the daily telegraph says rail passengers are being denied was a "national atrocity" with warnings being ignored. the times picks a report coming out tomorrow, urging the government to toughen rules on social media groups that fail to stop online abuse. and finally the daily mail reports that a former facebook boss has said the company is ‘ripping society apart‘. sta rt start with the daily mirror, a p pa re ntly start with the daily mirror, apparently it will be colder than moscow overnight. that's pretty cold. that is really cold, and i grew up in cumbria, and i didn't even get down to those temperatures when i was young. —15, that's freezing, we've already seen the chaos caused over the last 2a hours because of the snowfall. tomorrow morning will be a really difficult morning will be a really difficult morning for drivers, they will have

very icy roads and i expect you will have school closures as well for another day. i know, i know. i know i sound like an old soul and so when i say this but she was brought up in cumbria, i was brought up in bolton, at the top of the pennines, i don't remembera single at the top of the pennines, i don't remember a single day when our school was closed. our old grammar school in oldham. i know times have changed, health and safety rules the world, kids are understandably scared of slipping. in our day, you slipped and fell, tough bananas. and we all got by. i was slightly snowbound at the weekend, a wonderful party in oxfordshire and i couldn't help thinking, we have had two or three days of this and still motorways closed, trains don't run. i know it's not the easiestjob in the world, and i'm sure many did their level best to keep the country running but you do think, why does

this not happen in poland, in norway, in scandinavia? they spend a lot more on gritters and are a bit more in control, frankly. the front page of the telegraph, it talks about slow keeping schools shut for second days as teachers are told not to travel. that's part of the problem, teachers can't get in. they don't always necessarily live near the schools, its rate you would have all the teachers live in one town one village. it might notjust be that it's cold, you cannot get staff into the school. that seems like a pretty reasonable reason why you would have to close a school down. but parents, it's really difficult because lots of them might have to because lots of them might have to be slipping in a day ‘s holidayjust before the christmas holiday so they can look after their children. it's a tricky one. we are going to go to the telegraph. dosages denied cheap christmas rail tickets. if we are going to get stuff over when it comes to the cost of travel, it will

be christmas time. a 496 increase coming in after christmas for all rail journeys. they have coming in after christmas for all railjourneys. they have increased dramatically the last couple of years, we know that. the prices are steep, they have gone up dramatically in the last few years or so dramatically in the last few years or so it seems, a very interesting report by a government watchdog committee, the official watchdog committee, the official watchdog committee, saying rail passengers are being denied the chance to buy cheap tickets for the christmas break by train companies that routinely mislead them. one of the things they allege is that they did not make all the advance tickets available, did not make public the fa ct available, did not make public the fact these advance tickets were available, which are cheaper. but also they were selling tickets for trains that could not make the journey they were supposed to make. a couple of examples quoted, a great western railway ticket being on sale in early october direct london paddington services running on december the 27th, well, that can't

happen on december27, december the 27th, well, that can't happen on december 27, paddington is shut. actually selling tickets for journeys that they could not possibly make, at least not without changing, ortaking possibly make, at least not without changing, or taking buses possibly make, at least not without changing, ortaking buses as possibly make, at least not without changing, or taking buses as well. the rail companies, the six big ones. . . the rail companies, the six big ones... network rail always the bogeyman, always. it is always blamed. they have some huge engineering works happening over christmas holidays, so £160 million worth of engineering works going on over the christmas holidays around london and manchester. that will affect so many people. all of this will feed well into what the government is pushing for, which is to switch network rail and the train companies together. to bring track and train together. the first phase this will be rolled out as the east coast main line, who knows in the future whether that will improve things? the reason people are being

misled, is that network rail did not tell them, the rail companies, misled, is that network rail did not tellthem, the rail companies, about their final plans. therefore they sold these tickets hoping the works would be completed when they were indeed. there's always someone else to blame. front page of the times, and executing web giants for abuse, mae urges, treating social media giants as publishers. this has come up giants as publishers. this has come up before. we have crossbench peers compiling this report, which will be delivered to the government tomorrow. he says you need to treat facebook and all the big social media giants as publishers, which means so media giants as publishers, which means so far, some would say they have got out of various responsibilities because they describe themselves as platforms. if you are a publisher, it means you end up having all sorts of responsibilities. like us. exactly. this obviously is a good step

forward but i think what is next is what kind of sanctions you will see on these companies. and how do them do it? how do you make them efficient, to make sure every inappropriate message... these companies are having to hire thousands of staff to cope with their obligations already so if the government were to take this forward and actually make them come publishers, they would have a vast amount of scrutiny on what was being put on their websites all the time. they can afford it. most of them. this is just the start of this, i the home affairs select committee is also looking into this, and might be taking some evidence from some of these big social media companies in these big social media companies in the next week. for christmas i think we will see a lot of this in parliament. plastics aid, front page of the times. a suggestion that michael gove is going to push for more of britain's overseas aid budget. more of that should be spent

trying to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans after a study found 90% of the waste came from ten rivers in asia. this will strike a chord with people watching blue planet. and the daily mail has had a big campaign on this. it really is horrifying to see what this does to see life. arguably, it is a good cause. see life. arguably, it is a good cause. yeah, i think it's a great idea. you don't think about the cycling really happening in other parts of the world, you only know about what you do yourself. —— recycling. the idea you would start encouraging other countries as part ofan aid encouraging other countries as part of an aid investment, and aid payments, would actually be quite effective probably. it might assuage some critics of foreign aid as well. if you can make it clear that foreign aid is useful in a particular way. sad news, front page of the daily mail, keith chegwin.

died at the age of 60. you knew him. i was died at the age of 60. you knew him. iwasa died at the age of 60. you knew him. i was a gmtv, the breakfast station, 20 years. cheggers was at least a decade, used to be the morning competitions. i don't know anyone else could have brought those competitions to life in the same way he did. he was such a barrel of laughs, bright ideas and cheerful. really a warm, generous guy, born on television. when that red light on helix up. he came in every day with some terrific ideas. —— when that red light came on, he lit up. he used to surprise people on the doorstep, they would come down, teeth not in, still on their nightwear, he would always have such fun and never in a demeaning or patronising way. he knew where they came from and he knew where he came from t. really good guide, sad. do you remember him? not a great deal,

i'm aware of him but don't remember. you listen to radio four. laughter now, she was too young! that's what you should have said. you a united fan ora you should have said. you a united fan or a city fan, come on, which is it? come on... i even come dressed for the occasion. speaking of the big game... milk eight. back page of the guardian. apparently there was a fracas, mr mourinho believed the city players were too exuberant in their celebrations of that famous victory on saturday. apparently cartons of milk were thrown. that's what was suggested. apparently he thought the noise from the dressing room is not respectful, and had an altercation with our goalkeeper, talking in portuguese. then one of the city assistant coaches, who played for arsenal, received a cut over the eye. it seems to me a bit

ofa over the eye. it seems to me a bit of a fuss over not much frankly. you and i, we saw what happened after the game, mr mourinho who i believe is becoming the donald trump of soccer, a narcissist, actually a producer of fake news. whenever things go badly, what was he saying? we we re things go badly, what was he saying? we were lucky. come on, that is beyond parody to say manchester city we re beyond parody to say manchester city were lucky in that game. then he has to complain about cities celebrating? someone tweeted a wonderful picture of mourinho celebrating like this on his knees, and he complains about celebrating? kate, kate, what have you got to say about all this?! it sounds absolutely ridiculous. about all this?! it sounds absolutely ridiculouslj about all this?! it sounds absolutely ridiculous. i am being told my earpiece apparently mourinho did the same thing last season chelsea trounced united. he does not like a celebration. are you a chelsea fan, yes, he's a chelsea fan? but it does look as if the

title might be heading... i'm not saying, we are too long in the tooth. very true. no more football. 0k, tooth. very true. no more football. ok, i have let you had your time. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you kate proctor and john stapleton. goodbye. we are already into what i suspect for many of you is going to turn out to be the coldest night of the week. after a day that will force some have brought a bit of a top up on the snow from, not the sort we saw through the course of the weekend, andi

through the course of the weekend, and i have but that particular picture in notjust because it's really rather lovely but because it isa really rather lovely but because it is a way for me to tell you that ice will be a widespread problem during the course of the night. if you still have lying snow, that's too could cause some issues. where you see that great sweep of baby blue, thatis see that great sweep of baby blue, that is the extent of the frost as we expect it through the night. that the temperature in towns and cities. -50 the temperature in towns and cities. —50 minus six degrees. certainly when you have lying snow you could easily, and i don'tjust mean in the heart of scotland, get down around -10, heart of scotland, get down around —10, maybe even minus 12. that's not the full extent of the problem. we will still have rattling showers on the eastern shores, which could exacerbate the ice problem. could be even more snow over the higher ground, perhaps and the north yorkshire moors seeing another centimetre of snow. the chance of stepping out into —7 minus eight degrees even in them conurbations in the heart of the midlands. further

north, maybe not just the heart of the midlands. further north, maybe notjust as cold across scotla nd north, maybe notjust as cold across scotland but ice still a problem, particularly across northern and eastern parts. 0nce particularly across northern and eastern parts. once the date gets going, any mist and fog has cleared away, it will be a decent day. much brighter than monday, until a new set of weather fronts is brought in. something a bit milder creeping into these western extremities. all associated with that weather front which gradually through the course of the mind pushes its way at the further towards the east. bringing with it the correct across high ground of transient snow, then a blustery regime with lots of showers. also hail from blustery regime with lots of showers. also hailfrom the blustery regime with lots of showers. also hail from the showers, wintry as across the high ground, a bomb of thunder as well. then gets quieter and brighter, you will notice this temperature is coming up from the values we have experienced over the past couple of days. for the most part, we will do it all over again during the course of

thursday, with more blustery showers to come. take care. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: drivers are being told to take care, flights have been cancelled, and many homes are without power, as snow and freezing temperatures grip the uk. some have been enjoying it all, as a thousand schools in england and wales stayed closed today. but there are fresh warnings tonight of treacherous conditions, with temperatures set to plunge to minus 13. it could be the biggest advance for half a century, with scientists hoping they can stop the deadly disease in its tracks. 0n newsnight, we look to the great brexit trade debate of 2018. what kind of deal will we get? and is britain suffering an academic of loneliness, and is there anything we can do to help?
