . further inside the park there is a truly unique landscape. Below ground there are some of the Worlds Largest caves, formed from limestone and shaped by millions of years of ground and rainwater. This process also created a bizarre collection of stone spires above the ground. Theyre called the pinnacles, and i have come all the way up river to base camp 5 to see them. At almost 50 metres tall, the pinnacles are an imposing spectacle. But to get there, sightseers face a three day round trip and a long, brutal trek through the rainforest. So the guides have some rules in place to make sure tourists are up to it. Caution, a high degree of physical fitness is required past this point. Eight hours round trip. Lead the way. Lets go. I havejust 60 minutes to make it to the mini pinnacles, the first checkpoint. You werentjoking. How is it . Steep. The checkpoint is less than a kilometre up the slope but the humidity makes it feel a lot further. Weve only just started and im already exhausted. And were here, the pinnacles not quite, right . Mini pinnacles. That is. Not a joke. Having reached the checkpoint within the time limit, its another kilometre before i reach the most treacherous stage. This is the first ladder, mike. Helmets on, right . Whos first . After you. 00 27 57,485 2147483051 50 43,458 after 2147483051 50 43,458 4294966103 13 29,430 me
