this is bbc news. the headlines at six. theresa may warns mps — a failure to deliver brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy." the leader of the opposition, jeremy corbyn, spells out what labour will do if theresa may loses the vote on tuesday. we will table a motion of no—confidence in the government at a time of our choosing, but it will be soon. don't worry about that. tributes are paid after an 11—year—old boy playing on his bike is killed in a hit and run accident in beswick in greater manchester. pressure on donald trump as the partial shutdown of the us government become the longest in history with no end in sight to the political stand off. three people have been killed — and a fourth is missing — after an avalanche near the austrian ski resort of lech. and we'll have a round up of today's sport in half an hour including exeter‘s victory over french champions castres — keeping alive their champions cup hopes.

theresa may and her ministers are making last minute appeals for mps to support the eu deal that'll be put to the vote in the house of commons on tuesday. the prime minister warned today that the trust of voters in the democratic process is at stake if brexit is not delivered, whilejeremy corbyn says labour will table a vote of no confidence in the government ‘soon‘ after any defeat. our chief political correspondent vicki young reports. she bought herself more time by delaying this crucial brexit vote but theresa may has just two days to persuade mps to back her deal. so far there is little

sign of growing support but the prime minister continues to make her case. writing in the sunday express she warned mps that if parliament stopped brexit it would be... the government is hoping for more reassurances from the eu on the terms of the uk's departure. the brexit secretary admitted the government faces a challenge to get its deal through. we're working hard with colleagues, we're working hard with eu leaders. the prime minister has been speaking to them in terms of the specific concerns we've heard, particularly on the issue of the backstop. after losing crucial votes in the commons, downing street now says it is worried that opponents of brexit could find a way to take control of parliamentary business. mr barclay said that should focus the minds of brexiteers. the uncertainty in terms of what will happen in the house has increased and so those on the brexiteer side seeking ideological purity with a deal are risking brexit. last week speakerjohn bercow made it clear that he has allowed mps

to have their say on brexit, so an unpredictable political situation is now even more uncertain. even if mps can seize control of what is going on there in the house of commons, can they agree on an alternative to theresa may's plan? some want to stop a no—deal brexit, others want a different kind of deal or another referendum. will you win a confidence vote? so, what does the labour leader want? jeremy corbyn is against theresa may's deal and wants a general election. many in his party want another referendum. he though sounds reluctant. my own view is that i would rather get a negotiated deal now if we can to stop the danger of a no deal exit from the eu on the 29th of march, which would be catastrophic for industry, catastrophic for trade, and the long—term effects of that would be huge. we will do everything we can to prevent a no deal exit. the people's vote campaign

group were out in force in sheffield this weekend — insisting support for another referendum is increasing. the liberal democrat leader thinks mps will assert themselves if the government loses on tuesday. parliament will take control of this process, will insist that we pursue the option of no brexit. it can happen in one of two ways. it can happen simply by cancelling article 50, which i think would be resented by lots of people, or it can happen by parliament saying actually we go back to the public to have the final say. it's hard to find anyone in westminster who thinks theresa may will win the vote. everyone is talking about plan b but there is no agreement about what that is. and vicki young is here with me now. the prime minister has had many tough weeks in recent months. is this about to be detected? yes, it has to be because the boat now means

finally people are going to give their verdict. —— going to be the toughest. in westminster, there isn't anybody who thinks the deal will go through on tuesday. it feels like damage limitation in our room was a more conservative mps switching from being against her deal and may be backing him, the press association have tweeted something about sir edward lee may be falling into line. it is possible there may be some movement whether it is anywhere enough i tuesday, i doubt that. everybody has been for weeks really talking about plan b but nobody agrees on what that is, so but nobody agrees on what that is, so that i still campaigning saying they want a second referendum, but again, it doesn't seem to be a majority for that. i think that is the one thing to get help theresa may at this point, her opponents cannot agree on what they are in favour of, so they know what they are against but in the end, you have to be in favour of something. then i coalescing around any one particular plant. it was very interesting

listening tojeremy corbyn they're saying what he wants is a negotiated deal. he has saying that if he gets a general election, he would presumably carry on with brexit but we get a different dell. he is certainly not in favour of a second referendum. the talk of various amendments. creeping into tuesday. would different mike that may? talk now may be of an amendment which says we would effectively accept this deal if the eu allowed us to leave that backstop at a certain date. even though that is not compatible with the deal that has been done, it would be a way of saying to brussels this is what needs to be done in orderfor it saying to brussels this is what needs to be done in order for it to go through. russell says we don't know what the uk once a day would a nswer know what the uk once a day would answer that question. i'm not sure if that particularly would help but it might show that theresa may could have another go at that. the message clearly coming from downing street to brexiteers is that need to be

careful what you wish for. it is not the perfect brexit but look at what john breck eisner and company medically he well on the comments to have a say but they are against a no deal situation. therefore, is that the best brexit that the mps will get. that can be a powerful argument over the next two weeks. but i think some are saying theresa may mike do the indicative vote what she says to the indicative vote what she says to the comments should challenge them to say you voted against my deal, what we vote for? —— to the comments and tell us on. it is a bit risky because we just don't know how it will pan out. if brussels sees a government defeat on tuesday, any hint that then they might shift a bit? that is what some people think but it has to defeated in order for as iain duncan smith will put it, real negotiations to start because everybody assumed that both sides don't want and no deal situation. it would be potentially very difficult for both sides so some say that would focus the minds of the eu

maybe they can give us a bit more andi maybe they can give us a bit more and i think i will let theresa may if she is the fitted the first thing she needs to do is to go back to brussels to get something else in the expectation from any pc would come back to the house the following monday they give it another go. it helps that again the numbers will go down. —— expectations from the mps. it is all very uncertain. you have what would have. thank you. —— quite a week ahead. the family of an 11—year—old boy who was killed in a hit and run accident in manchester yesterday have paid tribute to him, saying he was a cheeky, handsome lad. taylor schofield was treated by paramedics at the scene but died of his injuries in hospital. police are questioning a suspect, as fiona trott reports. he was an 11—year—old boy, out playing on his bike. taylor schofield was treated at the scene but died a short time later. it happened here on albert street in beswickjust after 6pm yesterday. greater manchester police said they are trying to establish

the full details of what happened. a grey volkswagen golf was abandoned nearby. they're asking anybody with information to come forward. today, people living in this close community came out to lay flowers, including members of taylor's family. friends and neighbours say they are devastated. it's heartbreaking, it's absolutely awful what's happened, it's absolutely devastating. my thoughts are with his family and obviously all the close friends and stuff that have been affected by it. it's absolutely devastating. the police investigation into what's happened here is still ongoing but people in the neighbourhood say this has been a dangerous road for years. how many lives have got to be taken before they step... ? they need bumps on this road to stop it. it's disgusting. something needs to be done. some of the children coming to pay their respects have been very young. a member of staff says taylor's school is making plans to support the pupils tomorrow. fiona trott, bbc news, greater manchester.

some breaking news from northern ireland were two men have died in separate falls in the morning mountains, the fatal accidents occurred within an hour of each other this afternoon, the police services expected said police received a request from assistance after a man was reported to have follow u p after a man was reported to have follow up or walking shortly before midday. then they received a further request for assistance after a another man was reported to have followed shortly before 1pm in different spots. listen other services responded, fortunately, she said both men died at the scene. more on that one we have it. scotland's first minister has referred herself to a standards panel over meetings she had with her predecessor — alex salmond — while he was being investigated over claims of sexual harassment. he denies the allegations. our correspondent katie hunter in glasgow told us why

nicola sturgeon has taken this step. nicola sturgeon says it is in the interests of the two women who made the complaint is that the police investigation be allowed to continue without risk of prejudice. nicola sturgeon has said she met alex salmond three times as big to him on the phone twice after the to him on the phone twice after the allegations were made to the scottish government in 2018. on tuesday the highest civil court in scotland ruled the scottish government's handling of the allegations was unlawful. nicola sturgeon has said she acted in good faith and appropriately throughout in adherence with the ministerial code. she said she understands it is important that parliament and the public he reassured that. alex salmond still faces a police investigation. he strenuously denies the allegations made against him. a fourth person has died as a result of a massive gas explosion in paris. rescuers pulled the body of a woman from the rubble of a bakery in the centre of the city. two firefighters and a tourist from spain were also killed

yesterday, with dozens injured and nearby apartments badly damaged. the partial shutdown of the us government — over president trump's demands forfunding to build a wall along the mexican border — has entered its 23rd day. more than eight hundred thousand workers haven't been paid and today the president tweeted it was all the democrats fault. david willis reports. as the politicians wrangle, the tangible effects of the longest government shutdown in us history are on display. this, a food bank for some of the hundreds of thousands of government workers who are working but not being paid. most of all the shutdown is affecting me emotionally. i mean, we did not ask for this. i'm a veteran. i have served my country as well as working at the state department for over 35 years.

pressure is building on president trump, as the latest opinion polls show more americans blame him and his party for the shutdown than the democrats. for his part, the president is making much of the fact that whilst he is here in washington, ready and willing to negotiate, democrat leaders are in puerto rico for a winter retreat and a fundraising performance at the musical, hamilton. early this morning, he tweeted... the president has toyed with declaring a national emergency in order to get funding for his wall. but some senior republicans are urging caution. i would urge him to open up the government for a short period of time, like three weeks, before he pulls the plug, see if we can get a deal. the trickle—down effects of this dispute are being felt at places like this. miami international airport has been forced to partly close

one of its terminals because of a shortage of staff. with air traffic controllers also caught up in the dispute, union officials are warning that the longer it goes on, the greater the chance that passenger safety could be compromised. three people have been killed — and a fourth is missing — after an avalanche near the austrian ski resort of lech. austria has been hit by record snowfall in the past week — and there have been more than 20 weather related deaths across parts of the alps this month. our correspondent bethany bell is in scheibbs in lower austria. weather conditions have been causing havoc austria and crossed the alps in recent days. it has been extremely difficult for the authorities to cope with the task of clearing the task of clearing away all of the snow. and in some places, the risk of avalanches is that it is very highest level. there have been

four and several confirmed test this weekend including three skiers in the ski resort. mountain regions in austria are used to snow but this is extreme. days of heavy snowfall are taking their toll. last night three skiers from germany were killed in an avalanche in lech. their bodies were found on a ski route that had been closed off because of the danger of avalanches. a fourth person is still missing. translation: yesterday evening we decided to cancel the search because it had become too dangerous. we know how the weather will develop so we can probably initiate the search again on wednesday. the risk of more avalanches is very high. some ski resorts and mountain villages have had to be evacuated. other areas are snowed in. these firefighters near the town of kleinzell in central austria

are working round the clock to clear snow from homes and buildings. the snow is very heavy and there is a real risk this roof could cave in. translation: it is quite dangerous work. as you can see all the men are harnessed because you could easily slip off while coming down. the risk is relatively high. driving conditions are treacherous. it is a struggle to keep the streets clear. underneath this white blanket is a tarmac road. this area has not seen this much snow in well over a decade. in neighbouring germany, the army has been brought in to help clear the roads. and people here are bracing themselves for more. heavy snow is forecast over the next few days. bethany bell, bbc news, near kleinzell in the austrian alps. injapan, a group of skiers

because of tension over the killing of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. the us senate has blamed the crown prince, mohammed bin salman, for the murder. mr pompeo has not, but says he'll press the crown prince to ensure those responsible are held fully accountable. our correspondent barbara plett usher is in riyadh. the trial started last week with a number of suspects, some of whom the prosecutor wants to issue the death penalty from the state department said it was a good start but they are still unhappy with the response asa are still unhappy with the response as a whole, still say the narrative about what actually happened is not really credible in of the saudi of events still not completely credible and they want more steps taken to make sure that everybody is held accountable. beyond that, visiting go into details, but the americans have sanctioned one of the crown

prince's a top advisers on the understanding that he was complicit in the murders and i expect that that will be one of the things that mr pompeo will race with the crown prince, what has happened to this adviser and will he be held accountable and where is the will be other questions as well as well as they push forward on this file. 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. five live investigates has seen evidence that those who self—exclude can easily sign back in to accounts. gamstop says it has helped more than 50,000 people self—exclude but now the gambling commssion says it plans to ask betting firms to build in enhanced identity verification to prevent customers gambling using incorrect details to access their accounts. earlier i spoke to liz karter — a therapist who specialises in treating gambling addictions. what i know from my 18 years of experience that what drives

a gambling addiction, certainly for anyone i have treated, is some degree of emotional and mental difficulty. so, typically, stress, depression or anxiety drive a desire to emotionally medicate by whichever form of gambling that person is choosing. in simple terms, whether they are gambling for what might be described as a buzz or a high or a rush, from fast moving forms of gambling such as casino tables or sports betting which creates a high or whether, which is increasingly common, as 98% of the woman i work with discover, that staring at a computer screen or a slot machine creates a sense of numbing or complete absorption. it shuts out other problems. it shuts out other problems but because it is gambling, very,

very sadly and often in a very devastating way for many people they start to lose track, not only of their problems but of how much money they are spending, and online that is very easy because there is no cash to hand over. we can all relate to that, how easy it is to pay a bill online because we are not handing over cash. often people don't realise how much they've spent until there is no money left and that of course, makes it very, very difficult for that person to stop because they are emotionally driven to gamble. their cravings are every bit as real and strong as someone addicted to class a drugs. it makes it difficult for the industry to be able to have a meaningful conversation with that person. they are a real risk of developing

an addiction to gambling in the same way they alcohol or recreational drugs, digitaladdiction. almost a fifth of councils in england have introduced a ban on begging, yet only ten of 244 fines issued have been paid. a new system that allows people to donate to the homeless via a contactless payment in the street is being piloted in peterborough to try and deter beggers. jo taylor reports. 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 passer—by gave him a jumper and 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, 5a 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 powerfor genuine anti—social 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. it will still 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. jo taylor, bbc news, peterborough. and you can find out what happed to max and others begging in peterborough — on inside out, tomorrow at 7.30pm on bbc one in the east of england — and then afterwards across the uk on the iplayer.

in india, a two day camel festival has begun in the town of bikaner in rajasthan, attended by thousands of people. the opening day saw a procession from junagarh fort and activities including camel fur cutting and camel decoration. the two day festival is popular with locals and tourists alike. police in south oxfordshire are pursuing a renegade emu which is causing disruption on local roads. thames valley police were called just before midday to help hunt down the bird, which was first seen running in the road at peppard common near henley. the owner is helping police to try and locate it after a number of other sightings. it's the second time an emu has been on the run in oxfordshire. in 2015 edward the emu escaped his home in wheatley and was on the run for six days. now it's time for a look

at the weather with susan. hello. we're definitely seeing more in the way of sunshine across the uk today than yesterday, but as the skies cleared, we've also imported some chillier air, so it has felt pressure, despite the brighter weather. the reason it's turned a little chilly is a cold front has sunk its way south across the uk, not producing much in the way of rain but allowing some relatively cold air in. behind this band of showers working its way south and there is cooler air still. we have had a windy day, those winds will gradually ease through the night, the weather feature kind of fizzles out in terms of bringing many showers as it makes its way south, certainly the cold air does feed in behind it, a frosty start for scotland on monday. further south lows of li—sd, typically frost free apart from one or two isolated spots. for monday the story is of a fresher day for most of us,

but then temperatures will bounce back up for tuesday, then towards the end of the week they will tail back down to below average values again, so a fluctuating story in the next five days. monday, largely under the influence of high pressure, the tail end of that weather feature in the east on monday may be giving us isolated showers, a warm front trying to come into the west. essentially a dry day, a pretty bright day for many, but with a fresher feel, just four degrees in aberdeen. but remember this area of cloud and drizzly rain, as i said, it is a warm front which will run across us into tuesday, so back into milder atlantic air, a different feel for tuesday, because it will feel rather like the weekend, certainly on the mild side. for many, some sunshine, the better chances further south and east. scotland, this weather front

will grind to a halt through tuesday and wednesday, some persistent rain here, totals in one or two spots up to 100 millimetres, but typically 30—110 where the rain lingers across the islands. by the middle of the week, we will start to see those weather feature slipping away south once again, clearer skies, dry up for thursday and friday, turning noticeably colder. dominant hello this is bbc news. the headlines... theresa may has warned mps, preparing to vote on her eu withdrawal deal, that a failure to deliver brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy." tributes are paid after an 11—year—old boy killed in a hit and run accident in beswick in greater manchester police. there's pressure on donald trump as the partial shutdown of the us government becomes the longest in history with no end in sight to the political stand off. parts of germany, austria

evening, he's out of the master super. just a few hours to go for the start of the astro van open, could it be the last we see as a professional player. one down the road, you can look back on the incredibly cloud that he has achieved. what again forjoining us. the premier league. what's but he passed it with flying colours. united beat spurs1—0. it with flying colours. united beat spurs 1—0. the only goal of the game with the first half. they need them

to keep it six wins in a row now in all competitions. the united announced six and delete with level on points. bournemouth fans will be disappointed this evening — they faded at goodison in the day's early kick off, and in the end it was everton who took their chances. the 2—0 win moves them up into the top ten — nick parrott was watching: the recent formal have them in a relegation battle despite that they are currently at table. this was a scrappy are currently at table. this was a scrappy encounter. penalty of were turned down. a few first—half chances cannot be converted. goalkeeperjordan was relief. the blues have more perception —— possession but they could get on

target. they could have taken the lea k target. they could have taken the leak though might lead. the dutchman marketing fresh air came storming in to claim his first goal bradenton. they finished the game for the home side. that was a bath apartment. the double their disappointment with just seconds to go. nick. staying with football and arsenal lost for the second time this season in the women's super league — beaten 2—1 by reigning champions chelsea. scottish international erin cuthbert headed chelsea into a deserved lead and volleyed them ahead further still in the second half. despite a late tap in from the league's top scorer vivienne miedama, chelsea closed the gap to arsenal to just two points. well manchester city have overtaken arsenal at the top of the wsl thanks to a 3—1win over west ham. wins too today for bristol and liverpool, whilst brighton and everton drew 0—0.

the women's championship match between charlton and manchester united had to be abandoned today, after an injury to charlton's charlotte kerr. the game was stopped for nearly an hour while kerr received treatment on the field — an ambulance was called and the game was abandoned. no detail has been given on kerr's injury, charlton say they'll give an update after kerr has had a scan. it was a must win match for the exeter chiefs in ruby union's champions cup — and quite a match—up too, against the french champions castres. but they finally managed to find some form in european competition — and just at the right time. patrick gearey reports. it isa it is a rugby mystery, the curious case of exeter. struggled and continental competition. the alibi for the anglo man is he has been out. says the return of his injury,

he did this. good timing forflop —— english man. follow soon afterwards though. the raining french champion levels. without a win, exeter were out. his strength and skill created... followed them over, he looks like the top of the premiership. going prayerfully down the runway but tommy did the landing. any remaining cast our hopes were slayed by slayed indirect card. how they wished they would have solved this riddle sooner. glasgow warriors are closing in on the quarter final places — they beat cardiff blues 33—24. they scored a bonus point too thanks for five tries at scotstoun. saracens are into the last eight

after a comfortable bonus point victory at lyon. ben spencer scored the last of four tries in a 28 points to 10 win to keep sarries top of pool 3 ahead of glasgow it's the first day of the the masters snooker, and we've already had a shock. defending champion mark allen is out, beaten by belgium's luca brecel. hazel irvine and the team were watching at alexandra palace. a seismic surprise the defending champion is out. be in and some styles. i don't think anyone thought that he had enough in the tank to beat him who had been superb. what we saw today is a more mature player around the table who looks like he's brimming with competent —— confident and also a calmness as well. probably the best performance of his year. a final frame decider. the

first defending champion to go out into the other 60. it was first shot mercy we did in the early stage. it was a match that was full of wonderful breaks, top quality as well. you need to cancel the word safety, no safety play there. what are safety, no safety play there. what a re two safety, no safety play there. what are two shots that alan played, because lugar was playing so well. you never want to come back as a defendant champion and go out the first round as he has been. he played good enough but not well enough. it was a real discussion point because for the first time in the masters, they had ten minutes on the masters, they had ten minutes on the match beforehand before, and it was only him who decided to go for it. what do you think how i gave him an advantage? perhaps he got us beat

up an advantage? perhaps he got us beat up the table, he might of had another go at it he was perhaps a little bit more sure airway. the damage was after when he came back he did not collapse one little bit. it was a very mature performance by a young man who do not really know how good he is going to be because he has promised a lot, he has all the time in the world. thanks for sharing it with you guys. if you wa nt sharing it with you guys. if you want more life. seven o'clock is the time for the two—time former it champion this evening. back to you in the studio. it's world cup year in netball — and the commonwealth champions have one last chance to pit their wits against the worlds best before the tournament in july. the quad series involving england, australia, south africa and new zealand kicks off today — and england are up against the kiwis first — our reporter emily croydon

is in liverpool... i've been watching the match in the studio, i cannot see it now. how is england getting on? it has been a really intense first half of the match. england just edging at 25—24 at the break. the fact that it is so tight shells out it —— shows how adam poore and it is. that shows how important it is. the first—ever quad series, victory and stomach that authority ahead of the world cup showing that there really considers for the title. after an experimental autumn period, the strongest squad is back together. the goalkeeper the mentor, they are making a massive way. they're so quick and thought

and movement. the rest of the team seems that feed off of their leaders. as i say, new zealand isn't matching england at every set at the moment. it is very tight at the break. what about the previous match because we already seeing a show that ends up africa have action? yes, absolutely. the world number one side, australia, secured more results a comfortable victory. it was not without interest because they started slowly, they look very u nsettled, they started slowly, they look very unsettled, perhaps due to the loss of their goal shooter and captain due to injury because she broke her arm. it took to settle at the circle, but when they did, they pulled away south africa and the latter stages 62—115 the final score andi latter stages 62—115 the final score and i want. they look perhaps like the team to beat in this series. it has been a fascinating day for five

not to say that england is looking for a way to get past fresh new zealand side there. with a new coach, after failing to win a medal at the commonwealth games last year. they are bringing lots of intensity to this game. it will certainly fill good for england to get a win under their belts. heading to london next week for the matches. if you want the follow the rest of this one, it is life. let's take a look at the other sports stories making the headlines this sunday evening... the former leeds united striker phil masinga has died at the age of 49. he played in the premier league for two seasons afterjoining leeds in 1994, was capped 58 times by south africa, and played at the world cup in france in 1998. elise christie's won her second european short track championship medal in as many days...taking bronze in the 1000m. she won silver in the 1500m yesterday, on what was her first

solo race since her injury at the winter olympics last year. not so good though for britain's dave ryding. he's out of the world cup slalom in switzerland after failing to finish his first run in tricky conditions. the race was won by the olympic champion marcel hirscher. just a few hours to go now until the start of the first grand slam of the tennis season, with seven british players in action on day one of the australian open. but the focus, as you'd expect, remains on andy murray who tomorrow morning may play his last ever match as a professional. joe wilson reports. andy murray warns us that he has very little left. that is ok because he has given us everything. he shared every emotion on court with some of the greatest men's player who have ever lived. the fiercest

rivals can't also be close friends. that is the essence of sport, and thatis that is the essence of sport, and that is why andy murray will be missed. not just that is why andy murray will be missed. notjust for me but for all sport because andy murray is very respected and a likeable guy around the locker room. he is a great champion, legend of the sport without a doubt. andy murray's decision to stop is a real out —— reality check. saying that those who seemed ageless can't not go on forever. i was shocked to know now that we are going to lose him at some point, but we are going to lose everybody at some point. now, it is a definite. while andy murray has lived in pain for so long, he has had time to imagine the end. until the last ball is struck, he has zero motivation he says to do anything

different. let's stay in australia and talk about the big bash, where the england bowler harry gurney took two wickets on his debut for melbourne renegades. he couldn't stop them slipping to a heavy defeat to the brisbane heat though, who absolutely walloped the ball around the ground. . . nice try from a fan there. former new zealand captain brendon mccullum was one gurney‘s victims — but his 69 helped his side to a big total of 192 forfour, which melbourne never came close to reaching. and it was a good day too for cameron bancroft. he was one of the three players banned over the australian ball—tampering scandal last year. his ban finished at the end of last month, and today he hit an unbeaten 87 off 61 balls to help the perth scorchers beat the sydney sixers. finally — the f1 season may be over, but lewis hamilton is still thrill seeking... turns out he's a pretty handy surfer

— here he is at an artificial surf centre catching a few waves before a fairly spectacular crash. he's not had many of those in his driving career recently. and it must be pretty chilly because after that, he's off to the hot—tub to warm up with 11 time world surfing champion kelly slater. maybe i would be as good as him if i had kelly as my teacher. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. we have stan and ollie about the tour of the uk. in the front one or a political drama starring hugh jackman. he touches pretty good and

it? i thought she was really good. it isa it? i thought she was really good. it is a story of the author and the performer. we met at the very beginning. she'd is a country girl who falls in love with an entrepreneur. he has a pen name and he writes books by the people. he ta kes he writes books by the people. he takes her to paris and introduces her to a new and exciting life. he is doing quite well but his expenses are normal. he has the stable people writing for him. he has a brand name. he needs new writers, new inspiration. he suddenly realises that the solutions has problems may be right in front of him. they never get a job on their own! i lend them my name, my reputation, i take all the risk and there's still no money! we need more output. can't you pay another writer? pay with what?

not even thousands this month. 250 for the music reviews. it does not come with the outgoing. how do you spend so much money? what you want me to do live like a mock? we get copper mines. you can write. those stories that you told me last year. my school stories? try it. start immediately. aim for four hours at the time. so she starts to write under a structured from her husband to do so. the next thing is that she has a school novel in a become so huge hit. the publishers are thrilled and it turns out it is are thrilled and it turns out it is a huge hit for young woman readers so a huge hit for young woman readers so she is sold to write another one. but no one knows that she writes.

everyone thinks her husband is writing. it then becomes a story of someone writing. it then becomes a story of someone attempting to find their own bias —— boys, their own place of the world. i really like this. the director did a story about alzheimer's before of the idea of someone alzheimer's before of the idea of someone have an idea in losing it. this story is about so have an idea and someone else claim he gets. it has a certain amount of grits glamorously told. it is very greatly written and handsomely filmed. really good performances, one of whom has the mortality, one is vain and full of himself, absolutely certain that he understands how the world works. it reminds me of another story. it is very similar. not so long ago, mary shelley has a

similar theme, the wife is a particularly similar comparison. that is a story of a relationship where there is a tablet and the public face. this is about how so much —— how someone can grasp their own future. it is also about all of those things that are ported nowadays, the idea of celebrity culture creating this kind of misty in which someone is wearing all of these close and they are branded. and about how much you can own your public image. i thought it was really good if and not least for the performances. are you a fan? not really. at the very beginning, we meet them at the height and they're making their way out west. they want more money, because the 16 years later, they are financially struck, they end up in the uk doing a tour

to lodge a project that robin hood spoof. but it is about still being interested in them. and it is about them re—finding each other because it is about the return of —— the trail. one of them has made eight dome without the other. it is described as two double acts for the price of one. they are every bit as chalk and cheese as stan and ollie will stop it is this love triangle, it works really well. the performances are well. the physicality is this right. the voices are absolutely perfect. what i really like about this is it is tender and melancholy. it has a sort of bittersweet heart. there are lots of bittersweet heart. there are lots of laughs, lots of moments in which things you recognise in the movie bring to real life where they are

pulling a truck over his stores the stairs and there is a moment where they check into hotel and fan falls over the suitcases, there isn't intertwined over life and fiction. the performances are great. you really do believe you are watching "sta n really do believe you are watching "stan & ollie". even if you not like riley... while at the other guys are bad enough. i am old enough but it did not seem to make an impact. gary looked at one point he was libya very strong candidate, and he's playing by hugh jack very strong candidate, and he's playing by huthack make, he is charismatic, on the way up, a scandal breaks, the miami herald says that he is having an affair. they follow this up, he makes a casual comment to journalists who asked about his private life. if you follow me around, you'll find that

is bored. so they do. and they discovered that there is something going on. i can assure you, senator, this is relevant. we saw you living back with a woman, we do not see her. you cannot be serious. no one is paid at my home. i am serious, sir. how long have you known this woman? will had a question is that? is she a fan? why would i tell you that was that this has gone long enough. we know that you have been making calls to kansas. i would add your speech, you said we must hold ourselves accountable at the highest possible standards of integrity, ethics... then why are we sending care? why are we standing in an alley on a saturday night? the date she owes it to us? the only thing i

deny is that you would think you have the right to ask me this. is about a tipping point, where the press is more interested about private life is set up policies. the film suggest that this is the moment where the intrusion of privacy seems to start. everything is going to be investigated, unlike the previous presidents who had no indiscretions but no one seemed to care. but that myjfk. yes he was very evoked in the film. there are two problems, firstly, the story does not ever land, it meanders from one fairly low— key land, it meanders from one fairly low—key competition to another. the other thing is we live in a world where apparently the pendulum swings back the other way, where it is very possible to take a night off this

despite scandals swirling around them. we do not care. despite scandals swirling around them. we do not carelj despite scandals swirling around them. we do not care. i cannot even imagine who you are talking about. the fact that the matter is, it is almost like the movie is say that this is the point where everything changed, and i am not entirely sure if that's true. but like interesting that we have bias coming through. if that's true. but like interesting that we have bias coming throughlj love that we have bias coming through.” love the favourite. i love the favourite, i thought it was great fun stop i is a prize about how well it has done. i got the times i thought, it edgy, very in—your—face, but i think it works really well. it is about a rivalry for affections. it is really funny but very essence of. i wonder what it was kind of about and and? i kind of. i wonder what it was kind of aboutand and? i kind of of. i wonder what it was kind of

about and and? i kind of wondered what was the point of it though. about and and? i kind of wondered what was the point of it thoughm with a personal right to story about international politics being defined as bedroom faults. it is great. the performances are really good. what fa ct performances are really good. what fact it is very watchable indeed. best dvd? i absolutely loved it. best dvd? i absolutely loved it. best of the year list. it is a story about a love affair that sweeps across 15 or 17 years, blows across political and personal boundaries. it is inspired by not exactly based on their lives, it reminded me of things like casablanca. it has got that really sweeping epic quality to it despite the fact that it is a barely —— fairly short film. it is really powerful, powerful performances, again the story

intertwines the person in the political because honestly it is about separation of state, separation of people across geographical and political boundaries. i loved it. ijust loved it. had you seen it? i have not. that is that for this week. thank you so much for watching. goodbye for now. we definitely more in terms of sunshine. as the skies have cleared, we have some chillier air cell it has felt fresher despite the brighter weather. the reason it has turned a little chillier is because a cold front suck its way south. allowing some relatively cooler air, cold air sits at the north is still. behind this band of showers that will work its way south overnight.

we had a windy day across scotland and northern england. those winds will gradually ease overnight. the weather will kind of fizzled out bringing in showers as his makes its way south. the cold air, light winds, it will be a frosty start for scotla nd winds, it will be a frosty start for scotland on monday. lows of around four or scotland on monday. lows of around fouror5 scotland on monday. lows of around four or 5 degrees, frost free except for one or two isolated spots. monday, it is about a fresher day. temperatures are going to bounce back up for tuesday, and towards the end of the week, they will tell on back below average values again. it isa back below average values again. it is a very fluctuating story you would say for the next five days. monday, we were under the influence of high pressure. the east on monday, maybe giving some isolated showers. one front coming in the west, feeding and a little bit more cloud, mickey's sunshine hazy. monday, essentially a dry day

without a bright day for many but without a bright day for many but with fresher bill, just 4 degrees there in aberdeen. this area of cloud in the drizzling rain, like i said, it is a warm front. we are back and some milder atlantic air. a different bill for tuesday because it will fill rather like the weekend, certainly on the mild side. being sunshine some of us. scott lynn though, this weather front continuing to grind tomahawks on tuesday. her sister rain here, one or two spots of the 100 mm. then by the middle of the week, we'll start to see all of the weather features slip away south. clara skies for the state and friday but turning notably colder. this is bbc news.

i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at seven. 48 hours to the big parliamentary vote, theresa may warns mps, a failure to deliver brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy." the leader of the opposition, jeremy corbyn, spells out what labour will do if the prime minister loses tuesday's vote. we will table a motion of no—confidence in the government at a time of our choosing, but it will be soon. don't worry about that. tributes are paid after an 11—year—old boy is killed playing on his bike— in a hit and run accident in beswick in greater manchester. three people have been killed — and a fourth is missing, after an avalanche near the austrian ski resort of lech. and we'll have a round up of today's sport in half an hour,
