hello. this is bbc news with ben brown. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines: 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 nasa or the russian or the russian space agency, this is then pushing or the russian space agency, this is them pushing ahead and doing something for the first time. the democrats assume control of the new us house of representatives with nancy pelosi elected as speaker and promising to end the government shutdown. 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 giant apple — they blame a slowdown in sales in china. 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. 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 six—year—prison—sentence for manslaughter. they report that he could be anywhere in the world as officials failed to confiscate his passport. 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. the daily express reports on the recall of four batches of blood pressure tablets over fears they could cause cancer. and a warning from doctors to parents about children's access

to technology is on the front of the times, after a study linked heavy social media use to depression. rather bruised apple to light, making good on sales. this is because there are fears that the performance or the all—importa nt chinese market. the trade war taking place in the united states, donald trump in particular, and the chinese. this is the weight of this year, one is if this trade war.

facebook, comments going through a difficult time. these were the bright young companies from the late 90s, early 2000, the outsiders, and pioneers, and this idea, are they becoming too big. apple ‘s products are so becoming too big. apple ‘s products are so good. and it's saying that people aren't really interested because the incremental gains from buying an expensive new were not that big. it is an incremental,

perhaps we are not willing to pay for it. some of them are £1000. this is serious money and people are worried about other things and risks of other hits to their wages. china is the place they have forecast a lot of our growth and of the chinese market is as open to them as it was before, they run the risk of their companies perhaps losing value and on top of that, you have the uk looking at digital revenue tax. that is something that will split these companies and they will be a lot less willing to play ball and messy pressures on profits from other areas. when everything is rosy, but at the moment, they have other things to worry about. as i would say, apple is still worth $680 billion which is more than entire

economies. but all great empires have to go into decline at some point. right, jason. it's been a very quiet christmas and new year period without much brexit news but it's back. how have we missed it, not talking about brexit. theresa may wants to pull back parliament, hoping that over the holiday period some attention would defuse. mps would go back to their constituents. the 14th of january, maybe

would go back to their constituents. the 14th ofjanuary, maybe having would go back to their constituents. the 14th of january, maybe having a better chance to succeed. 23% supported, 57% would ashley prefer an ideal brexit. i worry about the communication of these people. to me, i'm not sure i understand. this is not what theresa may was hoping. what is your best guess about what could happen? almost nobody seems to actually know. the matter how you try to go down, i can't see how they're still gets through parliament. you don't think the arithmetic shifted over christmas? jason hit the nail on the head when he said theresa may hope something would change. she hopes that somehow something would change but it's not going to. i think parliament then

would pass a resolution saying you can't let no deal happen and there would be some extension to the talks. that's probably the most likely outcome. i can't see a second referendum happening. delay article 50? bring the transition period into play. something along those lines. is that your best guess? anybody who tells you with any certainty what is going to happen... what we do know is there are various scenarios. as 0wen says, we send theresa may or the next prime minister back to the negotiating table. have a second referendum will have some sort of general election. there is a deadlock which has to be resolved.

another referendum, do you think that's possible? i don't think there are the numbers for it in parliament. there are eight tory mps, parliament. there are eight tory mp5, 44 parliament. there are eight tory mps, 44 labourmps. parliament. there are eight tory mps, 44 labour mps. jeremy corbyn is relu cta nt to mps, 44 labour mps. jeremy corbyn is reluctant to do it. people don't know what the question should be. i can't see it. interesting in the guardian, they've got a different ta ke guardian, they've got a different take on at all. they are saying that police are putting 1000 officers on standby or brexit chaos' is in northern ireland. my concern here is that this may be part of contingency planning in the event of no deal but that the eu and britain have said to keep the border rope and so this seems to be based on a presumption that there must be some sort of

infrastructure or something which will inflame tensions there. if this is the case, you would have to think anybody in favour of brexit should wonder what they are dicing with. we have had 30 years of troubles followed by a fragile peace in northern ireland which should be highly prized and i think anybody who thinks this is something that can be brushed aside or dismissed lightly needs to re—examine the history. how do you see this story? is this the sort of thing theresa may, that she sort of want this, this idea that they could be brexit chaos people don't vote for her deal? she can point at this and say, look, this is what you are dicing with, dicing with the peace process. singers all sides agree there won't

bea singers all sides agree there won't be a border there, singers all sides agree there won't be a borderthere, let'sjust singers all sides agree there won't be a border there, let'sjust go with that little bit. the presence of english and scottish offices on the streets of belfast, the consequences are unforeseeable, aren't they. it could be nothing but it could set us back. the fact that the stormont has been suspended will further add to the sense that rule england is coming back into northern ireland. it could be that offers is on standby are there to go to cornwall, —— on standby are there to go to cornwall, — — cornwall. on standby are there to go to cornwall, —— cornwall. standby to go to scotland. could this be general planning. putting this out as a way to make people fearful about what's going to happen and what will happen. in the same paper, we've got a story about social media, depression and girls tied to social

media use. as a father of three girls, who have their mobile phones welded to their hands, i can understand some of this. the amount of time they do spend on screens, the fact that there now seems to be a clear link between the amount of time is spent on screens and your mental health. and our girls using social media more than boys? these are all of deep concern and indigo, asa are all of deep concern and indigo, as a parent, what do you do about it? it's really difficult? take their phones of them. is their main way communicating nowadays. it's how they talk to friends, it is part of

they talk to friends, it is part of the whole way of socialising. when you take the phones away, does that not free other types of anxiety? a bit of fomo. i'm not up with the acronyms. the stains —— the same stories on the front page of the times with a slightly different take. doctors are telling parents to cut children's screen time, issuing the first guidance advising parents to limit their children's access to technology. it's the same question, how would you do that? if you have a 16—year—old, 17—year—old son or daughter, had you tell can only have one hour of the day. i have a 2.5 or daughter. it's much easier. she says, i want to go on youtube. you think, this is very odd. in my day,

the cartoon is wrong from 3:30pm until 5:30 the cartoon is wrong from 3:30pm until5:30 p.m. the cartoon is wrong from 3:30pm until 5:30 p. m. now the cartoon is wrong from 3:30pm until5:30 p.m. now there the cartoon is wrong from 3:30pm until 5:30 pm. now there is 24—7 access. it can be difficult. perhaps don't think about the implications of that. it is a new aspect. this is the first generation of kids to face this sort of tide of social media. there are still coming to terms with what social media does to young people. we don't really know. these stories are hinting at it. but we don't really know. the pressures we went through as growing up as teenagers are exacerbated arlott, —— a lot, now there is sexting and shaming by phone. and kids are sharing —— comparing themselves.

shaming by phone. and kids are sharing -- comparing themselves. and it is also the main form of communication, so it's very difficult to police, and there are a couple of questions that are interesting, it's notjust about social media, it is about how young women are presented by all media, the fact that they are still seen as sexual objects far too often, still judged by their appearance, and then there's the question about, do you set guidance and say to parents, look, try to limit their screen time toa look, try to limit their screen time to a certain of hours, or do you offer to suggest certain times, the other idea is to get out more, do more exercise, try and have other forms to help your mental well—being. so there is no simple solution i am afraid, but we need to think about this. but when you talk about the pressures of how women are presented in a sexualised mannar, a lot of that is seen on instagram, it seems to be a culture they are forced to buy into all feel they

have to buy into —— manner. it is not necessarily the media that is doing it. i sit in conference at work every day and every picture, in the pictures, there are various female celebrities, traditionally from britain and the united states, instagram... from britain and the united states, instagram. .. 0k, from britain and the united states, instagram. .. ok, so from britain and the united states, instagram... ok, so you think it is that. is that the right image to present? anyway, let's move on to an image of a very strong american woman. a much better role model. the most powerful woman in america in fa ct, most powerful woman in america in fact, according to the independent, nancy pelosi, the democrat sworn in as the new speaker, well, for the second time actually, speaker of the house of representatives, which the democrats now control, with her grandchildren, who are looking rather happy about it all. exactly, she doesn't have much to do, just trying to stop the government deadlock at the moment, get donald trump to give evidence on a few things, get the whole government moving again, so not exactly a busy

intro for her. i suppose for donald trump, and the thing is he doesn't have an easy run because the democrats control the house and that the problem for him. yes, there is a stand—off over the funding for the wall, which is cause for the lockdown and i think more problematic is going to be if the democrats start flexing their muscles, can start looking at his tax returns, looking much more at his business interests, if we have a situation, which could happen, where he tries to close down the robert mueller enquiry looking at links between the donald trump campaign and russian interference in the presidential election, i hate to use the phrase, now they have a backstop, the house can look at that, i think the next two years will be very difficult for donald trump, but they also, the democrats, have to play a careful hand, if they are too confrontational, it could

play into donald trump's cause as well. the draining the swamp cause is another example of them trying to stop me when i am being elected by everyone and that kind of stuff. another question for you, 0wen, everyone and that kind of stuff. another question foryou, 0wen, do you think donald trump will be elected? yeah. interesting that you are asking him. i think he will be. jason? it depends who is running against him. yes, whoever the democrats trees will be crucial. donald trump against bernie sanders, i think you would fancy donald trump. if the democrats managed to find someone, whether it is, slightly younger, charismatic candidate who appeals crucially to the rustbelt states, i think he has asked —— a much better... and the tax returns are starting to wear off, you know, the rustbelt economies are not doing as well as they should do, people are starting to feel economic pain, despite the

promises from donald trump, then i think the game will change, plus what robert mueller comes up with. thank you very much. the last story of the night is about the beatles, paul mccartney saying that releasing a song using autotune, which essentially is a bit of kit that makes you sound better, does he need that? he doesn't need it, although when i heard him at the olympics a couple of years ago, he keeps the songs in the same keys he had when he was 24, slightly higher from now, eltonjohn brings his tunes down a couple of times, so he can still sing them, paul mccartney doesn't do that, singing autotune on a record played to an interview and he said if we had this in the beatles we would have been, john especially, all over it and i am sure he is appealing tojohn all over it and i am sure he is appealing to john lenin's all over it and i am sure he is appealing tojohn lenin's dig at his singing ability, not implying that he is out of tune. i think if anyone needed autotune it was probably going to be ringo out of the four of

them. oh, poor old ringo. did you ever use autotune? not enough. you we re ever use autotune? not enough. you were ina ever use autotune? not enough. you were in a band? i was in my younger days. you are the lead singer? i was, and guitarist, and i was making a racket jumping around. was, and guitarist, and i was making a racketjumping around. what were they called? the bandh was called heavy loaded dice, we were trying to be brit pop, trying to be nor gallagher and not getting there. be brit pop, trying to be nor gallagher and not getting therelj will look at your album. please do. i think we are on spotify. we never knew that, hidden talent. you didn't use autotune? not enough, as you will hear when you listen. great stuff, thank you both for being with us stuff, thank you both for being with us and happy new year to both of you. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers. and, if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, jason and owen. and the revelation he was in a

wonderful band! laughter. coming up next, it is an update on the sport. goodbye from us. good evening, i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes. here's your latest sports news: manchester city won the much—hyped premier league title race clash tonight, beating league—leaders liverpool 2—1, and cutting their advantage at the top of the table to four points. our sports editor dan roan reports from the etihad. manchester city broke all records are to becoming champions last —— manchester city broke all records on their way to becoming champions last season, but their defence of the title is proving a lot more challenging, and ahead of this — the game of the season so far — it was the visiting fans who arrived full of belief. liverpool undefeated, and with a six—point lead at the top of the table. much of that's been down

to a formidable front three, and one of them, sadio mane, was denied by the post. before confusion reigned in the home defence. city somehow surviving. the goal—line technology showing it had been by the finest of margins. city perhaps fortunate again that captain vincent kompany didn't see red for this. but what happened next owed nothing to luck — sergio aguero with a finish to match the occasion. the striker continuing his remarkable scoring record against these opponents. with managerjurgen klopp urging his side on after the restart, liverpool's response was emphatic. roberto firmino proving his team's title credentials. but city knew a point wouldn't be good enough. and almost immediately regained the lead through leroy sane. liverpool had chances to equalise, but ederson kept them at bay. by now the tension spreading to both dugouts. 2—1 it finished. liverpool's first league defeat of the season. city showing why they're champions. the title race wide—open.

we were not scary. we were in fear. no matter what happened, i know we felt we had a lot of pressure today, because we would have been almost out for the fight for the premier li. and now they are the leaders by four points. very intense game, very, very intense game. difficult for both sides. yeah, city held opposing balls in, we held opposing balls out, almost nearly end. that is how it is. yeah, not easy to take, but in the end it is normal, they scored two, we scored one. they had their chances, we had our moments, it was an outstanding chance and the two foot ball an outstanding chance and the two football teams had to fight like

crazy. so they did. former england strikerjermain defoe is set to move to scotland to join rangers on an 18—month loan deal. the 36—year—old has made just four appearances as a substitute for bournemouth in the premier league this season. rangers' manager steven gerrard will hope defoe can boost their bid for the scottish premiership title. they're currently second, level on points with rivals celtic, who have a game in hand. england's women's rugby union team have become the first international 15 to go professional. world cup winner sarah hunter and katy daley—mclean are among the players to be awarded full—time contracts for this year. england will begin their six nations campaign against ireland next month, and their captain says it's a game changerfor the sport. for those young girls picking the ball up for those young girls picking the ballup and going, for those young girls picking the ball up and going, "actually, that isa ball up and going, "actually, that is a real—life dream and ambition to bea is a real—life dream and ambition to be a professional rugby player," you've got people coming out of university that are still studying their degrees who have just seen their degrees who have just seen their first employment as a professional rugby player and that

is just professional rugby player and that isjust game professional rugby player and that is just game changing for everyone involved now and everyone involved in the future. british super—middleweight boxers james degale and chris eubankjr will fight at the o2 in london next month. it'll be a non—title contest, which the former ibf world champion degale called a retirement fight, because he says it'll be game over for the loser. he also called his opponent limited, while eubankjunior claimed degale is in for a painful lesson next month. that's all your sport for now. good night. good evening. many parts of the uk spent today plagued by a cloud, pretty grey skies overhead, at many places holding on to the cloud through the night. the cloud has been trapped under this very slow—moving area of high pressure. this is in no mood to move whatsoever, areas of cloud circulating around it and we continue to see this tonight. the cloud feeding in across northern ireland, scotland and northern

england. further south, there is a greater chance we will see the skies clearing a little bit. and where the cloud does clear, those places will see some frost and some fog. so potentially some quite dense fog patches across the midlands, east wales, central, southern england into the early hours of friday. north and west, cloud around the high pressure area, and something more mild for the north—western corner. for eastern scotland, central and eastern parts of wales, and central and southern england, here quite a widespread frost to greet us on friday morning. so, through the morning, dense fog to start off, some could be slow to clear, but then the southern areas should see some sunshine, through the midlands, into north—east england and eastern scotland, but western scotland, northern ireland, here, more in the way of cloud likely to spill in, and temperatures in single digits. most mild in scotland. through friday night, most

players would light winds and clearing skies overhead, we could see fog patches and it will turn cold. it is still high pressure that will be in charge into the start the weekend. this frontal system will try to have more of an influence. it won't really make its presence known early on saturday. starting off dry with some fog and sunshine. the cloud into the west, then the front at the end of the date looks likely to start to bring some patchy rain perhaps into northern ireland. and as we go into sunday, that front slides further south. not much more than a banner cloud stretching across england and wales, into northern ireland. —— band of cloud. for scotland, sunny skies on sunday and chilly for northern areas. into the south—west, signs of something a little milder, ten in cardiff, 11 in plymouth. as we look at the start of next week, the potentialfor a little bit of rain and it will be a bit less cold. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: i extend to you this gavel.

a new challenge to donald trump's presidential authority. democrat nancy pelosi becomes house speaker and immediately throws down the gauntlet on the government shutdown. democrats will be offering the senate republican appropriations legislation to reopen government later today. i have never had so much support as i have never had so much support as i have in the last week, over my sense for border security. —— stance. north korea's ambassador to italy disappears, amid reports that he's seeking asylum in the west.
