number of older patients are lots of young children is likely to be brought up is, but the royal college of gps said some areas are struggling shortages, describing the differences as shocking and a risk to patient care. for the areas that are to patient care. for the areas that a re really to patient care. for the areas that are really struggling the most, we need extra coverage right now. we cannot wait for the doctors in training to come to the many years of training that it takes to train to bea of training that it takes to train to be a registered gp. we've had enhanced training schemes which are great and which are helping, but we also need to look much more widely at the problem. in short term, there are other healthcare professionals who can support and help out the gp. nhs england says there are other healthcare professionals working alongside gps in primary care and an extra £45 billion is being invested as part of the images's long—term plan. similar data is not available for scotland, wales and northern ireland, but gp recruitment is known to be problematic across the uk.

nick triggle, bbc news. donald trump and kim jong—un will meet for a second summit at the end of february, to build on their historic first meeting in singapore lastjune. the white house said that they would discuss the denuclearisation of the korean peninsular. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher has the details. the white house said the summit would take place the end of february that it did not say where, although vietnam's seems to be at the top of the list of possible occasions according to multiple ports. the announcement was made after series of meetings with the north korean envoy, kim yong—chol. —— reports. beginning with the secretary of state mike pompeo and then moving quickly the white house, whether president met for 90 minutes of mr kim, who is said to be carrying a personal message from the north korean leader, kim jong—un. personal message from the north korean leader, kimjong—un. so personal message from the north korean leader, kim jong—un. so they agreed to hold a summit that there was no indication how that summit break the deadlock in nuclear

killing at least 20 people and injuring dozens more. according to the state governor, local residents were scrambling to steal some of the leaking oil when they were engulfed in flames. he said 54 people had been taken to hospitals with burns. the cause of the leak is unclear. donald trump says he will make a major announcement about the current government shutdown during an address to the nation this afternoon. the president is not expected to back down from his demand for a border wall with mexico, but could offer the democrats some concessions in an attempt to get talks underway. the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, will say today that it's up to parliament to end the deadlock over brexit. in a speech in london, he'll say there are no easy ways out of the impasse, but that solutions could emerge if there's an "open and frank debate". last night, the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, wrote to theresa may to explain why he has refused to attend cross—party talks. he said her decision to rule out a customs union, the cost of car insurance

=e w-ww eww eeeeeee ewee ,, ,,, in two years, according to a new report from the aa. it's blameing a number of factors, including uncertainty over brexit. here's andy moore. the aa says the price of car insurance has been generally falling for the last two years, but figures for the last two years, but figures for the last quarter show an increase for the first time since 2017. an annual comprehensive car insurance for someone who shops around stands at £610, that is a 2.796 around stands at £610, that is a 2.7% increase on the previous quarter, but it is still 5.9% less than a year ago. younger drivers face an average premium of £1317. there are several reasons premiums are reported to have risen, they included delay in the new law on claims for whiplash and a higher

price of imported car parts, which push up the cost of any repair. the aa also blames a general concern about brexit, saying the market has had to battle with a fall in the value of sterling. the association of british insurers say car insurance remains extremely competitive, insisting the cost of most premiums is falling. andy moore, bbc news. the latest work by graffiti artist banksy, which appeared on the side of a garage in port talbot in december, has been sold for a six—figure sum. it's wales's first banksy, and the new owner says it will stay put for at least two years. 0ur wales correspondent sian lloyd has been to find out more. they're still coming to see this banksy, even in the rain. since it first appeared on the side of a port talbot garage, more than 20,000 people have been to visit.

but now, this work has been bought by an essex—based art dealer. i think this is a phenomenal picture by banksy. it sums up, in a — in one small area, so many things about social society. the image has attracted attention from people across the world, and made an impact on the local community. when i was a child, you had to bring your washing in on certain days because of all the pollution from the steel company — you'd get smuts all over your washing — so that really speaks to me. i think it's brilliant to bring people in and also to get the people — the good people of port talbot talking about art. we're going to move it from here to protect it, take it into the middle of town, i'm going to bring up about half — four, five, six other banksy pieces tojoin it, so that it becomes a magnet for tourists to port talbot. the price that's been paid for it remains under wraps. sian lloyd, bbc news, port talbot. it will remain there for two years at least. good.

a third of uk travel agents and tour operators are in danger of going out of business, according to research for radio 4. it found some high street operators had failed to keep up with technology, and uncertainty over brexit was also a factor. samantha fenwick from you and yours has more. quite a few pictures and drinks on here. yes. there are a lot of drinks. yeah. it was a lovely holiday, wasn't it? this was a family holiday which went horribly wrong. they paid for an all—inclusive break the lanzarote that while they were away, there to operator, monarch holidays, went bust. the tour operator had not been paid and it was forcing holidaymakers to pay up or leave. there was quite a bit of shouting, raised voices, and... and a lot of upset. the hotel manager would not show his face. i thought it was like they were putting the blame on us. i just felt a little. we all did. but

we had already paid for and. we had already paid for it, yeah. if we left without paying, that they would call the police in. i bet you were terrified. yeah, i was. call the police in. i bet you were terrified. yeah, iwas. many holiday companies are struggling. research for radio 4 suggest a third of travel agents and tour operators are in danger of going out of business. the trouble for travel companies is that they have almost no financial subsidies at all. isn't this a little bit alarming? no, it is not because not only has the potential situation of the industry deteriorated markedly in the last two years, deteriorated markedly in the last two yea rs, now deteriorated markedly in the last two years, now we have the uncertainty of brexit and we need a steady diet of business to generate the income to stay in business. the largest trade association for uk trade operators and travel agents is not agree with the research. it says the travel industry is very resilient and the number of insolvencies in recent years is

historically low, butjeremy scott, who owns a chain of four travel agents in the south of england, says business can be tough. those that are struggling to be the traditional high—street retail travel agent, that have been around for a long while and have not really kept up the technology in different market trends. we are backing the trend because this is going. and if you do find yourself in trouble, the law says that if you have booked a package holiday with the uk to operator will travel agent, laverne & shirley covered. if you have not gone on holiday yet, you will get a full refund and if you are on holiday, it should not be disrupted and you should not have to pay any bills. —— you are fully covered. u nfortu nate, bills. —— you are fully covered. unfortunate, warning came too late for these people. they were forced to pay an extra 600 tons £600 each for their holiday and. they got the money back and it ruined their holiday. —— £600 each for their

holiday. —— £600 each for their holiday in the lanzarote. iam not i am not surprised, i am sure a lot of people are thinking about it because of the weather. very cold. i think it is going to stay very cold quite a while, isn't it? good morning, helen. good morning. yeah, even i am thinking about the sunshine because it was pitifully sunny for many eastern parts. it is disappointingly cloudy in the north and as you say, it is going to stay cold for much of the weekend. we are not particularly concerned about too many windchill problems. the snow is going to struggle to settle again, there is no in forecast. at the moment, the risk is monday and tuesday. at the moment, the lower sitting across the uk into this weekend. we have got a lot of showery, mostly rain across wales and the south—west began is a little bit of sleet over the hills as we start this morning. the best chance of sunshine is really have the cold is this morning across the north of scotland. currently minus three degrees in inverness. just a few

showers without sunshine and mostly dry and fine but come further south, we come into the remnants of yesterday's weather front, which we come into the remnants of yesterday's weatherfront, which is giving a wintry mix across the eastern side of yorkshire, down to lincolnshire and the midlands, and even the south—east, as i drove through, there was a little bit of wintriness in amongst the rain and drizzle. in amongst the thunder, hailand drizzle. in amongst the thunder, hail and lightning, which we hope these this afternoon to allow the skies to buy into wales and the south—west, a little bit of sunshine possibly the east anglia as well. you can see how messy, for all of us though the main thing is it is quite chilly. treaty six celsius for the most part. again, it will turn quite chilly in areas overnight where we keep a clear skies that they will tend to be with some mist and fog for most of us. you notice that weather system coming into the north—west, the biscuit snow over the hills again. probably a little more snow overnight, frosty, particularly into the overnight. friday probably the brighter of the

two days, behind it there will be sent with those of sunshine for scotla nd sent with those of sunshine for scotland and the northern ireland. but we still have some brains no and fog to deal with. —— some snow. tomorrow, perhaps in wales and the south—west as well do that weak weather front is still hanging around, that brought in the change to the day yesterday. with it, rain, sleet and snow but this is what is your next week. early monday to tuesday, a real risk of some snow. particularly in the north, and we will keep a close eye on things into tuesday as well because that cold air is still with us. it does look set to stay cold for the next well, for five days at least. it is just that this weekend, it is disappointingly cloudy. i will have more, of course, as we go through the morning but it is, as i say, set to stay cold and there is no in the forecast but it is january. yes, but thatis forecast but it is january. yes, but that is not mean we have to like it,

does it? no, no, absolutely not. i'm not saying that, but it is january. let's ta ke not saying that, but it is january. let's take you through some of the front pages. "i'm a fool", on the front pages. "i'm a fool", on the front of the sun. this is about the duke of edinburgh's accident. this is according to eyewitnesses, we have heard accounts from those on the scene suggesting those were his words as he was pulled from his land rover. prince philip also features on the front page of the daily mail, which is asking if it is time the duke ‘stop striving. time to call ita duke ‘stop striving. time to call it a day, philip, duke ‘stop striving. time to call ita day, philip, is duke ‘stop striving. time to call it a day, philip, is what they say. we will be discussing that with some older drivers at about 9:40am today. we will be hearing from somebody who has given up driving and somebody who is still driving, at a ripe age. 0n the front page of the guardian it says patients are starting to stock our medicine in the event of a no deal brexit. something we were

asking you yesterday, lots of people we re asking you yesterday, lots of people were getting in touch about that. how you are dealing with it, whether you are finding there are shortages of drugs. the times is reporting on the congestion charge plans for gridlocked city centres. the image that you are seeing is an absolutely fabulous farewell. julia salleh, jennifer saunders and china lumley, altogether, smiling, but leaving the funeral of their co—star dame june whitfield, held in west sussex yesterday. i willjust draw your attention to the front page of daily telegraph. there is still really only one story in terms of almost all the newspapers, and one of the features, we were mentioning this a moment ago, older drivers, we will be talking about this today, it has focused the attention, rightly or wrongly, on the worries about some people driving when they possibly shouldn't be, and quite a bit of attention on the fact that, according to these images at least, according to these images at least, a new replacement land rover was immediately delivered to sandringham. 0f

immediately delivered to sandringham. of course, there is no implication the duke of edinburgh will be driving yet, or indeed again. at all of that remains to be seen. these discussions, anybody who has elderly relatives will know they can be quite difficult and very sensitive, because of people's fierce independence and the fact that the six show that older drivers do not have more accidents than younger drivers. —— statistics show. it makes these arguments quite complicated. in fact from younger drivers have significantly more accidents than older drivers. we'll be talking about that later on. it is 6:17 a.m., and it is time for the film review. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? it is a very mixed bunch this week. we have glass, the new film by m night shyamalan.

mary queen of scots, a very modern historical drama. and beautiful boy, a tale of a family torn apart by addiction. so, let us start off with glass, a superhero film with a difference. yes, it is the latest from m night shyamalan, who scored a huge hit with sixth sense and had many flops with things like lady in the water. this is a sequel that brings together characters from split, which came out in 2017, and from unbreakable which is from 2000, which you may not have seen, because although critics and fans think it is his best film, it wasn't seen by that many people. so it concerns a trio of characters who come to believe that they have powers which are reminiscent of superhero powers. bruce willis is david dunn who survived a train crash in unbreakable, and thinks he's indestructible. james mcavoy is kevin from split, he is inhabited by a hoard of different personalities, al of whom are awaiting

the arrival of the beast, and samuel ljackson, he is mr glass, who is fragile on the outside, but brilliant of mind, and they are brought together in this psychiatric facility. here is a clip. miss patricia says that your bones can break if i like tap them, is that true? yes. so what's your super power? your mind? what's mine? you're nine forever, right? yeah. that's incredible. you can see the world the way it really is, always. a kid who can never grow old. huh. are you ready? yeah.

the thing with shyamalan's films, is they ride, to quote spinal tap, a very thin line between clever and stupid. you can do with it or say sorry, i'm not buying this. i did buy this, and i really enjoyed it as a result. one of the things i liked about it is, there is a remake of breathless, starring richard gere, that people sneer at, and i understand why they do, but they're wrong, it is a great film. there are many discussions in it about the philosophical implications of the silver surfer. what i like is it takes that stuff seriously but playfully. in the case of this, it is taking the idea that comic books are representations of things that may exist in the real world. it refers to films like shock corridor, the ninth configuration and shutter island, which are fanciful and foolish but are good fun. i went with it. that said, i came out of the screening and a couple of people, they said "i didn't get that at all."

idid. it think it is m night shyamalan's best film since signs, and if you like unbreakable you will find this to be a satisfying follow up. people who have never seen it will wonder what is going on, but i really enjoyed this and i really didn't expect to. unbreakable glass. very good. 0k, mary queen of scots. we have had the favourite, a royal historical drama, and now we have mary, queen of scots, which is, based on the life of mary stuart and her rivalry with elizabeth. saoirse ronan and margot robbie, rivals to the throne. it's a historical drama, but a very modern take on it. it is a film ofjuxtaposition, so you have monarchs and prisoners, catholics and protestants, english, scottish, and centrally men and women, and the two, the two central performances are basically, they are balanced against each other. so mary says "i will be the woman she cannot be, i will produce an heir,

unlike her barren self." elizabeth says "god wants a woman to be a wife and mother, i choose to be a man." she describes herself as "more man than woman and the throne has made me so." she also refers to one of the male counterparts as "the closest thing i have to a wife." so the script is very witty and well done, and you have these terrific central performances, but the rest of the ensemble cast is really well played. people like ian hart and david tennant doing terrific work. the whole film has a painterly look to it. it is directed byjosie rourke who comes from theatre. often if somebody comes from theatre, something doesn't gel, but this felt very cinematic. there is one scene, one scene which i thought 0k, this scene would have worked better on stage, but with the exception of that i felt like it was a lusty drama, really well told. wonderful swirling score, which comes out of the hills, and again, i went in thinking, i very much admire the performers, but i'm not sure, but i was really won over by it and i thought it was funny and witty and it had a really good central thesis of the opposites and i thought it was enjoyable.

my editor, who studied history at university, pointed out they meet in film but in real life, but they never met. this is the one scene, and what happens is, they meet amid billowing sheets that come between them, and again, i think, on stage, yes, on screen, not so much. beautiful boy, in which a father helps his son overcome addiction. tries to, so it is based on memoirs by david and nic sheff. david is played by steve carrell. he's the father who think he knows his son, until he discovers he is addicted to crystal meth. timothee chalamet is nic, the son, the promising young man who gets lost in his addiction and their relationship falls apart. here is a clip. why don't we just have lunch and talk, we can do that, right? how's karen and the kids?

0k, they're asking about you. i know they'd love... you're guilt tripping me, all right. no, i'mjust saying... i feel horrible about myself. i know they wanted you to be there, that's all. i'm sorry dad, ijust need some money, all right, so, please just give me some money. where does this end? i have to see something through, this is kind of working out for me right now, i've got five days sober. it doesn't look it's working out. oh, it doesn't look like it's working out? so what, the therapy? you can come home, we'll make it work, please, nic. please. the thing with this, although it is based on the two sides of the stories, we see it very much

from the father's point of view, and there are certain things about the film that creak. the story telling is straight forward, the music cues are on the nose, they tell you what to think about this scene or that scene. at the beginning we see the father asking a doctor "yell me what the drugs doing", so we get an explanation, there's a scene where he goes into his son's room and finds a notebook spelling out "this is what i am feeling." that said, i found it very moving. i found steve carrell‘s sense of helplessness, as the parent who thinks it's hisjob to save his son, but realises he can't do it. he doesn't understand it. i found on that father—son level it was very moving. i think it's a film that rings truer if you are fusty and old, like me, and you are — i would need somebody to lead me by the hand through this story. the performances are very very sincere. i think the film—making itself is rather on the nose and i can understand some people thinking

it is cliched, but it got to me, and i, there was a couple of moments when i found myself tearing up. it works on an emotional level. i do understand the cliche argument, but it did get to me emotionally. by the way, you are not old or fusty. thank you. maybe you are, i don't know. best out at the moment? 0h, stan and ollie. we did that last week. we did. i said at the time, these are troubled times and how great to have a film like stan and ollie, which will leave you with a spring in your step and a song in your heart. it has great performances from not just steve coogan and john c reilly. but also shirley henderson and nina arianda who play the wives, and the agent says at one point two double acts for the price of one. that's what you get. have you seen this yet? not yet. you must go and see it. it is such a lovely film. what worries you? i'm not that interested in stan and ollie. you don't have to be, you just have to be interested in laughing, and it's very interesting

about the politics of film—making and the ways, we have hal roach, being controlling about his actors. i guarantee, believe me, trust me on this one, you would really like it. i have trusted you before. have i ever let you down? 0nce or twice. 0k. best dvd? it is an adaptation of a very famous book, which i haven't read. i went into this, you know, not knowing much about it, being suspicious because i thought it would be like sex and the city, it wasn't. it was charming and very funny. i have a rule about comedy — it has to make you laugh six times to qualify as comedy. this is terrible, i do literally count the amount of times i laugh until i get to six, and then i go fine, this is a comedy. this is properly a comedy, it is touching, moving, about an asian american woman who finds out the truth about her fiance's family, and it swept me up in a way that having seen the trailer and having seen the poster, i thought i am just not going to get involved in this. it doesn't look like a film for me, but i was charmed by it. i thought it was very funny.

it must be strange sitting next to you during a comedy, watching how many times you laugh. i don't write it down on a pad, but then, yes, i am sure it is strange sitting next to me ina cinema. for a number of reasons. thank you very much, mark. that is it for this week, thank you so much for watching, goodbye from both of us. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of the main stories from bbc news. the bbc has found a postcode lottery in gp care, with doctors in some parts of england struggling with three times as many patients as those in other parts of the country. the royal college of gps said it is clear that some areas have a significant shortage of top is. ——

doctors. nhs bosses say the extra investment being made in the health service would relieve the pressures, but doctors's leaders described the findings as shocking. we know that patient is really struggling to get appointments and gps. it does very across the country and in many areas, patients tell us they cannot see the doctors that they cannot see the doctors that they want to see, they cannot get a point at the time of their choosing, and most importantly, sometimes they can't get an appointment at all, and thatis can't get an appointment at all, and that is potentially very serious. south korea has welcomed the prospect of a second summit between president trump and the north korean leader, kimjong—un, saying it could be a turning point in the search for a lasting peace. there has been little progress on getting rid of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula since the two men met in singapore last year. but us officials said diplomats from both sides had a productive meeting in washington yesterday. the president says he will make a major announcement about the current government shutdown during an address to the nation this afternoon. mr trump is not expected to back down from his demand for a border wall with mexico, but could offer the democrats some concessions in an attempt

night for scottish drug, which bodes well for them. —— with six weeks to go until the start of the six nations. both glasgow edinburgh are through for the first time ever. —— glasgow and edinburgh. they certainly did not expect, a lot of people did not expect them to beat montpellier. one of the true giants of european rugby, they arrived in edinburgh with a swagger, but their lineup of big names was brought down to earth by this in form edinburgh team. they sealed their seventh—straight win in all competitions thanks to this try from darcy graham. edinburgh finish top of their pool then. the win has also helped glasgow qualify for the knockout stage. it's the first time that both scottish sides made it through. meanwhile, newcastle, who already knew they couldn't qualify for the last eight,

were narrowly beaten by toulon in their final group game. the falcons had led with just six minutes to go, before bastien soury forced his way over in the dying minutes to seal a 27—24 win. now, a bit of an emotional time and the tennis overnight. you know when you are just the tennis overnight. you know when you arejust a the tennis overnight. you know when you are just a 18 and you're the tennis overnight. you know when you arejust a 18 and you're up the tennis overnight. you know when you are just a 18 and you're up the one player who has dominated the sport ever since you were born. —— when you are just sport ever since you were born. —— when you arejust 18. sport ever since you were born. —— when you are just 18. spare a thought then for dayana yastremska of ukraine. serena beat dayana yastremska of ukraine in straight sets, 6—2 6—1, and then comforted her after, telling her "you're gonna make it, don't cry." the 18—year—old wasn't even born when williams won the first of her 23 grand slam titles back in 1999. next up for williams with be either world number one simona halep or her sister, venus. liverpool can once again go seven

points clear at the top of the premier league today, but they have to beat crystal palace at anfield. however, palace were actually the last team to beat liverpool at home in the league — that was 637 days ago — so managerjurgen klopp knows not to take them lightly. we have to be ready for a proper fight again and that is what we were, i think. fight again and that is what we were, ithink. there fight again and that is what we were, i think. there are no real concerns or doubts any more, but rather a positive expectation. that is ok, and at the end, we have to deliver. of course, crystal palace went on one manchester city as well, didn't they? so liverpool could have their work cut out for them. don't underestimate pulis. —— crystal palace. meanwhile, 0le gunnar solksjaer could make it seven wins out of seven as manchester united

caretaker boss, if his side beat brighton at old trafford. a win would be a sixth consecutive victory in the league — no united manger has done that before, but solksjaer‘s not getting ahead of himself. 0verconfidence, no, you cannot be too confident. confidence is one thing, it is complacency, it is the other side of it that you think it is going to be easy. i won't take too confident, taking people on, playing, running, passing forward, getting the crowd, rhythm, because thatis getting the crowd, rhythm, because that is what it is about. ahead of that, wolves host leicester at lunchtime, and at 3pm, a relegation zone scrap between newcastle and cardiff. then at 5.30pm, arsenal play chelsea. west ham's marko arnautovic won't be playing for west ham later. he has been left out of their squad for the match against bournemouth. rumours persist that he'll be moving to china for around £35 million. west ham have previously said that he's not for sale but yesterday, manager manuel pellegrini

suggested he could leave if a deal suited both parties. they haven't said yet why he won't play today. norwich returned to second in the championship, with a 3—1victory over birmingham at carrow road last night. all the goals came in the first half. a long—range grass—cutter, from mario vrancic, the pick of the bunch. birmingham drop to ninth place. patience under pressure was the key forjudd trump, who reached the semi—finals of snooker‘s masters, after knocking out the world number one, mark selby. trump raced into a 5—1 lead, and despite selby‘s best efforts to get back into the match, trump kept his cool, in a 40—minute long, eighth frame to win 6—2, and take his place in the semi—finals today. it was a bit of a nervy game in the end, i think. it was a bit of a nervy game in the end, ithink. i it was a bit of a nervy game in the end, i think. i think a few of the frames took a long time and they are very important, especially against mark, because it is sort of a body blow if you lose that after 40 minutes. so think obviously, if i

dayana yastremska minutes. so think obviously, if i daya na yastremska that minutes. so think obviously, if i dayana yastremska that the longer frames just dayana yastremska that the longer framesjust a dayana yastremska that the longer frames just a touch better as well, so in the end, it was quite co mforta ble. and trump will now face neil robertson in the semi—finals later today. the australian beat barry hawkins 6—3. england's netballers face a huge weekend as they seek to win a first quad series title. the commonwealth champions face south africa tonight, before taking on australia in london on sunday. it's what could be a series decider. but coach tracey neville insists they are not getting ahead of themselves. the south africa game, it is probably we had to go away and do our homework on them. they will come out tough cookies because anything is to play for now in this cross series, the cross series is to me to really challenge people, like a world cups an area our scenario. however, i can only look at the south africa game, so from my point of view, taking one game at a time is really important. —— like a world

cup scenario. now the great thing about being a toddler, is it doesn't matter where you are, the world is there to be explored. you can poke and tweak the ears of strangers next to you, especially if you're lenny federer, you have the coach ivan lubicic next to you. this is what happens. when i picked open so that he was sitting there, i thought there is a special guest in me anyhow. back in the day, it was playing in front of your parents, then your friends, then playing in front of your parents, then yourfriends, then it playing in front of your parents, then your friends, then it is famous people, musicians, there i goes. people, musicians; therehe goes: people, musicians; thew-she goes: coach pecrpla, musicians; than-aha goes: coach has been very serious, i the coach has been very senses—l that. the coach has been very serious—l that. rural, at the love that. and, in rural, at the ends, to play in_flo_nt of legends is end, i is back

but it's popping up in eight different cities over the coming year, engaging thousands of people. the so—called ping pong fight club combines djs, ex professionals, and even a robot to try and encourage more young people to start playing. i've been to see how the sport is, compared to how it used to be. groups of people getting together over a table tennis table, well, nothing new in that. just like in the 1940s, ping—pong can be an icebreaker at gatherings. even if the 21st century version is... the dj spinning the tunes, the dreams of flying, there are a lot of ping—pong balls flying around. it feels like a nightclub and he we are sport reaches a whole new audience. it has had a bit of of lt heel-seed .: 12’s -.‘ z ~:—l:l-— .-§ having 55 heel-seed .2 55:5 -.5 z ~:—5:5-— .-5 having an very male dominated, mid— 40s kind of thing, in church halls

and clubhouses and stuff like that. —— here. and clubhouses and stuff like that. -- here. but the game has changed -- here- buttbe eem%g and we at travelling significantly and we at travelling around the country now, so in warehouses, art galleries. it does not matter whether you have never picked up a bat before, you will a lwa ys picked up a bat before, you will always be able to play after five minutes. they are following the lead of susan minutes. they are following the lead of - susan sarandon, who of actress susan sarandon, who discovered the sport late in life started up spin e—e‘ 25:44:55 gm “*—e“-*— are”; classes, to get more women. and talking of women who can spin, a former british 0lympian is helping to coach. the way you hold the bat is like shaking hands, so it is like shaking hands of somebody. i think table tennis tends to get hidden in places where people do not see it, where it is hidden in the side room and they think they can do is put a table and you can play there. it is better to have them outside in the community where people like to play, have fun, meet their friends. give us have fun, meet their friends. give usa have fun, meet their friends. give us a chance? 0k, have fun, meet their friends. give us a chance? ok, so now she is going

to use a frying pan. you will not be able to spin it so well with that. it is into the net. it is notjust ‘ experienced players it is into the net. it is notjust begin - experienced players asa as a chance using their could begin as a chance using their mobile phones as bats, while some arejust mobile phones as bats, while some are just robotic with a precision. they also taking on a robot to find out how many balls they can return in 60 seconds, the other good thing about this place is that you always have people supporting you. you can do this, come on. you can do it. that coming in fast and furious in all directions. —— they are. that coming in fast and furious in all directions. -- they are. it is totally back to normal, so think thatis totally back to normal, so think that is pretty much what it is, people having a laugh enjoying the game. get stressed but it is only because i really want to win. it is absolutely brilliant, i have never played ping—pong in a place that is before. i do not know where my hot doggies, so... ifound my hotdog. —— hotdog. there is a competitive

element as well. as the evening reaches its crescendo, they take each other on to find an overall champion of the night and it seems the action is as compelling and mesmerising as it was back in the nineteen forties. there's something about the game grabs you. so 1940s humour the ends for you. lovely pictures. i thought the archive footage was brilliant. all this footage was brilliant. all this footage from years and decades before, and how it is now of course. did you win a game against the sing? certainly not against the robot, i think i won a couple of points off the frying pan and that is about it. nice to see an indoor sport as well, especially at this time of year, it is getting very cold. last night, there were some players in the snow. dear, i wonder if there is going to be more of it. helen is taking a look at the weather this morning for as. it has been a very chilly, as

mike was saying. is it going to continue? the picture you have gotten the weather watcher says it all. yes, it doesn't look very pretty and there is not a great deal of snow falling. not enough to make a snowman. this was taken last night in north yorkshire. it is part of yorkshire and lincolnshire where we are seeing most of the snow during the day ahead. that is what it looks like at the moment. this weather front is coming into the cold air, and that is where we are seeing the snow. that front is quite weak now. across north yorkshire and the north york moors, up towards pickering, those places are at a risk of snow. a smattering further east across the east midlands, and little bit as i drove in this morning. not beyond the realm of possibility that you will see someone to knows, but it is unlikely to settle. further north, beautiful sunshine but a cold start to the day across northern scotland. -6 to the day across northern scotland. —6 minus seven. a few showers you.

and the legacy of this weather front. across northern ireland, we have those showers, heavy showery rain across wales and the south—west, but it is mostly rain. sleepiness over the hills, and that cold there is embedded further east. that is where it will stay quite grey and cold for much of the day. the exception is east anglia, we think we will see some sunshine here, and through wales and the south—west we may see brighter skies here. the lion's share of the sunshine is in northern scotland, but not particularly warm. that is the general theme, it will feel cold today, disappointingly cold, because of that low cloud. we will keep much of that low cloud. we will keep much of that low cloud. we will keep much of that overnight which means that it will not be terribly cold. it is cold air, but not a widespread frost we had last night because that cloud as the temperatures from falling too much. in the countryside across the northern half of the country, yes, there will be a frost. so on balance, sunday looks like a brighter day of the two. not

necessarily the dry day. it will be for wales and the south—west, but the scotland and northern ireland we have that weakening weather front and againsta have that weakening weather front and against a mountain snow. that will tend to fizzle out, as today's weather front is fizzling out. so not a great deal of rain, sleet or snow, but again, it will feel cold, especially in the sunshine coming through the scotland and northern ireland, and east anglia and the south—east, barely 67. that is average for this time of year. the flying the ointment as we go into next week, we may cease no longer system, it is so active we might even see snow at lower levels. if you have loans into next week, definitely stay tuned to the forecast. —— lands. —— plans. alexa, what are the amazon spheres?

they are an unusual place to work, i have to say. the domes house 40,000 plants. they are an unusual place to work, i have to say. the domes house 40,000 plants. they also have waterfalls, meeting spaces and shops. they're slightly tropical, quite moist, and give you a real sense that you're working in the future. i mean, who'd have thought in the middle of seattle, there'd be a rainforest? an amazon rainforest? say "amazon", think what? jungle? 0nline shopping? or do you think of alexa? this is, after all, the company that

has brought voice control to the masses. now, as a human being, you'll know that you can tell quite a lot from someone's voice — not just what they mean but also how they are feeling and possibly whether they're ill. now, that's obviously really hard for a computer to do, but nick kwek has been looking at some technology that is working towards just that. i've come to tel aviv, israel, to see a doctor with a difference. no cold stethoscope, but i do need to say ahh, as well as make a bunch of other sounds. it's a early decay of the voice. today, dr levanon is going to give me my medical purely by listening to the way i talk. ..see anything beyond verbal of what my state of health is. he isn't a doctor of medicine, but of research he's been working

on it for more than 24 years, which has culminated in a new piece of software. it's a tuesday morning. we've got to catch a flight later back to london. by analysing my vocal intonation, dr levanon says his algorithm can infer my mood, attitude and personality. you are ambitious, you are curious, a little bit adventurous, and a little bit conservative. it is something in between. ifeel like i'm getting my palm read by a psychic. 0k! and the graph is saying, "0h, you are very tired." i am very tired! but the reason i am here is the something far more important, because dr levanon says his system can also be used to diagnose whether i have a disease, and even how bad it is, just by listening to my voice. we can show the early signs of parkinson's, heart problem, autistic children, early signs of prostate cancer. he's comparing the audio wave

patterns of someone's voice against an archive of recordings of people with known illnesses. how are you analysing the wave patterns? these are the signs of ill person and you can see decay of the voice, the deterioration — is ill, tired, can't express himself well. if you are combine all the signs together, we can see how severe is problem and what is his health problem. 0k, reality check time, because as amazing as this sounds, you might be thinking this is all too good to be true. but the thing is voice is already used to diagnose certain conditions, and medical professionals do see that this could have more potential. in london, i went to meet dr nijjer, a consultant cardiologist

at hammersmith hospital, and honorary senior lecturer at imperial college bendere well, there's no doubt that doctors use a patient‘s voice as a way of diagnosing certain conditions and there are neurological conditions like motor neurone disease or parkinson's that have characteristic changes to the voice to help us make a diagnosis. but whatever a voice's potential, today beyond verbal has had only one paper published, in conjunction with the us—based mayo clinic, investigating the connection between voice and coronary artery disease. what this study has done is attempted to make a diagnosis of coronary artery disease using the voice alone. this is a completely new avenue and i would say that the technology at present needs a lot more work. the study that's been published doesn't give us definitive proof that this technology can make that diagnosis. the study has been performed in a highly enriched and highly selected group of patients. and actually, i would say the capacity of voice to be able to detect the severity of an individual lesion, as they've proposed, is a little far—fetched. california—based telemedicine start—up salubermd has begun incorporating beyond verbal‘s mood analysing system

into its gp appointment app. 0ne second, bear with me while i bring up your data here. whilst remote doctors listen to problems over video call, the software can inform them about their patient‘s emotional state. how accurate is beyond verbal around the mood? very. how is accurate regarding the acute coronary syndrome? we don't know yet. at present, there is a very good feel around it but i, as a doctor, cannot trust a feel. i need to trust real correlation or real demonstration. beyond verbal isn't the only business claiming to understand our health via our voice. healthymize, sonde health, peakprofiling and even ibm are just some researching the connection between voice patterns and disease. we believe that we are better than 75% in many diseases. however, it's still not enough to say "that's it!" it's still enough to say alert, be — take care of yourself, go to the doctor, make other checks. further trials are being

conducted in israel, china and soon, the uk. and whilst it might be simply sci—fi, the idea of alexa in the future alerting me about my health is at once appealing, yet unsettling. that was nick. and now, we're gonna go back in time to the consumer electronics show 1ee e'e 1e1ee11ee eeeee ... .. .. . . . . . .. ...... four years ago. today, it's enjoyed a phoenix—like alexa, run the video.

and when you're feeling the creative juices flowing, you can always kick back with your smart instrument. if you're a keyboard player, you know it can be really frustrating navigating your way through menus just to get where you want. but with alexa built in, there's a world of possibilities that open up. so, for example, i can say "alexa, ask g0:piano to select strings." alexa: the tone is tuned to strings. and with this particular device, there's a number of built—in commands that work offline.

so, for example, "head up display". and there we go! ready to roll! google assistant may have been late to the party but is trying to catch up. it's built into this alarm clock with internet phone... hey, google. what's the weather? ..or is around for a chat whilst you get ready. google assistant: currently in las vegas, it's 57 and partly cloudy. meanwhile, apple — and to a lesser extent, microsoft — are making a play for voice domination too, but amazon and google remain clear front—runners. not that you need to commit to just one. with this bluetooth headset, you can simply say "0v phone" to activate either siri on google, and "0v alexa" to activate its amazon rival. play gorillaz. but other voice—activated assistants are hoping to break new ground in specific environments. chris is supposed to work when in the car, even when you're offline, letting you control music and even navigation with your voice.

and, somewhat curiously, with a few gestures too. elliq: i enjoy sharing interesting facts. and back in the home, some specialist devices are aiming to use voice function for slightly more human purposes. this is a social companion robot for the elderly. it combines google's voice recognition technology and elliq's own ai platform to be able to not just respond, but also initiate conversation. we all need a little nudge from time to time. it can actually provide notjust reminders, but also goals for its users. so if somebody has been sitting down for too long, then motion sensors will alert it and may get them to get up and do a bit of exercise. it could also be helping them keep in contact with their family through the tablet element. je m'appelle lara. i will speak to myself. but, of course, these devices do

have a way to go before they provide a totally seamless experience. and now, it is going to pull out one of the bach... ..sebastian bach station from i heart radio. um... this is a gesture—controlled speaker, which works like this. the company behind it are hoping to install their technology in virtual assistants. and it's notjust about being able to wake them up by tapping, it is also going to track how far away you are in the room so that the volume can be adjusted accordingly. a device's built—in speaker emits ultrasound waves and its microphone receives them, mapping where you are. the software acts on this information, maybe pausing or playing something you're watching or listening to, or in the case of a virtual assistant, turning heating or lighting on or off. but whilst there are ideas aplenty about how the future of voice could play out, for this year's ces, google and amazon certainly seem to be enjoying having the last word.

thank you very much, goodbye. i'm afraid that's where we have to stop the shortcut of click for this week. the full length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and don't forget, we live on social media too — youtube, facebook, twitter and instagram at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: where you live has a huge impact on how many gps are available to you, according to new research for the bbc. us president donald trump is to meet the north korean leader, kimjong—un, by the end of next month to discuss the denuclearisation of the korean peninsular. a banksy artwork, which appeared on the side of a garage
