Coming up at 0915 Regional Airline flybe is reported to be seeking government help to keep the Company Going. And later in Sport Rugby League legend rob burrow reflects on an emotional fundraiser match following his diagnosis with motor neurone disease. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9. The queen is holding talks at sandringham later today to try to map out a future path for the duke and duchess of sussex, following their announcement that they want to step back as senior royals. Prince charles, Prince William and prince harry will be at the meeting, and meghan is likely tojoin by phone from canada. There are plenty of questions that might be discussed. How will harry and meghan fund their new lives . They say they want to become financially independent but what does that mean for them . Will the couple keep their royal titles . At the moment, theres no suggestion they wish to renounce them. The cost of their security and who will pay for it is also unclear. The home secretary priti patel was asked this morning about this issue and said safety was a priority. Just by discussing it publicly compromises much of the security arrangements and that is not something that is for discussion today. I think it is right the royal family have the time and space to discuss the issues they need, and therefore i am not going to and neither will the government give a public commentary in terms of the security arrangements of anybody with protective security. But safety is a priority. Safety is a lwa ys but safety is a priority. Safety is always a protein which is why certain individuals have that. It is important we preserve the integrity of that which is why i am not going to comment. Our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell is at sandringham this morning. What are the options . This is the first time the royals have met face to face since the statement was published last week. In the room will be the queen, prince charles, Prince William and prince harry, meghan on the phone, and their private secretaries. Over the last few days after the queen made it clear she wanted a resolution quickly, they will have been beavering away talking to government, officials, different governments, because harry and meghan have wanted to divide their time between the uk and america. You heard the issue of security, where they will live, how do you as a royal step back so you are part royal, part private, how do you combine holding down a career without accused of cashing in on the royal name. These are tricky problems which royal family members have fallen foul of but which will have fallen foul of but which will have to be resolved. There is a clear determination on the part of prince harry and meghan they want a different path and will not settle for the status quo. The royal family will have to work this out because they want to retain the herrick they want to retain the herrick the harry and meghan star dust within the royal family. In terms of how advanced their plans are, various things have emerged around trademarking the sussex royal brand effectively, using that for merchandise, talk of meghan having already recorded a voice over for disney albeit in return for a charity to donation. What is known . And also prince harry, they announced a while ago, he had a tie up with Oprah Winfrey and chappell to do a series on mental health. These questions are not really known because there are so many complicated issues apple. Meghan and harry have said they want to become financially independent and to carve out a niche for themselves. It has been reported meghan has already done a voice over deal with disney, albeit in behalf ofa deal with disney, albeit in behalf of a charity. These things are as yet to be decided, no doubt these things will be discussed today. This isnt just a business things will be discussed today. This isntjust a business transaction, this is a family transaction, lots of the headlines are talking about a rift between william and harry. There are very personal aspect to this issue as well as the fact meghan and harry have this desire to break out on their own. So much to be discussed behind closed doors. Roya nikkhah is the royal correspondent for the sunday times and joins us from buckingham palace. It is extraordinary seeing this playing out, knowing this summit will be happening, and what is at sta ke. Absolutely it is. Sam is taking place it is unprecedented, what is being discussed is completely unprecedented in the royalfamily. We will wait to see whether the personal issues can be resolved, these huge questions about whether members of the royal family can keep within the royal family but also be in the commercial world. Really sad personally at the heart of it for the family which is clearly very fractured at the moment. What is your understanding about the state of relations . My state of relations . My understanding is, we ran in the sunday times yesterday, deep sadness certainly from Prince William, about the broken bond with his brother. But the hope, with support from the royalfamily, but the hope, with support from the royal family, they want to support harry and meghan, to reconcile, find a way forward so everyone can play on the same team. In terms of finding a halfway house, is there a sense that is going to be something that is possible, maintaining royal status but effectively cashing in on it as well . Ido well . I do not think anyone knows that right now, that is what this meeting is about, that is the deal they will try to thrash out. I am sure there will be certain things on the table the queen will make clear have to be off the table, seven commercial areas that will not work because the royalfamily being areas that will not work because the royal family being accused or held up royal family being accused or held up to scrutiny that they are cashing in on their royal status has always been toxic for the institution. Meghan has gone back to canada, she will bejoining this meghan has gone back to canada, she will be joining this conversation by phone link. Is there a sense, it sends a big signal, the fact she went back to canada so quickly after just being back for a few days, having left archie there. It possibly shows how uncomfortable she feels here, very difficult for prince harry to be left on his own to face the music. Judgment from the public. Discussions with the family by himself. But meghan also wanted to get back because archie is in canada, as a mother, she did not wa nt to canada, as a mother, she did not want to be parted from him too long. The dogs are with them. It gives you a sign perhaps she is not coming back anytime soon. Thank very much. We will keep you updated on those discussions. Nominations from mps and meps for the labour leadership close at 14 30 this afternoon, and to get through to the next stage, each candidate needs the support of at least 22 of their peers. Sir keir starmer, rebecca long bailey, Jess Phillips and lisa nandy have the required number of nominations leaving Emily Thornberry and clive lewis lobbying to get the backing of at least 22 of their fellow labourmps and meps. Registered supporters who are not full Party Members will have 48 hours from 14th to the 16th of january to secure a vote by paying £25. The ballot will be open from 21st february until the second of april. With the results announced days later on the 4th april. Our Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake is with me. Jonathan, is there an expectation they will all go through or does it look like Emily Thornberry and clive lewis may not get the required support . It is touch and go for those too. There are four through to the next round, sir keir starmer, on 68. Behind him, rebecca long bailey seen as the other leading contender, in the 20s, as are the prominent backbenchers lisa nandy and Jess Phillips. Still struggling to make up phillips. Still struggling to make up numbers, the shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry saying yesterday she was confident she would get over the line, no doubt having last minute conversations with her parliamentary colleagues to make sure she gets the required numbers by that deadline of 2 30pm. And clive lewis, if there is anyone who looks like he is in danger at this stage, it is him, the shadow treasury minister, just four nominations, one of whom is himself, for leadership of the labour party. He was asked this morning whether he was still confident he could make up numbers and he said he had faith in his colleagues. We will see how much faith they have in him when that deadline comes at 2 30pm and we will find out which candidates are going through to the next stage in this contest. At this stage, it is mps who get to decide. That changes in the later stages. As we have seen before everything can change at that point. There are three phases to this contest for labour leadership, firstly, nominations from labour mps. The next is winning support from trade unions, affiliated groups to the labour party, and local constituency labour parties across the uk. The candidates who go through after today will have to win the backing of two trade unions or more than 30 local labour parties across the uk. Those who do that will go forward to the ballot, a postal ballot, of labour Party Members and registered supporters, and it is that vote which will decide the eventual winner, that iu ns decide the eventual winner, that runs from the 21st of january through to the 2nd of april, and the winner will be announced a couple of days after that. We might have a fair idea come this afternoon of the shape of the race. When unions get involved and the membership as a they are a difficult and disparate group to predict, it could all change again. Thank you very much. The taal volcano in the philippines has thrown molten rock into the sky, triggering official warnings that a hazardous eruption of toxic gas may be imminent. Sped up footage of the spewing earlier shows the plume of white smoke thats several kilometres high. As tremors shook the area you could see a volcanic Lightning Storm in the column of steam and ash. 25,000 people have been evacuated across the province of batangas, south of the capital manila. Our correspondent Howard Johnson is there. The taal volcano has entered a magmatic eruption phase. Last night it was a phreatic phase where there was lots of steam and ash. Now, there is lava flowing from the volcano. A weak flow at the moment but that is causing this black smoke to billow out of the volcano and that is affecting the air quality around here, lots of dust and ash in the air, and that is affecting International Airports in this area. New clark city and manila have had lots of flights cancelled and suspended. There is ash on the runway. If we look to my left, you can see ash all over the floor, it has turned into a mud state in some places and on the road on the way up we saw people clearing that mud from the road. We saw pineapple groves completely covered in dust, no doubt affecting livelihoods in this area. The other major risk that the scientists are saying is that there could be a volcanic tsunami. If you look over here, you can see taal volcano surrounded by a lake. If there is a major eruption that could cause the earth to move which will displace water, so, low lying communities on the coastline could be affected by a tidal wave if there is a major eruption. And these are the live shots of the volcano. You can see people watching from a safe distance. That kano is on a small island in the middle of the lake, one of the worlds smallest volcanoes, recording 3a eruptions over the last hundreds of years. They are anticipating another eruption in hours, perhaps days.

There is a lot to do. For three years there has been no government here, there are lots of things on the to do list, health, education, policing, infrastructure. They will put some questions to the Prime Minister today about where funding will come from that. There is talk of a lot of money heading that way. Yes, absolutely. We talk about the Health Service. It is widely believed here and accepted the Health Service is in a state of crisis, massive waiting list. Vast amounts need to be put in. On education, there is a crisis as well, lots of money needs to be put in here. A big problem with sewage and the water system, big Infrastructure Projects need to be funded. Other things, big Infrastructure Projects need to be funded. Otherthings, big plans have been put on hold for three years, the north south interconnector on electricity, decisions have to be made on that. Massive decisions and massive bills. All the parties signed up to this agreement over the last few days. There were big promises but no price tag is put on it. When you add it up, there are various amounts, 1. 5 billion, even as much as £2 billion needed to implement all those things promised. When the by mr borisjohnson and the taoiseach wawrinka arrive here, Arlene Foster and michelle oneill, and the Prime Ministers will have to say, you have made all these promises, now we need the money. Datsyuk leo varadkar. Promises, now we need the money. Datsyuk leo varadkar. Thank you very much, keith. The headlines on bbc news.

The Airline Flybe has refused to comment on reports that its trying to secure emergency funding to prevent its collapse. Flybe was bought by connect airways, a consortium created by virgin atlantic, stoba rt group and Investment Adviser cyrus capital last year. Our business presenter Dominic Oconnell is here. They are not commenting on media reports on crisis talks being under way, what do you understand . Certainly not denying. They say they are focused on Passenger Service and not focusing on speculation but they are not saying this is the case. It would not be surprising if they were in some financial difficulty, there isa in some financial difficulty, there is a sense of deja vu, they had difficulty this time last year. It put itself up for sale and was bought by virgin atlantic, cyrus capital and start and Stobart Group stop experts say the main problem is if flybe needs more money, where will it come from . With investors having funded the rescue, do they want to put more money in and on what terms . It is hard to see how the government could help. There isa how the government could help. There is a limited range of options and not much history of airlines being bailed out in the uk. 2,000 employees at flybe. Add a question for passengers, we are familiar with what happens with thomas cook, the government and protection scheme helped passengers get repatriated or refunded with tickets already booked. At flybe, almost all passengers will not be covered because it is seat early bookings are not part of a pa
