Front pages, including the mail, which claims people are wasting their time recycling christmas waste, which will likely end up in landfill. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. President elect donald trump has gone head to head with the outgoing Us Government over its treatment of israel. Mr trump tweeted that israel was being treated with Total Disdain and disrespect. And the israeli Prime Minister has reacted with anger to a speech by the us secretary of Statejohn Kerry warning that settlement building by israelis in the west bank threatens hopes for peace. Our middle east correspondent Yolande Knell Reports from jerusalem. Tonight, another angry intervention by President Elect donald trump, this time over middle east peace. He came to the us was treating israel with Total Disdain and disrespect. He told it to stay strong until the 20th Of January when he takes office. The speech by us secretary of Statejohn Kerry brought on the row. He criticised israel, accusing its government of undermining their chances of a Peace Agreement with the palestinians. We have to be clear about what is happening in the west bank. The israeli Prime Minister publicly supports a Two State Solution, but his Current Coalition is the most right wing in israeli history with an agenda driven by the most extreme elements. This was after last weeks Un Security Council resolution calling for israel to stop building jewish homes on occupied palestinian land. The us didnt use its veto power to protect israel as it usually does. And here in israel they are worried that in the very last days of the Obama Administration it could take another diplomatic stand laying out the framework for a peace deal at an international conference. The palestinians might welcome that but israeli leaders would see it as another attempt to tie the hands of donald trump who is promising them strong support. The israeli Prime Minister hit back at mr kerry for his stance on settlements. What he did was spend most of his speech blaming israel for the lack of peace by passionately condemning a policy of enabling dues to live in their historic homeland and in their eternal capitaljerusalem. The Obama Administration oversaw two rounds of peace talks between israel and the palestinians. Both breakdown acrimoniously. Now they are trying to use theirfinal acrimoniously. Now they are trying to use their final three weeks in office to set a new path but it could be too little too late. Our correspondent laura bicker says mr kerry wanted to make clear his views on the Peace Process before he leaves office next month. We do understand that this is a speech Thatjohn Kerry had wanted to make for some time, but the white house had held it back. They were worried about Prime Minister netanyahus response, which we have seen, they may have been right to have been worried. They felt it may have poisoned any Peace Process. Whatjohn kerry has done done today is to lay down a road map of what he would have liked to have seen happen, this kind of Two State Solution which he has been pushing for, but for which he said the conditions on the ground were not right at this moment. So what we have is a road map by an outgoing us secretary of state, which he will have no time to implement, and witticism coming from israel against an administration which is no longer one they will have to deal with. What they will have to look forward to is donald trump. And already, mr trump is saying, i will be your friend, israel. He has condemned americas policies towards israel in tweets. He said that they have shown Total Disdain for israel within the last few weeks, and he said, stay strong, israel, i will be taking power on the 20th Of January. Britains most decorated olympian and Tour De France winner sir Bradley Wiggins has announced his retirement from cycling. In a Statement Today he said he had been lucky enough to live a dream and make a career out of a sport he fell in love with when he was 12. It ends a stunning run of success, which also brought him World Championships and many other honours. But it follows questions about medical treatments he received in training. This report from our sports news correspondent richard conway. On the road and on the track, sir Bradley Wiggins dominated his sport like few others. Gold medallist and olympic champion, Bradley Wiggins hes the uks most decorated olympian, winning eight medals over 16 years. In 2012, he became the first briton to claim the Tour De France title, achievements which took him on a path to the palace. But after so much success over the years, sir Bradley Wiggins remarkable career has finally rolled to a halt, saying he has fulfilled all his childhood dreams and aspirations. Wiggins kindled his love of cycling at his local club in south london. At the age of 12, he knew what he wanted to achieve, telling his teachers that one day he would be olympic champion. He delivered on that promise, winning his first gold at the 2004 athens games. All at a time when British Cycling success was far from the norm. His personality helped him to transcend and popularise the sport with cycling officials praising him and encouraging the public to get on their bikes. His retirement comes at a time of heightened scrutiny into his career, though. Earlier this year Russian Hackers revealed wiggins had been given powerful Steroid Injections before three key races, including his 2012 Tour De France win. This substance involved is banned under normal circumstances, as it can be performance enhancing, but wiggins legally and legitimately applied for a medical exemption he says to treat hayfever. This was about trying to find a way to gain an unfair advantage, putting ourselves on a level Playing Field in order to compete at the highest level. One of britains brightest sporting careers is now at an end but it was one that was coloured throughout by gold and yellow. A woman has died after up to 20 vehicles were involved in a massive pile up on the aao near witney in oxfordshire. The crashes stretched for more than half a mile and happened in thick fog this morning. Sangita myska sent this report from the scene. Photographs taken minutes after this mornings crash show in chilling photographs taken minutes after this mornings crash show in chilling detail the mangled wreckage of at least 20 vehicles. Eyewitnesses described seeing Cars Skidding across the road through thick fog, smashing into one another, Spilling Debris across two lanes of the a40. I was justjoining the a40, thats when i saw the brake lights and the hazard lights, so i came to a stop and then i got out of the vehicle and saw the carnage ahead and the carnage behind. The emotions were very high, people were obviously scared. It was a bit like a movie scene, really. A lot of havoc, people injured, a lot of destruction. This afternoon, recovery vehicles continue to clear wreckage in an attempt to reopen a road that links london to wales. Its now several hours since the accident happened this morning and there are still about a dozen vehicles yet to be cleared from this part of the a40. There is still a thick fog over this area of road. Visibility now is probably about 200 metres. But Police Officers here tell me that this morning, when the crashes happened, drivers could see no further than about 15 metres ahead, and that there was black ice on this road. One woman in her 50s died at this scene of the crash. Two other people remain in a serious condition in hospital. As families continue to Crisscross Britain this holiday, the police are urging travellers to check Weather Conditions and drive with caution. A 33 year old man has been charged with the murder of his Baby Daughter who died on christmas day. Lee parkerfrom kingswood near bristol was charged after the death of six month old aya in the early hours of sunday morning. He will appear before magistrates tomorrow.

Ten year old nai Yesha Murrain and her 11 year old sister Ashanti Marshall were last seen yesterday evening in aston, in birmingham. Police were called three hours later when Family Members found that the siblings had gone. A search has been called off for the night for the final crew member missing at sea after a fishing boat capsized off the kent coast. One person has died and another was found clinging to the upturned hull early this morning and was airlifted to hospital. Our correspondent simon jones has more. Capsized, it ca psized, it is capsized, it is believed the fishing boat from belgium overturned at 11 oclock last night but it wasnt until first oclock last night but it wasnt untilfirst light, oclock last night but it wasnt until first light, some eight oclock last night but it wasnt untilfirst light, some eight hours later, that one of the crew members was spotted by another Boat Clinging to the hull. Lucky to be alive . Absolutely, yeah. I mean, at this time of year, in the southern north sea, Water Temperature at 9. 5 degrees, the temperature less than that, so, yeah, significant risk, but he is in the carer of the hospital at present. He was able to tell his rescuers that two of his fellow crew members were missing, prompting a major response. Two lifeboats from ramsgate have been taking part in the search, which has also involved two divers and a doctor being flown in from belgium. The huge Operation Taking place around 17 miles off the coast from here. After several hours, a second crew member was found showing signs of life, but later died in hospital. The search for the third man has now been called for the day. Although the coastguard says it is possible for people to survive in the water at this time of year for 15 hope is 110w at this time of year for 15 hope is now fading. More than 80 of people in england, aged between 40 and 60 are either overweight, inactive, or drink too much. Thats according to Public Health england, which says their lifestyles are greatly increasing their risk of diseases such as diabetes. Our Health Correspondent Sophie Hutchinson has more. This is lee parkers Trim New Look since exercising and changing his diet. Just a few months ago, he weighed 22 stone. Now, he can fit into one of his old trouser legs. The wake up call came when his seven year old son told him that he loved him, even though he was fat. It was a case ofjust, shall we order a pizza tonight . We had food in, but couldnt be bothered cooking it. You just become a bit lazy and drawn out with the daily grind of routine. Figures show worrying trends. Almost 80 of women aged 40 to 60 are either overweight, obese, physically inactive or drinking more than official guidelines. And almost 90 of men fall into the same category. Amongst the health risks is diabetes, its doubled in this age group in the past 20 years, and treatment costs the nhs in england an estimated £14 billion a year. The reason why were seeing these increases in chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke and Heart Disease is in a large part because of behaviours adopted during the 40 to 60 age period, so, for example, still smoking, not taking enough physical activity or drinking too much alcohol. And Public Health england is offering some help. This is the Online Health quiz that Government Officials want 40 to 60 year olds to take part in. It is called how are you and it is on the one you website and asks questions about whether you are a man or woman and why you might want to become more healthy. It looks pretty straightforward, but the question is, will it help to tackle the Health Crisis for middle aged people . Its extremely hard, i have actually no willpower whatsoever, our life is too good and we have too much choice. I lead a very unhealthy lifestyle. Fatty food, smoking, drinking, no exercise. Theres too much temptation, its too easy to go to the supermarket and buy a ready meal and put it in the microwave. And you dont have to do a thing how hard is it to be healthy . Its not that difficult to be healthy if you put your mind to it. The government is hoping to nudge people into following the example of lee, with a tax on sugary drinks expected to help when it comes in in 2018, but many Health Professionals and campaigners are concerned that measures still dont go far enough. The headlines on bbc news the Palestinian President says he is ready to resume Peace Efforts with israel if it stops settlement construction, after the us secretary of state, john kerry, warned a Two State Solution was in jeopardy.

And finally, the sun warns of a crisis in the nhs, with Waiting Times of a month to see the doctor. Nhs hospitals have made more money than ever from Parking Charges and fines. Figures from 89 Health Trusts across england suggest £120 million was raised from parking fees last year. That is up 5 on the year before. There has been sharp criticism of the charges from patient groups, as Daniel Boettcher reports. At this north London Hospital today, despite the fog, the Parking Signs were clear. A charge of £3 an hour for patients and visitors, and that helped the trust to which it belongs bring in more than £2. 3 million last year. The hospital does offer concessionary rates. For example, for blue badge holders and chemo or radiotherapy patients. And it says all the money is invested in the trust and used for the benefit of patients. Still, some felt it was unreasonable. I have a long term condition, and i go into hospital quite frequently. And my husband has to pay and my family have to pay to come to see me in hospital. Were visiting sick people, or youre taking sick people to the hospital. And they are just taking the mickey out of you. If you come in as a patient, you should not be charged parking. Its ridiculous. There has been pressure on hospitals in england to reduce Parking Charges, but figures obtained by The Press Association Under Freedom Of Information requests show that, overall, the levels have never been higher. More than half of the trusts that responded made at least £1 million a year from car parking fees. In many cases, the figures were much higher, and they have been rising. 89 out of 120 trusts provided responses. Of those, the heart of england Nhs Foundation trust had the highest parking income, at more than £4. 8 million. Overall, nhs trusts in england made in excess of £120 million. That is an increase of 5 on the previous year, and, say those pressing for reform, an unacceptable burden for vulnerable patients. We understand that hospitals are under enormous financial pressures. Most trusts are in deficit. But the answer isnt to raise revenue by charging patients, and particularly not patients who are travelling regularly, for life saving cancer treatment. That feels like its a tax on illness, rather than a way of maintaining a car park. Campaigners say england should follow the lead of scotland and wales, where charges have been abolished in all but a handful of cases. Many trusts argue that some or all of the money raised goes back into patient care, while the Department Of Health says it expects all nhs organisations to follow its guidelines and put concessions in place for those who most the need help. There are fresh warnings tonight about millions of people in nigeria facing severe food shortages. The Charity Christian aid estimates that four Million People are in desperate need of food, and the un is warning that more than 100,000 people, most of them children, could die of starvation unless they receive help. The scale of the crisis is emerging as the Nigerian Military pushes into areas previously held by the islamist militants boko haram. Our nigeria correspondent Martin Patience sent this report from borno state. It contains images you may find distressing. Until now, they were out of reach. The hidden victims of boko haram. But every day, more families emerge from the bush, fleeing the islamist militants. 200 people arrived at this camp in the past few days. They carried what little they could. Translation boko haram whipped us like prisoners. They slaughtered some of us. Our sons were forced to join them. They stole our cattle, they stole our food. Life was terrible. When you get the chance to escape, you take it. Uprooted from their farms, people cant feed themselves. The un is warning of mass starvation. Aid relief is now getting through to some of the worst affected areas, but the challenge is that as the army pushes in to boko haram controlled territory, it frees more people. And what that means is that the already enormous humanitarian needs keep on growing. Halimas two year old son uzman is suffering from severe malnutrition. It was better in the village, she says. At least there was food. Uzman is taken to a clinic for treatment. But he is farfrom being the worst case here. Hawa is eight months old. Her tiny body weighs just a third of what it should at this stage. There are those days that you just sit down and you just have to sit back and just look at what is happening. Yeah, it can get overwhelming sometimes. Weve had two cases that died on the way here. You know, its really tough when you see those kind of things. We flew over large parts of this state. Every town we saw, destroyed by the fighting. Here, the Nigerian Army is burning shrub to stop militants taking cover. Until people can return home, they will need to rely on aid. But a third of the houses in borno state are destroyed. And without more assistance, the governor has this warning for the west. If nigeria is to implode, its going to be a very frightening prospect. Up north is the sahara desert. If 30 million English Speaking africans will be knocking on the doors of europe, it will be a much more frightening prospect. Even the 2 3 million syrians have unsettled europe. Something as simple as collecting water here can mean risking your life. Even in government controlled areas. Years of fighting have shattered this society. And the war against boko haram is still not won. Martin patience, bbc news, North Eastern nigeria. To bring you some good news from West Midlands police, they were appealing for help to find some young sisters who had gone missing from their home in the aston area of birmingham. They have been found safe and well, according to West Midlands police. This was a ten year old and her 11 year old sister, who had gone missing. They we re sister, who had gone missing. They were now found safe and well, according to West Midlands police. The american Actress Debbie Reynolds has been taken to hospital after suffering a suspected stroke, according to us media reports. The 84 year old was said to be making arrangements for the funeral of her daughter Carrie Fisher, whose death was announced yesterday. Harrison ford has led tributes to Carrie Fisher, calling her one of a kind. The actress, best known for her role as Princess Leia in star wars, had been in hospital since suffering a Cardiac Arrest on a flight from london to los angeles last friday. Our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at her life. Clever and confident. What the hell are you doing . somebody has to save our skins . Occasionally caustic. Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way . Carrie fishers leia wasnt your typical princess, waiting to be rescued. For luck. What appealed to me was that george lucas, who wrote it and directed it, didnt want a damsel in distress, didnt want your stereotypical princess, you know. The galactic princess grew up hollywood royalty, the daughter of 50s Movie Legend debbie reynolds. Throughout her acting career, she battled Drug Addiction and mental illness. Writing about it was a form of therapy for her. People used to ask me, you know, right after i got sober, initially theyd say, so, are you happy now . And i would say, among other things. Happy is one of the many things, the many emotions ill go through in a day. I love you. An instantly recognisable face after star wars, from time to time there were appearances in other films, like when harry met sally. Her mother has led tributes, saying. Her star wars co star mark hamill tweeted. Harrison ford said in a statement. Star wars creator george lucas said. On initially meeting carrie, i didnt see Carrie Fisher the actress. I saw Princess Leia stood before me. And thats really who she was for a large part of the filming for me, i was a huge star wars fan. Asi as i got to know her more and more, icame to as i got to know her more and more, i came to understand what kind and fun person she was to be around. In 2015, she reprised to her role as Princess Leia in star wars the force awakens, and thats how millions will remember her. Now the weather, with tomasz schafernaker. Thank you. The Weather Conditions out there at the moment are not great, it has to be said. We have got thick fog around, the temperatures are falling as well, to below freezing. So that means pretty Hazardous Conditions on the roads. Really, honestly, take it steady. We have been reporting on the newsjust how dangerous the foggy conditions have been in the last 24 hours or so. Have been in the last 24 hours or so. We are going to get that again, the fog that is, through the course of the night. Mostly across england, Eastern Parts of wales, westernmost extremities of the uk perhaps not getting as much fog. The western tip of cornwall early in the morning, in the western wales, i think generally fog free but the i is also going fog free but the fog is also going to be very patchy. You might be going down that fast route, the country lane, one minute you are in the fog and then you are at it again and you might be back in it again. Remember, it is freezing fog in some areas so remember, it is freezing fog in some areas so it could be very slippery on those roads. Northern ireland and scotland, no fog problems. There is a breeze and some rain around as well. The forecast for the afternoon, many northern and North Western areas should have a little bit of brightness. A breeze around the western isles, temperatures getting up to around 11 degrees or so. As far as england is concerned, really chilly. You can see these values, four, five, six, seven, those sorts of numbers. Lets zoom into this area, where the fog could linger in the afternoon. At this time of year, where the fog forms and sticks around, the temperatures will struggle. 0 degrees, so really nippy in some areas. This is the following night, thursday night into friday. Still some fog forming i think across east anglia. This area of fog is going to be shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. Most of the country not much of a breeze. Cloud coming in the atlantic, just as a result that little bit less cold. Nearly double figures, not quite everywhere. Their new years eve we have rain for scotla nd new years eve we have rain for scotland and just about nudging into northern ireland. So it looks as though it should bejust northern ireland. So it looks as though it should be just about dry across the bulk of england, i think, as we going to midnight. And then new years eve, the first of january 2017, it looks like we are going to get a cold blast coming in from the north. So looking pretty chilly as we go into the new year. Thats it from me.
