now be the interim director of by, now be the interim director of rugby, i suppose. now be the interim director of rugby, isuppose. if now be the interim director of rugby, i suppose. if they decide he is better at —— as a tracksuited manager, then there are a number of names in the fray for the director's job. you cannot look past stuart lancaster, who is doing a brilliant job with leinster, but perhaps wants to come back to english rugby. there is jake white, the former south africa manager. he will be a free agent in the summer, so it is up in the airat agent in the summer, so it is up in the air at the moment. michael van gerwen has won his second world championship title. he beat gary anderson 7—3 at alexandra palace. the dutchman, the world number one, was throwing for the match at 6—2 up. when he was briefly interrupted bya up. when he was briefly interrupted by a prankster, who had made his way onto the stage and lifted the trophy. he was quickly dealt with, as you can see. the flying scotsman was looking for a hat—trick of world titles, he won that set. but michael van gerwen, who won his first title in 2014, took the next set, sealed
10:41 pm
the match, and he takes the £350,000 first prize, as well as the trophy. it has been an incredible season for the dutchman. that is his 26th title. that is it from sportsday. from all of us at the bbc sports centre, for now, good night. welcomes our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow morning. —— welcomes our look ahead. i have the business editor of the independent here as well as caroline wheeler, political editor of the sunday express. we will look to the papers ina sunday express. we will look to the papers in a moment, but first, let's have a look at the front pages. the
10:42 pm
daily telegraph reporting a warning from public health england that children are eating half their recommended daily allowance before they even leave for school. —— daily allowa nce they even leave for school. —— daily allowance of sugar. the istanbul terror attack is the lead on the independent. is has declared war on turkey, it says. it is the same lead for its sister paper which carries a striking image of the funeral of one of the victims. meanwhile, the times leads with the rail price hike, saying that rail fares are six times higher than those in europe. one study says commuters now pay 27p for every minute they are on a train. a similar front every minute they are on a train. a similarfront page for every minute they are on a train. a similar front page for the metro, which reports claims that thousands of commuters will be spending 14% of their incomes on train fares. a political lead for the daily mirror, it reports that an aid for nigel farage could face time in jail after a plan to foil drug smugglers in the
10:43 pm
us. pakistanis have been queueing at cashpoints to use cars loaded with british taxpayers money, according to the daily mail. the daily express leads with health care, it says that staying in shape can stave off dementia. those are the front pages. let's have a slightly more in—depth look with caroline and ben. we will kick off with the daily telegraph and a health story. a warning from public health england to make households and families across the land feel incredibly bad about what they are giving their children at brea kfast. they are giving their children at breakfast. an astonishing statistic. the average child is eating the equivalent of three cubes of sugar every day at breakfast. which will bea every day at breakfast. which will be a frightening prospect for a lot of families. we are all parents, are you shocked by that figure? when you read it on paper you think, well,
10:44 pm
obviously my children are not having that, and obviously we are virtuous and give our children the right... they are not average children. obviously. but when you think about what you do feed your children, we we re what you do feed your children, we were trying to work out the best breakfast for a child, and the best we could come up with his porridge. but in porridge they want raisins, honey, treacle, whatever comes with it. then you have cereals, and lots of them, even the ones you think are good, you know, not like coco pops, are full of sugar. but what strikes me about this more than anything else is it is the drinks. what do you give your child to drink at breakfast? we would quite often give them a glass of orange juice. what they are saying here is that even they are saying here is that even the guidelines around that have changed and that we should only be giving our child one portion of a fruit drink per day will stop we might give that at breakfast. —— per day. they might have one at lunch,
10:45 pm
after—school club, etc. so you can see how easily the amount of sugar a child intakes add up throughout the course of the day. and children are becoming far more educated, possibly more than their parents, at school. my more than their parents, at school. my daughter is coming home at the age of eight and telling me fruit juice has too much sugar, i shouldn't be drinking fruitjuice. i tell her to drink it. but i think children are becoming aware of what they are eating. maybe that is a good thing. as strange as it is to be lectured on things like that from oui’ be lectured on things like that from our children, it might be a good thing. breakfast is a difficult time of day. you are tired, you want your children to go, eat, set themselves up children to go, eat, set themselves upfor children to go, eat, set themselves up for the day. you've got to rush to work, you have lots of pressure on you. you are probably not thinking as much as you are necessarily at other meals and at the weekend about what is in food. we should be focusing more on what is in these things. do you agree
10:46 pm
with jamie oliver and his sugar tax? from an economic perspective it's a good thing. you can force the consumer to realise the content is and the social ramifications of this stuff by changing the price. the problem with it is it is a false economy to a certain extent because if impact on those families that are least able to afford it. there are issues around price. but when it comes down to, what has been happening over the last decade, or so, we happening over the last decade, or so, we are happening over the last decade, or so, we are seeing happening over the last decade, or so, we are seeing an happening over the last decade, or so, we are seeing an increase in the numberof primary so, we are seeing an increase in the number of primary school children who are classed as obese when they start. i find that alarming. at the same time, you've got to change habits, you've got to change behaviour. i was talking to a food nutritionist who was talking about, well, you've got to start with the parents rather than the children, because only when we start changing out because only when we start changing our behaviour toward our children, not rewarding, for example, with
10:47 pm
sweets, and saying, if you are good money will buy you chocolate. actually saying, if you are a good book, we will go and play football. oranother book, we will go and play football. or another leisure activity. i am in favour of what jamie had to say in all of this. i'm finding it harder and harder to differentiate between puppy and harder to differentiate between puppy fat and children that are unnecessarily overweight. habits have changed so much. the times, those rail fares, goodness, have changed so much. the times, those railfares, goodness, it is going to hurt, isn't it? we all travel by train at some point in the year. you, as well? absolutely. and iama year. you, as well? absolutely. and i am a southern rail traveller. i am feeling more of the pain. it is another bad new year story. at the start of every year it is the time when the new rail fares kick in and they go up by a certain level above inflation every year. and a lot of people will be feeling the pinch when they come to renew their season
10:48 pm
tickets in the next few days and go back to work. the southern rail story skews our perceptions. because it is so bad that it is so consistently on the news. the overall rail service is not as bad as southern rail. it is worth pointing that out. but the cost is high, relative to europe. is it right to compare it with europe? no. when i go and top up to go to work tomorrow, i would like to see that that it has —— i would not like to see that the price has gone up. nobody will be pleased. but we are weighing six times higher than in europe. —— but we are paying. yes, they don't see the rise is as much, but their infrastructure is nationalised and they pay much higher taxes. —— rises. nationalised and they pay much highertaxes. —— rises. it is a payoff over whether we are paying it
10:49 pm
in terms of their price hikes, or taxation. but we have seen a period of time where we haven't seen any investment in our rail infrastructure. to be fair, whether you agree with hsz infrastructure. to be fair, whether you agree with h52 and the ramifications of crossrail, of some of the other big infrastructure projects this government are driving forward , projects this government are driving forward, actually, in terms of the people using our rail services, you know, the numbers are going up. people using our rail services, you know, the numbers are going upm is higher than ever. it has to be a positive thing that we are getting people onto rail and off the roads from an environmental perspective. we will all be reading this, we will slump into our sugary breakfast tomorrow morning in dismay, ultimately the point is that, you know, they pay in a different way to how we pay, but we all pay. we will stay with the times. the story at the top, this little spat that has developed through today, a bit of tit—for—tat. do you agree with what
10:50 pm
men mccluskey has said? it's interesting because he has always been the union leader who has always stood up to jeremy been the union leader who has always stood up tojeremy corbyn. —— len. a very different tone in these comments. he is saying, if he won't be turned around by the time of the next election, they are not egomaniacs, they will probably step down. i'm sure caroline will talk about this. there is a bit of union politics going on. mccloskey is in a battle to be re—elected to unite, a very important union, but perhaps he is thinking more about that than have this comes across, but this is not great headlines forjeremy corbyn. it is gameplaying. len did not have to stand down at the time that he has done. he chose to do this for political reasons. he said it would help the union by having
10:51 pm
simultaneous elections rather than later run. but he has now found himself in a stand—off with his deputy, who is much more of a moderate. so, actually, when you think about the dynamics of this, you know, mccluskey seem to be in the pockets of jeremy you know, mccluskey seem to be in the pockets ofjeremy corbyn, and vice versa in this context, and actually he will now be challenged bya actually he will now be challenged by a moderate, actually he will now be challenged bya moderate, his actually he will now be challenged by a moderate, his language around jeremy corbyn, it has to change a little bit. because ultimately, i mean, what are the unions in a relationship with labour if labour isn't going to be in power again, or certainly not for the foreseeable? when you look at the polling recently... 24%. and when you look at the polling recently... 2496. and that also shows that that is the lowest support for labour since july 1983, which was michael foot. and that was just months before he wrote his longest ever suicide note in history. ——
10:52 pm
michael foot. everybody thought that labour would go onto the back burner is for a while. but after this, it says that labour could have as few as seat after the next election. and he has been given two years. ok, let's turn to the ft. i was trying to get my head around this one. what are they trying to tell us? airbnb are they trying to tell us? airbnb are bringing in a 90 day limit. you cannot let your property for more than three months in a year. some number crunching has been done. they say that because of the restriction the company will miss out on £400 million of revenue. it is an interesting story about his burgeoning sector of the sharing economy, and how regulations are going to put it back in its box. you can say it is a good or bad thing, but i think there is a strong case,
10:53 pm
reading the detail, that it is an unfair playing field. because they have advantages in terms of tax that hotels do not have. if you are going to bea hotels do not have. if you are going to be a hotel by any other means it does make sense to have them put on a level playing field. especially when it points out that such a large numberof when it points out that such a large number of those people offering this service, they are notjust people living next door to you, offering their spare bedroom, lots of them are professional listings. they are hotels in any other name that are benefiting from it. the other thing to rememberabout benefiting from it. the other thing to remember about this, the reason people go to airbnb, it is competitively priced. we could see indications post brexit and the benefit the economy is seen from that with people wanting to come into our cities. i will quite often use airbnb over a hotel chain because we are a family of five. and if we go and stay at a hotel it is
10:54 pm
two rooms that we need, and it is astronomical, and finding two connecting rooms can be difficult. renting out a three—bedroom property ina renting out a three—bedroom property in a city is very welcome to us. barack pros and cons for both, the problem and the solution here. barack pros and cons for both, the problem and the solution herem this a new tax? has it always been in place? it has always been in place but it hasn't been enforced. airbnb have said they will start enforcing that from this year. airbnb have said they will start enforcing that from this yeahm has been mentioned in the last financial statement. i think they are trying to get ahead of the politicians, which is possibly a sensible move. what is your new year ‘s resolution regarding your health? the daily express are giving you a chance here, not only to get yourself it, but also potentially stave off a risk of dementia, developing dementia. stave off a risk of dementia, developing dementialj stave off a risk of dementia, developing dementia. i think it is a very good bit of advice. my personal
10:55 pm
resolution is not to read so many diet plans, keep fit schemes, because they are dominating the newspapers. i am going to have a look at breakfast cereals as soon as i get home and think about those again. it is the daily express, but would that headline make you think there is another reason for me to get fit? thing is, most of these things, keep fit, don't get diabetes, don't get dementia, they are things that he would initially think, you know, generally looking after yourself, whether it is dementia, obesity, you know, diabetes, any of those things, is a good thing. most people will be thinking that. but it is the beginning of the year. i think we have all admitted that we are thinking, you know, thinking ourselves thin, as we reach for the biscuit tin. the paper links obesity and type two diabetes to a greater risk of developing dementia. i think all getting into it. anyway,
10:56 pm

10:57 pm
since sunset. a cold night to come, particularly across the southern half of the country, where we could see icy stretches on untreated surfaces for social areas, wales and the south, as well. to the north of the south, as well. to the north of the country, it isn't as cold because the crowd is keeping things above freezing. but some areas down south could drop as low as minus four. it will be a chilly start tomorrow morning. further north—west, this is sam, more cloud and outbreaks of rain in northern and outbreaks of rain in northern and north—western scotland. a few spots getting into northern ireland. much of northern ireland and northern england generally cloudy. spells everywhere for those east of higher ground. clear spells allowing not just a higher ground. clear spells allowing notjust a sharp higher ground. clear spells allowing not just a sharp frost in higher ground. clear spells allowing notjust a sharp frost in the south, but the odd pocket of mist and freezing fog. a similar story in southern parts of wales under those clear skies. through the day, most of us looking dry. we will continue to see rain over the north west of
10:58 pm
scotland. fairly cloudy over north—western areas. further east and south, sunny skies, but quite afresh with the temperatures, generally around six to 7 degrees. we could see eight or nine in the north, but it will be windy, particularly over northern parts of scotland. midway, high—pressure store dominating. this week cold front will push south. not much rain on it, but it will open the doors to cold air streaming on it, but it will open the doors to cold airstreaming in on it, but it will open the doors to cold air streaming in once again from a northerly direction. —— high—pressure still dominating. if you are exposed to those nazi winds it'll feel quite chilly towards the east. further west, bit it'll feel quite chilly towards the east. furtherwest, bit more it'll feel quite chilly towards the east. further west, bit more in the way of cloud, but it should thin and break through the course of the day. another decent, quiet day with that high—pressure and highs around for to9 high—pressure and highs around for to 9 degrees. high—pressure stays with us as we look towards the end of the week. —— four to 9 degrees. it will turn milder and cloudy as we
