t£1 “ni fi£1§iifli “£121 well. temperatures really struggling, particularly in the fog for any length of time. looking ahead to saturday, by this stage most likely with the sunshine in eastern scotland, out west, more cloud. if you squint at the temperatures, well, maybe they can nudge upwards a little bit. as we move into the second half of the weekend, high pressure is still in charge, but it might retreat southwards enough to allow this frontal system into northern areas and that will sink southwards during the day on sunday. nothing much more than a band of cloud, maybe the odd spot of rain. to the north of it, more sunshine, and temperatures between five and nine degrees, not far where they should be at this time of year. this is how mundane looks. some large areas of cloud, potentially fog patches too, should see some spells of sunshine. then again temperatures a little bit higher, particularly in western areas. now as we head into the middle part of next week it may be that high pressure does retreat southwards. more of a see a little

rain and in this weather set up we would temporarily at least bring a shot of colder air down from the north. so don't be surprised if temperatures dip again around the middle part of next week. then our area of high pressure tries to build its way back in. so we will see more in the way of dry weather. but there is always the potential for weak frontal systems to get close to the north of the uk. but generally speaking during next week it might be chilly for the middle park of —— pa rt be chilly for the middle park of —— part of the week but tempered it should be where they are, largely dry, a lot of cloud, but the potential for some frost and fog at night. slow changes for the next few days. this is bbc news, i am clive myrie. we will be taking a look at some of the front pages without guests. but first, two men arrested in manchester on suspicion of arranging the illegal movement of migrants

gci’oss the illegal movement of migrants across the channel into the uk. meanwhile, the home secretary questions whether people trying to illegally crossed the channel are genuine asylum seekers. rail passengers face a hike in fares of more than 3% despite cancellations across the network. shares and apple have fallen after the ceo warns revenue will be lower than expected, claiming the slowdown in china. and nasa unveils the first clear images of the most distant object ever visited by spacecraft, ultima thule. hello again and welcome to look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are katie and henry. again. no real

consensus as to what should be on the front page. we are going to start with the metro. even more of a crush hour on our trains. that is the front page on the metro there. and that is the warning about the trains again, from the labor party front bench, the independent reporting that the home secretary has been criticised for saying that the government will do everything it can to stop migrants crossing the channel. it could be a tough year for taz were according to the financial times which says there are profit concerns after the company cut the price of vehicles in the us. —— tesla. david davies urges —— david davis urges the prime minister to delay the brexit deal, saying that the more the uk prepares to leave without a deal, the more likely a good deal will become at

key element power. brexit on the guardian, saying jeremy corbyn will d efy guardian, saying jeremy corbyn will defy members calls for a second referendum insisting the government should secure a new deal with the eu if the deal is voted down. billy conneuy if the deal is voted down. billy connelly has parkinson's disease and has told the daily mirror, he is not scared of dying but says it's an adventure. while the times says universities faced the credit crunch as they mount debts trying to attract more students from home and abroad. and the daily mail says breathalyser test to detect early signs of cancer could save thousands of lives every year. we will start of lives every year. we will start of the guardian. jeremy corbyn defies labor party calls for a second referendum. a lot of talk when he came in and became leader that he would listen to the membership, that it's the members who run the party, not necessarily the hierarchy. he says he is going to defy this. everyone listens to

the members until they see something they don't like. labor party members would like there to be a second vote. it would be electorally very bad for the labor party. before theresa may loses the vote, that is the moment the labor party pushes for a general election, and we will negotiate with fossils. now what he's saying, if she loses the vote, she should go back to fossils and it gives the responsibility to the prime minister and you would have theresa may's deal, plus a key element of the labor party's policy. that means no big trade deals with the us, china and india, so that looks like more of a possible outcome if theresa may loses the

vote. have they given up on the idea ofa vote. have they given up on the idea of a general election?” vote. have they given up on the idea of a general election? i think ultimately, the labor party wanted general election. working out how they get the votes in a confidence vote. it is the case of politics to put the ball back in theresa may's court because if this deal is voted down, and right now, it is voted down, and right now, it is voted down, how many times can she go back? what is going to happen. if she goes soft, how will the brexit supporters react? it is making a theresa may's problem that if you make it a problem, the more time you do that the better chance you can call a confidence vote. i don't think it's replacing the idea of

getting an early election of its buying them time because what they tried to do here is back a second referendum. without a poll out today showing that over seven in ten labor party members want a second referendum to be party policy. whether a second referendum would back remain, i'm moving the conversation, they don't want to do that because go to scare off some potential voters in an eventual general election. they want to get votes from areas that voted leave as well is remain. this is a way to not make it the labor party's problem for the time being. does that also pointed jeremy corbyn's on conviction on where he stands on the idea of britain remaining in the european union, potentially if there is another referendum. brexit supporters are other don't ——

adamant that itjeremy corbyn was a backbencher, he would be advocating for britain to leave the eu, the matter which party was in government. they think is a brexit supporters heart. his team says it is nonsense it's clear he doesn't share the same love for the eu that many other labor party members and mps do. he also has particular concerns around state aid and the radical socialist agenda that he would like but there is a recognition that the labor party needs to pick up seats in the next general election to get into power. u nless general election to get into power. unless you can really win over, you can't be seen as being a remain supportive. that's gone to the telegraph. david davis is theresa may should delay the brexit vote.

does that make sense? you don't want to lose the vote, maybe she should, but she is already delayed it wants. it would go down very badly. they organised a confidence vote against. over a third of her mps voted against her. they can't do that against her. they can't do that again but there are things other mp5 could do anything if she were to try and delay it too far, you would see pro— remain mps perhaps think about voting. you already have nick boles he is conservative, saying that he would vote in any way possible to stop no deal brexit so if mps start to worry that you are putting off the boat, you increase the chances ofa the boat, you increase the chances of a deal voting down. it's pretty dangerous for her. currently, its blues— lose. unless she has a rabbit to polite about next week when she says what concession brussels has given heron the

says what concession brussels has given her on the backstop, doing this deal, if she can get a concession, there might be light at the end of the tunnel. this idea of david davis that the longer you leave this, the more you back the eu into a corner and they will come up with a better deal the 11th hour, is the credence? no, there is no evidence. let's move on. this is difficult to take from david davis because he was saying that you can't kick the can down the road but now he's saying you kick it a bit more. there is a £39 billion payment that the uk is due to pay to the eu and david davis says you don't have to pay that if it no deal. the commitment to have signed up to already. if you want the partner signing agreements with other countries, you don't would be the kind of country that hasn't picked up kind of country that hasn't picked up its barbel on the way out. i

think this comp card is probably less than brexit supporters imagine. one of the reasons, the vote was delayed, this ferry contract. it doesn't have any ferries as of yet. but there are other preparations going on and now they are happening, perhaps the eu will take the idea that the uk's serious but i think that the uk's serious but i think thatis that the uk's serious but i think that is undermined slightly but the fa ct that is undermined slightly but the fact that you have numerous mps saying if you get near that, you will do everything to stop it. and putting all the sort of measures in place, just in case there is no deal. it costs money. there is millions. well, billions. that's why the treasury is not desperately keen to spend the money. in the scheme of it, compared to massive economic disruption and the lost tax revenues, it's not that much. the

real enemy of no deal is lack of time. you can't simply be uprooted and divorced from the major trading partner ina and divorced from the major trading partner in a period of three, five, six months. on to the metro, even more about crush hour on our trains. labour says carriages will soon be 200% overcrowded. as they push their case the public ownership. it's the renationalisation of the railways, one of the most popular manifesto pledges that labour had on the 2017 snap election. because railfares have gone up, labour have gone on the offensive, jeremy corbyn in king's cross saying this and one thing they are saying is not only prices going up, you're less likely to get a seat. it's going to be 2% overcrowded soon. the railways are not fit for purpose. it's an

effective line and for some people on both sides, they think public transport could play a decisive part in the next election because you can talk about brexit all day but what is annoying people on a daily basis? ido is annoying people on a daily basis? i do feel that people think it's unfair that prices are going up in the service is subpar. but worse than in the last 20 years apparently, henry, the disruptions and cancellations. yet you still get and cancellations. yet you still get an above inflation increase. some had argued the government should freeze prices particularly korea with a hat that timetable mixup last year. the government didn't do that. is that a big mistake? the government is caught between a rock and a hard place. it was to champion the free market, that is the ideological bent of the government and itjustifies ideological bent of the government and it justifies the whole policy and it justifies the whole policy and set up endorsing the rail system but on the other hand, you have

commuter anger. i think a lot of them would pay more if the service was better than freezing revenues, throttling the amount of money going to the system would be an unpopular policy to many commuters but the government is going to get the blame for this. what people also say is, most people in this country don't depend on trains to get to work. buses are a bigger part of the network in many parts of the country. by sticking its neck out, labour is showing that it cares about public services in the eyes of vote rs about public services in the eyes of voters and is katie said, that's a valuable local strategy to them. lots of tories think this is the market at work, these companies are being handed these contracts with very little competition, so it is the worst of both worlds. ok, the financial times, henry, last—minute john lewis shoppers bring cheer,

yeah, it seems what people do what i did, get the presence three minutes before christmas. i don't know why people left it until the last minute, christmas eve trading was very strong atjohn minute, christmas eve trading was very strong at john lewis, minute, christmas eve trading was very strong atjohn lewis, which feeds into the big issue of what's happening on the high street, we saw hmp go into administration, there is the question about whether they can really compete with amazon with better tax treatment, delivery, those kinds of things. what we don't know is whetherjohn lewis was discounting things very steeply in order to get those sales. so the first figuresjust order to get those sales. so the first figures just measure total sales. john lewis is such a strong brand. it has the christmas ad, the promise on price. it is the place you go if you don't have ideas about what to get your family for christmas. it is the last shop... the last chance saloon. christmas. it is the last shop... the last chance saloonlj christmas. it is the last shop... the last chance saloon. i made my trip on the 23rd twojohn lewis. some of these folk then.

trip on the 23rd twojohn lewis. some of these folk thenlj trip on the 23rd twojohn lewis. some of these folk then. i don't think i got a massive discount though. i was shortchanged. yes, think i got a massive discount though. iwas shortchanged. yes, ok. interesting on the front of the mail, the cancer breathalyser, scientists' device set to revolutionise diagnosis. this is a potentially revolutionary way of working out early signs of cancer, which can be done through a breathalyser, and the advantage, and there has been promising early trials, the advantage would be that you could — lots of cancers are very ha rd to detect you could — lots of cancers are very hard to detect very early on. and at that point naturally that is when it is easiest to cure. so with those types of cancer, you get to know in advance and therefore save a lot of lives. the caveat is they say the test could replace current screening programmes ina test could replace current screening programmes in a decade. so it is not imminent, but it is within the grasp of our generation. so it is one to watch. obviously there are lots of

caveats here. whether or not we should presume it will happen. the idea that you could do it... they can work out the chemicals. so that is how they do it, ok. and it is a british device. cancer research is the organisation quoted in this. it would change how cancer is seen. at the moment it is seen as a dark spectre. the big c. yes, the disease we won't even name and yet the prognosis for many people who are diagnosed is very good at an early stage. so if it is as simple as a breathalyser test, not going into hospital to have lots of you know invasive tests, people might see it as something easily treated. it doesn't have to cause huge disruption. not to say it isn't hugely serious. yes, the stigma that surrounds it as opposed to other diseases. maybe that would be affected in a positive way. finally, a p pa re ntly affected in a positive way. finally, apparently there is a snowman out in the middle of the solar system, according to the front of the i,

nasa finds a snowman at the edge of the solar system, this is ultima thule. yes, so, initially, back in 2018, the view was that this looked like cashew nut, or lots of various things. yes, cashew nut. 2019, and we have a new image more like a snowman. and it happened a long way away, so the sun is not at all close to this. so it gets very little light. one report is that they think it is red. that did confuse me. red? yes, one report that it was read. it is red. that did confuse me. red? yes, one report that it was readm was angry. the thing is, as you say, because there is no sunlight, no reflection, you can't see shadow, so it looks very smooth, this surface. yes. it isn't pockmarked with craters, but it's a very low resolution photo. we will have high resolution photo. we will have high resolution in february, i think, a few billion light years away.

resolution in february, i think, a few billion light years awaym resolution in february, i think, a few billion light years away. it is 6.5 billion light years away any probably hasn't even heard about brexit! laughter. it is two objects that have collided at close speed. it blows your mind to think about those distances and that kind of experience so far away. and these rocks were there at the creation of the universe apparently. you'd think so, yeah. that is what they reckon. and they slowly move together. yeah and out it is making a cashew nut in the middle of space. it is beautiful. do you think so? if you have a cashew not like that, don't eat it. it doesn't look... you are right, this idea that it is billions of miles away. i don't know how... little old man on earth came up with a probe that could get that far, get there without blowing up or disintegrate or whatever, take a picture and send it back. we haven't done too badly as a species.

exactly! when you think about it. and for nasa, which is occasionally politically a hot potato for us, we think 2019 will wreck the planet, there are not great things to talk about — this is a wonderful scientific cutting—edge piece of research that people are fascinated by. january the second, after new year's eve. it has been good to have you in. many, many thanks for that. that is it for the papers tonight. you can see the rest of them online on the bbc website. and if you miss the programme any evening, it is a lwa ys the programme any evening, it is always there on iplayer. so thank you for watching. goodbye. hello, this is the bbc sport, and

ole gunnar solskjaer has made it four wins from four as they beat newcastle 2—0, lu ka ke four wins from four as they beat newcastle 2—0, lukake coming off the bench to open the scoring, before rashford added the second. see, maybe it is not so tough as manchester united manager, four games, fourwins, ole, ole, ole, the only united boston in the first four games. the first three were convincing. this was one of the scrappy kind. they hardly had the ball. newcastle created the best openings. atsu found wanting, rondon found philjones when he least wa nted found philjones when he least wanted it. newcastle were making their presence felt. the talent for united was ready and waiting.

honestly no surprise that a man who made his name making managed from the bench did it again, lukake came on and this was his first touch —— sub. one impact sub on target, the other turned provider, sanchez‘s inch perfect pass allowing rashford to double the chances. his status as manchester united is secure. more results like this and ole gunnar solskjaer‘s future employment could be too. you'd be happy with four wins, four clea n you'd be happy with four wins, four clean sheet in open play, we have not conceded in a set piece today so that was a big difference. i thought maybe first half we were a bit too slow, passing was a bit too lackadaisical at times. the second half of course, when you get the goal, we controlled the game really well, defenders defended really well. we were concentrated. so, overall, a very professional performance. there were five other games tonight,

and there were six goals in the first half at vitality stadium. just one point for chelsea. they couldn't break down southampton. and a big win for burnley, they came from one down to beat huddersfield, moving that outside the relegation zone. wolf lost 2—0 at home to crystal palace. manchester city boss pep guardiola says no—one trust his team as they set up to face liverpool tomorrow. they have lost two of three and are seven points behind jurgen klopp's team, and pep guardiola things that undermine their confidence and they believe they are coming up against the best team around right now. for me the best team in europe, the way they play, the consistency, the control, the details in their game, it isa control, the details in their game, it is a good challenge for us, so we

are going to produce this, focus on what we have to do to win the game. everybody is asking what happens if we lose. what happens if we win? we are going to try, it is a football game, what we have to do. andy murray suffers another site —— setback. he is playing in his first tournament since september and he lost against medvedev. he said yesterday he doesn't know how much longer he can continue to play at the top level. his next scheduled tournament is the australian open which starts on 1a january. there was injury concern for england's by was injury concern for england's rugby union team before the six nations, as sam underhill could be ruled out with ankle ligaments with bath's win against sunderland. he will see a specialist to find out the extent of the problem. recovery time is around six weeks. england

start the six nations campaign with a visit to defending champions ireland on the second of february. that is all of your sport for now, good night. good evening. it is cold out there at the moment. it looks likely to be the coldest night of winter so far. temperatures in braehmer, aberdeenshire, already —9 degrees, so that's where we have clear skies at the moment. not everywhere seeing those temperatures because we've got quite a lot of cloud spilling in along the coastline and that's going to prevent temperatures from falling low. those cold areas for eastern scotland, through the borders, the north of england and wales, south—west first thing tomorrow morning. so, widespread hard frost, even freezing fog patches forming in places, but there should be some decent spells of sunshine and it is this theme that will continue writing to the early half of the weekend. so stating quite chilly. some sunshine around. frost and fog

never far away. because of this area of high pressure driving the story so far this year, it will stay with us, we have cold air to the east, mild air always trying to push him from the atlantic, and that will produce a little more moisture the further west you are and perhaps not quite as cold. but unfortunately not the lovely sparkling skies and the sunshine. so as we go through thursday the best of the sunshine likely to be wed a chilly start is, certainly northern england and wales, and we are optimistic the cloud should break up in london as well. so highest values tomorrow of around four to six degrees but where we have the cloud to the west, maybe eight or nine degrees. through thursday evening, those temperatures are likely to fall away yet again. ina are likely to fall away yet again. in a different place thursday into friday, the coldest spots look likely across central and southern areas of england and the, where we could see some freezing fog as an issue. —— england and were you will.

it is all happening in the mediterranean. —— england and wales. closer to home, no snow in the forecast, but a cold and frosty start. if we get some freezing fog lingering, that really could have an impact on the feel of things and temperatures only struggling to climba temperatures only struggling to climb a few degrees above freezing in places, but a different story further west, in the north—west scotland, 10 degrees. into the weekend, as cold and it will be largely dry with some sunny spells coming through. that is it. good night. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines... latest attempt to halt the us government shutdown ends without agreement on both sides blame each other. apple shares falling as it warns of disappointing sales in china that have made a big dent in its revenues. i am lewers fawnjones in london. also in the programme...
