She revealed to the press that Carrie Fisher had died on tuesday and she in the last 2a hours had lost both her mother and a grandmother. Just a thought for us.

She went on to make a series of films in the 1950s and 60s, before transferring the television and the stage. David, for the moment, thank you. Dozens of children who lived in the Calaisjungle Camp Have launched a legal challenge against the home office over its handling of Asylum Applications. Lawyers representing 36 children say the government broke its promise to take in its fair share of child refugees, and claim hundreds have had their applications turned down without good reason. Lets speak to our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. What can you tell us about the legal challenge . These lawyers, as you say, representing some of the children who lived in the Calais Jungle Camp, before it was taken down in october, they are accusing the government of failing to bring some of the most vulnerable child refugees to the uk. These lawyers represent 28 children who have already had their Asylum Applications rejected, a further eight are applications rejected, a further eightarea applications rejected, a further eight are a waiting decision. These lawyers say some applications were dismissed without good reason and so they have launched a legal challenge. We asked the home office for their response and they said it would be inappropriate to comment while Legal Proceedings were ongoing. We do know that about 900 children have been brought to the uk this year, about 750 at accompanied children have been bought from france. What we know now is the current transfer of children from france has now ended, but we do expect more eligible children from across europe, including from countries like greece and italy. We expect them to be brought to the uk in the coming months. Thank you. Rebel groups expected to meet russian negotiators in turkey today as part of a fresh push for a ceasefire in syria.

If you are travelling once again, watch out for patchy fog. Particularly across england. In places it is dense. Sometimes it will take its time to clear if indeed at all. It will lead to destruction. You can find out what is happening where you are on your bbc local Radio Station and the bbc travel pages. It is cold, it is frosty.
