a woman who was kidnapped as a toddler, finally meets one of the men who saved her life. plus, the grey will clear to more sunshine this morning. the flip side is strong winds and heavy rain spreading to scotland and northern ireland later. good morning. it's wednesday, the 26th of january. the official inquiry into gatherings at downing street and in whitehall during lockdown is believed to be complete — and could be submitted to number 10 within hours. it's understood the senior civil servant, sue gray, has evidence, including photographs and whatsapp messages, and is keen for the report to be published in full. here's our political correspondent, ione wells. can the prime minister bounce back from this? reporters shout questions. for many tory mps, their answer depends on what's in sue gray's reports into parties that took place behind these doors, and across whitehall, during coronavirus restrictions. yesterday, confirmation some evidence she has found was enough to warrant a police investigation. i can confirm that the met is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and whitehall in the last two years. previously, the police had said they don't tend to use resources to investigate retrospective breaches of covid rules. so why now? cressida dick said there were three key factors. evidence those involved knew, or ought to have known, what they were doing was an offence. not investigating would significantly undermine the legitimacy of the law. and where there was little ambiguity around the absence of any reasonable defence. the prime minister welcomed the police investigation. i believe this will help to give the public the clarity it needs and help to draw a line under matters. but as a police investigation into government parties opens, the bbc understands the civil servant sue gray's is now complete. after it gets sent to number 10, opposition parties want it published in full. we already know that she's concluded that there's evidence of potential criminal offences. that's why she's passed it to the metropolitan police. so we know that much already. we already know the metropolitan police have decided that it's serious enough and flagrant enough for them to investigate. number 10 hadn't received the report last night, but the prime minister is due to give a statement in the house of commons after they do. with speculation mounting over timings of this, opposition parties raised concerns they would not get enough notice to digest the report before he does. the government will behave entirely properly in terms of any statement, and the usual courtesies that are extended to the opposition. two weeks ago, you told us on newsnight that borisjohnson enjoyed the unanimous support of his cabinet. can you put your hand on your heart and say that's the case tonight? do you wish me to? yes. the backing of other tory mps, though, is still in question. while some spent yesterday trying to shore up support for the prime minister, others feel sue gray's report may give them the cover they need to call for him to go. ione wells, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. this is all bubbling away and we are still awaiting that report, aren't we? ., , we? today could be the day, the day that we all get _ we? today could be the day, the day

foreign secretary liz truss at around 7:30. there have been unprecedented levels of covid in england this month, according to one of the country's largest infection studies. research from react suggests one in 23 people had the virus in the first three weeks of january. two thirds of them said they'd already had covid before. our health correspondent anna collinson reports. the rapid emergence of the omicron variant at the end of last year saw coronavirus rocket. now scientists behind one of england's largest infection studies say the start of 2022 has seen unprecedented levels of covid. the react study collected more than 100,000 swabs from volunteers during the first couple of weeks in january. its findings suggest around one in 23 people in england would have tested positive for covid at that time — the highest rate ever recorded. researchers also found around two in three people, or 65%, who had recently been infected said they had already had coronavirus before. it seems certain groups may be more at risk of this happening, including key workers and those who live with children or in larger households. but more work is needed to understand how many of the cases in this study were true re—infections. we find in our data that people who self—report having previously had covid—i9, or had the infection, there is a high proportion of those who test positive in our study, which might reflect the fact that they are more likely to be the types of people who are meeting other people who might get infected. coronavirus infections have slowed recently, but are still high, particularly amongst children and younger teenagers. as measures are gradually eased across the uk, health officials say vaccination remains the best form of protection. anna collinson, bbc news. president biden's said he's prepared to impose sanctions directly on vladimir putin, if russia invades ukraine. moscow has accused the us of escalating tensions over the issue, but more than

the us coast guard says no one was wearing a life jacket. northern ireland will ease a number of its coronavirus restrictions today, meaning nightclubs will re—open and concerts will be allowed to take place. proof of covid status will no longer be legally required in restaurants and bars, but the system will remain in place for nightclubs and certain indoor events. people are still being advised to work from home where possible. sir eltonjohn has been forced to postpone two of his concerts in america, after recently testing positive for coronavirus. the 74—year—old is fully vaccinated and boosted, and is currently experiencing only mild symptoms, according to a post on his social media. he has apologised but assured fans they would be contacted once new dates had been announced. i

all well. it is going to be a day of change. for some it has been grey and gloomy. a better chance of some of that gloom breaking up today. a bit more sunshine. stilla breaking up today. a bit more sunshine. still a fair breaking up today. a bit more sunshine. stilla fairamount breaking up today. a bit more sunshine. still a fair amount of cloud. the flip side will be later in the day, scotland and northern ireland especially, where we see rain and winds. a few splashes of rain and winds. a few splashes of rain this morning in western scotland. but most places dry. it is not until later that rain spreads in. as the breeze picks up. you notice that cloud will break more readily. some sunny spells. with those winds coming in from a south—westerly direction, it is going to feel milder. the winds not desperately strong in the southern half the country. only ten to 20 mph. the further north we get the stronger the winds. with the rain this evening edging into the north of northern ireland, north of glasgow. heavy rain in the southern highlands. winds a0 to 50 mph in the west. clear in shetland we could see 60 to 70 mile per argos. that could lead to some travel disruption and damage. it is pushing the rain southwards tonight. most of it... good part of england will stay dry. cooler tonight than the nightjust gone. as we go into thursday, more sunshine. cloud lasted longest in the south. rain times on friday and saturday in the north and west. for the start of the weekend looking especially mad. more details later. tomorrow is holocaust memorial day, when the world commemorates the 77th anniversary of the liberation of aushwitz, and remembers the millions of people murdered by the nazi regime. alina peretti was captured by the nazis as a child, and witnessed those final days in auschwitz before being freed. she's never spoken about her experience before. but after she was diagnosed with dementia, her son encouraged her to tell her story, before it's too late. graham satchell has been to meet them. this is a great one, this one. yeah. that's my mother, brother. and he's cossacks. alina peretti, now in her 90s, has had the most remarkable life. but like many of her generation she was reluctant to talk about her past. that's quite a rare photo, isn't it, of your mum and your...? brother. yeah. alina's sonjack is an investigative reporter. it was sort of the biggest story i'd ever come across, and yet it was lying right in front of me and i'd never bothered to investigate it. and then, my mum was diagnosed with dementia. and so we started — we started. ijust got my phone out, pressed �*record' and started talking to my mum, and it alljust came flooding out. september 1939, and germany invaded poland, the start of the second world war. in the chaos that followed, families became separated, flung to all corners of europe and beyond. this is alina with her parents. her dad michael, part of the polish resistance, ended up in london. alina, with her mother olga, was deported to a labour camp in siberia. i didn't feel... ..frightened. i think it was an adventure. alina's mother was determined to get back to poland to find her other children, a girl and two boys, stuck in occupied warsaw. she paid smugglers to get them back. and she was saying, if we are going to die, we die together. it was... ..it was her decision. warsaw was a devastated city, invaded, bombed, occupied by the germans. alina was reunited with her siblings, but now faced the full horror of war at first hand. they were hanging people on the streets for other people to see. they were drowning in horror. august 19aa, the warsaw uprising. for 63 days, the polish resistance fought their german occupiers street to street, house to house, but eventually resistance was put down. civilians were rounded up. alina, her mother and older sister were brought to a courtyard to face a firing squad. you had people lying down dead, and you have us standing up waiting when they are going to turn gun in our direction. there is not one day that i don't think about it. every day this image comes to me. every day. alina, her mother and sister were put on a train to auschwitz. they were questioned by a german officer. it would be the last time alina saw her sister alive. he ask who speak german. and my mother said, "my daughter does." she shouldn't have opened her mouth. it is still difficult to fully comprehend exactly what happened at auschwitz. more than a million people were killed. almost all were jews. but some 13,000 ethnic poles were also transported to the camp after the warsaw uprising. you know, death was around us, so we were not surprised to see somebody being killed. by the time alina arrived at auschwitz at the end of 19aa, the mass killings had stopped. the camp was being dismantled. but medical experiments were still happening. alina was given a series of injections. i asked them what the injections were for and you are in a camp, you are in a situation of illness, there are a lot of people, we have to protect you. so, you know, iwent willing to have one, to be protected, you know. the injections were actually part of a mass sterilisation programme, a failed attempt to makejews and ethnic poles infertile. the doctor who infected alina called her his "little bird". it is the title of alina and jacques' book. tomorrow is holocaust memorial day. 77 years since auschwitz was liberated. well, i think it's important that we remember to do anything, so it doesn't happen again, to prevent it happening. you just said, you know, bloody hell, you know, i'm very lucky that i came out of it _ you know. it's unbelievable, you know, when you find out, actually, that we survived. what a story. incredible lady. we'll be talking to more survivors during holocaust memorial day tomorrow. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. and they all lead on the same story. "johnson faces police interview over parties" is the times headline. the paper also claims that photographs of downing street parties have been handed to sue gray — the senior civil servant in charge of the internal investigation — with some pictures said to include the prime minister. the mirror has the same line about photographs of borisjohnson allegedly attending parties, along with the headline, number�*s up, pm". the metro has gone for a pun — "you've had your parties, now here's the bill". and the mail makes it clear that it would rather be reporting on the tensions between russia and ukraine than police investigations over parties, describing the uk as a nation that has "lost all sense of proportion". remember we were talking about that eltonjohn story? that remember we were

decade. however, thejourney has been far from smooth so far. ben's in crewe for us this morning. that is not b for ben, is it? yes, it is! well, iwish that is not b for ben, is it? yes, it is! well, i wish it was. not all of us can afford a £200,000 car when we need a new set of wheels. to be honest, i don't trust myself even driving one a few metres. thanks for the left. i am going tojump out. welcome to crew, where we are on the production line. they are putting the final touches before these get sent out to customers. and this really is a british manufacturing success story. 11,206 cars made their way from this production line to people's driveways in 2020, despite the pandemic and a massive factory shutdown. last year they sold even more. if they are to keep that up though, bentley — like every car—maker in the country — is going to have to embrace electric. they already make a hybrid vehicle on site here, and there's a big announcement coming later at about half past seven. but first, let's look at the challenges that come with the electrification of the uk car market. when it comes to cars, the future is electric. the government brought forward a ban on the sale of new petrol or diesel vehicles to 2030. so are people responding? there's around a50, 500,000 fully electric cars on our roads out of a pool of about 32.5 million. there is a long way to go, but the progress is clear to see. sales soared last year. in fact, more electric cars were registered than in the previous five years combined. however, surveys show that while people say they intend to buy electric, they're often not following through in the showroom. but why? the cost up front of buying that vehicle, the charging infrastructure out and about that then supports ownership of that vehicle, and the range of the electric cars that are on offer. it's clear that the number of people purchasing electric vehicles is growing faster than the number of electric charging points that are being installed. that will change, and the investment is coming. but at the moment, there are concerns that it is keeping up. and of course, any concern is another reason for someone to just pause before they make the full commitment to an electric vehicle. another problem — uk car makers are not operating in top gear. high inflation, and a shortage of computer chips to power their new electric vehicles, is limiting demand and production. news last week of government support for an electric vehicle battery factory here in the uk was a welcome boost to an industry seriously worried about the supply chain. but big consumer and company hurdles have to be overcome before the electric future becomes a reality. let's dig into the detail of that. last year, 1.65 million new cars were registered in the uk. that's 28% down on pre—pandemic levels, and the second—worst figure in nearly three decades. lots of people could only afford second—hand cars because of the pandemic and the high rate of inflation. the only bright spot for the new car market was electric. registrations rose by 75%. that despite supply chain issues and a shortage of computer chips — modern cars use between 1,500 and 3,000 semiconductors, so a shortage matters. and while a quarter of us plan to buy an electric or hybrid vehicle in the next five years, there are big barriers around cost, battery range and infrastructure. it's that final point that seems to be the biggest issue right now. a new report today claims there's a postcode lottery, with people in the south paying a quarter more for public charging points. that's a problem, because people without driveways rely on those points, and they already come with a higher vat bill than charging at home. the cost is another big barrier. the government cut the maximum grant available last month to help people buying an electric car. when you look at the relative cost, that makes a difference. if you look at the top two best—selling new cars of last year, the number one — a vauxhall corsa — costs around £15,500, whereas the number two — the fully electric option, tesla's electric model three — costs nearly a3,000. i'm going to be speaking to the boss of bentley here at about 20 past eight, when i will bring you full details of their big announcement. if you have any questions, let me know. i am told i can't have one for free. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm sonja jessup. a coroner's report into the met�*s investigation into the serial killer stephen port — who targeted young gay men — has found that there were "basic failings" and there are still improvements to be made. the report found "assumptions and stereotyping may have detrimentally affected decision—making" and contributed to the failure to stop stephen port sooner. yesterday — ahead of the report being released — dame cressida dick apologised and said the force is not institutionally homophobic. a teenager is in a serious condition in hospital after being stabbed in a supermarket car park in north london. police found the 15—year—old after being called to the williamson road

look at the travel now. the dlr has minor delays between bank and canning town — some issues with the power supply, apparently. the northern line closed for works between moorgate and kennington. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. time for the weather now. hello, good morning. well, a few changes happening weather—wise across the capital today. now, it's been a while since we've seen some actual sunshine, but that could happen a bit later on this afternoon — that's also true for thursday afternoon, too. now, the area of high pressure that's kept us dry but also very grey and chilly over the last few days or so is moving south—eastwards, allowing a cold front to sink southwards over the next day or so, and that's going to introduce a bit more of a westerly wind, some milder air, and also some breaks in that cloud. but it is another cloudy, chilly start to this morning — temperatures hovering just above freezing, really. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day, then the westerly picks up — we'll see some breaks emerge, bit of brightness, bit of sunshine, perhaps — always best the further north you are. and some milder air coming through, temperatures are a bit higher today — eight degrees celsius for many. it's a bit breezier, too, remember. it will stay mostly dry overnight tonight as our weather front comes through. maybe a few spots of rain, certainly thickening cloud, but also some clear spells for a time, as well, and it's a milder start to the day on thursday. on thursday, a bit of a mixed picture — we've got some milder air, but it will turn colder, the cloud will break up, giving us some sunshine, and a brisk north—westerly wind through the afternoon. i'm back in half an hour — do check out our website for much more. now it's back to dan and sally — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. coming up on breakfast this morning... i just feel like everybody wants to know who they are, everybody wants to know who they're connected to. brothers and sisters separated by the care system — as a

robinson will be here to tell us morejust before 9.00. back to our top story now and, as we've been hearing, the official inquiry into gatherings at downing street and in whitehall during lockdown is now thought to be complete — and could be submitted to number 10 in the coming hours. yesterday, the metropolitan police said it was investigating whether coronavirus restrictions had been breached. here's ros atkin with a look at the story so far. in december, borisjohnson addressed the first reports of a christmas party in number ten. party in number10. all guidance was followed - completely during number 10. then, a week later, the prime minister said this. i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations - emerged that there was no party, and that... - and that no covid rules were broken. that same day, the metropolitan police put out a statement — it read... that was then. this is now. i can confirm that the met is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and whitehall in the last two years, in relation to potential breaches of covid—19 regulations. so why the shift? here's the explanation. as a result, firstly of the information provided by the cabinet office inquiry team, and secondly, my officers' own assessment... that's right — the police first decided not to investigate, but after receiving information from an investigation by the civil servant sue gray, the police now will investigate. and this is the prime minister's reaction. i welcome the met's decision i to conduct its own investigation because i believe this - will help to give the public the clarity it needs, - and help to draw a line under matters. also on tuesday, when mrjohnson's spokesperson was asked if he thinks he's broken the law, the reply was, "i think that's fair to say that he does not." it's also fair to say the opposition has already drawn some conclusions. potential criminality has been found in downing street. what a truly damning reflection on our nation's very highest office. and while mrjohnson's under sustained political attack, his supporters have rallied round. the leadership of boris johnson this country has had has been _ so brilliant that he has got usi through this incredibly difficult period, and he's got- all the big decisions right. that opinion is hotly contested, but the police are not concerned with leadership — brilliant or otherwise. they're concerned with whether crimes occurred in number 10. and while we digested their intervention, the fallout continued from itv news' report on monday. paul brand reported there had been a birthday event for borisjohnson in number 10 during the first lockdown — telling us up to 30 staff celebrated in the cabinet room, where carriejohnson surprised him with a cake. we were also told there was a chorus of happy birthday, and that those assembled are understood to have eaten picnic food from m&s. this was at a time when most indoor gatherings involving more than two people were banned. to which number 10 says, "mrjohnson was there for less than ten minutes." and this is the transport secretary, grant shapps. this is in a workplace with a bunch of people all working together all of the time, who decide to give the prime minister a birthday cake on his birthday. itv news also quotes mr shapps saying, "a cake being introduced is wrong," all of which raises lots of questions — a number of which i'm not sure any of us ever expected to be asking. here's paul brand, who broke the story, tweeting, "does a cake make a party? does singing happy birthday qualify as a party?" in isolation, these questions seem absurd, but they're relevant because of the rules at the time. this man broke them, and was punished. all those that were there need to be named and shamed, as we were shamed — we were made to accept our responsibilities — and it's time to get this done once and for all. no more cover—ups. number 10 denies there's any cover—up. it denies rules were broken. and one conservative mp has raised this concern. when europe stands on the brink of war and there is a cost—of—living crisis, can we please have a sense of proportion over the prime minister being given... ..being given a piece of cake in his own office by his own staff? that's a reference to the build—up of russian troops on ukraine's border, to which the prime minister turned earlier. we will not reopen that divide - by agreeing to overturn the european security order because russia has placed a gun to ukraine's head. . and so, while mrjohnson and other western leaders face down russia, the prime minister and his colleagues also face questions about what happened in number 10 — questions from the press, questions from sue gray, and now questions from the police. we're joined now by sir peter fahy, the former chief constable of greater manchester police, and by jack blanchard, the uk political editor of politico. good morning to you both. i am interested to know, sir peter fahy, i know it is a really important day, we are expecting perhaps thing is to move a bit today but i'm curious to know from your own

day game, so very well supported. a club with an extraordinary tradition, one of the first 12 for clubs to set up the game of football in england, way backin game of football in england, way back in 1884 and that date is on the badge. look at the pitch, immaculate this morning. drama should be taking place out there that what we have seenin place out there that what we have seen in derby for the last couple of weeks, months, is that there is way too much drama off the pitch. this is how fans are taking it. half a century ago, playing under one of football's biggest names, derby county were crowned the best team in the land. they won the league again three years later in 1975, but that was the last of the highs. now the club is in administration, at a new low. but, despite its woes, it has a very large and a very loyal fan base. derby's my team! local club — you've got to support your local club. i don't know whether it was the roar of the crowd or the stadium or the white shirts. i wasjust... i wasjust in love. my grandparents supported derby, my mum's from derby, _ so i sort of got that sort of passed down to me — jatindahjalport has supported the rams since 1969. a season ticket—holder for decades, he's passed his passion onto his two sons, and never misses a match. like many in the city, he worked at the aircraft engine makers rolls—royce, and remembers how that win in '72 provided hope in the town that was hit hard when its major employer went bankrupt the year before. after rolls—royce collapsed, the whole of derby was like... it was, you know, there was...doom and gloom, you know? but after winning the league, it sort of galvanised the whole community, and it sort of brought derby back up again because they sort of won the league and then, obviously, a lot of the economy sort of grew again, just from the football itself. actually it changed the whole town, the whole city. cut them and they bleed black and white — andy's granddad inspired his love of derby. and when andy and his family moved to somerset, their hearts remained with the rams. towards the end of my grandpa's time watching derby county, unfortunately, he had alzheimer's — it slowly stopped him going. but i remember one of the last games i watched with him was actually robbie savage's last game — and for his last game, he walked out his elderly dad onto the pitch, who was also suffering with alzheimer's. and there was something really special about that moment in a way — kind of football transcending something a little bit and being a kind of connection there that you don't seem to really always get, and it was a really powerful moment. you hear that a lot here — that this is a community club, a family club. jack hasler�*s another life—long fan — first introduced to the rams by his granddad. when he graduated from the university of derby, guess where his photo was taken? i was actually telling my girlfriend the other day, like, she was saying, "oh, if derby go, can't you just support someone else?" and i was like, you can't, like... when you support a club your whole life, to sort of go and then support someone else — it doesn't feel right, like, it would never feel the same. like, i've always wanted to, like, pass supporting derby, like, onto my kids in the future sort of thing, and be able to experience, like, going to games with my kids and, like, pass on the memories i've had as a derby fan to them and, like, allow them to sort of create their own — like i had when i was younger. derby county's just days away from celebrating 138 years of football — a proud history. but the concern now is for the future, and for fans like jack and the generations of fans to come. let's hope jack gets to bring his children to the magnificent pride park in the years to come. we will talk to alison and jim, those lifelong fans, it's fair to say. when i met the two of you this morning i asked how you were both sort of looked up to the skies and went, well... iwill

the disappearance of a young girl in australia. cheryl grimmer vanished from a beach near sydney more than 50 years ago, and she was never seen again. the series is presented byjon kay — and in the latest episode he's uncovered the story of another girl — kathy wrethman, which has a much happier ending. let's take a look. june 1968... ..and kathy wrethman was safe. the toddler had been missing for three days — but she was found alone in new south wales, almost 20 miles from home. hi,jon! now a grandma, this is the first time kathy's ever spoken publicly about what happened. the person that took me didn't hurt me. the only thing kathy could tell her parents was that there was a man, and the only clue — whoever took herfrom the family home cut her hair. nobody was ever charged. i can't remember a lot. i can only remember a dog, and a room — being in a room. someone coming in and opening this door and saying, "go to sleep." i do remember that, and the dog under my bed. it was a big dog — i think it was an alsatian. what's it like for you now — even now — not really knowing where you were and who you were with during those few days? it's mind—boggling. i came across kathy's story while investigating the disappearance of another child in australia for the bbc podcast series fairy meadow. cheryl grimmer vanished from fairy meadow beach two years later. she has never been found. now, the cases of cheryl and kathy have never been officially linked — and maybe there is no connection — but the similarities are striking. police think both girls were abducted. they were both about the same age. they'd both arrived in australia from the uk and were living in migrant hostelsjust an hourapart. of course, ifeel like the luckiest lady in the world. kathy was found wandering in a creek by some school boys who were skipping lessons. she's convinced they saved her life, but she's never seen them since. just to say thank you. i mean, thank you wouldn't be enough for saving your life because what i've got now is my family, and i wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for them. i want to introduce you to somebody. who? who's that? hello! oh, my god. how are you? i'm good. long time, no see. this is mark. so mark byrne was one of those three boys who found you. we were wagging school, like, we weren't good boys at school, but...we had a good outcome that day! thank you so much for wagging school! i can't believe it! this is a dream. i've just wanted to thank you and... oh, my god. i just... thank you's not enough. this is how kathy's parents thanked the boys at the time. here's the watch. still got my dad's watch. wow! still engraved! it still works. i love you, and you're... you're always going to be my hero — you're always going to be my hero! five decades on, at least one mystery has been solved. john kay, bbc news. what an incredible story. so lucky those boys without. you what an incredible story. so lucky those boys without.— what an incredible story.

weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. a coroner's report into the met's investigation into the serial killer stephen port — who targeted young gay men — has found that there were basic failings, and there are still improvements to be made. the report found assumptions and stereotyping may have detrimentally affected decison—making and contributed to the failure to stop stephen port sooner. yesterday, ahead of the report being released, dame cressida dick apologised and said the force is not institutionally homophobic. a 14—year—old has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a teenager was stabbed in a supermarket car park in north london. the is—year—old victim is in a serious condition after being attacked outside a sainsbury�*s store in finsbury park on monday afternoon. as the cost of living rises, waltham forest council is encouraging vulnerable residents to apply for extra financial help. the authority's increased its household support fund by a quarter of a million pounds. residents can apply for up to £750,000 towards debt relief and food and transport bills. ikea's set to open a new london branch next month on the high street in hammersmith. the swedish furniture retailer is better known for its out of town warehouse stores, but they have had a high street branch before, in bromley which closed in 2020. it also plans to open a store at the former topshop site on oxford street next year. let's take a look at the travel now. the dlr has minor delays between bank and canning town. some issues with the power supply, apparently. the northern line closed for works between moorgate and kennington. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station. time for the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. well, a few changes happening weather—wise across the capital today. now, it's been a while since we've seen some actual sunshine, but that could happen a bit later on this afternoon — that's also true for thursday afternoon, too. now, the area of high pressure that's kept us dry but also very grey and chilly over the last few days or so is moving south—eastwards, allowing a cold front to sink southwards over the next day or so, and that's going to introduce a bit more of a westerly wind, some milder air, and also some breaks in that cloud. but it is another cloudy, chilly start to this morning — temperatures hovering just above freezing, really. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day, then the westerly picks up — we'll see some breaks emerge, bit of brightness, bit of sunshine, perhaps — always best the further north you are. and some milder air coming through, temperatures are a bit higher today — eight degrees celsius for many. it's a bit breezier, too, remember. it will stay mostly dry overnight tonight as our weather front comes through. maybe a few spots of rain, certainly thickening cloud, but also some clear spells for a time, as well, and it's a milder start to the day on thursday. on thursday, a bit of a mixed picture — we've got some milder air, but it will turn colder, the cloud will break up, giving us some sunshine, and a brisk north—westerly wind through the afternoon. lots more on our website, including an article by our transport correspondent tom edwards all about the crossrail project. it is getting closer to opening now, he's been taking a look. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today. the official inquiry into lockdown parties at downing street is believed to be complete, and could be released today. the uk and us threaten sanctions against russia, if president putin decides to invade ukraine. separated by the care system — we hear about the thousands of cared—for children who are split up from their brothers and sisters. good morning. roy's hodgson's back in the premier league. watford appoint the former england boss until the end of the season as they look to avoid relegation. and at last some of that greyness departs do something a bit brighter as we go through today across england and wales. the flip side is strong winds and heavy rain in parts of scotland and northern ireland. good morning. it's wednesday, the 26th of january. the official inquiry into gatherings at downing street and in whitehall during lockdown is believed to be complete — and could be submitted to number 10 within hours. it's understood the senior civil servant, sue gray, has evidence, including photographs and whatsapp messages, and wants the report to be published in full. here's our political correspondent, lone wells. can the prime minister bounce back from this? reporter: are you going to have to resign? - for many tory mps, their answer depends on what's in sue gray's reports into parties that took place behind these doors, and across whitehall, during coronavirus restrictions. yesterday, confirmation some evidence she has found was enough to warrant a police investigation. i can confirm that the met is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and whitehall in the last two years. previously, the police had said they don't tend to use resources to investigate retrospective breaches of covid rules. so why now? cressida dick said there were three key factors. evidence those involved knew, or ought to have known, what they were doing was an offence. not investigating would significantly undermine the legitimacy of the law. and where there was little ambiguity around the absence of any reasonable defence. the prime minister welcomed the police investigation. i believe this will help to give the public the clarity it needs and help to draw a line under matters. but as a police investigation into government parties opens, the bbc understands the civil servant sue gray's is now complete. after it gets sent to number 10, opposition parties want it published in full. we already know that she's concluded that there's evidence of potential criminal offences. that's why she's passed it to the metropolitan police. so we know that much already. we already know the metropolitan police have decided that it's serious enough and flagrant enough for them to investigate. number 10 hadn't received the report last night, but the prime minister is due to give a statement in the house of commons after they do. with speculation mounting over timings of this, opposition parties raised concerns they would not get enough notice to digest the report before he does. the government will behave entirely properly in terms of any statement, and the usual courtesies that are extended to the opposition. two weeks ago, you told us on newsnight that borisjohnson enjoyed the unanimous support of his cabinet. can you put your hand on your heart and say that's the case tonight? do you wish me to? yes. the backing of other tory mps, though, is still in question. while some spent yesterday trying to shore up support for the prime minister, others feel sue gray's report may give them the cover they need to call for him to go. lone wells, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. there are much bigger issues at play here but i guess much of today will be taken up with the practicalities of,

there have been unprecedented levels of covid in england this month, according to one of the country's largest infection studies. research from react suggests one in 23 people had the virus in the first three weeks of january. two thirds of them said they'd already had covid before. 0ur health correspondent anna collinson reports. the rapid emergence of the omicron variant at the end of last year saw coronavirus rocket. now scientists behind one of england's largest infection studies say the start of 2022 has seen unprecedented levels of covid. the react study collected more than 100,000 swabs from volunteers during the first couple of weeks in january. its findings suggest around one in 23 people in england would have tested positive for covid at that time — the highest rate ever recorded. researchers also found around two in three people, or 65%, who had recently been infected said they had already had coronavirus before. it seems certain groups may be more at risk of this happening, including key workers and those who live with children or in larger households. but more work is needed to understand how many of the cases in this study were true re—infections. we found in our data that people who self—report having previously had covid—i9, or had infection, there is a high proportion of those who test positive in our study, which might reflect the fact that they are more likely to be the types of people who are meeting other people and who might get infected. coronavirus infections have slowed recently, but are still high, particularly amongst children and younger teenagers. as measures are gradually eased across the uk, health officials say vaccination remains the best form of protection. anna collinson, bbc news. president biden's said he's prepared

terms with my own childhood — i get a message from a man on facebook, who tells me that he's my brother. it was completely crazy because...for a long time i thought that i was kind of isolated in terms of family, that i didn't have anyone. i've got a brother! like, that's life—changing. so many siblings in the system are estranged from relatives, and they're not getting the support that they need. sometimes siblings is all you've got left, and...if you take those away. it's taking the last thing away. the last bit of hope. yeah, yeah, yeah. the last bit of your identity. we're joined now

the capital today. now, it's been a while since we've seen some actual sunshine, but that could happen a bit later on this afternoon — that's also true for thursday afternoon, too. now, the area of high pressure that's kept us dry but also very grey and chilly over the last few days or so is moving south—eastwards, allowing a cold front to sink southwards over the next day or so, and that's going to introduce a bit more of a westerly wind, some milder air, and also some breaks in that cloud. but it is another cloudy, chilly start to this morning — temperatures hovering just above freezing, really. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day, then the westerly picks up — we'll see some breaks emerge, bit of brightness, bit of sunshine, perhaps — always best the further north you are. and some milder air coming through, temperatures are a bit higher today — eight degrees celsius for many. it's a bit breezier, too, remember. it will stay mostly dry overnight tonight as our weather front comes through. maybe a few spots of rain, certainly thickening cloud, but also some clear spells for a time, as well, and it's a milder start to the day on thursday. on thursday, a bit of a mixed picture — we've got some milder air, but it will turn colder, the cloud will break up, giving us some sunshine, and a brisk north—westerly wind through the afternoon. i'm back in an hour — do check out our website for much more. now it's back to dan and sally — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. it is wednesday morning. let's bring you the

againstjapan. they took the first set againstjapan's shingo kunieda and argentina's gustavo fernandez, but lost the second. it went into a match tie break, and then the players had to leave the court because of rain, with hewett and reid 5—4 up at the time. we had a bit of an agonising wait but they returned to the courts and tied up the victory10—7 in that tie—break. what an incredible result. britain's joe salisbury and american partner rajeev ram have reached their third consecutive australian open doubles semi—final, with victory over simone bolelli and fabio fognini. they've yet to drop a set and won 6—3, 6—2. in the women's singles draw, we now know the four semi—finalists. polish seventh seed and 2020 french open champion iga swiatek is through. she beat kaia kanepi in three sets. she'll face danielle collins in the semi—finals. the american is through to the last four for the second time in her career. the 27th seed beat france's alize cornet fairly comfortably in straight sets. roy hodgson's back in the premier league. he's now the man in charge at watford until the end of the season, after claudio ranieri was sacked earlier this week. this will be hodgson's 22nd job in management, in a career that spans 45 years. as our correspondent natalie pirks explains, he's seen as a safe pair of hands. he never ruled out a return to the game he loved, and now — even at 74 — it seems the lure of premier league management wasjust too strong for roy hodgson. watford put an end to the tenure of claudio ranieri afterjust 14 matches in charge. the club are currently 19th, and have lost seven of their last eight matches. hodgson's first match is a crunch game away to fellow strugglers burnley — but clarets boss sean dyche was once in the watford hot seat, and knows better than most about the owner's reputation for hiring and firing. hodgson is the 15th manager since gino pozzo and his family took over the club in 2012 — including a whirlwind 37—day spell in 2014 involving three managers. only gianfranco zola made it to 75 games. hodgson is regarded as a safe pair of hands for clubs in trouble. a huge stride towards premier league safety. the former england coach took over at palace from frank de boer in 2017 with the eagles rock bottom of the league. hodgson guided them to 11th that season, and they finished well clear of the drop zone in his next three seasons. he also already knows the pozzo family, having worked for them before during a brief spell at udinese. they sacked him afterjust17 matches — he'll be hoping history doesn't repeat itself. natalie pirks, bbc news. an investigation is under way into the tragic scenes in cameroon on monday, when eight people were killed in a crush outside the olembe stadium. a minute's silence was held before both games yesterday. now there's been another incident that's caused concern at the tournament. this was during senegal�*s 2—0 victory over cape verde, involving liverpool's sadio mane. he suffered a concussion after a nasty clash of heads with their keeper, who was subsequently sent off. mane actually appeared to be briefly knocked out. however, just ten minutes later, he scored senegal�*s first goal. but after celebrating he lay down and was led off the field, raising questions about concussion protocols at the tournament. well, mane had to go to hospital after the game. senegal manager aliou cisse said his "head was spinning and he felt faint". and mane later posted this picture on social media from his hospital bed, of himself and vozinha, the cape verde goalkeeper, saying that everything was well. so, senegal are through to the quarter finals — as are morocco, after a 2—1win over malawi. paris saint germain's achraf hakimi's free kick was the difference. morocco will meet either ivory coast or egypt in their quarterfinal. it's been a fairly dreary ashes series for england women so far. they lost the first t20 by nine wickets, and then the next two matches were abandoned because of rain. but later will see the start of the only test in the series. it begins at the manuka oval in canberra at 11 o'clock tonight. australia lead the multi—format series 4—2, so a victory for them will guarantee they retain the ashes as england would only be able to secure a draw. captain heather knight's been frustrated so far. just looking forward to getting into this ashes series, to be honest. it's obviously been a very strange one with that first game and then the other two rained off. but, yeah, they're so excited, we love playing test cricket and we've got the opportunity to get back in the series if we can be successful in this test. what a great position we'll be in — 6—4 going into those 0dis — and that's what we've got to look to try and do. just

terminal cancer, all she wanted was to be with her mum, marian. thankfully, after more than five months apart, she managed to do so. michelle has since died, but marian has been telling abbie walker about just how special that day was. i saw her a couple of days before she died, yeah. and she knew i was there. life is life, god knows just when he wants you — but god wanted her for a christmas present. michelle passed away on christmas day, after living with incurable cancer for more than two years. she was supposed to come to me on the saturday, but she didn't — she come on the sunday — and when she come, she was really, really going downhill. so that's when she went to the hospice at leicester, cos that's where she wanted to be. michelle lived in leicester, 100 miles away from her mum in cleethorpes. my mum is here today. look, there she is. well, we're very close. we were like that, michelle and i — we've always been. if she had an ache or a pain, iwould know. # happy birthday

fixing. look at that! woohoo! as soon as she improved and the lockdown went off, she was here! just perfect that day — it was beautiful. absolutely. couldn't have wished for a better day. and she was excited. yay, we did it! yeah, we have. but in december that same year, michelle was given just days to live. morning, everyone. she got up out of bed and she was trying to walk. i don't know how she had the energy. i just... she's just a fighter. she was so determined to live. yeah, cos she said she'd a lot to live for. happy sunday to everyone. michelle lived for another year, and hundreds of social—media videos meant her story reached thousands — with many people paying their respects online. thank you very much. it's been a great help to know that so many people think of our michelle, the nice person that she is. just want other people to know that it doesn't have to be doom and gloom. you can get up in the morning, you can put your make—up on and do your hair... well... she laughs. ..do your hair — do your hair when you've got some! but you can — you can make yourself feel good. really lovely to hear from michelle and her mum there. a, really lovely to hear from michelle

children across the uk have a bed to sleep in. the campaign was started a teacher who set up a charity to provide furniture for young people, after she discovered some of her pupils were sleeping on the floor. her organisation has already given out 1,600 beds to families in need. let's take a look. happy? happy. giggling. the sheerjoy of children finally having their own beds. this is the difference the charity zarach has been making in leeds. your school have sent us cos they said that you're fabulous. is that true? so the whole plan is that you going to be moving into your separate bedrooms. soto do that, you've got a brand—new bed and some pyjamas — all brand—new and all for you, ok? bex is a deputy head teacher who set up zarach when she discovered some of her pupils didn't have beds to sleep in. we've done two deliveries so far, and it's just been a joy. because it's a sunday, the children are all at home — they get to see their new beds being delivered. we took some drawers and bedside tables to a family, as well, that didn't have anything for their clothes — their clothes were just on the floor. er... just a lovely way to spend a sunday. the charity's now given out almost 1,600 beds in leeds and dewsbury. some of the children had been sleeping on floors, bean bags. otherfamilies had no carpets and furniture. in october, my five children were sleeping on air beds because we couldn't afford to get them beds. zarach brought each of them a new bed, bedding and pyjamas meaning that they had somewhere safe and nice to sleep. it's made such a difference to them. another day, another delivery to a child's home. schools across the uk are asking zarach for help for their families. now, bex has started a petition pushing for action from the government so that all children — wherever they live — simply have a bed to sleep in. emma glasbey, bbc news. bex wilson joins us now. good morning, bex. thank you for talking to us this morning. we spoke to you a

the platform you gave us allow us to join two _ up-to-date. the platform you gave us allow us to join two groups _ up-to-date. the platform you gave us allow us to join two groups of - allow us to join two groups of people. they have experienced a bed poverty in their day—to—day lives, whether as a teacher, social worker, and people thatjust didn't know that bed poverty existed. there is some information out there that has just been released around 27% of children not having a bed and lots of people realising that is just not good enough and also that we can do something about it. hopefully this petition will give that opportunity. joining those two groups of people that maybe didn't know how prevalent it was, and the people that see it every day has allowed us this platform that hopefully will see the petition spoken about in government. quite what has the response been so far to this petition? the response has been incredible. over 10,000 signatures injust one has been incredible. over 10,000 signatures in just one weekend was beyond our wildest dreams. getting the people in places of influence and power to recognise bed poverty and power to recognise bed poverty and take action against it has been something we felt since 2017. the pandemic has worsened the situation and the fact that there are so many people now talking about bed poverty, realising it is such an issue in our country, isjust incredible and once people are talking, once people are sharing that outrage and the passion we have to see something done about it, we are hopeful that we can make a difference to so many children's lives. i. . difference to so many children's lives. i, , i, i lives. that is the thing, once you discover something _ lives. that is the thing, once you discover

something like this and how many people are impacted, then you start campaigning and raising funds and getting people involved and you see the difference it makes it drives you want to do more. absolutely, absolutely. notjust the difference it makes to children and to their sleep, but to the family unit as a whole. the hope it gives to families and parents when they feel like they have met their child's basic needs, it allows them that space to look at their dreams for theirfamily beyond that space to look at their dreams for their family beyond just their basic needs, beyond food on the table and a bed to sleep in and we have stop it is more than a bed and. thank you very much indeed, bex wilson live from leeds this morning. what a brilliant scheme. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. the official inquiry into lockdown parties at downing street is believed to be complete, and could be

good morning. they've done it again — britain's alfie hewett and gordon reid win the wheelchair doubles final at the australian open — their ninth consecutive grand slam title. they should be a bit more sunshine in the days ahead. later today in scotland and northern ireland, get ready for it when he spell. —— a windy spell. good morning. it's wednesday, the 26th of january. the official inquiry into gatherings at downing street and in whitehall during lockdown is believed to be complete, and could be submitted to number 10 within hours. it's understood the senior civil servant, sue gray, has evidence including photographs and whatsapp messages, and wants the report to be published in full. here's our political correspondent, lone wells. can the prime minister bounce back from this? reporter: are you going to have to resign? - for many tory mps, their answer depends on what's in sue gray's reports into parties that took place behind these doors, and across whitehall, during coronavirus restrictions. yesterday, confirmation some evidence she has found was enough to warrant a police investigation. i can confirm that the met is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and whitehall in the last two years. previously, the police had said they don't tend to use resources to investigate retrospective breaches of covid rules. so why now? cressida dick said there were three key factors. evidence those involved knew, or ought to have known, what they were doing was an offence. not investigating would significantly undermine the legitimacy of the law. and where there was little ambiguity around the absence of any reasonable defence. the prime minister welcomed the police investigation. i believe this will help to give the public the clarity it needs and help to draw a line under matters. but as a police investigation into government parties opens, the bbc understands the civil servant sue gray's is now complete. after it gets sent to number 10, opposition parties want it published in full. we already know that she's concluded that there's evidence of potential criminal offences. that's why she's passed it to the metropolitan police. so we know that much already. we already know the metropolitan police have decided that it's serious enough and flagrant enough for them to investigate. number 10 hadn't received the report last night, but the prime minister is due to give a statement in the house of commons after they do. with speculation mounting over timings of this, opposition parties raised concerns they would not get enough notice to digest the report before he does. the government will behave entirely properly in terms of any statement, and the usual courtesies that are extended to the opposition. two weeks ago, you told us on newsnight that borisjohnson enjoyed the unanimous support of his cabinet. can you put your hand on your heart and say that's the case tonight? do you wish me to? yes. _ the backing of other tory mps, though, is still in question. while some spent yesterday trying to shore up support for the prime minister, others feel sue gray's report may give them the cover they need to call for him to go. lone wells, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. still no report yet, we understand at number 10, but we have been speaking to the foreign

one of the country's largest infection studies. research from react suggests one in 23 people had the virus in the first three weeks of january. two thirds of them said they'd already had covid before. our health correspondent anna collinson reports. the rapid emergence of the omicron variant at the end of last year saw coronavirus rocket. now scientists behind one of england's largest infection studies say the start of 2022 has seen unprecedented levels of covid. the react study collected more than 100,000 swabs from volunteers during the first couple of weeks in january. its findings suggest around one in 23 people in england would have tested positive for covid at that time — the highest rate ever recorded. researchers also found around two in three people, or 65%, who had recently been infected said they had already had coronavirus before. it seems certain groups may be more at risk of this happening, including key workers and those who live with children or in larger households. but more work is needed to understand how many of the cases in this study were true re—infections. we find in our data that people who self—report having previously had covid—19, or had the infection, there is a high proportion of those who test positive in our study, which might reflect the fact that they are more likely to be the types of people who are meeting other people and who might get infected. coronavirus infections have slowed recently, but are still high, particularly amongst children and younger teenagers. as measures are gradually eased across the uk, health officials say vaccination remains the best form of protection. anna collinson, bbc news. northern ireland will ease a number of its coronavirus restrictions today, meaning nightclubs will re—open and concerts will be allowed to take place. proof of covid status will no longer be legally required in restaurants and bars, but the system will remain in place for nightclubs and certain indoor events. people are still being advised to work from home where possible. rescue crews are searching the waters off florida's atlantic shore for 39 people reported missing in a suspecting human smuggling attempt. a survivor found clinging to a capsized boat raised the alarm, and told authorities the vessel had come from the bahamas. the us coast guard says no one was wearing a life jacket. sir eltonjohn has been forced to postpone two of his concerts in america after recently testing positive for coronavirus. the 74—year—old is fully vaccinated and boosted, and is currently experiencing only mild symptoms, according to a post on his social media. he has apologised but assured fans they would be contacted once new dates had been announced. and he is? still standing. it never nets old.

brighterskies showing signs of the cloud breaking up. brighter skies trying to break through in derbyshire. clear skies in england and wales over night, a touch of frost. more sunshine today, most will stay dry before wet and with the weather gathers in scotland and northern ireland later. already in the west of scotland some light rain or drizzle. most will stay dry. you can see the cloud breaking up. sunshine moving through. with the winds coming in from a south—westerly direction, it will feel milder particularly for england and wales, where it has been rather chilly. eight or 9 degrees possible. by chilly. eight or 9 degrees possible. by the end of the afternoon that breeze continues to pick up. windier than recent days in the south. across scotland and northern ireland rain edging into the north of northern ireland during rush hour. rain in the north of scotland died afternoon into early evening. the winds continue to strengthen. tonight we could see winds of 60 to 70 mph in orkney and shetland. that will help to push the cloud and rain further south. clearing skies in its wake. still a blustery day to start thursday. much more sunshine on thursday. much more sunshine on thursday. more cloud towards the end of the week. very mild on saturday. tomorrow is holocaust memorial day, when the world commemorates the 77th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz and remembers the millions of people murdered by the nazi regime. alina peretti was captured by the nazis as a child and witnessed those final days in auschwitz before being freed. she's never spoken about her experience before. but after she was diagnosed with dementia, her son encouraged her to tell her story, before it's too late. graham satchell has been to meet them. this is a great one, this one. yeah. that's my mother, brother. and he's cossacks. alina peretti, now in her 90s, has had the most remarkable life. but like many of her generation she was reluctant to talk about her past. that's quite a rare photo, isn't it, of your mum and your...? father. yeah. alina's sonjacques is an investigative reporter. it was sort of the biggest story i'd ever come across, and yet it was lying right in front of me and i'd never bothered to investigate it. and then, my mum was diagnosed with dementia. and so we started — we started. ijust got my phone out, pressed 'record' and started talking to my mum, and it alljust came flooding out. september 1939, and germany invades poland, the start of the second world war. in the chaos that followed, families became separated, flung to all corners of europe and beyond. this is alina with her parents. her dad michael, part of the polish resistance, ended up in london. alina, with her mother olga, was deported to a labour camp in siberia. i didn't feel... ..frightened. i think it was an adventure. alina's mother was determined to get back to poland to find her other children, a girl and two boys, stuck in occupied warsaw. she paid smugglers to get them back. she wanted to know what happened to them and _ she wanted to know what happened to them and she was very worried. she wanted _ them and she was very worried. she wanted to—

she was saying, if we are going to die. we die — she was saying, if we are going to die, we die together. it was... ..it was her decision. warsaw was a devastated city, invaded, bombed, occupied by the germans. alina was reunited with her siblings, but now faced the full horror of war at first hand. to be ina to be in a situation of occupation like we _ to be in a situation of occupation like we

tortured people, how they killed them on the street, you know. unbelievable. they were hanging people on the streets for other people to see. they were drowning in horror. august 1944, the warsaw uprising. for 63 days, the polish resistance fought their german occupiers street to street, house to house, but eventually resistance was put down. civilians were rounded up. alina, her mother and older sister were brought to a courtyard to face a firing squad. you had people lying down dead, and you have us standing up waiting when they are going to turn gun in our direction. i was looking at

is no one day that i— did not shoot us. there is no one day that i don't think about it. every day this image comes to me. every day. alina, her mother and sister were put on a train to auschwitz. they were questioned by a german officer. it would be the last time alina saw her sister alive. he ask who speak german. and my mother said, "my daughter does." she shouldn't have opened her mouth. and i thought she condemned her to death _ and i thought she condemned her to death. they separated us. we never have seen— death. they separated us. we never have seen her again. it is still difficult to fully comprehend exactly what happened at auschwitz. more than a million people were killed. almost all were jews. but some 13,000 ethnic poles were also transported to the camp after the warsaw uprising. death was everywhere. so we were sort of _ death was everywhere. so we were sort of accustomed to it, you know, because _ sort of accustomed to it, you know, because sometimes, you know, in the situation _ because sometimes, you know, in the situation when people some —— done something _ situation when people some —— done something wrong, the german would take a _ something wrong, the german would take a gun _ something wrong, the german would take a gun and shoot somebody, you know. _ you know, death was around us, so we were not surprised to see somebody being killed. and the jewish and thejewish story and the jewish story and and thejewish story and the polish story, and the story of the germans and every other nationality, were in that camp, is woven together. they all went through it. by the time alina arrived at auschwitz at the end of 1944, the mass killings had stopped. the camp was being dismantled. but medical experiments were still happening. alina was given a series of injections. i asked them what the injections were for and you are in a camp, you are in a situation of illness, there are a lot of people, we have to protect you. so, you know, iwent willing to have one, to be protected, you know. the injections were actually part of a mass sterilisation programme, a failed attempt to makejews and ethnic poles infertile. the doctor who infected alina called her his "little bird". it is the title of alina and jacques' book. tomorrow is holocaust memorial day. 77 years since auschwitz was liberated. well, i think it's important that we remember to do anything, so it doesn't happen again, to prevent it happening. you just said, you know, bloody hell, you know, i'm very lucky that i came out of it. _ you know. it's unbelievable, you know, when you find out, actually, that we survived. what an incredible story. just so powerfully told as well. incredible lad . we'll be talking to more survivors during holocaust memorial day tomorrow. we are looking at the issue of electric cars today. more people are switching over because the government's ban on the sale of diesel and petrol vehicles comes into play at the end of the decade. the journey has not been smooth so far. ben is in crewe. good morning. good morning. i managed to find a parking space for this one. unfortunately, not my car. not many of us can afford to shell out £200,000 for a new set of wheels. we are all being encouraged to make the switch to electric, or at least hybrid. we should look at the state of the uk car market at the moment. last year, 1.65 million new cars were sold. it sounds a lot but that is actually down 28% on pre—pandemic levels. it was actually the second worst figure for 30 years. but the bright spot for a new car makers is electric. the number of registrations of new electric cars rose by 75%. that is despite the pandemic and despite supply chain issues that we have seen. especially on the microchip front. new cars use about 3000 semiconductors, so a shortage of those really does matter. a quarter of us intend to buy a hybrid or electric car in the next five years. but there are some big hurdles around the upfront cost, round battery range and around the infrastructure. the last point is a big one. a report out today says the infrastructure is a problem. charging points, for example, are more expensive to use, public charging points in the south, than they are in the north. in the upfront cost. the government last month cut the grants to cover the upfront cost of a new vehicle. the vauxhall corsa, number one selling car last year, costing around £15,500. second most popular one, the tesla model three, fully electric, that will set you back about 43,000. almost three times as much. but the future is electric. bentley embracing that. they are very busy here. they have also announced their first fully electric model will be made right here in crewe. let's speak to adrian hallmark, the chairman and chief executive. are people ready to make that switch? taste executive. are people ready to make that switch?— executive. are people ready to make that switch? ~ i, i, i, i, that switch? we would not

a coroner's report into the met's investigation into the serial killer stephen port — who targeted young gay men — has found that there were basic failings and there are still improvements to be made. the report found assumptions and stereotyping may have detrimentally affected decision—making, and contributed to the failure to stop stephen port sooner. yesterday, ahead of the report being released, dame cressida dick apologised and said the force is not institutionally homophobic. a 14—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, after a teenager was stabbed in a supermarket car park in north london. the 15—year—old victim is in a serious condition in hospital, after being attacked outside a sainsbury�*s store in finsbury park on monday afternoon. as the cost of living rises, waltham forest council is encouraging vulnerable residents to apply for extra financial help. the authority's increased its household support fund by a quarter of a million pounds.

with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. well, a few changes happening weather—wise across the capital today. now, it's been a while since we've seen some actual sunshine, but that could happen a bit later on this afternoon — that's also true for thursday afternoon, too. now, the area of high pressure that's kept us dry but also very grey and chilly over the last few days or so is moving south—eastwards, allowing a cold front to sink southwards over the next day or so, and that's going to introduce a bit more of a westerly wind, some milder air, and also some breaks in that cloud. but it is another cloudy, chilly start to this morning — temperatures hovering just above freezing, really. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day, then the westerly picks up — we'll see some breaks emerge, bit of brightness, bit of sunshine, perhaps — always best the further north you are. and some milder air coming through, temperatures are a bit higher today — eight degrees celsius for many. it's a bit breezier, too, remember. it will stay mostly dry overnight tonight as our weather front comes through. maybe a few spots of rain, certainly thickening cloud, but also some clear spells for a time, as well, and it's a milder start to the day on thursday. on thursday, a bit of a mixed picture — we've got some milder air, but it will turn colder, the cloud will break up, giving us some sunshine, and a brisk north—westerly wind through the afternoon. i'm back in half an hour. do check out our website for much more. now it's back to dan and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. we'll be handing to morning live after the programme this morning so let's find out from gethin and kimberley what they've got coming up from gethin and

received it but we are aware there will be a quick turnaround when it does receive it into publication so it could be as quick as this afternoon but there is no guarantee of that. it could be pushed into tomorrow, the next day are probably after the weekend, which would allow tory mps the opportunity to go back to their constituents and pick up anger from members of the public, which will be bad for the prime minister. that increases the severity, the danger of the position of the prime minister next week.- of the position of the prime minister next week. that is the interesting _ minister

looked over and then they will make that decision based on may be their own thoughts and the thoughts they get from their constituency offices.— constituency offices. that's right. we know very _

number 10 has said it will accept but there will not be any sort of vedic to produce at the end of it. sue gray will not rule on whether the prime minster has broken rules or the civil service. that will be up to the two separate streams that exist. one is that civil service i, the hr process, that will kick in and the other side, the political side where ultimately it is up to the prime minister to decide whether there are any sanctions on himself and his staff, effectively acting as judge and jury so he will be under a lot of pressure to do as he said and take responsibility, all eyes of mps and the wider public will be on the findings of the report. harper and the wider public will be on the findings of the report.— and the wider public will be on the findings of the report. how much of

first started publishing these stories and people tell me at westminster, mps and others, officials, saying, this is a westminster bubble story, it is a year ago, westminster bubble story, it is a yearago, it westminster bubble story, it is a year ago, it won't get cut through and i was surprised as anybody by the impact it had. more revelations came to light, some revealed by us and some by other media organisations. it has built at this picture that i was told about the head of that first story, of multiple parties in number 10 and whitehall and i think that has shocked people. it has reopened up those old wounds people had, thinking about what they went through during lockdown, whether the first really severe one or last christmas that has kept it pertinent. i heard a lot of boris johnson defenders are saying it is just a party, just a birthday cake orjust just a party, just a birthday cake or just cheese and just a party, just a birthday cake orjust cheese and wine, this is not serious, not something to bring down the prime minister over and of course there are more serious issues oras course there are more serious issues or as serious issues when it comes to the cost of living crisis and the crisis in ukraine. at the point it gets to is about trust and if the prime minister and people around him set the rules, a lot of people who feel that they don't —— if they don't live by those rules themselves it destroys trust and to be an effective leader and prime minister you need the trust of the public, so thatis you need the trust of the public, so that is the big question. it is interesting _ that is the big question. it is interesting because - that is the big question. it is interesting because it would look at the correspondence we get on this programme it is half and half split between those who feel it is a really important question of trust and those who think it was a long time ago, let's move on. the daily mail claiming this morning it is a waste of effort for the police, pointing to the other things you mention, the cost of living crisis, the invasion of the ukraine but you seem to feel you are reading this situation correctly. i seem to feel you are reading this situation correctly.— seem to feel you are reading this situation correctly. i think people are slit situation correctly. i think people are split in _ situation correctly. i

split in the same way that. situation correctly. i think people | are split in the same way that the prime minister has still retained a lot of support on the backbenches and in the country more broadly, lots of people do want to move on from the pandemic and focus forwards, but there are enough tory mps telling me that they are concerned his credibility is shot and it is notjust about this one issue, it is the pattern we have seen with the government over the last couple of years, that they obfuscate or even deny to try to talk things out. it is their style. so this is not a new response and i think what a lot of people are frustrated by is that there wasn't ever a moment where the government but at the hands of the start and and tried to explain. a lot of people would have responded differently in terms of the reaction, had they done that. instead they sort of try... well, initially tried to deny it, people see that and don't feel very comfortable about that. there are lots of the issues going on at the moment, and of course the premise that dell has defenders who say you need to focus on the good things he had done and notjust at the bad but it goes to the heart of what a lot of people thought they knew about the man and ultimately you know what borisjohnson is like when you elected him but the mp5 have this transactional relationship with him and he is such a big election winner and he is such a big election winner an asset that it was worth backing him but there is no particularly widespread support for him on the tory backbenches. it was very transactional and what will be interesting going forward to the may elections, if you continue to limp onto that point, which i think you will, and if the conservatives have a really bad set of results, what then happens? suddenly the nature of that transactional relationship the pm has with his backbenchers changes. the electoral asset becomes potentially an electoral liability —— thank you very much it is potentially an electoral liability -- thank you very much it is good to talk to you- — 138 years of history. two—times champions of england, and fa cup winners in 1946. derby county has a rich history on the pitch but off it, the club's facing an uncertain future. since going into administration in september, fans have been anxiously waiting to find out if anyone will step up to save them. our reporterjohn maguire is at pride park this morning. you have been speaking to some of those fans who are genuinely and rightly concerned about the future. i think there is a dark cloud hanging over the city, so many people are very concerned about what will happen at this amazing club. this is the tunnel, the players' tunnel, the work of legends, they are reminded of the history of the club. mcfarland holding up the charity shield now community shield. jim smith, promotion to the premier league in 1986. these two, no other word for them, icons for the game. peter taylor and cloughy. peter shilton, wayne rooney, the current manager. we are derby, they are reminded as they come up, hair is standing on the backs of their necks, their necks, the height something and they come out to see the faithful at park theatre. 33,000 fans when it is full, it will be almost full on sunday for the next game. an incredible arena of sports and drama on the pitch, but unfortunately at the moment all the drama is taking place off the pitch. half a century ago, playing under one of football's biggest names, derby county were crowned the best team in the land. they won the league again three years later in 1975, but that was the last of the highs. now the club is in administration, at a new low. but, despite its woes, it has a very large and a very loyal fan base. derby's my team! local club — you've got to support your local club. i don't know whether it was the roar of the crowd or the stadium or the white shirts. i wasjust... i wasjust in love. my grandparents supported derby, my mum's from derby, _ so i sort of got that sort of passed down to me. — jatinderjalporte has supported the rams since 1969. a season ticket—holder for decades, he's passed his passion onto his two sons, and never misses a match. like many in the city, he worked at the aircraft engine makers rolls—royce, and remembers how that win in '72 provided hope in the town that was hit hard when its major employer went bankrupt the year before. after rolls—royce collapsed, the whole of derby was like... it was, you know, there was...doom and gloom, you know? but after winning the league, it sort of galvanised the whole community, and it sort of brought derby back up again because they sort of won the league and then, obviously, a lot of the economy sort of grew again, just from the football itself. actually it changed the whole town, the whole city. cut them and they bleed black and white — andy bowler�*s granddad inspired his love of derby. and when andy and his family moved to somerset, their hearts remained with the rams. towards the end of my grandpa's time watching derby county, unfortunately, he had alzheimer's — it slowly stopped him going. but i remember one of the last games i watched with him was actually robbie savage's last game — and for his last game, he walked out his elderly dad onto the pitch, who was also suffering with alzheimer's. and there was something really special about that moment in a way — kind of football transcending something a little bit and there being a kind of connection there that you don't seem to really always get, and it was a really powerful moment. you hear that a lot here — that this is a community club, a family club. jack hasler�*s another life—long fan — first introduced to the rams by his granddad. when he graduated from the university of derby, guess where his photo was taken? i was actually telling my girlfriend the other day, like, she was saying, "oh, if derby go, can't you just support someone else?" and i was like, you can't, like... when you support a club your whole life, to sort of go and then support someone else — it doesn't feel right, like, it would never feel the same. like, i've always wanted to, like, pass supporting derby, like, onto my kids in the future sort of thing, and be able to experience, like, going to games with my kids and, like, pass on the memories i've had as a derby fan to them and, like, allow them to sort of create their own — like i had when i was younger. derby county's just days away from celebrating 138 years of football — a proud history. but the concern now is for the future, and for fans like jack and the generations of fans to come. let's introduce you to three generations of fans. andy, richard, benjamin and anderson. good morning. we

investigating the disappearance of a young girl in australia. cheryl grimmer vanished from a beach near sydney more than fifty years ago, and she was never seen again. the series is presented byjon kay — and in the latest episode he's uncovered the story of another girl — kathy wrethman, which has a much happier ending. let's take a look. june 1968... ..and kathy wrethman was safe. the toddler had been missing for three days — but she was found alone in new south wales, almost 20 miles from home. hi,jon! now a grandma, this is the first time kathy's ever spoken publicly about what happened. the person that took me didn't hurt me. the only thing kathy could tell her parents was that there was a man, and the only clue — whoever took herfrom the family home cut her hair. nobody was ever charged. i can't remember a lot. i can only remember a dog, and a room — being in a room. someone coming in and opening this door and saying, "go to sleep." i do remember that, and the dog under my bed. it was a big dog — i think it was an alsatian. what's it like for you now — even now — not really knowing where you were and who you were with during those few days? it's mind—boggling. i came across kathy's story while investigating the disappearance of another child in australia for the bbc podcast series fairy meadow. cheryl grimmer vanished from fairy meadow beach two years later. she has never been found. now, the cases of cheryl and kathy have never been officially linked — and maybe there is no connection — but the similarities are striking. police think both girls were abducted. they were both about the same age. they'd both arrived in australia from the uk and were living in migrant hostelsjust an hourapart. of course, ifeel like the luckiest lady in the world. kathy was found wandering in a creek by some school boys who were skipping lessons. she's convinced they saved her life, but she's never seen them since. just to say thank you. i mean, thank you wouldn't be enough for saving your life because what i've got now is my family, and i wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for them. i want to introduce you to somebody. who? who's that? hello! i'm mark. hello! oh, my god. how are you? i'm good. long time, no see. this is mark. so mark byrne was one of those three boys who found you. we were wagging school, like, we weren't good boys at school, but...we had a good outcome that day! thank you so much| for wagging school! i can't believe it! this is a dream. i've just wanted to thank you and... oh, my god. i just... thank you's not enough. this is how kathy's parents thanked the boys at the time. here's the watch. still got my dad's watch. wow! still engraved! it still works. i love you, and you're... you're always going to be my hero — you're always going to be my hero! five decades on, at least one mystery has been solved. john kay, bbc news. such an incredible story, isn't it? and the latest episodes ofjon's podcast series fairy meadow are now available to listen to on bbc sounds or wherever you get your podcasts. it's an actor's worst nightmare — going on stage without a script, and without a rehearsal. but that's exactly what 40 celebrities including sir ian mckellen and dame emma thompson have signed up for — and they're doing it to save a theatre in north london. let's find out more. sir tony robinson is one of the actors who's signed up to the challenge — he joins us now from park theatre. good morning. great to see you this morning. what exactly have you let yourself in for? {lilia morning. what exactly have you let yourself in for?— yourself in for? ok, so at the park theatre every _ yourself in for? ok, so at the park theatre every night _ yourself in for? ok, so at the park theatre every night we _ yourself in for? ok, so at the park theatre every night we have - yourself in for? ok, so at the park theatre every night we have the i theatre every night we have the actors who already know their pipes and do the show that they are always doing, but then, halfway through it is a murder mystery, and through the doors, come with me, through the doors, come with me, through the doors, at the back there, somebody comes in him has never been in the show before and they don't know their words and they don't know what's going to happen. and that person is always a different celebrity, a star of tv and film, and they come on and they are briefed, they have a little ear thing and they are told what to say and apart from that they have no idea what's going to happen so that is the show. and this is supposed to be a cruise liner and it is all very, very scary. cue the sound, please! and there is lots of stuff to make you jump... thunderclap that is the kind of show in store if you come. that is the kind of show in store if you come-— that is the kind of show in store if ou come. i, i, , you come. you are giving it the big sell. as you come. you are giving it the big sell- as an — you

you are giving it the big sell. as an actor, obviously it is i sell. as an actor, obviously it is exciting and you love being on stage but there is something daunting about that, isn't there? absolutely. actors have — about that, isn't there? absolutely. actors have a _ about that, isn't there? absolutely. actors have a neurotic— about that, isn't there? absolutely. actors have a neurotic dream - about that, isn't there? absolutely. actors have a neurotic dream aboutj actors have a neurotic dream about precisely this, suddenly finding yourself on stage and not knowing what you are supposed to say. the scariest thing in the world. fortunately i will have my clothes on. normally when i have that dream i am in the nude but everyone will be relieved to know that. the important thing is that theatres have taken such a hammering over the last two years because of covid. this theatre, apart from ticket sales, need something like £300,000 per year in order to survive, so all the money from this is going to go into trying to make that a reality again. the actors are not going to be paid, this is for charity. every night when the audience turns up, they don't know which of the stars are on offer, whether it is harry hill or lee manning or me orjoanna lumley, i going to turn up —— lee mack. lumley, i going to turn up -- lee mack. i, ' i lumley, i going to turn up -- lee

actors love this theatre and they think of it as their own and once they knew there was this kind of financial challenge, everybody volunteered. it has been such a glittering cast. ian mckellen, we have been talking to stephen fry, anyone you can think of who might do it and who you would want to see, they will be here. so if you come i am absolutely convinced that the person you are seeing will be absolutely fabulous unless you come on the day i can't. it sounds incredible. i'm trying to think of positives. the glaring when i can think of if there is no script to learn! i. . i. i can think

hear him, and then you reinstate the line but obviously we want to say it much better than the person in the wing. all the time you are hearing what you are supposed to say and then you re—say it a
