good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. the head of lloyd's of london says the insurance giant will announce "within months" where it will create a new european base following brexit. lloyd's insurance market has traded in the capital for more than 300 years, but is now finalising contingency plans to move staff to a subsidary office, depending on the government's negotiations with the eu. we've got to have people physically in another country looking after that business, whereas previously they would have been based in london. that is only a small proportion for vogts, but if other businesses have to follow suit, they will be people based outside of london —— burma. i'm sure london will still remain the global heart of insurance globally —— lloyd's. an appeal is due to be held today into the case of a british—iranian woman from hampstead who is being held in an iranian prison on ‘secret charges'. nazanin zaghari ratcliffe was taken out of solitary confinement over christmas, which her husband, richard, says was

london underground says there is no need for a strike. we will continue our process of recruiting additional people and we also want to work with the trade unions over the next couple of months to identify where we may need to strengthen that. this dispute could only be resolved by the trade unions working with us collaboratively and talking around the table, not through strike action. some commuters face further disruption this week in an unrelated strike on southern rail services. passengers are being told to travel only if essential on tuesday, wednesday and friday, when train drivers belonging toa to a aslef are expected to be on strike over a long—running dispute over the role of guards and the company said there will be no services on strike days with only a limited number of bus links instead. the industrial advection —— the industrial action today is not in both overground industrial action today is not in both overg round rail services industrial action today is not in both overground rail services but there has been no int

to avert a strike on the london underground broke down. members of the rmt union will walk out for 2h hours from 6pm in a dispute overjobs and the closure of some ticket offices. another union — the tssa said london underground offered it a ‘new‘ deal during talks at the conciliation service acas which it will put to its members. a powerful blizzard sweeping parts of the us has been causing havoc in the country‘s south as temperatures plummeted and record amounts of snow fell in several states. arctic conditions paralysed caused concerns for safety in cities where sub—freezing conditions are rare. while the damage caused by the downfall has been minimal, it has caused severe disruptions as kathryn armstrong reports. for some, the snow is a welcome arrival and they took it in their stride. but for thousands of people in america but deep south, winter storm helena has been little cause for celebration. a —— after 800 metres of snow was recorded cutting power to dent the tens of thousands of homes. traffic incidents were recorde

staff in the london ambulance control room had to log calls for nearly five hours overnight. richard lister has more. three, two, one! new year's eve, hundreds of thousands of people pour onto the streets of the capital, creating the busiest night of the for the london ambulance service. its control room keeps watch over more than 600 square miles and 7 million people, using a sophisticated computer system. but just after midnight, that system failed. the computer crash meant that all call details had to be written down. call handlers couldn't see where the ambulances were. they had to use radios to contact paramedics. inevitably, that meant delays. we do deal with the most critically ill and seriously patients first, and we continued to do that last night. obviously, i'd like to apologise to any patients who did have a slightly extended waiting time while we were dealing with the system on paper. the london ambulance service says because it has no computer record, it doesn't know exactly how many calls it dealt with last night. these were some of the incidents they attended,
