Mean for the uks towns. He isa he is a world cup winner and simply one of the best players in the world but for Kylian Mbappe, theres only one premier league team to watch at the moment, good morning. Quite a bit of around today but there will be sunshine as well when we lose the frost and fog from the south, that cloud will be thick enough for drizzle and spots of rain, particularly in the north and west. Ill have more later in the programme. Its tuesday the 21st of january. Our top story prince harry has touched down in canada in the last few hours to rejoin his wife and son. The duke of sussex flew from the uk last night after announcing he had no choice but to step back from royal life. Lets speak to our north american correspondent, sophie long, whos on Vancouver Island. Thank you very much, sophie, go to talk to you this morning. I suppose this is the start of the new life . Yes, dan, i think this is the thursday of the rest of their lives. We understand prince harry has landed at Vancouver International airport, a short hop from where we are now on Vancouver Island, only about a 30 minute flight, so we assume he is on his way here. This is where can has been staying over the past week or so while the negotiations have been going on over the last week or so. Weve been watching planes go over but weve had no confirmation he has landed on Vancouver Island. Hard to imagine the intensity and the mixture of emotions he has been feeling as he made hisjourney emotions he has been feeling as he made his journey across the atlantic. He was candid about how sad he felt that it had come to this andi sad he felt that it had come to this and i think the royal couple have taken a larger step back from royal duties than they hoped when they made their surprise announcement nearly two weeks ago. It was with a heavy heart that he came here but also one full of hope, because they will now begin to start that more peaceful life they have both said they will hope for. New Anti Terrorism measures including increased minimum sentences and an end to automatic Early Release have been confirmed by the government. The announcement comes in the wake of the fishmongers hall attack in november, in which usman khan killed two people while out of prison on licence. Heres our home Affairs Correspondent, daniel sandford. The fishmongers hall attacker usman khan had come out of prison one year before the attack. He had been serving 16 years for preparing terrorist acts, but had been released automatically halfway through that sentence. Visiting the metropolitan polices Specialist Training facility, the home secretary priti patel has announced a further increase infunding for counterterrorism policing of £90 million, but she also promised that by mid march, there will be a new bill before parliament, ending the automatic Early Release of terrorist prisoners and raising the minimum sentence available to judges. We will ensure that we increase sentences to 14 years for the offenders who are involved in planning terrorist offences but also involved in training for terrorist offences as well, and with that we are absolutely clear that we are going to be reviewing licensing conditions so that people do not have Early Release. Ministers say theyll introduce lie detector tests for people recently released and prison for terrorist offences, and theyll double the number of probation officers specialising in counterterrorism. Therell also be more psychologists and imams involved in deradicalising prisoners. 0nce somebody has been radicalised, no one is saying that theres a 100 guarantee that someone can be deradicalised, but if there is a chance, we ought to be funding that and committing to it. Counterterrorism police say their work has gone up by a third in three years, and insist the best way to turn the tide is to divert people away from extremism in the first place. Daniel sandford, bbc news. China has confirmed that the new respiratory virus spreading across the country can be transmitted from person to person. Four people have died so far from the coronavirus, with 200 infected. Stephen mcdonnell is in beijing. Millions of Chinese People are on the move, going home for the Lunar New Year celebrations. Here at beijing station, the capitals old est beijing station, the capitals oldest Long Distance train station, you can see how many people are moving around and the news this virus, the coronavirus, canjump from person to person means screening at places like this is much more important. Australia is the latest country to join others in watching when people come in off lights and testing them, especially when they are coming from wuhan. Theres a case of somebody who has returned from wuhan in brisbane who has been placed in isolation. Theyre not sure yet if he has the coronavirus, but scientists here have joined those in the uk saying that although there are hundreds of people who have been infected, they think the realfigure people who have been infected, they think the real figure could people who have been infected, they think the realfigure could be thousands, and thats because look how many people are travelling around china at the moment. The virus has not only spread to other chinese cities but to other countries, and thats why the authorities are not taking any chances and theyve put all these extra screening chances and theyve put all these extra screening measures chances and theyve put all these extra screening measures in place. Us Service Personnel and theirfamilies will be given uk Driver Training when they arrive at the raf base near to where the teenage motorcyclist harry dunn was killed last year. Harry was struck by a car driven by the wife of a us diplomat, who was apparently on the wrong side of the road. The announcement follows the emergence of dash cam footage showing a different car, also with Us Diplomatic plates, driving on the wrong side. We will two. Speak to. Harrys mum, charlotte, just after 8am this morning. Donald trumps impeachment trial begins in the United States senate today, with democrats and republicans set to disagree sharply on the rules. The president is charged with abusing his powers by asking ukraine to investigate his political rivaljoe biden. Heres our washington correspondent, gary 0donoghue. Will all senators now stand or remain standing . Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of donald john trump. Yes, these are 100 members of the United States senate, but for the next few weeks, they will also be jurors and judges. They get to fix the rules of the trial and decide on guilt. Well, well be sitting there in our chairs. Probably in the order of six hours a day, starting at 1pm eastern time and then six days a week. This is going to be a kind of gruelling exercise but also one that will be public. There are almost no rules for a trial like this and democrats and republicans are completely at odds over where whether to call witnesses at all. That means this trial could last anything from 2 six weeks. In the coming days, Senate Republicans are going to face a choice. Will they take their cues from the white house, as leader mcconnell clearly stated, and engage Ina Mcconnell clearly stated, and engage in a cover up for President Donald Trump . 0rwill in a cover up for President Donald Trump . Or will they in a cover up for President Donald Trump . 0rwill they in in a cover up for President Donald Trump . Or will they in this most sacred of undertakings prescribed by the constitution vote for a fair trial, with witnesses . It will take a two thirds majority in the senate to convicted the president and remove him from office. That is extremely unlikely. Nevertheless, these coming weeks will resonate for years to come. Gary 0donoghue, bbc news, washington. A recorded message has emerged of the footballer Emiliano Sala saying he felt forced out by his french club days before he died in a plane crash on his way to the uk. The argentinian striker who was on his way to join cardiff city was killed a year ago today alongside pilot David Ibbotson after their plane went missing over the channel islands. This report from kayley thomas. He signed for cardiff city but he never got to kick a ball in the premier league. The plane bringing Emiliano Sala from france to his new home crashed into the channel en route. Its mangled wreckage was found on the seabed a fortnight after the crash and the players body was recovered and found to have fatal levels of carbon monoxide. The body of pilot David Ibbotson, from north lincolnshire, has never been found. 0n the 14th of january last year Emiliano Sala was given a tour of the cardiff city stadium and the promise of a future in one of the worlds most lucrative leagues, but a day after in a whatsapp voice message to a friend he said he was being forced out of fc nantes. And he came here, to his local church just outside nantes where the priest says he could tell he was conflicted. He prayed very intensely in fact. I felt as if he was having other people decide for him. His mother said the past year has been terrible and she feels practically dead having to live without her eldest son. Fc nantes said it didnt want to comment on the message. It is still locked in a betis dispute with cardiff over the players transfer fee, which will 110w players transfer fee, which will now be decided by the court of arbitration for sport in switzerland in the spring. Next month we will learn more about what caused the plane to crash as air accident investigators are preparing their final report. Kayley thomas, bbc news, cardiff. A momentous new agreement between the us and the uk has meant the titanic will be protected. After 35 yea rs titanic will be protected. After 35 years since it was discovered a deal to block exploration of the remains will means some sections of the sunken hull cant be investigated. It has been under the water for more than a century. Not good news about the tennis, sally . It is really tricky, we have metjoe konta a couple of times on here and sometimes she can blow you away with her brilliance and sometimes she doesnt get there and this morning. 0vernight sometimes she doesnt get there and this morning. Overnight at the Australian Open, it wasnt her day, morning, night. Disappointing few hours for british players at the Australian Open in melbourne, Johanna Konta has gone out in the opening round of the tournament for the very first time. She is the british number one but she lost in straight sets to tunisian player jabeur. Kyle edmund is out, he reached the semifinals in melbourne two years ago but he was beaten in straight sets by 24th seed lajovic from serbia. The french world cup winner Kylian Mbappe says now is not the right time for a move away from paris saint germain, but he could reassess things in the summer and hes a big fan of the premier league. I should point out before we start a rumour, he isnt saying he wants to move to liverpool, he says he likes watching liverpool and they are playing like a machine at the moment. Lets not start that rumour right here stop it it is amazing how they start heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning, everyone. Today is going to be cloudier than yesterday and as we head through the rest of the week, it will be mostly cloudy, particularly as we head through wednesday and thursday with a lot of low cloud but it will be largely dry. This morning we are starting off with a real range in the temperatures. In the north we are looking at overnight lows of about 11 but in the south, some have had overnight lows of 5. A good 16 degrees difference in temperature. In the south, we have some frost around but in england and wales, there is frost around this morning, but we also have fog. Fog patches in south west england, south wales, parts of the midlands and east anglia and the south east. Some of that will lift into low cloud and if it sticks where you are, that will hold back the temperature. A fair bit of around today, producing rain and drizzle in the north west of scotland. Some brightness to the east of high ground in scotland and the same in Northern Ireland, the east of high ground seeing brightness and the same in northern england. Further south, again, brightness and the same in northern england. Furthersouth, again, some sunny skies around but not as many as there were yesterday. Temperature wise today, sixes and sevens in the south. Lower if you are stuck under an area that hangs onto some fog. Might not get higher to two or three. Further north, we could have 11 or 12 as the high. This evening and overnight, once again the cloud romps in and there will also still be some rain and drizzle affecting the west and the north of scotland. From this thicker cloud, we could see drizzle almost anywhere and some hill fog to boot as well. Not as cold in the south tonight compared to last night because we have more cloud. That leads us into tomorrow. Tomorrow we will have a lot of cloud around, low cloud at that, and quite grey for many and the cloud thick enough almost anywhere for some drizzle. Especially across the north and the west of scotland. Tomorrow like today, if you are in the shelter in the hills, theres the chance you could see cloud break up and sunshine could come through but a milder day across the board. More of an atlantic influence. At the moment we are dominated by High Pressure and that High Pressure in the rest of the week will be squeezed that bit further south. By the time we get to thursday, still a lot of cloud around and again, some of this will be low cloud with some hill fog around and some of the cloud again to the shelter of the hills will break. To the east of the grampians, for example, we could see breaks as well as in the district, to name but a few. As the High Pressure sinks further south, it allows weather fronts to come in across the north west and here we will see more persistent rain. The wind will also strengthen. Temperatures compared to wednesday are down a couple of degrees across the board. As for friday, here comes the weather front producing the rain across scotland and slipping steadily south through the day in northern areas. Pushing further south, while weve got something drier and there will be brightness around, we will even see oui brightness around, we will even see our old friend the sun coming back, temperatures 6 8 degrees. But that leads to a more unsettled weekend and a more unsettled start to next week as well. Carol, thank you very much and we will see you in half an hour. Lets take a look at todays papers. The sun devotes its front page entirely to a photograph of the Meghan Markle walking her dogs with baby, archie, on canadas Vancouver Island. The daily mail focuses on another royal, the queens eldest grandson, peter phillips, who the paper says has appeared in two adverts for a dairy firm on chinese tv. According to the mail, mr phillips did not respond to questions about the adverts, and Buckingham Palace declined to comment. The guardian leads with the announcement from tony hall, the bbcs director general, that he will step down from the helm after seven yea rs. It also has this incredible picture of a vast dust storm sweeping across a town in australias new south wales. And the metro leads on one of our main stories this morning government plans to get tougher on convicted terrorists, with measures including lie detector tests and longer prison sentences. I think we started with you yesterday, sally. To victoria. Thank you, good morning to you all. So today the World Economic forum kicks off in davos, this swiss mountainous town, and it has earned a reputation for kind of High Altitude pontification, where the global elite all gather and they are pitching their ideas on all sorts of different topics. For the first time, all five big slots are going to be about the environment. But for the very first time, lots of people here are slightly concerned about the Carbon Footprint, shall we say, of davos itself, because of people all going there in privatejets and stuff. So for the very first time, ceos and celebrities have been offered snowshoes and snow groups to encourage them to walk about the venue and think about their very real Carbon Footprint snow grips. I cant real Carbon Footprint snow grips. Icant imagine real Carbon Footprint snow grips. I cant imagine we are going to be seeing mrtrump in i cant imagine we are going to be seeing mr trump in his snowshoes anytime soon, but you never know. That is kind of interesting. We shall see. Very good for you, though, a bit of snowshoeing. Good for the glutes. I had a mate in School Called lee, who had very large shoes. Very large feet, and he could only wear snowshoes for a bit because his feet were so big. He was size 1a at the age of about nine. What was the problem with snowshoes then . Because they couldnt find shoes that fitted him, so he had to wear snowshoes. Its true why would you make up a story about that . The poor child, being sent to school in snowshoes in july. Ask him, lee clifts. And henry winter has talked about protecting footballers after Marcus Rushford spoke yesterday about his really quite serious injury. He has a second fracture in his back now, a stress fracture. He already had one, he came and played last week and he now has another and is facing a couple of months of recovering from that. Henry winter argues players need more protection from themselves. Someone like Marcus Rushford is desperate to play, once his club to do well, but someone, perhaps the coach, should have stepped in and said you should not be playing right now and you need rest, because rest is the only way to recover from the stress fracture he already had. And sort of related, actually, this is from the telegraph. They say that front gardens are really more important than back gardens. You should go and garden in yourfront than back gardens. You should go and garden in your front garden. And you area garden in your front garden. And you are a gardener, arent you . It is much more social. It encourages people to start conversations with neighbours and create a friendlier community. And were talking about this Massive Survey are doing about touch. They want to do a big. Where are you going with this . Nowhere is the answer, basically, as dan and nowhere is the answer, basically, as dan and i are very conscious of. They asked lots of questions about touch, saying when was the last time someone touched you intentionally, not including formal gestures such as handshakes . Do you think im a dan, that society enables us to touch often enough . I only mention this because. It is funny, a photographer came in and took some photographs of dan and myself, and they said can you hug . We said we dont touch. Never intentionally. And you know fridges, right . You dont often go in peoples fridges. You can go in your mums fridge, i think, but you dont go in anyone elses fridges. I have a picture of Stacey Solomons crisp cupboard. This is next level of organisation. The crests are individually. The crisp bags are individually hung up and clipped as a sort of circle thing, with a clip at the bottom. Look at the chocolate draw. That is remarkable levels of organisation drawer. I mean, youve got to gobble them as quickly as possible, surely. You cant put them on display. She says we have all sorts of ideas, sharing pictures, they are even arranged by colour. She says i have friends coming around, would you believe, i know there are a lot of people questioning whether i have friends coming overfor people questioning whether i have friends coming over for the crisp cupboard. It took ages to find these hooks. They are a lifesaver. Cupboard. It took ages to find these hooks. They are a lifesaverlj cupboard. It took ages to find these hooks. They are a lifesaver. I went in our biscuit cupboard and found some fig rolls from 2017. |j in our biscuit cupboard and found some fig rolls from 2017. I bet they are not there anymore. Of course. The family of teenage motorcyclist harry dunn, who died when he was hit by the wife of an american diplomat apparently driving on the wrong side of the road, say they are shocked and angered by film footage of a similar incident. Harry died in august last year near an raf base in northamptonshire. Over the weekend, dashcam pictures emerged showing another car in the area, also with Us Diplomatic plates, driving the wrong way. Its shocking, isnt it . Just highlights another issue, you know, around the bases, that this is happening all the time. A lot of it doesnt get reported, because there isnt any dash cam, you know, footage of it, so, you know, things are mentioned and you hear about them, but until youve actually seen them, but until youve actually seen them on film, you realise, you know, it is happening quite often. This is what our Main Campaign is. We want to make sure this doesnt. You know, it has to stop. These cases have to realise they have issues with servicemen leaving the bases, and these incidents happen. At the bases dont seem to really want to interact with us and get engaged with us, to talk to us about the issues, so its very hard, but it is something that we are going to fight and fight for all the way until we get some results. Harrys family also reacted to Prime Minister borisjohnsons comments made here on breakfast last week that the us is unlikely to agree to extradite Anne Sacoolas, the woman who is accused of driving the car involved in the crash. I think its shocking that he can make a Statement Like that, when it isa make a Statement Like that, when it is a legal process. You know, the extradition goes over to the states. It is done with the state department, and finally with mike pompeo to make a decision on that, andi pompeo to make a decision on that, and i dont think boris should really be making a statement saying that it really be making a statement saying thatitis really be making a statement saying that it is going to be a very low. You know, to actually get a result from it. So yes, thats shocking for him to say that. You know, its been a long fight for us to get to this stage, and for him to say that, its like hes not really backing us. We will be playing more of that interview and speaking live to harrys mum, charlotte, just after 8 00am this morning. Coming up on breakfast we are going to be looking at spy in the wild, the Nature Programme that gets closer to its subjects than most. I dont know what you well think about that programme, but it is absolutely incredible. We will be talking to them about the. What do you call them, robots . Animatronics . And how up close and personal they get with the different animals. This is the star of the programme. Get with the different animals. This is the star of the programmem get with the different animals. This is the star of the programme. It is quite mesmerising. It is absolutely lovely. It is going to be here in a second. It is here, but it will be sitting next to you later. It i am looking forward to that. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london, im tolu adeoye. A new report has found children are being held in harmful conditions at Feltham Young Offenders Institute in west london. It was one of five institutes highlighted by the chief inspector of prisons for multiple and widespread failings. It was found one inmate at feltham was left on a filthy matress on the floor cell for more than 22 hours. The government said it would be making immediate changes. Separating children should never be used as a punishment, and the Prison Service acknowledge that themselves. But most importantly, is the fact that they should be held in conditions which can help these children turn their lives around, and thats not happening if in effect they are being punished, and if the conditions in which they are held actually in amounts to what is internationally recognised as a solitary confinement. There is a big shortage of ethnic minority Foster Carers in some parts of the london. Richmond topped the list, with 44 of foster children from ethnic minority backgrounds in the area, compared to 14 of carers. Fostering Charities Say children are growing up not knowing their identities, and more needs to be done to ensure carers are representative of the children they look after.

Weather now, with kate kinsella. Good morning. It is another chilly start this morning. Away from Central London, temperatures below zero, so a little bit of frost there. Some petty mist and fog as well, and with the temperature where it is, we could see some freezing fog patches. There is some tricky driving conditions. Further south, more on the way of brightness. The fog lifting gradually today. Largely into cloud. Theres more of that around than yesterday. Some brighter spells, though, temperatures between four and five celsius. So feeling quite cold.

A difficult few hours for british players in melbourne at the Australian Open withjo konta going out in the first round for the first time and the british number one kyle to number one loss to tunisian jabeur and she had been struggling with a knee injury. I knew wouldnt have the match tightness that we all love to have as competitors. It didnt discourage me from doing the best i could today out there. It definitely wasnt enough in. The man who reached the semifinals two years ago in melbourne, kyle edmund, is out after being beaten in straight sets by 24th seed lajovic of serbia. It is his fourth first round exit in six appearances stop four other british players are also playing today. Today i wasnt quite at my best. I wasnt bad but he was playing some good tennis and i lost three straight sets, but it was reasonably tight. I got a break down in the second, broke back. I was a lwa ys in the second, broke back. I was always fighting but i couldnt get ahead in the match. Sometimes it isjust ahead in the match. Sometimes it is just not your day, thatis sometimes it is just not your day, that is what we have just seen with those two players at the australian 0pen. Those two players at the Australian Open. It is a shame, though. Thank you very much. You are welcome. The impeachment trial of donald trump begins today, hes the third us president to ever face the charges. Hes accused of abusing his powers by asking ukraine to investigate his political rivaljoe biden. The president denies any wrongdoing, calling the process a con job by the democrats. Here are some views from across america yesterday. Iam very i am very hopeful that there will be witnesses, there will be documents, and the truth will come out that this president put our country in danger. I think that money can go towards doing other things for the country instead of wasting American Time and money. We are definitely divided as a country but i think the majority feel the same way i do, he should no longer be the commander in chief. Its an effort from democrats to try to season some of the power they seem to be losing and slipping away from them, so thats their focus. I think the people for him, they completely trust him, which is scary you can trust one person with your entire world basically and your entire world basically and your entire country. I think he deserves the chance to finish out his time in office and hopefully get re elected. Some thoughts from the states in. Julia manchester is a political reporterfor the us news website the hill, and joins us now from washington, dc. Thank you very much fork coming on the programme this morning. Give us an idea first of all logistical what happens over the next few days. 0ver happens over the next few days. Over the next few days, youre going to the opening arguments from the president s defence team as well as democrats, very much going after the president in the senate. Last night you saw Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell released a compressed schedule of the next couple of days of the opening arguments. Both sides will get 24 hours over the course of two days to present their arguments and such and tell what direction they are going to go in this entire process. Hes already getting pushback and we have seen Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer from new york essentially saying Mitch Mcconnell is trying to squeeze this process into a very short amount of time and not really give democrats enough time to very much resent their argument. He arguing since there would be only 24 hours in those two days to present their opening arguments and such, it will stretch into the evening and a lot of americans will no longer be watching television or maybe paying attention at that time. So a lot of debate as to how this very much carries out over the couple of days, but weve seen the outline of it already released. You talk about the attention of the American People, how much focus and how much appetite is there for whats going to happen be happening over the next couple of days in america is there . Weve seen the American People involved in this Political Drama ever since President Donald Trump took office, so much Media Attention surrounding the Mueller Investigation into russian interference and how President Donald Trump factored into that and we also hear this quite a bit talked about when it comes to our upcoming 2020 election. There are three senators running for president , technically four, who have had to come back from to washington for the trial. You have seen the American People exposed to this impeachment process. However, there is definitely a fatigue with this partisanship you have been seeing in washington. Remember, impeachment is a very washington centric issue. 0utside a very washington centric issue. Outside of washington, americans have other issues for front of their minds, such as healthcare, the economy, Prescription Drug reform, those Kitchen Table issues that impact them day to day. A number of the Senate Democrats who have had to come back from the campaign trail say they are worried about leaving the campaign trail because this is not forefront on voters minds. The campaign trail because this is not forefront on voters mindslj not forefront on voters minds. know we will wait to see what happens but is there a feeling he wont be removed from office . Thats the general consensus on all of this. This and it is controlled by republicans and we have seen republicans and we have seen republicans have repeatedly fallen into line with President Donald Trump the senate is. We know Mitch Mcconnell is a very skill tactician and he knows how to get his caucus to fall in line. We will be paying attention to a couple of republicans who have been very critical of President Trump through his presidency, mitt romney, Susan Collins and lisa murkowski, and we will be taken only focusing on those republican senators like Susan Collins, who have uphill real action bids in their own states. Thank you for that. We will be following this closely over the next three days real action bids. She came from jamaica in the 1960s and it has taken decades to sort her immigration status and she returned to the uk last month after the home 0ffice admitted they had made a mistake. She has been speaking to our Community Affairs correspondent adina campbell. For the first time in more than four decades, chiplin burton can rest a bit easier stop if he arrived in lancashire from jamaica in 1965, aged seven, on her parents passports, one of many caribbean families who came to the uk, known as the windrush narration, and given indefinite leave to remain but chiplins first problems started in the 1970s when she returned to jamaica with her family but she was later refused entry back into the uk. I was stopped in jamaica from 1976 to the year 2001, and i had to struggle. There were times where i felt like telling myself. When chiplin eventually came back to the uk, she ended up staying and working in Care Services without legal documents until 2015. She then received the news she was dreading. 0h, chiplyn, im terribly sorry but theyve decided theyre not going to give you your stay. I asked what they mean . They said, im sorry, we have to lock you up topic me up . Am i a have to lock you up topic me up . Am ia criminal . Have to lock you up topic me up . Am i a criminal . Chiplyn was detained at yarns would Detention Centre in bedfordshire for three months. Did you have a chance to say goodbye to yourfamily . Did you have a chance to say goodbye to your family . No. Not even a phone call . No, nothing at all. She was then deported back to jamaica. It was only when the scale of the windrush scandal came to light almost two years ago when she realised she was one of the many victims who had been mistreated. Oh, boy. Can you give me a second, please . Chiplyn finally got the news she had been desperately longing for in november last year. In a statement, the home office says miss burton has now been granted indefinite leave to remain and a member of its Vulnerable Persons Team is in close contact with her. Chiplyn flew back to the uk three weeks ago and is now working with lawyers to claim compensation through the government windrush scheme. If they even give me £1 million, £1 billion, cannot buy back my happiness, it cannot buy back my life because it is forever scarred. Adina campbell, bbc news. It isa it is a long fight, isnt it . The home office says it is determined to right the wrongs experienced by the windrush generation. We will keep on top of the chiplyn story as well. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. There is frost and fog, and a real difference in temperature north to south, for some 15 degrees difference. For the next two days, the forecast is a mostly cloudy one. Some glimmers of sunshine, but as we head through wednesday, thursday and friday, the emphasis will be on a bit more cloud. However, it will be largely dry. I say largely because some of that cloud will be thick enough to produce some rain and drizzle. If you are travelling, the met office has a yellow weather warnings out for us. Some fog patches across southern england and wales. Expect more visibility. Patchy fog, but we are currently seeing other fog forming across parts of the midlands and also heading down towards the south eastern east anglia. So if you are travelling any of these routes this morning, or the minor roots as well, do take extra care. Some of the fog will just lift well, do take extra care. Some of the fog willjust lift up into low cloud. If that happens, that will really peg back the temperatures. So a lot of cloud today. There will be some breaks, some breaks in the shelter of the hills, in the grampians, the pennines, the peaks, and also the moors. So there will be some sun. 0n the south coast, we could also see some sunshine as well, after a cold and frosty start across england and wales. But the cloud will be thick enough to be producing some spots of rain and some drizzle in the north and the west. Now, through this evening and overnight we hang onto the rain in the drizzle. But look how that cloud pushes a lot further south. So this coming night is not going to be as cold as the one that has just gone in the south. And in the north, were still looking at overnight lows of seven or nine degrees. They are more like maximum temperatures at this time of year, not minimum ones. So as we go through the course of wednesday, what you will notice is we are going to be under the influence of High Pressure. But also were going to see more of an atla ntic were going to see more of an atlantic influence coming our way, so it will be milder during the course of wednesday, but it will also be cloudy as well. A lot of cloud around across much of the british isles. That cloud is low cloud, some hill fog around as well, so it will be thick enough for some spots of drizzle almost anywhere, but particularly across the north and the and temperatures across the board nine to about 12 degrees. So a milder day on wednesday. Then as we head on into thursday and friday, watch how our High Pressure that has been dominating our weather this week is squashed, and that allows areas of weather fronts to come in from the north west, and they will bring in some more rain with them as they do so, and it will turn that bit easier. As we head onto thursday into friday, do expect a fair bit of cloud around. There will also be some rain on the north, but the cloud again thick enough for some spots of drizzle here and there, and into the weekend, well, the forecast is looking more unsettled than it has been this week. It will be windier with sunshine and showers. Bit of a mix on the way, carol. Thank you very much. Beales, one of the countrys Oldest Department stores, has gone into administration. If no buyer is found, as many as 23 stores could close down across the uk, many of them on high streets that have already seen closures. Vic is looking at this today. And this isjust and this is just the story of the high street at the moment, isnt it . And we have been talking about this for at least five years. A lot of this is a bit of a hangover from the financial crisis. It has been difficult for lots of businesses. Yes, as you say, there are 23 Beales Department Stores Across the country, from bournemouthm where it was founded in 1881, up to perth in scotland, many of them in towns that have already lost a big high street name like m s, bhs, or debenhams. The administrator kpmg has said beales will stay open for the time being, but if the administrators cant find a buyer or turn things around, there are more than 1,000 jobs at stake. What has gone wrong for beales . What is the issue . Well, they didnt have a great christmas, and they have been struggling with high rents and business rates. It lost £3. 1 million in the year to march 2019. They did actually try and find an investor last year but they were u nsuccessful. Investor last year but they were unsuccessful. But these businesses are of course something of an institution. Bournemouth hq. Beales has stood here for nearly 140 years. Stores like these have been cornerstones of writtens high streets for generations. 300 miles north, at another seaside town, shoppers in southport are digesting the news that another big store is under threat. I remember a time when it was buzzing, you know, and there wasnt so much internet shopping. It wasnt so much internet shopping. It was more so you need is something you had to go out and get it. Every time we drive down the street on the park and ride bus, it is like another shop has gone. 0r lord street, it is really sad, because theres so many different shops that have gone. Debenhams has gone down that end, and we dont know what is going to be happening with beales. So it isjust really sad. We dont wa nt so it isjust really sad. We dont want to be Walking Around in the cold. We would ratherjust order it online. But then obviously they are not making money. Yes, i think they are shutting because students like us, we never have time to come out. It is ona us, we never have time to come out. It is on a rare day like this, you dont really want to go shopping. Southport lost its debenhams here just on sunday. And back in 2016 it lost its phs as well. Big stores like these, they act as magnets for a town, and when they go, there is less reason for shoppers to just nip into town and pick up a few things. And, asa into town and pick up a few things. And, as a result, other businesses can suffer. Across the road is susanna. She runs a cafe and bar that does well from passing trade. We have been here for about five yea rs, we have been here for about five years, but the cafe itself has been here 130 years. Said people have been having cups of tea here for 130 yea rs . Been having cups of tea here for 130 years . 130 years. Wow, amazing. It is not just about years . 130 years. Wow, amazing. It is notjust about southport. Since 2008, it is globally, and i think nationally we have to have some sort of policy about what we do nationally about the high street. But the problem is people arejust not shopping as much. We had that data out the other day from the british retail consortium, the first fall in retail sales for over a quarter of a century. Can you really go quarter of a century. Can you really 9 up quarter of a century. Can you really go up against economics like that . Know, and for those of us working in retail, we got to work out whether thats a short term trend thats about portion around brexit, makes an economic difference in this country, or whether people are spending less. But for some, it is too late. It is a familiar story across the country. The community here is optimistic, and the council, looking at options to fill the empty spaces. But the question is whether any business can step up and fill the gaps appearing on this heritage high street. So you really sense a change afoot. What can councils do to help . Well, the council has been trying to fill the council has been trying to fill the bhs which has been closed for the bhs which has been closed for the last four years. Debenhams shut on the sunday at one end of the high street, this is lord street. At the other end, a mile down the road, you have beales in administration. So it is very tricky. The argument has a lwa ys is very tricky. The argument has always been from councils that these are the big Magnet Stores that attract the people and the shoppers m, attract the people and the shoppers in, which means that they then go on spending cafe s and restaurants and all that kind of thing. So it is difficult. What really struck me when i was Walking Around was the affection that people have for this town. People when there are lots of family holidays and that sort of thing, and people want to go and spend money in this town. The council says it does have £25 million to invest in terms of the government town deal, so it does have money to invest, but what do you do with these big stores . Do you turn them into residential, do you turn them into residential, do you turn them into a hotel . Sites like the debenhams. Turn them into a hotel . Sites like the debenhams. Sorry, turn them into a hotel . Sites like the debenhams. Sorry, the bhs on 0xford the debenhams. Sorry, the bhs on Oxford Street in london, that has been turned into a food hall. Could you do something similar . Who knows . It isa you do something similar . Who knows . It is a really, really tricky problem for these businesses. And particularly for the prettiest high streets across the country, because listed buildings actually dont pay empty liability rates. And as a result, what happens is, when they go empty, there is not the same incentive to fill them. So actually you have this great irony that some of our most beautiful high streets are struggling the most. It is really interesting, and i like what you are thinking about with those big buildings, because i was thinking yesterday what can they do to get people in there . Thank you very much indeed. I also enjoyed your shadowy figures. When mick cullen set off from john o groats to hike the length of britain, he did so injust a pair of swimming trunks and his beloved everton scarf.

Good morning from bbc london, im tolu adeoye. A new report has found children are being held in harmful conditions at Feltham Young Offenders Institute in west london. It was one of five institutes highlighted by the chief inspector of prisons for multiple and widespread failings. It was found one inmate at feltham was left on a filthy matress on the floor cell for more than 22 hours. The government said it would be making immediate changes. Separating children should never be used as a punishment, and the Prison Service acknowledged that themselves. But most importantly is the fact that they should be held in conditions which can help these children turn their lives around, and thats not happening if in effect theyre being punished, and if the conditions in which theyre held actually amounts to what is internationally recognised as a solitary confinement. There is a big shortage of ethnic minority Foster Carers in some parts of the london. In richmond, almost half of foster children are from ethnic minority backgrounds in the area, compared to 14 of carers. Fostering Charities Say children are growing up not knowing their identities, and more needs to be done to ensure carers are representative of the children they look after. People living at the barbican are calling for speed restrictions on the night tube after a trial found it helped to reduce noise. Speeds on the hammersmith city and metropolitan lines were 50 slower during testing. Tfl says it plans to continue work to upgrade the track in area. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on the tubes this morning, but southwark tube station is closed because of a burst watermain. That is also affecting blackfriars road, which is closed between southwark street and the cut, as you can see there. In west london, kew road is partially blocked at richmond circus for emergency repairs. Finally, in fulham, north end road is closed from the cock tavern pub to shorrolds road because of a sinkhole. Weather now, with kate kinsella. Good morning. Its another chilly start this morning. Away from Central London, temperatures below zero, so a little bit of frost there. Some patchy mist and fog as well, and with the temperature where it is, we could see some freezing fog patches. Theres some tricky driving conditions. Further south, more in the way of brightness. The fog lifting gradually today, largely into cloud. Theres more of that around than yesterday, some brighter spells, though. Temperatures between 4 5 celsius, so feeling quite cold. Now, overnight, an extensive amount of cloud. Some mist and fog developing, especially over higher ground, but its not going to be quite as cold. The minimum temperature above zero, between 1 4 celsius. So another grey start wednesday morning, the cloud thick enough overnight and through tomorrow to produce a spot of drizzle. Nothing too much in the way of rain, though, but very limited brightness. That cloud staying with us for the next few days, through thursday and through friday. Its not until the weekend where the temperature starts to pick up a little, the breeze starts to pick up, and it turns more unsettled. Im back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. Bye for now. Windrush generation. We will keep on top of the chiplyn story as well. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast. Prince harry has touched down in canada in the last few hours to rejoin his wife and son. Puffer terror laws after last years London Bridge attack, including longerjail London Bridge attack, including longer jail sentences and London Bridge attack, including longerjail sentences and lie detector tests before prisoners are released.

A hugely disappointing day for british players at the australian 0pen british players at the Australian Open with jo konta british players at the australian 0pen withjo konta out in the first round, while kyle and is on his way home to two. They didnt win a set between them. Good morning. Today a fair bit of around, some spots of rain could be in the north and west, but sunshine under clear skies, where weve had frost and fog overnight. Something to watch out for on yourjourney to work this morning. More details later in the programme. Prince harry has touched down in canada in the last few hours to rejoin his wife and son. The duke of sussex flew from the uk last night after announcing he had no choice but to step back from his royal duties. Lets speak to our north american correspondent sophie long, whos on Vancouver Island. Lovely to have you on the programme. This is the new life they have been speaking about for the last few weeks, it gives today . Good morning. Thats right, we now know prince harry has landed in canada and we can only assume at the moment he is saying some warm hellos to his wife, maggie. The couple have been separated by thousands of miles and an eight hourtime separated by thousands of miles and an eight hour time difference. What can only be described as an extremely turbulent time for the royal couple. He landed in vancouver and made a short hop to Victoria International airport on Vancouver Island where they spent part of their winter break with their sun, archie. He wouldnt have seen him in weeks because he went to canada with magan. He talked about his Great Sadness that it had come to this and the fact he had had to take a step back from the royal family. The fact he had had to take a step back from the royalfamily. He talked about archie seeing snow for the first time and how much he loved it, so an indication of the more peaceful life they are hoping to achieve on Vancouver Island. We know harry would have boarded the plane in the uk after carrying out final official engagements in london yesterday with a heavy heart. He talked about how sad he was that it had come to this but now he has arrived and he will be with his wife, meghan, who has been here for the past week now and she has been carrying out engagements on Vancouver Island, supporting Charities Close to her heart. Charities supporting womens empowerment. Indications of the kind of life the couple are going to have here. A lot of questions remain unanswered. This is the thursday of the transitional period for the couple but we dont know how they will live and how they plan to become financially independent, or their immigration status. A lot of questions to be answered but the sense you get from people on Vancouver Island as they are very welcome and its a very relaxed community, and they feel if the press leaves them alone, and they have much more hope of that happening here, they can start to embark on that more peaceful life both of the couple have wished for and also they have come here with the blessing of the queen. Sophie long, thank you for speaking to us this morning. New Anti Terrorism measures including increased minimum sentences and an end to automatic Early Release have been confirmed by the government. The announcement comes in the wake of the London Bridge attack in november, in which usman khan killed two people while out of prison on licence. Heres our home Affairs Correspondent, daniel sandford. The fishmongers hall attacker usman khan had come out of prison one year before the attack. Hed been serving 16 years for preparing terrorist acts, but had been released automatically halfway through that sentence. Visiting the metropolitan polices Specialist Training facility, home secretary priti patel has announced a further increase in funding for counterterrorism policing of £90 million, but she also promised that by mid march, therell be a new counterterrorism bill before parliament, ending the automatic Early Release of terrorist prisoners and raising the minimum sentence available tojudges. We will ensure that we increase sentences to 14 years for the offenders who are involved in planning terrorist offences but also involved in training for terrorist offences as well, and with that we are absolutely clear that we are going to be reviewing licensing conditions so that people do not have Early Release. Ministers say theyll introduce lie detector tests for people recently released and prison for terrorist offences, and theyll double the number of probation officers specialising in counterterrorism. Therell also be more psychologists and imams involved in deradicalising prisoners. 0nce somebody has been radicalised, no one is saying that theres a 100 guarantee that someone can be deradicalised, but if there is a chance, we ought to be funding that and committing to it. Counterterrorism police say their work has gone up by a third in three years, and insist the best way to turn the tide is to divert people away from extremism in the first place. Daniel sandford, bbc news. Us Service Personnel and their families will be given uk Driver Training when they arrive at the raf base near to where the teenage motorcyclist harry dunn was killed last year. Harry was struck by a car driven by the wife of a us diplomat, who was apparently on the wrong side of the road. The announcement follows the emergence of dash cam footage showing a different car, also with Us Diplomatic plates, driving on the wrong side. It hasnt stopped. These bases have to realise theyve got issues with their servicemen leaving the bases, and these incidents happening. At the moment, the bases dont seem to really wa nt the moment, the bases dont seem to really want to interact with us and engage with us to talk to us about the issues, so its very hard but it is something were going to fight and fight for all the way until we get well be speaking to harrys mum, charlotte, just after 8am this morning. China has confirmed that the new respiratory virus spreading across the country can be transmitted from person to person. Four people have died so far from the coronavirus, with 200 infected. Stephen mcdonnell is in beijing. Millions of Chinese People are on the move, going home for the Lunar New Year celebrations. Here at beijing station, the capitals oldest Long Distance train station, you can see how many people are moving around and the news this virus, the coronavirus, can jump from person to person means screening at places like this is much more important. Australia is the latest country to join others in watching when people come in off lights and testing them, especially when they are coming from wuhan. Theres a case of somebody who has returned from wuhan in brisbane who has been placed in isolation. Theyre not sure yet if he has the coronavirus, but scientists here have joined those in the uk saying that although there are hundreds of people who have been infected, they think the real figure could be thousands, and thats because look how many people are travelling around china at the moment. The virus has not only spread to other chinese cities but to other countries, and thats why the authorities are not taking any chances and theyve put all these extra screening measures in place. Donald trumps impeachment trial begins in the United States senate today, with democrats and republicans set to disagree sharply on the rules. The president is charged with abusing his powers by asking ukraine to investigate his political rivaljoe biden. Heres our washington correspondent, gary 0donoghue. Will all senators now stand or remain standing . Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of donald john trump. Yes, these are 100 members of the United States senate, but for the next few weeks, they will also be jurors and judges. They get to fix the rules of the trial and decide on guilt. Well, well be sitting there in our chairs probably in the order of six hours a day, starting at 1pm eastern time and then six days a week. This is going to be a kind of gruelling exercise but also one that will be public. There are almost no rules for a trial like this and democrats and republicans are completely at odds over where whether to call witnesses at all. That means this trial could last anything from 2 6 weeks. In the coming days, Senate Republicans are going to face a choice will they take their cues from the white house, as leader mcconnell clearly stated, and engage in a cover up for President Donald Trump . Or will they, in this most sacred of undertakings prescribed by the constitution, vote for a fair trial with witnesses . It would take a two thirds majority in the senate to convicted the president and remove him from office. That is extremely unlikely. Nevertheless, these coming weeks will resonate for years to come. Gary 0donoghue, bbc news, washington. The wreckage of the titanic will be protected from potentially damaging expeditions thanks to a momentous new agreement between the us and the uk. Almost 35 years since the liner was discovered, an agreement has been drawn up to block efforts to explore its remains. The deal will grant or deny licences to enter sections of the ships sunken hull. Titanic has been under water for more than a century. Those are some of the main stories around this morning. Lets return to one of our top stories today. Last november, the London Bridge attacker usman khan killed two people while attending a prisoner rehabilitation event. Hed been released halfway through a 16 year sentence for preparing acts of terrorism. The governments now promising new laws to end Early Release in the most serious offences, and promising more money for Counter Terror policing. Lets talk to the justice secretary, Robert Buckland, whos in our westminster studio. Good morning and thank you for joining us. Lets talk about these new laws, what difference could it have made in the example of usman khan . If you remember the time of that terrible incident, there was discussion about the sentencing machine that applied at the time of those men cants sentence and although changes have been made in the last ten years or so, we think we can go further to end the prospect of automatic release, which happened in the case of usman khan, and secondly Early Release before serving the full term of that sentence and its for the most serious offences we want to go one stage further and make sure longer terms of imprisonment are served in full and beyond that terms of supervision on licence are increased so we maximise Public Protection. It goes against what Jack Merritts father said in the wake of what happened, he said he would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily. His father would be concerned this would be the government reaction to what happened. I make no apology for putting Public Protection at the top of the agenda. I take on board that there are some people who are capable of rehabilitation, but, as i said at time, there are sadly others who are not. Therefore this package is not just about the sentencing regime, its about what we do in our prisons with regard to either dealing with the risk of terrorism or reducing the risk of terrorism or reducing the risk of three programmes of rehabilitation and addressing the causes of extremism. I want to come to rehabilitation in a moment but i understand you may make use of lie detectors. How effective is that and how will it protect the public . They are already used with sex offenders. They came in about seven years ago. They arent part of the criminal vesta geisha and process all the evidence one might hear in Court Criminal investigation. Its about authorities assessing the risk to the public. They are used in sexual offence incidents. Polygraph testing will be introduced. This is not a new concept and this is sensible to maximise our understanding of the risks that some of these prisoners oppose to society. The other question as well, particularly about rehabilitation, and the psychologist behind the uks main Deradicalisation Programme said there is no way in some of these cases to prove somebody is deradicalised. Well, this is the problem. When you get people who can superficially comply with the regime, as seems to have been the case in kahns case, and suddenly change their superficial compliance into offending and worse. That is challenging authorities, which is why investing more in measures within prison, and the regime by which we have experienced and trained probation officers and psychologists to really get to grips with the issues, i think will help us with the issues, i think will help us minimise that risk. I dont pretend we can never eliminate it, but i think the measures we have announced today, not just but i think the measures we have announced today, notjust on policing but on measures within prisons, will help us improve our response and help us minimise the risk that is posed to the public by this type of offending, of offender. You talk about offenders, and we know what is going on in prisons, especially funding and how that is affected, and in the Probation Service as well. How much investment doesnt need, and will you be putting enough in . Because the monitoring of all these people is expensive, isnt it . Well, thats right. I think in the past it has been a particular challenge. And of course, priorities have to be assessed. I think where were going to go now is that, with the funding that we getting for the prisons and the patients service, we will be able to do more work by doubling the number of specialist probation officers in our presence prisons and Probation Service. We will increase the number of psychologists and specialist imams in our prisons, and specialist imams in our prisons, and increasing the training programmes, regular updating of training to staff, so that they more readily spot the tell tale signs and ta ke readily spot the tell tale signs and take action. Within the community, when people are released, improving approved premises provision and improving tagging. All of these measures will be possible as a result of the announcement today. And i am sure you will agree with me, all this takes time to get people in place. The criticism you have had from the labour party is that this is too late, some of this. Well, i think we are under a rolling duty to assess the threat that is posed by terrorism, and i think it is very easy for critics to be wise after the event. What we have to do when it comes to notjust terrible events like the fishmongers hall incident but more generally when it comes to assessing the types of prisoners we have in our present and Probation Service, we have to be ready to challenge our own assumptions at all times, and to ask ourselves the question, i we really on top of this . And frankly, having that frank conversation and openly discussing it, and admitting that we can do more, is part of the way in which i think we will properly address this issue and help to minimise the risk to the public. So i make no apology for the fact that we wa nt i make no apology for the fact that we want to do more. The question is, in future, how do we track it . Is it just going to be islamic terrorism . The far right are a factor as well. We deal with many facets of extremism in our presence, and our work is world leading. Justice secretary robert butland, thank you for your time on breakfast. Did you find it particularly cold when you got up this morning . No, i thought it was cold yesterday. I felt this morning when i threw out the duvet it was very cold. Well, it is a cold start to the day, we have crossed across england and wales this morning and some folk to boot as well. In fact, there is a real difference in temperature, north to south. 0vernight, some parts of the north of scotland didnt fall below just under 11 degrees, whereas in the south of england, some of us had temperatures as low as 5. So if you are in an area with 5, it is not surprising there is some frost around. You will probably have to scrape your car windscreen. We also have some fog around first thing this morning, more on that injust a jiffy. But as we look through the rest of the week, it is going to be mostly cloudy. But it will be largely dry. Having said that, some of the cloud this week will be low, thick bowed, and it will produce some rain. The fog could be problematic especially across southern england and wales. The met 0ffice southern england and wales. The met office has a yellow weather warnings out for this. Disability will be poor at times. You will find out a wee bit more about where you are on your bbc local radio station. This, generally speaking, is the fog risk area, south west england, south wales, in three parts of the midlands and forming at the moment across parts of east anglia and the south east. Some tricky travelling conditions. Most of that will lift into cloud, but some of it will stick, and if you are in an area where it sticks, your temperature may not get up much higher than two or three degrees. But across the board were looking at a lot of cloud. There will still be some sunny breaks, especially in the shelter of the hills across eastern scotland, the pennines, the Peak District, parts of the down towards the south coast and east of Northern Ireland. Even so, across the north and west of scotland the cloud will be thick enough for some splashes of rain. As we head onto the evening and overnight, that cloud will move across all areas tonight. And were looking at temperatures not falling as low as they did last night. 0nce again we have three or four in the south, as opposed to 5 and 4, and as we push further north, we are looking at some milder conditions. So, then, as we head on into wednesday, look at the yellows across the chart. High pressure still in charge of our weather, as it has been all week and will be for much of week, and it is pulling the pulling in a little bit more of an atlantic influence. So for tomorrow, despite the fact that there is a lot of cloud around, not just what we see milder conditions, but from the atlantic, more moist conditions as well. Some of that cloud will be producing some drizzle, almost anywhere, actually, but there is a higher chance across the north and the west. And yes, there will be some glimmers of brightness in the shelter of the hills, but for most it will be a fairly grey day, with temperatures between about ten and 12 degrees. So you can see the temperatures have gone up, but they are going to go back down again. As we had to thursday and into friday, you can see this High Pressure being squeezed, and that is going to allow the progress of some weather fronts. Note the isobars as well in the north of the country, it is going to get that little bit windier once again. Through the course of thursday and friday, we have the rain coming across the north of the country. The south will be drier, brighter at times, but dont forget there will be some cloud at times, a fair bit of drizzle, leading us into a windy weekend for some, but also sunshine and showers. So as you said earlier, dan, earlier, sunshine and showers. So as you said earlier, dan, i right old mixed bag. And tough for speedo mick, who is our guest a little bit later, walking the length of the country in just this pants. It is a little bit chilly out there at the moment. Yes, it is i am not quite sure what you can say about that, carol. it is i am not quite sure what you can say about that, carol. I think her face said it all, carol. Hopefully he is on this way here. Around 20 5am we will get first sight of him, and were just turning up sight of him, and were just turning up the heat a little bit. It wont help him that much, because he will go back outside where it is cold. And we will speak to someone who has spent 65 days up a pole, named vernon kruger. What happens to various things while you are in a barrel 65 days in a barrel. He is unjust before 8am this morning, mr barrel man. And you need to head for heights to be up there. Anyway, we will talk to him a little bit later. The nhs in england faces more than 10,000 new claims for clinical negligence each year. Some cost thousands of pounds to settle. 0thers reach the Million Pound mark. Now, bbc news has learned that the bill for legal fees alone is costing more than £4 billion, and there are fears that the costs are spiralling out of control, as Angus Crawford reports. Brother, son, grandson. This is hayden. Soon after, though, he was rushed to hospital. A virus attacking this heart. And, after a failure in care, he died there, at just six days old. We just sit there and watch as our sun slowly died in front of our eyes, literally. And then he died, in front of our eyes. It has been four years so far of trauma after trauma. In the face of official silence, they felt they had no choice but to sue. I havent really thought about it as suing the nhs. I have thought about it as kind of fighting for voice for hayden, and fighting for, you know, acknowledgement of his life and his rights. I dont think we really had a choice. You cant bring that person back. Nothing is going to bring them back. And the only thing that helps is to have acknowledgement that they existed, that they mattered, and answers as to why, how this happened. The hospital did eventually admit liability, years later. That picture is being repeated across england. Payments for clinical negligence have doubled since 2015. Last year, the nhs paid out £2. 3 billion, but the nhs paid out £2. 3 billion, but the total cost of outstanding claims now stands at a staggering £83 billion. And weve learnt legal fees make up £4. 3 billion of that. Doctors worry the costs are spiralling out of control, but lawyers for patients say the rise is driven by failures in care. The nhs in england says 70 of claims are now resolved without going to court, and it is committed to learn from incidents in order to improve patient safety. But haydens death is evidence of a system that failed, when his parents believe is an urgent need of reform. when his parents believe is an urgent need of reform. I mean, imagine spending that money on training, on more doctors and nurses. There is a death, and you pay, theres a death, you pay, there an injury, you pay. And they are not actually fixing the source of the problem. So itjust going to be repeated. You are watching breakfast. Still to come this is vernon kruger. You can see him in that barrel at the top of a pole. He has been living in that barrel for more than two months. There is a bit of movement there, as well, isnt it . He has set a new world record in the process. He has said to his supporters that he mightjust stay there for a lot longer. We will speak to him shortly. You have to enjoy your own company. And also have a head for heights. Extraordinary. Good morning from bbc london. A new report has found children are being held in harmful, solitary conditions at Feltham Young Offenders Institute in west london. It was one of five institutes highlighted by the chief inspector of prisons for multiple and widespread failings. One inmate at feltham was left on a filthy matress on the floor for more than 22 hours. The government has said it will be making immediate changes. Separating children should never be used as a punishment, and the Prison Service acknowledged that themselves. But most importantly is the fact that they should be held in conditions which can help these children turn their lives around, and thats not happening if in effect theyre being punished, and if the conditions in which theyre held actually amounts to what is internationally recognised as a solitary confinement. Police are investigating a suspected hit and run at wimbledon park. They are appealing for witnesses. There is a big shortage of ethnic minority Foster Carers in some parts of london. In richmond, almost half of children needing care are from ethnic minority backgrounds, compared to 14 of carers. Fostering Charities Say children are growing up not knowing their identities, and more must be done to ensure ca re rs are representative of the children they look after. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. There is a good service on the tubes this morning, but southwark tube station is closed because of a burst watermain. That is also affecting blackfriars road, which is closed between southwark street and the cut, as you can see there. In west london, kew road is partially blocked at richmond circus for emergency repairs. In for emergency repairs. Wimbledon park, there is a closure in wimbledon park, there is a closure after the suspected hit and run that i mentioned earlier. Several side roads have also been closed by police. Finally, also been closed by police. Finally, a lane closed on beckton roundabout, so expect delays around there. Weather now, with kate kinsella. Good morning. Its another chilly start this morning. Away from Central London, temperatures below zero, so a little bit of frost there. Some patchy mist and fog as well, and with the temperature where it is, we could see some freezing fog patches. Theres some tricky driving conditions. Further south, more in the way of brightness. The fog lifting gradually today, largely into cloud. Theres more of that around than yesterday, some brighter spells, though. Temperatures between 4 5 celsius, so feeling quite cold. Now, overnight, extensive amount of cloud. Some mist and fog developing, especially over higher ground, but its not going to be quite as cold. The minimum temperature above zero, between 1 4 celsius. So another grey start wednesday morning, the cloud thick enough overnight and through tomorrow to produce a spot of drizzle. Nothing too much in the way of rain, though, but very limited brightness. That cloud staying with us for the next few days, through thursday and through friday. Its not until the weekend where the temperature starts to pick up a little, the breeze starts to pick up, and it turns more unsettled. Im back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. Bye for now. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and Louise Minchin. Well bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning prince harry has arrived in canada in the last few hours to rejoin his wife and son. The duke of sussex and flew from the uk last night after announcing he had no choice but to step back from royal life. In his lasting agement he went to a uk africa summit from monday. The measures come in the wake of the London Bridge attack in november, where usman khan killed two people while out on licence. Lie detectors have been introduced in assessing the risk posed to the public by sex offenders. They came in about seven years ago. Theyre not part of the criminal investigation process all the evidence one might hear in court. Its all about the authorities assessing the risk. They are used in sexual offences. In the Domestic Abuse proposals we produced, polygraph testing will be introduced, so this is not a new concept and its a sensible measure to maximise the understanding of the risks some of these prisoners posed to society. Us Service Personnel and their families will be given uk Driver Training when they arrive at the raf base near to where the teenage motorcyclist harry dunn was killed last year. Harry was struck by a car driven by the wife of a us diplomat, who was apparently on the wrong side of the road. The announcement follows the emergence of dash cam footage showing a different car, also with Us Diplomatic plates, driving on the wrong side. Authorities have confirmed one man is in isolation in australia with suspected coronavirus from china stop four people have died from a new respiratory virus in china, which the Authorities Say can be transmitted from person to person. The World Health Organisation says it will hold an emergency meeting on the outbreak later this week. The nhs in england owes more than £4 billion in legal fees to settle outstanding claims of clinical negligence, according to figures obtained by bbc news. The figures were obtained through a freedom of information request. Its estimated that the overall cost of unsettled compensation claims stands at more than £80 billion. That compares to an annual budget of £130 billion. Donald trump will today become only the third american president to go on trial in the us senate, charged with high crimes and misdemeanours. He has been accused by the house of representatives of abusing his powers by pressing ukraine to investigate his rivaljoe biden. A two thirds majority is needed to convict mr trump and remove him from office. Those are some of the main stories on this Tuesday Morning and carol has the weather later. Shes been sailing cold at the moment and a mixed extra over the next few days, a bit ofa mixed extra over the next few days, a bit of a wonky weekend on the way shes been saying mixed picture. Thats a good way of putting it how is it going in australia, not so well for british players . Not brilliantly for various reasons. We can go live to melbourne, lots of british players in action overnight at the Australian Open and we can speak to john watson, who is watching it unfold. Lets start with joke on her, we know she has been struggling with injury but how has she got on lets start with jo with injury but how has she got on lets start withjo konta. Lets start with jo konta. Youre right, on the face of it british number one, as we know, had success here previously by reaching the semifinals. It should be an upset, Johanna Konta going out in the first round, but she has struggled with injury and she had a difficult year last year and only played one tournament before this years Australian Open and it is that knee injury that has affected her. That is really behind the reason she has gone out early. Not that she was necessarily blaming that on the result but in the recovery process, she says she doesnt want to rush back as quickly as possible and she has her eyes set on other tournaments perhaps later this year. We know she will have a huge amount of support at wimbledon but its a huge disappointment, and it means we are looking to the other british players in action later to what they can produce. Dan evans already through, as we know. Kyle edmund didnt fare much better, did he . Know, a real disappointment for kyle edmund. We talked about the bad weather here yesterday with lots of rain, he was up by a break in the first set of his opening match and he had to come back today to com plete he had to come back today to complete it but he lost in straight sets to busan lajovic, and we know hes had relative success here, reaching the semifinals lajovic. We wa nt reaching the semifinals lajovic. We want to how Heather Watson and Katie Boulter get on, the remaining british players playing today, and cameron norrie, but dan evans is the only remaining british hope in the second round at the moment. Lovely sunshine and a great atmosphere, just gone 7 30am with you and have a look over here. A bit early for a cocktail . Certainly not here in the sunshine. We just about heard you. I dont know if you know but you have got some fans behind you, take a look and those kids, they are obviously big john watson fans rate to talk to you, john watson in melbourne. He was genuinely being mobbed earlier. Hes having the time of his life i think there hes one of the most exciting young footballers in the world with the biggest clubs inteested in signing him, but for now Kylian Mbappe is happy at paris saint germain. He wasjust 19 when he was just 19 when he scored in the World Cup Final in russia. Hes the first teenager since pele to score inafinaland first teenager since pele to score in a final and he has been linked with moves to liverpool and real madrid but he says he owes a lot to current Club Paris St germain. Now is not the moment. January is the money time in the season. Everybody talks about it and it is not good for psg. The club helped me, i came here when i was 18, the club helped me, i came here when iwas18, i the club helped me, i came here when i was 18, i was talented not a superstar. Now i am superstar thanks to paris st germain. I have to stay focused. At the end of the season, we will see, but now i am focused on my game. Shall we wonder how much he would cost if a club came into by him. You would need £300 million. cost if a club came into by him. You would need £300 million. I was going to say £200 million. £800 million £1 billion a lot a Staggering Amount thanks very much, see you later. Lets return to one of the stories weve been talking about this morning. Its been confirmed that a mysterious new virus that has killed four people in china, can be passed from person to person. The number of people infected has tripled to more than 200 cases. The World Health Organization is holding an emergency meeting about the outbreak later this week. Lets find out more from professor david lalloo, who is the director of the Liverpool School of tropical medicine. What can you tell us about this virus . Since the beginning of the year we discovered a group of people with a pneumonia light illness in wuhan in china, and since then we discovered it is caused by a coronavirus and they can sometimes cause things like the common cold but previously they caused sars in 2002 and murs in 2012, and they were serious and sometimes people died. What is the difference between that and the flu . What is the difference between that and the flu . It is essentially a different kind of virus and it can cause similar symptoms, in fact you could easily stake the flu for the symptoms of this new virus. Essentially coronaviruses previously have had more mortality, 35 from sa and 10 from sars that we would normally see in the flue. It is a person to person virus . Initially all these viruses come from animals and the rate was originally centred around a food market in wuhan, but subsequently weve now noted that its been transferred from human to human, particularly to medical personnel, and they are often at highest risk but also from relatives and close contacts. Once you start getting a virus spreading from humans to humans, it becomes much more concerning. Do we know at this stage what animal it might have been . We dont know. We think the sars virus came from bats and the mers virus came from camels, but we dont know anything about this. There a lot unknown about this. How dangerous is it . We have 200 infected at the moment, are there real concerns about it . It is difficult to be sure. The number of deaths would imply at the moment that the severity is less than the two other outbreaks we are worried about, but its very early and it is difficult to be really sure at this point. It is likely that there are many more cases than the 200 we have heard about but that would imply some are less severe. At the moment all indications are it is less severe than previous epidemics, but we cant be sure. In terms of the uk side of things, i would imagine hospitals and clinics are well prepared for the spread of the virus if it came this far . Yes. Generally we have a good level of preparedness for all of these viruses. We have four centres around the country, including at royal liverpool, where we look after these kinds of patents and pag has put out a lot of information to medical personnel and hospitals about being on the lookout for the virus. Public Health England . Yes. Thats the most critical, criticalthing, england . Yes. Thats the most critical, critical thing, for the Health Service to have a high suspicion of this being a possibility of this coming from china. We understand there is a suspected case in australia, so what measures can be put in place to stop it passing from country to country . We know airports take temperatures, does that help . There is a lot of debate about screening but the problem with taking temperatures routinely, people will encounter the virus and they could be infected for several days before they get symptoms. Just getting a temperature is difficult to do practically and is difficult to do practically and is probably not that much use. Much more important is anyone that has beenin more important is anyone that has been in an area where they may have been in an area where they may have been exposed to the virus to contact medical staff rapidly if they get symptoms, and that the Health Systems in the uk are prepared to deal with those individuals and isolate them if necessary. We have been accustomed to having the flu jab in this country, will you look ata jab in this country, will you look at a vaccine . Is it too early . It is far too early and interestingly sars, which is the best example in 2002, flared up, infected 8000 people and then went away. It is far too early to think about the need for a vaccine and also developing vaccines takes a lot of time. Professor david lalloo, thank you for your time. Very interesting. Here is carol with a look at this mornings weather. A mixed picture over the next few days . What is happening out there . It is an good morning, everybody. A real difference in temperatures, the north west highlands, the temperature is 9. 5 but further south, benson in perthshire, the temperature is 5. 3. Frost around this morning and also fog. For the rest of the week, it will remain mostly cloudy and there will be some brightness around and also mostly dry. This morning if you are travelling, the met office has a yellow weather warning for the fog in southern england and wales. Poor visibility could lead to tricky travelling conditions and these are the areas we are looking at. South west england, south wales, parts of the midlands, east anglia and the south east. Allow extra time for your journey and the south east. Allow extra time for yourjourney and and the south east. Allow extra time for your journey and dont forget there is frost around as well, so scrape your car windscreen if you are stepping out. Most of the fog will lift into low cloud. Where it sticks, though, temperatures will be held back so some parts of the south might only get to two or three maximums today, but these are the maximums today, but these are the maximums across the boa rd, and maximums across the board, and for the rest of the uk it will be a cloudy start and a cloudy day. Summer breaks east of Northern Ireland. For example, southern wales when the fog lifts will see sunshine, as will southern coastal counties. To the east of the Peak District and also the grampians are the most likely areas, but for most it will be cloudier than yesterday. Through the evening and overnight, the cloud spills further south, not as cold a night as the one just gone but we will still see splashes of rain and drizzle in the north and west. Temperature wise, threes and fours as opposed to 5 in southern areas, and milder further fours as opposed to 5 in southern areas, and milderfurther north. Nine wouldnt be a bad daytime maximum at this time of year compared to an overnight minimum temperature. As we head through the course of tomorrow, High Pressure thats been covering our weather all week will very much still be with us, and we have more of an atlantic influence coming our way so that will bring in milder and moister conditions through wednesday. That means a lot of cloud and there will be low cloud around, which will be thick enough here and therefore drizzle. Most likely in the north and west but we cant rule it out in other areas and like today, if youre in the shelter of the hills, youre in the shelter of the hills, you have the better chance of seeing brightness but temperatures will be 912. Brightness but temperatures will be 9 12. Through wednesday night into thursday and friday, watch how this area of High Pressure thats been with us this week is squeezed and that allows atlantic fronts to come in, bringing rain, and if you notice the isobars, thats telling you the wind is picking up in the north. For both thursday and friday, fairly cloudy with one or two exceptions in the shelter of the hills and we have the shelter of the hills and we have the rain coming in across the north slowly moving south. Not making much progress into the far south. However, by the weekend, were back into unsettled conditions. It is going to be windier and were looking at sunshine and showers. As we start the new working week, once again the outlook is going to be u nsettled. Carol, we need good news injanuary well, yes, because last week if you think about it, we had storm brendan and all the wild and wet and windy weather. This week, although cloudy it is much more sedate. She has turned it round thank you, carol beales, one of the countrys Oldest Department stores, has gone into administration. If no buyer is found, 30 stores could close across the uk, many of them on high street which have already seen closures. Victoria is looking at this for us today. If it goes, lots of people will really miss this store, wont they . Absolutely, it is a real favourite for people. 23 of these Stores Across the country, from bournemouth across the country, from bournemouth across to perth in scotland, and many of them in places where they have already seen the loss of debenhams, the loss of bhs, maybe an m s close as well. The word at this time is the stores will remain open. However, the reality is someone needs to step up and buy this business, and if they dont, this is the reality. Over 1000 jobs will be at risk. So what has actually gone wrong . Is it the same sort of thing we see in other shops on the high street, high rents and things like that . Exactly, it is the same thing the other stores are complaining about a lot, high business rates, high rents, and also christmas has not been great, and christmas is obviously a key period. As a result, this is what we saw last year. Losses more than doubled to over £3 million. Back in december of last year, they did actually put themselves up for sale and they looked for someone to buy them, but no buyer could be found. For lots of people, they are an institution, these Old Department stores, the likes of beales. So what happens if we risk losing them forever . Bournemouth hq. Beales has stood here for nearly 140 years. Stores like these have been cornerstones of britains high streets for generations. 300 miles north, at another seaside town, shoppers in southport are digesting the news that another big store is under threat. I remember a time when it was buzzing, you know, and there wasnt so much internet shopping. It was more so you needed something, you had to go out and get it. Every time we drive down lord street on the park and ride bus, its like another shop has gone. On lord street, its really sad, because theres so many different shops that have gone. Debenhams has gone down that end, and we dont know what is going to be happening with beales. So itsjust really sad. We dont want to be Walking Around in the cold. We would ratherjust order it online, but then obviously theyre not making money. Yes, i think theyre shutting because students like us, we never have time to come out, because on a rare day like this, you dont really want to go shopping. Southport lost its debenhams here just on sunday, and back in 2016 it lost its bhs as well. Big stores like these, they act as magnets for a town, and when they go, there are less reason for shoppers to just nip into town and pick up a few things. And, as a result, other businesses can suffer. Across the road is susanna. She runs a cafe and bar that does well from passing trade. We have been here for about five years, but the cafe itself has been here 130 years. So people have been having cups of tea here for 130 years . 130 years. Wow, amazing. Its notjust about southport. Since 2008, its globally, and i think nationally we have to have some sort of policy about what we do nationally about the high street. But the problem is people arejust not shopping as much. We had that data out the other day from the british retail consortium, the first fall in retail sales for over a quarter of a century. Can you really go up against economics like that . No, and for those of us working in retail, weve got to work out whether thats a short term trend thats about caution around brexit, which makes an economic difference in this country, or whether people are spending less. But, for some, it is too late. It is a familiar story across the country. The community here is optimistic, and the council are looking at options to fill the empty spaces. But the question is whether any business can step up and fill the gaps appearing on this heritage high street. So the council is still trying to feel that bhs, more than three years on, and at two ends of the high street, you have debenhams going on sunday, the future of beales determined on the monday. Councils dont really care about helping the big street chains. The boss of beales says he has only been offered help with one. I suppose that leads to the question should councils be helping businesses like beales . Yes, at the expense of the smaller businesses which are also struggling. The argument for helping them is that these big stores act as anchors. People do a bit of shopping and they might go and buy other things. If they go out of business, it isa things. If they go out of business, it is a real problem. And there is a real issue that when they do go, what are you going to do with them . What are you going to fill them with . It is really tricky because they are such massive spaces, and they are such massive spaces, and they are such massive spaces, and they are very expensive to run. So they are very expensive to run. So the bhs that is in Oxford Street, that has now been turned into a food hall. Down in london there is talk of the debenhams in southport being turned into a hotel, may be residential. We do know that there isa residential. We do know that there is a lot of affection for this town, and people really do want it to work. People want to come and spend money here. And the council does have some money to invest. They have £25 million to turn things around. But it is tricky, what do you do . And how do you keep going in the meantime . All very good questions. Familiarfrom meantime . All very good questions. Familiar from many high streets up and down the uk, isnt it, this morning. When vernon krugers friends convinced him to go for a unique world record, he thought it would be a barrel of laughs. After setting one record for time spent in a barrel, vernon has done it again, and after 68 days of poor sleep, back complaints, and inclement weather, vernonjoins us now. Very good morning to you. You are in the barrel. Just describe the scene. Because it is quite high up, isnt it . Yes, it is eight stories high, which is roughly 26 metres above the ground. Yes, this is where i am. And vernon, you make me feel a bit dizzy just looking at it, to be honest with you. But just just looking at it, to be honest with you. Butjust tell us, why would you do this . Well, i dont really know why any more. I am starting to question myself, as well. I knew the previous time why i did it. It was a dare. And yes, that was 22 years ago. And in 22 years, nobodys managed to beat my record. Theres been quite a few attempts. A similar attempt was made by david blaine, from america, the magician, and they have all failed. So i was approached to see whether i would raise the bar a bit. At first i was apprehensive, and i said no, and then later i thought, well, hopefully something good will come of it. You have beaten your own record. How long are you going to stay . Yes, that is a big question. I havent really decided. I think roughly ill stay another week, maybe up to two weeks. Illjust see how i feel as the days go on. But i have had enough. Tell us about the practicalities of living in a barrel. Well, its very cramped, as you can see. Thats the size. I dont know if you can see properly. It is not much space. Sleeping is a big problem. Its been the biggest challenge to curl up in a fettle position, wake up with cramps. Apart from that, it hasnt been too bad foetal position. I get food sent up from different restaurants in the village, a small fishing village, and yes, everything comes up by bucket and rope. Quite a strict routine at the moment, well, right through the event, so it has helped to be ina through the event, so it has helped to be in a routine. Time seems to go faster. And not to be too sort of insensitive, given it is breakfast, presumably things have to go down via the bucket as well, have they . have a pipe going down the side of the bowl, and all the washing water and wastewater and always goes down there into a septic tank below. So i have my own sanitary. What can you say . My bathroom. And just tell us, they must have been moments, you said you have had enough, where you worried about yourself. Tell us about the wind, the rain, the lightning. Yes, actually, it is not the best time of year to have done this, because this is the time ofa done this, because this is the time of a lot of storms and lightning, especially in this area that i am in. Yes, lightning has been the biggest, scariest factor, i would say. I have had a few lightning strikes close by, and that has been a bit scary. Otherwise, its been raining quitea a bit scary. Otherwise, its been raining quite a bit. Thats also not too good, because i am stuck in the barrel with the roof on, and i cant really stretch. Yes, that gets a bit depressing. What is the first thing you are going to do when you get down from the barrel . Thats easy. I am going to have a great big hot bath and a good sleep in a very large bed. Vernon, you have seriously held onto your sense of humour. Thank you very much indeed for joining humour. Thank you very much indeed forjoining us live their from a barrel, with a wonderful view. I dont know really what to say, but well done, vernon. Get down. Go and have a rest. Take care. Can you believe that started as a dare . And he has broken his own record. 68 days. Thank you for asking that question. I was desperate for you to ask that question. I was going to ask that question. I was going to ask it in a more subtle way than you might have done. He was very good, wasnt he . Coming up on breakfast we are going to be looking at spy in the wild, the Nature Programme that gets closer to its subjects than most. This is a jaguar cab who is currently in our studio. And the baby gorilla is going to be here a little bit later, but they are absolutely fantastic. My children are currently mesmerised by this programme. It is fascinating, and i think you do get an incredible level of access, dont you . And the way they sort of interact with each other. Look at that. We will be interviewing the jaguar a little bit later. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london. A new report has found children are being held in harmful, solitary conditions at Feltham Young Offenders Institute in west london. It was one of five places highlighted by the chief inspector of prisons for multiple and widespread failings. One inmate at feltham was left on a filthy mattress on the floor of a cell for more than 22 hours. The government has said it will be making immediate changes. Separating children should never be used as a punishment, and the Prison Service acknowledged that themselves. But most importantly is the fact that they should be held in conditions which can help these children turn their lives around. And thats not happening if in effect theyre being punished, and if the conditions in which theyre held actually amounts to what is internationally recognised as a solitary confinement. Police are investigating a suspected hit and run in wimbledon park. Officers were called to durnsford road at around 5 40am. A man was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say no vehicle stopped, and are appealing for witnesses. People living in parts of Central London are calling for speed restrictions on the night tube after a trial found it helped to reduce noise. Speeds on the hammersmith city and metropolitan lines were 50 slower during testing. Residents living in barbican say there has been a significant improvement. Tfl says it plans to continue work to upgrade the track in area. Lets take a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tubes this morning. But southwark tube station is closed because of a burst watermain. Thats also affecting blackfriars road which is closed between southwark street and the cut, as you can see there. In west london, kew road is partially blocked at richmond circus for emergency repairs. In wimbledon park, durnsford road closed between plough lane and penwith road. That is after that suspected hit and run. Several side roads have also been closed off by the police. Weather now, with kate kinsella. Good morning. Its another chilly start this morning. Away from Central London, temperatures below zero, so a little bit of frost there. Some patchy mist and fog as well, and with the temperature where it is, we could see some freezing fog patches. Theres some tricky driving conditions. Further south, more in the way of brightness. The fog lifting gradually today, largely into cloud. Theres more of that around than yesterday, some brighter spells, though. Temperatures between 4 5 celsius, so feeling quite cold. Now, overnight, extensive amount of cloud. Some mist and fog developing, especially over higher ground, but its not going to be quite as cold. The minimum temperature above zero, between 1 4 celsius. So another grey start to wednesday morning, the cloud thick enough overnight and through tomorrow to produce a spot of drizzle. Nothing too much in the way of rain, though, but very limited brightness. That cloud staying with us for the next few days, through thursday and through friday. Its not until the weekend where the temperature starts to pick up a little, the breeze starts to pick up, and it turns more unsettled. Im back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. Bye for now. Welcome to breakfast with Louise Minchin and dan walker. The headlines. Tougher terror laws after the London Bridge attack last year, including longerjail sentences and lie detector tests before prisoners are released. Prince harry arrives in canada this morning 36 hours after saying he had no choice but to step back from royal life. Us military personnel and their families will be given Driver Training at the air base had to wear teenager harry dunn was killed. We will speak to his mum. The uks Oldest Department store chain, beales, has fallen into administration. I will find out what it might mean. Jo konta is out of the Australian Open in the first round, kyle edmund is on his way home too. They did not win a set between them. Most, fog and frost around this morning. That will left but for many others it will be a cloudy day with some bright spells but rain in the north west. More from me later in the programme. Its tuesday the 21st of january. Plans to increase minimum sentences for people convicted of the most serious terrorism offences have been unveiled by the government. Ministers also want to end the automatic Early Release of such inmates. The announcement comes in the wake of the London Bridge attack in november, in which usman khan killed two people while out of prison on licence. Heres our home Affairs Correspondent daniel sandford. The fishmongers hall attacker usman khan had come out of prison one year before the attack. Hed been serving 16 years for preparing terrorist acts, but had been released automatically halfway through that sentence. Visiting the metropolitan polices Specialist Training facility, home secretary priti patel has announced a further increase in funding for counterterrorism policing of £90 million, but she also promised that by mid march, therell be a new counterterrorism bill before parliament, ending the automatic Early Release of terrorist prisoners and raising the minimum sentence available tojudges. We will ensure that we increase sentences to 14 years for the offenders who are involved in planning terrorist offences but also involved in training for terrorist offences as well, and with that we are absolutely clear that we are going to be reviewing licensing conditions so that people do not have Early Release. Ministers say theyll introduce lie detector tests for people recently released and prison for terrorist offences, and theyll double the number of probation officers specialising in counterterrorism. Therell also be more psychologists and imams involved in deradicalising prisoners. Once somebody has been radicalised, no one is saying that theres a 100 guarantee that someone can be deradicalised, but if there is a chance, we ought to be funding that and committing to it. Counterterrorism police say their work has gone up by a third in three years, and insist the best way to turn the tide is to divert people away from extremism in the first place. Daniel sandford, bbc news. Earlier on breakfast the justice secretary Robert Buckland defended plans to make terrorists take lie detector tests as part of their monitoring after release. Lie detectors have already been introduced in assessing the risk posed to the public by sex offenders. They came in about seven yea rs offenders. They came in about seven years ago. They are not part of the criminal investigation process all the evidence that one mightier in court, it is all about the authority is assessing the risk posed to the public by offenders. They are used in sexual offences. In the Domestic Abuse proposals that we produced, polygraph testing will be introduced. This is not a new concept, it is a sensible measure to maximise our understanding of the risks that some of these prisoners pose to society. Prince harry has touched down in canada in the last few hours to rejoin his wife and son. The duke of sussex flew from the uk last night after announcing he had no choice but to step back from his royal duties. Lets speak to our north american correspondent sophie long, whos on Vancouver Island. I suppose from here the new begins . Yes, we think that harry has now been reunited with his wife meghan and their young son archie and one can only imagine it might have been a rather emotional reunion. The couple have been separated for thousands of miles and an eight hour time difference and what can only be described as an extremely turbulent time for the royal couple and the wider royalfamily. Time for the royal couple and the wider royal family. Harry would have boarded the flight in london with a heavy heart, he has talked very candidly about his Great Sadness at taking such a major step back, he said he wanted to continue to serve the queen, the commonwealth and his military associations, but following negotiations with the queen and senior members of the royal family it was not possible. He will have come here with Great Sadness but one would imagine it would have been coupled with excitement at seeing his wife meghan and their young son archie. It is hoped, help expressed by the queen and by harry, that they can move through the transition to a more peaceful life in canada. Sophie long, thank you very much. China has confirmed that the new respiratory virus spreading across the country can be transmitted from person to person. Four people have died so far from the coronavirus, with 200 infected. The World Health Organization says it will hold an emergency meeting on the outbreak, which causes breathing problems, later this week. There has also been one case in australia. Donald trump will today become only the third american president to go on trial in the us senate, charged with high crimes and misdemeanours. He has been accused by the house of representatives of abusing his powers, by pressing ukraine to investigate his rivaljoe biden. A two thirds majority is needed to convict mr trump and remove him from office. The swedish teenager and climate activist Greta Thunberg is addressing the summit of business and World Leaders in the swiss ski resort of davos. The meeting is focused on Climate Change. Greta thunberg has told an event that despite the worldwide attention, nothing has been. The climate and environment is a hot topic right now, and a lot thanks to young people pushing, but if you see it from another perspective, pretty much nothing has been done since the global emissions of co2 has not reduced. That is, of course, what we are trying to achieve, among other things. The wreckage of the titanic will be protected from potentially damaging expeditions thanks to a momentous new agreement between the us and the uk. Almost 35 years since the liner was discovered, an agreement has been drawn up to block efforts to explore its remains. The deal will grant or deny licences to enter sections of the ships sunken hull. Titanic has been underwater for more than a century. Those are some of the main stories this morning. We will return to something we have been talking about for quite a long time on breakfast. In the aftermath of the death of harry dunn, the chief constable of northamptonshire has said that us Service Personnel and their families will be given uk Driver Training when they arrive at an raf base in the county. 19 year old harry died when he was hit by a car which was being driven by the wife of a us diplomat, who was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road. His family had told bbc breakfast they have received 15 examples of similar incidents involving us personnel in the uk, dating back over 50 yea rs. Personnel in the uk, dating back over 50 years. They have spoken to graham satchell. It is the first time harry dunns stepdad bruce has seen this footage. A car with american supermarket plates driving on the wrong side of the road near the raf base. Plates driving on the wrong side of the road near the raf basem plates driving on the wrong side of the road near the raf base. It is shocking, it just highlights the road near the raf base. It is shocking, itjust highlights another issue around the bases that this is happening all the time. One harry dunn died in august last year after being hit by a car driving on the wrong side of the road, bruce and the rest of the family thought it was a wrong. Explain what we have here . This is a list of incidents that have happened around us air force bases in the uk over the last 40 yea rs. Force bases in the uk over the last 40 years. Now they have been contacted 40 years. Now they have been co nta cted by 40 years. Now they have been contacted by other families from across the country where this has happened before. Bruce has evidence of 15 separate incidents involving death or serious injury. of 15 separate incidents involving death or serious injury. Ijust think it is shocking that this has been happening for so many years. This goes way back and we have recently this goes way back and we have rece ntly ha d this goes way back and we have recently had another one dating back to 1969 that has come up, in every single one of these cases there has been a serviceman driving on the wrong side of the road, it is definitely a pattern. This crashes from 2013, a 75 year old man was killed outside raf mildenhall in southwark. An American Service woman was banned from driving for a year. This newspaper cuttings from 1982, a us serviceman walked free from court after killing two teenagers on the pavement, again in suffolk. Are you worried it could happen again . Absolutely. Everyone in the community is. This is what we need to make sure doesnt happen. We have spoken to loads of people around the area and they are quite scared, some will not drive down that road because they fear it will happen to them. Nice to meet you, come in. Bruce is meeting just one of the people to get in touch with the family. His best friend seth was killed in 1984 aged just 16. He decided to take a ride off, that was the last time we saw him. In a chilling echo of what happened to harry, seth was riding his motorbike next to an raf base when he was hit head on by an American Serviceman. It was a big shock, it had a big effect on a lot of people. He was well liked. The tight little group that we had, it was djokovic yeah, its messed us up for a little while, i think. More its messed us up for a little while, ithink. More than its messed us up for a little while, i think. More than 30 years later, the pain of losing a best friend is still raw. In a sign of how serious this has become, the chief constable of Northamptonshire Police has announced its forcible pay for staff at the raf base to get Driver Training. Harrys family will see that as welcome progress. Much less welcome, the words of Prime Minister borisjohnson less welcome, the words of Prime Minister Boris Johnson in less welcome, the words of Prime Minister borisjohnson in his interview with this programme last week. We followed the story of harry dunn on breakfast and the fight for justice, the extradition request for Anne Sacoolas has been made to the us. Will she face justice . Anne Sacoolas has been made to the us. Will she face justice . I think it is right that we have made the appeal, i have to be absolutely clear with you, i think the chances of america actually responding by sending Anne Sacoolas to this country are very low, that is not what they do. But we will continue to make every effort we can. It has been a long fight for us to get to the stage, and for him to say that, it is like he is not really backing us. The dunn family are determined to continue their fight, to us. The dunn family are determined to continue theirfight, to improve safety runs airbases and to get justice for their son. Lets talk now to harrys mum, charlotte charles. Shes in west london. Shejoins us live. Thank she joins us live. Thank you so much for spending time with us today. Can i talk to you about some of the things we have heard there . How do you feel when people have begun to share details of those accidents going back so many years . Quite privileged, to be perfectly honest. We had many people contact us about incidences that they were aware of. We didnt expect anyone really to come forward with their own personal experiences. They were very touching stories and majors feel more compelled to work our hardest to make sure it stopped happening. Made us feel more compelled. You are still fighting for justice for your son, ifany still fighting for justice for your son, if any of those incidents were acted on and those road Safety Measures were put in place, it might have been that harry was still alive . I cant believe this hasnt been challenged before. We cannot allow this to continue without Safety Measures being put in place. It is wonderful that Northamptonshire Police have said they will provide Driver Training for the americans that come over, thatis for the americans that come over, that is a great step in the right direction, a small step at a positive step. Our roads are very, very different in england compared to anywhere in the us. We have many hazards in our roads, lots of hairpin bends, lots of roads that are probably only wide enough for one car, certainly around the area that we live, so Driver Training is particularly important, along with other things we are working on. Can you talus about some of the other things you are campaigning for . We are trying very hard to get simple things like stickers put into cars, we have family in new zealand and they get into their car and they have stickers on their dashboards up above their interior mirror, down by the gear levers, reminding them on what side of the road they must drive. They are very simple, visual aspects but i think they could become really important, and to have that visual reminder, i think, is something we are very keen on. Your husband bruce was telling us he has heard first hand evidence of people who are now too worried and scared to drive on that roads were harry sadly died last year. Have you heard that too . Absolutely, we have no end of people who are saying theyre avoiding that road. They are taking other routes, even if it is taking them longer, they are avoiding that roads because they are just terrified, quite honestly, about the same thing happening to them or theirfamilies. We same thing happening to them or their families. We had same thing happening to them or theirfamilies. We had some family members that dont allow their children or loved ones to drive down there any more, we have people coming up to us that we have maybe never met before, telling us the same. It is not right, we should not live in a community where we are scared of driving on our own roads and we will duel that we can for however long it takes to try to get that rectified. Charlotte, it was exactly a week ago that we spoke to the Prime Minister on this programme and around about that time we asked him about the extradition request about Anne Sacoolas. We spoke to your legal representative the day after that about how that felt for you, i believe that was your birthday, what it felt like to you asafamily birthday, what it felt like to you as a family to hear from the Prime Minister saying it was highly unlikely she would come back. Unsupported. We have been down this path so many times, we have worked our way through it with various people in government, we did not expect to hear that from Boris Johnson, to be honest. The fact that he said it is something the us just do not do, it is completely incorrect, we have checked with the fco, the us has never turned down an extradition request from the uk. So the complete opposite of what Boris Johnson said. That was quite disappointing to hear and extremely upsetting to hear our own Prime Minister state something that we have, like i said, double checked, it is not true. Has hearing that at some of the frustrations you have felt along the way reallyjust steals your resolve to make sure you continue this fight . Every hurdle that we are put up against, so far we are doing our absolute best and we are doing our absolute best and we have done a pretty good job so far of getting over those hurdles. It doesnt matter how many more are put ina it doesnt matter how many more are put in a way, whether by Boris Johnsons comments or otherwise, we will not stop to try to make sure this lady is brought to justice and many, this lady is brought to justice and any this lady is brought to justice and many, many changes upwards in place to make sure this does not happen again. If we have to make it our lives work, we will. Is Anne Sacoolas coming back . Yes, she has, at some point. We cant say when that we are adamant she will be, whether it is in this Us Administration or the next one, but we will not stop untiljustice has prevailed and changes are made to make sure this does not happen to another family. It has to stop. Charlotte, always good to talk to you, thank you very much for talking to us. Charlotte charles, the mother of harry dunn, whose story we have been covering a lot. He was killed last year. We will continue to do so, as well. Carol is talking about variable weather, is that a description . It isa it is a very good description, louise, thank you. You can see this picture from suffolk shows mist and fast. Into norfolk we have proper fog, and today we are looking at some dense fog patches for a wee while yet. It is looking rather cloudy for the rest of the week. There will be brightness rented times, mostly dry but also some rain forecast. Back to the file, the met office has a yellow weather warning valid until 11am across southern england and wales. Back to that fog. It is patchy fog across parts of south west england, south wales, the midlands, east anglia and the south east. We have put the major motorways on but it will also affect the minor routes. If you are in an area hanging on to the fog, your temperature will not get much higher than about two or three degrees. Quite a lot of cloud across the board, we are looking at rain across the north and west of scotland. Some brighter breaks to the east of the grampians, the east of the pennines, some parts of the south coast in south wales and the east of Northern Ireland are favoured for brightness, but the emphasis is on more cloud than yesterday. Temperatures only six in london but 11 or 12 towards the north of scotland. This evening and overnight, the cloud romps steadily southward so it will not be as cold in the south is last night, we will have some splashes of rain, particularly across the north and west. Temperatures of three and four in the south, seven to nine in the north. Moving through wednesday the High Pressure has dominated our weather this week is still with us, drifting towards the west into the atlantic. We are pulling in more atla ntic atlantic. We are pulling in more atlantic air to something milder and moister. Clergy on wednesday, similar cloud commerce fog, drizzle almost everywhere, some patchy rain in the north and west. Temperatures are up on where we expected them to be today, most others see double figures. Through wednesday night into thursday and friday, watch how this High Pressure is squeezed, allowing the progress of atlantic front across the north. From the ice about you can see the wind will pick up. In graphical form, about you can see the wind will pick up. In graphicalform, that means that on both thursday and friday there will be lots more cloud around. That will be thick enough for drizzle, there will be brighter brea ks for drizzle, there will be brighter breaks at times if you are in the shelter of any hills, but we have a weather front coming down from the north of scotland, slowly moving south across the northern half of the country, bringing some rain. The weekend looks unsettled. Windier, with sunshine and showers, and the u nsettled with sunshine and showers, and the unsettled theme continues until at least the first part of next week. Studio thank you, carol. A fathers hand built custom controller for his disabled daughter, so she could play her favourite video games, has now been seen more than a million times on twitter. Rory steels diy project has even attracted the attention of xbox boss phil spencer, who called it incredible. We can talk to rory now, whos at home injersey with his daughter ava and her brother corban. And i think his wife claire is there as well. Thank you all for speaking tours. Rory, we can see the console, what did ava want . She was playing minecraft and some other games like roblox, but when she saw the more complex games in the switch, she wa nted complex games in the switch, she wanted to take part. And she couldnt . Yes, ava and her brother suffer from the motor neurone issue which means her fine suffer from the motor neurone issue which means herfine the fine thinker work is very difficult for them, so the controllers you would normally get on the big consuls are out of her reach. So we have managed to say rather than using a little sun to control the action she can use her whole hand, the little buttons are much more accessible, bigger and more helpful. M buttons are much more accessible, bigger and more helpful. It looks like a wonderful piece of machinery. How much difference has to her . M has given her access to game she simply otherwise would not have been able to do. She is a big fan of youtuber called dan tdm, who plays lots of mario games. We had to do research but we made it happen. Most people would not even know how to start, so you obviously had some good technical ability is to start with . I used to work at Digital Jersey so i have a handle on these things. Although it looks quite complicated it is lots of wires, gaining an ending, it was more patience than anything else. I will definitely do a video, people across the water have had a lot of interest, people with cerebral palsy, with similar symptoms. I want to make it accessible to the world. Iand to make it accessible to the world. I and not sure that ava can hear me, can you ask if she likes it . Do you like it . She is over the moon, to be able to play the games that her dad can, ithink able to play the games that her dad can, i think has made a difference. Is she good at the games . It looks like she is. She is getting there, she is climbing up a tower in zelda, that was one of my favourite games, so to see my daughter is heart warming. She has only died a couple of times. You have had lots of people watching this and interest from the big companies, should they be doing more to help people like your daughter . The microsoft accessibility controller cant be that profitable, there are not that many people, but it is great that they do it. They have opened it out to the other consoles, which is rare. Iam to the other consoles, which is rare. I am grateful, to the other consoles, which is rare. Iam grateful, it to the other consoles, which is rare. I am grateful, it help me, i would not have been able to do it without it. When we went on twitter, the adapter controller inventor gave me some guiding words, as well as a going viral with the head of xbox, lots of people have been very keen andi lots of people have been very keen and i was told i would get some better parts for it. What does corban want . Sneakily enough, it was his idea. It is avas switch, so she got first his idea. It is avas switch, so she gotfirst dibs, his idea. It is avas switch, so she got first dibs, as soon as she was finished he was all over it, he is playing this as much as his sister. Thank you very much indeed, please thank ava on our behalf. Lovely to see you all, i know how addictive those games can be. She is clearly enjoying it. She is hooked already. Take care. What a gifted individual. What a great dad. We all have problems in life, having the ability to self and with that technical brilliance and benches see the reaction from his kids, great stuff. We will meet the man known as. Speedo make. He has a bandage on. He is on his way to us. He is walking from john ogroats to lands is on his way to us. He is walking from john ogroats to lands end and a parent swimming trunks and his backpack, his shoes and his bandage andi backpack, his shoes and his bandage and i think he is wearing his everton scarf. He is coming along the quayside for us this morning. He will be in here for a little cup of tea and a rest as he continues his journey. We will warm you up, it is only three degrees out there this morning he has his scotland fly, he has been travelling from scotland, he is with us this morning and is on the way down south, 500 miles to go. Good morning. Our weather is turning milder but the change is coming with plenty of cloud around. That cloud already into scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern england, and close to this weather front notjust cloud but some outbreaks of rain. But closer to High Pressure across much of england and wales, another frosty start to the day. Some fog patches dense in places, particularly into southern england. Some of that may well be slow to clear. For much of england and wales therell be some sunny spells, more cloud compared with yesterday. A lot of cloud in north west england, through Northern Ireland and scotland, and close to that weather front in scotland, especially in the west, you will see a bit of rain at times. Double figure temperatures here, though. Generally around five to 8 degrees in england and wales. And into tonight, well, a lot of cloud again, maybe producing some drizzle in places. Misty and murky, particularly on the hills. Some outbreaks of rain, more especially in northern scotland. More widespread milder weather overnight tonight, but still, where youve got some clear skies, southernmost parts of england into the channel islands, a touch of frost could be yours. But heres an indication that we are getting milder air reaching in across the uk but, as i said earlier, there is a lot of cloud coming with that. So this is how your wednesday is shaping up. You will see a few sunny spells. Eastern parts of scotland, maybe the east of Northern Ireland, to the east of high ground in england and wales, but basically expect a good deal of cloud around. A breezy day in northern scotland tomorrow and again you could see some outbreaks of rain here. It is turning milder across the uk, so more of us will be into double figures, and then for thursday, pretty much doing it again. A lot of cloud around. Some outbreaks of rain with another weather front pushing in towards northern, especially north west scotland. Maybe temperatures a degree or so lower.
