successful formula 1 era. the most successful formula 1 driver turns 50 today. a record 71 titles, 91 race wins, and jaw—dropping brilliant spotting over the master and the weight of times, that insatiable will to be first to cfoss that insatiable will to be first to cross the line often across the line. he was destined for greatness from his first race withjordan in 1991, gary anderson recalls fondly. he expected to be great at things but you never know what it's going to grow up to be, as far thought was concerned we new you is potentially very quick. then in december 2013 not long after retiring, tragedy struck. good evening the former world racer michael schumacher isn't mental conditioning —— is in critical condition in the hospital. he has spent the last five years

receiving round—the—clock care at his home. little has been revealed about his recovery. to mark his birthday is family released a statement reassuring fans that he is in the very best hands and doing the best thing to help them. today the official michael schumacher apples launched allowing fans to take a virtual tour of the museum dedicated to his cars and career. —— michael schumacher app was launched... he has a reputation of a ruthless competitive racer. a lot of people but he was very published. he was very private, but whatever you did get into a conversation with them and was in a hotel or restaurant, he would have a beer with you. i think he is an exceptional talent and it's a sad situation that he we are in. schumacher‘s legacy remains intact.

his sun will raise in 2019 and matching his fathers achievements remains the benchmark. still to this day as the german reaches this landmark milestone, such international interest acclaim and respect is reserved just for him. that's all from sportsday. of course there's plenty more on the bbc sport website, but for me and the rest of the night, good night. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me are jason beattie, head of politics at the daily mirror and owen bennett, head of politics at city a.m. welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro reports on the arrest of banned radical cleric abu hamza's son, imran kamel, who has been charged with possession of a firearm. the telegraph also features an image of imran kamel but leads with a brexit line, reporting that more than half of conservative party members would prefer to leave the eu without a deal. almost 1,000 officers are to begin training for deployment in northern ireland in case of brexit chaos, that's according to the guardian, which also has an image from the chinese probe which has reached the far side of the moon. the daily mail gives an update on their appeal to find jack shepherd, who is on the run from a 6—year—prison—sentence for manslaughter. they report that he could be anywhere in the world, as officials

failed to confiscate his passport. and the financial times focuses on tech giant apple's warning over weak sales in china, after the company looks to have had its biggest one—day share price drop in five years. so there you go that's the flavour of the front pages. that kicked off then, brexit and has been quiet over then, brexit and has been quiet over the christmas holidays. it is back with a vengeance on the front pages of the telegraph. yes, and as you are saying the premise or wanted to be quiet because she wants to take the heat out of brexit to try get the heat out of brexit to try get the mps to reconsider her plant for a withdrawal agreement. wherever she had a bill before christmas because she was heading for quite a catastrophic defeat. she was hoping that over christmas period some tension that was building up that

had a fetid atmosphere amongst that mike that would diffuse and now boom we're back in the new year and we seem to be exactly where we were before. at this difficulty we have this poll done, showing that the tory party members just like the labour party members are out of step with the party leader. is that added pressure of the prime minister? the gamble is if we send the mps home, and talk to their constituents and third party members, and they will say that the deal we don't want no deal but it doesn't look that will has been happening. people say she is running down the trough affectively. it's running down the clock between the steel and no deal. some people do what no deal. —— it's running down the clock between this

deal and no deal. conservative mps wa nt deal and no deal. conservative mps want no deal. the die-hard group of brexit supporters will happily go for no deal completely blind to the consequences of it. what they call ita consequences of it. what they call it a managed the deal. they call it a managed no deal as well. i think thatis a managed no deal as well. i think that is what i call a management deal. that actually does lightly worry me because the tory party membership nowadays is quite small but stop we're talking tens of thousands. —— is quite small. we're talking tens of thousands and they still think no deal is a saner possibility. that is despite all of the official groups warnings from the official groups warnings from the government, and every expert economist and the country warning to the opposite. he is a leading brexit

supporters saying this, and he says that he can change peoples minds. 0k lets go onto apple. we're used of reporting is extraordinarily good results from apple, suddenly the news is not also quite so good. they have a chunk taken out, and sort of china is that the blame? it's basically because the access to apple and the peers because of the tray were going on because it's more trump in china. the value of the company that drop down below amazon and microsoft, so there is a fear that this is going to be going to other companies as well. a lot of this is about the access to intellectual property rights, the kind of thing which the americans and china are forcing companies to get into bed with chinese companies, and that is the sense of this row.

one theory is that apple products in the iphone sold so well the people with the come up with an improvement over the next—generation iphone people don't want to buy it because it's a marginal improvement on what they already have. i would not feel too sorry for apple because there are now only worth 680 billion which is what more than switzerland is worth. they're going for the fangs which is facebook, amazon, netflix and google. these big monopoly companies which started as courageous buccaneers of tech business in the last kind of 20 yea rs business in the last kind of 20 years ago are now starting to feel the pressure which comes from being the pressure which comes from being the establishment companies, and you have to wonder wonder whether one

becomes so large it becomes dangerous, and in the secondary question you can say that show relationships between americans and china and whether the chinese market gained, too much as a part of the world economy. the independent has the most powerful woman in america. this is nancy pelosi the democrat in america, her grandchildren are there. it is a time in american politics because you have the divided government in some ways. exactly the government is shut down in the moment and i think this is her second time being speaker was that it's a fantastic pitch today what their grandchildren looking so happy. i think it's going to lead to more pharisees for trump for the b's going to be under greater scrutiny

because —— lead to more scrutiny for trump. she has two challenges, with how do you deal with someone who is as erratic and maverick as trump, and that she also has the internal challenge of new generation of young democrats were much more radical. they want her to become much more to offer more partisan than trump. connected play into trump's hand because he also wants to say that when we get to the politics america is at its worst. we're going to see a real test of below c++ skills. —— pelosi bus must skills. —— pelosi's

skills. he then throws john pelosi bus must skills. —— pelosi's skills. he then throwsjohn lennon under the bus because he says if we got this to the beatles would have gotten all over. i think if anybody needed it it wasn't the beatles. autotune basically correct wrong notes is that right? it pulls the sound towards the note you put, and then oppose the sound waves to the nearest notes, and it was much famously used on the share had believed. we all could get it boy band together. -- one hit believe. i enjoyed he would be horrified at the idea. i think that is the point that he is making that actually he looks

and he was experiment thing all the time. they were doing things i try to make a guitar sound like a piano. that doing things like try to make a guitar sound like a piano. people like david bowie but he did use this technology. i think the point mccarthy is making of the technology was around and he would have used it. thank you very much indeed. that's it for the papers this hour — but we'll be back at 11.30 don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any you think you can watch later. —— evening you can watch later. good evening many places have been

plagued by large amounts of cloud today, and many of us hold onto clouds tonight. the skies to clear and there is a potential for cost and there is a potential for cost and fog most specifically eastern scotla nd and fog most specifically eastern scotland and the midlands wells in southern parts of england. it could be quite dense and more cloud for northern ireland and western and and a slightly milder air here as well but for eastern scotland and for east central and southern parts of england and wales it will be a chilly night with quite a wide frost. we go into tomorrow and there can be dense of fog. it is these areas most likely to see sunshine once the fog clears. sunshine in the northern parts of england, and cloud across the northwest. temperature still in the single digits looking ahead to the weekend, it's dry with cloudy weather and perhaps turning a little bit less chilly by sunday. this is bbc news — i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11:00:

a new chapter in lunar exploration as the chinese space agency lands a probe on the far side of the moon, beaming back images from the previously unexplored surface. this is not china following in the footsteps of naz shah or the russian space agency, this is then pushing ahead and doing something for the first time. the democrats take control of the new us house of representatives with nancy pelosi elected as speaker and promising to end the shutdown. democrats will be offering the senate republican appropriations legislation to reopen government later today. the son of the banned radical cleric abu hamza appears in court charged with firearms offences. more than £40 billion is wiped off the value of the technology
