revealed he was murdered, killed by compression to the next. unusually counterterrorism police are leading the —— investigation because of mr glushkov‘s past weeks. in the 90s he was the director of russian airline aeroflot, but sought political asylu m aeroflot, but sought political asylum in the uk and was still being sued by russia. he was friends with russian businessmen boris berezovsky who was found dead in 2013. an open verdict was recorded but mr glushkov believed he had been murdered. some observers believe it is time to join the dots. mr glushkov's death fits into a wider pattern of the last 12 yea rs of into a wider pattern of the last 12 years of russian opponents dropping dead across europe. the consequences for the kremlin of this were limited to far too long, the uk response as

recently been much stronger, but there are still awful lot we could do. the former pr executive, lord bell, a friend of mr glushkov has told the bbc he suspects he was killed after being deemed a traitor by the russian state. police say that at present there is no link between the murder in london and the poisoning of sergei skripal and his daughter in salisbury. but some russian exiles are being contacted about their safety. our reporterjohn mcmanus is outside the russian embassy this morning. john, what's the latest? tell us more about the discussions that police are having with russian exiles? they have gone to want some russian x—files to talk to them about their safety, they say there is not a definite danger to them but they want to make them aware that there may be things going on. that there may be things going on. that the dramatic row regarding what happened to sergei skripal and his daughter in salsbury is still continuing as well. they were

poisoned using a nerve agent on the fourth of march, they are both still critically ill and the prime minister theresa may is pointing the finger very firmly at russia. she says that 23 russian diplomats in the embassy based in the building behind me will have to leave britain as part of britain's retaliation. the war of words since begetting worse, you say the foreign secretary borisjohnson said it was overwhelmingly likely that the russian president vladimir putin personally ordered that attack in salsbury. the russians say that is a disgusting accusation and they are angry with boris johnson disgusting accusation and they are angry with borisjohnson to making it. they will also probably expels some british diplomats at some point from russia. that could happen at any point, and they said they are also going to have their own investigation into what happened to sergei skripal. these investigations at the moment between britain and russia are at a very low point, and it could carry on like this the sometime to come. thank you very much. police have launched a murder investigation after two women were shot and killed

at a house in east sussex. officers were called to an address in st leonards—on—sea last night. a man has been arrested. marta newman's report contains some flashing images. officers responded immediately when they got a report of a shooting at a house at around 8pm last night. the road in this seaside town was closed and local residents were asked to stay away from the area and remain indoors. police say two women aged 32 and 53 were killed. two other women including one who is pregnant we re women including one who is pregnant were led to safety by officers and taken to hospital. both were uninjured but suffering from shock. a 35—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. he remains in custody for questioning. police have said that it is were known to the suspect and that they are not looking for anyone else in

connection with the shooting. the former deputy director of the fbi, andrew mccabe, has been fired just hours before he was due to formally retire. mr mccabe had faced repeated criticism from president trump. in a statement he said his sacking had been politically motivated and claimed it was part of a wider effort to taint the fbi and intelligence professionals. the number of hospital admissions due to older people falling is expected to rise to nearly 1,000 a day by the end of the decade. that's according to figures obtained by the local government association. it's prompted calls for more funding for adult social care. after a fall if someone does not recover fully they are housebound, they may need to be provided with home help, meals on wheels, and it can also have wider impacts on health, and it is often a case that when a person has a serious fall it is one of the things that's liberate —— precipitate the slickly slope of them becoming housebound. ——

slippery slope. more than 100 flights to and from heathrow have been cancelled ahead of predicted bad weather dubbed "the mini beast from the east." the met office has issued an amber warning for snow and ice in much of england and parts of scotland ahead of another cold snap. highways england is advising motorists to avoid trans—pennine roads. tens of thousands of people have been fleeing the northern syrian town of afrin, as turkish forces fight a us—backed kurdish militia that it considers a terrorist group. the un estimates that almost 50,000 people have been displaced in the last few days, with reports from the area that dozens of people were killed in air strikes on friday. at least eight people have been injured after a faulty ski lift threw people from their seats at a mountain resort in georgia. skiers and snowboarders were flung off at speed, and others were forced to jump from the chairlift as their seats hurtled backwards down the mountain. so far no cause has been given as to what caused it to malfunction.

nest in the weather system, pushing southwards, rein in it but it will turn into sleet and snow. it is the showers following that we are concerned about as we go through the day, hence the amber warning. there will be some brightness in the north of scotla nd will be some brightness in the north of scotland but very little sunshine, it will be cloudy and will feel cold without the strength of march sunshine. temperatures are a lot lower tha n march sunshine. temperatures are a lot lower than they have been this week, perhaps 6—8 in the south—west because we are getting on to the mother —— rather mild start. —6 and -7' mother —— rather mild start. —6 and —7, the windchill, a real shock after what we have had full top the amberwarning, we are after what we have had full top the amber warning, we are concerned about the killer areas, from the met office the north—east of england. through the top of england and through the thames valley, and overnight we're concerned about a widespread area of slow coming across southern england in the south of wales. really quite a lot to keep

your eye naturally, if you have players that today, don't make this loss forecast c. it is this easterly wind that is bringing the snow but we could have something more significant drifting up from the south across the southern half of the country, and there is a lot of uncertainty as to exactly where and how much we will see premat. through the evening and overnight we keep this easterly wind going, some areas could see snow showers, because the error is so cold it will settle and thenit error is so cold it will settle and then it comes together to form a widespread area so we could see some fairly significant snow in southern areas. that could cause some disruption is. it is blowing the snow around, and clearly with the sort of temperatures is going to be icy as well, the fact that we have snow in the forecast. we are bringing back winter if you like. as we go through sunday that initial snow clears out of the way but it will take some time, fewer showers and ugly for scotland and northern ireland as we see the high—pressure

sinking in, nevertheless it is not going to be very warm, it will be significantly cold day in the south with that windchill. the main message from this forecast is that it is much colder this weekend, today we have some major rugby matches on the way and in the mornings —— warnings which kick in from the mid—afternoon, amber warnings for snow. do stagings to local radio and our weather website will have more updates. how much colder is that we are expecting for this time of year, we are well into spring this time of year, we are well into s . this time of year, we are well into spring now? the strength of the sun, if you're out there in the sunshine you start to feel its effects. so without that today it will feel even colder. the average around this time of year would be double figures across of year would be double figures a cross m ost of year would be double figures across most of the country. what we have seen this week is probably more akin to what we should see, this is akin to what we should see, this is a dramatic drop. but that is not unusual in march to see snow, we see snow as late as june

unusual in march to see snow, we see snow as late asjune here in the uk. that is not predict that. i'm not saying that. it is not that unusual to see topsy—turvy weather at this time of year, because some are isn't —— because you get the cold air in from the arctic, and we are likely to see some snow. britain's department stores used to be the height of luxury and service. if you needed anything from clothing to electricals or food, they were the place to go. but today, they face fierce competition in all categories, as online retailers offer everything a customer wants at the click of a button. radio 4's consumer reporter samantha fenwick has been finding out how department stores are fighting back. george davies has been called a cereal brand creator, a fashion visionary, the king of the high street. they are very abba, these,

aren't they? yes, very abba. i was too young to remember abba. he was the man behind capi, and m&s. when we started, there were 400 stores. by we started, there were 400 stores. by the time ago to the 1990s, when i starting george and asda, i already knew parking was a real problem. so you could see that there was at that point decline in the high street. yes, sure. it was obvious. george left m&s in 2008, vowing never to return to the high street. he said it was no longer a place to make money. ten years on and he has changed his mind. his new line of women's and children's clothing will be in the shops next week. so why the change of heart? rents are high, business rates are high, but dealers own a lot of their properties. probably 70% they own it, so that

ta kes probably 70% they own it, so that takes quite a high risk out of it. but not all department stores are that lucky. this is london's oxford street. it is where all the big names have their flagship stores. but the buildings are big, with too much unprofitable space. house of fraser have asked their landlords to reduce their rent, and the likes of debenhams and marks & spencer ‘s are closing stores completely. costs are going up for retailers, and shoppers wa nt to going up for retailers, and shoppers want to go online because it offers convenience. they can get the lowest prices, and they get the lowest prices, and they get the lowest prices because those operators don't have the same kind of costs as a physical store. the government is concerned about the state of the uk's high street. it has just set up a special panel to investigate how best to adapt to that changes in the wa ke we best to adapt to that changes in the wake we shop. it is being led by richard penny cook, the chairman of department store fenech. department stores are about theatre and service, and those are things that can't be replicated online. so i

think there is a really good future for department stores, but it is all about making sure that we are providing something different, which makes the visit worthwhile —— fenwick. it will have to be something very different to get us off the internet and into the high street. we will be back with the headlines at 6:30am. now it is time for the film review, with jane hill and jason solomons. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. good to see you, jason. what have you been watching? this week, we'll go to raiding and cliffhanging with the new lara croft in tomb raider. look at the meaning of art and find our inner ape in swedish satire the square. and we dip into biblical times

for the real story of mary magdalen, as played by rooney mara, opposite joaquin phoenix as jesus. what a mixture! tomb raider is back. did they need to remake this? well, it wasn't very good the first time! often they do remakes of things that are really good and you think, ‘why have they ruined it'? but they may be trying to get this right, because angelina jolie's lara croft has dated terribly — the effects are bad and it was never quite right. tomb raider was sort of a teenage fever dream for many boys who used to play that as a game when it was early computer games, and they've now changed the whole figure of lara croft for this new actress, who i happen to think is fantastic. she's beautiful, gorgeous, and she has got this strength to her and balletic, which she needs, because she has done a lot of running in this movie. she is slumming it in shoreditch when we start this, but then we find out she is the daughter

of a billionaire, who is played in a flashback. she has to go and sign the papers which means that she will inherit his fortune. that was dad's? yes, miss croft. according to his will, i was supposed to give it to you. and, technically speaking, you are meant to sign the papers first. i could never understand your father's obsession with those things. i can't believe how many of those were lying around the house. there's got to be some purpose to it. the first letter from my final destination. but he didn't leave a letter.

well, they've got all the great british actors in there as well. they've lined them all up! they are only in it for a bit, i have to say — for the money, i think! she goes off on her quest — this is a quest movie. she goes hunting with clues that her father has left her. these riddles, which you might start off solving them yourself in your head — but don't bother, because they don't make any sense, really! it's just another level of the game that she goes to. she goes to hong kong, and then she is pursued, which is all very good, then she has to go to a remote japanese island on a ship, and survive a storm, going down a waterfall and solving another puzzle. she does a lot ofjumping and then

she does a lot of dangling. laughter. you know, it's a bit krypton factor! considering the indignities heaped upon her and ridiculous scenarios thrown at her, i was mesmerised by how brilliant she is at this. she brings a balletic strength to it. she's got great abs, fantastic skills with a bow and arrow, and she's far, far better than the film she is in. i wondered whether you were getting to that. she is great, but is it worth seeing apart from her? it's very kinetic, the best i can say for it is it keeps hurling stuff at poor alicia vikander. but the climatic tomb raid is almost laughable — it looks like something that you get on the back of the cereal packet! it's like, is that what this has all been about?! maybe there will be more tomb raiders and maybe they will get them better! they will keep trying. i'm loving the sound of the next

one, it sounds intriguing. it won the palm d'or at cannes, and has taken a year to get here, but it was nominated as best foreign—language film at the baftas. much of it was not in swedish. elisabeth moss is in this. it features one of the great scenes of the year, which we are seeing here. an american actor comes in as an artist. it is an art world satire. this is an art gallery benefit dinner. he comes in to do a performance piece, but takes it far too far. here he is kind of goading dominic west. it's about finding art in that era. it's a satire on the art world. art that can be dated, what's the point of art, is it ridiculous? this is about modern art. it's about the curator of this gallery that we're seeing here.

he loses his mobile phone, and his life completely falls apart and unravels. it really is a sort of film predicated on that. is that in the category of ‘first—world problems?'! it is very much about white male privilege and what it is to be a man in the privileged world. like, here they are in their black ties, and he is an artist. this scene goes on for 11 minutes, and you can't stop watching. it's extraordinary, but you don't go how to react to it. it's all about, what would you do in that situation? it keeps throwing moral quandaries at you. it's very funny, but also very thought—provoking, perhaps a bit too thought—provoking, like the monkey poking dominic west in the ear. you have been to see mary magdalen as well. it's easter coming up, time for a passion story. this is reported to tell for the first time the story of mary magdalen, who has been cast as a prostitute since pope gregory in 591 declared that she was a prostitute,

which is apparently wrong — she wasn't. this film aims to correct that and show the jesus story through the eyes of the only female disciple, mary magdalen, played by rooney mara, who leaves her fishing village and follows the son of god. mary. each of you stand at the threshold. do you fear that you will never reach the kingdom? whose kingdom? you know as well as i do, there's only one true kingdom. and that is god.

and god's kingdom has taken root. so we must prepare. we must wash away the stains of your corruption. and be born anew. like children. i have been hidden for too long. i'm not sure what to say about that! you can see why her father would be upset if she went to follow him, this kind of hairy bloke who's really boring! whatever you think about the bible, there's no denying it's got some great lines in it. why this film hasn't got any of them is a mystery to me. it is extraordinarily dull. is it a long couple of hours? absolutely so dull you would not believe it! it even looks dull, it has got this tablecloth fashion with the stones everywhere in the desert.

at one stage it was the greatest story ever told, when it was in hollywood, now it's just the most boring story ever told. it's extraordinary what it does, trying to rectify it and make it a story for a new age, kind of a story for everyone — it won't offend catholics, christians, jews, muslims or even atheists. is it trying to be too careful, is that part of the problem? it is trying to tiptoe over any heresy. people boycotted martin scorcese's film. any film that makes you cry for mel gibson has got it wrong! it also makes you think of monty python all the time! there are scenes when people are going, ‘messiah, messiah‘! you know what, he's not the messiah! i do wish you'd say what you really think, jason! so that's a long two hours, and we'll leave it at that! i don't think this will make a lot of money at the box office, either. i think faith—based audiences

will go and be completely mystified as to what this was about. it is a passion of the christ without any passion. what should we be going to see? you've got to see black panther. and you've got to see it now at the cinema. it is becoming a cultural event — people are seeing it four or five times, it has broken records at the box office, it is changing the way that audiences are going, black audiences are flocking to it, families are enjoying the representation. it is a great superhero movie, it's sexy, it's exciting, it's funny. people are hollering at it in the cinema. if you haven't been to a marvel movie in the cinema, this is the one to go and see. and dvd of the week is also so lovely. i will admit, i cried at paddington 2! but it's a delight, it's an absolute sweet, delightful, charming, sometimes silly, butjust lovely, lovely, lovely.

beautifully done... he is in his little outfits, wondering around. paddington didn't win best british film at the baftas, that went to three billboards. this is one of the best british films we've ever made. and how good is hugh grant?! he's fantastic! he is. and sally hawkins is great in it, the whole brown family, the whole look of it is perfect. it's a work of genius, paddington two. and when did you cry?! i cried at the end! i'm not going to give anything away for anyone who hasn't been to see it. if you want a marmalade sandwich, you can't have one! it's very sweet, wonderful. a mixed week, but an interesting one. jason, good to see you, thank you. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema—going and your dvd watching. it's terrific, honestly! thanks for being with us. goodbye.

working at the home of 68—year—old nikolai glushkov, who was found dead on monday. but police say at this stage, it is not being connected to the poisoning of former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter in salisbury. john mcmanus reports. 68—year—old nikolai glushkov, found dead at his home on this unassuming road in south—west london on monday. but mr glushkov's life was anything but ordinary. the post mortem has revealed

he was murdered, killed by compression to the neck. unusually counterterrorism police are leading the investigation because of mr glushkov's past links. in the 19905 he was the director of russian airline aeroflot, but was jailed after being found guilty of fraud and money—laundering. he sought political asylum in the uk and was still being sued by russia. he was friends with russian businessmen boris berezovsky who was found hanged in 2013. an open verdict was recorded but mr glushkov believed he had been murdered. the deaths of 14 other russians who died in the uk in what may be suspicious circumstances are being re—examined. some observers believe it is time to join the dots. mr glushkov's death fits into a wider pattern of the last 12 years of kremlin opponents dropping dead across europe. the consequences for the kremlin

of this were limited to far too long. the uk response has recently been much stronger, but there is still awful lot we could do. the former pr executive, lord bell, a friend of mr glushkov, has told the bbc he suspects he was killed after being deemed a traitor by the russian state. police say that at present there is no link between the murder in london and the poisoning of sergei skripal and his daughter in salisbury. but some russian exiles are being contacted about their safety. police have launched a murder investigation after two women were shot and killed at a house in east sussex. officers were called to an address in st leonards—on—sea last night. a man has been arrested. the victims were known to the suspect, police they are not for anyone else in connection to the

shooting. more than 100 flights to and from heathrow have been cancelled youtube bad weather. drivers are being asked to avoid trans pennine roads. the former deputy director of the fbi, andrew mccabe, has been dramatically fired, just hours before he was due to formally retire. mr mccabe said his sacking had been politically motivated, and claimed it was part of a wider effort to taint the fbi and discredit the intelligence community. mr trump tweeted it had been a "great day for democracy". the number of hospital admissions due to older people falling is expected to rise to nearly 1,000 a day by the end of the decade. that's according to figures obtained by the local government association. it's prompted calls for more funding for adult social care. it might have been panned by some critics, but huthackman's movie musical ‘the greatest showman' continues to dominate the cinema and music charts — sitting at the top of the uk album chart for ten weeks.

the film is loosely based on the life of circus impresario pt barnum — aka the greatest showman. the only other album that's managed to spend longer at the top spot in the uk in the last 30 years is adele's 21, which managed 11 weeks at the top. those are the main story this morning. that film is like a crabby film, which is why it has been so popular, because so many people have just thought, i don't want any more misery, ijust just thought, i don't want any more misery, i just want just thought, i don't want any more misery, ijust want happiness. and there will be some great happiness today in the rugby, if this colour comes out on top. what a st patrick's day that would be. ireland face england at twickenham, normally a fortress for eddie jones' side — but they've had their problems throughout

the tournament, asjoe wilson reports. twickenham on friday revealed the seats, they always green not for st patrick's day. but here ireland six since nations perfection. first they beat france. lastgasp in paris. the second win was against italy. next wales were beaten in dublin. four more tries beat scotland which leaves just england, five wins and a grandslam. everyone is aware of the significance it has four irish rugby in this group of players, but there is nervous in this group of players, but there is nervous energy in this group of players, but there is nervous energy but it is very exciting. ireland did the grandslam nine years ago by the early other time they achieved this feat was 1948. there was no commentary, ireland in grave. if ireland are

here to try and make history, england are certainly trying to find a future. coach eddiejones week apologising about a leadership speech filmed last year when he ba ntered about island speech filmed last year when he bantered about island being "scummy". he has made radical changes to his team to play ireland, often selections speak louder than words. any team that wins 11 games ina row words. any team that wins 11 games in a row are worthy champions of the six nations. we are very respectful of them, they have weakness like any team. england's weaknesses have been starkly exposed in two consecutive defeats. eddiejones starkly exposed in two consecutive defeats. eddie jones has starkly exposed in two consecutive defeats. eddiejones has never lost with england at twickenham and that is part of the fascination tomorrow. tickets offered for crazy sums, grandslam seats a grand each. england's women ended their six nations with victory over ireland — but they finished runners up to france. it finished 33—11 to england at the ricoh arena — danielle waterman becoming the nation's leading try—scorer with 47 — she's nowjust two tries short of rory underwood's overall england record.

france took the title with victory over wales. medals have proved elusive for great britain on the penultimate day of competition at the winter paralympics. let's go over to pyeongchang now, and our reporter kate grey — bring us up to date, kate. it has been a quiet day for great britain on the eighth day of action here in pyeongchang, just to make this athlete in action. james whitley went in the standing slalom in the alpine skiing, he finished 10th in the end in what was a very tough course and a very competitive category with lots of mistakes made by athletes higher up than him, but he could not quite improved on his performance, finishing 10th, but it is his best performance at the paralympic games, he did compete at in sochi where he finished 14th and 15. an improvement but no medals for the 20—year—old. great britain also had an athlete over at the

cross—country skiing, he went in the 7.5 kilometre race. he came to these gamesjust hoping 7.5 kilometre race. he came to these games just hoping to 7.5 kilometre race. he came to these gamesjust hoping to gain 7.5 kilometre race. he came to these games just hoping to gain some experience, he only got into the sport 18 months ago and hoping to make it to the beijing 2022 games. and he finished 14th today, so great experience for him, who will be hoping to improve in his next games. there was gold for south korea in that event, the first time south korea have won a paralympic gold, a great result for the home nation here and date to get a gold medal. lots of mixed emotions, great britain, the visually impaired women will go in the slalom where great britain will have their last attempt at winning a medal. thank you very much. if you thought you had seen it all from jose marino, you are wrong. he gave a 12 minute answer his press

conference yesterday defending manchester united ‘s mac shop exit in the champions league. here is just a snippet of this rant.|j in the champions league. here is just a snippet of this rant. i am not going to cry, because i heard a bit of building, i am not going to disappear, when i was 20 years old i was nobody in football, and now at 505i was nobody in football, and now at 505! am what i am, i did what i did, because of work, because of my talent and because of my mentality. i could be in another country with the league in the pocket, the kind of lead you win even before the league starts, but i am here. he is the kind of many wouldn't interrupt, you are just let it go. tv gold. could you imagine interrupting him, you would not want to do it. it was a frustrating evening

for hibernian as they missed the chance to go third in the scottish premiership. hibs went ahead in the second minute, had their keeper sent off not long after, and held out until the final stages when chris kane equalised for stjohnstone. we'll see video assistant referees used at this summer's world cup in russia after fifa approved the controversial system. it's been trialled in the fa cup this season but has been criticised by many for taking too long and being overused. it allows referees to consult an official with access to video replays in order to make key decisions. the cheltenham gold cup is one of the biggest racing events of the year — and we got a contest which lived up to that billing. it was, literally, a two horse race with native river holding off the favourite might bite. that gave jockey richard johnson his second gold cup triump — and a first for trainer

colin tizzard. and it seems that kevin pietersen might have finally hung up his bat. he tweeted ‘boots up. thank you' after playing for quetta gladiators in the pakistan super league. the former england captain had indicated the tournament would be his last. the second of our commonwealth games previews. last week michael went to meet the youngest game —— youngest‘s athlete, what11—year—old tennis player, and this week he has been to meet one of the oldest. david calvert from northern ireland. he's heading to his 11th games to compete in the highest calibre shooting event, full bore rifle. before he left mike joined david and his partner in surrey — although it was more like siberia. he is arguably the best in the world

will stop you a matter target which could be 900 metres away. a little black. on the horizon, a bull's—eye the size of a dinner plate, and yet conditions more aching to siberia, david calvert—jones now in his 60s, is going to his 11 commonwealth games, will hit 99% of the time. is going to his 11 commonwealth games, will hit 99% of the timem isa games, will hit 99% of the timem is a sport that you can start in your teens and continue well past normal retirement age, you can compete and be competitive the decades. it is the challenge of the wind effect and also the skills of firing a good shot. there is a crack, you see the splash of the sound can you feel the buzz in the target, you pull it down, it could bea target, you pull it down, it could be a stomach muscles. give it another push, and at this point there would be another hole in the target. the maximum possible score

in the individual commonwealth game event is 405 points. david scored 404 to set the record. wow. david is used to being carried to the podium, as is the tradition in fullbore rifle shooting, having won four commonwealth golds for his native northern ireland and four bronze. commonwealth golds for his native northern ireland and four bronzem is regarded as a blue—ribbon event by quite a few in the sport of shooting, partly because of the heritage colour is where it all started back in 1860, with the award of the queens prize by queen victoria. never been that co mforta ble victoria. never been that comfortable around large bangs but what worried me most as i was invited to take a shot in this high calibre sport is how far the bullet can travel in that wind. fresh winds today would blow the bullet by ten feet. it is why in pairs you rely on your partner to help you line up your partner to help you line up your shots. line up the sites...

take your time. it is all about mental strength under pressure. ready when you are. to squeeze gently. you do feel a slight, once it is pushing to your shoulder, the whole body takes it. the shop that is showing is a simple bull's—eye. i would stop while you are ahead. is showing is a simple bull's—eye. i would stop while you are aheadlj will leave it there, to 25—year—old jack alexander to partner david at the commonwealth games. privilege to shoot alongside david, and are not many people in the game who would be at the top of their game for as long as david had, he is passing on his knowledge and enjoys me doing well as well. all that jack and david are aiming for now is a commonwealth golds. that is amazing, isn't it? it is

such a precision game, but also in the cold, which won't be a problem in australia! 900 metres, i hope there was nothing behind the target when he was shooting. everyone was giving him a very wide earth. and mike is looking forward to... is he going out? he will be at the commonwealth games for the duration of the games, starting in two weeks because time. —— two weeks' time. the mini beast from the east is what we have been told about, and some really low temperatures. it will feel very cold for the next couple of days. here is helen willetts with a look at this morning's weather. a real shock to the system, because

yesterday it felt so mild across the central half of the country. today will be 10 degrees down, and we are concerning ourselves with ice from the morning and slow as we go through the day to day will out from the weather office, much more detail on the website. i will try and take you through it. the high pressure across scandinavia is sinking southwards, allowing the mini beast from the east, pushing the cold air, the siberian air back across the country. we also have weather fronts to complicated, so the weather front sinking southwards through the midlands and east anglia at the moment. as a drift south it will turn progressively to snow, light snow initially. showers following across the north—east of england, the midlands, and later the south and east, causing concern. that is where we have the amber warnings. it is cold out there, and it will be bitterly cold today because of the strength of the wind. it will feel like -6 strength of the wind. it will feel like —6 minus seven. the fewest showers across northern ireland in

the western fringes of scotland, england in particular, perhaps north—west england as well. let's focus on the amber warnings. we are concerned for several centimetres building up across parts of lincolnshire, yorkshire, right across the north midlands, possibly as far west is north wales. those showers will keep going, and across the south—east of england, during the south—east of england, during the day and overnight. overnight as well is the added complication of a longer spell of rain across southern england and south wales. those are the main areas concerned, but we could see snow showers just about anywhere and we could see rather icy conditions where that snow has fallen. through the evening and overnight you can see the snow showers continuing to feed in on strong to gale force winds. here is the more significant is no potentially in the south. big question marks as to how large that area will be, how far north and west it will go. it will be bitterly cold a nyway it will go. it will be bitterly cold anyway tonight, so where we have

seen any anyway tonight, so where we have seen any rain, sleet was no, it will turn quite icy. we could wake up to a covering of snow across many southern areas, more so a covering of snow across many southern areas, more so across a covering of snow across many southern areas, more so across the central lowlands overnight and at first tomorrow. i think we have a few showers continuing, another really cold day. where we have had this know it will be lying around because of that strong to gale force winds, and temperatures will again reach above freezing. but he added on effect of the wind, it will feel bitterly cold. it will probablyjust be small, a mini beast from the east, because we start to cut off this easily feared is we go into next week. and instead we pull in a northerly. that is not that much warmer, but it cuts off the really bitterly cold air from siberia. warmer, but it cuts off the really bitterly cold airfrom siberia. i will keep you updated through the morning. thank you very much, we will see you later. we will be back with the headlines at 7:00am. now it's time for click, and the team are looking at how technology could transform the health service. for almost 70 years,

the uk's national health service has been a free service at the point of care. but that model is under strain as the population ages and chronic health conditions increase while resources shrink. a recent study by the royal college of physicians showed that almost two thirds of doctors think that patient safety has deteriorated with one doctor saying we are not robots. we are human staff with limits. should the nhs turn to robots to ease the strain on human staff? jane has been looking at how data driven technology could transform care in the nhs. could artificial intelligence help save the nhs? more people are looking at innovative ways to ease the workload of doctors and nurses. computer programmes can rapidly analyse huge quantities

of information in ways that humans do not have the time nor brain capacity to do. in 2016, click filmed google's deep mind at moorfield's eye hospital. they were developing an algorithm to identify abnormalities in eye scans. i am going to see three other projects integrating ai and data collection for monitoring, automation and decreasing waiting times. dementia is now the leading cause of death in the uk. at the manor hospital in coventry, software is being tested to remotely monitor patients on the dementia ward. this is one of the rooms on the ward. it looks like any other hospital room except in this one there are two infrared illuminators and an optical sensor monitoring my movements including when i'm asleep. oxehealth uses a standard digital camera and the tongue—twisting science of photoplethysmography. every time your heart beats,

your skin briefly flashes red. we can not see this but the sensor in the camera can detect these so—called microblushes. it even picks up my vital signs when i am hiding under a table in the room as those microblushes can still be seen on my arm. there is an alert if i leave my bed. and the nurse can click on a live feed to see what is happening and determine whether they need to come and check on me right away. for the staff, initially, when it looked like we had a camera in a box in a room, they were not happy about it. but when we spent some time with oxehealth, they explained to them and they see how it works, they love it. they love the fact it gives you an extra... an extra support. the project is in the pilot stage and is awaiting medical certification. the data collected is being analysed remotely by a team in oxford and will be used to train the programme to be more predictive. we have never had this

capability as a species, to constantly get heart rate, breathing rate, movement and routine data. there is no reason as we combine and we fuse the data using ai we cannot detect the onset of dementia or prevent it getting worse. we can detect problems early so you can stay in your own home or a comfortable setting without coming into hospital. that will save a huge amount of time. saving critical time was the motivation behind automating processes at nhs blood and transplant. 4,500 people receive a transplant each year, but 6,500 are on the list. every day, three people die waiting for a transplant. a lot of information needs to be sifted through to make life—and—death decisions. the nhs is now using public cloud technology from ibm to help maintain huge databases that used to be managed with a marker and a whiteboard. by working with some of this automated technology we can make sure we are making the best possible decisions and that our clinical

teams are thinking through the best outcomes for all of the patients on the transplant waiting list, and that our staff, who are often working until three in the morning in a high—pressure environment, needing to allocate organs quickly, they are supported by this technology. in the future, the team hopes that artificial intelligence will be able to predict how long people will be on the waiting list for an organ. there is an average waiting time of two weeks to see a doctor in the uk. this can drop to two hours if you register with gp at hand. you can sign up if you live or work within certain zones of london. you need to give up your regular practice doctor and register with gp at hand's remote surgery. 26,000 people have registered so far. i had a chance to test it out, pretending i had a case of food poisoning. first i went through a triage with a chat bot on the app who recommended i speak remotely to a real—life human doctor. the doctor recommends further care and can even send a prescription

to a pharmacy. the artificial intelligence in the app draws on billions of data points and can cross reference the latest medical research from journals and studies around the world. you use artificial intelligence to tell you whether or not to see a doctor. you are always free to see a doctor anyway but what we find is that 40% of the people who get reassured that they have everything they need, they stop there. the app has faced criticism from the royal college of gpswho say that younger users are being cherry picked for the service. nhs england lodged a formal objection to the planned rollout beyond london. whenever anybody comes up with a great, exciting idea they are desperate to see it rolled out everywhere. i would say we need to give people safe, fair and equitable care. if we roll things out too quickly without ensuring that safety and fairness, we run the risk of causing unintended harm.

so it is wise and sensible that independent evaluations are now going on of these new technologies so that people can be reassured that they are safe and they are fair for everybody. i think it is wrong. i genuinely think that slowing down what people want isjust not right. i cannot understand why people are hesitant. often it is because they are scared of new technology. they do not know what the consequences are. and that is fine. they need to check that and reassure themselves. there is nothing wrong with that. i have seen three ways companies are working with data to help with monitoring, automation and decreasing waiting times. all areas that could help an overstressed health service. could artificial intelligence help to save the nhs? it is an exciting development worldwide but never more so than in healthcare and there are certainly things a! can help as we to plough through data we already have, and provide answers to the questions we didn't even know needed answering. but let's be clear, a! will never replace person—to—person interaction.

the touch of a doctor, the looking deep into someone's eyes and recognising their physical, social and psychological make—up of the person is what matters, notjust a bleeding leg or a headache. it is much more than that and ai, it will be quite a long time before ai comes close. you think it ever will? i will be stunned if within my lifetime ai ever replaces a doctor. we are going to interrupt this broadcast with some breaking news coming into us here at the bbc. it is a world first, bbc click presenter spencer kelly has been replaced by a robot. it has been dubbed robospen and the artifical intelligence machine is apparently capable of a whole host of emotions as well as understanding and writing stories and crucially, he never forgets his lines. robospen joins the now from the factory that created him. over to you.

sounds like you said i was artificially intelligent. as a robot i am often asked to pose for photos and tv reports about al. while i am a humaoid robot, i am not intelligent. everything i am saying is written by a human. the point is, robots and ai are not the same thing. observe my articulated hands with four independent fingers powered by eight air cylinders. engineering arts has made a name for itself by making robotic performers, actors and communicators. which, according to will, is pretty much the only reason the world might need humanoid robots. humanoid robots are great for entertainment and communication, if you want something that interacts with people,

the best way to do that is to make something person—shaped. so if you think star wars, c3p0 — the robot that talks a lot, has a personality, doesn't do a lot of useful things. will and his team design and build robots here from scratch from the aluminium bones to the rubbery spines and plastic shells. while the robots they have made are more c3p0, the next wave our way into the uncanny valley. oh my goodness, it has just come to life with the eyes there. you have seen silence of the lambs, haven't you? that is very eerie, that is. if you know what i mean. will is fascinated with how the human body works and a lot of this research concentrates on making natural looking body movements that are also very quiet.

it is something that he believes might find a place in the field of prosthetics, although he says there is still a lot of work to be done. i don't have a single precision part in my body. how can i achieve this level of precision with these organic, bones and bits of mushy flesh. one of the biggest problems we have is that there is nothing as good as human muscle. so for all of this motor development that we have done, we don't come anywhere near to what a human can do. where you will see humanoid robots, you will see them in a commercial context, so you might go into a shop and you might see a robot in there that is trying to sell you something. don't worry about all the clever ai, that's really going to stay on your computer, on your smartphone, on a webpage. it's not going chase you up the stairs any time soon. that's it for the short cut of click this week.

the full version is up on iplayer. join us next week for part two of our special look at the future of work. don't forget we are on twitter at @bbcclick and on facebook too. isn't it time you were leaving? ok, we're off. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. police investigating the murder of a businessman in london begin contacting other russian exiles to discuss their personal safety in britain.
