one of the "must see" places for millions of tourists to see when they visit london is picadilly and its famous lights. but from today they're going to be disappointed because the lights on the famous advertising hoardings were switched off at 8:30 this morning for refurbishment. and they're going to stay off until the autumn — that's the longest time they'll have been off since the second world war. the six screens currently used are being replaced by one single giant new screen. very wet in london this morning. phil is here with a look at the weather. hello. urban obsession, warm pewter. linen cupboard, are just some of the ways the paint industry would sell you the colour grey. i prefer our weather watchers to do the talking. the skies are not just that leaden, there are one or two gaps in the cloud and one or two folk are doing quite well on the day, thank you very much. you get

the sense there is a lot of cloud to be had and there was enough about it as sophie indicated, for there to be as sophie indicated, for there to be a bit of rain round, they were not quite done with that yet. let us teleyou forward an hour or two. the eastern side of scotland doing quite well with sunshine here, and then we have a warm front dangling from yorkshire down through the bristol area and the south coast, as we have seen, one area and the south coast, as we have seen, one or area and the south coast, as we have seen, one or two spots in east anglia doing nicely, if you are far enough way to wales from that weather front, you might enough way to wales from that weatherfront, you might see enough way to wales from that weather front, you might see the odd patch of rain, but it's a hope rather than a guarantee, overnight the warm front fizzles, the cold front the warm front fizzles, the cold fro nt m oves the warm front fizzles, the cold front moves in scotland, northern ireland, into western parts and it helps that blanket of cloud to keep the temperatures up. that is not the case as we come to east anglia and the south—east, where there will be a chilly and frosty start to the day in those area, all the while that front dangles across the border, working into the north of england to the south—west, leaden skies here, murky fayre on the hills. it is mild in scotland, northern ireland, but having had that chilly start bright

skies yes, but the temperatures struggle. so that is the first couple of days, on into middle part of the week. do things change? not really. there is this influx of mild airfrom the really. there is this influx of mild air from the atlantic, which will boost the temperatures in northern ireland and scotland, but and it is a significant but, into the south—east, it will be on the chilly side by night and day. that could be your daytime maximum. why the discrepancy? it is because the mild air has flooded in from the atlantic to some but not all, that south—east quarter is tapping in to a really cold continent. you will notice as far south and west as madrid. never better than minus one. it makes a difference whether you are on the southern flank or as we have seen the relatively milder airs coming into northern and western parts of the british isles helping to get the temperatures up. fairly settled fare, just beginning to each things out by the latter part of the week.

there is still a lot of cloud, but predominantly dry. there is still a lot of cloud, but predominantly dry. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime: the president—elect donald trump promises a quick trade deal with the uk after he takes office on friday. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon. now time for a look at the day's sports news with me, jessica creighton. andy murray has got his australian open campaign off to a winning start. he beat ukraine's illya marchenko in straight sets, although the world no.1 was made to battle by the world no.95. the match took two hours and 48 minutes in the melbourne heat. murray next faces russia's andrey rublev in round two. i think he played well, with very aggressive, so that made it hard. also the conditions, it was playing very fast out there, the ball was very lively,

which it hasn't been in the practice week. ifound it hard, but managed to get through. dan evans is also through to the second round. he beat argentina's facundo bagnis in straight sets and is up against seventh seed marin cilic next. but british no.1; aljaz bedene is out. he lost to victor estrella burgos. no, it's good to feel accepted a bit more in these tournaments. obviously last week helps, and to come back today and get a straight sets victory is always good for me. roger federer needed four sets to beat austria's jurgen melzer. it's federer‘s first grand slam since injury forced him to miss most of 2016. and number four seed stan wawrinka survived a scare in his first round match. he was taken to a fifth set against slovakian martin klizen. but the three—time grand slam champion won the final three games of the deciding set to progress.

and in the women's draw, defending champion and world number one angelique kerber was also taken to a deciding set in her first round match. but the german beat lesia surenko of ukraine injust over two hours. commonwealth swimming champion fran halsall has announced her retirement from the sport. during an international career lasting over a decade, halsall made her olympic debut at beijing 2008 and narrowly missed out on medals at both london 2012 and rio 2016. she won over 30 medals at world, european and commonwealth level, but says she's ready for a new chapter in her life. four—time olympic champion laura kenny has pulled out of the british track cycling championships with a hamstring injury. a statement from british cycling says kenny will miss the event in manchester at the end of the month and is having treatment. the injury casts doubt on her participation at the world championships in april. premier league clubs have been accused of prioritising their finances, over improving disabled access in their stadiums, according to a report by the culture media & sport committee.

in 2015 the premier league promised to improve stadium facilities for disabled fans by august of this year. but several clubs including the likes of watford, chelsea and liverpool are expected to miss that deadline. a statement by the premier league says they are working hard to enhance disabled fan access and will report on each club's progress at the end of the month. formula 1 now. valtteri bottas' dream move to race alongside lewis hamilton at the mercedes formula one team is a step closer, with sauber signing pascal wehrlein for next season. the 22—year—old was mercedes reserve driver last year, but raced for manor. wehrlein‘s move to the swiss team makes it likely bottas will leave williams to join the german team to replace world champion nico rosberg who's retired. british sailor alex thomson has set a world record for the longest distance sailed solo in 2a hours in the vendee globe — that's the non—stop race around the world. thomason covered 536.8 miles — an average of 25 miles

an hour for a whole day. he broke the previous record by two miles, and now he's looking to win the race. looking forward to it. been working ha rd looking forward to it. been working hard the last couple of days. it's a lot easier with anemometer. not too bad. feel in good shape, ready for the last run in, give it my all and keep my fingers crossed. that's all sport for now. and you can also watch the masters snooker on the bbc sport website right now. john higgins is taking on mark allen. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i'll have more in the next hour. you are watching bbc news with me, simon mccoy. the breaking news, a man has been taken to hospital, three others have been injured after an explosion which has almost

com pletely an explosion which has almost completely destroyed a house in manchester this lunchtime. this happened in cecil road, in blackley at 1240. a man thought to have serious injuries has been taken to salford royal, three others were treated at the scene is walking wounded. crews are conducting a search of the area. apparently the end terrace house is almost com pletely end terrace house is almost completely collapsed. more on that a little later. more now on our top story this afternoon — and donald trump has promised a trade deal between britain and the united states will be a priority when he takes office as us president on friday. he was speaking to the former justice secretary and prominent brexit campaigner michael gove for the times newspaper. lets listen to a little of what he had to say about his impressions of britain. my my mother loved the queen, she was

so proud of the queen. she loved the ceremonial and the beauty, because nobody does that like the english. she had great respect for the queen. liked her. any time that queen was on television, and events, my mother would be watching. i thought the uk was so smart in getting out. you we re was so smart in getting out. you were there and you guys wrote it, put it on the front page, trump said that brexit was going to happen, right? riaz. everybody thoughtl that brexit was going to happen, right? riaz. everybody thought i was crazy. obama said they'll go to the back of the line, meaning if it does happen. that was a bad statement. now you are at the front of the queue? i think you're doing great. countries want their own identity. the uk wanted its own identity. but ido the uk wanted its own identity. but i do believe this. if they hadn't been forced to take in all of the

refugees, so many, and all the problems it entails, i think you wouldn't have a brexit, it probably could have worked out. let's get reaction to donald trump's comments from economist george magnus, whojoins me from via webcam. a lot of people saying this is a very positive reaction from the about to be american president. in reality, can he put us near the front of the queue? a lot of people probably think it's rather a cynical interview. i think if the trump presidency wants to make a big issue of free trade and would like to do a deal with the united kingdom, which obviously the british government would want to do outside of the eu, then i think... i think it could put us, it could prioritise the united kingdom as a country it wanted to do business with. that said, american

businesses, really, are here and interested in the uk principally, not only but principally because of the fact we are in the eu. so lots of things would have to change. a lot of time, i think, would elapse. i don't think there's any question of the quick deal. we should be interested in a good deal, not a quick deal. trade deal at haste, repent at leisure. indeed. free trade itself is a bit of a misnomer as an expression. what free trade really is about is reducing the regulatory impediments to trade. this is not just regulatory impediments to trade. this is notjust about tariffs, by the way, but this is about what people call behind the board of restraints. for example, what sort of provisions would there be about american agricultural producers who may have different views about genetically modified crops, for example, exporting products to

britain? what about pharmaceuticals, health care, drugs prices, things we think are important, particularly from the standpoint of our own nhs. technology and advanced manufacturing. so, we would have to make sure this is a good deal for british producers, as well as americans would want a good deal for them. it's not always easy to arrive at such an arrangement. what about those watching the interview in berlin, who may be fearful of the prospect of jeeps berlin, who may be fearful of the prospect ofjeeps driving round in their thousands rather than mercedes. there is an economic argument here, isn't there? very definitely. one of the many things i think got conveniently missed out of the interview that michael gove had with the president—elect is that the trump administration has strong designs and the republicans have strong designs on creating a less

free trade environment. they would like to send more exports to the rest of the world and have people driving around in american cars, if that's possible. but also they would wa nt to that's possible. but also they would want to restrict considerably the imports coming into the us. donald trump today tweeted about imposing a 35% tariff on bmw, for example because of the production they do in mexico. sorry about that. it's a mind telling you are on the telly. tax reform is going to be a big issue. one of the elements of that reform will be import tariffs, the equivalent of import tariffs on export subsidies. it's not the case the americans are interested in the kind of free trade the british government might want. can i talk

about tomorrow, what we are expected to hear from theresa may. about tomorrow, what we are expected to hearfrom theresa may. is it your view there is no harm in saying we clear the debts, ignore all the deals we have at the moment, start from scratch? therefore you have lost nothing and only have something to gain? in a sense. i think the greater clarity the prime minister brings to her stance or the government's stance on brexit, the better things are period. everyone will understand better what where they stand and they can take action accordingly. i don't think it will be quite as clear as that although a lot of people think she will bring some substance to what has hitherto been rather weak form. some substance to what has hitherto been rather weakform. if some substance to what has hitherto been rather weak form. if the implications of the prime minister's speech provide for a view that says, we will not be in the single market, we will not be in the single market,

we will not be in the single market, we will leave the customs union, we will try to reach some kind of deal with the eu, important sectors of the british economy may be allowed to flourish somehow. that, i think, is what we will learn tomorrow. that will pin the government's colours to the mast of where it wants to go. how it will get there with regard to negotiating with the other eu states is the hard part, and what the government will have to determine in the next two years and probably much longer. thank you forjoining us. and you can watch full coverage of donald trump's inauguration as the 45th president of the united states here on bbc news. our coverage begins on friday afternoon at 3pm live from washington with katy kay — with the new president sworn in at 5pm. the coroner at the inquest

into the death of a mother who died after an emergency caesarean section says her death was a result of "failures, inadequate diagnosis and treatment". frances cappuccini, who was thirty, suffered a heart attack after an operation to stop heavy blood loss at tunbridge wells hospital. our correspondent daniel boettcher is at gravesend coroners court. what has the inquest being told? this has been a hugely complicated case. frances cappuccini was taken to tunbridge wells hospital in october, 2012, to give birth. because of complications with her first child, the inquest heard, she opted to have a caesarean section this time. in actual fact she went into 12 hour labour at tunbridge wells hospital and eventually had an emergency caesarean section. there we re emergency caesarean section. there were complications and she went on to suffer severe and significant

blood loss. it wasn't until doctors found a piece of placenta accidentally left in her uterus, it measured four centimetres in diameter, it wasn't until that had been removed that the bleeding finally stopped. frances cappuccini's family have been here for the duration of this inquest, two reeks, which has seen 30 witnesses give evidence. today the coroner said there had been a failure to properly diagnose and treat frances cappuccini at tunbridge wells hospital in october, 2012. half an hour ago, three quarters of an hour ago, the family's lawyer was outside this coroner ‘s court in gravesend, giving a statement and reaction to the coroner's findings. the lawyer said frances cappuccini had been a wonderful wife, bubbly and intelligent, she had been loved. she said nothing can heal the pain of her loss. the truth, the family said, had now been acknowledged. we have had a response from tunbridge

wells nhs trust as well. they handed a statement of the journalists here and the trust said it wanted to extend its deepest sympathies to the family of frances cappuccini. it said asa family of frances cappuccini. it said as a direct result of frances cappuccini's tragic death, the trust has made a number of changes to its processes and have further improved patient safety and experience. it went on to say the trust will carefully consider all the evidence heard at the inquest to make sure any necessary changes which have not already been made, are fully addressed. it looks like this chapter in the whole saga of frances cappuccini's death, that happened in 2012, have finally come to a conclusion here today. thank you for joining us. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first — the headlines on bbc news: donald trump is that the uk is doing great following its vote for brexit and has promised to do a quick trade deal with britain after he takes

over the presidency later this week. fresh assembly elections in northern ireland are likely to be called this afternoon after sinn fein declined to nominate a replacement for martin mcguinness. the former crewe alexandra croce has pleaded not guilty to eight charges of sexual assault against a boy under 16. in the business news today: the pound has hit its lowest level for more than three months — it fell below the $1.20 level before recovering slightly on monday. analysts said traders were reacting to reports that the uk prime minister theresa may would use a speech on tuesday to signal britain would quit the single marker. —— single market. bt recorded more than 31 million nuisance calls in a single week before christmas. it said more than 12 million of those were about accident claims. you may not have heard of luxottica and essilor, but they are massive players in what might be called the eye—wear market. essilor makes lenses and luxottica makes sunglasses,

ray—ban among them. they are merging and together will be worth about £40 billion. now achieving world domination after before you even reach the age of 30 might sound a tad ambitous for some...but there are plenty of examples of these exceptionally talented individuals. forbes magazine have today released their top 30 under 30 list. joining me now to discuss the list is randall lane, the editor of forbes magazine. i've been having a look at the list. you say you have scoped, mostly europe it looks like, looking for individuals that will create an impact in the next 50 years and that our disrupters. how do you define that? we do this list in the us and now here in europe. this is a list for europe. over 20,000 people, nominations for this list we filter

down. we havejudges in every category. we wound up in europe with 30 people in ten different industries, 300 total, that have passed this test. were looking for entrepreneurs on anyone making an impact now. when you say pass this test, what are the parameters? we are looking for people doing it right now, already making a difference entrepreneurially and looking for people. these are the people who are going to be the ones who are going to be running their field and already doing things that are disrupting the field, that means new inventions, new ideas, taking every industry... there's no such thing as one tech industry any more, you have this young cohort, these under 30s who grew up in a visual age, thinking about the internet and

with the internet and able to think of ideas and solutions people older than 30 won't necessarily see. we're all living longer, there is proof of that. is it time to move it to top 40 under 40? i will take top 50 under 50! is there an argument for that? you get to a certain point and you're supposed to be doing it. if you're supposed to be doing it. if you had a 50 under 50 or 40 under 40... what you had a 50 under 50 or 40 under 40. .. what we're you had a 50 under 50 or 40 under 40... what we're doing is finding that next generation. what's unique about this list, for the first time in human history it's now an advantage in many fields to be young, because they're able to come up young, because they're able to come up with ideas and actualise things because their brains are wired differently, because they grew up with the internet and are able to see solutions. that's why snapchat and facebook and all sorts of ideas came from people who are under 30. tinder. they are able to conceive things who people who are older and

just as smart but brains aren't wired because a lot of us grew up without the internet and think differently. thank you very much for joining us. my pleasure. let's take a look at some of today's other business stories... nearly half of working fathers would like a less stressfuljob so they can spend more time caring for their children. that's according to a report form the charity working families which also said employers are not doing enough to help dads take a more active role in childcare. facebook is introducing new tools in germany to help control the number of fake news links on the site. it said it would enable german users to flag potentially false stories. the stories will then be passed to third—party fact—checkers and if found to be unreliable, will be marked in users' news feeds as "disputed". the world's eight richest individuals have as much wealth as the 3.6bn people who make up the poorest half of the world,

hospital, three other people being treated as walking wounded. cause of the explosion as the unknown, that as you can see, the house pretty much destroyed after that explosion which happened at 12.40. any developments on that, any update on the condition of the man in hospital, we will bring it to you. the headlines coming up at two o'clock but first, the weather forecast. thank you. the best we can do in london on is the pavements are drying after the downpours. our weather watchers picking up on a similar theme widely across the british isles. having said that, it's not quite like that everywhere. it very rarely is. one or two have picked up on a much sunnier theme. notjust norfolk, a few spots in scotla nd notjust norfolk, a few spots in scotland doing nicely this afternoon. you get the sense there

quite a lot of cloud around to be had. if it is leaden with you, you are not alone at all. a weather front is tumbling into northern and western parts of scotland, about five o'clock, just in time for rush—hour. brighter skies towards the east. then we another weather front from the north—east of england down to the dorset coast. either side of that it's a little drier. as you've seen from the weather watch, a bit brighter in norfolk and suffolk. they are the favoured few areas. overnight the more southerly feature fizzles into a band of cloud. the odd spot of drizzle. it keeps temperatures up, because quite a bit of cloud associated with it. that won't be the case in east anglia and the south—east, where there may be a of frost. through the day on tuesday, that weather front will push further south into the north of england, through the west

midlands and wales. this is where the mild air is rushing in from the atlantic. this is where the cold air is, despite the presence of some sunshine. there will be some gloriously sunny skies in east anglia and the south—east. the two faces of january, relatively mild and leaden skies in scotland and northern england with the feed coming in from the atlantic. by contrast, chilly in the south—east, having had those clear skies, temperatures struggle on through the day. that is not your night—time minimum, that could be your daytime maximum on wednesday. the reason for thatis maximum on wednesday. the reason for that is we are tapping in this south—eastern quarter to cold air thatis south—eastern quarter to cold air that is dominating the scene across the continent. the daytime maximum for wednesday. if you're getting that airfrom for wednesday. if you're getting that air from the continent, it never has a chance to warm up. but this aircoming never has a chance to warm up. but this air coming from central parts of the atlantic into northern and

western parts of the british isles isa western parts of the british isles is a little milder, to say the least. lots of cloud. best of the sunshine in eastern scotland. in that south—eastern quarter, but does nothing in the south of the temperatures. this is bbc news. the headlines at two: donald trump promises a trade deal between britain and the united states will be a priority when he takes office on friday. obama said they will go to the back of the line, meaning if it does happen, then he had to retract. that was a bad statement. i think you're doing great. northern ireland's power sharing government looks set to collapse today, sparking fresh elections. i'm at stormont, whether clock is ticking inevitably, it seems, towards the collapse of disassembly and what could be a election campaign. the inquests into the deaths of 30 british tourists killed at a beach resort in tunisia in 2015 opens at the high court in london.
