under the latest government proposal, if someone now comes into a low—skilled job they may struggle to move into management. the government's proposals make a strict distinction between high—skilled work and low—skilled work, and someone who comes in initially into a low—skilled job would not be able to switch into the high—skilled route, under the proposals. it would affect anyone trying to move upwards. i'm not unduly fussed where my workforce comes from, but i need enough people to man my lines, to look after my birds on the farms, to run this business efficiently and successfully. david whiteley, bbc news. and you can see more on how brexit will affect where you live tonight on inside out — that's on bbc one in england at 7.30. all the episodes will also be available on the bbc iplayer. right, time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. high there. it has been in short

supply so i am indulging a little. if you have had some sunshine, lucky you. it will return later this week but it will get colder. let's look at the next few hours. the satellites are shows where the best of the breaks in the cloud are, to the east. further west, this weather front starting to push in and that will arrive later on. some snow showers into the northern isles, believe it or not, and maybe contact isolated showers moving down the east coast in the afternoon, here a little cooler. further west, cloud around, where temperatures are holding up, 8—iod, but on the east coast it is a cooler afternoon, 5—6. through tonight, that weather front will push its way across of the high to the top, sandwiched in between these two fronts will be a lot of cloud. a milder day tomorrow but rather grey. some of the rain to the far north—west could be heavy in places, but generally speaking lighter and patchy across much of

western scotland. highest values of 9-11 western scotland. highest values of 9—11 degrees. out of tuesday, that front will think steadily to threads and it will be quite important because pushing its way into the scottish borders, northern ireland, across the north of england, behind that we will see the wind swinging round to a northerly direction. during wednesday, we have that front sinking across england and wales. to the south and east, still in a cloudier and milder zone, temperatures in double digits. they may be some rain in the london area by the end of the day, but behind that noticeably cooler and cleaner. lots of sunshine coming through but we could see a scattering of showers, and that will reallyjust open the gate for this cold air to push down behind this little front, and a northerly flow will start to ta ke and a northerly flow will start to take over. so we will lose the milder air. the yellow tones across the uk pushed out of the way from the uk pushed out of the way from the north, the northerly winds descending across the country. a noticeable difference right across

the country by the end of the week. into thursday, yes, some dry and sunny weather around with a few scattered and possibly even wintry showers off the north coast, but colder feel across the country. highest values of 4—7 degrees, and it looks like it will continue to get colder by the end of the week and into next week as well. you have been warned. reeta. louise, thank you. that's all from the bbc news at one. goodbye for me, good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news... andy murray has been knocked out in the first round of the australian open but hinted that it might not be his last match. he lost in 5 sets to roberto bautista agut but came from two sets down

against the spaniard in a thriller in melbourne. murray revealed last week that retirement would be this year becasue of the pain he's in following hip surgery and though he would prefer to bow out at wimbledon he said he might not be able to make it that far. he dug very deep in the third set, coming from a break down to take it on a tie break, he celebrated that like winning one of his three grand slam titles. the fourth also went to a tie break and he breezed through that to level the match. but his efforts to force the decider seemed to catch up with him. agut taking it 6—2. it is almost certainly murray's last australian open. honestly i have loved playing here over the years. it is an amazing place to play tennis. if this was my last march at, as you say, an amazing way to enter. i gave everything i had. it wasn't enough

tonight so congratulations to roberto and his team. i don't really have anything else to think what thanks again, thanks to everyone for all the support, my team, my family and everyone who has contributed to my career over the years. the british number one kyle edmund is out. he reached the semi—finals in australia last year and was seeded 13th but he struggled from the off against the former world number 4, thomas berdych. he went down in straight sets to the czech veteran. edmond managed only one break point all match. but dan evans is through to the second round, after a straight sets win over japan's tatsuma ito — his first win in the main draw of a grand slam for 2 years. he's likely to face roger federer next though. and katie boulter claimed one of the best wins of her career, knocking out ekatarina makarova in three sets — and taking the decider on a tie—break — the first woman to do so, under the new australian open rules.

going to ten points. she celebrated when she got to seven and had to go again. but other british players heather watson, harriet dart and cameron norrie are all out. ole gunnar solskjaer says david de gea is the best goalkeeper in the world. that's after the spaniard was the star of the show against spurs at wembley with a string of saves in the second half to help manchester united preserve their i—goal lead that marcus rashford had given them in the first half. caretaker solskjaer has won his first 6 matches in charge, which is a club record but he has his keeper to thank for that. he should have held a view of them but there is maybe one or two fantastic saves, and the rest of it is about concentration and being in the right position. we have had some

great keepers at this club and i think he is challenging both everton and peterfor think he is challenging both everton and peter for the number one think he is challenging both everton and peterfor the number one spot historically. world record holder and defending champion eliud kipchoge will take on britain's sir mo farah at the london marathon in april. this is the head to head everyone wanted. kipchoge won on the streets of the capital for the third time last year, with farah finishing third. the kenyan went on to break the world record at the berlin marathon, while farah won his maiden marathon title in chicago. sam sunderland's hopes of winning the motorcycle category at the dakar rally have suffered a blow. the briton, who won in 2017, had mechanical problems on the sixth stage in peru. he's now more than 21 minutes behind race leader pablo quintalla of chile. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. a lot more reaction to andy murray's last defeat, he is giving another

news c0 nfe re nce very last defeat, he is giving another news conference very shortly. you will be able to follow that on the website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport on the football, it is likely that martin o'neill will take over for nottingham forrest where he enjoyed so nottingham forrest where he enjoyed so much success nottingham forrest where he enjoyed so much success as a nottingham forrest where he enjoyed so much success as a player. let's get more on that breaking news — the government whip — garethjohnson — has resigned saying he cannot back the prime minister's brexit deal. in a letter to theresa may he said that the deal would be detrimental to the nation's interests and that the time had come to place his loyalty to the country above his loyalty to the government. the former brexit secretary dominic raab has been giving a speech and he says the country should be more optimistic about the opportunities of brexit. he said he will be voting against the deal tomorrow and that defeating that deal would present an opportunity to go back to brussels to negotiate a better deal. our chief political correspondent vicki young was at the speech and gave us this update. as the prime minister made her

last—ditch attempt to persuade her mp toboggan ride and back and —— to fall in line and back radio, there is still many that are saying it is not good enough. the former brexit secretary dominic raab, you are still determined to vote against the deal. what is so bad about it? in the long term it would be a democratic cliff edge for our country because it will give us democratic control over a lot fast swathes of rule— making democratic control over a lot fast swathes of rule—making and i think it will leave us uncompetitive. i think we should vote it down. there are more positive, optimistic alternatives which would really grasp the opportunities of brexit and that is what we have to do. what about your colleagues like michael gove who that you are risking brexit altogether by trying to get a perfect one. we are risking brexit altogether by trying to get a perfect one. we're not try to get a perfect one. we're not try to get a perfect brexit, we want one that is sta ble to perfect brexit, we want one that is stable to the referendum and takes

back control of our laws. this deal does not do it. we are being such a bar some money we need a clear route. we're not locked in some hybrid arrangement. the reality is they will quite understandably want to promote this deal, it is clear is going to be voted down. it is a bad deal. what i want to set out today isa deal. what i want to set out today is a positive optimistic alternatives and a vision for brexit which is there to serve the worker, the consumer and aspirational work in britain. the default legal position is that we lead the european union at the end of march without the deal. today the prime minister's said that would cause significant disruption in the short—term. do you think ready for that? will it will not be a walk in the park but is not the end of the world either. you have to balance

the manageable short—term risk with devastating economic and democratic consequences for the long—term deal. this is not the six months or a year, it is for our children. it is a bad deal in britain can do that. you're talking aboutjobs we it risks? we're document risks any alternative outcome but what is not be baked into this is the damage to oui’ be baked into this is the damage to our competitiveness and the economy, as well as the breach of faith with the referendum. i do not think it gives effect to the referendum or at the prime minister's own commitment and the commitment every conservative mp made in the manifesto to leave the singles market. we want to grasp the opportunity of brexit including free trade which is therefore aspirational work in britain. this deal cannot deliver it. many people sitting at home will seek this is your leadership bid. everyone gets asked this question. we have got

brexit ahead of us, a big vote tomorrow. instead of this defeatist attitude there is a optimistic alternative on the table, notjust in terms of negotiations, but the vision for aspirational working people in this country. thank you very much indeed. whilst those last—minute appeals are going to conservative mps there are people setting up alternatives. we have just heard that the attorney general has said that his judgment is that the withdrawal agreement now represent the only litter clean practical and available means of securing written‘s exit from the european union. —— britain's exit from the european union. some breaking news. the mayor of gdansk

who was in hospital after been stabbed at a charity event, we have liberty has now died from a hospital official that he has died after being stabbed at this event. the us secretary of state mike pompeo has been meeting with saudi arabia's king salman and his son crown prince mohammed bin salman in riyadh as part of his middle east tour. mr pompeo said that he discussed the investigation into the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi and that the saudi leaders ackowledged that accountability needed to take place. 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 artist denise di battista, her vision is her life and her livelihood. in 2010, she had a routine eye operation to replace both her natural lenses and improve her sight. but a few years later, the vision in her right eye unexpectedly started to deteriorate. i got almost blind patches. when i look with my right eye, i really can't see at all. denise doesn't have a problem with black and white contrast, but she does with colours and tones. this picture shows which you can see. when she learned the problem was called with an issue with her lens, it was devastating. was called with an issue with her lens, it was devastatinglj was called with an issue with her lens, it was devastating. i was very shocked. when i came out of the

consulting room my doctor was waiting for me and she said what happened and i was ever so shocked. the lenses she received were made by the european manufacturer oculentis but reports emerged that a small of patients were experiencing what is known as a pacification, emitting us on lenses. —— a misti ness. they had decided to recall the lenses. there is no suggestion that any of the lenders currently available are affected. sheraz daya is a leading eye surgeon who has tried to help patients like denise. a percentage of lenses have had problems with deposits of calcium on the surface that only become evident five to seven years later, when they accumulate enough to obscure vision.

oculentis has paid for surgeons like sheraz daya to replace the lenses concerned. it says half of all patients affected have had lenses exchanged. cataract operations are 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 problems of opacification in their lenses have occurred in some 800 cases and that is a very small proportion, but it does representjust the ones that the company knows about. in a statement, oculentis told the bbc: that it regrets any complications following implants of its lenses, and says: denise is nervous about having her lens replaced, as the procedure's 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 obscured and she's considering legal action. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... eu leaders release a letter saying they do not want to enter the irish backstop, in an attempt to provide assurances to those concerned about the brexit withdrawal agreement. in a speech in stoke, theresa may warns that the uk might remain in the european union if brexit supporters do not vote for her deal. the conservative mp garethjohnson, has resigned as a government whip in order to oppose theresa may's brexit deal. he says the deal is detrimental to the national interest. i'm ben bland. in the business news:

doubts about the future of a 20 billion pound nuclear reactor in wales. reports suggest hitachi will suspend work on its horizon division's wylva nehweth plant this week. if the project is scrapped, 400 jobs could go. and it would leave the hinkley point power station in somerset as the only new uk reactor still being built. it was a happy christmas period forjd sports. britain's biggest sports retailer reported a consistently strong performance over black friday and the festive season. the positive news comes against a backdrop of the worst christmas in a decade for retailers, according to the british retail consortium. chinese exports fell at the fastest rate for two years in december, according to the latest trade figures. the numbers indicate that the world's second biggest economy is weakening further. that sent asian stock markets lower on monday. there's been a fall in demand for some financial services in the uk for the first time

in five years. that's according to the latest industry survey. the confederation of british industry and accountancy firm pwc found that investment managers have had less business coming their way — while there was little or no growth for banks, building societies and lenders. on the other hand — the insurance industry did grow. rain newton—smith is the chief economist at the cbi. what does this tell us about the uk economy and how we are behaving as a population? it is showing that the banking sector is a bellwether for the wider economy so the fact that demand for business loans to start a new business, for investments, has slowed over the last quarter for the first time in five years really reflects the fact that we are seeing slower growth across the wider economy. the other thing from the

survey is not just economy. the other thing from the survey is notjust brexit uncertainty, which is undoubtably having a direct impact on the sector, but is also businesses are concerned about how that wider uncertainty is affecting growth at the moment and some of the investment decisions we are seeing now. what was interesting in your survey now. what was interesting in your survey was now. what was interesting in your survey was the variation within the different types of financial services. yes, it is a diverse sector cdc difference. one of the things that i think is more concerning for the real economy is slowing in demand for traditional acting services. batters loans and credit, free the consumers or businesses, so that suggests we could economic growth. we are seeing more expansion in the insurance sector that it is also a sector being transformed by the digital economy, the way we bank is changing. we can now get loans and noble phones —— mobile phones which means some businesses that only

offer insurance are now trying behind in different parts on the sector, so you behind in different parts on the sector, so you are behind in different parts on the sector, so you are seeing technological change driving innovation. i know what you mean about digital thing. i was given the option to upgrade my credit card and i thought don't encourage me to spend, i do not need any more encouragement. what about the outlook. is optimism around or either expecting things to get worse? there is a loss of gloom in oui’ worse? there is a loss of gloom in our sector. optimism in worse? there is a loss of gloom in oursector. optimism in a worse? there is a loss of gloom in our sector. optimism in a survey has fallen for three years now and that is unprecedented. there is a perfect storm about uncertainty for brexit and the uk's relationship with eu and the uk's relationship with eu and financial services how they will fit into that, but they're also concerns about weaker economic growth in the uk. we know we are likely to only see growth of one and a half percent in the uk and that is assuming we have some sort of smooth transition to a new deal with the

eu. we know if we end up with a new deal territorial that would be catastrophic for the economy so i think the financial sector is concerned about that. your ulcers in digital disruption and that means the sometimes traditional businesses need to innovate and catch up with that digital transformation. thank you very much. a group of lucky cathay pacific customers have scored first—class seats at economy prices, in the second fare blunder by the airline this month. tickets on trips from hong kong to portugal were sold on the airline's website for $1,512, instead of $16,000 usually charged for a similarjourney. the carrier said it would honour the tickets as it investigates the cause of the error. the wife of former nissan boss carlos ghosn has said he is suffering under "harsh treatment" in a japanese jail, where he has been detained for nearly two months. in a letter to human rights watch, carole ghosn described constant interrogations

and appealed for action. mr ghosn‘s arrest for financial misconduct shocked the auto industry. revolution bars group has warned that profits for the first half of 2019 will be £2 million lower, than last year due to slower sales and increased costs. the company, which has 79 bars, expects full year profits to be £12 million, down from £15 million last year. analysts had been expecting profits of £16.3 million. 12 million is enough to get around, isn't it? british shares wobbled, as exports data from china missed expectations and rekindled fears of slowing growth in the world's second—largest economy. investors braced for a crucial vote on the country's divorce from the european union. home—builders were among the fallers. they are the most exposed to concerns about a cooling economy amid uncertainty over brexit.

investors also dumped stocks they deemed more exposed to china. hsbc fell —as did mining shares in response to signs of weakness in the world's top metals consumer. that's all the business news. i will be back with more later in the afternoon. to bring you up to date in some news in relation to nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british iranian woman who has been in it iranianjailsince british iranian woman who has been in it iranian jail since thousands 16 and has begun a hunger strike since he was denied medical treatment. retweets from the foreign secretary say: he says he will also

meet her husband and they all have nazanin high in their thoughts. for decades the australian island of tasmania was considered a cultural backwater, with little to offer the outside world. but in recent years its reputation has been transformed, bringing a record number of tourists and a property boom. as our correspondent, hywel griffith has been finding out, the capital hobart has now become australia's least affordable city. weird or wonderful? tasmania it seems can be both. mona, the museum of old and new art plays on the island's reputation. the galleries feel more like a nightclub. in eight years it has made hobart genuinely cool and drawn visitors from around the world. we have perhaps opened up that box of curiosities that allows tasmania to expose its quirkiness and we have given licence, perhaps, to market that and to celebrate that instead of trying to deny.

last year saw a record 1.3 million tourists arrive here, more than double the island's population. once sleepy, tasmania is now in the middle of a boom. there are plenty of people trying to cash in, with a shortage of hotel rooms, some rental homes have been turned into lucrative, short stay holiday homes. but that has put the squeeze on people who live and work here. hobart has become the least affordable city in australia for renters. for dianne it has meant being priced out of her community after a 20% hike in her rent, she's had to move 15 kilometres out of town. itjust pushes all the people who can least afford it away from all of the resources and support that they need. i quite literally could have been homeless three months ago. you in a year could be living and working in tasmania. the boom isn'tjust in tourism.

the state government is actively encouraging more people to move here from the mainland. this one's on the beach! some predict it won'tjust be the lifestyle that draws people in. global warming could be a factor too. the climatic outlook for tasmania is more positive here than it is anywhere else. we're going to see a lot of big risks, a lot of increased bushfire risks, a lot of increased biosecurity risks but those risks are already happening on the mainland as well and they are going to be reduced here. whatever pulls people into tasmania the challenge for the island will be to make sure everyone here feels the benefit of its economic bounce. let us go over to the weather. we've got a watcher picture of some

cloud around. but cloudier skies for the west although there are some brea ks the west although there are some breaks in sheltered eastern areas today. we are likely to see a change today. we are likely to see a change to the story slowly through this week but with the next 2a hours we have got high pressure in the south west, toppling across that high weather fronts moving in west, toppling across that high weatherfronts moving in and west, toppling across that high weather fronts moving in and that will bring some rain into the far west of scotland. progress of the afternoon it is the case of sunny spells, scattered showers with them and filtering inland. by the west thickened cloud, nine to 10 degrees but it is a cool appeal along that east coast, with some were true showers along the northern al. —— isles. dobbies and wet and windy weather in the far north of scotland and quitea weather in the far north of scotland and quite a lot of cloud around as well. if you brake some sunshine coming through but the emphasis is with heavy rain pushing into the north—west of the great glen, a

breezy afternoon here. elsewhere it will be in milder affair. as move into wednesday it is likely to see the stars of a change. that wider front in scotland will gradually drifted with through northern ireland, across the scottish borders into the north of england overnight tuesday night into wednesday. it will probably grind to a halt across wales and northern ireland for much of the day on wednesday. to the south and east of that we keep the cloudier milder conditions, to the north of that it will be a crisp day. it will be a sunny day we could see some snow showers and perhaps even at lower levels, as it sought to turn colder. it is this weather front as it continues to sink its way south that allows that colder airto start to way south that allows that colder air to start to come more of the dominant feature across the uk so we're going to lose the milder story that we have seen in recent days and the north—westerly winds were dragging cold air across the country. hello, you're watching

afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 2... the prime minister warns no brexit is more likely than leaving the eu without a deal, if she loses tomorrow's vote in parliament. it's now my judgment it's now myjudgment that it's now my judgment that the it's now myjudgment that the more likely outcome is a paralysis in parliament that risks there being no brexit. that makes it even more important that mps consider very carefully how they will votes tomorrow night. meanwhile, a government whip resigns — gareth johnson says he is stepping down because he cannot back?the prime minister's brexit deal. trying to clean up the air we breathe — ministers publish their clean air strategy for england record—breaking snow continues to blanket parts of europe — at least five people were killed as avalanches hit skiing areas over the weekend. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport.
