good morning, welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and ben thompson. our headlines today: president trump visits the site of californa's deadliest wildfires, as the number killed and missing continues to rise. stand up to eu "bullies". former brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk must be prepared to walk away from negotiations with brussels. and the price of convenince, how shopping at smaller supermarket stores could leave you out of pocket. england's cricketers have wrapped up the series win in sri lanka this morning. their first there in 17 years. it will be a sunny sunday, almost uk

wide. at the clouds could be coming in. full details later and brea kfast. it's sunday the 18th of november. our top story: president trump has visited northern california to see the devastation caused by wildfires, the worst ever in the state. this morning, officials said five more bodies have been recovered bringing the total number of deaths to 76. more than twelve hundred people are still missing. our correspondent dave lee has more. this isjust a glimpse of the kind of bravery shown by those tackling california's fires. this footage was taken from a security camera outside a house in southern california. on saturday, president trump visited affected areas to see the devastation for himself. he began his trip in the north, where most of those killed by this fire have been found so far.

he was met on the tarmac by california's governor, jerry brown, and the man who will take over from him injanuary, governor—elect gavin newsom, both men who clashed publicly with the president for blaming what he said was poor forest management before offering any condolences to the dead. we're all going to work together, and we'll do a realjob. but this is very sad to see. as far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet. we're up to a certain number, but we have a lot of people that are unaccounted for. the next few days provide new challenges. those fighting the blaze are welcoming the forecast of rain, but those taking care of recovery efforts worry it could make their work even more difficult. as of tonight, the current list of unaccounted for individuals stands at 1276, which is an increase today of 265 over yesterday. that's due in large part to our continuing effort to mine the data. meanwhile, others in the state continue to suffer from dangerously poor air quality. spending the day outside, experts have said, is like smoking half a packet of cigarettes.

the former brexit secretary, dominic raab, is accusing the prime minister of failing to stand up to a bullying european union. in the sunday times, mr raab — who resigned over the draft withdrawal agreement last week — suggested britain walk away from negotiations rather than being bullied. let's speak to our political correspondent peter saull, who is in westminsterfor us. what else has mr raab been saying? it is quite an extensive article in the sunday times. that is right, the pressure being piled onto the prime minister from pressure being piled onto the prime ministerfrom the pressure being piled onto the prime minister from the man who up until thursday, was her brexit secretary. dominic rabi essentially saying that we should take a much tougher approach to the negotiations with the european union, saying that we shouldn't be bullied by brussels. interesting to note that the government's chief whip, use a

similar language of to those attempting to plot against the prime minister, saying she wouldn't be leader. you might think it was a little bit rich, these comments from dominic raab, who was in charge of it up until his resignation. he feels that the decisions have been made a above his head and if we don't yet a better deal, in his view, we should be able to walk away without any deal whatsoever. one thing that we know that the government is still hoping to resolve with the eu is the question of that post—brexit transition period, the two years or so after we leave, during which time the same rules and regulations will likely apply. this draft deal says that period can be extended, but it is not clear yet by how long. in the coming days, ahead of the eu summit next sunday, they will hope to sort that out. that is brexit as far as we know it so far, but clearly be questions about the leadership of theresa may. we've heard some mps have been submitting letters of no—confidence against

the prime minister. do we know how many? as you imagine, the newspapers this morning full of speculation about whether that man —— magic number of 48 has yet been reached. the only person that knows to shore is the chair of the backbench committee, graham brady, and for now his lips are very much sealed. what is happening this weekend is conservative mps will be going back to their local associations in their constituencies, gauging the mood, if they feel there really is a sense of anger out there, many more letters potentially could go in at the start of next week. we know that around 20 conservatives have publicly said that a have put a letter in. this tends to be quite secretive process, clearly not for some of them. for now, it is a waiting game, we may found out on monday or tuesday whether the prime minister is facing a confidence vote, but downing street are pretty confident that evenif street are pretty confident that

even if it were to come to pass, that she would win the vote. interesting times ahead, thank you for now. some of britain's biggest companies are urging the government to honour a promise to give mental health in the workplace the same status as physical health. executives from fifty companies, including royal mail, wh smith and ford, have written to theresa may, asking her to follow through on last year's manifesto pledge to update health and safety legislation. the government says it will bring forward the recommendations of an independent review. three men are in hospital after a shooting in north london. police say they were called to enfield yesterday evening, and two of the men are believed to have suffered gunshot wounds. no arrests have been made. a woman has died, and 200 other people have been injured in demonstrations against rising fuel prices in france. more than a quarter of a million people joined the protests. the price of diesel in the country has risen by around 23% over the past year, the highest level for nearly 20 years.

president trump has said the us will determine in the next few days who it thinks was behind the murder of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. there have been reports that the cia believes mr khashoggi's killing was ordered by crown prince mohammed bin salman. saudi arabia has blamed rogue intelligence agents. the actorjohn bluethall, has died at the age of 89. he was best known for playing the likable but dull parish council secretary frank pickle in the vicar of dibley. i need to hear a little bit full level, tell us where you had for brea kfast. level, tell us where you had for breakfast. toast. i need a little bit more than that, make something up, let your imagination run wild. wild, great. two pieces of toast. its star dawn french paid tribute on social media, saying: "cheeky, naughty, hilarious. bye darlin bluey." he also appeared in carry on films and worked regularly with spike

milligan. it was a terrific night of tens, as the strictly celebrities danced at blackpool's tower ballroom. faye and giovanni picked up two 10s for this ferocious paso doble, a score matched by charles and karen with their samba. joe and diane went one better picking up three 10s — but the night belonged to pasha and ashley who picked up the first full marks of the series with this jive, a dance bruno described as part of strictly history, and the rest of the judges agreed. cheering. ten! cheering.

very exciting. first four tens. to do it ata very exciting. first four tens. to do it at a pool, extra special. it is approaching ten past seven, good morning to you. could shorter degree courses be the answer to reducing student tuition fees? the government has confirmed plans to allow universities to offer two year, or "accelerated degrees". they would be allowed to charge higher fees per year but overall students would save around £5,500. professor susan edwards is from the university of buckingham which is a private university that already offers two year courses and joins us from our london newsroom. a very good morning to you. good morning. your university has been offering two—year courses for i think 40 years, what are the benefits? we certainly are the

market leader, we have the experience and we have been doing this for 40 years. the benefit, the whole question of student debt is a concern across the whole, it is concern across the whole, it is concern to us as well. the two year degree obviously uses the summer vacation which is used on the three—year degree programmes and is rather wasteful, we use this to better effect because we teach for terms each year. our students are much more focused than students over a three—year period, it is extremely disruptive to have a summer term off every year. students have difficulty reading gauging back in their studies and we are providing for the job market, students that are focused, have set their priorities and the kind of skills that they need to develop and employers have a lot of confidence in a student who has done a two year degree because they have already proven that they can actually work hard and work in a committed way. i think we have

proven as well, as a university, great success in this field. we came top of the national student survey, so top of the national student survey, so students are actually saying to us so students are actually saying to us that in fact we are doing a good job. we also came top in terms of teaching quality, which is terribly important. if universities are going to go down the route of developing two—year degrees, they must put in the resources. 0k. two—year degrees, they must put in the resources. ok. i am sure i am not speaking alone, lots of students enjoy the summer breaks and the full three—year undergraduate experience. isa three—year undergraduate experience. is a two year course taking away from that because it is about much more thanjust from that because it is about much more than just the course, it is about the university experience. more than just the course, it is about the university experiencem course it is and we provide opportunities for short holidays, opportunities for short holidays, opportunities for short holidays, opportunities for placements, opportunities for placements, opportunities for placements, opportunities for research, so stu d e nts opportunities for research, so students are certainly not being sold short. but what are the proven benefits of having 15 months, which

is what it is, out of a three—year degree? there is no research that has said that these long holiday brea ks has said that these long holiday breaks have any benefit whatsoever, in fact they disconnect students from the educative endeavour. if they want to trouble, they can have a gap year before and a gap year afterwards. the cost, the time, the opening up of the market, which the university minister's proposals will do for a wider range of students from poor backgrounds, mature stu d e nts from poor backgrounds, mature students and those who want a break from work. this will offer opportunities for them and the higher education research act has placed students very much at the centre of all this degree and educative experience and you have to listen to them. can i ask, is there a worry that this could negative effect on student learning and a loop courses. and do you think in universities across the country are

prepared to bring in two year course is? is certainly won't die loot, as i have said it will have proven it doesn't die loot in terms of our active —— reputation. it is quite clear that universities give up to three—year degrees, will not have another term of teaching, they will have to completely restructure or reorientate their institutions around this whole objective. it will cost more than the reduction in student fees that is being proposed to 11,000 year each year over two yea rs, to to 11,000 year each year over two years, to the state sector. so, £22,000 per year will not be enough, i don't then. i think anything more rethinking of the proposals, it won't be enough for the traditional three universities to recalibrate all of their programmes, their operations, in order to provide quality that we provide at the university, which i have said has already been proven over the last few years. thank you very much for

joining us this morning. it is turning cold outside. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. aley made be kowt this week. -- i will need my big kowt this week. you certainly will. we finished on a lovely note. blue skies again. more sunshine again. clear skies again. we have some mist and fog around first thing. if you're about to head onto the roads. clear skies for many. and through the latter stage of yesterday we dragged in some clearairof of yesterday we dragged in some clear air of the new continent. sun skies today. through the midlands, eastern half of scotland, the pennines, mist an cloud. patchy cloud will linger on the hills. for the vast majority of view it is sunshine from dawn until dusk. winds licensed across the coast today. it

will get stronger of the next few days. temperatures 10— 11 at best. it could hit 11 to 13 in some places. the mild air pushes all the way up to parts of iceland. 16 degrees on the north coast today. compare that to germany where there is four or five celsius for some. we get ourairfrom is four or five celsius for some. we get our airfrom theirfor is four or five celsius for some. we get our air from their for the next 24 hours. it pushes towards us on an increasingly strong wind. we will see more cloud push into eastern parts of the uk through the night. further west, it stays clearer for longest. there could be a touch of frost, particularly the highlands of scotla nd frost, particularly the highlands of scotland and maybe northern ireland. most eastern areas will be frost free, too much cloud to take us into tomorrow. more cloud around tomorrow. more cloud around tomorrow. sunny spells in between. the best of the sunshine tends to be in the west. the cloud in eastern scotla nd in the west. the cloud in eastern scotland and england will be thick

enoughin scotland and england will be thick enough in places to produce the odd rain shower. we have not got as much sunshine tomorrow, some breeze, it will feel colder as the air from northern europe pushes its way in. most in england and wales, temperatures in single figures. just about double four scotland and northern ireland. even here feeling chilly. monday night into tuesday, we continue to feed in those easterly winds, bringing more cloud. an increasing chance of showers were to stay. some such an in between. the greatest as the showers will be northern england, north wales, in the southern counties of england, particularly persistent ones for the channel islands will stop is across england and wales we are most likely to see snow mixed in with those showers are the hills. that is because daytime temperatures, on the per monitors at least, 6— eight degrees for most of you. and with the effect of the wind it will feel closer to freezing. particularly for england and wales. you will need your big jacket next week. you certainly will. just to confirm that here are the capital city outlooks.

it is turning cloudy at times for this coming week and a good deal colder. back to you. thank you very much. it will fill a pleasant but these are the right averages for this time of year. to be fair, it is november —— it will feel unpleasant. they're meant to be quick and convenient, but could shopping at smaller stores owned by britain's best—known supermarket brands be costing us more? a survey carried out for the bbc‘s inside out programme found customers are paying much higher prices for exactly the same products in smaller outlets compared to the larger supermarkets. jonathan gibson explains. more and more of us are shopping in convenience stores. they now account for a quarter of the grocery market. but are we paying over the odds in the small shops run by britain's biggest supermarkets? maggie, a birmingham pensioner, goes to tesco

express twice a week. birmingham pensioner, goes to tesco express twice a weeklj birmingham pensioner, goes to tesco express twice a week. i think you would expect to pay a bit more. you buy quite a few bananas, don't you? well, a single banana in tesco express is going to cost you 14p more. for one? for one banana. gosh. i know i —— where i will get my bananas from from now on. that got me thinking. if they cost so much more in tesco's nvidia stores than in their own supermarkets, then do other things cost more as well and what about tesco's rivals? —— convenience stores. the bbc can bet the cost of 50 items in convenience tours run by tesco and waitrose with the same as what they cost in the same chain convenience tours. 39 of the 50 products in tesco express cost more than they did in a tesco supermarket. in sainsbury‘s local, little waitress, and m&s simply food, 45 of the 50 products cost

more than in the larger stores. —— little waitrose. but by how much? there were big differences across fruit and veg, in toiletries, and store cupboard ingredients. this kit, for example, cost 20% more in sainsbury‘s local than in a sainsbury‘s local than in a sainsbury supermarket. overall, our survey found that prices in little waitrose were just short of 5.5% more expensive. in sainsbury‘s local, tesco express, and m&s simply food is the average difference was between 8— 9%. in statements, the supermarkets told the bbc higher prices reflect higher running costs. without commenting on any specific retailer, generally there are a lot more cost is going into maintaining and running a store like this. that would agree is why you see the price difference. as for maggie, she is doing more of a shopping online. but when stop using convenience stores completely. i think i will still have to go for the odd banana. they

might be dear, but they are also near. and that is the cost of convenience. jonathan gibson, bbc news. viewers in the west midlands can see more on this on inside out on bbc one tomorrow at 7:30pm. the programme will be available nationally on the bbc iplayer shortly afterwards. it is 7:20 a.m.. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. technology expert dan sodergren is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to dan in a minute. good morning. nice to see you. first let's look at the front pages. it is all brexit. the former brexit secretary dominic raab has been writing in the sunday times and says theresa may has allowed britain to be ‘blackmailed and bullied' by brussels. the sunday telegraph is also featuring brexit on the front page, revealing that mp zac goldsmith has submitted a letter of no confidence in the prime minister. we will do it the old—fashioned way.

i have got the sunday mirror. no one can tell. and the sunday mirror leads on a mother—of—three who took her own life after her daughter claims she was chased by the nhs for prescription fees. the star have an exclusive on princess kate dolls that have been seized at customs. the toys were prevented from coming to the uk because they contained banned chemicals. good morning. we do have the stories you picked out. and we have you. a good start. that's fine. that didn't work a minute ago. this does. good old—fashioned holding up the story you have picked out. tell us about

it. there is a classic about technology taking of the world. this isa technology taking of the world. this is a toy that could potentially spy on children. it listens to your child. as it is learning about them it learns their likes and dislikes and all sorts of other things. it is and all sorts of other things. it is a 11011“ and all sorts of other things. it is a non— profit. they were thinking —— is worth thinking about this christmas, the clever stuff of technology in there, could be doing something you don't like from a privacy point of view? and doublecheck that these things are not snooping on you more than you would like. i like you have had time to delve inside the supplements as well. this is rare. if in the times magazine. parenting tips for silicon valley. —— this is in. magazine. parenting tips for silicon valley. -- this is in. the people behind the scenes who have created these companies, steve jobs and others, there is a bit of a backlash and they are saying we should not have loads of technology and certainly family shouldn't. they looking at their children saying maybe they should not have smart phones, at

maybe they should not have smart phones, et cetera. even to the ages of 13 or 14. my daughter who is eight will be gutted. sorry, no phone for you for some time. some of these are practical, which is great. band screens if it is too late, limit how long people are on them. by limit how long people are on them. by your phone a bed. it's as miniature beds that come with sheep and duvets to tuck your device in for the night. —— sheets. and duvets to tuck your device in for the night. -- sheets. that might bea for the night. -- sheets. that might be a silicon valley one and not one for everyone. there is another nice one that is more sensible. it is about routers and other things. make sure you have parental controls on those. you need to be more digitally savvy and make sure kids don't always have the stuff. it is about acknowledging it is here to stay and there is no getting away from that. about having a healthier relationship. this is applicable to all of us. let i think it is in france where they have bandabi smart phone until you are 15 in schools.

it is not a bad idea —— band smartphones. it is worrying when you have these bosses at silicon valley who are coming up this technology and let their kids use it. here is another one. they are suggesting that schools and some pupils and families go on a self—reliance trip where they are dropped in a remote patch of wilderness left to build their own shelters and find a way home with no money or technology stock would i am not saying that is the case. i was not saying that. they may have taken it a little far that side of it. the idea of not having so much technology is no bad thing. i quite like the technology thing. i quite like the technology thing this morning. this is out of the telegraph's money section. amazon are hiring experts for a home robot. i am a technology expert, i do social media star, but i think sometimes we go too far. the new plan to create a home robot that

continually listens to you, might be too far. amazon high as expert for secret, not particularly secretive it is in the paper —— eyes. secret, not particularly secretive it is in the paper -- eyes. maybe the robot was listening in to the plan. there are all these worries, all these devices we put into our homes, they are great because they make things easier, but they come at a cost. i think what we often forget is that it is a trade. we get the services for free, we are actually paying for them. it is a faustian pact. it is free but you are the product. you have got to look at the data collecting. maybe we will look back at this time and think we gave them too much power. i am certainly not here to bite the hand that feeds me. where is the line in your household? what smart devices to use? i don't have the secret robot. i don't have one of those home assistance. why is that? i think it is we that they continually listen to you. i don't think that is right.

ido to you. i don't think that is right. i do get told off a lot in my family. this christmas it might all change. not for me. i am not buying one. amazon is particularly good at this sort of stuff. you have to be maybe a bit more careful. let us talk about black friday. high street lose out on black friday. is that coming up next friday? it will be a little earlier this year for different reasons. amazon only brought it across seven years ago, it does not feel like seven years ago. the sort of money that has brought on that day, during the week ata summit brought on that day, during the week at a summit like 10 billion. most of it will be digital as well.|j noticed this year as well a lot of retailers calling a black november. this is their idea to push it back and back and back. they want to spread out there so that makes themselves. -- sprout themselves. copies are doing very well out of it. -- copies are doing very well out of it. —— companies. this technology doing really well, if that is the

case, but what about the high straight and retailers? there is a decline in footfall anyway. and they say because of the time of the month it falls, the cadee third of november, people have not been paid so november, people have not been paid so it encourages them to spend on their credit card —— november 20 three. i am not going to touch that. a quick word about this story in the express. the timetable. it isjust next to that. thank you. express. the timetable. it isjust next to that. thank youlj express. the timetable. it isjust next to that. thank you. i was thinking about things you might i black friday. my phone is was running out of charge. they are going to bring in a wireless charging on tables. this is for trains. it is charges automatically for you. brilliant idea but i would prefer that they sort out their wi—fi first. trainer wi—fi is generally rubbish. for now, thank you. —— train wi—fi. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with tina daheley and ben thompson. good morning.

here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. president trump has visited northern california to see the devastation caused by the worst ever wildfires in the state. this morning, officials said five more bodies have been recovered, bringing the total number of deaths to 76. mr trump said the fires had not changed his views about climate change, and said improvement to forest management would make sure that a blaze on such a scale did not happen again. no. i have a strong opinion. we are going to have forests that are very safe. our correspondent dave lee sent this update from the town of chico in northern california where the worst of the fires have been raging. it is now more than a week on since this huge wildfire devastated the town of paradise and there are still many hundreds of people unaccounted for. those who did make it out are still in places like this, this is an unofficial area for those who fled the fire and didn't have

anywhere else to go. gradually we are expecting this place to thin out as people are being offered free bus rides and free ride shares to get a proper shelter around an hour or so drive from where we are. when they get there they are going to be greeted with proper supplies, a place to sleep, but also help with the next steps, getting the financial support to try to move on from what has happened to them here. president trump has been in the area surveying the damage for himself and also offering his support to the firefighters that are still tackling this blaze up in the hills here. he removed his threats, or rescinded his threats, to take away federal funding from california because of bad forest management. he now says funding will be made available and he and governorjerry brown will work together to solve this problem for california. as for the people that are here, you can see behind me is the first blue sky since the fires happened.

dave lee, bbc news, in chico. will the former brexit secretary, dominic raab, is accusing the prime minister of failing to stand up to a bullying european union. in the sunday times, mr raab — who resigned over the draft withdrawal agreement last week — said there had been a lack of resolve with brussels and suggested britain walk away from negotiations rather than being bullied. theresa may has rejected suggestions the agreement could be changed. the government has confirmed plans to allow universities to offer two year, or "accelerated degrees". they would be allowed to charge higher fees per year but overall students would save around £5,500. some of britain's biggest companies are urging the government to honour a promise to give mental health in the workplace the same status as physical health. executives from fifty companies — including royal mail, wh smith and ford — have written to theresa may, asking her to follow through on last year's manifesto pledge to update health and safety legislation. the government says it will bring forward the recommendations of an independent review. a woman has died and 200 other people have been injured in demonstrations against rising fuel prices in france. more than a quarter of a million people joined the protests.

the price of diesel in the country has risen by around 23 per cent over the past year, the highest level for nearly 20 years. president trump has said the us will determine in the next few days who it thinks was behind the murder of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. there have been reports that the cia believes mr khashoggi's killing was ordered by crown prince mohammed bin salman. saudi arabia has blamed rogue intelligence agents. thousands of young people have found a rather unique way to make sure their climate change message is heard, by trying to set a world record for the biggest postcard of all time. it's on a glacier high up in the swiss alps and features 125,000 drawings from children all over the world. it's urging governments to come together to help stop global temperatures rising by more than 1.5 degrees celsius. one way to get your message noticed. let's talk cricket. england and made light work of it yesterday. they did.joe light work of it yesterday. they did. joe root is looking happy despite looking rather menacing in that picture. a big win for england, their first series that picture. a big win for england, theirfirst series win that picture. a big win for england, their first series win in sri lanka for 17 years. joe root answering a

lot of questions about his captaincy, which had been a topic of debate. also, ahead of a great year for england. they have this test series, then the world cup at home and the ashes on home soil. good momentum. england made short work of it this morning. it took them just half an hour to get the three wickets they needed to finish off the home side, win the second test and with it the series. moeen ali ended up with 4 wickets, jack leach got five in just his third test match for england. one more test left, but plenty of positives for england in a part of the world where they've really struggled in years gone by. dublin was the place to be last night! the party is probably still going on after ireland beat the mighty all blacks forjust the second time, the first on irish soil. it was the standout result on a big day of autumn international rugby as our sports correspondent joe wilson reports in one place, the best two teams in the world, this was intensive. ireland had to keep new zealand moving, keep them guessing,

switch the play and there was jacob stockdale, you kick and you hope. it worked. that was the moment. but defence is just as important, look at peter armani, snatching the ball a split second before the all blacks could grab it and score. new zealand were attacking until the last, no way through. 16—9, ireland have beaten the best in dublin, now they just need to win the world cup. elsewhere, scotland took on south africa with their three running, freethinking kind of rugby. that is a great try from scotland! but south africa's outstanding player said small moments were big moments, they held on to win. in cardiff, wales met tongan red with steel. ten welsh tries displayed

strength in depth and strength in character. wales cut loose with 74 points in the end, lovely when a plan comes together. we spoke all week about timing and coming through at the end and it hand out exactly the way we thought. it was tough for us but we made it tougherfor them. japan made it truly tough for england at twickenham, bursting through the grey areas in england's defence to lead at half—time. confronted by huge embarrassment, potentially, england responded eventually. 35-15. if it is how you finish that counts, england did enough. joe wilson, bbc news. there was a strange ending to the semis at the atp world tour finals, as alexander zverev beat roger federer. the german stopped play in the tie break after a ball boy dropped a ball at the back of the court. it's all above board and part

of the rules of tennis for him to do that, but sections of the crowd didn't like it, and they made their feelings known after zverev had sealed the win. first of all, i want to apologise for the tie—break. the ballboy dropped ball, it is in the rules that we have to replay the point. i am not sure why you are all booing, he is telling the truth, the ballboy moved across the court and disrupted the play, i think you have to be a little bit more respectful. it is just unfortunate circumstances. these things happen. booing, i never like it, we see it in other sports, in tennis it is rare so when it happens you feel it is really personal and we take it very direct and i think it is unfortunate that this happened. sasha doesn't deserve it. good old roger federer. to be fair,

what we didn't hear was the crowd cheering later on. i think they were confused with the rules, they didn't understand he was within his rights to stop play. they later cheered, but it was all very confusing. to stop play. they later cheered, but it was all very confusingm was good that he made it clear. as roger federer said, it was rare that you hear that behaviour. even as he is being a apologising he is being booed. only at 21-year-old kid who looked confused. fairplay to roger federer because he said at the end he beat him fair and square and the bottomline is it didn't change the result. the shock result is for alexander zverev that to be the greatest ever tennis player. well, zverev will play novak djokovic in today's final at the o2. that's after the world number one comfortably beat south africa's kevin anderson.

he's been almost perfect at the tournament so far. the 14—time grand slam champion hasn't dropped a set all week. football, and scotland hammered albania 4—0 in the nations league. bournemouth‘s ryan fraser scored the first of the night with a fine curling effort. he was involved in the 4th goal aswell, setting up celtic‘s james forrest to dink the ball up and volley into the back of the net. if scotland beat israel at hampden park on tuesday night they'll be promoted to the second tier of the competition, and also secure a play—off spot for euro 2020. what an afternoon ahead at wembley. it's winner takes all at as england host croatia in the nations league. it's a repeat of the world cup semi final which of course croatia won. if england win today, they'll top their group. lose and gareth southgate's side will be relegated. we are always improving and i think, in those five matches you have seen since the summer, what we have not done is sit on our laurels and say we are happy with what we did at the world cup and that is it

for the year and we look forward to the european championships. we have wanted to keep improving and i think the players have shown that mentality as well. arsenal women will try to maintain their 100% winning record in the women's super league when they take on everton this afternoon. mid—table bristol city moved above liverpool with a 2—1win. ella rutherford scored what proved the decisive goal midway through the first half. golf and francesco molanari is on course to win to his first race to dubai title. he can only be denied if tommy fleetwood wins the world tour championship. former masters champion danny willett is right in contention for his first victory since the masters two and a half years ago. he's in a share of the lead in dubai. fleetwood needs the win, he's had a god start today but as it stands he's still way down the field, leaving his friend and ryder cup teammate molinari in pole position to top the rankings. ronnie o'sullivan‘s through to the final

of the northern ireland open snooker after a thrilling deciding frame victory over mark selby. this incredible fluke in the decider proved pivotal for o'sullivan, as he cleared up to take the match on the final black. he'll face judd trump in today's final in belfast. you say it is a flick. he probably meant it. —— fluke. he has been, as you would expect, very controversial through the tournament. at the english open he said he didn't like the smell of the place. decoys have something to say. —— he always has. good final, tromp and o'sullivan later today. —— trump. we've been reporting this morning on those devastating wildfires that have ripped through parts of northern california, where more than a thousand people are believed to be missing and many more homeless. a week on, and rescue teams are sifting through burnt out debris searching for bodies. well earlier i spoke tojoe greco, a search and rescue volunteer, he began by bringing us up to date with the situation.

it has continued to be a dire situation, it really has. we are ten days in now, the pictures do it nojustice. it is literally a catastrophe of epic proportions and we have got a response of equal proportion underway now. search and rescue has literally turned into a recovery at this point. are you holding out any hope of finding anyone else alive at this stage? we always hold that hope. that is ourjob, is to hope people come home. but ten days in now, if family hasn't found each other in shelters and other things, finding them out in the woods or in their homes now, i don't think there is a possibility, no. and can you describe

just the type of scenes that you have been dealing with for the last ten days on the ground? we are dealing with ash. there is nothing left. we are dealing with raw emotions and it is a catastrophe that we have never seen anything like this, we really haven't. this fire came through so quick and so hot that you had to get out of the way, you couldn't stand up and fight it. we have family members that have been torn apart, we have families who have lived in these cities for generations of and now you have got grandma and grandpa without a house. their kids without a house

and there kids kids without a house. we literally have generations of people out on the street, or missing. donald trump visited the site of the fire yesterday, how was his visit received? i believe it was received great. any help these people can get right now is going to be well received. whether president trump is loved or hated, president trump is our president and people are going to be looking to him for direction. what is your response? you live there and you know what the situation is, these wildfires happen seasonally but they do seem to be getting worse and have been more ferocious in the last decade. experts have blamed climate change, weather, populations, president trump has blamed poor forest management, what is your response to that? you know, i really don't have one. i don't know if forest management could have

possibly played into this. again, isaid before that this thing burns so hot, so quick, wind—whipped, tornadoes of fire blowing, people just had to get out of the way. we will keep you up—to—date with the story. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it certainly is. a very good morning to you. it is chilly out there this morning. the shut behind me in nottinghamshire short time ago. it has a slight the calder feel about it. some will have crossed this morning. temperatures in parts of aberdeenshire around five degrees. it will not be quite as chilly as the next few days but the daytimes will be. today after the chilly start there will be plenty of blue

sky overhead, much as we saw through yesterday afternoon. high pressure is in charge, that is keeping things dry. it is bringing in this clearer, drierair dry. it is bringing in this clearer, drier air from dry. it is bringing in this clearer, drier airfrom the near dry. it is bringing in this clearer, drier air from the near continent. mist and fog to content within the short term. heart of the midlands, north—east england, eastern parts of scotland, and on the eastern side of the grampians and the pennines will cease urgently. the latest winds in the north. after the chilly start we will see 13— 50 degrees in the highlands. quite a breeze blowing. that will be with us for a few days, if not stronger. that will temper the feel of things —— 15 degrees. temperatures will be around 11 or 12 degrees. the mild air compared to some parts of europe. 16 on the north coast of iceland. that is converted by degrees in germany. we castellet to germany, their weather today will be ours tomorrow. —— we

look towards germany. more cloud developing towards is in parts of scotla nd developing towards is in parts of scotland and eastern england. it will travel westward through the night. western areas will stay clear for longer. a touch of frost into the morning prostrate across eastern parts thanks to the cloud on the strengthening breeze. more cloud around tomorrow compared with today. the best of the sunshine first thing in the west. the best of the sunny brea ks in the west. the best of the sunny breaks throughout. sunny breaks elsewhere. not sheets of cloud elsewhere. not sheets of cloud elsewhere. but thick enough to produce showers across eastern scotla nd produce showers across eastern scotland and england in particular. temperatures tomorrow afternoon, it will be warmer —— it will be a case of taking some women to work. most places in single figures. it will feel much colder —— something warmer. more cloud piling its way towards us. there will be some turnaround on tuesday. a greater chance of showers on tuesday, especially across england and wales.

northern england, north wales, and the southern counties most prone. cold enough on the hills to see some sleet or wet snow mixed in with that rate. the temperatures nb power monitors around six or seven degrees for england and wales. it will feel closer to freezing. a big change. not sure i am ready. as the temperature is dropping, is it too early to predict whether or not we might have a light christmas? laughter. -- light laughter. —— light christmas. it is far too early. i tried. we will ask you that every day now until the 24th. we will have you recorded forever. more later. time now for the latest technology news in this week's here on click, we are constantly

coming across jawdropping medical marvels. from robo—nurses, to ai which can outdiagnose experts. we have seen the future of medicine evolving before our eyes. it is fair to say medicine has come a long way. this is the old operating theatre museum in london. of course there is an old operating theatre museum, why wouldn't there be? back in the late 1800s for example, this was the cutting edge — literally. and in the 130 years since, surgery has changed beyond recognition. but, as with all technology, we mustn't become overreliant on it. we mustn't think that it will do everything and we mustn't think that it will work every time.

last week, we were given a sombre reminder of this when an inquest found that a cardiac patient, stephen petit, had died as a result of undergoing pioneering heart surgery using a da vinci robot. had the surgery had been of the traditional kind, he almost certainly would have survived. i think if a surgeon is going to use a robot, and use is the right technical term, he has to be very well practised with it. i think that was an example where the team were not sufficiently trained or prepared to do that operation. and therefore, it was a very, very, very long operation that ultimately went badly. we reached out to intuitive surgical, the company behind

the robot used in stephen petit‘s operation. they provided a statement expressing their condolences to his family and reiterating that patient safety is their priority. but they said they don't provide and can't enforce a mandatory medical training regime before a surgeon uses their robotic system. this training and validation remains with hospitals. they say that more than 5 million da vinci robot procedures have been performed by more than 40,000 trained surgeons worldwide. so, where now for robotic surgery? well, paul carter has been to see one robo—manufacturers centre of operations, as well as getting an inside look at real—life surgery. at london's royal marsden hospital, we have been allowed to see the surgical robots in action. following the death of stephen petit, it was interesting to find out more about how surgeons are trained in vr and how they overcome the sense of touch they would have if they were using their hands. before anyone goes anywhere

near a patient they are expected to do a good deal of training on that system in virtual reality beforehand. yes, you lose the tactile feedback but you have got very clear imaging and you can very clearly and precisely define your dissection. in this procedure, robotic technology will be used to remove a cancerous tumour in the patient‘s stomach, with fluorescent dye used to light up the area. during the procedure, surgeon miles smith, assisted by assif chowdry, controls three robotic arms which he manipulates to remove the tumour. the aim is to greatly reduce surgical trauma as the robot method is far less invasive than more laparoscopic traditional surgeries. the da vinci robot makes it possible for surgeons to operate deep inside the body through microscopic incisions. can you keep your voice down a little bit because this is quite a critical part of the operation

and what is actually happening behind me is that they are putting in ports into the patient‘s stomach where the robot will dock onto in order to perform the actual operation a little bit later on. the robotic console actually uses keyhole surgery, whereby instruments into the patient‘s body through small holes instead of large cuts. that means less blood loss, less trauma and also quicker recoveries. the robot has four arms, three of which carry tiny surgical instruments and one of which sports a camera. ports need to be put in place before the robot can be wheeled in to dock its arms. what is remarkable about this system is it is generally remote. you can see the arms moving behind me and they almost look like they are moving independently, they are actually being controlled by miles, who is sat at a console several feet away from the patient. the remote consoles provide the surgeon with 3d visualisations and magnified images allowing complex dissection or reconstruction. the surgeon controls the arms through finger loops that mimic the hands natural movement. so the tumour has just been cut off, for lack of a better phrase. it is just extraordinary, put in a little tool

and bagged it up. yes, that's it. let's take it out of the ports. intuitive surgery, who make the system used at the royal marsden, have almost complete market dominance. but now, new robotic surgery players are starting to emerge. we've come to california to visit alaris health, who are developing robotics for a different type of surgical procedure. alaris' monkier platform concentrates on endoscopy, a procedure which allows treatments to be given to organs through natural openings, such as the mouth, meaning no incisions are required. it can manourvre through a patient‘s airways, even into the far and narrow parts of the lungs, and combined with ct scans, it can provide a gps map of the patient‘s internal organs, allowing surgeons to navigate precisely on areas of concern. i am using what is essentially a modified games controller to operate this scope here. and i am no surgeon, i have been using this for a couple of bits and i am able to make quite precise movements. it's pretty extraordinary.

it's clear that robotics finding different surgical niches is one area of growth, but what else does the future hold for surgical robotics? there's no reason why in the future we shouldn't be able to train robots to differentiate between structures that we want to preserve and structures that we want to remove. perhaps a bit like driverless cars, but in this case a surgeonless robot. possibly under the control of the surgeon. next we're going to talk golf — a stubbornly traditional sport, but one which is ready to embrace the newest technology, as lara lewington has been finding out. this is wentworth club, which in just a few years is going to be celebrating its centenary.

but over that 100 years, a lot has changed. in recent times, much of that has come down to technology. so we are going to go and see how both amateurs and professionals in the making good use of that. lasers, radars, sensors, and motion capture have transformed data collection. and analysing these statistics means training and play can be more precise than ever before. and who better to show us in one of the greatest golfers on the planet? francesco molinari, fresh from wins this year in both the ryder cup and the open championship. one of the difficulties of golf is that there are so many elements, and even so many parts of the body

moving through the swing, that any little difference, any little difference makes a change. those tiny differences are captured by the kind of tech usually reserved for big budget hollywood films. 27 reflective markers over his body helped to create a digital double francesco's swing to be analysed in detail. optical motion capture analysis uses high—speed cameras to capture every movement in the body and club. this provides francesco's team with data that would have been impossible to measure a few years ago. this is trackman. the radar basically picks up all the data surrounding the golf course, surrounding the golf club. it picks out points of that will stop and that gives us the data that we can see. so we have ball speed, we've got launch angles, we know how high the ball launched out of the golf club. 15 years ago he would have been in the field watching the ball, whereas now we can physically see. slightly intimidating being this

close, but i guess he does know how to hit the ball the right way. the technology tracks the distance, power, and trajectory of the ball, using a combination of hd cameras and a doppler radar. it also registers microwave transissions that move away from a golf club and ball. it is a crucial measuring tool. otherwise, if you think about it, old school, you would hit all five balls and go look at them and measure them and write them all out. that's the only way that you are going to learn — to have immediate feedback — and this is sensational for that. but is this in some ways ruining the game? before it was a lot of guessing going on, and really going on the feel of the players, and ourfeel. there is now just a lot more feedback. these people with lasers zapping our ball after every shot so we know exactly how far we hit every shot,

how far off—line, how farfrom the flag. so far, it has been impossible to track everything, but with the technology you've seen today, we're getting closer and to getting exactly an idea of what is going on. definitely technology has been a massive help in tracking every ball and getting immediate feedback, so i would would not be as good a player, for sure, without that technology. and that may well be true. but ultimately the player has to be skilled enough to act on the data that is being recorded, and, of course, this is not there to turn just anyone into a star player. and that is it for the shortcut of click for this week, the full—length is available to watch right now on iplayer. don't forget, we are all across social media. youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter. all you need to say is bbc click and we'll be there. thanks for watching and see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast

with tina daheley and ben thompson. our headlines today. president trump visits the site of californa's deadliest wildfires as the number killed and missing continues to rise. stand up to eu "bullies" — former brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk must be prepared to walk away from negotiations with brussels. england's cricketers have wrapped up the series win in sri lanka this morning, their first there in 17 years. and in weather, it's going to be

a sunny sunday almost uk wide but it's a chilly start and colder air is on its way. i've got the details here on breakfast.
