fl that s. That f; and s. That 7and sunny s. That and sunny sunday. But. It lovely and sunny sunday. But. It stays cold into the beginning of next week, then we will see some changes. Stay with me for the full forecast later. Good morning. First, our main story. Theresa may will abandon plans for mps to get a vote on fox hunting before 2022 when the next general election is due to be held. In an interview on the Bbcs Andrew Marr show, she confirmed she would be going back on the pledge she made in last years manifesto. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports. It has been illegal to set a pack of hounds on a fox for more than a decade in england and wales. Instead, hunts have had to follow specially laid trails of sand. Many conservatives in the campaigners would like the hunting act is to be scrapped to allow horses and hounds to go back to the way things were. But having lost the tories their parliamentary majority in last yea rs parliamentary majority in last years general election, theresa mays plans to give mps a vote on theissue mays plans to give mps a vote on the issue were pushed back to 2019. Now, in an attempt to prove her pa rtys fortu nes now, in an attempt to prove her pa rtys fortunes and now, in an attempt to prove her partys fortunes and show showers this to the electorate, the Prime Minister has gone one step further. 0ne minister has gone one step further. One of the clear messages we got on a number of areas was when people are concerned about what we were proposing. Just as we have looked at issues on School Funding and tuition fees and housing, we are taking forward approaches in relation to that. On this issue of foxhunting, what i can say is that there will not be a vote during this parliament. For now, then, there is little chance the law on foxhunting will be changing any time soon. And you can see the whole interview with the Prime Minister on the Andrew Marr Show this morning at 9 oclock on bbc one. There will also be big changes ahead in the Prime Ministers cabinet from tomorrow morning as theresa may begins her reshuffle. Theres speculation in the papers this morning as to who will be moved or sacked. 0ur Political Correspondent Susana Mendonca is in our london newsroom this morning. What could we expect to happen over the coming days . Suggestions in the sunday telegraph thatJustine Greening suggestions in the sunday telegraph that Justine Greening is suggestions in the sunday telegraph thatJustine Greening is fighting for herjob. Also on the front page of the sunday times, they dont have quite as much on it, it is inside the paper this morning. 0n the front page they talk again, a bit of speculation, jeremy hunt and Chris Grayling linked to replacing damien green, among the possibilities being discussed. Susanna is in the london newsroom. Can you tell us more about that reshuffle speculation . Well, it is exactly that speculation, and downing street have said that it is purely speculation at this stage. What we can expect is that tomorrow will have some of the cabinet positions reshuffled and then on tuesday some of the more junior positions. You mentioned Justine Greening. Her name has been in the mix as being moved elsewhere. Some of the rumour mill suggests that she might the moved into the role currently held by andrea leadsom. All of this, of course, is happening partly because theresa may had a torrid time over the last couple of months where we saw two ministers actually standing down. Another minister, damian green, was forced to resign over issues around his conduct. So she is in a position where she does need to have something of a reshuffle. The understand there is lots of pressure oii understand there is lots of pressure on herto understand there is lots of pressure on her to bring up new names, people who are perhaps rising stars of the party. Who are perhaps rising stars of the party. We who are perhaps rising stars of the party. We understand. The danger for theresa may, as always with reshuffles, is that you end up creating enemies, especially if you put somebody on the back and she doesnt want to be them, or you put them ona doesnt want to be them, or you put them on a roll that they dont want, that could be difficult for her. She only has a working majority of 12. We saw her lose a vote before christmas because she had rebels within her own party. She cannot afford any more rebels. It is a difficult one for her to tread. Susannah carr must rank you. Some of the uks largest retailers have voluntarily agreed to stop selling acids and corrosive substances to customers under 18 years old. Ministers hope the measure will help stop the rise in attacks until new laws are considered by parliament. Heres our home affairs correspondent, dominic casciani. The human cost of an acid attack. Where is it hurting, mate, your eyes . Police officers pour water over the victim lastjuly. Thieves wa nted over the victim lastjuly. Thieves wanted the london delivery drivers mopeds. His helmet saved him from serious injury. Police recorded more than 500 attacks involving corrosive su bsta nces than 500 attacks involving corrosive substances in england and wales in the year to last april. 0fficials think the true figure could be twice as high. Ministers have launched an acid action plan to cut attacks. Today the first part of that plan, and voluntary ban by diy chains, including b q, on selling harmful chemicals to under 185. Including b q, on selling harmful chemicals to under 18s. Waitrose and the co op are also involved. Agreeing to challenge underage customers, just like they would if they were buying alcohol. Acid attacks are most horrific crimes, and what we want to do is make sure that we restrict access, supported victims, police these attacks really affect to believe. It isntjust major retailers who are signing up to secure their shelves. The association representing hardware shop is urging them to play their pa rt shop is urging them to play their part as well. This one in london says the move is long overdue. Definitely a good idea. We have a lwa ys definitely a good idea. We have always checked ide for acid. Same thing, if you go to a supermarket and you go to buy alcohol, you are asked friday. It should either same thing here. You are asked for id. This measure may be a stopgap. Ministers want a full ban on sales to under 18s, and have asked parliament to create a new crime for carrying acid without a good reason. A growing number of men are being targetted by stalkers, according to new research by five live investigates. Crime figures suggest around 450,000 men in england and wales experience stalking over the course of a year.

Germanys christian democrats, led by the chancellor, angela merkel, will begin five days of exploratory talks today on forming a Coalition Government with the social democrats.

President macron of france is due to lay wreaths at the offices in paris of the satirical magazine, charlie hebdo, to remember the victims of an islamist attack there three years ago today. 12 people, including several cartoonists, died when two gunmen burst into an editorial meeting.

Nasas longest serving astronaut, john young, has died at the age of 87. He was one ofjust 12 men who have walked on the moon, and he flew the first Space Shuttle mission. Former commander of the International Space station, chris hadfield, has described him as an inspiration. John was a fascinating, devoted and passionate and really fearless man. Just a role model to so many astronauts, including the six people who are up on the space station right now. A life really well lived and a good friend of mine. Plans to create a new northern forest stretching from liverpool to hull have been announced by the government. Its providing £5. 7 million to increase tree cover along a belt spanning manchester, leeds and bradford. The Woodland Trust is running the project, which will cost £500 Million Pounds over 25 years. Most of that money will need to be raised by the charity itself. 0ur correspondent Roger Harrabin has more. The bare hills of the north. 0ne the bare hills of the north. One of the most denuded parts of a country which itself has less woodland than almost anywhere in europe. The land stripped of centuries for timber and farming, scarred by industry, overg razed by farming, scarred by industry, overgrazed by sheep farming. At snowballs near manchester, things will be different. Smithils. Planting has begun for what will be known as the northern forest. We think the northern forest will be a pathfinder for extending forest and woodland right across country. We think trees and woods can add value in many different landscapes. We just want to do it here first and do it big. It isnt really a forest. The project will create new woods near towns and plant River Valleys liable to flooding. But money is tight, and many of these hills will look just as bleak and 35 years. Whats more, the Woodland Trust expects some of their cash to come from environmentalfunds expects some of their cash to come from environmental funds linked to the hs two rail line. Hs2. From environmental funds linked to the hs two rail line. H52. The supreme the hs two rail line. H52. The supreme irony is that the government is giving with one hand and taking it with the other, and im referring to the root of h52, the root of hsz. Why cant the government did with both hands and stop threatening asian forest . Year is what some ambitious planting can do. This is the National Forest in the midlands. Begunin the National Forest in the midlands. Begun in the 1990s, now to lighting local people. What a good idea. Yes, now, if you are doing dry january, what a good idea. Yes, now, if you are doing dryjanuary, this is a few months down the line so it will be all right. Pub Opening Hours could be extended for the wedding of Meghan Markle and prince harry.

If you think its chilly where you are this morning, spare a thought for people in parts of the us and canada who are currently experiencing temperatures as low as minus 29 degrees celsius. Its really affected the way people live there. Lets speak to peter franklin, a cab driver in new york. Peter, good morning. Thank you to talking to us on the bbc. Good morning. Just how cold is it there . Send me a sweater, im freezing it is the middle of the 90, im unbelievably cold. When you walk outside in new york city right now your eyes are cheering up. It is the worst cold that i can really remember. New york is a very residual kind of place where people work with this kind of problem and all that, but baby, its cold outside could be a song in there, peter. You obviously have the heating on where you are, you look reasonably warm. Just in terms of the way people are going about their everyday lives, how was it affect him things . Well, people who are working on a salary, in other words they are getting paid by the week or they are getting paid by the week or the month or the year, they dont have to worry about it. If they cant get to work they can sit home and count their money. People who are and count their money. People who a re really and count their money. People who are really getting hurt in new york city are the hourly workers, such as a cab driver, for instance. It is if you dont work, you dont make any money. So the weather is a serious thing. Ian cold is a serious thing. But what is really the serious thing about the whole thing is the economic hurt. We have a lot of situations where restaurants are not even bothering to open up. Other restau ra nts even bothering to open up. Other restaurants are giving what they are calling toll discounts, in other words, hey, if you come to our restau ra nt words, hey, if you come to our restaurant tonight we will charge of 1596 restaurant tonight we will charge of 15 less. So it all comes down to money. After all, the most important thing in new york city, the most important colour in new york city is green. There is a lot of talk in this country about energy prices, how much it costs to heat your home. Imean, is how much it costs to heat your home. I mean, is that a concern for new yorkers . Jim blair right now you need to crank up the central heating wherever you live . No question about it. Remember, most people in new york are living in apartments, which means you are at the mercy of a landlord. And there are some landlords who not in a hurry to fix their furnaces landlords who not in a hurry to fix theirfurnaces in a landlords who not in a hurry to fix their furnaces in a week like this, because every day that goes by the furnaces not working, they are saving fuel money. Now, thats not all the landlords, but there are a lot stop at last count there were Something Like 15,000 or 30,000 people without any heat. I think that was a low estimation. 0n the other hand, if you live in a house you are other hand, if you live in a house you a re really other hand, if you live in a house you are really getting hurt because then you are paying for the fuel by then you are paying for the fuel by the gallon. And for you, what does today hold . The gallon. And for you, what does today hold . Will you the gallon. And for you, what does today hold . Will you be getting out today hold . Will you be getting out to work today . Im broke really yeah. No, i mean, the fact of the matter is, people think when it is cold or rainy that is great for driving a cab. The opposite is true. When it is cold and rainy and especially when it is as cold as it is, people dont feel like going out. They stay at home. Yesterday i didnt drive and im not going to drive today because it is not worth the effort. So im getting a bit of a vacation. Im losing money on it, but i tell you, Mother Nature is the boss. But shows whats going on. But i tell you, Mother Nature is the boss. But shows whats going onlj think the forecaster seiyu should be warming up slightly, or be less cold, anyway. Forecast is say it should be. Thank you to taking the time to talk to us. That was peter, a cab driver in new york city. Mother nature is the boss, and that the truth . Do you know what, it was cold enough outside yesterday watching the kids playford hall. I shouldnt complain, given those temperatures in new york. If you were out in the north east with temperatures like that, you could get frostbite in a couple of minutes. It is hazardous. We have cold, are nothing like that. A frosty start for most of the uk.

Outbreaks of rain on and off. Far north east. England and wales, cold. In the south east, a breeze. Cloud. A few showers. Not as cold as further north. Holding onto the breeze further south.
