palace said it had been in touch with her to offer good wishes but emma fairweather says she had only heard from a police liaison officer falls off she told the paper i am lucky to be alive and he hasn't even said sorry. it has been such a traumatic and painful time and i would have expected more of the royal family. yesterday prince philip was spotted driving a new land rover. he was photographed driving it about a seatbelt, norfolk police said suitable words of advice had been given to the driver, buckingham palace did not comment. yesterday morning, the prince passed a police eyesight test. it is standard procedure after an accident like this. police say the cause of the crash is still under investigation. andy moore, bbc news. president trump has offered democrats a compromise package on immigration in an attempt to end a partial government shutdown. but some prominent democrats dismissed his olive branch as unacceptable, as david willis reports from washington. a diplomatic reception room of the

white house coming on diplomatic message. , from the diplomatic reception room of the white house came a distinctly undiplomatic message — america's immigration system is badly broken. i am here today to break the logjam and provide congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown and solve the crisis on the southern border. amongst a package of measures that he knew would prove irresistible to many democrats was an offer of temporary relief for around a million immigrants threatened with deportation. but then came the quid pro quo. in return for all of this, the president is demanding close to $6 billion to build a wall along america's southern border — a project the democrats hate. if we build a powerful and fully designed see—through steel barrier on our southern border, the crime rate and drug problem in our country would be quickly and greatly reduced. senior democrats were quick to brand the president's plan a non—starter,

and the house speaker nancy pelosi put it thus: adding later: those workers are now taking to charity food banks in growing numbers. and in order to get them back to work, one side or the other in this seemingly intractable dispute has to blink first. david willis, bbc news, washington. an 18—year—old man has been charged with the murder of a boy in east london. 14—year—old jaden moodie was stabbed to death after being forced off his moped in leyton earlier this month. the metropolitan police is continuing to look for four other suspects who fled the scene. police are investigating an explosion inside a car outside the courthouse in londonderry. the blast happened shortly after 8 o'clock last night.

political leaders on all sides have condemned the bombing. no—one is thought to have been injured. the number of retailers warning of financial difficulties has reached its highest level since the economic crash of ten years ago. 38% of retailers issued profit warnings in 2018 — a year in which a number of big—name brands disappeared from the high street. here's our business correspondent, rob young. it has been a truly dreadful year the retailers. new look close to the house offer is a t f, '% and t t, '% and had has out of "r" us shut down. business. toys "r" us shut down. even the those stores who managed to survive intact, it has been a year of pain. according to new analysis, 36 issued warnings about their profit in 2018. that is one in three of all of the general retailers

listed on this london stock market and it is the largest proportion to the financial crisis one decade ago. retail probably have one of the toughest years in living memory. the reason number of things that would be going on, we have had weak consumer demand, combined with uncertainty around brexit which has really weighed on business confidence and to some extent consumer confidence is well and as a result we have seen a high number of businesses go into administration or undertake radical restructuring. data suggests we have become more cautious about spending on nonessentials. shops know this and so nonessentials. shops know this and so many nonessentials. shops know this and so many are nonessentials. shops know this and so many are offering biggerjanuary the normal in an attempt to get us through their doors. retailers are braced for a poor 2019. the first few months of the year can be deadly for companies in financial difficulty. it is feared the coming weeks may bring more grim news for the high street rob young, bbc news. two people have died after contracting a fungal infection

caused by pigeon droppings at a hospital in glasgow. nhs greater glasgow and clyde has launched an investigation, with a room thought to contain machinery being identified as the possible source, as catriona renton reports. the two patients were being treated at scotland's largest hospital when they contracted the rear and fiction. it is thought the likely source is from pigeons that had got into a room not open to the public, thought to contain machinery. their droppings contain microscopic airborne organism called cryptococcus. it is very unusual for people exposed to the fun guy to get ill and those with compromised immune systems can be vulnerable. the problem with this is it can cause meningitis which as we know meningitis is a serious infection and it doesn't matter what causes it but if it is caused by this cryptococcus it can come on quite slowly before you know what the problem is. nhs greater glasgow and clyde said one of the patients who

was older leak died of an unrelated cause. another person has also died but the factors contributing to this are still being investigated. the health board says the droppings have been removed and air filter health board says the droppings have been removed and airfilter units brought in. an investigation is under way. each codral experts say it is difficult to stop entering buildings. pigeons can exploit holes literally as big as this is not smaller and itjust depends on the structure of the building. most buildings are designed to be weatherproof, not bird proof. as $0011 weatherproof, not bird proof. as 50011 as weatherproof, not bird proof. as soon as they build a nest they will put droppings everywhere and they will build up over time and obviously they are extremely hazardous. a spokesperson for the scottish government has control measures are in place and no further cases have been reported. catriona renton, bbc news, glasgow. theresa may is expected to hold a conference call with her cabinet ministers this afternoon as she prepares to outline her next steps to break the brexit deadlock. she'll make a statement in the house of commons tomorrow. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth can tell us more. since theresa may's brexit deal was

pretty emphatically rejected by parliament, she has been meeting mps from all different parties to try and find out what, if anything, parliament might support. this afternoon she is due to update her cabinet on those conversations and thatis cabinet on those conversations and that is because tomorrow she is due to go before the house of commons and makea to go before the house of commons and make a statement, just suggesting what her next steps may be. we not expecting anything concrete. if anything, just an indication of her thinking about where she is headed. i'm told in the early pa rt where she is headed. i'm told in the early part of next week she will continue meeting with mps to those conversations about brexit but despite all of this coverage so far, it doesn't seem as though there is any consensus developing and in fact jeremy corbyn the labour leader still has not to the prime minister he says he will not do so until she ta kes he says he will not do so until she takes the prospect of an ideal brexit of the table. at the same time some conservative and labour

backbenchers are reportedly trying to work out how parliament could seize control of this process to extend the article 50, that is the point at we leave the eu to eu to try to stop a no deal exit. with all of that going on, the international trade secretary liam fox has written an article in the sunday telegraph. he warned there could be a political tsunami if the referendum result is not honoured. right now rather than consensus, it seems the divisions arejust as deep. alex forsyth there. more on that little later. tsunami warnings have been lifted after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit the coast of northern chile last night. hundreds of thousands of homes have been left without power and tremors were felt 250 miles away in the capital of santiago. the country is located on the so—called pacific ring of fire, where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common. rescue teams searching for a 2—year—old boy who fell down a well in southern spain have begun drilling in an effort to reach him. julen rosello's parents say he fell down the 300 feet drop in malaga last sunday, and hasn't been heard from since.

miners are now drilling a tunnel next to the well wide enough to allow rescuers to be lowered down. astronomers are eagerly awaiting a total lunar eclipse, or blood moon, in the early hours of tomorrow morning. it will be the last time the event will be visible from the uk for ten years. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh has the details. this is what people all across the uk will see tomorrow, weather permitting. it is called blood moon. this is one from last summer. it is a strange colour because the earth passes directly between it and the sun. this blocks out most of the sunlight, but a small part of it falls on the lunar surface as it passes through the outer edges of our atmosphere. and tomorrow morning, the moon will appear slightly larger than usual as it is at its closest point to earth.

astronomers call this a ‘super moon'. the sight will be visible over the americas and northern and western europe, the very edge of western africa, as well as the northernmost portion of russia. in all, it will have a potential audience of some 2.8 billion people. actually just to let you know we will be talking about that later. at 40 will be talking about that later. at a0 minutes past six. how to see it, we re a0 minutes past six. how to see it, were to see it, we will discuss it more. we shall explain. we have some very high tech props. does it involve a tennis ball? and a football. i love the bbc and our technology. but that is the best way to explain! but do stay with us to see that, what time you will need to be up to get to see it. let's have a look at the front pages

now. let's have a look at some of the front pages this morning: the mirror has an exclusive interview with emma fairweather, who was a passenger in the other car involved in the collision with the duke of edinburgh. she's told the paper that the prince hasn't apologised for the crash. "may in meltdown" is the headline in the sunday times. the front page says that leaked emails between remain mp dominic grieve and a parliamentary clerk show plans to suspend brexit. the observer reports that john bercow is considering abandoning plans to step down as commons speaker after cabinet ministers threatened to deny him a peerage. it has previously been reported that mr bercow was planning to quit as speaker in the summer. the mail on sunday's front page is also about that crash involving prince philip. it says he has received a "ticking—off" by norfolk police after he was photographed not wearing his seatbeltjust two days after the accident. remember, two days after the accident. a norfolk police spokesman said "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver". this is from, i am checking, the

mail on sunday. rest yourself, blue monday apparently tomorrow. worst day of the year. these memories fade and you could find herself contemplating your battered bank account. this is all sounding horribly familiar! i am not talking about you! not to mention reality of the return to work and if the january gloom is getting you down you can take comfort from the fact you can take comfort from the fact you are not alone. tomorrow is blue monday, supposedly the most depressing day of the year. what a thought! let's not make it so. we will all be here so let's not make it blue. we will not wear blue tomorrow. thinking of blue things, we will talk about the weather with helen. and it is a bit chilly out there. it is. i was helen. and it is a bit chilly out there. it is. iwas going helen. and it is a bit chilly out

there. it is. i was going to wear blue tomorrow. i like blue and i like january. despite the weather. i like january. despite the weather. i like the weather. it is chilly and there is a lot of blue on the chart this morning. hello to you both. it will be brighter today and dry today thanit will be brighter today and dry today than it was yesterday for many parts of the uk. yes, it will be cold, but it is january. it is crisp and cold with sunshine coming out, and there should be more of that today, that is good news, we had a lot of cloud yesterday. rather a great day yesterday. rather a great day yesterday. the flying in the ointment is this weather system, rather weak, thinking across scotla nd rather weak, thinking across scotland and northern ireland. behind it the sunny skies follow. it won't give us much in rain that metway rain or snow. it beat as our quite rapidly. snow mostly on the hills. the brighter weather follows on behind. a little bit of freezing fog around this morning, perhaps east anglia and the south—east. sunshine across many parts of the midlands, east anglia, and the south—east. fewer showers around.

0ne south—east. fewer showers around. one or two south—east. fewer showers around. 0ne ortwo in south—east. fewer showers around. one or two in pembrokeshire in cornwall. the old wintry shower. temperatures 3—6d. dropping lower tonight because of the clear skies. good news for the luna moon. we will have quite a lot of cloud around. we should get some good viewing windows. more likely in the north. from the north mywee have the approach of the next weather front. the high cloud coming in and head of this system. it could give more significant snow. that is the one we are watching. looks like it will mostly be the northern half of the country. they came at this time of yearfor country. they came at this time of year for scotland and northern england and northern ireland to see some snow. “— england and northern ireland to see some snow. —— decade. cold air ahead of that system and behind. you cannot rule it out. this is how it looks way monday lunchtime mid—afternoon. not much inroads across scotland and northern ireland. through the evening and

overnight it gets its act together coming to that cold ad. there is an winteriness in the south. it should clear away. probably cold air by the time we get to tuesday morning. then it is sunshine and wintry showers, three orfour, a brisk wind, a brisk wind ahead on monday and following on tuesday. you get the hint. it will be cold but there will be some turnaround. monday into tuesday, the main playerfor turnaround. monday into tuesday, the main player for the risk turnaround. monday into tuesday, the main playerfor the risk of turnaround. monday into tuesday, the main player for the risk of snow, but after that it stays cold for much of this week, possibly colder later in the week. wind is with us. iam sure later in the week. wind is with us. i am sure you are not alone in liking the january weather. there must be other people. thank you. thank you very much. it's a pleasure. we will see you in half—an—hour. let's take a look at this week's 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 ben thompson and louise minchin. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: police have spoken to the duke of edinburgh after he was photographed driving without a seatbelt on a public road, just two days after his crash with a car carrying two women and a baby. one of the women has claimed no—one from the royal family has contacted her to offer an apology

since the accident on thursday. emma fairweather was left with a broken wrist and told the sunday mirror that she's lucky to be alive. senior democrats have described president trump's attempt to end the long running government shutdown as a "non—starter". the us president had offered to temporarily protect1 million immigrants from deportation if congress agreed to fund a wall along the mexican border. the shutdown is now in its fifth week and is the longest in american history. an 18—year—old man has been charged with the murder of a boy in east london. 1a—year—old jaden moodie was stabbed to death after being forced off his moped in leyton, earlier this month. the metropolitan police is continuing to look for four other suspects who fled the scene. police are investigating an explosion inside a car outside the courthouse in londonderry. the blast happened shortly after 8 o'clock last night. political leaders on all sides have

condemned the bombing. no—one is thought to have been injured. the number of major retailers warning of financial difficulties has reached its highest level since the economic crisis ten years ago. 38% issued profit warnings in 2018, with toys r us, maplin and new look just some of the big high street names to have closed stores or collapsed entirely. business analysts say less demand from consumers and uncertainty over brexit are likely to be contributing factors. two patients have died after contracting a fungal infection caused by pigeon droppings at the queen elizabeth university hospital in glasgow. nhs greater glasgow and clyde has launched an investigation, with a room thought to contain machinery being identified as the possible source. theresa may is expected to hold a conference call with her cabinet ministers this afternoon as she prepares to outline her next steps to break the brexit deadlock. it comes ahead of a statement by the prime minister in the house of commons tomorrow.

it's understood that mrs may will continue discussions with mp5, as well as business and union leaders, in the next few days. rescue teams searching for a 2—year—old boy who fell down a well in southern spain have begun drilling in an effort to reach him. julen rosello's parents say he fell down the 300—feet drop in malaga last sunday, and hasn't been heard from since. miners are now drilling a tunnel next to the well, wide enough to allow rescuers to be lowered down. it was a tweet that prompted a fiery response. hannah summers revealed her a—year—old daughter esme had told her she wished she was a boy so she could be a firefighter, as the books she reads only include firemen. hello, iam how

hello, i am how we, hello, iam how we, iam hello, i am how we, i am a firefighter and i am a girl. hello, esme. i firefighter and i am a girl. hello, esme. lam firefighter and i am a girl. hello, esme. i am the matter, firefighter and i am a girl. hello, esme. lam the matter, i firefighter and i am a girl. hello, esme. i am the matter, i am a girl and we are firefighters. hi, esme, we are firefighters and we are girls! as you can see, women crews from all over the world actually posted a string of pictures and videos to prove that female firefighters exist. later, esme's mum put up another post saying esme "firmly believes she can be a firefighter". all of that story. it is great. the response, this is the power of social media, when it is done well. good morning. how are you. very well. a big day in the premier league. it was, yes. liverpool seven points clear on the top, really made to sweat, louise. a lot of goals, mo salah with two more. he got his 50th

in the premier league as well. look at this, he isn't delighted or anything, is he? jurgen klopp never does anything by halves! he was nervous at anfield but they did enough to get the victory they needed and liverpool now have a 7—point cushion at the top of the premier league. it was a testing encounter against crystal palace. the londoners beat champions manchester city, who play later today, and came very close to upsetting liverpool as well. here's nick parrott with that and the best of yesterday's other action. relief thejurgen relief the jurgen klopp relief thejurgen klopp could so easily have been disappointment at anfield. this was liverpool back to how they used to be, slack at the back as townsend put crystal palace ahead against the run of play but thrilling going forward as mo salah equalised. roberto firmino put the reds ahead, ending the 29 year tribal drought is not going to be

easy though, defenders went missing as james tomkins drew palace level. and mo salah had to come to the rescue again, his 50th premier league goal, although onlyjust. that wasn't the end of the chaos. james milner was sent off, making five minutes of injury time feel like an eternity. funny money secured the vic three. but there was still time to palace to dent liverpool ‘s goal difference, if not their pride. —— sadio mane. massive relief because the different reasons we knew it would be difficult to resolve this match, 60 point sounds crazy. the battle for the final champions league place is also hotting up. arsenal roared back into contention by beating fourth placed chelsea 2—0. gunners and are just three points behind their london rivals, as are manchester united. their win over brighton saw the code to become the first united manager to win the opening six league games, surpassing buzbee's record. we don't give up, a great

tea m record. we don't give up, a great team spirit, we cannot live three, four, 5—0 every time and play fa ntasy football. four, 5—0 every time and play fantasy football. at times were some fantastic football at times and delighted with the points. the wolves got a a— three win over leicester, making the foxes lost the bookies favourite to be the next manager to leave his post. while the pressure eased on rougher benitez as his newcastle side moved out of the relegation zone, at the expense of fellow strugglers cardiff —— rafa. andy carol has yet to score in the league this season but the west ham striker was shown how it should be done by callum wilson. that helped bournemouth and a run of four games without a win. nick parrott, bbc news. well, second—placed manchester city can close the gap to four points on leaders liverpool today if they win at bottom club huddersfield town. mark hudson is in caretaker charge of the yorkshire side after the club parted company with david wagner and city boss pep guardiola says his side cannot underestimate huddersfield or focus too much on liverpool. forget the table. forget the

schedules. focus as hard as you can now into conditions are freezing and every time we play against them, especially there in the cup, first season, last season, always have been and will be compensated. so focus on what you have to do. it's the scottish cup fourth round weekend and there was an extraordinary upset where the semi—professional team auchinleck talbot knocked out championship club ayr united. the only goal of the game was scored by law student craig mccracken and helped the junior club humiliate their local rivals to earn a first win over senior opposition. a lot of the points before the game broke a soft but the fans believed and so did the boys and we have managed to have the upset. different class. and being a boy from ayr, was even more sweet? it was but a lift on good terms so if a left on bad

terms but it does make it a bit sweeter. the holders celtic are safely through to the fifth round after a 3—0 victory over airdrie. two goals from scott sinclair either side of the break put brendan rodgers' side in control before timothy weah, the son of former ac milan legend george, added a third in the final ten minutes, giving them a convincing win. munster claimed a narrow win to eliminate exeter and confirm their place in the european champions cup quarter—finals. exeter had a point lead at half—time but the visitors couldn't open up the 7—point winning margin they needed to progress. instead, joey carbery‘s kicking ensured a 12th straight european home win for munster. ulster produced a second—half comeback, coming from 13—0 down, to defeat leicester 1a—13 to book their place in the quarter—finals for the first time since 201a. robert baloucoune with the decisive try. leicester finish a disappointing european campaign with just one win. and saracens eased to a 38—19 win over glasgow and secured a home champions cup quarter—final

in the process. maro itoje scoring one of their second half tries to wrap up victory. england captain 0wen farrell didn't play in the saracens game due to a thumb injury, but his club insist it's not serious. saracens say farrell had a minor procedure yesterday and will need a little over a week to recover and he'll be fit for england's opening six nations match in dublin on february 2nd. what a game it will be. wimbledon champion angelique kerber is out of the australian open after suffering a stunning defeat in the fourth round. she was beaten in straight sets, 6—0, 6—2 by the world number 35 danielle collins. the american, who's making her debut in melbourne this year, tookjust 56 minutes to defeat kerber. in netball‘s quad series, england lost a8—a5 to south africa in their second match at london's copper box arena. the roses started well and led early on, but south africa dominated the second and third quarters.

england edged ahead again in the fourth period but south africa clung on for victory. tracey neville's side take on australia in the final match this evening. ronnie 0'sullivan will play judd trump in the final of the masters snooker at alexandra palace today. 0'sullivan was a—0 up in his semi—final against ding junhui before ding won the next 3 frames. but the 7—time masters champion recovered to win the match. now, horse racing is rarely predictable — that is except when there's a horse called altior in the race. he is one of racing's most exciting horses and yesterday won for the 17th time in a row. his jockey nico de boinville only had to beat two others in the clarence house chase at ascot after altior had scared off most of his rivals with his incredible unbeaten record over jumps. so they just, there so theyjust, there were only three of them? because of his record, he

is one short of the all—time record =- .-.—.l -l-l .-.4 ll; "4—22“; . and -l l.l.l -l-l l.l ll.l "ll—lllll . and absolutely =l l.l.l llll l.l ll.l "ll—lllll . and absolutely astonishing horse, altior. indeed and we will see you later. if you're up late tonight or early tomorrow morning, you could witness one of the most spectacular astronomical events of the year. the moon, the earth, and the sun, will line up for a total lunar eclipse, resulting in what's known as a super blood moon. but it's the last one we'll see for a decade. here to explain more is planetary scientist sarah crowther. good morning. tell us what is happening or what will happen tonight. two things at the same time, a supermoon and a lunar eclipse. i have got my first model here. a football, following on from sport, and a tennis ball as the moon, and let's pretend you to make other son. so the moon orbit around the earth what happens in eclipse is the earth what happens in eclipse is the moon is right behind the earth and in its shadow. in the shadow

cast by the sun. i am trying to make the shadow. normally when we see the moon in the sky, it is because it is reflect into some's light and that is lighting it up. but when it is behind the earth in the shadow the light get directly from the sun, where you are, to the moon. at a little bit of light does get there. it can kind of bounce around the earth's atmosphere and reach the moon but as it happens the different colours that make up the light get scattered and the blue light gets lost and it's only the red light that will actually reach the moon. which is why it is red. and why it is called the blood moon. and what the supermoon means is as the moon orbits around the earth, sometimes it isa orbits around the earth, sometimes it is a little bit further away and sometimes it is a little bit closer and when it is closer it looks bigger in the sky. and that is what we call a supermoon. it will be pretty cool colour, much bigger because it is closer and how often

does this happen? it is actually going to be a supermoon next month and in march, they sometimes clomp together. it depends on the moon was not all but which isn't quite a perfect circle. eclipses can happen sometimes a couple of times a year, sometimes a couple of times a year, sometimes not for a couple of years but to get the two coincide at the same time does not happen as often, obviously. is it, i mean we will talk to helen in a minute too will have the other on the weather but if it was clear, if it were clear tomorrow, we would all be able to seeit? tomorrow, we would all be able to see it? yes. the obviously if you we re see it? yes. the obviously if you were somewhere dark with light pollution it will look better but some of the other phenomena like meteor showers were you really need to be somewhere dark, you can see the moon in the night sky where ever you are or even if the red light pollution. like you said that it, it depends on the weather. and what sort of time? we said we would need to stay up early the view have a rough idea when maybe best? the

period of totality, when the moon will look red, is i think from about 4:45 to 5:45 depending on where you are and the middle of that is about 5:15 but the eclipse start earlier and finishes later, i think it starts at two am or something? i cannot remember exactly when. and when the moon comes out completely out of the earth's shadow is somewhere between half seven and eight o'clock. or is plenty of time for everybody to have a look. and when will this next happen, the two of them together, as far as you know? i cannot remember when the two happening together will be that we won't see an eclipse in its entirety in the uk for another ten years. ok! said it is definitely you waking up, whatever, 4:45, you will be up. what a bonus! don't have a look. thank

you so much for to us. so much more to talk about. will it be clear enough to see it? hello has more. hello, it is an interesting one. do you think we will be able to seeit? one. do you think we will be able to see it? —— hello the cloud will contaminate the picture. we have the weather front hanging around in the atmosphere. there is another one coming in tomorrow. we may get the high cloud from that. that said, hopefully most of that cloud will be quite thin and mottled. hopefully we will see. let's have a look. it will not be as bad as it would be for this morning, we have lots of cloud ms guy for many. for east anglia and the south—east more chance of sunshine today. hopefully holding onto clear skies in the south—east denied. this is one weather front that is contaminating the weather picture today, bringing cloud. that is the

concern with seeing the moon tonight will be how much cloud we have. there are some rain at the moment. as it comes in and goes to that cold air it will turn to snow. you can see that weather front is fizzling out. still lots of cloud surrounding. behind it the sky is clear. perhaps a good chance before the next weather system moves in. a good chance of keeping some sunshine today for parts of the midlands, east anglia, and the south—east. some breaks in the are likely. some sunshine in parts of northern england and wales. showers for the western side. the cloud is moving southwards. it is quite broken. it is looking like it will be a cold night. here comes the next weather front into the west. you can see the concerns that night are the several bands, albeit weak bands of cloud, a cold night, a cold start tomorrow morning. iam hoping cold night, a cold start tomorrow morning. i am hoping to go for a run. i might get to sit across the

south and east and head of that weather front. the impending south and east and head of that weatherfront. the impending weather tomorrow, although we will see some early morning brightness and liked this morning there will be freezing fog and a hard frost we have had the epernay clear skies, this comes in tomorrow, a much more active weather front. tending to snow quite readily ideals of scotland's. strengthening wind as well. the cold air around that will accentuate the chill. that will turn to snow readily across the pennines and the welsh mountains before it clears away before we get the show is coming in. there could be winteriness, sleet further south. unlikely to hang around zettel, nevertheless just letting you know that that risk of seeing snow more widely is definitely that —— cecil. that is monday evening and monday night. a treacherous night for travel. no warnings. we will keep you updated. the realfour a chilly

day as we go into thursday. d—mac tuesday. we keep that wednesday and thursday. the cold air is with us. the threat of snow is monday into tuesday. back to you too. thank you. good luck with the running as well. we will see you in about half—an—hour. it's time for this week's click. 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 london. 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 in las vegas from last week, where voice was a massive deal. and we asked lara lewington and richard taylor to check out the big talk at the show. it's only taken a few years for voice—activated smart assistants to become an integral part of every self—respecting techie's lifestyle. amazon's alexa started out as a small, self—contained box four years ago. today, it's enjoyed a phoenix—like rise, compatible with over 28,000 smart devices and myriad gadgets of all shapes and sizes.

alexa, run the video. this bot vector isn'tjust cute, it can also order you a pizza. 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 a! 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 louise minchin and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today: police speak to prince philip after he's seen driving without a seatbelt 48 hours after he was involved in a crash which injured two women.
