good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the ayes to the right, 306, the noes to the left, 325. cheering. dramatic scenes as the government survives a vote of no confidence but parliament remains deadlocked over brexit. theresa may invites mps from all parties to downing street for talks, but opposition leader jeremy corbyn refuses unless no—deal is ruled—out first. how cutting back red meat to one hamburger a week could save lives — and the planet. good morning. suspending the nuclear option. confirmation is expected this morning that hitachi will halt operations at a planned nuclear plant on anglesey. so what next for nuclear power in the uk? the spy master shows his hand, marcelo bielsa — the boss of leeds united — admits that he's spied on every team he's faced so far this season and gives the press a lesson

in pre—match analysis. and it's notjust humans who need to eat better and exercise more — vets say half of all horses in the uk are overweight. good morning. it's a cold and frosty start to the day. the risk of highs on untreated surfaces. rain, sleet, and snow the forecast. most of us will have a cool and sunny day. i will have a cool and sunny day. i will have a cool and sunny day. i will have more in minutes. good morning. it's thursday the 17th of january. our top story: theresa may has called on mps to "put self—interest aside" and "work constructively together" to find a way forward for brexit. the prime minister made a late night statement in downing street, just a few hours after her government survived a motion of no—confidence in another day of high drama the house of commons. a warning alex forsyth‘s report contains flash photography. the ayes to the right, 306. the noes to the left, 325. cheering.

it was a much—needed victory after a crushing defeat. theresa may supporters rallied around to see off a challenge to her government, but bitter divisions over brexit still remain. the prime minister offered to meet other party leaders to try to find a way through, and she criticised the labour leader for not taking part. i am disappointed that the leader of the labour party has not so far chosen to take part, but our door remains open. it will not be an easy task, but mps know they have a duty to act in the national interest. earlier, jeremy corbyn explained his reason for refusing to meet. before there can be any positive discussions about the way forward, the government must remove clearly, once and for all, the prospect of the catastrophe of a no—deal brexit in the eu. all round westminster, the different views remain firm.

party leaders who did meet the prime minister last night have their own demands for the basis of future talks. we have to have on the table a discussion on extending article 50, on having a people's vote option and on taking no deal off the table. there'll be plenty more activity in westminster today with more meetings between the government and mps as they try to build a consensus. as we've been hearing, feelings were running high in parliament yesterday — here's a flavour of the debate on the no confidence motion. and the khrul truth of all is that she doesn't possess the necessary skills, the political skills, the empathy, the ability, and, most

crucially, the policy to lead this country any longer —— cruellest.“ the leader of the opposition won't stand up against vladimir putin when he stand —— when he takes people in this country. if she will not stand up this country. if she will not stand up for this country when the critical national—security questions are being asked, how can we possibly expecting to stand up for us at g— 7 icy—zen negotiations.

three years were upheld — and only five of the 48 officers were sacked. officers-accused the independent office for police conduct of ordering hearings unnecessarily. premier league footballers are taking part in a ground—breaking new concussion study this season that could lead to pitch—side diagnosis. the research involves saliva and you're in samples being taken from players with head injuries and from uninjured control players by club doctors after matches. of by club doctors after matches. 5.33 l333}. elf sill ffifitfiéflg éfifi 33 grow 333 l333§ 3f 3ll f33§33fl5 333 33 grow about the fears grow about the impact of medics believe é breakthrough that could be nearing a breakthrough that could transform is ig— a new test has research, a new test has been devised to detect concussion through and yearand is

latest experiments prove successful, the current and future generation should benefit as the fight against the curse of concussion continues. david ornstein, bbc news, birmingham. the future of one of the uk's planned nuclear power plants is in doubt this morning. hitachi, the company behind the wylfa newydd project on anglesey is said to be re—thinking its involvement there. a formal announcement is expected later. our reporter tomos morgan is there now. what more can you tell us, tomos? right, well, hitachi will have brought this project, they have very spent hundreds of millions of pounds putting into this project. but the cost, the future cost of this programme has put a doubt on things. the total cost of building a new power plant on the north coast of anglesey is said to be around £20 billion. to put that into context, thatis billion. to put that into context, that is 20 times larger than the

anglesey economy and more than the whole of the cost of crossrail, more than half the price of the brexit divorce bill. it is a huge cost for one power plant in north wales. and money is one of the big issues that hitachi seem to be stuck on to create this project. they have been in discussions with the uk government since june. but they haven't been able to rectify issues. theresa may met with herjapanese cou nterpa rts theresa may met with herjapanese counterparts earlier last week and she was criticised for not getting some security on the future of this project. this would have created around 9000 construction jobs project. this would have created around 9000 constructionjobs in this area and would have brought in around £6 billion into the welsh economy, so if it doesn't happen, if it is stalled for whatever period of time, it looks like it could cause some serious issues to the economy in the local area. thank you. a team of international experts is calling for radical change to global eating habits to improve health and prevent potentially catastrophic damage to the planet.

their report, published in the medicaljournal the lancet, calls for a huge shift from meat to vegetable consumption. our global health correspondent smitha mundasad has the details. feast your eyes on this. these are the kinds of dishes scientists say we should be tucking into if we want to be healthier, save millions of lives and protect the planet for future generations. a new diet, one that halves the amount of meat and doubles the amount of fruit and veg the world eats is being proposed by a team of global experts. scientists acknowledge this will mean different changes .. the daily diet should include 500g of fresh fruit and veg, 230g of whole grains, an optional 28g of fish, and if you like meat, no more than 14g of red meat. let me make it a little more concrete — that it corresponds to roughly one fairly good—sized hamburger per week, or if you like a great, big,

juicy steak once a month. so, it's not eliminating red meat by any means, and it's treating red meat like i think about lobster, where i really like it, but i have it a few times a year. this is why scientists say they want us to reshape our diets. in some places, modern farming techniques are changing landscapes and contributing to greenhouse gases. they say cutting down on food waste and improving how we grow the most nutritious foods must also become priorities. but we've also heard calls for healthier diets before. the question is — will this diet be one the whole world can stick to? smitha mundasad, bbc news. that is the problem with seeing food on the television first thing in the morning. it makes you hungry. on the television first thing in the morning. it makes you hungrylj on the television first thing in the morning. it makes you hungry. i wish we had it. fruit. that is the

healthy option. clothing retailers have been told to take immediate action to ensure items they advertise as containing fake fur are not made from real fur. the uk's advertising watchdog has given them a deadline of the 11th of february, after which they may face sanctions. last week the advertising standards authority found online retailer boohoo had sold a pompom jumper which used realfur, most likely rabbit fur. a rare natural phenomenon taking shape in the us state of maine is mesmerising people around the world. a giant slow—turning ice disc measuring around 91 metres wide has been evolving — and revolving — on a river in the city of westbrook. it's been likened to the moon, and an alien spacecraft. if you're wondering how it was formed, well it's all down to the swirling river currents. when a large chunk of ice splits from the bank, the currents spin it and guide it into an almost perfect circle. the way he said that was almost

mesmerising, too. do you mean in a good way for a bad way?|j mesmerising, too. do you mean in a good way for a bad way? i am just focusing on the disk of ice. hello, sally. it is one of those things i could put my ipod and listen to you describe that late at night. could put my ipod and listen to you describe that late at nightm could put my ipod and listen to you describe that late at night. it is the effect i have on people. this morning we have some drama in the sport worthy of a james bond film. really? you heard about spy gate from yesterday, leeds united. it is an incredible story. fantastic to watch. spygate takes another twist. as the leeds manager marcelo bielsa calls a press conference and sensationally admits that he's sent a member of staff to spy on every single one of their opponents so far this season. this is his powerpoint presentation.

the level of detail is phenomenal. we will go through this in more detail later. in the fa cup, championship side derby county came from two goals down to win a dramatic penalty shoot out against premier league southampton. derby were involved in spy gate originally. defending six nations champions ireland name three uncapped players in their six nations squad, along with the surprise inclusion much faster than expected. after beating arch rival kyren wilson at alexandra palace. more on spying, more james bond. we have our own bond girl coming up now. carol. she is around there. i don't know what she is spying on at the moment. the weather macro. that old stuff. good morning. the good morning, everyone, and good morning to you. if you haven't stepped outside, for most of us it is cold.

a widespread frost, at risk of ice on untreated surfaces and for some of us there is snow, especially across the far north of scotland. we still have snow showers in the forecast, across the north york moors, for example, and some slipping southwards. there are three areas you can see nicely in the satellite, this one, this one and this one, all have the potential to produce some rain, sleet and snow and as we go through the day, this particular front, and as we go through the day, this particularfront, which is a cold northerly, will continue the journey south eastwards across the south—eastern quarter of the uk before clearing later. it still has 35:33:3for , ,, ,,,,, 35:35:3for , ,, rain, ,,,, 353523323 for= rain, sleet and snowagt it’wiit betransignt we have those showers coming in and we have those showers coming in across the north—east of scotland. you can also see them coming in on the wind across eastern coasts. as high pressure builds on through the day, a lot of them will tend to fade and for most of us it will be a dry, cold and sunny day. however, out towards the west, a new weather

front coming our way will introduce thick cloud and the sunshine turn that hazy. temperature—wise, we are pretty low, between three and about six. if you are in the wind, the wind chill will make it feel colder than that. through the evening and overnight, a few wintry showers coming in, the wind not as strong. a lot of clear sky. out towards the west, cloud and rain as another front advances towards us. you can see the blue hues across the charts. it will be a frosty night, not as much where we have the cloud and rain, though, temperatures will hold up rain, though, temperatures will hold upjust rain, though, temperatures will hold up just above freezing but once again there will be the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. heading on through friday, we start off on a fine and dry inert to further east you travel. out towards the west, we have this weather front coming our way. as it crosses northern ireland we could see some early snow, maybe a little bit at lower levels for a time, but as it comes into cold air from western scotland, north—west

england, parts of wales as well, we could also see some snow. a lot of it could be on the hills but we could see some at lower levels. ahead of it, look at the temperatures. they are still on the side. their home this weather front, the temperatures are not as low, which means as we go through the day and this weather front pushes towards the east, snow at lower levels will turn back into rain. in the saturday, it is a right old mishmash. in the north of the country we have some sunshine, in the south—west we will also have some sunshine, but also some showers. a grey day on saturday for many of us, and temperatures slowly picking up a little bit. it will still feel chilly. a quick look at sunday, it starts off cloud eight. again, the clouds in the raking —— cloudy. weather fronts coming again, the clouds in the raking —— cloudy. weatherfronts coming in from the west introducing splashes of rain and hill snow. thank you very much, carol. let's take a look at today's papers.

unsurprisingly, brexit dominates all of the front pages. britain is in a brexit deadlock according to the guardian. it says theresa may is not ready to shift on her red lines, including customs union membership. the mirror leads on corbyn's ultimatum, demanding the pm ditch the no—deal option before any brexit talks can take place. the daily mail makes clear its allegiance with its headline "wrecker corbyn slams door on theresa". jeremy corbyn is accused of playing politics after he turned down the pm's invitation. the photo on the left shows the duchess of sussex at the royal albert hall last night. and finally, "come on over to may place" is the headline on the sun's front page. it says corbyn's refusal to talk has deepened the deadlock. away from brexit, one of the most read stories on the bbc news website this morning is about a state school in east london that is celebrating after 41 of its students received offers to study at oxford and cambridge this year. the sixth form at brampton manor academy in newham has rivalled the admission rates of some

of the best private schools in the uk. looking at the inside pages. good morning. we know m&s has been closing a number of stores, it says it wants to close even more. there isa it wants to close even more. there is a story in the express which suggests the retailer will have to pay £33 million in rent over the next 235 years. for one store, it is a store and the doors closed in august of last year. but it has a pretty long lease, which lasts until 20 to 54, pretty long lease, which lasts until 20 to sa, and it will pay the rent on that until that time —— 2254. 20 to 54, and it will pay the rent on that until that time —— 2254. it costs about £33 million for a stall which is empty. can it not rented out? it could, but the local council suggests no—one will want it and since the landlord has the money guaranteed, they will be in no rush to rented out. they signed this lease in 1971 when the retail landscape was a little bit

different, so maybe overly optimistic in signing a lease that long. i hope they say they will pass it through the family, because i don't think they plan to live that long. you were buried in your newspaper, what is getting your attention? it is these great stats on the leeds united manager, live and let spy. isn't that great? and he has admitted, i have spied on every tea m he has admitted, i have spied on every team we have played. you think this is great, don't you? he has a tea m this is great, don't you? he has a team of at least 20 people who will watch game after game after game and bring back the analysis, and they basically take every match and every tea m basically take every match and every team and every player apart. he has admitted that for one 90 minute match between two teams he might be analysing, it will then take them four hours, they will have four hours worth of material from that game to go through. so here is a manager who does his homework, who

analyses, employs people to do the job of research. and just what i wa nt to job of research. and just what i want to show you on the back page of the sun, a tribute to austin powers, and spying in football has gone on for yea rs and spying in football has gone on for years and years, and if you play away especially in europe, you would a lwa ys away especially in europe, you would always be aware that would be someone in the stadium perhaps watching what is going on. he has taken this to another level, a level of detail that is difficult to even comprehend, and he says it is because he needs to manage his own anxiety because he gets really stressed about preparing for the game, and it is kind of managing that. i thought the bit of this story which was exercising people more is not so much watching matches, they are all on tv, but more the binocular issue. the use of binoculars. you are literally kind of skulking around fences, around training grounds, with binoculars. and players, getting through fences

to perhaps places you shouldn't. -- pliers. this is pretty clever. it is doing research on your opponents. and the pliers, the issue of breaking into fencing? is that alleged or is that true? it is alleged, and i think it goes against the spirit of the game. i think it goes against the spirit of the game. the spirit of the game is absolute competitiveness. you don't see more passion on a pitch, really, than in by passion on a pitch, really, than in rugby and football, and you expect the managers to reflect that and give the players all the information they possibly can to win. whereas they possibly can to win. whereas the sportsmanship in that? if you are the only people doing it —— where is the sportsmanship and that? they are not the only people doing it. not everyone is taking it to the level they are taking it too. one thing i would say is i don't necessarily think he should be punished, ijust necessarily think he should be punished, i just think that he necessarily think he should be punished, ijust think that he has gone to a level that everybody knows

he does and he has got away with it. and he has come out yesterday and explained it all, and i admire that. this is a physical manifestation of what businesses are doing with us all the time, they look at everything we do. it is all about the data. how much we buy, where we spend, who takes the corner, what is the hand signal? he knows all of that stuff. we are getting a signal right now. i have one of the really good stories, and... thank you very much. theresa may is not the only one who has some big decisions to make on brexit in the weeks ahead. labour will be carefully plotting their next steps too. our reporterjohn maguire has been to the nottinghamshire constituency of ashfield, where nearly 70% of people voted leave, to find out what grassroots labour members make of the drama playing out in westminster. a warning thatjohn maguire's report contains flash photography. they are proud of their mining

heritage here in ashfield. this is labour heartlands, but as in so many communities across the uk, banks over europe has changed the political landscape. applause the sitting labour mp has a majority of just 441. the sitting labour mp has a majority ofjust 441. she was a remainder, but people here opted to leave the european union, with a whopping 70% of the vote. the leader of the labour group of the vote. the leader of the labourgroup on of the vote. the leader of the labour group on ashfield district council says deciding what her party should do next is stifling. initially i was thinking that a second referendum would be great. obviously as a remainer i would want that, i would think that, but when you think it is democracy and we would actually be turning our back on democracy, and that is a hard thing to do, i think we need to work to bring about a general election and we need to work as labour to

make sure that it is labour that axa gets into control and into government. the divisions that have split the main parties at westminster extend far beyond the famous bubble. people came to me for the first time ever, they are asking me where the white vote, what do i do? lee anderson was a labour council but changed his allegiance to the conservatives because of brexit. i think there is definitely a disconnect between the labor party and labour voters in the midlands and labour voters in the midlands and in the north of the country. 70% of the constituents in this country actually voted to leave the eu. if that would have been a general election, that would have been landslide, and nobody would have been asking for a second vote then. so it is time for the labor party and all sides to come together and get behind the will of the people and vaccine makers leave on march. whether you are leave or remainer, you both know she is not doing well. the manager of this pub is also the chair of the labor party here. as we watch, last night's confidence vote,

they are aware that throughout their leader's career, he has and always match his party's enthusiasm for the european union. but what should he and labourdo european union. but what should he and labour do now? cross-party cooperation is essential. our constituency voted 70% to leave. that needs to be respected at any costs. the government must remove, must remove, clearly and won several... the response of jeremy corbyn was effectively that we must give an ideal brexit of the table, because that will destroy everything in this country. because we are simply not ready to exit the eu. we will also continue to work to deliver on the solemn promise we made to the people of this country... what should happen next, do you think? catherine, a ukip supporter, is convinced it is time to go. i believe that we should leave with no deal, on wto turns on canada leave with no deal, on wto turns on ca na da style leave with no deal, on wto turns on canada style terms. and on 29 march?

jeremy corbyn. thank you, mr speaker. labour has got to be part of the next steps, and whether theresa may likes it or not, they have to get involved, quite friendly, until zorn rules out the no deal, crashing out totally, it is just going to be the same as is what it has been for the last two years. while i say that we should respect the vote of leave, yes, we should, but we have to have a deal that makes sure that we secure people's jobs. we are going to be talking to lots of mps this morning who have been meeting with theresa may, or have meetings scheduled with theresa may, now that she has opened her door, so to speak, her daughter in downing street, for more talks about what next. we will be talking to them about what they want later in the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm victoria hollins. with half of all homicides in london this year related to domestic abuse,

london assembly members are calling for serial offenders to be put on a register. they hope to put pressure on the government ahead of its draft domestic abuse bill. the assembly says it could work in a similar way to the sex offenders' register, which allows police to hold information on repeat abusers. the fight to eliminate fatbergs which block up our sewers is to receive a boost with the launch of a new universal standard for wet wipes. they are said to contribute to the giant mounds of grease clogging the sewage system, as they don't break down and cost millions to remove. water uk, the industry body, says wipes will now need to pass strict tests to gain the approved logo "fine to flush". every year, thames water customers plus millions of these things down the drain, and we clear about 70,000 blockages from a network, the results of which are the customers flushing the wrong things down the

toilet. new cameras are being introduced at the rotherhithe tunnel next month to help enforce new rules. they are being installed to deter vehicles that don't meet the height, width and weight restrictions. officers have turned away an average of 600 vehicles a day since september. drivers who break the rules could be fined up to £130. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there are minor delays on the circle, metropolitan and hammersmith and city lines, and there are severe delays on the piccadilly line. traffic on the a13 is building westbound from dagenham into barking. traffic on the a2 is slowing up heading out of gravesend towardsjunction 2 m25 darenth. in central london, pall mall east remains closed eastbound at st james's st for works near st james's palace. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today will feel an awful lot colder than it did yesterday. now, it is already a

chilly start, and there will yesterday. now, it is already a chilly start, and there will be yesterday. now, it is already a chilly start, and there will be some showers around for a time this morning too, and some of the showers could turn out to be wintry, so some sleet, even possibly a bit of snowfall, but you have over higher ground, but it won't settle. it does look like it's going to stay dry for most of the day, though. they'll be some sunshine into the afternoon but rather chilly north—westerly wind blowing. so all the while feeling cold. watch out for the mighty stretches towards northern home counties for a time this morning. there is a met office weather warning out for these. the showers will drift away southward so it will turn dry, and there will be a lot of sunshine around for the second half of the day. a very chilly north—westerly wind blowing. those top temperatures only between two at four degree celsius, that is a big dip on werriwa yesterday, and of course it will feel colder than that with the added windchill. now, overnight tonight there will be a sharp widespread frost developing. largely clear skies, temperatures and some of the rural spots could drop as low as —4 or minus five celsius. tomorrow, with a change of wind direction, it won't feel quite so bitterly cold.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it is back to naga and charlie. bye for now. crawl hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning, we'll be finding out why half of the horses in the uk are now overweight — resulting in hundreds being put down each year. could a pitch—side test for concussion soon be on the cards? we'll hear how premier league footballers are taking part in a groundbreaking new study. and the singer—songwriter dodie will be here to tell us about her transformation from youtube sensation to mainstream music star. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. theresa may has called on mp5 to "put self—interest aside"

and "work constructively together" to find a way forward for brexit. the prime minister made a late night statement in downing street, just a few hours after her government survived a motion of no—confidence in another day of high drama in the house of commons. theresa may also met with party leaders including the snp, plaid cymru and the liberal democrats. i think she's listening. we basically, i reiterated my position. she reiterated her position. there's a willingness to continue to talk about these issues in detail, which i think is encouraging. getting the red lines are starting to blur?” i think is encouraging. getting the red lines are starting to blur? i am satisfied that we may make some headway in this way. —— do you think. premier league footballers are taking part ina ground—breaking new concussion study this season that could lead to pitch—side diagnosis. the research involves saliva and urine samples being taken from players with head injuries and from uninjured control players

by club doctors after matches. scientists from the university of birmingham hope it could lead to concussion being diagnosed quicker and more accurately in the future. clothing retailers have been told to take immediate action to ensure items they advertise as containing fake fur are not made from real fur. the uk's advertising watchdog has given them a deadline of the 11th of february, after which they may face sanctions. last week the advertising standards authority found online retailer boohoo had sold a pompom jumper which used realfur, most likely rabbit fur. a team of international experts is calling for radical change to global eating habits to improve health and prevent potentially catastrophic damage to the planet. their report, published in the medicaljournal the lancet, calls for a huge shift from meat to vegetable consumption. they say it will be impossible to feed the global population in future without major changes to diet and food production techniques. however campaigners say some of the recommendations are incompatible with truly sustainable farming systems. a british woman has become one of

research. doing yourjob. you want your boss to know exactly what the comp edition is doing to allow you to be the team to succeed. the leeds united head coach marcelo bielsa has admitted they've spied on every team they've faced this season. people are saying he showed his research into every team. the argentine called an unexpected press conference yesterday — which lasted over an hour — and he ran through everything he learnt from his spies, but also pointed out all the other analysis the club does on opponents. look at the date on the screen. —— data. the efl and the fa are already investigating an incident last week where a leeds member of staff was caught watching derby train before a league match between the two teams. however, bielsa says he's done nothing illegal. in words can you that i observed all the tell you that i observed all the rivals we played against and we

watched all the training sessions of the opponents before we played against them. he is absolutely clear that he has done nothing wrong. that forensic mind. ilove done nothing wrong. that forensic mind. i love it. all that data. well, frank lampard refused to go into detail about bielsa's press conference before their fa cup third round replay at southampton instead choosing to focus on the game. it seemed to work, as they came back from two goals down at st mary's to knock saints out on penalties. martyn waghorn's late equaliser forced the spot—kicks and it was captain richard keogh who stepped up to send derby through. their reward is a fourth round trip to accrington stanley. you have to be proud when your team

plays like that. it shows character and quality throughout the game against a premier league team. we have done it a few times now. the fa cup special, it's magical, to come away and play the way they did makes me proud and delighted for ourfans who came to watch. they were two of the greatest players in premier league history and now thierry henry and patrick vieira have faced each other as managers for the first time. henry, who's in charge at monaco, welcomed vieira's nice side for the match in france's ligue un. and they could not be separated, the game ending one all despite nice playing the entire second half with 10 men. monaco remain in the relegation zone gee! 9??? 22:23; “a" =:‘:‘. ligue un. you do it - back.

full—time employee. it is all about the gig economy, actually. what they have proved, in fact, is that because she was lottery funded it was more like getting a student grant them being employed by an organisation. —— than being employed. the nba arrives in london tonight with the washington wizards facing the new york knicks at the o2 arena. a lot of the build up has been dominated by the absence of the knicks' star player enes kanter who refused to travel to the uk because of fears over spies after he criticised the government in his home country of turkey. i don't think it has affected us. but it will be hard for us not having one of our best players with us. you know what enes kanter brings to the basketball team. we have been without him for a couple of games now. we will play the wizards without him. judd trump is safely through to the quarter—finals of the masters snooker. he beat last year's finalist kyren wilson by six frames to two at alexandra palace

in what was a bit of a grudge match with both players admitting they don't get on with each other. looked at that handshake. next, he'll face the three times champion mark selby who beat scotland's stephen maguire by the same score. selby was a comfortable winner in the end, knocking in three century breaks on his way to victory. should we do that handshake like they just should we do that handshake like theyjust did? go. like that.” should we do that handshake like theyjust did? go. like that. i see. very abrupt. you don't often hear about the incident. it always seems quite respectful. not always. i think there have been some great rivalries in snooker. people disliking each other. they could not hide it. we will. later on. back to our top story now, and theresa may is planning more meetings with politicans from all parties today. she says she wants mps to "work constructively together" to find a way forward for brexit. but how willing are mps from across the political spectrum to compromise?

and is the prime minister doing enough to get people on board? we're joined from westminster now by the conservative mp nigel evans, and the green party's caroline lucas. good morning to you both. thank you very much for being with us. very cold here. it is called. carol has told us. we went keep you too long, just perhaps to ask... —— cold. what do you want, what you need to see now, lay out your position in terms of the vote of no—confidence and in terms of the deal as well, but also what do you think theresa may needs to do next when it comes to the spirit of being able to compromise. iam spirit of being able to compromise. i am meeting the prime minister later today along with several of the fellow officers of the 1922 committee. she is having a rolling

series meetings later today with politicians. i don't know when she caroline. nine o'clock. i meeting caroline. nine o'clock. i will have prepared the land for you. i think what needs to happen is there needs to be an acceptance that we are leaving the european union. that's number one. secondly, that we have to be able to do trade deals around the world, otherwise it will be impossible for liam fox to do anything. he will lose hisjob if we stay in a customs union. we have to be able to control immigration into the united kingdom. there have to be some red lines there. but at the end of the day there has to be an a cce pta nce of the day there has to be an acceptance from people like caroline that we are leaving the european union. that is one thing that can't remain on the table. 0k, nigel, you voted leave and you voted against the deal. caroline lucas, you have is meeting at nine o'clock. you voted to remain and voted against the deal. what want to hear from theresa may, what are you going to

say you need to hear in order to support the next proposal? can i just say, first of all, it is such a shame she has left it so late before she is reaching out across the house of commons. she should have been doing is two years ago. the clock is ticking. she is having this meeting. i think we need to have % no the table, i am hearin m self off the table, i am hearing myself back on the thing... i want to be able to see no deal off the table. éble two:- ido want éble two:- i do want to go back to the because | think that public people, because i think that public changed, opinion has changed, certainly no—one has had an opportunity to their say on this actual deal. have their say on this actual deal. it is so different from what was proposed to a half years ago being proposed to a half years ago that it being proposed to a half years ago thatitis being proposed to a half years ago that it is only right for people to have a look at it. if they like it, fine, go ahead and we live. if on balance they recognised it is so different from what they were being promised to a half years ago than they think they have the right to remain inside the eu. the important thing is, as a precondition, no deal

has to be absolutely off the table. she needs to ask for an extension of article 50. i will allude to what nigel said earlier. the idea of taking no deal off the table and knowing that you have been pushing for a second referendum or considering a fresh referendum, it seems that taking no deal off the table means it paves the way all is more of a way for a new referendum, which, as nigel says, is not what the country voted for. their country certainly didn't vote for no deal. that wasn't on the table at all. —— what the country. they wanted to ta ke what the country. they wanted to take back control. theresa may's deal is taking away control from people because it means we have no vote and no voice over the negotiations in the eu, over our future trade relationship in the eu. nigel himself voted against the deal. clearly the brexit that theresa may has come up with is not one he likes. we know whether the public like it or not? the only way we will know that is to i back to we will know that is to go back to if they like it live,

- 3: they 35; have thei i j; iii; i "; if if they don't we should have the to remain. that is right to remain. that is not undermining democracy, that is extending democracy. and surprise nigel has such a problem with it. if he thinks whatever break the deal he will come up with will be so popular, why would he be afraid? -- brexit. the vote was held in 2016 people voted to leave the european union. this makes our people like caroline, they said he wanted a second referendum vote leaving. this is the last bite of the cherry. the other thing, which is important to stress, and i agree with caroline, it's a shame that the prime minister did not go out and speak with people earlier on. we need the support of the dup. without them we can't govern. if the vote had passed on tuesday night, we would not have been able to govern for the next three years, because the dup would have withdrawn their support. i know arlene foster was around westminster yesterday, so i suspect she was one

of the first meetings that the prime minister at. i am of the first meetings that the prime minister at. iam really of the first meetings that the prime minister at. i am really pleased about that. but we need to ensure that the dup are on side with whatever is going to come before us on monday in orderfor whatever is going to come before us on monday in order for that to be the proposal that she takes to michel barnier. it is in ——it is pointless the european is a man are not going to talk. they have got to come to the table, to. jeremy corbyn has made clear he is not going to talk or take part in any talks u nless talk or take part in any talks unless no deal is taken off the table. do you think that is reasonable? ido i do think she is using no deal as a kind of blackmail for mp5, i do think she is using no deal as a kind of blackmailfor mps, she is trying to push us into a corner so we can only accept her deal. she has the responsibility and the ability to ta ke the responsibility and the ability to take that no deal off the table. i think that... can ijust say, in terms of an initial conversation, i don't think they should necessarily be preconditions for that, but for formal talks it is absolutely right to say no deal should be off the table and the people's vote should

be there is a possibility. it is very sad thatjeremy corbyn is taking this position, he is letting down 61 constituencies which voted leave. the fact is, in any negotiation you have to be able to walk away. we want the deal, but it is going to take the european union coming to the table and saying let's negotiate about what is possible in the house of commons. the one thing we can't do is let down the 17.4 million people who said we want to leave the european union. it is not a very successful strategy, it doesn't work. i am sorry to cut you off, but it is cold. to get warm. here is carol with this morning's weather. there is some sleet, rain and snow in the morning forecast, it is a cold start to the day as we were hearing from mps, with the risk of

either untreated surfaces and widespread frost. the many parts of the uk today, it will notjust be cold, it is also going to be sunny, soa cold, it is also going to be sunny, so a crisp, cold, sunny winter's day. what is happening as we have three distinctive bands. you can see quite clearly where we have snow falling, this band continuing to sink south—east it is the go through the course of the morning. it is a weather front which will eventually clear away, but behind this weather front, the wind has veered to a northerly, cold weather direction. a ridge of high pressure will kill off some of the showers and the strong winds, which will start to ease. the bandsis winds, which will start to ease. the bands is south, aafifi— fr —.— f i. across aafifi— fr 1— f 1. across parts asafi— 11 11 1 11.1 across parts of 5115.13.11 11 11 1 111 aci in; parts of 5115.13.11 11 11 1 1111 aci in excess of 5115.13.11 11 1.1 1 1111 aci in excess of three 5115.13.11 11 1.1 1 1111 aci in of cess of three 5115.13.11 11 1.1 1 1111 aci in of cess snow. a. snow parts of north—east across parts of north—east england, northern a lot on the across parts of north—east england, northern - a lot on the hills 53333333 lr3l3331 3 l33 33 333 3313 i g— 53333333 lr3l3331 3 l33 33 333 3313 i you can also , , , ,, 53333333 lr3l3331 3 l33 33 333 3313 i you can also see , , , ,, 53333333 lr3l3331 3 l33 33 333 3313 i you canalsoseea . . . .. 53333333 lr3l3331 3 l33 33 333 3313 i you can also see a band , ,, 53333333 lr3l3331 3 l33 33 333 3313 i you can also see a band of = 53333333 lr3l3331 3 l33 33 333 3313 i you can also see a band of rain, ! and you can also see a band of rain, sleet and snow putting across east anglia and the south—eastern quarter. not immune to the odd of snow across western wales in

south—west england as well. through the course of the morning what you will find is the snow showers will tend to fade. the wind will ease and look at all this sunshine. it will feel cold, the temperature values are feel cold, the temperature values a re low feel cold, the temperature values are low anyway, but when you add on the windchill it will make it feel closer to freezing for many. a weather front coming in from the west will introduce more cloud of the sunshine in the west will eventually turn that hazy. through the evening and overnight we see a return to some snow showers, many of them in the hills, but a lot of clear skies. the temperature is going to plummet very quickly after sunset. there will be once again a widespread frost, the risk of either untreated surfaces, but this next system untreated surfaces, but this next syste m fro m untreated surfaces, but this next system from the west introducing thicker cloud and some rain. for a time overnight we could see some snow across northern ireland, a little bit of transient snow at lower levels. tomorrow, the further east you are, the dry at the start, but a weather front continuing to advance from the west to the east.

as it does so and bumps into the colder air as it does so and bumps into the colderair in as it does so and bumps into the colder air in western scotland, parts of north—west wales, some further snow. a lot of this in the hills but we will see some at lower levels. ahead of it will still be cold, but behind this front, note the temperatures. it means as the front pushes from the west to the east at lower levels, any snow will readily turn back into rain. thanks very much, carroll. it does look very much, carroll. it does look very chilly. and ben has some news in relation to the nuclear power industry. good morning, that's right. the writing was on the wall for the wylva newith nuclear plant on anglesey last week when a newspaper injapan reported that hitachi, the company behind the project, was rethinking its involvement. a formal announcement is expected later that could confirm it is suspending work. so what would that mean for the uk? well, the £16 billion power station was due to be built next door to a decommissioned plant, and it was supposed to start

generating electricity by the mid—20205. and it was designed to power 5 million homes, that is 6% of the uk's total energy needs. it would have created 8,000 jobs and 400 roles are at direct risk if the project is scrapped today. it would leave the uk with just one nuclear plant under construction, at hinkley point in somerset. three others are proposed in suffolk, essex and oldbury, near gloucester. so lots more still to decide as far as consumption and energy provision in the uk. let's speak to david blackman from utility week, whojoins me now. are we expecting this just to be a suspension or an outright cancellation of this plan? hitachi in their draft statement have said

this is a potential suspension, but there will inevitably be concerned that suspension means cancellation. and some also suggest a suspension could be a way of negotiating with the government about how much money is involved, using it as a negotiating position to get more out of the government. is that how you see a? yes, there has been a great deal of haggling all along here. the government has already gone some way to accommodate hitachi's concerns by agreeing to take a potential stake in the project, something which goes beyond what the treasury would have gone for before. but there are other potential financing gone for before. but there are other potentialfinancing models gone for before. but there are other potential financing models out there which the government is exploring at the moment, and so this could potentially be seen as a negotiating ploy on behalf of hitachi. on the other hand, hitachi are under a lot of pressure withinjapan. their backers are uncomfortable with this project. i touched on it at the beginning, it would have provided or it will provide if it is built, 6%

of the uk's energy needs. it doesn't sound like a lot, but talked me through where we get that power from and why it is important in the mix of how we generate our energy. and why it is important in the mix of how we generate our energym and why it is important in the mix of how we generate our energy. it is pretty big chunk of our energy, a of our coal—fired plants are lot of our coal—fired plants are being phased out becausei lot of our coal—fired plants are being phased out because of climate change being phased out because of climate cha nge legislationgfiasetso needs be out by middle of ‘1': le:— “25.25.3154 a:‘: l‘.‘: ‘stung— . . u .. the ‘1'a le:— “25.25.3154 a.“‘: l‘.‘: ‘stung— . . u .. the century. ‘1'a le:— “25.25.3154 .a..-‘.' l.-..- ‘stnung— .. . u .. the century. so ‘1'a l.a aszeeaa a..‘ l.-..- ‘stnung— .. . u .. the century. so - really ‘1'a. l.a a.l..aaaa a." l.-..- ‘stnung— ... . .a a the century. so - really important ‘1'a l.a aaaaaa a." l.-..- ‘stnung— ... . .a a the c about so - really important ‘.'a l.a a.l..a=.aa a." l.-...- ‘stnulga‘a .. . .a a the c about nuclear really important ‘.'a l.a aaaaaa a." l.-...- ‘stnulga‘a .. . .a a the c about nuclear is ally important ‘.'a l.a aaaaaa a." l.-...- ‘stnulga‘a .. . .a a the c about nuclear is that mportant ‘.'a l.a aaaaaa a." l.-...- ‘stnulga‘a .. . .a a the c about nuclear is that it portant thing about nuclear is that it provides energy which is on thing about nuclear is that it provides energy wt instance, trying to push towards all trying to push towards renewa bles all trying to push towards renewables more. sometimes the wind doesn't blow, the sun doesn't shine. and that is notoriously the problem with renewables, great when they work and not when they are not generating. there is lots of controversy about nuclear, not least because it is nuclear, but also

there is a lot of investment upfront. a lot of the technology is not tried and tested, we have seen that with hinkley point, for example. there is also concern about how much it might cost us to buy this electricity once it is generated. why is this so hard to get right? these are very long-term, risky projects, fundamentally. they ta ke risky projects, fundamentally. they take many years to build. it takes several years take many years to build. it takes several yea rs before take many years to build. it takes several years before a single kilowatt—hour is being generated. so the financing and the risk is quite considerable. it is such an interesting issue. really nice to see you, thank you for explaining. we are expecting that announcement at 9am this morning, so bbc news will have that for you, about the future of that nuclear plant. would you like to hear a story about charlie and that horse in wales? who can say no to that? the story is that there are too many

overweight horses. they claim owners often can't tell when there is a problem, because overweight or obese has become the new normal. but you had an incident. yes, more comic than it was alarming, the horse i was offered because i was inexperienced was an extremely fat course which they said could daily run, and of course when i got on it could altered and went incredibly fast 1— could altered and went incredibly fast —— fat horse. it is not directly linked to the day's story, but it is an important issue. let's speak to jayne mccubbin now, who is at a horse rehoming centre in staffordshire. tell us a little more about the problems they are facing. good morning to you, good morning from me and maria. and this is an absolutely beautiful horse. seven years old and obviously she looks gorgeous to you and i. but she has actually got a really serious weight problem. it has been worse, though. maria is

from the re— homing centre. tell us a little bit more about her. yes, good morning. she is seven years old, she arrived at our centre four months ago, she came from a rescue background and arrived extremely overweight. and the team at the ce ntre overweight. and the team at the centre have been working hard to reduce her weight and prepare centre have been working hard to reduce herweight and prepare her for re— homing. reduce herweight and prepare her for re- homing. she looks perfectly gorgeous, but if you can't feel, in fa ct, gorgeous, but if you can't feel, in fact, or see a horse's ribs, there isa fact, or see a horse's ribs, there is a weight problem going on. let's chat to mark bowen from the british vetera n a chat to mark bowen from the british veteran a association. british equine veterinary veteran a association. british euuine veterina [m equine veterinary association. how serious the problem is this? obesity is becoming a leading cause of health problems for courses in the united kingdom. it leads to a number of concerns, but laminitis is the

most serious one, and that can lead to sometimes fatal lameness. about 600 horses every year put down just because of publications due to their weight. yes, the publications can be very serious. is this really about people thinking they are being kind but it is cruel? it is, there are a numberof but it is cruel? it is, there are a number of things that people are doing to promote kindness in their horses, they are doing what they think is best for the horse, but it is not. thank you so much, we will talk much more about this throughout the morning. i will leave you with a beautiful shot of revel on her diet and leave you with the news, weather and leave you with the news, weather and travel where you are waking up this morning. good morning from bbc london news. with half of all homicides in london this year related to domestic abuse, london assembly members are calling for serial offenders to be put on a register. they hope to put pressure on the government ahead of its draft domestic abuse bill. the assembly says it could work in a similar way to the sex offenders' register,

which allows police to hold information on repeat abusers. the fight to eliminate fatbergs which block up our sewers is to receive a boost with the launch of a new universal standard for wet wipes. they're said to contribute to the giant mounds of grease clogging the sewage system as they don't break down, and cost millions to remove. water uk, the industry body, says wipes will now need to pass strict tests to gain the approved logo, "fine to flush". every year, thames water customers flush millions of these things down the drains, and we clear around about 70,000 blockages from a network, the majority of which are a result of customers flushing the wrong things down the toilet. new cameras are being introduced at the rotherhithe tunnel next month to help enforce new rules. they're being installed to deter vehicles that don't meet the height, width and weight restrictions. officers have turned away

an average of 600 vehicles a day since september. drivers who break the rules could be fined up to £130. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, piccadilly line has severe delays from acton town to rayners lane and minor delays from circle, hammersmith and city and metropolitan lines. traffic on the a13 is building westbound from dagenham into barking. there is a lane closure on the anticlockwise m25 towards j19 watford following a breakdown, wih delays back towards j21 m1. in kings cross, euston road is down to one lane eastbound by kings cross station for water works, with delays back through the euston underpass. now the weather. hello, good morning. today will feel an awful lot colder than it did yesterday. now, it's already a chilly start, and there will be some showers around for a time this morning too.

and some of the showers could turn out to be wintry, so some sleet, even possibly a bit of snowfall, particularly over the higher ground, but it won't settle. it does look like it's going to stay dry for most of the day, though. there'll be some sunshine into the afternoon, but a rather chilly north—westerly wind blowing, so all the while feeling cold. watch out for some icy stretches towards northern home counties for a time this morning. there is a met office weather warning out for these. those showers will drift their way southwards, so it will turn dry, and there will be a lot of sunshine around for the second half of the day. a very chilly north—westerly wind blowing, though. those top temperatures only between two and four degrees celsius, that's a big dip on where we were yesterday, and of course it will feel colder than that with the added windchill. now, overnight tonight, there'll be a sharp, widespread frost developing. largely clear skies, temperatures in some of the rural spots could drop as low as minus four or minus five celsius. tomorrow, with a change of wind direction, it won't feel quite so bitterly cold. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning.

welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the ayes to the right, 306. the noes to the left, 325. cheering. dramatic scenes as the government survives a vote of no—confidence but parliament remains deadlocked over brexit. theresa may invites mps from all parties to downing street for talks — but opposition leader, jeremy corbyn, refuses unless no—deal is ruled out first. how cutting back red meat to one burger a week could save lives — and the planet. heading off dementia — a groundbreaking test for concussion in footballers. good morning. suspending the nuclear option. confirmation is expected this morning that hitachi will halt operations at a planned nuclear plant on anglesey. so what next for nuclear power in the uk? the spy master shows his

hand, marcelo bielsa — the boss of leeds united — admits that he's spied on every team hefsfacedso far this. season in pre—match analysis. good morning. it's a cold and frosty start to the day. for many of us it will be a sunny day. however, we still have some rain, sleet, and slow to get rid of any north and the east. i will have more in 15 minutes —— snow. good morning. it's thursday the 17th of january. our top story: theresa may has called on mp5 to "put self—interest aside" and "work constructively together" to find a way forward for brexit. the prime minister made a late night statement in downing street, just a few hours after her government survived a motion of no—confidence in another day of high drama the house of commons. a warning alex forsyth‘s report contains flash photography. the ayes to the right, 306. the noes to the left, 325. cheering.

it was a much—needed victory after a crushing defeat. theresa may supporters rallied around to see off a challenge to her government. butxbitter a way through, and she criticised the labour leader for not taking part. i am disappointed that the leader of the labour party has not so far chosen to take part, but our door remains open. it will not be an easy task, but mps know they have a duty to act in the national interest. earlier, jeremy corbyn explained his reason for refusing to meet. before there can be any positive discussions about the way forward, the government must remove clearly, once and for all, the prospect of the catastrophe of a no deal brexit in the eu. all round westminster, the different views remain firm.

party leaders who did meet the prime minister last night have their own demands for the basis of future talks. we have to have on the table a discussion on extending article 50, on having a people's vote option and on taking no deal off the table. there'll be plenty more activity in westminster today with more meetings between the government and mp5 as they try to build a consensus. but breaking the parliamentary deadlock will be far from easy. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. we can get more on this from our political correspondent nick eardley, who's live in westminster for us this morning. i think it is snowing now. i think so. we will get more from carol later. it is chilly outside. not sure what the atmosphere will be like in downing street when theresa may welcomes mps

like in downing street when theresa may welcomes mp5 from all—party. like in downing street when theresa may welcomes mps from all— party.” think for most of them it will be frosty. 1— think for most of them it will be frosty. —— all parties. when those talks start again in a couple of hours in downing street the big issue remains, which is that the vast majority of mps don't like theresa may's plan, but they have also not coalesced around another one yet. this is a huge challenge for the prime minister to try and get something that mps can get on board with. we know at this stage that the labour leadership isn't taking part, which is another problem for the prime minister. how do she win over labour mps when their leader says unless you take no deal off the table i am not going to ta ke deal off the table i am not going to take part in this? on monday she has to come back to parliament with a statement setting out what she plans to do next. that's not necessarily going to be a comprehensive plan b. but the additional thing to remember is that mps can change that statement. what you will start to see, i think,

statement. what you will start to see, ithink, on statement. what you will start to see, i think, on monday is mps putting on the table what they think should be done, the things they think would be better planned than the prime minister. all of this, of course, has to be, as things stand, delivered by the 29th of march. that is our departure date. there is no shortage of mps in that building over the road who are predicting that that date may not happen. ok. we will be talking to lots of them. lots from westminster throughout the morning. in the next few minutes we'll be talking to labour's barry gardiner and then at 7:20 we'll speak to the conservative party chairman brandon lewis. a team of international experts is calling for radical change to global eating habits to improve health and prevent potentially catastrophic damage to the planet. their report, published in the medicaljournal the lancet, calls for a huge shift from meat to vegetable consumption. they say it will be impossible to feed the global population in future without major changes to diet and food production techniques. let me make it a little more

concrete, it corresponds to roughly one fairly good—sized hamburger per week or, if you like, a big juicy stea k week or, if you like, a big juicy steak once a month. and so it's not eliminating red meat, by any means, it's treating red meat like i think about lobster, where i really like it, but i have it a few times a year not as an everyday food. premier league footballers are taking part in a ground—breaking new concussion study this season that could lead to pitch—side diagnosis. the research involves saliva and you're in samples being taken from players with head injuries and from uninjured control players by club doctors after matches. here's our sports news correspondent, david ornstein. it's a hazard of playing most sports, not least football, and as fears grow about the impact of concussion, medics believe they may be nearing a breakthrough that could transform how the problem is handled. following a decade of research, a new test has been devised to detect concussion through saliva and you're in and it's being trialled in the premier league this season. having a black and white test that gives you kind of a clear answer,

that's understandable to everyone — to medical staff, to players, coaches — is absolutely the holy grail. an objective test like this would be a game changer and would really help at all levels of sport. the idea is that once collected the samples would come here to birmingham for analysis and a clear diagnosis that can help determine the correct treatment and care. in time it's hoped this part will be eliminated, with the procedure instead taking place at pitch side. simon chadwick was a lower league professional in the 19805 who was forced to retire because of repeated concussions. although it was from six to 19. it was only a short space of time. but it might have been enough time to damage me for the rest of my life. for chadwick and many others the developments have come too late. but if these latest experiments prove successful, the current

and future generation should benefit as the fight against the curse of concussion continues. david ornstein, bbc news, birmingham. clothing retailers have been told to take immediate action to ensure items they advertise as containing fake fur are not made from real fur. the uk's advertising watchdog has given them a deadline of the 11th of february, after which they may face sanctions. last week the advertising standards authority found online retailer boohoo had sold a pompom jumper which used realfur, most likely rabbit fur. 60% of the world's coffee crops are on the verge of extinction, according to new research. scientists say over a hundred species of wild coffee plants are now at risk, due to habitat loss and climate change. whilst the majority of the world's coffee comes from two different crops, the wild species are vital for sustaining global supplies. a rare natural phenomenon taking shape in the us state of maine is mesmerising people around the world.

a giant slow—turning ice disc measuring around 91 metres wide has been evolving — and revolving — on a river in the city of westbrook. it's been likened to the moon, and an alien spacecraft. tim allman has more. it reminds me of the discworld by terry pratchett. # round, like a circle in a spiral. at the end of the presumpscot river. this is down to low temperatures and the simple flow of water. once you have some block of ice rotating because of changes in current across the river, it is just going to kind of get plenty of locals have come out

to witness this incredible sight, some comparing it to an alien spacecraft or the face of the moon. but time is not necessarily on their side, the disc only exists in a happy medium. if it gets much colder, the river will freeze completely and swallow it up. if it gets a lot warmer, the disc will break up and then melt away. for now, this is a revolution in ice — quite literally. tim allman, bbc news. in extraordinaire times it is lovely

to some see something like that. 1— extraordinaire times. so it looks like compromise is the name of the game if there is going to be any agreement over how the uk should leave the eu. however, theresa may's effort to get politicians to work together has got off to a shaky start — the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has so far refused to take part in any cross party talks unless the prime minister takes a no—deal brexit off the table. labour's shadow international trade secretary barry gardiner joins us now. a very good morning to you. thank you for your time. we are in a fast moving situation. has anything changed? moving situation. has anything changed ? we saw moving situation. has anything changed? we saw theresa may in downing street last night calling out your leader, jeremy corbyn, for not coming in for talks. has anything changed ? not coming in for talks. has anything changed? foot two years the prime minister has refused to engage, notjust prime minister has refused to engage, not just with prime minister has refused to engage, notjust with the official opposition, but the parliament itself. so we do welcome the fact that she is now opening the door to a conversation about how we get through this mess she has got us into. but i think we have two

understands that everybody in society, from the cbi to the trade unions, the ferry boat operators, to the farmers, they are all saying that no deal would be a disaster. indeed, the chancellor himself is saying the same thing to business leaders in his telephone conversation yesterday. so it is absolutely essential that theresa may show good 1— absolutely essential that theresa may show good —— shows good faith. up may show good —— shows good faith. up until now what she has tried to do is use the stick of no deal as a way of bullying parliament into accepting her bad deal. the parliament was in full by that. parliament was in full by that. parliament said no, by the largest majority it has ever shown in defeating a governor 1— majority it has ever shown in defeating a governor —— full. this is an historic failure on the part of the prime minister. whatjeremy corbyn is saying is, ok, if you do wa nt to corbyn is saying is, ok, if you do want to widen the negotiations, to show that you want to engage properly with mp5 across the

31731; then, i properly with mp5 across the 7g then, great, parliamentary divide, then, great, but, first of all, we must remove this, what would be a disaster, that we are currently spending hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer's money on that could be better spent going into public services. just to be clear, your leader will not sit with theresa may. your phone rings... he will. as it stands he won't. that's correct, yes? every party leader has said we want to know deal off the table as well. dem% the snp, the !:l.a=-.:.! ne—u—é- ‘.'l.a 1.1.3.3.— eee‘ they have 333113 333'3331'131.333 3333 333133 3333331333 .333 3333 in there. jeremy's holding trooped in there. jeremy's holding to the principle that all the rest of them agree with and they are all saying the same thing, but we in the labour party are saying, look, you have to show good faith. at the moment you are saying i and keeping all my red lines, but i want you now to come in and tell me how i can get my deal through with all my red

lines... i'm going to interrupt you there. he said the same thing twice. all those people you are quoting, other party leaders, have or are going in for discussions and, to a degree, with the greatest respect, does it not make mr corbyn look a little churlish that he is not prepared to do the same thing? can i ask you, at the same thing, you, barry gardiner, if your phone rings and it is your counterpart in the government saying i want to have a chat with you, are you allowed to talk to anyone in the government? look, we operate is as a party that works in terms of collective responsibility. so the answer to the second question is i would not be conducting separate negotiations with liam fox, no, of course not. we have a party position and that's clear. now, in respect of the other

question that you put, what we have isa number of question that you put, what we have is a number of other party leaders who are not sticking to the principle that they have espoused. they have said that they want no deal taken off the table and that would be a condition of getting anything you through. jeremy is actually sticking to his principles, you know, and many of us would be saying, actually, that is what he a lwa ys saying, actually, that is what he always does and that is why people in this country respected. you could look at it that way. the other way to look at it, i don't know who you talk to outside westminster, people are saying, to all politicians, get together and do some talking. what i am not clear about is if two years ago theresa may has had tojeremy corbyn, let's sit down at the beginning of the process, would he have said yes, and if he had said yes, you forget about the two years that have passed me get on with what is happening right now and you have a meeting. it doesn't make any sense

apart from making some kind of point of principle and making a statement of principle and making a statement of some kind not to do it. no, you have got this back to front. we set out very clearly the view that we had about brexit. it was very in our manifesto in 2016 that we wa nted very in our manifesto in 2016 that we wanted the benefits of the customs union, that we wanted to have a close alliance with the single market, and that we wanted to protect writes in the workplace and environmental standards and protections. we set that out and thenjeremy at protections. we set that out and then jeremy at the party conference last year made the offer to theresa may. he said if you will move your red lines, if you will engage with us around this basis, then we will work with you to get a deal that parliament can accept, across the aisle we will work with you to make sure that we get that deal through. ifi sure that we get that deal through. if i may ask you one more... for two

yea rs if i may ask you one more... for two years she has kept out not only the opposition but parliament itself. we had to argue at every stage, whether it was the triggering of article 50 parliament being 3“?— a i it was the triggering of article 50 parliament being 3“?— a say, and parliament being allowed a say, looking at the economic impact assessments, even the legal advice, eventually she had to give way on every single thing, but parliament she was keeping a difference, 1— keeping at a distance, and well, show us your good faith. make sure that you take this threat to the british public off the table. that's all she needs to do. one more question, i am just going to interrupt you now, if i may. the danger of all this is, on this principle of not engaging with theresa may unless she takes no deal of the table, isn't there a real danger if she sticks to her guns and if you don't get a general election and a second referendum, that the

labor party is always going to be saying things on the sidelines and not directly involved in what is going on? and that could be how history looks back on this. let me tell you why that is not the case. next week on monday the government will have to bring back the parliament its proposals. at that stage there will be a series of amendments tabled from all quarters in parliament which are amending, after we have looked at the proposals she has put forward, that will look at the way forward. parliament will then take a view on each of those amendments. so actually there is a perfectly proper parliamentary process which will now ta ke parliamentary process which will now take effect, where parliament ex presses take effect, where parliament expresses its view about what might be able to be a compromise here. so the idea that this is forever going to go into stalemate is simply not the case. but look, let me reiterate, i welcome the fact that the government is at last showing signs of wanting dialogue. the chancellor himself has said that no

deal should be off the table. we've heard that members of the cabinet are saying that if it went to no deal, they would think about resigning from the cabinet. so the only reason that theresa may is not prepared to do this at the moment is that she knows that the only way to get a deal through parliament is to break some of her red lines, to change those. what she knows that if she changes her red lines, she brea ks she changes her red lines, she breaks the conservative party. and that's the point. she knows that the erg will deserve her, and that is the dilemma that she finds herself in. we are operating in the good of the country, not in the good of the conservative party. i very much appreciate your time this morning. thank you. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, all. we have some snow in the forecast today. you can see this lovely weather watcher‘s picture sent in by mimi in

aberdeenshire. there is four centimetres of lying snow in parts of aberdeenshire, and wherever you are with a widespread frost, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. it will be cold and sunny for many, a mixture of rain, sleet and snow in the forecast. you can see where they have been falling we have some moving steadily southwards into the south—east. a plethora of wintry showers across northern and eastern scotla nd showers across northern and eastern scotland and coming down the east coast of england. through the day, asa coast of england. through the day, as a ridge of high—pressure built—in, the winds will ease and the cloud will build on the west ahead of the next weather front. for now, we still have that mixture of rain, sleet and snow pushing across the south—east. we also have the snow showers coming in across northern and eastern scotland. you could see one or two bits of wet snow across northern ireland, and again some snow showers coming in off the north sea along the east coast of england, where there is still a brisk wind. away from all of that, look at the amount of sunshine

we are going to enjoy today. it will feel cold, and once again as the weather front approaches from the west, the cloud will start to build, turning the sunshine hazy initially across northern ireland. temperature—wise, we are looking at about three to five, but if you are standing in the wind it will feel much colder than that. it will feel closer to freezing. heading on through the evening and overnight, once again we will have the snow showers for a time. they are showers, so not all of us will see them. then the temperature after sunset will drop rapidly. we are looking at a widespread frost, the risk of ice once again. but looking out towards the west, the cloud will build the head of the weather system, here is the weather system. it will produce rain. we could see some snow in northern ireland, possibly even some transient snow at lower levels. that is how we start tomorrow, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of cloud that further east you travel. as this weather front comes in, with its rain, he bumps into the cold, we could see snow

across western england and wales. a lot of this could be in the hills, but we could see some in lower levels. and behind, noticed the temperatures. something milder is coming our way. as this band of rain continues with its snow to push eastwards, the snow will turn back to rain. sunday is looking rather messy, one or two rainy showers. the brightest skies will be in the north and north—west of scotland and the south—west of england also favoured for some brighter skies, but you will also have some showers. for some brighter skies, but you will also have some showersm for some brighter skies, but you will also have some showers. it does certainly look very chilly, it is about time, i suppose. it has been quite mild. yes, i agree. yes, i know, i know, iwill accept it. confirmation is expected this morning that a planned nuclear plant on anglesey will be suspended. ben has more on that and the other main business stories. yes, we expect that news around 9am this morning. good morning. the future of one of the uk's planned nuclear power plants is in doubt this morning.

there were japanese media reports last week that hitachi, the company behind the wylva newith project on anglesey, was rethinking its involvement there. a formal announcement later is expected to confirm that the company is suspending work at the plant. the £16 billion project was intended to provide powerfor 5 million homes and create up to 8,000 jobs. pub and hotel chain whitbread says like for like sales were down 0.6% in the third quarter of the year. the firm also completed its sale of costa coffee to coca—cola ahead of schedule. it sold the coffee giant for £3.9 billion. but the firm warns it is cautious about its prospects for the year ahead, given uncertainty and higher inflation. sales at primark were up 4% over the last quarter compared to the same time last year, thanks to a rise in the number of new stores it opened. the amount of money it made on each item also went up,

with higher profit margins. the discount clothing chain says fewer people shopped in november, but sales over the christmas period exceeded its expectations. you've just got to look at me and not the pictures. how much shopping do you do on your phone or tablet, maybe on the bus or train on the way to work? new figures show shopping on your phone is now more popular than going to a shopping centre, with 58% intending to buy something that way this year, with an estimated £25 billion being spent via our phones. i don't know about you, do you do much on your phone? i find the screen a bit small. i have a big screen. just for shopping on your phone? no, for watching stuff. we tend to think you browse things on your phone and you do the big purchase when you get home or when you get to the office. no, all on my

phone. it is staggering. it is dangerous. can be an expensive habit. as we have been reporting this morning, the prime minister has told mps they must work together to deliver on the referendum result. so what will theresa may be willing to compromise on to get a deal through parliament? conservative party chairman brandon lewis joins us now from westminster. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. it is going to be a busy next three days. let me put that question to you. what is theresa may prepared to compromise on in order to get this deal through? good morning, yes, it will bea through? good morning, yes, it will be a busy few days. we had a busy few days at the beginning of this parliamentary session as we did at the beginning of the last one. the prime minister has been very clear, there are some clear principles we need to deliver on in leaving the european union, delivering on the referendum as well as the general election outcome, but we recognise that parliament has outlined what it

doesn't want. what we are going to look at the next few days, with collea g u es look at the next few days, with colleagues on our side and across the floor of the house, are some of the floor of the house, are some of the technical things that colleagues do want to see, things that we can genuinely negotiate with the european union so we get a good deal for this country as we leave the eu. what are they, then? what are the things that you think are able to be compromises on or negotiated?m terms of what they are, we are waiting to hear what people across the floor say. we have to see what our colleagues in the house of commons come up with. you must have an idea of what could be negotiated with the eu. there are some absolute red lines, aren't they are? there are some absolute no—no is. but what areas have you got an indication of that could be negotiated on? well, you have been reporting on this over the last few months and your viewers will have seen a range of ideas and thoughts put forward by people across the house of commons. it is a whole range of things, actually. but we have to be very clear that there are some key principles we have to deliver on to make sure we are

respecting that referendum result. but we are open to seeing what people want to see that they may well get a majority in the house of commons but things that we can reasonably negotiate with the eu. 0k, reasonably negotiate with the eu. ok, iwant reasonably negotiate with the eu. ok, i want to talk to you about who will be negotiating and who is talking injust one moment. butjust to pursue this, let's talk about the backstop. lots of people are talking about a compromises on the backstop. can you explain what possible compromises their could be, or have actually there is no compromise to be had? well, partly you are telling me to answer exactly where the eu will end up and that some we have to wait and see. in terms of the backstop, what colleagues have been outlining in the house of commons over the last few days of the debate and before that is this issue around whether we can exit the backstop or whether we can exit the backstop or whether it is something that could become indefinite. there was a bit ofa become indefinite. there was a bit of a debate around this on monday this week. there were some amendments put forward which were not good for debate, so we weren't

able to go into detail about. that may be part of the conversation we will have over the next couple of days and we will see where we get to with the european union. ok, we spoke to barry gardner from the labor party just a spoke to barry gardner from the labor partyjust a few minutes ago. he the point that theresa may is now asking for all mp5 to work constructively together, to come together in order to find some sort of compromises on some sort of negotiation. yet she refused to engage from 2016 with other members of other parties, despite being requested to. for two years she has kept out the opposition, parliament itself, she has kept it at a distance. why now do this? when she had the chance over the last years, and wouldn't need to be at this point? well, there is an argument that would be a reasonable point to make except for two key things. firstly, it is to be not true. the prime minister has been on the floor of the house of commons, i would think you would find, more than any prime minister of that timeframe, asking your mac answering questions

in debates, listening to what other people have been putting forward. ruth davidson in 2017 called for cross— party ruth davidson in 2017 called for cross—party talks on brexit, that was not heard. i was going to say, if you look at that, let's be frank. it isa if you look at that, let's be frank. it is a mixture of two things. the labour party have set out this six piece test that was given a pretty colloquial description in terms of how appropriate it was, which i think outlined their lack of genuine desire to have a proper conversation. and evenjust last night that was reinforced where jeremy corbyn himself effectively refuses at the moment to have that conversation. so i don't think they are acting in good faith. i think barry is very eloquent with words but the reality of where labour has been is quite different. and we are quite clear, conversations have been happening overnight and will

continue into today. we do want to talk around the house of commons about some of the ideas that they may have which are genuinely negotiable within the realms of delivering on the referendum. and of course, the general election in 2017 as well. without jeremy corbyn at the table, do you think theresa may can present a credible plan b on monday? well, the prime minister has said she will make a statement on monday. we will be talking to people. we hope that people from all parties will partake in this, and at the moment it seems to be that labour and jeremy corbyn, the leader of labour, playing games on this. to be clear, jeremy corbyn has been clear in saying if no deal is not taken off the table he will not participate in these talks. so... let's be very clear. he has also set out these six tests, which were rubbished by barry gardner is making sure that nothing could happen. if he was serious about these conversations he would want to go into the technical details. the best way to ensure no deal is for us to agree a deal with the european union, and that is in the interest of our country and delivers on the referendum. can ijust ask of our country and delivers on the referendum. can i just ask you, of our country and delivers on the referendum. can ijust ask you, i said theresa may would come back on monday and present plan b. you said she would make a statement. is she

or is she not presenting plan b on monday? yes, when i say making a statement, it will be an amendable motion, so we will look to outline the next that's going forward. thank you very much, brendan lewis, chairman of the conservative party, joining us from westminster. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. with half of all homicides in london this year related to domestic abuse, london assembly members are calling for serial offenders to be put on a register. they hope to put pressure on the government ahead of its draft domestic abuse bill. transport for london says it can't confirm when customers will be able to use the woolwich ferry again. it had been due to reopen in december, but that has now been delayed. two new boats are needed to make services more reliable. there also need to be improvements to the pier.

she is celebrated for her work on the stage and screen, but vanessa redgrave says she felt compelled to step out of her comfort zone for her directorial debut. herfeature documentary sea sorrow looks at the refugee crisis. it has a special screening in london this evening. the actress has drawn links with the help she was given as an evacuee during the second world war. i have a whole lot of putting myself in the forefront of film, for instance, unless i am being paid for it and playing a character. but with my history, i really had to, because people would understand a little bit better if they heard about my story. it is my story was the story of all the london children. evacuees, we we re the london children. evacuees, we were called. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, piccadilly line: severe delays from acton town to rayners lane, and minor delays

on metropolitan line. on the roads cam in kings cross, euston road is down to one lane eastbount by kings cross station for water works. the camera is showing the delays which are back through the euston underpass. on the m25 there's a lane closure clockwise just afterj8 reigate, with delays back thoruth7 m23, following a second collision in the area. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today will feel an awful lot colder than it did yesterday. now, it's already a chilly start, and there will be some showers around for a time this morning too. and some of the showers could turn out to be wintry, so some sleet, even possibly a bit of snowfall, particularly over the higher ground, but it won't settle. it does look like it's going to stay dry for most of the day, though. there'll be some sunshine into the afternoon, but a rather chilly north—westerly wind blowing, so all the while feeling cold. watch out for some icy stretches towards northern home counties for a time this morning. there is a met office weather warning out for these. those showers will drift their way southwards, so it will turn dry,

and there will be a lot of sunshine around for the second half of the day. a very chilly north—westerly wind blowing, though. top temperatures only between two and four degrees celsius, that's a big dip on where we were yesterday, and of course it will feel colder than that with the added windchill. now, overnight tonight, there'll be a sharp, widespread frost developing, largely clear skies. temperatures in some of the rural spots could drop as low as minus four or minus five celsius. tomorrow, with a change of wind direction, it won't feel quite so bitterly cold. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. theresa may has called on mp5 to "put self—interest aside" and "work constructively together" to find a way forward for brexit. a warning there's some flash photography coming up. the prime minister made a late night statement in downing street, just a few hours after her

government survived a motion of no—confidence in another day of high drama in the house of commons. theresa may also met with party leaders including the snp, plaid cymru and the liberal democrats but the labour says they won't meet until no—deal is off the table. and every other party leader, ironically, has said we want to know deal of the table as well. so the liberal democrats, the snp, the welsh nationalists, but they have trooped in there. jeremy's holding to the principle that all the rest of them agree with and they are all saying the same thing, but we in the labour party are saying, look, you have to show good faith. surveyors and estate agents say the outlook for the uk housing market over the next three months is the worst it's been for 20 years, because of uncertainty over brexit. the royal institution of chartered surveyors says the proportion of its members who think sales will drop has risen to its highest level since it started keeping records.

but forecasts for the year as a whole are more positive, once people have more clarity around the uk's departure from the eu. it's a hazard of playing most sports, not least football, and as fears grow about the impact of concussion, medics believe involves a n involves an into place. scientists hope it will allow concussion to be diagnosed more quickly and accurately in the future. he has been seen in beijing airport and is expected to arrive in the western night. the two nations have beenin western night. the two nations have been ina western night. the two nations have been in a stalemate sincejune when their first meeting been in a stalemate sincejune when theirfirst meeting in been in a stalemate sincejune when their first meeting in singapore

wielded indifferent results. clothing retailers have been told to take immediate action to ensure items they advertise as containing fake fur are not made from real fur. the uk's advertising watchdog has given them a deadline of the 11th of february, after which they may face sanctions. last week the advertising standards authority found online retailer boohoo had sold a pompom jumper which used realfur, most likely rabbit fur. you are not familiar with the lam not you are not familiar with the i am not familiar with that pom-pom? i am not familiar with that particular product. i like what you gaveit particular product. i like what you gave it french accent. ligue un. we liked the pom—pom. so long as it is fa ke liked the pom—pom. so long as it is fake fur. hello, sally, how are you? be next story is a little bit like

inspector clouseau. if it is buying or good research? it is beyond meticulous obsessive research. good morning everyone. the leeds united head coach marcelo bielsa has admitted they've spied on every team they've faced this season. he called an unexpected press conference yesterday — and he ran through everything he learnt from his spies. the efl and the fa are already investigating an incident last week where a leeds member of staff was caught watching derby train before a league match between the two teams. however, bielsa says he's done nothing illegal. translation: in a few words i can tell you that i observed all the rivals we played against and we watched all the training sessions of the opponents before we played against them. well, frank lampard refused to go into detail

about bielsa's press conference before their fa cup third round replay at southampton instead choosing to focus on the game. it seemed to work as they came back from two goals down at st mary's to knock saints out on penalties.. their reward is a fourth round trip to accrington stanley. you have to be proud when your team plays like that. it shows character and quality throughout the game against a premier league team. we have done it a few times now. the fa cup is special, it's magical, to come away and play the way they did makes me proud and delighted for our fans who came to watch. they were two of the greatest players in premier league history and now thierry henry and patrick vieira have faced each other as managers for the first time. henry — who's in charge at monaco — welcomed vieira's nice side for the match in france's ligue un. and they could not be separated, the game ending one all despite nice playing the entire second half with ten men.

former great britain track cyclist jess varnish has lost her employment tribunal after failing to prove she was an employee of british cycling or uk sport. varnish claimed she was dropped from the british cycling squad for the 2016 olympics in retaliation for criticising her coaches. british cycling maintains she was dropped on the basis of performances alone. it means varnish is unlikely to be able to pursue a claim for unfair dismissal and sex discrimination against the organisations. later this morning, england boss eddiejones will name his side for the upcoming six nations — ireland and scotland named theirs yesterday with the defending champions announcing that forward iain henderson is included, having recovered from a thumb injury that was expected to rule him out for most of the tournament. ireland will begin their title defence at home to england on the second of february. scotland head coach gregor townsend

has included three uncapped hookers in their squad for the six nations: jake kerr, dave cherry and grant stewart. four other uncapped players have also been given the call up for their campaign which starts against italy at murrayfield. the nba arrives in london tonight with the washington wizards facing the new york knicks at the o2 arena. a lot of the build up has been dominated by the absence of the knicks' star player enes kanter who refused to travel to the uk because of fears over spies after he criticised the government in his home country of turkey. here's his team—mate allonzo trier. i don't think it has affected us. but it will be hard for us not having one of our best players with us. you know what enes brings to the basketball team. we have been without him for a couple of games now. we will play the wizards without him. judd trump is safely through to the quarter—finals of the masters snooker. he beat last year's finalist kyren wilson by six frames to two at alexandra palace in what was a bit of a grudge match

with both players admitting they don't get on with each other. scotland's stephen maguire by the same score. century breaks on his way to victory. and finally, you sanudd trump beating kyren wilson at the masters there but there was rather strange moment which stopped play at ally pally. have a listen to this. whistling sound. cattle's brood! 1— cattle's brood! —— kettle. ithink be kettle as boyle. we're not quite sure what the sound was, with commentatorjohn virgo suggesting it may have been

you for your time. one thing people really don't like is being told what to eat. what are you telling them that they should be eating? good morning. hello. the question we were set is is it possible for everybody on the planet, that is 10 billion people in 2050, to have a healthy and tasty diet without exceeding environment are limits. so we defined what that healthy diet would look like according to the best of new science and we tested it against planet through boundaries. and, really, this is good news. the a nswer really, this is good news. the answer is we can do it. so what does that mean, i guess, in terms of how we might change what we eat and, as you say, it would require quite a lot of big changes for any loss of

people. we are looking at a diet thatis people. we are looking at a diet that is really flexor terry on. it is not faddy. it is something your doctor would have recommended to you any time in the last 20 years 1— flexitarian. it is like a mediterranean or japanese diet. flexitarian. it is like a mediterranean orjapanese diet. many people in the uk this could involve some drops in meat consumption, the suggestion of one helping of red meat per week. but a very colourful plate. arcoplate filled with vegeta bles plate. arcoplate filled with vegetables and a healthy consumption of whole weeds, beans, and nuts. 1— half a plate. when you say one portion of red meat a week. it is any kind of red meat. that could be mincemeat, it could be something like a lasagne. we are talking all of those areas. yes. by talking red meat we mean cows and sheep, these

are the most climate change intensive animals. they are really good for the planet in some ways, they graze the kind of lands were we can't grow crops. so we do need some of them. and by eating them we are also keeping the planet healthy. it's just we need to keep the amount is quite small. if we say one portion, it could be one hamburger per week or one small stake or a bmb per week or one small stake or a lamb chop. what have you like, really. what about the other areas? you talked about fish, for example. are there restrictions about how much fish we should eat, given the bigger picture? well, most people should be eating more fish for health reasons, but they should be getting it for from 1— but they should be getting it for from —— from somewhere else. we are recommending 10% of fishing areas be reserved for other purposes. that means more fish from fish farms. so what is at stake here? when people say, do you know what? i am not

going to do what my doctor tells me to do, i will carry on as i was. what is at stake, if you excuse the pun? that's absolutely fine. solving the energy problem in getting off fossil fuels is still the most important solution for climate “aaa-3311.3 aa!.:‘.’ia-a.£a.-...-!i-.-..~.§1a111 11 .. ..... 1 a 1 .. “aaa-3311.3 aa!.:‘.’ia-a.£a.-...-!i-.-..~.§1a111 11 11 11111 1 11 1 .. but food “aaa-3311.3 aa!.:‘.’ia-a.£a.-...-!i-.-..~.§1a111 11 11 11111 1 11 1 a but food isn't far behind. change, but food isn't far behind. what is at stake change, but food isn't far behind. wh. going stake met mag agreement, these changes in our 333333 "333.535 “a333 3‘3‘533 13133r= —— meet the paris it our future i at stake. at is really our future is at stake. at the same time, it is not bad news. eating in a healthy way is really good fun and is catching on with everybody. thank you very much for your time this morning. it is one of those things that... i don't know, i nearly did another awful pun.” those things that... i don't know, i nearly did another awful pun. i am still laughing at what is at stake. it is food for thought. charlie. i shall be having a banana in a few

minutes' time. followed by a massive lunch. you might need a big lunch with the weather today. look at that, you couldn't paint that is, really. see that glow over the horizon? that lovely blue sky. it is going to be cold. you need to wrap up this morning. that is all true. and i was just about to say that as the weather and i will be back with more in15 weather and i will be back with more in 15 minutes. many of us is a cold and frosty start. the risk of ice on untreated surfaces but for most of the uk today will be a sunny day. however, there are still some wintry showers and the forecast. a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. you can see on the radar picture where we have had the rain, sleet and snow overnight. it is being pushed south ona

overnight. it is being pushed south on a key northerly wind. is this area of high pressure builds in through the day the wind speed will reduce and the showers will start to fade. in the next weather system introduces more cloud. this morning we still have that mixture of rain, sleet and snow pushing south. further snow showers on a northerly wind across northern and eastern scotland. one or two across northern ireland, west wales but more across eastern england and a weather front as we pushed down into the south—east of producing that mix of rain, sleet and snow. even in devon and cornwall we could see some sleep first thing. through the day, a lot of those showers will tend to fade. the wind will ease. we are looking ata the wind will ease. we are looking at a beautiful day if you like blue skies, and later on we have a weather front coming in from the west introducing a bit more cloud, turning the sunshine hazy. temperatures today between three and five but if you are exposed to the wind it will feel closer to freezing. through the evening and overnight we will see the wintry showers for a time but they are showers for a time but they are showers so not all of us will catch

one. at sunset the temperatures will drop and we are looking at the cold est drop and we are looking at the coldest night of the week with the widespread frost. out towards the west weather front arrives, bringing some rain with it and some snow at times, possibly even at lower levels, but it will be transient. we start off tomorrow with clearer skies, a frosty start, the risk of ice, and as the weather front is from northern ireland in the western parts of scotland, england and wales and bumps into the cold air once again, we will see some snow on its leading edge. like today, a lot of the snow will be in the hills but some of it will be at lower levels. temperature—wise, ahead of it are looking at three to five, so still cold, but behind it, milderareas following. you will find at lower levels increasingly the snow will turn back to rain. saturday is a messy picture, the brightest skies in the north and north—west of scotland. some sunshine in the south—west but you are more likely to see some showers. a few showers

around, a lot of dry weather and a grey and chilly day. and then on sunday we start off with a lot of cloud. that will break through the day. we will see some sunshine, a new front in the north—west introducing rain and hill snow and it still will feel a bit on the nippy side. thank you very much. if only you knew the shenanigans that we re only you knew the shenanigans that were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying to were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying to think were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying to think of were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying to think of a were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying to think of a nice were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying to think of a nice link, were going on here. we are trying to get a picture of a horse. i was trying to think of a nice link, did you ride when you were younger?” would have said nay, i didn't. you are full of puns today. this is the reason why, taking a look at this lovely beauty. vets say half the horses in the uk are now overweight. and this is one of the horses being held at the moment, although on the face of it you would say that the horse doesn't look that overweight. it felt a little bit like we were that shaming the horse while it was

on the scales. 1— that shaming the horse while it was on the scales. —— fat shaming the horse. i would like to be seen being weighed on national tv on a story about that things, good morning.” know, things you never thought you know, things you never thoughtyoo say on national television, we would say on national television, we are not that shaming revel. we are not. 1— are not that shaming revel. we are not. —— fat shaming. however, i would like you to see revel‘s spotter, and revel looks perfectly gorgeous when you see her from the front and from the side, but when you see her bottom, you get a sense of actually how wide shears. just as in the human world, in the horse world, there is a problem with obesity. we are having a laugh about it, but it is really serious. about 50% of horses are overweight, seriously so, obese. about 70% of ponies are obese. let's chat to maria. tell us, she is getting

impatient, how heavy is revel right now, how heavy was she when she came in? she was 560 kilograms when she arrived. she is now 550 kilograms. so she is slowly losing weight but we are looking to get her around the 450 kilograms mark. she wants to move, doesn't she? let's stay with a shot of revel. i will chat now with mark bowen, from the british equine veterinary association. how serious the problem is this, and what is it down to? it is down to simple things, overeating and not doing enough exercise. but obesity is a leading health and welfare concern which leads to significant health concerns like laminitis, a severe form of lameness that can sometimes be fatal. it is down to people wanting to feed their horses too much food. most horses can live just off grass, they don't need additional feeding, off grass, they don't need additionalfeeding, but especially

through the winter people want to feed their horses, it gives them a feelgood factor when they feed their horse, it is the time the horse trots over to them, they socialise with their owners at that time which gives them a psychological reward and they keep feeding their horse. they feed their horse excessively and the horse becomes fat. let's get revel to spin around so we can get a good look at her. mark, show us how you would know if your horse was overweight. so revel has some fat pads in her neck, some fat pads over her shoulder, and importantly we should be able to feel her ribs across here. we can't feel them at all, even if i press really hard i can't feel them at all. we would like to see them, but i suspect revel‘s genetics mean we will never see her ribs. and across her bottom, this valley with large fat pads either side. these are the things to look out for, to identify the signs

of obesity, and the sooner you start to identify these signs, the sooner you can start to do something about it, reduce the food intake and start increasing the amount of exercise your horse is doing. can ijust increasing the amount of exercise your horse is doing. can i just tell your horse is doing. can i just tell you something else you should look out for, wendy? wendy, the camerawoman, is allergic to horses. this is what else you should look out for. this is what i have just some of them, people. never mind, 1— just stood in. you say most horses are not underweight and malnourished, but overweight. absolutely, we are seeing more and more horses being overweight in our blue cross centres as opposed to underweight horses. it is something we are working towards combating using diet and exercise to help with the weight loss. speaking of exercise, let's get revel on the move again. come on, revel. have a look at her, she is absolutely beautiful. but she is rather too

large. at bottom is rather too big. and this is a really serious issue, so you can't be cruel to be kind, there is a phrase in the world of horses called a good dewer. a good dewer is when you are prone to carrying a bit of weight 1— dewer is when you are prone to carrying a bit of weight —— doer. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. with half of all homicides in london this year related to domestic abuse, london assembly members are calling for serial offenders to be put on a register. they hope to put pressure on the government ahead of its draft domestic abuse bill. the assembly says it could work in a similar way to the sex offenders' register, which allows police to hold information on repeat abusers. transport for london says it can't confirm when customers will be able to use the woolwich ferry again. it had been due to reopen in december, but that has now been delayed.

two new boats are needed to make services more reliable. there also need to be improvements to the pier. she is celebrated for her work on the stage and screen, but vanessa redgrave says she felt compelled to step out of her comfort zone for her directorial debut. her feature documentary sea sorrow looks at the refugee crisis. it has a special screening in london this evening. the actress has drawn links with the help she was given as an evacuee during the second world war. i have a horror of putting myself in the forefront of a film, for instance, unless i'm being paid for it and playing a character. but with my history, i really had to, because people would understand a little bit better if they heard about my story. because my story was the story of all the london children. evacuees, we were called. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, the piccadilly line has severe delays from acton town to uxbridge, and there are minor delays on london overground. in kings cross, euston road is down to one lane eastbound

by kings cross station for water works. the camera is showing the delays which are back through the euston underpass. the m25 is down to three lanes anticlockwise heading out of j27 m11, following a collision, with delays towards j28 a12, with traffic taking nearly an hour to get through. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today will feel an awful lot colder than it did yesterday. now, it's already a chillier start, and there'll be some showers around for a time this morning too. and some of the showers could turn out to be wintry, so some sleet, even possibly a bit of snowfall, particularly over the higher ground, but it won't settle. it does look like it's going to stay dry for most of the day, though. there'll be some sunshine into the afternoon, but a rather chilly north—westerly wind blowing, so all the while feeling cold. watch out for some icy stretches towards northern home counties for a time this morning. there is a met office weather warning out for these. those showers will drift their way southwards, so it will turn dry, and there will be a lot of sunshine around for the second half of the day. a very chilly north—westerly

wind blowing, though. top temperatures only between two and four degrees celsius, that's a big dip on where we were yesterday, and of course it will feel colder than that with the added windchill. now, overnight tonight, there'll be a sharp, widespread frost developing, largely clear skies. temperatures in some of the rural spots could dip as low as minus four or minus five celsius. tomorrow, with a change of wind direction, it won't feel quite so bitterly cold. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the ayes to the right, 306. the noes to the left, 325. cheering. dramatic scenes as the government survives a vote of no—confidence but parliament remains deadlocked over brexit. theresa may invites mp5 from all parties how cutting back red

the prime minister made a late—night statement in downing streetjust a few hours after her government survived a motion of no—confidence in another day of high drama in the house of commons. a warning alex forsyth‘s report contains flash photography. the ayes to the right, 306. the noes to the left, 325. cheering. it was a much—needed victory after a crushing defeat. theresa may's supporters rallied round to see off a challenge to her government, but bitter divisions over brexit still remain. the prime minister offered to meet other party leaders to try to find a way through, and she criticised the labour leaderfor not taking part. i am disappointed that the leader of the labour party has not so far chosen to take part, but our door remains open. it will not be an easy task,

but mps know they have a duty to act in the national interest. earlier, jeremy corbyn explained his reason for refusing to meet. before there can be any positive discussions about the way forward, the government must remove clearly, once and for all, the prospect of the catastrophe of a no deal brexit with the eu. 3.1.1 .:1a13 133333333331.u. 1:;., party leaders who did meet have their own demands we have to have on the table a discussion on extending article 50, on having a people's vote option and on taking no deal off the table. there'll be plenty more activity in westminster today with more meetings between the government and mp5 as they try to build a consensus. but breaking the parliamentary deadlock will be far from easy.

alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. we can get more on this from our political correspondent nick eardley, who's live in westminster for us this morning. iam i am looking at the weather behind you and it is looking a bit grim. i wonder what the picture is likable to theresa may as she tried to go ahead with these talks. 1— to theresa may as she tried to go ahead with these talks. —— what the picture is like for theresa may. they start in around an hour. as things stand at the moment, the prospect for success looks pretty grim as well. the labour leader is not taking part because the prime minister will not rule out no deal. some of those who have had talks already with the prime minister are attaching conditions to taking part in more formal talks over the next few days. things like extending article 50, and potentially even another referendum. the big problem is that the prime minister faces is the problem she has faced all along,

which is that there are wildly different views of what brexit should look like. trying to reconcile the views of her own party with opposition parties is going to be an extraordinarily hard task. she has to think of something to say on monday when she will return to parliament to give a statement on the next steps in the brexit process , the next steps in the brexit process, with less than 70 days to go process, with less than 70 days to 9° by process, with less than 70 days to go by the time she does that. many mps will try and attach conditions then to whatever she is proposing to say i have a better idea than the prime minister and this is what we should do instead. that is likely to include things like another referendum, potentially. potentially a closer relationship with europe than what the prime minister wants.

potentially a more distant relationship with the european union. remember, all of this is supposed to be sorted by the 29th of march. that is the planned departure date but already there is a lot of speculation in westminster that might have to be moved back because of the impasse here. thank you. a team of international experts is calling for radical change to global eating habits to improve health and prevent potentially catastrophic damage to the planet. their report, published in the medicaljournal the lancet, calls for a huge shift from meat to vegetable consumption. they say it will be impossible to feed the global population in future without major changes to diet and food production techniques. let me make it a little more concrete. it corresponds to roughly one fairly good—sized hamburger per week or, if you like, a big juicy steak once a month. so it's not eliminating red meat, by any means. it's treating red meat like i think about lobster, where i really like it, but i have it a few times a year not as an everyday food. the future of one of the uk's planned nuclear power plants is in doubt this morning.

hitachi, the company behind the wylfa newydd project on anglesey, is said to be rethinking its involvement there. a formal announcement is expected later. our reporter tomos morgan is there now. good morning. this project, hitachi have already poured hundreds of millions of pounds into this project on the north coast of anglesey, but the money could be the reason behind the money could be the reason behind the announcement that we will probably get later today that the project will be stalled. it is estimated to cost somewhere in the region of £20 billion. let me put that into context. the economic value of the island of anglesey is £1 billion, said the project is 20 times larger than that. it is more than the cost of crossrail and more than the cost of crossrail and more than half the cost of the brexit divorce bill. hitachi are also looking for securities from the uk government but they have not been

able to get them. theresa may was criticised last week after she met with her japanese counterpart criticised last week after she met with herjapanese counterpart and it was not discussed, the future of the wylfa n ewyd d was not discussed, the future of the wylfa newydd project. but some people have said that this announcement later today, that it could be stalled, isjust announcement later today, that it could be stalled, is just delaying the inevitable, and the 9000 jobs promised here may not even happen at all. thank you. that announcement will be later today. 60% of the world's coffee crops are on the verge of extinction, according to new research. scientists say that more than 100 species of wild coffee plants are now at risk due to habitat loss and climate change. whilst the majority of the world's coffee comes from two different crops, the wild species are vital for sustaining global supplies. a rare natural phenomenon taking shape in the us state of maine is mesmerising people around the world. a giant slow—turning ice disc measuring around 91 metres wide has been evolving and revolving on a river in the city of westbrook. tim allman has more. the thing about nature is it never

fails to surprise you. # round, like a circle in a spiral. # like a wheel within a wheel. # never ending nor beginning. # on an ever—spinning reel. here in the city of westbrook, one of the most unusual and spectacular sights you could ever imagine. slowly, ever so slowly, this giant disc of ice rotates at a bend of the presumpscot river. this is not the creation of man or woman or beast. in current across the river, it is just going to kind of get gets knocked off, and eventually you have this perfect spinning disc. plenty of locals have come out to witness this incredible sight,

some comparing it to an alien spacecraft or the face of the moon. but time is not necessarily on their side. the disc only exists in a happy medium. if it gets much colder, the river will freeze completely and swallow it up. if it gets a lot warmer, the disc will break up and then melt away. for now, this is a revolution in ice — quite literally. tim allman, bbc news. that looks amazing. it reminds me of terry pratchett‘s discworld. premier league footballers are taking part ina ground—breaking new concussion study this season that could lead to pitch—side diagnosis. the research involves saliva and urine samples being taken from players with head injuries and from uninjured players by club doctors after matches.

we'll discuss this in more detail injust a moment, but first here's our sports news correspondent, david ornstein. it's a hazard of playing most sports, not least football, and as fears grow about the impact of concussion, medics believe they may be nearing a breakthrough that could transform how the problem is handled. following a decade of research, a new test has been devised to detect concussion through saliva and urine and it's being trialled in the premier league this season. having a black and white test that gives you a clear answer, that's understandable to everyone — to medical staff, to players, coaches — is absolutely the holy grail. an objective test like this would be a game changer and would really help at all levels of sport. the idea is that once collected, the samples would come here to birmingham for analysis and a clear diagnosis that can help determine the correct treatment and care. in time it's hoped this part will be eliminated, with the procedure instead taking place at pitchside. simon chadwick was a lower league professional in the 19805

who was forced to retire because of repeated concussions. although it was from six to 19, it was only a short space of time. but it might have been enough time to potentially damage me for the rest of my life. for chadwick and many others the developments have come too late, but if these latest experiments prove successful, the current and future generation should benefit as the fight against the curse of concussion continues. david ornstein, bbc news, birmingham. joining us now is one of the researchers, patrick o'halloran from birmingham university, and dawn astle, the daughter of former england striker jeff astle, who died as a result of a brain disease which is believed to have been caused by multiple concussions. very good morning to you both. this is very personalfor very good morning to you both. this is very personal for you and your family, isn't it? just tell us what

your understanding as a family is of the link with concussion and what happened to jeff. the link with concussion and what happened tojeff. my dad was diagnosed with early onset dementia when he was only 55. he had scans and things at the hospital which showed that the brain cells at the front of the brain were dying. the dementia itself, particularly with my dad, was very, very aggressive. he died only four and a half years later at the age of 59, which was horrendous. he actually choked to death in front of us. you can't even put into words what that was like. it was just horrendous. hugely distressing for the family. presumably since then and during that time you have asked a lot of questions about what might have caused it. yes. it came... ten years

after my dad died. he would have been dead 17 years this saturday. in the ten years after he died we attended at burton on trent, and her majesty's coroner, andrew haigh, said that my dad's occupational exposure to heading footballs had made at least a significant contribution to the disease that had caused his death, and the guy who did the original postmortem on my dad's brain said that his brain looked like the brain of a boxer. he said that it was the repeated heading of footballs during my dad's career that had caused this. and the ruling, and it was a landmark ruling at the time, was industrial disease. in other words, my dad's job at the time, was industrial disease. in other words, my dad'sjob had actually killed him. before we talk to patrick about what can be done

now in terms of identifying injuries from concussion, have there been any conversations in your family, from concussion, have there been any conversations in yourfamily, with your dad, before he was playing, afterwards, saying that can't have been good for me? i don't think so. iam not been good for me? i don't think so. i am not old enough to remember my dad in his prime unfortunately. i know there was one time when west bromwich albion won the fa cup in 1968 and they got through to the european football, as they do now, and we played a team called bruce, and we played a team called bruce, and my dad was kicked from pillar to post, and he was kicked unconscious, in the head. 1— post, and he was kicked unconscious, in the head. —— bruges. he came round in the ambulance. it was the only time he was knocked unconscious, from what my mum had said. but what he and a lot of other players' families have said, when the old leather ball was wet, it was like heading a bag of bricks. and we know that in rugby particularly

there have been real moves to try to safeguard any players who have been injured but what can be done in terms of identifying concussion at pitch side now? yes, at the university of birmingham, with great support from the drake foundation, we are running a study to try and work out how concussions are diagnosed in premier league football at the moment. the premier league doctors association is supporting us and collecting information about what tools are being used and how that diagnosis is being made. and what impact can new technologies like video replay at the pitch side and live samples make? so you can tell just from swabbing a and live samples make? so you can telljust from swabbing a player who has had a knock and seems dizzy and has had a knock and seems dizzy and has just been knocked over, has had a knock and seems dizzy and hasjust been knocked over, you can tell from their saliva that they are concussed? based on the work that we have done so far, that is what we think. a saliva sample rather than a

swab. we have done work to look at what markets are there in concussed athletes and healthy athletes and we think we can identify markers that will tell us that. a lot of this will tell us that. a lot of this will depend on decisions made on the pitch. who's responsibility is this? the referee? looking out for players who are showing signs? are there indicators ahead of the tests? making a diagnosis of concussion is a challenge in that kind of environment. you have people who are potentially showing obvious signs that you have seen, potentially think they are telling you, that it rests on the player to engage with you and give you the information you need, and there is pressure from the referee and the coaches to get on with the game. really it is all of our responsibility but the athlete will often put the needs of the team as their priority and it is ourjob as their priority and it is ourjob as doctors in sport to look after their welfare. you are thinking the same thing? your dad would never

have given up. i hate to speak for him, that he would never have given up him, that he would never have given up his passion for the game and the team. that is right. i think the key about all of this is informed choice. i know that being a footballer killed my dad and it is on his death certificate but there are so many other former footballers with this type of dementia, being caused by playing the game they loved. without research and without studies to make this link, players today and players in the future can't make informed decisions about whether they still want to be a footballer. there will be people playing this weekend, and is it your fear that that is happening under our own eyes that we are not doing anything currently? there most definitely has not been enough done by football, the fa or the pfa. it is 17 years since my dad died and

there. thank you for sending in their weather watchers pictures. as a lwa ys their weather watchers pictures. as always they are spectacular. it is cold and frosty so watch out for ice on untreated surfaces vesting. it is going to be dry and sunny for most of the day. further wintry showers coming in across northern and eastern scotland and a little band is thinking south, this is where the front, which will clear in the next few hours. so what - all of that few hours. so what does all of that means. the of ina in a northerly which is brisk, it is which is brisk, it i: the& mostly over the 31,3322”: ' mostly over the hills, 33.3333 77”: mostly over the hills, and .e 311 ireland, mostly over the hills, and also cornwall. more prolific across the north—east and north—east england and continuing to push

have that cold and frosty start with a risk of ice and a brighter start further east. as the weather front comes in from the west bringing rain, it bumped into the cold air and we will see some snow across parts of scotland, northern england, wales and into the south—west. most of this will be over the hills that we could see it at lower levels. look behind it at the temperatures, which are coming up. as this pushes east through the day, the snow at lower levels will turn back to rain. thank you. it is 8:22am. we've heard a lot about the politics of brexit in the last few days, but how have developments impacted the economy and our finances? ben's here to tell us. you have been looking at who has been saying whatever madness u nfu rls. been saying whatever madness unfurls. the chaos has meant that a lot of us have taken our eyes off the state of the economy. i have the unenviable task of making sense of what the markets make of all of this. given all that we have heard not only with brexit, but with

profit warnings from big organisations, big retailers particularly over christmas, global trade wars with the us and china, all of that having a big impact on the value of the economy. i am going to start with the pound. that is the immediate thing which tells us what the money markets make of the state of our finances. this the money markets make of the state of ourfinances. this is the money markets make of the state of our finances. this is what has happened since the referendum vote in 2016. pretty volatile that you can see a big slump after the vote to leave the european union. it felt pretty sharp and it has been volatile ever since. of course that means that by the end of the year the pound was worth 7% less than it was at the start of the year. but all of us, 7% more expensive to import things from overseas, and it makes our holiday and travel overseas not expensive and our money goes less far. you might expect given the volatility of the last couple of days that the pound might have reacted but you would be wrong. it has been pretty volatile. this is

since yesterday. just as red as it was green, up since yesterday. just as red as it was green, up and down. it ended the day pretty much where it started but why? the bank of england governor has one theory about why that might have happened. that rebound would appear to reflect some expectation that the process of resolution would be extended and that the prospect of no deal may have been diminished. be extended and that the prospect of no deal may have been diminishedm what else is happening? so much as has been drowned out by the brexit chaos, hasn't it? inflation is one that we look at closely. that is a measure of how quickly prices are rising for all of us on goods and services. it is actually slowing to 2.196. services. it is actually slowing to 2.1%. that is a remarkable slowdown.

it is the lowest level in two years. it is the lowest level in two years. it is the lowest level in two years. it is coming down mainly because of the cost of fuel falling, and we know that the fuel cost means that goodsin know that the fuel cost means that goods in shops cost less because they have got to be transported. an slowing inflation means the prospect of another interest rate rise are getting further away. there are likely to be modest interest rate rises over the next few years. half a percentage point, possibly up to one percentage point if the economy performs better than expected. but it should be relatively modest. in terms of timing, markets are beginning to think that there is interest rate rise will be pushed from the spring into the autumn or even the latter part of this year. it is all very well looking at what is going on in the markets, but that seems to be over there, so how is that

affecting us and my purse, your wallet? there are worries about slowing consumer spending, and christmas was a bit better than many retailers thought that they are worried about what happens next. there are lots of concerns over how they will fare over the course of that year if we rein in what we are spending. one important study in december showed that confidence was ata december showed that confidence was at a five year low among consumers. yesterday a survey of how much we spend on credit and debit cards over christmas fell, rolling at its fastest rate since april. 1— christmas fell, rolling at its fastest rate since april. —— falling at its fastest rate since april. there are lots of ifs, buts and maybes about what we have in our pocket and how confident we are about spending it, but one thing we do know is that brexit will have a huge impact on the state of the economy, like it or not, good or bad, in or out, what that might look like. trade deals, the state of our economy, and certainty for business isa economy, and certainty for business is a real concern. it shows that people and businesses are just saying pause when it comes to

finances and spending. we are not going to put our hands in our pockets without more certainty. thank you. it is a 20 6am and time for the news, travel and weather where you are. 1— for the news, travel and weather where you are. —— 8:26am. hello there, good morning. it's a much colder start to the day than we've had in recent days. there's been a widespread frost, we've had some ice across northern areas this morning, and it's going to stay cold all day today, with some wintry showers for some of us. we've got a weather front moving its way south—eastwards at the moment. behind that, where the air is coming from, all the way from the north, and that wind is going to be with us through the course of today. this morning, we start off with a few wintry showers across south—eastern areas. those mostly clearing away. still the risk of some snow showers, even down to low levels in the north—east of scotland this afternoon. perhaps one or two wintry showers down the eastern side of england. for most of us, though, it's

going to be a dry and sunny day. lots of blue skies around. maximum temperatures, though, only about 316 degrees. later on today, we'll see the cloud just increasing a touch across northern ireland. that cloud will continue to thicken up into the west, but otherwise, though, clear skies tonight. it's going to turn cold and frosty for all of us. look at the blues — there widespread across england, wales and scotland. temperatures down to —1 to —4dc. not quite as cold in northern ireland, and that's because we've got this next weather system pushing its way in. as that weather front moves into the colder air, we're going to start to see the risk of some snow, mainly over the higher ground of south—west scotland. eventually some snow falling over the higher ground of wales as well. there could be some sleet, and it's down to low levels as the day goes on. the cloud generally increasing across central areas, but towards the far east it's going to remain dry and there will be some sunshine.

temperatures here about 315 degrees celsius. otherwise, towards the west those temperatures about 6 or 7 degrees. then into the weekend it stays pretty cold. it will be quite a complicated mixture of some cloud. there will be a little bit of rain at times as well. some of that could be wintry for some of us. just stay tuned to the forecast. bye— bye.
