the south-west, ireland, wales and the south—west, temperatures lower on boxing day although nothing particularly cold, everything moving very quickly so the first area of low pressure moves through, things become drier and brighter on wednesday, something a little colder so temperatures will be low across the northern half of the uk. as we head towards new year we are seeing this change in the weather pattern, we can relate it to the jet stream, see this surge of stronger winds running through that jet, which is further south. in the jet, which is further south. in the jet stream pics of areas of low pressure, drives them towards the uk one after another and those areas of low pressure of further south, not moving to the north of the uk as we are seeing now that moving right over the uk so every now and again he attacked in colder air on the northern edge and that means the chance perhaps of some snow. but the pattern is much more unsettled and changeable, we'll have stronger winds, back—up scales at times, for

the most part rain from time to time but when we see the text of colder air, there is the chance of some snow perhaps across the north. a visit by the foreign secretary to russia to repair relations ends in public disagreement and accusations of lying. a handshake between borisjohnson and his russian counterpart is followed by accusations of russian cyber attacks. you should recognise that russian attempts to interfere in our elections and our referendums — whatever they may have been — have not been successful. today's meeting was intended to open up channels of communication between the two countries — has it worked? also tonight, a man is charged with murder after a woman is stabbed to death at the supermarket where she worked. from eu burgundy to british blue — uk passports to change colour after brexit.

the new migrant crisis unfolding in greece — with thousands of asylum seekers forced to live in squalor. my name is eva schloss — would you like to ask me some questions about my life? and how a holocaust survivor is answering the questions yet to be asked by generations to come. and coming—up on sportsday on bbc news: it's a festive goal fest at the emirates arsenal take on liverpool — fifth v fourth in the permier league. in the premier league. good evening. a meeting intended to bring british relations with russia out

of the deep freeze has ended with public accusations of lying. in the first visit by a foreign secretary to moscow for five years, borisjohnson confronted his russian counterpart, sergei lavrov, about moscow's alleged involvement in cyber attacks on the west. mr lavrov retorted that the accusations were fabricated and criticised the uk for making what he called a series of aggressive and insulting public statements about russia. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. handshakes can be deceptive. true, this foreign secretary has broken a five—year british boycott of visits to moscow. but when russia's sergei lavrov says he wants a return to business as usual, borisjohnson says that's impossible. as you rightly say, sergei, things are not easy between us at the moment. the talks aired grievances on both and grievances on both sides and examined space for

limited cooperation. by supporting the iran nuclear deal together and opposing the nuclear threat from north korea. but deep disagreements remain. at theirjoint news conference, that was stark. for all the efforts at banter there was a seriousness when sergey there was a seriousness when sergei lavrov tried to brush off british allegations of russia meddling in foreign elections. translation: my neighbour borisjohnson recently stated he had no evidence that russia meddled in the referendum on the withdrawal of britain from the european union. not successfully, not successfully i think is the word. not successfully is the word that i think you need to introduce. translation: you see, he's scared if he doesn't disagree with me, his reputation will be ruined in the media at home. sergei, it's your reputation i'm worried about. so how did relations with russia go from bad to worse? russia's use of radioactive poison to murder alexander litvinenko in the middle of london

started the slide. three years ago russia's annexation of crimea and interference in ukraine provoked tough eu sanctions, strongly backed by britain. then last month, theresa may accused russia of cyber espionage and meddling in elections. britain says it has cyber weaponry to retaliate if attacks get worse. it is a sad truth that our relations, having gone through a good patch in the 1990s and the early 2000s, are now going through a very difficult patch. there is no question of that at all. but one of the reasons for coming here is that there is no point in simply sitting on the sidelines and complaining about each other. we have to engage. but when boris johnson was asked if he trusted russia's foreign minister, to avoid a direct answer he tried to make light of it.

you know, it's a measure of my trust that as soon as i got into this excellent foreign ministry i immediately handed my coat, my hat, my gloves, and indeed everything that was in my pockets, secret or otherwise, to sergei lavrov. translation: i can say there was nothing in the pockets of boris's coat. so, striding across red square, the foreign secretary was no mere tourist. he was nodding to russia's historic greatness, while pressing for a radical change of direction. coming here to red square boris johnson insists that he loves russia. he points to his name, the fact that he has some russian ancestry. what he doesn't love is the present russian government. so, paying his tribute at the tomb of russia's unknown soldier had a particular symbolism. britain and russia fought together against hitler as allies. restoring that closeness now seems a long way off. james, it was clearly a tense

atmosphere in the room between boris johnson and sergei lavrov. what chanceis johnson and sergei lavrov. what chance is there that that meeting will improve relations between the two countries? you could certainly feel the tension. this is a story of enormous mutual suspicion but it was an important meeting between two substantial world powers, many different in many ways, russia of this country of course, the largest by land area in the world, britain by land area in the world, britain by comparison tiny. but with a substantially larger economy than the russian economy. but the thing that the two countries share, they're very precious rare commodity in global power, is that they together have two of only five veto power seats on the security council at the united nations in new york. they need to get along much better if they are to contribute to a

constructive dialogue to try and underpin global security. but sergey lavrov made clear that russia still feels undervalued by others. it still feels it is the victim of a western constructed fabrication. voicejohnson is western constructed fabrication. voice johnson is entirely western constructed fabrication. voicejohnson is entirely dismissive of that and points out that many western countries feel gravely threatened by russia, particularly over electoral meddling. you could sense that also in the way boris johnson made a point of prodding russia in various sensitive points. he went at the end of his meeting to lay flowers at the spot where an opposition leader was assassinated two years agojust opposition leader was assassinated two years ago just under the kremlin wall and also championed lgbt rights in russia, pretty unpopular in this country and told students if they could only have a free press their country would be more prosperous. 0pen yes but suspicious still. the fourth election in as many years

in the spanish region of catalonia has once again confirmed its divisions. the party that won the most votes doesn't support independence for catalonia — but put together the separatist parties are able to form a slim majority. it follows the controversial referendum in favour of independence in october. here's james reynolds. catalonia's pro—independence voters enjoy their victory. now they want their power back. starting with the return from exile of the deposed regional president carlos puigdemont. he now claims a mandate to lead catalonia once more. but if he comes back to take office he faces arrest on the charge of rebellion for having called october's unlawful independence referendum. so, from brussels this afternoon carles puigdemont had a

message for spain. let's talk. catalonia wants to be in independent state. this is the wish of the catalan people. but the next step immediately is to talk with mariano rajoy, with president mariano rajoy. so, we need to find new ways, a political solution for our crisis between the spanish state and catalonia. but that's of no interest to spain's leader. this afternoon mariano rajoy made it clear, carlos puigdemont remains a wanted man, not a leader in waiting. translation: politicians must submit to the justice system, just like anyone else. it does not bend to politics. on this issue i would always be in favour of what the courts say. this crisis began months ago when a pro—independence administration here faced off against the central

government in madrid. there then followed months of argument, protest, debate, emergency measures and then the vote, and now catalans find that they are right back to where they were when the crisis began. nobody has really changed sides. for now the local government headquarters here awaits its permanent occupants. the man who won this election can't come to take up his old job. the law says that all sides now have until april to decide what to do next. james reynolds, bbc news, barcelona. a 44—year—old man has been charged with murder, after a woman was stabbed to death while at work in a supermarket in skipton, in north yorkshire. 30—year—old jodie willsher — who's married with a young daughter — was attacked in the aldi store in front of shoppers yesterday afternoon. judith moritz reports from skipton. malcolm and jodie willsher

were looking forward to a family christmas. tonight, he is left grieving, paying tribute to her as a doting mother and loving wife. jodie willsher was getting ready for the holidays, wearing her festive jumper while serving supermarket shoppers. jodie had worked at the skipton aldi since it opened two years ago. trolleys were abandoned as fearful shoppers scattered, whilst several staff and customers rushed to help. there was chaos inside the shop as people realised what had happened, and asjodie lay dying, the first person to intervene was a man in his 60s, who grappled with the attacker for a long time as he tried to restrain him. despite efforts to savejodie, she died on the shop floor. she liked to be around her friends, around her family. it's just such a tragedy, really, what's happened. she's such a beautiful girl, i can't believe it's happened to her.

she's so young. she had all her life ahead of her. the supermarket became a crime scene, forensic staff and police officers taking evidence away. today, the shop has remained closed, with customers coming instead to leave tributes for the popular member of staff. whenever i've shopped in aldi, she's always been friendly, pleasant, you know, a lovely girl, really, and it's just... what a shock. an absolute shock, really. it's just absolutely awful. with christmas, and her little girl being the same age as mine. things like this don't happen in this little town, and it's absolutely heartbreaking. the community here is small and tight knit. jodie willsher worked at its heart, well—known and well liked. tonight, a 44—year—old man has been charged with her murder. he'll appear in court in york in the morning. judith moritz, bbc news, skipton. the united nations security council has voted unanimously to impose

tougher sanctions on north korea in response to its recent ballistic missile tests. the us—drafted resolution includes measures to reduce the nation's petrol imports by up to 90%. china and russia, north korea's main trading partners, voted in favour of the resolution. two former south american football officials have been convicted for taking millions of dollars in bribes to grant broadcasting contracts. the former head of the south american football confederation and former president of brazil's football federation are facing long prison sentences. british passport covers are to turn blue once britain leaves the european union in 2019. the current burgundy passports will continue to be issued until then, but without the eu insignia. the home office says the new blue passport will be more high—tech and secure to prevent fraud and forgery. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports. the great british passport, shortly to be available not in european burgundy.

because, it turns out, brexit means blue. the government admits it is largely symbolic, restoring our national identity. outside the passport 0ffice, what's the reaction? it's blue, isn't it, back to england. ijust think it's a crying shame. we have this fantastic ability to travel around the world. we are looked upon favourably with our immigration policy and everything else. i think now it's a bit embarrassing, to be honest. i think the decision was a huge aspect of, you know, the country moving forward. and i think in order to move forward there needs to be changes, and if that's going to be distinguished by a simple colour, then why not? well, what's the difference? it's a different colour. that's it. ijust preferred it when we were in europe, everything. really? just everything, yeah. of course, the symbolism may be lost on those too young to have had the old passport, which looked nothing like this anyway. the last true british passport was hard backed, much bigger, and very,

very dark blue. the european one, which replaced it way back in 1988, was smaller, floppy and much easier to put in a pocket. the new one, and this isjust a mock—up, will be of roughly the same design, but it will keep all of the security features which make it so hard to copy, and it will add some. this is the passport of the future, and it is in circulation from today. when the red eu passport was introduced, 30 years ago, britain agreed to a common standard. it didn't have to accept the colour. croatia's passport remains blue. even so, the burgundy one was never loved. i think it's one of the most revolting, insignificant, tiny minded, small pieces of paper i've ever had the misfortune to witness. it's not really a british passport, is it? these days, passports are redesigned regularly to cut fraud, so the blue ones should not cost more. they'll start appearing in 2019. people who already have a passport have no need to do

anything at the moment. even at that point, if people still have time left on their passport we're not asking them to change at that point. but obviously people can renew it at whatever point they want, should they wish to move to a new passport. brexit is tough. changing the passport colour relatively easy. but like brexit, it is dividing the nation between those who say, "at last", and those who say "why bother"? tom symonds, bbc news at the passport 0ffice. two conservative mps facing allegations of inappropriate behaviour have been cleared of breaching the party's code of conduct. an independent panel found that the former work and pensions secretary, stephen crabb , who was accused of sending suggestive text messages to a young woman he interviewed for a job, had fallen short of expected standards. however, the panel said he hadn't harassed her. he has made an unreserved apology. the panel also threw out claims that the mp chris pincher had made an unwanted pass at a tory activist. it's a growing problem in countries like the philippines,

children put to work in front of webcams, forced to perform sex shows for paedophiles watching on the other side of the world. in 2013 a dutch organisation tried to find out how big the problem was by using the fake online profile of a ten—year—old filipina girl. they called her sweetie. more than 1,000 men offered her money to perform for them. now the team behind sweetie are launching a new project, this time targeting individual predators themselves, and the software's being offered to police forces across the world. from holland, angus crawford reports. 0nline, undercover, searching chat rooms, looking for predators. sweetie is back. always it's about sex. and always about adults who want to talk about sex. look, he's british, like many others, and remember they are talking to what they think is an 11—year—old girl. remember this? i'm not real.

the computer—generated model... back then, sweetie needed human operators to type her chats online. the new version is different. they're popping up. fully automated, she can now handle hundreds of conversations at the same time. so you could be getting the information on thousands of men? there is no end. sweetie's avatar has been retired and replaced by two new ones, sometimes being shown to predators via webcam. but we can't show you or they'd be no use any more. they invite him into their house, which is the cybersex den... so, why is this new campaign? here's why. in the philippines more and more children are being forced to sell sex to foreigners via webcam. five people were arrested and there were more than 600 foreign customers in the network. he has turned on his camera...

sweetie first showed us the scale of the problem. now the team is going on the offensive against men like this. he's naked and he thinks he knows you're just 12. exactly. and he wants you... to be naked... to turn on your camera... be naked, as well. i think he will... take off his trousers. their details could be passed to the police. and they'll get a nasty shock. an automatic message sent straight to their inbox. that will have a major impact on their behaviour. we know who you are, we know where you are, we know what you want. stop this. sweetie's job was to raise awareness, not catch criminals. this man, australian scott hanson, was one of the few to be prosecuted. but in many countries this kind of evidence doesn't count. some police forces support the project, others don't. but the sweetie team go on, scouring chat rooms,

turning the same technology used to exploit children back against the predators who seek them out. angus crawford, bbc news. a new migrant crisis is unfolding in greece, where the authorities are struggling to cope with thousands of asylum seekers now being held on islands close to turkey. the deal reached between the european union and turkey at the height of the migrant crisis last year reduced the number of arrivals but hasn't stopped them completely. more than 50,000 have arrived since that deal was signed. 0ur europe correspondent damian grammaticas sent this special report from the moria camp on the greek island of lesbos. nestled on a greek hillside, europe's dirty secret, moria camp, bursting at its seams. it's so full families are forced to sleep outside the wire, all around on the ground, human excrement. this is europe's migration

policy in action. more than 6000 squeezed into a camp built for a third that number. the waiting, stuck in this place, grinds many down. at night we went into moria to see for ourselves. what strikes you first is the rubbish, everywhere, and tents crammed into every corner because thousands are still arriving in greece from turkey every month. my tent. my baby. masuma's family, from afghanistan, came two months ago. 15. 15 people. how many children? six children. how is the situation in this tent for you? very, very difficult. it's the policy of greece and the eu to keep the arrivals here on the island. processing their claims is slow, so numbers are rising. winter is here, and the conditions are grim. sina and his family from iran

were re—cooking food given to them for lunch to try to make it more palatable. warm water. no warm water. not shower. no shower. toilet? toilet, no toilet. we shower inside the tent with cool water. and moria's toilets are filthy. there's no running water, so people have to use bottled water to try to flush. that's why many choose to defecate in the fields outside. what you have to keep reminding yourself here is that we're in europe. this camp has received funding from the eu. so this is how europe is treating some of those who are coming here seeking protection. there's no question that it's pretty shocking. and those who can't find space in the camp are even worse off. so this is it? a piece of plastic and a couple of blankets are all that adnan from syria has. his 17—year—old wife is four months pregnant. officially, pregnant women

should be a priority, but the system isn't working. translation: it's terrible. i'm always cold. they gave me a prescription, vitamins and medicine for my baby, but i have no money to buy them. i don't know what to do and who to ask for help. so who should help these people? the eu continues to argue about it. and as the cost of europe's indecisiveness, the desperate and the destitute, living a sort of limbo, dumped here on the edge of europe. damian grammaticas, bbc news, lesbos in greece. how do you keep the memories of the holocaust alive to answer the questions of future generations? holocaust survivor eva schloss, the step—sister of anne frank, has been taking part in a ground—breaking interactive project that will allow people to ask her hundreds of questions about her life and will preserve her testimony long into the future. reeta chakra barti has been to meet her.

three, two, one, go ahead. meet eva schloss. she's 88, and survived the horrors of auschwitz. she spent days being filmed recounting her past, so that people now and in the future can question her virtual self about what happened. my name is eva schloss. would you like to ask me some questions about my life? survivors are worrying what will happen when we are not around anymore, who is going to continue telling the story? because we think it is very important. now, at the museum of jewish heritage in new york, people can directly interview eva about what it was like in auschwitz, how she survived, and how it's affected her since. one of the questions, what was your most terrible moment in the camp? one day, my mother was selected to be gassed. and we were separated. and i thought, you know,

i had lost her. but through a miracle she was saved. and about three months later, we were reunited. over five days, eva answered more than 1000 questions about her story. and while she was doing so, a film—maker recorded the process. i think what's different about this experience is it puts the viewer in a really active role. so instead of sort of passively watching a movie or reading a book, you're sort of forced to think of your own question, what you want to ask. and this is more or less the only picture i have with my mother and my father and me. because my father usually took all the pictures. eva schloss lost her father and her brother in the holocaust. remarkably, she says she has no hatred or bitterness in her heart. but she does want people to listen and to learn. this is what we have to teach our young people, to get involved what goes on. and to, if they see things

going wrong, to speak out. technology is helping to prepare for the time when the survivors of this monstrous crime are no longer alive. it means eva schloss can continue telling her story for many decades to come. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes, the headlines this evening... it's a festive goalfest at the emirates as arsenal and liverpool fight for 11th place in the premier league. sharma smashes in a record—equalling t20 century offjust 35 balls. and worcester win the battle of the bottom sides in rugby's union's premiership. so lots coming up tonight but we're

starting with football and one of the games of the season. this fixture was an absolute cracker. fifth plays against fourth place as arsenal played liverpool on a friday night for the first time since the title decider of 1989. drew savage reports. much had been made of the fixture and its pride and history, the only thing up for grabs tonight in the premier league but these days that fourth champions league spot is all—important. liverpool with philippe coutinho determined to grab it, arsenal booed off at half—time, liverpool should have had more, mo salah put them two up have had more, mo salah put them two up but they could've had three or four. the atmosphere changed, first alexis sanchez rose to the occasion. no celebrations at this stage,

arsenal or business.
