it's come to the point where, if i'm a bit short on electric and it's close to the time i'm going to be paid to top up again, i have to be clever enough to say, "don't do that washing, because you'll run out of electricity." no djokovic, no problem — the australian open begins the world number one is on his way back to belgrade after being deported from melbourne following his failed week—long legal challenge. good morning. it isa it is a cold and frosty start today. some fog around. that will lift. for most of what it is going to be a sunny day. details coming up. good morning. it's monday, the 17th of january. our main story. two teenagers have been arrested in manchester, as part of the investigation into a siege at a synagogue in the united states. a british man, malik faisal akram, was shot and killed by police in dallas, texas, after he took a rabbi and three other people hostage during a service. they were later freed unharmed. counter—terrorism authorities on both sides of the atlantic are now investigating what happened. our us correspondent sophie long sent this report from texas. this is the moment the three final hostages ran for their lives, more than ten hours after their ordeal began. a successful, but nonetheless terrifying end, to the delicate, day—long operation involving negotiators and heavily armed police. the man, now identified as malik faisal akram, a 44—year—old british citizen, originally from lancashire, was shot and killed. he'd claimed to have a gun and a bomb when he interrupted a peaceful morning service being streamed from the congregation beth israel in dallas. people came here, a place of worship, to pray. but once again in america, a moment of peace became a moment of profound pain. as the people who are trapped, terrified, try to come to terms with what happened, synagogues across the country have increased security in fear of copycat attacks. this was an act of terror. we're not going to tolerate this. we have this capacity to deal with assaults on, particularly the anti—semitism that has grown up. and so i'll be talking with — i put a call into the rabbi. we missed one another on the way up here. but they should rest assured that we are focused. as soon as it became known that akram was a british citizen who, according to the fbi, entered the united states just two weeks ago, the investigation became global. counter—terror police in manchester are assisting the us authorities, and are now questioning two teenagers who were arrested in the city last night. sophie long, bbc news, dallas. 0ur reporter, dave guest, joins us from blackburn, where the hostage—taker was from. good morning, dave. what more can you tell us about this man, and the arrests which have been made here in the uk? good morning. police are saying very little about _ good morning. police are saying very little about those arrests. we know they took— little about those arrests. we know they took place in the south manchester area and i have two teenagers were arrested. we don't know_ teenagers were arrested. we don't know if— teenagers were arrested. we don't know if they are male or female and we don't _ know if they are male or female and we don't know their ages. this kind of activity— we don't know their ages. this kind of activity is — we don't know their ages. this kind of activity is always expected in the wake — of activity is always expected in the wake of a terrorist —related incident — the wake of a terrorist —related incident. the british police are liaising — incident. the british police are liaising closely with the american authorities in an ongoing and no doubt _ authorities in an ongoing and no doubt fast — authorities in an ongoing and no doubt fast paced investigation. this is blackburn police station. it was here that — is blackburn police station. it was here that members of akram's family spent _ here that members of akram's family spent many— here that members of akram's family spent many tense hours over the weekend — spent many tense hours over the weekend liaising with fbi negotiators and other authorities in the hope _ negotiators and other authorities in the hope of bringing this siege to a peaceful— the hope of bringing this siege to a peaceful conclusion. sadly, didn't without— peaceful conclusion. sadly, didn't without bloodshed. now, in a statement issued by his brother, the family— statement issued by his brother, the family said. — statement issued by his brother, the family said, "we as a family do not condone _ family said, "we as a family do not condone any— family said, "we as a family do not condone any of his actions and would like to— condone any of his actions and would like to sincerely apologise wholeheartedly to all the victims involved — wholeheartedly to all the victims involved in the unfortunate incident~ _ involved in the unfortunate incident.

it's all the nurses and the doctors who've worked hard during the pandemic, who obviously have been let down. they say that the devil that you know is better than the devil you don't know. and at least we know where we are with him. he won't do nothing, but somebody else might do something. i think he should go. i mean, there's been plenty of things happened in the past where politicians have done not half as bad as he's done, and they've had to leave. they've resigned, or they've been forced out. they should alljust go, for me. they're all out for themselves, not for the working people, are they? not one of them. the list of social do's that went on in westminster, when social do's were banned, is long. and these are just the ones we know about. it's up to this woman, sue gray, a senior civil servant, to catalogue the lot of them. but it could be another week or so before we find out what she's found out, leaving lots of conservative mps to ponder that... what my constituents are doing now, is they're comparing their own experiences over the last — well, almost two years, isn't it? — with what they're seeing on television. and a number of them are now looking on in disbelief that it's been the interpretation of some people in downing street that the law ends at the number 10 garden wall. so many conservative mps feel hugely let down, angry and unable to justify what has happened. but, for plenty of them, borisjohnson is the reason they're in politics, the reason they're in parliament. so, to topple him just two years after winning so big at a general election, is a huge thing for them to contemplate, let alone do. mps return here this morning with plenty to ponder. chris mason, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent, adam fleming, joins us now. morning. the start of a new week in westminster. morning. the start of a new week in westminster-— westminster. how has the weekend cone?

such a beautiful young girl with her whole life ahead of her. she did light up the room wherever she went. gracie spinks was stabbed in the neck as she was looking after her horse lastjune. it's believed the killer was a former colleague, who was found dead shortly afterwards nearby. gracie had reported him to derbyshire police for stalking her. a bag of weapons had been found and reported to police near the spot, where, just a week later, gracie was killed. the force is being investigated by the police watchdog over its handling of the case. christmas was particularly difficult, and her birthday notjust the family, but close friends and people beyond. it's been the worst christmas we've ever had. so painful. and just... just getting worse. the pain's getting worse, not better. a petition in gracie's name, to improve support for victims of stalking, has now passed 100,000 signatures. how does it feel that this is now going to be potentially discussed in parliament? one of my work colleagues actually sent me a screenshot of a football stadium and said, "just to put it into perspective, this is how many people, you know, loved gracie and have signed for gracie." and i thought, yeah, that puts it into perspective, really, when you see... ..see those numbers. yeah, amazing. the campaigner who set up the petition wants police forces to allocate specific funding for stalking cases. i'd like a separate pot - for stalking, for investigations, for the cps, for the courts, in order to prioritize - stalking cases. in response to the petition, the government said... it says it's also made a commitment to work with police, to make sure they're making proper use of stalking protection orders. for gracie's parents, it's about making a lasting difference. to make girls, women and men feel safer when they're out. this will go on. this will be grace's law, grace's legacy. it's like a message from gracie saying, "it's time for change." one young woman's life cut short by violence. but now, in her memory, a mission to try to protect others from suffering the same fate. and we will have gracie's mum and dad here with us on the programme later this morning. let's take a look at some of today's newspapers. "johnson's scapegoats" is the daily mirror headline as the paper claims the prime minister is poised to sack senior officials over what it calls "partygate". the paper also alleges that mrjohnson was at another number 10 party before christmas 2020. the daily telegraph leads on reports that borisjohnson has been questioned by sue gray, who is leading the investigation into those alleged parties at downing street. the paper says her report could be published as early as this week. elsewhere, the metro leads on novak djokovic's failed bid to stay in australia, after the tennis star lost his court battle against deportation. "go pack djokovic" is paper's headline. and here's a lovely picture in the yorkshire post — it's actually a composite image of 300 photographs of the cloudless sky above whitby abbey on saturday

talk about is not exactly in the happiness bracket. we've heard a lot on the programme recently about people struggling with high energy bills. today, theres a warning about the impact the next price rise could have. ben's got the details for us. this is the average household build —— a bill likely to increase by £600 to £700 in april. and as we've been saying, lots of people already struggling to cope even before that rise. this is all to do with the price cap. it is supposed to stop consumers on standard, default tariffs from being charged unreasonable amounts for their energy. currently, the cap is just over £1200 for an annual bill, as long as you use an average amount of energy. but, as we know, energy firms are having to pay more to buy the gas they pass onto us. many smallerfirms have been forced out of business, and suppliers say they need to pass the costs on. that means the energy price cap will almost certainly rise again. some experts think the new cap could be set at almost £2,000 a year. it isa it is a big jump from what is now just over 1200. one group that looks at this — the resolution foundation — says that decision will mean more than six million households are spending at least 10% of their monthly budgets on energy bills. that used to be defined as fuel poverty. in 2013 de kock changed that definition. it is now known as fuel stress. people are struggling to make their energy costs. whatever the term, the reality is more worry for people who've already seen their bills rise quite sharply this year. my colleague, michael buchanan, has been speaking to some of the people who are struggling. i weigh six stone at the moment. so i'm cold all the time. and because i'm a wheelchair user, and a lot of me doesn't move any more, my circulation is really very poor. anne vivian—smith has a neurodegenerative condition. she lives with her husband — a university manager — in a small, increasingly cold bungalow in nottinghamshire, and the rising cost of energy is harming her health. i have three thermal layers on almost all the time now. i was sat under four blankets last week. i no longer eat breakfast and lunch because it's too expensive. this morning, anne checked her energy bills, and received an almighty shock. we found out today — our energy bill is usually £84 pounds a month, and it's going up to 140. that's nearly doubled, and yet dave's salary is not going up, my benefits aren't going up, and i'm really distressed about it, and i've already had a little cry, and i'm likely to have another one! many more families will be similarly anguished by rapidly rising gas and electricity bills. the resolution foundation think tank calculates that, by april, over six million households in england will struggle with their energy bills, with costs set to increase on average from £100 to £150 a month. £50 a month increase is beyond the means of millions of families, especially coming at the same time as changes to the tax system, where national insurance contributions will increase. so, you know, we'll see a lot of families really struggling, come april. the government say it has put a range of measures in place to support households, and will continue to listen to consumers and business on how to manage their energy costs. can i have £25 on that, please? james hardin has already seen his costs nearly double in a year, each top—up lasting less time. i've put my postcode in. usually he'd just change providers. but this time, there's no point. it turns out that i am actually, in comparison to current energy deals available, on quite a good deal, it would seem, by quite a margin. james cares for his daughter for half the week, so heats his flat when she stays. otherwise, the 33—year—old lives frugally, even limiting his use of the washing machine. it's come to the point where, if i'm a bit short on electric and it's close to the time i'm going to be paid to top up again, i have to be clever enough to say, "don't do that washing, because you'll run out of electricity." so, let it build up, get paid, top up and then work through the washing, which is, again, a situation i've neverfound myself in until this year. low—income families, says today's report, should be offered a bigger and broader support package by ministers. but the scale of the looming price rises creates understandable worry. i have no choice but to use my hoists to change chairs, and to use my power chair to get around. i have no choice but to use my electric bed. and all of this is going to have an impact on the costs that our energy company is going to throw us. michael buchanan, bbc news. that is the reality for a lot of people already before the price cap, which is expected to go up in the spring. we're going to following this very carefully over the next few months, and we want to hear your stories. if you're seeing your bills soar or you've got a question we can help with, do get in touch. a reminder of our e—mail, which is a good way to get in contact. we are also available on social media throughout the programme and the rest of the week. that throughout the programme and the rest of the week.— rest of

and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. celebrity london chef antony worrall thompson has insisted he's not an anti—vaxxer, or against covid vaccinations, but he is someone who won't "discriminate against" people who haven't had the jab. his comments come after a sign was put up in his pub in henley—on—thames saying, "we do not discriminate. race, gender, age, disability, vaccinated or unvaccinated. everyone welcome." mr worrall thompson says he'll continue to support equality. two senior metropolitan police officers have been sacked for gross misconduct. chief superintendent paul martin and chief inspector davinder kandola are said to have "breached standards". they were also found to have "mistreated junior colleagues". scotland yard haven't said if the former officers will face criminal charges. a man from greenwich who's lost most of his sight during the past two years due to a degenerative eye condition has walked a 150—mile loop around london for charity — and he recommends us to do the same. richard simpson took up the challenge to raise money for the royal national institute for the blind, and by doing the route he says it's made him enjoy what's around him. we have some brilliant open spaces in london, and you can go out into it and it's just like being in the countryside. and i never realised there was so many bits of countryside which actually lie within london itself. travel now, and rail passengers are being urged to check their trains before they travel this week. some operators — including south western rail from waterloo — are introducing emergency timetables because of staff absences. they say it'll improve reliability. 0n the tube board, the northern line is part suspended — that'll be the case until may, due to engineering work which started at the weekend. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it's a cold start this monday morning. high pressure in charge, the temperature dropped overnight under clear skies, and the air, of course, very still. so we've got a patchy frost this morning — the temperature hovering first thing around zero celsius. but today we have plenty of winter sunshine, there's really not much in the way of cloud to speak of, and the wind is also light. temperatures today reaching a maximum of eight celsius. now this evening, overnight, it stays clear. quite quickly, the temperature will drop under those clear skies, but also fairly quickly we'll see some fog patches forming — and they're going to be quite dense and linger into tuesday. temperatures overnight down at minus one. of course, that's a recipe, potentially, for some freezing fog first thing tomorrow morning. now, if you do get the fog, it's likely to linger and therefore, underneath it, the temperature is quite suppressed on tuesday. couple of cold fronts sink south for wednesday — as they move through, though, overnight, we'll start to see colder air filtering in from the north, and also a bit if a north—northwesterly breeze, so the temperature is set to drop again as we head through this week — especially through thursday — but we should see a fair amount of dry and sunny weather. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. don't forget the northern line is pipe suspended for the next four months. you can get the latest travel situation and bbc radio london. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on the programme this morning... # i don't want to go to chelsea. # oh, no, it does not move me. elvis is in the building — or he will be at 7:50, when elvis costello drops in for a chat about his new single and his 40 years in music. former strictly winner kelvin fletcher has swapped his dancing shoes for a pair of wellies — he and his wife liz will be telling us about their new life as farmers. and it's a monday morning in the middle ofjanuary so we thought you might appreciate a dog in the studio. molly the puppy will be here, along with her owner — who is the brains behind itv�*s the secret life of pets. they are so cute! mps are returning to westminster today after a torrid few days for the government last week, with numerous revelations and allegations about parties and socialising in downing street during the pandemic. six conservative mps have publicly called for borisjohnson to resign over the matter. let's try to get an idea if any more are likely to follow suit, with two westminster—watchers. sebastian payne is from the financial times, and anna isaac is from the independent. we will bejoined we will be joined by sebastien hopefully shortly. good morning, anna. you are behind the story about operation save big dog, this alleged operation save big dog, this alleged operation to save the career of the prime minister borisjohnson. what more do you know about that and what do you think this week the poll for the prime minister?— do you think this week the poll for the prime minister? some papers have re orted it the prime minister? some papers have reported it as — the prime minister? some papers have reported it as operation _ the prime minister? some papers have reported it as operation red _ the prime minister? some papers have reported it as operation red meat - the prime minister? some papers have reported it as operation red meat so i reported it as operation red meat so there may be disagreements about who used which name when but there is certainly this fight back under way and few people would agree there is this tremendous effort going on to try to win hearts and minds back in the conservative party after some of the conservative party after some of the party revelations we have had drip fed over several weeks now. we are starting to see this effort to try to push a positive policy agenda and to try to detract away from the ongoing, bearing in mind the mirror reported another potential gathering last night, leaving do in the run—up to christmas 2020. there is a tremendous effort under way to try to highlight future policies but also talk up the achievements of the johnson premiership so far. there is that real nervousness now about whether or not he can weather this storm quite you talked over the weekend about how there was a grid, a plan as weekend about how there was a grid, a [an . , weekend about how there was a

the effort. in the coming days we willl effort. in the coming days we will see talk of issues like how to solve the nhs are back luck. we know that is a very key tenet ofjohnson's plans, people who work closely with him are particularly obsessed at the moment, he sees that as being a key mission. we have also seen in the newspapers across the weekend a lot of talking up the effort to combat immigration, which has obviously been a long—term concern of some of the grassroots supporters of the conservative party and formally the uk independence party. this is seen as a key issue and the images and reports of what has been happening in the channel have been key. deploying the armed forces in that effort have been something they have really tried to grab attention with and that has all been part of this communications grid, this technical approach that the spin doctors in number 10 take to trying to win across the media and readers by focusing on new policy. we have seen some of that under way already. i think in the coming days the thing that has been missing so far is this clear plan that is urgently needed before the 7th of february before we find out what the new energy price cap will be. where is the cost of living crisis saving grace? that is the key one, we have not seen it on the key one, we have not seen it on the grid yet. that will be very interesting. to do that, to make that successful, the prime minister will need the wholehearted support of the chancellor, so that will be very interesting. we haven't seen a great deal of rishi sunak on broadcast in recent days white lets bring in sebastian payne from the financial times. bring in sebastian payne from the financialtimes. lovely bring in sebastian payne from the financial times. lovely talk to you. we will speak to nadhim zahawi in about an hour. i am assuming when the subject of parties comes up he will mention the forthcoming report from sue gray. what do we know about that in terms of when we will get to seeit? that in terms of when we will get to see it? this week, next week? i’m see it? this week, next week? i'm afraid to say _ see it? this week, next week? i'm afraid to say we _ see it? this week, next week? i“n afraid to say we don't know for certain the answer to that. it could be as soon as this week but obviously gray is a senior civil servant, she has done this kind of many times before but never with quite the gravity of this one, the potential political impact. people working on the investigation says she will not be rushed, she will take as long as it's needed. it could be done as soon as the end of this week, but we have had new revelations of parties, another one being reported in the daily mirror this morning, plus those revelations about the parties in april 2021 at the end of last week and of course every new party it means more to investigate, more interviews were sue gray and we understand she has interviewed the prime minister is part of the investigation. it could be the end of next week but it would not surprise me if it kicks into the beginning of the following week. over several days last week things looked incredibly tricky for the prime minister. having had a weekend perhaps back in their constituencies, mps are coming back to westminster today at the start of a new weight. how do you think it is looking at the moment? the a new weight. how do you think it is looking at the moment?— looking at the moment? the mood amonist looking at the moment? the mood amongst mps _ looking at the moment? the mood amongst mps is — looking at the moment? the mood amongst mps is still _ looking at the moment? the mood amongst mps is still pretty - amongst mps is still pretty dire and i don't think it will have been improved by the weekend. the general mood music if you look at focus groups or opinion polls is that people are not very happy with the situation at all and an increasing number of people thinkjohnson should be replaced. there could be more at lectures of no confidence that go in this morning after mps have astute and it and there is this report on the front of the daily telegraph this morning. ultimately mps are going to wait for that sue gray investigation, even though we know most of the clear facts about these parties and johnson's involvement. operation save big dog, as it is dubbed by some of the newspapers, all these policy announcements to come but also expect clear out of downing street. the question for mp5, once they see the report, these policy announcements and the clear out of number ten, announcements and the clear out of numberten, does announcements and the clear out of number ten, does that give them confidence to back borisjohnson or do they think, what my constituency, one what my association say, that is done. we need to move on and have a different leader? i wouldn't expect a lot to change immediately but the mood music is still dark and hasn't really improved since the big set of revelations on friday.— revelations on friday. anna, it is interesting. _ revelations on friday. anna, it is interesting, these _ revelations on friday. anna, it is interesting, these parties, - revelations on friday. anna, it is - interesting, these parties, whenever they took place. do you think lots of people have seen the picture of sir keir starmer beer in hand as well in many

both sides are held to the - that? it is really important that| both sides are held to the same standard so it is really important that questions are asked about that. the difficulty is that you don't want to draw a false equivalent. you have to get to the bottom of what happened on each occasion. these were really strict rules for which fines were issued. if there were breaches. i think it is completely valid to ask the same questions of labour. i think so far it has not been possible to piece together the same pattern of events. i think there is a slight distinction in terms of where the energy is likely to focus because it tends to focus towards the government of the day, but it is absolutely appropriate to ask the same standards of everyone in public life. what is interesting is when i was talking to a conservative activist in swindon last night, that being a very interesting area for the conservatives and labour alike, they regard johnson as the ceo and said if he was the boss of a large business he would have had to leave his position. if the polls where a share price it would be straightforward. if you regard boris johnson as the ceo it may be that he demands greater scrutiny but keir starmer is the leader of the opposition and is making very strong statement at the moment calling on borisjohnson to resign so it is right they should be scrutiny of events that took place labour, as well. �* . ., well. anna isaac from the independent _ well. anna isaac from the independent as _ well. anna isaac from the j independent as sebastian well. anna isaac from the -

norrie has been knocked out in the first round. the british men's number one — who was seeded 12th — lost in straight sets to american rising star sebastian korda. but a winning start for the defending women's champion — japan's naomi osaka. she beat camila 0sorio to go through to the second round. six more brits, led by emma raducanu and andy murray, play tomorrow. another premier league weekend and another managerial casualty. this was not too surprising — rafa benitez, who was sacked yesterday after less than seven months in charge at everton. it comes after their 2—1 defeat at strugglers norwich city. there were angry scenes from travelling fans. everton have lost nine of their past 12 premier league games, sinking from fourth in the table to 16th. after he was sacked, he said he didn't realise the magnitude of the task. wins for liverpool and leeds in the premier league yesterday — head over the bbc sport website for all the details. england cricket fans may want to avoid it, though — there's a lot of analysis about what went wrong in this ashes series. they were hammered 4—0 in australia after england crumbled to another batting collapse to lose the fifth test in hobart. joe root has led england in 61 tests — more than any other man — but has not won any of his three ashes series in charge. but he insists he wants to stay on as captain. ten years after first lifting the trophy, neil robertson has won his second masters championship. the australian beat england's barry hawkins by 10 frames to 4 in the final at alexandra palace in london. he pockets a cheque for a quarter of a million pounds. his little daughter, two years old... thankfully it was a straightforward victory because it was way past her bedtime. there is a lovely photo ten years ago

freezing through the course of the night and now currently sitting at —2 in cardiff but at the other end of the country it is plus ten because we have a lot of cloud here it will be mainly dry. high pressure coming and going. at times there will be mist and fog around, as well. high pressure over us. no where near as yesterday, the front being held at bay in the atlantic. a cold start, is a mist and fog. nothing too sinister across south wales, south—west england, possibly northern ireland later on. that will all lift and for most it can be a dry and sunny day. a bit more cloud across the north and west, thick enough for drizzle but through the day even that will start to push away, so it will brighten across northern scotland. temperatures roughly about seven, eight, nine. through this evening and overnight quite quickly the fog will be far across the midlands and become more widespread, spreading into the vale of york, lincolnshire, east anglia, the saudis, parts of southern england and also cheshire. when different is being held at bay at this stage in the atlantic but we will in, from that by the end of the night and it will be a cold night once again with a widespread frost and some freezing fog. these are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities, lower in rural areas. that fog as a result will be freezing. the high pressure will slowly start to drift away, allowing the weather fronts to come in from the weather fronts to come in from the west. once again it will be quite a windy day but the fog tomorrow further south will take it's time to clear and some of it not moving until the afternoon. through the day, more cloud building in from the south—west to northern england. northern england and wales will see lounge chair of the sunshine and scott will hold on for the longest. you have a front coming in across northern ireland and scotland, bringing in some rain and also strong winds. even gusting to gale force. as we head on through tuesday night and into wednesday, our first when different things south followed by a second and you can see from the isobars it will be another windy day. here are our weather fronts in the south, producing some cloud and some patchy rain. behind them we are looking at some clear skies, some sunshine and holding of wintry showers across parts of the north and east. as we had overnight wednesday into thursday, high pressure starts to push into us. when still coming into the north—west, chewy direction and we are still looking at the widespread frost, again, but probably too much wind to have any issues with fog. thursday, a fair amount of sunshine, still a few wintry showers and still quite windy down the east coast. as a result, it will feel rather cold.— will feel rather cold. thank

covid vaccinations, but he is someone who won't discriminate against people who haven't had the jab. his comments come after a sign was put up in his pub in henley—on—thames saying, "we do not discriminate. race, gender, age, disability, vaccinated or unvaccinated. everyone welcome." mr worrall thompson says he'll continue to support equality. two senior metropolitan police officers have been sacked for gross misconduct. chief superintendent paul martin and chief inspector davinder kandola are said to have breached standards. they were also found to have mistreated junior colleagues. scotland yard haven't said if the former officers will face criminal charges. a man from greenwich, who's lost most of his sight during the past two years due to a degenerative eye condition, has walked a 150 mile loop around london for charity, and he recommends us to do the same. richard simpson took up the challenge to raise money for the royal national institute for the blind. and by doing the walk, he says its made him enjoy what's around him. we have some brilliant open spaces in london, and you can go out into it and it's just like being in the countryside. and i never realised there was so many bits of countryside which actually lie within london itself. travel now, and rail passengers are being urged to check their trains before they travel this week. some operators, including south western rail from waterloo, are introducing emergency timetables because of staff absences. they say it'll improve reliability. 0n the tube board, the northern line is part suspended. that'll be the case until may due to engineering work which started at the weekend. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it's a cold start this monday morning. high pressure in charge, the temperature dropped overnight under clear skies, and the air, of course, very still. so we've got a patchy frost this morning — the temperature hovering first thing around zero celsius. but today we have plenty of winter sunshine, there's really not much in the way of cloud to speak of, and the wind is also light. temperatures today reaching a maximum of eight celsius. now this evening, overnight, it stays clear. quite quickly, the temperature will drop under those clear skies, but also fairly quickly we'll see some fog patches forming — and they're going to be quite dense and linger into tuesday. temperatures overnight down at minus one. of course, that's a recipe, potentially, for some freezing fog first thing tomorrow morning. now, if you do get the fog, it's likely to linger and therefore, underneath it, the temperature is quite suppressed on tuesday. couple of cold fronts sink south for wednesday — as they move through, though, overnight, we'll start to see colder air filtering in from the north, and also a bit if a north—northwesterly breeze, so the temperature is set to drop again as we head through this week — especially through thursday — but we should see a fair amount of dry and sunny weather. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. two

drizzle. details later. good morning. it's monday, the 17th of january. two teenagers have been arrested in manchester as part of the investigation into a siege at a synagogue in the united states. a british man — malik faisal akram — was shot and killed by police in dallas, texas, after he took a rabbi and three other people hostage during a service. they were later freed unharmed. counter—terrorism authorities on both sides of the atlantic are now investigating what happened. our us correspondent sophie long sent this report from texas. this is the moment the three final hostages ran for their lives, more than ten hours after their ordeal began. a successful, but nonetheless terrifying end, to the delicate, day—long operation involving negotiators and heavily armed police. the man, now identified as malik faisal akram, a 44—year—old british citizen, originally from lancashire, was shot and killed. he'd claimed to have a gun and a bomb when he interrupted a peaceful morning service being streamed from the congregation beth israel in dallas. akram was heard ranting about religion and demanding the release of a pakistani neuroscientist with suspected links to al-qaeda, currently serving a prison sentence in texas. people came here, a place of worship, to pray. but once again in america, a moment of peace became a moment of profound pain. as the people who were trapped, terrified, try to come to terms with what happened, synagogues across the country have increased security in fear of copycat attacks. this was an act of terror. we're not going to tolerate this. we have this capacity to deal with assaults on, particularly the anti—semitism that has grown up. and so i'll be talking with — i put a call into the rabbi. we missed one another on the way up here. but they should rest assured that we are focused. as soon as it became known that akram was a british citizen who, according to the fbi, entered the united states just two weeks ago, the investigation became global. counter—terror police in manchester are assisting the us authorities, and are now questioning two teenagers who were arrested in the city last night. sophie long, bbc news, dallas. our reporter dave guest joins us from blackburn, where the hostage—taker was from. what more can you tell us about this man and the arrests that have been made in the uk? the man and the

there was another, smaller eruption overnight. no deaths have been reported so far, but communications are severely limited and the international red cross says it fears large scale devastation. a british woman living in the capital city is among those reported missing. howard johnson has the latest. a military surveillance plane leaving auckland, new zealand this morning, bound for tonga. australia has also sent planes to carry out an assessment of the damage caused by saturday's eruption of an underwater volcano. satellite images captured the moment a tsunami, triggered by the eruption, engulfed tonga and sent a shock wave across the pacific ocean. and listen to this. a sonic boom captured on video more than 400 miles away in fiji. sonic boom sounds. the international federation of the red cross estimate that more than 80,000 people have been affected by the eruption, with stories of missing people being reported on social media. briton angela glover was last seen by her husband clinging to a tree, before she was swept away by the tsunami. the family have put a number of posts on social media, appealing for information. she moved to tonga in 2015, leaving behind an advertising job to start an animal shelter, where she looks after and houses stray dogs, and is a popular figure on the island. the local authorities have been conducting searches and i believe they are still ongoing. it is daytime here. look, it is 48 hours. i am not holding out much hope. communications to tonga remain badly affected. not knowing what happened to loved ones is creating an unbearable concern. howard johnson, bbc news, manila. mps return to westminster today, as the government continues to face criticism over allegations of parties and drinking at downing

4th, more than 200,000 cases were reported for the first time. by monday, january 10th, one week ago, the number of daily cases had fallen to more than 140,000. and the most accurate figure from the weekend was the 82,000 cases recorded on saturday, which includes scotland. that's the lowest number in a month. we can speak now to the epidemiologist, professor mike tildesley. let's start with those falling covid cases. what do you think that is telling us overall?— telling us overall? well, it is certainly _ telling us overall? well, it is certainly coach _ telling us overall? well, it is

malik faisal akram. he was from blackburn. he was shot dead by police after a ten hour stand—off, and his hostages were freed unharmed. authorities in the uk and us are cooperating closely on the investigation. let's get a sense of how it might be unfolding. we can speak now to chris phillips, the former head of the national counter—terrorism security office here in the uk. thank you very much

of improving safety there has been a significant increase in the number of fatal collisions. she, the number of fatal collisions. a bbc panorama team has been looking into this. it found hundreds of speed cameras are switched off. police are doing fewer breathalyser tests and there are fewer dedicated traffic police officers. richard bilton reports. something is happening on our roads. for the first time in 40 years, there has been a significant rise in there has been a significant rise in the fatality rate, the deaths per mile. uk roads are getting more dangerous. the thing is, it shouldn't be like this. cars are getting safer, roads should be getting safer, roads should be getting safer. that is not what is going on. panorama has found there has been a sharp reduction in the number of dedicated police traffic officers. we got figures from 34 of the 44 police forces. they had 5000 dedicated traffic officers in 2016. but a officers have been lost in just five years. that is

deployment of resources is a matter for individual police forces, but it is investing an extra £1.1 billion in police funding next year. but what panorama has found is a road network with fewer checks and increased danger. richard bilton, bbc news. we will be speaking to the education secretary and a couple of minutes. and elvis costello. now time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. celebrity london chef antony worrall thompson has insisted he's not an anti—vaxxer or against covid vaccinations — but he is someone who won't "discriminate against" people who haven't had the jab. his comments come after a sign was put up in his pub in henley—on—thames saying, "we do not discriminate. race, gender, age, disability, vaccinated or unvaccinated. everyone welcome." mr worrall thompson says he'll continue to support equality. two senior metropolitan police officers have been sacked for gross misconduct. chief superintendent paul martin and chief inspector davinder kandola are said to have "breached standards". they were also found to have "mistreated junior colleagues". scotland yard haven't said if the former officers will face criminal charges. a man from greenwich who's lost most of his sight during the past two years due to a degenerative eye condition has walked a 150—mile loop around london for charity — and he recommends us — to do the same. richard simpson took up the challenge to raise money for the royal national institute for the blind, and by doing the walk — he says its made him enjoy what's around him. we have some brilliant open spaces in london, and you can go out into it and it's just like being in the countryside. and i never realised there was so many bits of countryside which actually lie within london itself. travel now, and rail passengers are being urged to check their trains before they travel this week. some operators — including south western rail from waterloo — are introducing emergency timetables because of staff absences. they say it'll improve reliability. 0n the tube board, the northern line is part suspended. that'll be the case until may due to engineering work which started at the weekend. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it's a cold start this monday morning. high pressure in charge, the temperature dropped overnight under clear skies, and the air, of course, very still. so we've got a patchy frost this morning — the temperature hovering first thing around zero celsius. but today we have plenty of winter sunshine, there's really not much in the way of cloud to speak of, and the wind is also light. temperatures today reaching a maximum of eight celsius. now this evening, overnight, it stays clear. quite quickly, the temperature will drop under those clear skies, but also fairly quickly we'll see some fog patches forming — and they're going to be quite dense and linger into tuesday. temperatures overnight down at minus one. of course, that's a recipe, potentially, for some freezing fog first thing tomorrow morning. now, if you do get the fog, it's likely to linger and therefore, underneath it, the temperature is quite suppressed on tuesday. couple of cold fronts sink south for wednesday — as they move through, though, overnight, we'll start to see colder air filtering in from the north, and also a bit if a north—northwesterly breeze, and also a bit of a north—northwesterly breeze, so the temperature is set to drop again as we head through this week — especially through thursday — but we should see a fair amount of dry and sunny weather. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. mps are returning to westminster today after a weekend in which many of them will have been finding out what their constituents think about the way downing street was operating during the pandemic. we can speak now to the education secretary nadhim zahawi. good morning, mr zahawi. good morning, mrzahawi. thank good morning, mr zahawi. thank you for being with us today. let's talk about the weekend. how concerned have you been that this ongoing saga about parties, whether they were christmas parties or lockdown parties, are turning voters against the government?— parties, are turning voters against the government? good morning, dan. look, for the

is both personal because i lost my uncle to covid and we couldn't visit him in hospital, we couldn't have a properfuneralfor him, so for my family it is personal. but also it is public, i am the secretary of state for education, as you said, and part of that team of course that did the vaccination programme... and you know, very much part of the team that takes responsibility, as well. and i think, you know, people feel a lot of pain, a lot of hurt, a lot of upset, which is why i think it was right for the prime minister to come to parliament and apologise. we have had the apology, we now need the detail and i think it is only right sue gray, you know, i very senior civil servant, sue gray, you know, i very senior civilservant, is sue gray, you know, i very senior civil servant, is allowed to conduct the inquiry, the investigation, and look into, and wherever it takes her, into what happened. i think thatis her, into what happened. i think that is only right and the prime minister has pledged that he will come back to parliament and make a statement after the sue gray investigation is completed and i think that is the right thing to do, as well. and i hope notjust that the prime minister, but other politicians, and i saw sophie raworth over there weekend question keir starmer what happened with their drinking event, and i hope he finds it within himself to apologise because i think people expect, you know, very high standards from their leaders and i think that's only right. leaders and i think that's only riwht. :. . . leaders and i think that's only riwht. :, ,

right. on that issue of high - standards, you have just explained standards, you havejust explained that that you lost a family member to covid during the last 18 months, as well, and ijust wonder how you feel personally, given that, when you hear, and another allegation over the weekend, the mirror saying there was another party, a leaving do in the build—up to christmas 2020, which they say was attended by the prime minister. how do you respond personally to that, do you roll your eyes, think, "not another one"? how does that make you feel? look, as i said, it is personal. as many people up and down the country, the premiers to recognise their angen the premiers to recognise their anger, that upset. they cannot turn the clock back and bring their loved ones back, as we can't, you know, have a proper funeral ones back, as we can't, you know, have a properfuneralfor ones back, as we can't, you know, have a proper funeral for my uncle and he said at the dispatch box, "i wish i could turn the clock back to that evening at 6pm on the 20th of may and say, look, you know, i should have acted differently, i should have acted differently, i should have acted differently, i should have told everyone go back to their desks." i hope, as i said... we all, including keir starmer, can apologise and say, i wish i didn't have those drinks because it was wrong. i think it is right that we have that apology but i think it is also right to have a thorough investigation as i want to know the details. my family need to know the details, the rest of the country needs to know the details, and the prime minister has absolutely pledged he'll come back to the house and submit himself to parliament, which is our parliamentary democracy. mps represent constituents and that is the right, right thing to do. you don't condemn a man without the investigation, in my view. t a man without the investigation, in m view. ,, :, :, :, my view. i know you have mentioned sir keir starmer. _ my

and what we get into this programme and how people respond to the latest allegations. that anger does seem to be growing that the rule makers have become the rule breakers. what have you been seeing

thorough, we know it will be thorough and i reassure my constituents that, you know, sue gray is a very senior civil servant, very well able to conduct this investigation and will do absolutely thorough job and she can follow the evidence wherever it takes her, and if she finds any form of lawbreaking, criminal activity, then that will be submitted to the metropolitan police or anything she need to do she will be able to do. that is the right thing to do, in my view, and it is only right that we don't, you know, condemn the prime minister. someone who has apologised to parliament and said that, you know, he will come back when the sue gray investigation is finished. that is the fairest way of dealing with this white are you worried at all about his future? well, i would say that the... the prime minister, and the big calls... if you look at what he did on the vaccine programme... i remember a meeting where he was even some advice that we shouldn't buy more vaccines for a booster and he pushed hard. no, let's buy the additional vaccines and of course we had a new variant and needed to boost. on the omicron call before christmas, and sticking to plan b and keeping the economy open, the most open economy in europe, he got that right, as well, and of course we are all human. you judge a man by the decisions they make and he has made a mistake when it came to the 20th of may and he admitted it and apologised for it. i think it is important now we see the evidence because i think that is the only way we clear this up, is by having that investigation. you we clear this up, is by having that investigation.— we clear this up, is by having that investigation. you have spoken out about some _ investigation. you have spoken out about some of _ investigation. you

morning part of operation and save a big dog, which for those who don't know is rumoured to be this government plan to rescue the reputation of the premise to? —— operation save big dog stuff and i don't recognise that at all. you will know this because you have been around westminster. government does not 0 erate around westminster. government does not operate like — around westminster. government m-» not operate like that. if you look at the work i'm doing on a levelling up, come into department for education, making sure every child gets a really high level of education, consistently, in every corner of our country, the work that michael gove is doing on the levelling up white paper which i am working closely with him on. the most important human capital is, the human resource, the most valuable resource, all that work, be it what priti patel is doing on her nationalities and borders bill to deal with criminal element that is putting lives at risk on those little boats... all the work we do across government on cost of living, £42 billion to help people with energy costs that we are putting in, that doesn't happen overnight, you cannot disrupt those things and

make them up this weekend, that is my point. ok. you mentioned _ this weekend, that is my point. ok. you mentioned education. let me ask you about that because the current plan b rules in england are expected to be reviewed in nine days. judging by the current data we have fun on omicron and we have just spoken to a leading epidemiologist about this, are you confident those rules will be lifted? . . are you confident those rules will be lifted? , , ., be lifted? the numbers are looking ositive. if be lifted? the numbers are looking positive- if you _ be lifted? the numbers are looking positive.

high, hospitalisations are still high will stop touching 20,000 people in hospital. it feels like they are plateauing —— the numbers are still high, 20,000 people in hospital. the numbers in icu are coming down, seven in london, which was the epicentre. a number of staff absence in education has remained pretty flat. it was 8% before christmas, it is at 8.5% now. i am confident that when we reviewed this on the 26th of january, as we said we were, we will be in a much better place to lift some of these restrictions. it is worth remembering that because we stuck to plan b this economy is the most open one in europe. [30 stuck to plan b this economy is the most open one in europe.- most open one in europe. do you think we are — most open one in europe. do you think we are in _ most open one in europe. do you think

far? i covid—19? would you go that far? i think we are witnessing the transition of this virus from pandemic to endemic and i hope we will be one of the first major economies in the world to demonstrate to the world how you transition this from pandemic to endemic with the vaccination programme, of course of the booster there are three lines of defence. the booster, testing and therapeutics. what we have been able to do, i hope, is to help the rest of the world, as well, with their own vaccination programme but also demonstrate how you transition from pandemic to endemic. we are on that road, that is for certain. there are bumps on that road. one of these bumps on that road. one of these bumps was omicron, a big book. there will be other variants but the vaccines are getting better. there will be a multi—favoured, polyvalent coming through. the therapeutics are getting better. we test twice as much as france and four times as much as france and four times as much as france and four times as much as germany so we are in a much better place than we have ever been managing this virus that white nadhim zahawi, thank you for your time this morning, good to talk to

disappointment for cameron norrie — he's been knocked out in the first round. the british men's number one — who was seeded 12th — lost in straight sets to american rising star sebastian korda. but a winning start for the defending women's champion, japan's naomi osaka. she beat camila osorio to go through to the second round. six more brits, led by emma raducanu and andy murray, play tomorrow. another premier league weekend and another managerial casualty — this was not too surprising, rafa benitez who was sacked yesterday after less than seven months in charge at everton. it comes after their 2—1 defeat at strugglers norwich city. there were angry scenes from travelling fans. everton have lost nine of their past 12 premier league games, sinking from fourth in the table to 16th. after he was sacked, he said he didn't realise the magnitude of the task. wins for liverpool and leeds in the premier league yesterday — head over the bbc sport website for all the details. ten years after first lifting the trophy, neil robertson has won his second masters championship. the australian beat england's barry hawkins by 10 frames to 4 in the final at alexandra palace in london. he pockets a

the imposters and they are a group of songs about different times in your life, when you are leaving childhood and wonders of childhood, all the anxiety of your teenage years and then you get into your young adult hood and still making the same excuses you made when you were kid. all these stories and been very happy this week to read people hearing it for the last few days and going, i like this song and i've been that guy, i remember that, you know? it is not a nostalgic record in the slightest, even though it does sort of... you know, it is three guys that have played together for 45 years on and off and the bass player has been in alabama for 20. we have experienced musically but also experience together of things that have happened to us. when we play music together now, you know, we have grown up to some degree, acted badly, you know, there has been children born, we have seen parents leave, even a couple of devices and things like that. it means that when we play

and we were working on spanish versions of this year's model, which we made in 1978. took my voice off the record, and heaven knows what was holding that back over all the years. just to hear what it sounded like to hear people singing in another language, sometimes hearing women sing a young man's some from 1978 and just terrific thing, a bunch of new friends. this record, the boy named if, it comes as i made it, like a collection of children's stories and i have drawn the cover of the record and they said, what if there is no vinyl to put it on? i said, why don't we make it a real

together, and after that it is your choice of what you do with them. so then the instantaneous access to songs and walking around with them as you travel through your working day or whatever you are doing, is a luxury. we didn't used to have that, we were tied to a space. but there is also something to putting a record on with the one you love, with somebody you want to play it for and the physical object of the record is still, to me, really lovely thing because it gives you a chance to have something substantial in your hand, so it is always important to have something robust in 1's

injune and had a great tour of american. charlie sexton from san antonio, texas, that allows us to kind of rearrange the songs. suddenly we just sort of had all these new songs and 1977 was the last time i had two albums worth of new songs that the audience hadn't heard because i had the songs from my last record that had never been played on stage and we debuted some of the boy named if on that tour in october. now we have been back here injune and people can see us and they hopefully will have heard some of these songs aren't record. it's just lifts it and you never want to feel self—satisfied. it is lovely that people want to hear certain songs from the past, but i make the choices about what we sing and why i am singing it is why you trust me to do it, that is myjob, to make the relationship with what songs have value to me, what they mean, what they mean at this moment in time and rearrangements canjust they mean at this moment in time and rearrangements can just be subtle things. they will not be unrecognisable. just having one other player makes everybody play differently. you are listening to each other. i know you have a background in sport, having suddenly a

it's monday, the 17th of january. our main story. two teenagers have been arrested in manchester as part of the investigation into a siege at a synagogue in the united states. a british man — malik faisal akram — was shot and killed by police in dallas, after he took a rabbi and three other people hostage during a service. they were later freed unharmed. counter—terrorism authorities on both sides of the atlantic are now investigating what happened. our us correspondent sophie long sent this report from texas. this is the moment the three final hostages ran for their lives, more than ten hours after their ordeal began. a successful, but nonetheless terrifying end, to the delicate, day—long operation involving negotiators and heavily armed police. the man, now identified as malik faisal akram, a 44—year—old british citizen, originally from lancashire, was shot and killed. he'd claimed to have a gun and a bomb when he interrupted a peaceful morning service being streamed from the congregation beth israel in dallas. akram was heard ranting about religion and demanding the release of a pakistani neuroscientist with suspected links to al-qaeda, currently serving a prison sentence in texas. he had arrived in the us two weeks ago. people came here, a place of worship, to pray. but once again in america, a moment of peace became a moment of profound pain. as the people who were trapped, terrified, try to come to terms with what happened, synagogues across the country have increased security in fear of copycat attacks. this was an act of terror. we're not going to tolerate this. we have this capacity to deal with assaults on, particularly the anti—semitism that has grown up. and so i'll be talking with — i put a call into the rabbi. we missed one another on the way up here. but they should rest assured that we are focused. as soon as it became known that akram was a british citizen the investigation became global. counter—terror police in manchester are assisting the us authorities, and are now questioning two teenagers who were arrested in the city last night. sophie long, bbc news, dallas. our reporter dave guest joins us from blackburn, where the

under—sea volcanic eruption and tsunami. there was another, smaller eruption overnight. no deaths have been reported so far, but communications are severely limited, and the international red cross says it fears large—scale devastation. a british woman living in the capital city is among those reported missing. howard johnson has the latest. a military surveillance plane leaving auckland, new zealand this morning, bound for tonga. australia has also sent planes to carry out an assessment of the damage caused by saturday's eruption of an underwater volcano. satellite images captured the moment a tsunami, triggered by the eruption, engulfed tonga and sent a shock wave across the pacific ocean. and listen to this. a sonic boom captured on video more than 400 miles away in fiji. sonic boom sounds. the international federation of the red cross estimate that more than 80,000 people have been affected by the eruption, with stories of missing people being reported on social media. briton angela glover was last seen by her husband clinging to a tree, before she was swept away by the tsunami. the family have put a number of posts on social media, appealing for information. she moved to tonga in 2015, leaving behind an advertising job to start an animal shelter, where she looks after and houses stray dogs, and is a popular figure on the island. the local authorities have been conducting searches and i believe they are still ongoing. it is daytime there. look, it is 48 hours. i am not holding out much hope. communications to tonga remain badly affected. not knowing what happened to loved ones is creating an unbearable concern. howard johnson, bbc news, manila. mps return to westminster today, as the government continues to face criticism over allegations of

memory. it's thought gracie spinks was killed by a former work colleague, who she had previously reported for stalking her. he was found dead near the murder scene. now a petition calling for more support for stalking victims has received 100,000 signatures, and will be debated in parliament. let's take a look at some of the statistics. the most recent figures show that nearly 4% of people over the age of 16, in england and wales, had experienced stalking in the previous year. there were an estimated one and a half million victims. and nearly two thirds of them were women. the campaigners for gracie's law are calling for police forces to allocate specific funding to help victims of stalking. that money would be used to pay for special stalking advocates, who would help people reporting incidents of stalking. gracie's parents, alison heaton and richard spinks, join us now. and suky bhaker is the chief executive of the suzy lamplugh trust, which supports victims of stalking. she's in north london. thank you all very much indeed for talking to us this morning. it is not that long since you were in talking to us, just like last year. tell us first of all, what does this mean, this

i'm asad ahmad. celebrity london chef antony worrall thompson has insisted he's not an anti—vaxxer or against covid vaccinations — but he is someone who won't "discriminate against" people who haven't had the jab. his comments come after a sign was put up in his pub in henley—on—thames saying, "we do not discriminate. race, gender, age, disability, vaccinated or unvaccinated. everyone welcome." mr worrall thompson says he'll continue to support equality. two senior metropolitan police officers have been sacked for gross misconduct. chief superintendent paul martin and chief inspector davinder kandola are said to have "breached standards". they were also found to have "mistreated junior colleagues". scotland yard haven't said if the former officers will face criminal charges. a man from greenwich who's lost most of his sight during the past two years due to a degenerative eye condition has walked a 150—mile loop around london for charity — and he recommends us — to do the same. richard simpson took up the challenge to raise money for the royal national institute for the blind. and by doing the walk, he says it's made him enjoy what's around him. we have some brilliant open spaces in london, and you can go out into it and it's just like being in the countryside. and i never realised there was so many bits of countryside which actually lie within london itself. travel now, and rail passengers are being urged to check their trains before they travel this week. some operators — including south western rail from waterloo — are introducing emergency timetables because of staff absences. they say it'll improve reliability. on the tube board, the northern line is part suspended. that'll be the case until may due to engineering work which started at the weekend. onto the weather now with kate. good morning. it's a cold start this monday morning. high pressure in charge, the temperature dropped overnight under clear skies, and the air, of course, very still. so we've got a patchy frost this morning — the temperature hovering first thing around zero celsius. but today we have plenty of winter sunshine, there's really not much in the way of cloud to speak of, and the wind is also light. temperatures today reaching a maximum of eight celsius. now this evening, overnight, it stays clear. quite quickly, the temperature will drop under those clear skies, but also fairly quickly we'll see some fog patches forming — and they're going to be quite dense and linger into tuesday. temperatures overnight down at minus one. of course, that's a recipe, potentially, for some freezing fog first thing tomorrow morning. now, if you do get the fog, it's likely to linger and therefore, underneath it, the temperature is quite suppressed on tuesday. couple of cold fronts sink south for wednesday — as they move through, though, overnight, we'll start to see colder air filtering in from the north, and also a bit of a north—northwesterly breeze, so the temperature is set to drop again as we head through this week — especially through thursday — but we should see a fair amount of dry and sunny weather. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. we are here until 9:15am and then... morning live follows us on bbc one this morning. what a way to start the week, saying a

help. it can help you understand the connection between your mind and your body. also today, over four million people in the uk have set up— surveillance cameras— in their homes and businesses. but matt allwright investigates the laws you could be breakingj without even realising, - and why scammers could be watching your every move. talking of cameras — the winterwatch team is getting set to return to our screens tomorrow night. and we have an exclusive look at the animals getting caught on camera this series, including how thermal imaging is helping to find this very secretive bird. imean, where i mean, where is it?! i need a camera— i mean, where is it?! i need a camera for— i mean, where is it?! i need a camera for that! and a record 8.9 million people . tuned into the first

tuned, everybody! - we've heard a lot on the programme recently about people struggling with high energy bills. today, theres a warning about the impact the next price rise could have. ben's got the details for us. it is going to be a real squeeze. it is and people are feeling it already. this is the average household bill expected to go up by another 600 to £700 in the spring. and as we've been saying — lots of people already struggling to cope even before that rise. this is all to do with the price cap — it is supposed to stop consumers on standard, default tariffs from being charged unreasonable amounts for their energy. currently, the cap is just over £1,200 for an annual bill as long as you use an average amount of energy. but — as we know — energy firms are having to pay more to buy the gas they pass onto us. many smaller firms have been forced out of business and suppliers say they need to pass the costs on. that means the energy price cap will almost certainly rise again. some experts think the new cap could be set at almost £2,000 a year. one group that looks at this — the resolution foundation — says that decision will mean more than 6 million households are spending at least 10% of their monthly budgets on energy bills. people who fall into that category used to be described as being in fuel poverty. the government changed the official definition in 2013 so it's now referred to as fuel stress. whatever the term, the reality is more worry for people who've already seen their bills rise quite sharply this year. my colleague michael buchanan has been speaking to some of the people who are struggling. i weigh six stone at the moment. so i'm cold all the time. and because i'm a wheelchair user, and a lot of me doesn't move any more, my circulation is really very poor. anne vivian—smith has a neurodegenerative condition. she lives with her husband — a university manager — in a small, increasingly cold bungalow in nottinghamshire, and the rising cost of energy is harming her health. i have three thermal layers on almost all the time now. i was sat under four blankets last week. i no longer eat breakfast and lunch because it's too expensive. this morning, anne checked her energy bills, and received an almighty shock. we found out today — our energy bill is usually £84 a month, and it's going up to 140. that's nearly doubled, and yet dave's salary is not going up, my benefits aren't going up, and i'm really distressed about it, and i've already had a little cry, and i'm likely to have another one! many more families will be similarly anguished by rapidly rising gas and electricity bills. the resolution foundation think tank calculates that, by april, over six million households in england will struggle with their energy bills, with costs set to increase on average from £100 to £150 a month. £50 a month increase is beyond the means of millions of families, especially coming at the same time as changes to the tax system, where national insurance contributions will increase. so, you know, we'll see a lot of families really struggling, come april. the government say it has put a range of measures in place to support households, and will continue to listen to consumers and business on how to manage their energy costs. can i have £25 on that, please? james harpin has already seen his costs nearly double in a year, each top—up lasting less time. i've put my postcode in. usually he'd just change providers. but this time, there's no point. it turns out that i am actually, in comparison to current energy deals available, on quite a good deal, it would seem, by quite a margin. james cares for his daughter for half the week, so heats his flat when she stays. otherwise, the 33—year—old lives frugally, even limiting his use of the washing machine. it's come to the point where, if i'm a bit short on electric and it's close to the time i'm going to be paid to top up again, i have to be clever enough to say, "don't do that washing, because you'll run out of electricity." so, let it build up, get paid, top up and then work through the washing, which is, again, a situation i've neverfound myself in until this year. low—income families, says today's report, should be offered a bigger and broader support package by ministers. but the scale of the looming price rises creates understandable worry. i have no choice but to use my hoists to change chairs, and to use my power chair to get around. i have no choice but to use my electric bed. and all of this is going to have an impact on the costs that our energy company is going to throw us. michael buchanan, bbc news. let's speak to emma pinchbeck, the chief executive of energy uk — the organisation representing the suppliers. we have had cases there that will resonate with people right across the country. people not eating, not using their washing machine because they cannot avoid the energy. this is britain in 2022. what do you say to people like temple and jamie? due to people like temple and jamie? are reall to people like temple and jamie? fife: really horrendous situation to people like temple and jamie? 9:9 really horrendous

and vulnerable customers, these price rises are significant enough that they are going to affect millions of households. the energy industry has been working with government to get into place additional support. we have put in support for this autumn but clearly something much bigger needs to be done because this is a really big crisis. ~ :. done because this is a really big crisis. ~ :,

like remove vat or it move policy costs into taxation where they currently sit on the bill. there is a range of options we have already been talking about. however the scale of this is so big it is a whole economy issue. the gas price feeds into the entire economy for this for customers and others and the treasury has asked industry to look at options to spread the cost of the gas itself over a longer period of time and there are discussions going on to do that. when you say policy costs, you mean the green levies that appear on bills with yellow there are a number of levies on bills and the

which is what we hope to do. it is bringing forward that decision and there are mechanisms by which they could do that. fundamentally that would take a few hundred pounds off the bill, may be. we think they may need to do something much bigger at the whole economy level and it is those discussions being had. ehip the whole economy level and it is those discussions being had. ship of the ener:

spread the cost. that sort of thing is being done. i said this in all of the interviews i have done, the industry it put up some additional support for vulnerable and fuel poor customers this autumn. if anyone listening is desperately worried about their bill at the moment there may be support available to them, and the first thing they should do is contact their supplier. if they are uncomfortable contacting their supplier for whatever reason, they can also contact citizens advice and we are running a big consumer campaign with consumer groups. we are all aligned on this, we desperately want the government to intervene to make this period easier for customers. taste intervene to make this period easier for customers-— intervene to make this period easier for customers. we

of what is a really unprecedented and international gas crisis. this is affecting the energy sector across europe. the big component of this price jump is unanticipated price but there is a second thing about our retail market. the government has already said they are going to look at retail market reform to try to make the industry more stable and able to do more for consumers and indeed able to invest in things like net to zero in the future. that is why the suppliers put up additional support as much as they can, but the cost of this crisis need to be recovered from somewhere and again that is why we are saying there should be a role for the treasury in there somewhere, this cannotjust be borne by industry and customers. it is a really serious economic issues. ok. really serious economic issues. ok, thank ou really serious economic issues. ok, thank you for— really serious economic issues. ok, thank you for speaking to us this morning. emma pinchbeck from energy uk. we're going to follow this very carefully over the next few months, and we want to hear your stories. if you're seeing your bills soar or you've got a question we can help with, do get in touch. the details are on your screen now. thank you very much indeed. time now for a very poignant update on a story we featured on breakfast a couple of years ago — about a wonderful friendship between a football fan, mark cruise, and carlo ancelotti, who was everton manager at the time. mark was living with motor neurone disease — he died on friday. let's just remind ourselves of the relationship he'd developed with carlo ancelotti. hey, mr ancelotti, how are you? hi, mark, how are you? normally you'd think maybe your friends were having a laugh with you but it was quite apparent it was carlo ancelotti. after he initially rang me, i sent him a bottle of wine to thank him but then he rang back, completely unscripted. it helps because it lifts your spirits. don't call me mr ancelotti! call me carlo. can i just clarify this? it's like... it's like going to buckingham palace and the queen saying, "just call me liz." no, no, no. we are more or less... i am older than you, but not too much. like two people who've known each other all our lives, talking about football and this, that and the other. the minute everton got a whiff of something, they came and stood by me. that is a lovely, lovely friendship. everton has also paid its respects. "during the club's blue family campaign mark struck up a friendship with our former manager carlo ancelotti as well as other members of staff at the football club. our condolences and sympathies go out to mark's wife laura and his four children." it is interesting, just a simple thing like a phone call, chat, just a bit of time that you can spend with carlo ancelotti, it was just brilliant for him and his family. he was a brilliant for him and his family. h9: was a top man. holly is looking at the tennis and there is tennis. there is actual tennis. this is a grandson has been overshadowed by novak djokovic and it is they say most of the tennis journalist in melbourne will be feeling like it is the end than the beginning but he has left australia, he is on his way back to belgrade but it is tennis' loss. the world number one will not be encore in action but we do get to see plenty of the biggest stars in tennis who will be in action over the next two weeks. disappointment for cameron norrie — he's been knocked out in the first round. the british men's number one — who was seeded 12th — lost in straight sets to american rising star sebastian korda. but a winning start for the defending women's champion, japan's naomi osaka. she beat camila osorio to go through to the second round. six more brits, led by emma raducanu and andy murray, play tomorrow. another premier league weekend and another managerial casualty — this was not too surprising, rafa benitez who was sacked yesterday after less than seven months in charge at everton. it comes after their 2—1 defeat at strugglers norwich city. there were angry scenes from travelling fans. everton have lost nine of their past 12 premier league games, sinking from fourth in the table to 16th. after he was sacked, he said he didn't realise the magnitude of the task. having beaten south africa on saturday, england made it two wins out of two in netball�*s quad series yesterday with victory over new zealand. they came back from eight points down at london's copper box arena against the silver ferns, to win their second group game by 49 points to 46. they'll play australia in their final group game tomorrow. and ten years after first lifting the trophy, neil robertson has won his second masters championship. the australian beat england's barry hawkins by ten frames to four in the final at alexandra palace in london. he pockets a cheque for a quarter of a million pounds. i have been digging through the archives. it is ten years. look, thatis archives. it is ten years. look, that is the last time he won, with his son alexander. he was about two years old at the time and last night he had his daughter with him, he was also two years old, and his son alexander. he wasn't on top of the snooker table this time, a little more grown—up. lovely to see. that is a great family photo to add to the collection.— family photo to add to the collection. :, :. :, :, collection. that can go on the toilet wall. _ collection. that can go on the toilet wall. what?! _ collection. that can go on the toilet wall. what?! what -
