good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: no deal or no brexit. theresa may makes a last—ditch attempt to persuade mps to back her plan just one day before the crucial common's vote. five more people are killed, as parts of europe continue to grapple with the worst winter weather for 30 years. woodburning stoves are under fire as the government unveils a new plan to tackle air pollution. good morning. big pub chains have been bucking the trend, with a 3% increase in sales last year. why are they thriving when restaurants are closing? i'll be finding out. we're waiting for a moment in tennis history, as andy murray is preparing to go on court this morning in australia. it might be the last time we see him play a competitive match. good morning. the temperature this week is going to be up and down. today fm bit of cloud. ina to be up and down. today fm bit of cloud. in a northern ireland with some showers, wintry in the

north—east. in wales, some sunshine and a few showers. i will have more details in 15 minutes. good morning. it's monday, the 14th of january. our top story: what's billed to be an extraordinary week in politics begins with a stark warning from theresa may. she will tell brexiteers that if they don't back her deal then parliament could stop the uk leaving the eu altogether. there's just a day to go before mps vote on her plan but there's little sign the prime minister has the support she needs. so how could the week unfold? let's tell you what we do know. debate on the deal mrs may has agreed with the eu continues today, and mps will vote on whether to accept it in the house of commons tomorrow evening. if, as expected, mps reject the deal, ministers have until next monday to come back to parliament with an alternative plan. but the clock is ticking down to the 29th march, the day the uk formally exits the european union, which is just 11 weeks away, as our chief political correspondent vicky young reports.

theresa may is running out of time to persuade mps to back her deal. today, she'll travel to stoke—on—trent, one of the strongest leave areas in the country, to make a final pitch. she'll tell them that parliament is more likely to block brexit than allow britain to leave the eu without a deal, so mps who've promised to respect the referendum result should get behind her plan. it was an argument used by the brexit secretary, too. the uncertainty in terms of what will happen in the house has increased, and so those on the brexiteer side seeking ideological purity with the deal are risking brexit. four brexit supporting conservative mps have announced they will now back the prime minister's plan, even though they're unhappy with some elements of it. so, what's in the withdrawal agreement theresa may has negotiated with the eu? it includes a divorce bill of around £39 billion. it outlines what happens to uk citizens living elsewhere in the eu, and eu citizens who have settled here.

it also lays out how to avoid the return of a physical border between northern ireland and ireland, the so—called backstop. will you win a confidence vote? the labour leader says his party won't vote for that plan, but he's not keen on another referendum either. 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. prospects are looking bleak for theresa may, but unless mps can decide what they want instead of her deal, she can he pushing her plan. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. —— she can keep pushing her plan. we can speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley. it does seem, and i know we have

seen this so many times on brea kfast, seen this so many times on breakfast, that this is crunch time. how likely is it that the prime minister will get the numbers she needs? it seems at the moment really unlikely, but this is hugely important, because this is mps' chance to finally pass judgement on what the pm has been working for well over two years to try and get on the brexit deal that she thinks delivers on the referendum result, but also protects the economy. but it is really hard to find anyone at westminster who at the moment thinks she is going to get the numbers to get this through. the conversation is more about how much she might lose by and what happens next. now, the pm is not giving up yet. she is going to make a speech today, making the argument to brexiteers that if you vote against her deal you risk that there will be no brexit at all. we expect this afternoon that she will be in the commons as well,

revealing some reassurance as she has got from the eu on the most controversial of all subjects, the backstop, designed to avoid a hard border in ireland. but if the vote doesn't go through, it could open up a pandora's box on most brexit option. there are a lot of mps who think they could do better and have a better idea of what brexit should look late than the prime minister's vision, so we will get clarity hopefully this week on what mps might want. yes, it is another crucial week and it will be really important. we will be watching very closely, thank you so much. we have chuka umunna from the labour party, the people's vote campaign, the brexit secretary who resigned in november, over the pm's brexit deal and liam fox, the international trade secretary as well.|j and liam fox, the international trade secretary as well. i love the

quote from the constitutional expert. if you haven't heard this, it is worth bearing in mind, we are going to live through an extraordinary week in our history and we don't know the words that will appear on the page. we have a big few days ahead. that is the lead story this morning. at least five people have been killed by unusually heavy snow in the austrian alps this weekend. there have been more than 20 weather related deaths across parts of europe so far this month, with record snowfall in some areas. bethany bell is in annaberg for us this morning. there it is a delay on the line. what conditions like today? there it is a delay on the line. what conditions like today7m there it is a delay on the line. what conditions like today? it has been snowing all night. it is knowing this morning, it is forecast to keep snowing through today. the authorities are already out, trying to clear the roads and also the ruse on houses, because you can imagine how heavy the weight of the snow is, and there is a real danger that some

bruce quick avian, so the snow clea ra nce bruce quick avian, so the snow clearance goes ahead, but all of the snow has taken its toll and we have seen deaths this weekend, three skiers were found buried in on a ski route which had been shut off because of the danger of avalanches, and a fourth skier is still missing. the authorities had to call off the search for that skier because it was too dangerous, and people are really bracing themselves in the next 2a hours to see how conditions develop. bethany, thank you very much. incredible pictures coming through from parts of europe over the last few days. have you had a major spillage? i have. apologies. iwill sort it out in a minute. coffee on the dress. cough the on the. anyway. good morning. two men have died in separate falls in the mourne mountains in northern ireland. the fatal incidents occurred within an hour of each other yesterday afternoon.

a third man was also rescued after suffering a suspected broken ankle. walkers have described poor conditions on the mountains, with high winds and fog. a mother has died and her 8—month—old baby is in a life—threatening condition in hospital after being hit by a car in london. the woman, believed to be in her 20s, was pushing her son in his pram, when the pair were struck in the penge area of bromley at around 8 o'clock last night. police say the driver, who has not been arrested, is helping with their inquires. the most polluting log burner and open fire fuels will be banned as part of an ambitious new clean air strategy to be published by the government today. the proposal also outlines plans to reduce ammonia emissions from farming and minimise pollution from the use of fertilisers. environmental campaigners say the ideas lack detail. our environment analyst roger harrabin reports. in britain's big cities, the air people breathe is often toxic.

this haze is caused by tiny airborne particles. it's bad news for people with lung problems. you can taste diesel fumes, particularly, you can feel this bitter taste in your mouth. i've even had my sons say this, when they've been out cycling. and it just makes you very, very tired. whereas when you're out of a polluted area, you have a lot more energy. in the court case over 9—year—old asthma victim ella kissi—debrah, it's alleged that pollution from london's south circular road actually contributed to her death. the government has already taken some action on cars, although environmentalists say not enough. farmers are under the spotlight now. ammonia gas released from fertilisers drifts into cities and harms health. new rules will curb the pollution. home heating produces tiny sooty particles. only the cleanest woodburning stoves

will be sold in future. and councils will have new powers to curb pollution from home fires. but even domestic products cause pollution too — new furniture, toiletries, air fresheners can all irritate the lungs. ministers want people to do their bit to reduce the risk. environmentalists want ministers to do more. roger harrabin, bbc news. a british—iranian woman detained in tehran is due to begin a three—day hunger strike, in protest against being denied specialist medical care. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is serving a five—year jail sentence, after being accused of spying by the iranian authorities, a charge she strongly denies. the british government has repeatedly called for her release. an unholy row has broken out in italy between the roman catholic church and the mayor of rome over what should happen to coins retrieved from the capital's famous trevi fountain. throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain, the legend says, and you will one day return to the eternal city.

around £1.3 million in small change is scooped out each year and given to a catholic charity that helps the poor. following a council ruling, the mayor will take control of the funds to help maintain the city's cultural assets. iam sure i am sure that was once a multiple—choice question on who wa nts to multiple—choice question on who wants to be a millionaire — how much money. i didn't know it was that much. have you cleaned up your coffee cross i am very glad i didn't spill it in you. you managed to maintain it. you have cleaned up the damage. it is all clear. give the computer survive? it is all 0k. damage. it is all clear. give the computer survive? it is all ok. i am not sure about the tights. andy murray, huge weekend, such a

reaction to the press conference... was it saturday? friday, friday morning, so we woke up to the news oi'i morning, so we woke up to the news on breakfast on friday morning and he was so emotional. yes. it was really tricky to watch at times. he is on court this morning. one of the really interesting things about murray, what was his injury? hip. no. we don't know. he has never said exactly what the injury is. we know that he has a very sore hip. whatever the process is that he has to go through, undoubtedly more surgery, we to go through, undoubtedly more surgery, we don't know what his recovery from that could be. andy murray is due on court in around an hour's time for what could be his last ever tennis match. it's day one of the australian open, where he'll be playing roberto bautista agut. murray broke down in tears on friday when he admitted he'd never completely recover from his hip injury and he'd be retiring this year. phil mercer is in melbourne for us this morning. good morning from us to you, phil.

what can you tell us about what's going on today? i imagine anticipation building before murray playing before what could potentially be his last game of tennis. that's right, andy murray's career is coming to a close and we will have a better idea in the next few hours here in melbourne in southern australia exactly how far andy murray has to go if anything at all. he has indicated that he doesn't think he will win tonight's match against the spaniard, he is hoping for the best, and speaking with british and scottish fans, they hope he can use his legendary grit and fitness to try to reach the second round in an event that he so dearly loves, but these fans are hoping for the best. you do get the sense that andy murray's career is coming toa

sense that andy murray's career is coming to a close, and perhaps tonight maybe that time. he would of course like to say goodbye at his home grand slam in wimbledon later in the year, but the doctor who performed the hip surgery last year doesn't really think that is an option. so everyone hoping that the legendary andy murray can pull one more win out of the hat and continue in the australian open. this is a man of course, he has three grand slam wins, he has appeared in ii finals, and let's hope his career just goes on a little bit further. phil, i love your optimism. that is phil, i love your optimism. that is phil mercer for us phil, i love your optimism. that is phil mercerfor us in phil, i love your optimism. that is phil mercer for us in melbourne this morning. elsewhere in sport this morning: manchester united caretaker manager ole gunnar solskjaer said his side were excellent after they beat tottenham 1—0 at wembley. he's won six games in six since he took charge, and that breaks sir matt busby‘s record. saracens' unbeaten run in the european champions cup has taken them into the quarter—finals. the two—times winners of the trophy enjoyed a bonus—point victory over lyon. and england's netballers equalled their best win over

new zealand in their opening match at the quad series, winning by 5a points to 41. head coach tracey neville said the victory, "set the tone for the series". much more on andy murray and updates on this match as we continue through the morning here on breakfast. so, let's have a look at it. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. there is so much snow in europe, isn't there? there certainly is and thatis isn't there? there certainly is and that is where we will start. you can see these pictures of the inside of an hotel in switzerland, this was caused by an avalanche. people were sitting in a restaurant, they heard a cloud noise and then all the snow came pouring in. we have also been talking about the amount of snow

here in austria. the snow has been cleared from the roofs of school so they don't collapse and there is still a warning for austria, southern germany and parts of switzerland. more snow to come today and tonight, another 60 centimetres on top of what has already fallen. there is more snow to come as we go through the course of the week. back home, a cool start of the day for some of us but as we head on through the week you will find that temperature will increase and it will turn cold again by the time we get to the end of the week. some this morning will wake up to snow showers across the far north—east of scotland. they will not last as we go through the course of the morning and we have showers in merseyside down the east coast —— side of england as well. and we see rain coming in through the west over the

course of the day that a spell of a lot across england and wales and temperatures down a touch from yesterday but roughly where they should be at this age injanuary. heading on through the evening and overnight there will be clear spells. we also have brains and will this is a waiting front coming in and it is literally waving but it will produce a lot of rain is because the course of tomorrow. into tomorrow. as you can tell, with cloud, the brief and the temperature, we do not anticipate any problems with frost. from tuesday to when they hear you the front. you can see from the ice above that be quite easy as well. to put that on the charts, here is the

rain. heavy and persistent at times in northern ireland, southern scotland, england and wales would return to the scenario of trying to find a hole in the cloud and see some scientific if anything, tomorrow will be milder than it is today. we still have a front in the north as we go through the latter pa rt north as we go through the latter part of tuesday by the time we get to wednesday morning, a cold front is coming our way. behind it in the cold air we see some rain we also see snow. this now crossing scotland will be a hill and mountain feature. as the rain pushes away from the south—east, behind it brighten a nice wee. there will be sunshine but also some showers. temperatures dropping again in the north, still hanging onto double figures. thank you for updating us on what is happening in europe. let's take a look at today's papers, unsuprisingly brexit dominates many of the front pages. the daily telegraph reports that some mps in favour of another referendum, will publish draft legislation

to give voters a choice between theresa may's deal or staying in the eu. the main picture features the american model, gigi hadid at milan fashion week last night and above the masthead, former foreign secretary, borisjohnson says prepaing for a no deal means we are likely to get a good deal. meanwhile, the guardian reports that the eu is preparing to offer a delay to brexit if the prime minister loses the commons vote. ‘24 hours to save brexit‘ — leads the daily express — writing that mrs may is racing against the clock to get the support she needs. away from brexit, the big freeze that has "crippled europe" is set to bring travel chaos to britain claims the daily star. one of the most read stories on the bbc news website this morning reports that the brothers of england footballers marcus rashford and trent alexander—arnold were attacked during an armed robbery at a restaurant in manchester over the weekend. i thought they meant cornflakes or

the chocolate bar causing travel chaos! i thought the weather was not coming our way. isn't meant to go north or south? it is always good to check with our weather expert. hopefully chocolate flakes will be coming our way. that would be great for at first. we are talking about portion control. but let's talk about andy murray first. thank you. roger federer is they will lose andy murray. many players are making tributes at what looks like the end of this career. andy murray is only 31 roger federer is 37 and he continues. it does not train as much, roger, and it does not play as much. but andy murray has built himself in a different way, on grit, determination and physical strength

that requires a huge amount of punishment. and when he got to the world number one, he played it in so many events. that period probably tipped him over the edge. as i said, he is due on court this morning and we will keep you posted about what happens. it will be emotional, won't it? the answer to this question, do you get enough sleep? oh, how we laughed. we know that businesses are becoming concerned that people are not getting enough sleep and it impacts productivity. according to the financial times today where there is a will there is a way so there is a will there is a way so there is a big industry growing around sleep deprivation. in the united states, it is estimated the exhaustion economy is worth up to £40 billion. so pond see can rain, napping pillows, calming sprays and other items like that. lots of

papers are talking about portion control today. new guidelines are issued about portion sizes in an effort to combat the obesity crisis. they are setting out what you should eat. start the day with breakfast, to whip this gets and skimmed milk. —— to wheat biscuits. this is... dan, were you thinking about being judged this morning when you put food on your plate? that is a sausage food on your plate? that is a sausage casserole with baked apple. ata sausage casserole with baked apple. at a baked sausage casserole with baked apple. ata baked pudding. i sausage casserole with baked apple. at a baked pudding. i couldn't decide which pudding so i chose everything. we had a family gathering... and the strawberry? that is a powerful over and a

crumbled together. that is a powerful over and a crumbled togetherlj that is a powerful over and a crumbled together. i did not cook this. this is check on... surely you change that. be honest! did you add salad? i may have... i put the tomatoes on for colour. that is a chicken thigh with creamy pepper sauce. delicious. is that aid it or a small portion? do you want to see mine? a vegetarian lasagne with salad. are you both eating in restaurants? this is leftovers from the day before. i saw that meat is meant to be half the size of your hand. i'm quite thankful now to have large hands. i was in rome on holiday yesterday and it was

carbohydrate all fruit. — — holiday yesterday and it was carbohydrate all fruit. —— all the way through. digitiser coin in the fountain? idid. it way through. digitiser coin in the fountain? i did. it was interesting because you don't consider where the money goes. i was thinking... i went to see the pope, they are the same thing. the maintenance of the city is through the catholic church so arguably... welcome back from rome. later we will be talking about a story about people who did not get a seat on a plane. an artist whose vision deteriorated after lens replacement surgery is one of dozens of people considering legal action against the manufacturer, oculentis. denise de batista said she developed blind patches in one eye

after having lens replacement. the bbc has been told that there have been 800 cases of patients who received oculentis lenses experiencing ‘opacification', a clouding of the lens due to calcium deposits. our legal correspondent clive coleman reports. for this artist her vision is her life and her livelihood. in 2010 she had a routine eye operation to replace with a natural lenses and improve her site. a few years later, the vision in her right eye deteriorated.” started to see patches. there is no problem with black and white contrast that she does have a problem with colour and tone. this picture of her seas —— represents what she can see in lowlight with

her left eye, compared to the right eye. when she learned that the by an issue with the lens it was devastating. i was shocked. issue with the lens it was devastating. iwas shocked. my daughter—in—law said that i would ever so daughter—in—law said that i would ever so shocked. the lens is that she received were made by the european manufacturer oculentis. from 2009, reports emerged that a small number of patients were experiencing what is known as opacification, a missed in this caused by calcium deposits on some lenses. while this is a known risk with lens replacement, oculentis investigated and decided to recall unused stock of the type of lens that denise had. there is no suggestion that any currently available lenses are affected. this man isn't leading eye surgeon who has —— this man is a leading eye

surgeon has —— this man is a leading eye surgeon who has tried to help patients. there deposits of calcium on the service that only become evident a few years in when they accumulate and afterwards skewer vision. oculentis is paid for certain to replace the lens is concerned. it says half of all patients affected have had their lenses exchanged. cataract operations of the most common operations of the most common operation in the uk with hundreds of thousands of us having them every year. oculentis has withdrawn the affected batch of lenses but the problem is of opacification now have occurred in some 800 cases and that isa occurred in some 800 cases and that is a very small proportion, but it does represent just is a very small proportion, but it does representjust the ones the company knows about. in a statement, oculentis told the bbc that it regrets a ny oculentis told the bbc that it regrets any complications following implants and says opacification can be caused by a number of factors

interacting which are not necessarily attributable to the lens itself. the incidence rate is extremely low and can be effectively remedied through lens exchange surgery, a remedied through lens exchange surgery, a safe and well—established procedure. denise is nervous about having her lens replaced as the procedure is not routine and not all eye surgeons will do it. so the land and seascapes that she loves and paints are, for the moment, clouded and skewered and she is considering legal action. also on the programme today you will hear from also on the programme today you will hearfrom malala. we also have some of the stars from cold feet. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. a mother has died and a baby has

mild weekend it is set to get colder this weekend. not quite yet. it will feel chilly today, largely cloudy with a couple of sunny spells and the risk of a couple of showers a bit later. the wind is much less, still coming from the north—west and that could blow in a couple of showers for some later in the afternoon. sunny spells between and temperatures reaching 89 celsius. cold one the weekend are not as cold as it could be. overnight, and i will get someone to clear spells to start with then again cloud moves down from the north—west. and slightly milder air with that. minimum temperature between three and four celsius. as we head into tomorrow it will be a large fully dry day. temperatures in double figures for the next few days. ten, 11 celsius but wednesday, is the last mile day. the temperature will drop as we have through thursday and into the weekend. dry weather was a lot of cloud around a bit colder.

a life—threatening condition in hospital after being hit by a car in london. the woman, believed to be in her 20s, was pushing her son in his pram when the pair were struck in the penge area of bromley at around 8 o'clock last night. police say the driver, who has not been arrested, is helping with their inquiries. a british—iranian woman detained in tehran is due to begin a three—day hunger strike in protest against being denied specialist medical care. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is serving a five—year jail sentence after being accused of spying by the iranian authorities, a charge she strongly denies. the british government has repeatedly called for her release. the most polluting log burner and open fire fuels will be banned in england as part of a new clean air strategy to be published by the government today. the proposal also outlines plans to reduce ammonia emissions from farming and minimise pollution from the use of fertilisers. environmental campaigners have criticised the plans suggesting they lack detail. the government says it has set

a bold new goal to reduce particulates across much of the country by 2030. in the last few moments, zoe ball has become the first female presenter to take to the airwaves at the helm of bbc radio 2's flagship breakfast show. sounded like an old school bbc presenter, "a helm". —— "at the helm". zoe takes over europe's most popular radio programme from her predecessor chris evans, who regularly drew in more than 8 million daily listeners. she described her appointment as "an honour and a privilege" and said thinking about the show made her "tummy go giddy"! yeah! well done, zoe. good luck. she doesn't need it, she will be magnificent. i am looking forward to the days i am not on breakfast so i can listen to her. on the school run. i hope the alarm clock work for her. did you see her tweet last

night quite late, she went, "not sleeping yet". we know that feeling. we are looking forward to andy murray playing. he is on court after carl edmund, who is playing comments —— thomas carl edmund, who is playing comments — — thomas berdych carl edmund, who is playing comments —— thomas berdych now. carl edmund, who is playing comments -- thomas berdych now. we love carl edmund. he is getting walloped. we might see him on court soon. commentary is on radio 5 live sports extra after five o'clock. andy murray was very emotional on friday, when he admitted his hip injury would force him to retire after wimbledon, if not sooner. today's match at the australian open could be his last, as our sports correspondentjoe wilson reports. in melbourne andy murray warns us he has very little left. well, that's 0k. has very little left. well, that's ok. because he has given everything. he shared every emotion on court with some of the greatest men's players who have ever lived. the

fiercest rivals can also be close friends. that is the essence of sport, and that is why murray will be missed. it is sad notjust for me but for all of sport, because andy isa but for all of sport, because andy is a very respected and likeable guy and around the locker room, and he isa and around the locker room, and he is a great champion, he is a legend of the sport, without doubt. murray's decision to stop is also a reality check. an era where the best male players seem ageless can't go on for ever. i was disappointed and sad, a little bit shot, you know, to know now that we are going to lose him at some point, but we are going to lose everybody at some point —— shocked. it is just that now it is definite. while andy murray has lived in pain so long, he has had time to imagine the end, but until the last ball is struck in anger he admits he has zero motivation to do

anything different. we should mention the other six british players in action today, and there was a great win for katie boulter, who knocked out ekatarina makarova, but heather watson and harriet dart are out. kyle edmund and dan evans are on court right now, and cameron norrie plays later. it's now six wins from six for ole gunnar solskjaer as caretaker manager of manchester united, after they beat tottenham 1—0 at wembley. paul pogba put a superb pass through to marcus rashford — and that means solskjaer has made the most successful start as a united manager, beating sir matt busby‘s record. you expect to win every single game when you are at man united, that's what you do, but of course you won't, but you going to every game thinking, we should win this, and that's the mentality in the group today. we go there to win, we know we have to defend, we earn the right to win, but we have some fantastic skills and skilful players,

attributes. that is why we are at man united. tottenham manager mauricio pochettino says he's worried about harry kane, though. he had to be helped off the pitch after a last—minute tackle. he has a swollen ankle. in the day's other game, everton moved into the top half of the table with a 2—0 victory at home to bournemouth. in the women's super league, manchester city have moved to the top of the table for the first time this season after a 3—1win at west ham. nikita parris scored their third late on, becoming the first player in wsl history to score 40 goals. city move above arsenal, but they're only a point clear, and arsenal have a game in hand. saracens are into the quarter—finals of the european champions cup after a bonus—point win over lyon. they're still unbeaten in this season's competition and they scored four tries in france, ben spencer with the last of them in a 28—10 win. england have made a good start to netball‘s quad series — they beat new zealand 54—41 in their opening match in liverpool.

that equalled their best win over new zealand. england now take on south africa and then the world number one side australia in london next weekend, all part of their preparations for the world cup which takes place in liverpool injuly. what was really important tonight was the crowd. and i said to the girls, you know, if you want a feeling of winning you've got to do it in front of your own crowd. and thatis it in front of your own crowd. and that is something they tried to implement. the crowd was instrumental when we went a little bit flat in giving us energy, then you when to get us back into the game. this venue is absolutely ex— action authorised. —— exceptional for us. there was a big shock on the opening day of the masters snooker at alexandra palace mark allen, the reigning champion was knocked out by luca brecel. the match went to a decider but it was the belgian who came through to win by six frames to five. we will keep you posted on what's happening in australia at the australian open with andy murray

through the morning. he should be on after kyle edmund. you can listen to it after seven o'clock on bbc radio 5 live. don't go anywhere. meet? laughter. thank you very much. -- me? it is a momentuous week in westminster as mps prepare to vote on theresa may's brexit deal. it's widely expected they will reject it, but if that happens what are the options? later on we will speak with liam fox, who supports it, at esther mcvey, who is against it. the default is that the uk will leave the eu without a deal on 29th march, but that's not very popular in parliament. so the government could propose to renegotiate, this could take some time and require an extension of article 50 to delay brexit. alternatively, theresa may could decide to hold an early general election. labour has said it would call for a formal vote of no confidence in the government if the deal doesn't pass, or the government could instead choose to have another referendum. in other words, ask all of us again what we think. well, the labour mp chuka umunna is a supporter of this last option

and we can speak to him now. good morning to you. thank you very much forjoining us. we are speaking with various people today. let's start at the beginning. we know that there is a crucial vote tomorrow. you are going to vote against theresa may's deal? i will vote against the deal. a lot of people have talked about it posing a problem for the integrity of the united kingdom, especially the irish border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, but it will harm the economy, the prime minister herself has admitted that essentially it will make us poorer by giving us less market access and that will be bad for my constituents, so i will vote against. theresa may, you will be aware, as will viewers, talking about a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in democracy if mps reject this deal.” think that has already happened. if you look at the list of promises that were made originally, the £350

million extra per week for the nhs, the idea that we get the economic benefits of the eu club without paying the subscription fee, or abiding by the rules, the promises made that we would have the trade deals in place with other countries, none of that has happened, there has already been the catastrophic breach of trust. that is the problem for parliament. brexit in the form that it was promised to the british people has proved completely impossible to deliver. and that is why you see this gridlock in westminster right now. all i can say to viewers is, i am sorry. u nfortu nately to viewers is, i am sorry. unfortunately our politics is broken. in part it is because our country is still divided on this issue. in some way we have to find a way through the impasse. we have talked about this many times before. the people did vote to leave. they voted. why, then, would then have to be in your view another vote? well, the debate that we had before, which

was now three years ago, was about what hypothetically would happen if we voted to leave the european union. but the question was clear on the paper, wasn't it? it was an hypothetical. that is right, it was clear, but what was hypothetical was what would flow from that, and how you leave the european union. that wasn't actually put to the british people. so they were not asked, do you want to leave, but you won't get your £350 million extra per week for the nhs, you are not going to get market access, they were not put to people. now we know. so this is really what we are proposing, to refer the issue of what we do on how we leave the european union back to the people, because parliament cannot agree on this. i think people would have a different view on this if parliament could agree, but parliament can't agree. louise, i think what you're getting at is the age old claim of thwarting the will

of the people, i don't think you can do that if they are the ultimate arbiters over what happens. let's not forget importantly that there are2 not forget importantly that there are 2 million young people who will be affected by this for longer and a greater extent than most of the rest of us who haven't had a say on this yet, but who can now vote. it is incredibly important that we don't say to the younger generations in the country, we are going to exclude you from making at a decision in the country that will affect you more than any other group. you talk about parliament agreeing, as it stands, parliament agreeing, as it stands, parliament wouldn't be able to agree what you are proposing either. well, this is a real challenge, and i will tell you one thing that parliament can agree on, louise, that we shouldn't leave the european union without a deal, and i think increasingly it is appearing... we are going to have to get an extension to the article 50 process, because we have less than 40 sitting daysin because we have less than 40 sitting days in westminster to get through the legislation that we need to get

through. to put it in context, that is 800 to 100,000 pieces, and eight bills before the 29th of march, so there is no way we will be able to do that. and the european union is clear that they will not grant an extension to the article 50 process for more renegotiation, however if we wa nt for more renegotiation, however if we want a democratic vote to resolve this issue, then they will grant us the time. so in many respects having people's vote helps to avoid an no deal. what happens briefly if you get your way and there was another vote, and you didn't like the result, what, you would implement it this time? i think you would have to get on with it and do it. look, i am not presuming anything here. this is a way not presuming anything here. this is awayi not presuming anything here. this is a way i think we can proceed. there are others who object to what the prime minister is proposing, but have no alternative plan. no plan on how we resolve this. the truth of the matter is, louise, to those who

say, let's get it done, we are fed up say, let's get it done, we are fed up of switching on bbc breakfast where we want to hear about andy murray and we are hearing about grexit all of the time, the problem is even if theresa may's deal were to pass tomorrow, we are going to end up with 34 years more negotiation on what the future trading relationship with the european union will be —— brexit. i am sorry. i wish i could say we would be rid of this. we will be saddled with it for some time yet. chuka umunna, thank you very much for your time. i imagine chuka umunna, thank you very much foryourtime. i imagine we chuka umunna, thank you very much for your time. i imagine we will speak again. andy murray is still not yet on court, we will keep you up—to—date on his match—winning against. you up—to—date on his match—winning against. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. a chilly start for some of us this

morning with snow showers across scotla nd morning with snow showers across scotland for this week starting from cooler now and then it turns mild and then it will turn cold once again. what we have this morning is again. what we have this morning is a lot of cloud across england and wales vertebrates and sunshine ‘s will come through. there is also a north—westerly wind and down the east coast of england as well. for northern ireland scotland will have a cloudy day but the cloud breaks in the east with brighter skies are showers we have at the moment in the northern isles will tend to fade and then a weather front comes in from then a weather front comes in from the west and that will introduce cloud and some patchy rain and drizzle. temperatures down on where they were yesterday that some of us will still see double figures it is we had an previous period a weather front continues to drift in from the web in this weather front is waving, literally it is waving and at times the rain will be heavy. more cloud around tonight, it will be breezy

temperatures will not be as low as the nightjust gone for some that not anticipating any problems frost. as we start the day tomorrow, here is our waiting weather front. you can see it does not move anywhere quickly and remains in the north of scotland. it will be a breezy day. the rainfall totals continuing to mount up across the highlands. move away from their into southern scotland, northern ireland, england and we all so we chase the breaks in the cloud and the temperatures are up the cloud and the temperatures are up on today. more ever seen double—figure temperatures did tuesday and wednesday morning, that weather front moves away but then we have a cold front coming south and you can see how the air is colder on snow in the chart. as well as the rain in scotland we will have some snow but the snow with a hill and

mountain feature. meanwhile the front trundles down to the south—east taking its increasingly light rain with it as it does so and behind it we are looking at sunny spells developing with just a few showers. that is how it looks for now. thank you so much and we will see with 30 minutes. restaurant chains and pubs that serve food saw a 3% rise in sales during 2018. this is despite some big name eateries having to close outlets. so what's going on? nina's taking a look. yes, you'd have thought from the headlines that 2018 would be a year that many restaurant chains would prefer to forget. closures were announced from the likes of prezzo, carluccios and byron. but according to figures out this morning, sales in the sector as a whole grew by over 3% last year and the big pub groups which sell foods, the likes of harvester and brewers fayre, did even better. sales here grew by over 4% over the year.

so what's going on? karl chessell is director of cga who are experts in the out—of—home food & drink market. last year we saw the casual dining crunch and we thought places like prezzo and jamie is losing a third of outlets to get these figures seem to fly in the face of what is happening? fundamentally, the market is uneven and some parts have had challenges. you are right in terms of casual dining, there has been a correction after a number of years of growth. looking at the market as a whole and in my company we take data from 50 of the largest publicly managed customers —— restaurants. there is £9.5 billion of turnover within that cohort. collectively they have grown by about 3.4%. it is worth mentioning that within that growth there aren't many new openings and like for likes are a bit more motors —— there are many

openings. like for likes a bit more modest. so you could get a meal for afamily of modest. so you could get a meal for a family of four 415 quid. is that is what behind it? people are looking for more value? when consumers look at value they are focused on quality rather than price. we see many people trading up. items like jehan, price. we see many people trading up. items likejehan, they have grown a lot in terms of volume but we measure value grown a lot in terms of volume but we measure value and volume and instead of going for a standard gin people are choosing an artisan or premium gin. that is true for all categories. that is interesting. drinking less but drinking better quality. it is interesting in general that we know that consumer confidence is lower because of the political environment at the moment and you cannot ignore what is happening this week. in the weeks and months going forward, how do you think the hospitality industry will fare? i think it will set well.

there are challenges, the whole market will not necessarily have a great 2019 but generally it will fa re great 2019 but generally it will fare well. in 2018, pubs had a phenomenal year. like—for—like fare well. in 2018, pubs had a phenomenalyear. like—for—like for that cohort was up over 1%. the world cup, hot summer and strong december assisted. there is cautious optimism. that is great compared to what is happening in high street. it is interesting to see that people are choosing to spend money on going out with a family rather than purchasing stuff. in her short 21 years, malala yousafzai has become a household name. as the world's youngest recipient of the nobel peace prize, she's faced huge adversity along the way, including being shot by the taliban in 2012 for campaigning for girls' right to education. she has now written a book in which she shares the stories of other young girls who have been forced from their homes. our arts correspondent rebecca jones went to meet her. i have met many refugee girls

in my trips around the world, i have been to refugee camps and informal settlements and i've heard these inspiring stories from these refugee girls but on the other hand, i hear in the news different stories about refugees, numbers and figures. we hear about refugees and immigrants but we never hear from them, especially young women and girls. you know what it's like to be displaced, you were shot by the taliban in 2012 for speaking out about girls' education, you were brought to birmingham for treatment and you've been in the uk ever since. can you give us a sense of how difficult it was to adjust to life in a different country? in school, talking to friends, i found it so difficult. they would laugh at slightly differentjokes than i would, and when they would say something, they wouldn't laugh. it's the cultural differences. i would say, like, sometimes you would be quiet, sometimes you would pick up a book and pretend you are reading. you are just finding it difficult

to have a conversation and now it's completely different. i made lots of friends and i am proudly brummie as well but it's different at the start what does brummie proudly entail? i am proud of birmingham, i love the city, it's a welcoming, diverse place and a lucky accent and a love the people of birmingham and i call myself brummie. your foundation, campaigning for girls education and juggling your own education. you are at your second year in oxford university. how do you fit it all in? it is a lot of work but i'm studying at ppe at lmh in oxford. which is politics, philosophy and economics. yes, and i'm enjoying it. you are not a machine, though. you must switch off, how do you relax? do you watch tv? yes, we do watch tv programmes.

i recently watched the good place and also some comedy shows. i recently watched the black adder. i'm a big fan of british comedy. i recently watched yes, minister. and also mind your language. that does go back a long way. ah yes, a very long way. i find it funny. i know it would not be welcomed in the same way but i find it very funny. in terms of your university room, you keep your room tidy? i try my best. when my mum comes to the university and sees my room, she tell me to make it tidier. thank you so much. it's been lovely to talk to you. malala's book is called,'we

are displaced: my journey and stories from refugee girls around the world'. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. a mother has died and a baby has been left with life—threatening injuries after they were hit by a car in south london. the vehicle struck the woman on croydon road in penge just after 8 last night. the driver of the car, stopped at the scene and was taken to hospital. he's not been arrested. bbc london has found people in bethnal green and wapping who say they're so fed up with a lack of police on their streets they're taking matters into their own hands. they gather evidence using a social media app and have started crowd funding to pay for private security officers. theyjust do it in front of you. the police need to be

here and witness this. they could easily take these guys off the street but you do not see the police go by in a car or on foot. it is sad that this has become the norm. tower hamlets council says it's working with police and investing in cctv. you can watch the full report on inside out london, this evening at 7.30 on bbc one. a complaint has been lodged to kensington and chelsea council against robbie williams after he reportedly blasted his neighbour, led zeppelin's jimmy page, with heavy metal music. the two fell out over robbie williams' plans to build a swimming pool at his home in holland park. mr page is said to have been blasted with black sabbath as well as pink floyd. mr williams denies the claims. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning

elsewhere, the woolwich ferry still has no service. it was supposed to be running again on the 1st of january — but it's delayed. noidea no idea of when it will be working again and that means there is a knock—on effect for the blackpool tunnel. and in notting hill, there are temporary traffic lights at notting hill gate near the tube station, due to a gas leak. now the weather with kate. good morning. after a relatively mild weekend it is set to get colder this weekend. not quite yet. it will feel chilly today, largely cloudy with a couple of sunny spells and the risk of a couple of showers a bit later. the wind is much less, still coming from the north—west and that could blow in a couple of showers for some later in the afternoon. sunny spells between and temperatures reaching 89 —— 8 or 9 celsius.

cold on the weekend but not as cold as it could be. overnight, and some clear spells to start with then again cloud moves down from the north—west. and slightly milder air with that. minimum temperature between three and four celsius. as we head into tomorrow it will be a large fully dry day. temperatures in double figures for the next few days. ten, 11 celsius but wednesday, is the last mile day. the temperature will drop as we head through thursday and into the weekend. dry weather was a lot of cloud around a bit colder. that is it for now. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: "back my deal or risk no brexit." theresa may makes a last ditch attempt to persuade mps to back her plan just one day before the crucial common's vote. we're waiting for a moment in tennis history,

as andy murray is preparing to go on court this morning in australia. it might be the last time we see him play in a competitive match. heavy snow claims more lives in the alps, as parts of europe grapple with the worst winter weather for decades. and why hands beat scales when it comes to measuring how much you should eat. good morning. the pressure's been piling on the high street and the fashion sportswear retailerjd sports is about to update the city on how its done over christmas. i'll have all the details shortly. good morning. today across england and wales it is fairly cloudy with bright spells developing and a few showers. northern ireland, cloudy. brightest in the east with wintry showers in the north at the moment. i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's monday, the 14th of january. our top story: what's billed to be an extraordinary week in politics begins with a stark warning from theresa may.

she will tell brexiteers that if they don't back her deal then parliament could stop the uk leaving the eu altogether. there's just a day to go before mps vote on her plan, but there's little sign the prime minister has the support she needs. so, how could the week unfold? debate on the deal mrs may has agreed with the eu, continues today and mps will vote on whether to accept it in the house of commons tomorrow evening. if, as expected, mps reject the deal, ministers have until next monday to come back to parliament with an alternative plan. but the clock is ticking down to the 29th march, the day the uk formally exits the european union, which is just 11 weeks away, as our chief political correspondent vicky young reports. theresa may is running out of time to persuade mps to back her deal. today, she'll travel to stoke—on—trent, one of the strongest leave areas in the country, to make a final pitch. she'll tell them that parliament is more likely to block brexit than allow britain to leave

the eu without a deal, so mps who've promised to respect the referendum result should get behind her plan. it was an argument used by the brexit secretary, too. the uncertainty in terms of what will happen in the house has increased, and so those on the brexiteer side seeking ideological purity with the deal are risking brexit. four brexit—supporting conservative mps have announced they will now back the prime minister's plan, even though they're unhappy with some elements of it. so, what's in the withdrawal agreement theresa may has negotiated with the eu? it includes a divorce bill of around £39 billion. it outlines what happens to uk citizens living elsewhere in the eu, and eu citizens who have settled here. it also lays out how to avoid the return of a physical border between northern ireland and ireland, the so—called backstop. will you win a confidence vote? the labour leader says his party won't vote for that plan, but he's not keen on another

referendum either. 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. prospects are looking bleak for theresa may, but unless mps can decide what they want instead of her deal, she can keep pushing her plan. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. we can speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley. i suppose it is hard to find many who suggest she might have a chance of winning this, nick. yes, almost impossible to find anyone around westminster who predicts that the prime minister will get the deal through tomorrow. she is not giving

up through tomorrow. she is not giving up yet as we have seen many times with theresa may. she keeps going, she is making the argument for the deal. she will do that this morning by making the case that no brexit is now more likely than no deal. that isa now more likely than no deal. that is a pitch to her own party, to brexiteers to say, if you vote this down, you risk us not leaving the eu at all. she will also be back in the commons we expect this afternoon with some reassurance from the european union on the most controversial aspect of her deal, the irish backstop, the idea there is that there will be some assurance on the temporary nature of that, but there are very few people as i say it westminster who are predicting a theresa may victory. the question thenis theresa may victory. the question then is whether there is something else that mps can get behind. nick, thank you very much for that, speak to you later on. something else that is going to happen today:

andy murray is due on court in around an hour's time for what could be his last ever tennis match. it's day one of the australian open, where he'll be playing roberto bautista agut. yes, we saw the very emotional press conference overnight on friday morning. he has been struggling with a hip injury. time. he has tried everything he can to fix it, including surgery. unfortunately, he needs more surgery including surgery. unfortunately, he needs more surgery and it is still not great. i am assuming a little bit here, but i think he is in co nsta nt bit here, but i think he is in constant pain with it and when he plays it makes it worse. he has batted his body. he is on court this morning in australia. we are waiting for kyle edman, in the studio when i came in, he was getting totally walloped by tomas berdych. phil mercer is in melbourne for us this morning. hi to you, phil. i imagine anticipation is building over what

could be andy murray's last ever competitive match. yes, it could be the beginning of the end. andy murray is preparing to take on a spanish player he has beaten in their three previous meetings, and of course andy murray will also be battling against the chronic hip injury that has plagued him for so long. he had surgery last year and he has worked tirelessly in the last few months, to try to be competitive here at the australian open. andy murray doesn't think he will win tonight. we have been speaking with british fans in melbourne to ask what plaything. they hope that he can bring his fighting qualities which have won him three grand slam titles in the past. but most people understand it is the beginning of the m4 andy murray. let's not hope it is his last match —— the beginning of the end for andy murray. somehow he can have his final farewell at wimbledon late in the year. the prospects for andy murray are not necessarily great,

given that he has that horrible hip injury. phil, lovely to talk to you. thank you very much indeed. that was phil mercer live in melbourne. he mentioned what might happen in wimbledon. he might not be able to play a competitive game. will they have a ceremonial match? will he play doubles with his brother, perhaps? all of these things are options for him, but we won't know until we see him play this morning. it could happen any time. live commentary on bbc radio 5 live sports extra. thank you. we will be back with plenty more through the morning. at least five people have been killed by unusually heavy snow in the austrian alps this weekend. there have been more than 20 weather related deaths across parts of europe so far this month, with record snowfall in some areas. bethany bell is in annaberg for us this morning. and we can see, i mean, this locating is — tell us how difficult they are finding this. —— i mean the snow continues. it is continuing. it

has been snowing heavily all light and the authorities are really struggling to try to keep the roads clear. there have been bulldozers out from the very early hours of this morning trying to sweep the roads clear. then also there is the question of snow building up on roofs of houses, because you can imagine how heavy three or four metres worth of snow is, and especially if it is wet snow. and they have to get that off the ruse in order to make sure that the roofs don't cave in. and of course all of this weather has been taking its toll. we have the deaths of three skiiers who were found yesterday buried in snow in the ski resort of lechin buried in snow in the ski resort of lech in western austria. and a fourth person is still missing. 0k, bethany, thank you very much. we can see the snow is continuing. thank you. a mother has died and her 8—month—old baby is in a life—threatening condition in hospital after being hit by a car in london. the woman, believed to be in her 20s, was pushing her son

in his pram, when the pair were struck in the penge area of bromley at around 8 o'clock last night. police say the driver, who has not been arrested, is helping with their inquires. two men have died in separate falls in the mourne mountains in northern ireland. the fatal incidents occurred within an hour of each other yesterday afternoon. a third man was also rescued after suffering a suspected broken ankle. walkers have described poor conditions on the mountains, with high winds and fog. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who is in prision in tehran, is due to begin a three—day hunger strike in protest against being denied specialist medical care. she is serving a five—yearjail sentence after being accused of spying by the iranian authorities, a charge she strongly denies. the british government has repeatedly called for her release. an unholy row has broken out in italy between the roman catholic church and the mayor of rome, over what should happen to coins retrieved from the capital's famous trevi fountain. throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain, the legend says, and you will one day return to the eternal city. around £1.3 million in small

change is scooped out each year and given to a catholic charity that helps the poor. following a council ruling, the mayor will take control of the funds to help maintain the city's cultural assets. now, from one early morning programme to another. the alarm bell is very important. in the last half an hour, zoe ball has started her first radio 2 breakfast show. she takes over from chris evans, and played respect by aretha franklin as her opening track. let's hear how she opened the show. hello, my name is zoe. good morning, radio two. and relax after buildup

after a ll radio two. and relax after buildup after all of the chat and preamble. the big day is finally here. we are so the big day is finally here. we are so excited. the prog squad team are ready. the batteries are in the radio. she is ready. so, the first record, what is it going to be?m was respect by aretha franklin.” can't imagine taking on the job like that. she doesn't need good luck. i look forward to listening when i am not here on breakfast. the clock is ticking for theresa may to persuade mps to back her brexit deal before it goes before parliament tomorrow. later today, the prime minister will warn that trust in politics will suffer catastrophic harm if the referendum result is not implemented. we're joined now by conservative mp esther mcvey, who resigned as work and pensions secretary in november over brexit. good morning to you. thank you very much for spending some time with us this morning. so, we will ask you

the same question we asked chuck a —— umuna, which way will you vote tomorrow? i will be voting against the deal, as most people were going to do before christmas. nothing has changed with the deal. so i will be voting against it, because it is not delivering brexit. so does that mean if may doesn't win the vote and you rightly say most people are predicting she has very little chance of winning this, that we are heading for a no deal? well, what you are heading for is what parliament voted for when they started article 50, that is we are leaving on the 29th of march, and the default position was always no deal. what we have always said is we wa nt deal. what we have always said is we want a good deal. we want a free trade agreement. with this withdrawal deal we haven't got that. we have this infamous backstop which doesn't work. we are spending £39 billion and not getting a future

trade agreement. so it is universally being decried as a poor deal. so what we would like the prime minister to do if she loses the vote is go back to the eu, state parliament doesn't want it, the people don't want it, we need a better deal. we are paying nearly £40 billion, we have to make it work for both sides. let's get a better deal. that is what we are going for. and if not we will be leaving on what's node as world trade organisation rules. people call it no deal. actually we are part of wto. no country in the world trade is alone on wto rules. if you didn't hear that, no—one in the world does that. what they work on is that and decided agreements, and some of those side agreements, things like the fierce stories, can poorly have those licences, fierce stories, and roaming charges, well, we have those in place. the civil service have

been working incredibly hard on no deal planning and preparation, so much of the fierce —— fear stories don't exist so we have to calmly look at what will happen on world trade organisation rules. the £39 billion that we won't be heading to europe is how to make it work for our citizens, businesses, so we make a smooth transition. how do we have a smooth transition. how do we have a situation that works for both sides, and an implementation period for a no deal, and that is what we have to do. it is about calm preparations that are being done and explaining it clearly to the public what will happen and how we support it. you say, esther mcvey, scare stories. the health secretary matt hancock says no deal, medical drug companies expect six or significantly reduced access across europe. business leaders have voiced concerns. amazon uk chief said civil u nrest concerns. amazon uk chief said civil unrest within weeks if we leave the

eu without a trade deal in place. the nfu president has said a no deal scenario would be catastrophic for agriculture. john major spoke about it. your chancellor said no deal would be bad for britain. these are not scare stories. these are legitimate voices saying what we face if there is a no deal. some of those stories that they have spoken about have been overcome. we have licences in place for medicines to continue going to end three. we also know that because we will be in charge of the borders, things will be imported into the country because we are in charge. those stories you talk about, be itjohn major, hancock all the chancellor, they are arch remain as. they want to turn around the votes of the people. what happened was parliament, the house of lords told the people to have their say. the people had their say

and said they wanted to leave. now it is up to politicians and civil serva nts to it is up to politicians and civil servants to get that searle said. and as the some of those things you spoke about, we have or are you got those sorted. what pressure are you and is coming under this —— others coming under? another sort of project feared. were being told that we do not votes of the deal there be no brexit. before we were told there would be no deal... we need to take away the sideshow of what people are saying at the edges and look at what is in law. and what is in law is that we will leave on march 29. therefore it is incumbent on every one to make this work. prime minister, if your deal is voted down on tuesday go back to the eu and get a better deal. if not, let the public know about the preparations,

let them know about the wto rules and deliver the brexit that people have asked you for. we heard about the calamitous things that happened at the ports... we had the ceo of calais come forward and say that it is not true. they have been preparing for a year so they can do that. we heard the ceo of customs say that the scare stories are not true, we will make sure that we have the flow imports and exports happening. there have been significant preparations. that is what needs to be focused on. what do we need, how do we get the right deal and how do we live up to the vote of the british public? this is about trust, not only on politicians but trusting what the people voted for and confidence in the uk for what we can deliver when we leave the eu we will be the fifth largest

economy. we will take our place in the world trade organisations of which we are already a member and we will go forward confidently in that position. you are speaking quite boldly. could you give us and our view is an idea, if today you were to see theresa may what is your relationship like between theresa may and mps in your position today in the buildup to the vote tomorrow? are you avoiding contact or are you having conversations with the prime minister? certainly not eyes down. what we all want to see and the prime minister wants to see is the best deal. there are an array of options. it's a binary, it is not this or that. if parliament rejects the deal and they have already said they would, she needs to return to they would, she needs to return to the eu, using the tools she has at her disposal from the 39 billion,

money that we do not have backed here. we want £1 billion for the police and we do not have it because we provide £39 billion to the eu. she needs to realise how much of that money is and she has to then say let's have a better deal. get rid of the backstop. the eu supposedly don't want the backstop and neither does the uk and that is what we need to get rid of. we need a better trade deal. if you force through this vote, if you force through this vote, if you force through this vote this will breach our confidence and supply deal with the dup. we will lose our partners and it is a surefire way of actually making sure we do not have a functioning government. the best thing that people can do is to vote down this poor withdrawal build.- let you know, we will speak to the international

trade secretary who has a different opinion as well stick your current tellers about the snowfall in europe. has been an enormous amount of snowfall across parts of scandinavia, germany as you can see here, as will as austria, switzerland and we are looking at the of the snow. look at this in germany. shed loads. this picture shows an avalanche that went into a hotel in switzerland and the locals say that it was about 300 metres wide, that particular avalanche. austria has seen a lot of snowfall. some parts up to three metres. it is about ten feet. according to the austrian weather bureau, for areas above 800 metres altitude, that is unusual. it is a once in every 30 year event. the met service still

has a red danger warning out for snow and that will ease off a touch tomorrow. having said that, there is more slow to come as we go through this week. for the uk we have showers around cheshire in the merseyside, coming down the coast. they will ease in the showers in the east will be on and off. for northern ireland and scotla nd and off. for northern ireland and scotland there is a lot of cloud. cha in northern ireland and more scotland there is a lot of cloud. chain northern ireland and more in scotland, wintry in the northern isles. babel failed —— theda nansen rain will come in. —— they will fade. and then some rain will come in. as we head on through the evening and overnight we are once again looking at as fair bit of cloud. a weather front across the north of scotland, a waiting front and literally it is doing that. it is not moving far but it will

produce a lot of raid. over the next few days, the rainfall totals will start to mount across the north of scotland. you can see it here tomorrow. also tomorrow we are looking at a breezy day. so tomorrow we have the rain in the north. still some cloud across the rest of the uk. it will break in part and we will see some bright sunny skies develop. temperature will be up on what we look at today's so more of us seeing double figures. as we have gone from tuesday into wednesday that weather front clears off and is replaced by a cold front thinking south. behind that we start to pull in quelled it. went there has been a breezy day. here is the weather front and the cold front thinking south, taking patchy rain with it. behind it we see some rain and also some snow but the snow in scotland and northern england will be a hill and northern england will be a hill and mountain feature. by then behind the cold front bit average will be coming down for the rest of us and

staying just in double to give. for keeping as up—to—date over what is happening in europe. we're talking about portion control today. the british nutrition foundation is launching a practical guide into how do you know a proper portion. this is how much meat you should have. half the size of your hand. and clearly you can have more than me. and spaghetti, you make a circle with your fingers and spaghetti, you make a circle with yourfingers on and spaghetti, you make a circle with your fingers on the size of a pound coin, that is a spaghetti serve for one person. and that is presumably uncorked ? serve for one person. and that is presumably uncorked? we will discuss this in about 20 minutes time but what we have been made to do is send in what we ate last night. dan has been cheating. —— uncooked. this was sausage casserole with a bit of putting. i also decided to go for

both pavlova and crumbled. this is what i had. a chicken thigh with red peppers. that looks incredibly healthy. this is sally. as though the vegetarian lasagne and. we both added tomatoes for added colour and drama. someone admitted to us earlier that she was in rome yesterday and opted for triple carbohydrates. clearly enjoying herself there. that's what happens, isn't it? we will be discussing bad and the idea is that we just reduced our portion size and that would help all of us. food is also nice. we do know you are a big fan of food. you can be careful about what you eat.

we will speak later to a nutritionist. i go running so i can have a curry and a cake. and you are very tall so you do need the extra calories. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm asad ahmad. a mother has died and a baby has been left with life—threatening injuries after they were hit by a car in south london. the vehicle struck the woman on croydon road in penge — just after 8 last night. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm asad ahmad. a mother has died and a baby has been left with life—threatening injuries after they were hit by a car in south london. the vehicle struck the woman on croydon road in penge — just after 8 last night. the driver of the car, stopped at the scene and was taken to hospital. he's not been arrested. bbc london has found people in bethnal green and wapping who say they're so fed up with a lack of police on their streets

they're taking matters into their own hands. they gather evidence using a social media app and have started crowd funding to pay for private security officers. theyjust do it in front of you. the police need to be here and witness this. they could easily take these guys off the street but you do not see the police go by in a car or on foot. it is sad that this has become the norm. tower hamlets council says it's working with police and investing in cctv. you can watch the full report on inside out london, this evening at 7.30 on bbc one. a complaint has been lodged to kensington and chelsea council against robbie williams after he reportedly blasted his neighbour, led zeppelin's jimmy page, with heavy metal music. the two fell out over robbie williams' plans to build a swimming pool at his home in holland park. mr page — is said to have been blasted with black sabbath — as well as pink floyd. mr williams denies the claims. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service

on the tubes this morning, apart from the district line. eelsewhere, the woolwich ferry — still has no service. it was supposed to be running again on the 1st of january — but it's delayed. and in notting hill, there are temporary traffic lights at notting hill gate near the tube station, due to a gas leak. and the m40 coming into town is down to one lane atj1 because of an overturned lorry. now the weather with kate. good morning. after a relatively mild weekend it is set to get colder this weekend. not quite yet. it will feel chilly today, largely cloudy with a couple of sunny spells and the risk of a couple of showers a bit later. the wind is much less, still coming from the north—west and that could blow in a couple of showers for some later in the afternoon. sunny spells between and temperatures reaching 8 or 9 celsius. cooler than the weekend but not as cold as it could be.

overnight, and some lengthy clear spells to start with then again cloud moves down from the north—west. and slightly milder air with that. minimum temperature between three and four celsius. as we head into tomorrow it will be a large fully dry day. temperatures in double figures for the next few days. ten, 11 celsius but wednesday, is the last mile day. the temperature will drop as we head through thursday and into the weekend. dry weather with a lot of cloud around a bit colder. that is it for now. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the prime minister will make a last—ditch attempt to persuade mps to back her brexit plan before the crucial vote in the commons. ministers will issue a stark warning

that if they don't support her, parliament could stop the uk leaving the eu altogether. mps are expected to reject her deal. esther mcvey said the uk is prepared for a no—deal brexit. said the uk is prepared for a no-deal brexit. we've got the licence is in place so that medicines can come to and from, we also know that because we will be in charge of borders, things will be imported into the country because we are in charge of that. those stories that you are talking about, whether it isjohn that you are talking about, whether it is john major, that you are talking about, whether it isjohn major, matt hancock, the chancellor, they are remainers, they voted to remain, and they are wanting to turn around the vote of the people. what happened was parliament, the house of lords, said, let the people have a say. people have had a say and they said that they want to leave the eu. it is up to politicians, civil servants, all of us to get that sorted. at least five people have been killed by unusually heavy snow in the alps this weekend. two workers at a french ski resort

died as they were trying to use explosives to trigger controlled avalanches. in austria, three german tourists were killed by an avalanche and a fourth person is still missing. there's been at least 24 weather—related deaths in europe this month. two men have died in separate falls in the mourne mountains in northern ireland. the fatal incidents occurred within an hour of each other yesterday afternoon. a third man was also rescued after suffering a suspected broken ankle. walkers have described poor conditions on the mountains, with high winds and fog. a mother has died and her 8—month—old baby is in a life—threatening condition in hospital after being hit by a car in london. the woman, believed to be in her 20s, was pushing her son in his pram when the pair were struck in the penge area of bromley at around 8 o'clock last night. police say the driver, who has not been arrested, is helping with their inquires. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe who is in prision in tehran is due to begin a three—day hunger strike in protest against being denied specialist medical care.

she is serving a five—yearjail sentence after being accused of spying by the iranian authorities, a charge she strongly denies. the british government has repeatedly called for her release. the police commander at the hillsborough disaster, david duckenfield, will go on trial today charged with the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. 96 people were killed as a result of crushing on overcrowded terraces at the sheffield ground in 1989. one man, tony bland, died four years afterwards, and is therefore not included in the prosecution. liverpool were playing nottingham forest in an fa cup semi final. cup semi—final. the trial is expected to last for at least three months. the most polluting log burner and open fire fuels will be banned as part of an ambitious new clean air strategy to be published by the government today. the proposal also outlines plans to reduce ammonia emissions from farming and minimise pollution from the use of fertilisers. environmental campaigners say the ideas lack detail. our environment analyst roger harrabin reports.

in britain's big cities, the air people breathe is often toxic. this haze is caused by tiny airborne particles. it's bad news for people with lung problems. you can taste diesel fumes, particularly, you can feel this bitter taste in your mouth. i've even had my sons say this, when they've been out cycling. and it just makes you very, very tired. whereas when you're out of a polluted area, you have a lot more energy. in the court case over 9—year—old asthma victim ella kissi—debrah, it's alleged that pollution from london's south circular road actually contributed to her death. the government has already taken some action on cars, although environmentalists say not enough. farmers are under the spotlight now. ammonia gas released from fertilisers drifts into cities and harms health. new rules will curb the pollution. home heating produces tiny sooty particles. only the cleanest woodburning stoves

will be sold in future. and councils will have new powers to curb pollution from home fires. but even domestic products cause pollution, too — new furniture, toiletries, air fresheners can all irritate the lungs. ministers want people to do their bit to reduce the risk. environmentalists want ministers to do more. roger harrabin, bbc news. around 100 people gathered at a tokyo shrine yesterday to purify their souls and wish for good health in the new year ahead. barely dressed to bear the cold, they came together for the annual ritual which is in its 64th year. i don't know how cold it was, though. oh, it does look cold! look at that fellow in the middle, he is just totally at ease.

the shinto event is usually held on the second sunday, and participants exchange new year's greetings. it is very good for you, immersing yourself in cold water. is that a block of ice? it wasn't cold enough already. "how long do i have to hold this for?" it is meant to be good for you. it shocks you. is it, "if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger"? i will tell you someone who has done plenty of ice baths... plenty of ice baths. i can tell you that kyle edman has been knocked out by thomas berdych. andy murray is due on court quite soon in australia. we saw him on friday in the emotional press conference. he admitted his hip injury would force him to retire

after wimbledon, if not sooner. today's match at the australian open could be his last, as our sports correspondentjoe wilson reports. in melbourne, andy murray warns us he has very little left. well, that's ok, because he's given everything. he shared every emotion on court with some of the greatest men's players who have ever lived. the fiercest rivals can also be close friends. that's the essence of sport, and that is why murray will be missed. it's sad notjust for me, but for all of sport, because andy is a very respected and likeable guy around the locker room, and he's a great champion, he's a legend of the sport, without doubt. murray's decision to stop is also a reality check. an era when the best male players seemed ageless can't go on for ever. i was disappointed and sad, a little bit shocked, you know, to know now that we are

going to lose him at some point, but we are going to lose everybody at some point. so it's just that now it's definite. while andy murray has lived in pain so long, he's had time to imagine the end, but, until the last ball is struck in anger, he admits he has zero motivation to do anything different. joe wilson, bbc news. that wasn't andy murray with zero motivation, that was him just staying in the shade. yes, exactly. kyle edmund took over from murray as british number one and he reached the semi—finals in australia last year but he's really struggling in his first—round match. he has lost to thomas berdych. he has just lost in straight sets. but dan evans is through to the second round after a straight sets win over japan's tatsuma ito, and he'll be meeting none other than roger federer next, if federer gets past denis istomin. and there was a great win for katie boulter,

who knocked out ekatarina makarova, but heather watson and harriet dart are out. cameron norrie plays later. now, i mentioned the football, didn't i? it's now six wins from six for ole gunnar solskjaer as caretaker manager of manchester united, after they beat tottenham 1—0 at wembley. the goal came from marcus rashford, after a superb pass from paul pogba. but they had goalkeeper david de gea to thank for the victory. he made no fewer than 11 saves in the match. you expect to win every single game when you are at man united, that's what you do, but of course you won't, but you going to every game thinking, we should win this, and that's the mentality in the group today. we go there to win, we know we have to defend, we earn the right to win, but we have some fantastic skills and skilful players, attributes. that is why we are at man united. tottenham manager mauricio pochettino says he's worried about harry kane, though. he hobbled off the pitch after a last—minute tackle left him with a swollen ankle.

in the day's other game, everton moved into the top half of the table with a 2—0 victory at home to bournemouth. nikita parris has become the first player in women's super league history to score 40 goals. she put away manchester city's third in their 3—1 win at west ham. that took city to the top of the table for the first time this season, but they're only a point clear of arsenal, who have a game in hand. saracens are still looking good to win the european champions cup for a third time. their bonus—point win over lyon mea ns they‘ re still unbeaten in this season's competition. ben spencer with the last of their four tries as they won by 28 points to ten. england have made a good start to netball‘s quad series, beating new zealand 54—41 in their opening match in liverpool, the venue for the world cup injuly. that equalled their best win over new zealand, and coach tracey neville said it set the tone for the rest of the series, which also includes south africa and australia.

there was a big shock on the opening day of the masters snooker at alexandra palace. mark allen, the defending champion, was knocked out by luca brecel. the match went to a deciding frame but it was the belgian who came through 6—5. now, the f1 season may be over, but lewis hamilton is still thrill seeking. turns out he's a pretty handy surfer. of course he is good! here he is at an artificial surf centre catching a few waves, before a fairly spectacular crash. look at that, that is ridiculous. that is amazing. he's not had many of those in his driving career recently. still, in press. and that is the one and only 11 time world surfing champion kelly slater, who he was getting a lesson from, in the hot tub, look at that. pretty good at everything, lewis hamilton, isn't

he? amazing. we will try to get some of the david de gea saves. hands and feet. ten or 11. of the david de gea saves. hands and feet. ten or“. i think it of the david de gea saves. hands and feet. ten or 11. i think it was of the david de gea saves. hands and feet. ten or“. i think it was 11. very impressive. spurs were excellent. they couldn't get past him. he was a wall. thank you, and talk about andy murray later. yes, thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. and she has one of those lovely pictures. good morning. you don't have a choice, dan, i am here every at this time! this morning we have a chilly start with some wintry showers in the north—east. as we go through the week, you will find it isa through the week, you will find it is a cool start, it will turn mild, thenit is a cool start, it will turn mild, then it will get colder into the end of the week. this morning there is quite a bit of cloud around, producing shallow for cheshire, merseyside, through yorkshire, east anglia, —— showers. they will be on and off through the day. in the

north—west of england, they will fade. for more than i want and scotland, a cloudy start with showers. —— for northern ireland and scotland. as a weather front comes from the west, the cloud will thicken and we will start to see some spots of patchy light rain. meanwhile for england and wales it will brighten up. temperatures are a little bit lower than yesterday, around about average, orjust below where they should be at this time of january. as we had on through the evening and overnight, once again there will be holes in the cloud, but quite a lot of cloud, thickening enough for the odd shower, and scotla nd enough for the odd shower, and scotland could have heavy and persistent rain. this is what we call waiting weather front here cause it is doing that, waving in the same kind of areas —— waving. with the cloud, the breeze and the temperatures, we don't anticipate problems with frost. we still have the waving weather front with us. it isn't moving particularly far north or south, but you can tell from the isobars that it will be breezy. we

hang on to the reigning in the north, the totals start to mount up, but for the rest of the uk we start off with a fair bit of cloud around -- rain in. off with a fair bit of cloud around —— rain in. don't forget, it will be breezy and we will see some holes developing in the cloud, and bright or sunny developing in the cloud, and bright or sunny spells coming. temperature—wise, up on today, more of us see temperatures into double figures. by the time we get to the overnight period, tuesday into wednesday, we lose the waving front, there it goes, a cold front move south, taking rain with it, and cold air filters south, taking rain with it, and cold airfilters in behind it. here is the cold front with the rank sinking south, eradicating the bright start for some. —— rain south, eradicating the bright start forsome. —— rain sinking south, eradicating the bright start for some. —— rain sinking south. showers in scotland for a time and snow on the charts, but it will be largely heal and mountain features on scotland and the pennines. for most it will turn a bit cold —— hill. as we head in through the rest of the week and into the weekend,

once again we are still chasing holes in the cloud for some sunny skies, and it will turn a bit cold bed with what we will see in the middle of the week. —— it will be cold head with what we will see. we are going to talk about some food now. i don't think it is good news. from veganuary to dry january, it seems we use the start of the year to reset our diets and live a bit healthier, but could the amount we're putting on to our plates be scuppering our efforts? today, the british nutrition foundation has released a practical guide to help us work out portion sizes. amanda ursell is a nutritionist and joins us now. thank you very much forjoining us. what they have tried to do here is make it straightforward. do you have a few examples? a portion size of cheese according to their guidance... they have taken the lead world guide and put portion sizes on top of the simple guidance that we

have. they have given us guidance of how much we should be eating of carbohydrates, for example. looking at the dairy portion, two or three portions of dairy day, about 125 millilitres of yoghurt or that tiny amount of cheese. about 30 grams. they have tried to put things in easy to see handfuls, such as palm size or finger sized. how much cereal then? three size or finger sized. how much cerealthen? three handfuls. and that will be a bigger portion for you then it would be for me. they could give you a graham weight, but if you were to do it like that then dan will have a larger portion more suited for his size. let me reach

overfor suited for his size. let me reach over for the spaghetti. and this suited for his size. let me reach overfor the spaghetti. and this is useful, the spaghetti guide. the uncooked weight, louise. about one hand science? yes. if you would have thatis hand science? yes. if you would have that is cooked weight in a re sta u ra nt that is cooked weight in a restaurant it would be be about a handful. it is to provide some guidance around the world guide, we already have that and that breaks down carbohydrate, britain, dairy, fruit and vegetable. but itjust provides some guidance as to how much we should have. the only criticism of the eat well guide is how much to have. nobody knows what a portion of carbohydrates looks like. and 70 g of rice? again, we need out can be quite useful because

it looks tiny. —— to weigh it out is useful. and that is one of the things about this tipping any right food in the right amounts. —— one of the things about this, eating the right food in the right amounts. and what about bread ? right food in the right amounts. and what about bread? 40 g right food in the right amounts. and what about bread? 40 9 slices. my grandfather was a baker and what about bread? 40 9 slices. my grandfatherwas a bakerand i what about bread? 40 9 slices. my grandfather was a baker and i would have a huge chunks of an unsliced loaf so go ahead and we bowed out at home. and measure that at home. let's have a look at what we ate last night. this is what darnay. you are going so this is what darnay. you are going so well... i had a double portion of

that and i could not choose a putting so i chose to. this is a treat food and outside of the guide altogether. you are a man and you probably exercise and when it comes to these sweet foods it depends on the amount of activity that you do. if that was a treat we will let you off. and how often should we have a treat food? for tiny pieces of chocolate or a couple of biscuits.” did only have one portion of this last night. did look healthy. you could have had a couple more potatoes that the protein is about the size of your palm? . and that was fine. and let's check out sally as well. this vegetarian pastor. that looks like the right amount of

pastor and it is —— right amount of pasta. and it has been bulked out with the salad. that tomatoes are a good addition. when you look at your plate it should look at balanced.” do think this new guidance is quite useful. it provide perspective to the... so meat chicken fish... about the... so meat chicken fish... about the size of your palm? yes. it is just worth looking out and recalibrating what you are doing. is based on healthy food in the right amount. and if you can do that you are headed in the right direction. three handfuls of cereal, two sums of cheese, a pound coin of pasta...

a good way of measuring it. you can ta ke a good way of measuring it. you can take that with you as an easy way to estimate what you are having. thank you. personally i found that quite helpful. i shall definitely be thinking about my meal tonight. let us know what you think is what you are compared to what we ate?” us know what you think is what you are compared to what we ate? i was thinking about coming on today and wondering if i should have just a single desert... —— single serve of pavlova. the fashion sportswear retailer, jd sports, has just reported how it's done over christmas. nina has all the details. yes, the high street has been going through a tough time in recent weeks.

marks and spencer christmas figures were down 2.2%, it was worse for debenhams their sales were down 5.7% and the shops trade body, the british retail consortium, said it's been the worst christmas for a decade. but this morning the fashion sportswear retailerjd sports has reported a 5% increase in sales compared to the year before. you are probably pleased with those results. what is behind them but black friday but other retailers did not have. what is your secret? we are the number one destination for athletic leisure, both clothing and footwear. so that is sportswear that you don't necessarily wear for sport? it is lifestyle apparel and footwear. we have exclusive rangers and it seems to be the place

of choice and i think the athletic leisure trend has continued to increase with healthy living, people wanting to feel good, particularly young consumers. urban living, a culture towards there. so we are able to accommodate that desired. looking at the wider market when you look at marks & spencer ‘s figures, do you worry that high street will have an impact was to mark there is inevitability that footfall on high street is waning in. by swimming against the tide in that respect and i think you need to be flexible in retail cost structure. i am not bothered by them as an individual retailer because they do not compete with us but i am bothered about the overall impact on the footfall.” use seeing the impact yet?

you are doing well despite that. —— are you seeing the impact yet? you have got to say that generally there isa have got to say that generally there is a decline in footfall on a daily basis. we know that your total sales growth would have been 15%, excluding your acquisition of a finish line. how confident are you that that will flourish in the us because that is a hard market to crack it goes into department stores and that is 550 stand—alone stores. it is an opportunity, we need to ta ke it is an opportunity, we need to take some steps to rationalise and impose the jd take some steps to rationalise and impose thejd culture and for them. we have converted five stores. we plan to do another 15 in the next six months and then we will see how the us consumer react. that sounds

like a big risk. no. it is always measured. we our analytical. let's talk about exit then. how do you analyse that? how do you future proof yourself against brexit? in the past you have said you may need to move to a european warehouse rather than being based in the uk. i don't think there would be an exchange. what i do feel is that it will be an addition. so you would not close warehouses here? what you don't know is what the impactand what you don't know is what the impact and capacity levels are. it may shift towards europe if it goes the wrong way in that regard. how

about markets outside? australia, thailand and korea. is that protect you as we go through brexit? they tend to purchase from their own geography so we influence those rather than ship to those in great deals. be sourced from their local geography. do you feel like you can make plans or are you still waiting when it comes to brexit in terms of staffing and export? there has been a fortune made out of consultancy in the last two years yet nobody knows what the what if you've. we have had a committee looking at it internally and we will look at the various steps we may or may not take. what would happen if we would accelerate the european warehouse of ugly if it was hard. exciting times in one regard that like many manufacturers

it will feel chilly today, largely cloudy with a couple of sunny spells and the risk of a couple of showers a bit later. the wind is much less, still coming from the north—west and that could blow in a couple of showers for some later in the afternoon. sunny spells between and temperatures reaching 8 or 9 celsius. cooler than the weekend but not as cold as it could be. overnight, and some lengthy clear spells to start with then again cloud moves down from the north—west. and slightly milder air with that. minimum temperature between three and four celsius. as we head into tomorrow it will be a large dry day. temperatures in double figures for the next few days. ten, 11 celsius but wednesday, is the last mild day. the temperature will drop as we head through thursday and into the weekend. dry weather with a lot of cloud around a bit colder. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... back my deal or risk no brexit — theresa may makes a last ditch attempt to persuade mps to support her plan just one day before the crucial commons vote. and the moment has arrived. andy murray has stepped on court and is just about to start serving. it might be the last time we see him play a competitive match... he hasjust won his he has just won his first game against roberto bautista agut. heavy snow claims more lives in the alps as parts of europe grapple with the worst winter weather for decades. big pub chains have been bucking the trend — with a 3% increase in sales last year. why are they thriving when restaurants are closing? i'll be finding out. one of us has got to get in.

manchester's favourite crisis—prone friends are back on our screens — we'll speak to the stars of cold feet. for england and wales today, we're off toa for england and wales today, we're off to a start with showers, but it will brighten up later. scotland and northern ireland are cloudy with a few showers, but the wintry showers will tend to fade. it's monday 14th january. our top story. what's billed to be an extraordinary week in politics begins with a stark warning from theresa may. she will tell brexiteers that if they don't back her deal, then parliament could stop the uk leaving the eu altogether. there's just a day to go before mps vote on her plan, but there's little sign the prime minister has the support she needs. so how could the week unfold? debate on the deal mrs may has agreed with the eu continues today and mps will vote

on whether to accept it in the house of commons tomorrow evening. if — as expected — mps reject the deal, ministers have until next monday to come back to parliament with an alternative plan. but the clock is ticking down to 29th march — the day the uk formally exits the european union, which is just 11 weeks away — as our chief political correspondent vicky young reports. theresa may is running out of time to persuade mps to back her deal. today, she'll travel to stoke—on—trent, one of the strongest leave areas in the country, to make a final pitch. she'll tell them that parliament is more likely to block brexit than allow britain to leave the eu without a deal, so mps who've promised to respect the referendum result should get behind her plan. it was an argument used by the brexit secretary, too. the uncertainty in terms of what will happen in the house has increased, and so those on the brexiteer side seeking ideological purity with the deal are risking brexit. four brexit—supporting conservative mps have announced they will now

back the prime minister's plan, even though they're unhappy with some elements of it. so, what's in the withdrawal agreement theresa may has negotiated with the eu? it includes a divorce bill of around £39 billion. it outlines what happens to uk citizens living elsewhere in the eu, and eu citizens who have settled here. it also lays out how to avoid the return of a physical border between northern ireland and ireland, the so—called backstop. will you win a confidence vote? the labour leader says his party won't vote for that plan, but he's not keen on another referendum either. 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 29th 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. prospects are looking

bleak for theresa may, but unless mps can decide what they want instead of her deal, she can keep pushing her plan. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. we can speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley. nick, theresa may will make a statement in the house of commons to try and reassure mps about the irish border. yes, there will be lots of brexit about today, the prime minister making that speech this morning, talking about the threat of brexit not happening. this afternoon, she will be in parliament, speaking to mps and trying to convince them that she has enough reassurance on the most controversial aspect of her deal, the irish backstop designed to avoid a hard border in ireland no matter what happens. we understand there will be an exchange of letters between the prime minister and european leaders this morning, essentially saying that the backstop is supposed to be temporary. there

are some tory mps who are worried that we could become stuck in the backstop for years. this is designed to quell some of those fears. quite whether it will be enough, though, isn't clear, because so far, all the assurances the prime minister has offered on the backstop have not been enough. that's why most people you speak to in westminster are predicting that this deal will be rejected by mps tomorrow. the question after that is who takes control of the process, whether there is an alternative plan that mps end up coalescing around or whether the prime minister tries to get more assurances to get her through. thank you. things can change, so we will keep you up—to—date. we will hear from change, so we will keep you up—to—date. we will hearfrom liam fox soon. maybe he will tell us more. it isa

more. it is a whopping weak. we have said that a lot, that it is a big week. where was that quote? it is worth bearing this in mind when you hear. from a well—respected constitutional expert, "we are going to live through an extraordinary week, writing an extraordinary page of our history, and not one of us knows the words that will appear on that page". we will hopefully know by the end of the week. that don't take space tomorrow and we will cover it for you on bbc breakfast and across the bbc plasma coverage as well. other news this morning. a mother has died and her 8—month—old baby is in a life—threatening condition in hospital after being hit by a car in london. the woman, believed to be in her twenties, was pushing her son in his pram when the pair were struck in the penge area of bromley at around 8 o'clock last night. police say the driver, who has not been arrested, is helping with their inquires. officials in indonesia say they have found the cockpit voice recorder from a lion air flight which crashed into the sea

off jakarta in october. all 189 people on board died when the plane fell into the sea shortly after take off. the pilot asked air traffic control for permission to turn back to the airport, but then contact was lost. investigators say the plane had encountered technical problems. at least five people have been killed by unusually heavy snow in the austrian alps this weekend. there have been more than 20 weathe related deaths across parts of europe so far this month, with record snowfall in some areas. bethany bell is in annaberg for us this morning. you told us an hour ago that the snow was expected and we can see it has come back again. yes, it seems to have got worse in the two or three hours that we have been out here this morning. very heavy falls of snow, and that is making it difficult for the authorities, who are struggling with bulldozers to try and keep the roads clear and

passable. as well as that, the soldiers are trying to help clear snow off roofs, with volunteer firefighters. the authorities are warning that the risk of avalanches in some areas is at its highest level. that is also taking its toll this weekend. three german skiers died in an avalanche in the western ski resort and a fourth skier is still missing because rescue workers had to help their search because it was too dangerous for them to carry on. the snow is expected to continue well into tomorrow. thank you, bethany. andy murray is due on court at the australian open for what could be his last ever tennis match. sally is here with more details. he announced his retirement a couple of days ago. we have been talking like it is completely over for him, haven't we? but he is to— one up in

the first set against roberto bautista agut! he is playing in melbourne at the moment. australian open. it could be his last competitive match if he doesn't win this. we arejoined now competitive match if he doesn't win this. we are joined now on the phone by our tennis correspondent russell fuller, who is in melbourne. murray is uncut right now. he is 2—1 up. —— he is uncorked right now. is there as much attention there in australia as much attention there in australia as there is here in the uk at the moment about what could be a moment sporting history? yes, he has dominated the build—up to these championships, with everybody asking about him and many players from roger federer down to some british players who are just coming through and enjoying their first couple of years on tour have had lovely things to say about him, whether he has taken time out to send a message to

a young british player who has cracked the top 100 for the first time, to someone like roger federer and novak djokovic, who have been reminiscing about their rivalry. he has made a good start here against roberto bautista agut, the 22nd seed from spain. he looks like he is moving better than he did when he struggled in a practice match with novak djokovic last thursday. i understand he is taking painkillers today, which is not something he normally likes to do. we have heard so normally likes to do. we have heard so much about this hip, and i must admiti so much about this hip, and i must admit i am surprised to hear you say he is moving well. it is all relative. is he doing better than you expected? well, is very early in the match, 15 minutes in, but he looks to be a lot looser than he was in the practice match last week and i think he is going to go for it. he has promised to try and enjoy the experience as much as he can because he doesn't know if he will get a chance to play on a professional tennis court again. he is probably

likely to opt for a second surgery on that's right hip sometime after the australian open. that was the way he was leaning last week. that would not be about returning to top—level tennis, that would be more about making everyday life more bearable. he would love to be able to play golf and five aside football with his friends, not to mention playing with his daughters when he is older without being in pain. he may well have that surgery and that would still leave the door ajar to playing some sort of role in the wimbledon championships in the summer. wimbledon championships in the summer. that is his aim. if he can withstand the pain and the effort, he would love to be able to bow out in front of his home fans and his family on centre court. russell, great to talk to you. russell is courtside in melbourne, lucky devil, watching what could be a historic moment in sports. i think he will be all right. i want whatever he is on! he is moving freely. you think he will be all right in what sense?” think he will win. you heard it here

first, folks. the clock is ticking for theresa may to persuade parliament to back her brexit deal, before a vote in the commons tomorrow. mps still remain deeply divided, but with four brexiteer backbenchers saying they will now support the deal, is the tide beginning to turn in favour of the prime minister's exit plan? we're joined now from london by international trade secretary, liam fox. we have just been hearing that there is going to be an exchange of letters between the prime minister and eu leaders today. do you know what that is about? is it about the so—called backstop? what that is about? is it about the so-called backstop? well, the prime minister will be requesting to make a statement to the house of commons this afternoon to talk about the discussions she has had with european leaders and the reassu ra nces european leaders and the reassurances they have given her. so we have to leave it till that statement for the prime minister to set that case out. so has she had or

is she is still having discussions? there have been discussions over the weekend. she is giving a speech today and coming to the house of commons later today. officials will obviously continue to have discussions, but the prime minister will set out the details in parliament today. do you know what the details are? no. i have not seen any details of the statement. that will be worked out throughout the morning at downing street.” will be worked out throughout the morning at downing street. i know you are reluctant to tell me and maybe you don't know, as you say. is it about the irish backstop? is that where the focus is on? it's about the reassurances the prime minister was seeking on those issues. as you know, the backstop is an insurance policy, should we not come to an agreement with the european union over our future relationship over a period but actually, both sides don't want the backstop to come into being for a number of different

reasons. this is about the reassu ra nces reasons. this is about the reassurances that this would be a temporary measure, not a permanent one. will it be enough for the prime minister? we have to wait to see how my colleagues react. we have to understand the broader position we are in. the public gave us a clear instruction at the referendum. parliament decided it wasn't willing or able to make a decision on our membership of the european union and they said, let the people make that decision. when we as mps voted in—out referendum, we had the same vote as everybody else. we have to now recognise that having made a contract with the british public on that issue, we have to honour that contract and we have to leave the european union as instructed. the question is, how do we do it? the best way to do that is to back the deal the prime minister has set out. it doesn't give us everything we want, but in no negotiation would that be likely to happen. the question is whether we can provide enough reassurances for our mps over the nature of the backstop that it

would be temporary. as you say, she will make a statement later today. as far as we know, the numbers don't stack up at the moment, so what happens then? we know that if parliament doesn't vote for her deal, she has another three days. is that enough to get a different deal? under our rules, the prime minister would make a statement to the house of commons in three sitting days. that would probably be next monday and then of course, the government has three weeks to come forward to parliament with a motion the parliament can then vote on. i hope we will be able to get agreement on a way of leaving the european union that causes the least friction in terms of our economy. no deal is certainly survivable, but it would be problematic for our economy, so much better to carry out the will of the british people, but in a way

that causes the least potential damage to our economy. there has been a lot of questioning about plan b from the prime minister. is that the plan b, no deal? and our legislation, if we are unable to get an agreement, we will leave the european union on the 29th of march. that is what it says under the law as it stands. but it is much better for us to come to an agreement because if you look at our european trading partners, the impact on them would not be evenly spread. it would disproportionately hit countries like the netherlands and belgium and ireland. it wouldn't just like the netherlands and belgium and ireland. it wouldn'tjust be the uk that would have problems under no deal. so much betterfor us to come to an agreement and it is possible for that to happen, but it does require members of parliament to recognise that they have been given a clear instruction by the voters and it is their duty to carry that out. you laugh when talking to us.

are you optimistic that that can happen? i think it's unlikely that we would win the vote tomorrow, to be frank. not impossible, but it's unlikely. but it is possible that before we leave the european union, members of parliament will come to the conclusion that we have a duty to leave as instructed by the voters of this country. we also have a duty to do it in of this country. we also have a duty to do itina of this country. we also have a duty to do it in a way that minimises a potential disruption to ourselves and our own economy and to our trading partners in europe. at what point will they decide?” trading partners in europe. at what point will they decide? i have made my decision. i think we should vote for this agreement as it stands now. i hope that in the 24 hours remaining, that members of parliament, whether they voted to remain or to leave themselves in the referendum, recognise that they have a duty to make sure that we do exit the european union, but do so in a way that is minimally disruptive.

you mentioned survivability in the future, and you admit you are not optimistic about the prime minister getting the deal through tomorrow. can she survive as prime minister? should she be the one that goes on negotiating? yes. in a practical sense, it is impossible to imagine anything else happening. we need to recognise the world as it is. we have to recognise the potential outcomes, which is the prime minister? deal, or no deal, or no brexit. the latter two are suboptimal. liam fox, thank you for your time. we have spoken to three politicians on the programme today and it is hard for anyone to predict what is going to happen in the next 48 our ‘s. the only thing we do know is that we don't know. you sound

like that famous quote, the knowns and the unknowns! donald rumsfeld. what we do know is that there is a vote tomorrow! we will cover whatever happens. we will be on the bbc preface tomorrow morning. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. we can be certain that she knows what is happening, or at least she pretends she does. we will ignore that comment! there was a winter storm across the states yesterday, depositing ten inches of snow in washington, dc. that is the most snow they have had in washington, dc since january 2016. but the pictures behind me are of germany. you can see the amount of germany. you can see the amount of snow here. helicopters have been going out to try and blow the snow

away from the trees so they don't await as much and they don't topple on rails and on the roads. you can see the depth of the snow on top of this car. in switzerland, an avalanche came straight into this hotel. reports say people were sitting in the restaurant, they heard a loud noise and then all the snow piled in. locals say the avalanche was 300 metres wide. and you can see the snow for continuing across austria. some parts have had as much as three metres, about ten feet and more snow falling. at the moment, there is still a red danger are moment, there is still a red danger a re let moment, there is still a red danger are let out for the snow across parts of austria, southern germany and parts of switzerland. it eases offa and parts of switzerland. it eases off a touch tomorrow. but there is more snow forecast for tomorrow morning. we have had some wintry showers ourselves this morning across the northern isles. they will tend to fade, nothing like we have had in other parts of europe. today

it will be a cool start the week. it gets mild in the middle of the week and turns cold again by the end of the week. first thing, we have a fair bit of cloud producing showers across merseyside and through cheshire and lincolnshire towards east anglia. the showers in north—west england will fade and we will see sunshine across parts of england and wales. for northern ireland and scotland, you are also starting off with a fair bit of cloud. then i weatherfront starting off with a fair bit of cloud. then i weather front starts to come from the west. temperatures are on yesterday, but some of us are still hanging onto double figures. this evening, you will see a fair bit of cloud around. temperatures will pick up across scotland. this weather front is what we call a waving front. it is depositing a lot of rain in similar locations not just tonight, but also through

tomorrow. for the rest of us, the isobars are close together, telling us it will be breezy tomorrow. some of us will start with sunshine, but there will be a lot of cloud as well. we will be chasing holes in the cloud to get sunshine through the cloud to get sunshine through the day. meanwhile, rn band across scotla nd the day. meanwhile, rn band across scotland —— met our rain band across scotla nd scotland —— met our rain band across scotland will be causing rain totals to tot up. then we see a cold front across the south of the uk. so a dry start in the south, then we have a cold front sinking south with increasingly flattering towards the south—east. burning up a touch behind with showers, but in scotland and across the pennines, we are looking at snow. we expect this to bea looking at snow. we expect this to be a hill and looking at snow. we expect this to be a hilland mountain looking at snow. we expect this to be a hill and mountain feature, but the temperatures are going down,

just clinging on by the skin of our teeth to higher temperatures in the south. by the weekend, temperatures will start to slide. once again, we are looking for those breaks in the cloud to see our old friend, the sun. see you in half an hour. restaurant chains and pubs that serve food saw a 3% rise in sales during 2018. this is despite some big name eateries having to close outlets. so what's going on? nina's here. it's confusing because do you remember in may, june last year, we saw what was called the casual dining crunch. their paces like biron berger and jamie's italian, the big chains announced closures of stores. everyone thought we were eating out less. today we found that the sector as a whole grew by 3%. when you drill down into the figures, what is behind it is a 4% increase in pub sales. that is pubs

where people go to eat food. for years, we have been talking about the decline of the pub. but now i family of four can eat for about £15 in some places, so that has driven sales. also, we are seeing an increase in our desire to buy more expensive drinks. so we are drinking fewer units because of health awareness, but we are going for luxury brands when it comes to alcohol. when looking at value, it is quality rather than price that consumers are focused on. so we see a lot of people trading up with things like gin, which has grown in value and volume. instead of going for a standard value and volume. instead of going fora standard gin, value and volume. instead of going for a standard gin, people are going for a standard gin, people are going for a standard gin, people are going fora premium gin. that for a standard gin, people are going for a premium gin. that also goes for a premium gin. that also goes for lager. it is against the law to do any business interview, as you well know, without mentioning on how

brexit will impact on it! when it comes to brexit, we know that the hospitality industry is reliant on migrant workers from the eu. also, when there are fluctuating prices forfood, when there are fluctuating prices for food, they are vulnerable to those changes. but analysts are saying that even though we are worried about the future and even though consumer confidence is low, as reflected on the high street, there are certain things that we will always protect, things like spending time with the family. we are more inclined now to spend money on experiences rather than on acquiring stuff. so it would seem that even when brexit happens, that industry will be protected because we wa nt industry will be protected because we want to do those small treats with the people we love, rather than spending money on stuff.” with the people we love, rather than spending money on stuff. i couldn't agree more. i am the same! lets go out and have small treats. if you're following andy murray this morning, sally told us he is in round one of the australian open. he has gone up

in the first set against roberto bautista aghade. and russell fuller told us he is moving freely despite the hip problems. he did seem to be moving well. i can listen and look. still to come on breakfast: comedy drama, cold feet returns to the small screen tonight for an eighth series. now fifty—somethings, the cast are battling the stresses and strains of middle age — we'rejoined by actors cel spellman and john thomson. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning. we ended the weekend on a rather windy and mild note. through this week a real
