Plans to have 48 teams at the tournament in 2026. And carol has the weather. Good morning. A breezy day ahead of us. For some of us, starting on a bright note with sunshine. It is cold.

Good morning. First, our main story. Another strike is affecting services on Southern Rail. Drivers belonging to the aslef union will stop work for three days this week. The dispute about the role of the guard on trains has been going on for nearly ten months. 0ur South Of England correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, is at horsham Train Station. Duncan, what is the mood like among passengers there . It has been crippling train lines for ten months. Commuters are out there. You have to get up early. It ta kes there. You have to get up early. It takes longer. I am abandoning going out to town tomorrow. We will see how things go later in the week. Out to town tomorrow. We will see how things go later in the weekli have managed to get a train but it is not good. It is really packed. Have managed to get a train but it is not good. It is really packedm seems talks between the two sides have turned nasty. They have been malicious. At best they have been deceitful and at worst, spiteful. 0ur reality is that we are now experiencing a new type of industrial relations in our industry that we have not seen for some time. It isa that we have not seen for some time. It is a row over the on board guard. Southern ones them to take over the safety critical job southern ones them to take over the safety criticaljob of taking over the doors. But the union says the guide should do it. A report by the regulator says their plans were safe as long as they provided the right equipment and training. All of the 2000 plus services in the company will be cancelled today, tomorrow, and friday. There will be huge disruption on thursday as well because the trains will be in the wrong place at. That is on top of an overtime ban Cutting Services daily. Another three strikes are planned later this month. The issue of driver controlled trains is affecting southern today but it could easily transferred to other franchises through britain. Duncan kennedy is at horsham. A really difficult time for so many people trying to travel. Absolutely. The start of another dismal day for maybe 200,000 people. At horsham, 5 10,000 people who would normally use this concourse. Look inside. It is com pletely this concourse. Look inside. It is completely empty. Nothing running whatsoever. The difference compared to the strike last month is that southern, together with other coach companies, putting on coaches to run from here, about 200, and are saying it is very much a backup service. Dont expect much from it. It will get people from Central London to other Train Stations where they can pick up other services. Very much picking up the slack. Bradley will not take a coach or a train. How will you get to work in london . I am driving today to paddington to get some parking there. I will try that today and maybe buses later in the week. Another frustrating today and maybe buses later in the week. Anotherfrustrating day. Not just a frustrating day, but a frustrating year. The strike today is just another day of no train. We are looking at Something Like 20 less trains over all on normal non strike days. Brighton to victoria during peak hours is limited. There is no express, there is nothing. This needs to end. It is all about who opens these doors, the driver, the guardunderstand the dispute. Can you see why no one is talking to each other . It was interesting watching the debate last night. It is frustrating. What needs to happen is frustrating. What needs to happen is the government needs to step in and mediate. If there are questions over safety, why is this being pushed out so hard . It needs to be mediated and a truce needs to be reached. Thank you. Good luck trying to get into Central London. Another strike tomorrow and friday. Forget the trains tomorrow as the trains will not be in right place. Missouri for hundreds of thousands of people in the south this week. Misery. Thank you for that. We will speak to the director of Souther Rails at 710 this morning. A 15 Year Old Girl has been arrested after the death of a seven Year Old Girl in york.

Jeremy corbyn is to outline labours approach to brexit in a speech later today, saying for the first time that he is not wedded to the principle of Free Movement. But he will warn that the uk cant afford to lose full access to the Single Market. 0ur Political Correspondent, iain watson, is in westminster. IainJeremy Corbyn has been under pressure to respond to labour voters concerns over immigration, hasnt he . Good morning. Today we will hear that. Not just from good morning. Today we will hear that. Notjust from some of his own mps. Has a tricky position. He has to talk about the remain voters. But he also has to reach out to those who backed leave in many parts of england outside london. We are hearing a shift in rhetoric from Jeremy Corbyn, saying that he recognises concerns about immigration in particular. He has indeed set for the first time that they are not wedded to the principle of Free Movement between European Countries which seems to be significant. If you look at the policies, i dont think he has changed much. We have not seen any at all. He says it is important to get a ccess at all. He says it is important to get access to the european Single Market, rather than having controls on migration. His policy on that is the same as it was before. In addition to that, he is policy is basically to try to stop employers bringing in cheap labour to undercut people already here. No policy on limiting numbers. He does not want to give false promises so no target. He will say that today. And no restrictions like his mps are calling for on the numbers of people with no skill at all coming into britain to work. His opponents are attacking him for that. He will also talk positively about the benefits of brexit and the ability of a Labour Government for example in the future to intervene in the industry. The lib dems are saying this proves that he never really campaigned to keep britain in the eu in the first place. Thank you. Coverage of that speech a little later across the bbc.

Lusty was the real big arrival of on line shopping. Last year. We have gotten used to it this year. Not the sort of increase as we saw. There has always been a worry. How long before hand do you have to order to make sure you get it . That is why they go to shops themselves. They do well. There is a warning that this year could be a tough one for retailers because we know that inflation is starting to pick up. That is a result of the fall in the value of the pound after the vote for brexit. It has meant the value of the pound has fallen significantly. Anything imported from overseas will cost us more. In the run up for christmas we did not feel that much because retailers had already bought that stock. In the new year we will see prices going up. Inflation should hit about 3 this year. It could mean writers start rising on the things we pay. We will not necessarily get a pay rise at work at the same time so it may mean the money in our pockets will get a squeeze. A tough year for retailers this year. Morrisons as results at seven. We will hear from them and we expect them to do well. Sainsbury, tesco, and others this week. An.
