goodbye. good morning welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and ben thompson. our 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. president trump offers a deal to end the longest government shut down in us history — but his democrat opponents reject the plan. the number of retailers warning of financial difficulties reaches its highest level since the economic crisis of 2008. in sport, wild celebrations on merseyside as liverpool beat crystal palace to go seven points clear at the top of premier league. good morning. another cold day awaits for most

of us but it should be brighter, more sunshine around. however, snow is in the forecast, more so for monday and tuesday, and a smattering in the hills in the north. join me in 15 minutes for more detail. it's sunday the 20th of january. our top story: 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. andy moore reports. prince philip was fortunate to escape with only slight injuries from thursday's crash nearsandringham. two women and a baby were in the other car, a kia. emma fairweather was one of them. she was treated in hospital

for a broken wrist. now she has spoken to the sunday mirror, saying that prince philip should be prosecuted if found to be at fault. buckingham palace said it had been in touch with her to offer good wishes, but ms fairweather said she had only heard from a police liaison officer. she told the paper "i am lucky to be alive and he hasn't even said sorry. it's 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 without 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's 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 unnacceptable, as david willis reports from washington. 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 eight 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 crash of ten years ago. 38% of retailers listed on the stockmarket 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 for retailers. new look closed dozens of branches. house of fraser collapsed into administration and had to be rescued. maplin has gone out of business. toys "r" us shut down. even for those stores that managed to survive intact, it has been a year of pain.

according to new analysis, 36 retailers issued warnings about their profits in 2018 — that's one in three of all of the general retailers listed on the london stock market — and it is the largest proportion to the financial crisis a decade ago. retailers probably had one of the toughest years in living memory. there's a number of things that had been going on — we've had weak consumer demand, combined with uncertainty around brexit which has really weighed on business confidence and, to some extent, consumer confidence as 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 non—essentials. shops know this and so, many are offering biggerjanuary discounts than 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's feared the coming weeks may bring more grim news for the high street. rob young, bbc news. 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 — our political correspondent nick eardley is in our london newsroom... there is lots in the sunday papers about who was talking to who and what is being discussed when, but clearly time is running out? absolutely. 0nly clearly time is running out? absolutely. only 68 days to go until we are supposed to leave the european union. tomorrow, the pm will come to parliament and give some sort of update on what she is going to do next. i wouldn't really expect that to be much of a change of heart, i think it will be rather a holding statement that takes us over the next few days, as she tries to continue talks with other parties

to continue talks with other parties to see if there is anything she can do to win their support for a brexit deal. there are some in parliament, though, that are really worried about the idea that there isn't going to be a end to the logjam, so they are working on plans to try and stopped the uk leaving the eu without a deal in place about our future relationship which is written into law. at the moment, one of those plans would rule out the idea ofa those plans would rule out the idea of a nodal brexit, and mean if we we re of a nodal brexit, and mean if we were getting near to that stage, that parliament would be able to save to the government, go back to brussels and try and get a bit more time for some more negotiations. another one of those plans would basically pause the processed fairly soon, and say we need more time to work it out. as you say, ben, the clock is ticking, there is very little sign at the moment that a breakthrough is imminent, so some people are starting to think that parliament needs to take control of this. thank you very much.

we're hearing from french media that two people have been killed, and four seriously injured in a fire at the ski resort of courchevel. the local news is reporting that some brizaillian seasonal workers are among those caught up in the fire. we're still trying to verify the details, which are still coming in. rescue teams searching for a two—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. the ashes of six unidentified victims of the holocaust are to be laid to rest this morning. they have been in storage at the imperial war museum for 20 years, and will be interred at a jewish cemetery in hertfordshire. this is the very first time that here in the uk we are going to be staging such an event some 75 years

after six people were stripped of their dignity, murdered in the crudest possible fashion, their bodies cremated. now we will have an opportunity to accord them some dignity and to give them a final resting place. astronomers are eagerly awaiting a total lunar eclipse, or blood moon, in the early hours of tomorrow morning. if you look up to the sky after 4.30am — you'll be able to see the eclipse — weather permitting — when the moon, the earth, and the sun line up for more than an hour. the next similar event will take place in december 2029. so it might be worth setting the alarm. it might be, mightn't it? i

thought i should wear a dress, that was a subconscious thought. i should really have what it tomorrow. really have what it tomorrowlj think it really have what it tomorrow.” think it is particularly appropriate today, a live demonstration of what it will look like. contrary to what people think, will we do by our own clothes and where our own throats. i wasn't told to wear this. toys r us, house of fraser and maplin are just some of the big high street names to have found themselves in financial trouble last year. now it's emerged the number of retailers warning of potential problems has reached its highest level since 2008 — the year of the financial crash. so why is this? and what does it tell us about the health of our economy? retail expert clare baileyjoins us now. why now? unlike 2008, it is a very different set of circumstances, but it has created a similar set of

problems for retailers. it has been a perfect storm. consumer consequence dharma confidence has been falling, a lot to do with political uncertainty, what were things that like after march 29? people are worried about their grocery shop. that constrains their ability to feel confident to go out and spend money. that has a knock—on effect on retailers who receive less sales, or effect on retailers who receive less sales, 01’ consumers effect on retailers who receive less sales, or consumers will only buy if they feel they get a bargain, which means they have two discount heavily, which reduces their profits. they are also seeing an increasing cost, only rent reviews, the impact of minimum living wage on those people they are employing on the very low end of their salary spectrum, and the currency impact mean that their buying power has been constrained. sobhi have got rising costs, and reducing and lower margin of sales all coming together to impact profit. even those who are actually doing quite well are seeing

profit reduction forecast, which is u nfortu nate for profit reduction forecast, which is unfortunate for shareholders. 0bviously, unfortunate for shareholders. obviously, we have seen some big names in trouble, toys "r" us, and others are examples. big retailers, small retailers, all the same problem? yes, and online, as well. typically, we hear it's all about online, actually it's relatively stable. it represents around 20% of all retail sales, and of course most of the large high—street names that we talk about have a strong online proposition, so no one is really immune to this. our consumer spending power is being held back, not necessarily constrained, we don't necessarily have less money, but we are less inclined to spend it more readily in the face of the backdrop of uncertainty. it is feeling a lot like two dozen eight in the context of what is coming out from the retailers, although the backdrop is very different. some would say that retailers have just

got to up their game. we are used to things now being on sale. the retailers have just got to work a bit harder to get us to spend? also, they created a problem for themselves, because they have realised that if we are playing that game with them, we're not spending u nless game with them, we're not spending unless it is discounted, so you end up unless it is discounted, so you end up with a vicious circle going on. we have seen that in the run—up to christmas, where it used to be, boxing day was the first day being seized are going to sail. they do have to up their game, and there is a competitiveness between all providers and services for what we would call share of wallet, but if i have spent my money taking my family out of a meal, i can't then go and buy something for the house, and it is that competitive is notjust between similar retailers, and between similar retailers, and between all those consumer facing but businesses for our limited amount of disposable income. the ones that do the best for offering great product, great prices and

great product, great prices and great expresses are likely to come out on top. thank you. we know it is called, but where? and how god. —— how cold? here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a cold start in many parts of the country, but some are much colder than others. east anglia, the saudis and eastern and southern scotla nd saudis and eastern and southern scotland have got the lowest temperatures this morning. we do still have a lot of cloud as well, we do have another weather front coming in from the north—west, so it is not a straightforward crisp and sunny start. this weather front is all ready starting to show signs of weakening, but it is giving snow as it comes across into the scottish mountains. but it will drift through, it will weaken, and already we have got the brightest guy is coming to the western eyes, with if

few winter showers, as well. —— brighter skies. —— western isles. a little bit of mist and freezing fog around, and quite a bit of cloud across wales and the south west, the midlands, west midlands. we have got this line of showers that keeps feeding in, and it will bejoined by that weakening weather fronts this afternoon. tom competitions to the dry story, but it was patchy rain until so, as well. 0vernight tonight, does clear temporarily in the north. good lunar eclipse in the ease, but even though it stays pretty cold towards morning in much the northern half of the country, we will have the onset of much thicker high cloud. it doesn't really arrest people in the temperatures, but it does 0scuro skies. again, one to

watch given that we have got that event taking place the night. 0nto -- it event taking place the night. 0nto —— it does obscure our skies. it is quite benign throughout the day, tomorrow, and then through the afternoon, northern ireland turns wetter, again that turns to snow on the mountains, as it does readily into scotland. then tomorrow evening, that then makes its way across the rest of scotland, across northern england and wales, and clears out the way, so we will see a speu clears out the way, so we will see a spell of snow, strong winds blowing around as it goes through tomorrow evening, and then finally clears. good be some wintry nurse further south, as well. unlikely to settle except for the peak district and the pennines. even the dues do, it is called, and those showers coming behind, as well, will be of sleet and snow. you get the idea. it is

cold, but at least there is some crisp sunshine. a bubbly more prefera ble crisp sunshine. a bubbly more preferable to —— probably more prefera ble preferable to —— probably more preferable to —— probably more preferable to the damp weather this time of year. pretty clear that it is going to be called from now. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's 08.19. 0ne one question as ever in politics, what now? lots of talk about plot in the house of commons. i am joined by three senior backbenchers to talk about that. by dominic raab, hilary benn and anna subaru, the leading tory remain. then i will be talking to keir starmer and liam fox. a lot of tonne to talk about, can they start to agree amongst themselves? watcher sat ten o'clock. that is a very good question. time now

for a look at the newspapers. politics lecturer victoria honeyman is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to victoria in a minute, first let's look at the front pages. 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. the telegraph has an article from international trade secretary liam fox, warning that failing to deliver on the 2016 referendum would open up a "yawning gap" between voters and parliament. there's also a picture of prince philip out driving yesterday afternoon. the observer reports thatjohn 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. a norfolk police spokesman said "suitable words of advice have been given to the driver". victoria, welcome. so much in the papers as ever about brexit. so much has happened. this is at the heart of the issue, isn't it? theresa may and the conservative party man and the real differences. it is relentless in the papers. there is literally nothing else. the article in the times really lays out the idea that theresa may is battling with everybody else. it isn't the government versus mps, it isn't the government versus mps, it isn't the government versus... it is

the government versus everybody, because everybody has got all these different ideas to what would be the preferred option. they lay out at the bottom five different parts through the brexit me is. they give a probability as to what is most likely. interestingly, they say the idea of a customs union that has been suggested by many, particularly by certain members of the conservative party and the labour party, incidentally, 20% probability. even the most likely option, which is the pm's deal is 40%. option, which is the pm's deal is a0%. we're not talking high probabilities, here, everybody is in disagreement with each other and it is absolute chaos. we have said this only times before, the clock is ticking. something must happen before march 29. quite honestly, it is very difficult to see how the government could get the required legislation through in order to the 29th of march to be dealt with. be under no illusions, a no deal is not

business as usual. it would affect every single aspect of our lives. that is enormous. so realistically, the idea of, you know, we willjust no deal and see how it goes, that is good to have a really impact on people's jobs, people's abilities to buy products in the shop. it is a dangerous game. you have got some people campaigning for that, saying that it people campaigning for that, saying thatitis people campaigning for that, saying that it is a preferred option?” noticed that it was a cheer for it on question time. this is a very, very angels game to play. when you are lecturing in politics # dangerous game. i know you get a lot of questions on this, and this will be a very fascinating period of history to look back on. given your job, this is interesting, look at options for what is happening next into the politics and the people involved. here, clearly visited the

latest vote, those who would support remain,... it is interested to see how it is game to be resolved, but eventually it will end in some way. it is difficult to see what the end point is going to be. there you have a list of individuals who may or may not be the leader of the conservative party. no massive surprises there. you could argue that jacob rees—mogg is surprises there. you could argue thatjacob rees—mogg is an surprises there. you could argue that jacob rees—mogg is an unlikely choice given that has never held a cabinet position, but then again tony blair had never had a cabinet position before, and became prime minister. letters briefly talk about that. it is about young people, and actually, you are from leeds. it is talking about student from leeds and their point of view. leeds was able city that voted remain on a slim majority. here, she says, the labour party have made great strides to

appeal to younger voters, young voters who look to corbin as being different to other politicians. here, they are talking to young people, saying that they do back corbyn, but they don't know what the labour party want. people actually threatening to leave the labour party, thinking about other parties they might vote for, because of that uncertainty about brexit. just to tour everyone up, tomorrow could be the worst day of the year. it is blue monday tomorrow. it is blue monday apparently. it is the time since christmas and the motivational levels. that is it that our viewers here on bbc one. we will be on bbc news channel until nine o'clock. stay with us until then. we are here.

all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. all around the world, scientists are looking for the latest medical breakthroughs — to help beat cancers and other diseases. and it's often with the help of the very latest technology that researchers make great progress — as our science correspondent richard westcott has been finding out in cambridge. this nobel prize—winning machine is revolutionising health care. to treat a disease, it helps to actually see the part that is going wrong. that is where a cryo—em microscope comes in. if you image it lots of different ways from lots of different angles, you can build up a 3—d image. i know this is a bit fuzzy, but how about this, the final 3—d image of the ribosome?

compete with troublesome yellow lump, a protein that is meant to break off but gets stuck, causing a rare but dangerous seeditiee called. shwachman—diamond syndrome. it's exciting we have is using pictures to find a drug treatment. i know this is a bit fuzzy, but how about this, the final 3—d image of the ribosome? compete with troublesome yellow lump, a protein that is meant to break off but gets stuck, causing a rare but dangerous condition called shwachman—diamond syndrome. it's exciting we have these new technologies, the new microscope facility. at his cambridge lab, professor alan warren is using pictures to find a drug treatment. like testing keys that a log, it is about matching up the shapes. so you literally need to zoom into here to see the shape that you are trying to find. you're looking for a drug to fit that shape. so the idea is we can find a drug that might sit at the interface between this protein and the rest of the ribosome, so we want to find something that will get into the groove and knock off this protein from the rest of the ribosome. it is so interesting that with all the modern technology, that a human being looking at the shape of the molecules are still really critical to your work.

that absolute truth. you have 10 million trillion little ribosome machines in your body. when they break down, they have been led to several cancers. looking at their shape should mean scientists can find drugs that can help. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and louise minchin. it's 8.30am. here's a summary of this morning's main 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. 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 eight 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 at queen elizabeth university hospital 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 mps, as well as business and union leaders, in the next few days. two people have been killed, and four seriously injured in a fire at the ski resort of courchevel.

it's reported those caught up were seasonal workers. the cause of the blaze is not yet known, but is believed to be under control. rescue teams searching for a two—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. 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. it was a tweet that prompted a fiery response. hannah summers revealed her

four—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, i'm harry, i'm a firefighter and i'm a girl. hi, esme. hi, esme! my name's samantha, i'm a girl and we're all firefighters! all: hi, esme! we're firefighters and we're girls! women crews from all over the world then posted a string of pictures and videos to prove they exist. later, esme's mum put up another post saying esme "firmly believes she can be a firefighter". what a great way to prove that. what a great way to prove that. what a great way to prove that. what a lovely story. time now for the sports news. it was a busy night.

that was quite a celebration. it was nervy, crystal palace made it 2-2 but it was nervy, crystal palace made it 2—2 but liverpool did just enough to win. it means that liverpool have that seven point cushion at the top of the premier league after what was a really testing encounter against palace. the londoners, you might remember, beat champions manchester city who play later today, and came very close to upsetting liverpool. here's nick parrott with that and the best of yesterday's other action. relief forjurgen klopp could so easily have been disappointment at anfield. this was liverpool back to how they used to be. slack at the back as andros townsend put crystal palace ahead against the run of play. but thrilling going forward as mo salah equalised. and roberto firmino put the reds ahead. ending their 29—year title drought is not going to be easy, though. defenders went missing as james tomkins drew palace level. and salah had to come to the rescue again with 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 from 60 points sounds crazy. is also hotting up. arsenalrearedfba ck.- fourth—placed chelsea 2—0. the gunners are nowjust three points behind their london rivals, as are manchester united. we don't give up.

it's a great team spirit. we can't win three, four, 5—0 every time and play fantasy football. at times, we did i think there was some fantastic football at times and delighted with three points. diegojota's hat—trick gave wolves got a 11—3 win over leicester, making the foxes' boss claude puel the bookies' favourite to be the next manager to leave his post. while the pressure eased on rafa benitez as his newcastle side moved out of the relegation zone, at the expense of fellow strugglers cardiff. andy carroll 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 end a run of four games without a win. nick parrott, bbc news. well, second—placed manchester city can close the gap at the top to four points 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 is huddersfield now in weather

conditions that are freezing. and every time we play against them, especially there in the cup, first season, last season, in the later minutes, always have been and will be complicated. 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. 22‘2 ié': 5&1? ::5 if ! ‘eflt‘d 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. 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. rafael nadal is through to the quarterfinals after beating tomas berdych in three sets. the number two seed won a third set tie break and has not dropped a set in the tournament so far. he'll face frances tiafoe who advanced with a win over grigor dimitrov. you can listen to coverage right now of roger federer‘s fourth round match from melbourne with tennis breakfast on radio five live sports extra. munster claimed a narrow

win to eliminate exeter and confirm their place in the european champions cup quarterfinals. exeter had a point lead at half—time but the visitors couldn't open up the seven—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 111—13 to book their place england captain 0wen farrell has had a minor procedure on a thumb injury, but his club insist it's not serious. farrell missed saracens' 38—19 win over glasgow yesterday, which secured them a home champions cup quarterfinal. the club says he'll need a little over a week to recover and he will be fit for england's opening six nations match against ireland on the 2nd of february.

one man who'll certainly be relieved that farrell's injury isn't serious is eddie jones. and ahead of that huge game in dublin, the england head coach has been stoking up the rivalry with ireland, claiming again that fly—half johnny sexton gets preferential treatment from officials. jones said this. "sexton has the bat phone to the referee. when he talks, the referee listens." in netball‘s quad series, england lost 48—45 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 4—0 up in his semifinal against dingjun—hui, before ding won the next three frames. but the seven—time masters champion recovered to win the match.

i wouldn't have been disappointed if i had lost because i love that guy so i had lost because i love that guy so much and i would have been happy to see him competing in the final. he wouldn't have done, he would have allowed everyone to the ground. but iam allowed everyone to the ground. but i am different like that, ijust enjoy playing, enjoy the occasion. i would have been so happy because he's such a special guide, a special talent. ireland's shane lowry kept his nerve to clinch a one—shot victory over nearest rival richard sterne of south africa in the abu dhabi championship. it was the 31—year—old's first title win in three and a half years. lowry‘s closing 71 saw him finish on 18—under—par with sterne a shot further back. 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. hisjockey nico de boinville only had to beat others in the clarence house chase at ascot after altior had scared off most of his rivals with his incredible

unbeaten record over jumps. an astonishing horse. just to go back to eddie jones. an astonishing horse. just to go back to eddiejones. he likes to stoke it up. playing mind games already. jonny sexton and the bat phone! he has said that before, and influential player. the key player. eddiejones knows that. he is getting into the minds of the officials ahead of a huge game for england against ireland. it all kicks off, wales are third in the world, kicking off against france on friday. that is when it gets going. thank you. after a crushing defeat for the prime minister's brexit deal, and the drama of a vote of no—confidence in the government, what will happen next at westminster? the snp say that if the brexit

deadlock is to be broken, theresa may needs to "fundamentally change her position". the party's foreign affairs spokesman is stephen gethins, and he's in our dundee studio. good morning, thank you forjoining us. good morning, thank you forjoining us. looking at the papers, we saw a procession of mps involved in discussions with the government, the snp very much a part of that, give us snp very much a part of that, give usa snp very much a part of that, give us a sense snp very much a part of that, give us a sense how these discussions are going. what is important is we are in a parliament of minority, something common in other parts of the uk such as scotland. westminster has this culture of the majority party ramming through legislation. we are not in that situation. we need to speak to each other. everyone knows the seriousness of the situation we have been left, the need to find some way through this.

that has been apparent for a long time. i hope the prime minister is genuine and when she says she's open to negotiations. she has 2.5 years now. that will continue tomorrow when we go back. are you part of those discussions tomorrow? absolutely, this is something i have been doing the 2.5 years now, speaking to colleagues in other political parties, to find common ground. we have a huge amount... here, we have been working with other parties, the labour and conservative parties, sharing views. the snp is reasonably well placed given it currently leads a minority government in scotland, passing legislation, and did so between 2007 and 2011. we were able to lead some

ground—breaking legislation around climate change and education. it can be done. scotland voted to remain, the country did not. what does the snp want? 0ver does the snp want? over two years ago, the scottish government set out a compromise option. 0ne government set out a compromise option. one thing we did was the first minister put together experts, collea g u es first minister put together experts, colleagues who had sat in european institutions, to come up with a compromise to stay in the customs union. that was two years ago. our preference is to have a second referendum so people get a say on it. what would they get to say on? , get a say on? it would have to be on remain. so you would be run... and

the alternative would have to be put down by those proposing it. one problem with this situation is those who campaign for leave, including senior tory posters, didn't have the response of the teeth to lay out what it meant, tory ministers. and the european research money used in medicine, chemistry. it is important to put down the details they didn't do before. to be clear, with regard to another referendum, is it a rerun of the same questions? remain has to be on the table. it is not for me to define my opponents and their choices, they need to be responsible defining what they want. scotla nd responsible defining what they want. scotland voted to in, as did my

constituency and every other accounting area in scotland. we want to see responsibility from others and set out an alternative. we are counting down the days. we need to suspend this article 50 process , need to suspend this article 50 process, give it time. there is no point crashing out the other side which will be damaging to business, the nhs, future opportunities for young people. an extension to article 50, time is running out to even do that. no, it is not. time doesn't run out to put a halt on this process until 29th march. as a court case made clear, the uk parliament which maintains its sovereignty and always has, can stop that. hollywood doesn't have sovereignty, the european parliament doesn't. , holyrood. iam working

with colleagues to make this happen. stephen gethins, thank you, we look forward to hearing the results of those talks. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. it is staying cold all week. in the sunshine, that will be the payoff. this is cambridgeshire, —6 out there this morning. elsewhere, rather more cloud, another weather fronts coming into the north west. it will weaken all the time with this area of high pressure. some showers across pembrokeshire and cornwall. this weather system is weakening, brighter skies coming into the western isles. there will be snow on the hills with this weather front.

sunny skies should follow this afternoon in scotland and northern ireland. in contrast, cloud from yesterday across england and wales. that weather fronts will come into northern england and wales, giving hill snow. a lot more cloud around for england and wales except the east midlands and south east where it should stay sunny and dry but not particularly warm, temperatures remain below average. 0vernight, we clear that cloud away. temperatures will drop, a widespread frost here. again, with that week by the front, week weather fronts, quite bitter in the north. it is the lunar eclipse tonight but we will see a lot of high cloud obscuring the skies in northern areas.

this is the reason for this, this dell averting area of low pressure, this developing area. tomorrow, it is quite benign, freezing fog, widespread frost in the morning. this comes in bringing rain initially to northern ireland, snow on the hills. then it will come across the rest of the country into the evening and turning to snow, several centimetres over the hills. we could see someone trueness further south, unlikely to settle but cold enough. the error is colder behind so the showers will fall as sleet and snow, area. the main risk of snow is overnight.

we will talk about that lunar eclipse a little bit later. the black rhino is the smaller of the african rhinos and is a critically endangered species. so, it's important for theirfuture that they get help with breeding programmes, from places like the yorkshire wildlife park. but how do you get a rhino to travel from germany to doncaster? by tempting it with lots of bananas, as keeley donovan has been finding out. this is najuma the black rhino at two weeks old. but two years on, she has most outgrown her enclosure at krefeld zoo in germany and her mother needs the space, as she's expecting a new baby rhino. the mother will drive her away, so she will start to hunt her, to attack her, because the next calf is on the way. and that means she will have to move

from here in germany to a new home here at the yorkshire wildlife park near doncaster. the space najuma will have in her new home is many times greater than she has in germany. the middle section will be her enclosure, all three acres of it. the hope is that one day she will be sharing it with a calf of her own. we want to make sure that she's comfortable and happy living next door to two males, and then, in the future, when it comes to breeding in a year or two, then we will introduce her, and hopefully we will have a successful a you don't have to be scared. there's a fence inside. is this her? that's right. special treats are used to coax her in and make her feel comfortable here. often the black rhinos are a little bit nervous and can be aggressive,

but the mother is very calm and the children are too. she looks very calm indeed. you can touch her, you just have to come from here. shall i feed her one? you can give her a banana. the biggest threat to rhinos in the wild is humans, but it's hoped an international breeding programme, which najuma and the yorkshire wildlife park are part of, will help save this critically endangered species. keeley donovan, bbc news, krefeld in germany. what a beautiful, marvellous animal. you can watch najuma'sjourney across europe on inside out in yorkshire and lincolnshire tomorrow at 7.30pm on bbc one, or on the bbc iplayer after that. 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. you have brought some really wonderful props. it looks spectacular. what is going on to cause this bust up a super moon, and a lunar eclipse at once. we have a football to be the earth. a tennis ball to be the moon. that is pretend you are the son. the super is pretend you are the son. the super moon, as is pretend you are the son. the super moon, as it orbits around the earth, it doesn't do it in quite a perfect circle, sometimes it is further away, sometimes nearer. when it is nearer, it looks bigger and brighter in the sky and that is what we call a super moon. there is also

the eclipse. in a lunar eclipse, the moon is in the earth's shadow so the light from the sun can't be getting directly to the moon. normally we see them in because light from the sun is reflecting. but here, the light can't get directly there. the little does get there but it has two bounce around the atmosphere to get to the moon. which gives it the red colour. as it bounces around, the different colours that make up sunlight get split up in effect, and the blue light bounces away and gets lost into space, but the red light finds its way to the moon. 0ne its way to the moon. one of my favourite escalations ever. this doesn't happen very often. i this doesn't happen very often. , favourite explanations. it doesn't happen very often at the same time. the next one isn't for long time.

the next one isn't for long time. the next one isn't for long time. the next eclipse where we can see it in its entirety in the uk is at the end of 2029. there are some others but we won't see the entire duration in the uk. when is a good time to see this? the period of totality when it will look red, depending where you live, between a:45am and 5:a5am tomorrow morning with its maximum at 5:15am. the eclipse starts when the moon moves into the shadow of the earth, at 2:30am. it could be 7:a5am when the moon completely comes out of shadow. there is a long period of time to see it. it will only look red right in the shadow between 5:a5am toucher a:45am

and 5:45am. give us a sense how exciting this is, given how read these things are to coincide. is it worth looking at? if it is clear, that is the big thing. if it is cloudy, stay in bed. we don't need binoculars? you can see it with the naked eye. unlike a solar eclipse, you don't need special equipment. you will be up to watch anyway? if it is clear. you have to wake up to note it is clear! thank you for such brilliant props. last year we had an orange. let us hope some of us managed to see that tomorrow. it looks like it will be spectacular. you will be back tomorrow.

i won't wear this dress. that's it from us for today. i'll be back from 6am tomorrow, with dan. have a good day, bye—bye. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 9.00. theresa may will brief ministers on her cross party talks later — downing street is warning mps not to block brexit. police say they have spoken to the duke of edinburgh after he was seen driving without a seatbelt 48 hours after being involved in a crash near sandringham. democrats reject president trump's latest offer to end the longest government shutdown in us history. iam here i am here today to break the logjam and provide congress with a path forward to and the government shutdown, and solve the crisis on the southern border. a bomb explodes in a car outside a courthouse in londonderry. police say no—one was injured in last night's blast.
