of scotland. hello. this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. theresa may will tell parliament that another referendum would break faith with voters, as a senior minister says mps should have a say on all the options. a five—year—old boy becomes the third victim of a house fire in nottinghamshire. his mother and eight—year old sister died yesterday. bad weather is blamed for a fall in the number of high street shoppers on one of the busiest days before christmas. tour de france winner,

geraint thomas, wins bbc sports personality of the year 2018. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcasterjohn stapleton and political correspondent for the spectator, katy balls. let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages. just a quick look through the front pages. the guardian leads on theresa may's insistence that there should not be a second referendum amid growing calls for a new vote. it's the same lead for the metro. the paper says the prime minister will reiterate her oppostion to another referendum after reports her aides are plotting one behind her back. ‘dont dare steal our brexit‘

says the daily express, which also focuses on mrs may's insistence that that the result of the 2016 referendum is delivered. the i leads on plans emerging within the government to end the political deadlock over brexit, with reports cabinet ministers are pressuring theresa may to let mps vote on all of the main options including a second referendum. the daily telegraph splashes on warnings from prominent brexiteer borisjohnson who says that a second vote would be a betrayal. theresa may shares that view, according to the independent — which says the prime minister is pushing back against calls for a new poll. the daily mirror is campaigning to keep free tv licenses for over 75s and welcomes the backing of former prime minister gordon brown. the daily mail says the nhs wants to double its volunteer army

in recognition of what it calls the huge benefits for patient care. let's go to our chapter now and we got a taste of what is coming up and it isa got a taste of what is coming up and it is a brexit festival, but you need to stay with us on this. because we have got some great stories coming up. let's start off the independent. under the picture of theresa may with a dog baring its teeth we have the story you have made the headline of already with theresa may saying in a speech tomorrow that we should quell support for a fresh referendum. interesting this has been in advance of the speech and perhaps an indication that she is getting worried about what people see as growing calls but she takes the view it's worth releasing now and the public should know about it before

the speech tomorrow because she said it would cause irreparable damage to the integrity of our politics —— politics and we should not break faith by trying to stage another referendum when she goes on to say that she thinks that a separate referendum would be divisive and sultry party is split in the labour party is split and parliament is split and there would be more devise if we had another referendum. so she says there is no way to allow it. she said that but she never said that about the major issue last week. the faith of brexit for the british people is being sorely tested. and you have had a prime minister say we won't delay a vote oi’ minister say we won't delay a vote or have an early election. so when she says we're not going to have a second referendum, you start to think it's going happen. but i think pa rt of think it's going happen. but i think part of the reason they felt the urgency to pre—brief this and say we should not have a second referendum

is there's reports over the weekend that members of the top team are making plans for a second referendum and thinking about it because they think it might be the only way to break the deadlock. now it seems that if they are plotting that then theresa may is either not aware or not going to let them do that. they have raised it very carefully about what they are plotting and i think thatis what they are plotting and i think that is why is so the prime minister is saying no matter what you read about my team i won't let a second referendum happened. the problem is that not everybody thinks she is in full control. they have denied they are plotting but they are not denying about having mps having meetings about the possibility, or no deal all sorts of issues that might come up. hot on the heels of this release by downing street, dame margaret petric —— margaret beckett hasissued margaret petric —— margaret beckett has issued a statement and this is like an election with people

battling to space and trying to command headlines and do each other down, margaret beckett says it's highly significant that downing street felt they had to issue advance extracts on sunday night because officials know the prospect ofa because officials know the prospect of a peoples vote is being discussed not just of a peoples vote is being discussed notjust in westminster but in the corridors of right —— whitehall as well. and it is becoming overwhelmingly clear that people from all parties now recognise that this is the best way forward to have a second vote. what do you make of the language? it is described as plotting, but isn't itjust forward planning? it is a free vote. plotting, but isn't itjust forward planning? it is a free votelj plotting, but isn't itjust forward planning? it is a free vote. i think there is feeling that theresa may does not have the votes to her deal through parliament and she might somehow might be able to renegotiate parts of her deal with the backstop at all of the signs suggest brussels do not want to renegotiate so it looks hard to pass the deal and

there are cabinet ministers and aides and mp5 all thinking about in different ways. i think the reason the word plotting is being used because as we have seen, the prime minister does not appear to be on board, so if none of —— one of her closest aide is having conversations with others it does feel not above board but as the clock ticks we are hearing more about a second referendum because people are running out of ideas about how to break the impasse. if we move to the telegraph. betrayed is another word being thrown at us for tomorrow morning. the public would feel betrayed by a second vote. morning. the public would feel betrayed by a second votem morning. the public would feel betrayed by a second vote. it may as well be the daily boris because they feel they should get their moneys worth because they paid him a vast amount of money to write the column every week but boris in more colourful language than some others are saying it would be a disaster and it is a sickening thought and adds that people would know immediately they are being asked to

vote again simply because they had failed to give the right answer. and it was all a gigantic plot engineered by politics to overturn and it would provoke instant and irredeemable feelings of betrayal. that is the view of boris. it is rare for borisjohnson that is the view of boris. it is rare for boris johnson to agree with theresa may on something these days so theresa may on something these days so maybe there is a real sunshine here. it is interesting because as we try to come up with a way to get it through or around the current brexit riddle there are some brexit vote rs brexit riddle there are some brexit voters coming to a second referendum not because they have to go through it again but if the options are so unpalatable that they would rather try and get some way to a harder brexit, borisjohnson is not saying that, he says a second referendum would be offensive and divisive but i don't know how he gets what he

wants, whether or not he wants that. these are the politicians speaking to the british public and in any conversation you have been having, with people on the street, is there anything you can add to this? what have people said? an increasing number of people think a second referendum would be a good idea and we know more than we did two and a half years ago and it's only right and proper like a trade union official negotiating a deal, he negotiates the deal and goes back to members to find out whether it's a cce pta ble members to find out whether it's acceptable or not. on the other hand ican acceptable or not. on the other hand i can see the argument that it does undermine democracy. we were told two and a half years ago that this was a one—off chance to settle this now people say we should have a second chance and as liam fox said, if we have a second referendum and the split is there, why not have a third? personally i'm in favour of a

second referendum on the circumstances we are in. could you look at the i newspaper for us, katie. if we won't have a second referendum, they are saying that there is a way to break the deadlock and one idea is to hold a vote and this is something liam fox touched on, hold a vote in the house of commons and indicative vote, so you have various scenarios and they would be things like another referendum and we could also have no deal for norway plus which is a softer brexit then theresa may is proposing at the moment and doing it that way you could gauge the level of support for each option because there is the problem in the commons where everybody can say they do not like the deal but what they cannot agree is what they like instead and lots of people are suggesting this as an approach and some are brexiteers and some are remainers and they have different motives. some of the supporters of theresa

may would like the vote to happen before the big vote on her deal because they want to use it to show that if you vote down the deal you don't have the numbers to get through what you want. my best guess is they will delay the whole thing and it will go on and on and we will be doing it in 12 months' time. the i newspaper is laying out the idea ofa i newspaper is laying out the idea of a free vote and like chris mason who will be talking about this further in the national news. let's go back to the daily telegraph. teachers. badly behaved pupils driving teachers out of the profession. there is a survey quoted by think tank saying that almost two thirds of teachers are considering oi’ thirds of teachers are considering or have previously considered and they reckon that low—level disruption is often caused by mobile phones and is not getting the attention it deserves. they are

calling for mobile phones to be banned completely in classrooms or at least restricted to free time or what i used to call playtime because it is actually causing problems for the teachers and personally i think it's a great idea. why do pupils need their mobile phone in a classroom? they need their mobile phone in a classroom ? they have need their mobile phone in a classroom? they have computers and if they want to research something they can do that. why do you need a mobile phone? to me it makes sense to not have mobile phones in the classroom but i think i'm getting to the point where you think back and it seems like a foreign concept you would have a phone on the desk. i know schools have their own rules but one of the thing the report touches on is the fact that often in the same school there is not a consistent punishment for things like this and it leads to an environment by which pupils feel they are wrongly told off and they don't feel they are in the wrong for the wrong reason. its being

consistent. i think in general, parents would be in favour of mobile phones having limited use. we could just ban them. you know the idea of low—level disruption, i've been in a classroom and i left with a migraine. it's not low—level. it just shouldn't be happening. all credit to our teachers. the telegraph, gareth thomas, winner of sports personality? a worthy winner? what a record this guy has had. with tea m what a record this guy has had. with team sky and sky television said they would not be sponsoring the tea m they would not be sponsoring the team any longer so this is good news for the people involved in that team that garin has won this coveted award. just checking on the background, three world championships, two olympic golds and he won the tour de france. i remember seeing the homecoming when he went back home and it was a

terrific turnout and obviously some local people battling for it, so good on you. the women also feature in quite well this year. they won two awards and that's making history to win the tournament in the first place. we will leave it there but we will be back at 1130. a lovely place to end our papers tonight, so thank you tojohn to end our papers tonight, so thank you to john and to end our papers tonight, so thank you tojohn and katy balls. we will be back at 1130 for another look at the papers, but now it is time for click. the children at this north london school have invited lara and me to learn about one of the most important events in british history. it has been 100 years since the first women in the uk were able to vote in a general election. and this vr experience is attempting to demonstrate how important it is to make your voice heard.

and now repeat after me, this is my voice. all: this is my voice. before the suffragettes, a woman had to know her place. make noise is an eight minute interactive animated documentary story which you use your voice to interact with and it's about the story of the suffragettes. i walked down the strand and the first shop i came to, which was a jeweller's, bang went my hammer through the window. in the early 20th century the british suffragette movement fought for the right of women to vote by protesting and damaging buildings, all the while facing ridicule and anger in the media. sing a note and make a monument with your voice. holding for as long as you can. and that's something

that seemed to resonate with everyone in the room. yes, it did make me feel quite self—conscious to simply make noise, but that was the whole point — for both the female, and maybe more importantly, male participants. reminding everyone of the importance of their voice being heard and valued. what did you think of the experience today? really good and epic. how much of a difference do you think it made learning about a subject like this in vr? i know more about history compared to other games. we can understand it rather than looking at old footage, which makes it seem as though it's boring. if we this way it is more fun watch. when we think about the suffragettes we think about these women, in starched, neat clothing, and we think they're not us. and actually when you hear what they say and the way that they say it and they are giggling and punk as hell,

you think, 0k, actually you can teach me something about how i need to be. this isn't just about them. do you think men and women are equal now? they're not equal. in what ways? men still get paid more than women. look at the buckets, one by one, and call out the names of the women who've inspired you. my mum! sonia! my mum! theresa! they seemed very excited when they could shout out the names of women who'd inspired them. who were yours? um, well, i'm only here because of tomorrow's world, the bbc science programme. and so maggie philbin and judith hann. ..before it can ever fly again. sadly, we may now have taken a step backwards in terms of female figures in technology. the 1970s saw the invention of the computer—driven wordprocessor, built by evelyn berezin, who died this

week at the age of 93. in the 80s, almost 40% of american computer science majors were women. but by 2012 this number had halved. today, in silicon valley, the heart of tech innovation, women only make up a quarter of the workforce. and female founders, on average, get less than half the investment of their male counterparts. that's maybe not surprising when you hear that only 7% of investors are women. so with stats like these we end up living in the world where most things are still designed by men, even if they are designed for women. case in point, this audio interface was recently being marketed specifically to women. great, isn't it. . ? the company has since apologised.

now, if the tech industry has issues with gender balance, you want to take a look at the maritime world, where just 2% of seafarers are female. emily bates has been to snowy turku in finland, land of a thousand lakes, to track down a female captain whose career is about to be transformed by technology. there are many of them, but there are just a few ladies on board. but, yeah, if you do yourjob well, then it shouldn't be a problem. anu loved her life at sea, working her way up the ranks over many years. but once she started a family, she found it increasingly difficult. it became kind of obvious that i need to have a shorebased job to continue. i wouldn't want to miss them growing up. but new tech may allow anu

to continue her career at sea while still coming home to herfamily each night. i went to turku to get on board what is being called the future of shipping. ships like these make up part of finland's road network and complete millions ofjourneys each year. i'm about to get on one that doesn't have a driver. this ship has been retrofitted with a variety of sensors and cameras which allow it to navigate by itself. it can set sail, complete the crossing and even dock itself, all without any human intervention. anu has been heavily involved in the development of the tech. we have object detection, which is done by our intelligent awareness system, which is doing sensorfusion. it's using ais radar and camera to detect an object. this is going to the autonomous

navigation system, which is then the brains who is kind of deciding whether these objects are dangerous for the vessel or not and whether we need to avoid them. while ship's captains like anu went eventually be on board, they will be piloting multiple craft from the shore. should something go wrong with an autonomous vessel, one of these places will be able to take control of it from onshore and steer it to safety no matter where it was in the world. this technology may never be a substitute for the romance of the sea, but it could let people like anu balance the life they want using their years of training and expertise with family life. afghanistan — a country in turmoil. leading an ordinary life in this

war—ravaged country is hard, especially if you're female. it's been described as the worst place on earth to be a woman. kabul‘s babur gardens were lit up this week to mark the close of the un's 16 days of activism to end gender—based violence. yet in the western city of herat, this group of teenage girls cast aside day—to—day concerns over safety, security and mere survival to do something most girls in this country can only dream of. aptly, they are known as the afghan dreamers. translation: every child has a dream, robotics became mine when i watched cartoons with robots as a six—year—old kid. seeing them walking and talking like humans made me think about how they're built, and what makes them different from us.

every week, they get together to code and build robots. their inventions are trying to find solutions to very local problems. translation: more than 8096 of the afghan population works in agriculture, which is still a very manual process here. we would like to change that. our bot can cut wheat and handle the first process, and eventually we would like it to separate the wheat as well, making it easier for the farmer. fatima is the team leader. unusually, her father had greatly encouraged her, only tragically she lost him last year in a suicide bombing, a stark reminder of life here. the girls won last year's prestigious robotex contest in estonia, and that gave them the chance to be able to better their device. so this year, they've gone back with the improved version hoping

they could win the big—money prize on offer this time around. congratulations on reaching the final of the competition, how are you feeling? i'm so excited for this. so we have in here two robots. as you know, saffron is so famous in afghanistan. it is hard for women collecting the saffron by hand. so with this robot, we can help them to collecting all the saffron easier than by hand. we can cut the saffron in here and then we have a process in here. we can do process, and then in here we have an elevator so all saffron can go in here. from there, they can be packaged and transported by the other robot. as a girl interested in robotics in afghanistan, what challenges are you up against? the big challenge is that some families don't allow their girls to go to a robotics convention, because they think a girl isjust for home. i think it's wrong because girls can be like man to do something. i want to be a mechanical

engineer in the future, and i want to help my country to improve there, like, customs, whatever they want. so i want to help them. while change won't come overnight, we may be seeing the dawn of a generation who want to think anything is possible, and surely that's a start. that's all we have time for the short version of click. the full version is on the bbc iplayer. to keep up with the team throughout the week you can find us on facebook and twitter... @bbcclick. on instragram... @bbcclick. at youtube.com/... bbcclick. thanks for watching. see you soon. hello there.

what a difference a day makes. i don't think we will see a return to the snowy and icy conditions, once storm deirdre swept into the cold air we were brought dangerous conditions yesterday but that has now pushed away. cold air has left our shores and everything else is coming in from the atlantic. some cloud with areas of rain as well. we do have one area of rain across the uk right now. not really troubling central and northern scotland, where we had a beautiful sunset in the highlands but it is a different story here in warwickshire, in the midlands, wet weather for the drive during the evening. the rain moves away from wales, heading eastwards and clipping southern scotland, heading into the north sea in the early hours. aside from some showers, clearing skies and light winds. chilly overnight. temperatures not far from freezing. some frost in rural areas.

some icy patches. tomorrow looks to be decent, in the east of the uk. some snowfields in scotland. when speaking up in the west was increasing through the afternoon, in particular. some rain arriving too. southerly winds. mild air. 12 degrees possible in fast. —— belfast. that rain is going to feature in the weather, as it moves in overnight and into tuesday. low pressure comes into play later in the week. let's focus on this rain, moving slowly eastwards across our shores. the winds picking up overnight. a windy start on tuesday. gales on the western coasts. this rain moves eastwards with heavy rain and snowmelt. there could be flooding issues by the end of the day. improving later in northern ireland. it takes all day for the rain to reach east anglia and temperatures mild. ten or 11 degrees.

that weather front takes the rain eastwards through the evening and overnight. moving away. low pressure wanders in towards our shores. there will be sunshine on wednesday. some showers clipping the south—east for a while. mostly arriving into northern ireland in western scotland and over the irish sea into western ireland and wales. temperatures lower on wednesday, highs of seven to 10 degrees. theresa may is to tell mps another brexit referendum risks breaking faith with voters. a senior minister says mps should vote on other options. a five—year—old boy becomes the third victim of a house fire in nottinghamshire. his mother and eight—year—old sister died yesterday. bad weather is blamed for a fall yesterday. bad weather is blamed for afall in yesterday. bad weather is blamed for a fall in the number of high street

shoppers on one of the busiest days before christmas. tour de france winner geraint thomas wins bbc sports personality of the year 2018. at 11:30 p.m., we'll take a look at the papers with our reviewers, john sta pleton the papers with our reviewers, john stapleton and katie balls.
