0:00:04 > 0:00:07The Health Secretary says sorry to NHS patients who've
0:00:07 > 0:00:11had their operations delayed because of winter pressures.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14I want to apologise for the fact that we have had, regrettably,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18to postpone a number of operations.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Theresa May rejects claims that the health service
0:00:21 > 0:00:26is in crisis, but admits the delays are frustrating for patients.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29We'll be looking at the impact on patients and asking what it tells
0:00:29 > 0:00:31us about the pressures on the NHS.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37Also this lunchtime...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Storm Eleanor has been battering large part of the UK, leaving
0:00:40 > 0:00:42thousands of homes without power.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Winds reached 100 miles an hour,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46bringing down trees and power lines and causing flooding
0:00:46 > 0:00:47and travel disruption.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50All of a sudden, the sky just lit up and these power
0:00:50 > 0:00:54lines touched each other, and it was just like Guy Fawkes.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59It was sparks, it was unbelievable.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02President Trump starts the New Year with a string of Twitter messages -
0:01:02 > 0:01:05boasting to the North Korean leader about the size of his
0:01:05 > 0:01:08"nuclear button".
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Sweet news for the music industry, the number of streams,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15downloads and sales in the UK last year rose at its fastest rate
0:01:15 > 0:01:16for nearly 20 years.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Barcelona will bid imminently for Philippe Coutinho.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Liverpool turned down three offers for their Brazilian
0:01:25 > 0:01:27forward in the summer, although as yet they
0:01:27 > 0:01:28haven't had any new bids.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has apologised to patients affected
0:01:53 > 0:01:55by a decision to postpone tens of thousands of operations
0:01:55 > 0:01:58in England until next month.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Theresa May acknowledged the decision is frustrating
0:02:00 > 0:02:03for people, but said the NHS is better prepared this
0:02:03 > 0:02:05year than ever before.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07But senior doctors say pressure has escalated rapidly
0:02:07 > 0:02:09over the festive period.
0:02:09 > 0:02:18Our health correspondent Catherine Burns has the details.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Anna is waiting for an operation that is going to change her life.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Her facial nerve was removed when she had cancer seven years ago. She
0:02:25 > 0:02:29is due to have an appointment to plan facial reconstruction surgery
0:02:29 > 0:02:33next week, but is expected to be cancelled.I was hoping I would have
0:02:33 > 0:02:37the surgery maybe at the end of January beginning of February, but I
0:02:37 > 0:02:41have a feeling it will be knocked back to April or May.She's due to
0:02:41 > 0:02:45have the surgery at Queens medical Centre in Nottingham, but it is on
0:02:45 > 0:02:48high alert and is asking people to stay away from A&E. Several other
0:02:48 > 0:02:52hospitals around the country have similar stories and now the British
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Medical Association is calling this winter crisis. A warning from the
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Royal College of emergency medicine that this is absolutely affecting
0:03:00 > 0:03:07patient safety. And so NHS England has taken action. Before Christmas,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10it had already told hospitals they could cancel all nonurgent
0:03:10 > 0:03:13operations and outpatient appointments for the first two weeks
0:03:13 > 0:03:17of the new Year. Now it has extended that until the end of the month.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22With respect to patients, I want to apologise for the fact that we have
0:03:22 > 0:03:28had, regrettably, to postpone a number of operations.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30We are trying to do it differently this year.
0:03:30 > 0:03:40Last year, we cancelled a lot of operations at the
0:03:41 > 0:03:44very last minute, so people got a call the day before to say their
0:03:44 > 0:03:45operation wasn't going ahead.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47That is obviously very undesirable, so we
0:03:47 > 0:03:49wanted to do it in a much more planned way.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52But our hope is that the total number of cancelled
0:03:52 > 0:03:54operations will be significantly higher this year than last year.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57During this time, hospitals will not be penalised if they put patients on
0:03:57 > 0:03:59mixed six wards. It operations for cancer and other times and stiff
0:03:59 > 0:04:02conditions will still go ahead.We know the system is going to get
0:04:02 > 0:04:05difficult. Rather than cancelling patients at the very last minute and
0:04:05 > 0:04:09having patients queueing, we want to free up the bed capacity that would
0:04:09 > 0:04:12normally be used for those planned care patients and make that
0:04:12 > 0:04:24available for our sick patients that are in the A&E departments.She does
0:04:24 > 0:04:26feel frustrated, but thinks things could be worse.I am not really in
0:04:26 > 0:04:29much pain, and I can carry on with life quite well. But I do feel very
0:04:29 > 0:04:32sorry for people that are waiting for hip operations or knee joints,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34because they are dealing with quite a lot of pain.Authorities in
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland say they are facing higher demand
0:04:36 > 0:04:39from patients as well. Here we are, three days into the New Year, with
0:04:39 > 0:04:43questions about what could happen if the weather got colder or the
0:04:43 > 0:04:46increase in flu cases becomes an outbreak. Catherine Burns, BBC News.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Hugh Pym is here. You have just been speaking to the Health Secretary.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58The Prime Minister has spoken this morning. What does this tell us
0:04:58 > 0:05:02about the government's approach to this?It is interesting that the
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Transport Secretary was abroad during the rail fare increase
0:05:07 > 0:05:10situation yesterday, wide criticism of that. Here we have the Health
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Secretary Andy Prime Minister coming out to talk about the state of the
0:05:13 > 0:05:19NHS after these very widespread reports of extreme pressure, doctors
0:05:19 > 0:05:22tweeting and talking about hospitals being in Third World conditions and
0:05:22 > 0:05:26overcrowding. I think they felt they had to take this head on. The Health
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has apologised to patients. Theresa May
0:05:30 > 0:05:33has said it is disappointing and frustrating for patients. They are
0:05:33 > 0:05:37making this point, as we heard in Catherine's piece, that it is best
0:05:37 > 0:05:41to announce this sort of thing now, through NHS England, to take
0:05:41 > 0:05:44anything that is not urgent out of the equation so that senior doctors
0:05:44 > 0:05:50can be used to help with emergency care and assessing patients, to get
0:05:50 > 0:05:53that right for January, rather than to stumble on and somehow end up in
0:05:53 > 0:05:57a situation where you end up with a lot of last-minute, very frustrating
0:05:57 > 0:06:00cancellations anyway. I think the problem is that they have played
0:06:00 > 0:06:03that card now. What if things do get worse? They have said that the
0:06:03 > 0:06:07reason that they made the announcement yesterday, NHS England,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11is that they have seen an increase in flu cases, there are fears of a
0:06:11 > 0:06:15major outbreak. What if things get worse? What do they do next? I think
0:06:15 > 0:06:19it does illustrate the level of concern, at a very high level, that
0:06:19 > 0:06:23things could yet get worse across hospitals before they get better.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Labour are making the point that it shows how out of touch the
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Government is, they are saying they are frustrated and disappointed when
0:06:29 > 0:06:33it is them, Labour says, that has not funded the NHS or social care
0:06:33 > 0:06:36adequately, and they say there is a lot of explaining that needs to
0:06:36 > 0:06:37come.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Storm Eleanor has swept across the UK, causing
0:06:39 > 0:06:41flooding, damage to homes, and disruption to motorists.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Gusts of up to 100 miles per hour were reported in the Pennines,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46and thousands of homes are without power across
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Northern Ireland, Wales, the Midlands and South West England.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Several major bridges have been closed because of high winds,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and there are numerous reports of fallen trees blocking roads.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Dan Johnson reports.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06It was a wild, wet and noisy night in the name of Storm Eleanor.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07In the Channel Islands, Jersey's seafront
0:07:07 > 0:07:13took a pounding under strong winds and surging tides.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Ireland felt the storm's force first.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19This is Galway, on the west coast, where high seas
0:07:19 > 0:07:22meant flooding.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Eleanor also took power from thousands of homes.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29The storm then swirled across the UK.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Huge waves in Anglesey.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Hailstones in Blackpool.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41And here's what people were dealing with this morning.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Trees down, bits of buildings crashed through cars, some vehicles
0:07:44 > 0:07:48off the road altogether.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Today has been really hazardous on the roads.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56We had a record number of call-outs earlier this morning, from cars
0:07:56 > 0:08:04being damaged from debris falling from trees, branches etc.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Other the cars just wouldn't start because of
0:08:06 > 0:08:08all the rain, with wet engines, flat batteries.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11In terms of breakdowns, it's been busy, but also in terms of
0:08:11 > 0:08:12driving conditions.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Many roads have been closed or blocked with fallen branches.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Aberystwyth was one of many places clearing up this morning. So was
0:08:19 > 0:08:27Belfast, where falling trees caused all sorts of problems.All of a
0:08:27 > 0:08:30sudden, the sky lit up, the power lines touch each other and it was
0:08:30 > 0:08:36just like Guy Fawkes. Sparks, it was unbelievable.Teams are still
0:08:36 > 0:08:40working to reconnect some electricity supplies. Disruption
0:08:40 > 0:08:45continues on railways and roads. At the worst has now passed.It is an
0:08:45 > 0:08:48improving picture as we go through the day. Storm Eleanor is sitting in
0:08:48 > 0:08:53the North Sea. We currently have strong gusty winds, 50 or 60 mph. As
0:08:53 > 0:08:57we go through the afternoon, the wind will ease up and we will see
0:08:57 > 0:09:01some sunny spells.Import --
0:09:01 > 0:09:03In Cornwall, part of Portreath's harbour wall was taken
0:09:03 > 0:09:04by the sea.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Buildings were also damaged and it wasn't quite clear
0:09:06 > 0:09:11what belonged were.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14across large parts of the country, there are severe weather warnings
0:09:14 > 0:09:18still in place across the rest of the afternoon.
0:09:18 > 0:09:24Our Ireland correspondent Chris Page is in Belfast.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Belfast is one of the areas affected. There is a clear up going
0:09:28 > 0:09:32on behind you. How is that going? Yes, a lot of hard work being
0:09:32 > 0:09:37carried out by those whose job it is to return Northern Ireland to normal
0:09:37 > 0:09:40after a bruising night. In this residential area of south Belfast,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43they have spent the morning cutting up a tree that had been lying across
0:09:43 > 0:09:48the road. As you can see, they have blocked the road and that has
0:09:48 > 0:09:51allowed specialist vehicles run by engineers from the Northern Ireland
0:09:51 > 0:09:55electricity networks to move up. They are unloading poles to replace
0:09:55 > 0:09:58the ones that were brought down during the storm and then they can
0:09:58 > 0:10:01work on bringing back the power lines which were brought down by
0:10:01 > 0:10:05strong wind. There was also pretty bad damage to somebody's garden
0:10:05 > 0:10:09fence. Pretty clear there was a risk to life last night when Storm
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Eleanor barrelled through Northern Ireland. Mainly Southern counties
0:10:12 > 0:10:18were affected, County Down, County Armagh and county fair manner. The
0:10:18 > 0:10:25strongest gust was on the south coast on a 90 mph. Most people
0:10:25 > 0:10:29heeded the official advice to stay indoors and they did not make any
0:10:29 > 0:10:32unnecessary journeys. Also the fact that the worst of the storm passed
0:10:32 > 0:10:36through during the night meant there were not too many people out and
0:10:36 > 0:10:41about. Thankfully there were not any injuries as a result. As you can
0:10:41 > 0:10:44see, still pretty pleasant. Still wet and windy and that is going to
0:10:44 > 0:10:48continue through the afternoon. The worst of Storm Eleanor has passed.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Thank you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53President Trump has said that his nuclear button is "much
0:10:53 > 0:10:55bigger and more powerful" than that of the
0:10:55 > 0:10:56North Korean leader.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58His comments, on Twitter, were the latest in an increasingly
0:10:58 > 0:11:02personal feud with Kim Jong-Un.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05They came as South Korea said the North had restored a hotline
0:11:05 > 0:11:07between the two governments, after a silence of nearly two years.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Our correspondent in Seoul, Sophie Long reports.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15This morning, in a broadcast on its state-run television,
0:11:15 > 0:11:16North Korea announced it would reopen an
0:11:16 > 0:11:19inter-Korean hotline.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22TRANSLATION:By upholding a decision by the leadership,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25we will make close contact with South Korea in a sincere
0:11:25 > 0:11:32and faithful manner.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34We will discuss working-level issues related to the dispatch
0:11:34 > 0:11:37of the Winter Olympics delegation.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Just after 3:30 Seoul time, the South Korean government
0:11:39 > 0:11:41announced that it had received a telephone call from the north,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44the first direct form of communication between the two
0:11:44 > 0:11:48countries for nearly two years.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It's hoped this could pave the way for high-level talks proposed
0:11:51 > 0:11:56by the South on Tuesday.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58If they go ahead, the two sides are expected to discuss
0:11:58 > 0:12:01the possibility of Pyongyang sending a delegation to the Winter Olympics,
0:12:01 > 0:12:07due to get under way in South Korea next month.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09The South Korean President, Moon Jae-in, has said
0:12:09 > 0:12:12the PyeongChang? games could mark a turning point and relieve tensions
0:12:12 > 0:12:14on the Korean peninsula, which are at their highest
0:12:14 > 0:12:21point in decades.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Kim Jong-un announced he was open to dialogue with South Korea
0:12:24 > 0:12:27in his New Year speech, which also had a defiant message
0:12:27 > 0:12:29for the United States.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35He said he had nuclear weapons and a button on his desk.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Today, the US President gave his response to that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40"Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime",
0:12:40 > 0:12:43President Trump tweeted, "please inform him that I too
0:12:43 > 0:12:45have a nuclear button, but it is a much bigger and more
0:12:45 > 0:12:52powerful one and my button works!"
0:12:52 > 0:12:54And there was scepticism about the moves towards dialogue
0:12:54 > 0:12:58between the two Koreas from the US State Department.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01We are very sceptical of Kim Jong-un's sincerity
0:13:01 > 0:13:04in sitting down and having talks.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Our policy hasn't changed.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10The South Korean's policy has not changed.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13But a key communication line is now open, so talks about higher-level
0:13:13 > 0:13:15talks could now take place.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Sophie Long, BBC News, Seoul.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Six people have been arrested on suspicion of being members
0:13:23 > 0:13:27of the banned far-right group National Action.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29They're being detained at addresses around the country.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Our home affairs correspondent June Kelly is here.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Tell us more about this?These arrests were said to be preplanned
0:13:39 > 0:13:43and intelligence led, and involved counterterrorism detectives from
0:13:43 > 0:13:48around the country. Five men in 20s have been detained at various
0:13:48 > 0:13:51addresses, in Cambridge, Banbury, Wolverhampton, Leicester in
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Stockport, and a woman of 37 was also arrested in Banbury. They are
0:13:55 > 0:13:59being held on suspicion of two offences, first of all the
0:13:59 > 0:14:02commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and also, secondly, suspicion of being members of the far right group
0:14:05 > 0:14:11National Action. National Action was banned by the Home Secretary in 2016
0:14:11 > 0:14:18and was denounced as racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic. The ban
0:14:18 > 0:14:23came six months after the murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox. Members of
0:14:23 > 0:14:27National Action have actually applauded her killing. Since the
0:14:27 > 0:14:31ban, we have had a number of arrests and some people have been charged.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35This morning, we have six more people detained. They are being held
0:14:35 > 0:14:38at a police station in the West Midlands.OK, thank you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The United States says it plans to call an emergency session
0:14:41 > 0:14:43of the UN Security Council to discuss the ongoing
0:14:43 > 0:14:45unrest in Iran.
0:14:45 > 0:14:4922 people have died in six days of anti-government demonstrations,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51which were initially in response to price rises and
0:14:51 > 0:14:53accusations of corruption.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Tens of thousands of people are taking part in pro-government
0:14:55 > 0:14:58demonstrations today, after the government said it
0:14:58 > 0:14:59would organise counter-rallies.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Richard Lister reports.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06After a week of anti-government protests, the regime responded today
0:15:06 > 0:15:11with rallies of its own.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12State television showed these marches
0:15:12 > 0:15:20taking place in cities around the country.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Some reports though suggest government workers
0:15:21 > 0:15:24were ordered to take part.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26By contrast, the demonstrations of discontent across Iran appear
0:15:26 > 0:15:30to have been spontaneous.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Triggered by high food prices and unemployment,
0:15:32 > 0:15:37they have become a defiant challenge to Iran's all-powerful clerics.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And while these outbursts have been relatively small,
0:15:39 > 0:15:44they have been widespread.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47This map using data from opponents of the regime, shows protests
0:15:47 > 0:15:49in almost every province including rural conservative areas once firmly
0:15:49 > 0:15:56behind the leadership.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00And Iran's leaders don't have a unified response.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05blamed outside forces.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09The government today was more conciliatory.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15The law and the government recognise the protests as the rights
0:16:15 > 0:16:18of citizens to send their messages to the authorities and make
0:16:18 > 0:16:22their voices heard.
0:16:22 > 0:16:31But this needs to be done within the framework of the law.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33What the regime wants to avoid is this.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35In 2009 a disputed presidential election brought
0:16:35 > 0:16:36millions onto the streets.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Leading to a violent crackdown by the authorities.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Washington is now shining a spotlight on Iran and calling
0:16:43 > 0:16:46an emergency session of the UN Security Council.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51The people of Iran are crying out for freedom.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54All freedom-loving people must stand with their cause.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56The international community made the mistake of failing
0:16:56 > 0:16:58to do that in 2009.
0:16:58 > 0:17:04We must not make that mistake again.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06This was Tehran last night.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08More than 20 protesters have died in the past week.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Hundreds more have been arrested.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12This simmering rage could evaporate, or it could boil over.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26The Health Secretary says sorry to NHS patients in England who've
0:17:26 > 0:17:30had their operations delayed because of winter pressures.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33And coming up - one last chance - England look to redeem their Ashes
0:17:33 > 0:17:39scorecard in the final test Down Under.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Coming up in sport.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44West Ham are investigating a confrontation between
0:17:44 > 0:17:48West Brom's Jake Livermore and home fans during at London Stadium.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50The midfielder was involved in a heated exchange

0:17:57 > 0:18:00A chef has received death threats after boasting online that she'd
0:18:00 > 0:18:05"spiked" a dish for a vegan customer at her restaurant.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Laura Goodman has since apologised and offered to resign,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and the restaurant has denied that meat was included in the food.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14But Trading Standards officials have begun an investigation.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Giles Latcham reports.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Police at Carlini's in Albrighton in Shropshire responding
0:18:21 > 0:18:24to death threats made online against Laura Goodman,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27co-owner and head chef.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32In the early hours of Sunday she posted in a closed Facebook
0:18:32 > 0:18:35group that she had just, "spiked a vegan".
0:18:35 > 0:18:41And that a "pious and judgmental vegan I'd spent all day cooking
0:18:41 > 0:18:43for has just gone to bed still believing she's a vegan.".
0:18:43 > 0:18:45There has been a storm online.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Her fiance and business partner is doing his best to quell it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50We have got the possibility of demonstrations outside
0:18:50 > 0:18:53the restaurants, we've had death threats.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57You know, all I can say is to those people who are active
0:18:57 > 0:19:00vegans and vegetarians, is listen to our side of the story.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Nothing happened here.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Nobody had anything with meat in it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08They say the "spiked" comments relate to one of the vegan diners
0:19:08 > 0:19:11ordering a pizza with cheese on it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Which Laura duly prepared.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18But the comments online include, "your behaviour as a chef
0:19:18 > 0:19:20towards vegans is sickening.".
0:19:20 > 0:19:22"Disgusting behaviour on the part of your chef...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Possibly illegal.".
0:19:25 > 0:19:27"What if that vegan was allergic to animal products?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28This is fraud.".
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I spoke briefly to Laura Goodman and she looked pale and exhausted.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36She said she was deeply sorry for the comments she posted, deeply
0:19:36 > 0:19:40distressed by the response to them.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Too distressed, she said, to appear on camera.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50A committed vegan from Telford says it's a question of trust.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Your initial thought is, oh my goodness, am I ever
0:19:52 > 0:19:54going to be able to trust a restaurant again?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58But also it makes you worry for other people who might have gone
0:19:58 > 0:20:01there who might have had an allergy or whatever.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04And you know, may well then suffer from some kind
0:20:04 > 0:20:07of symptom as a result of, you know, not being given
0:20:07 > 0:20:10what they thought they were having.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Food standards officials have begun an investigation.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17A new dish at Carlini's, humble pie.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Sales at the fashion chain Next went up unexpectedly over
0:20:23 > 0:20:24the Christmas period, with a particularly strong
0:20:24 > 0:20:26performance online.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Sales were up 1.5% - much better than the 0.3%
0:20:29 > 0:20:30fall it had expected.
0:20:30 > 0:20:40Our Business Editor Simon Jack is here.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45This has taken analysts by surprise. And the company, they told us sales
0:20:45 > 0:20:49would go down but they had gone up. People are looking for the first
0:20:49 > 0:20:54indications about the winners in Christmas and you look at the
0:20:54 > 0:21:02figures, a strong light, online performance offsetting a fall in
0:21:02 > 0:21:07in-store sales. So the most interesting comments were about
0:21:07 > 0:21:13inflation. The boss of Next said inflation of his clothing will go
0:21:13 > 0:21:18from 3% to 0% in the second half of the year. For most of last year
0:21:18 > 0:21:22prices have been going up faster than wages so you have had a big
0:21:22 > 0:21:26income squeezed. This is not food but some hint that that could turn
0:21:26 > 0:21:30around and we will all start feeling a bit better off in the second part
0:21:30 > 0:21:35of this year. That is good for all consumers and very good for
0:21:35 > 0:21:38retailers as well.Thank you.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40A homeless man who was hailed a "hero" for helping

0:21:45 > 0:21:47from victims of the attack.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Chris Parker appeared at Manchester Crown Court earlier -
0:21:49 > 0:21:52our correspondent Clare Fallon is there.
0:21:52 > 0:22:00What happened in court? After that bomb attack at Manchester Arena in
0:22:00 > 0:22:04May of last year Chris Parker was described as being a homeless hero.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I interviewed him on the night of the explosion and he described to me
0:22:08 > 0:22:12how he had run into the Fourier web explosion has happened and try to
0:22:12 > 0:22:16help some of the most seriously injured. But today at Corti pleaded
0:22:16 > 0:22:20guilty to stealing from some of the victims. He took a mobile phone from
0:22:20 > 0:22:26a 14-year-old girl who was seriously injured and also took a purse from a
0:22:26 > 0:22:31woman whose granddaughter was one of the 22 who were killed in the terror
0:22:31 > 0:22:34attacks at up to date his lawyer said he could only apologise for his
0:22:34 > 0:22:42appalling actions. He will be sentenced later this month.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48woman in a park in north London on Christmas Eve.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Kasim Lewis - who's 31 - is accused of killing Iuliana Tudos.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53She was found dead not far from her home in Finsbury
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Park on December 27th.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57At least 48 people have been been killed in Peru after a coach
0:22:57 > 0:23:00plummeted down a hundred metre cliff near the capital Lima.
0:23:00 > 0:23:0355 people were on board the bus, which landed upside down
0:23:03 > 0:23:05on a deserted beach.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09The accident happened on the notorious Devil's Turn bend
0:23:09 > 0:23:12of the Pacific coastal road.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15The Queen will share memories of her Coronation when she makes
0:23:15 > 0:23:17a rare appearance in a TV documentary, to be broadcast
0:23:17 > 0:23:22by the BBC on January 14th.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24The programme tells the story of the Crown Jewels,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26and the symbolic part they played in the ceremony.
0:23:26 > 0:23:33Our Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond is here.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Tell us more about what is in the documentary. The big focus is going
0:23:38 > 0:23:41to be Saint Edward 's crown, the Crown used at the coronation and
0:23:41 > 0:23:48only for that. The grant we are most used to seeing is the imperial State
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Crown used at the State Opening of Parliament and when the Queen leaves
0:23:52 > 0:23:56the Coronation. But Saint Edward 's crown, made of solid gold, and there
0:23:56 > 0:24:04you see the Queen commenting that she has been to the Coronation of
0:24:04 > 0:24:09her father in 1937 and her own Coronation and she herself says
0:24:09 > 0:24:14this, pretty remarkable. So something of a trip down memory lane
0:24:14 > 0:24:19for the Queen and seeing some of these jewels for the first time in a
0:24:19 > 0:24:23very long time. Most of the time they are at Windsor or the Tower of
0:24:23 > 0:24:28London. But here she is going to see them again.Many thanks.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Last year was a record year for music consumption in Britain.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Figures from the BPI, which represents the music industry,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35suggest the amount of music streamed, downloaded, or bought
0:24:35 > 0:24:38in the UK rose at its fastest rate for nearly 20 years.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Home grown artists such as Ed Sheeran and Little Mix
0:24:41 > 0:24:46accounted for eight out of ten of 2017's best selling albums.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Nina Warhurst has been looking at the sales trends.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53# I have no time...
0:24:53 > 0:24:552018 is set to be big for Francis Long.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57# Give it back...
0:24:57 > 0:25:03Releasing his first album on Manchester's buzzing music scene.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Because of the internet, he doesn't need the backing
0:25:05 > 0:25:07of a big label to be heard.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10# Give it back...
0:25:10 > 0:25:15If I finish a record, I've got the power to put it online
0:25:15 > 0:25:18immediately and everybody that is waiting for it can hear it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Whereas before, before the dawn of the internet you could say,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I would have to wait for someone to give me permission,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27wait for somebody to tell me that it is good enough for other
0:25:27 > 0:25:29people to hear.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Last year we streamed more music than ever, 68 billion songs.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37The equivalent of more than a thousand each.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Father Christmas brought it, and that is...
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Perhaps more surprising is how the tables have
0:25:41 > 0:25:44turned with vinyl records.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Some who had flirted with digital returned to their first love.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Just the beauty of having the record in your hand, I think.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55And looking after it, making sure it doesn't get scratched.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57So you like physically holding it?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Physically holding it, looking at the artwork on the covers,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03maybe reading the song lyrics as you are listening.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Vinyl sales were up an astonishing 26% on the year before
0:26:06 > 0:26:12with 4 million records sold.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14And the shape of the British music industry was helped
0:26:14 > 0:26:19by one Ed Sheeran.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21For the 13th year in a row, the number one
0:26:21 > 0:26:24artist was home-grown.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Today's news is encouraging for studios like this one
0:26:27 > 0:26:35in Manchester, which is home to a small record label.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37But there's still what is termed a value gap.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40That is a disparity between the amount of music
0:26:40 > 0:26:42that is being listened to, and the amount of money that
0:26:42 > 0:26:44that is generating for the industry.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48The consumption of music on video streaming platforms such as YouTube,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51who currently can hide behind these safe harbours in European law.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Which means they do not have to pay the same amount
0:26:53 > 0:26:56as even Spotify or Apple, Deezer or any of those.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59And that is a significant amount of revenue that is not getting
0:26:59 > 0:27:04through to artists or songwriters or labels and publishers.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08So artists like Francis Long wont be singing from the rooftops just yet.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11But our willingness to spend more on music as times get tighter does
0:27:11 > 0:27:15give the industry a little something to dance about.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Nina Warhurst, BBC News, in Manchester.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Spinner Mason Crane will make his England Test debut in the 5th
0:27:23 > 0:27:25and final Ashes Test in Sydney.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28He's in for Chris Woakes, who will miss the match through injury.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31England lost the first three Tests to surrender the Ashes,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35and drew the fourth.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Patrick Gearey reports from Sydney.
0:27:38 > 0:27:48There is a bit of Sydney Harbour side that's forever Teesside.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The Harbour Bridge engineered by Dorman Long and Company
0:27:52 > 0:27:54in Middlesbrough using steel largely from England.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Built by the English, made great by Australia.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58As the locals would have it, much like cricket.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Well, England arrive here in slightly steadier shape
0:28:00 > 0:28:01than they might have been.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Still no victory, but no whitewash either.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06And a real hope that here in Sydney, the gap between these sides
0:28:06 > 0:28:07might be bridgeable.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The draw in Melbourne showed England could be
0:28:09 > 0:28:11competitive and avoid defeat, but they still haven't taken 20
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Aussie wickets in a match.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17To that end, change is in the air.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19With Chris Woakes injured, a test debut for Mason Crane,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21a leg-spinner who played here for New South Wales
0:28:21 > 0:28:23and his middle name is Sydney.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Maybe he is made for this place.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27The way he has conducted himself throughout this whole trip
0:28:27 > 0:28:30and since he has been involved in our squads, he has
0:28:30 > 0:28:31been outstanding.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34For a young man to apply himself and absorb himself
0:28:34 > 0:28:41in the environment as he has, is exactly what you're after.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's a really good chance for him to show everyone
0:28:43 > 0:28:44what he's capable of.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47But I think on this surface he's going to be a really good option.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Australia's dilemma was whether to put pressure
0:28:49 > 0:28:51on the recovering heel of Mitchell Starc,
0:28:51 > 0:28:53the series' top wicket taker.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56They have decided to play him, and if you were questioning their
0:28:56 > 0:28:58motivation, they will still run this before every session
0:28:58 > 0:29:06of the test play.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Beat England...
0:29:07 > 0:29:08This still matters.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Every opportunity we get to play on this ground, it is special.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14And it is another Ashes Test match and the guys need
0:29:14 > 0:29:15no more motivation.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18It is a great opportunity to try and win this Test match
0:29:18 > 0:29:19and win the series 4- nil.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24Ashes series take a long time coming around.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27England must wait two years to try and reclaim the urn and four years
0:29:27 > 0:29:30for another chance over here.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34But the aim now is to turn the wheel just a little in their direction.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Patrick Geary, BBC News, in Sydney.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40An Irish footballer has scored his first big
0:29:40 > 0:29:43victory of the year, by winning the lottery.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Preston North End's Kevin O'Connor was visiting family in Ireland
0:29:47 > 0:29:50when he found out he'd won a million euros in the Christmas Millionaire
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Raffle, after his uncle bought him a ticket.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56He says he has "no immediate plans" on how to spend the money
0:29:56 > 0:29:58and that his main focus is helping his team
0:29:58 > 0:30:07climb up the league.
0:30:07 > 0:30:16Now more about the havoc wreaked by storm Eleanor.Here is Louise Lear.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Gusts of wind is in excess of 100
0:30:18 > 0:30:19storm Eleanor.Here is Louise Lear. Gusts of wind is in excess of 100
0:30:19 > 0:30:25miles an hour but generally speaking up to 75, 80 miles an hour quite
0:30:25 > 0:30:27widely. Still quite windy out there at the
0:30:27 > 0:30:34moment. These are the gusts in the last half an hour. But it will ease
0:30:34 > 0:30:38as we go through the afternoon. Now storm Eleanor is sitting in the
0:30:38 > 0:30:43North Sea and is left behind a trail of shower clout and blustery wind.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48Some of the shower is heavy with Sam Hill and thunder. Across central and
0:30:48 > 0:30:52southern parts of England and Wales it is an improving story through the
0:30:52 > 0:30:56day. Some showers through the north and west, some of these giving
0:30:56 > 0:31:03longer spells of rain but a beautiful day in the far north of
0:31:03 > 0:31:09Scotland. With the Sunshine further south, ten or 11 degrees to end the
0:31:09 > 0:31:12day. Going through the night the showers in the North West begin to
0:31:12 > 0:31:17fade away. Looking down to the south-west, low pressure bringing in
0:31:17 > 0:31:25some wet and weather and some gales on coast. A pretty unsettled start
0:31:25 > 0:31:30the day. A different story again further north, cold and frosty with
0:31:30 > 0:31:34some possible icy stretches on the roads. But for much of England and
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Wales are pretty dismal early morning rush hour with some quite
0:31:38 > 0:31:44persistent rain. It stays quite persistent across North Wales and
0:31:44 > 0:31:50through northern England. Then heading over into the Isle of Man
