our main story: the foreign secretary, david cameron, has said the uk had "no choice" but to take military action against houthi targets in yemen following weeks of attacks on vessels in the red sea. the uk and the us launched dozens of strikes on thursday night after houthi fighters had caused major disruption along the shipping route. simonjones reports. they are af typhoon jets called into action on thursday to strike targets in yemen. action the foreign secretary argues that the uk had to take stock writing in the sunday telegraph, lord cameron says... and this is what the houthi militia

have been doing, targeting ships off the coast of yemen. sometimes boarding them, other vessels have been attacked with drones and missiles. what the group shows —— although to support. today marks the 100th day of the ongoing conflict between israel and hamas. yemen has a key strategic position in the middle east, especially when it comes to global shipping. the red sea shipping route typically looks like this. it is one of the busiest in the world, transporting 15% of traded goods largely from east to west. because of the with the attacks, many major shipping firms have diverted around southern africa. it takes ten days longer, adding $1 million to the real cost of an average container ship. yemen may be thousands of miles from the uk, by the foreign secretary is keen to stress that what happened there and in the red sea has the potential to affect life in britain. he says that if vital supply chains can continue to be threatened, then that

will push up prices in the shops globally. this satellite pictures show that airfield in yemen before it was hit by strikes on thursday. this one shows the damaged caused. both the uk and have described their action as proportionate. the both the uk and have described their action as proportionate.— action as proportionate. the targets will have been _ action as proportionate. the targets will have been under— action as proportionate. the targets will have been under a _ action as proportionate. the targets will have been under a lot _ action as proportionate. the targets will have been under a lot of - will have been under a lot of intelligent scrutiny for a while because the stationary targets in the target predominately in the main radar site. , ., . ~ u, radar site. president once america has delivered _ radar site. president once america has delivered a _ radar site. president once america has delivered a private _ radar site. president once america has delivered a private message . radar site. president once america | has delivered a private message to iran. the us insists the radiant intelligence is critical in enabling the who —— houthis. there have been protests in yemen against the uk and us strikes. with this spokesman claimed have had no significant impact on the group's ability to affect shipping. but both the us and uk maintain they will always act to defend the freedom of navigation.

simon jones, bbc news. a little later in the programme we will be speaking to the vice—chair of the defence committee. that is about the situation in yemen. for the moment, it is a time to get the rest of today's news with roger, including a momentous day for the danish royal family. queen margrethe of denmark will formally abdicate the throne today following her surprise announcement that she was stepping down on new year's eve. thousands are expected in the capital copenhagen to see her eldest son frederik and his australian wife mary be proclaimed as the new king and queen, as our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. it was 1972 when denmark last did this — preparing for a change of sovereign. there will be plenty of pomp, but the danes don't do the big coronation ceremony.

instead, at christiansborg palace, the declaration of abdication will be signed and the new king proclaimed from the balcony. last week queen margrethe said her goodbyes, a final gilded carriage ride through copenhagen after 52 years on the throne. she'd always said this was a job for life until her surprise announcement on new year's eve. speaks danish poor health had led to a change of mind. and if the social media response was anything to go by, denmark didn't see this coming. i think we are all shocked, because we had never realised that the queen could ever decide to abdicate. i think she just wants to relax a little more and maybe see her son become a king. the end of a long reign of a popular queen could be unsettling for denmark, especially after

the surprise abdication, but the arrival of the new, younger photogenic king and queen could energise the royalfamily and cement support amongst the danish people. the official portraits of the new king and queen, frederik x of denmark and his australian—born wife queen mary. the couple met in a bar in sydney during the 2000 olympics and married 20 years ago. they start their new roles amid rumours of problems in their relationship. queen mary is now widely viewed as key to the success of her husband's reign. frederik x will be a very different monarch from his mother because he's much more informal, you can compare him with william and kate in the uk. queen mary will be a very important person. she is very relaxed when talking to people and she has done a lot of work for the monarchy and danish society. copenhagen is ready, thousands will be here for a taste of what it has to offer.

from the oldest patisserie in the city, a new king means new cakes. on an historic day where a popular monarch steps aside to make way for her son. daniela relph, bbc news, copenhagen. those cakes look good, don't they? we will be alive in copenhagen little bit later in the programme. —— live. taiwan's new president, william lai, has vowed to stand up to chinese intimidation in his first speech after his election victory. beijing has repeated that taiwan is part of china and has previously referred to the territory's new leader as a "dangerous separatist". 0ur reporter shaimaa khalil is in taipei for us. good morning to you. thank you for joining us again today. the dust starting to settle in this election result. how historic is this election result? good morning. ithink good morning. i think my ears are still ringing in my head is still hurting from all the cheering and chanting and screams and music and

of course william lai's victory speech last night, the ruling party has secured a third, a record unprecedented term in power. but it wasn't a landslide. they lost the majority in parliament. that will be a different experience for them. but what is going to stay the same is their stance with china, their policies towards beijing because william lai has vowed to maintain the status quo, and that is asserting's taiwan's self governing fans moving away from china's orbiter closer to the united states. this is increasingly angered beijing and of course in the recent months we have seen beijing ramp up its military presence around the island, which raised the fears of this threat and potential conflict. there are different variations of anxiety among the voters that i have been speaking to. we have all heard from china reacting, saying again, taiwan as part of china, there is only one china in the world. interestingly,

the us secretary of state antony blinken has congratulated taiwan on the robust democratic process. there are so many issues that the ruling party will have two address domestically. but internationally, regionally, china's shadow still casts very heavily here.- regionally, china's shadow still casts very heavily here. thank you very much- _ casts very heavily here. thank you very much- our — casts very heavily here. thank you very much. our reporter _ casts very heavily here. thank you very much. our reporter live - casts very heavily here. thank you very much. our reporter live in - very much. 0ur reporter live in taiwan this morning. drivers following satnavs will no longer be sent down closed roads as part of government plans to ensure the navigation systems are kept up to date. under the new measures, temporary speed limits or road closures will be automatically updated on satnavs and data, including the location of parking spaces, will also be available. we —— parking spaces will also be made available. us republicans in the state of iowa will begin the formal process of choosing a candidate for this year's presidential elections tomorrow, although donald trump is the favourite to win the nomination. however, sub—freezing temperatures could affect turnout, as carl nasman reports.

despite the brutally cold weather here in iowa, most of the candidates back out on the campaign trail in person. nikki haley and ron desantis urging their supporters to show up and make sure to cast their votes on caucus night. donald trump has mostly been missing in action over the past 2a hours or so but he is now back in iowa, he is expected to hold a rally on sunday afternoon, one of his committee to caucus events. all of these candidates are very much aware that the weather, the snow on the street is likely to affect turnout. the enthusiasm is going to play a key role. which candidate will inspire those voters to get out on what is expected to be a record low temperature night here in iowa? well, the latest polls show donald trump may have that enthusiasm edge. this is the last poll to be released in the state before the boxes. it is now at 48%

and this could be really a battle for second place. nikki haley now coming in at 20% ahead of ron desantis, who is at 16% and there is not a lot of campaign time left. 0ur reporter in iowa this morning. fewer than one in 10 injuries involving e—scooters are being reported to the police. that's according to data analysed by the independent parliamentary advisory council for transport safety, which says more accurate figures are needed to understand the dangers that they pose. jon donnison has this report. he scooters, a decade ago almost unheard of. these days they are a common sight —— e—scooters. but our charity that advises the government that injuries from three are being underreported and data needs to be collected more rigorously. llntiil underreported and data needs to be collected more rigorously.— collected more rigorously. untilwe really understand _ collected more rigorously. untilwe really understand how _ collected more rigorously. untilwe really understand how hazardous i collected more rigorously. untilwe| really understand how hazardous or dangerous they are, we can't understand what they need to be

big news from eastenders. 0h, big news from eastenders. oh, yes. do you want to tell them or should i? i don't want as well the fun. —— want to spoil the fun. eastenders has announced that patsy palmer will be returning to the bbc soap this spring, reprising her role as the feisty bianca jackson. ricky! you could put that on loop and have it playing! that is brilliant. it's been 30 years since we first heard that unforgettable shriek directed at bianca's on—again, off—again partner ricky. patsy firstjoined the show in 1993 and last appeared in walford in 2019. the actor says "it's always a pleasure to be back". that is brilliant, isn't it? we are just going to hear that... ricky! ricky! everybody will be shouting it again. we'll be talking more about patsy�*s return, as well as some other

telly highlights, with critic scott bryan just before 9:00 this morning. which i absolutely love. gladiators. it transported me back to the 90s almost immediately. all that to look forward to. for all of that, let's see how the weather is looking this morning. get a first check on the forecast. good morning, louise. is it out there? you need some decent stuff to watch on the telly because it is properly not the day you want to go out, it's better! it doesn't quite reach the far south but it is on its way. a colder day and it is just really allowing for a bitterly cold week ahead, i'm afraid, which means we will see some snow showers around. a few weak weather fronts at the moment thinking south, that's why it's not as cold. but it has opened up it's not as cold. but it has opened up the door for this arctic air to fly in seby have snow showers. these will continue across the far north of scotland, low enough for down to

sea level as well which is worth bearing in mind and on top of that, to add insult to injury across the northern isles, gusts 60—70 miles an hour plus. further south, across england and wales there is quite a lot of cloud and this weak weather front will produce the odd spot or too of light rain. a bit of a nuisance but that's why we have slightly cloudy skies and we will be chasing cloud around but it's also the reason it's not quite as cold as further north. looking at highs of six or seven degrees and further north its three or four. 0vernight, this think i could fall it sinks itself —— further north it sinks so perhaps ten centimetres of snow accumulating in the far north of scotland and temperatures as low as _7’ scotland and temperatures as low as —7, so i hard frost likely. a cold start for all of us though. into monday, the cold air is sitting in place. anywhere with exposure within

northerly wind is at risk of seeing some snow across scotland. if few wintry flakes perhaps down to north sea coasts and maybe the irish sea. sandwiched between, lots of sunshine. it will be cold and the temperatures are likely to struggle. just a couple of degrees above freezing but factor in the strength and direction of the wind, it's probably going to feel more like below freezing so bitterly cold on monday. tuesday, things get interesting because this weather front that's starting to push in from the north—west so we keep showers in the far north but on top of it, as it bumps into the cold air, because the spell of more prolonged snow across central areas of scotland, maybe to the north of england and across north of ireland as well so you need to keep watching the forecast if you live there or you are travelling to and from those areas. still a cold day for england and wales, plenty of sunshine around as well though. low pressure still

on wednesday. it looks chiefly to go into france but we will need to continue to keep an eye on it because it may well creep that little bit further north and we don't want you to be caught out. generally, through the week ahead, yes, it's colder and there will be some snow, mainly in the north, but the frosts are going to be a feature. a wide, hard frost overnight. you will certainly need your thermals at the ready, i suspect. your thermals at the ready, i susect. ~ ., , your thermals at the ready, i susect. . .,, , your thermals at the ready, i susect. ~ .,, , ., your thermals at the ready, i susect. . ., , , ., ., your thermals at the ready, i susect. ~ . , , ., ., ., ~ suspect. wrap up warm for walking the do , suspect. wrap up warm for walking the dog. in — suspect. wrap up warm for walking the dog. in my _ suspect. wrap up warm for walking the dog, in my case, _ suspect. wrap up warm for walking the dog, in my case, i _ suspect. wrap up warm for walking the dog, in my case, i think! - suspect. wrap up warm for walking j the dog, in my case, i think! thank you. it is 18 minutes past six. 0liver steeper was just nine months old when he died following a choking incident at his nursery, and since then, his parents have been determined that no other family should suffer the same loss. now, zoe and lewis have launched a charity to raise money for anti—choking devices to be installed in schools and nurseries, now, zoe and lewis have launched a charity to raise money for anti—choking devices to be installed in schools and nurseries,

until the end to retain the title. they showed me again against huddersfield, the way they run and they play and again today, so i'm really, really pleased. it was end to end brave football. i thought— it was end to end brave football. i thought we looked a really good team _ thought we looked a really good team. we probablyjust ran out of -as team. we probablyjust ran out of gas in _ team. we probablyjust ran out of gas in the — team. we probablyjust ran out of gas in the second half. they kept the ball— gas in the second half. they kept the ball really well. they probed, they made it difficult for us. it looks— they made it difficult for us. it looks like _ they made it difficult for us. it looks like we had done enough for a point _ looks like we had done enough for a point with— looks like we had done enough for a point with three minutes left but with the — point with three minutes left but with the way that we defended and saw the _ with the way that we defended and saw the game out but we just couldn't— saw the game out but we just couldn't do it. in saturday's other premier league game, it was cole palmer's penalty that gave chelsea a 1—0 victory over west london rivals fulham. raheem sterling was brought down in the area on the stroke of half—time to give palmer the chance from 12 yards. and chelsea's star man did not miss, sending bernd leno the wrong way from the spot. the win puts chelsea up to eighth with mauricio pochettino looking for his side to build momentum. through the victory, we can find a

level that we want. i think we need to push in now we have a break, it will be good for our play because we were short in the squad and too many players made too many games and was massive and they deserve to have a break now. jadon sancho had a great start in his return to borussia dortmund with an assist just days after his loan move from manchester united. the 23—year—old hadn't played since august after refusing to apologise to united manager erik ten hag. sancho was a second—half substitute and set up marco reus�*s goal in dortmund's 3—0 win over darmstadt. tennis, and the australian open is under way but the first brit in action in the main draw, jodie burrage, is out. she took the first set but then lost the next two to germany's tamara korpatsch on what was her first time in the australian open main draw. burrage was the first of seven britons playing in the singles with the rest in action on monday or tuesday.

there was a dramatic late win for exeter over glasgow as they got through to the knockout stage of rugby union's champions cup competition. exeter won by 19 points to 17. leinster also secured their spot in the last 16, while harlequins had a comfortable win over cardiff, as ben croucher reports. rugby can be all about fine margins, a skirmish for space and supremacy. the tunnel not excluded. a try piece in the first half — that space was exploited best by glasgow, stretching exeter�*s defence to score. exeter found the smallest of gaps for dan frost to haul them back into it. they rouse themselves again! they would need to do it once more. enter zack wimbush off the bench, over the try line with minutes to spare. 19-17.

with time running out, glasgow thought they'd won it. cheering but remember those fine margins? euan ferrie's fleetness of foot was too fast. penalised for offside, no try. the final insult in injury time. but the win assures exeter a spot in the knockouts. where cardiff probably won't be, having lost their first two defeat against harlequins leaves their destiny out of their hands. quins came from behind. england flyhalf marcus smith scored on his 150th club appearance. and 54-15 and sir—15 win. the gap between cardiff and qualification group wider. ben croucher, bbc news. britain's armed forces work together routinely in operations around the world, but occasionally, the teamwork makes way for sporting rivalry. the royal navy beat the royal air force 28—22 on saturday in the first round of rugby league's challenge cup. services were invited to enter

the competition back in 1999, and have rubbed shoulders with professional clubs on occasion. the navy have a decent record in the competition after reaching the fourth round two years ago. at the track european championships in the netherlands, katy marchant took another step towards the olympics. she is now the first british woman to become european 500m time trial champion. marchant crossed the line just under four—hundredths of a second quicker than france's taky marie—divine kouame. it's her first european title, and she says all being well, she should be heading to paris. meanwhile, ethan hayter won gold in the omnium with victory in the final event — the points race. it's his second gold of the championships after being part of the winning men's team pursuit on thursday. it is the final of snooker�*s masters tonight at the alexandra palace, and ronnie 0'sullivan will be in it after a 6—2 win over shaun murphy. the world number one took a 3—1 lead at the mid—session break.

despite a century from murphy to bring him within one frame, 0'sullivan then took the next three on the bounce to secure victory. don't forget — he is the tournament's youngest winner, taking it for the first time almost 29 years ago. he could now become its oldest too, but 0'sullivan isn't worried by his age. i don't feel that old. i feel... laughter i know what my age is but i feel young in my mind, ifeel younger around a table than i do when playing these young players, they look old, the way they... their brains are quite slow, so, for me... cheering i still feel like my brain is still pretty quick around a snooker table, which is enough. they need to get their act together, because i'm going blind and have bad knees! 48 years and he is still sharp, still has it. he is not afraid to criticise anyone.

he is an entertainer, isn't he? he is one of those people thatjust transcends. even if you don't watch snooker, you will find him very entertaining. if he wins tonight this will be his eighth masters title. amazing. iam not this will be his eighth masters title. amazing. i am not surprised he has dodgy knees. he is a really good runner. he posted a video on twitter of a security guard not letting him in. he makes some quite off—colour comments earlier this week. we will move on from now. ronnie 0'sullivan is brilliant. we'll be back at 7:00 with the headlines. now on breakfast, it's time for the travel show. europe by train — for generations of backpackers, inter—railers, as well as for me,

it is what travel is all about. and in germany, the railways are booming, partly because of this. it's called the deutschlandticket. it costs me 49 euros a month, and it allows me almost unlimited use of the country's regional public transport network. it was a cost—of—living measure introduced in 2023, initially atjust 9 euros each. i do love a train — who doesn't? so i'm planning to take them to criss—cross the country and get a better look at the close relationship between germans and their railways. from berlin's iconic u—bahn to the incredible hanging overhead railway of the industrial west, to the makeshift island trains of the northern coast... the water, the lights — this is stunning. i'm here to see how engineering and a bit of imagination have led to a network like no other.

with almost 40,000km of track, germany's rail network is the longest in europe, which makes it the perfect place to explore by train. but from berlin's vast central station, i'm taking an even cheaperform of transport for a spot of sightseeing. all right, we're doing it. we're crossing the tramway. ahh! fabulous. oh, it's beautiful. i can see the tv tower on my left, and it's so cloudy, the tip of it is just unseen. alexanderplatz is these days the touristic heart of the capital. until 1989, it was the main public square in communist east berlin. so i was born in 1990, which is a year after the berlin wall came down,

so for myself and i'm sure for a generation younger, there is no recollection of those news events, so being able to be here and just get a sense of what it might have been like is still quite special. by 1989, the berlin wall had forcibly divided the city for 28 years, with the communists controlling the eastern part of the city while the capitalist west controlled the west of berlin. travel between the two was strictly controlled, and in most cases, forbidden. but i'm heading down into the u—bahn, berlin's underground rail network, which i can access with the deutschlandticket. 0k, u8 this way. 0oh! now, alexanderplatz was in the east, so anybody getting on the u—bahn, three stops in that direction,

had to wait on board while they got safely four stops down that way. this was effectively a ghost station. they were manned, guarded — you definitelyjust could not get off. athena kerins leads tours for a group called berlin underworld, which explores the tunnels and passageways underneath the city. so alexanderplatz would have been a ghost station, pretty eerie. what would that have been like? so, for the west berliners coming through, it would have been dark, a little bit eerie, withjust the glowing emergency exit signs, maybe a bit of light creeping in from the tunnel itself. for the east berliners, it would have been completely different, because they weren't allowed to know about this at all. if they knew that it was coming through here, they might be tempted to get into the train station

or the tunnels and use them to escape. but even before those 28 years of division, the tunnels down here harboured secrets. athena's taken me to one of the world war ii bomb shelters built into the u—bahn network. oh, wow! welcome to pankstrasse. welcome to our bunker. how long would they have stayed down here? as the war progressed, and especially as the americans joined the war, the americans bombed in the day, the british bombed by night, and towards the battle of berlin, there was also street fighting. people were down here days on end. it's quite interesting because you can hear rumbling going past. you get that big rumbling, passing noise all the time. would they have been aware that this bunker was here? you mean the... the passengers, yes. yeah, for sure, because this was used primarily by people

who were in the transit system and during the bombing raid had to come somewhere. the people in here were lucky. as we go a few stops up the u8 line, athena takes me forward in time to a later shelter, a symptom of berlin's position on the fault line of the historic tensions between east and west. welcome. so this is the bunker, or there is a bunker nearby? there's actually... we're in the bunker already, because this entire station is the bunker. it was originally opened in 1977 to be a multi—purpose facility. so it's both a train station, as you just saw, but also, in a 48—hour preparation period, it can be turned into an atomic fallout shelter. so this is some of our many, many dormitories. a big luxury here is that we actually all get our own bed, which is not standard

for bunkers like this. we have several dormitories, but on top of that, about 2,000 people would have to be sleeping on the train platform itself. this is the pillow. that's the blanket and the pillow. they are quite literally paper. oh, wow. so this is a kitchen, essentially for everybody. this is not a kitchen, this is the kitchen. the kitchen. this place is going to feed 3,339 people two meals a day. thankfully, we're not eating anything too glamorous. it's mostly going to be soups, assorted soups out of the cans. in this can is actually a dehydrated, jellified soup concentrate rather than normal soup. this is giving me sort of 1970s lab. yes, already a step above the last one. there is in fact a ventilation system here. so this place isn't going to protect us from a direct hit from a bomb, but in theory, if the rest

of the world goes to war, this place can protect us from the radioactive fallout. 0k. while this now looks like a relic of a bygone era, the german government has recently been investigating the possibility of restoring bunkers like these for use in the future. i know immediately following the russian invasion of ukraine, the topic came up a lot in germany. and the ministry for the interior did do a preliminary survey, because in the height of the cold war, there were quite literally thousands of these places around all of germany. most of the experts in the areas of civil defence have agreed that it's not really a productive use of money. it costs an insane amount of money to even just repair the ones that they've let fall into disrepair. but i'm surfacing for some fresh air now, and back to the capital's modern main station, hauptbahnhof, in search of trains bound

for germany's industrial west. so i've been able to use my deutschlandticket for this, but the big restriction is that you can't use it on the high—speed trains, so it's going to take probably twice the amount of time to actually travel around. you do need a bit of patience for this. you can buy a more expensive ticket and travel direct but the cut—price method means changing trains five times. so, i may have missed this one. wait, it's also late, so that means that i'll be fine. add to that the uncharacteristic delays and disruption that have dogged the german railway network in recent times and you'll need to leave plenty of time to make your connections. five—minute delay —

that means we're good, right? 0h! oh, so i have missed it. we've missed it. it's also quite fiddly to buy. you need to subscribe to a deutschlandticket, which means a monthly direct debit. so, if you're only here for a couple of weeks, you need to remember to cancel that as soon as your trip is over. otherwise, you continue paying after you've headed home. my next stop is in the west of the country, not far from the industrial giants that have made this part of the world such an economic force. so, this is wuppertal. it's sandwiched between the two powerhouses of cologne and dortmund. it is much smaller in comparison but it has one thing going for it that has made it world—famous, and it's right there.

the schwebebahn is a suspended monorail. the carriages hang from a track about 12m above the streets and the rivers of wuppertal. hello! hi, inge! nice to meet you! i'm meeting inge, who grew up riding the schwebebahn and even got married on it back in 2006. it was built in 1893 01’1894 but only in 1901 it was ready. and then you could go from one town to the other. that's over 120 years that this has been standing here. yes. what do you think was the impression of the residents when they first saw this? they were impressed, i think.

said, it's... "what is this? " excited. ja! they feared it because they thought they could come and take them away or something like that. they didn't want the schwebebahn. it's coming. shall we get on? yes. shall we stand? yes. i kind of want to feel it move. yes, hold on. 0h, hold on? it's going to move a lot? ok, you hold on as well. it does feel like it's sort of hovering, levitating. yes. a little bit bumpy but it's ok, it's pretty smooth. and so, what are some of your memories of being on here? it was very funny. my grandma — she came to wuppertal the first time in 1953. she stood at the street and looked up and said, "how can you come into the schwebebahn?"

because she couldn't see that there was a platform. what do you think it represents for the people here? i think they like it because it's the one in the world. but i think they like to go from one place to the other in a short time. i think about 85,000 people a day take it. oh, thank you! given all that history, it's a bit of a surprise there's been no proper museum to the schwebebahn. butjust as i arrived, all that is about to change. tomorrow, the schwebodrom opens and i'm here to meet its managing director tomas helbig as he makes the final few preparations. come in. hello, tom. how are you doing? fine. it's great that you are coming here. thank you. i'm excited. it's looking good. do you have anything left that you need to do today before tomorrow? we have to clean up a little bit but 95—98%, we are ready and it's great that you are coming

here to our schwebebahn experience. emily, please enter the first room. it is our projection world. and here, we tell the story of mobility — why it was necessary to build the schwebebahn because the population increased massively in the middle of the 19th century as industrialisation came. as well as the projection, there are reminders of what the carriages looked like through the ages. and then, of course, this is like this, but you can't lean back. a lego diorama of wuppertal but the piece de resistance is at the end. emily, let'sjust enter carriage number 11. here you see that it's still — you can still open the windows, for example. just put them on. 0oh! the brain really — after five seconds, you are in the world of 1929

and you really think you are making a left or right turn. a lot of people thought that it is against god, that it's too speedy, that it's too much metal over the river, that it looks ugly. other people who didn't have the vision that this will change the mobility in the valley completely. the next day, and the grand opening attracts quite a crowd. applause. all: drei, zwei, eins! singing. how was that for you? how are you feeling? oh, it was very emotional and i am really happy that it's now open. yes, it's great. all of your hard work! oh, i can feel the emotion!

yes, i think people that come here and then, they will see what a history wuppertal has to tell and what a lovely town it is. and they will go back to their home town and they will tell, "we had a really good day in wuppertal". i am using the deutschlandticket to head north out of germany's cities and to its coast. train horn blares. in the summer, the trains up here get busy with beach lovers. but the sunshine and crowds have thinned a little by the time i arrive. oh, wow. very windy! 0k, very, very windy!

and this is schleswig—holstein, in the north—west of germany. any further north and i'll be arriving in denmark. from here, i'm heading out over the sea. but it's not a boat i'll be taking. this is amazing! fabulous! pleasure to meet you! hello, emeline! this is the lorenbahn? ja! komm! the lorenbahn trains service the hallig islands, which are cut off by the mainland from flooding, up to 50 times a year. people living here use the little trains to get around. each family has its own wagon or lore, and every one is unique. claudia has offered to give me a ride on hers. you have to be very physically fit to do this, don't you? oh, she's changing the rails across! right!

got the birds flying, the water, the light — this is stunning! so, claudia, when did the lorenbahn start?

but there's a catch — as a tourist, you're not really supposed to be using it, unless you are staying over on the island. luckily for me, claudia runs a bed and breakfast. do you feel that it is a shame that people can't come to use it unless they come and stay here?

would you want to have more tourists coming? the lorenbahn wasn't actually built for the residents to get around — it belongs to and is run by germany's state department for coastal defence. wow! well, this is definitely a lot bigger than claudia's! nice! how does it start? you can give power. can i try? yes. wow, claudia did not

let me do any of this! then, you have to accelerate. oh, so the wheel is the accelerator? yes. so, did you have to learn how to ride this for the job? yes. was it a lot of fun? much fun. much fun! engineer fabien lucht agreed to let me see their work and he is picking me up on his lorenbahn. you have to look there. you have to look there? oh yes, of course. so, there's times when all of this is flooded?

the climate change means the flood goes up every year, 3—5mm a year. and we have a change in the timeslot of the floods — the floods stay longer at times. fabien's team has a job on its hands. notjust to defend the land, but also to keep the lorenbahn above the encroaching seas. there, you can see the old railway. before we build up the new railway, you could not drive there because everything was underwater. oh, so originally, that was the railway down there and in the last couple of years, you've raised it? yes. in a country better known for its cars and autobahns, people's affection for the trains has been a real eye—opener. now, germans are known for their engineering

but what has surprised me is seeing some of their creativity and flair. engineering and a bit of imagination have led to a network like no other. and if the deutschlandticket brings more people here to see it for themselves, that can only be a good thing. fabien, los geht�*s!

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: the foreign secretary, david cameron, says britain had "no choice" but to take military action against houthis in yemen in response to their attacks on ships in the red sea. on the 100th day since the israel—gaza conflict began, relatives of hostages being held by hamas join a rally in tel aviv. government advisers warn the number

of people being injured in e—scooter accidents is being hugely under—reported to police. and we meet the handmade dolls on a mission to find more organ donors for children. in sport, kevin de bruyne is back to help manchester city beat newcastle. he equalised, then sent this ball in to oscar bobb, for a 90th—minute winner to send city second in the table. good morning, all. a colder day ahead of us leading into a cold week ahead. we can split the country into two. cloudy with a few spots of rain across england and wales. further north, plenty of sunshine, but also some wintry showers and strong winds. i'll have all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday january 1a. good morning. thanks forjoining us this morning. our main story:

the foreign secretary, david cameron, has said the uk had "no choice" but to take military action against houthi targets in yemen following weeks of attacks on vessels in the red sea. the uk and the us launched dozens of strikes on thursday night after houthi fighters had caused major disruption along the shipping route. simonjones reports. the raf typhoon jets called in to action on thursday to strike targets in yemen. action the foreign secretary argues that the uk had to take. writing in the sunday telegraph, lord cameron says: and this is what the houthi militia have been doing — targeting ships off the coast of yemen, sometimes boarding them, other vessels have been attacked with drones and missiles in what the group calls a show

of support for palestinians in gaza. today marks the 100th day of the ongoing conflict between israel and hamas. yemen has a key strategic position in the middle east, especially when it comes to global shipping. the red sea shipping route typically looks like this. it's one of the busiest in the world, transporting 15% of traded goods largely from east to west. but because of the houthi attacks, many major shipping firms have diverted around southern africa. it takes ten days longer, adding $1 million to the fuel costs of an average container ship. yemen may be thousands of miles from the uk, but the foreign secretary is keen to stress that what happens there and in the red sea has the potential to affect life in britain. he says that if vital supply chains continue to be threatened, then that will push up prices in the shops globally.

this satellite picture shows an airfield in yemen before it was hit by strikes on thursday. this one shows the damaged caused. both the uk and us have described their action as proportionate. the targets will have been under a lot of intelligence scrutiny for a while because they're stationary targets in the target is predominately in the main radar site. president biden says america has delivered a private message to iran. the us insists iranian intelligence is critical in enabling the houthis to target ships. iran denies involvement. chanting there have been protests in yemen against the uk and us strikes. a houthi spokesman claims they have had no significant impact on the group's ability to affect shipping. but both the us and uk maintain they will always act to defend the freedom of navigation. simon jones, bbc news.

at 7:30 a.m., we will pay to the mp who with the vice—chair of the defence select committee. staying in the middle east now with the rest of that is news. here is roger. we have two stories not entirely unconnected. the families of israeli hostages have joined a rally in tel aviv to mark 100 days since their relatives were captured by hamas — designated a terror organisation — during october 7 attacks. latest strikes by israel have killed around 135 people in gaza. this is according to the hamas—run health ministry. here's our middle east correspondent hugo bachega. hugo, today is a significant milestone in the conflict? 100 days in this conflict. yes, good morninu. 100 days in this conflict. yes, good morning- today _ 100 days in this conflict. yes, good morning. today marks _ 100 days in this conflict. yes, good morning. today marks 100 - 100 days in this conflict. yes, good morning. today marks 100 days . 100 days in this conflict. yes, good morning. today marks 100 days in | 100 days in this conflict. yes, good i morning. today marks 100 days in the beginning of this war between israel and hamas in gaza, the impact of hammers attacks on the seventh of october that killed more than 1200

people in israel. the israeli offensive has killed more than 23,000 palestinians in gaza and there is no end in sight. the israeli authorities say that the goal of this military offensive is to eliminate house and also to guarantee the release of the hostages who remain in captivity in gaza. yesterday the israeli military continued to attack positions across gaza. khan younis in the south was a key target, this has been a key target of the israeli military in recent weeks. parts of central gaza were also hit. a tel aviv, the relatives of the hostages, more than 100 hostages who remain in captivity in gaza organised a huge protest, more than 120,000 people joined this protest in tel aviv. according to the organisers, one of the messages they had was that the israeli authorities should do more to

guarantee the release of the hostages. there are is a lot of frustration in israel, many of the families believe that the authorities have not prioritised the release of the hostages, so a lot of pressure on the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, a lot of international pressure as well. countries have been urging a ceasefire in gaza, there have been concerns about the humanitarian situation for the palestinians who remain in gaza. last night the prime minister gave a speech, he was defiant. he said no—one will stop us. defiant. he said no-one will stop us. ., ~' defiant. he said no-one will stop us. ., ~ , ., y defiant. he said no-one will stop us. ., ~' , ., , . queen margrethe of denmark will formally abdicate the throne today following her surprise announcement that she was stepping down on new year's eve. thousands are expected in the capital copenhagen to see her eldest son frederik, and his australian wife mary, be proclaimed as the new king and queen, as our royal correspondent daniela relph reports.

it was 1972 when denmark last did this — preparing for a change of sovereign. there will be plenty of pomp, but the danes don't do the big coronation ceremony. instead, at christiansborg palace, the declaration of abdication will be signed and the new king proclaimed from the balcony. last week queen margrethe said her goodbyes, a final gilded carriage ride through copenhagen after 52 years on the throne. she'd always said this was a job for life until her surprise announcement on new year's eve. speaks danish poor health had led to a change of mind. and if the social media response was anything to go by, denmark didn't see this coming.

i think we were all shocked, because we had never realised that the queen could ever decide to abdicate. i think she just wants to relax a little more and maybe see her son become a king. the end of a long reign of a popular queen could be unsettling for denmark, especially after the surprise abdication, but the arrival of the new, younger photogenic king and queen could energise the royalfamily and cement support amongst the danish people. the official portraits of the new king and queen, frederik x of denmark and his australian—born wife queen mary. the couple met in a bar in sydney during the 2000 olympics and married 20 years ago. they start their new roles amid rumours of problems in their relationship. but queen mary is now widely viewed as key to the success of her husband's reign. frederik x will be a very different monarch from his mother because he's much more informal, you can compare him with william and kate in the uk.

queen mary will be a very important person. she is very relaxed when talking to people and she has done a lot of work for the monarchy and danish society. copenhagen is ready, thousands will be here for a taste of what it has to offer. from the oldest patisserie in the city, a new king means new cakes. on an historic day where a popular monarch steps aside to make way for her son. daniela relph, bbc news, copenhagen. will be live in copenhagen in an hour's time. taiwan's new president, william lai, has vowed to stand up to chinese intimidation in his first speech after his election victory. beijing has repeated that taiwan is part of china and has previously referred to the territory's new leader as a "dangerous separatist". our reporter shaimaa khalil is in taipei for us. a little bit quieter than it was for you yesterday, but nonetheless, an

historic victory for william lai? absolutely. proto, the man that beijing has described as the troublemaker, the separatist has now been elected as taiwan's new president and he has vowed to maintain the status quo. he has vowed to safeguard taiwan from any intimidation coming from china. so essentially we are looking at similar policies, really, from the soon—to—be predecessor on moving away or asserting there are self—governing stands on moving away from china's orbit, close ties with the united states. in the past hour we have been getting reports from the representation of taiwan in the us, former national security advisor and the former deputy secretary of state will arrive in taipei on the 14th of january. what they didn't

have this time, the dpp, in their third and record term in power, is a landslide. they have lost their majority in parliament, which means they have to make some concessions. but we are already getting reactions from beijing. they are not happy about this result. they have already come out and said taiwan is part of china, there is only one china. united states, however, antony blinken has congratulated taiwan on their robust democratic process. internally there are so many issues at the centre of it is the economy to get through. but internationally, regionally, taiwan is still in the middle of the regional influence between the united states and china. certainly one to watch. thank you so much. our reporter live in taiwan this morning stop drivers following satnavs will no longer be sent down closed roads as part of government plans to ensure the navigation systems

are kept up to date. under the new measures, temporary speed limits or road closures will be automatically updated on satnavs and data, including the location of parking spaces, will also be available. fewer than one in 10 injuries involving e—scooters are being reported to the police. that's according to data analysed by the independent parliamentary advisory council for transport safety, which says more accurate figures are needed to understand the dangers that they pose. jon donnison has this report. e—scooters — a decade ago almost unheard of. these days, they're a common sight. but now, a charity that advises the government says injuries from e—scooter accidents are being under—reported and data needs to be collected more rigorously. until we really understand how hazardous or dangerous they are, we can't understand what they need to be legislated for. so we have a perfect opportunity now for the people who are using rental e—scooters to record the collisions

that they have and to record the number of casualties involved in the rental trials to get a better understanding of how safe these motor vehicles are. the study looked at 300 e—scooter casualties reported by hospitals over a two—month period in 2021. it found only 10% of them were also recorded in police statistics. of the most serious injuries, only a quarter were reported to the police. one reason might be that it's illegal to ride a private e—scooter on roads or pavements in the uk. trials of rental e—scooters in dozens of towns and cities are ongoing. the department of transport says safety is a top priority and that the government is working closely with the police to strengthen data on e—scooter accidents. jon donnison, bbc news. the january 6 — or twelfth night —

is the day many of us in the uk take down our christmas decorations, but for people in parts of scandinavia this happens on the 20th night. saint knut�*s day in sweden, when people — quite literally — throw their christmas trees out into the street. since 2016, environmentalists have been taking advantage of this tradition, tossing thousands of them into the freezing waters of the baltic sea to provide a welcoming habitat for endangered marine life. that's brilliant. recycling your christmas tree. we often recycle them nowadays, don't we? our streets are full of them at the moment. they threw them on the street and they do not get picked up and you have to walk around them. i am not advocating for drawing them into the sea. d0 advocating for drawing them into the sea. ,., ., ., advocating for drawing them into the sea. ., ., ., the advocating for drawing them into the sea-_ they use - advocating for drawing them into the sea._ they use them l advocating for drawing them into the | sea._ they use them a sea. do not do that! they use them a lot in sand dunes _ sea. do not do that! they use them a lot in sand dunes to _ sea. do not do that! they use them a lot in sand dunes to stop _ sea. do not do that! they use them a lot in sand dunes to stop coastal- lot in sand dunes to stop coastal erosion. ., ,. ., here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. that is such a gorgeous picture

5-7 next few days. temperatures around 5—7 and the cold air sitting in place and it will feel noticeably colder than that when you factor in the strength of the wind. some snow showers at lower levels as well which will continue through the night and at the same time the front clears so the skies clear across the country so we will see some frosty conditions, may be more cloud just hiding onto wales and south west england but it will be bitterly cold, —7 to start in scotland. further snow showers likely on monday, also some sunshine but because of the direction of the wind from the north, anywhere with exposure, so the far north of scotland, running through the irish sea and along the east coast, ca wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow but it will be snow at lower levels into scotland. factor in the strength of that wind, gusts in excess of 20—40 miles an hour, it will feel cold and your thermometer may well say to you 1— four but factor in the wind, it really will feel bitterly cold. so, it will feel

well below freezing foremost and you will need to wrap up i suspect, as we go through this week. into tuesday, things get interesting. this little frontal system is likely to bump into the cold air during tuesday, so on the leading edge of it there will be more significant snow across central and southern areas of scotland, maybe a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow into northern ireland and northern england. anywhere south will keep the sunshine. it will still be a cold story but no snow across the vast majority of england and wales. top temperatures 2—5 once again. still, we have the low pressure drifting in through the middle part of the week. it looks likely to stay towards france. we may see some snow may be just pushing towards the channel isles but at the moment, we will see it one more time, it looks likely it will stay to the near continent and not affect southern england. continent and not affect southern encland. ., ~ continent and not affect southern encland. ., ,, i. continent and not affect southern encland. ., ,, . england. thank you, message received loud and clear — england. thank you, message received loud and clear it _ england. thank you, message received loud and clear it is _ england. thank you, message received

we think he — choice but to act. is he right? yes, we think he is _ choice but to act. is he right? yes, we think he is in _ choice but to act. is he right? yes, we think he is in keir— choice but to act. is he right? is: we think he is in keir starmer has made a very clear on behalf of the labour party. i think it is rather unfortunate that you lead into this with an item on gaza, which of course houthis are trying to convey theissue course houthis are trying to convey the issue in gaza which are going on for many years. in yemen and they have been attacking civilian targets and facilities and actually taken over from the internationally recognised legitimate government. i think that is a context in which you need to look at this and most immediately the disruption to international trade with big economic consequences already not just here, but in age as well. just to be clear. _ just here, but in age as well. just to be clear, you _ just here, but in age as well. just to be clear, you are not making the link between the two conflict, or you are? link between the two conflict, or ou are? ~ ., you are? well, i mean, the newspapers _ you are? well, i mean, the newspapers put _ you are? well, i mean, the newspapers put two - you are? well, i mean, the| newspapers put two articles you are? well, i mean, the - newspapers put two articles together to get people to draw a linkage. it is unfortunate because that is the

houthis narrative, but what this is impacting is already we are seeing factories going on short time, in germany, we will be seeing impacts on fuel supplies, not to britain because we don't get much of our oil from the gulf, and of course the chinese economy recovering from covid will be enormously impacted, has been already, because their ships will not be able to get through the suez canal, and obviously, shipowners are enormously worried not only about their cargoes, but very much about their crew, and also, the extended journeys they are going to have to be making that will make, at an off a lot of time, cost and co2.- a lot of time, cost and co2. taking military action _ a lot of time, cost and co2. taking military action is _ a lot of time, cost and co2. taking military action is always _ a lot of time, cost and co2. taking military action is always a - military action is always a big decision, particularly because of what is happening in israel, gaza, because of the worries about any escalation. so with that context, should parliament have been given

the chance to discuss this before the chance to discuss this before the uk committed its own military do this? ., ., , the uk committed its own military do this? ., .,, ., ., , the uk committed its own military do this? ., ., ., , , ., this? not as thoroughly before the decisions have _ this? not as thoroughly before the decisions have to _ this? not as thoroughly before the decisions have to be _ this? not as thoroughly before the decisions have to be made - this? not as thoroughly before the decisions have to be made as i this? not as thoroughly before the decisions have to be made as an i decisions have to be made as an appropriate, it is absolutely right. my appropriate, it is absolutely right. my understanding is that the parameter which would be preferable or the defence secretary will be making a statement to parliament tomorrow —— prime minister. and we will be able to raise questions on that. some of which of course he will not be able to directly answer, it is quite clear, we have seen that president biden has sent a private message to the uranium authorities because of the houthis, like hezbollah, like hamas, are of course proxies for the iranians regime and the revolution, revolutionary guard. so there will be those diplomatic measures taking place in order to try and resolve this crisis, but the fundamental point is this is backed by the united nations, made very

clear at the end of the week that international trade, freedom of these fees had to be protected —— seas, and that what we're doing along with the united states and indeed other countries, and with the support of those who don't have assets in the region, as we do, particularly out of cyprus. so those messages are obviously going through, there will be high—level diplomacy going on, most importantly, we are showing resolve that we are going to protect international trade and also protect international trade and also protect international rules. the statements from the houthis _ international rules. the statements from the houthis in _ international rules. the statements from the houthis in response i international rules. the statements from the houthis in response to i international rules. the statementsj from the houthis in response to the acts, by had talked about being ineffective and that there will be retribution against the us and against the uk. can you see more strikes being carried out if the attacks by the houthis continue? filth. attacks by the houthis continue? oh, i antici ate attacks by the houthis continue? oi, i anticipate they would probably attacks by the houthis continue? (ii, i anticipate they would probably do a few more attacks anywayjust to

show that they haven't been intimidated, essentially there will be discussions taking place hopefully to bring about a resolution. but we need to make sure that this does succeed otherwise a big chunk of international trade chameera's prosperity, the livelihoods of many workers not only here but in asia as well will be seriously threatened, and particularly as we are coming out of covid, debt overhangs from that, international economy starting to recover. the last thing we want for the welfare of the citizens of the world is such a major disruption to business, trade, to action, people being able to go to work and a living. being able to go to work and a livini. . . ., ., living. the vice-chair of the defence _ living. the vice-chair of the defence committee, - living. the vice-chair of the defence committee, thank| living. the vice-chair of the i defence committee, thank you for that, and just to reiterate that the david cameron will be on laura kuenssberg's cameron. nine o'clock here on bbc one. let's catch up with

all the sport. we are talking about things concertina ring up at the top of the premier league. it is getting close, isn't it? most players if they were out with a five month with a hamstring injury, need an operation, might be a bit rusty on the return. ease themselves back in. yes. however, kevin de bruyn has come out, he is on fire already. he is being easy and a little bit admittedly. he was man of the match. he equalised against newcastle and then he set up the winner. much to then he set up the winner. much to the delight of his manager, pep guardiola. manchester city closed the gap on league leaders liverpool, jumping to second place by beating newcastle at st james' park. 3-2. he'd been out forfive months, but under five minutes after being subbed on, kevin de bruyne did this. equalising for city. it was 2—2 and just two minutes to go when de bruyne sent in a sublime ball to

oscar bobb for the winner. city boss pep guardiola says they've known for a while that 20—year—old bobb would be a top playerfor a while. he is so good, we have seen in the training sessions. we were impressed with his season when we saw it i knew from the information this was the best player by far in the academy. we signed up and talk with the players, and the guy is special, this guy is good. in saturday's other premier league game, it was cole palmer's penalty that gave chelsea a 1—0 victory over west london rivals fulham. raheem sterling was brought down in the area on the stroke of half—time to give palmer the chance from 12 yards. and chelsea's star man did not miss, sending bernd leno the wrong way from the spot. the win puts chelsea up to eighth with mauricio pochettino looking for his side to build momentum. fulham boss marco silva

was disappointed that chelsea's malo gusto wasn't sent off for this tackle on willian in the first half. the france right—back caught willian above his ankle, but var was happy to uphold taylor's decision to award gusto a yellow card, a decision silva disagreed with. a moment that is crucial in the game that should have been a red card, i think so far this season, ten moment like that one, this afternoon was not a red card, it was a yellow card. in that moment, the vision should help from the vr. it is not consistent and thatis the vr. it is not consistent and that is a good example again. —— var. reading's league one match against port vale was abandoned after hundreds of home fans invaded the pitch in protest against their owner dai yongge. supporters threw tennis balls

on to the pitch on the 16th minute to signify the 16 points they've had deducted since mr dai has taken over. reading urged supporters to go back to the stands, but the game was called off by the referee when they refused to leave. jadon sancho had a great start in his return to borussia dortmund with an assist just days after his loan move from manchester united. the 23—year—old hadn't played since august after refusing to apologise to united manager erik ten hag. sancho was a second—half substitute and set up marco reus�*s goal in dortmund's 3—0 win over darmstadt. the africa cup of nations got under way on saturday as hosts ivory coast beat guinea—bissau 2—0. an early goalfrom seko fofana was added to byjean—philippe krasso in the second half to get the elephants off to the best possible start. there are three games later today with mo salah's egypt in action against mozambique.

the australian open is under way but the first brit in action in the main draw — jodie burrage — is out. she took the first set, but then lost the next two to germany's tamara korpatsch on what was her first time in the australian open main draw. burrage was the first of seven britons playing in the singles with the rest in action on monday or tuesday. rugby, and exeter chiefs are into the european champions cup knockout stages. they made it through from the pool stage with a game to spare after a dramatic win over glasgow. henry slade held his nerve to score the winning points from this conversion. it finished 19—17, although the warriors had a late try in overtime controversially disallowed. they could stilljoin exeter in the knockouts with a win in their final game next weekend. sale sharks's hopes of making it through are in the balance after they were beaten 31—24 by south african side the stormers. sale will face the defending

champions la rochelle next weekend, needing a win to reach the knockouts. bristol were well beaten by south african side the bulls. they ran in four tries in a 31—17 win at ashton gate, including that determined reach for the line from elrigh louw. that result is a blow to bristol's hopes of reaching the knockouts, they now need to win and hope other results go their way in next week's final round of games. it is the final of snooker�*s masters tonight at the alexandra palace and ronnie o'sullivan will play ali carter after he beat sean murphy 6—2. the world number one took a 3—1 lead at the mid—session break. despite a century from murphy to bring him within one frame, o'sullivan then took the next three on the bounce to secure victory. he is the tournament's youngest winner, taking it for the first time almost 29 years ago.

he could now become its oldest too, but o'sullivan isn't worried by his age. i don't feel that old. i feel... laughter i know what my age is, but i feel young in my mind, ifeel young when i'm around a table. ifeel younger than i do when playing these young players, they look old, the way they... their brains are quite slow, so, for me... cheering i still feel like my brain's pretty quick around a snooker table, which is enough. they need to get their act together, because i'm going blind and have bad knees! he says what he likes, doesn't he, ronnie o'sullivan! he is into the final with a chance of an eighth masters title. lovely. 29 years ago. that is almost directly the same time gladiators first was shown on television! now it is back. nothing has changed in 29 years! i watched a

little bit of it. the people, the gladiators... the actual contestants are incredibly fitted and superhuman but the gladiators are on another level. they are huge! time to get a look at the weather. the headline is it's cold? sound effects i need for this week's weather, we could be heading for a cold lack of the cold is not of the winter period so far. temperatures are expected to get as low as —10 may be lower in parts of central scotland. here it is. yes, a cold story. quite arrived across england and wales but heading in our direction and there will be snow around. what we have at the moment is the series of fronts thinking south. it's allowing the cold air to flood from our dixer the frontier sitting across central and southern england and pushing south during the

day. the cold air arrived in scotland with gusts in the northern isles at 70 miles plus which will make you feel better and with the snow showers we could have lizard conditions. some snow showers across the far north of scotland. the weather front, the far north of scotland. the weatherfront, i have drawn it onto you see cloud is and anywhere south maybe the odd spot or two of light rain but not quite as cold yet, 5—7, but the front sinks south and allows the sky to clear through the night. it will get colder it will see below freezing quite widely across the country and yes, it's going to be a bitterly cold start in rural sheltered glens of scotland. minus seven degrees perhaps first thing tomorrow morning. we will start to see at least 5—10 centimetres of snow accumulating in scotland. it stays pretty cold and windy. anywhere with exposure could see if few wintry showers here and there but generally speaking fine, settled them sunny but it is the wind strength and direction, 20—40 mile an hour gusts widely across the

country coming from the north—west, it's going to make you feel better out there. this is what your thermometers may well read but this is what it is more likely to feel like, well below freezing. you will need extra layers, you will certainly need to wrap up warm if you are going to be out and about for any length of time. then, as we go into tuesday, this little weather front here may well enhance some snow for a time in the far north. we could see some snow moving down into central and southern areas of scotland. a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow into northern ireland and north west england as well. south of it, it stays dry after a frosty start. some sunshine coming through but the temperatures still struggling, 2—5 at the very best. now, it is likely that we will continue to see some wetter weather developing towards the end of the week so you want to know how long it will last, this cold snap? yes, some snow showers through the middle part of the week but then, into next

weekend, wetter and milder. back to you. it weekend, wetter and milder. back to ou. ., , weekend, wetter and milder. back to ou. , , weekend, wetter and milder. back to ou. . , , , ., weekend, wetter and milder. back to ou. ,~ you. it has been dry, at least, after all of that you. it has been dry, at least, after all of that rain. you. it has been dry, at least, after all of that rain. thank you. it has been dry, at least, after all of that rain. thank ou. after all of that rain. thank you. indeed. we'll be back with the headlines at 8:00. now, it's time for click. scooters. they're lean, nifty, greener than cars — really green if they're electric. but there's one thing about them that could still be greener — the way they're made

and what they're made from. this is stilride one. it has one very unusual feature. its chassis is made from one piece of steel. all the curves, all the lines have been folded like origami. the reason is notjust about aesthetics. see, a typical scooter is assembled in special factories from more than 100 parts and then, it's shipped around the world. but for this bike, all that would need to be sent anywhere is the design. because a bike — if you would send a bike in a crate, you're shipping air. you don't want to ship air. whether you're in sweden, you're in england, you'll probably

find sheet metal, right? so, it's better to send the code rather than to send yourfinal product. that's a very, very efficient way to do it, you know? so, you want to produce near the end customer. i've been given permission to fire the laser. the plan is for locally sourced steel to be laser—cut into a flat chassis pattern and then for robots to bend it into the right shape — like these ones are currently doing for other simpler objects. all in all, there are 15 components, including a saddle that also starts life flat. and once it's all been folded up, it comes here to be welded, and it looks like this. while the design is still being perfected, the prototypes are bent manually.

the curved folds in particular are hard to get your head around. stilride has developed its own software to calculate how to get the shapes that they need with help from a hand—cranked folding machine — back at the office, that is. but i know what you're thinking — without all those bolts and screws and separate supports, can a folded piece of metal be strong enough to ride around on? if you put a straight fold into a material, it doesn't become that strong because even if you lock one side of the fold, it can carry on bending, like that. but if you put a curved fold into a material, then as you change the shape on one side of the fold, it forces the other side into a particular shape, too. and that means if you lock this side into position, the whole structure becomes rigid. the best example i've seen of that is your french fries container, which is pretty flimsy when you're only using the straight folds on the edge.

but there are two curved folds on the bottom and if you engage those, the whole thing locks into place and your chips don't fall out. the bike that we created now — or the chassis that we've done for the stilride1 — compared to a competitor bike, it's a tubular frame, a typical scooter. we created a chassis that's even 50 times stronger or more stiff, rigid than the tubular frame. stilride has bigger ambitions than just two wheels of steel. parts of larger vehicles could also be made this way, along with the footings for wind turbines that would imitate tree roots. one step at a time, though. the scooter goes into production later this year and it'll cost 15,000 euros.

it provides a marine habitat but when it hits our coasts, it becomes problematic. from releasing gases which can be harmful to human health to impacting local tourism and fishing, these massive, buoyant mats, which stretch like a carpet across the atlantic, make up the great sargassum belt. being more than 5,000 miles long, it's wider than brazil. and last year, it weighed over 24 million tonnes, making it a continent—sized blob of seaweed. in fact, it is so vast that it's visible from space. and scientists have been studying its explosion using satellite imagery. the exact reasons for the boom are unclear but it's believed that rising temperatures and agricultural waste are contributing to the excessive growth. and on the other side of the world, there's a company trying to fight it. just like any other plant, seaweed photosynthesises. and because it absorbs carbon faster than trees,

there's also a lot of potential. and a team here is using this to their advantage. they are building a semi—autonomous ocean robot to sink the sargassum and the co2 it captures to the bottom of the sea. doing so, they prevent sargassum from hitting shores whilst fighting global warming. the ipcc has projected in their most optimistic pathway, which is 1.5 degrees or less, that we will need to remove from the atmosphere ten billion tonnes of carbon every single year by 2050, which would be in terms of volume the largest industry that has ever existed. if you're looking for a good place to put carbon, the deep ocean is perfect. you have more carbon than there is the upper ocean and the entire terrestrial sphere combined. the algaray is designed to go across the surface of the water and take the sargassum

into its cavity, much like it's doing with these ducks here. once it's full, it dives down to 200m, at which point the water pressure crushes the air bladders that keep it afloat and the sargassum sinks down to the seabed. there it's locked away for many hundreds, if not thousands of years. the first version of the algaray was attached to a remote—controlled catamaran, whereas the final version is going to be a 10m—long submersible powered by green energy. bagpipes skirl the whole thing is going to be covered in solar panels, so there'll be quite a bit of available energy to drive sensors. so in here already, we've got depth temperature and a camera on the front.

and then, in the future, we'll be able to gather, like, information about wind speeds, temperatures on the surface and map everything. using this information, they are creating machine learning training data which will then enable the algaray to increasingly make its own decisions, such as coordinating with other algarays to gather the mats. but for now, it's time to test the second prototype. cheering. applause. that was relatively quick but that's not how it's going to be in the end? this is only going down to 3m, so it should actually only take a couple of minutes to go down. in the field, the whole thing would be a ten—minute cycle. the aim is for it to be buried,

to go into that long carbon cycle. it's sort of like saying, "we're making the oil "of the future." anything that was oil was once marine biomass, so it makes a lot of sense to us to start using that as one of the pathways that you could use to get to large—scale carbon dioxide removals but also unlock this tremendous opportunity, but also this tremendous need to rebalance our atmosphere. it's a start—up in its infancy and one company alone cannot solve the problem but facing the threats of global warming, it's another innovation to help win the race against climate change. that's it for the short version of the programme. full—length show can be found on iplayer. but next week, have we got a show for you! yes, we do. it's the biggest tech show of the year — the consumer electronics show, to be precise, in las vegas. it's called ces. she can't wait. i can't wait. hopefully, we will see you there. thanks for watching

and see you in vegas. bye! good morning. welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today. the foreign secretary, david cameron, says britain had no choice but to take military action against houthis in yemen in response to their attacks on ships in the red sea. on the 100th day since

the israel gaza conflict began, relatives of hostages being held by hamas join a rally in tel aviv. and by hamas join a rally in tel aviv. here and by hamasjoin a rally in tel aviv. here in and by hamas join a rally in tel aviv. here in copan the reigning and here in copan the longest reigning monarch in europe formally abdicates after 52 years as queen margrethe stands aside for her eldest son who becomes king frederick the tenth of denmark. and we hear about the anti—choking devices one family want installed at every nursery, in memory of their son oliver. in sport, kevin de bruyne is back to help manchester city beat newcastle. he equalised, then sent this ball in to oscar bobb for a 90th minute winner to send city second in the table. good morning, all. a cold day ahead of us leading into a cold week ahead. we can split the country into two. cloudy with a few spots of rain across england and wales. further north, plenty of sunshine, but also some wintry showers and strong winds.

i'll have all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday 14th january. our main story. the foreign secretary, david cameron, has said the uk had "no choice" but to take military action against houthi targets in yemen following weeks of attacks on vessels in the red sea. the uk and the us launched dozens of strikes on thursday night after houthi fighters had caused major disruption along the shipping route. simonjones reports. the raf typhoon jets called into action on thursday to strike targets in yemen. action the foreign secretary argues that the uk had to take. writing in the sunday telegraph, lord cameron says... "we have not rushed into these strikes. we have given warning after warning. military action should

always be a last resort, and it certainly was in this case. we have sent an unambiguous message. what the houthis are doing is wrong and we are determined to put a stop to it." and this is what the houthi militia have been doing — targeting ships off the coast of yemen, sometimes boarding them. other vessels have been attacked with drones and missiles in what the group calls a show of support for palestinians in gaza. today marks the 100th day of the ongoing conflict between israel and hamas. yemen has a key strategic position in the middle east, especially when it comes to global shipping. the red sea shipping route typically looks like this. it's one of the busiest in the world, transporting 15% of traded goods, largely from east to west. but because of the houthi attacks, many major shipping firms have diverted around southern africa. it takes ten days longer, adding $1 million to the fuel costs of an average container ship. yemen may be thousands

of miles from the uk, but the foreign secretary is keen to stress that what happens there and in the red sea has the potential to affect life in britain. he says that if vital supply chains continue to be threatened then that will push up prices in the shops globally. this satellite picture shows an airfield in yemen before it was hit by strikes on thursday. this one shows the damage caused. both the uk and the us have described their action as proportionate. the targets will have been under a lot of intelligence scrutiny for a while because the stationary targets and the targets predominantly in the main were radar site. president biden says america has delivered a private message to iran. the us insists iranian intelligence is critical in enabling the houthis to target ships. iran denies involvement. there have been protests in yemen against the uk and us strikes.

the houthi spokesman claims they have had no significant impact on the group's ability to affect shipping. but both the us and uk maintain they will always act to defend the freedom of navigation. simon jones, bbc news. the foreign secretary will be talking to laura kuenssberg at nine o'clock here on bbc one. now it's time to get the rest of the news with roger. we will start in tel aviv. the families of israeli hostages havejoined a rally in tel aviv to mark 100 days since their relatives were captured by hamas, designated a terror organisation, during the seventh october attacks. latest strikes by israel have killed around 135 people in gaza, this is according to the hamas—run health ministry. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega told us why today is a significant milestone in the conflict.

today marks 100 days since the start of the war, sparked by the high mass attacked on the 7th of october. more than 1200 people in israel, this is very offensive has killed more than 23,000 palestinians in gaza and there is no end in sight. the israeli authorities say the goal of this military offensive is to eliminate hamas and to guarantee the release of the hostages who remain in captivity in gaza. now yesterday, the israeli military continued to attack positions across gaza. our town in the south was a key target. of town in the south was a key target. of the israeli military in recent weeks. parts of central gaza were also hit. and in tel aviv, the relatives of the hostages, more than 100 who remain in captivity in gaza

organised a huge protest, more than 120,000 peoplejoined this protest in tel aviv. according to the organisers. one of the messages they had was that the israeli authorities should do more to guarantee the release of the hostages. there is a lot of frustration in israel. many of the families believe that the authorities have not prioritised the release of the hostages, so a lot of pressure on the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. a lot of international pressure, as well. countries have been urging a ceasefire in gaza. they have been concerns about their humanitarian situation for the palestinians who remain in gaza. last night, the prime minister gave a speech. he was defiant. he said no one will stop us. queen margrethe of denmark will formally abdicate the throne today, following her surprise announcement that she was stepping down on new year's eve. thousands are expected

in the capital copenhagen to see her eldest son frederik, and his australian wife mary, be proclaimed as the new king and queen. our royal correspondent daniela relphjoins us now from christiansborg palace square in copenhagen. nice to see you. thank you for joining us this morning. a big day ahead and not seen something like this for a very long time in denmark. yes, a whole generation of the danish have not experienced anything like this because the last time there was any kind of proclamation of a new monarchy was back in 1972. queen margrethe has reigned for 52 years. it is a big day here in denmark. the police are prepared for around 100,000 people to come into central copan this afternoon to see the events happening. it is effectively a coronation but not as you and i would know it, not a coronation like the one we saw back in may in the uk, because the danish

constitution doesn't do a big coronation ceremony. instead, it will be a series of events that we see play out here today in copenhagen. the most important being a government meeting at around 2pm this afternoon where queen margrethe will sign her declaration of abdication. that will be eight, after 52 years, she will stand down and an hour later the danish prime minister will come out and proclaim the new king. he will be frederik the new king. he will be frederik the tenth, and will then make a short speech to the crowds in the square. a series of events. there will be a better pump around it so it will look like something special but nothing like on the scale of the coronation we saw in the uk. as for the new king and queen, they pick up a really popular legacy from queen margrethe. in terms of polling, she consistently pose at around 80% in terms of positivity around the danish royalfamily terms of positivity around the danish royal family so they are picking up a good legacy they and in terms of the new king, his big asset

here in denmark is seen as his wife, queen mary. she was mary donaldson, born in tasmania, who met the king during the olympics in a bar in sydney. she has become very popular figure in public life in denmark and is seen as being key to the success of his reign. is seen as being key to the success of his reign-— drivers following satnavs will no longer be sent down closed roads as part of government plans to ensure the navigation systems are kept up to date. under the new measures, temporary speed limits or road closures will be automatically updated on satnavs and data, including the location of parking spaces, will also be available. taiwan's new president, william lai, has vowed to stand up to chinese intimidation in his first speech after his election victory. beijing has repeated that taiwan is part of china and has previously referred to the territory's new leader as a "dangerous separatist".

our reporter shaimaa khalil is in taipei for us. shaimaa, how historic is this election result? a bit quieter than yesterday when all the celebrations around this victory took place but it certainly is going to be very important. what plays out in the days and months ahead. china doesn't particularly like this new guy?— like this new guy? china doesn't like this new guy? china doesn't like the president-elect. - like this new guy? china doesn't like the president-elect. it i like this new guy? china doesn't like the president-elect. it is i like the president—elect. it is called the president elect william lai a troublemaker, a separatist, and have already expressed their unhappiness about the result of the election. they've come out to a statement saying taiwan is part of china. there's only one china. the dpp has won a historic third term in power. william lai, this man, very unlike by beijing, has now been elected as the president and this will have ripple effects notjust in

taiwan and china but also of course with the united states, taiwan's closest ally. we will see the continuation of the policies, china policies, that they are going to strengthen this self—governing stance, moving closer to the united states and away from china's orbit. we have already gotten a reaction from the state department who praised the robust democratic system and an electoral process in taiwan, but in the last hour or so we've also got no reaction, chinese reaction to this statement, saying the us state department has issued a statement regarding the elections in taiwan. the taiwan region of china. notice the language, it seriously violates the one china principle and sends a seriously wrong signal to the separatist forces advocating taiwan's independence, so already the day after he was elected you can feel that tension with taiwan being in the middle of this regional

of claudia winkleman across the atlantic in the american version of that hit series that i'm sure you are both watching. hope to see you here on bbc one in a little bit. thank you to tracy for giving us a script there. laughter she is the biggest star of the programme. she certainly is. they have become a common sight in our towns and cities, but concerns have been raised that injuries involving e—scooters aren't being reported properly. the parliamentary advisory council for transport safety says only a fraction of incidents are recorded by the police, asjohn donnison reports. e—scooters. a decade ago, almost unheard of. these days, they're a common sight. but now, a charity that advises the government says injuries from e—scooter accidents are being under—reported and data needs to be collected more rigorously.

until we really understand how hazardous or dangerous they are, we can't understand what they need to be legislated for. so we have a perfect opportunity now for the people who are using rental e—scooters to record the collisions that they have and to record the number of casualties involved in the rental trials. we get a better understanding of how safe these motor vehicles are. the study looked at 300 e—scooter casualties recorded by hospitals over a two month period in 2021. it found only 10% of them were also recorded in police statistics. of the most serious injuries, only a quarter were reported to the police. one reason might be that it's illegal to ride private e—scooters on roads or pavements in the uk. trials of rental e—scooters in dozens of towns and cities are ongoing. the department for transport says safety is a top priority and that the government is working closely with the police

to strengthen data on e—scooter accidents. jon donnison, bbc news. we'rejoined now by neil greig from the institute of advanced motorists, roadsmart. good morning to you, thank you for joining us this morning. i don't know, a few years ago i'm not sure i would have seen an e—scooter on the pavement whatever but now they are, i wouldn't say everywhere but they are certainly a lot more common. i’m are certainly a lot more common. i'm lot more are certainly a lot more common. i�*m lot more common and they've grown despite the complete lack of any legislation, complete lack of any building standards, the fact that they are totally illegal to own privately, there are now over 30 rental schemes where you can rent an e—scooter, they are more tightly controlled but it's become a bit of a wild west out there. people are using these e—scooters and being injured on them and the numbers are going up every year but we still have a total lack of legislation from the government i'm afraid. lgrgfhen from the government i'm afraid. when ou sa from the government i'm afraid. when you say they — from the government i'm afraid. when you say they are _ from the government i'm afraid. when you say they are illegal _ from the government i'm afraid. when you say they are illegal to _ from the government i'm afraid. when you say they are illegal to own privately, i mean that so confusing

because how can you tell the difference between as it whizzes past you whether it's one that is illegal or legal?— illegal or legal? well, the definition _ illegal or legal? well, the definition as _ illegal or legal? well, the definition as they - illegal or legal? well, the definition as they can i illegal or legal? well, the j definition as they can only illegal or legal? well, the i definition as they can only be illegal or legal? well, the - definition as they can only be used privately owned ones to, on private grounds. that's a very limited thing obviously and we see them out on the roads are not. it's very difficult to tell them apart particularly when they are whizzing past. most of the rental schemes do have a well branded, well—controlled, well—maintained e—scooters. you have to be over 16 to use them. you have to be over 16 to use them. you have to have a professional driving licence for example. we've heard of examples of people who use them and then been charged with drink—driving and lost their driving licence, so there is a lot more control over the rental schemes but in actual fact if you look at the data we have, this limited data, half of the people injured were injured in rental schemes and half were injured in private schemes. to be that suggests

a lot of underreporting amongst people who have been injured falling off a privately owned scooter. there's a danger pedestrians because these scooters i've seen in britain long on pavements, but also for drivers, quite difficult to see actually somebody unless they are wearing bright clothing. a very difficult to see them on the road. this is a good day to receive important because it can lead to good policy and good legislation. what are we looking at here, the design of the bikes, which is so bad? is it the lack of personal protective equipment? where are these locations where these incidents are happening? all this information could help us build a better legislation which we are still waiting for but overall, the vast majority of people who are injured on an e—scooter are the e—scooter users themselves. pedestrians do get injured but the vast majority of those killed and injured are e—scooter users themselves so we need to look at things like training and that's very good data can help inform the best

hands of people. if you look at the sort of people who are being injured on them, they tend to be young men so it's a male issue again as in most things with road safety, i'm afraid. ~ ., most things with road safety, i'm afraid. . . , ., ., afraid. what the situation with re . ard to afraid. what the situation with regard to helmets? _ afraid. what the situation with regard to helmets? you i afraid. what the situation with regard to helmets? you rarely afraid. what the situation with i regard to helmets? you rarely see a cyclist without a helmet these days so what about e—scooters you have to wear a helmet? trio. so what about e-scooters you have to wear a helmet?— wear a helmet? no, some of the rental schemes _ wear a helmet? no, some of the rental schemes advise _ wear a helmet? no, some of the rental schemes advise you i wear a helmet? no, some of thej rental schemes advise you where wear a helmet? no, some of the l rental schemes advise you where a personal protective equipment, helmets are important but you might also need to have knee protectors, hand protectors for example, when you fall off. this is when the data would be helpful to help design personal protective equipment that is specific for e—scooter crashes because they do seem to be slightly different from other crashes people are having on bicycles and other forms of scooters, so again, you know, a lack of data is proving a problem here. we have been promised a transport bill by the current government for over two years. some of these rental schemes have been running for several years and will running for several years and will run for a few years yet and it got

plenty of data at the moment but what we need is legislation on the design of these e—scooters and the use of these e—scooters. if i design of these e-scooters and the use of these e-scooters._ use of these e-scooters. if i could ask ou use of these e-scooters. if i could ask you to — use of these e-scooters. if i could ask you to clarify _ use of these e-scooters. if i could ask you to clarify again _ use of these e-scooters. if i could ask you to clarify again because i l ask you to clarify again because i think it's confusing, about the legal situation so it's not illegal to own a scooter but it is illegal to own a scooter but it is illegal to ride a privately owned scooter on roads, is that correct?— roads, is that correct? that's correct. _ roads, is that correct? that's correct. they _ roads, is that correct? that's correct, they should - roads, is that correct? that's correct, they should only i roads, is that correct? that's correct, they should only be| roads, is that correct? that's i correct, they should only be used roads, is that correct? that's - correct, they should only be used on private ground, only the rental schemes which can be used in our cities and towns.— cities and towns. really good to talk to you- _ cities and towns. really good to talk to you. policy _ cities and towns. really good to talk to you. policy adviser- cities and towns. really good to talk to you. policy adviser at i cities and towns. really good to | talk to you. policy adviser at the institute of advanced motorists. thank you. let's catch up on all of the sport this morning. jane is with us. good morning. we are talking about manchester city closing the gap on the leaders but most importantly probably for city fans, his return, what an impact. he's been out for five months and hasn't played a premier league match since august but is played in the cupboard yesterday he was only on the pitch

for 21 minutes against newcastle and scored one and set up the winner. he sent his manager pep guardiola, let's have a look at his emphatic celebrations are just a moment. he was incredibly pleased with his performance and that's because he's helped manchester city close the gap on league leaders liverpooljump into second place by beating newcastle 32 at st james's park. he'd been out forfive months, but under five minutes after being subbed on, kevin de bruyne did this. equalising for city. it was 2—2 and just two minutes to go when de bruyne sent in a sublime ball to oscar bobb for the winner. cityjumping into second in league despite coming from 2—1 down. sending manager pep guardiola into raptures. what a performance... this incredible team and the huge personalities. they show me that they still, they want to be there. we are going to fight until the end to retain the title.

they showed me against huddersfield. they showed me against huddersfield. the way they run and play. i'm really, really, really pleased. in saturday's other premier league game, it was cole palmer's penalty that gave chelsea a 1—0 victory over west london rivals fulham. raheem sterling was brought down in the area on the stroke of half—time to give palmer the chance from 12 yards. and chelsea's star—man did not miss, sending bernd leno the wrong way from the spot. the win puts chelsea up to eighth, with mauricio pochettino looking for his side to build momentum. there are two further premier league matches this afternoon, everton host in—form aston villa, before all eyes will be on old trafford where manchester united welcome tottenham. united have dropped to ninth place after an inconsistent festive period, whilst spurs have won four out of their last five in the league. both managers are well aware of the importance of this one. sunday is most important and i don't look further than that and in the background,

of course, we organise, we know we have to prepare... we have to make our own luck and we have to take control of the game and then we have to finish the chances. old trafford is another place where, you know, the atmosphere and the way the crowd get behind the team is going to be a great challenge for us and it will be good to see how we kind of that and how we can keep developing as a team because it is an important part of the process. reading's league one match against port vale was abandoned after hundreds of home fans invaded the pitch in protest against their owner dai yongge. supporters threw tennis balls on to the pitch and invaded on the 16th minute to signify the 16 points they've had deducted since mr dai has taken over. reading urged them to go back to the stands, but the game was called off by the referee when they refused to leave.

the australian open is under way, but the first brit in action in the main draw jodie burrage is out. she took the first set, but then lost the next two to germany's tamara korpatsch on what was her first time in the australian open main—draw. burrage was the first of seven britons playing in the singles, with the rest in action on monday or tuesday. there was a dramatic late win for exeter over glasgow as they got through to the knockout stage of rugby union's champions�* cup competition. exeter won by 19 points to 17. leinster also secured their spot in the last 16, while harlequins had a comfortable win over cardiff as ben croucher reports. rugby can be all about fine margins, a skirmish for space and supremacy, the tunnel at exeter�*s sandy park not excluded. try in the first half, but space was an exploited best by glasgow, stretching exeter�*s defence for sione tuipulotu to score. this is a scorcher. exeter found the smallest of gaps, replacement dan frost

to haul them back into it. exeter raised themselves again. they would need to do it once more. enter zack wimbush off the bench, over the try line with minutes to spare. 19-17. with time running out, glasgow thought they had won it. oh, my goodness! but remember those fine margins? ewan ferry�*s fleetness of foot was too fast. penalised for offside. no try. the final insult in injury time. but the win assures exeter a spot in the knockouts. where cardiff probably won't be, having lost their first two. defeat against harlequins leaves their destiny out of their hands. harlequins came from behind to put eight tries. england fly—half marcus smith scored on his 150th club appearance in a sit—15 win as a gap between cardiff and qualification grew wider. bbc news.

it is the final of snooker�*s masters tonight at the alexandra palace and ronnie o'sullivan will play ali carter, after he beat sean murphy 6—2. the world number one took a 3—1 lead at the mid—session break. despite a century from murphy to bring him within one frame, o'sullivan then took the next three on the bounce to secure victory. he is the tournament's youngest winner, taking it for the first time almost 29 years ago. he could now become its oldest too, but o'sullivan isn't worried by his age. at the track european championships in the netherlands, katy marchant took another step towards the olympics, she is now the first british woman to become european 500m time trial champion. marchant crossed the line just under 4 hundredths of a second quicker than france's taky marie—divine kouame. it's her first european title, and she says — all being well — she should be heading to paris. meanwhile, ethan hayter won gold in the omnium with victory a in the final event, the points race.

it's his second gold of the championships, after being part of the winning men's team pursuit on thursday. we'll hear from louise with the weather in a moment — it's so cold here in the uk, there might be a few frozen pitches and grassroots matches may get called off, but that's nothing in comparisson to the temperatures during the kansas city chiefs nfl game, where fans had to endure temperatures of minus 20 degrees celsius. their play—off match win against the miami dolphins was the fourth coldest nfl game on record, with wind chill if felt like minus 34. though, not all had dressed for the weather. it was so cold kansas city chiefs head coach andy reid had icicles forming on his moustache. but singer taylor swift, who was supporting her boyfriend travis kelce, kept spirits high in the crowd by encouraging fans to keep moving to help stay warm. thatis that is brilliant. but she's behind class, that is brilliant. but she's behind glass. isn't _ that is brilliant. but she's behind glass, isn't she? _ that is brilliant. but she's behind glass, isn't she? yes, _ that is brilliant. but she's behind

it's the true story of a team of underdogs reaching for the stars. 1930s america and rowing provides a meal ticket, a chance to go to college for those struggling through the depression. among them, shorty, played by bruce hublin. all these boys have come from the same soil, you know, and theyjust happened to be really naturally gifted rowers and all put in one boat. and the boat succeeds, you know, because of it. but fair to say that you weren't all naturally gifted to begin with? absolutely not. no. none of us had a road before. “ none —— none of us had road before... how important was it and how difficult was it to make you look like a crew? it was super, super important that we did all that, like a crew and a couple of weeks into training, clooney came to see us and we really wanted to impress him, you know? and i think it was that kind of nervous energy that made us seem not quite so good or, you know, we identified from then.

we were about three weeks in. from then on, we needed to like up our game by clooney. he means george clooney, of course, who he first met via zoom when auditioning. i was in my mum's little studio, actually. she's an acupuncturist. and we zoomed and he was like, "oh, where are you right now?" i was like "east grinstead". and he's like, "oh, that sounds like a character." and it was just so funny to hear george clooney saying east grinstead. also involved in the film, his east grinstead flatmate, elliott bird. his role as a stand—in for yet another british actor, callum turner, who played the lead. but none of them had to leave these shores for filming. all the scenes on the water were shot in the south of england. the backdrops of depression era america put on using special effects. hard to believe when you're on set. some of the sets, particularly the outside sets, are not as big as you'd imagine. and i'm stood looking around, going, how?

how is this going to look as if, you know, the ambulance that's always stood by on sets isn't there? and all this stuff. getting used to being directed by george clooney, though, proved easier than expected. i got over very quickly the fact that he is george clooney, you know, and he'sjust a regular guy who loves telling jokes and hollywood anecdotes. the boys in the boat has gone on general release this weekend. sarah smith, bbc news. if george clooney came asking i would say yes. we have so much fantastic television at the beginning of 2024 but we have had have had mr bates vs the post office and the traitors grabbing the nation's attention. and with the return of the nostalgic '905 hit gladiators, is traditional tv viewing making a comeback? let's take a look at what's

been keeping audiences entertained so far. so i say, prove it. prove that i'm wrong and you're right. show me the figures. but they can't or won't do that. alan... so now they want to close me down to shut me up... that's ridiculous! ..because they don't want everyone knowing what i know. which is? that the fancy new computer system that they've spent an arm and a leg on is faulty. contender, ready? gladiator, ready? en garde. three...two...one... kerry goes all out from the start.

players, the time for talk is over. please write down the name of the person you believe is a traitor on your slate now. in this game, i am and have always been... ..100% faithful. so so exciting. we are nowjoined on the sofa by tv critic scott bryan. there's so much to talk about and it's only the 14th of january. it’s it's only the 14th of january. it's one of the _ it's only the 14th ofjanuary. it's one of the busiest times of year when _ one of the busiest times of year when it— one of the busiest times of year when it comes to tv but there has been _ when it comes to tv but there has been such— when it comes to tv but there has been such a — when it comes to tv but there has been such a great run of tv so far this year — been such a great run of tv so far this year mr— been such a great run of tv so far this year. mr bates versus the post office _ this year. mr bates versus the post office. . ~ ., , . . . office. talk to us about that. that sto has office. talk to us about that. that story has been — office. talk to us about that. that story has been around, _ office. talk to us about that. that story has been around, the - office. talk to us about that. that| story has been around, the papers and doing it, panorama has done it there has been an inquiry going, but

the wannabe prime minister and the former prime minister in an ever more dangerous world. has a new era of action taken off? american and british strikes on targets in yemen — retaliation for houthi fighters' audacious attacks on ships in the red sea. prime minister. they happened while the prime minister was en route to another conflict zone — to promise more uk help for ukraine. we need to send a strong signal that this breach of international law is wrong. the bombing of yemen was backed

by the labour leader, too. we do support this action. with keir starmer hoping to follow these two into downing street, hoping his picture will one day hang there, too, if he wins. the polls — and real votes at by—elections — suggest labour is well on course. but there are months to go before the real test will come. so our one big question this morning — how should the uk's leaders cope with crises abroad now, in an increasingly uncertain world? who better to ask than the foreign secretary, david cameron — now a member of the house of lords? but if he makes it to number 10, how would keir starmer deal with the evolving threats around the world?

morning, morning.
