this is a region washington, dc. this is a region built on coal and steel, a blue—collar work force who told me they have helped alienate it for too long and believe they finally have a champion in the white house, one who will not accept the hysteria around climate change and who will negotiate trade deals at home and abroad all to bring theirjobs back. if he has not quite delivered here in harrisburg yet, the unemployment rate remains about the same, and of course it is worth mentioning that he has not managed to introduce a major piece of legislation within his first 100 days, but those failings, his supporters feel, go to capitol hill politicians, not their president. this is a blue—collar workforce that has been offered hope by donald trump, and that is a win he will take for now. 0k, laura, many thanks for now. one of the world's most accomplished mountaineers, ueli steck, has been killed in an accident on mount everest. known as the swiss machine,

he was climbing alone in preparation for a new route up the mountain. he was climbing alone in preparation he'd won numerous awards and was celebrated for the speed of his climbs. and was celebrated for alexandra mackenzie reports. and was celebrated for mount and was celebrated for everest — dangerous and daunting, mount everest — dangerous and daunting, even for the most experienced climbers. the idea is just climbing from base camp, just on the normal route... ueli steck was preparing to tackle a new and particularly difficult road without oxygen. i think it is possible, particularly difficult road without oxygen. ithink it is possible, but we don't know. but that is exactly the challenge, the interesting thing. nobody has done that before, so thing. nobody has done that before, soi thing. nobody has done that before, so i think the chance is there that it is possible, but i don't know. so, he knew the dangers of everest. he had reached the summit without oxygen in 2012. in 2015, he climbed all 82 alpine peaks over 4000 metres injust 62 days, and he

all 82 alpine peaks over 4000 metres in just 62 days, and he conquered the north face of the tiger in less than three hours. ueli steck was on ever rest to acclimatise when it is thought that he slipped and fell. his body has been recovered, and tributes have been paid. he broke amazing records by a mixture of modesty, humility and great ability, on top of athleticism of the most amazing type. the pit again, really cool. the climbing community says it has lost a pioneer who was known for his speed and ruthlessly methodical approach, with an ability to push himself to the limits of human endurance. alexandra mckenzie, bbc news. with all the sport, here's lizzie greenwood—hughes at the bbc sport centre. lizzie greenwood—hughes antonio conte says his side must become champions for a good season

again with victory over their nearest rivals. still, there remains some distance to travel. earlier, leaders chelsea had made the potentially difficult trip to everton and were almost greeted with an early goal. dominic calvin lewin hitting the post within a couple of minutes. an early scare for chelsea, but they are not the type of site to be rushed. it took until the second half to find their inspiration, and it came from pedro. a goal of spectacular quality. it was worth the wait. patient but no rate was —— but now ruthless. gary cahill got a goalfrom but now ruthless. gary cahill got a goal from close range but now ruthless. gary cahill got a goalfrom close range before williams completed the victory. 3—0, three points, and antonio conte's side now three points away from the premiership title. this premiership title. is how the top of the league looks this is how the top of the league looks after today's action. chelsea

are still ahead of spurs. manchester city and united are in fourth and fifth. finland's valtteri bottas has picked up his first victory in formula one, winning the russian grand prix. up his first victory in formula one, the mercedes driver beat both ferraris to the first corner and held off a late charge from championship leader sebastian vettel for his maiden win. from championship leader lewis hamilton could only finish fourth. with only finish fourth. his eye on a major win, it was va ltteri with his eye on a major win, it was valtteri bottas's chance to shine. it was up to the finnish driver to ta ke it was up to the finnish driver to take the fight of harare. he dispatched them into back corners. the second of those proved trickier for britain's jolyon palmer, the second of those proved trickier for britain'sjolyon palmer, whose race ended in a tangle of tyres. as hamilton struggled his way to fall, the seemingly unflappable finn, so co mforta bly the seemingly unflappable finn, so comfortably leading for so long, flat with his first win in sight. that left sebastian vettel to hunt

him down the final few nerve—racking laps. it was edge of your seat stuff as vettel‘s harare and hustled, though the castle would be won by bottas, a grand prix winner at the 82nd attempt. yes. well done! today, he was very much number one. john higgins has made a strong start in the final of snooker‘s world championship in sheffield. the scot w011 championship in sheffield. the scot won five frames in a row to take a 6-2 won five frames in a row to take a 6—2 lead over the world one and defending champion mark selby going into tonight's second session. higgins isa into tonight's second session. higgins is a four—time winner at the crucible. it is the first 18 frames to ta ke crucible. it is the first 18 frames to take the title. and that is the sport. back to you, clive. lizzie, sport. back to you, clive. thank you for that. hello.

this is the bbc news. priceless egyptian artefacts that were badly damaged during the second world war are once again going on display at liverpool's world museum, for the first time in more than 70 years. a gallery expansion and extensive restoration work means they're now part of the largest egyptology collection outside of london, as lindsey prosser reports. from the everyday to the beautifully decorative, these objects reflect the rise and fall of ancient egyptian society. it is our most ambitious exhibition we have done for egypt. we've got a whole range of artefacts, right from the prehistoric period, we have stone vases and stone tools, all the way through the christianity in egypt. so we've got these beautiful leather slippers that people would wear

in life, and also be buried in. when the museum was bombed during the second world war, part of its priceless collection was badly damaged. we have two granite statues of the goddess sekhmet, a human form with a lioness head, and they were both shattered. the fire damaged the two pieces, which were intact before then, and it wasn't until recently we have restored them, pieced them back together, and put them back on display for the first time with the rest of the egyptian collection. the challenge for this team is to move the statues into the gallery without breaking them. at the same time, mummies who were also fire—damaged are being installed. we keep the objects not because they look stunning, because they look beautiful.

it is because of the information they hold. so part of what we do is unlocking the stories that they hold, and revealing their hidden histories. we have two romano—period mummies here, and they are both quite young. one is a teenager. we have wondered in the past if they were associated with each other, so they could be sisters. you never know, they could be. this display at liverpool's world museum is now the largest ancient egyptian gallery outside of london. at the grand old age of 105, mary hayes has finally received her birthday wish. every year at her care home in bath, she's asked what she'd like for her birthday, and every year mary says — a fireman! well, this time, they took her at her word... and avon fire and rescue's finest came to present her with a cake. 0h! happy birthday mary. any more?

well done and happy birthday, mary. time for a look at the weather. it is big contrast, completely different at the other end of the country. and the reason for that contrast, it is the low pressure that has been going south west, and some isobars, continuing to be breezy. and some rain to be had across the southern half of the united kingdom. it could get to manchester. but above that, fine and dry. the lowest temperatures, probably on the west of scotland.
