next, andrew moger from west yorkshire has an adventure in mind. it has always been my ambition to trek to the everest base camp. what would you recommend for me to achieve this? this is a real trip of a lifetime, andrew, and requires some specialist advice. it is a very achievable goal for someone in their mid to even late 60s into their 70s with a well thought out plan. get your gear list, start to accumulate the gear because that will probably take a bit of time. you want to start to physically prepare yourself, you want to focus on strength training, cardiovascular training, and endurance training. finally gillian craigie wants to arrive at new‘sjfk airport at four in the afternoon and has an appointment in central manhattan at 7:30 pm. with new york's jfk airportjust 12 miles from manhattan, on paper there should be no problem covering that distance in over three hours. but a recent snapshot of wait times for us customs and border protection at the airport's international arrivals terminal shows that the average wait for non—americans betw

this was the scene earlier in west yorkshire. and a bit further northwards in county durham, ice completely encasing this windscreen. you can imagine, underfoot and under tyre, slick conditions, just really really dangerous stuff. as we look at the weather picture through sunday, what storm deirdre is about is a transition to milder conditions. the air will be moving in from the west, we will see a significant jump upwards in temperatures. so for sunday, the last of the rain and hill snow will clear away from scotland. a bright enough start to the day across many eastern areas, but further west, the cloud will gather through the day, and we will see more wet weather, particularly for wales, western areas of england. that could cause some localised surface water flooding issues, given how wet the weather has been recently. but look at the temperatures, between 6—10 degrees. it will be a much milder day. through sunday evening, the wet weather in the west pushes its way slowly eastwards, and then, as that begins to clear out of t

there will be some brighter moments to the east of the pennines as well, particularly for yorkshire and lincolnshire. otherwise staying cloudy. for hogmanay celebrations, the skies will clear. there will be a few showers and it will be windy. gusts could reach around 75 mph in the northern isles for hogmanay celebrations. further south, we have some rain for northern ireland and southern scotland. south of this, it will stay mainly dry, and not particularly cold and will be dry for those all—importa nt particularly cold and will be dry for those all—important midnight celebrations. through the rest of the night, the weatherfront celebrations. through the rest of the night, the weather front sinks southwards bringing rain over england and wales, not amounting to much. some areas avoided altogether. quite patchy in nature. looking at the first day of the new year, a cold front pushes southwards, high pressure to the west. that will bring cooler air across the uk, but more significantly having for many of us it will break the cloud up. so, on tuesday, new year's day, much sunnier skies

the airedale nhs foundation trust in west yorkshire saw the cost of a 24—hour stay more than doubled to £8, something locals have strong views about. i think it's atrocious. i have been in to... my friend's mum is dying, i've been into drop some stuff off, and it's cost me three quid. it does work out expensive — it could be £10 per day. are the carparking charges fair? no, i don't think they are. they should be free because the people turning up to the car parks can't necessarily afford it. the department of health today said it is very clear that patients, their families and hard—working staff should not be subject to unfair parking charges. the charges have been abolished in most of wales and scotland but they remain in england bringing an additional pain that many people that come into hospital would rather do without. a 37—year—old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murdering two children. police say the young children were discovered at a property in margate in the early hours of this morning. the woman remains in custody. britain's most senior police officer has

you became a newspaper reporter in yorkshire. so again, i see some sort of storytelling about it. yes, i made it through a course at harlow, a full—time course injournalism. and by some miracle i got on it, and enjoyed it, and it was the making of me. i think in some ways it, i think, it was a great thing for a young me to have done, because it sharpened me up. you had to get yourself organised, and it taught you how to condense, and it taught you how to — a beginning, a middle, and an end, and to deal with stuff. so, if i give you an example, if i go off to interview the cast of a pantomime in leeds, which is where i ended up working for six years or so — well, i actually worked in leeds on the paper for a couple of years. that's all that i did on the paper. but if you go and do a job like that, then you post your piece for the paper. but i would have my notes and i would be looking at it, and some of it would just be becoming a song in my mind, which it did, in fact, in the end — one more matinee. and i realised that i was becoming — slowly becoming what they call a so

towards the east and central areas, yorkshire, east anglia, this area here will get some fog. the north—east and eastern scotland will be pretty frosty first thing in the morning on christmas day. here the summary for christmas day, a patch of frost and fog. a lot of dry weather, maybe some drizzle here and there and you can see a pretty cloudy day. the best chance of some sunshine, the north—east, eastern scotland, maybe some sunny spells in wales. in the west of the country, a mild christmas day. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. rescue teams are trying to reach remote parts of the indonesian coast, where it's feared there are more victims of a deadly tsunami. officials say more than 370 people have died. there are warnings that eruptions at the volcanic island of anak krakatoa could trigger further deadly waves. delays on the roads and disruption for rail passengers is expected as people head home for the festive period.

there will also be a few brighter moments to the east of the pennines, particularly for yorkshire and lincolnshire. otherwise, it stays cloudy, and the front will bring some rain in the afternoon across scotland. that sinks southwards into southern scotland and northern ireland, so far hogmanay celebrations the skies were clear. a few showers, very windy, gust of around 75 mph in the northern isles four hogmanay celebrations. further southwards, the threat of some rain for northern ireland in southern scotland. just a few showers, really. south of this, it stays mainly cloudy, not particularly cold, and dry for those all—important midnight celebrations. do the rest of the night, the weather front pushes southwards, bringing a little bit of rain across england and the. some areas will avoid rain altogether. quite patchy in nature. looking at the picture for the first day of the new year, we have got it of and pushing southwards, a big area of high pressure to the west of the uk. that cold front is important. not only does it bring colder air across the uk, the more significantly, for

down into yorkshire as well, —1, —2 degrees but to the south of that it's closer to plus five for cardiff and for london. so it starts of bright if not sunny. sunny particularly in the east but very quickly this cloud you can see out west will be brought in by an increasing south—westerly breeze so it will end up pretty cloudy if not grey across many of these western areas. the milder spot will be plymouth, 12 degrees. pretty balmy here compared to newcastle, only around 5 degrees celsius. then on tuesday, slightly less cold air. even quite mild air heads our way. you can see the south—westerly wind and the sort of tunnel of warmth all the way up into the north. with that also a couple of weather fronts. 0ne here which is actually not going to bring as much rain, even though you can see rain here. this is another weather front here which is basicallyjust a fair bit of cloud. so tuesday, across much of scotland, england and wales, probably staying fairly cloudy, with some sunshine poking through. here's the other weather front. it's not making much progress so it'll stay to the west of

yorkshire saw 29 incidents, including doors being hit with a baseball bat. and london recorded 26 attacks, one in which a man threw a microwave. in november, the maximum prison term for people assaulting emergency workers doubled from six months to a year, however this doesn't include the damage of ambulances, or the equipment they carry. similar penalties for those that vandalise should also apply to those that are assaulting staff. we have crews in the back of ambulances, treating poorly patients and they are seeing bricks, seeing glass, seeing stones, and sometimes you are seeing chairs and tables being thrown at ambulances. you can repair an ambulance but it can take a lot longer for staff who have suffered the trauma of this to get over what they experience. the department of health and social care said nhs organisations do everything they can to protect their own equipment, and are working closely with police and the crown prosecution service to see that these individuals are rightly prosecuted. matt gravelin, bbc news. eastenders' albert square, has b

this is a gorgeous picture from hornsea in east yorkshire. i am getting lots of sunrise images coming through. those clearer skies are thanks to this ridge of high pressure building, but tomorrow this is waiting in the wings. low pressure and grey and wet for many. showers will be frequent across western scotland. in northern england, the north west and north wales, petering out in the afternoon. a few than northern ireland and a few stray further south. but most of the uk, a lot of fine weather, sunshine as well and hazy in the south as high cloud d rifts hazy in the south as high cloud drifts in through the afternoon. mild in the south. chilly after frosty start to the north of scotla nd frosty start to the north of scotland and the frost will return here overnight. chilly through the evening in the south of clear skies but if you are heading out it will be dry. rain not arriving into northern ireland and the west of england and wales until we get into the small hours of sunday. chilly night for scotland, temperatures below freezing in the

now when it gets dark quite quickly more fog will reform through lincolnshire and yorkshire and it could be dense. —— temperature—wise a bit cooler than it was yesterday. the weather front from the west introducing thicker cloud and drizzle. it will be cold as well with the blue hues on the charts, so freezing fog in eastern areas, but where we have cloud from the west, temperatures hold up a bit higher. so into christmas day and fog will linger, some will lift, it will be fairly cloudy for most on christmas day, some sunshine across north—east scotland, south—east england, and also north—east wales to name but a few and temperatures again nothing to write home about. and by the time we get to boxing day, well, still a fair bit of cloud around, the bright sky is likely across the south—east, and at the same time we have a weather front coming in across the north—west of scotland. that‘s going to introduce some rain which will turn heavier and more persistent as we go through the course of the day. so if you we re the course of the day. so if you were hoping for a white

let's continue with the overriding issue turning brexit debate, let's get the view from yorkshire where businesses have been reacting to the delay to the parliament brexit vote. the prime minister cancelled the vote on the withdrawal agreement yesterday after it became clear she couldn't get it through the commons and win the vote. but varying ideas on what should now happen continue to divide people across the county. here's bbc look north's spencer stokes. three different businesses, three different views on the route britain should now take. firstly, farmer rachel, who we last spoke to on a warm summer's evening in july. if we get a good trade deal, we'll be fine. if we do not get a good trade deal, and brexit day comes along and we fall off the so—called cliff that everybody‘s talking about, we have got an issue in the sheep industry. five months on and there is no trade deal, just a withdrawal agreement that a majority of mps won't back. it's time for mps to put aside their egos, put aside any of the thoughts on this. they've got to think about the bigger picture and the bigger

the airedale nhs foundation trust in west yorkshire saw the cost of a 24—hour stay more than double to £8, something locals have strong views about. i think it's atrocious. i have been in to... my friend's mum is dying, i have been in to drop some stuff off, and it's cost me three quid. it does work out expensive — it could be £10 per day. are the charges fair? i don't think so. they should be free, because people turning up to the car parks cannot necessarily afford it. the department of health today said it is very clear that patients, their families and hard—working staff should not be subject to unfair parking charges. the charges have been abolished in most of wales and scotland but they remain in england bringing an additional pain that many people that come into hospital would rather do without. as i said, this hospital like many others did not raise prices this year. they say the fees they did raise paid for the equivalent of something like 40 full—time nurses. they also say they have to maintain the car parks, and that also costs money. but i think really, there are th
