states in geneva, russian officials say we have no tension —— they have no intention of invading ukraine. tonight with the context — sonia khan, former special adviser to conservative mp sajid javid when he was the chancellor, now the health secretary, and amanda renteria, top aide to hillary clinton in her 2016 presidential campaign. good evening. a new year, a new show. welcome to the first edition of context. at this hour each day, we will be bring you the best analysis on all the top stories with a panel of experts who will stay with us through the full hour to give their insights — and context — to what is happening around the world. we are going to start with novak djokovic who has been released from a melbourne immigration detention hotel. he was taken out in this white people carrier after an australian judge overturned the government's early decision to cancel his visa. that is not the end of it. within hours of his release today the world number one tennis player was back practising on court, telling the world that he's fully focused on competing in next week's australian open. in belgrade, his family have been reacting to the news of his release. his father said it was a big win than any of his grand slam victories. . ., ., , , victories. the game that has been played over the — victories. the game that has been played over the past _ victories. the game that has been played over the past five - victories. the game that has been played over the past five or - victories. the game that has been played over the past five or six . played over the past five or six days have been incredibly difficult for his family. he was not given any rights, he had no rights. they took away all his rights. his right that he has as a human being. let's bring in tracey holmes — sports reporterfor australia's abc news. she is in sydney. good to have you with us. a decision is expected this morning, any clues as to what might happen? can the decision be appealed? the decision can be appealed. — decision be appealed? the decision can be appealed, to _ decision be appealed? the decision can be appealed, to answer- decision be appealed? the decision can be appealed, to answer that i can be appealed, to answer that question. but it is a much higher bar that would have to be passed. because this comes down to the minister's responsibility and ability to make a decision in the interest of the public of australia and whether novak djokovic is a threat. this comes down to bio—security laws, the covid regulations, all of the things which people have been talking about in the past week or so. it does come down to that individual decision that the minister has the authority to make. he is going to want to make sure that his case is particularly watertight, having had the embarrassment of losing the case in the federal court yesterday. the federal government is not going to be able to have another loss. they will be working overtime to make sure that their case, if this is what they plan to do, leaves no room for such an appeal and such a loss. , . ., , ., ., , loss. there is clearly an almighty cock-u loss. there is clearly an almighty cock-up here _ loss. there is clearly an almighty cock-up here between _ loss. there is clearly an almighty cock-up here between tennis - cock—up here between tennis australia and the federal government. i want to show our viewers two letters which highlight this point. one is from the federal government, it was sent to tennis australia in november. making it clear that a covid infection was not necessarily an exemption as it might be in other parts of the world. then subsequent to that, this was a letter sent by tennis australia to the players which seems to say that actually it was an exemption. you can see why the judge came down on novak djokovic's side. the big question of course is that the people of melbourne have suffered six lockdowns, they have been behind closed doors for over 240 days, and there is a federal election coming up there is a federal election coming up in four months�* time. this is where the politics comes in. i up in four months' time. this is where the politics comes in. i think ou have where the politics comes in. i think you have given _ where the politics comes in. i think you have given an _ where the politics comes in. i think you have given an absolutely - where the politics comes in. i think. you have given an absolutely perfect description of the things at stake here. all of these are factors that are playing in. you have covid exhaustion where we are now heading into a third year after everything that people in australia have done and was a typically white people in melbourne and victoria who have had the worst of it and the most stringent of lockdowns, thinking that we were going to emerge from the other side, now we have more case numbers than any other time in the covid pandemic. there is frustration. there was oodles of coverage that basically suggested that here was somebody who was coming in and flouting our rules and regulations when in fact what was revealed in court yesterday showed that was not the case. the case was that was not the case. the case was that everything that was put to novak djokovic, he succeeded in achieving every barrier, every new medical exemption, every border force requirement to get a qr code before he could even get on the plane. to the interest in all of this is that there seems to be a miscommunication of the messaging between everybody. from tennis australia of the victorian government, the federal government, nobody really assure what the endgame is, who has the right, who gets to go into the toilet and who comes in. boarders are the federal government, —— who gets to go to the tournament. when it comes to exemptions, that is a state —based issue. this is where the cock—up occurred. i don�*t think anybody has gone about this and tried to intentionally bring about a clock up, i think everybody was doing the absolute utmost, but the dots just did not connect. the person that was caught in the middle was novak djokovic. caught in the middle was novak d'okovic. ., ~ , ., , . djokovic. thank you very much indeed for that. amanda, _ djokovic. thank you very much indeed for that. amanda, i _ djokovic. thank you very much indeed for

vis—a—vis australia�*s australia guides. —— travel guides. when you look at what the state department advises, you cannot travel to the united states unless you are fully vaccinated, there are limited exceptions. children under 18, those who are medically unable to receive the vaccine, and emergency travellers who don�*t have timely access to a vaccine. under those rules, i cannot see that novak djokovic would be allowed into the united states, would he? that djokovic would be allowed into the united states, would he?- united states, would he? that is riuht. united states, would he? that is

things. scott _ as an interesting current things. scott morrison, looking at the australian polling, you would think is interesting would be to take a tougher line. as tracy was just saying, you look at the implications, legal implications. there is appearance money, sponsorship money, reputation damage that there could be to novak djokovic. the government doesn�*t want to get involved. i

is right —— covid. i think it is right that no one gets special treatment whether issues of visas or medical exceptions or otherwise. from their perspective, there are a lot of australians who could not see or bury their loved ones during the pandemic, i imagine it is really hard tojustify why pandemic, i imagine it is really hard to justify why a celebrity should be treated differently. there is one other — should be treated differently. there is one other issue _ should be treated differently. there is one other issue as _ should be treated differently. there is one other issue as well, -

on the 16th of december and then reportedly he is seen on twitter in a photograph having children on the 17th. he will be forced to answer questions for that. i suppose the one takeaway from australia is that patience is running out for those who break the covid rules. that takes us neatly or perhaps not so neatly if you are sitting at number ten, to matters here in the uk. itv have published an e—mail from the prime minister�*s private secretary inviting number ten staff to a drinks party on may the 20th 2020. in the e—mail, martin reynolds writes "it would be nice to make the most of the lovely weather and have some socially distanced drinks in the number ten garden this evening. pleasejoin us from the number ten garden this evening. please join us from 6pm and the number ten garden this evening. pleasejoin us from 6pm and bring your own booze." 40 peoplejoined that party, this was at the time of the first lockdown, less than one hour before that party began, the then culture secretary oliver dowden was instructing the country that they should be following the rules and only meeting with one other person outdoors. sonia, the governing�*s defence the first time when these pictures emerged of a garden party on the 15th of may was that it was a working meeting. the e—mail that we see here from martin reynolds makes it very clear it is a social gathering, a drinks party. how does number ten defend that? i don't think it really can, i think don�*t think it really can, i think it knows that. it is going out of its way to try and manage it. it was really interesting over the weekend because we saw number ten trying to get ahead of this story by placing the blame on the senior private secretary to the prime minister martin reynolds. that is a process that we have seen before, olivia stratton got five and the pentacle issueis stratton got five and the pentacle issue is not about the aids around the prime minister, it is why there is so much more happening at number ten and what other consequences going to be? that is what most people are interested in. the idea of an internal enquiry is great being conducted, but what impact will that have? i think they are uncertain of the story 13, the bbc did a calculator combining them. to see what the impact is from this, will it stop people from listening to any further knock rules if they are introduced? i don�*t know. you are introduced? i don't know. you have your — are introduced? i don't know. you have your own _ are introduced? i don't know. you have your own issues as the former special adviser. have

it is a | difficult one to answer, because problem at number ten? it is a i difficult one to answer, because i think they have been issues with every single prime minister. what i find really hard is that nobody was able to stop and say "this isn�*t right, this isn�*t normal." a work party where you can bring your own beer or bring your own booze. there are lots of senior, very well educated, very intelligent people who knew the rules but either turned a blind eye, for they were too busy to address it.— to address it. does it irritate you? i have to ask _ to address it. does it irritate you? i

which is great because thatis the press, which is great because that is their role, but we have not had any other answers than concerning referring to an enquiry. where is the end point for this? i where is the end point for this? i suppose it is a very british story this, amanda, buti suppose it is a very british story this, amanda, but i suppose the thing to say is that there is always an

investigators are piecing togetherjust how 17 people came to die in a new york�*s worst apartment fire in decades. we will be live in the bronx next. some of the let�*s take a quick look at some of the other story today. an independent enquiry will look at how wayne couzens was able to abduct, rape and murder sarah everard last march. the first phase will look at his conduct during his career, they will also investigate whether any red flags concerning him and his behaviour. eight men who were abused by the convicted paedophile harry penneu by the convicted paedophile harry pennell more than 30 years ago have lost their high court case against the manchester city football club. the men now in their 40s and 50s said pennell was a scout to manchester city at the time. the judge ruled the club was not viable but praised the men�*s cross for bravery in coming forward. buckingham palace has revealed how the queen�*s platinum jubilee will be marked this year. the celebrations started today with a launched of accommodation —— competition to design a pudding for thejubilee. there will be a concert featuring some of the world�*s best—known entertainers. russian and american diplomats have finished up their first day of crunch talks which both sides hope will defuse the growing tension over ukraine. america says the russian president is setting unrealistic expectations, effectively a dismantling of your�*s post—cold war security. —— europe�*s post—cold war security. —— europe�*s post—cold war security. the situation could turn dangerous of the two sides can�*t agree. if now nato proceeds towards deployment of capabilities that are being developed very rapidly in the usa and will possibly be introduced somewhere in europe, it would require a military response on the russian part. kurt volker served as us special representative for the ukraine negotiations under president trump. good to have you on the programme. thanks are sparing us was just saying that demands that were made by russian unrealistic, some said they were the pretext for invasion, once they were inevitably rejected. tonight, the russians are saying they had no intention of invading ukraine. what do you make of that? the russians are saying a lot of things, they did say we have no plans to invade, they did not say they had no intention. but he also said that the security of the west and nato would be threatened if there is no flexibility on the nato side, no agreement. the russians are still threatening, and what they are threatening is violence or aggression if they do not get the west to agree to rewrite the rules of security in europe as the white house set. it is exactly what we are looking for, they want to have dominance over ukraine, sphere of influence, they want to say that countries don�*t have a right to choose their own alliances or a say over their internal affairs of other countries. they have already changed borders by force and want to assert that we have the right to do so. the event see this _ that we have the right to do so. the event see this as effectively a diplomatic shaking of the tree by russia? to see what falls out? see what sort of pressure

do anything about it, which he knows the west is not going to do militarily. he isjust putting it out there, stating his case and making it happen. that out there, stating his case and making it

that last point you made is the important i making it happen. that last point you made is the important one, i making it happen. that last point i you made is the important one, that the united states and the secretary of state are saying the response will be massive sanctions. but that is the extent of us involvement in europe now. we have had two successive presidents and now a third who are loath to get involved in foreign wars. i don�*t want to sound like a warmonger, farfrom it, but sanctions don�*t cut it, you wonder whether this is the inevitable outcome of the us attitude to the rest of the world. yes, added to your list is putin having observed the disastrous us withdrawal from afghanistan. and concluding that the united states at the moment does not have the stomach that any kind of military pushback. what we should be doing is putting force on the table, support for ukraine, support for our eastern allies so that russia sees that and make clear we have a willingness to use that force if we are forced to do so. but as we do not want to do so. and that we are also prepared to back down again if russia stands down its forces. what we see instead is saying we will only respond and we will only respond with sanctions, which i do not believe is enough to deter putin. which i do not believe is enough to deter putin-— which i do not believe is enough to deter

biden scion actively take this on. i think they are being very careful, given everything that happened in afghanistan, you are seeing secretary antony blinken on the different shows communicating that there is a lack of trust here, indicating with the american people that we are concerned, communicating to them that we are not sure where russia is going to go. setting the stage to have better communication than afghanistan, nothing you have a very experienced team that i think will begin to look at these lines. having said all of that, you are right, the model is sanctions, there is still a way to go with massive sanctions. i don�*t see biden changing that strategy, i think he will go forward with massive sanctions. but i think there will be a better communication strategy with the american people and globally as well. , , ., , well. trust is a big thing in the kurt volker. — well. trust is a big thing in the kurt volker, the europeans i well. trust is a big thing in the i kurt

coming on. we will briefly turn to a case in new york. officials in new york are investigating whether a maintenance issue with an apartment door may have allowed smoke to spread through a high—rise building in the bronx. 17 people were killed, including nine children, after a heater in a third—floor apartment malfunctioned on sunday. it appears that all those deaths were caused by smoke inhalation rather than burns. nada tawfik is in york for us. what we now know about the concerns of residents?— of residents? officials talking today about _ of residents? officials talking today

to this tragedy. first, a portable space heater that even the building had heating at the time, the family was using. that sparked the family was using. that sparked the fire. officials saying that they want to look closer at that. secondly, two doors were supposed to automatically shut in this building, and those malfunctioned at the time. the door to the unit here on the second and third floor where that blaze raged, then another doorway in one of the hallways on the 12th floor. allowing that smoke, as you said a prayer, to spread very quickly up the building. and to cause real concerns and measurements. —— as you said there. those are the two key failures that we had. , ., , those are the two key failures that wehad. ,.,, ..,, we had. obvious echoes with the tra . ed we had. obvious

force made up of local, state and federal authorities to try to get to the bottom of what new laws and procedures need to be put in place. for instance, those portable heaters, we know they are responsible for many other fires as well in the past. looking again at that safety. then i think one of the keyissuesis that safety. then i think one of the key issues is building maintenance and safety and what happened here. for example, the owner and officials including new york�*s mayor said the smoke alarms were working but many residents complained about the fact that they went off too frequently. today became accustomed to ignoring those warnings from those smoke detectors. they also talk about how these doors again, this automatic lock that failed, that is a provision that is in place in all of the city. one provision that is not is to have sprinklers in residential buildings. commercial buildings all have sprinklers in them, but residential buildings do not. like this one. there has been a push in new york and the city council in the past to do that, but it is extensive. landlords have complained about how much that would cost to upgrade. there are no discussions about whether that needs to be pushed through. also, there are no fire escapes on this building. updated buildings now have internal stairwells, that we can see these older buildings what happens when residents are faced with that smoke and fire. many had to wait to be rescued from their windows and were trapped inside. rescued from their windows and were trapped inside-— trapped inside. striking

top covid adviser, andy slavitt, amid criticism from some that the white house is failing on its public health messaging. back in a few moments. hello there. many parts of the uk will see some sunshine tomorrow. today, though, it�*s been a cloudy start to the week for all of us. cloud�*s been coming in from the atlantic, and it�*s been thick enough to bring with it some pockets of rain and drizzle. and the main weather fronts drive in that cloud and rain southwards this evening and overnight. clearer skies following into scotland and northern ireland, where we keep that cloudy, mild air across england and wales. some low cloud and further outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. certainly a mild night for england and wales, much milder than last night for eastern england — no frost this time. but where we have the clearer skies in northern ireland and scotland — particularly in eastern scotland — we could start tuesday with some frost and some sunshine, as well. but we have this cloud, rain and drizzle moving southwards across england and wales, coming to rest across east anglia and southern england. we should see some late improvements across south wales and the midlands, with more sunshine further north, a few blustery showers coming into the northwest of scotland. it�*ll be a bit cooler than today for glasgow and belfast — the highest temperatures will be where we�*ve got that cloudy, damp weather in southern england. that�*s on that weak weather front there, that moves away overnight. and then high pressure comes in to build across the southern half of the uk. further north, things look a little different through the rest of the week. there�*ll be a wind from the atlantic, but that will bring mild air — and it�*s across northern areas that we�*ll see the highest temperatures. further south, it�*ll be colder, the winds will be lighter, and there�*ll be more mist, fog, and low cloud developing through the week, as well. could well start with some frost across england and wales on wednesday, and a few patches of mist and fog — those will lift and many places dry with some sunshine. a bit more cloud into the northwest on that stronger wind could bring 1—2 showers. and it�*s across northern scotland that we�*ve got the highest temperatures — through the midlands, perhaps only five celsius. contrast, really, north—south, because of the position of the high pressure. now, on top of the high pressure, we�*ve got these milder, stronger atlantic winds. underneath the high, the air�*s just stagnating. so we�*ll find more mist and fog forming overnight and lingering through thursday across england and wales, perhaps lifting into low cloud. outside of that, some sunshine, more cloud comes in on those stronger winds in the northwest of scotland, but again, it�*s generally dry. and we�*ve got those contrasts again, north—south, across the uk. heading towards the end of the week, it looks quite grey for many parts of the country, actually, a bit more of this mist and fog developing once again. hello, i�*m christian fraser. you�*re watching context on bbc news. with the united states still reporting almost a million covid cases per day i will be speaking at white house adviser on the pandemic. here with the cost of cases soaring will ask if the government will fulfil its pledge to cut taxes on home energy bills. if it smelled fresh and it looks fresh then the milk is probably safe to drink. a major supermarket is replacing the use by dates and asking us to apply the sniff test. use by dates and asking us to apply the sniff test. very use by dates and asking us to apply the sniff test. very much use by dates and asking us to apply the sniff test. very much not use by dates and asking us to apply the sniff test. very much not pass there sell by date our panel is a back with the context of the former downing street adviser to the uk treasury amanda renteria who was part of hillary clinton�*s presidential campaign team. worst case scenario cases are stop at best case scenario cases are stopped rising. the prime minister is considering going the way of the united states and getting the length of time people need to self—isolate once they�*ve tested positive. there once they've tested positive. there is a argument to _ once they've tested positive. there is a argument to be _ had about the quarantine. players are there to come down from seven days to five days. the thing to do is look at the science.— days to five days. the thing to do is look at the science. let's remind ourselves how _ is look at the science. let's remind ourselves how the _ is look at the science. let's remind ourselves how the isolation - is look at the science. let's remind ourselves how the isolation rates i ourselves how the isolation rates compare. in the united states he fully vaccinated only need to isolate for five days so long as they are no longer showing any symptoms. here in england you have to isolate for seven days after positive test, it�*s similar in france. but it�*s all in people still have to isolate for ten days. so what is the science behind a? let�*s talk to andy who was advising the white house on the covid—19 last year. thanks for coming back to speak to us. let�*s look at the science then. what is the case of five days for isolation and does not start with symptoms or does that start with symptoms or does that start with symptoms or does that start with the positive test? as start with symptoms or does that start with the positive test? as you 'ust went start with the positive test? as you just went through _ start with the positive test? as you just went through the _ start with the positive test? as you just went through the science i start with the positive test? as you just went through the science is i just went through the science is still being debated. that�*s the nature of the pandemic whether it makes things tough and none of them perfect. if you let 10% of the people out into the public who are so contagious that�*s a bad thing, right? but if you keep 90% of the people who are not contagious away from theirjobs, theirfamily, their work that�*s also a bad thing. so your really doing, all the governments you talked about a trying to play the odds the best way possible. there is some period of time right around the fifth, seventh day after first getting diagnosed when you take a negative test and wear a mask, it�*s very likely for you to be safe out in public. i think everybody is circling around some version of that.— think everybody is circling around some version of that. obviously you sa the some version of that. obviously you say the science _ some version of that. obviously you say the science is _ some version of

are still receptive to public messaging. you be aware today in the american press there�*s been some criticism of the cdc. and they think people who are around the cdc that they are squandering the message was that prison somebody work with you. who worked for the biden advisory board. she says the administration general has lost the confidence of people who would be their natural supporters without you got the professor george washington university saying... when you look at the vaccination rate, fully vaccinated rate which is separately stuck at 62%. is there a problem with messaging a real cause for concern? l with messaging a real cause for concern? ~ , ., , ., concern? i think people are frustrated _ concern? i think people are frustrated and _ concern? i think people are frustrated and criticism... i concern? i think people are - frustrated and criticism... whenever you see cases spike and things are out of control you see plenty of criticism. there are definitely things the cdc should be criticised for, could do better, take lessons etc. a lot of what�*s behind some of this is why didn�*t people see delta come in and plan for? why didn�*t the government see him coming and plan for itwhy didn�*t the government able to convince a bunch of younger people, conservators in rural communities that she should get back sacred lectures is 85% of adults are added at least one shot. and inviting him into office only about 40% of adults at the time said they wanted to get vaccinated. in one year�*s time that�*s quite a bit of progress. maybe people are frustrated because it�*s not as fast oras frustrated because it�*s not as fast or as much as people wanted. i understand that, people are getting frustrated. all they can do is deal with things they can boosting as many people as possible, produces many people as possible, produces many tests and try to be clear and honest at every opportunity. your icture is honest at every opportunity. your

last year it was very high. it has now slumped. this issue with messaging, it started to have a real effect as we go into a midterm cycle. that's riuht. we go into a midterm cycle. that's right-

., ., country. we will have to let andy co. country. we will have to let andy no. and country. we will have to let andy go- andy slavitt, _ thank you for coming on. with those workplace absences on the rise... everywhere where the omicron variant is spreading — some companies are now starting to take action. ikea has told its staff that those who have to self—isolate after contact with a positive covid case will no longer get paid their salary but have to rely on government sick pay(gfx)the move the move means unvaccinated workers could receive as little as £96.35 a week under statutory sick pay rules the average pay for ikea shop floor staff is £404 for an average working week outside london. what do you make of that, sonia? on the conservative side they are defending peoples liberty and their peoples right not to have the vaccine while encouraging them to do this. i get the sense that companies facing an absentee challenge are starting to fill the void with their own mandates because the governments not going there. yes. own mandates because the governments not going there-— not going there. yes, i think that's true and that's _ not going there. yes, i think

is what they said... the issue, this is the point is here in england, if you are not vaccinated and you come into close contact with someone who has been infected with covid then as an unvaccinated person you have to say inside much longer than someone who was vaccinated. so that puts extra strain on the company. do you have some sympathy with companies that are going this way? l some sympathy

tech one stance, american airlines take another stance, using a treat vaccinated children in a certain way and unvaccinated in another way. you are seeing a lot more organisations really try and figure out how do you incentivise your staff to get vaccinated and at the same time not push people out? you will begin to see what companies do that, how does that affect customers and what does that affect customers and what does that mean for the business model going longer term? people a good beginning to recognise that is building up and what is the new model look like? lt�*s building up and

because when you look at the supreme court case last week where they are challenging the federal mandates its american businesses that are part of the case. because they think that the case. because they think that the mandates are going to lead to more labour shortages. where as other companies saying yeah, if people are out of work because not vaccinated and they are staying away longer because

the next month, two months you're gonna begin to see beyond on—site align all the other. it will impact industries differently. the airline industry will be very different from the restaurant industry and education industries was that will see that play out in real time as spikes are going out. here in the uk, pressure is building on prime minister borisjohnson to tackle the cost of living crisis. inflation right now doesn't look as transitory is thought. in the 12 months to october 2021, the cost of food and drink rose by i.4%. energy bills increased by six percent. they're expected to rise much more later this year. and the cost of car fuel rose by more than io%. to ease the pressure on people's finances, some are calling for the government to reduce vat on energy bills — in other words, to lower taxes. cutting energy bills was supposed to be the main dividends of brexit. this is what michael go set at the time. number one area in which we should remove vat is fuel because as we note the very, very poorest households spend up to 10% of their income on heat and power in their houses. also in 2016 ahead of the eu referendum, borisjohnson wrote in the sun newspaper that... but during a press conference just last week he rejected the idea. ididn�*t i didn't understand this because it is a brexit dividend. this is the prime minister that got brexit down. why is he so

went up by 6.1% compared with the year before. utility bills with the year before. utility hills which include water and electricity by 33%. and the cost of car fuel went up by 58%. and this is having an impact on president biden's approval ratings. a recent poll by cnbc and change research found that 60% of respondents disapprove of biden's handling of the economy. the problem is the money that would've injected some cash into peoples pockets the build back better bill is stuck, it stuck in the senate. 50 how does the government alleviate its problem here in the united states? {3.35 here in

divides in america between rural and urban. the conversation happening about gas prices in rural america is very much intense. and you will see districts that are particularly rural, red and from

pouring through the changes. one of the uk's 250 million years ago. it was discovered in the nature of serve in leicestershire. last february, on a bank of mud in a midlands reservoir, joe davis made an extraordinary discovery. we were relandscaping some islands on the rutland water nature reserve there to improve it for bird habitats. and i looked down, ijust saw this series of ridges in the mud and thought, that looks different, there's something there that's different. and it had organic features almost where it connects onto the rib. so, yeah, that's when we thought we need to call somebody and find out. a team of experts was quickly dispatched. joe hadn't found a dinosaur, but it was an ichthyosaur — a monstrous, air—breathing sea reptile, also known as a sea dragon, that swam about 180 million years ago. back then, rutland and most of the midlands was under water, covered by a warm, shallow sea. what makes this particular sea dragon so special is its size and condition. this is a backbone, so it's part of the spine, and this is one of more than 150 individual vertebrae in this entire skeleton. so, this individual is not only the most complete ichthyosaur skeleton ever found, the biggest one ever found here in the uk, incredible at ten metres long. but it's actually the biggest prehistoric reptile skeleton ever found here as well, the most complete skeleton. very gently back. 0k. the huge ichthyosaur has now been removed from the reservoir bed. the skull block on its own weighed almost a tonne. having lain in the mud undisturbed for nearly 200 million years, the rutland sea dragon is one of britain's greatest ever fossil finds. jonah fisher, bbc news. if you are watching at the beginning of our programme you'll know that we are talking about novak djokovic in the mix—up between messaging tennis australia and the rules are set down by the federal government. the tennis association has been speaking in the last few minutes. just a couple lines i want to bring you. complications related to tennis player entry in australia says the atp it shows the need for clear application of rules. and the events leading to mr djokovic is made a court hearing they said was damaging on all fronts. certainly it is tennis australia at the moment that seems to be carrying the can and the blame for what is unfolded. we will keep watching that. instead you'll see a best before label on 90% of its own brand milk. milk is the third most wasted food and drink product in the uk after potatoes and bread. the supermarket say generations before we give it

hello there. many parts of the uk will see some sunshine tomorrow. the week started with a lot of clout across the uk and before things equal out again the rest of the week will see differences north south. that really starts during tuesday as is where the front continues to push its way very slowly southward. bringing with it a lot of cloud and light rain and drizzle and that will get stuck across east anglia and southern parts of england during tuesday. slow improvements across south wales in the midlands. sunshine further north and a few blustery showers coming into the northwest of scotland. temperatures will be quite as high on tuesday and glasgow and belfast so not bad for the time of year. the highest temperatures will be where we got that cloudy damp weather across most of the parts of england. that will only slowly pull away during tuesday evening allowing some clear skies and lower temperatures to follow down from the north. will find after that weather front moves away and takes that low cloud and drizzle away. high pressure will build in a process the uk. further north at a different story. it's across northern areas to the rest of the week that we will see the highest temperatures for that mild air coming in on a struggle went from off the atlantic for the further south across the uk the uk the rest of the week will be somewhat colder. the winds will be lighter with increasing amounts of fog and low cloud. could be some patches of mist and fog around on wednesday but for many places it's dry. they'll be some sunshine around, cloud and the stronger winds in the northwest of scotland could produce one or two showers. but 11 degrees in the north of scotland where as it sits around five through the midlands on wednesday. without milder air coming in around the top of the area of high pressure, those stronger atlantic winds blowing in milder air. underneath the high the air just stagnates, gets a bit colder. will find fog developing more widely overnight, slowly lifting into low cloud, some areas will stay great all day. but outside of that fog will find some sunshine coming through. a bit more cloud for northern and western parts of scotland but it's here you'll find those temperatures again getting into double figures. similar story on friday. if anything, we may well find more of this mist and fog and low cloud more widely across the uk. probably a little bit further north because the winds will be a bit lighter. we still got highest temperatures to end the week across the northern half of the uk. still quite chilly under that misty, great weather further south. high quite chilly under that misty, great weatherfurther south. high pressure weather further south. high pressure is weatherfurther south. high pressure is tending to build a little bit further north on friday. it starts to retreat again at the start of the weekend allowing some weather systems to try and come in from the northwest. we could see a bit of shower rain in the northwest of scotland for that we may even see rain approaching the far southwest of england as the high just releases its grip a little bit. they'll be a lot of cloud around temperature showing little change on saturday. high—pressure retreating away for a while will be replaced by another area of high pressure coming in from the atlantic and the outlet. that coming in from the atlantic doesn't bring particularly cold air, probably bring a lot of cloud across the uk given that it's coming in from the west. these weather friends just steered to the north and northwest of the uk for the time being. without some quite mild air coming in for the really cold air is kept at bay for the outlook. it's not a particularly exciting outlook, it has to be said, pretty much all the same boat for the outlook with a lot of cloud around, a lot of dry weather around and typical temperatures will be around 729 lcs. goodbye. watkins, lindelof gets let off. luke
