joe biden, says extending the conflict in gaza would only play into the ideology of hamas — which is designated a terrorist group by many western governments. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega reports. back in israel. after more than 50 days in captivity, the latest group of hostages freed by hamas. ten israelis, and two thai nationals. they included ditza who is 84, and mother and daughter gabriela and mia bella, who was apparently kidnapped with them. 75—year—old ada sagi was also freed. this is her son speaking moments before the release. we are shaking with excitement. it was hard to contain so much focus of the last 53 days were all about this moment. 81 hostages have now returned to israel.

and details have started to emerge of how they were treated in captivity. translation: today we heard l the shocking testimonies of how 12—year—old eitan was forced to watch gore videos from october 7th, and was beaten by terrorists. he's only 12 years old. in return, more palestinians were released from israeli jails. 180 have now been freed, women and teenagers. there wasjubilation in ramallah in the occupied west bank as they returned home. translation: indescribable joy. ifeel like i have escaped from death by coming out of the interrogation cell after spending a month there. the prison was extremely harsh, and thank god that i was released from prison. we left behind many prisoners and i hope they will also be released. in gaza, the pause in the fighting is a chance to assess damage. the humanitarian crisis continues. aid agencies have warned hunger

and disease amid shortages of water, food and petrol. the ceasefire is holding but people in gaza wonder for how long the guns will stay silent. hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. hugo bachega joins us now from jerusalem. that is the key question this morning, how much longer can this temporaryjuice continue for. —— temporaryjuice continue for. —— temporary truce. what will it take, hugo, for this to be extended beyond today? hugo, for this to be extended beyond toda ? , g ., , , hugo, for this to be extended beyond toda? ,, today? yes, jon, this is the key question- _ today? yes, jon, this is the key question. israel— today? yes, jon, this is the key question. israel says _ today? yes, jon, this is the key question. israel says it - today? yes, jon, this is the key question. israel says it is - today? yes, jon, this is the key i question. israel says it is hopeful the ceasefire can be extended again and hamas says it is open to the possibility. intelligence chiefs from israel, from the united states, egypt, have been holding talks in qatar to discuss this new possible deal. the united states, egypt and qatar have been heavily involved in

negotiating the terms of the deal. this possible new phase could see the first group of men and also military personnel being released, people who have been held hostage for more than 50 days now in gaza. and around 160 people remain in captivity in gaza. 0bviously we'll be watching those developments to see whether they managed to reach a deal for an extension of this deal quite here in israel, the government has said they have received a list with the names of those people who are expected to be freed later today, the families have been notified, again, for every israeli citizen returned, three palestinian prisoners will be released from israeli jails. the extension of the ceasefire means that more aid is getting into gaza but aid agencies are saying it isn't enough to. we

have had reports of clashes in the city ofjenin as the israeli army carries out offences injenin in the west bank in a refugee camp there. clearly another tense day in the middle east. thank you, hugo. more news now from luxmy including an amazing rescue. 41 workers who'd been trapped in a tunnel in northern india for more than two weeks have been pulled free in one of the country's biggest ever rescue operations. the workers have been taken to hospital for checks. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussain is outside one of those hospitals. what we know about the rescue? i can

the inquest opens today into the four teenagers who died in a crash in north wales earlier this month. jevon hirst, harvey 0wen, wilf fitchett and hugo morris, from shrewsbury, were found in an overturned, partially submerged car in gwyneth on 24th november. the car had been spotted following a major search to find the teenagers after they were declared missing during a camping trip. the covid inquiry will hear from both the former health secretary sajid javid and the former deputy pm dominic raab today. yesterday, cabinet minister michael gove gave evidence and apologised to bereaved families for errors made by the government during the pandemic. 0ur correspondent ellie price has this report. he was the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster. that strange job title in british politics, which basically means you're in charge of getting the stuff the government wants to get done done. i swear by almighty god. that the evidence i shall give... and there was lots to get

done in the pandemic. michael gove told the inquiry the government didn't always get it right. politicians are human beings, we're fallible, we make mistakes and we make errors. and i'm sure that the inquiry will have an opportunity to look in detail at many of the errors i and others made. he was clear that lockdowns came too late, both in march and november 2020. the effects on children weren't properly considered and that testing should have been better planned. but michael gove also held back from overtly criticising colleagues. he defended the way his old boss, borisjohnson, made decisions, suggesting the former prime minister's principled attachment to civil liberties made the idea of lockdown difficult to contemplate. yesterday, the prime minister announced the most radical steps yet to slow the spread of this virus. he also said he had a high opinion of matt hancock, the then health secretary, who has been strongly criticised by some witnesses, including scientific advisers and civil servants,

for what they described as nuclear levels of confidence and a tendency to over promise and under—deliver. i have a high opinion of mr hancock and believe that many of the decisions that he made were right and displayed foresight and wisdom. michael gove is the first cabinet minister who was right at the centre of decision—making to give evidence here at the inquiry. in fact, he's still a cabinet minister in government. back then he was part of the so—called quad of borisjohnson, rishi sunak and matt hancock. now, matt hancock will be here later this week. rishi sunak and borisjohnson are expected in the coming weeks. the prime minister is in safe hands with a brilliant team at st thomas's hospital. later today we'll get dominic raab, the then deputy prime minister, who had to take hold of the reins when borisjohnson became gravely ill with covid, and sajid javid, who took over as health secretary in the summer of 2021. ellie price, bbc news

at the covid inquiry in london. and we will be hearing more about this just after a day. just after 8am. britain and greece are embroiled in an escalating diplomatic row, after rishi sunak cancelled a meeting with the greek prime minister. the dispute is over these, the parthenon sculptures, also known as the elgin marbles, and once part of the acropolis in ancient athens. 200 years ago, lord elgin brought them to britain but greece wants them back. a version of a controversial new book about the royal family has been removed from sale in the netherlands. the dutch edition of endgame names a family member who allegedly asked questions about the skin colour of prince harry and meghan�*s baby. the book's author 0mid scobie says he didn't name any such person, and the publisher is blaming an "error in translation". a new study in the british medical journal has found gp appointments held over the phone or online could be putting patients at risk.

the researchers say mistakes are rare, but doctors may not fully grasp the severity of a patient�*s condition when interacting with them remotely. the government has announced plans to create a new national park in england. it has commissioned expert advisors to find suitable sites for the country's eleventh protected park. wales and scotland are consulting on similar proposals, but critics say creating new national parks could risk funding being overstretched. 0ur environment correspondent claire marshall reports. the remote peaks and calming waters of britain's national parks, part of a post—war vision to protect the jewels in the crown of the british countryside. in his first major policy announcement, the new environment secretary travelled to a landscape restoration project in kent to reveal plans for a new park in england. they're a really important part of our way of life, that's why we're launching this competition for a new national park.

but we're going further than that. we're putting in an extra five million this year, extra ten million next year. people enjoy the national parks for a reason. we want to expand that and really build on the history we have and have a further national park as part of that process. lines on a map haven't even been drawn yet. it will take years for this new national park to become a reality. and in the meantime, the existing network is already struggling. like here on dartmoor, where dwindling park resources makes it a challenge to fund even vital repair work like shoring up eroded footpaths. park chiefs will study the new funding announcement carefully. the devil's in the detail. what we really need is revenue funding to pay for salaries of staff on the ground. feet on the ground helps us deliver practical projects for nature and for people. because, with the natural world in steep decline,

this vision of a new national park must be more than just wishful thinking. claire marshall, bbc news. let's stay out and about but go slightly further afield. let's have a look at some of the incredible pictures that are shortlisted for the wildlife photographer of the year people's choice award, with the winning image to be decided by the public. this was taken in norway. could have been my bed this morning. i think we can all relate to how that polar bear is feeling, bearing its base under its poor, there. it shows a polar bear making a bed out of floating ice. meanwhile in kenya there's this image of a lion cub being groomed by two lionesses. that is adorable, he looks so proud of himself!

and from australia we have this picture of a mudskipper fish defending its territory against a trespassing crab. what is that expression? that is me when i realised how cold it was when i stepped outside this morning. fin i stepped outside this morning. on the i stepped outside this morning. 0n the left on the right? i stepped outside this morning. on the left on the right? a _ i stepped outside this morning. on the left on the right? a bit - i stepped outside this morning. on the left on the right? a bit of - the left on the right? a bit of both! the winning photograph will be announced in february. i think that has got some pictures as well. reacting to the cold. it is looking a tad chilly behind you to say the least. yes, cold in salford. wintry for some! we have got snow on the ground in northumberland, and also towards part of norfolk, given the coating in places. very few have got the snow but where you have, slippery conditions underfoot, but even if not, it is a frosty and icy starting places. temperatures below freezing in many areas, not quite so in

western and southern england. showers overnight have been rain. snow showers peppering south—east scotland, the coastal fringes of england, mainly across parts of east and north yorkshire and norfolk. the rain showers towards the south of england, wales and sleet mixing for northern ireland, these are the areas where we will see something wetter to start the day. a cold frosty stud for most of you, lots of sunshine to come. the cloud amounts will thicken up, the wind fairly light, brisk breeze in the western isles and write down the coastal strip where we are seeing a few wintry flurries, but temperatures struggling to lift up, three to 5 degrees or the vast majority, down on what we normally would expect. tonight, wintry showers in the north and east, they could come inland later on, and we could see a covering of snow tomorrow morning on

the very tops of the moors as you see a weather system push in here with strong winds. tomorrow it is going to be another cold and frosty start for many. a coroner has said there is a "postcode lottery" for stalking victims, after the inquest into the death of a woman killed by her ex—colleague. 23—year—old gracie spinks was murdered by michael sellers in 2021. now, the coroner who led the inquest said victims in some parts of the uk don't get enough support. 0ur midlands correspondent navtej johal has this report. she was beautiful, always laughing, singing. dancing, doing, i don't know, always up to something. gracie spinks loved family, horses and music. but at the age ofjust 23, her life was cruelly cut short.

she was killed by her colleague, michael sellers. he'd become obsessed with her and was later dismissed by their employer when she complained about his behaviour. the inquest into her death heard that he'd previously harassed several other female colleagues. it got worse and worse, and i'm just worried that, you know, the next time it happens to someone else, they might kidnap someone. after this 101 call from gracie, where she told police of her fears, officers spoke to sellers, but took no further action. then in may 2021, a bag containing weapons was found in derbyshire, near where gracie kept her horse and was reported to the police. but they didn't investigate further. after gracie's death, it emerged it belonged to michael sellers. anna white, who found the bag, says she was shocked that police didn't do more. that girl would more than likely still be here if they had done what they should have done.

just basic stuff that they didn't do. they didn't do anything. six weeks later, sellers stabbed gracie to death. he then killed himself. her parents believed the police's failings contributed to her death. derbyshire constabulary's handling of the case is disgraceful, to be honest, i'm appalled at the amount of inactivity in investigating. the inquest found that gracie had been unlawfully killed. there were significant failures throughout both gracie's report of stalking and the way in which the findings of the bag were dealt with. put simply, as a force, we failed gracie. and for that, i can only offer my own and the force's most sincere apologies. an inquest into the death of michael sellers concluded that he died by suicide to avoid accountability. despite the conclusions, gracie's killing continues to haunt those who loved her.

the coroner has since published a prevention of future death report. in it, he outlined six areas of concern for derbyshire police, including the need for the force to improve its knowledge of stalking investigations, note taking and risk assessments. the home office and derbyshire police have 56 days to respond to the report. navteonhal, bbc news. we'll be speaking to gracie's parents, alison ward and richard spinks, just after eight. let's take a look at today's papers. the mirror leads on the publication of the controversial book endgame about the royal family. the paper reports that the dutch version has been pulled from sale because it accidentally reveals a royal family member who allegedly asked questions about the skin colour of prince harry and meghan�*s baby. meanwhile the express focuses on other claims in the book and says the king and prince william are "united against

the mischief making smears". the times reports on new research that suggests walking briskly, around two—and—a—half miles per hour, can reduce the risk of developing diabetes. it is not about worrying about steps, it is about the pace. it is all about walking briskly. that's aood all about walking briskly. that's good news. _ all about walking briskly. that's good news. two _ all about walking briskly. that's good news, two and _ all about walking briskly. that's good news, two and a - all about walking briskly. that's good news, two and a half - all about walking briskly. that's| good news, two and a half miles all about walking briskly. that's - good news, two and a half miles an hourfor two steps. i5 good news, two and a half miles an hour for two steps.— hour for two steps. is good news if our do hour for two steps. is good news if your dog isn't _ hour for two steps. is good news if your dog isn't as — hour for two steps. is good news if your dog isn't as slow _ hour for two steps. is good news if your dog isn't as slow as _ hour for two steps. is good news if your dog isn't as slow as my - hour for two steps. is good news if your dog isn't as slow as my dog. l your dog isn't as slow as my dog. don't name and shame him, poor dog! and the telegraph features this story on its front page about the british medicaljournal saying patients are being put at risk by gp appointments being done online and over the phone. it's beginning to get a bit like christmas in the papers, lots of

0livia colman and a very memorable role for hugh grant. he is always memorable, do you render him in paddington two? he does memorable well! wonka had its uk premiere last night. noor nanji was there. ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you a brand new contraption of my creation? willy wonka, back on the big screen. let me ask you... this time it's the story of his humble beginnings and how he became a world famous chocolate maker, beloved by so many. my name is willy wonka! and the title role, it's timothee chalamet. prepare to be amazed. the 27—year—old dune star becomes the third actor to step into the shoes of the iconic inventor after gene wilder in 1971 and johnny depp in 2005. 0n the red carpet, crowds of fans queued for hours to get a sight of the stars. well, some fans are just here to soak up the atmosphere, but others are desperate to try and catch a glimpse of one man in particular,

timothee chalamet, who has become hollywood's latest heart—throb. people are very protective over characters they love, particularly willy wonka. they don't want to see people mess it up. but we were in great hands with paul king. and it's not the story of charlie and the chocolate factory. it's a different story. it's the story of how willy wonka became willy wonka. and i think we did a greatjob. starring alongside him is 14—year—old calah lane. she plays a young orphan girl noodle who befriends wonka. i'm just, i'm so excited and ijust can't believe it. i got an idea. where do we start? what was the best thing about the whole experience? i mean, just being on set and just having, you know, getting like a second family, basically, with everybody. chocolate of the world. ooh! here's another heart—throb. now an 0ompa loompa. it's hugh grant, but not as you've ever seen him before as he takes on the role of lofty, complete with an orange face and green hair. i will have you know that i am a perfectly respectable size

for an 0ompa loompa. # 0ompa loompa, dumpedy—dee. but it's something of a departure for grant, who's best known for playing quintessentially english gentlemen in films like notting hill and love actually. huh! but his casting faced criticism over the decision not to give the role to an actor with dwarfism. well, it's obviously something because you said, "huh." director paul king of paddington fame explained the decision. well, i think the great thing about the oompa loompas is they're extraordinary creatures. and dahl describes them as a no higher than my knee or about the size of a medium sized doll. and we tried to use the iconic look that they came up with in the 1971 movie with the green hair and the orange skin and sort of merged that with the way dahl described them in a way that i think that maybe they would have done had they had the technology of today. the star—studded cast also includes oscar winner 0livia colman as villainous shopkeeper mrs scrubbit, mr bean actor rowan atkinson as a priest and american comedian and actor keegan—michael key as the chief of police.

it was an honour, an absolute honour to be to be asked to be a part of this movie and to be a part of this legacy of roald dahl�*s creation. you're going to get more than a bonk on the head. i think that this certainly exists in the spirit of what he created. making chocolate, of course. roald dahl�*s book has been adored by generations of children and adults alike. film—makers will be hoping wonka can repeat the success. noor nanji, bbc news. it will be interesting to see if it lives up to the gene wilder version. it does look good. wonka is out in uk cinemas next friday. coming up. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas, or is it? we have talked about presents but have a look at this. we'll hear why some people think their town christmas trees

travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, i'm alice salfield. the london son of 75—year—old hostage ada sagi who was released yesterday — has told the bbc he plans to give her the biggest hug and tell her "we never stopped fighting to get her back". she had been due to celebrate her birthday with family in london just days after she was taken hostage. she was was among ten israelis — and two thais released on the fifth day of a truce. new research has found that more needs to be done to help ethnic minority women pre—pregnancy — to help prevent death and traumatic experiences during labour. studies have found black women are four times more likely do die within six weeks of giving birth. 0ne london charity says more focus on tailored support could avoid poorer outcomes. we really need to see that change because if we don't get that right and if we don't make a difference for black, asian and ethnic

minority women then i think we are fundamentally failing in fulfilling the founding principles of our national health service. the met is appealing to londoners to be vigilant over christmas. calls to it's anti—terror hotline have doubled since the attacks by hamas on israel on seventh 0ctober. the force says there's no evidence of a specific threat—but they're working in a "heightened state of readiness." a paramedic is calling for abuse against staff to stop after they were pushed out of an ambulance. london ambulance service released footage of the incident which happened outside the chelsea and westminster hospital earlier this year. the patient was arrested at the scene and later convicted. uber is opening up its app to black cab drivers in the new year, in what it has dubbed a "partnership" with hackney carriage drivers. the company says a "small number" have already signed up — and hopes to recruit several

hundred byjanuary. but the licensed taxi drivers' association, which represents more than 10,000 members, said it was not consulted and joining would be "sulleying" the trade. to the tubes now — the piccadilly line has no service between hyde park corner and cockfosters — that's eastbound. now it's certainly cold out there — let's get your weather with gemma plumb. good morning. it's set to be another cold day today with that cold weather continuing as we go through the rest of this week. it is going to be dry for many of us, though, we should see some sunshine developing. this morning it's starting off on a cloudy note, but that cloud should thin and break as we go through the day, particularly into the afternoon, to give us some spells of sunshine. and it should stay dry for many of us as well through the course of the day today. it will be a cold day, though, with highs around four or five degrees. this evening and overnight it will stay dry with those clear skies continuing. that does mean it's going to be a cold and frosty night for most of us.

temperatures for many will be below freezing, but we will be bringing in more clouds as we go through towards the end of the night there. so thursday, once again looks as though it will be a cloudy start to the day. once again, it should be mostly dry for many of us. some sunshine breaking through, though, but staying cold. and that cold weather will be continuing as we go through into the weekend. some sunshine around, but the possibility that we could see a few showers. that's it — there's plenty more on our website. now it's back to luxmy and jon. hello this is breakfast with luxmy gopan and jon kay. being bullied is always a horrible experience, but in the pre—digital age it was something that was mainly left at the school gates. now though, children face the prospect of it being filmed and shared on social media. a mother whose daughter was recorded while being attacked on a school bus has urged young people to stop sharing violent incidents online. andrew picken sent this report, which contains distressing scenes from the start.

a teenage mob shrieks as two girls batter each other in this video, found with a quick scroll on instagram. we've disguised these boys fighting in a school corridor, but those caught up in the violence can't control what is shared online. vicky's daughter kaylyn was attacked on a school bus in fife last year. a video of the incident being shared on social media added to her distress. while one lassie was on top of her kicking her in the face, the other lassie come up behind her and grabbed her by the hair and nearly ripped her outof the seat. everybody recorded that. i had something like seven different videos sent to me that had been taken on the bus. i mean, that really did torture kaylyn and it really did put her in a really, really dark place, having to relive that and see that all the time, to the point that then again, how many 13—year—olds would do that. kaitlyn came in and handed us her phone and says, "i don't want it any more". nearly 4000 teachers were asked for their views on pupil behaviour

and relationships in a snapshot scottish government survey. it suggests 43% of teachers have encountered physical violence between pupils. 59% had seen pupils showing physical aggression and 11% reported physical violence towards themselves or other staff in the classroom. at a summit on school violence, the scottish government cited the covid pandemic and the cost of living as two of the factors behind the changes in some pupils' behaviour. the last time this research was undertaken by the government was in 2016, so we expected to see a shift and undoubtedly there are some challenging results that have come forward from the research. it's worth saying though, that most of our children and young people are well behaved in our schools. that was a fundamental key finding from the research itself. but i'm pragmatic about the challenge that exists at the current time. issues with low level disruptive behaviour also appear to have increased. teachers say they need clearer discipline rules. the action needs to be clear guidance from the scottish government of what's acceptable, what's not acceptable and have things put in place for teachers that allow them to know and let head teachers know what's acceptable and what's not acceptable

within the classroom. so do you think that homophobia is a problem in scotland? - here at trinity high in renfrew, senior pupils lead a violence prevention programme. the research did find a significant rise in homophobic abuse, but the threat of online harm is a concern here, too. you're always under scrutiny. you always have access to someone who wants to, you know, _ bring you down and anywhere, whether it be texting you, - snapping you, whatever. it popularise is like bad behaviour because if somebody sees something on tiktok doing something and that might be a joke, that might just be like a funny video and they're like, "0h, they're doing that and that's ok". the scottish government says it will work with young people and schools on an action plan to tackle an issue which all sides agree is a growing problem. andrew picken, bbc news.

some of the footage was really difficult to watch. we'll be joined by kaylynn's mum, vicky donald later in the programme. john's here with the sport. painful night? if you know any newcastle united fans this morning, go easy on them. we have talked about their return to champions league football in 20 years. but there was a big game last night which saw them concede a penalty and fans are fuming. it could take them a long time to get over that anger at the decision to award the penalty against them. erling haaland breaking all records for manchester city but it is back to the drawing board for celtic as they crashed out as katie gornall

reports. newcastle have waited 20 years to play in the champions league. here in paris they gave everything to keep their european adventure alive. since beating psg in october, newcastle have been decimated by injuries and early on their resilience was tested. and yet, as psg discovered, they remain dangerous. it's a chance of a goal. alexandre isak�*s finish was simple — the celebrations chaotic. now the pressure on newcastle was constant. but as psg fans waited for the net to ripple, there was nick pope. there was still time for late drama. the referee saw enough in this to give a penalty and as kylian mbappe stepped up, newcastle's resistance was finally brutally broken. with one game left, their destiny is now out of their hands. celtic�*s european hopes were not so much dashed as smashed in rome after two goals in two minutes from lazio star ciro immobile. one point from five games means they are out and denied the consolation of the europa league. all in all, a frustrating campaign.

there was little for manchester city fans to enjoy about their side's first half performance. rb leipzig were direct and effective as lois 0penda stunned the etihad with two first half goals. this was not part of the script, but eventually city awoke from their hibernation. 0ne touch from erling haaland set them on their way before phil foden twisted and turned the game around. now city were cruising and it was julian alvarez who added the party piece. from 2—0 down, the holders march on as group winners — was it ever in doubt? katy gornall, bbc news. we have seen some big changes in football of late. could we see sin bins coming into football? the international football association board say they'll also trial a rule allowing only the team captain to approach

the referee during a game. it cannot be tolerated any longer that the person who is helping to organise the match, who is helping to run the match is the person who is being abused constantly. we see this in the male and the female game, in youth and adult game and it's something that has become part of the culture. we really have to identify ways of protecting match officials. ronnie 0'sullivan is through to the second round of the uk championship after beating anthony mcgill 6—2 in york. it isa it is a landmark tournament for him. the rocket came from 2—0 down to take control of the match with five half—centuries. he'll face fellow englishman robert milkins in the last 16. the win comes 30 years to the day after he won the tournament aged just 17.

since then he's won everything there is to win in the game including seven world titles, and a record 39 ranking events but he says its getting harder to stay at the top. you just get to the point where you think, i'lljust keep going now for as long as i can. i think i was at 35 and thought i'm probably done and dusted, you know? because that's what usually happens, you don't win so much. but i've had my best ten years so from that point on when i thought everything is a bonus, every year i get extra playing and i think you appreciate it more, you know. the old guard are proving they can still compete with the world's best. john higgins is also through after beating joe 0'connor 6—3. higgins, 48, who turned pro alongside ronnie back in 1992, compiled a magnificent 122 break to help get him over the line. he'll play china's zhou yuelong

in the next round. there's an incredibly powerful conversation on this week's episode of rob burrow�*s podcast, seven. 0lympic athlete dame kelly holmes has opened up to rob about how she had suicidal thoughts and self—harmed whilst she was at the peak of her sporting career. the chat happened after rob spoke about his own battles with motor neurone disease, asking kelly how she's overcome adversity in her own life. unbeknown to me i think the impact of the injuries and some of the other personal things i was going through ended up me having my first ever breakdown in a holding camp, which basically, yeah, i didn't kind of want to see the next day. i became a self—harm at that same time, yet i'm at the top of my game as an international athlete and back then, nobody ever talked about mental health awareness. i didn't even know what it was i was going through.

i really open and honest conversation between kelly holmes and rob. if you've been affected by anything you've heard, there's help and support on bbc action line. go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline for more information. and if you want to listen to the whole episode, you can download it now on the total sport podcast on bbc sounds, or wherever you get your podcasts from. he's had a meteroic rise to stardom, and at only 20 he's already breaking records set by some of the greatest footballers of all time. i am, of course, talking aboutjude bellingham. he scored his 14th goal of the season this weekend, the most scored by any real madrid player in the first 15 games. it is creating a buzz amongst fans the world over. i've been taking a look at his story. it all started here. i think he's incredible. he's a great player. he can do anything. he's certainly one of the best

players in the world at the minute. he is tenacious and he's a nice guy. notjust a smashing player, but a lovely young man. a future england captain today. jude bellingham. what a player. what a legend. how much do you smile when you think aboutjude bellingham? a lot. he's a generational talent. he'sjude bellingham from birmingham city to borussia dortmund and now real madrid. you know, it wasn't a case of the other teams are bad or they weren't good. it's just that for me, madrid is the greatest. who is this man? now, let me guess. jude bellingham. nah, nah, nah, nah. jude bellingham. and i think we're going to find a few more fans inside here, the santiago bernabeu, the home of real madrid.

he's just a great player. and hejust makes it... he just makes everything look really easy. no wonder they're selling so many of these. question is, do we go shirt or scarf? scarf. and it's notjust shirts he's selling, but newspapers, too. it's impossible to find a case likejude. only three months in madrid, and he has he has already like ten covers of marca. impossible to find a case like no other footballers ever had that. no, no one. the rolling stones have even been to see him play haven't they. yes. yeah. they're wearing classical watching jude the big game. against barcelona and probablyjude was there rock and roll. bellingham scores again. bellingham gets a double on his clasico debut. victor, you used to

play for real madrid. isjude bellingham, the new rock star of real? definitely. it's outstanding. it's amazing. he's breaking all the records and in very, very few weeks, everybody is realising that he's a leader. so he's not asking for nothing. everybody�*s coming to him. such has been his impact these fans have flown all the way from birmingham to spain to see him play. as i found out in this irish bar in madrid. we sat there. yeah, i wanted something to look forward to, mulling it over and like we both were in there talking about football, talking aboutjude and i said, madrid. so from birmingham to real madrid, are you going to be doing this every week now? i think after this i will be watching real madrid a lot more. i mean, look, i've got to tell you. so baltimore is first and then we'll go from there. a guy you actually played football against jude bellingham's dad. yes.

sunday league, sunday league, warwick miners. he probably won't remember, but yes, i played against him. you sell a lot of these? yeah, a lot of these, yeah. very popular. these are views i think are the most well, bellingham and vinicius, but i think more bellingham. you sell more bellingham than any others. can you do the celebration? eduardo, you have been to every single real madrid home game since 1995. so you know how the english players have have settled here at the club? has anybody done it like jude bellingham ? not even close. jude has been impressive from day one, and he's exactly the type of player that real madrid fans adore. he is the guy who comes who shows up when it's needed to. he scores in the final minute of the game when you think everything is is done. and suddenly he rescues real madrid from a defeat. the fans love him.

it's love, adoration, it's... he's become an icon in three months. and that love is drawing fans to madrid from all over the world. you're a fan from america supporting a guy from the uk, i mean, this is global sport. yeah, it's a global global phenomenon, correct? yes. and i couldn't be happier. i got two shirts like one and black. so in slovakia, people have heard aboutjude bellingham. yeah, of course. he's a big, big hype about him coming from bulgaria, from plovdiv. our flight was like 6:14 in the morning. it appears as if the whole world is trying to catch a glimpse of football's newest star. as they are all over the world with fans watching on in la, new york. even morocco...

from his roots in birmingham... ..to madrid. jude bellingham is golden boy. amazing, amazing. it has been a remarkable rise. bellingham for the best young player on the planet. go wherever in the world, bellingham mania is here to stay. # hey, dude. # hey, dude. # take a sad song and make it better. it gives a sense of how unprecedented his rise has been. i am sure his family knew where he was

destined, but to see him and i, real madrid, the biggest club on the planet, breaking records. no place has had more front covers of the newspapers in spain and he has. to do it at such a young age, be such a leader at a club like madrid, matching records of cristiano ronaldo, is amazing what he has done in a short period of time. i did love your impression of him as well. glad you got the scarf. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. will certainly need that scarf at the moment. this is a few pictures around the uk, is like covering this money. but upstate new york saw around 56 centimetres of snowfall in little over a day. that is about up to the tops of my legs in height. they are coping with it better than we would. snow showers being pushed

in which is causing the problems you see behind me. the cold air is in place across eastern canada and the united states. all parts of the weather pattern across the northern hemisphere which has seen the cold air drift infor us hemisphere which has seen the cold air drift in for us and much of europe. record cold for november and a very cold start this morning. quite icy in parts of the uk, bit of snow here and there and widespread frost. snow showers continued to peppe" frost. snow showers continued to pepper north east scotland and through the north york moors. travel problems here. dense fog patches around greater manchester. most start dry with sunshine, it will stay cloudy to the southern counties of england and wales. a few rain showers but more rain is spreading into devon and cornwall later. around three to five celsius this afternoon, down on where we would expect to be at this stage in

november. the wintry showers across the north and east of scotland, a bit further inland and a slight shift in wind direction so a greater risk of some slight covering in places and a greater risk of ice. widespread frost, colder tonight across southern counties of england and wales and towards the south—west we could see rain, sleet and snow spread in here. low pressure set to push in towards france, but grazing through the english channel. 0utbreaks through the english channel. outbreaks of rain, but of the tops of the malls we could see a dusting of the malls we could see a dusting of snow on thursday. pretty strong winds towards the far south—west. another fine day away from that, frosty, patchy mist and fog that will clear. if you are showers down eastern counties of england later on thursday but temperatures still cold, around three to 5 degrees. that is how it's looking back to you both. is that a meteorological term, up to

the top of your legs? yes, it is a well—known measurement. you need to put it on your maps, thigh—ometer. they've been competing for customers for years, but now uber and london's iconic black cabs are teaming up. the decision hasn't necessarily been a popular one — as ben is finding out for us. he's at king's cross station this morning. careful, there is a taxi behind you. yes, good morning, the rank behind me is one of the bigger in all of london with thousands of cabs passing by here and st pancras international over the way there, picking up passengers from far and wide.

any of those passages, anyone in london from january will be able to book a black cab through uber. the platform says it has already got drivers to sign up and they say it will give customers the flexibility and the choice of having that option. but the drivers associations say they haven't been consulted and they believe very few, if any drivers will want to sign up. uber has said they will be able to pick up has said they will be able to pick up metered fares are ranked like this and will not pay any commission for six months. it is fair to say uber has a fraught relationship with hackney drivers in the capital. they tried something like this nine years ago but they couldn't get enough drivers to sign up. and this is another attempt at this. separately, there have been issues with transport for london temporarily

suspending uber�*s license over concerns over safety, most recently in 2019. although the licences were reinstated. let's talk to a black cab driver who has signed up. what made it a good idea? the cab driver who has signed up. what made it a good idea?— cab driver who has signed up. what made it a good idea? the taxi trade has changed — made it a good idea? the taxi trade has changed for— made it a good idea? the taxi trade has changed for the _ made it a good idea? the taxi trade has changed for the past _ made it a good idea? the taxi trade has changed for the past five - made it a good idea? the taxi trade has changed for the past five or - made it a good idea? the taxi trade has changed for the past five or six | has changed for the past five or six years. more and more customers are bucking their rides through the apps. so uber is the biggest ride hailing company so they have a lot of customers. i believe they will bring a lot of demand for taxi trade. particularly with tourists coming from overseas.- trade. particularly with tourists coming from overseas. some of your fellow drivers — coming from overseas. some of your fellow drivers would _ coming from overseas. some of your fellow drivers would say _ coming from overseas. some of your fellow drivers would say they - fellow drivers would say they already pay for their licence, they are paying for all sorts of charges to keep their cars on the road. the last thing they want after six months is to start paying commission to uber, do you worry about that? nowadays we have three major apps we use, they already charge a lot of

commission. if i give you an example, they charge £10. if the metre price is £10, the driver usually gets about £8. in return the passengers are charged 12.50, so it is almost 40% commission they charge the customers. but in return, the drivers, they don't get enough. so uber coming to the market, there will be some competition between the ride hailing apps and eventually they will reduce their commission. it will benefit the taxi drivers in the long term.— it will benefit the taxi drivers in the lona term. ., ~ , . the long term. thank you very much. let's the long term. thank you very much. let's speak — the long term. thank you very much. let's speak to _ the long term. thank you very much. let's speak to uber's _ the long term. thank you very much. let's speak to uber's general - let's speak to uber's general manager in the uk. having made the point about commission, they won't take commission for the first six months, after that, what happens? it is a competitive market, multiple apps _ is a competitive market, multiple apps we — is a competitive market, multiple apps. we will be competitive and commission after six months.

birthday with family in london just days after she was taken hostage. new research has found that more needs to be done to help ethnic minority women pre—pregnancy to help prevent death and traumatic experiences during labour. studies have found black women are four times more likely do die are four times more likely than white women to die within six weeks of giving birth. 0ne london charity says more focus on tailored support could avoid poorer outcomes. we really need to see that change because if we don't get that right and if we don't make a difference for black, asian and ethnic minority women then i think we are fundamentally failing in fulfilling the founding principles of our national health service. the met is appealing to londoners to be vigilant over christmas. calls to its anti—terror hotline have doubled since the attacks by hamas on israel on 7th october.

the force says there's no evidence of a specific threat but they're working in a "heightened state of readiness." a paramedic is calling for abuse against staff to stop after they were pushed out of an ambulance. london ambulance service released footage of the incident which happened outside the chelsea and westminster hospital earlier this year. the patient was arrested at the scene and later convicted. alexandra at the scene and later convicted. palace is set to rs grant alexandra palace is set to receive a grant to the park part of the building. the funding from historic england will kick start work to transform derelict victorian offices inside the palace for people to enjoy for the first time in its history. the grant comes in alexandra palace's 150th history. the grant comes in alexandra palace's150th anniversary year. to the tubes now — the piccadilly line has no service between hyde park corner and cockfosters — that's eastbound.

good morning. it's set to be another cold day today with that cold weather continuing as we go through the rest of this week. it is going to be dry for many of us, though, we should see some sunshine developing. this morning it's starting off on a cloudy note, but that cloud should thin and break as we go through the day, particularly into the afternoon, to give us some spells of sunshine. and it should stay dry for many of us as well through the course of the day today. it will be a cold day, though, with highs around four or five degrees. this evening and overnight it will stay dry with those clear skies continuing. that does mean it's going to be a cold and frosty night for most of us. temperatures for many will be below freezing, but we will be bringing in more clouds as we go through towards the end of the night there. so thursday, once again looks as though it will be a cloudy start to the day. once again, it should be mostly dry for many of us. some sunshine breaking through, though, but staying cold. and that cold weather will be continuing as we go through into the weekend. some sunshine around, but the possibility that we could see a few showers. i'll see you in half an hour, bye—bye.

be addressed that these treasures need to be brought back to greece. if you put forward what the british government is saying, that they were lawfully obtained more than 200 years ago and now they are locally occupied and kept in the british museum in london, a lot of people simply don't have any time for that. this argument which has been rumbling doesn't look like it is going awayjust rumbling doesn't look like it is going away just yet.— rumbling doesn't look like it is going away just yet. going away 'ust yet. sounds like it is auoin to going awayjust yet. sounds like it is going to keep — going awayjust yet. sounds like it is going to keep rumbling - going awayjust yet. sounds like it is going to keep rumbling on. - going away just yet. sounds like it i is going to keep rumbling on. thank you, nick beake, in athens. the covid inquiry will hear from both the former health secretary sajid javid and the former deputy pm dominic raab today. yesterday, cabinet minister michael gove gave evidence and apologised to bereaved families for errors made by the government during the pandemic. 0ur correspondent ellie price has this report. he was the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster. that strange job title in british politics, which basically means you're in charge of getting the stuff the government wants to get done done. i swear by almighty god. that the evidence i shall give...

and there was lots to get done in the pandemic. michael gove told the inquiry the government didn't always get it right. politicians are human beings, we're fallible, we make mistakes and we make errors. and i'm sure that the inquiry will have an opportunity to look in detail at many of the errors i and others made. he was clear that lockdowns came too late, both in march and november 2020. the effects on children weren't properly considered and that testing should have been better planned. but michael gove also held back from overtly criticising colleagues. he defended the way his old boss, borisjohnson, made decisions, suggesting the former prime minister's principled attachment to civil liberties made the idea of lockdown difficult to contemplate. yesterday, the prime minister announced the most radical steps yet to slow the spread of this virus. he also said he had a high opinion of matt hancock, the then health secretary, who has been strongly criticised by some witnesses, including scientific advisers and civil servants,

for what they described as nuclear levels of confidence and a tendency to over—promise and under—deliver. i have a high opinion of mr hancock and believe that many of the decisions that he made were right and displayed foresight and wisdom. michael gove is the first cabinet minister who was right at the centre of decision—making to give evidence here at the inquiry. in fact, he's still a cabinet minister in government. back then he was part of the so—called quad of borisjohnson, rishi sunak and matt hancock. now, matt hancock will be here later this week. rishi sunak and borisjohnson are expected in the coming weeks. the prime minister is in safe hands with a brilliant team at st thomas's hospital. later today we'll get dominic raab, the then deputy prime minister, who had to take hold of the reins when borisjohnson became gravely ill with covid, and sajid javid, who took over as health secretary in the summer of 2021. ellie price, bbc news

at the covid inquiry in london. when a school bus began rolling towards a petrol station in australia, it was a 14—year—old girl who leaped into action. as a student raced alongside the vehicle in new south wales, isabelle miller was on board and grabbed hold of the steering wheel, directing it to safety. the driver and on—duty teacher were outside at the time. that is some quick thinking. well done, that is some quick thinking. -ii done, isabel, incredible, who needs key or reeves! she cancelled it herself! —— she can sort it herself! it is really chilly this morning, isn't it? yes, i frosty that, yes, ifrosty that, never temperatures in cumbria and

north—east scotland. things are cold enough for a bit of frost here on the tops of the beach huts in essex, but clearer skies overhead, a fine day for many. adjusting a dusting of global some in parts of north yorkshire where southey scotland and the north—east of england, slippery conditions around right now. a mixture of rain, sleet and snow spreading and across the north of northern ireland. rain showers towards northern ireland, some of the cloud will hang around all day and it will get wetter towards parts of cornwall and devon later during the day. showers in northern scotland in south—east scotland, grazing the eastern coast of yorkshire throughout. the winds are strong in the north sea but inland the wind is a reasonable, many

people having a dry and sunny day, and a chilly one. temperatures no higher than three to 8 degrees, down on what we would normally expect at this time of year. tonight the wind is blowing easily which means that showers are coming in —— inland, a few more of you waking up with a slight dusting of snow tomorrow, but the frost and the ice is the biggest concern for most into tomorrow morning. for many away from the south it will be cloudy with a mixture of rain, sleet and snow in devon and cornwall, but away from that are dry and bright day and that will last into the weekend but it will last into the weekend but it will be cold. when the sheffield united footballer maddy cusack died earlier this year both the women's and the men's game came together to pay tribute to the passing

of the talented young midfielder. maddy was just 27 when she died and had become the first player to reach 100 caps for her club. now in an exclusive interview, her mother has spoken for the first time since the death of her daughter, about the family's pride about what maddy achieved in her life, and of their struggle to come to terms with her death. graham satchell reports. some terribly sad news in women's football this week. sheffield united midfielder maddy cusack has died at the age of 27. the blades said her personality and professionalism made her a credit to herfamily and she will be sadly missed. just a few weeks ago, the football world stopped in silence to remember maddy cusack. maddy had been found dead at home by her dad. police have said there were no

suspicious circumstances. life without madeleine is unimaginable. unbearable. yeah, it's just unimaginable. we did a memorial with sheffield united with a newcastle match and i walked on the pitch and we were applauded by 40,000 fans. i did that because i had to show the world that i was proud of every single thing that madeleine did. she achieved more in her 27 years than a lot of people do in a lifetime, really. just utterly proud of everything she did. utterly proud.

maddy�*s family remembering a much loved sister and daughter. they say she was a happy go lucky, carefree girl with no long standing mental health issues and everything to live for. she was a role model. she was very inspiring and i always looked up to her. i go to all maddy's games and watch every sunday or go for the training, whether it be leicester or aston villa or wherever she played. i'd go with dad. she was amazing. she was one of the best, i think the best footballer on the pitch. i might be a bit biased, but she was amazing. very, very proud of her. yeah, she was amazing footballer. i'd say she's a very, very fierce competitor. first and foremost, that was what she was, what her game was all about, being strong and being proud of herself and rallying her team—mates and pushing them forward. she was a happy person and she was very proud

to be with herfamily. she loved herfamily to bits. we loved her. she was a very proud person, a very proud person. it's completely not me as a person, obviously, growing up it's completely knocked me as a person, obviously, growing up with somebody so close. you envision a lot of your life with them. you don't ever envision it without them. and a lot of things that i wanted to do with her, like, i'm not gonna be able to do that now. so it'sjust a case of finding a way forward through the challenges and kind of stepping up, i suppose. she became miss sheffield united. they labelled her miss sheffield united. she fell in love with the city. she fell in love with the fans. she fell in love with the whole place and she found her home there, yes, yes, she did. maddy's family have been struggling to understand her death. they say until christmas last year, she was at her happiest. but everything changed

from february. at their request, they say, sheffield united have agreed to carry out a thorough investigation into the events they believe contributed to her passing. she worried about her career in football because football to her was everything. so to have that threatened in any way, shape orform hurt. so yeah, her spirit was broken. that's the best way that i can describe it to you. maddy's family say she was facing a number of pressures, some were financial. as well as playing for the club maddy also worked in the office as a marketing executive. she had to do two jobs to make ends meet. sheffield united, last year their players were part time, which means that they all had full time jobs and trained three times a week, played on a sunday, often travelled on a saturday

to play on a sunday for minimal amount of money. i think madeleine is on £6,000 a year last year to play football. so these girls are having tojuggle twojobs. they're having to train and behave like male athletes for a minuscule of the amount of money they get. it's too much, the pressures are way too much. sheffield united say they can neither confirm or deny that an investigation is happening, but they told us they're in regular communication with the cusack family and have offered full support following the tragic passing of maddy. maddy's family are now waiting for the outcome of an inquest into her death. they have set up a foundation in her name. they're hoping to give football boots to young girls who want to play the game. for madeline, every christmas we had to have a ball under the christmas tree, and every year she had a brand new pair of boots. and, you know, football boots, it's another, you know, they're not the most inexpensive thing to buy.

and if we can possibly provide some young girls with them to help them on their way, maddy would have loved that. so that's what we'd like to do. the family speaking with our report of there. thank you for being with here on breakfast. the latest findings of an investigation in to grocery prices have just been released. ben's here to tell us more. good morning. the competition watchdog looked at the prices of some essential staples that he would have in your grocery basket, things like bread, milk, ready meals, poultry, baby formula, and looked at the pricing of those. it has found that when it comes to branded

products, manufacturers have been making bigger profit during the time of high food price inflation. there food —— their cost of gone up because of the cost of energy and the cost of grain rising because of the cost of grain rising because of the war in ukraine but even account for that their profits have been going up, they have been making more. when it comes to own branded items, their own label products, the competition watchdog found that there is such a competition between there is such a competition between the big retailers to keep customers that those customer —— profit margins have not grown on that, if anything they have decreased slightly, supermarket making slightly, supermarket making slightly less on those kind of items. the watchdog says it has some concerns about baby formula in particular but it will look into that. it also has concerns outstanding about supermarket loyalty schemes and it will look into those in more detail and the effect that those might be having on

pricing. this investigation many important at a time when many households are still finding grocery bills painfully expensive, food price inflation in october was still at 10%, price inflation in october was still at10%, prices 10% price inflation in october was still at 10%, prices 10% on average higher for a typical shopping basket than they were a year ago.— for a typical shopping basket than they were a year ago. people will be really feeling _ they were a year ago. people will be really feeling that _ they were a year ago. people will be really feeling that in _ they were a year ago. people will be really feeling that in the _ they were a year ago. people will be really feeling that in the lead - they were a year ago. people will be really feeling that in the lead up - really feeling that in the lead up to christmas as well. thank you, we will speak to you later. it's beginning to look a lot like christmas... the tree is up, everybody! towns, villages and cities across the uk are putting up lights and getting ready for the festive season. but it doesn't always go to plan. 0livia hutchinson reports. from downing street to the white house to warwick cathedral and now tameside. it's fair to say locals here are disappointed with this

year's hattersley christmas tree. it just doesn't look very attractive, does it? you couldn't exactly decorate it, couldn't you, you know what i mean, like? if hattersley are proud of the community, that's not so much to be proud of, is it? christmas is all about kids and lights, and it's supposed to be all fairy tale and magic. and i don't understand why it's so empty. i won't take my kids to see that tree. - they've got nothing there. over the road at the local pub, despite it still being november, festivities are getting in full swing and the tree here is much more impressive. welcome to the christmas grotto. this is our tree where santa sits where the children see him. it was just disappointing that the local council and community can't even put us a nice tree up for the big switch on that the children can all go to as well outside. everybody in this community pulls together when we need to for the children and the families. and it just felt that we don't get anything back, you know.

for even the local hub and community centre to put up a tree like that, it was just disappointing. the local council says this living tree, which does actually have lights on it, not that you can see them, has been in place here for a few years now, but that it is planning on replacing it with a cut tree in time for the hattersley christmas tree lights switch on on friday. it says it's seeking sponsorship in order to make that happen. unfortunately, it's notjust tameside which has fallen victim to trees being described more like twigs. residents in hebden bridge in west yorkshire say the one there has shrunk while in walsall in the west midlands people are saying theirs has no festive spirit. and this one in cambridgeshire has been criticised for being too wonky. tameside council says it will seek a different species to help the new tree here thrive in this location. 0livia hutchinson, bbc news.

noam sagi said he'd spoken to his mother, ada sagi, on a video call and that she looked good and happy. she had been due to celebrate her birthday with family in london just days after she was taken hostage. new research has found that more needs to be done to help ethnic minority women pre—pregnancy — to help prevent death and traumatic experiences during labour. studies have found black women are four times more likely than white women to die within six weeks of giving birth. 0ne london charity says more focus on tailored support could avoid poorer outcomes. we really need to see that change because if we don't get that right and if we don't make a difference for black, asian and ethnic minority women then i think we are fundamentally failing in fulfilling the founding principles of our national health service. the met is appealing to londoners to be vigilant over christmas. calls to it's anti—terror

hotline have doubled since the attacks by hamas on israel on 7th october. the force says there's no evidence of a specific threat—but they're working in a "heightened state of readiness." a paramedic is calling for abuse against staff to stop after they were pushed out of an ambulance. london ambulance service released footage of the incident which happened outside the chelsea and westminster hospital earlier this year. the patient was arrested at the scene and later convicted. from early next year, londoners will be able to order a black cab on the uber app. the company says a "small number" of drivers have already signed up — and hopes to recruit several hundred byjanuary. but the licensed taxi drivers' association, which represents more than 10,000 members, said it was not consulted and joining would be "sulleying" the trade. to the tubes now — the central and elizabeth lines have minor delays and the piccadilly line has no service eastbound between hyde park corner and kings cross st pancras.

now it's certainly cold out there — let's get your weather with gemma plumb. good morning. it's set to be another cold day today with that cold weather continuing as we go through the rest of this week. it is going to be dry for many of us, though, we should see some sunshine developing. this morning it's starting off on a cloudy note, but that cloud should thin and break as we go through the day, particularly into the afternoon, to give us some spells of sunshine. and it should stay dry for many of us as well through the course of the day today. it will be a cold day, though, with highs around four or five degrees. this evening and overnight it will stay dry with those clear skies continuing. that does mean it's going to be a cold and frosty night for most of us. temperatures for many will be below freezing, but we will be bringing in more clouds as we go through towards the end of the night there. so thursday, once again looks as though it will be a cloudy start to the day. once again, it should be mostly dry for many of us. some sunshine breaking through, though, but staying cold. and that cold weather will be continuing as we go through into the weekend. some sunshine around, but the possibility that we could see a few showers. that's it, there's plenty

thanks to alexander isak. but then the penalty that was given, this is the penalty that was given, this is the incidents. judged to be handball. alan shearer said it was a disgusting decision and ally mccoist said they were robbed. destiny is now out of their hands if they are to reach the knockout stage. i have to control myself, it doesn't do you good to lose control of what you think and what you say. i feel for the players after what they have given today and how we performed in difficult circumstances. what that decision does to the group because now their destiny is not with us, thatis now their destiny is not with us, that is tough to take after being so close to being in opposition. disappointing night for newcastle after coming so close. this is what

0'sullivan in 1992 made a magnificent break of 122. tom daley has his sights firmly set on paris next year. he's returned to british swimming's world class programme for diving ahead of the olympics. daley, now 29, took a two—year break from the sport after the tokyo games but returned to training earlier this year. he won gold in the synchronised 10—metre platform event in tokyo alongside matty lee and says competing in a fifth olympics is �*definitely the goal�*. fifth olympics are just 29. we feel like we have been reporting on him for years. when he wasjust like we have been reporting on him for years. when he was just a youngster starting out. i was at the beginning, i was covering plymouth when he was about this big. time to take a look at their weather. looks like you are on a

rooftop? don't slip. good morning. scarborough, snow on the rooftops but it has caused a few issues on the north york moors this morning and if you travel problems. the latest will be on radio york as we go through this money. fog is a problem for some across the midlands, north west england including manchester airport. this was captured a short while ago in staffordshire. but for the vast majority it is cold, frosty and there is a bit of ice to be wary of. but above the thames in london it has been a beautiful start, as it is for many. cloud in places and we do have some showers around and the mixture of rain, sleet and snow across scotland in south east of scotland and north—east england. flurries into norfolk as well. rain showers across parts of england and wales. it will turn wetter through

devon and cornwall later today, especially to the south of both. for most it is a fine day, plenty of sunshine around to come. it will be cold and temperature no higher than three to five and 6 degrees. another cold night tonight. there's wintry showers with sleet and snow could give a feather dusting, even further inland across scotland and northern parts of england as the wind changes. ice is an issue in these areas. and, weather system getting close to the south—west. the tops of the moors in devon and cornwall, particularly dartmoor and towards bodmin, we could see a coating of snow. freezing fog patches, widespread frost and some ice around. but for thursday, we have mentioned this earlier, this area of low pressure looks like it will stay over france butjust graze through the english channel. outbreaks of rain along the coast but tops of the moors, strong winds and we could see another dusting of snow. a few wintry showers, eastern parts of england and to the north and east of scotland. the vast majority tomorrow, after another sunny day it

will be fine out there. but cold, three to five celsius for the vast majority. back to you. just pass 7.50. it goes without saying, being bullied is an awful experience, but in the hp for smartphones it was something that was mainly left at the school gates. it obviously now, peoples face the prospect of it being filmed and shared on social media. which can go anywhere in the world 24 hours a day. it is an issue featuring in coronation street. you might have seen it, and it shows how difficult bullying can be. seen it, and it shows how difficult bullying can be— bullying can be. where are you auoin ? get your back. no. you heard me, get

good and happy. she had been due to celebrate her birthday with family in london just days after she was taken hostage. new research has found that more needs to be done to help ethnic minority women pre—pregnancy to help prevent death and traumatic experiences during labour. studies have found black women are more than four times more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth than white women. one london charity says more focus on tailored support could avoid poorer outcomes. from early next year, londoners will be able to order a black cab on the uber app. the company says a "small number" of drivers have already signed up and hopes to recruit several hundred byjanuary. but the licensed taxi drivers' association, which represents more than 10,000 members, said it was not consulted and joining would be "sulleying" the trade. to the tubes now. the central and elizabeth lines have minor delays and the piccadilly line has severe delays. now onto the weather.

a cold day, the cloud will clear to leave a bright and dry afternoon. temperatures reaching a high of five degrees celsius. that's it, there's plenty more on our website. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and luxmy gopal. our headlines today. 12 more hostages have returned to israel, after being freed by hamas, in exchange for 30 palestinian prisoners as talks take place to extend the temporary ceasefire in gaza. 41 construction workers trapped for two weeks in a collapsed tunnel in india are said to be in good health after finally being rescued. the fight for "gracie's law". the parents of 23—year—old gracie spinks, who was killed by an ex—colleague, are campaigning for tougher action to tackle

stalking. the competition watchdog says that shoppers might be getting a raw deal as branded product manufacturers on essential groceries i have put their prices up more than they needed to because of rising costs making bigger profits as a result. in sport, the remarkable rise of jude bellingham. we find out how the 20—year—old footballer is creating quite the buzz after his move to real madrid. i frosty and i real madrid. ifrosty and i even real madrid. i frosty and i even snowy start to the day for some but even though it is colder out there for some of you, a dry and sunny day ahead. all of the details on breakfast. it's wednesday 29th november. more hostages and prisoners in israel and gaza have been released overnight as talks continue to extend the temporary ceasefire. a spokesman for the israeli government said that it would be open to an extension of the truce under the current

hostage—prisoner exchange agreement. the us president, joe biden, says extending the conflict in gaza would only play into the ideology of hamas — which is designated a terrorist group by the uk government. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega reports. back in israel. after more than 50 days in captivity, the latest group of hostages freed by hamas. ten israelis, and two thai nationals. they included ditza who is 84, and mother and daughter gabriela and mia and their dog bella, who was apparently kidnapped with them. 75—year—old ada sagi was also freed. this is her son speaking moments before the release. we are shaking with excitement. it was hard to contain, so much focus of the last 53 days were all about this moment.

81 hostages have now returned to israel. and details have started to emerge of how they were treated in captivity. translation: today we heard l the shocking testimonies of how 12—year—old eitan was forced to watch gore videos from october 7th, and was beaten by terrorists. he's only 12 years old. in return, more palestinians were released from israeli jails. 180 have now been freed, women and teenagers. there wasjubilation in ramallah in the occupied west bank as they returned home. translation: indescribable joy. ifeel like i have escaped from death by coming out of the interrogation cell after spending a month there. the prison was extremely harsh, and thank god that i was released from the prison. we left behind many prisoners and i hope they will also be released. in gaza, the pause in the fighting is a chance to assess the damage.

but the humanitarian crisis continues. aid agencies have warned of hunger and disease amid shortages of water, food and petrol. the ceasefire is holding but people in gaza wonder for how long the guns will stay silent. hugo bachega, bbc news, jerusalem. hugo bachega joins us now from jerusalem. hugo, what are you hearing this morning? things quite optimistic that the ceasefire could be extended a bit? , . ., . that the ceasefire could be extended abit? ,i . ., ., ., a bit? yes, jon. we had from an israeli government _ a bit? yes, jon. we had from an| israeli government spokesperson saying that they are hopeful that this ceasefire could be extended and hamas has indicated that they are open to that possibility. yesterday there was a meeting of intelligence chiefs from egypt, the us, israel, in qatar, and they were discussing the possible terms of this

extension. one of the possibilities is that the next phase of this deal could see the first group of men or military personnel being released. it will be interesting to see whether hamas will have any kind of extra demand to release israeli officers. around 160 people remain in captivity in gaza, and they have been there for more than 50 days now. today we are expecting another group of israeli captives to be freed by hamas, the israeli government has confirmed that they have received a list with the names of the people who are expected to be freed. and theirfamilies have been notified, and again, for every israeli citizen freed it, we are expecting to see three palestinian palestinian prisoners being released from israeli jails. obviously the extension of this truce means that more aid is getting into gaza, desperately needed aid. yesterday we

had a warning from the world health organization that because of the desperate situation there, if the health system is not repaired quickly, more people could die from diseases in gaza. {lilia quickly, more people could die from diseases in gaza.— diseases in gaza. 0k, hugo, thank ou ve diseases in gaza. 0k, hugo, thank you very much _ diseases in gaza. 0k, hugo, thank you very much for _ diseases in gaza. 0k, hugo, thank you very much for that _ diseases in gaza. 0k, hugo, thank you very much for that update - diseases in gaza. 0k, hugo, thank you very much for that update this | you very much for that update this morning. what else do we need to know, what is happening this morning, luxmy? jon, thank you. the covid inquiry will hear from both the former health secretary sajid javid and the former deputy dominic raab today. yesterday, cabinet minister michael gove gave evidence and apologised to bereaved families for errors made by the government during the pandemic. our correspondent ellie price has this report. she is outside the inquiry. what can we expect to hear from those politicians speaking today? i think we will aet politicians speaking today? i think we will get a _ politicians speaking today? i think we will get a bit _ politicians speaking today? i think we will get a bit more _ politicians speaking today? i think we will get a bit more about - politicians speaking today? i think we will get a bit more about how. we will get a bit more about how those decisions were made right at the heart of things, because this is ministers right at the heart of things weak. if they we heard from

michael gove, he was part of the so—called quad that involved him, the former health secretary matt hancock, the former chancellor rishi sunak and their boss borisjohnson. i think that apology was significant, it's the first time still serving minister has apologised for failures of the government around the time, about the timing of lockdown, the impact on children, test and trace and ppe. the first time we have had an admission of those failures and an apology. latertoday admission of those failures and an apology. later today we will hear from dominic raab, the former deputy prime minister who was in effect leading the country officially while borisjohnson was in hospital with covid at the time. no doubt the inquiry will want to hear about how that worked. don't forget dominic robert subsequently resigned following bullying accusations so i suspect they will drill down into what we have heard about this toxic culture right into the centre of government. this afternoon we are due to hearfrom sajid government. this afternoon we are due to hear from sajid javid, government. this afternoon we are due to hearfrom sajid javid, the health secretary who took over from hann —— matt hancock at the tail end of the pack —— pandemic. potentially

more interesting is his time as chancellor, he resigned after a very public row with dominic cummings in february 2020 and i suspect he will have something to say about boris johnson's top aid. beg have something to say about boris johnson's top aid.— johnson's top aid. beg you, ellie. -- | johnson's top aid. beg you, ellie. -- i thank — johnson's top aid. beg you, ellie. -- i thank you. — johnson's top aid. beg you, ellie. -- i thank you, ellie. _ 41 workers who'd been trapped in a tunnel in northern india for more than two weeks have been pulled free. the workers have been taken to hospital for checks. it was one of the country's biggest ever rescue operations. the men had been trapped for 17 days. the inquest opens today into the four teenagers who died in a crash in north wales earlier this month. jevon hirst, harvey owen, wilf fitchett and hugo morris, from shrewsbury, were found in an overturned, partially submerged car in gwyneth on 24th november. the car had been spotted following a major search to find the teenagers after they were declared missing during a camping trip.

britain and greece are embroiled in an escalating diplomatic row, after rishi sunak cancelled a meeting with the greek prime minister. the dispute is over these, the parthenon sculptures also known as the elgin marbles, and once part of the acropolis in ancient athens. our europe correspondent nick beake is in athens for us. this row is rumbling on, is there any sign of it coming to an end? good morning, luxmy. not at the moment. more than 2000 years ago they built the parthenon just at the top of the acropolis, we can see it looking out over greece this morning, overathens, looking out over greece this morning, over athens, the capital. more than 200 years since part of it was taken back to the uk, what became known as the elgin marbles because they were taken by lord elgin. the sense of injustice that a lot of greeks feel about this

continues to this day. in the past half an hour, the greek foreign minister has been meeting his counterparts, and he said that he had a conversation yesterday with lord cameron, the british foreign secretary, and in that meeting of the greek foreign secretary said they were able to discuss the matter and he said the reunification of the sculptures is a claim based notjust on history and justice but on cultural value, and he wants to work with the uk on this. but working with the uk on this. but working with the uk on this at the moment is pretty tricky because there is this big spat. the greeks were really upset that rishi sunak cancelled this meeting at downing street that he was going to have with the greek prime minister, lots of people saw that as disrespectful. when you put it to people here that the marbles are in a safe place in london in the british museum, they don't buy that, they want to see them back here. they say it's a really integral part of their history, their culture, and they should be back here in athens. thank you, nick beake.

sir eltonjohn will address mps this evening at westminster to urge ministers to do more to hit a 2030 target of eliminating new hiv cases in england. it comes as more than 580 previously undiagnosed cases have been identified by a pioneering new testing scheme. under the scheme anyone having a blood test in selected hospital a&e units has also been tested for hiv, hepatitis b and hepatitis c unless they opted out. within the past hour, a review has been announced at a supermarket loyalty schemes. let's find out more from then. good morning. we have all got one of those loyalty cards, what more has come out of these schemes? the competition watchdog has said it has got concerns about whether the growth of these loyalty schemes means that cheaper prices are only

available to customers who are happy to sign up to them. this has become an increasing trend as you say, most major supermarkets, their supermarkets have a loyalty scheme and you can only access the cheapest prices and promotions on good if you are willing to sign up to them and in some cases that means data on your shopping habits and the products you buy being shared with the retailer. this is after the competition watchdog looked at the prices of essential grocery items, and found that branded product manufacturers have been making bigger profits at a time when food prices have been rising. they found that, yes, their costs in producing goods have gone up because of high energy prices for example, but the manufacturers of branded products have put their prices up even more than what was necessary to meet his extra costs so as a result they have been making bigger profits. when it came to supermarket own brand and supermarket label items, they said

that consumers can be confident they are getting a good deal, shops having to compete on price in order to win and keep customers.- to win and keep customers. thank ou, for to win and keep customers. thank you. forthat- _ to win and keep customers. thank you, for that. apparently - to win and keep customers. thank you, for that. apparently we - to win and keep customers. thank you, for that. apparently we can l to win and keep customers. thank. you, for that. apparently we can all vote in this people's choice awards. let's have a look at some of the incredible pictures that are shortlisted for the wildlife photographer of the year people's choice award. this was taken in norway. it shows a polar bear making a bed out of floating ice. quite timely this morning giving the weather. meanwhile in kenya there's this image of a lion cub being groomed by two lionesses. that is the life, isn't it? and very pampered! and from australia we have this picture of a mudskipper fish defending its territory against a trespassing crab. the winning photograph will be announced in february.

asjohn as john —— as jon asjohn —— asjon said, we can all vote. i think the weather is more polar bear than might skip this morning! —— than might skip! temperatures well below freezing right now, some waking up with a dusting of snow, we have seen some snow showers through the night, it is causing a few problems than roads. a little bit of fog as well, here are the showers peppering eastern fringes of north—east england, also part of norfolk, south and north—east scotland especially. a few rain showers towards the west, sleet mixing in northern ireland for a short while but showers will fade and then re—emerge back towards part of devon and cornwall later in the day. the breeze will be picking up.

away from the stronger winds in the north and east, whether showers will continue, light winds for many of you and once the sun is out properly, it will feel all right. still pretty chilly out there, most places two to five celsius. a cold and to the day, a cold night tonight. the shift in wind direction means the wintry showers will push inland towards central and eastern scotland and northern england so a few more of you might wake up to a bit of snow tomorrow morning. a cold start tomorrow but for many it will be dry and bright. thank you. a coroner has said there is a "postcode lottery" for stalking victims, after the inquest into the death of a woman killed by her ex—colleague. 23—year—old gracie spinks was murdered by michael sellers in 2021. now, the coroner who led the inquest said victims in some parts of the uk

don't get enough support. our midlands correspondent navtej johal has this report. she was beautiful, always laughing, singing. dancing, doing, i don't know, always up to something. gracie spinks loved family, horses and music. but at the age ofjust 23, her life was cruelly cut short. she was killed by her colleague, michael sellers. he'd become obsessed with her and was later dismissed by their employer when she complained about his behaviour. the inquest into her death heard that he'd previously harassed several other female colleagues. it's got worse and worse, and i'm just worried that, you know, the next time it happens to someone else, he might kidnap someone. after this 101 call from gracie, where she told police of her fears,

officers spoke to sellers, but took no further action. then in may 2021, a bag containing weapons was found in derbyshire, near where gracie kept her horse and was reported to the police. but they didn't investigate further. after gracie's death, it emerged it belonged to michael sellers. anna white, who found the bag, says she was shocked that police didn't do more. that girl would more than likely still be here if they had done what they should have done. just basic stuff that they didn't do. they didn't do anything. six weeks later, sellers stabbed gracie to death. he then killed himself. her parents believed the police's failings contributed to her death. derbyshire constabulary's handling of the case is disgraceful, to be honest, i'm appalled at the amount of inactivity in investigating. the inquest found that gracie had been unlawfully killed. there were significant failures

throughout both gracie's report of stalking and the way in which the findings of the bag were dealt with. put simply, as a force, we failed gracie. and for that, i can only offer my own and the force's most sincere apologies. an inquest into the death of michael sellers concluded that he died by suicide to avoid accountability. despite the conclusions, gracie's killing continues to haunt those who loved her. the coroner has since published a prevention of future death report. in it, he outlined six areas of concern for derbyshire police, including the need for the force to improve its knowledge of stalking investigations, note taking and risk assessments. the home office and derbyshire police have 56 days to respond to the report. navteonhal, bbc news. we're joined now by gracie's parents, alison ward

could avoid poorer outcomes. we really need to see that change because if we don't get that right and if we don't make a difference for black, asian and ethnic minority women then i think we are fundamentally failing in fulfilling the founding principles of our national health service. the met is appealing to londoners to be vigilant over christmas. calls to it's anti—terror hotline have doubled since the attacks by hamas on israel on 7th october. the force says there's no evidence of a specific threat—but they're working in a "heightened state of readiness." a paramedic is calling for abuse against staff to stop after they were pushed out of an ambulance. the london ambulance service released footage of the incident which happened outside the chelsea and westminster hospital earlier this year. the patient was arrested at the scene and later convicted. from early next year,

londoners will be able to order a black cab on the uber app. the company says a "small number" of drivers have already signed up — and hopes to recruit several hundred by january. but the licensed taxi drivers' association, which represents more than 10,000 members, said it was not consulted and joining would be "sulleying" the trade. to the tubes now. the central and elizabeth lines have minor delays and the piccadilly line has severe delays. now it's certainly cold out there — let's get your weather with gemma plumb. good morning. it's set to be another cold day today with that cold weather continuing as we go through the rest of this week. it is going to be dry for many of us, though, we should see some sunshine developing. this morning it's starting off on a cloudy note, but that cloud should thin and break as we go through the day, particularly into the afternoon, to give us some spells of sunshine. and it should stay dry for many of us as well through the course of the day today. it will be a cold day, though, with highs around four or five degrees. this evening and overnight it will stay dry with those clear skies continuing.

that does mean it's going to be a cold and frosty night for most of us. temperatures for many will be below freezing, but we will be bringing in more clouds as we go through towards the end of the night there. so thursday, once again looks as though it will be a cloudy start to the day. once again, it should be mostly dry for many of us. some sunshine breaking through, though, but staying cold. and that cold weather will be continuing as we go through into the weekend. some sunshine around, but the possibility that we could see a few showers. that's it — there's plenty more on our website. now it's back to luxmy and jon. i'll see you in half an hour. hello this is breakfast with luxmy gopal and jon kay. they've been competing for customers for years, but now uber and london's iconic black cabs are teaming up. the decision hasn't necessarily been a popular one — as ben is finding out for us.

he's at king's cross station this morning. good station this morning. morning, do we need to knot the good morning, do we need to knock on the window? you may want to jump into a cab rather than walk. the iconic london hackney carriages a familiar sight and you will be able to book through uberfrom familiar sight and you will be able to book through uber from january. it will be signing up black cab drivers and give passengers more choice to pocket and you can select it as a choice through the app. this is something that uber is really pushing. but the relationship it has with black cab drivers in london has been fraught. i tried this about nine years ago but it didn't really take off, they couldn't get enough drivers to take off. and it has had

problems by having its licence temporarily revoked by transport for london over safety issues, most recently in 2019. it is fair to say not all cab drivers are thrilled about this announcement. we can speak to howard, and that is his cap i have been sitting in to keep warm. you have been a cab driverfor 36 years in london? what are your misgivings, this could bring you thousands of new passages? it could do, but it thousands of new passages? it could do. but it is — thousands of new passages? it could do, but it is demeaning _ thousands of new passages? it could do, but it is demeaning to _ thousands of new passages? it could do, but it is demeaning to us - thousands of new passages? it could do, but it is demeaning to us to i do, but it is demeaning to us to link us with uber. we have been serving the public for over 300 years with a gold standard service. uber need does more than three need them but it gives them an air of respectability to have our taxes on there. , , respectability to have our taxes on there. i , . , ., there. they said he will be able to ick u- there. they said he will be able to pick up metered _ there. they said he will be able to pick up metered fares _ there. they said he will be able to pick up metered fares and - there. they said he will be able to pick up metered fares and you i there. they said he will be able to i pick up metered fares and you won't pay any commission to uber for six months, so they think it is a winning situation?— months, so they think it is a winning situation? months, so they think it is a winnina situation? , . winning situation? they may say that and start with — winning situation? they may say that and start with the _

for the first time in 20 years could end in controversey. it was over a questionable penalty last night. had it not been given and scored by kylian mbappe, then their hopes of reaching the knockouts would remain in their hands. deciding to award but as a handball, subsequently giving the penalty and how costly could it prove for newcastle? there was a long delay and ali mccoy saying it was never a penalty. absolutely robbed, mate. absolutely robbed. irlat absolutely robbed, mate. absolutely robbed. ., . i absolutely robbed, mate. absolutely robbed. ., ., i , absolutely robbed, mate. absolutely robbed. ., . i , , robbed. not a penalty, it hits his shoulder. we _ robbed. not a penalty, it hits his shoulder. we go _ robbed. not a penalty, it hits his shoulder. we go again _ robbed. not a penalty, it hits his shoulder. we go again and i robbed. not a penalty, it hits his shoulder. we go again and beat| shoulder. we go again and beat milan — shoulder. we go again and beat milan. , ., , milan. eight minutes of stoppage time, milan. eight minutes of stoppage time. never _ milan. eight minutes of stoppage time, never was. _ milan. eight minutes of stoppage time, never was. penalty, - milan. eight minutes of stoppage time, never was. penalty, it- milan. eight minutes of stoppage l time, never was. penalty, it never time, neverwas. penalty, it never was _ time, neverwas. penalty, it never was. happy— time, neverwas. penalty, it never was. happywith_ time, neverwas. penalty, it never was. happy with the _ time, neverwas. penalty, it never

the most scored by any real madrid player in the first 15 games. and it's creating a buzz amongst fans the world over, as i've been finding out. it all started here. i think he's incredible. he's a great player, he can do anything. j he's certainly one of the best players in the world at the minute. he is tenacious and he's a nice guy. notjust a smashing player, but a lovely young man. i a future england captain to be. jude bellingham, what a player, what a legend. how much do you smile when you think aboutjude bellingham? quite a lot. he's a generational talent, he'sjude bellingham. from birmingham city to borussia dortmund and now real madrid.

you know, it wasn't a case of the other teams are bad who is this? jude bellingham. let me guess... hm, bellingham. bellingham. nah, nah, nah, nah. jude bellingham. and i think we're going to find a few more fans inside here, the santiago bernabeu, the home of real madrid. he's just a great player and hejust makes... he just makes everything look really easy. no wonder they're selling so many of these. question is, do we go shirt or scarf? i think scarf. and it's notjust shirts he's selling, but newspapers, too. it's impossible to find a case likejude. only three months in madrid?

and he has already like ten covers of marca. impossible to find a case likejude. no other footballer�*s ever had that? no, no one. the rolling stones have even been to see him play haven't they? yes, they're wearing clasico watching jude. the big game against barcelona? yeah, against barcelona and probably jude was their rock and roll, the rock star number one of real madrid that day, yes. into modric... bellingham scores again. bellingham gets a double on his clasico debut. victor, you used to play for real madrid. isjude bellingham, the new rock star of real? definitely, it's outstanding. it's amazing, he's breaking all the records and in very, very few weeks. everybody is realising that he's a leader. so he's not asking for nothing, everybody�*s coming to him. such has been his impact these fans have flown all the way from birmingham to spain to see him play, as i found out in this irish bar in madrid.

we sat there and we wanted something to look forward to. we were mulling it over and like we both were in there talking about football, talking aboutjude and we wnt, let's go to madrid. so from birmingham to real madrid, are you going to be doing this every week now? i think after this i will be watching real madrid a lot more. i mean, look, i've got to taste their balti pies first and then we'll go from there. and guy you actually played football againstjude bellingham's dad? yes, sunday league, sunday league, warwick miners. he probably won't remember, but yes, i played against him a few times. and that's just the beginning. you sell a lot of these? yeah. a lot of these. yeah. very popular? yeah, these are the most. bellingham and vinicius? but i think more bellingham. you sell more bellingham than any others? can you do the celebration? eduado, you have been

to every single real madrid home game since 1995. so you know how the english players have have settled here at the club? has anybody done it like jude bellingham ? not even close. jude has been impressive from day one, and he's exactly the type of player that real madrid fans adore. he is the guy who comes, who shows up when it's needed to. he scores in the final minute of the game when you think everything is is done. and suddenly he rescues real madrid from a defeat. the fans love him. it's love, adoration, it's... he's become an icon in three months. and that love is drawing fans to madrid from all over the world. you're a fan from america supporting a guy from the uk, i mean, this is global sport? yeah, it's a global phenomenon, correct, yes.

and i couldn't be happier, i've got two shirts like one in black and one in home. so in slovakia, people have heard aboutjude bellingham. yeah, of course. our flight was like 6:14 in the morning. it appears as if the whole world is trying to catch a glimpse of football's newest star. as they are all over the world with fans watching onin la... new york... even morocco... from his roots in birmingham... ..to madrid. jude bellingham is golden boy. amazing, amazing. it has been a remarkable rise. bellingham.

for the best young player on the planet. wherever in the world, bellingham mania is here to stay. # hey, jude... # take a sad song and make it better. it is unbelievable what he has managed to achieve in such a short space of time. managed to achieve in such a short space of time-— space of time. more front page covers than _ space of time. more front page covers than any _ space of time. more front page covers than any other - space of time. more front page covers than any other real i space of time. more front page i covers than any other real madrid player in history and more goals in his first matches. he think about the great players who have played there, it is such a global club, such a huge following and fans are travelling from all over the world. from birmingham at the age of 16, are now at 20, real madrid, he is becoming the focal point in the team. the whole world it seems, is taking notice.

it is hearing the spanish journalists saying we have never seen anything like this before, that put it in perspective for me. we think of the names that are played at the club and he is doing it at 20 years old like he has just played at the local park. it will only grow. we got the sense of it from the pc did there, the dancing fans at the end. thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. another lovely frosty background with the sunrise behind it? yes, it will be a day of sunshine but there are exceptions with a few fog patches around north west england, north west midlands and snow for some. this is in south tyneside, south shields in the north—east of england. some big flakes of snow falling and the dusting here and there. problems on the north york moors at the moment are more in the way of snow pushing

into the north—east of scotland around aberdeenshire and inland areas of murray. away from that, mostly dry, a few ice and sleet showers in northern ireland. rain showers in northern ireland. rain showers in northern ireland. rain showers in south wales, mostly dry here at the moment and indeed the channel islands, a few showers. cornwall, south devon could turn wet. those flurries continue in the north and east of scotland and the far north—east of england but most stay dry today. light winds, so not feeling too bad in the sunshine but it will be a cold day, strongest of the winds across the coastal strip and towards the far north of scotland. an added wind—chill for these areas. temperatures down where we would expect at this stage in november. it will lead into another cold night with the cold are in place and outbreaks of rain developing in the south—west and over the moors we could see a light covering of sleet and snow into tomorrow morning. more in the way of snow across northern england and eastern scotland tomorrow but a cold

start under cold day ahead as well. that is how it's working, back to you both. stay inside any chocolate. i am all for that. you have come to the right place, my friend. we're about to enter a world of pure imagination, filled with all the chocolate and sweets you could want. but it might not be quite as you remember. the new film focuses on the origin story of young willy wonka — with timothy shalamay in its starring role alongside matt lucas, olivia colman and a very memorable role for hugh grant. wonka had its uk premiere last night. noor nanji was there. ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you a brand new contraption of my creation? willy wonka, back on the big screen. let me ask you... this time it's the story of his humble beginnings and how he became a world famous chocolate maker, beloved by so many. my name is willy wonka!

and the title role, it's timothee chalamet. prepare to be amazed. the 27—year—old dune star becomes the third actor to step into the shoes of the iconic inventor after gene wilder in 1971 and johnny depp in 2005. on the red carpet, crowds of fans queued for hours to get a sight of the stars. well, some fans are just here to soak up the atmosphere, but others are desperate to try and catch a glimpse of one man in particular, timothee chalamet, who has become hollywood's latest heart—throb. people are very protective over characters they love, particularly willy wonka. they don't want to see people mess it up. but we were in great hands with paul king. and it's not the story of charlie and the chocolate factory. it's a different story. it's the story of how willy wonka became willy wonka. and i think we did a greatjob. starring alongside him is 14—year—old calah lane. she plays a young orphan girl noodle who befriends wonka. i'm just, i'm so excited and ijust can't believe it. i got an idea.

where do we start? what was the best thing about the whole experience? i mean, just being on set and just having, you know, getting like a second family, basically, with everybody. chocolate of the world. ooh! here's another heart—throb. now an oompa loompa. it's hugh grant, but not as you've ever seen him before as he takes on the role of lofty, complete with an orange face and green hair. i will have you know that i am a perfectly respectable size for an oompa loompa. # oompa loompa, dumpedy—dee. but it's something of a departure for grant, who's best known for playing quintessentially english gentlemen in films like notting hill and love actually. huh! but his casting faced criticism over the decision not to give the role to an actor with dwarfism. well, it's obviously something because you said, "huh." director paul king of paddington fame explained the decision. well, i think the great thing about the oompa loompas is they're extraordinary creatures.

and dahl describes them as a no higher than my knee or about the size of a medium sized doll. and we tried to use the iconic look that they came up with in the 1971 movie with the green hair and the orange skin and sort of merged that with the way dahl described them in a way that i think that maybe they would have done had they had the technology of today. the star—studded cast also includes oscar winner olivia colman as villainous shopkeeper mrs scrubbit, mr bean actor rowan atkinson as a priest and american comedian and actor keegan—michael key as the chief of police. it was an honour, an absolute honour to be to be asked to be a part of this movie and to be a part of this legacy of roald dahl�*s creation. you're going to get more than a bonk on the head. i think that this certainly exists in the spirit of what he created. making chocolate, of course. roald dahl�*s book has been adored by generations of children and adults alike. film—makers will be hoping wonka can repeat the success. noor nanji, bbc news.

it is quite hard to shake off the nostalgia for the first version you watched, in my case the gene wilder one, but that does look intriguing. it does. wonka is out in uk cinemas next friday. it's a classic movie and a hugely successful stage show, now edward scissorhands is back in theatres for the first time in nine years. based on the tim burton film, sir matthew bourne has choreographed the bittersweet story of a boy left alone in a strange new world. let's take a look.

ballets, it is good to find something new. it is a genuinely new fairy tale, with the lovely message. because it is such a beloved cult classic for a lot of people, was it a bit more challenging to try and adapt it because you have that reverence for the original movie? it is a much loved film and the people involved, tim burton, director at the composer and caroline thomson who wrote the screenplay, it is a personal project. i had to meet them and get them on side, in a way. i don't think i would have been as brave as i was with it had caroline not agree to work on the scenario with me. ifelt i had the permission of the time. that version is quite different from the film, but it has the spirit of the film, yes. itrufhat the spirit of the film, yes. what about the spirit _ the spirit of the film, yes. what about the spirit of _ the spirit of the film, yes. what about the spirit of edward i about the spirit of edward scissorhands himself, your character, difficult character, he doesn't say much? it is character, difficult character, he doesn't say much?— doesn't say much? it is a pretty iconic role _ doesn't say much? it is a pretty iconic role as _ doesn't say much? it is a pretty iconic role as well. _ doesn't say much? it is a pretty iconic role as well. we - doesn't say much? it is a pretty iconic role as well. we were i
