good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. our headlines today: "brexit is in danger of getting stuck" — that's the warning from a senior cabinet minister who urges mps from all parties to come together. crucial talks to tackle global warming continue through the night as officials from 200 countries struggle to agree a deal. a british sailor, rescued after her boat capsized during a round the world race, says she would do it all again in a heartbeat. crazy high five living, in scotland... livingston score five in just 1a minutes to thrash hearts late in the game — and there was a red card too in a game that had been rather dull. good morning. some extremely dangerous weather is forecast today, there are metalface dangerous weather is forecast today, there are metal face amber warning is out for freezing rain. that is extremely rare here in the uk pettit poses widespread, treacherous black

ice, warnings for heavy snow because of storm deirdre, that could bring severe gales. more in quarter of an hour. it's saturday the 15th december. after one of the most turbulent political weeks in decades, this morning there is a call for mps from all parties to work together to achieve brexit. it is making me lose track of time! the work and pensions secretary amber rudd — who is a close ally of the prime minister — says our exit from the eu is "in danger of getting stuck". writing in the daily mail, she says it's time for politicians to "abandon outrage and accusations". let's speak to our political correspondent tom barton, who's in central london this morning. it is highly unlikely that amber

rudd would have written a piece like this without the permission of theresa may, her boss, is this the beginning ofan theresa may, her boss, is this the beginning of an official strategy, do you think? it is difficult to say. but it is clear after a week in which a lot has happened but very little has changed, one thing that we know for sure is that reza may does not have the support she needs in parliament to get the deal through —— theresa may. but amber rudd appears to accept that. the work and pensions secretary saying that brexit is in danger of getting stuck. while in public she continues to back the prime minister's deal, she said the government needs to reach out across party lines to put together a consensus parliament can accept, to forge a consensus. one

group that is successfully reaching out across party lines is the pro—brexit campaign group, poppy leave m ea ns pro—brexit campaign group, poppy leave means leave. —— leave means leave. they had a number of mps at the event and speaking after the event last night, nigel farage said that he believed another vote is more likely but he did say that it would be outrageous if that happened. tom, i am glad that you've got your scarf on, stay warm, it is very cold. we have nasty conditions coming in today freezing rain is expected to bring treacherous conditions to parts of the uk this weekend as storm deirdre hits on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year. the met office has issued amber warnings for some areas. helen's here to tell us more. freezing rain is the issue? that is

the biggest issue, on top of the snow and the severe gale force winds which will make it feel raw. it is gusting at 60 miles an hour across the west coast of wales. it is a serious weather day. serious enough to cause widespread disruption, hence the amber warning. and you mention freezing rain, quite unusual here in this country, this is what it looks like it is basically black eyes. when it freezes on trees, the wait can bring it down. we have snow melting, mild air in the atmosphere. when it comes back into the colder air, it becomes below freezing, and we have these cold surfaces like we have had for much of the week, and it will freeze so that pavements and roads become un—possible,

treacherous black ice, you could come out and you have the black ice that you do not see. warnings and details are all available on the website. studio: thank you, you will let us know who exactly is going to be affected in a moment. campaigners are urging the government to stop plans to issue prison officers with a synthetic pepper spray to help tackle violence in jails. the prison reform trust says that during trials the spray — known as pava — was used unsafely and inappropriately. but the prison service says lessons have been learnt form the pilot and there'll be clear rules on how the sprays should be used. thousands of police are preparing for a fifth consecutive weekend of protests by the so called yellow—vest movement. shops were looted, cars were set alight and windows were broken in paris last weekend. the unrest was sparked by rises in fuel taxes but has grown into demonstrations against president macron‘s administration. negotiations at a climate change

conference in poland have continued through the night with nearly 200 nations trying to agree on how best to tackle rising temperatures around the world. progress has been made, but there are problems over the question of compensating poorer countries for the damage caused by global warming. from katowice, our environment correspondent matt mcgrath reports. climate negotiations rarely finish on time, as every step needs to be agreed by consensus of nearly 200 governments. adding to the burden on exhausted delegates here has been the knowledge that their decisions will set the direction of travel on the paris agreement for decades to come. such is the sense of urgency here, they are seeking deeper carbon cutting pledges from every country by 2020. there are those trying to water it down, and not to be a significant reflection, i mean, we

are talking a majority of the world is calling for them to recognise what the signs are but there are one oi’ what the signs are but there are one or two, or three, i what the signs are but there are one ortwo, orthree, idon‘t what the signs are but there are one or two, or three, i don't know what they are trying to do. you cannot discount the fact of science. science is science. one issue causing problems is the question of market mechanisms, where countries can buy carbon credits from one another as a way of reducing emissions. similarschemes another as a way of reducing emissions. similar schemes in the past were often shown to be fraudulent. there are several other interlocking problems, none are insurmountable given the time but given negotiators are due to fly home, time is in very short supply. a british sailor who was rescued after her boat capsized during a solo round—the—world race has said she would do it again "in a heartbeat." susie goodall was rescued after she got into trouble 2,000 miles west of cape horn. yesterday, she finally arrived back in chile where she was reunited with her mother and brother. ben ando reports. back on dry land and an emotional

welcome from her family for susie goodall, the british sailor rescued from the southern ocean after the mast of her racing yacht was torn off in a ferocious storm. after 157 days alone at sea, and a very emotional week to follow, i was fighting back the tears as i stepped off the ship and saw my mum and oldest brother. my whole family have been my rock from day one of this whole journey, way back three years ago when i signed up to this golden globe race. i've put them through a lot and i know i have a lot of making up to do. she'd set sail injune. at 29, the youngest competitor in the gruelling golden globe round—the—world race. she'd reached fourth position in the standings after rounding cape horn when, ten days ago, disaster. buffeted by huge waves, thousands of miles from land, the mast of her yacht snapped, and as it rolled end over end, she was briefly knocked unconscious. after drifting for two

days, she was picked up by a chinese freighter. it was a delicate operation because her yacht, dhl starlight, was unable to power itself, the giant 40,000—ton ship had to gently manoeuvre itself alongside for her to be winched aboard. sailing away from dhl starlight was heartbreaking. she stood up valiantly to all that the elements had thrown at her and looked after me to the last moment. her race this time is done. but susie goodall said, even knowing what's in store in the dangerous seas of the southern ocean, if she was asked whether she would do it again, she would say yes in a heartbeat. ben ando, bbc news. good luck to her. although everyone is very pleased that she has been rescued, but it is draining. new york is a city famous for its bright lights, but the big apple has never seen anything quite like this. it's hosting its first ever

chinese lantern festival. more than 3,000 hand—made lanterns were shipped to the us from china for the spectacular event. some of the displays are up to 30 feet high. lantern festivals are an ancient tradition in the far east and have been around for 2,000 years. maybe not with electric lights inside them for all that time! helen will bring us the latest on the freezing weather. she will bring us the freezing weather. she will bring us up—to—date with that same. for some, receiving the gift of organ donation is a second chance to enjoy life. but for others it may not be that simple. one person who's recently spoken about this is the modern family actress, sarah hyland. she described how having two kidney transplants left her depressed and contemplating suicide. to discuss this, we are joined by the uk's first transplant co—ordinator, lynne holt, alongside sumayarjabbar

who experienced depression after a failed kidney transplant. good morning. sumayar, you had your first transplant in 2012, and then? i had my first transplant in 2012 from my brother and then just about last year, this time, it began to deteriorate quite a bit, my kidney function. i got various tests done andi function. i got various tests done and i was diagnosed with a kidney disease which has no cure for it. they don't know why it happens. my kidney had failed within a couple of months and i had to go back on dialysis, unfortunately. what was going through your mind? at the time, it was utter disbelief and shock, i never imagined my brother's kidney failing because it was such a

good match. it happened so suddenly, i could not comprehend it. i think i went through a bit of depression. i did think about suicide, and stuff like that. it was quite severe. why, because you felt hopeless?” like that. it was quite severe. why, because you felt hopeless? i felt that i was to blame. and i don't know why i felt that way. nobody made me feel like that. i had really good support from my family and everybody. but i just good support from my family and everybody. but ijust felt good support from my family and everybody. but i just felt that good support from my family and everybody. but ijust felt that i had done something wrong, that my brother's kidney had failed. he had given you this precious gift, and your body had rejected it? so in your body had rejected it? so in your head, you transpose it as being your head, you transpose it as being yourfault? your head, you transpose it as being your fault? yes. lynn, often in the media we concentrate on positive stories that come out from transplants, that may be patients are not prepared enough for when it

goes wrong? orjust for the mental changes that come with it? i agree. i think probably the expectations that may be we in the hospital raise once you have had your transplant everything is going to be fine is not always the reality. for many patients, chronic illness is a depressing condition anyway, having w011 depressing condition anyway, having won transplant and poor sumayar needed two. feelings of inadequacy and with it being a chronic illness, it does not suddenly disappear after a transplant. a transplant is not a cure, it isjust another treatment. these patients need support and it isn't always available in the normal clinic setting. support groups, there needs to be more psychological

input before and after the transplant. some transplant units have that but others do not have the resource. but it is a common problem, many of them are now beginning to speak out. and it is surprising, when people are put through such a major operation at a time when we take mental health so seriously, yet there are still people not really getting the preparation they need to deal with it psychologically? it is such an acute clinical setting that recognising all of their psychological needs of the patient, and the families, to be fair, they suffer too. there is not enough resource a cross suffer too. there is not enough resource across the country to give them the support they need before and after. sumayar, you had your second transplant injuly and after. sumayar, you had your second transplant in july this and after. sumayar, you had your second transplant injuly this year and you spoke about how you felt after your first kidney failing. in terms of preparation, emotionally, mentally and physically, how did you approach the transplant? with trepidation?

i was grateful for the gift and i am grateful to the family who have donated their organs, but at the same time, it comes with shock that all of a sudden, it happened so fast, i was on dialysis and suddenly i got the transplant as well. it is difficult to go through for your body and mentally, to accept all these changes your having to go through. again, it was a gift, so i am gratefulfor this through. again, it was a gift, so i am grateful for this opportunity. andy cole spoke about the suicidal thoughts he felt, the former footballer, he spoke to the guardian newspaper at the end of october. he had a kidney transplant and he spoke about physically, after a transplant, the emotions. do you think it is useful

to hear people with high media profile speaking out about this? definitely, it is empowering. personally, it has helped me share my journey, personally, it has helped me share myjourney, and personally, it has helped me share my journey, and talk personally, it has helped me share myjourney, and talk about it and raise awareness. | was myjourney, and talk about it and raise awareness. i was wondering if there is a role for people like you to play, who have been through, educating people who are about to go through? perhaps you're the only ones who can truly prepare somebody? i would urge anybody who has been through similar to come forward and talk about it. i certainly find it, speaking to family and friends, can understand it, they have not been through it, but when i speak to other people who've been through dialysis and transplantation, the help i get from them is different, they understand what i have gone through. more people need to raise awareness on mental health and organ donation. thank you very much indeed. sumayarjabbar in lynne holt. thank you forjoining us on brea kfast. we wish you well. let's speak to helen. lots going on. we have got

storm deirdre and freezing rain is on its way for some parts. it is. good morning. not much happening at the moment. this is imminently on the moment. this is imminently on the way. there are numerous warnings out and one is for this freezing rain, which is very red in the uk. it is serious enough that it could cause significant disruption. this is how it might look. this was taking in the south—west of england earlier this year when we had the freezing rain event but it is very unusual. you have supercooled water, water that exists below freezing and it falls onto frozen services and spreads out to you get an instant ice rink. it happens quickly and can ta ke ice rink. it happens quickly and can take you unaware and is extremely dangerous. that is one of the amber warnings for the north of england, and central and southern scotland. in highland scotland, it will cause particular problems as it pales up

and blows around, courtesy of storm deirdre. storm deirdre is making her presence felt across northern ireland, and south western wales, with mostly rain, but severe to gill force winds, so stormy here. getting away from the worst of the wintry weather but as it comes into the cold air that has been sitting across the country for the last few days, keeping things quiet, as the weather comes into the transition zone, that is when we get the severe winter weather. there will be a risk of snow and that it gets heavier into this afternoon, that is when the risk of freezing rain becomes elevated. we will have wintry weather in many areas. we could have it for the site, but the amber warning area is where we expect the most significant disruption. we could see disruption from the rain further west, a couple of inches of rain. blowing around in the strong to gale force winds. even inland. it

looks like some of england and wales will escape the wintry weather but there could be sleep in the south and it will feel much colder than yesterday because of the added wind—chill factor. let's concentrate on the wintry weather. the north midlands into central scotland, the risk of freezing rain. snow was well and the snow will pile up across the highlands. snow at lower levels as well. temperatures barely above freezing, and there will be a gale force wind blowing. that will last well into this evening and overnight. storm deirdre looks like it might have a sting in its tail as well. as it clears away there will be another bout of very strong winds. if you're travelling today, it isa winds. if you're travelling today, it is a busy weather day, plays —— please stay tuned to the forecast. the freezing rain will happen very quickly, hence the concern. you do not often get days like this in the

uk. we will still see some snow as it clears away. it will still be icy because temperatures will fall close to freezing again. it will be a cold night but as the time —— by the time we get it tomorrow, and the winds blowing out into the north sea, the system will move out of the way and it will be a day of sunny spells and showers, mildertomorrow it will be a day of sunny spells and showers, milder tomorrow but there could be heavy showers on top of the rain in the south. this afternoon and this evening links treacherous for many people. back to you. i was going to say thank you but i am not sure i will thank you. do not shoot the messenger. see you later. thank you for watching. how we care for older people is a complicated issue, made more difficult in europe by falling birth rates, meaning that there are fewer young people paying taxes to fund much needed—care. so can we learn anything from other countries? we have been asking that question

across the bbc. japan has the world's oldest population and our tokyo correspondent, rupert wingfield hayes, has been to see what they do, as part of our "who cares?" series. music plays. deep in the mountains, two hours north of tokyo, nanmoku is now the oldest town in japan. once a week the andos drive their mobile shop up into these valleys. at each street corner they turn the music up and wait for their customers. music plays. the young have all left for the city. now only the old remain. for them, the andos' mobile shop is a lifeline. so you're like a social service, checking on everybody each week? translation: i think the village would be more deserted without us coming here.

these villages are what we call shopping refugee. translation: we all like the people here. we have known them for over 30 years. we want to do what we can to help them. all over ruraljapan there are more and more places like this where the vast majority of the population are in their 60s or older. by the middle of the century, more than 40% of japan's total population are going to be old age pensioners. no other country in the world has ever experienced that before. it's notjust a question of how they are going to pay to look after all these old people, it's who is going to do the caring. japan has a well—funded care system. everyone over a0 must pay into it. that pays for people like this woman. today, she and her colleagues are going door to door checking on pensioners.

but this system is already under huge strain, and the reason is dementia. in another neighbourhood, they are checking on a 90—year—old man. a year ago his wife was diagnosed with dementia. now she needs almost constant care. translation: sometimes she waits outside the front door until late at night. she thinks our children are coming to collect her. i try to persuade her to come in, but she refuses. there are already 5 million people injapan suffering with dementia. by 2025 that will rise to 7 million. where japan goes the rest of the world will soon follow. but even here no one is sure how it is going to work. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in gunma, centraljapan. fascinating.

what was it? fascinating. saturday morning, it is a horrible morning, stay inside. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's time now for a look at the newspapers. it is horrible outside but nice here. we have got anne longfield, children's commissioner, to go through the papers. hello. iwell? yes, thank you. we have been talking about care. we saw the piece from rupert wingfield hayes. it comes down to the question of funding. where is the money going to come from because the nhs and ecosystem, thatis from because the nhs and ecosystem, that is not enough on that so we have to think about our own care. you picked up on this piece in the telegraph about the nhs spending plan. a small piece, a political

angle, we have all heard lots about the b word over the last few weeks but with so much attention being put on brexit, the rest of the domestic agenda has been shunted back. i am interested in children and one of the things that has been shunted backis the things that has been shunted back is a big announcement which has been planned around the nhs forward ten year plan. lots of the emphasis is around children's mental health, something that everyone will know is a real worry for lots of families and lots of children, one in six, a new survey showing mental health conditions. partly, there is a real issue about kids that, you know, may have to wait longer because of that because the plans will not be in place. but also something which is a strong, visible message around a debate which is clearly important about brexit, but the frustration being that the rest of the world carries on and her kids, two years asa carries on and her kids, two years as a lifetime and they cannot wait.

we had news whatjohn earlier and the point was being made about the brexit coverage this week and what has been happening in parliament. brexit coverage this week and what has been happening in parliamentm sucks the debate and tension from important issues. everyone knows that children's mental health is important, but waders that space? actually, both. no sign of that changing soon in terms of extra bandwidth being available. you have chosen this in the mail about gingerbread men. banned in the scottish parliament. explain. political gingerbread men. this is a political— christmas story. there has been lots of attention this week. stories in the press about sexist or stereotypical adverts being banned, there is something in the telegraph today saying that if you have got girls, their fathers are you have got girls, their fathers a re less you have got girls, their fathers are less likely to be sexist because the girls will be teaching them. in

parliament, the gingerbread men have turned into gingerbread persons. they have a new strategy around equality and anti—sexism. obviously really important, but they have now moved into gingerbread persons. they say they are very tasty and they have sold out, but with all the really important things going on, it does feel it has been over thought. that is a good way to put it. no one wa nts to that is a good way to put it. no one wants to see any sexism, but gingerbread men. we rode along. in holyrood there was a survey out this week talking about the number of women who have suffered sexism in the workplace. i guess they were thinking, if we're going to stand up to that, we make little changes. i do not know. this is a great story. this is so much fun. we are going highbrow. absolutely. there is not going to be

any foul language. ok, we all know that the pechstein has taken over our lives, talk about it lots with kids, we have got these home devices that we called to do things. this palette has worked out how to do stuff, he is good at mimicking words and language. he can turn on the radio, he is particularly keen on rock music, the kings of leon, he likes that, but he has started ordering things through alexa. he makes a declaration and tells the speakers think what he wants to buy? yes. i can tell you a few things he has ordered recently. there is a pa rental has ordered recently. there is a parental lock which means it does not get paid for. a padlock. very good. strawberries, raisins, broccoli, a butter knife. fuses, eggs and the kettle. andy kellett.

there we go. —— and a kite. the world record for the largest vocabulary is it handed words. we know that parrots are good at mimicry. there is an african grey from county down in northern ireland who has been trained to insult donald trump. her owner has taught her to squawk an expletive when the us president appears on the television news. you have got to love parrots. very quickly, this story in the telegraph about a school that wants to be christmas number one.|j telegraph about a school that wants to be christmas number one. i could not resist. we have all got family members, my nephew has been doing it, they spend lots of time and school doing their christmas songs, some are linking up with other musicians, and there is a school in lancashire who is going head—to—head with ariana grande and miley cyrus and others, a primary school in

fleetwood, with hopes of number one. that is just great. what fleetwood, with hopes of number one. that isjust great. what is the song? it is their own song, the school have written it themselves.” think it is called light up. number two in the itunes chart. just the pride that kids get when they do something like that is fantastic. pride that kids get when they do something like that is fantasticm is probably the palette ordering the single. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and john kay.

thank you forjoining us this cold saturday! it is warm here in the studio, we will keep you toasty! good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. after one of the most turbulent political weeks in decades, this morning there is a call for mps from all parties to work together to achieve brexit. the work and pensions secretary amber rudd — who is a close ally of the prime minister — says our exit from the eu is "in danger of getting stuck". writing in the daily mail she said it's time for politicians to "abandon outrage and accusations". in the last half hour, the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has said the deal woud make it through parliament if there are assurances the backstop is not permanent. at a rally in london last night, the former ukip leader nigel farage,

said he thought a second referendum was now the most likely outcome. she is not leading the nation, we are becoming more divided on this subject than perhaps we were two and a half yea rs subject than perhaps we were two and a half years ago. that is why i think a second referendum gets closer. i hate the thought of it but i tell you what, i will spend every minute getting ready for it. negotiations at a climate change conference in poland have continued through the night with nearly 200 nations trying to agree on how best to tackle rising temperatures around the world. progress has been made, but there are problems over the question of compensating poorer countries for the damage caused by global warming. scientists have warned the global temperature rise must be kept below one point five degrees by the end of this century to avoid the worst impact. campaigners are urging the government to stop plans to issue prison officers with a synthetic pepper spray to help tackle violence in jails. the prison reform trust says that

during trials the spray — known as pava — was used unsafely and inappropriately. but the prison service says lessons have been learnt form the pilot and there'll be clear rules on how the sprays should be used. thousands of police are preparing for a fifth consecutive weekend of protests by the so called yellow—vest movement. shops were looted, cars were set alight and windows were broken in paris last weekend. the unrest was sparked by rises in fuel taxes but has grown into demonstrations against president macron's administration. a british sailor who was rescued after her boat capsized during a solo round—the—world race has said she would do it again "in a heartbeat." susie goodall was rescued after she got into trouble 2,000 miles west of cape horn. yesterday, she finally arrived back

in chile where she was reunited with her mother and brother. how far would you go? what length would you go to to get your hands—on free cash! ? commuters in the us state of new jersey couldn't believe their eyes when cash started blowing across a main road. motorists stopped their vehicles and risked their lives to pick up the money which had spilled out of the back an armoured car. but police have warned people they'll have to return the money and are investigating several road traffic accidents linked to the incident. look at that accident there. with lorries and vans going past you? hmm, police are on the case. mike is here with the sport now. it is christmas jumper time! mike is here with the sport now. it is christmasjumper time! we saw pep guardiola's earlier. that was about one hour ago. i thought christmas

jumper day was yesterday? the official day was yesterday. dan walker, are you late? you cannot 30 to way again after the day.” walker, are you late? you cannot 30 to way again after the day. i was trying to be sophisticated. kevin the floor manager was asking where the floor manager was asking where the lights are the red noses. what about the switch? under my armpit! we will have a look at pep guardiola'sjumper we will have a look at pep guardiola's jumper soon. but first. now — what you can do in 1a minutes? it had been goaless until 72 minutes — but when hearts had a man sent off, livingston went on their scoring sprees — including this brilliant individual one by dolly menga. hearts had one of their men sent off, that could have been one of the reasons. weight hearts have lost six of their last eight games now, and missed the chance to go top. livingstone are just two points behind them in fifth. imagine if you left with 15 minutes

to a lwa ys always stay until the end! imagine getting in your car always stay until the end! imagine getting in yourcarand always stay until the end! imagine getting in your car and putting on the radio, then discovering you missed five goals! ? west brom are up to third in the championship after a 2—1win at promotion rivals sheffield united. the blades had led in the first half but then gareth barry's equaliser and this strike from kieran gibbs completed the west brom turnaround, and takes them to within three points, of leeds in the automatic promotion places. i've got christmas jumper envy this morning. yours is pretty good. it has a touch of class. i think that is a classy christmas jumper. and ? of class. i think that is a classy christmas jumper. and? i'm of class. i think that is a classy christmasjumper. and? i'm leaving it there! manchester city trying to come back from that shock defeat last weekend. he is worried that

players can get distracted not only by the christmas jumpers but by all of the trimmings. now, christmas time is here. the people are thinking of the holidays, they are getting out of school as well and families come back home and have a tendency to not enjoy their christmas times. it is a tough part of the season so we are trying to keep focused. dan, i have hogged your spot. dan, i have hogged your spotm dan, i have hogged your spot. it is a very busy day. one more question about the jumper, they are man city colours. have they sold out? he probably got it in the club shop! i thought he chose it himself, i am disappointed now. i could be wrong but i am being cynical. i am distracted by your mousse, or is it

a reindeer? of course it's a reindeer! i ordered a reindeer costu me reindeer! i ordered a reindeer costume on the internet that it was more like a moose. anyone who is interested , more like a moose. anyone who is interested, look at mike's pictures. it does look more like a moose. perhaps it's the way you wear it? dan's with us to tell us what's coming up on today's football focus. it's an important one, with regards to raheem sterling, one of pep guardiola's players, he made comments regarding racism, john barnes was on the sofa, and we broadened it out, talking about it being a societal issue. we have garth crooks and nigel reo—coker, and we will be having a discussion on this. this is a ten minute discussion covering all of the areas

that raheem sterling touched upon. we involve ourselves in this, we are the media, do we feel part of the problem? frank lampard was talking earlier on, we had a clip of him, he thinks it's a wider problem in society, with social media, people are obsessed with how others look and hiding behind their accounts. we have n'golo ka nte, and hiding behind their accounts. we have n'golo kante, he speaks to us what raheem sterling was talking about. a phenomenal game against city at the weekend but it was overshadowed by some disgraceful and uncomfortable comments from some of the fans, what was the mood in the changing room like after.” the fans, what was the mood in the changing room like after. i now know that there is going to be an investigation taking place. we will wait for that but i hope that this

will be fixed, yes. moore from n'golo kante for you but also the goalkeeper who injured himself with an axe when he was younger! there is an axe when he was younger! there is a sport which is axe throwing. we also have a preview of liverpool against manchester united, last time there was that much of a gap in liverpool's favour was in 1990. we have fa cup replays, a lovely piece on norwich who are doing incredibly well, top of the championship and our predictions from david genoa, involved in sports personality of the year. a secret squirrel from manchester has texted me while we are on—air, saying, let me read it to you, this is important. some breaking news.

hold on, it has gone! he has forgotten his code! that he definitely went into the club shop and bought it. there you go! the boss did go to the club shop! the boss did go to the club shop! the boss does his own shopping. me and the moose. are you wearing that? you are so the moose. are you wearing that? you are so cruel! dan, thank you. and manchester for keeping us up—to—date! could the use of the whip be banned in horse racing within the next few years? well the bbc‘s frank keogh understands that senior figures are preparing for that, possibility, with tougher penalties in big races, likely to be introduced, to improve public image, of race horses' welfare. there's lots of racing coming up over the festive season, and this will be a talking point... new penalties for over using the whip will be announced next month, no suggestion of that in these pictures from bangor—on—dee yesterday. but paul struthers, from the professionaljockeys association says "it won't make a blind bit of difference to horse welfare". racing insiders point to research, that shows modern air—cushioned whips, do not hurt horses, but concede

there is a perception issue over their use. conflicting opinions on that one to be debated over the coming weeks. so far this morning two british athletes are through to the finals of the taekwondo's world grand slam finals — bradly sinden will go for gold in the men's under 68 kilo category and jade jones through in the women's under 57 kilos. the double olympic champion beat marija stetic from croatia in the golden point round of their semifinal... there are still three more britons competing in the semi—finals this morning and you can watch all the action live on the bbc sport website and red button. justin rose is on course to finish, the year as world number one. he needs to finish in the top 12, at the indonesian masters. it's been really difficult in the wind today for the third rounds, for all the players, and rose finished the day one under par, but overall that's still nine under and he's well placed in fourth overall, so well inside where he needs to be, 4 shots clear indeed of those that can stop him

being in the top 12. next, darts in the dark. not our latest saturday morning challenge, although we have done football in the dark. this was for real at the world darts championship. have a look at this. the lights going out mid match at the alexandra palace! the fans tried their best to help by getting their phones out but the players — paul nicholson and kevin burness had to be taken off. not to worry though, it was all sorted shortly after.. maybe somebody just forgot to put some money in the light meter... that would never happen here on bbc brea kfast! that would never happen here on bbc breakfast! never, ever. that is an improvement! start waving your torches. i preferred it in the dark. so did we! the idea of darts in the

dark sounds scary. they have done it with squash and football with uv paint. but throwing errors around? be careful where you stand! do not try that at home! thank you, take care. should you be charged more for your life insurance if you've ever had mental health problems? it's an issue that radio 4's money box programme has been looking at. we can talk to presenter adam shaw — adam, is this a big problem? i was really taken aback by this. i spoke to a very senior member of one of our biggest life insurance companies, scottish widows and he said that numbers on the chart are held closely at these companies because they are commercially sensitive but he revealed this to me, and said when people apply for

that kind of life insurance and other policies, mental health issues are now the number one thing they declare when asked about their medical history. he says that 12% of people report a mental health issue. the second biggest thing is back pain, that's about 6%. i was quite shocked at how big an issue this has become now. if you have had a history of mental illness or mental health problems and you as club insurance, what happens? again, i was shocked. i did not necessarily think that would lead to a big rise in price but it can do. we have been speaking to tina from berkshire who went online to an insurance company to fill out one of those online forms, and she said, yes, i have had a mental health issue in the past, antenatal depression. that was sorted, she is through that and recovered and

feeling well, but that raised her premium prices by 30%. something she could not afford to do. we have been looking at this, and it looks like that can happen to you, but it does not have to. the problem is often if you try to apply for insurance online, the computers can be too crude. they do not understand the distinction between a small problem and the big problem and the advice is often to try and speak to someone, is often to try and speak to someone, try and find a specialist insurer who understands the nature of the problem and is not going, my goodness, we will have to protect herself, and can price accordingly. it may be no more expensive at all, although it can be, but it will be more bespoke if you speak to someone. more bespoke if you speak to someone. it is all well to say, find a specialist, but it is quite difficult in practice to find one and to recognise one? that is a good point. it is easy for me to say that and harder to do it. i have spoken to experts who say, go to a financial advisor. i think lots of

financial advisor. i think lots of financial advisers will not be interested in helping you because they cannot make lots of money out of that. you could go to insurance brokers or use a search engine to find a specialist. but the truth is, i do not think the industry has responded well. they need to do better to directing customers to companies that can help them and understand their problems. this is work in the industry has to pull up its socks on. i knew -- i know you will explore more of those on money box at midday on radio four. thank you. lots of ours will be putting on thermal socks. freezing cold might weather heading our way, and some dangers whether as well, as helen can explain. morning, this is the freezing rain which is quite unusual here. it is, it is a serious weather day, the potential for significant disruption and that is because we have got some unusual weather. all

week we have had cold air battling with mild aircoming week we have had cold air battling with mild air coming of the atlantic and the weather system has not had enough momentum, but today we have had storm deirdre which will force the cold weather out of the way. during the transition we will get severe winter weather. there are amber warnings from the met office for freezing rain and snow. mostly central, northern england and into scotland. this phenomenon of freezing rain is very rear. it means treacherous, widespread black ice as the rain comes in and falls onto frozen surfaces. it happens so quickly it is almost instantaneous that roads and pavements will become treacherous. that is a concern with it being such a busy day in the run—up to christmas. this is storm deirdre. it has severe gale force winds around it, and they are

strengthening, pushing in the wet and windy weather across northern ireland and the south of england. as it comes against the cold air that has been with us for a few days, the ground is frozen and that's where we get problems. it looks like they will be more serious across scotland, northern england and central parts of england. other areas will be affected by severe weather, the potentialfor areas will be affected by severe weather, the potential for freezing rainfor weather, the potential for freezing rain for the site, and we already have the wet weather across the south—west. really nasty conditions on the roads in places. rain in southern areas but there could be temporary snow and some freezing rain from temporary snow and some freezing rainfrom mid temporary snow and some freezing rain from mid wales and the midlands north. it will feel very cold. add onto that three degrees temperatures and gale force winds mac. let's focus on the area for freezing rain.

quite patchy with snow to start with but it could turn to heavy rain. that is when we will get that widespread freezing rain, the black ice scenario that you cannot see, rain falling on a frozen surface and spreading out. also into trees and power lines. in highland scotland, significant snow, drifting snow in the strong winds mac, blizzards and bad visibility. all the severe weather is happening in one day. it is unfortunate because it is a busy day. the strong winds will continue into this evening and overnight. probably the worst conditions from late morning into the evening ten. the snow will continue to fall overnight and it will turn icl swayed anyway, as we get a light frost, particularly in the countryside, but by the time we get past tomorrow morning, and the chilly weather, it is back to sunshine and showers on a relatively quiet day but the potential for

danger is conditions today if you're out and about. we have got to be mindful over the next few hours. thanks. the death of a british backpacker in new zealand has raised fears over the safety of young people travelling alone. 22—year—old grace millane went missing in auckland at the start of the month and her body was found just over a week later. a 26—year—old man has since been charged with her murder. joining us now to talk about this are travel writers alice nettleingham and yari coello. good morning to both of you. thank you for coming in. you have both travelled alone around the world. alice, you have experience of it not necessarily going to plan, just tell us necessarily going to plan, just tell us what happened to you, your story? yes, this is the thing with travelling alone, any kind of life experience does has —— have its ups and downs and when i was in india, i was sexually assaulted, and it was a

very difficult experience. about 1a months ago, but it has not put me off travel whatsoever. what was the reaction of people to you when you had that horrendous experience, but you were on your own? did people say, you need to be with someone else, you need to not be going on your own? regardless of sex, whatever, we all have the right to be able to walk down any street we want, and explorer and liver dreams, without fear, but we have to be mindful. what did people say to you? my mindful. what did people say to you? my friends and family know who i am. they are very proud of what i want to do, they encourage me all the way, so even though that had happened, they fully supported me in still being there. i actually did stay in that town. i was determined to not let it put me off, and i stayed there for another month. they

we re very stayed there for another month. they were very supportive. i do not think my parents were very supportive. i do not think my pa rents let were very supportive. i do not think my parents let on how worried they were, but above and beyond, they will always support me and i am so grateful for that. i am so sorry you have been through that. it is brave of you to share your story and be pa rt of you to share your story and be part of this debate. was there a point after it happened when you thought, i wish i had been with someone thought, i wish i had been with someone else and had not done this on my someone else and had not done this on my own? no, absolutely not. i trusted my own capabilities, and in what i want to achieve in life, and not for a second did i think, i should have been with someone else. yari, one of the things that is brought up, we have heard this for yea rs, brought up, we have heard this for years, students taking a year out, going off, people wanting life experiences, there are positives and ups and downs, but the case of grace millane highlights the dangers and

the outrage that anyone should be put in that situation. what are pa rents put in that situation. what are parents notice it to their kids, or to loved ones who are saying, i fa ncy to loved ones who are saying, i fancy going and doing this, it is my time? yes, i mean, having done it myself and you do have the good experiences and the bad experiences, ido experiences and the bad experiences, i do recognise that, but parents should be encouraging their kids to get out there. it is a part of growing up and personal development. more than anything, travel is so enriching and you grow so much from the experience. particularly for women, there is a sense of empowerment when you travel alone and you really grow. they should still be encouraging their kids to do it, but i would still advise that that should be with the sense of caution, with planning and preparation, so you go but you do it ina preparation, so you go but you do it in a savvy way, so you are as prepared as you can be for a potentially dangerous situations.

one of the shocking things about the tragic end to the life of grace millane was that this was in new zealand. it is that sharp intake of breath, it is one of the travel capitals of the world. what message is sent out. india, we have had lots of incidents and difficult situations, particularly for women from the west going there, but when you hear it is new zealand, what does that make you think in terms of where to go next? go-ahead, alice. i just think that there is good and bad in the world with every you go. people as me if i take the same precautions in my home country as i do when travelling and i do, because whether we like it or not, that is the state of the world for women. i do not mean to be so dramatic about that but whether you're travelling or not, women take precautions about where they are going and what they do when they go out. you have to.

but as we really want to stress, you cannot let that stop you doing what you want to do in life. there are dangers anywhere in the world, there are dangers when you step out of your front door. is there anywhere your front door. is there anywhere you would not go? no. i would go anywhere. i think it is about being as informed as you can before you go. every word comes with its stereotypes and fear mongering. i would not want to be put off by a play is that there are stereotypes that you think it looks like one thing. i have been to so many places that have been nothing like what i thought they would have been like. agreed. the culture, the people. i am going to pakistan and i cannot wait, iam am going to pakistan and i cannot wait, i am so excited. i am working it out but i got back from backpacking, so i went to explore more of eastern europe.” backpacking, so i went to explore more of eastern europe. i have not seen more of eastern europe. i have not seen lots of that. you can remove salford from your list as well. yes.

thank you for coming. after three months of show—stopping routines, sequins and spray tans, tonight sees the final of this year's strictly come dancing. but which of the four finalists will waltz their way to victory? our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has been to meet them. tonight's four celebrities taking to the dance floor. so, how are they feeling ahead of the final? excited. prepared. excited. they will be performing three routines, a show dance, a favourite and one picked by thejudges. for stacey and kevin, it will be their leaderboard topping foxtrot from week four. journalist and documentary maker stacey says she is thankful to have got this far.

i suppose the overriding emotion is, this sounds really cheesy, but sort of gratitude. you are so delighted to still be involved in the competition and it has just been amazing. it has not been particularly poignant or gut wrenching, it has just been an amazing celebration. forjoe and dianne, thejudges have picked their paso doble. youtube starjoe says the public response has been amazing. i struggle with most dances on the show because i do not pick things up very quickly, so each week has been a new struggle, but it is that support, it is those messages of support, the videos that are sent in, videos of the youngsters trying to copy your dances and redo your routines from the week before, that is what it is all about and that is what gets you through the week. for ashley and pasha, thejudges' pick is their salsa. some viewers have said the pop

star's background has given her an advantage. ashley is not so sure. i did have dance when i was younger, it was a completely different style and it has been over 20 years since i trained, so listen, i absolutely love that i got asked to be here, and i am so grateful i have gotten to learn latin and ballroom, and it has been an amazing experience. the judges have selected their viennese waltz for faye and giovanni. the former steps singer has also, of course, danced in the past. with every strictly series there has always been a mix of abilities, absolutely, but it is an entertainment show at the end of the day, and i think it has been really lovely to see everybody's

individualjourney, and it has been amazing to be part of a brilliant series. this evening, all the finalists will be hoping for this kind of reaction from the judges, and more importantly, the public, because it is they who will be deciding who will lift this year's glitterball trophy. we will speak to a strictly super fan who says after
