to trailblazing dj janice long — the first regular female presenter on top of the pops. good on top of the pops. morning. we have rain and a noticeable good morning. we have rain and a noticeable breeze across the south—west of england. patchy rain in the north of scotland in between a fair bit of cloud, but this week it will be very mild. by that i would get to wednesday parts of the south could reach 17 degrees. i will have all the details later in programme. it's monday the 27th of december. our top story. the uk's biggest energy firms will hold emergency meetings with the government today, amid growing concern over the rising cost of wholesale gas — and warnings of a national crisis which could see household energy bills hitting £2,000 per year. our business correspondent vishala sri—pathma has the details. it's been a constant worry for households for the past three months — rising prices of gas and electricity around the world have meant we've all been paying more to heat our homes and cook our meals. 26 energy companies have gone bust since september, and more casualties are expected in the industry, as there's no sign of prices falling. 0ur number—one ask going into the meeting is that the government and the regulator are taking the situation very seriously, and they're prepared to start taking action — not in the months to come, but in the days to come. because i think if we don't find a solution in the coming weeks, we're certainly going to be locking uk consumers into more and more expensive energy for years to come. labour is calling on the government to use money raised through higher—than—expected vat receipts to cut household bills. the party says higher energy and food prices have meant more vat being paid, so the extra money should be used to help people struggling with the higher cost of living. the government said they are regularly engaging with the industry, and are continuing to support those most in need. the energy price cap is expected to be on the agenda, as well — it stops companies from passing rising costs onto their customers. the cap will be reviewed again in april, when bills could go up as much as 50%. not the good news families were hoping for this festive period — with many already struggling to keep the lights on. vishala sri—pathma, bbc news. new covid restrictions come into force in both scotland and northern ireland today. nightclubs will be forced to shut and pubs and restaurants will have to return to offering table service only. in northern ireland, night—time venues only re—opened fully at the end of october, having been shut for 18 months. west mercia police has issued a written apology to the family of the former premier league footballer dalian atkinson, who died from injuries he suffered while being arrested in telford in 2016. the ex—aston villa striker was kicked in the head and tasered by pc benjamin monk, who is now serving eight years for manslaughter. in a letter, the force's new chief constable, pippa mills, said a uniform doesn't "grant officers immunity" from the law. a man who was caught in the grounds of windsor castle on christmas day — armed with a crossbow — has been sectioned under the mental health act. 0ur correspondent leigh milner is in scotland yard — good morning, what do we know? good mornin: , good morning, what do we know? good morning. dan- — good morning, what do we know? good morning. dan- we _ good morning, what do we know? (emf. morning, dan. we have been good morning, what do we know? (ef>;f>f. morning, dan. we have been told by metropolitan police at a 19—year—old man from southampton was stopped within moments of entering the grounds of windsor castle at about 8:30am on christmas day. before he could enter any of the buildings he was initially arrested on suspicion of reach or trespass on a protected site and possession of an offensive weapon. now that weapon was in fact a crossbow. but since then he has been sectioned under the mental health act and, as we understand, he is now being looked after by medical professionals. the queen has been staying at windsor castle, as we know, ratherthan staying at windsor castle, as we know, rather than spending christmas as usual at her sandringham estate were thick and despite these breaches being extremely rare, what is clear is that this incident is being taken extremely seriously by the metropolitan police. in fact, this morning we have been told that, following the arrest, detectives are currently investigating a video which the bbc understands is the same video obtained by the sunday newspaper, and hope it might shed light on what happened that day —— the sun newspaper. tributes are being paid to the dj and tv presenterjanice long, who has died aged 66. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, has taken a look back at her life and trailblazing career. it's from the band who've been together for a

infectious passion for music. a brilliant broadcaster. i used to while away the hours listening to her driving back from various football grounds. janice long, some beautiful tribute to her on the bbc website if you would like to read some more. the time is 6:07am. over the last 12 months the uk has experienced devastating floods, storms, wildfires and landslips — all caused in part by climate change. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt has been taking a look at how different animals are affected by the increasingly unpredictable weather. this is one of this year's wildlife winners. the first beaver family was released onto national trust property in somerset in 2020, and this year it produced its first kit. the baby beaver was born injune. but the uk's changing weather patterns brought losers, too. some seabird populations were hit by the storms that swept the country. other birds suffered from the unseasonable cold spells and frequent heavy rain in the summer. i've come to newark park estate in gloucestershire to find out more about how our changing climate is affecting the national trust's landscapes and the wildlife it cares for. and just look at this wonderful place. a tudor hunting lodge with — look over here — the most incredible views right out across for the mendip hills. but this place is experiencing the effects of our changing climate. so we've had to remove all of our ash trees, unfortunately, because they've succumbed to ash dieback. the fungal disease, which affects adult trees, is now common across britain. so we're finding that the moist conditions that we get, as well — wet and warm — are really great for these things to spread. in our current climate. during the summer months, it has fruiting bodies in the upper part of the tree, and it's spread in the canopy and it's spread in the air — so it's wind—spread — and then it goes from ash tree to ash tree, and it affects the general functioning of that ash tree, eventually resulting in them dying. the national trust lost thousands more trees in storms — storm arwen, which ripped through the north of the country in late november, was particularly destructive. and some properties, like this stretch of the dorset coast, were changed forever. this landslip — caused in part by extreme dry and wet spells — took a great bite out of the cliffs at thorncombe beacon. meanwhile, the very dry spring saw wildfires devastate parts of national trust estates in the mourne mountains in northern ireland, and at marsden moor in yorkshire. more evidence of how increasing weather extremes are ratcheting up the pressure on britain's already—stressed wildlife, the national trust says. it's affecting it in lots and lots of different ways and i think, actually, it's something that we're also experiencing — you know, the kind of regular rhythms of the seasons are kind of...are kind of drifting away and we're now getting this new normal, which is pretty unpredictable and has some really big extreme kind of weather events. and all of that has a kind of massive impact on our wildlife, which, of course, has kind of evolved in synchrony with the seasons and the weather patterns and the climate, ultimately. and so as that changed, it's just another pressure on our wildlife. this year's wildlife losers include spring—blossoming trees in the south of england, which suffered a series of late frosts. the chilly spring also hit butterfly populations, although there were some rare sightings — including this purple emperor at anglesey abbey near cambridge. but some seal populations flourished, with record numbers of seals recorded on some suffolk beaches. the warm and settled autumn produced spectacular shows of colour across the country, and helped some grassland fungi to thrive. waxed—cup varieties did particularly well, while this unusual devil's fingers fungus was spotted in herefordshire. the trust warns extreme weather is increasingly becoming the new normal, but says it is possible to strengthen ecosystems against climate change. by making bigger and better patches of wildlife habitat, they can support stronger populations, which are then more resilient to things like climate change. and so that allows them to be sustained within the landscape and actually to start moving across landscapes as the climate does continue to change. and here's a lovely seasonal shot to celebrate that ambition — as well as what the national trust says has been a great yearfor berries. justin rowlatt, bbc news, newark park estate in gloucestershire. here's a story which may remind you of the very start of the pandemic. it's about covid on a cruise ship. dan spong was enjoying a christmas trip around the caribbean with his family when his daughter tested positive. they're currently on board the msc seaview but dan says they're about to be forced off the ship and into hotel quarantine — with no idea how they'll get home. we can speak to dan now. he is on the ship. thank you for being with us this morning. how is your daughter and how is the family? good morning. she is fine. i am glad to say she is asymptomatic and is well and the rest of us have tested positive, so we... sorry, negative! the rest of us are fine. it is the middle of the night that white i know it is early hours of the morning. give us an idea. hat know it is early hours of the

paid for us to come on the dream holiday. it was for my father—in—law�*s 70th and their golden wedding. we were having a lovely break, sisters came down from massachusetts and we were getting ready to go to the party on christmas eve. we did lateralflow test, although we didn't test when we got on board, and my daughter tested positive, quite rightly, they asked us to stay in our cabins and we were sort of left there for a while while everything was processed. asking for food and water which eventually arrived. it turned out she was positive and it is quite heartbreaking, my daughter thought she had ruined christmas and it was her fault. she had ruined christmas and it was herfault. there she had ruined christmas and it was her fault. there was a lot of tears and we got a phone call saying we had to pack immediately to go to a quarantine section of the ship. the kids were going to sleep so we refused until the morning but we were told we had to go there and then because ppe that the staff would have to wear would frighten other guests so we went in the morning in full hazmat suits down to our quarantine quarters and they have been great, we have plenty of room, plenty of food and water and drinks whenever we want them, but we were told then that we would have to leave the ship at the next shop, which was saint martin, in the dutch antilles, quite a remote place. we questioned on christmas day, when we were trying to make the best of it, with the queen's speech and whatever, a few presents. we said, you can't leave us some and we can't fly back from when we finish isolation. they said, don't worry, it is taken care of and we were convinced it wouldn't happen and on boxing day we were woken with people banging on the door, in hazmat suits again, demanding our passports and telling us we have to get off the ship. they wanted us to settle our bills and get off the ship so we said, well, we need to get in writing a bit of a plan of action and find out that schedule of flights, how long we have to be in isolation for retesting protocols. we were asked to sign various things and we didn't, and we didn't give over our passports and we spoke to other passengers on the ship who said they had people telling them they have no choice, that they had to get off the ship, and we were told at one stage it was due to the local authorities insisting we were quarantined on the island. {sheen local authorities insisting we were quarantined on the island. given all of that, how _ quarantined on the island. given all of that, how will _ quarantined on the island. given all

we were refusing to get off the ship and he would allow us to stay on to barbados because at least then we know there are decent isolation quarters in operation and there are flights home where we test to release. he took it that we were not leaving, they managed to get rid of everybody else on board, who are currently on the island and we have had contact with them and they have been told since they arrived they have to stay for 14 they arrived they have to stay for 1h days and have to arrange their 1a days and have to arrange their own transport home, so there are people on there who have no idea how they will get flights home. so we were witnessing some of the techniques they used to try to convince people to leave, it was quite alarming. convince people to leave, it was quite

barbados, where they will have to be in hotel quarantine and make their way home. bit of a miserable christmas but let's find out what the weather is like here. good morning. just you and me today, how are you doing? very well, nice to see you, merry christmas. this morning it is a mild start for most, except around the moray firth and inverness area, where temperatures are about —1, —2. through this week it will become increasingly mild. by wednesday parts of the south of england could hit 17 degrees and we are looking at wet and windy weather at times through the week. some rain coming in across the south—west currently, wind strengthening behind it. this will move northwards and eastwards and ten were patchy and also eradicate the mist and fog, which is particularly dense array of linkage. some showers moving west to east across scotland, a lot of cloud but some sunshine, the best around cumbria. some in scotland, northern ireland and the of england. temperatures may not get above about 4 degrees, may be five in parts of scotland, but up to 12 degrees in the south—west. through this evening and overnight you can see the remnants of the weather front producing showers. there will be murk and drizzle, coming out of the thickest cloud, cold enough for it some frost across a sheltered glens in scotland where we will also see mist and fog and then we have this band of rain sweeping in across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england and north—west wales. that will be with us first thing in the morning, moving in the direction of the north sea before clearing. behind it, a legacy of cloud, brighterskies clearing. behind it, a legacy of cloud, brighter skies in the west, but tomorrow will be windy across england and wales in particular and these

millions of us added an extra ritual to our christmas this year — the taking of last—minute lateral flow tests before, hopefully, seeing our family and friends. let's take a moment now to catch up on the latest covid developments, with one of our regular gps — dr ellie cannon. good morning. i hope you had a nice christmas. give us an idea, for those waking up, what i do covid headlines as we head

even over the whole of last week, even over the bank holiday weekend, christmas day and boxing day, and we have actually had half a million people come forward who have not had a first or second vaccine. we have been talking about bustos and that is fantastic, we are starting to get people coming in for their first vaccination now, which is really good news. it vaccination now, which is

including the boosters, as well. a lot of talk over the last week about omicron being a milder variant and that will be the fascinating part of this, what impact it has on the nhs, given it is not as problematic, is probably the best way of putting it, as the delta variant was.— delta variant was. people keep talkin: delta variant was. people keep talking about _ delta variant was. people keep

all at once and only a small proportion get severely ill, that small proportion of a big number can still be quite a big number can still be quite a big number and therefore overwhelm hospitals. we have had a small amount of data that seems to have come out in the last resort of a few hours that looks like hospital admissions are still stable and they have not started to climb. as with everything with omicron and covid, it is a case of watching and waiting and seeing what actually happens rather than the predictions, that real world data is so crucial and we have to be patient,

appreciate that there are harms to restrictions, as well as to covid, whether that is the economic side of things, the social side of things. there are obviously restrictions causing homes, as well. just to immediately impose curfews, limitations, of course that affects the hospitality industry. we have to be so careful about putting in place restrictions when we still don't know what is happening. i have to say, i do welcome this pragmatic approach that england are taking. that welcome this pragmatic approach that england are taking.— england are taking. that is the interesting _

with some of your patients in your surgery, do you feel —— from some of your chats, do you feel if there were another lockdown were restrictions, it would be quite high for quite a few people to take that? yes, and i think that is really important because it is all very well imposing restrictions and talking about rules after six with those restrictions only work if people take them on board. what we are seeing clearly with the vaccination programme in the last two or three weeks, that is a very successful pandemic response and it has worked very well. people have really taken that on board, as opposed to things like curfews and things like the rule of six and all these things, but actually people don't engage with those. no point with the top—down approach unless all of us on the ground are actually going to see those guidelines thrill and do them all properly. i would always call for bringing in measures like mask wearing, vaccinations, but we know and do. 0k, dr ellie cannon, always

death was announced 2a hours ago. in south africa there'll be a week of mourning before a state funeral on new year's day. let's go to cape town now — and speak to dr mamphela ramphele, from the archbishop tutu trust. thank you very much for being with us this morning. it is incredible to see some of the tributes that have been paid over the last 2a hours or so. i wondered what your own

an activist, looking up to desmond tutu notjust activist, looking up to desmond tutu not just as a activist, looking up to desmond tutu notjust as a spiritual father but as someone who was very caring about each and every one of us. it was because he was human. in that compassionate, loving spiritual sense, he gave us a lot of courage in the 19705 and 19805, when we were fighting a very evil system and his message of hope is one that helps carry us through the pain of losing loved ones, pain of children being killed. and so we are where we are today thanks to him because his life was an example of, even in suffering, we have to continue to hope and to trust and to also have to take responsibility to be a person who advances the values of love, the values of deep spirituality, which is a heritage of this continent and indeed a heritage that god gave to all of us as his creatures. i that god gave to all of us as his creatures-— that god gave to all of us as his creatures. ., , ., , .,

where someone had watched an interview with somebody asked desmond tutu how he would want to be remembered and apparently he laughed and said, "i would love them to say he lived, he laughed and he loved." a beautiful way of summing up loved." a beautiful way of summing up his incredible life and as we were saying with janice long, who has also sadly passed away, there are some lovely tributes on the bbc website and in lots of papers. if you're just waking up wondering what's happening in the ashes, have we got a smile on ourface what's happening in the ashes, have we got a smile on our face today? every time we've spoken about it so far, england fans have sighed and rolled their eyes. england's tour has been pretty dismal so far. to add to their complications there was a covid scare this morning, which meant they were delayed taking to the pitch — waiting on their negative tests, which they got — on the second day of the must win third test in melbourne. he might be the world's best batter, but marnus labuschagne went forjust one off the bowling of mark wood. jimmy anderson bowled steve smith forjust 16. australia had started to build up the runs through marcus harris who reached 76 but fell to anderson. and australia eventually all out for 267 — mark wood taking the final wicket of scott boland, england 82 runs behind ahead of the second innings. well, we can speak now to australian journalist adam collins who is at the mcg. every time we've spoken you've had a great big australian grin on your face, not so much today. what have england on right? it's quite nice to tell you england have had a good day at the office. we were worried we wouldn't have a second day but they probably needed to bowl out australia in the space of two sessions to wrest back parity. they've done so in five hours, they are 82 runs behind. it would take something special to win a test match but at least they played the first hurdle, bowling out australia inside a day. 11—33.

attack leader. four years ago when anderson was in australia, will he make the journey one ashes cycle on? going at barely 1.5 runs per over a longerjourney, knocking over australia's most important player stephen smith, taking his stomp out in the first session. that spell was exceptional and it gave england a bit of belief after getting rolled for 185 yesterday. it looked as though they might have one foot on the plane ready to put it all behind them. there is some hype now after them. there is some hype now after the couple of weeks they've enjoyed. some hype but they are still 2—0 down

test matches so low as it starts but if they came over today and got pummelled, especially after this morning, they didn't arrive at the ground until 25 minutes before the start of play due to the covid scare. they had to do pcr tests today so that brought a complication. you can see that adding to the frustration and heartbreak of yesterday. to their credit, they galvanised around the captain joe root to court beautifully and be slips. you mentioned anderson already, 0llie robinson with a couple of wickets as well. they bowled so nicely together as a group and didn't let australia get

city in their game against leicester, which has taken them six points clear at the top of the premier league. city were 4—0 up afterjust 25 minutes, the pick of the goals coming from kevin de bruyne. james madison started the comeback in the second half as leicester picked up three goals in ten minutes. but aymeric laporte and raheel sterling ended that dream to give city their ninth successive league win. chelsea ensured they didn't lose any more ground on city, coming from behind to win 3—1 at aston villa. substitute romelu lukaku and two penalties from jorginho gave them the points, after villa took an early lead through a reece james own goal. arsenal made it four premier league wins in a row with a commanding 5—0 win at struggling norwich, bukaya saka getting two of them. emile smith—rowe added a fifth in injury time to give them the convincing win. the goals kept coming at the london stadium too as southampton got a much—needed win. they beat west ham 3—2 — after the home side twice came from behind. however, that header from jan bednarek sealed all 3 points for southampton. elsewhere, wins the spurs and brighton. meanwhile, all matches were effectively back behind closed doors in scotland, with only 500 fans allowed in outdoor stadiums from boxing day. the lack of fans didn't put rangers off though. they're six points clear at the top of the table, going into the winter break after a 2—0 win over st mirren. wright and morelos with the goals. celtic had a comfortable 3—1win over bottom side stjohnstone. liel abada scored twice in the first half to put celtic in control, before nir bitton added a third to seal the win. all the support and a good day in the ashes today. i all the support and a good day in the ashes today.— the ashes today. i always

your festive feast of fun. we've got games, music, drinks... it's a water bottle. ..and gifts. and we'll even help you clean up afterwards. # merry clickmas, everybody! welcome to clickmas 2021, which is already looking more expensive than clickmas 2020. at least it is not a virtual party. but have we got a clickmas for you! they say it looks more expensive — it will do once we switch on the clickmas lights. would you care to do the honours? i've always dreamt of being asked to turn on the christmas lights and i will go one better than that. are you ready? definitely. five, four, three, two, one... ta—da! oh, my life! a clickmas laser? what could possibly go wrong?! and that is the best handwriting on click. by the way, have you bought all your christmas present? not yet. i still need to get some smellies for my dad and smellies for my mum. do your whole family smell? they do. i want them to smell better. i have a solution for you, but you will have to come with me to a christmas market. come this way. i warn you, the salesman is a bit of a wheeler dealer. rollup, rollup! i recognise that trader. it's nick kwek! hello, spencer. merry clickmas. and to you. what on earth have you got? this is the world's first artificially intelligent smart perfume. have a sniff of that. it smells like a mum, but not my mum. it is very strong. the idea behind the ninu is that it is one size fits all because the last thing you want on christmas day is when you open up a perfume, and you don't like the smell of it. with this thing, you can choose what you want it to smell like. really? you control it through a bluetooth connected app. how does that work, then? 0n the inside there are three different canisters each with its own unique scent, and depending what you select on the app, then it mixes each together to create your own bespoke whiff. and it can create up to 100 different combinations for every can. sounds like a good deal. so, do you reckon your mum's present is sorted? unfortunately this isjust a prototype. it will not be in the shops until next spring. well, what are you here for then?! a small problem but maybe i can fix it. does your mother like click? of course she does. she's my mum, she's a viewer. exactly. so she may enjoy the highlights from this year. it was the year that began with a virtual consumer electronic show with all of the fanfare and frolics of... sitting in a room alone. but there were still smart pillows and smart earrings, smart blenders and smart masks. very topical. but we did get out and about. we went to ireland, iceland, finland and dubai—land. honestly, this is the greatest projection i've ever seen. we also saw virtual reality being used with life changing results. it helped to guide this family through their decision on whether to operate on six—month—old baby archie. the theatre is being prepared and in a few minutes archie is coming in for his surgery where a spring like this will be inserted into his skull through a small cut. it will immediately expand and start to change the shape of his head and then continue to do so over the next four weeks. at that point it can be removed. invented by drjeelani 13 years ago, the technique has reduced operation time from three hours to a0 minutes, cut blood transfusion by 90% and provides more predictable outcomes. that piece had to be the most important part of the year for me, technology really making a difference. yes. 2021 was the year that 0mar tried out for a football team but the ai scout said no. but things picked up for him as he discovered he was the proud owner of a pokemon card worth a small third fortune. take this card. i got it in a pack when i was a kid. dark raichu, a secret rare. £850! meanwhile, chris put his feet up all in the name of discovering the perfect posture. honestly, he can make anything look good. he is rocking this jacket. and here he is at the a! song contest. each of the 38 entries had to use some artificial- intelligence in the process. # can't you tell if i could fly. that song there was by - a group called smorgasborg and if you recognise the pixelated i face, that's because it's click'si very own lj rich who has entered the contest. - how do you even get started i with creating a song using ai? when i work alone the music always comes first but when i work with other people i normally feel inspired by their lyrics and so with this it felt very natural to get the al to generate some lyrics for me. that is great. and it is our lj! mark managed a breakfrom gaming and went to the meta—verse. which is totally not a game. the meta—verse has been described as what comes after the internet. dan has done a little bit of driving, well, a lot of driving. i came to switzerland. and then he did something about his emissions by sucking a whole lot of c02 out of the air. paul went out to sea, sea, sea to see what he could see, see, see. come on, keep it together. unlike its namesake, _ which took more than 100 pilgrims to the new world in 1620, _ the mayflower 400 will not have any people on board at all. and had his mind read. there we go. jen took us all the way back in time to pompeii. and all the way forward to the shopping delivery next week. this is the hive and it is called that because the robots are operating like a swarm of bees would. as this year draws to a close, friends old and new have been there by our side. i find you rather intriguing. can we be friends? i am not alive. i am a non—conscious machine. however, lam interested| in friendship and humans. did you get a christmas card from her? no. typical. what a year it has been. it was lovely to be back in the same room. even if i couldn't hear a word you said. hello? we have done a lot this year, considering. we really have. maybe it is a time for a break from tech, even for us. so we sent cristina criddle to the countryside for a bit of a digital detox. this is the cabin where i will spend the next few nights and i am here for a digital detox to see if being with my phone makes me stressed. i use my phone a lot, and sometimes i feel like it can make me a bit stressed. i'm trying to keep up with social media, my friends, the news, my e—mails. i can't be the only one who finds this exhausting. i found out that the university of greenwich was doing an experiment into digital detoxes and to see whether putting your phone away when you are on holiday can make you less stressed. to participate in the experiment you have to wear this tracking device that measures your activity levels, your heart rate, even how much you are sweating, to see how stressed you are. i had to wear it for a full day one week before i went on holiday to see what stress levels were like on a normal day. i arrived at a cabin in the woods in a place near a town called pulborough. it was really remote and i remember pulling my suitcase up this gravelly path in the mud thinking what am i going to do for a few days without my phone, without technology? just in this countryside cabin. right. goodbye, babies. there are also a few things they leave you in the cabin in case you need them. a map, compass — i don't know how to use that — there was a torch and a brick telephone in case of emergencies and that was it. i locked my phone away and waved goodbye to civilisation. 0n the first night i tried to go to a nearby pub. it was a 30—minute walk away and i was using my map and navigating the country lanes and really excited to go but then i got quite lost. if i had my phone i could have looked at the directions, i would have known what time the pub shuts. next day we found the pub and it was in the middle of nowhere and it was a really nice countryside pub. 0n the third and final day we went to a local vineyard. they were having a harvest festival and it was really fun and i find in those experiences you do not really miss your phone because you are just enjoying life. 0n the morning of getting my phone i could not wait to get up and i was really anxious, just wanted to find out what my phone was going to say to me. when i did look at my phone it was fine. nothing had happened. in fact, nobody had really messaged me. it was a bit disappointing. a few weeks later i went to meet wenjie cai, the lead researcher on the experiment to chat through the results from my wristband and i found my stress levels after the trip were way lower than they were before and actually they only started to peak again as i went to pick up my phone from the lockbox. it is quite interesting, the anticipation of reconnecting actually caused more stress than the reconnecting itself. after the experiment i went back to using my phone like normal and did other people find that as well? actually a lot of participants made some changes in their everyday life. some of them left their mobile devices in the living room when they go to bed and a lot of them read much much more. i was very relaxed but i was also on holiday in a beautiful place. i wonder how much of it is not having my phone versus just being on holiday? i think it's very different because when you go to a holiday you go in a nice place and if you have your phone it is distracting from the experience for you. but when you do not have your phone you really have an opportunity to really spend a great time with your companions. although wenjie said that my stress levels went down during the experience, and they did, i'm not sure if i would go on a digital detox again. i really like having my phone with me on holiday. i like to use it for photos, sharing my time with friends and, more importantly, looking things up, nice places to eat, and go and experience the holiday in the way that i want to. so i don't think you need to go to a cabin and lock your phone away in a box to switch off. what you need to do is be more mindful. if you are out with friends or in a beautiful location, try and put your phone away and forget about the notifications. live in the moment and just enjoy it. i could do with a break like that. especially when i go to ces in a few weeks. i tell you who would absolutely love a place like this. dan? he loves christmas and he loves buying good christmas presents. he does, yeah. this year he has really done something special. he seems to be in germany. yes. i am on the hunt for the perfect christmas gift for you both. lara, you may have got something a bit sparkly but... ..it did not quite seem right. and, spencer, well, i considered a new look for you but, ultimately i wanted to sniff out something that might surprise you both. and with a bit of science behind it as well. and my nose has brought me here to munich. not to the shops around here, but to a start—up that has created this, a water bottle with interchangeable nozzles, and they have different scents. so, you can have mango or cola or watermelon and it makes the stuff inside the bottle kind of taste a bit different. but what's inside isjust plain old tap water. christmas magic? well, according to the founder of the company, no. the product is a body hack, basically. because we copied how our flavour perception worked for a certain part and, so, when we taste something we will taste our basic flavours through our tongue or over our tongue but the rest of it is through our nose and it makes 80% of our flavour perception. it is a large part. and this part we copied with our product. when you drink from our bottle you will drink water and scented air and the scented air will let your brain think it is drinking something with flavour, even though it is just pure water with no additives, calories, sugar or anything. now, i know that may seem like quite a lot to swallow so i sent a couple of these bottles back to you guys in london to do a taste test. and i know that it's unlucky to say cheers with just plain water, but it's all meant in the best possible taste. merry christmas. both: merry clickmas, dan! we got a couple of these bottles here. i think you need to try one. i will give it a try. take a sip and see what you think. here we go. what fruit does that taste of? mmm! it's peachy! 0k! well done — i'm impressed. you try yours. what are you getting? 0k, it actually just tastes of water but it smells of fruit. can you tell what kind of fruit? no idea. absolutely no idea. it's grapefruity. i think it's a bit like fruit tea. i hate fruit tea. oh, well, that's gonna be a problem then. it's all in the smell and not in the taste. yeah, exactly. but while we are in the festive mood, i've got a little game for us to play. right. now, pictionary is probably my favourite game... i know it is, you are a monster. ..as you know. indeed. but i can't draw — which, of course, is the irony of this — but the technology doesn't actually help with that. now, this is called the repaper and the way that it works is you can use any pencil by attaching this little item to the end of it or you can use the pen that comes with it, then you don't need the piece of paper. but it, of course, connects to a smartphone. 0h, right! go on, then. this should be good. so let me draw something for you. you're saying this could be good but you know what my drawing is like! it's gone wrong already. is it a banana? uh, not... a horse? ..nota banana. and i've clearly got this wrong, haven't i? but, um, there you go. is it — is it a nokia phone that was never, ever used because it wasjust the worst design in the world? that'll be it! anyway, this can be used for more sensible purposes. art or some sort of work. which this is neither of. go on. this is — this is the remarkable... it's the first remarkable thing i've seen today, let me tell you. yes, and seeing it's for more professional purposes, i'm going to hand it straight to you. right, so this is an e—paper. it actually feels like paper as well to draw on. right. i'm realising now that i'm just as awful as you. i tell you what, though, paper is quite cheap and i'm guessing this isn't. that's very true. any idea? it's a sock and a bath. so... water, water and socks. and socks — yep, yeah. i think this may have something to do with the fact that chris fox asked us for our dirty laundry. yes! which is not as weird as it sounds. doing laundry is a time drain at the best of times especially at christmas when there is so much else to do so i'm helping the click team with theirs. but i'm not going to wash this myself, it is going to a start—up that helps to change the way we wash. according to 0xwash the way we do our laundry at home is wasteful but by stacking up lots of little innovations at their modern laundrettes they can make the process more eco—friendly. there are several ways this is supposed to be more eco—friendly. the first is over here, any heavily stained clothes get blasted with compressed air and water. so, you are not using loads of chemicals in the wash. then the clothes go into these fairly standard washing machines and the secret i'm told is using cold water so that you are not wasting loads of energy heating up the water. how do you get clothes clean with cold water? use a special detergent that is automatically dosed from these bottles and that creates ozone which sterilises the clothes and then the final extra step is right around the back — there is a filter to take out any microplastics so fibre that comes off the clothes doesn't go down the drain. to put the service to the test i have this wine—soaked tablecloth — no questions asked — a gravy stained runner straight from the christmas table and a pair of stinky old trainers which are all off to go through the 0xwash treatment. of course, washing is only half the story. the items go through this heated roller and folder which can dry sheets in seconds using less energy than a tumble dryer although at the moment the company does still use some fossil fuel tumble dryers, which it hopes one day to remove from the process. one other thing i have to show you is this japanese clothes steaming robot which makes sure your clothes don't have any creases on them and also don't shrink in the wash. now, this is why i have worn this creased jumper, before any of you comment on it, so let's get this on here. that goes over the dummy. spinning around and now, to make sure the shoulders are right, we enter gym mode and beef... ..beef up the shoulders. good. and then... that's me after christmas. there we go, release. ready to wear! oh, it's so warm! there you go! i need to get one of these for my kitchen! while the click laundry went through the wash i went to meet the founder who after getting tired of watching his rugby team's kit at oxford university decided to start the company. it's about £25 a month for a wash a week. isn't it going to work out cheaper to use a washing machine at home? when you take into account the washing machine you have to buy and the energy that goes into it, it works out about 10—15% cheaper. the big saving is on the time. you don't have to do it yourself, just take the pile of laundry and gets rid of it. two days later and my laundry arrived and i really cannot fault it, it really came out very clean, especially the shoes which came out almost like brand new. the challenge for the company is going to be convincing people to give up the convenience of washing clothes home, especially for those unexpected christmas spills, when everyone has had a few too many. chris fox doing our laundry, which was nice! very kind but i think you may have added red wine to the tablecloth. i would not have wasted that. 0n the other side of town, paul carter has been to meet a very important guest. when it comes to musical superstars, don't get much bigger than bjorn ulvaeus of abba. he was talking to us about a new software solution. more on that in an upcoming episode, but i took the opportunity to ask his opinion on tech and music. we see technology evolving music over the years. i wondered what your reflections on technology being used in modern music? you know, when benny andersson and i in the �*705, we used to be in one little room, in a cubicle with a stand—up piano and an acoustic guitar and two guys singing some kind of gibberish. pop english, swedish, something. no recordings of that. 0h, shame! but to get a kick out of that, they had to be a really good melody. whereas the songwriter today, he has got all his stuff, he has his computer and all of these wonderful sounds and when he or she is composing something, it sounds wonderful from the word go. and i think sometimes those song writers might become a little lazy, just to give up before the melody is perfect, just because it sounds so good. i think that's the advice i give to songwriters today, don't tell me you have written 100 songs this year. tell me you have written three really, really good ones. this is going to sound like a weird question but do you think there is too much music these days? funnily enough, an app like tiktok helps. because someone finds a piece of music somewhere and does something funny with it and that's like a trailer for that song. because people get over, that's good. when does it come from? youngsters need something to prompt them to listen to music and for them, all of the world's music is there and from them, whether it comes from the �*705 or now doesn't matter, as long as they like it. so, tiktok is almost changing the way that we discover music? i think so, yes. pop music has always been tech driven. when benny andersson and i were, like, in mainstream pop, we listened to everything, every new tech gadget that was out there we had to get it, every new sound, what's that? what's that? we have to get that. and you are still embracing technology now. iam! yes. i am having an avatar built of myself from 1979, and i did not choose that year, i think the ladies did. because they thought they looked their best, and i agree. so i am having that made and that is going to be very, very interesting to have the old songs sung by these young avatars and at the same time there will be live musicians playing the music. the old voices, live music and avatars. bjorn, thank you so much for your time. thank you. that was paul talking to the mighty bjorn ulvaeus, how marvellous was that? and i'm afraid that is the end of clickmas 2021 and a pretty good. pretty bland, wasn't it? ——pretty glam, wasn't it? throughout the week you can keep up with the team. find us on social media. thank you for watching, thank you for being with us throughout 2021 and a merry clickmas. happy clickmas. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker. 0ur headlines today. emergency talks to take place between energy suppliers and the government, after warnings of another sharp rise in household bills. nightclubs close in scotland, and tighter covid restrictions for hospitality in northern ireland, as ministers consider if new rules are needed for england. it's u2 in at number 23, and new year's day! the music industry pays tribute to trailblazing dj janice long — the first regular female presenter on top of the pops. good morning. today we have rain in the south—west accompanied by strengthening winds. showers in the north in between some sunshine that will turn increasingly mild as we turn through this week with highs of 17 possible in the south by wednesday. all the details later. it's monday the 27th of december. the uk's biggest energy firms will hold emergency meetings with the government today, amid growing concern over the rising cost of wholesale gas — and warnings of a national crisis which could see household energy bills hitting £2,000 per year. our business correspondent vishala sri—pathma has the details. it's been a constant worry for households for the past three months — rising prices of gas and electricity around the world have meant we've all been paying more to heat our homes and cook our meals. 26 energy companies have gone bust since september, and more casualties are expected in the industry, as there's no sign of prices falling. 0ur number—one ask going into the meeting is that the government and the regulator are taking the situation very seriously, and they're prepared to start taking action — not in the months to come, but in the days to come. because i think if we don't find a solution in the coming weeks, we're certainly going to be locking uk consumers into more and more expensive energy for years to come. labour is calling on the government to use money raised through higher—than—expected vat receipts to cut household bills. the party says higher energy and food prices have meant more vat being paid, so the extra money should be used to help people struggling with the higher cost of living. the government said they are regularly engaging with the industry, and are continuing to support those most in need. the energy price cap is expected to be on the agenda, as well — it stops companies from passing rising costs onto their customers. the cap will be reviewed again in april, when bills could go up as much as 50%. not the good news families were hoping for this festive period — with many already struggling to keep the lights on. vishala sri—pathma, bbc news. covid rules are changing again in scotland and northern ireland today. in a moment we'll speak to louise cullen in belfast. first let's go to catriona renton, in glasgow. good morning. good morning. the additional restrictions _ good morning. good morning. the additional restrictions came - good morning. good morning. the additional restrictions came into i additional restrictions came into place at 5am and that is for the next three weeks. today the focus is on hospitality and indoor public places, like pubs, restaurants, gyms, cinemas and they will have to ensure there is one metre distance between groups of people, that table service will be required where alcohol is being served and pubs will be significantly affected because they will be no standing at the bar any more and groups should be limited three households only. nightclubs will also have to close for a period, unless they can operate with table service and social distancing. the scottish government has made extra money available, £375 million, to support businesses through this time although some are very unhappy with the changes. new restrictions were also brought in yesterday on big crowds, so there will be no new year celebrations this year because crowds outside are now limited to 500 and restrictions are due to be reviewed on the 11th of january. fiifi reviewed on the 11th of january. 0k, catriona, thank _ reviewed on the 11th ofjanuary. 0k, catriona, thank you. changes in northern ireland, we will talk about those later in the programme. let's get the latest from our political correspondent, ione wells. three uk nations have already introduced their measures

in groups. in england, despite defections being higher, ministers have been holding tight for now because they have been wanting to see more data, specifically real—time data on hospitalisations, so not models about what might happen in the future, they want to see more data about how high or low hospitalisations in england are arising and whether there is a risk of the nhs being overwhelmed. today the prime minister borisjohnson is meeting with his top scientists, chris whitty and patrick vallance, and he is due to get his first big data updates since christmas, when he should have a better picture of exactly what the situation is in england. at the moment they have been holding tight for now i'm putting any further restrictions and there is kind of an acknowledgement at the moment his government that they feel like if any restrictions would be needed he could face some political difficulty getting them through. first there is the fact he would need to get it through his mp5 because he has promised any further restrictions would go to a vote for mp5, and last time he tried to bring in passes in england he saw big backlash in his own tory backbenchers. also getting it through his cabinet. so far most of cabinet have asked to hold tight until they see further data, too. sitting tight, using cabinet as a shield around him, but we will have to see what that data says and how worrying or not it is.— worrying or not it is. thank you very much _ worrying or not it is. thank you very much for— worrying or not it is. thank you very much for the _ worrying or not it is.

metropolitan police - good morning. good morning. we have been told by metropolitan police at - been told by metropolitan police at a 19—year—old man from southampton were stopped within moments of entering windsor castle at about 8:30am on christmas day. before he could get into any of the buildings he was initially arrested on suspicion of a breach or trespass of a protected site, and possession of an weapon being a crossbow. since then he has been sectioned under the mental health act and is now in the care of medical profession doing eco professionals as we understand. the queen

fairly rare, but is clear is that this incident is being taken extremely, extremely seriously by the metropolitan police. in fact we have been told this morning that following the arrest, detectives are currently investigating a video which the bbc understands is the same video obtained by the sun newspaper, in hope it might shed light on what actually happened. fiifi light on what actually

archbishop desmond tutu, whose death at the age of 90 was announced yesterday. 0ur correspondent nomsa maseko is injohannesburg. hopefully able to assess the mood. we have already spoken to one guest this morning, talking about the immense impact that archbishop desmond tutu had, not only in south africa but right across the world. indeed, he was a very influential man. small in stature but big when it came to giving and sacrificing even his own life to ensure that south africa does become a democracy. very prominent role there, and he has been well and a lot of people have been paying tribute to him. in fact late last night the president of south africa also addressed the nation through a televised speech, and paid his tribute and said that the country and undiplomatic missions overseas will be flown —— and on diplomatic missions will be flown at half mast. thank you very much for that. as we said, throughout the morning there are beautiful tributes in the papers and also on the bbc website to archbishop desmond tutu. is 7:09am. carol is here this morning and we are not only reflecting on the death of archbishop desmond tutu but also someone i know you knew well, janice long, the legendary dj, who surprised a lot of people with the news of her death over the weekend. when i used to travel back in football matches i love listening to her late night on the radio and she had an amazing career. she her late night on the radio and she had an amazing career.— her late night on the radio and she had an amazing career. she did, and amazin: had an amazing career. she did, and amazing lady- _ really warm, really kind and generous with everything that she did. but most of all she could make you laugh. my goodness, i used to do the weather on her late night show and she would have you laughing uncontrollably, so you are really struggling to get through it. i am so sad to hear this, and our condolences of course go out to her family, all of herfamily family, all of her family everywhere. a chilly start to the day in inverness. “i! at the moment. elsewhere are pretty mild start to the day for the time of year. a fair bit of cloud around, some mist and fog across central and eastern areas, and in lincolnshire visibility is pretty poor. this weather front is bringing the rain, moving northwards. the window strengthen behind it, lifting the mist and fog. also some mist and fog is lower to clear further lowered, but here we will see some sunshine, showers continuing across parts of scotland. some sunny intervals developing across northern ireland and also northern england, especially cumbria. after the cold start in inverness and bridges may not get higher than 4 or 5 degrees for you but generally we are looking at six to about 12 degrees. heading on through this evening and overnight once again we have patchy rain, murky conditions across much of england and wales, clear skies in scotland and it means we can see a touch of frost and some mist and fog patches for me. by the end of the night, a new band of rain comes in across northern ireland, northern england, southern scotland and north—west wales. tomorrow we start with that and it will continue to push steadily towards the north sea. the cold start and a frosty one across the final of scotland but you see some sunshine. a5 across the final of scotland but you see some sunshine. as this rain clears it will brighten up in the west. still a lot of cloud in central and eastern parts, but it will be windy tomorrow, especially so across england and also wales. dan thank you very much that. carol was paying tribute to janice long. some lovely tributes of last year ours. kind, witty and a brilliant story—teller — they're just a few of the plaudits used to describe janice long after

for which state is edward kennedy a senator? ..and over the years appeared on a huge range of different tv shows. next week, peterjames barnard—powell and gary davies. she'll be remembered as a female trailblazer, and as someone with an infectious passion for music. that was lizo mzimba reporting. many ofjanice's friends and former colleagues have been paying tribute to her on social media. many

and chocolates around and keeping everyone entertained, the cannon family. if you're a regular breakfast viewer, you'll know we spent a lot of time this year with the three dads mike, andy and tim — who became friends after losing their daughters to suicide. they took on a 300—mile walk to raise awareness of the issue — and alison freeman was there when they were reunited for the first time since that mammoth challenge. piano music. if we look round the corner, here they come. cheering. because we had spent the previous 15 days walking, we really had no idea what we were going to walk into. but then to walk round the corner, to find hundreds of people waiting for us in that finishing chute wasjust stunning. so odd, just really surreal. you start picking up the faces of people you recognise and start thinking about why you're there, why they're there. and, yeah, it was an incredibly powerful experience. evie, my ten—year—old at the time, she came and accompanied us - across the line at the end. she tucked her arm in my arm and i got a photograph- with emily and the poles. and to have her wanting to be part of the story was lovely, _ because she wouldn't have done that five, six months ago. _ it was just a variety of people that all wanted to kind of be _ there to support us, - and start those conversations with their kids as well. tim, andy and mike, three dads walking. they didn't even know each other at the start of 2021, but by the middle of october that raised almost £1 million for a suicide prevention charity and got everyone talking about that often taboo subject. they had been brought together by unthinkable tragedy. each had a daughter who'd taken their own life. it was back in september they told us their stories of loss, the motivation behind the challenge they had planned, and how they hoped it would stop others going through the same thing. devastation is too small a word. you know, you literally are plunged into a surreal world of complex grief. # we've got our issues. # we've got our faults... mike's daughter beth, an aspiring musician, wasjust 17 when she took her own life as lockdown loomed in march of last year. andy lost his 29—year—old daughter sophie, who was a nurse, before christmas 2018. the world suddenly fell apart around us. there was suddenly nothing to hold onto, nothing felt real. just a sickness in the pit of your stomach. and tim's daughter emily, a talented artist, was 19 when she died at the family home also in march 2020. and you just feel as if you're in freefall and you don't know where you're going. just devastating, absolutely devastating, and you just don't know how you'll ever recover from it. the three daughters inspired their dads to walk 300 miles between their three homes. their route was to take them from andy's home in moreland in cumbria to mike's in sale, greater manchester, and finally to tim's village of shouldham in norfolk. their epic challenge began on october the 9th. the crowds are here to say goodbye. there they go, andy, mike and tim walking 300 miles over the next 15 days to raise money and awareness about suicide prevention. good luck to them. it was clear from the start that their story had struck a chord with so many. every day, people with their own stories of tragedy turned up to join them on the route. these stories are still fresh in their minds when we meet later to reflect on what happened. unfortunately, mike couldn'tjoin us in person at the time we were filming. so, mike, you can't be with us. what's happened ? it looks as though i've got covid. a slight cough and a slight sniff. how are you feeling? gutted i can't be there, but andy and tim are doing a sterling job. mike, we know you met loads and loads of different people while you were on the walk. we've seen and heard from some of them. is there anyone who stands out in your mind particularly or is there any moment that stands out? a young mum i met by the side of the road had not long lost her daughter, and she gave me her order of service to carry with me. i think that set the tone for the walk, just seeing her and feeling her pain. were you surprised by that openness, mike? in some ways, yes, but we didn't realise how many people our walk would affect, but i think our openness encouraged other people to talk, and i think it helped them. this chap got out of the car and joined us and he was a | lancashire farmer who had - lost his daughter four weeks before and decided to come along to talk to us to find out _ how we got from where - we were then, after losing our daughters, to where we were now. recently i lost my daughter to suicide and ijust need to understand why and there's loads of unanswered questions. it really was a privilege to allow people to be so open with us, because you could see how much it was helping them. it wasn't going to bring back their loved ones, but just that sense of relieving themselves of a lot of pain. we were just like a magnet. i thought we might get one or two people and i thought we'd get people we know, oh, you are off track, which i got quite a lot, especially off my dad! are you off track again?! but i have no idea that we would be attracting people from the moment we set off to the very end, really... all the way along, it was hundreds. it was literally hundreds of people as we counted them up as we went down. we were engaged in conversation from eight o'clock in the morning until whenever we went to bed at night. the aim of the walk had been to get people talking about suicide, and it became apparent that they had. and on top of that, as media interest in the dads' story gathered momentum, so did the number of donations to a suicide prevention charity. three fathers who all lost their daughters to suicide are nearing the end of a 300 mile walk to raise money for charity in memory of their children. their story was even catching the eye of hollywood stars like daniel craig, who was the first to donate £10,000. and after meeting the dads, former manchester united player lou macari, who lost his own son to suicide, decided he couldn't be beaten by 007. i don't want to see james bond outdoing us. i'll give you 10,000, as well. i haven't got it on me! nicole kidman was the next star to give £10,000, saying in a statement that she had been profoundly moved by the dads' extraordinary undertaking, and dedicated her donation to the three daughters. that was just incredible. you know, nicole kidman putting a tribute out to our three daughters. incredible. and following us on instagram! wonderfully generous of these stars, but it helps us, it _ raised our profile. did you ever expect, mike, that amount of money? you started off with four grand each, was it? never. we were walking for a reason but we didn't realise - how big it was all going to get. and neither did the charity they were raising money for, papyrus, based in warrington. you may recognise this... hello, how are you? andy and tim were given the chance to meet some of the people who answered the calls at the charity's helpline, which was called hopeline uk. ten, andy. we know! it's incredible, we've

emergency meetings with the government later, as the industry warns household bills could be set to rise by as much as 50% in the new year. it comes on the back of 0ctober�*s price cap increase — which left around 15 million households paying more for their energy. since then, those affected have seen their bills rise by as much as 12%, adding around £140 to the annual bill of those on standard tariffs and more than £150 for those on pre—payment meters. stephen fitzpatrick is the founder of the energy firm, 0v0 energy and joins us now. what's going to happen at this meeting today?—

the a massive increase in cost next year. bills are going to be going up by more like 600, £700. from a year ago that's almost double what households have been paying. it's going to be a big shock next year and we are meeting to call on the government to find some mechanisms to support consumers through the volatility but also be vulnerable households, millions of whom already struggle to afford to heat their homes in the winter and in 2022 there's going to be much more support needed for those vulnerable households to deal with this huge price shock. there miaht be with this huge

that's coming to consumers, they be made to be protected through the price cap but there has been an enormous shock all over europe, huge surges in gas prices in countries like france, spain, italy and germany, their governments are reaching for measures to help consumers with this shock. and we hope today will see the government, 0fgem and energy companies getting together and working out a

and paid through taxation where you have a more progressive system with wealthier people paying more. there are lots of measures we can take. most importantly, we've lost two or three months from when this energy crisis started to unfold and it's really important that in today at�*s meeting and the days to come we get agreement across government and support from 0fgem and the industry working together to support consumers. working together to support consumers-— working together to support consumers. �* , ., ., ., consumers. we've seen a lot of companies _ consumers. we've seen a lot of

hit to consumer spending. year. that's about 25 billion hit to consumerspending. it's year. that's about 25 billion hit to consumer spending. it's not something 0v0 or any other energy company can absorb and we think it's important the government faced this right now before the winter really sets in and starts to find a solution for consumers. like listening to that, we know that there are some people watching who already struggle to pay their heating bills, particularly at this time of year. there's got to be something to protect vulnerable customers. exactly. there are millions of households and families who struggle to afford to heat their homes in winter. with prices doubling that's only going to get worse, there's going to be more families that need help. this is where we think it's really important that the government understands the urgency of the situation and starts to act. the longer we leave it the more painful it's going to be. fine more painful it's going to be. one thin that more painful it's going to be. one thing that people have spoken about a lot is renewable energy. this year because we haven't had much sun and wind, the renewable energy hasn't been

importing more natural gas is leading to these price hikes. there is a place in the grid for renewables, we need more energy storage and we really need to invest heavily in efficiency. but when we see these kinds of emergencies happening, this is when we get some action. i'm hoping to see some movement from government in the days to come. see some movement from government in the days to come— the

storms, wildfires and landslips — all caused in part by climate change. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has been taking a look at how different animals are affected by the increasingly unpredictable weather. this is one of this years wildlife winners. the first beaver family was released on to national trust property in somerset in 2020 and this year it produced its first kit. the baby beaver was born injune. but the uk's changing weather patterns brought losers, too. some seabird populations were hit by the storms that swept the country. other birds suffered from the unseasonable cold spells and frequent heavy rain in the summer. i've come to newark park estate in gloucestershire to find out more about how our changing climate is affecting the national trust's landscapes and the wildlife it cares for. and just look at this wonderful place. a tudor hunting lodge with — look over here — the most incredible views right out across for the mendip hills. but this place is experiencing the effects of our changing climate. so we've had to remove all of our ash trees, unfortunately, because they've succumbed to ash dieback. the fungal disease, which affects adult trees, is now common across britain. so we're finding that the moist conditions that we get, as well — wet and warm — are really great for these things to spread in our current climate. during the summer months, it has fruiting bodies in the upper part of the tree, and it's spread in the canopy and it's spread in the air — so it's wind—spread — and then it goes from ash tree to ash tree, and it affects the general functioning of that ash tree, eventually resulting in them dying. the national trust lost thousands more trees in storms — storm arwen, which ripped through the north of the country in late november, was particularly destructive. and some properties, like this stretch of the dorset coast, were changed forever. this landslip — caused in part by extreme dry and wet spells — took a great bite out of the cliffs at thorncombe beacon. meanwhile, the very dry spring saw wildfires devastate parts of national trust estates in the mourne mountains in northern ireland, and at marsden moor in yorkshire. more evidence of how increasing weather extremes are ratcheting up the pressure on britain's already—stressed wildlife, the national trust says. it's affecting it in lots and lots of different ways and i think, actually, it's something that we're also experiencing — you know, the kind of regular rhythms of the seasons are kind of...are kind of drifting away and we're now getting this new normal, which is pretty unpredictable and has some really big extreme kind of weather events. and all of that has a kind of massive impact on our wildlife, which, of course, has kind of evolved in synchrony with the seasons and the weather patterns and the climate, ultimately. and so as that changed, it's just another pressure on our wildlife. this year's wildlife losers include spring—blossoming trees in the south of england, which suffered a series of late frosts. the chilly spring also hit butterfly populations, although there were some rare sightings — including this purple emperor at anglesey abbey near cambridge. but some seal populations flourished, with record numbers of seals recorded on some suffolk beaches. the warm and settled autumn produced spectacular shows of colour across the country, and helped some grassland fungi to thrive. waxed—cup varieties did particularly well, while this unusual devil's finger fungus was spotted in herefordshire. the trust warns extreme weather is increasingly becoming the new normal, but says it is possible to strengthen ecosystems against climate change. by making bigger and better patches of wildlife habitat, they can support stronger populations, which are then more resilient to things like climate change. and so that allows them to be sustained within the landscape and actually to start moving across landscapes as the climate does continue to change. and here's a lovely seasonal shot to celebrate that ambition — as well as what the national trust says has been a great yearfor berries. justin rowlatt, bbc news, newark park estate in gloucestershire. a nice clear indication of how things had been affected. let's take a look at today's front pages — and most of them feature archbishop desmond tutu, whose death was announced yesterday. some lovely pictures and beautiful tributes as well. the guardian calls him a "champion of universal human rights". we've been speaking to a couple of people this morning talking about how huge an impact he had there and also around the world. the south african press are paying their own tributes. the south african times live reports that president cyril ramaphosa has announced flags will fly at half—mast. in the uk, the times reports on what potential new coronavirus restrictions in england may look like. the paper says weddings and funerals could be exempt from extra measures. and the telegraph says schools are drawing up plans to send home entire year groups if they are hit by severe staff shortages due to illness and self—isolation from the omicron variant. that is something we'll be looking at after 8am. you'll also be speaking to the clinical director of scotland jason leitch to see what's happening in glasgow and scotland at the moment. we're on the news channel until 9:00, but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker. our headlines today. emergency talks to take place between energy suppliers and the government, after warnings of another sharp rise in household bills. nightclubs close in scotland, and tighter covid restrictions for hospitality in northern ireland, as ministers consider if new rules are needed for england. a week of events gets under way in south africa, to mourn the passing of archbishop desmond tutu. england's bowlers may have fought back, but their batting is dismal. celebrations for australia as they take four england wickets forjust 31 runs in this must—win third test. it's u2 in at number 23, and new year's day! the music industry pays tribute to trailblazing dj janice long — the first regular female presenter on top of the pops. rain is coming in across the south—west of england, complete by strengthening winds, showers in the know, some sunny spells developing. as you go through the week it will tone mildly. all the details later. it's monday the 27th of december. the uk's biggest energy firms will hold emergency meetings with the government today, amid growing concern over the rising cost of wholesale gas — and warnings of a national crisis which could see household energy bills hitting £2,000 per year. our business correspondent vishala sri—pathma has the details. it's been a constant worry for households for the past three months — rising prices of gas and electricity around the world have meant we've all been paying more to heat our homes and cook our meals. 26 energy companies have gone bust since september, and more casualties are expected in the industry, as there's no sign of prices falling. our number—one ask going into the meeting is that the government and the regulator are taking the situation very seriously, and they're prepared to start taking action — not in the months to come, but in the days to come. because i think if we don't find a solution in the coming weeks, we're certainly going to be locking uk consumers into more and more expensive energy for years to come. labour is calling on the government to use money raised through higher—than—expected vat receipts to cut household bills. the party says higher energy and food prices have meant more vat being paid, so the extra money should be used to help people struggling with the higher cost of living. the government said they are regularly engaging with the industry, and are continuing to support those most in need. the energy price cap is expected to be on the agenda, as well — it stops companies from passing rising costs onto their customers. the cap will be reviewed again in april, when bills could go up as much as 50%. not the good news families were hoping for this festive period — with many already struggling to keep the lights on. vishala sri—pathma, bbc news. covid rules are changing again in scotland and northern ireland today. in a moment we'll speak to louise cullen in belfast. first let's go to catriona renton, in glasgow. she can talk us through some of the changes in scotland. good

three households, and that table service will have to be used where alcohol is being served. pubs will be affected significantly because there will be no more standing at there will be no more standing at the bar. and nightclubs also face being closed unless they can operate as a pub with distancing and table service. the scottish government has made extra money available to businesses but there are some deep unhappiness within the hospitality sector. he restrictions came in on outside events yesterday. 500 limited outside. indoor, 200 seated, 100 standing. that means the cancellation

next is the big question and i'm sure that is what many of our viewers are thinking about this morning. on one of those issues, how do you think things will be protected in terms of schools returning to normal after the holidays? where are you now and what could change we are very, very hopeful schools will go back in scotland on time. they start to go back the middle of the week after new ear, back the middle of the week after new year, seventh, _ back the middle of the week sfta new year, seventh, eight, somewhere there. some go back the following week, the tenth, the 11. we are hopeful with education is in place, vaccination, testing, c02 monitoring, hand washing, all of those things we have, that we won't have to go back. we will of course have to go back. we will of course have isolate positive cases and some contacts to build rings of protection around those schools. i live with a high school teacher and she is keen to go back. that does not come without anxiety or concern for teachers, staff, young people, of course, but after health and social care, we believe that education is the most important public service and two years of public service and two years of public destruction is already too much. kids who have had to try to sit exams, try to prepare, the school shows that have had to be cancelled, the team working that has not happened, all of those things have really affected our young people across the world, frankly, and we need to stop that destruction if we possibly can and within reason and we are hopeful.— if we possibly can and within reason and we are hopeful. jason, always a leasure and we are hopeful. jason, always a pleasure to — and we are hopeful. jason, always a pleasure to talk _ and we are hopeful. jason, always a pleasure to talk to _ and we are hopeful. jason, always a pleasure to talk to you, _ and we are hopeful. jason, always a pleasure to talk to you, thank -

for. i imagine you spent a bit of| the last few days issuing refunds for. i imagine you spent a bit of- the last few days issuing refunds to some of those people who had booked but i doubt no longer able to attend. you talk about your hope that the government are making the right decisions. what sort of support have you and other venues been getting and hoping to get? 50 been getting and hoping to get? ’ir far been getting and hoping to get? 5r far we have had none, no support. there has been talk of support. we had an e—mail saying there will be support. we have heard that support, depending on the size of the venue and the rateable value, will be between £4500 to £6,000. clearly thatis between £4500 to £6,000. clearly that is just a drop between £4500 to £6,000. clearly that isjust a drop in between £4500 to £6,000. clearly that is just a drop in the ocean compared to what most venues would take even in two or three days over the christmas and new year period. so whilst it is welcome, any financial help is incredibly welcome, it really does not compensate at all for the lean months of january and february. the talent in those months is notoriously quiet. you can be in the bar and maybe have ten people through the door. people are hunkering down injanuary and february. it is cold, snowy, the weather isn't the best. you have had your big events, had your get—togethers in december. so january, february, they incredibly difficult for hospitality. i think we will probably see quite a number of businesses choose not to reopen. we saw before christmas a number of venues, because of the fall in football, and also because of staffing issues with the virus, that meant they didn't open from maybe the week before christmas. i think you might very well find that a lot of those venues will just you might very well find that a lot of those venues willjust not be open at all. so i think this latest, the guidelines and the increase in the guidelines and the increase in the virus will just the guidelines and the increase in the virus willjust be devastating for a lot of hospitality businesses. the only hope is that if people have not had chance to go out in december, the hope is thatjanuary, february, might be the time when people say, i have a bit more money in my pocket, i didn't go out in christmas and new year, so we have to make sure that hospitality has really interesting and exciting things going on throughoutjanuary and february, in the hope it will encourage people to at least come out, enjoy a wee dram the 30th of january, the old scots new year. we hope to get plenty of people out in january and february.— hope to get plenty of people out in january and february. thank you for that, jo january and february. thank you for that. 10 de — january and february. thank you for that. jo de sylva — january and february. thank you for that, jo de sylva speaking -

want to go in the trenches with, because he'll do anything for you. everyone here at leicester tigers is proud of him. - running through the night, sleep—deprived, glyocogen—depleted, fatigued — we've got to make sure that, actually, he doesn't injure or hurt himself. running through the night, sleep—deprived, glyocogen—depleted, fatigued — we've got to make sure that, actually, he doesn't injure or hurt himself. he motivates us to do things and he does that— he motivates us to do things and he does that by leading by example and doin- does that by leading by example and doing things nobody should be able to do _ kev will do it. he'll need the support of everybody, both his support team and everybody in the country to get behind him, but he will absolutely do it. there's so many unknowns, so many uncertainties. we're not quite sure what the body is going to do and how it will react, but people with mnd don't have a choice. and we won't have a choice when we start on monday. morning! applause. how are you feeling? yeah, i'm good, thank you. ready to start, ready to get going. we're all freezing! cool as a cucumber, though, you, aren't you? no, no, no. it's a special day, and to have the support, to have both charities here represented and to have all our team ready to go is brilliant. applause. five, four, three, two, one... go! what he's doing absolutely brilliant _ what he's doing absolutely brilliant. ., , the whole club are absolutely brilliant in helping. _ and kevinjust -
