flood warnings for england, mainly in the south—west and north—east coast areas, due to the arrival of storm emma. last night, police were called to lewisham in south—east london as passengers, who'd been stuck on a train, open the doors and climbed onto the tracks. simon clemison reports. the moment some rail passengers dispensed with the train. the moment some rail passengers dispensed with the trainlj the moment some rail passengers dispensed with the train. i will pass to you. we have been stuck on the train for 2.5 hours, luckily now we can walk down the tracks, as you can see, everyone is we can walk down the tracks, as you can see, everyone is getting out from the train, we are just the lewisham station. the operator has warned people against having online, and said turning off the power cause further delays. looking forward to getting home and having a cup of tea. in devon which has been hit ha rd by tea. in devon which has been hit hard by the snow, hospitals have been treating the injured. there

have been appeals to the owners of 4x4s to come forward to help ferry patients and staff in an hour. work which has continued overnight at one hospital. but did you know, this... we'll also in the forecast. flood warnings were in place today, both here and the south—west coast where the railway has been closed once again, and in the north—east. elsewhere, contacted snow and rain which quickly freezes will produce icy conditions that anyone travelling in large parts of the uk this morning, with more falls expected in scotland. after snow which has left people spending a night in their car, or in a luggage rack of a train, all eyes will be on the transport network again today. heathrow says it hopes to run a near full schedule, but many rail services will be disrupted. let's find out what the situation is like in the north—east of england this morning. our reporter alison freeman is in alnwick. it is dark where you are, tell us

what it is like? i am above and you really quiet ai, this believe it or not is their main route from the north—east of scotland, at this time of the morning you would expect to see more traffic on the road here. police are telling people to stay away if they can, there are sections of the road that they are clearing, and as it is cleared wind is blowing large drifts of snow over and in some places yesterday it is down to one carriageway. motorist is asked to find other routes around the ai, and they are getting stuck, and so the motor rescue has to come and walk people to safety. police in those restricted areas are trying to ta ke those restricted areas are trying to take police escorted convoys along, to get them back up to scotland or back down to alnwick if they can. on top of lack we are expecting freezing temperatures, icy conditions, and on top of that, in the north—east, we have flood

warnings at the moment, they stretch from sunderland up to windy day, those warnings in place across the south—west and cornwall, parts of devon and parts of dorset could be at risk as well. one good bit of news is that the m6 in two across the pennines reopened —— and 62. the message from the police is, please don't travel unless you absolutely have to, to let the emergency services do what they absolutely have to do, like transporting patients to hospital. chris fawkes will have a full weather forecast in around ten minutes time. to the rest of the day's news: the prime minister's speech on britain leaving the european union has been given a cautious welcome by both the leave and remain wings of her own party. the speech set out theresa may's vision of the uk's future trading relationship with the eu. here's our political correspondent‘s assessment. theresa may is a prime minister who

governs by a big speeches. she is a politician who goes off the page rather than an off—the—cuff, prepares what is going to say in advance and then read without to the assembled audience. she has lots of audience to talk to in that speech yesterday, she had to talk to europe, she had to talk to her own party, and the two wings of it with their very different in singsong brexit, and of course to us as voters in the country. broadly speaking it seems to have gone down relatively well at this stage. she said that yes, the uk would leave those big structures of the european union, the single market and the customs union, but beyond that she wa nted customs union, but beyond that she wanted as much cooperation as possible. the big question is whether europe will be willing to entertain at in the coming rounds of negotiation. as things stand, both wings of their own party, those who are sceptical about russells and those who are more favourable towards it, seem to have given it for now a cautious welcome. —— brussels. two men have been arrested by police investigating an explosion in leicester that killed five people.

the men, both in their 30s and from east anglia, are being held on suspicion of conspiracy to cause an explosion. three other men, also in their 30s, were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on wednesday and continue to be questioned by detectives. a new camera has been designed to spot abnormal cells before the develop into oesophageal cancer, one of the hardest form of the disease to detect. the work by doctors and physicists in cambridge has been paid for by public donations to the campaign, "stand up to cancer". the first trials of the camera are about to begin on patients. if we could shift the proportion of people diagnosed at an earlier stage, even if we could shift to buy as much as 10— 20%, that will start to have an impact and maybe we can do better than that. then we will have of course a huge benefit for the individuals concerned in terms of reducing the side—effects from the treatment, giving them a better

prognosis and curing their cancer, but also to society more broadly. people who are obese or who smoke should not be refused or delayed from having surgery by local health authorities — that's according to the academy of medical royal colleges. the body, which represents 2a medical colleges and health faculties, said rationing surgery based on patients' lifestyles would "widen inequalities in access to healthcare". the body which sets the rules for world football is expected to approve the use of video replay technology throughout the sport when it meets in zurich today. the system has been used on a trial basis in several countries including some cup matches in england. but it has proved controversial, as our sports correspondent, richard conway reports. the days when football got it wrong. some of the game's greatest injustices. schumacher came out... and the very reason the sport's lawmakers must now decide whether to

give the go—ahead to video technology. a positive vote could see it use it this summer's russian world cup. if approved referees could call for help on goals, penalties, red cards and mistaken identity. a two—year experiment of the system is coming to an end and the system is coming to an end and the man who helped devise it knows what is at stake. focus must not eat and maintain minimum interference in the flow and emotion of the game, otherwise we will spoil football.- critics say that is except the what is happening. this week's fa cup game against ottoman russia was part of the trial, but lengthy delays and confusion over decisions have led to calls to delay or cancel the plans. —— between tottenham. calls to delay or cancel the plans. -- between tottenham. the holy grail is the fa cup, if it is not ready we cannot put it into our most prestigious tournament. fifa insists the system works as the video replay trial has shown, those who think technology will stop the controversy

has another thing coming. gary oldman has told bbc news of his excitement at the prospect of landing his first academy award. the ‘tinker tailor, soldier spy‘ star is tipped to win best actor for his role as winston churchill in the film, ‘darkest hour‘. speaking at a party ahead of tomorrow's oscars ceremony in los angeles he said it was an honour to play the former prime minister. iam i am feeling, i'm feeling very good about it. sunday would be, these things will be what they will be, but either they call your name or they don't. but the ride has been, they don't. but the ride has been, the right has been enjoyable, and to be recognised for playing winston churchill, it is... the prize in itself. a lot of people saying he is in with a real chance. i think it might be, we will see. shall we look at the front pages? we have just a

couple of snow stories. people are coping with the situations vary in. one of them,: four days of snow may have brought the uk grinding to a halt but on many farms it is business as usual. one family near gisburn in lancashire have found a novel way to help their new—born lambs survive the ‘beast from the east‘ by putting them in their aga. we advise you don‘t try this at home. but according to the farmer he pops them in for a quick ten minutes to warm them up. again, don‘t try that at home. you can‘t say that too often, do not do that with your pets, do not put them in the aga. you have been sending in stories about snow heroes, little things people are doing that make what can be a pretty bleak situation a bit it. people who go the extra

mile to help their local communities over the past few days, people perhaps stuck, such as: after being caught in the snow on the 852, lewis knight proceeded to help people that we re knight proceeded to help people that were stuck behind a jackknifed lorry, four hours into the night. working alongside two police officers, a farmer in their tractor and woodchip is, they were able to rescue a0 cars injust and woodchip is, they were able to rescue a0 cars in just one day. that‘s nice. sometimes they are big things and sometimes they are small things. carrying on at her sister, this is helen, who cares for the elderly in her home, that is in the pendle area, which was on weather alert last night, she headed out for her nightshift, decked out in huge boots, you get the idea, look at the picture there. waterproof rucksack filled with hot coffee, hats,

scarves and blankets. a very proud family member there, and just a little things, people going the extra mile, and well—equipped with flasks, something warm, getting out there and doing some good. if you wa nt to there and doing some good. if you want to nominate your snow heroes, get in touch. a set of commuters took matters in their own hands last night after their journey was disrupted by snow and ice. they jumped off their stranded train and began walking down the tracks. southeastern trains said the passengers in lewisham could have been killed and delayed the company from resolving the problem. good morning to you. can you go through the sequence of events for us, when was the first time you realise there was a problem?” us, when was the first time you realise there was a problem? i am in kent, just south of maidstone. we realised there was a problem when the train stopped for quite a lengthy period. shortly after we we re lengthy period. shortly after we were told there was a train in front

that had trouble going up a kill —— up that had trouble going up a kill —— up the hill because it could not get... up the hill because it could not get. . . what up the hill because it could not get... what happened next? we waited and we waited. there were some announcements saying they were waiting and we didn‘t have a lot of information. it did not take long before, it must have been an hour before, it must have been an hour before the power went, the train just went on to emergency lighting. and what do you know about what the other passengers on the train in front you‘d? other passengers on the train in front you'd? mostly we know what we heard on twitter, that the conduct and —— conductor and driver of the train said that we were getting more information than they had. they were so information than they had. they were so close to their destination, and took matters into their own hands and a few got off, which i can guess, we were on the train going a long distance, we didn‘t have much opportunity, and getting off wouldn‘t have helped us, but those going shortjourneys thought they could get off and get onto buses and things, and that caused them to turn the power off. as you are explaining

that we are seeing some of the images of people doing exactly as you say, just getting off the train. it calls a lot more problems, didn‘t it, which you then were caught up in? yes. we were in a situation where the lights totally went out on oui’ where the lights totally went out on ourtrain, when it where the lights totally went out on our train, when it went on to emergency power. it knocked off the heating. we then sat in total dark misfit 2—3 hours while we waited. conductors were walking through the train, the passengers knew more than he did. it took a very long time and everything was backed up all the way into london, no train passed us the whole time we were stopped, nothing went in or out. we are watching some of these pictures of people walking along and making their way to the platform, officially of course the railway company is saying, this is absolutely the wrong thing to do, very dangerous, causing ongoing problems, i don‘t know, what do you think when you see those pictures,

and you saw it people did? think when you see those pictures, and you saw it people did7m think when you see those pictures, and you saw it people did? it was quite different to the scenario on my train. everyone on my train was calm and nobody got off, i didn‘t see anyone walking past. at first i was quite shocked when i heard people were doing that, i work in mental health and the compassion to understand why people did things kicks in, and they felt they were so close to their destination so walking 100 metres to their station, considering the power was turned off. the people on my train still had an hourof off. the people on my train still had an hour of theirjourney, they had an hour of theirjourney, they had no chance of getting home if the train didn‘t run. so they had a little bit more resilience of our train. but i can get why people did what they did, baby and our, two hours, they could have waited longer, —— maybe. but you could see there was a lot of pent up frustration that came out, they were probably on a much busier train, eve ryo ne

probably on a much busier train, everyone had a seat on mine. thank you for sharing your story with us, glad you are ok and it is all sorted out this morning. so frustrating when you are so close to the platform but at the same time, safety. let‘s find out how the weather is looking today. are we over the worst of it? good morning. thank you. you over the worst of it for sure but today, there a risk of ice and a big risk of ice i have to say, also some snow today across northern areas bringing the risk of a few more centimetres in places but not as heavy and not as disruptive as the weather has been i‘m pleased to say. we have the cold air flowing in and across much of the country but the area is starting to turn a little less cold from the south, the process will continue as we hit through the weekend. the main boundary between those two and masses is this lump of cloud working in across northern england. that is

bringing some snow we weather. again, the wintry stuff around. he also have freezing rain across eastern england, liquid rain that has a temperature below zero and it turns the ice as soon as it hits roads you can imagine brits turning to ice rink for a while across eastern england. to take it easy, the roads could be dangerous as you are heading outside this morning. the snow will continue working north, snow showers the eastern areas of scotland and antrim and down but the weather turns cold as we see the showers working in, a bit of snow over the moz and also the brecon beacons for a while. cold for many of us with temperatures struggled to get a freezing, treading a little less cold in the south. heading through this evening and overnight, the showers continue to push northwards across england and wales. some could be quite heavy. so to come across eastern scotland, ice will be a major risk as we go through the night. those temperatures dipping below freezing.

watch out for an icy start of the day for sunday. sunday will continue the trend of turning slightly less cold from the south but there will be more showers around on saturday, they could be quite heavy and the winds picking up around the showers, especially across southern england. north, some snow over the high ground, the hills of north—east england and eastern scotland but at lower levels, the wintry mix, rain, sleet and perhaps a little bit of smoke to some of those heavy showers, temperatures coming up for degrees also in edinburgh through sunday. next week, still a risk of snow in the far north of scotland but it will continue to turn less cold and we are looking at some styles of rain coming up from the south at times. on the big pressure chart you can see the change taking place as we had from sunday into monday. the weather system will continue to drag up some less cold airfrom continue to drag up some less cold air from southern climes, the better riches will continue to gradually rise but generally staying below average for the time of year. we are

over the worst of it today but ice isa over the worst of it today but ice is a major risk this morning and we still have a bit of snow to come across parts of the north and east today. chris, thank you. yes, we have both ice we‘ll bring you the headlines at 6:30. time now for this week‘s film review. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week‘s releases is mark kermode. what have you been watching? we have red sparrow, the new film starring jennifer lawrence. we have a fantastic woman, which is chile‘s oscar entry for the foreign language film academy award. and game night. is it a game or is it real? red sparrow. yes, so red sparrow is very interesting.

it‘s based on a book by a former cia operative, jason matthews. jennifer lawrence is is a russian ballerina who is violently recruited to become a sparrow — an undercover intelligence agent. she is taught how to seduce her prey. she is sent to budapest on the trail of an american, played by joel edgerton, who she meets, and we know she has to win his confidence. but it seems fairly early on that they both understand what the other is. here is a clip. dominika. you know my name? you told me. you stole my id from the pool. that would be illegal. were you just looking for me? i would know where to find you if i was. i'm curious, did you want me to know you were following me or are you just real clumsy? you americans think we are so interested in you. what made you want to become a translator? my mother is ill. if i work for the government, the state helps me to care for her. my uncle helped me get the job.

your uncle is a very powerful man. in my country, if you do not matter to the men in power, you don't matter. hey, i would like to see you again. why, are we going to become friends? is that what you want? i don't have any. there is a russian restaurant right by the opera, have dinner with me. so it is an odd movie. on the one hand, it looks like a mainstream glossy thriller. it is directed by francis lawrence, who did some of the hunger games movies and it has english and american actors speaking in russian accents like that. i wasn‘t sure about that accent! but the other side is that it is nastier than you would expect. it was precut from an 18 to get a 15 certificate, and in the very first assignment she has, there is a graphic sexual assault when she is sent to the training camp, in which she is led by charlotte rampling. it is really quite tough and distressing and oddly explicit,

and then the violence, the outbreaks of violence during the movie are wince—inducing fare. i imagine that some people who arejennifer lawrence fans might find it hard to take. there is an argument for saying actually, it‘s not glamorising it, it‘s saying this is really rough and nasty stuff. then you think, well, jennifer lawrence‘s fans have come through mother! she is having a run of peculiar films. absolutely, and she made that strange science fiction movie which again divided audiences. i like the fact she makes bold and often strange choices. i like the fact she doesn‘t play it safe. she is the centre of the movie. it is very changeable tonally, so sometimes it is almost high camp, sometimes it is people chewing the scenery, and sometimes it is really, you know, nasty — and i mean properly nasty, gritty — and i know some people have found that intolerable. i think it is interesting.

i think it is nothing like as mainstream as i expected it to be, and that is for the better, but it is not for everyone. i cannot handle violence at all, as you know. you are not going to embrace it. i‘m afraid i‘m out. it is not going to happen. however... let me suggest you see a fantastic woman, chile‘s entry for the foreign language film oscar. so the story is daniela vega, who is brilliant as marina. she is a waitress and aspiring singer who finds herself shut out of her own life when her older partner dies and herfamily — the family of her partner — suddenly descend and say "you can‘t come to the funeral, the wake, you cannot stay in the apartment you have been living with orlando in, you need to give back the car". the reason they find her threatening, not just because she is the other woman with whom orlando ran off, but she is a transgender woman. and they consequently think that she is a threat to what they call their normal lives. throughout the film, she says "my name is marina", but they refuse to call her that. one of the sons calls her maurice. at one point, the wife calls her daniel. it is about her defining her own character, finding her own space.

finding her own space. and what is really interesting is that her name is echoed visual motifs throughout the film. it opens with a waterfall, a seascape on the wall of the bedroom. the film itself goes from being classical romance to a social realist drama to a weird lynchian thriller and at one point, it turns into a musical with levitation sequences. i thought it was wonderful. i thought daniela vega was wonderful, mesmerising in the role. you completely understand and care about her character and the situation she is in, and i thought it was a really good piece of work. and i loved it so much, i saw it and i went straight back and watched it again a second time because i thought there was so much in it. i think you will really like it. there is a recommendation! fantastic. i look forward to that. game night. yes. i have read quite a lot about this film and i still don‘t understand what it is about. ok, so it is — basically, here is the best way of describing it. game night — so therefore it lifts its rifts from the game,

the david fincher movie, and date night. hence game night. there are two characters who are obsessed with games. they agree to take part in a murder mystery but when it starts off, maybe it is not a game, maybe it is real. maybe this loaded gun is not a prop. maybe it‘s real. that is the thrill. it is a kind of an idea we have seen done before. if you think about films like after hours or into the night, a normal couple gets sucked into strange underworld crime. however, it begins with them having game night with their friends. here is a clip. come on, max! and go, go, go! 0h, easy — the famous actor we met at the airport about eight years ago. who? only actor we have met at an airport who's famous. bobby flay? he was in front of us at the sbarro? we wondered why he wasn't in the first class lounge. oh, yes, yes... who was that? goddamn it! max, there‘s is a whole room of people to help you out. use us.

good point. he was the incredible hulk! eric bana. other one. um, mark ruffalo? other one. lou ferrigno! holy... primal fear! richard gere never played the incredible hulk! time! ed norton. 0h! primal fear! that is why those games are so annoying. but you laughed all the way through that. i have this rule that a comedy can only count as a comedy if it makes you laugh more than six times. you laughed more than six times in that clip. here‘s the thing. i looked at the trailer and thought it is going to be that movie we have seen umpteen versions of but i got away with it because the cast gave it their best, the gags are funny. i do think that gag about richard gere, that is good, and that standard of gag is kept up all the way through. even through the set pieces and the very sort of contrived set—ups. they bump into people they think are playing being criminals but they are real criminals, or are they? that goes on all the way through the film, but i kept laughing. it kept me laughing, and nobody was more surprised

than i was that that was the case. 0k. i am still not 100% sure. but anyway, ok. a fantastic woman is one you will love. i look forward to that and i am sure about the shape of water. i love it. i think it‘s wonderful. yes, i like it. do you feel as strongly as i do? i loved it in a curious way, but i enjoyed every moment. it is great it has been nominated. it looks wonderful, brilliant score, fantastic performances, and i have seen it three times and i will watch it again, because it is a lovely fairytale. it is splash meets the creature from the black lagoon, and that‘s an ideal film for me. yes, it is best out. and should i say see it on a big screen? because visually, it is so impressive. yes. when it comes out on dvd, i will tell you the opposite. i will lie. you will have it in the best dvd category. yeah. so best dvd for this week is florida project. it is a shame it wasn‘t more represented at the awards. i mean, everything is coming up.

willem dafoe is the only one who has been represented. i think it is great. it is a humanist, wonderful, modern version of our gang brilliantly firected from the director of tangerine. such a shame it has fallen into one supporting actor nod. but that tells you what you need to know about awards — they are nonsense. wel, thanks! thanks for that thought! but it is beautifully made and it is starring some people — some of the people in it have not had formal acting training, alongside people like willem dafoe. and that‘s what — the real genius of it is you get someone who is a seasoned professional against a first—timer and suddenly, it works. there is no sense of having an imbalance between the performances because actually, it is because the director does a brilliantjob of putting everyone right in the space, and, you know, the whole film takes place just beyond the boundaries of disney world, so it is like you have been cast out of the magic kingdom into this netherworld. it has a sort of fairytale feel. into people in real

american poverty, alongside disney world. living in a hotel designed as a resort hotel, but has become a hotel for people who are in poverty, who are homeless, yet there is such vibrancy, such life, the characters are wonderful. i thought it was terrific. i thought it was going to be an awards contender, get everything, and that just shows. .. to be fair, you did say that — i wasn‘t going to remind you. i am the first to admit i can‘t predict awards. ut there we go, it should have been nominated for more. should have been a contender. thank you very much, mark. more next week. before we go, there are all the film news and reviews from across the bbc online — you know the address, i am sure. all our previous programmes are on the iplayer as well. that is it for this week. enjoy your cinema going. see you next time. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with tina daheley and charlie stayt.

here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news. freezing weather conditions are continuing to cause major travel disruption across the uk. weather warnings of snow and ice remain in place in large parts of the country and the environment agency has now issued 15 flood warnings, mainly in the south—west and north—east coast areas. the police had to be called to south—east london last night after passengers on a stranded train in lewisham decided tojump on the tracks and walk to the nearest station. earlier we spoke to brian who was on the train behind that one, he told us the train behind that one, he told us about the impact it had on his journey. they felt they were so close to their destination, there for it was less of an issue then walking 100 metres to a station, with the power turned off. people on my train had a long way left, they had almost an hour of theirjourney to do, they had no chance of getting

home if the train didn‘t run, so you know, they had a little more resilience on that train. but i can get why people did what they did, maybe an hour, two hours, they could have waited longer, but i can see obviously there is a lot of frustration that came out, they were probably on a much busier train than mine, on mine everyone had a seat so it wasn‘t so much of a problem. police in dublin have made several arrests after a police —— a supermarket was reportedly looted last night. the one social media shows the lidl store being attacked with a mechanical digger, you can see that the mechanical digger knocking into the building itself, the german chain described it as a serious incident which took place when the store was closed and no staff were present. the prime minister‘s speech on britain leaving the european union has been given a cautious welcome by both the leave and remain wings of her party. theresa may set out her vision of the uk‘s future trading relationship with the eu and called for concesssions on all sides. she said she was confident remaining

differences over a draft legal agreement could be resolved, allowing trade talks to get under way. two men have been arrested by police investigating an explosion in leicester that killed five people. the men, both in their 30s and from east anglia, are being held on suspicion of conspiracy to cause an explosion. three other men, also in their 30s, were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on wednesday and continue to be questioned by detectives. gary oldman has told bbc news of his excitement at the prospect of landing his first academy award. the ‘tinker tailor, soldier spy‘ star is tipped to win best actor for his role as winston churchill in the film, ‘darkest hour‘. speaking at a party ahead of tomorrow‘s oscars ceremony in los angeles he said it was an honour to play the former prime minister. i am feeling, i‘m feeling very good about it. sunday would be, these things will be what they will be, either they call your name or they don‘t. but the ride has been, the ride has been enjoyable,

and to be recognised for playing winston is... it‘s the prize in itself. i think he will win the big prize. it will be great if he did, i was trying to think of a clever segue there, he has been in the business for a long time, he should have won the award, and your first story is about someone who people think could wina big about someone who people think could win a big award. very good. we are talking about katarina johnson—thompson, always had potential, held back by injury, may be the lack of confidence or conviction at the crucial moments but she has put that behind her, she has won herfirst world title. sheep puts it down to relocating from liverpool to the south of france, —— she puts it down. she says she really has missed her sausage dogs. she says she has

been very lonely without her dogs. worth it in the end. it has certainly paid off her though with her first world title in the pentax won at the world indoor games in birmingham. she sealed the victory with another win, this was in the 800 metres, two and what she said has been a wobbly but in the end dominant day as she set a new personal best in shotput and came out on top in the long jump as well. it came after she suffered this appointment at the world outdoor championships last summer. appointment at the world outdoor championships last summerlj appointment at the world outdoor championships last summer. i can't believe it, i have dreamt of this for so long and to come here and do it in the home championships, i have been so happy to rectify it, and all my family been so happy to rectify it, and all myfamily are been so happy to rectify it, and all my family are here today, that this not normally happen, i went through a hard year last year, and ijust wanted my family to see me actually achieve something, so i am so happy they got to be hero witness it, and they got to be hero witness it, and they were here for every event. i still can‘t believe it really.

they were here for every event. i still can't believe it really. she is only 25, many years left to go, and for so long in the shadow really ofjessica ennis—hill, but now she has emerged and is finally living up to her potential. and now the commonwealth games is just a few weeks away. this is in the pentax on other —— rather than the decathlon, here she is getting her gold medal. her long—time rival was missing from this event but we mustn‘t take this away from her, and jessica ennis—hill‘s career really took up after she won the indoor championships. there could be more to come today, laura miller is looking to follow up the bronze she won in the 3000 metres, with a 1500 metre. —— muir. on to the cricket, new zealand are chasing 235 to win,

the tourist batsmen struggled in a difficult pitch in wellington, none of the managed to get a 50. the captain was in the top scorer with a8 as his side were all out for 23a. ben stokes took a great catch early on to dismiss: growth of a9, and just a few moments ago, another wicket for moeen ali means that new zealand have now slumped to 97— four, offjust over 21 overs. so maybe it will be closer than we thought, with england‘s total of 235. great britain have added another medal on day three of the world track championships in the netherlands. mark stewart won bronze in the men‘s points race which is over 160 laps. australia‘s camera may retain his title with home rider jan willem van schip taking silver. britain now have four medals, one

gold to silvers and the bronze. it was a difficult evening for britain‘s elinor barker as she was caught up in this crash during the elimination race in the women‘s omnium. she went into the fourth and final event, the points race, in the bronze medal position, but couldn‘t manage to hold on to it, finishing sixth overall just a nine points off a medal. kirsten vild took gold for the netherlands. middlesbrough are into the championship play—off places, after beating leeds 3—0. it was a hat—trick from striker patrick bamford, that pushed boro, into the top 6. this game surviving the weather, but three championship games today have already been postponed, so do check before setting off. despite the weather all seven of today‘s premier league fixtures are expected to go ahead.

the match of the day sees liverpool welcome newcastle united manager rafael benitez back to anfield. the spaniard is unbeaten against his former club and liverpool bossjurgen klopp is expecting a tough time against a man he calls a legend. we gave enough presence to him, 2—0 up we gave enough presence to him, 2—0 up at the home game with play them, and at newcastle, i think he was a little lucky, so for them, we need to be really focused, really concentrating on that game, and yeah, it will be interesting again. as it stands at the moment although the fixtures in the scottish cup are due to take base today and tomorrow, including premiership leaders celtic was mac matched with the championship club granik morton. there is a lot of work going on around the stadium, the pitch is fine, so that is playable for the game, so there is a lot of work going on to make it safe and secure. we have played a lot of games, so a

bit of a breather for a few days won't do us any harm. but the guys trained very well, and we are ready for the game. hull f.c. be warrington last night, a bit of a badtempered affair, both sides had a man sent off. wigan moved up to second with a win over widnes. i will be telling you what sort of sport in what sort of sport you use this. good catch. it is like a giant squash ball. any clues? it is quite similarto squash ball. any clues? it is quite similar to squash, but you don‘t need a racket. thank you. not all heroes wear capes, some prefer high

viz vests. they have been out in force on the streets of bristol keeping people safe in the snow. their mission is to make our streets safer. these are the community snow wardens. with get on with it, eve ryo ne wardens. with get on with it, everyone have spades?” wardens. with get on with it, everyone have spades? i like being a pa rt of everyone have spades? i like being a part of the community and people appreciate it, when i am out people say thank you, and it is nice. trained by bristol city council in how to keep themselves safe and how to clear footpaths for their neighbours, there has not been a great need for their services in recent yea rs. great need for their services in recent years. is this the first time you have used it in anger? this is the first time. why do you do it? if there is no in difficulty moving around, the problem is ours, if not someone else‘s. one that we sold ourselves. the community is as

important as family. because in a way you always have your community, you may not always have your family. as vehicles at slip and slide their way along these streets, most people here have opted to travel on foot, so clear pavements are much appreciated. if we clear at first it is easiest... but as we struggle to cope with whether many of us now rarely see in much of the uk, for graham‘s daughter annie, visiting from ukraine, this is a holiday.” do live in ukraine, so it is about -1a do live in ukraine, so it is about —1a when i left, so yes, it is slightly chilly there as well. it is quite funny coming back a few days and having this year in the uk. —— having this here. we are only around half a mile away from the centre of bristol, but as you can see, a lot of these roads are really still covered in snow. when you think about it, it does not matter how

good a job is done clearing our motorways and clearing out a roads, if you can‘t get 80 front door than what is the point? that is where the community snow wardens come in. as much as their efforts are appreciated, floor would make life in this city much easier. until that happens, these volunteers will be out in force and thankfully in both senses of the word, there is plenty of grit. if we think the weather has been bad here, whether in other parts of the world has been worse. how do people cope in countries where subzero temperatures are the norm. we can speak to someone from canada, where it is minus nine degrees. it is properly warm inside where you are, but what is it like outside? it's pretty bad, even though it is just outside? it's pretty bad, even though it isjust —9, have had —25, it has been snowing to the last 2a

hours, so it is terrible. and extremely cold. is it one of the cold est wi nters extremely cold. is it one of the coldest winters there for you? yeah, i spoke to someone who has been hit a0 yea rs i spoke to someone who has been hit a0 years and she said she has never seen a worse winter in canada will stop so lucky me! it looks stunning, we are looking at pictures of what it is like where you are now, and over here in the uk in contrast, it is all we have been talking about, there has been major disruption on there has been major disruption on the roads, people stranded in their cars, delays to trains, planes being cancelled, what is it like they‘re in terms of, are things carrying on as normal? yeah canadians are just so nonchalant as normal? yeah canadians are just so nonchala nt about as normal? yeah canadians are just so nonchalant about this though, is still see the kids all bundled up at the bus stop, you still see parents with their baby carriage going for a walk, nobody, we have friends who goes around when it is —15, said people just go about their day and that police is prepared, the city is

prepared, the roads are clean, but there is obviously still accidents, so people just go on there is obviously still accidents, so peoplejust go on normal life, like they are used to. you have lived in the uk and you have lived in canada, how do they both compare for you? in canada, how do they both compare foryou? in in canada, how do they both compare for you? in terms of when we get severe weather, snow, bad weather. yeah, people are just so much severe weather, snow, bad weather. yeah, people arejust so much more resilient to the bad weather here, they have issues that they use when it is -10, they have issues that they use when it is —10, and then they have issues that they use when it is —20 five. so they have all their gear as well. in the uk it is quite unpredictable, but i think the snow is so predictable here that people are just casual about it, and i am absolutely not! but we did know to be fair that he was coming here, and in terms of getting around, do people sort of stay inside or not travel as much when they get their

warning? they have winter tyres here and snowploughs so the roads are cleaned up snowploughs so the roads are cleaned up but on the way to work, on a bad, icy day, you will see a couple of accidents but nobody takes, you know, i am still to come across a snow day here, i have never seen a snow day here, i have never seen a snow day here, i have never seen a snow day here. wow! what a difference. thank you for speaking to us this morning. enjoy the snow. i want to us this morning. enjoy the snow. iwanta to us this morning. enjoy the snow. i want a pair of those —25 shoes! i wonder what they look like. i want a pairof wonder what they look like. i want a pair of those shoes. chris, what do you think? i don‘t know if i can get my leg up that high but i have my walking boots on this morning. very good. very good. that is my 02 your shoes conversation. some fresh

snowfall overnight, this is how things are this morning, a top up so 55 centimetres of snow across southern wales, the snowiest spot. it is near cardiff. that is why people are struggling to get out and about, an enormous volumes of snow. the risk of icy stretches around this morning to watch out for, meanwhile in southern part that will turn less cold as the weekend goes by. temperature is still quite a bit below average. the state of play, the cold easterly wind still across parts of the uk but the milder winds trying to push in from the south, they will continue to make inroads across southern areas as we have through the weekend boosting the temperature of little bit. a lot of cloud around. these were the front is bringing snowy weather at the moment across wales and northern counties of england so fresh snowfall is around, snow showers too the eastern scotland and the parts of eastern england and eastern scotla nd of eastern england and eastern scotland freezing rain. this is

dangerous, it is liquid rain that has a temperature below zero and it turns the ice as it hits roads. you cannot greet against it either. because the roadster is turning to ice shrinks for a time. —— ice rinks. a few more centimetres of snow to come across eastern parts. through antrim and down and eastern scotland, north—east england, but the rain showers pushing into the south—west, some snow for the moors and the brecon beacons. overnight, temperatures will take a dive so we are looking at widespread frost developing and again, the return of icy conditions. showers pushing northwards across wales in south—west england in particular. more snow to come across eastern parts of scotland. it is the ice risk which is the biggest hazard to ta ke risk which is the biggest hazard to take us into sunday morning once again. sunday, cloud around but a few bright or sunny spells between the cloud. showers pushing across

northern england, eastern scotland, some snow within the showers particularly over the hills whereas lower down, a wintry mix. further south, rain showers will be pushing it through the afternoon as the breeze freshens. temperatures are to nine degrees in london. next week, the risk of some snow across northern areas without cold air continuing to hang around but it will turn less cold in the south. chris, thank you. we will be spending quite a bit of time with you today. that is why he is wearing sensible we‘ll bring you the headlines at 7:00. but first, it‘s time for click. this week, 108,000 people landed in barcelona with one thing on their minds — mobiles.

welcome to the mobile world congress. the enormous annual expo where we get to hear about the latest in phones, tablets and, increasingly, anything that moves. smartwatch with built—in projector, anyone? and roaming the show floorfor us this year, lara lewington. despite talk of how many of the big players are not releasing new phones at the show, there are quite a few new phones on display. and the cameras were often taking centrestage. this is bothie mode. we saw how we might interact with our devices in the future... who needs buttons when you can gesture? it works! —and the way they might interact with us. a phone screen that bends. could a bendy phone be the future? but to really get to grips with the latest news here, ijoined forces with a man

who seriously knows his phones. hmd, who brought us the nokia phone brand a few years back, are again embracing nostalgia with a 2018 twist with its 8110 ag. and no, you do not need to have it in banana yellow. would you feel silly to take that out of your pocket? absolutely in that colour. i would need it to be black or any other colour except bright yellow. its operating system can only run a few apps. however, they will include google assistant, google maps and facebook, although not twitter nor whatsapp. but with battery life of up to 25 days, albeit on standby, and a price tag of 70 quid, it does sound like a decent proposition. it is, with ag, too. that is all of the data connectivity you would want at a ridiculously low price. how nice is it to hold like that, frame the shot and then use the centre button to take the it?

even here at the big reveal of a phone, it was the camera that was very much front and centre. for a start, the samsung galaxy s9 and s9+ shoot better pictures in low light, reducing grain by taking a burst of 12 shots at once. the larger s9+ actually has two lenses that work together to produce photos with a blurred background, in the same way that the iphone 7 plus has done since 2016. this, however, is quite new here in the west. it is the first phone i have seen that has a mechanical aperture which can switch from f2.a to f1.5 to let in more light. now, last year, we saw a sony phone which could shoot at a0x slow—mo. that‘s 960 frames per second! and, as we predicted then, that feature is now starting to migrate into other phones.

one problem i had with sony‘s super—slow mode is that you have to be incredibly precise in order to start the recording and capture those 0.2 seconds of slow—mo action. not so with the s9. it waits until it detects motion in a certain part of its viewfinder and then it fires the slow—mo mode. so... that should mean you don‘t miss those few milliseconds of slow—mo magic. hot on the heels of apple‘s iphone animojis, the s9 lets you create and send your own emojis. now, they do look a little like you but, quite impressively, they will copy your expression using live face tracking. or you can use a pre—set created from your, ahem, likeness. overall, the s9 and s9+ look and feel like their predecessors.

the same size, they‘re dust— and water—resistant and they still have a headphone socket. hurrah! but the screen is ever—so—slightly longer. they will now accept sd cards of up to a00 gigabytes and they play dolby atmos sound. and where the s8 could be plugged into a special dock to connect to a screen, mouse and keyboard, the s9 can become a trackpad. and soon, this will also double as a keyboard. even with the s9‘s better tech specs, critics say that the improvements are not massive. but i do think that the camera and the sharing functions are sure to be eye—catchers. and of course, no super slow—mo shoot is complete without lots and lots of confetti. this is possibly one of the more

surprising things on the show floor. i am currently in a holoportal. the set—up consists of four kinect sensors, five laptops doing the grunt work, and once a person has been created in holographic form, well, they can be seen on this, the microsoft hololens in real—time. and i have been to see a family who are really putting this set—up to good use. so harrison has something called duchenne muscular dystrophy, which is a fatal genetic muscle—wasting disease. it means every single muscle cell in his body is deteriorating over is deteriorating over time. unfortunately, that means he loses the ability and strength to do a lot of things that we take for granted — simply walking, giving your parents a hug, things like that, theyjust go in time.

he has a life expectancy somewhere between 20 and 25. which is when the heart and lungs — which are also muscles — that is when they give up and we lose him then. since harrison came off his feet at the end of last year, being able to create stimulating and engaging experiences at home have become more important than ever. and today, he has a virtual visitor. this research prototype is currently being perfected at a facility in ravensbourne. heirisson, how are you? 0k! i see the holograndpa. are you in charge of cooking tonight? yep. your dad would like a steak that big! he is only allowed one this big. we've got next tuesday — pancake day.

what would you have this year? definitely maple syrup. there are are both ar and vr versions. eventually, maybe more than one person could be beamed at a time. eventually, 2—way audio and video could be possible and more than one person could be transported. but right now, it is about getting the basics right. while this is not a true hologram, the headset displays holograndpa as a 3—dimensional projection, as if he was in the room. there was when we tested at a bit of a time lag due to a lack of processing power and connection. there was, when we tested it, a bit of a time lag due to a lack of processing power and connection. arsenal beat tottenham. never in a million years! is that going to happen. 3—1 to tottenham, and harry kane scores two. yeah! now, after weeks of buildup,

the oscars are finally here. the 90th academy awards are this weekend. over the past few weeks, we have been going exclusively behind the scenes with some of the nominees in the best visual effects category. this week is the fourth in our series, otherwise known as episode viii. of course, i am talking about star wars: the lastjedi. kill it. we aim to try to do as much as we can in camera but the reality is there always going to big moments with visual effects and other film like this it is a star wars movie, we ultimately ended up with over 2000 effect shots in the film. you have too much of your father‘s halved in you. —— you have too much of your father‘s heart in you. it took almost a year to get to the final look of snoke. we started to paint textures and build the internal controls and anatomy of the character.

and then as the editors, rian and bob, were working together, they brought together the sequences only using andy's they brought together the sequences only using andy's reference, and he had this incredible, powerful performance, a resonate voice. closer, i said... young fool! the bombing run was in the original script, was exactly as you saw it in the film. we did bid how to execute the bombing run with a practical pyrotechnics and everything. and the scheduling and cost of that was too prohibitive. the important thing to me is, when working with a director like rian, is that we can make our cg look like any particular style. we can make it look like anything. balsa wood model, a cg ship — we have that control over the way we can render things now. after a time, rian became confident

in what we could do. actually, it was a liberation. we could achieve anything in the explosions and pyrotechnics we achieved in the bombing run has pushed us to a new level. i think our contribution to film is getting more and more invisible in certain cases. but when they are not invisible, because you know they cannot be real, they are getting more believable. globally, the visual effects techniques are so advanced now that it is now important to good story and it is important that the story has good ideas and greater challenges that push us to create visuals that have never been seen before. that‘s it for the short cut of click this week. the long version is up on iplayer right now. we are on facebook and twitter.
