Freddie ljungberg. After a relatively dry start on the east, wet and windy weather in the west will move across all areas today. The strongest winds in the north and the west. I will have more inis north and the west. I will have more in 15 minutes. Remember the ice bucket challenge. Tributes are paid to the man who inspired it, raising more than £150 million for charity. It is tuesday 10 december. Our Top Story Police in new zealand are launching a criminal investigation into the deaths of 13 people after a volcanic explosion at a popular Tourist Destination. White island remains too dangerous to access, but aerial reconnaissance flights have detected no further sign of life there. Doctors treating the 31 injured fear some have suffered burns so severe they may not survive. Our correspondent Shaima Khalil has this report. The Prime Minister on the sight of where those who were affected by the devastation were first taken, praising those who jumped straight into helper. They worked tirelessly in the most devastating circumstances. Any of them had not yet rested or slept. Told that the impact of this extraordinary tragedy has had on them was obvious. Police are now launching a criminal investigation into the deaths and injuries after the eruption on white island. We know to there will be bigger questions in relation to this event. These questions must be asked, and they must be answered. One of the paramedics who helped move the injured into safety described the scene. It was like like ive seen the chernobyl miniseries. There wasjust everything wasjust miniseries. There wasjust everything was just blanketed miniseries. There wasjust everything wasjust blanketed in ash. It was quite an overwhelming feeling. The police and the army have tried to launch a drone for surveillance on the island, but were unable to do so because of windy conditions. The situation there remains quite unstable, with officials saying that there is a 50 chance of a smaller size or a similar eruption happening within the next 2a hours. But even a small eruption can have devastating effects. The focus is now mainly on helping the families of those who have died and giving the injured the ca re have died and giving the injured the care they need, but more questions will be asked about why they were allowed on such a volatile place. Shaimaa khalil, bbc news, whakatane. Our reporter danny vincentjoins us now with the latest from new zealand. Good morning. What more do we know this morning . Well, what we do know is there have been five people that have been declared dead and there are still eight people missing, but the latest is that the police have stated that they intend to create a criminal investigation. Now, this is very much a town in morning. Of course, the island which is behind me to my right is known as an active island, an active volcano. But what happened here yesterday has shocked this community, but at the same time there are questions that are unanswered. Many people are wondering why the tourists were allowed to go to this island at all at the time. At the same time, the mayor has said that this criminal investigation is part of the process in trying to understand exactly what happened yesterday, and what lessons can be learned. Thank you very much for that, danny. We will be speaking to the new zealand red cross about how it is helping the local Community Just before 6 30am. Borisjohnson has been criticised after initially refusing to look at a picture of a sick four year old boy who had to sleep on the floor of a leeds hospital. The picture in the daily mirror ofjack, who had suspected pneumonia, spurred complaints about nhs cuts. Breakfasts tim muffett is at leeds general infirmary this morning. Remind us of what happened, tim. Yes, good morning. It wasnt the easiest of days for the Prime Minister on the campaign trail, and many of the difficulties stemmed from many of the difficulties stemmed fro m eve nts many of the difficulties stemmed from events that have taken place here at leeds general infirmary. Lets remind ourselves of what happened yesterday. The troubles for him first really started when he was asked by an itv reporter, joe pike, to ta ke asked by an itv reporter, joe pike, to take a look at the picture you mentioned which was on the front page of yesterdays daily mirror of a sick four year old asleep on the floor of this hospital. He initially refused to look at the photograph and put the reporters phone in his pocket. Lets take a little look at what happened. 40 new hospitals. I am talking about this boy, Prime Minister. How do you feel, looking at this photo . Let me tell youi havent had a chance to look at it. Look at it now, Prime Minister. Look at it now. Well, he did eventually look at the photograph, and he apologised for taking the reporters phone. The Prime Minister was then quizzed about this a little later by other journalists, quizzed about this a little later by otherjournalists, asking why he hadnt looked at the picture, and he didnt directly answer that question, but he did reiterate conservative pledges to properly fund the nhs. The Health Secretary, matt hancock, was then sent to the hospital to try and repair some of the damage. He did apologise for what had happened. He was also then heckled by some protesters as he left the building. So quite a lot of reaction to this, as you would expect. The Leeds Teaching Hospitals nhs trust said the hospitals nhs trust said the hospital had been extremely busy. They were very sorry to jacks family for having had a long wait and they had had a significant increase in the number of people visiting the Paediatric Emergency department, the highest number since april 2016. Other political leaders, as you would expect, commented as well. Jeremy corbyn said that we should be no doubt the conservatives because the crisis by depriving the nhs of the funding it needs. The liberal leader, jo swinson, said the Prime Minister wouldnt look at the photograph because the Prime Minister doesnt care about anything but himself, and Ian Blackford said the Prime Minister had no empathy and no moral compass. So not the easiest of days for the Prime Minister. Today we expect him to be talking about brexit, and we know thatis talking about brexit, and we know that is a subject he is far keener to focus upon. Borisjohnson and Jeremy Corbyn are concentrating on what they regard as vote winning issues for their parties, with 48 hours to go before the polls open in the general election. The Prime Minister will say that only a majority conservative government can break the brexit deadlock, while the labour leader will set out his plans for the nhs. Lets talk now to our Political Correspondent chris mason, who is at westminster. We will talk about todays campaigning ina we will talk about todays campaigning in a moment, butjust on the fallout from what happened yesterday, first of all, i know you dealt with it on electioncast as well. That will dominate a lot of the discussion today, wont it . |j think it will, because there havent been, in this campaign, all that many events, moments, things that happen organically that end up shaping the conversation on the campaign trail. And what happened yesterday in leeds, with those revelations that the Yorkshire Evening post got hold of and the daily mail picks up on, and joe pike, the daily mail reporter, scrutinised borisjohnson about, really felt like one of those moments, not least because it played right into the hands of labour and Jeremy Corbyn who regard the nhs as territory politically that they see as their own. Now, the conservatives argue that they are putting a lot of money into the Health Service. As tim was saying, matt hancock, the Health Secretary, was dispatched to leeds general infirmary pretty quickly. But the Prime Ministers response in that conversation with itv was something that well, was seized upon very, very quickly by his political opponents. Jeremy corbyn will pick up annette today. He is talking about if he is a Prime Minister having an immediate audit of risk, as he describes it, for the nhs of risk, as he describes it, for the nhs pick up on it. The buildings that need additional work. And the headlines keep coming. The daily mirror had that headline of little jack yesterday, another arresting image on its front page this morning ofa image on its front page this morning of a nine Year Old Girl called lily, from chester, asleep on a hospital chair. Again, a case study, if you like, of the pressure is the nhs is under this winter. As sally was mentioning, borisjohnson under this winter. As sally was mentioning, Boris Johnson returning to his core election theme today of brexit that slogan, to get the exit done, and his fear that if there we re done, and his fear that if there were to be a Hung Parliament, you would have yet more parliamentary paralysis rather than Decisive Action on the government. 0k, paralysis rather than Decisive Action on the government. Ok, so much to look forward to today. And in ourmeet much to look forward to today. And in our meet leaders series, we are completing the set. Jeremy corbyn will be here just after eight a. M. As we complete the set of all the leaders who have popped up and been scrutinised in some detail and some depth, and loads of questions for Jeremy Corbyn. Because here we are, 48 hours before polling day, and the one thing we can absolutely guarantee in this election is that big changes coming, whatever the outcome, if there is either a conservative government, majority or minority, Labour Government, majority or minority. Because labours plans, to reshape the economy, to reshape the role of government within society, are very, very big by any modern precedent, and the conservatives want to deliver brexit within a matter of about six weeks, a huge, significant change. So quite a 48 hours ahead and a big interview to look forward to after eighta. M. And a big interview to look forward to after eight a. M. And a reminder, if you have just switched on, to after eight a. M. And a reminder, if you havejust switched on, we have done a series of meeting all the leaders, they have all come on the leaders, they have all come on the bbc breakfast so far. We have taken the sofa toJeremy Corbyn this morning, and louise will be talking to him fora morning, and louise will be talking to him for a good length of time, as we have done with older leaders, trying to find about their policies and also about them as a person. That is just after eight a. M. Aung san suu kyi, the de facto leader of myanmar, will appear at the Uns International Court ofjustice in the netherlands this morning to face charges of genocide against the countrys Rohingya Muslim population. Around 750,000 rohingya fled to bangladesh two years ago during a violent crackdown by myanmars military. The leader, who was once hailed as a human rights champion, has denied all allegations. Ukraine and russia say they will to try to Exchange Prisoners and implement a ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine before the end of the year, but the first direct talks between the leaders of the two countries failed to Reach Agreement on wider political issues related to the fighting between Ukrainian Forces and russian backed separatists. Another round of negotiations will be held within four months. The man who helped inspire the global fund raising phenomenon known as the ice bucket challenge has died at the age of 34. Pete frates was diagnosed with als, a degenerative condition that affects the nervous system, seven years ago. In 2014 he was instrumental in starting the ice bucket challenge, where people poured cold water over themselves and posted footage on social media. An estimated £160 million was raised worldwide. It is an amazing influence to have, isnt it . Incredible, and raising awareness of the because he was campaigning for. And you did it, didnt you . You sometimes get things, dont you, where for a few weeks everyone was doing it, and i got nominated a few times, tried to avoid it, and my kids asked if they could throw the buckets of water. And did they . They did. Do we have evidence of this . I think there might be. I have lost the video but iam sure might be. I have lost the video but i am sure someone on might be. I have lost the video but i am sure someone on the breakfast tea m i am sure someone on the Breakfast Team will find it at some stage. L source tells me we will be showing it later. Time for sport. I think were going to share it, arent we . Are you ready for talking about arsenal. Arsenals winless streak is finally over. They come from behind to beat west ham 3 1 for their first win in ten games, also their first under stand in manager freddie ljungberg. This is normally when i eat my brea kfast remember these scenes . Well, liverpool need a point at salzburg tonight or they are likely to be out of the Champions League at the group stage, just six months after they won the trophy. Russia have been banned from all major sporting events for four years. The World Anti Doping Agency voted unanimously to impose the ban after russia were found to have manipulated lab data. And rory mcilroy has turned down an offer to play in next months European Tour event in saudi arabia. He said there was a morality to his decision, and hejust didnt want to go there. Which is a really interesting point of view, isnt it . Because we saw anthonyjoshua of view, isnt it . Because we saw Anthony Joshua and of view, isnt it . Because we saw anthonyjoshua and quite a few other sporting events have had a lot of money thrown at them to be hosted there, and there are always questions about political regime and human rights. It is quite a few sportsmen have taken the money. And saudi arabia very keen to make themselves a sporting destination, i guess. It is interesting for him to ta ke guess. It is interesting for him to take a stand, isnt it . I am delighted to be sitting here on a momentous occasion, because guess what. Momentous occasion, because guess what. She is back. Carol is back with this mornings weather. |j wondered with this mornings weather. wondered what had happened there, good morning, everybody. What a day to come back. Wait until you see the to come back. Wait until you see the weather forecast, because today some of us already have some heavy rain, but were also looking at squally winds, and a whole lot is moving from the west to the east. It is going to be wet and windy at some stage in the day wherever you may be. Now, at the moment weve got some relatively clear skies on the east, but you can see all this cloud coming in from the west. This is rain bearing cloud. As i mentioned, some of it is particularly heavy. And its going to continue to journey from the west towards the east through the course of the day, eradicating that right start, but the wind will most certainly be a feature of the weather. So were looking at the kind of gusts, around about 50 60 mph for some, 60 70 mph with exposure and height, for example, across north wales, also the northern and western isles, and with that combination it could well lead some disruption. But temperatures fall in the mild side. Fairly academic in all this weather. We could hit 14 degrees, for example, somewhere like the murray coast. If you are travelling, it is worth bearing in mind this could lead to some travel disruption. The combination of the wind and also some rain. The wind certainly Strong Enough to bring down branches of trees, and you could run into them as you are driving or cycling along the road, and also with the heavy rain, some large puddles and a lot of surface water and spray. But look at the yellow is vanishing from the charts. As our cold front bringing the rain moves from the west to the east, behind it, cold airfollows in behind. These temperatures are indicative of towns and cities. In rural areas they will be lower, but with quite a noticeable wind. We are not anticipating any problems foremost with frost. So tomorrow morning we start off in a dry note, a bright note as well, the east that you travel. But you can see a lot of showers coming in from the west, drifting east. Some of them merging to give some stronger spells of rain. Still quite a noticeable breeze and we will be looking at some snow on the hills in the door. In fact, we could see snow on the hills almost anywhere. But it is a Higher Ground feature. Another thing you will notice tomorrow is the temperatures are going to be down on where they are today. Today we are looking at double figures. Tomorrow we are looking at single figures. But that will all change, so wednesday into thursday, this is the cold air represented by the blue. By thursday the next system coming our way is introducing milder air and some more rain once again. And that is what the week is like, a bit to psy tu rvy is what the week is like, a bit topsy turvy in terms of temperature. So once again a bright start on the east, but weve got rain coming in from the west, drifting eastwards through the course of the day. Again with some hill snow, especially so in the northern half of the coun
