small fishing village in the north—west highlands, the reason being the position of the high pressure. it is allowing this south—westerly flow to drive a little more clout across the top of the high, and that cloud is sitting there as we speak. so for the northern and western isles, it is not as sunny, but it is certainly milder. elsewhere, a bit of fairweather cloud, but a good deal of sunshine. but when we lose the sunshine, there is temperatures fall quite quickly. across central and eastern england, we could see fog forming, some of it freezing and dense as temperatures once again fall below freezing. look at the far north—west again. it's going to be a relatively mild start to your day. but some changes tomorrow. the fog will gradually lift. it will linger in a few spots, and that will have an impact on the temperatures. more cloud to the west and in the south—west of wales as we go through the afternoon, with a front bringing some rain erratically eastwards as we go through the afternoon as well. cold weather fog lingers, we go through the afternoon as well. cold weatherfog lingers, a bit madder to the west. those fronts are going to continue to push south, but just like yesterday, we had a lot of cloud but not much rain across england and wales. same story for tomorrow. behind it, quite a clearance. a north—westerly wind driving and cold air and that is turning those showers back to snow to higher ground. noticeably colder day for scotland on wednesday. double digits maybe in the south—west. by thursday, high pressure is sitting out in the atlantic. around that high, we have a northerly flow. cold are still potentially toward the end of the week. a widespread frost to greet us first thing on thursday morning, but it will be largely dry and once again, there will be lots of sunshine. with a bit more of a breeze, fog shouldn't be an issue but it will be cold on the exposed north sea coasts. a little more cloud to the west. sparkling clear skies by day and night. before i go, tonight is the first full moon of the year and because we have got those clear skies, you should be able to see some great shots out there. just before midnight. we will sta u- for there. just before midnight. we will stay up for it- _ a reminder of our top story... as investigations continue into malik faisal akram from blackburn who held four people captive in a synagogue in texas, two teenagers from manchester are questioned. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me , and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. now that novak djokovic has arrived in his home country of serbia after being deported, the attention in melbourne can finally turn to the australia open, which has begun without the former champion. the build—up to the event was dominated by djokovic's fight to stay and compete after his visa was cancelled due to his vaccination status. he arrived in dubai this morning after being deported and has landed in belgrade. so, to british interest at the tournament and disappointment for cameron norrie, who'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. the 26—year—old looked a shadow of the player who enjoyed a steady rise up the rankings in 2021. he lost in straight sets 6—3, 6—0, 6—4. down six more british players, led by emma raducanu and andy murray, are in action tomorrow. no such trouble for rafael nadal, though. the spaniard's bid for a men's record 21st grand slam title got underway with victory over marcos giron. the sixth seed — the only former champion left in the men's draw — beat american giron 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. nadal is making his return to grand slam tennis after five—months out with a foot injury. also a winning start for the defending women's champion, japan's naomi osaka. she beat camila osorio to go through to the second round. number one seed and home favourite ashleigh barty is also through. she comfortably defeated ukraine's lesia tsurenko 6—0, 6—1. barty could face osaka in the fourth round. the search for a new manager at goodison park has begun in earnest. rafa benitez was sacked yesterday after fewer than seven months in charge. wayne rooney, graham potter and former boss roberto martinez have all been linked with the job. benitez�*s dismissal came after everton's 2—1 defeat at strugglers norwich city, prompting angry scenes from travelling fans. everton have lost nine of their previous 12 premier league games, sinking from fourth in the table to sixteenth. after a bitterly disappointing ashes tour in australia, england head coach chris silverwood says the packed schedule and lack of time to prepare impacted their performance. it comes after australia won the series 4—0, despite the humiliating loss, captainjoe root wants to stay on, which silverwood says it the right decision. the schedule as mad as well, if you look at how close the test matches we played, we had no opportunity to play any first—class games in between. it's all been compounded, and so potentially, the schedule needs to ease off a little bit as well and give these guys some breathing space to actually keep them fit to perform. more details of that interview on the bbc sport website. the international olympic committee has announced that tickets will not go on general sale in china for the winter olympics or paralympics. instead, the ioc will invite groups of selected spectators as part of an adapted programme to ensure the safety of athletes during the pandemic. it had already been decided that fans from outside of the country would not be sold tickets, now the general chinese public will not be permitted to buy them. just before we go... you might remember the former tottenham player christian eriksen, who dramatically collapsed with heart failure during his country denmark's match against finland in the euros. he had to have a defibrillator implanted. well, he has been speaking to premier league side brentford about the possibility of signing with them to come back to play the game in england. more on the bbc sport website. that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. more now on the teenagers who've been arrested in manchester as part of the

of tonga following the eruption of an underwater volcano and subsequent tsunami. tongan national anna jane lagi is a student on nearby fiji. she's been telling tim willcox that ash from the volcano has enveloped the tongan mainland. one of the descriptions that had come was that you could sink almost your hand, whole hand into how thick the layer of ash is, so we have to wear masks to keep safe because the air is not good. the water systems are contaminated, so everyone has to stock up on water which is not something they would normally do since we collect and boil rainwater. as well as the vulnerable groups and just people whose houses were ruined, because the western side of the island was heavily damaged, that it is a few of the pressing issues for now. how many people are affected? so there has yet to be a full assessment of the whole island, and notjust the main island but the outer islands as well, but i would have to say that everyone is affected. even if, let's say, the water didn't reach where they are staying, just the environment they are in right now, even though there are no reported casualties yet, just because we count them safe, they are not particularly in any safe environment at the moment. and are aid agencies getting in in the right volume? they are. i would believe it is actually quite fast first off and i understand that there is aid coming from australia and new zealand and that there is an assessment to see how much aid we will need, but i will also have to add in the tongan communities outside of tonga that are moving with their own gofundme pages and collecting things that they may need and are getting ready to send it themselves. because i presume the clean—up, the clear up operation is going to take many months and certain livelihoods will have been destroyed. definitely. they have started cleaning up. even though stores have to open for everyone to restock and everything, no one is working other than essential workers. everyone else has been advised to stay home and try and clean up as much as they can, carefully and with protection because of the air, but they are advised to clean up as much as they can. though we have all gone through the clean—ups after a cyclone, this is definitely a little different. hopefully it won't take as long as a few months but then again, tonga is known to be full of resilient people so we are hoping that they will push through on this and it will come through nicely. student anna anne lagi, talking to us earlier. there's been a significant increase in the number of fatal collisions on uk roads. a bbc panorama investigation has found that 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 a0 years, 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. but 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 3a of the 44 police forces. they had 5,000 dedicated traffic officers in 2016. but 757 officers have been lost in just five years. that's a fall of 15%. the police watchdog is concerned. there are some police forces that have got negligible presence on the road. that has happened because, in general, it's been given a low priority. you have a scenario where the fatality rate has risen for the first time in a0 years. yeah. is that because there are fewer police officers out there? yeah, we think so. 1,600 people die on uk roads every year. the police say roads policing remains a priority. but panorama found key methods of catching offenders have been reduced. in the last decade, the number of breathalyser tests have been cut by more than 50%. and freedom of information responses from 26 forces reveal almost half of their fixed speed cameras are not switched on. if there's less chance of being caught, some drivers, and i say some, will take those risks. they will be reckless, they will speed, they will cause deaths. the government says our roads are among the safest in the world. they add that deployment of resources is a matter for individual police forces. but it's 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. a 29—year—old man from london has been receiving thousands of messages from women all over the world, to his billboard ad to help him find a wife. muhammad malik has advertised himself on hoardings across london, birmingham and manchester. hi, i'm malik. you might have seen my face on a billboard somewhere. i'm an entrepreneur, and i am religious. i am looking for someone who is working on her din. i am open to any ethnicity. if you're interested, fill out the form or check out my details. 29—year—old muhammad malik from hounslow in west london decided to advertise himself on billboards in a quest to find a wife. malik decided to take this unconventional approach after years of struggling to find a life partner through other methods, including dating apps. the kernel of an idea was presented to me by a friend who i know in marketing. and it was me kind of complaining about, man, you know, i'm doing so many things, i'm so busy with work, with a side hustle, with hobbies. on top of that, events are closing because of the pandemic, right? so how can you get out there? the conversation led to something quite extreme, literally getting yourself out there, oldschool billboards, and the billboards are dotted around manchester, birmingham and london, in particular those areas with more ethnic minorities. hey, i'm malik and that's my billboard. why do you have a problem with arranged marriages? i am definitely not against arranged marriages. if anything, i think the evidence and the research goes to show this is probably one of the best ways to find a spouse, because you go beyond face value, to real values. but i thought, you know what, let's try this route. if not, i'm definitely not against going through the good old grapevine. so far, malik has received over 1,000 messages from women and his story has travelled all over the world. i'm getting messages from tanzania, america, overseas. it's phenomenal. friends and people who know me really well have said to me, mate, what is going on? this is absolutely... you were playing football with us the other day, just chilling, and now you are being spoken about on forums, you're being spoken about on news channels and stuff like that. the 29—year—old has been following in his dad's footsteps, who also did something similar when he was searching for a wife. this is going back 30—odd years, somebody mentioned there is an urdu paper, you don't have to worry about it, just put it in the paper and get some response. and i did that. and that is how i got married. so it runs in the family, i suppose. how are you going to filter these messages, and how are you going to find the one? i've got a spreadsheet and i am going through with all of the messages that have come through. so, whittling it down initially with questions. i've got some personality questions. like, what type of person are you in this scenario? and then getting it to the next stage, which is kind of skype calls, zoom calls with the person and their family as well. imagine being on a spreadsheet! one of the most decorated african—american military pilots, charles mcgee, has died at the age of 102. he was an original member of the tuskegee airmen, an all—black us air force unit formed during the second world war, charles mcgee flew 409 combat missions spanning world war two, and the korean and vietnam conflicts. he also fought passionately against segregation in the us military. many believe the sacrifices of black service members, including the tuskegee airmen, helped lay ground for the civil rights breakthroughs of the 1950s and �*60s. being brought up, you know, as they were, african—american, or black, but we're american. and the country was at war. we were just as interested in supporting that effort as anyone else at that time. and so we turned our back on the fact that there was segregation, if you will, took advantage of the opportunity to prove that we can fly aeroplanes, we can maintain aeroplanes, and we can do whatever our education and aspirations, where those things lead us. charles mcghee, who has died at 102. now it's time for across the uk. 16— and 17—year—olds can get covid booster jabs from today in the latest phase of the vaccine roll—out. there's also a big push to increase the vaccination rate amongst ethnic minorities in manchester, as the city has one of the lowest take—up rates in the country. mairead smyth has been at the etihad vaccination centre. good afternoon. this centre was one of the first to offer vaccinations in the north—westjust over a year ago. this is one of the pods that has dealt with more than 400,000 people. karen has been based here for that whole time. you are the lead nurse here, it's been a busy old year, hasn't it? it's been a really busy year, yeah, really busy. we have seen, like you said, over 400,000 people through for the first, second and booster vaccinations. from today, 16 and 17—year—olds in the north—west can get their booster. they don't have to be clinically vulnerable. what impact will that have? it's brilliant. the more people come through the better, we know that. the fact they can come and have a walk—in, they don't have to book, you know, it's another part of the population that is vaccinated, isn't it? so they can come and get their booster, that's brilliant news. in the north—west there is still a big issue there with ethnic minorities, a low uptake in the vaccination. what reassurance can you give? i think we can give a lot of reassurance here on site. if people are vaccine hesitant there are lots and lots of people to talk to, there are loads of skills here. we have got a pharmacist on site every day as well as clinical leads. if anybody has any queries, any questions, they can always be answered. so if they are concerned, please come here and we can try and allay those fears. so changes to that booster programme, inviting 16 and 17—year—olds, but if you haven't had your first, second or your boosterjab, you are always welcome to come along and have it. back to you. a growing demand for water in london and the southeast has led to plans being drawn up to avoid people facing a shortfall. these plans include piping water down from the midlands. the shortage could be just a few years away, which is why solutions are being looked at. here's our environment correspondent tom edwards. this is a rare chalk stream, and from here, water companies take their supplies. the aim is to stop that in the future. campaigners hope it will happen. that in the future. campaigners hope it will happen-— it will happen. they are our kind of rainforest that _ it will happen. they are our kind of rainforest

important that we look at chalk streams and trying to re—naturalise the flows of chalk streams as best we can. as well as streams and rivers in london and the south—east, water comes from underground aquifers and reservoirs. across the south—east at the moment, we use 6 billion litres a day. by 2060, with population growth, we could need an extra 2.6 billion litres. climate change and more frequent droughts means supply needs to be made more resilient. today, consultation outlined how. the first thing is the leakage, but also to— the first thing is the leakage, but also to help

likelihood is that we will see rises in bills, but the amount of investment that the south—east is of the order of 8 billion over the next 15 years, potentially up to 16 billion up to 2060. so there was an issue of investment needed and how that money will be raised. . , raised. clearly we need infrastructure - raised. clearly we need l infrastructure investment raised. clearly we need -

look at the weather with louise lear. hello. a settled week of weather lies ahead with a cold and at times frosting and foggy one. it led to a stunning start for many this morning with hardly a cloud in the sky, but quite a significant frost out there. the exception was the far north west, because although high pressure is keeping things quiet, a few more isobars across the top of that high means a little more cloud for the northern isles in general today. more cloud into the north of england and north west midlands at times but a dry, subtle story, and temperatures will recover, ranging from 7—10 as we go through the afternoon. we keep those clear skies through the night and fog is likely to reform once again with light winds across central and eastern england. some of it is dense and freezing in places, as temperatures fall below freezing. the exception again out towards the west, particularly the north—west of scotland. but there is a weather front that will gradually push on. winds will strengthen, gust of gale force are likely we will see some rain toppling across that hi somewhat erratically through the day. the fog will readily left as we go through the morning, slowly and surely for most of us. if it lingers on one or two spots, that could have an impact on the feel of the weather. that wet weather sitting out of the west of scotland, gradually moving erratically eastwards, so that is the story as we get through tuesday. those weather fronts still have to sink south as we move through the day on wednesday. weakening to a band of cloud and drizzle, just like we had on sunday afternoon across england and wales, but it will clear, and then quite a clearance behind with a cold, northerly wind, sunny spells and scattered showers, with the risk of them turning wintry to higher ground as they fall away. a cool afternoon for scotland on wednesday. highest values further south of 10 degrees. high pressure sits out in the atlantic. winds swinging round to a northerly direction, so a cooler start on thursday. colder still for many. chilly start to thursday morning. should widespread frost across the country, but largely fine. the strongest winds moving down through the north sea. they could have an impact and will make it feel cool, particularly on exposed east coasts. that's it. take care. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at
