8:00 am
mountains of these cubes and humanity has to leave. and at the moment, no matter how much recycling we do, i get the feeling that that future is getting more and more likely. something's gotta be done. see ya. good morning welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. our headlines today: police investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane in new zealand say they've found a body. this brings the search for grace to
8:01 am
an end. it is an unbearable time for the family and our hearts go out to them. theresa may warns the uk will be in uncharted waters if mps reject her brexit deal on tuesday — but anotherjunior member of her government resigns. almost a thousand people are in custody after a fourth weekend of anti—government violence in france. liverpool are top of the premier league after they won and manchester city lost 2—0 at chelsea, but an investigation is underway after allegations that raheem sterling was racially abused at stamford bridge. and in the weather it is a bit windy and showery to start with, but otherwise it is a drier, sunnier and cold day. all the details coming up. it's sunday the 9th of december. good morning. our top story. police in new zealand searching for the missing british backpacker grace millane, have found a body. the 22 year—old from essex was last seen in auckland over a week ago. a 26 year old man is due to appear in court on monday
8:02 am
charged with her murder. chi chi izundu has the latest. this is the area police had cordoned offa this is the area police had cordoned off a earlier in the day, describing it as her location of interest. detective inspector scott beard announcing the news no one wanted to hear. we have located a body which we believe to be grace. the formal identification process will now take place, however based on the evidence we have gathered over the last few days we suspect that this is grace. obviously this brings the search for grace to a close, this is an unbearable time for her family and oui’ unbearable time for her family and our hearts go out. police released pictures of the red rental car and asked the public for any information on sightings of it last monday. officers confirmed a postmortem examination will be conducted on the body found. 22—year—old grace was on
8:03 am
a worldwide trip and had been on contact with her family nearly every day since she got to new zealand, until december one, the day before her 22nd birthday. she had been staying in a backpackers hostel in auckland, the last reported sighting was in the city centre one week ago. with a male companion. police say he had been with her in the evening. 620 had been with her in the evening. g20 sexual man has been charged with her murder and is —— the 26—year—old man has been charged with her murder and will appear man has been charged with her murder and willappear in man has been charged with her murder and will appear in court. downing street insists that tuesday's crunch brexit vote will go ahead, rejecting suggestions that theresa may could delay it, in order to avoid defeat. last night the conservative mp will quince, a ministerial aide at the ministry of defence, resigned from his position, saying he couldn't back the deal. let's speak to our political correspondent, nick eardley, mrs may is still fighting for her deal? she is, she is making the argument
8:04 am
again in the papers this morning, telling the mail on sunday that if there is a vote does not go in her favour then it could risk a general election and a labour government, and attempt to seek to conservatives who are thinking of rebelling against her, don't do it because we don't know what will happen, otherwise you could open pandora's box, politically. the problem misses me has, she has had a troll while, ifa me has, she has had a troll while, if a lot of people in her party simply are not listening. they are not buying the threats nor the attempted compromise. we saw last night that will cleanse a parliamentary aide to the defence secretary handing in his resignation, saying he could not support the deal. not a household name but it is more of a sign that ata time name but it is more of a sign that at a time when the prime minister needs people coming to her side, the opposite is happening. many people
8:05 am
are actually hardening their opposition to what she has put on the table. that is why some of her allies are saying to her, postponed the boat —— postponed of the vote on tuesday, you are in line for a humiliating defeat. at the moment downing street say that is not going to happen. thank you. the french government says that a heavy police presence curbed escalating violence, during a fourth weekend of protests by the so—called "yellow vest" movement. nearly a thousand people were arrested, and more than a hundred received hospital treatment, as lucy williamson reports. they called it a protest. at times it looked more like a game of urban war. groups of protesters fanned through the capital's streets. from the arc de triomphe to republique, boulevards once built to open the veins of the city filled with tear gas, burning vehicles, and riot police. the police were well prepared for this confrontation, with armoured vehicles, new tactics, and bag searches —
8:06 am
seizing gas masks and helmets and anything that could be used against police. the tear gas, far stronger than usual, took many protesters by surprise. and rapid reaction squads marked out by orange armbands were stationed among the protesters to spot trouble and make early arrests. despite the violence of previous protests, this movement still has the backing of many voters in france. its members proud of their lack of leadership and the diversity of their support. but this movement is already splintering into two kinds of protest — one that looks towards a new political programme and a violent wing, opposed to any negotiation. it is hard to exclude and even harder to control. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. president trump is looking for his third chief of staff, after announcing that john kelly is leaving the post
8:07 am
at the end of this month. it's not clear why the former marine general is stepping down, but us media reports talk of growing disagreements with mr trump. general kelly has been in the role since the end ofjuly last year and becomes the 28th member of senior staff to have resigned or been fired during the trump administration. john kelly will be leaving... i don't know if i can say retiring, but he is a great guy. john kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. we'll be announcing who will be taking john's place — it might be on an interim basis. i be announcing that over the next day or two, fax machines will be banned across the nhs, under government plans to overhaul outdated technology. they'll be phased out by april 2020, and a ban on buying the machines brought in from next month. the royal college of surgeons has said it is "absurd" that hospital trusts still own more than eight thousand fax machines.
8:08 am
55 pairs of designer trainers, seized from a jailed gangster are to be sold at auction. the collection, valued at around £18,000 includes luxury brands like louis vuitton, jimmy choo and gucci. their owner, who is serving a six—year sentence for shooting at a rival gang member, was allowed to keep any pairs worth less than a hundred pounds. it is eight minutes past eight. while the topic of brexit continues to divide opinion, many leave and remain mps have at least found one thing to agree on in recent days — they don't like theresa may's deal. let's talk to labour's lucy powell, who campaigned for remain, and nigel evans, a conservative who supported leave. they say they'll be united when it comes to the big vote on tuesday. a first for you both. probably. if
8:09 am
we get to a vote on tuesday, as you know the 1922 committee said that they would be rather pleased if we don't go down to what is absolute certain defeat on tuesday, because over 100 conservative mps have said they are not going to support it. including you. including myself. lucy do you think the vote should be delayed? from her point of view, it should come from the country's point of view and formatting this on now, no it shouldn't be. it is pretty clear what the parliamentary view is. so we need, i think we have made for while now to know what is going to come next, what will that results m, to come next, what will that results in, what is that going to be? and the sooner we can get onto that i think the better. so if this isjust a delaying tactic then now but if it
8:10 am
is about moving as an nes. there is no point having the vote, it is pretty clear that is going to get lost in the question now is by how much. everyone was interested at the vote taking —— taken place, and it still might, we don't know. downing street say it well. of course it is the reaction to that. we know because under tory mps say they will love or forehead that plan b must commit operation. there is sort of speculation about her, she has gone to brussels enemy and the prime minister has to tell. is there a plan b? amber rudd has hinted they might be. that was going off piste, what happened to cabinet responsibility? people have been asking that for two and a half yea rs. asking that for two and a half years. it says a lot about the deal is one of her cabinet ministers is already speculative about other solutions to it. it says a lot. the prime minister said the opposition —— opportunity to go to michel barnier and say we cannot have a
8:11 am
backstop, which we don't know where we would eventually leave the eu and it could be used as leveraged on things like fisheries in gibraltar. also, the dup, we rely on ten dup members to insure we have the government of this country, and we have managed to upset them greatly, so have managed to upset them greatly, so much so that they have even said that should the miracle happen and this treaty gets through an amended, they will then support the labour party ina they will then support the labour party in a vote of no—confidence. that is ridiculous. what is a plan b look like the labour?|j that is ridiculous. what is a plan b look like the labour? i think what is clear is that the parliamentary mathematics of this thing are very, very close. nothing is going to please enough of parliament. i think if you move slightly one—way, if you move towards nigel‘s position and the harder brexit if you like, canada the harder brexit if you like, ca na da style the harder brexit if you like, canada style arrangement, you will lose another win of the tory party and you're not going to get the support of the opposition mps, if you move slightly towards where the labour party is you will lose more of the tories, so i really do think
8:12 am
this needs to be resolved by a general election, because we haven't got a majority in parliament, government that has a majority in parliament, and therefore theyjust can't make this thing happen now. that is a problem for you, nigel, because you could inadvertently been about a general election which could bring labour into power. the one thing that unites the tory party is we don't want a unique early general election. so you must support trees amid's deal? now because it does not deliver what the public want. i not reserve is listening to a party but you must listen to the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the eu. theresa tells me that brexit ears should be in charge of the brexit details at every stage, that clearly has not happened. must then have resigned. that to be alarm bells ringing. they resigned months ago, every time it got tough they
8:13 am
resigned and left the scene. downing street should have heard the alarm bells, where david davis and dominic rogue one, plus every other minister who voted leaving the apartment. it only left one and robin voted remain. she is hamstrung, isn't she? she is hamstrung. and i think the clarity about what leave means, what even the main means. and we are to have years on. when you speak to your constituents do you feel that the mood amongst them has changed? what are they saying to you? is brexit still on the agenda at all? is it about bin collections and fly—tipping and much more different, more local issues? and mps what do people most get angry about and get in touch with you about usually is beans, parking, police, housing, portals, those things are what concerns people but probably for most of my constituent i think the
8:14 am
biggest frustration is brexit is just dominating all else, so they are bothered about you wrestle credit, funding in the local schools, austerity hitting the area, not getting address at all. who e—mails in? you get in touch are the polarised opinions at each end. probably most opinions are in the middle. peoplejust what probably most opinions are in the middle. people just what is over and done with. it is the world-famous swa n done with. it is the world-famous swan with two necks in pendleton, i have attached to some locals last night, one voted leaving one voted remain in both were angry that we we re remain in both were angry that we were not getting on with what people wanted delivered and when you get into a situation of politicians versus the people, and this is where we currently are because we have a remain parliament, i think we are in a very dangerous situation. you can see what happened in france when politicians have ta ken see what happened in france when politicians have taken other people and it is an ugly scene. i don't wa nt and it is an ugly scene. i don't want that happening to my country and we have had a contract with the
8:15 am
british people, we said to them in 2016, you decide. leave or remain. they said leave and we have to deliver that. theresa may is right on one thing, it is uncharted territory. thank you. time for a look at the weather. never mind brexit, it is a big battle this week between mild and cold air, which will eventually went out over the uk? today it is a swing to the cold air, we have seen the wind changed direction across northern parts, instead of the clouds moving from west to east, ending offa clouds moving from west to east, ending off a moving from north to south. this will push it down towards the uk this morning. this will clearly the morning showers from parts of the midlands, southern england and wales, plenty of showers around here at the moment, still quite breezy as well after a wild night. a few showers in northern scotla nd night. a few showers in northern scotland turn into sleet and snow of the hills quite readily. in between we have the sunshine had more of the
8:16 am
sunshine to take that into the second half. we see the wind bringing showers to northern ireland and maybe northwest wales and still across northern scotland the odd when the flurry can't be ruled out even into the afternoon. temperatures are four or 5 degrees for some and that breeds making itself known, even though it is not a strong that it has been. parts of central and southern southeast scotla nd central and southern southeast scotland have been dry so far, the odd shower will drift in the midlands especially towards evening. there will be existence of sunshine and it should be dry from any of you. tonight the showers continue for northern ireland but northwest england in the north midlands bigger one likely. the chart show where temperatures in the air will fall below freezing but we could be in for a touch of frost across parts of northern and eastern england, and even the odd pocket out towards the west. we still have some showers for the commuter model, south—west scotla nd the commuter model, south—west scotland and north—west england and the midlands in particular, most of
8:17 am
those fade away with sunshine through the morning. sunshade turning his in the west la on, a few spots of rain into south—west england and, also in northern ireland during the afternoon. temperatures here on the rise, they be up to between eight and 12 degrees but single figure temperatures further east and this is where we start the battle between cold air trying to hold on across eastern areas, my other fishing in the atlantic. the fair bit of progress in the week, on tuesday the cold air went out after a frosty start, bit of a no man's land at this stage with lots of cloud around which often and break to allow sunshine through. at the moment the rain is being held after the west of ireland, so most will be dry. temperatures may creep up a little bit across central areas, but still a fairly chilly day and beyond that the mild air will push its way eastwards, but exactly how quick it comes is the big uncertainty. firstly at friday, potato, but with that as he go towards the milder air we can see a spell of hilssner but
8:18 am
still a long way to go and i will keep you updated throughout the week. back to you. let's get more on the developing news overnight that police in new zealand, searching for the missing british backpacker grace millane, have found a body. it was announced at an emotional press conference, close to where the find was made. since early this morning we have had the scene a sanitation under way here, at the section behind me. this area was identified late last night has a location of interest as a result of our investigative work. i can now advise as a short time ago we have located a body that we believe to be grace. the formal identification process will now take place however based on the evidence we have gathered over the past few days we expect that this is grace. obviously this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the family and our hearts go out to them. the investigation will continue for some time yet. the
8:19 am
focus now is to be together exactly what happened to a young girl who came to new zealand, any father, any pa rent came to new zealand, any father, any parent in this situation will struggle. i have a daughter in her 20s. we're putting a lot of support about them, they are here with her brother from about them, they are here with her brotherfrom england. about them, they are here with her brother from england. so about them, they are here with her brotherfrom england. so our about them, they are here with her brother from england. so our hearts go out to them. in the last hour we got the latest update from sarah robson, from radio new zealand. there are discussions on social media about holding candlelit vigils in auckland and wellington over the next few days to remember grace —— to remembergrace next few days to remember grace —— to remember grace millane, and i think one of the reasons this has had such an impact on many new zealanders, we go off overseas on out zealanders, we go off overseas on our experiences much in the same way that grace has at the age of 22 and we embark on these adventures by
8:20 am
ourselves as well, and i guess for new zealanders to have this happen to someone at such a young age he wasjust finished to someone at such a young age he was just finished uni to someone at such a young age he wasjust finished uni and embarking on her big huge overseas trip, it is really affected many people in the wider new zealand community. really affected many people in the wider new zealand communitym really affected many people in the wider new zealand community. it must be for the authority is worrying because so many people come to new zealand and it is a place that is the destination and the economy relies a lot on two is on and on young people coming to the country. that is exactly, right now this is not something that happens even once a year, in my memory, i don't recall a year, in my memory, i don't recall a case similar to this. as you say, tourism is such a huge part of our economy, we have heard from traders in new zealand today and they are a little bit worried about the impact of the coverage of this case might have particularly over in the uk. in terms of tourists coming here. but i guess the message is, new zealand
8:21 am
does not have a reputation for being an unsafe tourism destination, this is against destination where perhaps grace's family thought she would be 0k grace's family thought she would be ok in new zealand. grace's family thought she would be 0k in new zealand. everyone's thoughts are with grace's family. herfather is thoughts are with grace's family. her father is there with her brother, the everyone else is in the uk. everyone's thoughts are with them. yes, you heard scott beard, he was emotional throughout the press co nfe re nce was emotional throughout the press conference and when was asked as you heard in that clip that he played just before, how was that the mac's father doing, he got emotional because he has a daughter in her 20s, andl because he has a daughter in her 20s, and i guess that is what has brought it home to a lot of new zealanders here. we have siblings. if you're a you might have a daughter who may have ambitions of point of travelling and i guess there is a sense of responsibility in some ways for new zealanders that this has happened to someone coming to visit her country.
8:22 am
that was sarah robson from radio new zealand speaking to us earlier. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. but first let's speak to andrew marr. only one really big question for british politics this morning, what is going to happen next? i am joined by stephen marked in theresa may's new brexit secretary. and by one borisjohn. may's new brexit secretary. and by one boris john. wreckage may's new brexit secretary. and by one borisjohn. wreckage politics and brexit, the future. the andrew marshall at ten o'clock. and brexit, the future. the andrew marshall at ten o'clocklj and brexit, the future. the andrew marshall at ten o'clock. i can't believe i skipped over andrew to try and go to the papers. deja vu now. the reverend sally hitchener is here to tell us what's caught her eye. good morning. flu jabs. yes, flu
8:23 am
jabs. i haven't had minute either but i have been meaning to add eve ryo ne but i have been meaning to add everyone should have theirjabs, you get them free if you are within certain brackets where flu would be really detrimental to your health but the problem we have is that even within those groups, the elderly and the young people with certain health conditions, there is low take—up. even with tiny little ones, toddlers and children are encouraged to get it but less than one in three toddlers are getting it, but for toddlers are getting it, but for toddlers they need a spray of the most of it is not even very dramatic. flu, last yearflu had the lowest ta ke—u p dramatic. flu, last yearflu had the lowest ta ke—up in dramatic. flu, last yearflu had the lowest take—up in the highest flu related deaths in 40 years. we need to go and get it. i know it is a fast and an extra injection on —— is not on top of anyone's christmas list but it makes so much difference, not just for list but it makes so much difference, notjust for you but the people you work with. there are talks about barring nhs front line staff from doing front—line work until they have had the jab because the chance of passing it on to the
8:24 am
people they are working with israeli high. can i ask if it is the eight minute questions or apologies to anyone who already knows the answer, but if everyone got flu jabs, does it mean that, i don't know, that the flu then transmits, it becomes something else? becomes stronger in the same way as we had about other things that then become more immune and more resistant? and the flu gets worse? or is that mad science. and more resistant? and the flu gets worse? or is that mad sciencelj and more resistant? and the flu gets worse? or is that mad science. i am not a scientist or a doctor but as far as not a scientist or a doctor but as farasi not a scientist or a doctor but as far as i understand it, if you get a flu jab the flu does not get into your system, the thing that makes it modify and morph it if it gets into your system and then can run riot in your system and then can run riot in your body and then have a chance to modify, and change itself. and they do change themselves every year which is why we need to top up every single year with the main strength of the offending the population. so there is no excuse. very important. this is a story about commuting. i guess if you're fit and healthy like
8:25 am
some of these running commuters you may be more resistant to flu but interesting, people who run to work getting there quicker than drivers. yes and by 2020 the average runner will get to work quicker in london by —— than by taking public transport or driving. and car traffic in london has gone down from 9.5 mph in rush hour time five years ago to 7.7 mph now. that is interesting. is this about roadworks? what is slowing of the thing down? traffic jams on the emotive cars, the number of cars, and it is notjust london, this has a knock—on effect in places like manchester and newcastle. the only thing is if you are running and thatis only thing is if you are running and that is traffic queueing alongside you you wonder about what you might... nitrous oxide, exactly. you you wonder about what you might... nitrous oxide, exactlym is better, if you are sitting at a desk all day long the speech going
8:26 am
to the gym. it can get masks and things as well but in terms of getting you moving it is great. tell us getting you moving it is great. tell us about the story, unwholesome and unwelcome, a plot to control scout is -- unwelcome, a plot to control scout is —— scouts, sports and nativities. health and safety as i call it. anxieties over health and safety gone mad, there has been a very sensible report by the department for education suggesting that safeguarding issues need to go to non—school groups, non—church groups, all these other groups outside, and giving them guidelines on how to do it, and the asked one or two questions are suggesting, however we going to make sure this is permitted correctly, how will we monitor this? and that has led to all sorts of anxieties about ofstead been involved with local community groups and trinity groups and all sorts of things, but i think is silly, because that is not what is on the cards. it is about very sensible safeguarding procedures being followed by all groups that
8:27 am
engage with children. and we don't need to worry about that. the territory plays are so great, i am missing wife frieda weisberg for by the timoci play, so if you're in the uxbridge is an area then we need three wise men. tell us the story in ten seconds, it is lovely. teddy is doing afun ten seconds, it is lovely. teddy is doing a fun run. he was born with the same condition that my little sister has only half a heart, he's only three years old and now he is fit and better and has decided to do afun run fit and better and has decided to do a fun run for great ormond street hospital, so what excuse do the rest of us have? he's doing a centre dash. well done. all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. match of the day is coming up for you, we will be on the bbc news channel to nine o'clock but if you wa nt to channel to nine o'clock but if you want to bbc one, goodbye for now. hello. this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz.
8:28 am
it is just approaching 8:30am. it isjust approaching 8:30am. a summary it isjust approaching 8:30am. a summary of the main news this morning: police in new zealand searching for the missing british backpacker grace millane have found a body. the 22—year—old from essex was last seen in auckland over a week ago. a 26—year—old man is due to appear in court on monday charged with her murder. this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. the investigation will continue for some time yet. the focus now is to piece together exactly what happened to a young girl who came to new zealand. downing street insists that tuesday's crunch brexit vote will go ahead, rejecting suggestions that theresa may could delay it, in order to avoid defeat. there have been suggestions of that in the sunday times and other papers today. the pm has warned that the uk would be in uncharted waters if mps fail to back the bill.
8:29 am
will quince, a ministerial aide at the ministry of defence, has resigned from his position, saying he couldn't back the deal. the french government says that a heavy police presence curbed escalating violence during a fourth weekend of protests by the so—called yellow vest movement. nearly a thousand people were arrested, and more than a hundred received hospital treatment during the demonstrations about rising living costs. president trump is looking for his third chief of staff, after announcing that john kelly is leaving the post at the end of this month. it's not clear why the former marine general is stepping down, but us media reports talk of growing disagreements with mr trump. general kelly has been in the role since the end ofjuly last year and becomes the 28th member of senior staff to have resigned or been fired during the trump administration. john kelly will be leaving... i don't know if i can say retiring but he isa
8:30 am
don't know if i can say retiring but he is a great guy. john kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. we will be announcing who will be taking john's place. it might be on an interim basis. i will be announcing that over the next day or two. fax machines will be banned across the nhs under government plans to overhaul outdated technology. they'll be phased out by april 2020, and a ban on buying the machines brought in from next month. the royal college of surgeons has said it is absurd that hospital trusts still own more than 8000 fax machines. we have talked a lot about brexit on the programme this morning and it is ana lot the programme this morning and it is an a lot of the newspapers as well and people might be getting tired of it. you might have sympathy for a caller to bbc radio 5 live last night he found it difficult to stay awake. joy in bournemouth has been waiting for 35 minutes. we believe
8:31 am
he has fallen asleep because we think we can hear him snoring. pump this up and see. 0h, oh, dear. poorjerry! he might have been really fired up about brexit. they made him fall asleep! if you keep someone waiting 35 minutes... a former colleague of mine on radio 5 live was waiting to read the sports bulletin overnight and they kept him waiting too long and he fell asleep. naff all this with... ! —— now for all the support with. .. naff all this with... ! —— now for all the support with... ! now liverpool are top of the premier league. it is the start of a very important week for them. they have napoli at
8:32 am
the weekend. people get worked up about those matches but it has been about those matches but it has been a very good start to the week for liverpool because they are top of the table. liverpool are now the only unbeaten side in the premier league. mo salah scored a hat trick in their 4—0 win at bournemouth to send them top of the table by a point. pep guardiola said his manchester city team was fantastic at chelsea yesterday but they lost 2—0. tottenham have jumped up to third. adam wild reports on the first twist in the title race. manchester city beaten in the premier league for the first time this season. we could have one heck of a title race on. the premier league feels a rather different place this morning. the unbeaten finally beaten. chelsea the first to do what some had begun to think was impossible. i am very happy with the win, because i think it is not very easy to win against manchester city and it is not easy to
8:33 am
win against guardiola. that feels something of an understatement. pep guardiola's sides had not been beaten in the league since april. chelsea ending that extraordinary sequence. and golo canto and then david luiz giving fresh hope that the title chase remains on. with that new hope and new leaders, liverpool are now top of the league after they and in particular mo salah ran rings around bournemouth. a comfortable 4—0 a victory. they are now the side to catch. in arm's reach if not quite in touching distance yet, spurs are back into third. a brilliant goal. they kept up their pursuit with a win against leicester city. they remain the side putting pressure on the top two. there has not been too much cause for optimism at old trafford this season. but amidst the gloom
8:34 am
an occasional gllimpse of something brighter. ashley young showing the way against fulham. manchester united's win of the season completed by marcus rashford. a change in fortunes for them, perhaps, but while the premier league may feel a different place this morning, fulham hope it changes even more. they remain bottom. there were also wins for burnley, cardiff and west ham, and arsenal, who left it late at home to huddersfield. lucas torreira came up with this spectacular winner, a bicycle kick, which gave arsenal a 1—0 win. the 83rd minute. it took their unbeaten run to 21 games in all competitions this season. let's just return to the match at stamford bridge. anti—discrimination charity kick it out says
8:35 am
"yet another great day of football has been damaged by prejudice." the metropolitan police and chelsea are investigating an incident of alleged racist abuse during the match with manchester city. a group of men in the home end hurled abuse at raheem sterling as he went to collect the ball for a corner. no arrests have been made. the police say they will review footage, as it was widely shared on social media. chelsea say they will take the strongest possible action where necessary. in scotland, kilmarnock‘s stay at the top of the scottish premiership was all too brief. celtic are there now after beating them 5—1, although rangers can take over if they get a big win at bottom club dundee later. they have got to win by four goals. there were also wins for stjohnstone, hibs and hearts yesterday, and for livingston, who beat st mirren 3—1. ryan hardie helping them on their way with his first goal of the season. livingstone are back in the top six. england and scotland have been drawn in the same group for next summer's women's world cup. they were also in the same european championship group last year. england won that 6—0.

afternoon sorted. the final is on bbc two and it starts at one o'clock at the barbican in york. now on to the world of extreme sports and the mayhem that is crashed ice racing. this is injapan — the first event of the season. and how do you stop? that handy padded wall! he is flat out and he is the winner. the american won. where are the cameras? smile! and they have got on—board cameras as well so we should maybe get footage of that. i skating makes me wince because i have got an interesting scar. you know the serrated ends? one went across me when i was 12. i can still see it. dangerous. the triple snow plough turn. and you are clinging on to the wall? yes, they went really quick and then i was banging into the wall myself. thank
8:40 am
you. being able to hire a bike and ride it around for the day is an increasingly common option in cities around the world. but what happens when the idea doesn't prove a success? schemes in a number of british cities have recently been abandoned, but some places still hope the idea will take off. here's our business correspondent, joe miller. they were supposed to make our cities cleaner while helping us all get a little bit leaner. instead dockless bikes were stolen, vandalised and even abandoned on railway tracks. faced with huge losses, chinese firms ofo and mobike pulled their yellow and orange fleets out of many uk cities and shrunk their service in london. it looked like the end of the road for dockless cycles but a green american entrant is now betting that it can pull off a u—turn. this is the latest contender in britain's bike—share battles, designed in california, backed by the likes of uber and google, and equipped with a small electric
8:41 am
motor to help you up those difficult hills. the only question is will they get an easier ride than their chinese competitors? lime is slow—pedalling into the capital. after a trial in milton keynes, it is launching only in the adjacent london boroughs of brent and ealing, far from the crowded city centre and it's hoping to prove to other councils in the country that its bikes won't become a public nuisance. because of the battery pack in the back, they need to be serviced and maintained every couple of days. this means that we have a local on—the—ground operations team who is super vigilant and always having a handle on where every single bike is in the city. lime says its bikes are equipped with real—time gps trackers and that their heavier weight makes it harder for people to make off with them.
8:42 am
but for a couple of quid for a shortjourney, the company will have to do more than just fend off thieves to avoid the fate of its predecessors. i think what they found is they are not making as many trips as they were hoping to make, and since their current business model requires them to make five trips per bike per day, they're not meeting that and that's why they pulled out. if lime wants to rack up enough trips to make ends meet, it may have to expand beyond the confines of north—east london. but despite its limited roll—out, local councillors think the company's e—bikes will have a special appeal to some residents. particularly for those lacking mobility or the elderly, it will be a really easy way of cycling, getting out, getting some fresh air, getting more exercise, without having to have the thighs of chris hoy to get anywhere.
8:43 am
lime is aiming to deploy 1,000 bikes by the end of the year and its ambition is to eventually cover all of london and beyond. but with cities like amsterdam and vienna already declaring war on dockless bikes, and with the prospect of gigantic bike—share graveyards scaring off policymakers, it will only take a couple of wobbles for its global plans come to a halt. joe miller, bbc news. some of those pictures of piles of bicycles are some of those pictures of piles of bicycles a re really some of those pictures of piles of bicycles are really shocking. let's look at the weather because it looks like next week is all to play for. warmer and colder and who will win that battle? who wants to talk about brexit anyway? it is all about the weather! thank you, victoria. a big battle between the mild and the cold on its way. this is a shot from one of our weather watcher is a short while ago in norfolk. there have been some showers in central and
8:44 am
southern parts of england and a breeze as well. they will ease. you are showers in the afternoon and more sunshine. you will notice how in parts of scotland the cloud direction is north to south and they will work to the south with colder airas we go will work to the south with colder air as we go through the day. that will shift away the showers we have at the moment. it has been a wet morning for some across wales, england and southern areas. and we have got wintry showers across parts of scotland, particularly over higher ground. central and southern scotla nd higher ground. central and southern scotland is sheltered from that breeze by and large. notice the showers across the south fading away by the end of the morning and into the afternoon. take a closer look. if you are pounding the high street this afternoon, good luck and better you than me. it will be quite chilly across the northern half of the country and you will need a warm jacket with for to 7 degrees. a bit of sunshine between the showers in northern ireland, not a thoroughly wet day by any means. showers in snowdonia and mid wales. the rest of england and wales largely dry by the afternoon with temperatures around nine to 11. it will feel cooler than
8:45 am
it has done. overnight, showers continue into north west england and the north midlands. to the north and east of that you can see blue colouring where temperatures will drop below freezing. a widespread frost in scotland and northern england and some further west. some showers during rush hour in the north west of england especially. but most places will stay dry. the best of the sunshine in eastern areas in the afternoon, turning hazy in the west. some rain could push into the west of northern ireland and wales and the south—west. colder temperatures. 12 degrees in the west and with mild air, they will tussle it out this week. the cold air wants to hold on and the mild air tries to put in, slow progress. on tuesday the cold air stays with us. cloud across the country with mist and fog patches in the morning. some of the
8:46 am
cloud will break up and some sunny spells on tuesday with most staying dry and the rain holding off to the west. the rain will try to push into the rest of the week. it looks like thursday and friday it will have its biggest attempt but with that we could even see some snow over the hills as it happens. we will keep you updated and carol is back on monday. enjoy your sunday.“ you updated and carol is back on monday. enjoy your sunday. if it's too early to talk about a white christmas? i will tell you on boxing day! we're just two days away from the big brexit vote, and while tension in the westminster bubble is at fever pitch, what about the rest of the uk? nina warhurst has been on a brexit road trip across north—west england looking at this very question, so let's see what she found out. she is here. nice to see you. we
8:47 am
played that caller on radio 5 live who nodded off waiting for a phone in. some people are bored of this and some people are extremely engaged. what were people saying to you? as you know, roger, i have been running around the north west with a microphone in my hand for about 15 yea rs microphone in my hand for about 15 years now, and i would honestly say this has been one of the most interesting weeks i have ever covered. so many people that i spoke to were so engaged and they really had an opinion, and not a superficial leave or remain view, but a genuine engagement in the backstop and the customs union. i thought i would be chasing people begging them to speak but the reality was different. we talk about people being at either end of the debate and sometimes that is in the same family, so here is one couple
8:48 am
you spoke to. i am clive and i am a farmer and i voted to remain.” voted to leave. when it came to the vote, families were divided then and now what next? you voted to remain but would you back the current deal? yes. i don't think anybody out there will be able to get a better deal out of what we're doing at the moment and i think they should leave theresa may alone and let her get on with it. she is doing her damnedest for us. is there part of you that things i wish i had voted to remain? a little. i just things i wish i had voted to remain? a little. ijust think now we are not going to get the correct deal. clive and george were really interesting. i dropped in on them delivering cabbages for christmas. and clive thought things had been going well for his family in agriculture for three generations, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, so he voted to remain, and he was surprised that his son george voted to leave, and he was like a lot of young farmers who felt constricted by the eu. they felt the red tape has been strangling them for years. so george wanted something fresh and new but he talked about the complexities of the deal now it is
8:49 am
unfolding and how he has a bit of remorse. and clive were typical of labour voters that i spoke to who think the prime minister is doing a good job. and some remain voters who just want to get the deal through because enough is enough. that young farmer regretted his vote but you did find plenty of leave voters in the north west who have become more entrenched in their view and most staunch. shall we hear from entrenched in their view and most staunch. shall we hearfrom one of them? my name is simon and i am a delivery driver and i voted to leave. do you get annoyed when people say they didn't know what they were voting for and they will change their mind now. yes, it does my head in. i read the papers, i watch the news, and i listen to the talk times and question time, and i fully understand what i was voting for. i met simon in a cafe in eccles, not far from salford, for. i met simon in a cafe in eccles, not farfrom salford, and it is really interesting. it is like a
8:50 am
micro area which voted remain among the see of salford which voted to leave. it is a mixed demographic and it has struggled with poverty but thanks to media city, there is new investment. there was tension in that area and a lot of people like simon said they voted to leave and everything is changing around me and i don't want to be perceived as a racist and i am tired of people saying that because they voted to leave i am racist, and i am not, and iam leave i am racist, and i am not, and i am integrated well with my polish neighbours and that is fine, and number two i do know what i am talking about. i read up on this as much as anyone else and i have not changed my mind and ifeel patronised by people who think there should be another vote because he is better educated now and he will change his mind. curious. sometimes you get a stereotype with a grain of truth in it which leads to the stereotype coming. one of them is
8:51 am
that younger people voted to remain and older people to leave, but you met the older voter who doesn't conform. look at this. my name is ronnie and i am retired and i voted to remain. we are doing ok in. and i am european. ifeel to remain. we are doing ok in. and i am european. i feel i to remain. we are doing ok in. and i am european. ifeel i belong to remain. we are doing ok in. and i am european. i feel i belong to europe. i knowa am european. i feel i belong to europe. i know a lot of people want another vote and i and wondering if anyone would change their mind. you seem anyone would change their mind. you seem to be heartbroken about it.” am. you see families arguing about it and it shouldn't be like that. that was runny. how gorgeous was she? really upset about the divisions that brexit had caused. she remembers the war because she is 81 and she feels european and thinks it is important to stay part of it. she threw out all those stereotypes. that is what i learned. gender, age, eve ryo ne that is what i learned. gender, age, everyone has an opinion, everything is up in the air, which makes this
8:52 am
history in the making. ultimately whatever happens, we hope the country comes together. yes, and a massive positive i took from it is that people are engaged in politics ina way that people are engaged in politics inawayi that people are engaged in politics in a way i have never seen before. really interesting. thank you. there are no cars, indoor toilets and there isn't even a pub. how would you live! and you can count on one hand the local population. yet for three years, the remote island of bardsey was the place sian stacey called home. but she's calling time on that life and moving to pastures new. we will chat to her in a moment to hear about her amazing time in this wilderness but here is a reminder of what we found when we went to see her. you're looking for bardsey island. it's over there. just off the north wales coast, a small island called bardsey. the latest newcomer, sian stacey.
8:53 am
i think people imagine that this kind of life is very isolating and quite lonely and boring. a population of... just four of us. just four. sian became the island's manager here a year ago, looking after bardsey‘s visitors. do you think you could imagine staying here for a week or so? not for me. there's no pub! i'd love it. no pub, few neighbours. sian's nearest is farmer steve. what does it take to live somewhere like this? it's nice when everybody chips in and helps each other. isolation, they tell me, doesn't bring loneliness. it brings closer ties. that sense of belonging i think you feel a lot more more in places like this than in big cities sometimes. and sian is back! what prompted you to call time on your time in bardsey? i suppose it is a mixture
8:54 am
of things really. it has just been the most incredible last three yea rs. the most incredible last three years. my partner has been there for seven yea rs, so years. my partner has been there for seven years, so for him, he wanted a change of scene, i guess. quite a big change for him, mark. and you met him because you used to visit the island and then you got this job looking after it. just tell us a little bit about what that job entails. yes, as ireland manager, warden, you are responsible for the infrastructure of the island, and looking after the 15 grade two listed buildings, ten of which we let out as holiday lets. between april and october you can come and stay on the island and i was in charge of making sure that they had an enjoyable and safe state during their time there. what was the weather like? it is off the north wales coast. how did you find the weather in the irish sea? it is brilliantly wild. it is fantastic. this summer we had the beautiful
8:55 am
long warm period which led to a water shortage which was a worrying moment. but in the winters we have storms and we didn't have a boat until we left for three weeks. it is 0k until we left for three weeks. it is okfor us until we left for three weeks. it is ok for us because we are used to it but for a lot of people that would be quite challenging. we even had heavy snow last february which was impressive and unexpected. water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. you are surrounded by the sea. drink. you are surrounded by the sea. so where did you get water from? it is one of my responsibilities. there are a number of wells on the island so each day i would be checking the wealth levels and making sure there was enough in the storage tanks. for a simple cup of tea i knew exactly where the what had come from and the process it had gone through and i was in charge of it. you become more connected to your most basic resources, which i really enjoyed feeling. people could go and visit, couldn't they? explain
8:56 am
what year was like in terms of and companionship for you. this time of year it would just be mark, my partner, and our dog and the farmer down the way, so just four of us overwinter. that is lovely but by the time you get to february and march you are happy to welcome everybody else back. we are joined by the crew at the observatory who lived there for that season. and the fishermen. and the visitors that come and visit for a week, a short break or longer. sian, victoria here. i am just wondering about your relationship. it is quite a big deal to go and move to an island... i am not saying you would want to jump ship and find another partner that it isa ship and find another partner that it is a lot of pressure on a
8:57 am
relationship. i can understand that perspective for sure. luckily we work quite well together. we both enjoy what the island is in terms of it being a really wild piece of land. we really enjoyed the migratory birds, the seals, that type of thing. those things are very much what we love. we were somewhere that we loved. there were less precious in that way. you have got to work together, whether that is with your partner, with colin the boat man, with the farmers, we all work together, so there was a nice micro community on the island. how wonderful. thank you for talking to us wonderful. thank you for talking to us and we wish you well know you are backin us and we wish you well know you are back in cardiff. thank you for talking to us. i am sure there will be no shortage of people wanting thatjob now it is vacant. that is it from us today. dan and steph will be here tomorrow from six o'clock when they will be joined by many people including
