at the australian open, with dan evans through and heather watson out, and attention now turning to andy murray and emma radacanu, both due on court soon. good morning. it isa it is a cold enough —— cold and frosty starter. a few showers. for most it will be dry with lengthy sunny spells. details later in the programme. good morning. it's thursday, the 20th of january. our main story. secondary school pupils in england will no longer need to wear face coverings in classrooms from today, as the government's plan b measures are phased out. advice to work from home has also ended, and from next thursday, mandatory face masks in public places and covid passports will both be axed. simonjones has the details. face—to—face learning, but it will now be without the masks. from today, face coverings in the classroom in england can't come off, though unions are warning that coronavirus remains a challenge, with large numbers of staff and pupils absent. but the government is keen for us to learn to live with covid. in england, people are no longer advised to work from home. from next thursday, face coverings won't be required legally in any setting, though people are still advised to wear them in crowded places. and covid passports to get into nightclubs will be dropped, though venues can choose to carry on using them. the steps that we've announced represent a major milestone. but it's not the end of the road. and we shouldn't see this as the finish line, because we cannot eradicate this virus and its future variants. instead, we must learn to live with covid in the same way that we've learned to live with flu. some are wary of going too fast, too quickly. i think it is a bit too early, because cases are still very high. i think it's about time - they lift them, you know. it's been a long couple of years now of sitting about doing nothing. - i think i would keep it in transport and crowded places like shops. the royal college of nursing is warning that dropping plan b will do nothing to ease the pressure on the nhs. but the government believes the booster programme has made a real difference, and that the omicron wave has peaked. it will also look to end the legal requirement for people who test positive to self—isolate, and replace it with guidance by the end of march. from next week, many restrictions on hospitality in scotland will be lifted. in wales, nightclubs will be able to reopen. in northern ireland, ministers are set to consider relaxations. but all nations are urging caution, as they attempt to draw up long—term strategies for coexisting with the virus. simon jones, bbc news. downing street has said boris johnson will fight any challenge to his leadership of the conservative party. it follows a fiery day in the commons over the so—called partygate scandal, with one new mp defecting to the labour party, and a former cabinet minister calling for the prime minister to stand down. nick eardley reports. calm? there isn't much of it around here. westminster is tense about a report into what parties happened in downing street during lockdown, and how long borisjohnson will remain prime minister. yesterday, one conservative mp decided he'd had enough. christian wakeford joined the labour party, very publicly defecting on the floor of the house of commons. music to the ears of his new leader. can i start by warmly welcoming the honourable member for bury south to his new place in the house... cheering. ..and to the parliamentary labour party? mr speaker, like so many people up and down the country, he has concluded that the prime minister and the conservative party have shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership government this country deserves. a prime minister underfire from his own side too, but showing no signs he wants to go anywhere. and as for bury south, mr speaker, as for bury south, we will win again in bury south at the next election under this prime minister. but then listen to this, from one of his own mps, a former brexit ally. i expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. yesterday, he did the opposite of that. so i will remind him of a quotation. "you have sat there too long for all the good you have done. in the name of god, go." cheering. rumours are flying around here about whether the prime minister will face a confidence vote. the chances of that happening this week appear to have receded, and some think it would be a bad idea. colleagues are coming out now strongly and supporting the prime minister as the right man to lead our country. and on all the big decisions, you know, he's got the call right, whether it's covid, brexit, or creating the fastest—growing economy in the g7. but plenty of conservatives are angry. and some may move next week when a report into lockdown parties is published. and i think there is a real sense of stepping back and realising that the right thing to do is to wait for sue gray's report, to then question the prime minister, as he has quite properly said he will come to the house of commons and make a statement and answer for it. some hope borisjohnson survives, others aren't so sure. the prime minister's future is farfrom certain. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. let's get the latest now from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. the story of yesterday was a very significant announcement about how we lead our lives which will be resonating with people today. in the long side of that scale, the discussion about the future of the prime minister?— discussion about the future of the prime minister? yeah, what a day. the words of _ prime minister? yeah, what a day. the words of the _ prime minister? yeah, what a day. the words of the speaker -

that this discovery may mean there are many more coral reefs waiting to be found in the oceans. our science correspondent victoria gill has more. magical. that was the word a veteran specialist diver who led this mission it used to describe this view. some of these corals are more than two metres wide and the whole reef structure stretches three kilometres along the sea bed. its depth and distance from the coast is thought to be a key reason for its pristine condition. researchers say it shows no signs of damage from pollution or ocean warming temperatures, something that poses a major threat to shallower reefs. it looks beautiful but high important is this scientifically? it looks beautiful but high important is this scientifically?— is this scientifically? it might lead us to — is this

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. people in london will still need to wear a mask on tubes, buses and trams despite the lifting of restrictions across other transport networks due next week. yesterday prime minister borisjohnson announced the removal of restrictions for people using shops, restuarants, or public transport from next week. but the mayor of london sadiq khan says masks are still needed due to the continuing threat of omicron. around 30 per cent of londoners are unvaccinated. the number of nhs dentists in london fell by around 10 per cent last year according nhs figures — with the british dental association describing dentistry as "hanging by a thread." some people are waiting for up to two years for routine check—ups. nhs england says there was additionalfunding during the pandemic and hundreds of urgent dental centres were set up across england. a number of london mp's have written to the royal mail to express concern over delays to deliveries in parts of the capital. some londoners are only now starting to receive post sent before christmas. royal mail says the problems are only affecting a small number of areas and are the result of staff shortages caused by the pandemic. you may recognise him from playing the cello at prince harry and meghan markle's wedding, now sheku kanneh—mason has gone back to school to inspire children. the charity london music masters helps bring music lessons to primary schools across the capital — and this one in southwark — was lucky enough to get a master class from him. with the music, there is so much spontaneity required to be able to together with the children and for them to hear my sound up close, hopefully when they come to practice again, they can remember the sound they have heard. just the part closure of the northern line until mid may for major works. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. a few splashes of rain yesterday and it felt milder but today we are back into the chilly air and high pressure building from the west set to keep us dry as we head through the rest of the week and there will be some more frosty nights to come in more fog returning over the weekend. visibility not too bad this morning but there is a widespread frost to start the morning and temperatures have dipped below freezing for many of us and we will see a lot of blue sky and sunshine and a pretty winters day but feeling cold with a chilly northerly wind and temperatures not getting past amid single figures or for five celsius for most. as we head for the evening and overnight there will be a widespread sharp frost and temperatures for many away from the towns might drop as low as —3 or minus four celsius and perhaps a mist forming on friday. on friday the high pressure is firmly with us and that will keep us dry, and we have milder airfeeding around it as well and there will be a bit more in the way of cloud and the high pressure will last as we head for the weekend so it is dry and that will see a return to the misty, foggy mornings and where we see the foggy mornings and where we see the fog it will be very slow to lift and clear. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up on breakfast this

from next thursday — face coverings will not be required by law — though advice remains to wear one in enclosed and crowded spaces. also from next thursday, you won't need a covid pass to gain entry to nightclubs and large events. those who test positive will still need to self—isolate — but this could be phased out by the end of march. breakfast'sjohn maguire has been speaking to people in

match at the king power stadium — tottenham moving into the top five, with a 3—2 win over leicester. up until the final minute, this match looked to be going the home side's way — james maddison's goal put leicester 2—1 up, but five minutes into stoppage time, substitute stephen berg—wine, scored what he thought was a late equaliser. and less than a minute later, somehow spurs got the ball back from kick—off, and sent bergwine through to score again, in one of the top flight's latest ever comeback wins. it's fantastic. fantastic. the fans, a fantastic game and i scored two goals. to a

thirlby, said the team, just ran out of steam, after they lost to australia in the final, of the quad series in london. they were on top for three of the four quarters against their old rivals at the

low as —1i in oxfordshire and to give an idea what they are sitting out at the moment, in manchester it is —3 the airport we have fog so for you there is freezing fog and farmer is —i, aviemore is freezing and belfast as well but in porthmadog where there is more cloud temperatures will have held up a bit more and we are looking at 7 degrees and under the clear skies there will be a lot of sunshine but it will feel chilly and we also have some showers have across the north of the country on the north mainland of country and you might have some ice to watch out for first thing this morning you might have some ice to watch out forfirst thing this morning on untreated services. there will be some showers coming down the east coast and wintry in the north york moors and some showers which will be rain showers getting in across norfolk and suffolk but west wales and, will tend to push into the sea as we go through the day and a lot of dry weather and a lot of sunshine around but feeling cold. gusty winds in the north and also in the east in particular where it will feel raw. as we head through the evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies and the cloud coming in across scotland and that will help maintain the temperature level and it will also be thick enough for spots of light rain or drizzle so away from the west we are looking at a widespread frost and could see fog countries forming across south—west england and south—west scotland and north—west england with temperatures falling away in rural parts to about -6. falling away in rural parts to about —6. as we go into tomorrow we will see the mist and fog lift and there will be dry weather again in a fair bit of sunshine, still cloud coming around an area of high pressure and there will be more of a noticeable breeze but of anything the wind is not as strong down the north sea coastline tomorrow so it won't feel as cold. having said that, you will still feel cold with temperatures ranging between five and london to about nine in stornoway. as we head into the week and the high pressure that has been with us the last wee while and be with us into next week slips a bit further south and we have a weather front coming in across the north and it is a cold front so on sundayjust behind it temperatures where they have been at their highest in the north—west of scotland will slip a little bit but saturday, first of all, we have a lot of dry weather, central and eastern areas and a lot of sunshine and out towards the west we have more cloud coming in and again, thick enough for the odd spot of light rain or drizzle here and there with the exception rather than the rule. stornoway on saturday 11 degrees, seven in london and as we whip into sunday we have a weather from sinking south taking some rain into it and there we will see the temperatures slide a bit. a bit more cloud but predominantly dry for much of the uk with temperatures between seven and 9 degrees. carol, despite the

scientists say that gentoo penguins, which normally breed in the warmer regions of the continent have, for the first time, started moving south to colder areas. let's get more on this now. louisa casson is greenpeace's oceans campaigner, and led the expedition which recorded the penguins' movements. we can see the ocean behind you, but can you describe where you are? hello from an early

looking around and finding out the work they are doing. a long time ago you would have had to send cameras in all sorts of stuff. now it is just like that. i sever we have the headlines but let's find out what is happening where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. people in london will still need to wear a mask on tubes, buses and trams despite the lifting of restrictions due next week. yesterday the prime minister borisjohnson said masks would no longer be needed in shops, schools, or public transport. but the mayor of london sadiq khan says masks will still be a condition of travel on tfl services. around 30% of londoners are unvaccinated. the number of nhs dentists in london fell by around 10% last year, according to new nhs figures. the british dental association says dentistry is "hanging by a thread", with some people waiting for up to two years for routine check—ups and many dentists leaving. nhs england says there was additionalfunding during the pandemic, and hundreds of urgent dental centres were set up across england. a number of london mps have written to the royal mail, to express concern over delays to deliveries in parts of the capital. some londoners are only now starting to receive post sent before christmas. royal mail says the problems are only affecting a small number of areas, and are the result of staff shortages caused by the pandemic. you may recognise him from playing the cello at prince harry and meghan's wedding. now sheku kanneh—mason has gone back to school to inspire children. the charity london music masters helps bring music lessons to primary schools across the capital, and this one in southwark was lucky enough to get a master class from him. with the music, there is so much spontaneity required to be able to play together with the children and for them to hear my sound up close, hopefully when they come to practice again, they can remember the sound they have heard. let's take a look at the tubes. just the part closure of the northern line until mid—may for major works. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. a few splashes of rain yesterday and it felt milder but today we are back into the chilly air and high pressure building from the west set to keep us dry as we head through the rest of the week and there will be some more frosty nights to come in more fog returning over the weekend. visibility not too bad this morning but there is a widespread frost to start the morning, and temperatures have dipped below freezing for many of us and we will see a lot of blue sky and sunshine and a pretty winter's day but feeling cold with a chilly northerly wind and temperatures not getting past amid single figures or for five celsius for most. as we head for the evening and overnight there will be a widespread sharp frost and temperatures for many away from the towns might drop as low as —3 or minus four celsius and perhaps a mist forming on friday. on friday the high pressure is firmly with us and that will keep us dry, and we have milder air feeding around it as well and there will be a bit more in the way of cloud and the high pressure will last as we head through the weekend so it is dry and that will see a return to the misty, foggy mornings i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines. from today, face masks are not compulsory in england's classrooms, as the government says we must learn to live with covid. the prime minister vows to fight any leadership challenge, as mps await a crucial report into downing street parties. the british dental association says nhs dentistry is "hanging by a thread", as patients wait two years for check—ups. a busy day for the brits at the australian open, with dan evans through and heather watson out, and attention now turning to andy murray and emma radacanu leading the charge — both due on court soon. good morning. it isa it is a cold and frosty start. there are showers in the forecast but for most of what it will be dry with lengthy sunny spells. feeling cold. details later in the programme. good morning. it's thursday, the 20th of january. our main story. secondary school pupils in england will no longer need to wear face coverings in classrooms from today, as the government's plan b measures are phased out. advice to work from home has also ended, and from next thursday, mandatory face masks in public places and covid passports will both be axed. simonjones has the details. face—to—face learning, but it will now be without the masks. from today, face coverings in the classroom in england can come off, though unions are warning that coronavirus remains a challenge, with large numbers of staff and pupils absent. but the government is keen for us to learn to live with covid. in england, people are no longer advised to work from home. from next thursday, face coverings won't be required legally in any setting, though people are still advised to wear them in crowded places. and covid passports to get into nightclubs will be dropped, though venues can choose to carry on using them. the steps that we've announced represent a major milestone. but it's not the end of the road. and we shouldn't see this as the finish line, because we cannot eradicate this virus and its future variants. instead, we must learn to live with covid in the same way that we've learned to live with flu. some are wary of going too fast, too quickly. i think it is a bit too early, because cases are still very high. i think it's about time - they lift them, you know. it's been a long couple of years now of sitting about doing nothing. - i think i would keep it in transport and crowded places like shops. the royal college of nursing is warning that dropping plan b will do nothing to ease the pressure on the nhs. but the government believes the booster programme has made a real difference, and that the omicron wave has peaked. it will also look to end the legal requirement for people who test positive to self—isolate, and replace it with guidance by the end of march. from next week, many restrictions on hospitality in scotland will be lifted. in wales, nightclubs will be able to reopen. in northern ireland, ministers are set to consider relaxations. but all nations are urging caution, as they attempt to draw up long—term strategies for coexisting with the virus. simon jones, bbc news. downing street has said boris johnson will fight any challenge to his leadership of the conservative party. it follows a fiery day in the commons as the fallout continues over parties in number 10, with one new mp defecting to the labour party, and a former cabinet minister calling for the prime minister to stand down. nick eardley reports. calm? there isn't much of it around here. westminster is tense about a report into what parties happened in downing street during lockdown, and how long borisjohnson will remain prime minister. yesterday, one conservative mp decided he'd had enough. christian wakeford joined the labour party, very publicly defecting on the floor of the house of commons. music to the ears of his new leader. can i start by warmly welcoming the honourable member for bury south to his new place in the house... cheering. ..and to the parliamentary labour party? mr speaker, like so many people up and down the country, he has concluded that the prime minister and the conservative party have shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership and government this country deserves. a prime minister underfire from his own side too, but showing no signs he wants to go anywhere. and as for bury south, mr speaker, as for bury south, we will win again in bury south at the next election under this prime minister. but then listen to this, from one of his own mps, a former brexit ally. i expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. yesterday, he did the opposite of that. so i will remind him of a quotation. "you have sat there too long for all the good you have done. in the name of god, go." cheering. rumours are flying around here about whether the prime minister will face a confidence vote. the chances of that happening this week appear to have receded, and some think it would be a bad idea. colleagues are coming out now strongly and supporting the prime minister as the right man to lead our country. and on all the big decisions, you know, he's got the call right, whether it's covid, brexit, or creating the fastest—growing economy in the g7. but plenty of conservatives are angry. and some may move next week when a report into lockdown parties is published. and i think there is a real sense of stepping back and realising that the right thing to do is to wait for sue gray's report, to then question the prime minister, as he has quite properly said he will come to the house of commons and make a statement and answer for it. some hope borisjohnson survives, others aren't so sure. the prime minister's future is farfrom certain. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now from westminster. so, lots of speculation about the timing

president biden has warned russia that it would pay dearly if it invaded ukraine. in a news conference marking his first full year in office, mr biden predicted president putin would "move in" on ukraine, but said he didn't think russia's leader wanted a full—blown war. our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue reports. gunfire. ever since russia began its build—up of troops on the ukrainian border, america has been threatening wide ranging economic sanctions, if vladimir putin went ahead with an invasion. now the us president is predicting that his russian counterpart will make a move on ukraine, testing the west. and while us troops would not be involved, the president said the consequences would be deadly. the cost of going into ukraine in terms of physical loss of life for the russians — and they will be able to prevail over time, but it's going to be heavy. it's going to be real. it's going to be consequential. at home, the administration's handling of covid has been severely criticised, particularly for the slow response on testing. now a billion tests will be available for americans to take at home, and the president promised no more lockdowns. i'm not going to give up and accept things as they are now. some people may call what's happening now the new normal. i call it a job not yet finished. it will get better. we are moving toward a time when covid—i9 won't disrupt our daily lives. the president claimed credit for bringing unemployment down, and passing covid relief and infrastructure legislation. but with inflation high, and other bills being blocked, he blamed republicans for not getting more done. i did not anticipate that there'd be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that president biden didn't get anything done. joe biden believes his first year has seen important progress on the economy, on covid and on infrastructure. but with key parts of its legislative programme mired in congress, and a looming crisis with russia, there are huge challenges ahead, not least those mid—term elections in november. gary o'donoghue, bbc news at the white house. ghislaine maxwell's lawyers are expected to

lovely picture. it is. it is beautiful. this is what many of us will be looking at it today. blue skies. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine, but it is going to feel chilly wherever you are. it is a chilly start, a frosty one as well with pockets of fog. we have a few showers peppering the far north of mainland scotland and the northern isles. some could be wintry and falling on cold surfaces means first thing there might be some ice. a lot of dry weather. for northern ireland, cloud from the west but essentially dry and sunny. for much of england and wales it will be dry and sunny. showers might down the east coast. they could be wintry. west wales and, well could see some showers. wind is anotherfeature west wales and, well could see some showers. wind is another feature of the weather. gusty winds in the north and east. that will make it feel quite right. at times it will be quite gusty in the north west of scotland. these are the temperatures. only four in aberdeen this morning to aid in cardiff. this evening and overnight a bit more cloud in parts of scotland and northern ireland, thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle here and there. nothing too much. again, that will be the exception rather than the rule. under clear skies another cold one and another frosty one as well, with patchy fog forming across south—west scotland and north—west england. that will lift quite readily tomorrow. for most it will be dry. a fair bit of sunshine. cloud toppling around this area of high pressure dominating the weather. that is also going to be thick enough again for some drizzle. temperatures between five and eight. thank you. it was a dramatic day in westminster yesterday. first, they were fiery exchanges in the commons, with the conservative mp defected to labour.

"hanging by a thread", with some patients waiting up to two—years for check—ups — that's the warning from the head of the british dental association. it comes as research by the bbc shows that around a thousand dentists left the nhs in england and wales last year. sharon grey from suffolk says she was forced to take matters into her own hands, after waiting more than 12 months for treatment. i've foiled them down with a metal foil. i've superglued them back in, and managed to superglue most of my mouth as well. erm, fixadent to try and hold a bridge onto my teeth, that doesn't work either. i think i must have covered most things now. i've worked all my life, paid my ni number. i worked for the nhs, even, and i was left in this situation. i think it's diabolical. that was sharon going through some of what she has been through. when you hear those stories, it really is shocking. we're joined now by sarfraz khan, who runs six practices across burnley and has been trying to fill some staff vacancies for nearly four years. good morning to you. i imagine, as you are hearing sharon's story, you must be thinking, wow, this is a lady who needs a dentist and needs it now? , ., ., ., ,

news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. people in london will still need to wear a mask on tubes, buses and trams despite the lifting of restrictions due next week. yesterday, the prime minister boris johnson said masks would no longer be needed in shops, schools, or public transport. but the mayor of london sadiq khan says masks will still a condition of travel on tfl services. around 30 per cent of londoners are unvaccinated. the number of nhs dentists in london fell by around 10 per cent last year according to new nhs figures. the british dental association says dentistry is "hanging by a thread" with some people waiting for up to two years for routine check—ups and many dentists leaving. nhs england says there was additionalfunding during the pandemic and hundreds of urgent dental centres were set up across england. a number of london mps have written to the royal mail to express concern over delays to deliveries in parts of the capital. some londoners are only now starting to receive post sent before christmas. royal mail says the problems are only affecting a small number of areas and are the result of staff shortages caused by the pandemic. you may recognise him from playing the cello at prince harry and meghan�*s wedding, now sheku kanneh—mason has gone back to school to inspire children. the charity london music masters helps bring music lessons to primary schools across the capital — and this one in southwark — was lucky enough to get a master class from him. with the music, there is so much spontaneity required to be able to play together with the children and for them to hear my sound up close, hopefully when they come to practice again, they can remember the sound they have heard. let's take a look at the tubes. just the part closure of the northern line until mid may for major works. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. a few splashes of rain yesterday and it felt milder but today we are back into the chilly air and high pressure building from the west set to keep us dry as we head through the rest of the week and there will be some more frosty nights to come in more fog returning over the weekend. visibility not too bad this morning but there is a widespread frost to start the morning, and temperatures have dipped below freezing for many of us and we will see a lot of blue sky and sunshine and a pretty winter's day but feeling cold with a chilly northerly wind and temperatures not getting past amid single figures or for five celsius for most. as we head for the evening and overnight there will be a widespread sharp frost and temperatures for many away from the towns might drop as low as —3 or minus four celsius and perhaps a mist forming on friday. on friday the high pressure is firmly with us and that will keep us dry, and we have milder air feeding around it as well and there will be a bit more in the way of cloud and the high pressure will last as we head through the weekend so it is dry and that will see a return to the misty, foggy mornings and where we see the fog it will be very slow to lift and clear. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. secondary school pupils in england will no longer need to wear face masks in class from this morning, as the government's plan b measures are phased out. advice to work from home has also ended, and from next thursday, mandatory face coverings in public places and covid passports, previously used to gain entry to nightclubs and large events, will both be axed. lots to talk about this mornining with the health secretary sajid javid, who joins us from westminster. a lot of people coming to terms with the changes you've announced with plan b measures coming to an end from next thursday. how certain are you that this is the

of the figures was that hospital admissions are stabilising, and i know in certain places that varies and i'm hearing in london they are falling but stabilising is not a good situation and is better

remember andy murray is coming into this match, on the back of the epic 5 setter, against nikolas basilashvili n the first round, and that may play its part just slightly below murray in the world rankings, but he paid the price for too many unforced errors early on and it was the fresher looking daniel, who took the advantage, breaking the murray serve. murray did find the strength and determination we've seen from him so often, to break back a couple of games later, however, daniel is on top now — he broke serve again, and took the opening set. the draw has opened up for emma raducanu, who's due on court at around 8 o'clock against danka kovinic, a potential very tricky 4th round opponent would have been muguruz but she has been knocked out this morning in a real surprise, she was the 3rd seed, and a former grand slam winner, but was beaten by cornet. the aussie diamonds pulled away yesterday to win 58—46. delighted to say we _ yesterday to win 58—46. delighted to say

belongings, like luggage, keys or a wallet, but there are concerns the technology behind apple's "airtags", could also be being used to stalk people. the small device sends an alert to the user's phone, notifying them of the whereabouts of an item, but as james clayton now reports, some women believe they've enabled people to follow them. my my phone and made a sound i had never heard before and i looked down at it and i did not register what it said and i was like, what does this say? and it told me an unknown accessory or device had been following my movement for a while. this is

more than £2 trillion should be doing more to stop its products to track and even stalk people. james clayton, bbc news, silicon valley. we're joined now by victoria song from the us tech website, "the verge", who has been reviewing apple's airtags. good morning to you, victoria. what do ou good morning to you, victoria. what do you make — good morning to you, victoria. what do you make of _

yes, so airtags, they are super convenient but there is this downside to that sort of convenience. i've been testing these devices, and it can be pretty scary. when you think about it. i've been testing them and i gave one that was registered who me to my friend and i was basically able to track her, although i had her consent. that was basically able to track her, although i had her consent.

great question and i don't think we l question and i don't think we necessarily have a solution at this moment because it is such a novel technology. the way these things work is that they are sending out a bluetooth signal and devices that are on the apple network, basically every iphone that is compatible at the moment with the technology, they act as a beacon to find that device, so you lose your airtag and someone with an iphone walked by it and that iphone is going to ping the icloud to tell whether devices. 50 you can imagine that the network is extremely extensive now because there are billions of iphones out there, so you can track someone in real time. there, so you can track someone in realtime. however, there, so you can track someone in real time. however, there are

testing i found that these are not effective for long—term stalking, because if this airtag is on your person long enough you will get multiple notifications. however, the vast majority of these notifications and that includes the chirp, the audible sound, and if it's at the bottom of your bag or attached to a licence plate, you probably aren't going to hear it and it can be pretty faint. the majority of these notifications will come when you first arrive home, and that can be hours after they were first placed on you. if can be hours after they were first placed on yon-— placed on you. if

the course of five or six hours i didn't get a notification that it was travelling with me. it was only when i got home that the airtag started beeping and i heard that there was an unknown airtag notification travelling with you, so that was about six hours after i had initially had the airtag moving with me that could have been unknown. of course, i knew, it was my husband's airtag when i was testing it but that was concerning to me and then the personal tests. you probably won't get a notification until you first arrive home, in which case somebody could have been looking the entire time,

travel reporting and has been to tonga and the south pacific islands and we will hear more about that after the headlines shortly. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines. from today, face masks are not compulsory in england's classrooms, as the government says we must learn to live with covid. the prime minister vows to fight any leadership challenge, as mp5 await a crucial report into downing street parties. higher energy bills could be here to stay — that's the warning from the boss of the bank of england, who says the squeeze on the cost of living could last for longer than previously thought. and martin clunes tells us about his travels across the islands of the pacific, inspired by a book his father gave him as a child. a shaky start for andy murray — he drops the first set in a close match against taro daniel, as he bids to make the third round of the australian open. good morning. a cold and frosty started today. if you're showers in the forecast but for most of us it will be dry with lengthy sunny spells and gusty winds. details later in the programme. good morning. it's thursday, the 20th of january. our main story. borisjohnson has announced that england's plan b restrictions are to be scrapped. the government is no longer asking people in england to work from home. face coverings don't need to be worn in secondary school classrooms from today, and guidance about using them in communal areas will soon be updated. for everyone else, from next thursday, face coverings will not be required by law, though advice remains to wear one in enclosed and crowded spaces. also from next thursday, you won't need a covid pass to gain entry to nightclubs and large events. those who test positive will still need to self—isolate, but this could be phased out by the end of march. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been speaking to people in bristol, to find out how the changes have gone down there. as from today, the visible smiles are back in the classroom. in common with every other school, here in south gloucestershire at the kings oak academy in kingswood, they have dealt with a lot in the last two years. pupils and staff understand the public health need behind face coverings but, when we spoke yesterday, they are looking forward to seeing the back of them. when teachers are wearing masks, it's difficult to hear them and when we are wearing masks it is difficult for them to hear us so we have to keep on repeating and repeating. it's really difficult because the teacher, they can't see which student, they might not remember who is who and especially with a mask on, you can't see who they are. wearing a mask is not that bad, but, i like, if you like say something it's. hard for other people to hear you, so sometimes you have _ to pull it down for them to who you properly. i it has been quite difficult wearing them in lessons because it's quite difficult understanding what the teachers are saying. the advice to work from home where possible has already ended and from next thursday, face coverings will no longer be compulsory on public transport. so, passengers will be able to use their own discretion. i willjust keep it on until basically everyone else has not got it. i will do as i'm told. i always obey, so whatever the rules are, i have to follow. would you wear one next week if didn't have two? i'd prefer not to. i will still wear one because of the virus. but i doubt a lot of people will. ithink it is virus. but i doubt a lot of people will. i think it is a good thing, to be honest, guys. it keeps us safe. for me, it is a must. at this gift shop in bristol, they have sold out of facemasks and will not be ordering any more as we won't have to wear them in shops other enclosed spaces. whereas the intention is to help customers feel safe, here, too, face coverings can be a barrier to human interactions. i would like people to do whatever they are comfortable with. people will feel more relaxed when they're not wearing them but the people who are anxious will carry on wearing them. it's a tricky thing when you are wearing a mask. it stops communication with people and people can't hear what you're saying and because we have the perspex screen as well, again, you can't quite hear what people are saying it is difficult for your customers and difficult for us as well. mandatory covid passes for night clubs and sports stadiums won't reach their six—week anniversary as they are scrapped next week, although many venues had and will continue to continue to require customers to show them on entry. i've spoken to some clubs that will still be asking people to provide a covid pass on the way through, as we have been in bristol since the 19th ofjuly when we opened last year. some places will continue to do that and other places will choose that it is not needed within their environment, so it will be up to the individual venues to decide. don't expect face coverings to suddenly disappear overnight. they will remain compulsory on public transport in london for example, and many people may continue to are on the side of caution. so, there is no plan b for much longer in england but as we've seen, so many times before, coronaviruses doesn't follow plans. let's speak to john now. he's at king's oak academy in bristol for us

let's find out what is going on with the weather. a chilly start. are you off to the beach? wouldn't that be nice? although it is cold. this is one of our weather watchers pictures taking on hove this

in the northern moors. generally the showers coming in on a brisk wind across the east coast. they are more likely to be of rain. showers also across south—west england and also western parts of wales. they will tend to fade. temperatures at only four in aberdeen to about eight in plymouth. this evening and overnight once again we will have clear skies. an area of cloud over the area of high pressure will be thinking of here and there to produce drizzle. under those clear skies we are looking at a widespread frost. they will also be fog forming in south—west scotland and north—west england. into tomorrow we still have this cloud in the north and west. drizzle coming out of it. the foxtel weightlifting. then a lot of dry weather. a lot of sunshine. —— the fog lifting. it won't

stay well into next year. ben's taking a look for us. a real worry. people are already feeling it and they know there's to come? . , feeling it and they know there's to come? ., , . ,., another day, another serious warning about energy prices, this time from the governor of the bank of england. good morning, everyone. there's intense pressure on household budgets at the moment. we saw those inflation figures rise again yesterday. one of the big things squeezing our finances is energy prices. we've already been warned to expect further increases in our bills this spring, when the price cap is likely to be lifted. at the moment it's just over £1200 a year. that's based on average usage. you might well pay more if you use more than the average amount of gas or electricity. industry experts reckon bills might go up by another £600 or £700 when the cap rises again. that's bad news for people like tina from reading, who is already struggling. the energy increase is going to probably cripple us. - it will be a case of working out what we can just - cut back and cut back. might have to do it so we don't have | it on in the morning or the evening, | or not have it on at all. that is really scary. that is really upsetting me quite a lot. - me being disabled, i i'm only on benefits. i have only got my husband's wage. there is only so much they can give. we can't get any more benefits because he is working. - we are pushed back on that as well. we are stuck between l a rock and a hard place, i'll be totally honest. it's notjust tina who's worried. according to the debt charity stepchange, nearly nine million people borrowed £26 billion in total, just to cover their basic needs in the past year. the number of people finding it hard to keep up with their bills and credit has doubled since the start of the pandemic. and the latest warning is that the squeeze on energy bills is likely to go on for much longer. this man, andrew bailey, the governor of the bank of england, told mps yesterday that prices may stay high until the middle of next year. part of the reason is rising tensions between russia and ukraine. russia supplies about half of the eu's natural gas imports, so problems can push up prices for everyone. yesterday, the official inflation measure reached its highest level in 30 years. that 5.4% figure masks the reality though that some products on the supermarket shelves will have gone up by a lot more. the bank of england governor's comments matter because the bank had hoped high prices would be temporary. now there's a fear things could last longer than expected. so, a lot of pressure from all sides for the government to step in. it told us the energy price cap was helping protect people from even bigger price rises, and that they were listening to consumers and businesses about how to manage the costs of energy. and the other thing with all this is we are talking about inflation, the latest figure. some people may be worried that when inflation goes high eight leads to higher interest rates. it is not inevitable but if that were to happen that adds even more pressure on people where they have got that, because that becomes more expensive on the debt interest repayments. it more expensive on the debt interest repayments-— more expensive on the debt interest rea ments. , , ~ ., ., repayments. it seems like wave

are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. people in london will still need to wear a mask on tubes, buses and trams despite the lifting of restrictions due next week yesterday the prime minister borisjohnson said masks would no longer be needed in shops, schools, or public transport. but the mayor of london sadiq khan says masks will still a condition of travel on tfl services. around 30 per cent of londoners are unvaccinated. the number of nhs dentists in london fell by around 10 per cent last year according to new nhs figures. the british dental association says dentistry is "hanging by a thread" with some people waiting for up to two years for routine check—ups and many dentists leaving. nhs england says there was additionalfunding during the pandemic and hundreds of urgent dental centres were set up across england. a number of london mps have written to the royal mail to express concern over delays to deliveries in parts of the capital. some londoners are only now starting to receive post sent before christmas. royal mail says the problems are only affecting a small number of areas and are the result of staff shortages caused by the pandemic. you may recognise him from playing the cello at prince harry and meghan's wedding, now sheku kanneh—mason has gone back to school to inspire children. music the charity london music masters helps bring music lessons to primary schools across the capital — and this one in southwark — was lucky enough to get a master class from him. with the music, there is so much spontaneity required to be able to play together with the children and for them to hear my sound up close, hopefully when they come to practice again, they can remember the sound they have heard. let's take a look at the tube. just the part closure of the northern line until mid —may for major works. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. a few splashes of rain yesterday and it felt milder but today we are back into the chilly air and high pressure building from the west set to keep us dry as we head through the rest of the week and there will be some more frosty nights to come in more fog returning over the weekend. visibility not too bad this morning but there is a widespread frost to start the morning, and temperatures have dipped below freezing for many of us and we will see a lot of blue sky and sunshine and a pretty winter's day but feeling cold with a chilly northerly wind and temperatures not getting past amid single figures or for five celsius for most. as we head for the evening and overnight there will be a widespread sharp frost and temperatures for many away from the towns might drop as low as —3 or —4 celsius and perhaps a mist forming on friday. on friday the high pressure is firmly with us and that will keep us dry, and we have milder air feeding around it as well and there will be a bit more in the way of cloud and the high pressure will last as we head through the weekend so it is dry and that will see a return to the misty, foggy mornings and where we see the fog it will be very slow to lift and clear. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in
