that remains a yardstick for the long—range wonder goal debate. xabi alonso did it twice for liverpool. but finding an empty net against luton in the fa cup wasn't quite in the same league. rooney's was, though. sometimes these things happen, sometimes it falls for you right to take that shot on. it's not every game you'll obviously be shooting from there but it was the right time and the perfect moment. the goalkeeper was out, and it felt perfect for me. and what makes it all the sweeter, doing it in front of the new boss. sam alla rdyce begins work today on a rescue mission to keep everton up. it didn't look like they were struggling last night, though. a rooney hat—trick topped by that goal. if he stays fit and firing, they mightjust be all right. olly foster, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. there was great amusement in london when there were about three snowfla kes, when there were about three snowflakes, but that's not the case elsewhere, where there's more snow.

absolutely, we had some snow on the beachin absolutely, we had some snow on the beach in scarborough, it shows how cold that area is. this is from scarborough. another one from hartlepool. we've seen lots of snow coming in from gotland for quite a few days now. as far as this evening and tonight is concerned, more snow showers on the way, at least the chance of them around eastern areas of the uk. for northern and eastern scotland, eastern counties of england, possibly into east anglia, perhaps even getting into the home counties and the south—east as well. but we are only talking about flurries of snow. this is what it looks like around 6pm this evening, temperatures more or less what they we re temperatures more or less what they were yesterday, at least that's the forecast, around freezing. a couple of degrees above freezing across yorkshire, cold enough for some smoke. but notice we often mention the word wintry. wintry means a little bit of rain with sleet, sometimes snow, and it chops and changes from hour to hour. we're not talking about vast amount of —— vast

amounts of pure snow, it's a wintry mix. a lot of clear whether in central and western areas of the uk but the main hazard overnight and into the morning will be the ice risk, from eastern scotland all the way down into the south—east and particularly east anglia. as the temperatures outside town dipped below freezing, so some of the snow that perhaps fell last night and this morning will melt during the day and re—freeze, so there will be slippy patches around. take it steady, nothing unusual, but there it in mind. tomorrow, a few snow flurries may be around eastern areas but we are starting to see ever so slightly milder air coming in off the atlantic as we head into the weekend. the winds change direction, that's the crucial thing. they are coming in from the north more or less now, then they are coming in from the atlantic, so we are losing but twos and threes, back to six or seven, maybe ten by sunday. with that, a lair of grey drizzle, so that, a lair of grey drizzle, so that will not feel warm, that's for

sure. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. in the last few minutes the prime minister has repeated her criticism of president trump's decision to show anti—muslim videos on twitter after he publicly rebuked her online. the fact that we work together does not mean that we are afraid to say when we think the united states have got it wrong and be very clear with them, and i'm very clear that re—tweeting from britain first was the wrong thing to do. that's all from the bbc news that one. it's goodbye on me. we now joined the bbc‘s news teams where you are. goodbye. hello, i'm hugh woozencroft with a look at the day's sport here on bbc news. everton striker wayne rooney says the club are looking forward to a "new chapter" under sam alla rdyce. the former england head coach is expected to be appointed as ronald koeman‘s

replacement later today. and fresh after scoring a hat—trick in yesterday's 4—1 win, rooney gave his backing to big sam. obviously i had the one game with england, and it's a new chapter for us. we think sam's a very good manager. and we're all going to have our first day under him tomorrow and prepare for the game saturday. james anderson has revealed that he sought clarification over the five successive bouncers in their innings in brisbane. england's leading wicket taker said he is expecting more of the same in adelaide. wicket taker said he is expecting

more of the same in adelaidem wicket taker said he is expecting more of the same in adelaide. it is not new to us, it is something that asa not new to us, it is something that as a turning batsman, it happens quite a lot, people do target you with short folding, and it is down to us. they were very clear with the fields they set, and what they threw down at us that that is what they are going to do for the foreseeable future. scarlets centre hadleigh parkes will make his wales debut against south africa on saturday in cardiff on the day he qualifies through residency the 30—year—old new zealander will line up at centre alongside scott williams. parkes joined the scarlets in 2014 but wasn't eligible for the first three tests of the autumn — which have seen wales lose to australia and new zealand and narrowly beat georgia. england's professional rugby union players say they want the dispute over their calendar to be resolved within the next two months. the premiership clubs and the rugby players‘ association

are currently at a standoff over plans to extend the season from 2019—2020. this has been rumbling along, and it revolves around how the premiership season revolves around how the premiership season will be structured from 2019 onwards. basically the english clubs wa nt onwards. basically the english clubs want the season extended to start in september and finish in june, want the season extended to start in september and finish injune, and therefore reduce the overlap between clu b therefore reduce the overlap between club and international rugby. however, the players have flat—out rejected this proposal, and they say a 10—month campaign would just be too damaging for player welfare. the two parties therefore are at loggerheads, they are working towards a resolution, there was a big meeting at twickenham yesterday and another at the end of january, and another at the end of january, and my understanding is the players‘ union want to see a resolution struck by that meeting in the new year. a strike has been mooted, and while it‘s not feasible, it‘s still very much remains a last resort.

gordon reid is level at one set all in his second match at the wheelchair tennis masters in loughborough. the reigning paralympic men‘s singles champion lost the first set against the frenchman, but has since levelled the match. the pair are into a decider in their round—robin encounter. and that is all your sport for now. you can find more on all of those stories on the bbc‘s 20. you can follow the end of gordon reid‘s match as well. i will have more sport for you in the next hour, we will see you soon. thank you very much. back now to our main story this lunchtime. there has been widespread condemnation of president trump after he shared videos by the far right group britain first. there are also calls for his state visit to britain to be cancelled. last night he rebuked theresa may online after she criticised for sharing the videos. theresa may has been speaking in jordan following her meeting with king abdullah. she was asked for her reaction

to donald trump‘s criticism of her. i‘ve made my position clear on the tweets that i have seen from president trump, but let me be clear about the relationship between the united kingdom and the united states. this is a long—term special relationship that we have. it‘s an enduring relationship that is there because it is in both of our national interests that relationship to be there. and as prime minister, iam clear to be there. and as prime minister, i am clear that that relationship with the united states should continue. i think it in the interests both of the united kingdom and the united states, and of the wider world. who else do we have, lynne? thank you, prime minister. is donald trump, should he still be having a state visit, should that be allowed to go ahead? an invitation

for a state visit has been extended, and has been accepted. we have yet to set a date. who else did i see? various hands up. jason farrell, sky news. what's your response to donald trump saying that you're not doing enough to handle terrorism at home? i think i've already spoken about what we‘re doing to deal with terrorism, and of course, as i‘ve said, we take the need to deal with the terrorist threat very seriously. that‘s about what we do domestically in the united kingdom. it‘s also about what we do elsewhere in the world such as the work i saw yesterday in iraq, the work i saw yesterday in iraq, the works united kingdom has been doing with the united states and others dealing with this terrorist threat, and of course i was seeing yesterday and talking about the

success yesterday and talking about the success of the iraqi security forces, the military success they have been having in relation to dash, and the work that they‘ve done in driving daesh out of its so—called caliphate. but we need to address the terrorist threat from whatever source it comes, yes we have to deal with the islamist terrorist threat, and we also have to deal with the fact that we have seen attacks in the united kingdom from the far right as well. so we ta ke from the far right as well. so we take seriously and deal with terrorism and extremism from whatever its source. kate. kate mccann from the telegraph. prime minister, would you sack one of your owi'i minister, would you sack one of your own cabinet ministers if they retweeting right—wing propaganda like britain first? i have absolute confidence that my cabinet ministers would not be retweeting material from britain first. isjohn here? yes. john stevens from the daily

mail. how did you feel personally la st mail. how did you feel personally last night when you saw donald trump's tweet criticising you? look, first of all, i‘ve been clear about my position on donald trump‘s tweets. i have to say, just for the avoidance of doubt, i am not a prolific twitter myself, so i don‘t spend all my time looking at other people‘s tweets, but when i feel that there should be a response, i give it, and i have given it. was peter here from the guardian? peter walker from the guardian newspaper. separate to these tweets, in general, do you think the us president is a supporter and enabler of far right groups?|j president is a supporter and enabler of far right groups? i think that we must all take seriously the threat far right groups pose, both in terms of the terrorist threat that is posed by those groups and the necessity of dealing with extremist material which is far right as well. i‘ve commented in the past on issues

in the united states on this matter. in the united kingdom we take the far right very seriously, and that‘s why we ensure that we deal with these threats and this extremism where ever it comes and whatever its source. the prime minister speaking a short time ago. more skilled workers with on—the—job training will revolutionise uk growth and productivity according to the government. the education secretary justine greening is hosting a skills summit with business leaders, outlining plans to improve technical education. adina campbell reports. a tour of one of the uk‘s biggest building projects. as well as taking a closer look at what will soon become london‘s super sewer, the education secretary is setting out the government‘s plans for a new generation of skilled workers. what‘s in it for young people are great opportunities and skilling themselves up. what‘s in it for business are the skills that they need, and for far too long have business are the skills that they need, and forfar too long have not been able to find. today's skills

summit is calling on businesses and industry experts to improve their training programmes. with the introduction of new technical qualifications called t—levels, away to revolutionise technical training. this is the valuable experience that really matters. but there has been a big fall in the number of people starting apprenticeships in england since the government introduced a levy earlier this year. and ministers are keen to get more young people on board. you can't teach people on board. you can't teach people particular skills at school. it doesn‘t equate. you need to do it on—site. it doesn‘t equate. you need to do it on-site. i always wanted to be in construction, so i thought, why don't i work and study at the same time? the government's target for

apprenticeships as 3 million by 2020, which it says will create a skills revolution. adina campbell, beauty news. the northern ireland border remains one of the major sticking points in the brexit talks. the irish government says it won‘t allow brexit negotiations to move on to trade unless it‘s given guarantees that there won‘t be what‘s called a hard border. well, the south armagh community spent 30 years living life under the scrutiny of the security forces. the irish border between newry and dundalk was also one of the most active territories for the ira. tara mills has been to south armagh to look at security in the past, present and post—brexit. it was the most heavily policed area of the border, checkpoints, watchtowers, death and destruction. in1979, watchtowers, death and destruction. in 1979, the ira killed 18 soldiers at narrow water castle. this former detective reinvestigated the attack towards the end of his career. they went down as the army were shooting

at them, and they ran, got onto their bikes, and that they were back up their bikes, and that they were back up on their bikes. to him, talking about policing the border is nonsense. the border here struggles, s0 nonsense. the border here struggles, so many different ways in and out. so you set up your checkpoints from main traffic, and those who want to go any different routes, they can do that, and it is impossible to police. this primary school used to be sandwiched between the main border watchtower and a newly bill tarmey barracks. they even had a checkpoint outside the front door. annie attended the schooljury the troubles, and is now a teacher in the new building. it wasjust normal for us, we woke up at night, the helicopters woke us up, and we went to sleep. there were army in the field while we were at school. they

we re field while we were at school. they were tough times. they were tough times when i was at school, and we couldn‘t go back to that now. we deserve what we have the moment, the freedom that we have at the moment. irememberonce freedom that we have at the moment. i remember once for example coming in one morning, and everyone thought the classroom might be blown up, because a bomb had been sent on a ru nway because a bomb had been sent on a runway truck down the line did it had exploded outside the base. borderfarmers are had exploded outside the base. border farmers are among the key businesses facing uncertainty. even those who voted leave don‘t want to see new checkpoints. we all remember what it was like. it felt like really crossing at that time the berlin wall, with checkpoints and queues, s0 berlin wall, with checkpoints and queues, so nobody wants to get back to that. it is a problem, but nobody wa nts to to that. it is a problem, but nobody wants to get back to that hard border scenario. this is typical of many roads along the border. the only visible sign between north and south, a change in the road markings. the landscape here has

been completely transformed, and this community wants it to stay that way. tara mills, bbc news, south armagh. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour. but first the headlines on bbc news: downing street has stressed the importance of the special relationship with america , after president trump hit back at her criticism of him for re—tweeting videos posted by a british far—right group net migration into the uk sees its biggest fall on record , down by nearly a third , as eu citizens chose not to come here and the northern ireland secretary tells the bbc that the government recognises the final brexit deal has to recognise the unique challenges posed by the irish border. hello, i‘m rachel horne. in the business news: google is accused of collecting the personal data of millions of users, in the first mass legal action of its kind in the uk. it focuses on allegations that google unlawfully harvested

information from 5.4 million uk users by bypassing privacy settings on their iphones. there‘s more on that story on our website. did you start your day with a bowl of coco pops? well, by the middle of next year three of the uk‘s best know breakfast cereals will have up to 40% less sugar. cereal maker kellogg‘s is to cut the amount in its three top selling children‘s cereals coco pops, rice krispies, and rice krispies multi—grain shapes. it comes amid pressure on food firms to cut sugar levels to combat obesity. and consumer confidence has fallen to its lowest since just after last year‘s brexit vote. business morale is also down . that‘s according to a closely watched gauge called the gfk consumer confidence index. they say the recent interest rate hike, squeezed incomes, higher inflation and economic uncertainty have dampened the mood across the uk. leaving education when the economy is weak has a long lasting effect on young people‘s employment and pay. that‘s according to the latest

report from the institute for fiscal studies. they say wages and jobs can be affected for at least five years and that impact can continue even once the wider economy has returned to normal. let‘s talk to andrew wood, senior research economist from the institute for fiscal studies. thank you forjoining us. what were you looking at in the survey? the key question we were trying to get at is, is it the case that not only leaving education in a recession means you are worse off leaving education in a recession means you are worse off then, but there are persistent effects? so even when the economy returns to normal, if you were unlucky enough to have started looking for a job in the middle of a recession, your earnings and likelihood of being implied are still low as a result five or ten years later. so what advice would you give to young people who are about to leave education in a recession? should they stay on? because of the many that would increase their debt levels. you are right, the one

response would be to stay on in education to avoid exiting into a relatively weak economy. although the bad news is it doesn‘t look like the bad news is it doesn‘t look like the economy is going to strengthen any time soon. i guess one of the key findings from the research is that if you live with your parents asa that if you live with your parents as a young adult, and your parents are willing to share the income they have with you, then that can provide a very important safety net against the potential effect on earnings and pgy- the potential effect on earnings and pay. so even though my pay is lower, my living standards might not be super affected if i live with my pa rent super affected if i live with my parent who earns more than i do and they share income with me. so once they share income with me. so once the economy has returned to normal, if young people feel that they are still suffering from the fact that they entered the workplace during a recession, what can they do to try and rectify that situation? it is obviously always a challenge to increase your earnings, but i guess the answer would be to look for opportunities in terms of training 01’ opportunities in terms of training or promotion that would lead you towards higher paid work. andrew hodd, thank you for your time.

in other business news: morrisons is recalling its "traditional chicken and mushroom pie" because a small number of packs contain fish pie. the food standards agency says these pies are now a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard and/or fish and should be returned to the store. shares in daily mail publisher dmgt have sunk 22% to hit a near five—year low, after it warned of a tough year ahead. it came after full—year profit at the firm, which also publishes the metro free paper, dropped 13% to £226 million. and disney has picked chinese actor liu yifei to play mulan in an upcoming film, following accusations against hollywood of "whitewashing". several hollywood films have faced criticism in recent months for featuring white actors in asian roles. before we go, let‘s have a look and see how the markets have been getting on. if you were watching yesterday, you would remember that sterling was an eight real rally

after a possible brexit divorce breakthrough. a lot of speculation today that it could hit $1 35, and as always, that means the ftse 100 as always, that means the ftse100 is down, because so many of those companies earn their profits abroad, s0 companies earn their profits abroad, so if sterling strong it reduces the value of their profits, and we have put up the brent crude price because there is a very import and 0pec meeting, or a0 members there is a very import and 0pec meeting, or40 members are there is a very import and 0pec meeting, or a0 members are meeting. they have a cat supply until march 2018, and there is speculation they could extend that cap to try to boost the oil price, as you can see the prices up almost 1.5% at $6a a barrel. i will be back with more business news throughout the afternoon, sophie. thank you. the government‘s setting out plans to get one million more disabled people in work over the next ten years. ministers say that the new strategy will help those with disabilities get work and stay in a job. here‘s our disability affairs correspondent, nikki fox. left edge, 5 feet away.

hr consultant hannah is testing face—recognition gadgets which could help her at work. she lost her sight five years ago and is now registered blind. during that time, she found it hard to get a job. i left uni with a first—class degree in law and i've been turned down from kind of basic admin roles when i had quite significant experience and that sort of thing. some of them, i might not have got the job anyway. some of them, it was quite clear from the questions they are asking, it was because of my disability. the employment gap between disabled and non—disabled people hasn‘t significantly changed for some years despite a pledge back in 2015 to halve it. today, the government has published a plan that aims to see one million more disabled people in work over the next 10 years. this programme, but it is one that we wa nt this programme, but it is one that we want to deliver, and we want to

increase opportunities for disabled people and people with health conditions who at the moment don‘t get the chances that they need. it's karaoke afternoon here at this specialist centre for people with learning disabilities. ben is on a placement at a hotel which he hopes will lead to paid work. you want a a posh hotel? but with only around 6% of people with learning disabilities in employment, despite his energy and enthusiasm, the odds are against him. the scale of the problem is huge, the policy change will take awhile to kick in. attitudes need to change. so if we are ever going to make it that any ambition, then we need to start acting quickly. today‘s announcement also includes measures to provide access

to personalised support for those with mental health issues and an increase in the variety of health care professionals who are able to issue fitness—to—work notices there are concerns that it won‘t help those with the strongest difficulties. we have had some excitement in london when a few fla kes fell, excitement in london when a few flakes fell, but there has been proper snow elsewhere. yes, london ground to halt for about three and a half minutes! but some people have been waking up to scenes like this, and snow fell right down to sea level, so we have been seeing pictures of snow actually almost touching the water right down where the sand is, so some really chilly aircoming infrom the sand is, so some really chilly air coming in from the north. anywhere from northern and eastern scotla nd anywhere from northern and eastern scotland from the highlands down towards the north—east of england, so towards the north—east of england, so let‘s have a look at 6pm first.

again around the highlands you can see a few flakes of snow here for sure, temperatures around freezing, orjust above, sure, temperatures around freezing, or just above, so sure, temperatures around freezing, orjust above, so more than cold enough for some snow. a bit of sleet mixed in around lincolnshire, and we have got a mixture of rain, sleet and snow, and the same goes across east anglia. some of those snow flurries are moving into south—eastern areas of the uk as well, and that is exactly what has been happening in the last few hours orso, been happening in the last few hours or so, hence we had that flurry early on in london, but no big deal here in london, i know other areas have seen a lot more, more of a news story. a risk of ice tonight, and into tomorrow, that snow will re —freeze into tomorrow, that snow will re—freeze and then tomorrow morning, thaticy re—freeze and then tomorrow morning, that icy risk, so i‘m just flagging that icy risk, so i‘m just flagging that up if you are travelling first thing in the morning. —a i to the countryside typical values, it could be colder than that. tomorrow for a

time there is a risk of maybe some sleet and snow showers in the south—east and lincolnshire, east anglia, but for many of us it is going to be dry and bright, still cold, but notice here we have got a little bit more cloud, some showers coming in, this is a hint of things to come because this high pressure with the wind blowing around, and it is always the same in the northern hemisphere, the winds blow around the high pressure, so the wind will bring the warm air back into the uk and push the cold away towards the east, so we will have more of a westerly, and temperatures will creep up over the weekend, but that also means that there is going to be also means that there is going to be afair bit also means that there is going to be a fair bit of cloud around across the uk, with some drizzle as well, so the uk, with some drizzle as well, so you would think it is going to be a lot milder with those temperatures up a lot milder with those temperatures up to 10 degrees, but if you think about it, lack of sunshine, thick cloud, a few days of cold air and that cold frozen ground, it is going to feel cold still, so i won‘t say it is going to be milder, it will

just be a little less cold. hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m simon mccoy. today at 2pm: we dont‘t want him here. donald trump‘s state visit to britain is called into question in the commons, after his twitter row with theresa may. the fact that we work together does not mean that we‘re afraid to say when we think the united states have got it wrong. and to be very clear with them. and i‘m very clear that re—tweeting from britain first was the wrong thing to do. i'm chris paige live on a farm in county fermanagh. the irish border has become the biggest issue in the brexit negotiations ahead of a critical eu summit next month, we have a day of special reports here on bbc news. also coming up, all the sport. big sam is the focus. sam
