first half opener. liverpool managerjurgen klopp was not impressed by the penalty decision. it is not important what i think. i realise it already. can i put words in your mouth, you don't think it was a penalty? right. we could not create 500 chances. it was an intense game from our side. my boys did everything to win the game. now it feels really, really average. it isa it is a penalty. he probably thinks it isn't. if you put somebody in the box, we have got our player goal side in possession of the ball, going to the goal to try to score, so going to the goal to try to score, so if he is not going to be touched is not going to go over. if he is going to be touched and loses his balance and the referee gives his right decision. like i said, it was

an extremely brave decision. and in the other premier league game on sunday, arsenal drew 1—1 at southampton. charlie austin puts the saints ahead in the third minute. olivier giroud rescued a point for arsenal late on. the result moves arsenal up to fifth. we paid a heavy price for a slow start. overall, we kept going and it was a game of high intensity where the two teams went for it. in the second half it was all asked. they defended very well in a very disciplined way. overall, it was difficult to find an opening. so let's see how the top of the table looks. manchester city now have an 11 point lead over second placed united. chelsea are 14 points off the pace, following that shock defeat to west ham on saturday. liverpool's draw with everton, sees them lose ground on city. same is true really of arsenal, who're now 17 points behind the leaders, after dropping points at southampton. in the spanish primera division, barcelona remain top after a 2—0 win at villarreal in the late kick off. atletico madrid won 1—0 at real betis to overtake real madrid in third.

it was a cold and a wintry weekend, some places seeing the most snowfall we have had in four years. we've had lots of scenes coming in from our weather watchers. this one taken in leicestershire showing the depth of the snow there. scenes like that across many central parts the country — this one coming in from shropshire. in terms of snow depths, we have had 33 centimetres of snow, sennybridge in mid wales. widely over ten centimetres. it has caused significant disruption. and during monday morning, ice, i think, is going to be the main hazard. but during the day our attention also turns to this area of low pressure affecting portugal, spain and france, and the northern edge of that could well bring some heavy rain and strong winds

into the south—east of england, perhaps a bit of snow and also sleet mixed in. but ice developing quite widely during monday morning, so for the rush hour do take care on the roads — there could well be some slippery surfaces around. let's take a look at monday morning in a bit more detail then. we are going to see that mix of rain, sleet and snow across the south—east. the winds picking up, too. but away from the south—east of england there is brighter conditions, but a very cold start to the day, certainly, with temperatures well down in the minus double—digits in one or two parts of the countryside. sunshine across northern england. watch out for some icy stretches. and across northern ireland and scotland too, we'll see a northerly breeze bringing in some snow showers through the day. as we head through monday then, eventually that rain, sleet and snow will ease from the south—east. the winds will ease, too. away from the south—east, lots of dry weather, lots of wintry sunshine, though temperatures will struggle to get very much above freezing. we will continue to see some rain, sleet and snow showers across northern ireland and northern parts of scotland. overnight, one or two coastal showers in the far north, west and east.

the bulk of the rain clears from the south—east and again, very cold into the early hours of tuesday morning. we could see those temperatures as low as —12 degrees, particularly where you have got the lying snow around and the clear skies too. some freezing fog patches likely on tuesday. they could be quite stubborn to clear through the day. but if you don't see the fog, you will see the wintry sunshine from the word go. another cold day, particularly, for central and eastern parts of the country, just one or two degrees here. slightly milder weather moving in from the west with the arrival of some cloud and some rain. that is all courtesy of this weather front through tuesday night into wednesday. that shifts its way eastwards across the country, so it will bring a spell of rain and wind during wednesday, but things will turn a little bit milder through the middle part of the week with the return to some heavy showers and perhaps some hail around as well, but temperatures around 3—11 degrees. bye for now. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones.
