good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. our headlines today... "back me or risk a catastrophic betrayal of democracy" warns theresa may amid reports mps plan to seize control of brexit if she loses tuesday's crucial vote. tough questions for britain's big gambling firms as the bbc reveals major flaws in the scheme meant to stop addicts betting. adapt or die — we look at the effects of decades of poaching on the evolution of african elephants. and catch us if you can, liverpool are back in the winning groove. mo salah's goal was the difference against brighton and seven points is the difference once again at the top of the premier league. and we'll hear why classical music is now top of the pops. and in weather, we start today with

beverages well above where they should be during the middle part of the afternoon but this afternoon turns a bit fresh air with sunny skies coming and showers in the north. all the details here in brea kfast. it's sunday the 13th january, our top story... at the start of a momentous week at westminster, the prime minister has said a failure to deliver brexit would be "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. well, here to unpack all of this is our political correspondent, susana mendonca. let's start with theresa may's warning to mps to back her deal or risk brexit altogether — will it be enough to increase support for her deal?

you get the sense that the prime minister is really making this last desperate attempt to try and get as many mps on the side as she can and she is facing this massive defeat but she will be thinking, can be sway any more than? there will be some in the back who will lead the prospect of the being no brexit at all as one would want to avoid and you hear the prime minister in this article that he threatens raking about the rejecting the deal next week could mean brexit does not matter at all. there could be a catastrophic breach of democracy, according to her. the prime minister is effectively trying to get mps ran to her way of

thinking that nash back into their way of thinking if they do not back the deal. because everything is so fractured, there was a story in the sunday times, other newspapers are referring to a plot, scheming, whatever word you would use to change in the way parliament runs and losing control of the agenda. tell me what that says it happen. the government is very worried about this possibly happening and we had these data of the house were being at that the backbenchers giving a timetable. that means of the prime minister loses, she has to come back within three days rather than 21 days which is frighteningly government so something they are thinking that is perhaps this could bea thinking that is perhaps this could be a new precedent on how this could

happen going forward. we speak about new plots going for as well, different groups having different agendas as to what they want to see outcome being. the key challenge for the prime minister is exactly that on tuesday and, beyond that, we do not know what will happen. we'll be another referendum ? not know what will happen. we'll be another referendum? and other general as election? it is all out there. we do not know what could happen yet the only thing certain is nothing is certain. thank you. 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 trade 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. 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. bbc radio 5 live investigates found that gamblers were able to create new online accounts by making very minor changes to their personal details. adrian goldberg joins us now. just tell us how it was meant to work and what has happened. the industry faced a lot of criticism that it was not taking the problem of problem gamblers seriously enough to last april, there was a programme created called gamstop fast—food stop you from betting if you signed up stop you from betting if you signed up to this system and all the major gambling companies online. you getting with them however as bradford, in a state to him earlier and his dad, he got a really serious gambling problem and he found he was able to register, self exclude but

create a new account changing in the minor details in your line of his address, register with another online gambling company and successfully place a bet so self exclusion for him simply did not work. i know he's like him earlier. there are some of his reaction now. it's important to say the scheme has not fully launched yet, it is nine months old but it is shambolic to mean that you can get onto a scheme like this that is supposed to help people who are vulnerable but it is not doing itsjob. it is like a drug, it affects your brain, if you can, you should be able to stop but i got around it. gamstop say a lot of people have signed up to the scheme and there are people who want to self exclude the gathering commission is concerned by what he found and will demand of the gambling companies that they

introduced enhanced id verification isa introduced enhanced id verification is a cannot get around this self exclusion by setting up a new account albeit a very slightly altered details. excellent work. you can hear more on 5 live investigates at 11 o'clock on bbc radio 5 live and on the bbc sounds app. more than 20 people have been killed and two are missing, following the collapse of a roof at a coal mine in northern china. 87 people were working underground in the shaanxi province mine at the time of the accident on saturday. the search for the two trapped miners continues, while 66 others have been airlifted to safety. an investigation is underway to establish the cause of the accident. the white house says a report that president trump concealed details of his conversations with vladimir putin is so outrageously inaccurate it doesn't even warrant a response. the washington post says that, after a meeting in hamburg in 2017, mr trump took possession of his interpreter‘s notes. it says no transcript exists from another meeting in helsinki last year. the nominations for this year's brit awards

have been announced. out in front with four is anne marie, who first made her name by singing on clean bandit‘s number one single, rockabye. the 27—year—old from essex is nominated for best female, best album, best single and best video — and there's a strong showing for women across the board. here's our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson. # and it went like this... 2019 is turning into quite a yearfor the singer behind 2002. anne—marie leads the way with four nominations at the brit awards. the 27—year—old from essex is up for best single, best video, best female, as well as the big one, album of the year, for her debut, speak your mind. it's an especially strong year across the board for females. dua lipa has double nominations for both best

single and video, but is not eligible to defend the best female title she won last year, as her album was released too long ago. and two years agojorja smith was a barista. now she has three brit award nominations. # i'll be riding shotgun, underneath the hot sun... as for the men, george ezra is recognised in three categories and will be unlucky not to win a couple, as his album was the best selling by a british act last year. and at the age of 66, there is a first ever brit nominations for nile rodgers. his band, chic, are up for best international group. we'll find out if he disco dances away with the award on february 20th. how do you know the photographs you post on social

media aren't being stolen? it's easy to copy images and set up a fake accounts — it's a phenomenon known as catfishing. despite not being a criminal offence, police forces are hearing more and more complaints. 0ne victim told the bbc about her experience. you feel dirty, in a sense. i didn't do anything to them, but ijust felt like my privacy had been, you know, taken away from me. well, when i went on, to look and investigate for myself, i found that they had only followed all my male friends, and basically, they werejust being flirty, "do you want to get to know me better," etc. and what made it worse was the fact that my instagram is private. so it has to be someone i know. that's just one story. let's talk about this with the social media analyst, who joins us from our bristol newsroom. explain to us again what catfishing

involves. catfishing is a situation that arises when someone uses a false identity to learn another person into a relationship —— to lure another person into a relationship. because we live on social media, many of these platforms do not have verification processes in place to prove the identity of users so it is quite easy for someone identity of users so it is quite easy for someone to set up a fake account and pretend to be a person they are not. there are two victims in this, the person whose identity has been used to... happy got any comeback on it? at the moment, it is an area that is in progress, a work in progress as such. if you have your image is stolen or you feel like your identity is being used in a malicious way, you should report it to a malicious way, you should report ittoa a malicious way, you should report it to a social media platform that is where you may have seen it. if the situation is serious and there

are children involved are there was any criminal activity, i would suggest you do speak to the police about it. how can you stop it happening? is anything you can do to make sure people do not do this with your identity? it is important to be proactive and monitor and manage your digital footprint say they do need to keep your eye on the content being posted online about you and you do need to take steps to make sure you are vigilant from that side of things. the something called a reverse image search you can do on search engines so if you feel as though your photo is being used on other websites or you want to check out the authentication of a profile picture of someone has approached you and you are not sure of the identity being correct, you can take the image and search for it on search energies to make sure it has not been picked up on our website as well. my connector are other victims, the people being tricked into a relationship ——

victims, the people being tricked into a relationship -- there are other victims. what behaviour traits do they have? gemini people participating in catfishing, the relationship can spiral very quickly. if you meet someone online and they are declaring undying love for you within one or two days, that you bring some alarm bells. they try to excel relationship but over exaggerate achievements, people who against any catfishing activityjuly to live in a fantasy world so that sounds too good to be true, it often is to good to be true. —— they often try to live in a fantasy world. so you should find out what alarm bells are ringing? yes, for example, if they ask a financial details, that isa they ask a financial details, that is a risk to your security and you should get alarm bells ringing straightaway. if you had a physical relationship, trust your gut instinct the same way and be very

aware that everything online is not how it seems. thank you robot. —— thank you. you can see more on this on inside out in the west midlands tomorrow at 7:30pm. and you can catch it on the iplayer as well. here's matt taylor with a look at this morning's weather. those are recent temperatures, heading down, isn't it? it will get a bit colder this week. this is how we start this morning, temperatures at around six celsius for the afternoon. —— until the afternoon. turning pressure from any. the warm air that we have got squeezed down into parts of europe adding to the snowfall for a while across alpine regions but it means they will get more north—westerly winds later on and a drop in temperature. clearing away with some cloud and patchy rain

working its way southwards. wright conditions —— brighter conditions. wet and windy role you are today. wind still on the mild side towards the south of the country, even though it stays cloudy throughout the negative patchy drizzle mixed in with the cloud across southernmost counties. dietz, sunny spells breaking out, more than yesterday. gusty winds to the east and on high ground. north—west england, northern parts of wales, frequent showers in scotland. in 0rkney and shetland, just to celsius. the rest of scotla nd just to celsius. the rest of scotland start on 10— alan celsius then get to sex — seven celsius. 0ne of two shallots, mostly dry. in a land areas seeing a frost. everyone else is just a frost free apart from 0rkney and shetland. whilst that will be able to the cheerleader in monday, it averages back up by the

end of the day and a milder, windier and wetter stealthy middle part of the week before we start to see things simple yet again. monday, julia impairs the weekend, good, sunny spells with that majority. founding over, most generally some light drizzle across the western isles and western parts of the island. beverages close to la should be at this time of year and they will not last too long because it will not last too long because it will be mild again for monday and on tuesday backed into a war raging with wind the west, breaks of rain in scotland and elsewhere largely dry with what a cloud around on tuesday and the brakes to the east of high ground with the rain in northern scotland heading southwards as we go through wednesday and in doing so, we bring back brighter but colder conditions. temperature levels back to la should be for the time of year towards the end of the

week and the return of night—time frost, too. thank you. almost 90% of the elephants in mozambique's gorongosa national park were slaughtered for their ivory, to finance weapons in the 16—year civil war that began in the late 70s. now, scientists are investigating whether the historic effects of mass poaching could influence the evolution of native elephants, as more and more fail to develop tusks. conservationist adam kenyonjoins us now. tell us about what seems to be going on with these elements. -- these elephants. what research is finding in areas like mozambique, with the civil war, the elephants with large tasks were largely poached throughout the civil war to finance it for weapons and things like that. —— with large tusks. what you are left with is the survivors, the ones about tusks because there was no need to approach them if there are

no tusks. —— no need to poke them. the ones about tusks are becoming more prevalent. they are not developing tusks. it is not the species that is changing, it's just that part of the species that is not being carried down the line? yes, evelyn ta kes being carried down the line? yes, evelyn takes in decades, sometimes centuries to take effect in the long—term service is an adaptation to past decades of heavy poaching or even the civil war itself. what do elephants need their tusks for? they would not have innovative money then. they evolved first place to carry ivory, carry tusks. they have a high fibre diet soda use the tusks to strip the bark of trees and td, digging soul out of caves has been

observed, digging in pools for clay, minerals, vitamins from those. they also use them, the large males if there was a female that is ready to be naked, large males will sometimes come to blows with each other. —— if they are ready to be mated. is this dangerous for the species? you said they use it to get their food, could it have a negative affect? the entity this question goes on and said and will do for some time. —— the ansa to that question. we do not know the implications quite yet. it's certainly good. will it help them out from a poaching point of view? we do not know. yeah i was going to have to do that, if it protected from poachers then? it's true. they are hunted for ivory but

are other reasons as well. there are still being hunted, ahram they? are other reasons as well. there are still being hunted, ahram they7m has dropped off in some countries which is great but they are largely still persecuted for their ivory. we're speaking specifically about elephants in mozambique which has a very definite reason that the civil war as wejust very definite reason that the civil war as we just discussed. presumably thatis war as we just discussed. presumably that is not... there was not much into reading between the mozambique population of elephants and other areas, so it is specific to that country. yes, not just areas, so it is specific to that country. yes, notjust specific to that country with regard to mozambique, it has been documented in tanzania and south africa where they have had some heavy poaching crisis is in the past decades, so much so in south africa to a certain .98% of some females that remain are tuskless because of our heavenly

poached they were. yes, and the ones without tuskls are said to be more aggressive as well. beret extremely intelligent species, the intelligence of an elephant is similartoa 5—6 intelligence of an elephant is similar to a 5—6 year old child and they have individual personalities as well so the older elephants, 25 yea rs as well so the older elephants, 25 years upwards, that lived through poaching crisis or civil war, they have seen the negative effect of humans, it is not surprising they have that reaction towards them. such a beautiful, graceful animal. you work with animals in your blackpool zoo as well. thank you very much. lovely to see you. the andrew marr show is on bbc one at 10 o'clock this morning, what's coming up, andrew? you may have seen from the press today that the governor is on the edge of losing control of the house of commons completely. 0ne paper said we are on the lip of a general election and the other that the

conservative party is about to split. average, dull reach end in british politics. i'm joined with the brexit secretary stephen barclay, the leader of the liberal democrats vince cable and the leader of the labour partyjeremy corbyn. we look forward to seeing you then. it will be a busy week in the world of politics. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's 8:22. 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'll speak to robert in a minute. we're going to get straight on with it. we have looked at the front page is already a futile today, it is very brexit. you will almost... spare us? kind of. boris... yes. we have not heard his name for a while. according to this story in the

times, he is eyeing number three, maybe wife number three, that is what is keeping him out of the brexit debate. his private life has been colourful to say the least. the celebration the back —— and the separation from his recent life was well monitored. people say this is a rocky relationship, some people say she could be the third mrsjohnson. this is his girlfriend carrie symonds. 0ld—fashioned cynics would say politicians often get married when they've got an eye on trying to be prime minister. that could be a very cynical thing for me to say but it has been known before. some people might say it but you are not. 0ld—fashioned. the mail as a well, you have two authorities of the brexit story, this one is about... soup or large. you cannot imagine being theresa may at the moment but

it isa being theresa may at the moment but it is a reception at downing street. suddenly you see soup or large in the distance, you think this might be light relief but she shouts at hi—de—high at theresa may and tells her she has to resort to brexit 12 of you have do imagine that this is the last thing people wanted to but we did think it would be light relief. she also planted a kiss on mra's relief. she also planted a kiss on mr a's cheek as well. —— mr may's cheek. we have won about mary queen of scots heroes well. the new film is coming out. mary queen of scots has been portrayed by the likes of katharine hepburn. this time it is saoirse ronan who is playing her. it

stimulates debate about what mary queen of scots would really like. through history, she has been reviled, she has been supported as well. one historian said it does a lot of favours and she could be gaining 215t—century iconic status asa gaining 215t—century iconic status as a result. mixed reviews in the newspapers. it does shape our perception or to bobbing around really fit as laurence olivier. the actors and actresses do form of you. —— people do think of henry v as laurence olivier. you cannot let the truth get in the way of a good story, you have to rush some of it because the true story could be quite ghastly. this is interesting. the whole james bond thing has rumbled on for years and years. daniel craig, willie carreon? egypt. will it be idris elba? will be tom

middleton? and now richard madden has become hugely famous anyway but... well, as a result of bodyguard. he has bought a place in close angeles —— in los angeles. is this a zero that he is going to be next james bond ? who this a zero that he is going to be nextjames bond? who knows? tier he isa nextjames bond? who knows? tier he is a frontrunner. it is a poisoned chalice because tom middleton was touted recently, idris elba, clive 0wen as well. he was for a long time. it is like the tory leadership. if you're a front runner for too long or too soon, it can be a curse. with daniel craig tipped for it before? is with a long time ago that people said a blonde haired, miserable looking james bond, google go for that? willett? it certainly did. richard madden is scottish. he might have what it

ta kes. scottish. he might have what it takes. i'm most interested in when bodyguard is coming back. economics means it'll be quite soon it did quite well. there was a kitchen to be proud of. can you see that? i don't know. thank you much indeed. good to see you. talking about the papers, they are mostly full, as he mentioned, what will be a really busy week ahead any week of politics. that crucial vote. we will be seeking a lot over the next 48 hours. we will keep you right up to date here on breakfast. and with everything else as well. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main 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. 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. bbc radio 5 live investigates found that gamblers were able to create new online accounts by making very 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 following the death of an 11—year—old boy in a hit—and—run collision in greater manchester last night. a car was found abandoned a short distance from the scene in beswick. the 31—year—old suspect remains in police custody. 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. more than 20 people have been killed and two are missing, following the collapse of a roof at a coal mine in northern china. 87 people were working underground in the shaanxi province mine at the time of the accident on saturday. the search for the two trapped miners continues, while 66 others have been airlifted to safety. an investigation is underway to establish the cause of the accident. the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, says he is optimistic that washington and turkey can agree on a way to protect america's kurdish allies in syria after its troops leave the country. mr pompeo was speaking in the united arab emirates during a middle east tour aimed at reassuring allies,

after president 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. those are the main stories this morning. we're here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning. coming up... whether it's bach, mendelssohn or schubert, more of us got hooked on classical music last year. we'll ask why the genre is enjoying such a renaissance. with the number of homeless people rising, many councils have tried to ban begging. but it hasn't worked. we'll look at a new scheme that hopes to make a difference. and we'll meet the woman planning to go for a walk — a 20,000 mile one that will last four years as she aims to walk around the entire coast of britain and ireland. find out why in the next half hour.

all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now. if you have just done the quick switch, hello. this is always my favourite bit of sunday. sunday is a new thing for you. it is not a new thing. i used to do sundays a lot. everybody who doesn't want to watch match of the day has stayed with us. you don't need to watch the whole of match of the day. this wasn't the match of the day yesterday. winning ugly, liverpool.

they lost to manchester city at the turn of the year. they are still top. they then lost to wolves. it would have been unthinkable for them to do it at brighton, which perhaps explains this very businesslike performance. it wasn't the match of the day. liverpool are seven points clear again at the 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 hauled 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. willian 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 saftey 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, 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 four, 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. seven other british players in that first round in australia. european 1,500m 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. it's all part of a season in which muir hopes to win world championship gold. those championships are in qatar. the team set it up great for me, ijust had to be strong and finish on those last legs. very happy to continue their winning streak. the teams in general did great as well. a few people showing out from my high school and everywhere. it was fantastic. i love racing on home soil. a great option to be here today. british golfer charley hull says all her hard work is paying off. she's won the opening tournament on the european tour, the ladies open in abu dhabi.

it's two years since her first and last title, but she held the lead overnight and just held on for the victory. a final round of 69 saw the 22 year old win by a single stroke i have practised really hard over the winter and it feels great to win, especially as i had my first professional in morocco four years ago andi professional in morocco four years ago and i won on the tour in america two years later. this is another one. hopefully i can get of humour wins this year. i have been practising really hard and it shows my hard work has played. —— paid off. there was a dramatic second race of the formula e season in morocco, as belgianjerome 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 taking a free kick inside his own half, as keepers usually do. what was the other goalkeeper doing? a 70 yard free kick that institute keeper martin gallagher couldn't stop. his first goal in 723 appearances for glentoran. they won 2—0. they hadn't won in ten matches. -- 11 —— 11 matches. didn't he feel

pleased with himself? get back in goal. the other border vercoutre. —— poor goalkeeper. it must be awful for him. the wind was behind the kicker as well. it was good though. poor thing. thank you. classical music has come a long way since the days of beethoven and bach, thanks to teenage stars such as sheku kannah mason and collaborations from pop stars likejess glynne. lots of orchestras do stuff with modern music. it has changed it hugely. in the last two years, there has been a 70% increase in sales. in a moment we'll ask why the genre is top of the pops, but first let's take a listen. classical music

cool? well, i'm delighted. i think it has always been cool. i think what we are seeing now, artists have got the originality, the authenticity, and actually this is what classical music has always done but the audience now has a hunger for this originality and for creativity, for a new music. as part of the, i don't want to use the word renaissance, because i don't think it is, is that because classical music has embraced popular music? the halle 0rchestra has done harry potter night. i think the popular media, film music, game music, has made a real surge. having light orchestra concerts with screen as well is becoming a trend. selling and concert halls. it gets different

audiences in, people who may not have gone to a concert hall. someone who went to see casino royale, and the music was played in life. these events a re the music was played in life. these events are fantastic. i don't think this is new. if you look at volta, beethoven, they always embraced the popular music of the time. mozart. classical music plays the long game. we have always done that. the audiences now appreciating the range and breath of what we do. we have a lwa ys and breath of what we do. we have always done it. the first great film composer was a great viennese composer. that is a good way for people to find a way in if they were intimidated by classical music. when they hear it in a film. yeah. that is what has helped with the physical sales of cds. is what has helped with the physical sales of cbs. tv shows like game of

thrones have won awards for the score. people want that memorabilia with their box set. they want the harry potter soundtrack because it is popular and people know it and they love it. having the chance to experience that live is what people are really hungry. i'mjust looking at this, streaming of classical music increased by 42%. streaming lets you go on a journey, doesn't it? the way that music is being created on spotify or indeed bbc sounds...! 0n created on spotify or indeed bbc sounds... ! 0n message! created on spotify or indeed bbc sounds...! 0n message! there is a depth of experience in classical music which people are really having the opportunity to explore. some of these younger artists coming through, who are the product of the investment in the past 30 years in music education by orchestras, there is some really exciting work going on and there has been for some

decades. we are seeing the fruits of that, brilliant younger artists coming through who can explore music ina coming through who can explore music in a different way. as the increasing popularity, does it mean that some of the classical old composers that have been the mainstay, that have perhaps been a barrierfor mainstay, that have perhaps been a barrier for some mainstay, that have perhaps been a barrierfor some people because they felt intimidated, are they declined in importance? not important, no. if you want to understand music, listen to beto when —— beto when's string quartets. this is fine. there is enough music out there. there is plenty of music out there. classical music provides the breath, the individual can find their own way through. that is what we have been doing in the last 30 years in education, allowing people to find their own voice. just watching that and seeing all the musicians, it is wonderful to see a whole orchestra together. even as a part of the

audience you feel part of it. what is it like from the point of view of a musician? it is great. coming together with up to 100 people added time and making together from the same score, every time there is such a different interpretation. to allow young people to be able to do that and make theirown young people to be able to do that and make their own interpretations of any kind of new music, new compositions, old music, whatever they want to do, it's really special and important for us to keep encouraging and exposing. and important for us to keep encouraging and exposinglj and important for us to keep encouraging and exposing. i know this is a crass thing to say that the skill is incredible. i know someone the skill is incredible. i know someone who plays a summer instrument to you alex, who will go and doa instrument to you alex, who will go and do a film soundtrack. they don't even see it before they turn up and they just do it. even see it before they turn up and theyjust do it. the skill, for the rest of us, is something to marvel at. i work in the sheffield music academy and we are training classical musicians to push the

boundaries and become those kind of musicians and aspire to be musicians if they want to be. to give them the chance and the opportunity to be exposed to all kind of music and train them and discipline them so they can be those kind of musicians. they can play something if they want to. - amazing skill. thank you very much. alex and simon, thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. that is not here. we haven't got any snow coming. no. i love this picture. it is from southern germany yesterday. it gives a sense of how much snow has fallen in the past week. a major, a metre and a half. some have seen as much as twice that. red warnings and avalanche warnings across parts of austria and

switzerland today. another metre of snow possible for some. things turn quieter across europe this week. but don't forget, that will have to melt at some point. it is not going anywhere in a hurry. more snow on the latter stage of january and the start of february. things could turn colderfor start of february. things could turn colder for us. today turning fresher after a mild start. temperatures between ten and 12 degrees so far. is this cold front moves south, more moisture. a more north westerly airflow. temperatures will drop this afternoon. lots of cloud around england and wales. patchy rain and drizzle. heading south. brighter skies following. sunny spells but with shower clouds in the west. most of those across scotland. cloudy in the south this afternoon. temperatures holding between nine and 12. a breezy day. the breeze does help to break up the clyde. 0r

wintry showers by then but none of that snow we have been seen in europe. enjoy the rest of your sunday. thank you for keeping us company. 0ur thank you for keeping us company. our next guest is going for a walk. nothing dramatic in that, you might think, other than the fact that she's not going to go back home forfour years. karen penny is going to take in all 20,000 miles around the coast of britain and ireland to raise money for dementia research, following the death of her mother and father—in—law. karen and her husband markjoin us now. why do we even start?! this is a long walk. where did the idea come from? i have always had a passion for woking. every time i could get time off work i thought, that's down to it and get some respite. i have walked north to south and south to

north. two years ago i walked john 0'groats to land's north. two years ago i walked john 0'groats to lands end. that has rekindled my fascination. what better opportunity now than to do this walk? when you think about it, with all the inlets and the coldest... is quite right. it's hard to quantify the mouse unless you plot every single day of your route. iam not plot every single day of your route. i am not just plot every single day of your route. i am notjust woking around the uk mainland but the whole of ireland. you have all the estuaries. if you can walk across water, that would be brilliant! you must have like i do, given what i do with the triathlons, a very understanding husband, who is here. she is going to be away for four years. i will see her every six

weeks. that is the idea. offer support. depending on the needs and demands. good weeks will be fine. bad weeks more often. six to eight weeks, hopefully. support, swap kit and take it from there. see how we go. i don't know how heavy that is but the rucksack is plonked on the sofa. about 17 kilos. there is a tent inside. i am camping most nights. a lie low. winter clothing. the national trust bought me some peanuts and kristin sweet and things to put in the pockets, it is everything you can think of in there. all lightweight. itried everything you can think of in there. all lightweight. i tried to cut down the break as well by cutting the handle off my toothbrush. it does make a difference. presumably you will see

somebody else other than marketing between those six—week gaps because you will need to get provisions? exactly. you own designated coastal paths and you're through areas, every time you see a buy something so that you have something on you. when i get to ireland people have already been ringing in and saying, when you get to county connemara, don't worry, we will bring food parcels out to you. which is really kind. before we run out of time, you are doing this for an important cause. it is for alzheimer's research uk. and basically, mark bus pa rents research uk. and basically, mark bus parents sadly passed away. one with cognitive impairment, which became full set on alzheimer's, and his mother with vascular dementia. as a result of that i thought, if i'm going to do a walk such as this,

let's do the best i can in terms of fundraising. we are raising money for alzheimer's research uk. there has to be a breakthrough for this terrible illness. that is the plan. a £100,000 target. must mean a lot to you, mark? a tremendous amount. we saw my parents in their deteriorating years. it never holds back. it keeps getting worse. you see back. it keeps getting worse. you see people you love and care about this cheery raging in front of your eyes and there is nothing you can do about it. —— deteriorating. this is about it. —— deteriorating. this is a great opportunity to raise awareness and to raise funds for a worthwhile charity. how do people support you? basically, i have got a sort of call sign or a handle, it is called, the penny rolls on. if you put that into just giving, facebook, you will not only see myjourney but if you put it in, it will give you

the links to the website and everything. you are called karen penny, i get it! from a personal point of view, you're pretty good in your own company? yes. i am a social person but i am good with my own time. i take my hat off to you. incredible. good luck. fouryears. we will speak to you on the way. thank you. that is it. i would be back tomorrow morning from six o'clock. but from the sunday team, thank you for watching. enjoy the rest of your day. bye—bye. this is bbc news. the headlines at nine. theresa may warns mps — a failure to deliver brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy." a bbc investigation reveals gambling addicts were able to sign back into existing online accounts by just making minor changes to their personal details. emergency services continue
