along with the planet itself, around four and a half billion years ago. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. how long will the big chill continued? it has taken a while to get going, this winter. but it looks like it will continue. temperatures have dropped away. some of us have even had the chance to see some snow. this is how it looked earlier in shropshire. we started the day very cold. hence the thermals. look at these temperatures. —11 in some parts of scotland. a band of rain coming in on a weather front. parts of scotland. a band of rain coming in on a weatherfront. some sleet and snow as well. especially over high ground. a little bit to lower levels. this will continue through the afternoon. g skies i through the afternoon. bright skies in north—east scotland. for western rain close to the coast.

scotland, rain close to the coast. lower levels we might see some at lower levels we might see some snow mixing in. similar in north—west england. northern ireland drying up in the afternoon. snow in parts of wales. rain across the south west of england because here it is turning milder. it stays dry for a good part of the afternoon in east anglia and the south—east. this evening and tonight we take the patchy rain with some sleet and snow mixed in. it pushes further east. ft showers pushing across the south—west. with the extra cloud and milder air, it will not be as cold as it was. one to 5 degrees in many places. what we are left with tomorrow is an uninspiring day. a lot of cloud. dribs and drabs of rain and drizzle. maybe the odd fla ke rain and drizzle. maybe the odd flake of something sleety. the best chance of sunshine tomorrow across the north of scotland. temperatures in the far south—west of england get to 10 degrees in plymouth. elsewhere, grey and damp and chilly. some subtle changes for the second

half of the weekend. the winds switch more easterly. drier air of the continent. what's the cloud break up. more clear skies on sunday. consequently i am hoping more of us will see some sunshine on sunday. a band of cloud, patchy rain, hill snow sunday. a band of cloud, patchy rain, hillsnow in sunday. a band of cloud, patchy rain, hill snow in the north sinks south—east as the day wears on. temperatures still struggling. five to8 temperatures still struggling. five to 8 degrees. then we go into next week. don't take anything you see on this chart to literally. it looks like we will see frontal systems putting in from the atlantic. quite u nsettled. putting in from the atlantic. quite unsettled. we stay in the cold air, particularly as the winds switch around from a north—westerly direction to a north easterly direction. what does this mean as we go into next week? you have probably worked it out. it is looking cold. for some of us at least there is likely to be some snow. winter is set to some sunshine on sunday would be

nice. i will take that. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime: the duke of edinburgh's recovering at sandringham after the car crash which has left him shaken but physically unhurt. that's all from the bbc news at one. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon. here's your latest sports news. we start with the main upset today at the australian open and defending champion caroline wozniacki has been knocked out, by maria sharapova the five—time grand slam winner — who returned from a doping ban in april 2017 and has struggled with injuries since — took the first set 6—3. wozniacki broke sharapova's serve in the final game of the second set to level the match, but sharapova edged a tight third

to secure what she said was a "really rewarding" victory. i thought it was as usual, as expected a physical match. as expected, a physical match. it didn't have to be in some way, but i feel like even in the longer rallies i did a greatjob of winning those. i put a lot of pressure on her and those are the rallies i think many years ago that she used to win. i thought i did a great job of getting a higher privileges of wins on those. and birthday girl angelique kerber thrashed australian wild card kimberly birrell 6—1, 6—0, injust 58 minutes. the former world number one turned 31 today. 2009 champion rafael nadal is through to the last 16. though there was lots of support for his opponent — 19—year—old australian alex de minaur, who's one to watch for the future. despite the backing of the home crowd, nadal won in straight sets. he'll play tomas berdych on sunday.

defending champion roger federer is also through to the 11th round beating american taylor fritz. afterwards he addressed the issue of players having to play in the early hours of the morning — after britain's johanna konta, said was it a danger to players‘ health. her defeat a to garbine muguruza finished after 3am in the morning. is it ideal? no. sometimes what can you do? if you schedule a match especially a men's match before and that thing goes for five hours. it can happen, as we saw. they played a great match. i don't know what other choices you have. you could move them to an outside court but the atmosphere might be quite sad. britain'sjo pavey has been speaking about her decision to target a record—equalling sixth olympics at tokyo 2020 — at the age of 46. the only other british track and field athlete to compete

at that many olympic games, is javelin thrower tessa sanderson. realistically, i want to try and get in the team and if i did achieve that, i'd give it my absolute best. of course i'm probably at the stage where my fastest times are sort of behind me but it is still a realistic goal. if i was lucky enough to be selected, i would put everything into its to perform the best that i could, because you just feel such an honour to represent your country. england women's boss phil neville belives the 2020 ahead of this summers world cup in france. tee eeee ha; 955:- elef-f-ee 51125; and neville has nothing but eréiee 9? his exesrienge: — training an unbelievable facility.

the facilities what we have seen, they are going to be amazing. i remember when they won the beard and people were saying how are they going to put on the world cup? i knew from visiting the country it could be something really special. the proximity of the facilities here, the unbelievable warmth of the people, means it could be one of the greatest world cups of all time. judd trump and mark selby are currently battling it out for a place in the semifinal of the uk masters snooker. they are currently in the first frame. we can see the live pictures, no frames on the board. you can watch the match on bbc two now — or via the bbc sport website. i'll have more for you in the next hour. three men have been sentenced to life in prison over the death of five people in an explosion in a shop in leicester in february last year.

our correspondent phil mackie has been watching proceedings in court and joins from outside leicester crown court now. the sentence just happened. we have sentences of life for the three people convicted last month of five murders as well as charges. one has life with the minimum term of 33 yea rs. two life with the minimum term of 33 years. two others got life with the minimum term of 38 years. you will remember the explosion. it was in february last year on the hinckley roadin february last year on the hinckley road in leicester and there was a shop on the ground floor and a 2—storey flat above. the building collapsed during the explosion and subsequent investigations determined there had been a deliberate plot by there had been a deliberate plot by the three men to try to make an insurance claim against the building. they had used 45 litres of

petrol and barbecue fluid and other accelera nts petrol and barbecue fluid and other accelerants which they placed in the basement of the shop. they must‘ve the four who were killed, mary, her sons shayna sean and shane's girlfriend leah. and the fifth victim was in the shop because she was part of the plot. they decided to kill her to keep her quiet. it happened around 7pm on sunday. the building completely collapsed. today we have heard statements from some of the relatives of those who died. the man who lost his wife and sons said his day change for ever. he said his day change for ever. he said our hopes and dreams have been taken away by what happened and they did not deserve what happened to them. we heard from an emotional

mother of leah, who said the light had gone out of their world for ever. they say they have a leah shaped hole in their hearts. and we heard from the daughter of the lady who was killed in the shop and she said she wanted to apologise to otherfamilies. said she wanted to apologise to other families. they have said she wanted to apologise to otherfamilies. they have become quite close. jose spent christmas with the other families where scotti who survived the explosion, pulled from the rubble, 15 at the time. we heard a statement from the other victim in the attack, a man seriously injured, who suffered traumatic brain injuries and a fracture to the skull, neck, face and pelvis. he suffered life changing injuries. they resume in a little while to discuss

commendations for the police investigating and two members of the public who bravely stepped in to rescue scotti and look after the man injured. scotti was pulled out of the building just before it went up in flames. saved by the people who we re in flames. saved by the people who were there. we expect at some stage this afternoon a statement from the families to be read out on the steps of the court. i will remind you of the sentences. these are life sentences, minimum tariffs. two each serve a sentences, minimum tariffs. two each servea minimum sentences, minimum tariffs. two each serve a minimum of 38 years in prison and another, 33 years. let's return to our main story — the duke of edinburgh's car accident near sandringham yesterday. we've been speaking to roy warne, who was one of the first people who stopped at the scene after the accident. mr warne described the moment he pulled the duke from

overturned land rover. i cannot remember the words, but it was of a person who was obviously in some shock. you had his blood on your hands? one of the royal people gave me a wipe, it wasn't much. how did you get him out? iam not i am not sure. the door was underneath. what i thought was door was the roof. it was through 90 degrees, so i'm not sure whether it was from the corner of the windscreen or the sunroof. the windscreen was totally smashed? it was badly splintered, but it was still in place and i prised it from the corner and freed it from the joint. do you know anything about the duke being breath tested? i have read in the press that both of the drivers were tested and they were both negative results. did you see the tests?

no, i did not. how was the lady? obviously shocked for her child. was it the mother with the arm injury? either her or a relative. two women in there and my main concern was the other car, because there was a lot of smoke around it and i thought the tape might go up or something. whatever the other car was. the one with the baby in? you were there first? yes. your first thing was to open the door and get the baby a boy or girl? g: jlanyoneuacastcl

yes, but he is a very old man and he was obviously shaken up and he responded as you would imagine him to respond. speaking about his involvement in that accident and the aftermath, helping to recover the duke of edinburgh from his car yesterday. if you are a passenger on northern rail you are likely to have faced delays, disruption and ticket price hikes and nearly two years of strikes. tomorrow, marks the 45th day of action by the rmt union. jayne mccubbin has been finding out what impact the action has been having on rail users and businesses. morning! morning. we are setting off with the mad ramblers. mad by name and by nature. yes, we are the mad walkers — the manchester and district 20s and 30s ramblers group. the train strike? yes. mad about that as well? yes, it has been somewhat inconvenient. precisely.

we can't get there. this group is half as big as it used to be. it has been that way since northern‘s saturday strikes began last september. ijust want them to be over. edale train station, usually full of weekend walkers, is empty today. only those who drive have made it out. walk up into the brisk air of the peak district and the rail strikes are notjust some distant city centre inconvenience. their impact is far—reaching. train there, not a passenger one, obviously. obviously. where do you normally start, ollie? manchester piccadilly, or picket—dilly. picket—dilly? yeah. we have worked around it an awful lot with car shares and what have you, but it is not ideal. we are rambling on, as it were. they are able to ramble on. good luck with the walk! but businesses in the area are limping on. it has had a really bad effect on us.

thousands of pounds bad. we get a lot of ale trails, hen nights and stag nights, all doing the ale trail. they stop off at each village, have a couple of beers and then get on the train and go on again. we have missed all that this autumn. a lot of local businesses, the cafes and fish and chips, are suffering because of the lack of people coming on the train on saturdays. but this strike dates back much further than last autumn. these pickets have been going on for almost two years now. this is the post at the centre of the strike. unions want to protect safety critical guards. northern say this post needs modernising. we will still have a driver on every service and a second member of staff on every service in the future, the same as we do today. what we are looking to do is change how we use them so we have more time with the customers for that person who is there in addition to the driver.

northern say half of all journeys in the country operate under this system. the rmt believe they're being dishonest, saying this is about spending more time with customers. instead, they say it is about cutting costs. it's quite clear that the government are in cahoots with the train operating companies and they want a completely de—staffed railway. they don't want guards on services. they don't want staff on stations. talks have stalled. strikes will continue until at least the end of the month. northern have applied to the government to have the cost of these strikes reimbursed. these businesses, though, have no hope of recouping what they've lost. like commuters, they just hope it ends soon. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. in a moment, we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news: three men who murdered five people after setting a building on fire in leicester have been sentenced to a combined total of 109 years in prison. more details emerge about the duke of edinburgh's car crash near sandringham yesterday. police say there was a baby

in the back of the other vehicle and one woman suffered a broken wrist in the collision. patients complain of delays in getting painkillers and anti—depressants as pharmacists warn of shortages of common medicines. in the business news: electric cafmg'égr' tezlfhayzamt after the "most challenging" year in its history. founder elon musk said that while growth at the firm had been strong, its cars were still "too expensive for most people". ryanair says profits are going to come in below what it estimated and it's blaming lower—than—expected air fares.

the airline's chief executive, michael o'leary, said there were too many planes on short—haul routes in europe this winter. what makes netflix so successful? well its film bird box with sandra bullock had 80 million members watching it in its first four weeks. you, a new thriller tv series, was watched by more than a0 million members in its first four weeks. it's pouring money into new productions too. profits are rolling in. the fourth quarter of last year saw it making profits of more than $4 billion. even so the markets had been hoping for even better numbers, and the shares fell away after the numbers were released. and netflix is also going to be putting up its prices. tom harrington, enders analysis. it is difficult to fault netflix. it is growing, it is creative and popular. what possibly can go wrong? at the moment, it is going

incredibly well. i guess the biggest problem for them our competitors coming over the hill in the next year with disney, apple, warner, nbc, universal with a new service but, at the moment, it is growth and growth in terms of subscribers for netflix, not just in growth in terms of subscribers for netflix, notjust in the us, where it has plateaued slightly but outside the us they are forging ahead. what about putting up prices? it isa ahead. what about putting up prices? it is a dollar or two month. would that have an effect? when you consider on average us people are paying around $100 a month for cable tv, a dollar here or there probably will not make a massive difference. except for netflix, bringing in maybe an extra billion a year. the other thing, that is a dollar, $2 extra, that happy customers will pay

because they are getting a great deal but that is $2 they could be paying for other services when they arrive this year. how competitive is it to get the talent to produce the kind of stuff that is such a hit? does it get more expensive? is there a pool of people, talent they could use? you probably know the answer, if you want great talent you pay for it. one thing that has happened with netflix splashing the cash is it has raised the amount everybody is paid for content. for netflix, increasing how much they spend every year, which is not a big deal, but traditional broadcasters pay the same on content yet in and out and thatis same on content yet in and out and that is a problem. dominated by half a dozen other enormous companies, i suppose there is no room for small players? in the us, there are three

major players and over here, there are three major players. here it is 1.3 accounts in homes that subscribe. in the us, a little more, because people are moving away. if you are not one of the big three, you are not one of the big three, you have to be very special to attract the attention of subscribers. thanks. and some other stories in the news today. british businesses trading on amazon have been advised to take steps in preparation for a no—deal brexit to ensure they can continue selling to customers in the eu. the online retail giant has informed uk sellers no deal "may temporarily prevent cross—border trade." amazon said sellers should now consider sending stock to its european "fulfilment centres", or warehouses. germany is considering ways to block huawei from its next generation 5g mobile phone network, according to reports. the chinese company, one of the world's biggest producers of telecoms equipment,

has faced resistance from foreign governments over the risk that its technology could be used for espionage. huawei has denied claims it poses a spying risk. nissan and mitsubishi have said former chairman carlos ghosn received "improper payments" totalling just under £7 million from a joint venture between the carmakers. mr ghosn has been detained since november on charges involving financial crimes. the profit warning i mentioned earlier, easyjet. and this that includes british airways and iberia moved up. doing well in this market. the ftse up. again, that is a lot to do with slightly easier, well, more optimism about brexit. let's put it

like that. a baby born on boxing day and given just five weeks to live, just five weeks to live needs a new heart — and doctors say they have just two days to find a donor. three—week old carter cookson has suffered three cardiac arrests and is on a life—support machine. doctors at newcastle's freeman hospital have advised the family that a new organ must be found in the next 48 hours. carter's father, chris cookson, stepped away from his son's bedside this morning to speak to the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire programme. he appealed to other parents to think about organ donation. by ten o'clock at night, everything went downhill. they found something wrong with his heart, he was ventilated, he was rushed to the freeman hospital and when he was in the freeman, he nearly had three cardiac arrests. for any parent it is devastating. they had to put a pacemaker into his heart because his heart was racing from zero to 300. when the surgeon went

into his heart, the left ventricle was dead tissue, which means his heart cannot pump blood around his body. i am appealing to anybody out there who is in a horrible, horrible situation, and the consultants, or doctors have been told that there is no chance of life. their son or daughter is not going to get better. it is a plea to join organ donation, and there is a chance their heart may keep my son alive. i hope somebody watching this... if they are in that position, to make the greatest sacrifice to put their child on the organ donation list, or get in touch with a consultant, somebody to say, "i want to step forward." becauase if i do not win this fight to get my son heart,

i will be doing the same. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good afternoon. it feels like a winter has arrived at long last. some cold weather to content with so far today. some have seen snow. this is how it looked in wales earlier. we started the day very cold. parts of scotla nd we started the day very cold. parts of scotland down to —11. into the cold air, we have brought a weather front which means we have seen rain and as it bumped into the cold air, we saw sleet and snow, especially but not exclusively over high ground and that weather continues to move eastwards this afternoon. north—east scotla nd eastwards this afternoon. north—east scotland holding on dry and bright weather but in western scotland, some show, weather but in western scotland, some snow, especially over high

ground and some of it on low levels may be through the central belt. it should not cause issues. and across north—west england, wales, and the south—west of england seeing mostly rain. brightening up from the west. turning dry in northern ireland as the day wears on. tonight, continuing to take cloud and rain and sleet or snow mixed in. pushing further eastwards but with the extra cloud, not as cold as it was last night. what it leaves us with is an uninspiring day tomorrow with cloud and the odd spot of rain and drizzle. the best chance of sunshine across the north of scotland and the best temperatures in the south—west of england where we could get into double digits but for the majority, temperatures are going to struggle. some subtle changes into the second half of the weekend because the wind

becomes more easterly, which will bring drierair becomes more easterly, which will bring drier airfrom the consonant and the cloud will break up. more clear skies and so i'm hopeful sunday will bring more in the way of sunshine. a fly in the ointment, the wea k sunshine. a fly in the ointment, the weak weather front bringing cloud and rain and maybe hill snow in the north which will move south east as sunday wears on. temperatures still struggling. and next week, - it struggling. and next week; wheeit is weather systems will shows is weather systems will push in from the atlantic. it will with wet weather at times. will i with wet weather at times. stay in cold air, we willstayin cold air, , . ~ particularly as we switch wind direction to more of a north—easterly wind. what did these ingredients make? as we head into next week it looks like it will stay cold and for some, there will be some snow. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm reeta chakrabarti. today at two... three men are jailed for life for murdering five people in an explosion at a shop in leicester a year ago — in an insurance fraud.

it is still not real, if you know what i mean. we know she is gone but to see her walk out of the house and never see her again... the duke of edinburgh is recovering after a car crash yesterday left him shaken but physically unhurt — police say there was a baby in the back of the other vehicle and two women required hospital treatment. i helped him move his legs, which were a bit trapped. it was all a bit crushed and then i saw his face and i realised who it was.
