officials say four children are among the 17 people confirmed to have been killed. the way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever and it starts tomorrow. it's called open banking and means you'll be able to ask your bank to share your details with other companies to get better deals. i'll explain all you need to know. in sport, it's too late to make any difference, but the referee, who awarded a controversial penalty which eventually cost northern ireland their world cup play—off against switzerland, has now admitted, he made a mistake. and as the queen marks 65 years since her coronation, for the first time her majesty lifts the lid on what life is like when you have to wear a crown. you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. today, misty and frosty. details on that in your weekend forecast a news on even cold weather on the way next week. that is next. in the last hour donald trump has confirmed he won't visit britain next month. the us president tweeted that he had cancelled the planned visit as he didn't want open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, ba rack obama. danjohnson has got the latest. after nearly 60 years flying above london's grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered this week, ready for the opening of the new us embassy. it is a $1 billion building on the southbank, and donald trump was due to officially open it next month. is it because it would be embarrassed the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon but then, the president strained at the special relationship by sharing on line far right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may command —— condemned, he even retorted. just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and she has done over six remarkable decades. at opening this place was never the same as a state visit. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year. the president is denying this decision was down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing. we can talk now to our north america corrspondent, peter bowes who is in our los angeles studio. what has donald trump been tweeting. the tweet came out at about midnight east coast time. essentially he is saying that he did not want to be associated with a decision that half —— harks back to the obama administration, that the decision was a bad decision as he put it, a bad deal and he didn't want to cut the ribbon. it is interesting because i have here a press release from the us embassy which is dated the second of october 2008. before the second of october 2008. before the president was elected into office. announcing this new embassy on the southbank in london. it says the new embassy will close —— serve asa the new embassy will close —— serve as a catalyst to the regeneration of the area. it was a decision made before president obama. there is a lot more that we will hear about this controversy. another one the president has been involved in. some very tough language that he has been using, uncouth language many would say in terms of the debate about immigration. it is caused a huge row this year ‘s. he said whiley having these people from these countries? he used a crude expression to describe katie, el salvador and other countries. what do we want all these people from africa here? —— haiti. we should have people from places like norway. the nigel farage has clarified remarks he made yesterday calling for a second eu referendum. the former ukip leader has said although another vote was the "last thing" he wanted, he thought it might be forced on the country by parliament. our political correspondent eleanor garnierjoins us now from westminster. no longer an no longeran mp, no longer an mp, nigel bharucha. but his words resonate with amy. certainly, the idea of a second referendum is not in nigel farage's gift but it seems like an unlikely alliance. nigel farage, the man instrumental in getting that referendum, his long fought referendum, his long fought referendum to leave the eu, agreeing with remain campaigners who believe the referendum should be revisited. we had some labour mps, liberal democrats agreeing with nigel farage. the former leader, nick clegg, tweeted i agree with nigel. his motivations for another vote are different from those who want to keep open the option of staying in the eu. he believes that there was another boat, people would back brexit and it would end the moaning of the whingeing of some of the remain campaigners. the nick clegg and tony blair types, they will never give up. they will go on whingeing and whining and moaning. maybe, just maybe, we should have a second referendum on eu membership. the whole thing? of course. i think if we had a second referendum, we could make it for a generation. he said he was clarifying his remarks and the second referendum was the last thing he wanted but parliament might demand one so brexit supporters should be prepared for one last battle. whatever the result, because opinion polls are not clear on what it would be, other brexit supporters have not agree with him. the current ukip leader said it would undermine the fabric of our democratic intervals. number ten has rejected the idea, saying the british people had made their decision. thank you for explaining all that. we will talk to nigel farage about this. he is on the programme at 830. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her. in england, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen by gps — up 78% from last week. police have released the names of 17 people — including four children — who are confirmed to have died in a mudslide which struck a small town in southern california. all of the dead were residents of montecito. there's confusion about how many people are missing with one official estimate putting the figure as high as a3. our north america correspondent james cook reports. in montecito, the authorities insist they are still in rescue mode but they are still in rescue mode but the chances of finding anyone alive are now slim. police have released the names of the first victims to be identified. they include for children aged three, six, ten and 12. and the number of people missing may be higher than first thought. we certainly hope there are going to be far fewer than that. we certainly hope there are going to be farfewer than that. we hope certainly hope there are going to be far fewer than that. we hope there is not going to be any more but realistically we suspect we are going to continue to have discovery of people who were killed. questions are now being asked about whether this area should have been evacuated. nowell fled with her two childrenjust evacuated. nowell fled with her two children just before the storm but many of my neighbours did not. this is like a warzone here. there are homes that are just missing and i walked down the street and i see balls and toys and bicycles and shoes and socks. the storm didn't just strike on the pacific coast. this was a surreal scene in the la suburb of burbank is a mudslide swept downhill. but the damage in —— montecito was far worse. the mudslide came roaring down here, sweeping are before it and if you wa nt to sweeping are before it and if you want to know how houses can be swept from their foundations so easily, this is the answer. just look at the size of the boulders that were pushed down from the mountains. rain was not the only cause of this carnage. the debris was watched —— washed down of mountains stripped bare and baked hard by a huge wildfire. james cook, bbc news, montecito. the queen has been talking about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation, including the weight of the imperial state crown. her majesty doesn't normally do interviews, but she spoke to the royal commentator alastair bruce as part of an upcoming bbc programme marking the 65th anniversary of the ceremony. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she famously doesn't do interviews. this is probably as close as she will get. a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crown jewels and the imperial state crown jewels and the imperial state crown warned by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately my father and i have about the same shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it remains itself. you have to keep your head very still. yes, and you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they are quite important things. she wrote her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four times. it's not built for. horrible. it's not meant for travelling in at all. certainly strung on leather. so it rocks around a lot? not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? i wrote around london. really? we must have gone for five miles. you wrote around london. really? we must have gone forfive miles. you can only go at walking pace. the horses couldn't possibly go any faster. it's so heavy. 65 years later, a monarch talking about her coronation. the crown, the real one. you can watch the coronation on bbc one at eight o'clock this evening. we will talk to alistair admitted later. a conversation with questions. it wasn't an interview. what have you got fries this morning? do you remember a famous incident last november? northern ireland felt really hard done by when a penalty was awarded against them when it wasjudged that when a penalty was awarded against them when it was judged that cory evans had acted like that? i threw a ball at you at the time. a lot of anger about that. it cost northern ireland a place in the world cup. now, the referee awarded that penalty which cost them so much has admitted he made a mistake. romanian referee ovidiu hategan, has accepted that his handball decision against corry evans was wrong. ricardo rodriguez's penalty, was the only goal in the two legs, as switzerland booked a world cup spot. tottenham's new stadium will host an, american football game, for the first time, when the seattle seahawks play the oakland raiders, in october. it'll be the first, of three, n.f.l games staged in london this year. british bobsleigher bruce tasker has been ruled out of competing at next month's winter olympics after suffering a minor stroke last week. tasker is expected to make a full recovery and resume his bobsleigh career next season. and it's been a good start to 2018, for wales' jamie donaldson. he got this hole—in—one during his opening round at the south africa open yesterday. that was a good shot, wasn't it? just a bit. fabulous. we will take a look at the papers. sorry about the rustling noises, we are getting sorted out. let's take a look at the front page of the times, it is taking a look at the flu problems, thousands more patients went to hospital with the flu last week. cases have risen by half and there are renewed calls for compulsory vaccinations for frontline nhs staff. the queen returning to buckingham palace after her coronation, and she has been talking about the weight of wearing that crown. we will be talking to a royal commentator who has been talking to the queen. and on quite a few papers, this is bethany walker, who died despite being airlifted to hospital when she first became ill with the flu. we are hearing a lot more about people who have been affected by that. the daily mail also picturing bethany walker. its main story takes a look at donald trump cancelling his visit to britain for an embassy opening, amid two fears. he will not be made welcome, and he has tweeted in the last hour or so that he wasn't happy about the positioning of the us embassy which was put out, all was constructed under president obama's administration. and on the front page of the mirror, if you are confused about nigel farage's comments, initially suggesting he wa nted comments, initially suggesting he wanted a second referendum, he has clarified to a degree saying he thinks there is an air of inevitability. it is not something he seeks, a second referendum on the eu votes, but we will be speaking to nigel farage so we can hear what he says for himself. that is coming up at about 8:30am this morning. how many times can we talk about brexit ina many times can we talk about brexit in a week, do you think?” many times can we talk about brexit in a week, do you think? i dread to think what to many! what is the issue this week? different industries are jostling for position as far as brexit is concerned, be at the car industry, retail. yesterday theresa may had a lot of bank bosses to downing street to talk about the future they would have in the new eu relationship. in the financial times this morning, theresa may to prioritise city in brexit talks. that will anger a low of people, as there is anger point that are city in terms of the financial crisis and its role in it. it is one of our biggest exports, though, and a huge employer of staff in the uk. a lot of people saying these deals are all done behind closed doors and if you look at the front of the telegraph this morning, this big picture tells you all you need to know, fingers on lips, not giving anything away, and the suggestion that all of these deals are too secretive and many people wanting to know what exactly theresa may has agreed with the bank losses as far as brexit talks are concerned. talking of deals, there isa concerned. talking of deals, there is a lot of talk about the transfer from arsenal of alexis sanchez, it looks like he is going to manchester, we thought manchester city but a lot of papers saying manchester united are planning to huack manchester united are planning to hijack that deal, but other papers disputing that, saying no way, jose. a p pa re ntly disputing that, saying no way, jose. apparently he has turned down manchester united and has his heart set on going to manchester city. far more important is that in saudi arabia tonight women will be able to go to arabia tonight women will be able to gotoa arabia tonight women will be able to go to a football match for the first time, which is pretty incredible, isn't it? one friend says she has been waiting since she was ten years old and doesn't really know how to explain how she is feeling today. this is the passion of saudi women ata this is the passion of saudi women at a foot or game in full when saudi arabia played australia, because they were allowed to go to that match in london, but until tonight they have not been allowed to go inside a football stadium. they could watch it on tv, but that will all change. are they sitting in the stand amongst men?” all change. are they sitting in the stand amongst men? i think there are segregated areas for now, at least, but at least they are in. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather. it was really foggy yesterday, has that cleared up? no, same again today. if you are fed up with great, i have news of changes on the way. foremost, a grey start to the day. lots of cloud and some fog as well across western dense patches of fog. you may go from good visibility to bad visibility in a short space of time. and frost where the sky is clear, in northern fringes of england and wales, temperatures above freezing, too much cloud to have dropped overnight, but relentless grey skies for the vast majority. mist and fog across western areas will take awhile to if it does at all. the cloud thickener finny scenarios for patchy light rain and drizzle. parts of western wales, north—west england and into scotla nd wales, north—west england and into scotland will clear up, we will see sunshine yet again, but sunshine or cloud, temperatures around where they should be this time of year. around seven to nine degrees. always feeling better where you have the sunny conditions. in the tonight, some patchy drizzle across eastern areas. most places will be driver time but through the night, gradually turning letter from the west in northern ireland. the same in the far west of wales and also across cornwall. breezy conditions with it. temperatures about six or seven degrees and the chance of a touch of frost and some clearer spots elsewhere. northern scotland the best of that into saturday morning. for many, as we go into the weekend, grey skies for many. northern and eastern parts of scotland, maybe eastern parts of england, as the breeze picks up, a damp day. in northern ireland, not clearing until later on. turning letter during the afternoon the part of western scotland, much of western wales, cornwall and then into parts of devon as well. temperatures fairly similarto of devon as well. temperatures fairly similar to today's values. saturday night our weather front grinds to a halt. we have wind is coming in from either direction. it just fizzles out to bring a rather damp day across parts of scotland, western england and wales. patchy, light rain and drizzle. further east a chilly start, but brightening up as the breeze starts to pick up during the day. by the end of the day, wet and windy across parts of western scotland and northern ireland. from saturday night in the monday we will see wet and windy weather. gales and severe gales sweeping its way eastwards. as that departs monday and into the end of next week, the rest of next week, low pressure to the east of iceland dominating things. firing down some pretty cold they are all way from greenland. so if you are fed up with the grey and fog, some colder conditions to go with it, but clearing, may be severe gales for one or two, and frequent showers, heavy with hail and thunder, and also some sleet and snow as well. but at least if you have had it a bit grey, a change coming. let's return to our main story, and the news that donald trump has abandoned his plans to visit britain next month. let's discuss this in more detail now with john tonge, who is a politics professor at the university of liverpool. it was a day of wavering in westminster yesterday. first, nigel farage suggested he would like a second referendum on leaving the eu. then he said, actually, he didn't. he has a way about his tweets, particularly. this happened in the last hour and a quarter, around midnight, we are told, he has put this one on twitter. what do you make of his explanation for not coming? he didn't waste any opportunity to criticise the previous administration. he says it was an unnecessary sale of the previous embassy and all obama's fault. that has been a consistent theme for donald trump, he has tried to reverse a lot of what barack obama did. it will be a relief to many in the uk. critics will say one visit is enough to the uk, and let's remember the state visit is still on. it will probably happen sometime next autumn. this is the cancellation of the embassy opening visit, which i suppose you could say in terms of the special relationship that might be a bit embarrassing, but frankly there will be an awful lot of relief, i think, in the british government. the level of security which is required for a presidential visit will be colossal and there are bound to be processed, and there are bound to be processed, and frankly you don't want that. you might even put off the state visit had it gone wrong with the opening of the embassy. should we read much into it in terms of the relationship, or take it that donald trump doesn't want anything to do with the old administration, and it is the politics of the us and not internationally? welcome offer all the bluster, i don't think they have really developed a relationship. there has been friction over the britain first retweet, and the response from the american administration was very, very sharp indeed. so things have been frosty. there is no sun on the horizon with this trade deal which britain wants to co m plete this trade deal which britain wants to complete with the uk fairly quickly. all the talk of the special relationship, i don't think there is one at the moment with the trump administration. so are the sort of vaguely connected, nigel farage, claiming to be pals with donald trump. we will speak to him later, because he has been clarifying some comments he made. could there be another referendum ? comments he made. could there be another referendum? here sort of saying that he feels there is a sense of inevitability about it, if for no other reason than to shut down those voices from elsewhere. do you want to talk us through what mechanisms they could be for another referendum? i think it is inconceivable there would be another referendum of simply remain versus leave. the call from nigel farage, although he has backtracked from it somewhat, i don't think that is politically tenable. both parties have ruled that out categorically. what might happen is that if the eu offers us an unacceptable trade deal the westminster parliament could vote that down. and then we are not in the eu land, we are not in the single market land, not in the customs unit land, and then what do we do? do we go back to the european union and seek a better deal? and at some point, do we put the terms of that deal to the british people? so they could be a second referendum on they could be a second referendum on the terms of any deal. if the uk parliament says the deal that the eu is offering is not good enough, then at some point the people may be entitled to on whether what the eu is offering is good enough. so i wouldn't rule out a second referendum, but it won't be a straightforward remain versus leave. it is not as simple as that. you simply cannot rerun what happened on 23june simply cannot rerun what happened on 23 june 2016. simply cannot rerun what happened on 23 june 20 16. always good to have you on the sofa, thank you very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm victoria hollins. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it is the third strike this week in a dispute with the rmt union over the role of guards. south—western railway says it hopes to run about 70% of services, but passengers travelling on the network, including out of waterloo station, are likely to face delays or disruption. a teenager will appear in court later charged with the murder of a shop worker in mill hill. vijay patel, a father—of—four, was assaulted at the rota express convenience store in the broadway on saturday night, and died the following day. a 16—year—old from north—west london has been charged with his murder. the metropolitan police said on thursday that two other youths had been arrested following the release of cctv images linked to the incident. marylebone town hall is opening its doors for first time this weekend after a £60 million refurbishment. over the years, the grade 2—listed building has staged several celebrity weddings, including those of sir paul mccartney, liam gallagher, and cilla black. it was first place in england to host civil partnership and same—sex marriages, and has now been conserved for the next generation. icame i came here just i came herejust before i came here just before christmas, andi i came here just before christmas, and i came here on my own early one morning, and i just and i came here on my own early one morning, and ijust sat in one of the rooms, and i wasjust so proud of the transformation. because, on the whole, it looks the same, and nothing has been displaced. everything is still in place, all the wood panelling and all of that. but it has got such... itjust has such an amazing uplift, and it is just the i am just so proud of it. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning. however, the london overground has no service from gospel oak to barking, because of engineering works. on the roads, the a13 slow moving westbound from dagenham to barking — the usual delays. in spitalfield, commercial street is partially blocked southbound, near to brushfield street, because a manhole has collapsed. chelsea embankment is closed westbound for roadworks between chelsea bridge and battersea bridge. let's have a check on the weather now. hello, good morning. it was a grey, damp, drizzly day yesterday and we are starting off this morning on a similar uninspiring note. but there will be something brighter, i am quite hopefulfor will be something brighter, i am quite hopeful for that, will be something brighter, i am quite hopefulfor that, as we head into the afternoon, particularly towards the scenarios. but to begin with, lots of low cloud around. some misty, murky conditions. a bit of hill fog over the downs and the chilterns and a few spots of drizzle. just towards western areas of the capital, this is where they could continue possibly into the afternoon. further east, the cloud will then and break. we will get some brighter spells developing. top temperatures between seven and nine celsius. then, as we head to this evening and overnight, the breeze will pick up just a touch more. so mr not too much of an issue into tomorrow morning but lots of low cloud. loads of 56 celsius. now, tomorrow will feel windier. the wind will help the makes up the air. temperatures a degree or so down on what we will see later on today. across the course of the weekend, again, sunday mostly dry, very windy by the end of the day. rain on monday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we'll bring you the latest news and sport injust a moment. here's what's coming up on breakfast today. the way we manage our money is getting a shake—up. we'll look at whether open banking, will really get you a better deal on current accounts and savings. her majesty's verdict on the golden coach that took her to the coronation. we'll speak to the man who managed to get the monarch to break the spell of pomp and pageantry of that day for a new documentary. —— from pulpits to parishioners. we'll meet the vicars who feature in a new series that looks at the role they have to play in rural communities and how their faith fits in the modern world. in the last hour, donald trump has confirmed he will not visit britain next month. he tweeted that he had cancelled a planned visit as he did not want to open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, barack embassy commissioned by his predecessor, ba rack obama. after nearly 60 years flying a love —— flying above london's grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered ready to the opening of the new us embassy. it's billion—dollar building on the southbank and donald trump was due to open it next month. now we know he won't and early this morning, he posted his reasons on twitter: but did the prospect of protests like this also put off? this was the response to his ban on travellers from certain muslim countries. a petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him. it shouldn't be a state visit because it would be embarrassing to the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon. but then the president strain the special relationship by sharing on line far right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may condemned, he then retorted. just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and he is coming to this country? you will be coming to this country? you will be coming to the country. the foreign secretary denied the queen would be embarrassed. i think her majesty the queen is capable of taking this american president or any american president in her stride, as she has done over six remarkable decades. let's be clear. opening this place was never the same as a state visit. it would have been a shorter, less formal trip. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year, but no date has been set. the president is denying this decision is down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her. elsewhere, in england, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen by gps — up 78 per cent from last week. the conduct of the media is expected to be examined by the independent review into the response to the manchester arena bombing. 22 people were killed when a bomb was set off after a pop concert at the venue in may. several of the bereaved families have raised concerns about the reporting of the attack. the review will also look at the role played by social media. the queen has been talking about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation 65 years ago. as part of a bbc programme, she spoke candidly about herjourney to the catherdral and the heaviness of the crown she wore when she was coronated. what ‘the coronation' will air on bbc one at 8pm this sunday. you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they are quite important things. a butcher who got frozen in his own freezer described how he used black pudding. the freeze door blew shut behind him. he was stranded in temperatures less than —20 degrees. he says he used the sausages are battering ram on the door‘s release mechanism. i couldn't work out how to do it initially. then i found the black pudding stick and tried to get an angle on this button. as you can see, it's not that easy now. anyone who is trapped in a freezer now, courtesy of a butcher in devon. carrying a sausage, very useful. the world championships, they are big things, they would be very useful. there is a black pudding world championships. you don't want to get hit by one. not that i have been. very useful to have around. hit by one. not that i have been. very usefulto have around. how hit by one. not that i have been. very useful to have around. how big are the black puddings? very useful to have around. how big are the black puddings7m very useful to have around. how big are the black puddings? it depends on the category you're a competing in. it's really not complicated. have you finished talking about black pudding? yeah when we make mistakes? when it's a big one that costs your country a place of the world cup. it hurts now that the referee has said. the referee who awarded that controversial penalty which eventually cost northern ireland their world cup play—off against switzerland last year has now admitted, he made a mistake. ovidiu hategan ruled northern ireland's corry evans blocked a shot, with his arm during the first leg, despite replays showing the ball struck the player's shoulder. michael o'neill‘s side went on to lose the match 1—nil, ending their hopes of reaching a world cup for the first time in 32 years. it was a sad and unpleasant moments to me. sad, because i made a mistake. painful, because with my tea m mistake. painful, because with my team of officials we had been working well. in my world, the referees are the same as the goalkeepers. everybody has made a mistake. stephen craig says two months after the event, it is pathetic. with andy murray missing through injury, british attention at the australian open will focus onjohanna konta — she's been drawn to face the unseeded american, madison brengle in the first round, which starts on monday. the draw was made yesterday with roger federer, among the guests in melbourne. he'll start the defence of his title against aliash bedene, the former british number two, who now represents his native slovenia. maria sharapova, was also at the draw, despite receiving a drugs ban two years ago, while competing in this competition. espite england's recent ashes humiliation, liam livingstone says he can't wait to start life as a test cricketer. the 24—year—old batsman, has been named in england's test side for the first time for march's tour of new zealand, having impressed with big scores in the one day game. will ship my stats stats show that my strength is in red bull cricket. i've already had a taste of international experience with the 2020 this year and it will be nice to go into the environment this time with a lot more confidence in my game. the mba returned to london last night. the league the american basketball league is looking to expand its fanbase to expand its fanbase here and across europe, but they say a full time franchise based in the uk is looking increasingly unlikey. this match saw a meeting of two of the eastern conferences most exciting teams, with the boston celtics eventually beating the philadelphia 76—ers by 114 points to 103. staying with american sports in the capital, and tottenham's hopes of starting the new season in their new white hart lane stadium have been boosted, after it was announced spurs' refurbished ground will host the first match of the nfl london series in 2018. seattle seahawks will play the oakland raiders at white hart lane in october, and the new stadium has special features so both football and american football will have their own playing surface, apparently. it has been my dream for a number of yea rs it has been my dream for a number of years to crate something special not just for ourfans years to crate something special not just for our fans but for an owl fan —— and it bans local area and i believe nfl and premier league soccer together, it will be something unique in the world. we have got to pictures. the nfl picture is the lower pitch. the premier league one will go under the south stand. it will enable the nfl to have as many games as they want during that period. england's trina gulliver, still looks like the woman to beat at darts,‘ b.d.o world championship. she's already won this tournament ten times previously, now she's into this year's semi—finals at lakeside. she beat the netherlands aileen de graaf, by two sets to nil. british bobsleigher bruce tasker, has been ruled out of competing, at next month's winter olympics, after suffering a minor stroke last week. tasker was due to compete in his second winter games in pyeongchang. he was taken to hospital on the 11th of january, after experiencing dizziness and nausea, but he is expected to make a full recovery, and resume his bobsleigh career by next season. and how about this for a good way to start off the golfing year for wales' jamie donaldson. this was his tee shot, at the par three 14th hole at the south africa open in edevale. and it went in for a hole in one. donaldson finished his round at two under par, five shots off the leader. i know what it's like to have that feeling when you see it go all the way in. you have had a hole in one? at crazy golf. it all counts. in training for the world championships. i'm not going to beat that. dozens of senior accident and emergency doctors in england and wales have written a letter to the prime minister warning that patients are dying in hospital corridors and conditions are at times ‘intolerable'. (pres) it follows a number of reports of patients waiting hours for beds or being left on trollies. health bosses say ‘very high' rates of flu is placing pressure on the nhs. stephen lord is one of the medics who signed the letter to theresa may. hejoins us now. this is unprecedented. we haven't seen a group, people like you get together and sign this matter. what is taking you to this point? we expect every winter to be tough on patience. but this winter has proved tougher than any of the previous ones we have worked. we put patient ca re ones we have worked. we put patient care at the centre of our focus. this winter, we have seen on unprecedented levels, but care being compromised, delays in treatment, not being able to see patients in a timely manner. we decided it was timely manner. we decided it was time to speak up and raise our concerns. you are a clinical director who oversees a a&e department. are you worried about people dying in your department when they potentially shouldn't be?” worry about patients coming to harm. i have long ambulance queues at times. waiting to get into a cubicle to be seen by my staff. all the time that they are delayed, they are not getting the care that they need. you speak in very measured terms. you have signed a public letter asking for action from the government, from the prime minister. have you had a response? not yet other than the bits that were in the media yesterday. the letter was signed on wednesday and went out yesterday, which was leaked by the health service journal. the stock response right now it is what the government line is. extra resources have been put in place. there is a plan to deal with what we are dealing with now. that is the stock response to what your saying. every winter, we have a plan going into winter. every plan needs resources in both real estate, people but also the finances to back it. we have seen this winter, our hospital sitting at around 95% occupancy. efficiency relies on about 85% occupancy. it means we can't get patients through the hospital quicken up. there is not enough social care are out there to look after an elderly population. we often hear about the precipice, the edge of something. can you give usa the edge of something. can you give us a picture of what the next stage is that it carries on like this? what is the next stage? what does that look like? the next stage will be large numbers of patients coming toa be large numbers of patients coming to a significant harm. increasing mortality across hospitals because patients are not getting the treatment they require in the time they require. give me an idea of numbers. this yearin give me an idea of numbers. this year in my department we have seen a 296 year in my department we have seen a 2% increase in attendances but we have admitted another five or 6% of patients to the hospital. so from my department that is about another five patients per day. on our worst day we admitted another 20 patients over where we would expect to admit ona over where we would expect to admit on a normal day. and that is on top of all the normal work. and these patients at times are waiting more than 12 hours in my department. you know, that is three times the length of time that people should be waiting. we should see, and we should discharge and had met people infour should discharge and had met people in four hours. but people are waiting 20 hours. what would you say to someone at this moment in time needs to take someone to a&e or send someone to a&e. people hearing this will think i don't want to send a relative if there is a risk of coming to harm. we always see people ina coming to harm. we always see people in a priority order. everyone is triage at the front door, so we will see them at the order of their clinical need. we will see everyone and give them the treatments they require, but unless we can sort the system out, we will make no guarantees. in —— even senior doctors can't make that guarantee. and we will be keeping an eye on that story this morning. we are also looking at the weather picture as well. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather. very good morning to you, and no big changes on the weather front at the moment. there will be next week, as i will show you. out there today we have the familiar colour of grey overhead for the vast majority. some will brighten up a early—morning commuters on the roads across western parts of the uk will have some fog around, and these areas are most likely to see some frost. temperatures dropping down to —3, “i! in northern scotland, just below freezing in the south—west. either side of it you are frost free but the figures cloud is producing rain and drizzle around the eastern areas, from london all the way towards the wash at the moment. the odd heavy burst here and they will come and go all day long across some parts of eastern england. for most it isa parts of eastern england. for most it is a dry day and some of the mist and fog will clear. some of you will see some sunshine. the best chance of sunshine in western wales, parts of sunshine in western wales, parts of north—west england and the north of north—west england and the north of scotla nd of north—west england and the north of scotland and while temperatures across the border fairly similar, that bit sunshine will make him feel much better. into the night, the wind coming from the south—east. no push from the atlantic at the moment, this weather front trying to push its way in. it will bring rain by the end of the night in northern ireland and pembrokeshire and cornwall and the isles of scilly. most generally dry. the odd spot of light rain and drizzle in the breeze as we have seen the past few nights and lots of cloud into saturday morning. so another grey start for the start of the weekend. wet in northern ireland, turning wet in western scotland for a good part of western scotland for a good part of western wales, cornwall and parts of devon. more so across scotland, parts of eastern wales will stay dry. the better chance of a few cloud breaks to the south and east tomorrow compared with recent days, and temperatures similar to today. through saturday night and into sunday, that weather front coming off the atlantic sits in place across parts of scotland, wales, towards the south—west. here we will see the greatest conditions —— greatest conditions to begin with. a few breaks in the south and east with early—morning frost and fog. temperatures struggling after the chilly start by the end of the day western scotland and northern ireland will have heavy rain and gusty winds spreading its weight in. through sunday night into monday, here comes the change. gales and severe gale force winds. clear in the south—east and by the time we get to the end of monday, just follow the isobars back all the wage agreement from north canada, much colder air will follow in its wake. that will sweep away the grade, the murkiness, the mist that we have seen over this week on introducing crisper conditions at times, but it will feel colder. pretty windy as well, widespread gales expected and lots of showers around. heavy with hailand lots of showers around. heavy with hail and thunder and increasingly sleet and snow across northern and western areas as well. a big change from what we have just now.” western areas as well. a big change from what we have just now. i think you should have stopped that windy. thank you very much. this is a new one on me, ben, the idea of open banking. it is a bit complicated and it will take awhile to its presence felt but it is a really significant change to the way we do our banking. the way that we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever. it is called open banking and it is the biggest shakeup ina banking and it is the biggest shakeup in a generation. so why is it happening and what does it mean for us? for years, our high street banks have dominated the market for savings and current accounts. most of us stay with the same bank for decades and so the regulator wants to make it easier to shop around, creating more competition. we could save nearly £100 a yearjust by switching banks and even more if you regularly use alone, an overdraft or a mortgage. at the moment there are just too many forms to fill in each time we want to sign up for something new. and so new eu rules mean big banks will be forced to share our information if we ask them to, so we can signup to new deals, switch or get better interest rates, all at the click of a button. number one, personal budgeting, the ability to see where my money comes from under categories i am spending it on. i'm getting better visibility with that. the second one is the ability to bring all my accounts into one place, so i might look on a smartphone or banking out and see notjust the smartphone or banking out and see not just the current account from the tank, but other products and services that i might have, alone overdraft, for example. and the third one would be around financial management, and that would be things like overdraft alerts, for example, so like overdraft alerts, for example, so the ability to find better products which are more suited to me and the ability to switch to those products as well. butjust how safe is it? when you sign up a new product you will be asked if you wa nt to product you will be asked if you want to share your financial data and who you want to share it with. if you don't agree, it won't be shared. but not everyone is made confident by those changes. a recent survey found the majority of consumers are still sceptical about sharing theirfinancial consumers are still sceptical about sharing their financial data. one of the biggest concerns is security. people will be sharing sensitive financial data. third parties, perhaps brands you have never heard of, will be able to take a real peek into your current account and look at where you spend, your habits and your vices, and do you feel comfortable sharing that? of course there is the risk that that data could go astray or it could be intercepted by fraudsters, and they would really hold the keys to your financial life. but remember, you have to give your permission before anyone can see that data. in theory it should make it easier to shop around. remember, it all officially begins tomorrow. just a small number of banks say they are ready for these changes, others have been given more time to comply. credit ca rd given more time to comply. credit card companies, mortgage firms and insurers will sign up as well. you might not notice any changes just yet but the changes are coming, and that revolution starts tomorrow. thank you very much. if you visit thirlmere, in the lake district, the only sounds you will hear are the chirping of birds and the trickle of a nearby stream. that could soon change, though. a consultation on the construction of a new zip wire across the reservoir ends today. developers say it will bring new tourists to the area. but the proposal hasn't gone down well with conservationists, as breakfast graham satchell reports. hidden in the trees next to lake windermere, is acquire. —— zip wire. kia and will are about to go down for the first time. ibook this was his birthday. would you normally come to the lakes anywhere? we haven't been before, no. go! bringing new people to the lakes is just one reason. treetop trek want to build one more zip wire half an hour at the road at thirlmere. so you can't really do this story without actually having a go. so here we go. one, two at three! so the people behind this new zip wire say it will create 15 newjobs, and should create £600,000 for the economy, and there should be 50,000 people a year using it. it is about getting outdoors, doing something you wouldn't normally do, challenging yourself. and i think the more people we can encourage to get outdoors and to get up into the cells and to get around the lakes, the better. the plans would see four wires going across the water one way at thirlmere, a quick track, and then four wires going back to the other side. and this is thirlmere. breathtaking, majestic, sareen, and surprising. it is surprising because, actually, most of what you can see here is man—made. the trees, for example, were planted in the early 1900s, and the water is not a la ke early 1900s, and the water is not a lake on it is a reservoir, built in the 18905 to supply water to manchester, which it still does today. there was a huge row when this reservoir wa5 today. there was a huge row when this reservoir was built between indu5triali5t5 and city folk to the south and a group of locals, including the poet and philosopher john ruskin, who many consider to be the founding father of modern conservation is. rusk and lost the first battle of thirlmere, but the group he was part of, now called the friends of the lakes district, is determined not to lose this one.” love getting out, getting away from it all. and i think having all these vi5itors here will 5poil that, will 5poil vi5itors here will 5poil that, will spoil the landscape. vi5itors here will 5poil that, will spoilthe landscape. zip vi5itors here will 5poil that, will spoil the landscape. zip wires have a place, but not in urban landscape, and certainly not across an expanse of open water. i have been on one, you do scream, you can't help it. it would just be awful to have that here, when you come here for peaceful walks in nature. what do you thinkjohn ruskin would have made of your zip wires proposal?” have absolutely no idea whatsoever. but we shouldn't be afraid of words like thrill and fun. they should go hand—in—hand with words like his ability. these pictures show what it might be like to go the proposed new zip wire. there is a big question here. should the late district be opened up to more people who wouldn't normally come, or should be left in peace, it is? that makes me want to go to the lake district this weekend. and you can understand why sentiments run high, because it looks so stunning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it is the third strike this week in a dispute with the rmt union over the role of guards. south—western railway says it hopes to run about 70% of services, but passengers travelling on the network, including out of waterloo station, are likely to face delays or disruption. a teenager will appear in court later charged with the murder of a shop worker in mill hill. vijay patel, a father—of—four, was assaulted at the rota express convenience store in the broadway on saturday night, and died the following day. a 16—year—old from north—west london has been charged with his murder. the met says two other teenagers have been arrested following the release of cctv images linked to the incident. marylebone town hall is opening its doors for first time this weekend, after a £60 million refurbishment. over the years, the grade 2—listed building has staged several celebrity weddings, including those of sir paul mccartney, liam gallagher, and cilla black. it was first place in england to host civil partnership and same—sex marriages, and has now been conserved for the next generation. i came here just before christmas, and i came here on my own early one morning, and ijust sat in one of the rooms, and i wasjust so proud of the transformation. because, on the whole, it looks the same, and nothing has been displaced. everything is still in place, all the wood panelling and all of that. but it's got such — it's just got such an amazing uplift, and it's — i'm just so proud of it. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning. however, the london overground has no service from gospel oak to barking, because of engineering works. on the roads, the a13 is slow moving westbound from dagenham to barking — the usual delays. in spitalfield, commercial street is partially blocked southbound, near to brushfield street, because a manhole has collapsed. chelsea embankment is closed westbound for roadworks between chelsea bridge and battersea bridge. let's have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday it was very down, drizzly and murky. it is a similar sort of morning today. a very uninspiring start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. so start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. so we start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. so we are beginning the morning off on around five, six celsius. not too chilly but there could be a few early fog patches around in a few spots of drizzle, but italy out towards western areas, where they may continue as we head into the afternoon. but further is to that line the cloud should then a break. we will get some brighter spells, top temperatures between seven and nine celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight the breeze will pick up a touch, so mist and fog not too much an issue in the tomorrow morning. a few spots of rain. a low cloud around again. those four or five celsius. now, temperatures will go down a touch over the course of the weekend. a lot of cloud around. mostly dry, some brighter spells that time. turning windy by the end of sunday. and then it is a wet start to the new working week. station donald trump abandons his plans to visit britain next month. the us president had been due to open the new american embassy in london, with protests planned by groups opposed to his administration. in the past hour, he's tweeted that

the california mudslides. officials say four children are among the 17 people confirmed to have been killed. the way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever and it starts tomorrow. it's called open banking and means you'll be able to ask your bank to share your details with other companies to get better deals. i'll explain all you need to know. in sport, hartpury to go for bruce tasker, the british bobsleigh star. he is expected to make a full recovery from his injury, however. and as the queen marks 65 years since her coronation, for the first time her majesty lifts the lid on what life is like when you have to wear a crown. you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. today, misty and frosty. details on that in your weekend forecast a news on even cold weather on the way next week. that is next. good morning. first, our main story. donald trump has confirmed he won't visit britain next month. the us president tweeted that he had cancelled the planned visit as he didn't want open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, ba rack obama. danjohnson has got the latest. after nearly 60 years flying above london's grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered this week, ready for the opening of the new us embassy. it is a $1 billion building on the southbank, and donald trump was due to officially open it next month. now, we know he won't. some sources say the president did not want to be associated donald trump has got to go! but did the prospect of protests like this also put off? this was the response to his ban on travellers from certain muslim countries. a petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him. it shouldn't be a state visit because it would be embarrassing to the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon. but then the president strained the special relationship by sharing online far—right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may condemned, he then retorted. when theresa may condemned, he even retorted. butjust last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and he is coming to this country? he will be coming to the country. the foreign secretary denied the queen would be embarrassed. i think her majesty the queen is capable of taking this american president or any american president in her stride, as she has done over six remarkable decades. let's be clear. opening this place was never the same as a state visit. it would have been a shorter, less formal trip. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year, but no date has been set. the president is denying this decision is down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing. we can talk now to our north america corrspondent, eleanor garnier who is in our los angeles studio. how special is this relationship? some may say it is a snub. it is not a good look to have another bit of having said that, is he doing it deliberately to annoy the british government? i don't think so. it is a backdrop of a strained relationship it has been strained at times. it was only last week we heard the prime minister was saying that the president would be visiting the uk. the state visit, that's with all the pomp and ceremony where donald trump would be seeing the queen, that has been on the backburner but there is a more straightforward visit, a working visit, and it was due to take place next month. we know donald trump's public official reason becoming is because he is unhappy with the building and its relocation, all the bbc understands although donald trump is blaming the obama administration, the decision was taken before president obama came into office. there are other reasons being suggested for coming? the threat of anti—trump demonstrations. the mayor of london has made it clear that he doesn't think he is welcome in this country. another difficulty is that when theresa may made that invitation to donald trump to come to the uk that state visit, it was very early on. it became a very controversial invitation. formerly made by the queen. there's a lot of pressure on this visit. it is ratcheted up the diplomatic pressure. i think that is why it might feel a bit uncomfortable for those at number 10. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her. in england, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen away this winter has proved very tough. we as doctors put patient ca re tough. we as doctors put patient care is our number one focus. we seek optimisers in treatment, delays, not seeing patients in a timely manner. through that, we decided it's time to speak up and raise our concerns. the queen has been talking about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation, including the weight of the imperial state crown. her majesty doesn't normally do interviews, but she spoke to the royal commentator alastair bruce as part of an upcoming bbc programme marking the 65th anniversary of the ceremony. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she famously doesn't do interviews. this is probably as close as she will get. a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crownjewels and the imperial state crown warned by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately my father and i have about the same sort of shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it just remains itself. you have to keep your head very still. yes, and you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they're quite important things. she rode her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four tonnes. it's not built for comfort. horrible. it's not meant for travelling in at all. it's only sprung on leather. so it rocks around a lot? not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? i rode around london. really? we must have gone four orfive miles. you can only go at walking pace. the horses couldn't possibly go any faster. it's so heavy. 65 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation. the crown, the real one. nicholas witchell, bbc news. you can watch the coronation on bbc one at eight o'clock this evening. you are right up—to—date. matters going to bring the weather. flamboyant, confident and a young man who loved to be the centre of attention, martyn hett was among the 22 people killed in the attack last may. his family found themselves in the media spotlight, almost from the very moment they heard about the explosion. judith moritz has this report. the manchester arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were lost, many more were changed forever. he made international headlines and that meant there was huge media interest in the stories of those most closely affected. they included the family of martyn hett, one of those killed in the blast. he had a large social media following and had previously been on tv, and possibly as a result, his family found themselves in the spotlight almost from the very moment they heard about their explosion and before they knew martyn had died. heard about their explosion and before they knew martyn had diedm seems a bit dissed tasteful, really. how can anybody be so cool and say sorry for your loss? we didn't find out officially this evening until he was dead. now an independent panel will consider the way the media covered the stories of the breeds and injured. the review panel will recommend that public organisations adopt a charter which uses lessons learned from the hillsborough disaster. it states that the bereaved and vulnerable should be treated with respect and put first by those responding to such public tragedies. joining us as lord kerslake, the chair of the review. and stuart murray, martyn hett‘s father. how do you feel now? no one can put a time on how long to grieve and how much you miss. you will always miss martyn. how do you think you are treated or approached by the media? i think, media treated or approached by the media? ithink, media point treated or approached by the media? i think, media point of view, if you imagine that one minute, you are at home watching it on the tv and you go to the arena to get some news and if you imagine how it would feel, you leave your children at home. your teenagers while you are trying to find out news of what happens, and while you are there, you don't even know what has happened. there are people knocking on the door at home to your children. saving our condolences about your brother, would you like to talk about it? that is nine and ten o'clock in the morning. we won't even told until ten o'clock at night. but was confirmed. how would you feel is apparent that was happening to your children? how did you know that had happened? children? how did you know that had happened ? the children? how did you know that had happened? the children account of the stories. they told you about that. it was our children and those where we lived, the media found the address of our children who don't live at home and some of martyn's friends, his flatmates. this is before we even had news and confirmation of what had happened. those people it happened to, those enquiries by the media? what was the impact of that? i suppose that makes you, the people involved angry and cautious how they would deal with the media thereafter. if you're trying to make an impression that is not the way to make an impression if you want to try were to be involved with them. it's not a good way to start. we will talk about that because we've spoken to you before. lord kerslake, because we've spoken to you before. lord kersla ke, you because we've spoken to you before. lord kerslake, you have spoken to members of the family, family members, survivors, people who are at the media. what has been your impression about how the media has behaved? how impression about how the media has behaved ? how has impression about how the media has behaved? how has that been inappropriate in terms of media guidelines? we really wanted to tell the story in terms of the bereaved and injured. a lot of the media handed —— handled things respectfully but there were occasions where they didn't. what you find here is that with social media, the identity of those were missing becomes known quite quickly. then it is, how does the media respond to that situation? we have heard, i think, respond to that situation? we have heard, ithink, of respond to that situation? we have heard, i think, of an example where they did badly. we wanted to look at and go through the detail of this, what can we learn from this? have the lessons of previous events like this been learned ? the lessons of previous events like this been learned? its early stages. have you been able to draw any conclusions about that? there are certain realities here which you have come to deal with. social media exists. social media is going to appear. that will not change. what can be done? we want to do a bit more work, you are quite right, before we reach a conclusion. but most people would think it would be quite wrong to go to the door of somebody‘s house where the family don't yet know the outcome themselves, as we have heard from stuart, and express condolences for their loss. we must find a way in which that doesn't happen. there is a balance, isn't there, stuart, in terms of what people want to know. you have been on the sofa talking about martin, remembering him, and people are interested. people want to know about the people who are victims of this atrocity. there is a way that the media needs to get that across to people, when we see something like what happened at the manchester arena. where do you think the lines have been blurred, or perhaps stepped over inappropriately? i think as one of the victims‘ families, i think our role is to describe what has happened, and then let all the individual organisations decide whether what they did was right. i don‘t want to be seen to be saying this is what you must do. there are lots of different things happen, and you have to look at what happens to everyone. we feed it back and then we wa nt everyone. we feed it back and then we want all the different organisations who have been involved in looking after us afterwards to say what they did, was it right, could they have improved it? you described the immediate aftermath, and soul of those hours immediately afterwards, when the press were doing those things. in the longer term, do you feel that your family has been respected more, or is it an ongoing issue of respecting your privacy and giving the family time? i think overall i think we have been looked after fantastically by everybody involved. but there is a lwa ys everybody involved. but there is always going to be lessons to be learned. so this isn‘t about trying to find blame, but when a big disaster happens, you need to look at it and say is there anything we could do even better on? what do you think could change, in the outcome of this, what could significantly change, do you think?” of this, what could significantly change, do you think? i think it is all about the way in which people behave, the respect with which they treat those caught up in these terrible events. and i think we learned a lot, actually, in very different circumstances, the report that bishopjones different circumstances, the report that bishop jones did different circumstances, the report that bishopjones did in the hillsborough enquiry, and he set out some guiding principles for public agencies in terms of how they should approach to read families. and those applied not just the approach to read families. and those applied notjust the public agencies, but to the media as well. thank you very much for your time, and thank you for spending time with us this morning. here is matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. and there looks to be some horrible weather on the way. it depends how you look at it, really. things will be changing. for some a welcome change from the grey we have seen through the bulk of the week. certainly cloudy at the moment. o‘grady, misty start to your friday morning. some dense fog patches, especially in the west. the reason our weather hasn‘t been changing much of late is down to the position of the jet stream. it has been rushing out of usa and making this week undulating dip across the atlantic, and then not really reaching us. so we have no real push to bring weather systems our way and shake up our weather of it. but that will change into next week. as we run into quieter weather, it the wind will fall light. the temperatures drop wet skies have been clear, that is western areas and northern scotland, below freezing over the last hour or two. either side of it a frosty start today but essentially another grey one. misty and foggy over the hills. dense patches of fog and lower levels of wales and the south—west in particular. and the cloud from london and the south—east through yorkshire, always big enough to produce some rain and drizzle. most of you will have a dry day and some cloud appearing, the best favoured for it will be parts of west and north wales, parts of western north of england and parts of scotland. and where you see the sunshine, similar across—the—board, and where you see the sunshine, similaracross—the—board, it and where you see the sunshine, similar across—the—board, it will feel a little bit better. as we go through the night, still some patchy drizzle in the east but the main focus is in the west, the atlantic jetstrea m focus is in the west, the atlantic jetstream trying to push this end. rain on and off by the end of the night, maybe in the pembrokeshire, cornwall and by the time we see first light on saturday into the far west of scotland. but that weather front going to sit across these areas all day long on saturday. in the west, some of the areas which see the sunshine today, probably a wet day tomorrow. much of eastern england and wales will stay dry. with a bit more breeze around tomorrow, especially across the south and east, a better chance of some sunshine but it will feel rather cool here is cooler air comes back off the continent. saturday night the chance of some frost in the south—east corner. that weather front just sets across the west of scotland, the far west of england and wales to take us into sunday. sunday grey and damp for many western areas. maybe some brightness breaking through the further east you are. elsewhere the wind will pick up, that is the sign of the jetstrea m pick up, that is the sign of the jetstream winning through. it brings this weather front from scotland and northern ireland, and as the jetstrea m northern ireland, and as the jetstream starts to push that through, wet and windy for all to ta kers through, wet and windy for all to takers from sunday night into monday, and then a big change on the way. following the isobars back all the way in towards the likes agreement, northern canada, much colder air for the agreement, northern canada, much colder airfor the start agreement, northern canada, much colder air for the start of next week. that will take us through all of next week. that does mean that we sweep away the grey skies of this week tom but it also means it will feel colder. it will be much, much windier than we have had this week, and there will be frequent showers around. some of the showers will contain sleet and snow. the future of building contractor carillion hangs in the balance, amid fears it is close to collapse. crisis talks this week, but there are fears it is close to collapse. another crisis meeting will be held today, after

and promoted posts from businesses. he says he wants to prioritise what he calls meaningful social interactions, and felt a responsibility to make sure facebook was good for people‘s wellbeing. and a british satellite has been blasted into orbit on an indian rocket to make full—colour, high—definition videos of earth. rather than still images, that are currently the norm, the satellite will be able to record moving objects like cars or ships, and could be used for everything from monitoring traffic to helping rescuers after natural disasters. some great video of what it could look like, but that satellite in orbit now, so there are a lot of them have to get up there before it works. we will speak to the boss of the british company behind that satellite just after 8:30am this morning on breakfast. that will be interesting, looking forward to that. four injured ex—veterans have been unveiled as the drivers of a motor racing team with a difference. they will compete in the gt championship, in specially designed cars which allow them to compete against able—bodied drivers. let‘s talk our reporter, jj chalmers. he is a former soldier who served with some of the team. he will be doing the racing, and we can see, i assume, the car itself. yes, this is the car itself, it is an incredible beast. this is the launch of invictus games racing. we know it as a sporting competition for wounded and sick servicemen and women but it is ranching into the world of motorsport. to give you some context, this was my boss in afghanistan and got blown up a day after me, believe it or not. how do you go from being a royal marine to a racing driver? i spent two years in physical rehabilitation and during that time i got into motorsport, and i was introduced to my team, and incredibly, i have been luckily chosen to now raise four invictus games racing. and you have journeyed a similarjourney to steve. what has done for you rehabilitation? it has been amazing for my it has given me the opportunity to be part of a team again, to re— hone my competitive edge, and give me the opportunity to race in an awesome car. speaking of awesome ca rs, race in an awesome car. speaking of awesome cars, can you give us an insight into what we have here? so it is based on a jaguar f type, but it is based on a jaguar f type, but it has been seriously modified. it is the first factory gt race car to come out for 50 years from jaguar. it has some modifications, some of which we can't talk about because we don't want to give the game away, but suffice to say it is an incredible piece of kit and we can't wait to get behind the wheel. and if the car wasn‘t enough to make you believe they had taken this very seriously, look at this racing truck tom winnebago, as they call it in america. it has spared no expense, this type of invictus games endeavour. and james, how do you go from selling clothes to owning a race team ? from selling clothes to owning a race team? i want to do something cool for charity for quite awhile, andi cool for charity for quite awhile, and i was lucky enough to be in a position to do so. i thought if we could link up with the invictus guys and get jaguar to build could link up with the invictus guys and getjaguar to build a car within and getjaguar to build a car within a year, it would challenge the guys and give them a good project. so we started this year ago. we have another two years to run and we are looking forward to the first season of british gt championships this year. and i know from my days in rehabilitation, you are not here to make up numbers, are you? definitely not. we have already spoken and we are going to take it from the front. we are not here to make up the numbers, we are here to win this. march is when the first race will be, and you will want to keep your eyes on this one. and we are back with you a little later on. quite set up and quite an impressive as well. —— quite a setup. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it is the third strike this week in a dispute with the rmt union over the role of guards. south—western railway says it hopes to run about 70% of services, but passengers travelling on the network, including out of waterloo station, are likely to

2—listed building has staged several celebrity weddings, including those of sir paul mccartney, liam gallagher, and cilla black. it was first place in england to host civil partnership and same—sex marriages, and has now been conserved for the next generation. i came here just before christmas, and i came here on my own early one morning, and ijust sat in one of the rooms. and i wasjust so proud of the transformation. because on the whole it looks the same, and, you know, nothing has been displaced. everything is still in place, all the wood panelling and all of that. but it‘s got such a — it‘s just got such an amazing uplift, and it‘s — i‘m just so proud of it. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning. however, the london overground has no service from gospel oak to barking, because of engineering works. on the roads, the blackwall tunnel is slow northbound from blackwall lane. in spitalfield, commercial street is partially blocked southbound, near to brushfield street, because a manhole has collapsed. chelsea embankment is closed westbound for roadworks between chelsea bridge and battersea bridge. let‘s have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday it was very damp, drizzly and murky. it‘s a similar sort of morning today. a very uninspiring start, but i‘m hopeful that we should see something a bit brighterform as we head into the afternoon. so we‘re beginning the morning off on around 5—6 degrees celsius. not too chilly, but there could be a few early fog patches around, and a few spots of drizzle, particularly out towards western areas, where they may continue as we head into the afternoon. but further east of that line, the cloud should thin and break. we‘ll get some brighter spells, top temperatures between 7—9 celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, the breeze will pick up a touch, so mist and fog not too much of an issue into tomorrow morning. a few spots of rain, low cloud around again. lows of 11—5 degrees celsius. now, temperatures will go down a touch over the course of the weekend. a lot of cloud around. mostly dry, some brighter spells at times. turning windy by the end of sunday, and then it is a wet start to the new working week. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we‘ll bring you the latest news and sport injust a moment. here‘s what‘s coming up on breakfast today. in the last hour, donald trump has confirmed he will not visit britain next month. he tweeted that he had cancelled a planned visit as he did not want to open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, barack obama. essentially, he is saying he did not wa nt to essentially, he is saying he did not want to be associated with a decision that harks back to the obama administration. it was a bad decision, as he said, a bad deal. it is interesting because i have here a press release from the us embassy. it stated the second of october, 2008, before president obama was elected. announcing this new embassy on the southbank in london. it says the new embassy will serve as a catalyst to the regeneration of the area. it was a decision made before president obama. the conduct of the media is expected to be examined by the independent review into the response to the manchester arena bombing. 22 people were killed when a bomb was set off after a pop concert at the venue in may. several of the bereaved families have raised concerns about the reporting of the attack. the review will also look at the role played by social media. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her. elsewhere, in england, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen by gps — up 78 per cent from last week. but this winter has proved tougher than any of the previous ones we have worked. we put patient care at the centre of our focus. this winter, we have seen on unprecedented levels, that care being compromised, delays in treatment, not being able to see patients in a timely manner. we decided it was time to speak up and raise our concerns. a large fire has broken out in nottinghamshire. nottingham fire and rescue is dealing with a large incident. this is what we are getting. we understand the station has been evacuated. east midland trains say all trains through the station are cancelled and they expect disruptions for the rest of the morning. because of that fire, very much work you checking your travel plans. the queen has been talking about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation 65 years ago. as part of a bbc programme, she spoke candidly about herjourney to the catherdral and the heaviness of the crown she wore when she was crowned. you can‘t look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they‘re quite important things. a butcher who got frozen in his own freezer described how he used black pudding to free himself. chris mccabe there. the freezer door in devon blew shut behind him. he was stranded in temperatures less than —20 degrees. he says he used the sausage as a battering ram on the door‘s release mechanism. i couldn‘t work out how to do it initially. then i found the black pudding stick and tried to get to get an angle on this button. i did it by hitting it. as you can see, it‘s not that easy now. i will make sure there is black pudding in my freezer the whole time. i always have one on me. but in the black pudding world championships, you have to get them ona championships, you have to get them on a plinth. the sliced one? which wouldn‘t be as useful? on a plinth. the sliced one? which wouldn't be as useful? you need a long, hard one to get yourself out. tell us about the sport. when is it too late to say sorry? this was when northern ireland bought a penalty had cost them. now, finally, the referee who awarded a controversial penalty which cost northern ireland their world player has admitted he got it wrong. ovidiu hategan ruled northern ireland‘s corry evans blocked a shot, with his arm during the first leg, despite replays showing the ball struck the player‘s shoulder. michael o‘neill‘s side went on to lose the match 1—nil, ending their hopes of reaching a world cup for the first time in 32 years. translation: it was a sad and unpleasant moment to me. sad, because i made a mistake. painful, because with my team of officials we had been working well. in my world, the referees are the same as the goalkeepers. everybody has made a mistake. stephen craig says two months after the event, it is pathetic. with andy murray missing through injury, british attention at the australian open will focus onjohanna konta — she‘s been drawn to face the unseeded american, madison brengle in the first round, which starts on monday. the draw was made yesterday with roger federer, among the guests in melbourne. he‘ll start the defence of his title against aliash bedene, the former british number two, who now represents his native slovenia. maria sharapova, was also at the draw, despite receiving a drugs ban two years ago, while competing in this competition. london‘s o2 arena swapped beiber for basketball as the nba returned to london last night. the american basketball league is looking to expand its fanbase here and across europe, but say a full time franchise based in the uk is looking increasingly unlikey. this match saw a meeting of two of the eastern conferences most exciting teams, with the boston celtics eventually beating the philadelphia 76—ers by 114 points to 103. staying with american sports in the capital, and tottenham‘s hopes of starting the new season in their new white hart lane stadium have been boosted, after it was announced spurs‘ refurbished ground will host the first match of the nfl london series in 2018. seattle seahawks will play the oakland raiders at white hart lane in october, and the new stadium has special features so both football and american football will have their own playing surface, apparently. it has been my dream for a number of years to crate something special notjust for ourfans but for nrl fans and the local area and i believe nfl and premier league soccer together, it will be something unique in the world. we have got two pitches. the nfl pitch is the lower pitch. the premier league one one will go under the south stand. it will enable the nfl to have as many games as they want during that period. british bobsleigher bruce tasker, has been ruled out of competing, at next month‘s winter olympics, after suffering a minor stroke last week. tasker was due to compete in his second winter games in pyeongchang. he was taken to hospital on the 4th of january, after experiencing dizziness and nausea, but he is expected to make a full recovery, and resume his bobsleigh career by next season. and how about this for a good way to start off the golfing year for wales‘ jamie donaldson. this was his tee shot, at the par three 14th hole at the south africa open in edevale. and it went in for a hole in one. donaldson finished his round at two under par, five shots off the leader. finally, it‘s long been the stuff of myths and fairytales, but now mermaids and mermen, swimming with huge tailfins and competing in sport is growing in the uk.. until recently, pulling on a tail, was really only something, you could experience on holiday, like i did a few years ago, and when done properly it can make you 33 per—cent faster in the water. nnow there are mermaid and mermen academies in the uk and professionals here too..and this may, the uk will host the mer—lympics for the first time. i was way off the pace in this race. as well as racing there will be synchro swimming and agility races. iimagine you i imagine you need a very strong co re i imagine you need a very strong core to that. once you do put it on, it feels like you have a tail, instead of legs. your only good in the water. so floundering on the site? do you remember that tv series and the actor from dallas? site? do you remember that tv series and the actorfrom dallas? he site? do you remember that tv series and the actor from dallas? he was half man, half fish? the man from atla nta‘s ? half man, half fish? the man from atlanta‘s? it was. he could walk and sometimes he turned into a fish? i haven‘t made it up? sometimes he turned into a fish? i haven't made it up? so this is after your heart as well, this sport? haven't made it up? so this is after your heart as well, this sport7m was patrick duffy. thank you. england could be facing its worst flu season for seven years, that‘s based on the sharp rise in the number of cases gps have seen in the past week — up 78 per cent from last week. there are three main strains of flu this year — h3n2, h1n1, and flu b. the h3n2 strain is also known as ‘aussie flu‘, while the b strain is also known as ‘japanese flu‘ and is not covered by some vaccines. let‘s talk about this now with gp, dr rosemary leonard. these strains, no one cares what strain they have when they have the flu, it‘s just a strain they have when they have the flu, it‘sjust a rotten, book which is hurting us the most? the one that is hurting us the most? the one that is really common is the japanese strain, the b strain but we don‘t test that. they are only testing for it in hospital. the symptoms are very similar. what‘s interesting, the reason gps are busy, a lot of people know there is no treatment for flu but they don‘t realise they have the flu because they are expecting a bunged up nose, streaming cold, sore throat. what is happening is you hurt all over. you can‘t get out of bed in the morning because your arms and legs won‘t move. yourjoints feel as if you have arthritis. you feel poleaxed with tiredness. people are saying they don‘t know what is wrong but thatis they don‘t know what is wrong but that is the flu, along with a high fever. i was in my surgery frantically busy. i‘m going back today. if someone kim is in with those symptoms and you diagnose that you have the flu, there is nothing you have the flu, there is nothing you can do. the problem is, people and underlying medical digressions, they have chest infections, pneumonia which can have a secondary bacteria infection. for the vast majority, there is nothing we can do and allgps majority, there is nothing we can do and all gps have arguments. you must be able to do something! we don‘t, you just must rest. some patients are having arguments it is interesting. you have at some angry people in the surgery. they want antibiotics? they just don‘t understand there is nothing would you can do. i had to get a patient accompanied out of my room and even though i said it would be easy for me to give you a prescription, you would be out of here, i can see the next patient but it‘s not going to make you better. can you understand the frustration when people say, i had the flu jab and it‘s not protecting me. it was designed for aussie flu? it has as and a b. the childhood nasal one is protecting against the japanese b strain which is going around. the main back need —— the main vaccine is not protecting against the japanese one but that said, if you haven‘t had a flu jab, the young people with asthma, they are not coming up the jabs as much. pregnant women need to come in and get the jab. you could get b flu and then get the flu a week later. what is the message you are sending out? those in the act risk groups. go and get the vaccine if you are in an at risk group. though not the surgery and ask. if you think you have got the blue, he can you think you have got the blue, he ca n always you think you have got the blue, he can always burn your surgery for advice. wash your hands frequently. this is really boring but wash your hands. if you are hot desking at work, wiped the keyboard is down. use tissues and pin them. simple hygiene stuff. it can make a difference in stopping giving it to somebody else. it is coming up to 7:45a.m.. some somebody else. it is coming up to 7:45 a.m.. some breaking news. somebody else. it is coming up to 7:45a.m.. some breaking news. a large fire has broken out at nottingham railway station. these are the latest pictures. it‘s still dark out there. fire and rescue are saying they are dealing with a large incident. the station has been evacuated. east midland trains say all trains are cancelled and are expecting disruptions. a large cord and has been placed around the station for safety but obviously today, if you‘re planning to travel anywhere near or through the railway station, your plans. —— cordon. here is matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. good morning, both of you. good morning as well. the little is changing with the weather at the moment. some will see sunshine, for most the grey skies will remain. some morning mist and fog, even a bit of frost around. as we go through sunday night into monday there is a spell of wet and windy weather set to push across the country. that will bring a marked change in the next week. blue skies back at times but it will feel colder and there will be a little bit of sleet and snow as we see frequent showers pushing across the uk. afew frequent showers pushing across the uk. a few days away for the time being, but stuck with the grave for many. across parts of scotland, western fringes of england and wales, either side of free. that is because we have had too much cloud through the night. some dense patches of fog to start the day, and that will take awhile to shift. some issues on the morning commute. generally misty over the hills and a cloud in eastern england throughout the day quick enough —— thickener for the odd spot of light rain and drizzle. the sunshine will come out here and there, the best favoured for that parts of western wales, some in north—west england, and the far north of scotland. temperatures in the sunshine fairly similar, but the sunshine will make all the difference. where you have clear skies there could be a touch of frost around parts of northern scotla nd frost around parts of northern scotland best favoured. patchy rain and drizzle towards the east by turning wet across northern ireland for the night, and by the end of the night, maybe into the western fringes of scotland, pembrokeshire, and also in the west cornwall and the isles of scilly. keeping the temperature is up here, cool further east. into the weekend forecast, expect lots of cloud once again. maybe some brighter breaks the east of england compared with recent days. north—east scotland seeing sunshine. elsewhere cloudy conditions. rain on and off throughout the day in northern ireland, turning down the far west of scotland, wales, into devon, and for most of the further east you are should be fairly dry. the wind coming back off the continent, could be some frost to take us from saturday night in the sunday. in the sunday our weather front just decays in situ. the scotland and western parts of england and wales, cloudy, damp day on sunday. some brighter conditions towards the east of england expected but the breeze will freshen later on and here comes the wet and windy weather i mentioned. gales and severe gales could accompany a band of rain sweeping its way southwards andy swiss through sunday night in the first pa rt through sunday night in the first part of monday. some particularly lively bursts of rain on that, gusty winds as well, and follow the isobars all the way back into greenlands, northern parts of canada. much colder air set to push in next week. it will sweep away the greatness of the past few days, introducing a little bit of sunshine at times, but temperatures will drop and you will notice the wind chill more than anything else. strong to gale force winds through a good part of next week and that will bring in frequent showers, heavy hail and thunder, and as the air gets colder we expect some sleet and snow as well, especially across northern and western parts of the uk.” well, especially across northern and western parts of the uk. i will make two observations. for one, magnificent handwaving this morning. but also, getting pretty nippy, isn‘t it? but also, getting pretty nippy, isn't it? it is, yes. still in the throes of winter. you will notice that next week, especially in the wind. i thought he would give us an extra wave, but he has not risen to it. jazz hands! banks are thinking about sharing our information, and supposedly it will be better for us and we will get better deals from them. this is what ben is looking at. a lot of scepticism about the idea of sharing financial information. we should say first of all you have to agree to sherratt but also it is the idea of not needing to fill into a form every time you going to a different bank orfinancial time you going to a different bank or financial institution. it should make it easier to move around and be more fickle when it comes to things like banking apps. the way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever. it is called open banking and it is the biggest shakeup in a generation. so why, and what does it mean for us? well, for years, our high street banks have dominated the market for savings and current accounts. most of us stay with the same bank for decades, and so the regulator wants to make it easier to shop around, creating more competition. we could save nearly £100 a year just by switching banks, and even more if you regularly use a loan, overdraft or mortgage. but, at the moment, there are too many forms to fill in each time we want to sign up to something new. so new eu rules mean big banks will be forced to share our information, if we ask them to, so we can sign up to new deals, switch accounts, or get better interest rates at the click of a button. butjust how safe is it? well, when you sign up for a new product, you will be asked if you want your financial data to be shared, and who you want to share it with. the first thing is bringing all our accou nts the first thing is bringing all our accounts into one place, so i might look on a smartphone or banking app and see not just look on a smartphone or banking app and see notjust the current account from that bank at other products and services that i might have as well, a credit card or loan and overdraft, for example. the third one will be around financial management, and that will be things like overdraft alerts, for example. better products which are more suited to me, and the ability to switch to those products as well. but how safe is it? well, it won‘t be if you don‘t agree to it. but not everybody is convinced by the changes. a recent survey found that the majority of consumers are sceptical about sharing their financial data. one of the biggest concerns is security. people will be sharing sensitive financial data. third parties, perhaps brands you have never heard of, will be able to take a real peek into your current account and look at where you spend, your habits and your vices, and do you feel comfortable sharing that? of course there is the risk that that data could go astray or it could be intercepted by fraudsters, and they would really hold the keys to your financial life. remember, you have to give your permission before anyone can see your data. all this officially begins tomorrow, but only a small number of the banks say they are ready for the changes. others have been given more time. credit card companies, mortgage firms and insurers will all sign up soon, too, so you might not notice any big changes just yet. but the changes are coming, and the revolution starts tomorrow. would you try this behind us? if you visit thirlmere, in the lake district, you might soon get a chance to. a consultation on building a new zip wire across the reservoir there ends today. developers say it will encourage tourism, but conservationists aren‘t happy, as brea kfast‘s graham satchell reports. hidden in the trees next to lake windermere, a zip wire. keir and will are about to go down for the first time. i booked this for his birthday. he 20 tomorrow. —— he is 20 tomorrow. would you normally come to the lakes, anyway? we haven‘t been before, no. go! bringing new people to the lakes is just one reason. treetop trek want to build one more zip wire half an hour at the road, at thirlmere. so you can‘t really do this story without actually having a go. so here we go. one, two, three! so the people behind this new zip wire say it will create 15 newjobs, and should create £600,000 for the economy, and there should be 50,000 people a year using it. it is about getting outdoors, doing something you wouldn‘t normally do, challenging yourself. and i think the more people we can encourage to get outdoors, and to get up into the fells and to get around the lakes, the better. the plans would see four wires going across the water one way, at thirlmere, a quick trek, and then four wires going back to the other side. and this is thirlmere — breathtaking, majestic, serene, and surprising. it is surprising because, actually, most of what you can see here is man—made. the trees, for example, were planted in the early 19005. and the water is not a lake, it is a reservoir, built in the 18905 to supply water to manchester, which it still does today. there was a huge row, when this reservoir was built, between industrialists and city folk to the south and a group of locals, including the poet and philosopher john ruskin, who many consider to be the founding father of modern conservationists. ruskin lost the first battle of thirlmere. but the group he was part of, now called the friends of the lakes district, is determined not to lose this one. i love getting out, getting away from it all. and i think having all these visitors here will spoil that, will spoil the landscape. zip wires have a place, but not in this landscape, and certainly not across an expanse of open water. i‘ve been on one. you do scream, you can‘t help it. it would just be awful to have that here, when you come here for peaceful walks in nature. what do you thinkjohn ruskin would have made of your zip wire proposal? i have absolutely no idea whatsoever. but we shouldn‘t be afraid of words like "thrill" and "fun." they should go hand—in—hand with words like "peace" and "serenity." these pictures show what it might be like to go on the proposed new zip wire. there is a big question here. should the lake district be opened up to more people who wouldn‘t normally come, or should it be left in peace, as it is? one thing is not in question, it is a stunningly beautiful place.” haven‘t been there for a long time and am planning to go very soon. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good

now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday it was very damp, drizzly and murky. it‘s a similar sort of morning today. a very uninspiring start, but i‘m hopeful that we should see something a bit brighterform as we head into the afternoon. so we‘re beginning the morning off on around 5—6 degrees celsius. not too chilly, but there could be a few early fog patches around, and a few spots of drizzle, particularly out towards western areas, where they may continue as we head into the afternoon. but further east of that line, the cloud should thin and break. we‘ll get some brighter spells, top temperatures between 7—9 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, the breeze will pick up a touch, so mist and fog not too much of an issue into tomorrow morning. a few spots of rain, low cloud around again. lows of 4—5 degrees celsius. now, temperatures will go down a touch over the course of the weekend. a lot of cloud around — mostly dry, some brighter spells at times. turning windy by the end of sunday, and then it‘s a wet start to the new working week. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. donald trump abandons plans to visit britain next month. he was planning to visit next month despite planned protests. in the past

companies to get better deals. i‘ll explain all you need to know. heartbreak on the eyes for british bobsled star who is out of the winter olympics after suffering a minor stroke. the good news is that he is expected to make a full recovery. and: as the queen marks 65 years since her coronation, for the first time her majesty lifts the lid on what life is like when you have to wear a heavy crown. you cannot look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did your neck would break! f°99y foggy and frosty for some but many

donald trump has confirmed he won‘t visit britain next month. in the past couple of hours the us president tweeted that he had cancelled the planned visit as he didn‘t want to open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, barack obama. danjohnson has the story. after nearly 60 years flying above london‘s grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered ready for the opening of the new us embassy. it‘s billion—dollar building on the southbank and donald trump was due to open it next month. now we know he won‘t and early this morning, he posted his reasons on twitter: but did the prospect of protests like this also put him off? this was the response to his ban on travellers from certain muslim countries. a petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him. it shouldn‘t be a state visit because it would be embarrassing to the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon. but then the president strained the special relationship by sharing online far—right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may condemned, he then retorted. just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and he is coming to this country? he will be coming to the country. the foreign secretary denied the queen would be embarrassed. i think her majesty the queen is capable of taking this american president or any american president in her stride, as she has done over six remarkable decades. let‘s be clear. opening this place was never the same as a state visit. it would have been a shorter, less formal trip. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year, but no date has been set. the president is denying this decision is down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foul—mouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn‘t growing. our correspondent, john donnison is outside the american embassy for us this morning. good morning, donald trump making no reference to potential protests over here, he says it‘s all about the rather magnificent building behind you. that's right, this is the "off" location as donald trump described it and this is what $1 billion get you. one of the workers told me it‘s more like £1 billion, it has come in over budget. some of those workers a bit bemused by all the attention. we have heard it was cancelled from donald trump‘s perspective. talking toa number of donald trump‘s perspective. talking to a number of sources and several told us it was cancelled because of concerns about possible demonstrations. another source said it was because the president did not wa nt to it was because the president did not want to travel to europe again so soon after the davos summit. sources did say it was not because of those strained relations we were hearing about in the report from dan johnson. for the moment, thank you very much. we urge we are hearing that a large fire has broken out at nottingham railway station. nottinghamshire fire and rescue say they‘re dealing with a ‘large incident‘ with eight appliances in attendance. the station has been evacuated. a statement from east midlands trains seeing emergency services have been called, no reports of injuries to customers or staff and east midlands trains say they will continue to assist in the emergency services however they can. advice for any would—be travels is that no trains will be stopping at the station and till further notice and the advice to customers is to not travel to or travel from nottingham station. passengers advised to check with east midlands trains. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff are unable to save her life. there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen by gp‘s, 5000 people admitted to hospital with flu in the first week of january. people admitted to hospital with flu in the first week ofjanuary. this winter has proved tougher than any previous. we as doctors put patient ca re previous. we as doctors put patient care at the centre of our focus and it is our number one priority. this winter we have seen an unprecedented levels that care being compromised, delays in treatment, not being able to see patients in a timely manner. we decided it was time to speak up and raise our concerns. the role played by the media is to be examined by the manchester arena bombing inquiry. 22 people were killed at the end of an ariana grande concert last may. some families who used social media to appeal for information about missing relatives found themselves subjected to intrusive attention. judith moritz reports. the manchester arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were lost. many more were changed forever. the attack made international headlines and that meant there was huge media interest in the stories of those most closely affected. they included the family of martin one of those killed in the blast. martin had a large social media following and had previously been on tv. possibly as a result of his family found themselves in the spotlight from almost the very moment they heard about the explosion. and before the new martin did. it seems a bit distasteful really. how can anybody be so cruel and go and say sorry for your loss? we did not find a officially until that evening he was dead. mirror an independent panel will consider the way the media covered the stories of the bereaved and entered. the kerslake review the bereaved and entered. the kersla ke review panel will also recommend that public organisations adopt a charter which uses lessons learned from the hillsborough disaster. it states that the bereaved and vulnerable should be treated with respect and put first by those responding to such public tragedies. jewellery worth millions of euros that was stolen from the ritz hotel in paris have been recovered after one of the theives dropped his bag whilst trying to escape. three men armed with axes were arrested after being blocked inside the building on wednesday evening. two accomplices waiting outside on mopeds escaped — but dropped a bag containing all the jewellery after crashing into pedestrians. the weather and sports coming up a little later on. the queen has spoken candidly about her memories of her coronation ahead of her 65th anniversary on the throne in a rare interview to be broadcast by the bbc. speaking to the royal commentator alastair bruce, her majesty describes the weight of the crown and being uncomfortable in the carriage she travelled in. alastair willjoin us in a moment, but first here‘s our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. she famously doesn‘t do interviews. this is probably as close as she will get. a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crownjewels and the imperial state crown worn by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately my father and i have about the same sort of shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it just remains itself. you have to keep your head very still. yes, and you can‘t look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they‘re quite important things. she rode her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four tonnes. it‘s not built for comfort. horrible. it‘s not meant for travelling in at all. it‘s only sprung on leather. so it rocks around a lot? not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? i rode around london. really? we must have gone four orfive miles. you can only go at walking pace. the horses couldn‘t possibly go any faster. it‘s so heavy. 65 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation. the crown, the real one. nicholas witchell, bbc news. alastair bruce, who spoke with the queen, joins us now from our southampton studio. good morning, thank you for talking to us, what was it like talking to the queen about these things?m to us, what was it like talking to the queen about these things? it was an enormous privilege, such a joy after 22 years of planning the possibility and then getting the chance to film the crown jewels for the first time. they belong to us and giving a chance of our production to tell the story to the united kingdom. then having the queen herself explain the story was lovely. how many years in the planning? 22 years. why did it take so long? as a young lad i made a com plete so long? as a young lad i made a complete set of replicas out of the clay and has played them at school. a friend of mine at school have been working on this for 22 years and have been asking and now the royal collection have given permission and the queen also, to mark the 65th anniversary. did it live up to expectations? hugely, it was a huge honour to go into the tower of london on treating sick of night and film with some of the most precise commitment equipment in the world. thenin commitment equipment in the world. then in october when we went to buckingham palace. the queen to talk about it, it is very exciting. what was she like? she was unbelievably charming to me. she has a delightful sense of humour without in any way undermining the importance and role of the crown jewels to her and all of the crown jewels to her and all of us. she made it very accessible to understand what exactly like to wear a crown and what it meant to her to have this five lbs crown on her to have this five lbs crown on her head. it was made for king charles ii in 1662, 1661, so long time ago. so doesn't it fit her head if it was made for a man? no, it was made for a bewigged head of a great king from the past but a frame was made with it. imagine five lbs in wait, that is a lot of bags of sugar and she was 27 which one must remember. we saw the pictures of the crime being brought into the room and a gentleman of white gloves, does she touch it or is she respectfully leaving it be? three people are allowed to touch, the archbishop of canterbury, the other of course is the queen. and the crown jewel is the third person. the queen was interested because it was the first time she had touched that crown since she was crowned with it in 1953 so she did sort of tappet and take hold of it. how long did you have to talk to her? an hour and a half, it was really special. in the middle of an afternoon. the team worked really ha rd the middle of an afternoon. the team worked really hard and ijust had the privilege of spending a peaceful time helping the queen reflect upon our memories. you mentioned at the beginning of the interview that she was quite frank and open, funny as well. the programme is on on sunday evening, what can you give us, give usa evening, what can you give us, give us a snippet which tells us the things you spoke about?” us a snippet which tells us the things you spoke about? i think what is most exciting is that the crown ‘s belong to us and they are probably the best—known set of national symbols in the world but the least understood and i think it‘s because the queen understands how important they are to us all that she‘s helped us start the process with the royal collection of making the royal collection of crown jewels better understood to the whole of the night king. not many others get to meet the queen. where are you surprised by how candid she was?” queen. where are you surprised by how candid she was? i think the queen had decided what she wanted to talk about. i could not ask any direct questions, so i made comments on the queen picked up on what she wa nted on the queen picked up on what she wanted to say. she said it with great delight. she was terribly funny, i think. great delight. she was terribly funny, ithink. and great delight. she was terribly funny, i think. and very good at explaining and remembering things that had happened a long time ago. there is an interesting story behind the crown, when it was buried, in windsor, what happened there? king george vi, the queen‘s windsor, what happened there? king george vi, the queen ‘5 father, was worried about what would happen to the crown jewels if britain was invaded. in the second world war, the danger of that was very great. he had them taken to windsor castle from the tower. a library in doubt about the principal stones and wrap them in tissue paper and put them in a ten. i remember these biscuit tins. and they were just easily hidden in a way that you could run away with them. they were placed underneath the ground and windsor castle. i don‘t think anyone would know where to look. what was the sense you feel as the queen reflects on those years? i think the queen has achieved a most remarkable reign. and because the united kingdom hasn‘t had a correlation for so long, we don‘t understand the significance of the crown jewels so long, we don‘t understand the significance of the crownjewels and what is lovely about these symbols, they‘re a good guidance to a monarch but also to anyone in a position of leadership, whether running a garage ona leadership, whether running a garage on a motorway or a shop at the corner of the street. if you learn to hold the sceptre of kingly power with a glove, which is a tradition in this country, started by ed woodward, the confessor, then reminds you of power and what more beautiful way to remind people to be gentle in the use of power. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. ‘the coronation‘ is on bbc one this sunday at 8pm. fascinating. because it is first—hand and it is what she is saying. here‘s matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. it should be enough time to tell you weather is changing. some mist and fog. there will be sunshine. on sunday night, expect wet and windy weather. blue skies returning more likely. it will feel colder. and a change in thejet stream, it is rushing out of the us and canada and then we have this big undulating pattern across the atlantic. never quite reaching us. but come sunday night, thatjet strea m but come sunday night, thatjet stream rushes towards us and that will help to engineer a change. for many this morning, misty and damp. f°99y many this morning, misty and damp. foggy conditions across western england and wales in particular. frosty in a few spots in the west. once that is gone, some sunshine for west wales, north—west england and the north of scotland. for most, predominantly cloudy. a chance of rain in the east. temperatures feeling better. a southerly air flow across the country tonight. some frost in northern scotland. a weather front trying to bring about change. it will be a slow process. it will trundle eastwards, gradually pushing across west wales. the heaviest of the rain is on exposed hills. the southern portion of the brecon beacons and into the southern uplands later. the odd spot of drizzle. a cool night for saturday and sunday. a touch of frost, maybe, patchy rain and drizzle, the best of any sunny breaks towards the east. the change comes later. rather cold on sunday but wet and windy weather. the jet stream will push that band of heavy rain, severe gale force, right across the country into monday. the isobars go all the way up monday. the isobars go all the way up into greenland, originating in canada, so much colder air to come. next week, after that wet start to monday, a good deal brighter, strong to gale force winds will feed frequent showers. some may contain sleet and snow. if you are fed up with these great conditions, like this picture shows, things are about to change. thank you very much. we have been hearing that a large fire has broken out at nottingham railway station. fire and rescue say they are dealing with a large incident. eight appliances are in attendance. east midlands trains a all trains through the station cancelled expect disruptions for the rest of the morning. let‘s get the latest from bbc radio nottinghamhaley compton. what are you seeing? good morning. i can see at least nine police and fire engines at the moment on one side of the train station. that is on queen street. all of the roads around the train station have been blocked. there are passengers thinking they‘re going to get their trains and then are completely bemused by the fact that the street is just bemused by the fact that the street isjust a bemused by the fact that the street is just a scene of blue flashing lights at the moment. there are lots of fire fighters, picking up helmets, speaking to each other, changing shifts, and lots of people from east midlands trains, they‘re turning people away and directing them to a coach service on the other side of the street. at the moment, i have been told there is most sign anyone has been injured and no fatalities to report at this moment. i have spoken to people living across the road from the train station and apparently at 6:30am, there were thick plumes of black smoke coming out of the train station because of unconfirmed reports of a fire in one of the toilets on the platform. maybe we can return to the pictures, we were showing these earlier, it is hard to get a sense of the scale of the blaze but from this camera angle, it clearly a significant fire? well, yes, at the moment, from the side of the train station i am at, a p pa re ntly the train station i am at, apparently the plumes were very high in the air, people could see it, it is being masked at the moment by... inaudible no indication so far because the fire service is still in control of this incident. i hope to speak to the incident commander in charge of what is going on at the moment but clearly there will be no one coming in or out of the train station for a long time today. we believe that there. if you‘re planning on travelling in nottingham, please check locally about how it affect you. apparently, banks want to share our details and thatis banks want to share our details and that is supposed to be good for us? yes, rather than fill in a form, if you share information, they can fill out these forms automatically. the way that we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever. the revolution starts tomorrow, we‘re told, you can ask your bank to share your details with other companies. it is designed to give you a better deal and make it easier to switch accou nts deal and make it easier to switch accounts and move money without having to fill in long and laborious forms. we should be clear, banks will only do that if you agree to it and you can stipulate how long you wa nt to and you can stipulate how long you want to share that information. elsewhere, the future of building contractor, carillion hangs in the balance amid fears it‘s close to collapse. another crisis meeting will be held today after talks this week ended without a deal on its massive pension deficit. carillion is the uk‘s second largest construction company and employs 43,000 around the world. it‘s involved in all sorts of government building contracts including the hs2 rail line. facebook boss mark zuckerberg says the social media site will reduce clutter from the site — after criticism that there are too many adverts and promoted posts from businesses. he says he wants to prioritise what he calls ‘meaningful social interactions‘ and felt a responsibility to make sure facebook was good for people‘s wellbeing. and a british satellite has been blasted into orbit on an indian rocket to make full—colour, high—definition videos of earth. rather than still images that are currently the norm, the satellite will be able to record moving objects like cars or ships and could be used for everything from monitoring traffic to helping rescuers after natural disasters. we‘ll speak to the boss of the british company behind the satellite just after 8:30am. we will be speaking to the chief executive later. it is about the detail you can see. executive later. it is about the detailyou can see. it is executive later. it is about the detail you can see. it is the idea that it detail you can see. it is the idea thatitis detail you can see. it is the idea that it is high—definition and a video rather than still images. natural disasters, it will help rescuers, traffic monitoring, fascinating. and business opportunities as well. thanks very much. we will also be speaking to nigel farage shortly. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. change in the weather as we go through to next week but in the meantime this morning is misty and murky, patches of fog to be aware of. into the afternoon it will stay largely cloudy, mostly dry. i say mostly because patches of rain and drizzle affecting eastern areas of england, that‘ll work west, might see some drizzle later on. towards south—west england, wales, north—west england some patches of fog around and after a cold start that will clear, sunny spells breaking through, best of the sunshine in the far north—west of scotland. through this evening and night we will continue with patchy rain and drizzle, still quite a bit of cloud, hill fog around as well and then into the early hours of saturday morning this area of rain will move its way into northern ireland, the far west of wales and the south—west of england. you notice those temperatures staying above freezing so a frost free start to the weekend. for the weekend itself it will be mostly cloudy, the rain in the west, that will be sticking around and western areas, some rain at times and breezy start the weekend. that breeze coming in from the size with rain affecting northern ireland, wales and the south—west of england into the west of scotla nd south—west of england into the west of scotland as well. it will not move forfrom of scotland as well. it will not move for from these western areas but in the east the odd shower here and there, a few breaks in the cloud perhaps developing but the theme is cloudy weather and temperatures of about 5—9dc. by sunday that weather front, has pretty much cleared away. it will become driver many on sunday, some brighter skies but the next area of rain spread into scotla nd next area of rain spread into scotland and northern ireland, strengthening south—westerly and as it cruised through sunday night into monday it will turn much colder. more details on the website. this is business live from bbc news with jamie robertson and samantha simmonds. open banking is set to shake up the way we bank — but will you be happy with tech companies looking after your financial data in the future? live from london, that‘s our top story on friday 12 january. the open banking revolution. new rules will give consumers control of their own financial data — making shopping around easier — and challenging the power of the big banks. also in the programme: facebook has announced big changes to how its news feed works. with the aim of making posts from businesses, brands and media less prominent.

officials say four children are among the 17 people confirmed to have been killed. the way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever and it starts tomorrow. it's called open banking and means you'll be able to ask your bank to share your details with other companies to get better deals. i'll explain all you need to know. in sport, it's too late to make any difference, but the referee, who awarded a controversial penalty which eventually cost northern ireland their world cup play—off against switzerland, has now admitted, he made a mistake. and as the queen marks 65 years since her coronation, for the first time her majesty lifts the lid on what life is like when you have to wear a crown. you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. today, misty and frosty. details on that in your weekend forecast a news on even cold weather on the way next week. that is next. in the last hour donald trump has confirmed he won't visit britain next month. the us president tweeted that he had cancelled the planned visit as he didn't want open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, ba rack obama. danjohnson has got the latest. after nearly 60 years flying above london's grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered this week, ready for the opening of the new us embassy. it is a $1 billion building on the southbank, and donald trump was due to officially open it next month. is it because it would be embarrassed the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon but then, the president strained at the special relationship by sharing on line far right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may command —— condemned, he even retorted. just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and she has done over six remarkable decades. at opening this place was never the same as a state visit. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year. the president is denying this decision was down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing. we can talk now to our north america corrspondent, peter bowes who is in our los angeles studio. what has donald trump been tweeting. the tweet came out at about midnight east coast time. essentially he is saying that he did not want to be associated with a decision that half —— harks back to the obama administration, that the decision was a bad decision as he put it, a bad deal and he didn't want to cut the ribbon. it is interesting because i have here a press release from the us embassy which is dated the second of october 2008. before the second of october 2008. before the president was elected into office. announcing this new embassy on the southbank in london. it says the new embassy will close —— serve asa the new embassy will close —— serve as a catalyst to the regeneration of the area. it was a decision made before president obama. there is a lot more that we will hear about this controversy. another one the president has been involved in. some very tough language that he has been using, uncouth language many would say in terms of the debate about immigration. it is caused a huge row this year ‘s. he said whiley having these people from these countries? he used a crude expression to describe katie, el salvador and other countries. what do we want all these people from africa here? —— haiti. we should have people from places like norway. the nigel farage has clarified remarks he made yesterday calling for a second eu referendum. the former ukip leader has said although another vote was the "last thing" he wanted, he thought it might be forced on the country by parliament. our political correspondent eleanor garnierjoins us now from westminster. no longer an no longeran mp, no longer an mp, nigel bharucha. but his words resonate with amy. certainly, the idea of a second referendum is not in nigel farage's gift but it seems like an unlikely alliance. nigel farage, the man instrumental in getting that referendum, his long fought referendum, his long fought referendum to leave the eu, agreeing with remain campaigners who believe the referendum should be revisited. we had some labour mps, liberal democrats agreeing with nigel farage. the former leader, nick clegg, tweeted i agree with nigel. his motivations for another vote are different from those who want to keep open the option of staying in the eu. he believes that there was another boat, people would back brexit and it would end the moaning of the whingeing of some of the remain campaigners. the nick clegg and tony blair types, they will never give up. they will go on whingeing and whining and moaning. maybe, just maybe, we should have a second referendum on eu membership. the whole thing? of course. i think if we had a second referendum, we could make it for a generation. he said he was clarifying his remarks and the second referendum was the last thing he wanted but parliament might demand one so brexit supporters should be prepared for one last battle. whatever the result, because opinion polls are not clear on what it would be, other brexit supporters have not agree with him. the current ukip leader said it would undermine the fabric of our democratic intervals. number ten has rejected the idea, saying the british people had made their decision. thank you for explaining all that. we will talk to nigel farage about this. he is on the programme at 830. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her. in england, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen by gps — up 78% from last week. police have released the names of 17 people — including four children — who are confirmed to have died in a mudslide which struck a small town in southern california. all of the dead were residents of montecito. there's confusion about how many people are missing with one official estimate putting the figure as high as a3. our north america correspondent james cook reports. in montecito, the authorities insist they are still in rescue mode but they are still in rescue mode but the chances of finding anyone alive are now slim. police have released the names of the first victims to be identified. they include for children aged three, six, ten and 12. and the number of people missing may be higher than first thought. we certainly hope there are going to be far fewer than that. we certainly hope there are going to be farfewer than that. we hope certainly hope there are going to be far fewer than that. we hope there is not going to be any more but realistically we suspect we are going to continue to have discovery of people who were killed. questions are now being asked about whether this area should have been evacuated. nowell fled with her two childrenjust evacuated. nowell fled with her two children just before the storm but many of my neighbours did not. this is like a warzone here. there are homes that are just missing and i walked down the street and i see balls and toys and bicycles and shoes and socks. the storm didn't just strike on the pacific coast. this was a surreal scene in the la suburb of burbank is a mudslide swept downhill. but the damage in —— montecito was far worse. the mudslide came roaring down here, sweeping are before it and if you wa nt to sweeping are before it and if you want to know how houses can be swept from their foundations so easily, this is the answer. just look at the size of the boulders that were pushed down from the mountains. rain was not the only cause of this carnage. the debris was watched —— washed down of mountains stripped bare

crown. her majesty doesn't normally do interviews, but she spoke to the royal commentator alastair bruce as part of an upcoming bbc programme marking the 65th anniversary of the ceremony. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she famously doesn't do interviews. this is probably as close as she will get. a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crown jewels and the imperial state crown jewels and the imperial state crown warned by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately my father and i have about the same shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it remains itself. you have to keep your head very still. yes, and you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they are quite important things. she wrote her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four times. it's not built for. horrible. it's not meant for travelling in at all. certainly strung on leather. so it rocks around a lot? not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? i wrote around london. really? we must have gone for five miles. you wrote around london. really? we must have gone forfive miles. you can only go at walking pace. the horses couldn't possibly go any faster. it's so heavy. 65 years later, a monarch talking about her coronation. the crown, the real one. you can watch the coronation on bbc one at eight o'clock this evening. we will talk to alistair admitted later. a conversation with questions. it wasn't an interview. what have you got fries this morning? do you remember a famous incident last november? northern ireland felt really hard done by when a penalty was awarded against them when it wasjudged that when a penalty was awarded against them when it was judged that cory evans had acted like that? i threw a ball at you at the time. a lot of anger about that. it cost northern ireland a place in the world cup. now, the referee awarded that penalty which cost them so much has admitted he made a mistake. romanian referee ovidiu hategan, has accepted that his handball decision against corry evans was wrong. ricardo rodriguez's penalty, was the only goal in the two legs, as switzerland booked a world cup spot. tottenham's new stadium will host an, american football game, for the first time, when the seattle seahawks play the oakland raiders, in october. it'll be the first, of three, n.f.l games staged in london this year. british bobsleigher

season. and it's been a good start to 2018, for wales' jamie donaldson. he got this hole—in—one during his opening round at the south africa open yesterday. that was a good shot, wasn't it? just a bit. fabulous. we will take a look at the papers. sorry about the rustling noises, we are getting sorted out. let's take a look at the front page of the times, it is taking a look at the flu problems, thousands more patients went to hospital with the flu last week. cases have risen by half and there are renewed calls for compulsory vaccinations for frontline nhs staff. the queen returning to buckingham palace after her coronation, and she has been talking about the weight of wearing that crown. we will be talking to a royal commentator who has been talking to the queen. and on quite a few papers, this is bethany walker, who died despite being airlifted to hospital when she first became ill with the flu. we are hearing a lot more about people who have been affected by that. the daily mail also picturing bethany walker. its main story takes a look at donald trump cancelling his visit to britain for an embassy opening, amid two fears. he will not be made welcome, and he has tweeted in the last hour or so that he wasn't happy about the positioning of the us embassy which was put out, all was constructed under president obama's administration. and on the front page of the mirror, if you are confused about nigel farage's comments, initially suggesting he wa nted comments, initially suggesting he wanted a second referendum, he has clarified to a degree saying he thinks there is an air of inevitability. it is not something he seeks, a second referendum on the eu votes, but we will be speaking to nigel farage so we can hear what he says for himself. that is coming up at about 8:30am this morning. how many times can we talk about brexit ina many times can we talk about brexit in a week, do you think?” many times can we talk about brexit in a week, do you think? i dread to think what to many! what is the issue this week? different industries are jostling for position as far as brexit is concerned, be at the car industry, retail. yesterday theresa may had a lot of bank bosses to downing street to talk about the future they would have in the new eu relationship. in the financial times this morning, theresa may to prioritise city in brexit talks. that will anger a low of people, as there is anger point that are city in terms of the financial crisis and its role in it. it is one of our biggest exports, though, and a huge employer of staff in the uk. a lot of people saying these deals are all done behind closed doors and if you look at the front of the telegraph this morning, this big picture tells you all you need to know, fingers on lips, not giving anything away, and the suggestion that all of these deals are too secretive and many people wanting to know what exactly theresa may has agreed with the bank losses as far as brexit talks are concerned. talking of deals, there isa concerned. talking of deals, there is a lot of talk about the transfer from arsenal of alexis sanchez, it looks like he is going to manchester, we thought manchester city but a lot of papers saying manchester united are planning to huack manchester united are planning to hijack that deal, but other papers disputing that, saying no way, jose. a p pa re ntly disputing that, saying no way, jose. apparently he has turned down manchester united and has his heart set on going to manchester city. far more important is that in saudi arabia tonight women will be able to go to arabia tonight women will be able to gotoa arabia tonight women will be able to go to a football match for the first time, which is pretty incredible, isn't it? one friend says she has been waiting since she was ten years old and doesn't really know how to explain how she is feeling today. this is the passion of saudi women ata this is the passion of saudi women at a foot or game in full when saudi arabia played australia, because they were allowed to go to that match in london, but until tonight they have not been allowed to go inside a football stadium. they could watch it on tv, but that will all change. are they sitting in the stand amongst men?” all change. are they sitting in the stand amongst men? i think there are segregated areas for now, at least, but at least they are in. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather. it was really foggy yesterday, has that cleared up? no, same again today. if you are fed up with great, i have news of changes on the way. foremost, a grey start to the day. lots of cloud and some fog as well across western dense patches of fog. you may go from good visibility to bad visibility in a short space of time. and frost where the sky is clear, in northern fringes of england and wales, temperatures above freezing, too much cloud to have dropped overnight, but relentless grey skies for the vast majority. mist and fog across western areas will take awhile to if it does at all. the cloud thickener finny scenarios for patchy light rain and drizzle. parts of western wales, north—west england and into scotla nd wales, north—west england and into scotland will clear up, we will see sunshine yet again, but sunshine or cloud, temperatures around where they should be this time of year. around seven to nine degrees. always feeling better where you have the sunny conditions. in the tonight, some patchy drizzle across eastern areas. most places will be driver time but through the night, gradually turning letter from the west in northern ireland. the same in the far west of wales and also across cornwall. breezy conditions with it. temperatures about six or seven degrees and the chance of a touch of frost and some clearer spots elsewhere. northern scotland the best of that into saturday morning. for many, as we go into the weekend, grey skies for many. northern and eastern parts of scotland, maybe eastern parts of england, as the breeze picks up, a damp day. in northern ireland, not clearing until later on. turning letter during the afternoon the part of western scotland, much of western wales, cornwall and then into parts of devon as well. temperatures fairly similarto of devon as well. temperatures fairly similar to today's values. saturday night our weather front grinds to a halt. we have wind is coming in from either direction. it just fizzles out to bring a rather damp day across parts of scotland, western england and wales. patchy, light rain and drizzle. further east a chilly start, but brightening up as the breeze starts to pick up during the day. by the end of the day, wet and windy across parts of western scotland and northern ireland. from saturday night in the monday we will see wet and windy weather. gales and severe gales sweeping its way eastwards. as that departs monday and into the end of next week, the rest of next week, low pressure to the east of iceland dominating things. firing down some pretty cold they are all way from greenland. so if you are fed up with the grey and fog, some colder conditions to go with it, but clearing, may be severe gales for one or two, and frequent showers, heavy with hail and thunder, and also some sleet and snow as well. but at least if you have had it a bit grey, a change coming. let's return to our main story, and the news that donald trump has abandoned his plans to visit britain next month. let's discuss this in more detail now with john tonge, who is a politics professor at the university of liverpool. it was a day of wavering in westminster yesterday. first, nigel farage suggested he would like a second referendum on leaving the eu. then he said, actually, he didn't. he has a way about his tweets, particularly. this happened in the last hour and a quarter, around midnight, we are told, he has put this one on twitter. what do you make of his explanation for not coming? he didn't waste any opportunity to criticise the previous administration. he says it was an unnecessary sale of the previous embassy and all obama's fault. that has been a consistent theme for donald trump, he has tried to reverse a lot of what barack obama did. it will be a relief to many in the uk. critics will say one visit is enough to the uk, and let's remember the state visit is still on. it will probably happen sometime next autumn. this is the cancellation of the embassy opening visit, which i suppose you could say in terms of the special relationship that might be a bit embarrassing, but frankly there will be an awful lot of relief, i think, in the british government. the level of security which is required for a presidential visit will be colossal and there are bound to be processed, and there are bound to be processed, and frankly you don't want that. you might even put off the state visit had it gone wrong with the opening of the embassy. should we read much into it in terms of the relationship, or take it that donald trump doesn't want anything to do with the old administration, and it is the politics of the us and not internationally? welcome offer all the bluster, i don't think they have really developed a relationship. there has been friction over the britain first retweet, and the response from the american administration was very, very sharp indeed. so things have been frosty. there is no sun on the horizon with this trade deal which britain wants to co m plete this trade deal which britain wants to complete with the uk fairly quickly. all the talk of the special relationship, i don't think there is one at the moment with the trump administration. so are the sort of vaguely connected, nigel farage, claiming to be pals with donald trump. we will speak to him later, because he has been clarifying some comments he made. could there be another referendum ? comments he made. could there be another referendum? here sort of saying that he feels there is a sense of inevitability about it, if for no other reason than to shut down those voices from elsewhere. do you want to talk us through what mechanisms they could be for another referendum? i think it is inconceivable there would be another referendum of simply remain versus leave. the call from nigel farage, although he has backtracked from it somewhat, i don't think that is politically tenable. both parties have ruled that out categorically. what might happen is that if the eu offers us an unacceptable trade deal the westminster parliament could vote that down. and then we are not in the eu land, we are not in the single market land, not in the customs unit land, and then what do we do? do we go back to the european union and seek a better deal? and at some point, do we put the terms of that deal to the british people? so they could be a second referendum on they could be a second referendum on the terms of any deal. if the uk parliament says the deal that the eu is offering is not good enough, then at some point the people may be entitled to on whether what the eu is offering is good enough. so i wouldn't rule out a second referendum, but it won't be a straightforward remain versus leave. it is not as simple as that. you simply cannot rerun what happened on 23june simply cannot rerun what happened on 23 june 2016. simply cannot rerun what happened on 23 june 20 16. always good to have you on the sofa, thank you very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm victoria hollins. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it is the third strike this week in a dispute with the rmt union over the role of guards. south—western railway says it hopes to run about 70% of services, but passengers travelling on the network, including out of waterloo station, are likely to face delays or disruption. a teenager will appear in court later charged with the murder of a shop worker in mill hill. vijay patel, a father—of—four, was assaulted at the rota express convenience store in the broadway on saturday night, and died the following day. a 16—year—old

i came here just i came herejust before i came here just before christmas, andi i came here just before christmas, and i came here on my own early one morning, and i just and i came here on my own early one morning, and ijust sat in one of the rooms, and i wasjust so proud of the transformation. because, on the whole, it looks the same, and nothing has been displaced. everything is still in place, all the wood panelling and all of that. but it has got such... itjust has such an amazing uplift, and it is just the i am just so proud of it. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning. however, the london overground has no service from gospel oak to barking, because of engineering works. on the roads, the a13 slow moving westbound from dagenham to barking — the usual delays. in spitalfield, commercial street is partially blocked southbound, near to brushfield street, because a manhole has collapsed. chelsea embankment is closed westbound for roadworks between chelsea bridge and battersea bridge. let's have a check on the weather now. hello, good morning. it was a grey, damp, drizzly day yesterday and we are starting off this morning on a similar uninspiring note. but there will be something brighter, i am quite hopefulfor will be something brighter, i am quite hopeful for that, will be something brighter, i am quite hopefulfor that, as we head into the afternoon, particularly towards the scenarios. but to begin with, lots of low cloud around. some misty, murky conditions. a bit of hill fog over the downs and the chilterns and a few spots of drizzle. just towards western areas of the capital, this is where they could continue possibly into the afternoon. further east, the cloud will then and break. we will get some brighter spells developing. top temperatures between seven and nine celsius. then, as we head to this evening and overnight, the breeze will pick up just a touch more. so mr not too much of an issue into tomorrow morning but lots of low cloud. loads of 56 celsius. now, tomorrow will feel windier. the wind will help the makes up the air. temperatures a degree or so down on what we will see later on today. across the course of the weekend, again, sunday mostly dry, very windy by the end of the day. rain on monday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we'll bring you the latest news and sport injust a moment. here's what's coming up on breakfast today. the way we manage our money is getting a shake—up. we'll look at whether open banking, will really get you a better deal on current accounts and savings. her majesty's verdict on the golden coach that took her to the coronation. we'll speak to the man who managed to get the monarch to break the spell of pomp and pageantry of that day for a new documentary. —— from pulpits to parishioners. we'll meet the vicars who feature in a new series that looks at the role they have to play in rural communities and how their faith fits in the modern world. in the last hour, donald trump has confirmed he will not visit britain next month. he tweeted that he had cancelled a planned visit as he did not want to open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, barack embassy commissioned by his predecessor, ba rack obama. after nearly 60 years flying a love —— flying above london's grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered ready to the opening of the new us embassy. it's billion—dollar building on the southbank and donald trump was due to open it next month. now we know he won't and early this morning, he posted his reasons on twitter: but did the prospect of protests like this also put off? this was the response to his ban on travellers from certain muslim countries. a petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him. it shouldn't be a state visit because it would be embarrassing to the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon. but then the president strain the special relationship by sharing on line far right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may condemned, he then retorted. just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and he is coming to this country? you will be coming to this country? you will be coming to the country. the foreign secretary denied the queen would be embarrassed. i think her majesty the queen is capable of taking this american president or any american president in her stride, as she has done over six remarkable decades. let's be clear. opening this place was never the same as a state visit. it would have been a shorter, less formal trip. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year, but no date has been set. the president is denying this decision is down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but

about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation 65 years ago. as part of a bbc programme, she spoke candidly about herjourney to the catherdral and the heaviness of the crown she wore when she was coronated. what ‘the coronation' will air on bbc one at 8pm this sunday. you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they are quite important things. a butcher who got frozen in his own freezer described how he used black pudding. the freeze door blew shut behind him. he was stranded in temperatures less than —20 degrees. he says he used the sausages are battering ram on the door‘s release mechanism. i couldn't work out how to do it initially. then i found the black pudding stick and tried to get an angle on this button. as you can see, it's not that easy now. anyone who is trapped in a freezer now, courtesy of a butcher in devon. carrying a sausage, very useful. the world championships, they are big things, they would be very useful. there is a black pudding world championships. you don't want to get hit by one. not that i have been. very useful to have around. hit by one. not that i have been. very usefulto have around. how hit by one. not that i have been. very useful to have around. how big are the black puddings? very useful to have around. how big are the black puddings7m very useful to have around. how big are the black puddings? it depends on the category you're a competing in. it's really not complicated. have you finished talking about black pudding? yeah when we make mistakes? when it's a big one that costs your country a place of the world cup. it hurts now that the referee has said. the referee who awarded that controversial penalty which eventually cost northern ireland their world cup play—off against switzerland last year has now admitted, he made a mistake. ovidiu hategan ruled northern ireland's corry evans blocked a shot, with his arm during the first leg, despite replays showing the ball struck the player's shoulder. michael o'neill‘s side went on to lose the match 1—nil, ending their hopes of reaching a world cup for the first time in 32 years. it was a sad and unpleasant moments to me. sad, because i made a mistake. painful, because with my tea m mistake. painful, because with my team of officials we had been working well. in my world, the referees are the same as the goalkeepers. everybody has made a mistake. stephen craig says two months after the event, it is pathetic. with andy murray missing through injury, british attention at the australian open will focus onjohanna konta — she's been drawn to face the unseeded american, madison brengle in the first round, which starts on

native slovenia. maria sharapova, was also at the draw, despite receiving a drugs ban two years ago, while competing in this competition. espite england's recent ashes humiliation, liam livingstone

go into the environment this time with a lot more confidence in my game. the mba returned to london last night. the league the american basketball league is looking to expand its fanbase to expand its fanbase here and across europe, but they say a full time franchise based in the uk is looking increasingly unlikey. this match saw a meeting of two of the eastern conferences most exciting teams, with the boston celtics eventually beating the philadelphia 76—ers by 114 points to 103. staying with american sports in the capital, and tottenham's hopes of starting the new season in their new white hart lane stadium have been boosted, after it was announced spurs' refurbished ground will host the first match of the nfl london series in 2018. seattle seahawks will play the oakland raiders at white hart lane in october, and the new stadium has special features so both football and american football will have their own playing surface, apparently. it has been my dream for a number of yea rs it has been my dream for a number of years to crate something special not just for ourfans years to crate something special not just for our fans but for an owl fan —— and it bans local area and i believe nfl and premier league soccer together, it will be something unique in the world. we have got to pictures. the nfl picture is the lower pitch. the premier league one will go under the south stand. it will enable the nfl to have as many games as they want during that period. england's trina gulliver, still looks like the woman to beat at darts,‘ b.d.o world championship. she's already won this tournament ten times previously, now she's into this year's semi—finals at lakeside. she beat the netherlands aileen de graaf, by two sets to nil. british bobsleigher bruce tasker, has been ruled

golfing year for wales' jamie donaldson. this was his tee shot, at the par three 14th hole at the south africa open in edevale. and it went in for a hole in one. donaldson finished his round at two under par, five shots off the leader. i know what it's like to have that feeling when you see it go all the way in. you have had a hole in one? at crazy golf. it all counts. in training for the world championships. i'm not going to beat that. dozens of senior accident and emergency doctors in england and wales have written a letter to the prime minister warning that patients are dying in hospital corridors and conditions are at times ‘intolerable'. (pres) it follows a number of reports of patients waiting hours for beds or being left on trollies. health bosses say ‘very high' rates of flu is placing pressure on the nhs. stephen lord is one of the medics who signed the letter to theresa may. hejoins us now. this is unprecedented. we haven't seen a group, people like you get together and sign this matter. what is taking you to this point? we expect every winter to be tough on patience. but this winter has proved tougher than any of the previous ones we have worked. we put patient ca re ones we have worked. we put patient care at the centre of our focus. this winter, we have seen on unprecedented levels, but care being compromised, delays in treatment, not being able to see patients in a timely manner. we decided it was timely manner. we decided it was time to speak up and raise our concerns. you are a clinical director who oversees a a&e department. are you worried about people dying in your department when they potentially shouldn't be?” worry about patients coming to harm. i have long ambulance queues at times. waiting to get into a cubicle to be seen by my staff. all the time that they are delayed, they are not getting the care that they need. you speak in very measured terms. you have signed a public letter asking for action from the government, from the prime minister. have you had a response? not yet other than the bits that were in the media yesterday. the letter was signed on wednesday and went out yesterday, which was leaked by the health service journal. the stock response right now it is what the government line is. extra resources have been put in place. there is a plan to deal with what we are dealing with now. that is the stock response to what your saying. every winter, we have a plan going into winter. every plan needs resources in both real estate, people but also the finances to back it. we have seen this winter, our hospital sitting at around 95% occupancy. efficiency relies on about 85% occupancy. it means we can't get patients through the hospital quicken up. there is not enough social care are out there to look after an elderly population. we often hear about the precipice, the edge of something. can you give usa the edge of something. can you give us a picture of what the next stage is that it carries on like this? what is the next stage? what does that look like? the next stage will be large numbers of patients coming toa be large numbers of patients coming to a significant harm. increasing mortality across hospitals because patients are not getting the treatment they require in the time they require. give me an idea of numbers. this yearin give me an idea of numbers. this year in my department we have seen a 296 year in my department we have seen a 2% increase in attendances but we have admitted another five or 6% of patients to the hospital. so from my department that is about another five patients per day. on our worst day we admitted another 20 patients over where we would expect to admit ona over where we would expect to admit on a normal day. and that is on top of all the normal work. and these patients at times are waiting more than 12 hours in my department. you know, that is three times the length of time that people should be waiting. we should see, and we should discharge and had met people infour should discharge and had met people in four hours. but people are waiting 20 hours. what would you say to someone at this moment in time needs to take someone to a&e or send someone to a&e. people hearing this will think i don't want to send a relative if there is a risk of coming to harm. we always see people ina coming to harm. we always see people in a priority order. everyone is triage at the front door, so we will see them at the order of their clinical need. we will see everyone and give them the treatments they require, but unless we can sort the system out, we will make no guarantees. in —— even senior doctors can't make that guarantee. and we will be keeping an eye on that story this morning. we are also looking at the weather picture as well. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather. very good morning to you, and no big changes on the weather front at the moment. there will be next week, as i will show you. out there today we have the familiar colour of grey overhead for the vast majority. some will brighten up a early—morning commuters on the roads across western parts of the uk will have some fog around, and these areas are most likely to see some frost. temperatures dropping down to —3, “i! in northern scotland, just below freezing in the south—west. either side of it you are frost free but the figures cloud is producing rain and drizzle around the eastern areas, from london all the way towards the wash at the moment. the odd heavy burst here and they will come and go all day long across some parts of eastern england. for most it isa parts of eastern england. for most it is a dry day and some of the mist and fog will clear. some of you will see some sunshine. the best chance of sunshine in western wales, parts of sunshine in western wales, parts of north—west england and the north of north—west england and the north of scotla nd of north—west england and the north of scotland and while temperatures across the border fairly similar, that bit sunshine will make him feel much better. into the night, the wind coming from the south—east. no push from the atlantic at the moment, this weather front trying to push its way in. it will bring rain by the end of the night in northern ireland and pembrokeshire and cornwall and the isles of scilly. most generally dry. the odd spot of light rain and drizzle in the breeze as we have seen the past few nights and lots of cloud into saturday morning. so another grey start for the start of the weekend. wet in northern ireland, turning wet in western scotland for a good part of western scotland for a good part of western wales, cornwall and parts of devon. more so across scotland, parts of eastern wales will stay dry. the better chance of a few cloud breaks to the south and east tomorrow compared with recent days, and temperatures similar to today. through saturday night and into sunday, that weather front coming off the atlantic sits in place across parts of scotland, wales, towards the south—west. here we will see the greatest conditions —— greatest conditions to begin with. a few breaks in the south and east with early—morning frost and fog. temperatures struggling after the chilly start by the end of the day western scotland and northern ireland will have heavy rain and gusty winds spreading its weight in. through sunday night into monday, here comes the change. gales and severe gale force winds. clear in the south—east and by the time we get to the end of monday, just follow the isobars back all the wage agreement from north canada, much colder air will follow in its wake. that will sweep away the grade, the murkiness, the mist that we have seen over this week on introducing crisper conditions at times, but it will feel colder. pretty windy as well, widespread gales expected and lots of showers around. heavy with hailand lots of showers around. heavy with hail and thunder and increasingly sleet and snow across northern and western areas as well. a big change from what we have just now.” western areas as well. a big change from what we have just now. i think you should have stopped that windy. thank you very much. this is a new one on me, ben, the idea of open banking. it is a bit complicated and it will take awhile to its presence felt but it is a really significant change to the way we do our banking. the way that we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever. it is called open banking and it is the biggest shakeup ina banking and it is the biggest shakeup in a generation. so why is it happening and what does it mean for us? for years, our high street banks have dominated the market for savings and current accounts. most of us stay with the same bank for decades and so the regulator wants to make it easier to shop around, creating more competition. we could save nearly £100 a yearjust by switching banks and even more if you regularly use alone, an overdraft or a mortgage. at the moment there are just too many forms to fill in each time we want to sign up for something new. and so new eu rules mean big banks will be forced to share our information if we ask them to, so we can signup to new deals, switch or get better interest rates, all at the click of a button. number one, personal budgeting, the ability to see where my money comes from under categories i am spending it on. i'm getting better visibility with that. the second one is the ability to bring all my accounts into one place, so i might look on a smartphone or banking out and see notjust the smartphone or banking out and see not just the current account from the tank, but other products and services that i might have, alone overdraft, for example. and the third one would be around financial management, and that would be things like overdraft alerts, for example, so like overdraft alerts, for example, so the ability to find better products which are more suited to me and the ability to switch to those products as well. butjust how safe is it? when you sign up a new product you will be asked if you wa nt to product you will be asked if you want to share your financial data and who you want to share it with. if you don't agree, it won't be shared. but not everyone is made confident by those changes. a recent survey found the majority of consumers are still sceptical about sharing theirfinancial consumers are still sceptical about sharing their financial data. one of the biggest concerns is security. people will be sharing sensitive financial data. third parties, perhaps brands you have never heard of, will be able to take a real peek into your current account and look at where you spend, your habits and your vices, and do you feel comfortable sharing that? of course there is the risk that that data could go astray or it could be intercepted by fraudsters, and they would really hold the keys to your financial life. but remember, you have to give your permission before anyone can see that data. in theory it should make it easier to shop around. remember, it all officially begins tomorrow. just a small number of banks say they are ready for these changes, others have been given more time to comply. credit ca rd given more time to comply. credit card companies, mortgage firms and insurers will sign up as well. you might not notice any changes just yet but the changes are coming, and that revolution starts tomorrow. thank you very much. if you visit thirlmere, in the lake district, the only sounds you will hear are the chirping of birds and the trickle of a nearby stream. that could soon change, though. a consultation on the construction of a new zip wire across the reservoir ends today. developers say it will bring new tourists to the area. but the proposal hasn't gone down well with conservationists, as breakfast graham satchell reports. hidden in the trees next to lake windermere, is acquire. —— zip wire. kia and will are about to go down for the first time. ibook this was his birthday. would you normally come to the lakes anywhere? we haven't been before, no. go! bringing new people to the lakes is just one reason. treetop trek want to build one more zip wire half an hour at the road at thirlmere. so you can't really do this story without actually having a go. so here we go. one, two at three! so the people behind this new zip wire say it will create 15 newjobs, and should create £600,000 for the economy, and there should be 50,000 people a year using it. it is about getting outdoors, doing something you wouldn't normally do, challenging yourself. and i think the more people we can encourage to get outdoors and to get up into the cells and to get around the lakes, the better. the plans would see four wires going across the water one way at thirlmere, a quick track, and then four wires going back to the other side. and this is thirlmere. breathtaking, majestic, sareen, and surprising. it is surprising because, actually, most of what you can see here is man—made. the trees, for example, were planted in the early 1900s, and the water is not a la ke early 1900s, and the water is not a lake on it is a reservoir, built in the 18905 to supply water to manchester, which it still does today. there was a huge row when this reservoir wa5 today. there was a huge row when this reservoir was built between indu5triali5t5 and city folk to the south and a group of locals, including the poet and philosopher john ruskin, who many consider to be the founding father of modern conservation is. rusk and lost the first battle of thirlmere, but the group he was part of, now called the friends of the lakes district, is determined not to lose this one.” love getting out, getting away from it all. and i think having all these vi5itors here will 5poil that, will 5poil vi5itors here will 5poil that, will spoil the landscape. vi5itors here will 5poil that, will spoilthe landscape. zip vi5itors here will 5poil that, will spoil the landscape. zip wires have a place, but not in urban landscape, and certainly not across an expanse of open water. i have been on one, you do scream, you can't help it. it would just be awful to have that here, when you come here for peaceful walks in nature. what do you thinkjohn ruskin would have made of your zip wires proposal?” have absolutely no idea whatsoever. but we shouldn't be afraid of words like thrill and fun. they should go hand—in—hand with words like his ability. these pictures show what it might be like to go the proposed new zip wire. there is a big question here. should the late district be opened up to more people who wouldn't normally come, or should be left in peace, it is? that makes me want to go to the lake district this weekend. and you can understand why sentiments run high, because it looks so stunning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it is the third strike this week in a dispute with the rmt union over the role of guards. south—western railway says it hopes to run about 70% of services, but passengers

morning, and ijust sat in one of the rooms, and i wasjust so proud of the transformation. because, on the whole, it looks the same, and nothing has been displaced. everything is still in place, all the wood panelling and all of that. but it's got such — it's just got such an amazing uplift, and it's — i'm just so proud of it. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning. however, the london overground has no service from gospel oak to barking, because of engineering works. on the roads, the a13 is slow moving westbound from dagenham to

similar sort of morning today. a very uninspiring start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. so start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. so we start that i am hopeful we should see something a bit right as we head into the afternoon. so we are beginning the morning off on around five, six celsius. not too chilly but there could be a few early fog patches around in a few spots of drizzle, but italy out towards western areas, where they may continue as we head into the afternoon. but further is to that line the cloud should then a break. we will get some brighter spells, top temperatures between seven and nine celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight the breeze will pick up a touch, so mist and fog not too much an issue in the tomorrow morning. a few spots of rain. a low cloud around again. those four or five celsius. now, temperatures will go down a touch over the course of the weekend. a lot of cloud around. mostly dry, some brighter spells that time. turning windy by the end of sunday. and then it is a wet start to the new working week. station donald trump abandons his plans to

tasker, the british bobsleigh star. he is expected to make a full recovery from his injury, however. and as the queen marks 65 years since her coronation, for the first time her majesty lifts the lid on what life is like when you have to wear a crown. you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. today, misty and frosty. details on that in your weekend forecast a news on even cold weather on the way next week. that is next. good morning. first, our main story. donald trump has confirmed he won't visit britain next month. the us president tweeted that he had cancelled the planned visit as he didn't want open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, ba rack obama. danjohnson has got the latest. after nearly 60 years flying above london's grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered this week, ready for the opening of the new us embassy. it is a $1 billion building on the southbank, and donald trump was due to officially open it next month. now, we know he won't. some sources say the president did not want to be associated donald trump has got to go! but did the prospect of protests like this also put off? this was the response to his ban on travellers from certain muslim countries. a petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him. it shouldn't be a state visit because it would be embarrassing to the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon. but then the president strained the special relationship by sharing online far—right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may condemned, he then retorted. when theresa may condemned, he even retorted. butjust last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and he is coming to this country? he will be coming to the country. the foreign secretary denied the queen would be embarrassed. i think her majesty the queen is capable of taking this american president or any american president in her stride, as she has done over six remarkable decades. let's be clear. opening this place was never the same as a state visit. it would have been a shorter, less formal trip. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year, but no date has been set. the president is denying this decision is down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foulmouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn't growing. we can talk now to our north america corrspondent, eleanor garnier who is in our los angeles studio. how special is this relationship? some may say it is a snub. it is not a good look to have another bit of having said that, is he doing it deliberately to annoy the british government? i don't think so. it is a backdrop of a strained relationship it has been strained at times. it was only last week we heard the prime minister was saying that the president would be visiting the uk. the state visit, that's with all the pomp and ceremony where donald trump would be seeing the queen, that has been on the backburner but there is a more straightforward visit, a working visit, and it was due to take place next month. we know donald trump's public official reason becoming is because he is unhappy with the building and its relocation, all the bbc understands although donald trump is blaming the obama administration, the decision was taken before president obama came into office. there are other reasons being suggested for coming? the threat of anti—trump demonstrations. the mayor of london has made it clear that he doesn't think he is welcome in this country. another difficulty is that when theresa may made that invitation to donald trump to come to the uk that state visit, it was very early on. it became a very controversial invitation. formerly made by the queen. there's a lot of pressure on this visit. it is ratcheted up the diplomatic pressure. i think that is why it might feel a bit uncomfortable for those at number 10. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her. in england, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen away this winter has proved very tough. we as doctors put patient ca re tough. we as doctors put patient care is our number one focus. we seek optimisers in treatment, delays, not seeing patients in a timely manner. through that, we decided it's time to speak up and raise our concerns. the queen has been talking about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation, including the weight of the imperial state crown. her majesty doesn't normally do interviews, but she spoke to the royal commentator alastair bruce as part of an upcoming bbc programme marking the 65th anniversary of the ceremony. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. she famously doesn't do interviews. this is probably as close as she will get. a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crownjewels and the imperial state crown warned by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately my father and i have about the same sort of shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it just remains itself. you have to keep your head very still. yes, and you can't look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they're quite important things. she rode her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four tonnes. it's not built for comfort. horrible. it's not meant for travelling in at all. it's only sprung on leather. so it rocks around a lot? not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? i rode around london. really? we must have gone four orfive miles. you can only go at walking pace. the horses couldn't possibly go any faster. it's so heavy. 65 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation. the crown, the real one. nicholas witchell, bbc news. you can watch the coronation on bbc one at eight o'clock this evening. you are right up—to—date. matters going to bring the weather. flamboyant, confident and a young man who loved to be the centre of attention, martyn hett was among the 22 people killed in the attack last may. his family found themselves in the media spotlight, almost from the very moment they heard about the explosion. judith moritz has this report. the manchester arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were lost, many more were changed forever. he made international headlines and that meant there was huge media interest in the stories of those most closely affected. they included the family of martyn hett, one of those killed in the blast. he had a large social media following and had previously been on tv, and possibly as a result, his family found themselves in the spotlight almost from the very moment they heard about their explosion and before they knew martyn had died. heard about their explosion and before they knew martyn had diedm seems a bit dissed tasteful, really. how can anybody be so cool and say sorry for your loss? we didn't find out officially this evening until he was dead. now an independent panel will consider the way the media covered the stories of the breeds and injured. the review panel will recommend that public organisations adopt a charter which uses lessons learned from the hillsborough disaster. it states that the bereaved and vulnerable should be treated with respect and put first by those responding to such public tragedies. joining us as lord kerslake, the chair of the review. and stuart murray, martyn hett‘s father. how do you feel now? no one can put a time on how long to grieve and how much you miss. you will always miss martyn. how do you think you are treated or approached by the media? i think, media treated or approached by the media? ithink, media point treated or approached by the media? i think, media point of view, if you imagine that one minute, you are at home watching it on the tv and you go to the arena to get some news and if you imagine how it would feel, you leave your children at home. your teenagers while you are trying to find out news of what happens, and while you are there, you don't even know what has happened. there are people knocking on the door at home to your children. saving our condolences about your brother, would you like to talk about it? that is nine and ten o'clock in the morning. we won't even told until ten o'clock at night. but was confirmed. how would you feel is apparent that was happening to your children? how did you know that had happened? children? how did you know that had happened ? the children? how did you know that had happened? the children account of the stories. they told you about that. it was our children and those where we lived, the media found the address of our children who don't live at home and some of martyn's friends, his flatmates. this is before we even had news and confirmation of what had happened. those people it happened to, those enquiries by the media? what was the impact of that? i suppose that makes you, the people involved angry and cautious how they would deal with the media thereafter. if you're trying to make an impression that is not the way to make an impression if you want to try were to be involved with them. it's not a good way to start. we will talk about that because we've spoken to you before. lord kerslake, because we've spoken to you before. lord kersla ke, you because we've spoken to you before. lord kerslake, you have spoken to members of the family, family members, survivors, people who are at the media. what has been your impression about how the media has behaved? how impression about how the media has behaved ? how has impression about how the media has behaved? how has that been inappropriate in terms of media guidelines? we really wanted to tell the story in terms of the bereaved and injured. a lot of the media handed —— handled things respectfully but there were occasions where they didn't. what you find here is that with social media, the identity of those were missing becomes known quite quickly. then it is, how does the media respond to that situation? we have heard, i think, respond to that situation? we have heard, ithink, of respond to that situation? we have heard, i think, of an example where they did badly. we wanted to look at and go through the detail of this, what can we learn from this? have the lessons of previous events like this been learned ? the lessons of previous events like this been learned? its early stages. have you been able to draw any conclusions about that? there are certain realities here which you have come to deal with. social media exists. social media is going to appear. that will not change. what can be done? we want to do a bit more work, you are quite right, before we reach a conclusion. but most people would think it would be quite wrong to go to the door of somebody‘s house where the family don't yet know the outcome themselves, as we have heard from stuart, and express condolences for their loss. we must find a way in which that doesn't happen. there is a balance, isn't there, stuart, in terms of what people want to know. you have been on the sofa talking about martin, remembering him, and people are interested. people want to know about the people who are victims of this atrocity. there is a way that the media needs to get that across to people, when we see something like what happened at the manchester arena. where do you think the lines have been blurred, or perhaps stepped over inappropriately? i think as one of the victims‘ families, i think our role is to describe what has happened, and then let all the individual organisations decide whether what they did was right. i don‘t want to be seen to be saying this is what you must do. there are lots of different things happen, and you have to look at what happens to everyone. we feed it back and then we wa nt everyone. we feed it back and then we want all the different organisations who have been involved in looking after us afterwards to say what they did, was it right, could they have improved it? you described the immediate aftermath, and soul of those hours immediately afterwards, when the press were doing those things. in the longer term, do you feel that your family has been respected more, or is it an ongoing issue of respecting your privacy and giving the family time? i think overall i think we have been looked after fantastically by everybody involved. but there is a lwa ys everybody involved. but there is always going to be lessons to be learned. so this isn‘t about trying to find blame, but when a big disaster happens, you need to look at it and say is there anything we could do even better on? what do you think could change, in the outcome of this, what could significantly change, do you think?” of this, what could significantly change, do you think? i think it is all about the way in which people behave, the respect with which they treat those caught up in these terrible events. and i think we learned a lot, actually, in very different circumstances, the report that bishopjones different circumstances, the report that bishop jones did different circumstances, the report that bishopjones did in the hillsborough enquiry, and he set out some guiding principles for public agencies in terms of how they should approach to read families. and those applied not just the approach to read families. and those applied notjust the public agencies, but to the media as well. thank you very much for your time, and thank you for spending time with us this morning. here is matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. and there looks to be some horrible weather on the way. it depends how you look at it, really. things will be changing. for some a welcome change from the grey we have seen through the bulk of the week. certainly cloudy at the moment. o‘grady, misty start to your friday morning. some dense fog patches, especially in the west. the reason our weather hasn‘t been changing much of late is down to the position of the jet stream. it has been rushing out of usa and making this week undulating dip across the atlantic, and then not really reaching us. so we have no real push to bring weather systems our way and shake up our weather of it. but that will change into next week. as we run into quieter weather, it the wind will fall light. the temperatures drop wet skies have been clear, that is western areas and northern scotland, below freezing over the last hour or two. either side of it a frosty start today but essentially another grey one. misty and foggy over the hills. dense patches of fog and lower levels of wales and the south—west in particular. and the cloud from london and the south—east through yorkshire, always big enough to produce some rain and drizzle. most of you will have a dry day and some cloud appearing, the best favoured for it will be parts of west and north wales, parts of western north of england and parts of scotland. and where you see the sunshine, similar across—the—board, and where you see the sunshine, similaracross—the—board, it and where you see the sunshine, similar across—the—board, it will feel a little bit better. as we go through the night, still some patchy drizzle in the east but the main focus is in the west, the atlantic jetstrea m focus is in the west, the atlantic jetstream trying to push this end. rain on and off by the end of the night, maybe in the pembrokeshire, cornwall and by the time we see first light on saturday into the far west of scotland. but that weather front going to sit across these areas all day long on saturday. in the west, some of the areas which see the sunshine today, probably a wet day tomorrow. much of eastern england and wales will stay dry. with a bit more breeze around tomorrow, especially across the south and east, a better chance of some sunshine but it will feel rather cool here is cooler air comes back off the continent. saturday night the chance of some frost in the south—east corner. that weather front just sets across the west of scotland, the far west of england and wales to take us into sunday. sunday grey and damp for many western areas. maybe some brightness breaking through the further east you are. elsewhere the wind will pick up, that is the sign of the jetstrea m pick up, that is the sign of the jetstream winning through. it brings this weather front from scotland and northern ireland, and as the jetstrea m northern ireland, and as the jetstream starts to push that through, wet and windy for all to ta kers through, wet and windy for all to takers from sunday night into monday, and then a big change on the way. following the isobars back all the way in towards the likes agreement, northern canada, much colder air for the agreement, northern canada, much colder airfor the start agreement, northern canada, much colder air for the start of next week. that will take us through all of next week. that does mean that we sweep away the grey skies of this week tom but it also means it will feel colder. it will be much, much windier than we have had this week, and there will be frequent showers around. some of the showers will contain sleet and snow. the future of building contractor carillion hangs in the balance, amid fears it is close to collapse. crisis talks this week, but there are fears it is close to collapse. another crisis meeting will be held today, after talks this week ended without a deal on its massive pension deficit. carillion is the uk‘s second—largest construction company, and employs 43,000 around the world. it is involved in all sorts of government building contracts, including the hs2 rail line. facebook boss mark zuckerberg says the social media site will reduce clutter from the site, after criticism that there are too any adverts and promoted posts from businesses. he says he wants to prioritise what he calls meaningful social interactions, and felt a responsibility to make sure facebook was good for people‘s wellbeing. and a british satellite has been blasted into orbit on an indian rocket to make full—colour, high—definition videos of earth. rather than still images, that are currently the norm, the satellite will be able to record moving objects like cars or ships, and could be used for everything from monitoring traffic to helping rescuers after natural disasters. some great video of what it could look like, but that satellite in orbit now, so there are a lot of them have to get up there before it works. we will speak to the boss of the british company behind that satellite just after 8:30am this morning on breakfast. that will be interesting, looking forward to that. four injured ex—veterans have been unveiled as the drivers of a motor racing team with a difference. they will compete in the gt championship, in specially designed cars which allow them to compete against able—bodied drivers. let‘s talk our reporter, jj chalmers. he is a former soldier who served with some of the team. he will be doing the racing, and we can see, i assume, the car itself. yes, this is the car itself, it is an incredible beast. this is the launch of invictus games racing. we know it as a sporting competition for wounded and sick servicemen and women but it is ranching into the world of motorsport. to give you some context, this was my boss in afghanistan and got blown up a day after me, believe it or not. how do you go from being a royal marine to a racing driver? i spent two years in physical rehabilitation and during that time i got into motorsport, and i was introduced to my team, and incredibly, i have been luckily chosen to now raise four invictus games racing. and you have journeyed a similarjourney to steve. what has done for you rehabilitation? it has been amazing for my it has given me the opportunity to be part of a team again, to re— hone my competitive edge, and give me the opportunity to race in an awesome car. speaking of awesome ca rs, race in an awesome car. speaking of awesome cars, can you give us an insight into what we have here? so it is based on a jaguar f type, but it is based on a jaguar f type, but it has been seriously modified. it is the first factory gt race car to come out for 50 years from jaguar. it has some modifications, some of which we can't talk about because we don't want to give the game away, but suffice to say it is an incredible piece of kit and we can't wait to get behind the wheel. and if the car wasn‘t enough to make you believe they had taken this very seriously, look at this racing truck tom winnebago, as they call it in america. it has spared no expense, this type of invictus games endeavour. and james, how do you go from selling clothes to owning a race team ? from selling clothes to owning a race team? i want to do something cool for charity for quite awhile, andi cool for charity for quite awhile, and i was lucky enough to be in a position to do so. i thought if we could link up with the invictus guys and get jaguar to build could link up with the invictus guys and getjaguar to build a car within and getjaguar to build a car within a year, it would challenge the guys and give them a good project. so we started this year ago. we have another two years to run and we are looking forward to the first season of british gt championships this year. and i know from my days in rehabilitation, you are not here to make up numbers, are you? definitely not. we have already spoken and we are going to take it from the front. we are not here to make up the numbers, we are here to win this. march is when the first race will be, and you will want to keep your eyes on this one. and we are back with you a little later on. quite set up and quite an impressive as well. —— quite a setup. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it is the third strike this week in a dispute

check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday it was very damp, drizzly and murky. it‘s a similar sort of morning today. a very uninspiring start, but i‘m hopeful that we should see something a bit brighterform as we head into the afternoon. so we‘re beginning the morning off on around 5—6 degrees celsius. not too chilly, but there could be a few early fog patches around, and a few spots of drizzle, particularly out towards western areas, where they may continue as we head into the afternoon. but further east of that line, the cloud should thin and break. we‘ll get some brighter spells, top temperatures between 7—9 celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, the breeze will pick up a touch, so mist and fog not too much of an issue into tomorrow morning. a few spots of rain, low cloud around again. lows of 11—5 degrees celsius. now, temperatures will go down a touch over the course of the weekend. a lot of cloud around. mostly dry, some brighter spells at times. turning windy by the end of sunday, and then it is a wet start to the new working week. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we‘ll bring you the latest news and sport injust a moment. here‘s what‘s coming up on breakfast today. in the last hour, donald trump has confirmed he will not visit britain next month. he tweeted that he had cancelled a planned visit as he did not want to open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, barack obama. essentially, he is saying he did not wa nt to essentially, he is saying he did not want to be associated with a decision that harks back to the obama administration. it was a bad decision, as he said, a bad deal. it is interesting because i have here a press release from the us embassy. it stated the second of october, 2008, before president obama was elected. announcing this new embassy on the southbank in london. it says the new embassy will serve as a catalyst to the regeneration of the area. it was a decision made before president obama. the conduct of the media is expected to be examined by the independent review into the response to the manchester arena bombing. 22 people were killed when a bomb was set off after a pop concert at the venue in may. several of the bereaved families have raised concerns about the reporting of the attack. the review will also look at the role played by social media. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home in wester ross, but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff were unable to save her. elsewhere, in england, there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen by gps — up 78 per cent from last week. but this winter has proved tougher than any of the previous ones we have worked. we put patient care at the centre of our focus. this winter, we have seen on unprecedented levels, that care being compromised, delays in treatment, not being able to see patients in a timely manner. we decided it was time to speak up and raise our concerns. a large fire has broken out in nottinghamshire. nottingham fire and rescue is dealing with a large incident. this is what we are getting. we understand the station has been evacuated. east midland trains say all trains through the station are cancelled and they expect disruptions for the rest of the morning. because of that fire, very much work you checking your travel plans. the queen has been talking about some of the challenges she faced at her coronation 65 years ago. as part of a bbc programme, she spoke candidly about herjourney to the catherdral and the heaviness of the crown she wore when she was crowned. you can‘t look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you do, your neck could break. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they‘re quite important things. a butcher who got frozen in his own freezer described how he used black pudding to free himself. chris mccabe there. the freezer door in devon blew shut behind him. he was stranded in temperatures less than —20 degrees. he says he used the sausage as a battering ram on the door‘s release mechanism. i couldn‘t work out how to do it initially. then i found the black pudding stick and tried to get to get an angle on this button. i did it by hitting it. as you can see, it‘s not that easy now. i will make sure there is black pudding in my freezer the whole time. i always have one on me. but in the black pudding world championships, you have to get them ona championships, you have to get them on a plinth. the sliced one? which wouldn‘t be as useful? on a plinth. the sliced one? which wouldn't be as useful? you need a long, hard one to get yourself out. tell us about the sport. when is it too late to say sorry? this was when northern ireland bought a penalty had cost them. now, finally, the referee who awarded a controversial penalty which cost northern ireland their world player has admitted he got it wrong. ovidiu hategan ruled northern ireland‘s corry evans blocked a shot, with his arm during the first leg, despite replays showing the ball struck the player‘s shoulder. michael o‘neill‘s side went on to lose the match 1—nil, ending their hopes of reaching a world cup for the first time in 32 years. translation: it was a sad and unpleasant moment to me. sad, because i made a mistake. painful, because with my team of officials we had been working well. in my world, the referees are the same as the goalkeepers. everybody has made a mistake. stephen craig says two months after the event, it is pathetic. with andy murray missing through injury, british attention at the australian open will focus onjohanna konta — she‘s been drawn to face the unseeded american, madison brengle in the first round, which starts on monday. the draw was made yesterday with roger federer, among the guests in melbourne. he‘ll start the defence of his title against aliash bedene, the former british number two, who now represents his native slovenia. maria sharapova, was also at the draw, despite receiving a drugs ban two years ago, while competing in this competition. london‘s o2 arena swapped beiber for basketball as the nba returned to london last night. the american basketball league is looking to expand its fanbase here and across europe, but say a full time franchise based in the uk is looking increasingly unlikey. this match saw a meeting of two of the eastern conferences most exciting teams, with the boston celtics eventually beating the philadelphia 76—ers by 114 points to 103. staying with american sports in the capital, and tottenham‘s hopes of starting the new season in their new white hart lane stadium have been boosted, after it was announced spurs‘ refurbished ground will host the first match of the nfl london series in 2018. seattle seahawks will play the oakland raiders at white hart lane in october, and the new stadium has special features so both football and american football will have their own playing surface, apparently. it has been my dream for a number of years to crate something special notjust for ourfans but for nrl fans and the local area and i believe nfl and premier league soccer together, it will be something unique in the world. we have got two pitches. the nfl pitch is the lower pitch. the premier league one one will go under the south stand. it will enable the nfl to have as many games as they want during that period. british bobsleigher bruce tasker, has been ruled out of competing, at next month‘s winter olympics, after suffering a minor stroke last week. tasker was due to compete in his second winter games in pyeongchang. he was taken to hospital on the 4th of january, after experiencing dizziness and nausea, but he is expected to make a full recovery, and resume his bobsleigh career by next season. and how about this for a good way to start off the golfing year for wales‘ jamie donaldson. this was his tee shot, at the par three 14th hole at the south africa open in edevale. and it went in for a hole in one. donaldson finished his round at two under par, five shots off the leader. finally, it‘s long been the stuff of myths and fairytales, but now mermaids and mermen, swimming with huge tailfins and competing in sport is growing in the uk.. until recently, pulling on a tail, was really only something, you could experience on holiday, like i did a few years ago, and when done properly it can make you 33 per—cent faster in the water. nnow there are mermaid and mermen academies in the uk and professionals here too..and this may, the uk will host the mer—lympics for the first time. i was way off the pace in this race. as well as racing there will be synchro swimming and agility races. iimagine you i imagine you need a very strong co re i imagine you need a very strong core to that. once you do put it on, it feels like you have a tail, instead of legs. your only good in the water. so floundering on the site? do you remember that tv series and the actor from dallas? site? do you remember that tv series and the actorfrom dallas? he site? do you remember that tv series and the actor from dallas? he was half man, half fish? the man from atla nta‘s ? half man, half fish? the man from atlanta‘s? it was. he could walk and sometimes he turned into a fish? i haven‘t made it up? sometimes he turned into a fish? i haven't made it up? so this is after your heart as well, this sport? haven't made it up? so this is after your heart as well, this sport7m was patrick duffy. thank you. england could be facing its worst flu season for seven years, that‘s based on the sharp rise in the number of cases gps have seen in the past week — up 78 per cent from last week. there are three main strains of flu this year — h3n2, h1n1, and flu b. the h3n2 strain is also known as ‘aussie flu‘, while the b strain is also known as ‘japanese flu‘ and is not covered by some vaccines. let‘s talk about this now with gp, dr rosemary leonard. these strains, no one cares what strain they have when they have the flu, it‘s just a strain they have when they have the flu, it‘sjust a rotten, book which is hurting us the most? the one that is hurting us the most? the one that is really common is the japanese strain, the b strain but we don‘t test that. they are only testing for it in hospital. the symptoms are very similar. what‘s interesting, the reason gps are busy, a lot of people know there is no treatment for flu but they don‘t realise they have the flu because they are expecting a bunged up nose, streaming cold, sore throat. what is happening is you hurt all over. you can‘t get out of bed in the morning because your arms and legs won‘t move. yourjoints feel as if you have arthritis. you feel poleaxed with tiredness. people are saying they don‘t know what is wrong but thatis they don‘t know what is wrong but that is the flu, along with a high fever. i was in my surgery frantically busy. i‘m going back today. if someone kim is in with those symptoms and you diagnose that you have the flu, there is nothing you have the flu, there is nothing you can do. the problem is, people and underlying medical digressions, they have chest infections, pneumonia which can have a secondary bacteria infection. for the vast majority, there is nothing we can do and allgps majority, there is nothing we can do and all gps have arguments. you must be able to do something! we don‘t, you just must rest. some patients are having arguments it is interesting. you have at some angry people in the surgery. they want antibiotics? they just don‘t understand there is nothing would you can do. i had to get a patient accompanied out of my room and even though i said it would be easy for me to give you a prescription, you would be out of here, i can see the next patient but it‘s not going to make you better. can you understand the frustration when people say, i had the flu jab and it‘s not protecting me. it was designed for aussie flu? it has as and a b. the childhood nasal one is protecting against the japanese b strain which is going around. the main back need —— the main vaccine is not protecting against the japanese one but that said, if you haven‘t had a flu jab, the young people with asthma, they are not coming up the jabs as much. pregnant women need to come in and get the jab. you could get b flu and then get the flu a week later. what is the message you are sending out? those in the act risk groups. go and get the vaccine if you are in an at risk group. though not the surgery and ask. if you think you have got the blue, he can you think you have got the blue, he ca n always you think you have got the blue, he can always burn your surgery for advice. wash your hands frequently. this is really boring but wash your hands. if you are hot desking at work, wiped the keyboard is down. use tissues and pin them. simple hygiene stuff. it can make a difference in stopping giving it to somebody else. it is coming up to 7:45a.m.. some somebody else. it is coming up to 7:45 a.m.. some breaking news. somebody else. it is coming up to 7:45a.m.. some breaking news. a large fire has broken out at nottingham railway station. these are the latest pictures. it‘s still dark out there. fire and rescue are saying they are dealing with a large incident. the station has been evacuated. east midland trains say all trains are cancelled and are expecting disruptions. a large cord and has been placed around the station for safety but obviously today, if you‘re planning to travel anywhere near or through the railway station, your plans. —— cordon. here is matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. good morning, both of you. good morning as well. the little is changing with the weather at the moment. some will see sunshine, for most the grey skies will remain. some morning mist and fog, even a bit of frost around. as we go through sunday night into monday there is a spell of wet and windy weather set to push across the country. that will bring a marked change in the next week. blue skies back at times but it will feel colder and there will be a little bit of sleet and snow as we see frequent showers pushing across the uk. afew frequent showers pushing across the uk. a few days away for the time being, but stuck with the grave for many. across parts of scotland, western fringes of england and wales, either side of free. that is because we have had too much cloud through the night. some dense patches of fog to start the day, and that will take awhile to shift. some issues on the morning commute. generally misty over the hills and a cloud in eastern england throughout the day quick enough —— thickener for the odd spot of light rain and drizzle. the sunshine will come out here and there, the best favoured for that parts of western wales, some in north—west england, and the far north of scotland. temperatures in the sunshine fairly similar, but the sunshine will make all the difference. where you have clear skies there could be a touch of frost around parts of northern scotla nd frost around parts of northern scotland best favoured. patchy rain and drizzle towards the east by turning wet across northern ireland for the night, and by the end of the night, maybe into the western fringes of scotland, pembrokeshire, and also in the west cornwall and the isles of scilly. keeping the temperature is up here, cool further east. into the weekend forecast, expect lots of cloud once again. maybe some brighter breaks the east of england compared with recent days. north—east scotland seeing sunshine. elsewhere cloudy conditions. rain on and off throughout the day in northern ireland, turning down the far west of scotland, wales, into devon, and for most of the further east you are should be fairly dry. the wind coming back off the continent, could be some frost to take us from saturday night in the sunday. in the sunday our weather front just decays in situ. the scotland and western parts of england and wales, cloudy, damp day on sunday. some brighter conditions towards the east of england expected but the breeze will freshen later on and here comes the wet and windy weather i mentioned. gales and severe gales could accompany a band of rain sweeping its way southwards andy swiss through sunday night in the first pa rt through sunday night in the first part of monday. some particularly lively bursts of rain on that, gusty winds as well, and follow the isobars all the way back into greenlands, northern parts of canada. much colder air set to push in next week. it will sweep away the greatness of the past few days, introducing a little bit of sunshine at times, but temperatures will drop and you will notice the wind chill more than anything else. strong to gale force winds through a good part of next week and that will bring in frequent showers, heavy hail and thunder, and as the air gets colder we expect some sleet and snow as well, especially across northern and western parts of the uk.” well, especially across northern and western parts of the uk. i will make two observations. for one, magnificent handwaving this morning. but also, getting pretty nippy, isn‘t it? but also, getting pretty nippy, isn't it? it is, yes. still in the throes of winter. you will notice that next week, especially in the wind. i thought he would give us an extra wave, but he has not risen to it. jazz hands! banks are thinking about sharing our information, and supposedly it will be better for us and we will get better deals from them. this is what ben is looking at. a lot of scepticism about the idea of sharing financial information. we should say first of all you have to agree to sherratt but also it is the idea of not needing to fill into a form every time you going to a different bank orfinancial time you going to a different bank or financial institution. it should make it easier to move around and be more fickle when it comes to things like banking apps. the way we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever. it is called open banking and it is the biggest shakeup in a generation. so why, and what does it mean for us? well, for years, our high street banks have dominated the market for savings and current accounts. most of us stay with the same bank for decades, and so the regulator wants to make it easier to shop around, creating more competition. we could save nearly £100 a year just by switching banks, and even more if you regularly use a loan, overdraft or mortgage. but, at the moment, there are too many forms to fill in each time we want to sign up to something new. so new eu rules mean big banks will be forced to share our information, if we ask them to, so we can sign up to new deals, switch accounts, or get better interest rates at the click of a button. butjust how safe is it? well, when you sign up for a new product, you will be asked if you want your financial data to be shared, and who you want to share it with. the first thing is bringing all our accou nts the first thing is bringing all our accounts into one place, so i might look on a smartphone or banking app and see not just look on a smartphone or banking app and see notjust the current account from that bank at other products and services that i might have as well, a credit card or loan and overdraft, for example. the third one will be around financial management, and that will be things like overdraft alerts, for example. better products which are more suited to me, and the ability to switch to those products as well. but how safe is it? well, it won‘t be if you don‘t agree to it. but not everybody is convinced by the changes. a recent survey found that the majority of consumers are sceptical about sharing their financial data. one of the biggest concerns is security. people will be sharing sensitive financial data. third parties, perhaps brands you have never heard of, will be able to take a real peek into your current account and look at where you spend, your habits and your vices, and do you feel comfortable sharing that? of course there is the risk that that data could go astray or it could be intercepted by fraudsters, and they would really hold the keys to your financial life. remember, you have to give your permission before anyone can see your data. all this officially begins tomorrow, but only a small number of the banks say they are ready for the changes. others have been given more time. credit card companies, mortgage firms and insurers will all sign up soon, too, so you might not notice any big changes just yet. but the changes are coming, and the revolution starts tomorrow. would you try this behind us? if you visit thirlmere, in the lake district, you might soon get a chance to. a consultation on building a new zip wire across the reservoir there ends today. developers say it will encourage tourism, but conservationists aren‘t happy, as brea kfast‘s graham satchell reports. hidden in the trees next to lake windermere, a zip wire. keir and will are about to go down for the first time. i booked this for his birthday. he 20 tomorrow. —— he is 20 tomorrow. would you normally come to the lakes, anyway? we haven‘t been before, no. go! bringing new people to the lakes is just one reason. treetop trek want to build one more zip wire half an hour at the road, at thirlmere. so you can‘t really do this story without actually having a go. so here we go. one, two, three! so the people behind this new zip wire say it will create 15 newjobs, and should create £600,000 for the economy, and there should be 50,000 people a year using it. it is about getting outdoors, doing something you wouldn‘t normally do, challenging yourself. and i think the more people we can encourage to get outdoors, and to get up into the fells and to get around the lakes, the better. the plans would see four wires going across the water one way, at thirlmere, a quick trek, and then four wires going back to the other side. and this is thirlmere — breathtaking, majestic, serene, and surprising. it is surprising because, actually, most of what you can see here is man—made. the trees, for example, were planted in the early 19005. and the water is not a lake, it is a reservoir, built in the 18905 to supply water to manchester, which it still does today. there was a huge row, when this reservoir was built, between industrialists and city folk to the south and a group of locals, including the poet and philosopher john ruskin, who many consider to be the founding father of modern conservationists. ruskin lost the first battle of thirlmere. but the group he was part of, now called the friends of the lakes district, is determined not to lose this one. i love getting out, getting away from it all. and i think having all these visitors here will spoil that, will spoil the landscape. zip wires have a place, but not in this landscape, and certainly not across an expanse of open water. i‘ve been on one. you do scream, you can‘t help it. it would just be awful to have that here, when you come here for peaceful walks in nature. what do you thinkjohn ruskin would have made of your zip wire proposal? i have absolutely no idea whatsoever. but we shouldn‘t be afraid of words like "thrill" and "fun." they should go hand—in—hand with words like "peace" and "serenity." these pictures show what it might be like to go on the proposed new zip wire. there is a big question here. should the lake district be opened up to more people who wouldn‘t normally come, or should it be left in peace, as it is? one thing is not in question, it is a stunningly beautiful place.” haven‘t been there for a long time and am planning to go very soon. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it is the third strike this week in a dispute with the rmt union over the role of guards. south—western railway says it hopes to run about 70% of services, but passengers travelling on the network, including out of waterloo station, are likely to face delays or disruption.

weddings, including those of sir paul mccartney, liam gallagher and cilla black. it was the first place in england to host civil partnership and same—sex marriages, and has now been conserved for the next generation. i came here just before christmas, and i came here on my own early one morning, and ijust sat in one of the rooms. and i wasjust so proud of the transformation. because on the whole it looks the same, and, you know, nothing has been displaced. everything is still in place, all the wood panelling and all of that. but it‘s got such a — it‘s just got such an amazing uplift, and it‘s — i‘m just so proud of it. let‘s have a look at the travel situation now. there is a good service on the tubes this morning. however, the london overground has no service from gospel oak to barking, because of engineering works. on the roads, the a13 is slow—moving westbound from dagenham to barking — the usual delays. in spitalfield, commercial street is partially blocked southbound, near to brushfield street, because a manhole has collapsed. in highgate, the a1 archway road is slow southbound, approaching the woodman traffic lights, because of roadworks. let‘s have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday it was very damp, drizzly and murky. it‘s a similar sort of morning today. a very uninspiring start, but i‘m hopeful that we should see something a bit brighterform as we head into the afternoon. so we‘re beginning the morning off on around 5—6 degrees celsius. not too chilly, but there could be a few early fog patches around, and a few spots of drizzle, particularly out towards western areas, where they may continue as we head into the afternoon. but further east of that line, the cloud should thin and break. we‘ll get some brighter spells, top temperatures between 7—9 degrees celsius. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, the breeze will pick up a touch, so mist and fog not too much of an issue into tomorrow morning. a few spots of rain, low cloud around again. lows of 4—5 degrees celsius. now, temperatures will go down a touch over the course of the weekend. a lot of cloud around — mostly dry, some brighter spells at times. turning windy by the end of sunday, and then it‘s a wet start to the new working week. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. donald trump abandons plans to visit britain next month. he was planning to visit next month despite planned protests. in the past few hours he‘s tweeted that he has no intention of cutting the ribbon because the building represents a bad deal for the united states. this is how the us embassy looks this morning. we will be there

will have another great day but there is some sunshine on the way, i will tell you where that is and give you the full weekend forecast and news of colder weather next week in the next 15 minutes. donald trump has confirmed he won‘t visit britain next month. in the past couple of hours the us president tweeted that he had cancelled the planned visit as he didn‘t want to open the new american embassy commissioned by his predecessor, barack obama. danjohnson has the story. after nearly 60 years flying above london‘s grosvenor square, the stars and stripes were lowered ready for the opening of the new us embassy. it‘s billion—dollar building on the southbank and donald trump was due to open it next month. now we know he won‘t and early this morning, he posted his reasons on twitter: but did the prospect of protests like this also put him off? this was the response to his ban on travellers from certain muslim countries. a petition drew 1.8 million signatures with calls to ban him. it shouldn‘t be a state visit because it would be embarrassing to the queen and the rest of the uk. theresa may was the first world leader to reach out to the new president and a return trip, a state visit, was promised soon. but then the president strained the special relationship by sharing online far—right videos from the group called britain first. when theresa may condemned, he then retorted. just last weekend, she confirmed the invite still stands. he is taking decisions in the best interests of the united states. and he is coming to this country? he will be coming to the country. the foreign secretary denied the queen would be embarrassed. i think her majesty the queen is capable of taking this american president or any american president in her stride, as she has done over six remarkable decades. let‘s be clear. opening this place was never the same as a state visit. it would have been a shorter, less formal trip. meeting the queen is still on, expected this year, but no date has been set. the president is denying this decision is down to politics but after he offended more countries with a foul—mouthed remark last night, the list of places he is welcome certainly isn‘t growing. our correspondent, john donnison is outside the american embassy for us this morning. good morning, donald trump making no reference to potential protests over here, he says it‘s all about the rather magnificent building behind you. that's right, this is the "off" location as donald trump described it and this is what $1 billion get you. one of the workers told me it‘s more like £1 billion, it has come in over budget. some of those workers a bit bemused by all the attention. we have heard it was cancelled from donald trump‘s perspective. talking toa number of donald trump‘s perspective. talking to a number of sources and several told us it was cancelled because of concerns about possible demonstrations. another source said it was because the president did not wa nt to it was because the president did not want to travel to europe again so soon after the davos summit. sources did say it was not because of those strained relations we were hearing about in the report from dan johnson. for the moment, thank you very much. we urge we are hearing that a large fire has broken out at nottingham railway station. nottinghamshire fire and rescue say they‘re dealing with a ‘large incident‘ with eight appliances in attendance. the station has been evacuated. a statement from east midlands trains seeing emergency services have been called, no reports of injuries to customers or staff and east midlands trains say they will continue to assist in the emergency services however they can. advice for any would—be travels is that no trains will be stopping at the station and till further notice and the advice to customers is to not travel to or travel from nottingham station. passengers advised to check with east midlands trains. an 18—year—old from the scottish highlands has died after contracting the flu virus. bethany walker was airlifted to hospital in inverness from her home but her illness had developed into pneumonia and staff are unable to save her life. there has been a sharp rise in the number of flu cases seen by gp‘s, 5000 people admitted to hospital with flu in the first week of january. people admitted to hospital with flu in the first week ofjanuary. this winter has proved tougher than any previous. we as doctors put patient ca re previous. we as doctors put patient care at the centre of our focus and it is our number one priority. this winter we have seen an unprecedented levels that care being compromised, delays in treatment, not being able to see patients in a timely manner. we decided it was time to speak up and raise our concerns. the role played by the media is to be examined by the manchester arena bombing inquiry. 22 people were killed at the end of an ariana grande concert last may. some families who used social media to appeal for information about missing relatives found themselves subjected to intrusive attention. judith moritz reports. the manchester arena explosion shattered countless lives. 22 were lost. many more were changed forever. the attack made international headlines and that meant there was huge media interest in the stories of those most closely affected. they included the

ahead of her 65th anniversary on the throne in a rare interview to be broadcast by the bbc. speaking to the royal commentator alastair bruce, her majesty describes the weight of the crown and being uncomfortable in the carriage she travelled in. alastair willjoin us in a moment, but first here‘s our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. she famously doesn‘t do interviews. this is probably as close as she will get. a conversation with questions about the coronation, the crownjewels and the imperial state crown worn by her and her father, king george vi. fortunately my father and i have about the same sort of shaped head. once you put it on, it stays. it just remains itself. you have to keep your head very still. yes, and you can‘t look down to read the speech, you have to take the speech up because if you did, your neck would break, it would fall off. so there are some disadvantages to crowns but otherwise, they‘re quite important things. she rode her coronation in the gold state coach. it weighs four tonnes. it‘s not built for comfort. horrible. it‘s not meant for travelling in at all. it‘s only sprung on leather. so it rocks around a lot? not very comfortable. were you in it for a long time? i rode around london. really? we must have gone four orfive miles. you can only go at walking pace. the horses couldn‘t possibly go any faster. it‘s so heavy. 65 years after the event, a monarch talking about her coronation. the crown, the real one. nicholas witchell, bbc news. alastair bruce, who spoke with the queen, joins us now from our southampton studio. good morning, thank you for talking to us, what was it like talking to the queen about these things?m to us, what was it like talking to the queen about these things? it was an enormous privilege, such a joy after 22 years of planning the possibility and then getting the chance to film the crown jewels for the first time. they belong to us and giving a chance of our production to tell the story to the united kingdom. then having the queen herself explain the story was lovely. how many years in the planning? 22 years. why did it take so long? as a young lad i made a com plete so long? as a young lad i made a complete set of replicas out of the clay and has played them at school. a friend of mine at school have been working on this for 22 years and have been asking and now the royal collection have given permission and the queen also, to mark the 65th anniversary. did it live up to expectations? hugely, it was a huge honour to go into the tower of london on treating sick of night and film with some of the most precise commitment equipment in the world. thenin commitment equipment in the world. then in october when we went to buckingham palace. the queen to talk about it, it is very exciting. what was she like? she was unbelievably charming to me. she has a delightful sense of humour without in any way undermining the importance and role of the crown jewels to her and all of the crown jewels to her and all of us. she made it very accessible to understand what exactly like to wear a crown and what it meant to her to have this five lbs crown on her to have this five lbs crown on her head. it was made for king charles ii in 1662, 1661, so long time ago. so doesn't it fit her head if it was made for a man? no, it was made for a bewigged head of a great king from the past but a frame was made with it. imagine five lbs in wait, that is a lot of bags of sugar and she was 27 which one must remember. we saw the pictures of the crime being brought into the room and a gentleman of white gloves, does she touch it or is she respectfully leaving it be? three people are allowed to touch, the archbishop of canterbury, the other of course is the queen. and the crown jewel is the third person. the queen was interested because it was the first time she had touched that crown since she was crowned with it in 1953 so she did sort of tappet and take hold of it. how long did you have to talk to her? an hour and a half, it was really special. in the middle of an afternoon. the team worked really ha rd the middle of an afternoon. the team worked really hard and ijust had the privilege of spending a peaceful time helping the queen reflect upon our memories. you mentioned at the beginning of the interview that she was quite frank and open, funny as well. the programme is on on sunday evening, what can you give us, give usa evening, what can you give us, give us a snippet which tells us the things you spoke about?” us a snippet which tells us the things you spoke about? i think what is most exciting is that the crown ‘s belong to us and they are probably the best—known set of national symbols in the world but the least understood and i think it‘s because the queen understands how important they are to us all that she‘s helped us start the process with the royal collection of making the royal collection of crown jewels better understood to the whole of the night king. not many others get to meet the queen. where are you surprised by how candid she was?” queen. where are you surprised by how candid she was? i think the queen had decided what she wanted to talk about. i could not ask any direct questions, so i made comments on the queen picked up on what she wa nted on the queen picked up on what she wanted to say. she said it with great delight. she was terribly funny, i think. great delight. she was terribly funny, ithink. and great delight. she was terribly funny, i think. and very good at explaining and remembering things that had happened a long time ago. there is an interesting story behind the crown, when it was buried, in windsor, what happened there? king george vi, the queen‘s windsor, what happened there? king george vi, the queen ‘5 father, was worried about what would happen to the crown jewels if britain was invaded. in the second world war, the danger of that was very great. he had them taken to windsor castle from the tower. a library in doubt about the principal stones and wrap them in tissue paper and put them in a ten. i remember these biscuit tins. and they were just easily hidden in a way that you could run away with them. they were placed underneath the ground and windsor castle. i don‘t think anyone would know where to look. what was the sense you feel as the queen reflects on those years? i think the queen has achieved a most remarkable reign. and because the united kingdom hasn‘t had a correlation for so long, we don‘t understand the significance of the crown jewels so long, we don‘t understand the significance of the crownjewels and what is lovely about these symbols, they‘re a good guidance to a monarch but also to anyone in a position of leadership, whether running a garage ona leadership, whether running a garage on a motorway or a shop at the corner of the street. if you learn to hold the sceptre of kingly power with a glove, which is a tradition in this country, started by ed woodward, the confessor, then reminds you of power and what more beautiful way to remind people to be gentle in the use of power. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. ‘the coronation‘ is on bbc one this sunday at 8pm. fascinating. because it is first—hand and it is what she is saying. here‘s matt with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning. it should be enough time to tell you weather is changing. some mist and fog. there will be sunshine. on sunday night, expect wet and windy weather. blue skies returning more likely. it will feel colder. and a change in thejet stream, it is rushing out of the us and canada and then we have this big undulating pattern across the atlantic. never quite reaching us. but come sunday night, thatjet strea m but come sunday night, thatjet stream rushes towards us and that will help to engineer a change. for many this morning, misty and damp. f°99y many this morning, misty and damp. foggy conditions across western england and wales in particular. frosty in a few spots in the west. once that is gone, some sunshine for west wales, north—west england and the north of scotland. for most, predominantly cloudy. a chance of rain in the east. temperatures feeling better. a southerly air flow across the country tonight. some frost in northern scotland. a weather front trying to bring about change. it will be a slow process. it will trundle eastwards, gradually pushing across west wales. the heaviest of the rain is on exposed hills. the southern portion of the brecon beacons and into the southern uplands later. the odd spot of drizzle. a cool night for saturday and sunday. a touch of frost, maybe, patchy rain and drizzle, the best of any sunny breaks towards the east. the change comes later. rather cold on sunday but wet and windy weather. the jet stream will push that band of heavy rain, severe gale force, right across the country into monday. the isobars go all the way up monday. the isobars go all the way up into greenland, originating in canada, so much colder air to come. next week, after that wet start to monday, a good deal brighter, strong to gale force winds will feed frequent showers. some may contain sleet and snow. if you are fed up with these great conditions, like this picture shows, things are about to change. thank you very much. we have been hearing that a large fire has broken out at nottingham railway station. fire and rescue say they are dealing with a large incident. eight appliances are in attendance. east midlands trains a all trains through the station cancelled expect disruptions for the rest of the morning. let‘s get the latest from bbc radio nottinghamhaley compton. what are you seeing? good morning. i can see at least nine police and fire engines at the moment on one side of the train station. that is on queen street. all of the roads around the train station have been blocked. there are passengers thinking they‘re going to get their trains and then are completely bemused by the fact that the street is just bemused by the fact that the street isjust a bemused by the fact that the street is just a scene of blue flashing lights at the moment. there are lots of fire fighters, picking up helmets, speaking to each other, changing shifts, and lots of people from east midlands trains, they‘re turning people away and directing them to a coach service on the other side of the street. at the moment, i have been told there is most sign anyone has been injured and no fatalities to report at this moment. i have spoken to people living across the road from the train station and apparently at 6:30am, there were thick plumes of black smoke coming out of the train station because of unconfirmed reports of a fire in one of the toilets on the platform. maybe we can return to the pictures, we were showing these earlier, it is hard to get a sense of the scale of the blaze but from this camera angle, it clearly a significant fire? well, yes, at the moment, from the side of the train station i am at, a p pa re ntly the train station i am at, apparently the plumes were very high in the air, people could see it, it is being masked at the moment by... inaudible no indication so far because the fire service is still in control of this incident. i hope to speak to the incident commander in charge of what is going on at the moment but clearly there will be no one coming in or out of the train station for a long time today. we believe that there. if you‘re planning on travelling in nottingham, please check locally about how it affect you. apparently, banks want to share our details and thatis banks want to share our details and that is supposed to be good for us? yes, rather than fill in a form, if you share information, they can fill out these forms automatically. the way that we bank, borrow and save is about to change forever. the revolution starts tomorrow, we‘re told, you can ask your bank to share your details with other companies. it is designed to give you a better deal and make it easier to switch accou nts deal and make it easier to switch accounts and move money without having to fill in long and laborious forms. we should be clear, banks will only do that if you agree to it and you can stipulate how long you wa nt to and you can stipulate how long you want to share that information. elsewhere, the future of

the weather as we go through to next week but in the meantime this morning is misty and murky, patches of fog to be aware of. into the afternoon it will stay largely cloudy, mostly dry. i say mostly because patches of rain and drizzle affecting eastern areas of england, that‘ll work west, might see some drizzle later on. towards south—west england, wales, north—west england some patches of fog around and after a cold start that will clear, sunny spells breaking through, best of the sunshine in the far north—west of scotland. through this evening and night we will continue with patchy rain and drizzle, still quite a bit of cloud, hill fog around as well and then into the early hours of saturday morning this area of rain will move its way into northern ireland, the far west of wales and the south—west of england. you notice those temperatures staying above freezing so a frost free start to the weekend. for the weekend itself it will be mostly cloudy, the rain in the west, that will be sticking around and western areas, some rain at times and breezy start the weekend. that breeze coming in from the size with rain affecting northern ireland, wales and the south—west of england into the west of scotla nd south—west of england into the west of scotland as well. it will not move forfrom of scotland as well. it will not move for from these western areas but in the east the odd shower here and there, a few breaks in the cloud perhaps developing but the theme is cloudy weather and temperatures of about 5—9dc. by sunday that weather front, has pretty much cleared away. it will become driver many on sunday, some brighter skies but the next area of rain spread into scotla nd next area of rain spread into scotland and northern ireland, strengthening south—westerly and as it cruised through sunday night into monday it will turn much colder. more details on the website. this is business live from bbc news with jamie robertson and samantha simmonds. open banking is set to
