of those communities in south northumberland that remained without our, now for an eighth day. the total now is about 5100 homes in north—east england, still without power. the arrival of the soldiers follows northumberland yesterday declaring a major incident, that follows neighbouring county durham which did that on thursday. the reason for doing that is, it unlocks further support and it is felt it is necessary to get the army in, to get people out on the streets, because they cannot be sure from northern power grid when exactly all those homes will have the power reconnected, so the soldiers will be going out knocking on doors, providing reassurance and we saw them yesterday in county durham also providing food parcel support, that kind of welfare that people without power might need. to give you an idea of how much longer this problem has to run, northern power grid say they have about 700 engineering projects left to do, 200 this weekend, another 500 to do next week, so the best

shooting at his school on tuesday with a semi—automatic pistol which had been bought by his father. aru na iyengar reports iam i am jennifer crumbley. the i amjennifer crumbley. the parents of ethan crumbley were found in a warehouse in detroit, hours after going on the run. a reward of $10,000 had been offered for information leading to their arrests. their lawyer says they fled for their own safety. the pair, seen here earlier following the arrest of their sun, face charges of involuntary manslaughter. prosecutors say they ignored warning signs before their 15—year—old sun ethan crumbley allegedly used his father's gun to shoot classmates in oxford, michigan, killing fourand wounding seven. james crumbley bought a gun and made it available to his sun. at school the teachers spotted ethan searching online for ammunition and alerted his mother. prosecution says she later sent text messages to her son saying, i am not mad at you, you have to learn not to get caught. then on the morning of the killings, teachers contacted the parents over a note ethan had drawn. the note contains the following... a drawing of a semiautomatic handgun pointing out the words, the thoughts won't

ukraine. the us president and vladamir putin are due to talk over the next few days about the build—up of nearly 100,000 russian troops near the ukraine border. us media is reporting that us intelligence officials fear that an invasion could take place early next year. cat micro—chipping is to be made compulsory in the uk under new government rules. owners will have to microchip their cats by the time their pets are 20 weeks old, or risk incurring a £500 fine. it is aimed at ensuring that the cats can be returned home if they stray or are stolen. fiona lamdin reports. seven—year—old scarab went missing in truro just days after his owner moved house. scarab just completely disappeared, so i was quite concerned, and i was really worried for him because, yeah, it was nearly a whole year. if it was not for the microchip, i would never have got him home. but 11 months later, the pair were reunited, as luckily he had been microchipped as a kitten. with the microchip they found out i was his owner and got him home to me. i burst into tears when i got the call, ijust couldn't believe it. he was so thrilled to come home, he wouldn't leave me alone for 2h hours, he was constantly rubbing his face on me and fussing at me. now there are plans in the coming year to get all pet cats chipped. it is going to be mandatory that all owners chip their cats once they are 20 weeks of age. we really, really welcome the idea. we get a lot of stray or injured cats that are brought in by members of the public. about half the time they are chipped, which means we can reunite them really quickly with their owners. and for those who don't, they could face a fine. if you are checked by an authorised person and found not to have a microchip, then you will be given 21 days to rectify that, and we would strongly advise for all the good reasons, you know, getting your animal microchipped and we know the average cost of that is about £17, it is well worth doing, otherwise after 21 days it precedes to become a criminal offence. so, what does the procedure which costs about £20 involve? it is really simple, theyjust come in and we can do it in a consultation. it isjust an injection underneath the scruff of their neck. it is done really quickly and often doesn't cause them any discomfort at all and it is over very, very quickly. each chip has a unique serial number which will link to a pet database where owners�* contact details are stored. there are thought to be 10.8 million cats in the uk, and while scarab and jane had a happy reunion, for the other 2.8 million, who are currently unchipped, the ending is not always a happy one. fiona lamdin, bbc news. the pope has arrived in athens at the start of a two—day visit to greece. it's the first papal trip to the greek capital for 20 years, and the city will be under high security. pope francis says he wants to improve relations with the orthodox church in greece and will visit the island of lesbos, which he last went to in 2016 at the height of the migration crisis. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 5.20pm. bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel with... it is 12 past 12. more now on the russian troop build up on ukraine's border. president biden has said he does not accept moscow's demands over ukraine. mr putin wants guarantees that nato won't expand any further to the east or deploy weapons systems near russian territory. earlier i spoke to james nixey, director of chatham house's russia and europe programmes and asked him why russia troops had been deployed there. they are making a statement. they are getting our attention, of course. the fact of the matter is that although president biden and putin met injune in geneva, it was cordial and useful perhaps, it couldn't overcome the fact that the two sides have fundamental differences about how the world should work and specifically about whether there should be this buffer state between russia and nato countries, if you like. there's no real getting over that and the russians have decided to up the anti with a specific proposal that nato should not be expanded to any further. obviously, the west disagrees. would russia seriously invaded eastern ukraine, where there are russian speakers or would it invade other parts of ukraine, where there is deep hostility towards russia? first of all, russians are already in ukraine. it has already annexed crimea, which is part of the ukraine. apart from that, going on further with 94,000 troops, it's a possibility. it could be made to do so. given the right provocations, either antagonised provocations, that's how the 2008 was started. it's not totally inconceivable. at the same time, russia has decided that if it gets what it once with muscularity then with diplomacy, so it is trying is muscularity now. what moves does president biden having of this? —— have in all of this? biden does have a weaker hands at the end of the day. forces are outnumbered and russia is more committed to muscular action then the westies. —— then the west is. the west doesn't want to escalate but russia is happy to do so. we don't have in empty hand. we quite clearly want to ramp up sanctions. we can start functioning russian sovereign debt stock we can remove them from international payments and target certain sectors, notably the energy sector. broadly of course, one can make sure that the defences and the resilience of these states like ukraine are reinforced with western training, money and weaponry. is there a danger of inadvertent or accidental conflict? nothing is impossible. certainly, wars have started that way in the past. i think we're quite a long way from that in the sense that these ithink we are a long way i think we are a long way from accidental shooting and a lot more can be done on a diplomatic scale and on the reinforcement scale before even getting to that point. the headlines on bbc news... the parents of a us teenager accused of killing four students, have been arrested after going on the run. south african scientists say the new coronavirus variant omicron appears to be spreading more than twice as fast as the delta variant. unvaccinated british mums who were severely ill with coronavirus, encourage pregnant women to get their covid jab in the uk. the metropolitan police say they'll consider correspondence asking them to investigate a claim that christmas parties were held in downing street last year in breach of covid rules. the force responded to the complaint by some labour mps by saying it wasn't their policy to routinely examine �*retrospective breaches' of covid rules. here's our political correspondent,

played at the party. this has caused quite a lot of upset among the public and the opposition, who have accused downing street of not following the very rules that they set out. at the time, london had been put into tier three restrictions, which meant that you were not meant to gather in christmas parties. in terms of the latest update on this now, number ten themselves have not commented on it. they haven't explained exactly how the rules were put in this party. two labour mps have written to the metropolitan police to ask them to investigate the alleged breaches of the coronavirus restrictions but today the police haveissued restrictions but today the police have issued a statement in response to that. it's not usually there responsibility to investigate retrospective reaches but they will look into the information received from the labour mps. angela rayner has also written to one of the uk's top civil servants asking whether they will be making a complaint to they will be making a complaint to the metropolitan police as well. the pressure is on number ten to explain just how these people at the party were allegedly following the rules. has this made a big impact

cressida dick that herfoals issued more than 1000 fixed penalty notices or finds in 2020 alone. he has asked for that to be reflected and for these claims and reports to be investigated fully. as i say, number ten are stressing that they did follow the rules and we are waiting for an explanation ofjust how that rules and we are waiting for an explanation of just how that was possible. the father

masks in england and concerns about the omicron variant affect footfall? our business correspondent katie prescott is in romford, in essex. well, the christmas tree is up here in the centre of romford and stores are selling everything from christmas trees to stockings branded with west ham and tottenham and christmas wreaths. the hope is that shoppers will also be getting into the christmas spirit today and willing to come and spend money on the high street at this crucial time for retail in the run—up to christmas. they have suffered so much during the pandemic and they are nervous that the omicron variant will make people nervous to come out and spend. having said that, stallholders have told me that they noticed it getting quite busy because people in the run—up to christmas are worried about new restrictions coming in and so they are trying to get their christmas shopping in early. there is optimism for a busy saturday here in romford, especially now that the rain has cleared but tinged with a bit of trepidation i say, certainly with memories of previous lockdowns. the killing of two young women in england — sarah everard and sabina nessa — brought to public focus the safety of women on uk streets. their deaths have prompted a group of women to set up a movement to help walkers feel safe going out after dark. "safety in numbers" now has nearly 100 members, as emily anderson reports. a cold winter's night but already it is very dark and tonight the group is walking up beacon hill together. safety in numbers was set up by dog walker katie hopkinson just less than one month ago. she is passionate about making women feel safe enough to go out when it is dark. it is so important for our mental health to get out in the countryside and enjoy the benefits of the countryside but doing it in a way that does not leave you feeling really anxious and i think certainly with high—profile cases such as sarah everard, i think it touched a lot of women's hearts and made them feel like being in alone in the dark is not an option. at the top of beacon hill now, which is the second highest point in leicestershire at 248 metres. ok, so you don't get those beautiful panoramic views of leicestershire that you would get in the day but i tell you what you do get — a real sense of achievement getting to this peak in the dark. i've been here a million times but never at this time of night, and never up here, so this is a first for me. so do you feel safe when you're out with this group? absolutely, yeah, no anxiety at all, and sometimes, that does creep up on you when you're walking on your own and somewhere remote. you sort of think "ii should not be here. "this is not very clever." butthere with the group, i haven't even _ butthere with the group, i haven't even thought about the fact. what would feel terrifying _ even thought about the fact. what would feel terrifying on _ even thought about the fact. wngt would feel terrifying on your own, it's a sort of primitive fear, isn't it? when we are in a group, there is no fear, we are laughing, we are having fun and it's turned out to be a real godsend. the group hope what started as an idea on social media will expand into a network of safety in numbers walking groups. emily anderson, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. hello, we've got quite a mixture of weather today. others will see some sunshine. we will see some of that early in the day in east scotland. cloud and rain will return here, and actually this area of rain is going to be quite slow—moving in scotland and northern england. north wales and northern england. north wales and northern england will turn increasingly work throughout the day.
