hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. we're nowjust a week out from iowa's presidential caucuses. donald trump remains the republican frontrunner, but can nikki haley or ron desantis build momentum?

mps will vote this evening on the government's plans to guarantee annual licenses for oil and gas projects in the north sea. the offshore petroleum licensing bill has caused some considerable unrest among conservative backbenchers, the former energy minister and mp for kingsdown, chris skidmore, has resigned over the issue. today ahead of the vote, the uk s former business and energy secretary, alok sharma, said he would oppose the bill, criticising it as a sign the government was not serious about its international climate commitments. the uk's independent climate change committee has also been pretty clear that continued expansion of new oil and gas reserves is inconsistent with our climate commitments. actually, if you really want to enhance energy security and bring down bills, the government should be delivering

on its ambitious plans for expanding home—grown clean energy. but rishi sunak�*s government is not the only one in europe looking again at its commitments on renewable energy — and how far that will take them. this weekend, the french government announced it will need more than the six new nuclear plants currently planned — possibly as many as m new plants — to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels, from 60 to 40% by 2035. the renowned french climatologist jean—machancovici, whose book world without end, sold nearly a million copies in france, said wind, solar and hydroelectric power "will not allow france to maintain today s modern industrial world". let's speak to david elmes, energy expert and co—lead of the university of warwick's global research priority — energy. thank you for being with us. our european government struggling right

now to make good on the commitments they've made at these cop summits? since rushdie invaded ukraine, we've seen gas prices in particular go up in europe, and governments across europe stopped buying russian gas, and that's because the prices to go up, that's caused inflation, that's not what keeps governments elected. so across the continent, governments are saying, well, there is now a bit of balance between energy security and meeting our climate objectives. but then it comes to the question of, well, what are you going to do about it? and there is a lot of debate that this bill on offshore petroleum licenses isn't actually very useful. it's not going to help either solve climate change and it's not necessarily going to encourage much more production of oil and gas. why? because eventually this would

be a sun gusset, you wouldn't be able to use in the oil and gas your drilling? able to use in the oil and gas your drillin: ? . v . able to use in the oil and gas your drillin: ? . �*, ., , ., able to use in the oil and gas your drillinu? . �*, . , ., . drilling? that's a question that if you're going _ drilling? that's a question that if you're going to _ drilling? that's a question that if you're going to invest _ drilling? that's a question that if you're going to invest money - drilling? that's a question that if| you're going to invest money in a licence for oil and gas for the north sea, you're going to spend billions of pounds up front and you need to have some certainty that you're going to get a decent price for that over decades. and so if you say, well, you know, the uk as god targets to reduce emissions by nearly 70% by 2030, and net zero by 2050, getting that return on your investment may not be in possible and you've seen some caution from companies prepared to put money into these licenses, and that's why the north sea transitional authority, the body that has the responsibility of oil and gas in the near term but

also transitioning to renewable energy, you've seen them say that, you know, this bill is something that's not necessary was the phrase that's not necessary was the phrase that they used in their board minutes. {iii that they used in their board minutes. u, , minutes. of course the united states doesnt minutes. of course the united states doesn't really — minutes. of course the united states doesn't really need _ minutes. of course the united states doesn't really need to _ minutes. of course the united states doesn't really need to sign _ minutes. of course the united states doesn't really need to sign any - minutes. of course the united states doesn't really need to sign any oil- doesn't really need to sign any oil and gas contracts even though donald trump would like to do just that, it's drilling more than any country in history, 30.3 million barrels a day. 0iland in history, 30.3 million barrels a day. oil and gas policy is not set by the president despite what donald trump would tell us, do you think more has to be done to get these companies away from the more traditional resource and toward renewables which could be there future? absolutely, and... amanda go ahead. it’s future? absolutely, and... amanda go ahead. �* , . future? absolutely, and... amanda go ahead. �*, . ., . ahead. it's a balancing act, there are certain _ ahead. it's a balancing act, there are certain parts _ ahead. it's a balancing act, there are certain parts of _ ahead. it's a balancing act, there are certain parts of the _ ahead. it's a balancing act, there are certain parts of the united i are certain parts of the united states— are certain parts of the united states that are very set on oil and

expensive, and for the one nuclear power station in the uk, that we are building, its going to end up being extremely expensive compared to renewables. in the same question also starts to go towards comparing renewables and oil and gas, in the long term what's the cost going to be? you know, the fields that are being proposed in the north sea, they are not the cheapest sources of oil and gas, certainly if you look around the world, and yeah, resorting to building new nuclear, it may provide domestic energy but at a certain price. so there's this cost question of, well, which sources of energy are going to be around for our children, but how much are they going to pay for it as well? ~ ., ., ., , ., well? will have to leave you there, thank ou well? will have to leave you there, thank you very _ well? will have to leave you there, thank you very much _ well? will have to leave you there, thank you very much for _ well? will have to leave you there, thank you very much for coming i well? will have to leave you there, thank you very much for coming on the programme. just before we go to the programme. just before we go to the break, in the last hours, the

boeing 737 max nine planes that delta have grounded today, the door was sucked out of that plane in portland and the investigation is continuing. they've discovered following routine preliminary inspections there were loose bolts on the 737 planes in its fleet, and they found instances that appear to relate to installation issues. boeing's share price dropped, billions off the share price that's going to have big repercussions in the united states, big questions for boeing and the contractors that supply some of those parts of the fuselage. we'll get plenty more on that on the bbc, do stay with us, you're watching bbc news.

which brings us neatly to election day in america. the republican primaries. we are a week away from the presidential caucuses in iowa. that time of year when a small, and mostly white mid west state gets an outsized say in national politics. for weeks the republican frontrunners have been touring every county in the state, every shools, every church hall every school, every church hall where no doubt they have pledged eternal loyalty, to corn—based ethanol. but seriously, this is the place, where nationwide campaigns begins, and where the rank outsider can sometimes find, much needed momentum. that would be nikki haley and ron de santis this year. both trailing heavily in the polls. donald trump, 30 points ahead, was this weekend in iowa on the 3rd anniversary of the jan 6th riot, bemoaning the treatment of those who were jailed. they ought to release thatj6 hostages. the j6 hostages. they've suffered enough, that ought to release them. they ought to release them. i call them hostages, some people call them prisoners. i call them hostages. release thej6 hostages, joe. release them, joe.

you can do it real easy, joe. the chair of the republicans was talking about january six hostages as well. it's going to be reflective of how it's going to go for donald trump, he is going to be in washington for this federal case, then he goes to iowa, then to new york for the civilfraud then he goes to iowa, then to new york for the civil fraud case on thursday. and that is really how donald trump is going to have to roll throughout his campaign. that’s roll throughout his campaign. that's riaht, but roll throughout his campaign. that's right. but he — roll throughout his campaign. that's right, but he uses _ roll throughout his campaign. that's right, but he uses those _ roll throughout his campaign. “trust�*s right, but he uses those platforms to make sure he gets his message out, and so we will see more of that wealth for any candidate you'd think this would be debilitating and they couldn't get out, he actually uses these moments to send the message he wants to his supporters who are following his every single word. so

as we think about him not being in iowa, and yet he holds that key pulling position, might not be true in a place like new hampshire, but largely across the country he has a very strong base that stays with him and seize any attack on him as an attack on them. and so these moments will not slow him down too much. it's very strong, his base and i will. he's 30 points ahead of nikki haley and rhonda santos. when i say that iowa starts to signal how the races going, it hasn't done actually in recent years, i wonder if there is any point to eye with these days? while there is for the second one, right? the question will be is it rhonda santos that moves forward or nikki haley? that's really the race going on. —— ron desantis. what they're really trying to do is who is in that second position going

into new hampshire and then north carolina. ., , into new hampshire and then north carolina. . , , ., carolina. nikki haley is the one with the momentum, _ carolina. nikki haley is the one with the momentum, someonej with the momentum, someone supporting rhonda santos said we have to help the patient, which is like they're helping an ailing person. she is the one with the momentum. person. she is the one with the momentum-— person. she is the one with the momentum. ~ ., ., , , ., person. she is the one with the momentum. ., ., ,, ., momentum. what does she need to do? whether it's polls _ momentum. what does she need to do? whether it's polls that _ momentum. what does she need to do? whether it's polls that move _ whether it's polls that move from the beginning to where they are not, that movement really matters it up specially going into new hampshire. remember, iowa is a caucus state and anything can happen in any of these different counties, and what happens in that auditorium or the gym really matters, or if you are racing against somebody, that very last minute you have to go all across the state and really go to places where you have your caucus leaders who can pull out at the very last minute and make sure you win that county is a very big deal. so you will see it rhonda santos and nikki haley —— ron

was a fearless player known for his aggressive and attacking style, and was synonymous with their glories of the 1970s. williams won three grand slams in the five nations, as it was known then, with wales. he earned 55 caps for his country and started all eight tests on the victorious lions tours to new zealand in 1971 and south africa three years later. his death was announced by bridgend ravens, a club that williams played for and became club president. in a statement they said: "jpr's passing leaves a huge void at the club, and our thoughts are with his friends and family at this sad time." tributes for one of football's greatest icons have been pouring in, following the news that franz beckenbauer has died at the age of 78. the german and world cup legend had a nearly two—decade—long career, during which he won the world cup as captain of west germany in 1974, then went on to lift the trophy again as manager in 1990. joe lynskey has been

looking back on his life. a world cup winning captain, a world cup winning coach. franz beckenbauer was the defender and the leader in football's most exclusive club. beckenbauer. his first time at the tournament was in 1966, when, at 20 for west germany, he played in every match. they lost the final to england, but beckenbauer was emerging as the man at the back who could glide up the field. his country called him the kaiser, the emperor, and as captain, he made them serial winners. first in 1972 as european champions, then two years later, in a world cup on home soil. it was just the first piece of his extraordinary career. at his club, bayern munich, he won three european cups. franz beckenbauer! he'd end his playing days in the states, with new york cosmos.

the players seemed destined for management, his first coaching job would be to lead his country. and that it tell you 90, he made them world champions. he helped his nation off the field, adding the bid to host the 2006 world cup. beckenbauer was later charged with corruption, his trial ending without a verdict. but on the field, his achievements were without dispute in a career forever linked with his sport's greatest prize. franz beckenbauer won it in defence and in the dugout. we're deep into the second half of manchester united's third round fa cup tie against wigan. a must win for united, while wigan — who've been struggling in league one — could benefit from a good cup run. after 80 minutes it's 2—0 to manchester united, diogo dalot with the goal in the first half.

marcus rashford sent the ball goal—ward, but his effort was blocked and he laid it off for dalot who curled it into the bottom corner. in the last few minutes bruno fernandez has doubled the lead from the penalty spot. the winner of that match will play either newport county or eastleigh, and we know that because the draw for the fourth round has already taken place. let's take a look at the other fixtures — an all premier league match between chelsea v aston villa at stamford bridge. the lowest side still left in the competition, maidstone united will travel to ipswich. liverpool will host either norwich or bristol rovers, and the holders manchester city travel to tottenham. those ties will be played across the weekend of the 27th—28th. for the full draw, go to the bbc sport website. ronnie 0'sullivan has beaten ding junhui in a memorable first—round match at the masters after the chinese player made a history—making11i7. ronnie raced into a 4—0 lead. ding fought back to take the next three frames, including that 147,

but 0'sullivan dug in and won the next two to get over the line. both players receiving a standing ovation from the alexandra palace crowd at the end of the match. so let's take a closer look at that historic 147 maximum breakfor ding. this was ding's second 147 at the prestigious event, but only the fourth ever. kirk stevens, in 1984, and marco fu nine years ago, are the only other players to have achieved the feat. they are level at four frames each, first to six is the target, you can catch up with that live on bbc two, and on the bbc sport website, that's all the support for now. hello there. well, it was a cold day on monday,

with a few snow flurries affecting parts of east anglia and southern england. but the big story from last week still hasn't completely resolved itself, in that we still have over 100 flood warnings currently in force. i think the situation will get better over the next few days, which won't have that much in the way of precipitation coming our way. now, the snow flurries that we did see across east anglia, in south—east england, for the most part weren't very exciting. there were just one or two areas that managed to cover maybe a centimetre or two injust one or two spots. but as we go through this evening and overnight, particularly where we've seen showers by day, we're looking at some icy stretches, but also with a bit of water still coming off those saturated fields, we could have some icy stretches just about anywhere, to be honest, as we head into tuesday morning. so a slippery start to the day both under wheel and underfoot. tuesday will be another cold day, with those easterly winds continuing to make it feel particularly bitter. now weather—wise, much better prospects of seeing sunshine across east anglia, the midlands, south—east england. further northward, still a lot of cloud around, and the cloud will continue to feed in a few showers for eastern scotland

and into north—east england. for the most part, these showers will be falling as rain. 0n the whole, the temperatures not really changing very much between what we had today and what we'll have tomorrow — highs of around four or five degrees for most. by wednesday, the same area of high pressure is with us. it's changing orientation, and we're starting to get these north—easterly winds moving in. they'll bring some patches of drizzle around some of our north sea coasts, with the cloud extending further southwards. best of any sunshine probably for southern wales and southern counties of england. now, beyond that, through thursday, those northerly winds continue to push their cloud sheets ever further southward, so turning cloudy across southern areas. the best of the breaks in the cloud probably to the north and west, the cloud thick enough again around some of our north sea coasts to bring a few showers, mostly light and drizzly kind of features. temperatures coming up a little bit around those eastern areas of england, but still feeling cold. and that cold theme continues through friday and into the weekend as well, with some sharp overnight frosts and temperatures below average by day.

now, beyond that into next week, looks like the weather gets a bit more interesting. we get northerly winds diving in, lots of snow showers across the north. we could also have some more organised areas of precipitation running into that cold air, bringing a threat of some areas of more widespread snow.
