we have to keep an eye on this area of low pressure as it butchers across, giving problems in france, spain, and portugal. we also at the risk of ice. icy conditions for the monday morning commute. there could be the main issue for many of you as you start the day as well as that widespread sharp frost. we could still see some snow at times through the day as that weather system gets close to east anglia and the saudis. most will have a sunny day. some showers to the north and west. through the afternoon, a mixture of rain and snow giving a covering on the hills, east anglia and the south—east could see deal for as winds. that will be one to watch through the day. dry, sunny, but still cold. showers across cornwall and the far south—west of wales. it will be wintry over the hills. that could cause some issues. and a mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow and snow flurries in northern scotland. as we finish monday going into monday night, some of the showers will continue. inland, it will become and beauty cold indeed.
6:32 pm
in fact, the coldest night of the week where snow is on the ground we will see temperatures in parts of england, wales and scotland may be as low as —12 celsius, even —14 celsius. a foggy start to choose it. one or two showers. most places will have a dry and sunny day before cloud, rain and cold air pushes and from the west later. hello. this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines at 18.32. the headlines. the uk is facing more heavy snowfalls, with an amber weather warning issued in many parts of the country. disgraced celebrity publicist max clifford has died in hospital at the age of 7a. he had been serving an eight—year sentence for historical sex offences. he collapsed in prison yesterday. the british foreign secretary has left iran without any agreement on the release of the british—iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe.

6:34 pm
the spoils on derby day. klopp fumes as rooney strikes to share the points on merseyside. and there's no splitting ronnie or shaun murphy in the final at the uk championship. welcome, manchester city continued their seemingly relentless progress towards the title. there was a feeling that if manchester united could not stop them, who did. they won 2—1 underlining their dominance so far this season. tim hague reports. the roar of the crowd. and second time to first, mourinho against pep guardiola, manchester versus against pep guardiola, manchester versus manchester. everything in place, could the spectacle live up to the actual? there might have been
6:35 pm
an early penalty but most of the action was taking place away from the penalty area. there was even time for a catch up, city's domination and possession rewarded just before half—time, not the person would expect a pop—up with a set piece but david silva scored. what happened next will have left pep guardiola furious, otamendi and fabian delph failing to deal with the ball, rashford with no such problems. but one of the men who let united back into the match cut them out again, otamendi's eventful afternoon continuing. more for the leaders, de gea great once more, yet his opposite number equally impressive, manchester united's best chances saved in quick succession by edison. it helped his side get a 14th straight premier win to extend their lead to ii 14th straight premier win to extend their lead to 11 points. if this was manchester versus manchester there's
6:36 pm
only one team in this city tonight. tim hague, bbc news. we will see how that leaves the table in a moment. it has been a day of derbies today. jurgen klopp incensed after penalty was awarded to everton which saw them earn a 1—1 draw in the merseyside derby. the weather may have been freezing but this fixture is always enough to get pulses racing. everton were on the ropes from the start. and just before half—time, mohamed salah got the goal liverpool deserved. commentator: it's absolutely magnificent! martina outmuscled, and gay out—hustled for a superb strike on his derby debut. things were starting to heat up and it almost got worse everton before the break. at least it would have, had sadio mane not gone for glory when others were better placed. liverpool would regret that miss when a rare everton attack gave them a late lifeline.
6:37 pm
when dejan lovren opted for a shove on dominic calvert lewin the referee incensed at anfield. as the reds raged around him, rooney calmly put the ball on the spot. almost 13 years since his last appearance in a merseyside derby rooney revelled in his role of party pooper, so everton salvaged a point and big sam left with a smile, unlike a protesting liverpool. everyone says it was a penalty, these challenges in midfield, it was not once a foul, williams did it 50 times against dominic solanke. body contact, nothing else, they go to the ground, there's a penalty.
6:38 pm
we can't change it, our self—criticism is really, we are quite good at that! but it feels unfair, to be honest. but that's life, that's football and we will carry on. a tremendous defensive application to the game today. waiting for an opportunity that wayne rooney produced, the sort of pass that would expose the liverpool defence. i don't think anyone can argue with the penalty that lovren pushed him over and craig pawson had a big decision to make and made the right decision, wayne put it away and after that, defended the last ten minutes or so extremely well, as we did all the game. everton benefiting from improved performances since the appointment of their manager. arsenal are back up to fifth in the premier league this evening as they salvaged a point from their match with southampton. charlie austin opened the scoring with just three minutes on the clock.
6:39 pm
and while arsenal had plenty of chances to equalise, they had to wait until the 88th minute when substitute olivier giroud came to their rescue. let's hear from southampton‘s manager mauricio pellegrino. we did not control the ball too much, i think we controlled the game and this is something different. we knew we had to redo space because they had quality in these areas and we protect them well. we competed well, and we have another opportunity to play on wednesday. we were really close to winning three points today. this is how the table looks tonight, city 11 points clear of second placed manchester united. they also have set any record of league matches won consecutively in a single season. it says something one fifth placed arsenal are now closer to the relegation places than they are the league leaders. scottish champions celtic nearly
6:40 pm
had their i8—month unbeaten run in domestic football ended by hibernian. it finished 2—2 at easter road, but neil lennon's hibs came so close to snatching it late on. it almost snatched the game later. take on celtic and scotland and it is best to block out the noise, the stats said they are invincible and the hibs to think them they'd have to do it the hard way, celtic waited for the second half to break through but 11 comes more often follow. minutes later sinclair had another, 2-0 minutes later sinclair had another, 2—0 usually means game over. if the hibs challenge was to come perhaps they would look to insider knowledge, ambrose, like his manager, has celtic history. his goal turned the tide and three minutes later lee shore put hibs level. a christmas treat on easter road. but know they sensed a piece
6:41 pm
of history themselves, stoppage time and a second chance for shaw but the champions were saved with a last ditch lunch, the unbeaten tally taken to 68 but this was one of celtic's lucky escapes. lucky indeed. in rugby union's european champions cup, wasps were well beaten in a high scoring game away at la rochelle. the french side top their group, and scored six tries in this match, including two from levani botia as they won 49—29. wasps though did manage to score five tries of their own, to take an extra bonus point. the other game in that group was affected by the weather but still went ahead, ulster beating harlequins 17—5. saracens' match against clermont auvergne postponed. confirmation of those results, the final game of the week and hasjust began between english champions exeter, who are hosting three—time winners leinster.
6:42 pm
it's currently 8—3 to leinster early on in the second half. ronnie o'sullivan and shaun murphy are tied at four frames all in the final of the uk snooker championship in york. the evening session resumes at seven o clock tonight. hazel irvine, jon parrot and steve davis have been watching at the barbican. the halfway mark in this year's betware united kingdom championship and we have two exceptional performers, ronnie o'sullivan and shaun murphy, and it is neck and neck. can you sum up how much quality we've seen in the opening session today, john? brilliant. the first four frames were wonderful scoring and break building, more tactical in the second yet brilliant match play snooker to watch. ebbing and flowing in the afternoon, 4—2 ahead, it was going with o'sullivan that murphy
6:43 pm
showed great guts to come back. brilliant. what did you detect about ronnie in those last frames, steve ? he was desperate to get a lead, it didn't materialise so a bit of frustration. shaun murphy is such a great character to level the scores. they have both played marvellous shots, great shot makers, great tactics and luck involved, perhaps what will separate them might be a little bit of run of the ball this evening because it looks like they're both scoring very well. ronnie is after a davis—equalling sixth uk title but also after an incredible record equalling 18th major title which would put him among the all—time greats. he is already among them, i know what you mean about the figures, he says he isn't bothered, but he is! we'll be looking at this one at seven on bbc two, i hope you join us for that. it will be a fascinating evening session to come. cricketer ben duckett‘s been suspended for the remainder of the england lions tour of australia following
6:44 pm
an ecb investigation into an incident in a perth bar. he will remain with the team for the three t20 matches the squad will play, but has been issued with a final written warning over his behaviour. he poured a drink over the head of bowlerjames anderson on thursday and was due to open the batting in a warm match for england ahead of the third ashes test. in his absence, tom curran boosted his chances of a place in the england test team for the third match of the series on thursday with five wickets. he also scored an unbeaten 77 with the bat. captain moeen ali didn't bowl but did find a bit of form with the bat as well, scoring a second—innings a7. the match finishing in a draw against a cricket australia xi. great britain have topped the medal table at the european cross country championships in slovakia. andrew butchart won bronze and led the gb senior men to a bronze medal in the team standings. britain's senior women struck gold in the team event. charlotte taylor was the first athlete home in sixth place. the cheltenham gold cup winner sizing john made a successful

6:46 pm
kermode. what have you been watching, mark? we have stronger, which is a film about the boston bombing survivorjeff bowman. human flow, a very affecting documentary by ai weiwei. and the dinner. steve coogan and richard gere together at last! we can discuss that. stronger, i mean, people will remember so vividly the boston marathon bombing and this is very much about the aftermath. so jake gyllenhaal as jeff bowman, who was a young bostonian who was there at the finishing line and was involved in the blast and lost both his legs. and then having survived the bombing, then had to rebuild his life both physically and indeed, mentally. and deal with the fact he'd suddenly become right at the centre of the spotlight, which saw him in many ways as the embodiment of the boston strong mantra. here's a clip. when you're ready,
6:47 pm
scooch ahead before you stand up. yeah. 0k. ok, scooch ahead. up, hips back. chest up. chest up, chest up. good, good, ok? good. it's a little sore. it's like needles on my legs. you look awesome. good job, jeff. it looks amazing. keep going. i can't, i can't. i've got to sit down.
6:48 pm
good job, good job. now the story's extraordinarily, not least because when he wakes up in hospital the first thing he does is say, i saw the bombers. he wants to pass on that information. but what the film is really, really interested in is the way in which his struggle to recover works. and also his relationships with his originally on— off girlfriend and his mother and his family. you saw miranda richardson as his mother, who is really, really terrific. and i think what's central to it is the film doesn't play him as a hero, it plays him as somebody who is in a position, you know, which they had nothing to do with. and suddenly find themselves in the centre of this great personal struggle and suddenly find themselves the centre of all this media attention. and is you know, on the one hand doing this very, very heroic thing, but on the other hand finding it very hard to cope with that attention. what i like about the film is that it doesn't try and paint two—dimensional pictures. he has fractious relationships with his family, with his girlfriend, he goes through different phases. i think what happens with the movie is it involves you in the story in a way
6:49 pm
that you genuinely believe that what you're seeing is a realistic portrayal. it's not exploitative, it's not melodramatic. i think it's based on a book he wrote. absolutely. the details are true. we've seen enough hollywood movies which are doing triumph over adversity, but do so in a way that is kind of saccharine and very sentimental and relies very heavily on sentimentality and melodrama. i found this very moving. there are moments that make you cry, moments that make you laugh. the most important thing was it seemed honest, it seemed truthful. it was done in a way that is low—key enough to never feel like what it was doing was exploiting the situation at all. i was surprisingly moved by it. it doesn't change the format of film, it doesn't do anything major to the structure, the kind of story we've seen before. but it plays it well and plays it in a heartfelt way. it feels like an honest endeavour that was moving and affecting. the ai weiwei film, your second choice. human flow.
6:50 pm
sadly i haven't seen it yet. i can only assume that it is unbelievably, unbearably moving. it is very moving. ai weiwei is a conceptual artist, this is about the current refugee crisis and the humanitarian disaster unfolding around the world. it's a portrait of global displacement, different people forced to move from their homes for horrific reasons. shot in 25 countries. 20 countries, 25 film crews. some of the footage is hand—held. some of it, these extraordinary aerial shots, drone shots, of huge numbers of people moving through incredibly hostile terrain of refugee camps. we do get interviews, we do get discussions, but the most affecting stuff is this sort of image of humanity on the move, and the persistence of barriers and borders and boundaries and people rather than receiving a welcome, facing a wall.
