well above temperatures were they would normally be. this afternoon turns fresh as strong winds bring in sunny skies. a few showers from the north. i will have all the details here on breakfast. good morning. it is sunday, january 13. out of story. at the beginning of a momentous week against westminster, the prime minister has said that a failure to deliver brexit would the a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy. writing in the sunday express, the prime minister has urged mps to back her divisive brexit deal in tuesday's crucial commons vote. unsurprisingly, many of the other sunday papers are dominated by reports of plots and splits around the brexit vote, with the sunday times reporting that downing street has uncovered a plot by mps to seize control of brexit if the vote is lost. he at one pack all of this is oui’ lost. he at one pack all of this is our political correspondent suzanne and open. let's talk about theresa may, first of all. the language she

is using in the express today is quite alarmist. it is. what she wa nts to quite alarmist. it is. what she wants to do is try to sway those mps, and there will be some of them who are inking, should i go with the government or not, could it end up ina government or not, could it end up in a situation where there is no brexit? theresa may says in this article that she has written that we risk leaving the european union without a deal. she also talks about potentially not leaving at all. what she is talking about is that we could potentially end up in a situation where there is no brexit. it might sway those mps who are, as i say, on the fence. certainly the language from the prime minister is pretty desperate. she wants to try to get mps onside and so she talks about how it would be a catastrophic breach of trust in democracy if mps we re breach of trust in democracy if mps were not to vote or her deal. but, you know, she is facing a massive defeat, potentially more than 100 mps going against her, and no certainty as to what happens after that. we know that the government would have to comeback within three

days with some kind of alternative proposal, but no clarity on whether 01’ proposal, but no clarity on whether or not we will end up with another general election, another referendum, of course, some people pushing for that, or whether the government will delay article 15. there is talk about as well. the rest of the papers are talking about plots and subplots, overheard conversations in cloakrooms, and the sunday times is talking about a very british coup. what are they found? another day, another plot, that tends to be the case would brexit. they believe that there is a backbench plot to come i suppose, ta kes backbench plot to come i suppose, takes over the control of the business of government. this all stems from last week when we saw the speakerjohn virgo basically give backbench mps the opportunity to change the timetable of brexit. —— john bercow. that is why the prime minister only has three days to come back issue loses that a vote, rather than 21 days. what we are saying is that there are some mps on the backbenchers who want to change the rules so that back into

parliamentarians have first say on what the business of government would be. no clarity on whether that is true. some of the people we have spoken to have said there are no plots. certainly it is quite a febrile atmosphere at the moment, because so much hinges on that boat on tuesday, and there isn't any clarity, as i say, as to what happens afterwards. one thing is certain. it is very uncertain. thank you, susanna. a man has been released on bail after being arrested in connection with incidents in westminster earlier this week. james goddard was detained by officers yesterday morning near st james's park tube station in westminster, on suspicion of a public order offence. last week a number of mps raised concerns about safety in westminster. the gambling commission has told the bbc it plans to close a loophole that allows problem gamblers to continue betting online — even after they've signed up to a self—exclusion scheme. an investigation by radio five live found addicts were able to sign back into exiting online accounts by making minor changes to their personal details. the gambling commission acknowledge that betting firms weren't verifying the identities of customers carefully enough. a man has been arrested

let's talk about this with david bradford, a former gambler who racked up debts of £500,000. he's here with his son, adam who campaigns for more help for addicts and also fiona palmer from gamstop. thank you all for coming to talk to us. thank you all for coming to talk to us. we will talk about this particular story in a moment, but david, just give us a sense of how bad things got for you, and how it all started? almost in third person. i saw myself are the problem. in retrospect. i didn't know all along the way that i have a problem. 0ther than, say, financial pressures. but those financial pressures were my energy to carry on gambling because i needed to solve my financial pressures . i needed to solve my financial pressures. it was a cycle. it was growing in numbers. and with the

advent of online gambling, it was so much easier and much faster to gain and lose, until i reached the point where i could grow no more. and i actually ended up raking the law, which, in essence, it was a turning point, but it was horrific for me and myfamily point, but it was horrific for me and my family all around me. and to find that this person, which was me, i was almost outside of myself, looking in, saying, who is that person, that person impersonating me? those values had gone out the window. thankfully my family stayed by my side. they have had a horrendous journey and it continues. adam, just explain that impact on yourfamily? 0f adam, just explain that impact on your family? of what you and your dad went through, taking money from his employer and ending up serving time in prison? just explain the impact on the family? we only found out about the dad —— my dad's story when it came out on the front page

of the local newspaper. he had kept the court case and the addiction and all his problem secret for the 30 odd years that had an going on in the background. at 21, i had to become the head of the house. i had to pay the bills and keep the family together and deal with the grief and the shame around gambling addiction. people do not see this like an alcohol or drug addiction. but it is alcohol or drug addiction. but it is a very similar psychological thing, to the point where i almost have my life, at 22. it was really, really devastating. thank you both famous for comic talk about this, because we know it is really difficult, and it is inspiring that you can be here to help other people as well. let's talk specifically about this, i know you have been part of this investigation. it is supposed to be that people who opt out of online sites, as far as i understand, they then cannot get back in. but you found that actually there is a loophole here? yeah, and it is important to say that the scheme is not fully launched yet. it is nine months old. to me it is shambolic that you can go on to a scheme like

this which is supposed to help people who are vulnerable, but it is not doing itsjob, you know? it is like a drug, gambling. it affects your brain. if you say stop you should be able to stop, but i managed to get around it, and so have many other people. accounts get frozen, don't they? butjust by changing a small detail you can effectively reactivate it? it was a letter in my surname and a slight the capitalisation of part of my address that made it not work. fiona palmer, you are from gamstop you have heard the criticism. shambolic, you called it? what is your reaction? i must say, i am really sorry, adam, you should not have had this experience with using gamstop. it is infuriating for all of us, including me, because in your specific case, this is because of failings with the operator not having a robust verification check, and therefore allowing you to gamble. you should have been stopped at that point. consequently the

matching with our service at gamstop, the exclusion, it didn't pick you up. obviously, what you are doing, fiona, it is the right intentions behind gamstop, to try to help people. are the online gambling sites, of which there are many, are they fully behind what you are trying to do? we are currently operating as a multi— operating site. it is a voluntary for operators to integrate with us. we are working with the gambling commission because we need... they are signed up with you? they are fully on board? are they doing enough with their technology to support what you are trying to do? which is obviously an interface, somewhere. it is. the way that it works, gambling operators integrate with us. we have basically a list of participating operators on our website. we have the vast majority of operators, they are fully integrated, and they are proactively and reactively blocking individuals who are using our site and our services. we know that there are

some improvements we need to make but we cannot make the changes alone. the gambling commission has said they are putting out some helpful changes in terms of new processors which are going to require robust verification checks for operators to undertake. and with these changes, we are making some to out these changes, we are making some to our service. we truly believe that we are delivering a good service. we have over 50,000 individuals already registered and using the site. they can cheat the system. so although you believe you are delivering a good system, it is obviously not good system, it is obviously not good enough. for the vast majority, the service is effective and it is providing a protective layer against the gambling. adam, to pickup on that point? yeah, i think there is an industrywide problem here, the online gambling industry, that the regulation of air is not up—to—date. the digital age has taken over and there is not enough protection for people like my dad. fiona, you say

50,000 people are signed up. can you surely this morning that it does work for them and this problem is going to be fixed? i can assure you that for the vast majority of them it is effective. and we do receive testimony to that effect. however, yes, we do take on board the feedback we have received from the individuals who contact us, and like yourself, yes, we do give a commitment, we will get better. can ijust commitment, we will get better. can i just interrupt you commitment, we will get better. can ijust interrupt you there? we work in this technological age? we know that the algorithms are incredibly clever. and use the same credit card, didn't you? it was the same card, didn't you? it was the same card, so it is not that. so if somebody is using the same card and they previously banned themselves... asl they previously banned themselves... as i said, in adam's case, the failing was with the lack of robust verification checks at the operator. because it is there that actually, when you use a different name to the one your payment card, as a user, you should expect that you would be stopped at that level. david, select

—— david, can i speakto stopped at that level. david, select —— david, can i speak to you briefly, because we are going to run out of time. this idea that you can ban yourself, and your point of view, from somebody who has been heavily involved in this, would that help? i think if it had been around when i was at my height of gambling, i would have bypassed it. i didn't have a problem, i thought, so why would i do it? now, seeing it a little bit more clearly, if that was offered to me, the industry have only got all the people of that mindset forever short time before we are back to doing what we do best, i suppose. and off we go again. because you have got to have the credibility and what is there. to stay with it. otherwise you will just push it aside and carry on. thank you all very much for your time. and obviously this conversation will continue outside as well. just from the gambling commission, they say they are aware of the issues raised, and an investigation will announce the

outcome of id verification and proposals implemented later on this year. and also, in the gambling association as well, saying that it is fairto association as well, saying that it is fair to say online gambling operators collect and retain a huge amount of data about their customers, which when interpreted correctly can be utilised as a hugely beneficial responsible gambling tool as well. so thank you very much indeed, and will continue talking about it. you can hear more on this on 5 live investigates today at 11 o'clock on bbc radio 5 live and the bbc sounds app. match has been telling us that the weather has been mild at this time in january. temperature weather has been mild at this time injanuary. temperature should be around six or seven degrees so have around six or seven degrees so have a look at some of the temperature showing how we start the day tomorrow —— today. the thermometer is close to 12 celsius at the moment but what i will say is that the peak of the temperatures we will see a

few changes through the day. that is courtesy of a cold front working southwards through our. clearing away cloud and introducing sunshine but dropping the temperature. isobars are tightly packed and it will be a breezy day yet again, with touching gale force across northern and eastern areas. cloud to begin with, patchy drizzle will clear in the morning. sunshine and showers for scotland but always hold on to light about the cloud across southern counties. looking at the close details, still fairly cloudy. some sunshine here and there but with the breeze in the milder air temperatures at 11, 12 celsius. and a lot of sunshine in neath anglia northwards through the afternoon. isolated showers in northern ireland but more showers to northern and western scotland, frequent across the finals where we will see wind topple 50 mph at times. some parts should stay died temperatures low,

two degrees this afternoon. a big drop compared with this morning and actually air will work its way across east of the country overnight dropping temperatures relative to recent nights but returning a frost in inland areas of scotland and 0rkney and shetland into tomorrow morning. mild air will push its way backin morning. mild air will push its way back in and overall the week ahead will start on a reasonably mild note evenif will start on a reasonably mild note even if there is a chill across eastern parts. middle of the week there shall be brisk wind and rain and they will return us back to cold air later. monday. we start the week with a couple of isolated showers in the east, clouding over in the west with patchy rain and drizzle to western scotland, northern ireland. mostly we will have a dry day with a bit more sunshine away —— around to get them weekend under way. mild air will push through on monday nights are no frost on tuesday morning and for tuesday we will see some rain across the northern half of scotland, possibly the odd spot of light rain through western coast but

mostly dry, best of cloud breaks further east and notice we are back into double figures temperatures. that rain in northern scotland will have southwards through the day on wednesday and reintroduced chilly conditions for most of you. for the second half of the week, temperatures back to where they should be at this time of year if not a little bit lower. and certainly into next weekend, a big contrast with this weekend as frosty nights and mornings will also return. 0r most wanted of councils in england have introduced a ban on begging it only ten of 244 fines issued have been paid. a new system that allows people to donate to the homeless by a contactless payment is being piloted to try and deter beggars. 28—year—old max says he has been homeless for two years, and has no choice but to beg.

he is standing metres away from a sign saying he is not allowed to beg. the amount of money he makes varies from day to day. how much? £7.90. it's notjust money people donate. while filming, a passerby gave him ajumperand food. that looks warm. yeah, a big woollyjumper. around the corner i meet andy, not his real name, who says he is homeless. due to his circumstances, we have protected his identity. i got sacked injanuary because of the pressure of the job. my mental health went downhill. across england, 54 out of 302 councils told the bbc they have introduced a public spaces protection order prohibiting begging. but only 244 fines have been issued over four years, and only ten of those have been paid. some spare change, please, ma'am? home office advice is to only use the power against genuine antisocial behaviour, and not target the vulnerable. peterborough council

banned begging last year, but have not issued a single fine, as they want to give those that beg the opportunity to get off the street first. now they are trying something new. a contactless donation point. you just put your card up to the screen and it will immediately take £3, which goes into a charitable donation. right. we want to make sure the money goes to the right place so we can provide support to get them off the streets, so they don't have to beg in the first place. the money goes into this and it will fund a number of different initiatives. is it actually going to work in stopping people holding their hand out? this is about making inroads. begging will go on, but it's about to what extent. over three months, almost £1000 has been donated through the contactless point. that is helping to fund a new day centre which offers homeless people services. the main aim is to get people off the streets for good. we have more of that on insight 0ust

east and if you live elsewhere in the country you can catch up online in the next week or so. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. the writer and broadcaster, robert meakin is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we will have to rely on you to tell us we will have to rely on you to tell us of what we are talking about, we do not know yet. we are talking about tory mps threatening jobs period should, one that he has not

yet got. is one of these subplots are going on at the moment amid brexit drama, john berger's ongoing feud. to the public outside it is a bit ofan feud. to the public outside it is a bit of an edifying squabble going on, so many people concerned about their economic security and their families and what will happen, what problems brexit will cause from that. this idea of a civil war going on in the house of commons is a subplot that people outside are tired of. looking at the front page of the newspaper this morning, there is so much comment about brexit and there are plots and subplots, somebody heard somebody say something in a cloakroom... it is extraordinary. it has brought out the worst in many of our british politicians and politics. anyone who has watched a house of commons debates over last few weeks, drama

unfolds so quickly. from outside, families are concerned about how this will affect them, i wonder what on earth is going on in the westminster bubble. it is so removed from the reality of people daily lives. and there will be a lot more ofa. lives. and there will be a lot more of a. who knows, by the end of this week... there will be a lot more discussion. there will be a lot more uncertainty by the end of next week as well. on a similar theme, the wives of david cameron and michael gove have overcome their differences and a speaking again. we don't know if the husband had done similarly but here we go. this is in the expressed again, the fallout of the brexit story. david cameron who is often forgotten now, he and michael gove had a falling out when michael gove had a falling out when michael g ove we nt gove had a falling out when michael gove went to brexit site. they have never reconciled but the story is that the wives, the families are

quite close, michael's wife is godmother to one of the camera and children. because it wasn't in response that she said that she is notjust a vassal of response that she said that she is not just a vassal of her husband. response that she said that she is notjust a vassal of her husband. in some ways you may be known but you may not share their politics. semantic cameron also used to try and stay away from the limelight. she did not intervene in the debate. there is absolutely no reason why they cannot be friends but it is a drama and journalists enjoy this civil war. talking about drama. andy murray and that emotional scene as he announced his retirement. his mother has been talking about it as well. shear a part of the story. it is herfacial reaction well. shear a part of the story. it is her facial reaction that heightens the drama. arguably she is as recognisable as he is. and her force of nature is reflected in him

as well. you can see where he has come from. she has lived every point that both her sons have fought over the years and there will be a very strange day for her tomorrow if it is the last match for andy which it possibly could be. shimada really good point and said that he has achieved this in the golden age of man's tennis if you can win an 0lympic title to wimbledon and the us open when you are facing roger federer, nadal and djokovic. .. us open when you are facing roger federer, nadaland djokovic... it would be wonderful if he could have another fairytale ending. it could be great. i love the commentary about this. a lovely quote here from jamie murray saying that they have all been very emotional. everybody wants to talk about it in the

village, andy is one of the family here. anything that olivia colman appears in in tv terms seems to be touched with gold. she has a midas touch. and now this film, the favourite, it is big screen role and she is already picking up awards. this story here in the mail demonstrates, it is a fluke on the right from the start of her career. backin right from the start of her career. back in 1994 she did a showcase with a drama school and the sooner did at the teacher remembered she had 17 phone calls from agents afterward. it is no accident that she has gone on to be so successful. she was earmarked from the start. she is a one minute monologue, that was showcased. one look and theyjust sort... and they saw the dollar signs. this is the mail on sunday

but you would not bet against her having already picked up an award and you would not bet against a foreign 0scar. and you would not bet against a foreign oscar. fingers crossed. that would be nice. thank you very much. stay with us, we have the headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a failure to deliver brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy."

that's the warning from the prime minister. writing in the sunday express, she urges them to put political games aside and act in the national interest by backing her agreement. in a separate development, downing street has expressed alarm at the prospect of losing control of business in the commons, and so potentially of brexit itself, if, as expected, the prime minister is defeated in the crucial vote on tuesday. concerns have been raised over britain's post—brexit agreement with switzerland and other non—eu countries by the chair of a commons committee on trade. last month, the international trade secretary, dr liam fox, announced that the uk had approved an interim deal with the swiss, replicating the existing agreement between the eu and switzerland. but the snp mp, angus macneil, says it isn't clear whether that included free movement of people. a man has been released on bail after being arrested in connection with incidents in westminster earlier this week. the gambling commission has told the bbc it plans to close a loophole that allows problem gamblers to continue betting online even after they've signed up to a self—exclusion scheme.

an investigation by radio five live found addicts were able to sign back into exiting online accounts by making minor changes to their personal details. the gambling commission acknowledge that betting firms weren't verifying the identities of customers carefully enough. around 84,000 people took part in the latest round of yellow vest protests across france on saturday, according to the interior ministry. the figure suggests a sharp rise on last week's estimate of 50,000 demonstrators. in paris police clashed with rioters near the arc de triomphe as hundreds were arrested. it is the ninth consecutive weekend of protests initially triggered by the rising price of fuel. the white house says a report that president trump concealed details us secretary of state mike pompeo says he is mystic that the us and turkey can agree a way to protect the us' kurdish allies are frittelli syria. mr pompeo speaking in the

united arab emirates during a middle eastern tour aimed at reassuring allies after mr trump abruptly announced his decision to withdraw us troops. five people have died in heavy snowstorms in the midwest of the united states. in the state of missouri, which was one of the hardest hit, around a foot and a half of snow fell and more than 800 road accidents were reported. 0lly‘s here with the sport. as always on sunday. it was a busy foot ball as always on sunday. it was a busy football weekend, winning ugly, they call it. well, if liverpool are going to win the league... they have to win matches like that. 1-0, grinding it out. yes, in that manner. not very like liverpool, but jurgen klopp is a happy man. he said they were very mature, perhaps the most mature performance he has seen them do. and he said they were not them do. and he said they were not the harlem globetrotters. yes, he said that it have to be every match. 1-0 it said that it have to be every match. 1—0 it was, and they are seven points clear at the top of the premier league. it wasn't pretty at brighton, as mo salah scored the only goal.

manchester city will have to wait until tomorrow night against wolves to try and close the gap. arsenal have lost ground on the top four after they lost, and chelsea won, and there have also been changes in the relegation zone. adam wild reports. in the march towards the title, it's often as important not to stumble as it is to always sparkle. understanding that takes maturity. something liverpool, it seems, found at brighton. mo salah down in the box, his penalty the only goal of the game. little sparkle, but most crucially, perhaps, no stumble. i would say that was the most mature performance we have played so far. it was just brilliant. because we were not brilliant today, they are a much better side. we can improve, that is good, but we were the deserved winner. and that in an away game in the premier league is all you want. so, praise for liverpool's maturity, but it was the west ham youth that was getting everybody excited. declan rice is still a teenager. this, his first goal for his new club.

it turned out to be the winner against arsenal. commentator: that means a lot! that means so much to the 19—year—old. defeat for arsenal was good news for chelsea, tightening their hold on fourth place. williams with a brilliant decisive goal in a 2—1 defeat of newcastle. they are now in the relegation places. burnley, though, have moved clear, having gone behind against fellow strugglers fulham, with two own goals in three bizarre minutes, turning things around. it's another own goal! lightning striking twice in the lancashire gloom. fortunes can change quickly when your luck is out. huddersfield are eight points off safety at the bottom after a goaless draw against cardiff in 17th. watford came from a goal down to beat crystal palace and southampton also won 2—1 at leicester, despite playing the entire

second half with 10 men. there are two matches in the premier league today, everton face bournemouth today before tottenham play manchester united at wembley. it promises to be the biggest test so far for 0le gunnar solskjaer, united's caretaker manager, against notjust a form spurs side but also the manager who is one of those in the frame to take over at old trafford in the summer, not that mauricio pochettino is getting distracted by all the speculation. we know that we need the three points to be in that race for the premier league and the race for the top floor, to finish at the end of the season. all of that happening around all the rumours, all the things that, you know, that is going to happen because that is football. you need, you do yourjob, i need to do myjob, and we accept the business, of course. but my focus is to try to find a way to win the game. we are into the penultimate

round of group matches in rugby union's european champions cup and edinburgh are so close to a quarterfinal place, after a historic victory away at toulon, the first scottish side to win at the stade mayol in the competition. they beat the three—time champions 28—17 and go into the final round as pool leaders. it's seven years since they last reached the last eight. ulster held off a fightback from racing 92 to close in on the quarters. they couldn't quite manage a bonus point, but three tries against racing was enough for them to take the win in belfast. jacob stockdale got two of them. he has now scored in all five of their european matches this season. 26—22 the final score. there were also wins for bath and scarlets, although neither can make it

out of their groups. this time tomorrow the australian 0pen will be underway, and andy murray will be warming up for what could be his final match before retiring. since that emotional admission that he's playing in constant pain following hip surgery so many fellow players have paid tribute to his career. today we heard from the greatest on the men's tour. it hits us top guys hard, you know, because we know andy very well. we like him. he doesn't have many enemies, to be quite honest. he is a good guy and a hall of famer legend, everything you want, everything he wanted to win, everybody would substitute their career with his. and he is a great guy. so, yeah, it is a tough one, but one down the road, he can look back on that and be incredibly proud of everything he has achieved. european 1500m champion laura muir has begun her busy year by anchoring great britain to victory in the great stirling cross country mixed relay.

the british team had built a handy lead for muir, and she went on to take the win. its all part of a season in which muir hopes to win world championship gold. the team set it up great for me, ijust had to be strong and finish there was a dramatic second race of the formula e season in morocco as the belgian jerome d'ambrosio took the win. he was helped by a collision involving teammates antonio felix de costa and britain's alexander sims, they had a bump with 10 minutes remaining. that handed the lead to d'ambrosio, who's now top of the standings. japan's mikuru suzuki is the new women's world darts champion. she beat england's lorraine winstanley by three sets to nil at lakeside to take the title and £12,000 in winnings. she was unseeded and becomes the first asian player to win a world title in either the men's or women's game. and finally, let's just return to football. how about this from

the irish premiership. this is goalkeeper elliot morris scoring his first goal in 723 appearances for glentoran. a 70 yard free kick that institute keeper martin gallagher couldn't stop as they won 2—0. he was wearing a baseball cap, which means the sun was in his eyes. i don't think he saw that all at all. without the celebrations. he was loving that. and that was their first win in11 loving that. and that was their first win in 11 matches, as well. really? so the manager knows what to do. get the keeper upfront. absolutely. oddly, thanks. nine months ago england's netball team made history by beating australia to win gold at the commonwealth games. this summer they are looking to win the netball world cup in liverpool. the roses are stepping up their preparations with the quad series, which gets underway today with a match against new zealand.

let's talk to england's captain ama agbeze. it is lovely to see you, and you not playing today, you ? it is lovely to see you, and you not playing today, you? no,! because you are currently injured. yeah. tell us about looking forward to this game, how optimistic are you? quite an interesting time, the world cup is injuly but the domestic interesting time, the world cup is in july but the domestic season interesting time, the world cup is injuly but the domestic season in the uk has already started and quite a few girls play out in australia, so they are leaving of this series. they basically leave australia mid—season and comeback play the world cup. they only have about one week to get used to the team. then they go back to australia to finish playing. this is a really important time because it is the last time teams will play internationally. we have not been select for the world cup, it is the last time the girls will be seen by the selectors and by tracey, the coach. sue everybody who puts their hand at two get selected, teams are trying to get personal and selections to see who they will

select. this is part of a quad series. you are playing liverpool today, which is where the couple be held injuly, today, which is where the couple be held in july, but today, which is where the couple be held injuly, but where are you afterwards ? held injuly, but where are you afterwards? london, so the rest of the games of air. saddam is a chance to see you in more than one place. yes. —— so there is a chance. to see you in more than one place. yes. -- so there is a chance. we wa nt to yes. -- so there is a chance. we want to see pictures of the common wealth games, if we can. still seeing that now, talk about your emotions on the day. seeing that now, talk about your emotions on the daylj seeing that now, talk about your emotions on the day. i remember, my first teammate, she missed, then helen missed as well, and i think she was, we got another bite of the cherry because of the contact, but i was living at the time and stressing out. thankfully, we didn't go to extra time because we won the game play with that one goal. that has had a massive impact, hasn't it?|j think it has propelled that bob into the spotlight. because it came down to that last second? yes, if we won by 30 goals, think the moment would still be the same. but we wonder

semi—final by one goal. and we did the same in the final. i think it has propelled netball into the general public's eyes. is is strong in schools? it is gained a traditionally, everybody knows, the boys play football and the girls play netball in primaries or. is it still stronger with girls or is it growing with boys? lots of girls play netball, as you say, in school, andl play netball, as you say, in school, and i think it is growing, but lots of other sports takeover. lots of other girls play football and rugby and there are lots of sports the girls now. it is a good thing, i think. at after—school it sort of dies down and people don't really think about how you will play. you have to go and find a club, don't you? definitely. and even at school the best that was that clubs. so there is still a wafer is ago. in australia, at comparatively, at schools it is crazy. i go and coach eight—year—old in australia and ben will the technical terms and everything. we have a way to go, but it is growing. you are talking about 70 members of the team living in

australia. it has a different profile down there? yes, definitely. australia and new zealand, the game is more professional. all their players in the top league are paid. it isa players in the top league are paid. it is a more professional environment, the daily training environment, the daily training environment is much better than it is here. it is difficult, because thatis is here. it is difficult, because that is the best league in the world, someone an elite level, we are trying to compete with that, but it is not the same environment. you think it will change? you are doing such a good job as a team. sports personality of the year, you want to of those. do you think that will help fundamentally change things here in the uk? definitely, i think the more netball is in the spotlight the more netball is in the spotlight the more netball is in the spotlight the more people will realise it is a great game and it is good to back itself. we need more commercial backing. that is what they have in australia. hopefully we'll get the same and the game grow. and having one be commonwealth games, obviously australia were they are. —— won the. when you look ahead to the world cup injuly, is that a significant step up, or have you actually already played the best in the world? because that was mostly a

commonwealth sport, the best teams are at the commonwealth games. so the world cup is really attainable? yes, it is the same top teams. so it is definitely attainable. but we only one by one goal, so the top teams are really close. they really are. talk about the impact on other people, i know people who have taken a netball, and you don't have to be as tall as you are. you can even be my age and do netball, can't you? definitely, there is netball for everybody. there is walking netball... brilliant! i feel a everybody. there is walking netball... brilliant! ifeela cat is my game, these days. there is netball forever by. you can be competitive, you can be a mother, you can be a child, mothers and daughters play together and fathers: and watch. there is netball for everybody. while it encourage everybody, whether you have laid before or never played, it is good to go to your local team and try out. i used to play a long time ago you have moved on to slightly more extreme sports now. i wasjust going to say, tell us the time of the game

today? there is commentary on 5 live, which you are doing? yes, it starts at 6pm but there is a game prior to that, there are four teams who play. the england games at six p.m. lovely to meet you. thank you. let's catch up with the weather forecast. more slothful to come in europe over the next 36 hours, high—level warnings in place in austria and switzerland. buries warm air pushing towards alpine regions after dropping a huge amount of snow again but for us it means that will turn fresh. today is a cold after a mild star, some teachers will above where they should be. strongly and

will temper somewhat but clearing away at cloud to start with. their clout and patchy rain and drizzle will head southwards, thanks adi across southern counties even into the afternoon. breezy but mildly. not lastly different to what we have this morning. cloud becomes more well broken across wales and the midlands, northern england, there will be a couple of showers here and there, windy to the east of the pennines and windy to the north and east of scotland with wind reaching 50 mph. literature at the moment is 11, 12 degrees this afternoon. and that cool air will push across eastern areas tonight. in the west not quite as chilly. the atlantic, after easing back a little bit of tries to push and more mild air to start tomorrow but a chilly start to dig frost in scotland to begin with and once we have that frost first thing, things will be milder afterwards into monday night before, afterwards into monday night before,

after a spell of mid—wicket rain and brisk wind, things will turn colder again. on monday, a frosty start across scotland and chilly throughout the day. isolated showers close to the coast. some spots of rain. most will be dry, but the sunshine is in the east and the temperature down on today's values, certainly, and feeling chilly across the east. tuesday will be frost free, that mild atalanta guerre returns. further south, free, that mild atalanta guerre returns. furthersouth, most places will be dry apart from a bit patchy rain. large amounts of cloud in the west. temperatures returning to double figures. that that rain in northern scotland head southwards through the middle parts of the week and we will see temperatures drop and we will see temperatures drop and we will see temperatures drop and we will see temperatures returned to where they should be for this time of year. if not, just a little bit lower. we shall get out the clothes again, get our thermals and our hat.

now on breakfast it's time for click. 2019 starts with the consumer electronics show in las vegas. this is where you come to see all the big new tech. the crazy new ideas and the occasional polar bear. anything to get attention, basically, which is vegas all over. but what does it all mean? what will the coming year look like? what is the important tech that you need to look out for? the big screen technology here is 0led, and lg display is the only company making large 0led screens. the tech has several advantages. it can be curved, it can do really black blacks, or it can be transparent.

it can also be very thin, and of course it can be 8k, which is all the rage here, four times the resolution of 4k. the simple structure of 0led also means you can attach these things called exciters to the back of the display. those are really really thin things that turn the whole display into a speaker. there are about five exciters on the back of this screen, and i have to say, it really does sound like the audio is coming from the right part of the picture. and that is basically because it is. and finally this year, we have seen actual practical uses of possibly 0led‘s coolest feature — it can be bendy. if you have been meaning for a while to getting around to having an eye test but have not had time,

the solution could be this. this device attaches to a smartphone and you can test your own eyes. what you do is, you look through one eye at a time, there is a green line and a red line, and you need to get them to move closer together. just tap this button on top to do it, and... there we go. i hope i'm not going to learn anything surprising. repeat the process on each eye and from there if needed, you will be told your prescription, so you can order glasses online. but you will probably also want to know what the numbers it comes up with actually mean. this one means you have slight nearsightedness. 0k. not too bad, but you might want to go to the eye doctor and just check out your eyes. ok, so the job hasn't totally been done with this. no. at least it is a start, and each time i tested the device it did come up with a consistent results. a new year, a new me.

around this suit are various sensors that are analysing my motion, and the idea is they will tell me if i am using the correct posture or not when using various exercises. so if i am not doing my lunges correctly, they will give me a ruddy good telling off. phone: ankle too shallow. accelerometers, gyroscopes and e—compasses inside the racefit suit measure what i am doing, and how i am doing it. which allows its accompanying app to suitably berate me. phone: hip position too high. arm angle too deep. argh! you have to wirelessly charge it up, but it is machine washable, thank goodness. well, there is something we can't unsee. self driving cars. and we are nowhere near having fully autonomous cars on the road yet, but here is a demo where i can use

an app to make a fairly autonomous car reverse out of its parking space and drive to a preprogrammed pickup spot. you have to have driven the route first, so it can learn it, but it can deviate from the route enough to avoid hitting things or people. there is loads of self driving car tech here at ces, but there are other exciting things going on in—car too, and dave lee is one of them. here he is. so audi thinks it has come up with an idea to keep us more entertained while we are travelling in the back of a car. i'll check it out. how are we doing? alright, enjoy the ride! this vr system was made in collaboration with disney, and it monitors data from the car's actual movements. so when i pull away, i really feel it, because the car is moving. what we have created basically is a completely new category of content, because it is the first time that it is something that works best in the car.

i'm shooting in the game, i'm looking around, obviously the movement is determined by where the car is moving. so i don't feel in control of where i am going, but it does make it feel very physical. but i don't know, something about the combination of virtual reality and whizzing around a racetrack didn't feel too good. 0h... truth be known, i'm not a skilled boxer — more into unboxing, if you know what i mean — but although the botboxer here is successfully dodging most of myjabs, it is letting me land the occasional hit. its infrared sensor keeps track of me and its reaction times can be set to match the skill of the opponent, along with how tired it gets over time, and how many mistakes it makes, to give one a fighting chance.

now at the moment for some reason they have got this set to amateur mode, but... you can turn the sensitivity all the way up — at which point they say no human can actually punch fast enough. so let's do that now. ok, now it is impossible to hit, even in slow motion. all right, let's get a professional in here. shut up! this is alex thiel, middleweight champion and marginally better than me. he is playing the botboxer in knockout mode and is doing all right. johnny tocco's gym has been here in las vegas for 70 years, and the most famous boxers

in the world have sparred here. george foreman, muhammad ali, mike tyson — and maybe alex will be among those names, one day. we've asked him to try out something that is on show at ces for the first time, something that helps to detect a massive problem in boxing and in sport generally. concussion. eye—sync uses a modified vr headset to track how accurately alex's eyes can follow moving points. same deal, follow the target positions. the system can then tell whether there might be an underlying brain injury to be concerned about. here, the results show that alex's left brain responds better than his right. nothing to worry about at the moment, but something which can be worked on. it's in use already by the golden state warriors basketball team here in the us, and eye—sync‘s creators say the system could also help look for early signs of dementia. meanwhile, nick has met a different alex, who has created something

to prevent injuries in the first place. not in boxing, but in cycling. today we know the main areas that are impacted during an accident are the head, the thorax and the neck. so this is why we decided to develop the b'safe airbag vest, which protects those areas. ok, let's put it to the test. 0uch! let's see that an instant replay. embedded sensors follow the rider's motion so when the speed or angle doesn't add up, it inflates in one tenth of a second,

cushioning the impact. now, does this act as a flotation device? health tech is always big at the show, but this year there are a few companies offering medication—free pain relief. hypnovr is one, with what they describe as medical hypnosis, although the pain i was subjected to testing it was pretty minor. that didn't really hurt, but i'm not sure how much it would have hurt if i didn't have these on. there's no doubt that was relaxing. the idea is that some procedures could possibly be done with local anaesthetic instead of general anaesthetic if people were feeling calm enough. it's hard for me to judge, because obviously all i had to do was lie here. nothing was being done to me, apart from somebody pinching my hand — thanks for that. but hey, i feel relaxed. how clean is your drinking water?

here we have six cups of america's finest filter water, and if i get the testdrop pro, i can move it slowly towards this plastic cup and it gives me a blue light, which tells me it's 0k to drink. the accompanying app gives me a chance of contamination of 40%. if i do this to each of the other cups, we can see that that one is clean as well. what it's actually doing is measuring the differences in the electric field for water that is contaminated and is not contaminated. now, what we haven't told it is that this last cup of filtered water has been spat in by the boss. and look — red light. yeah, so, there's a chance of contamination, 90%. it feels a bit like witchcraft, doesn't it? but it does seem to work. and we have to stop the short version right here, with these big

clappers who are from japan. in the full—length version of the programme, we have set ourselves the challenge of summarising ces 2019 by bringing you 20 bits of tech in 19 minutes — to see how we get on, check out iplayer right now. from the short version, see you soon. good morning.
