tv   Breakfast  BBC News  January 21, 2019 6:00am-8:30am GMT

6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: so the noes have it — the noes have it. what next for brexit? the prime minister will set out her latest plans to parliament, but will it be enough to break the deadlock? the prime minister will be back here in the commons with the outline of a plan b this afternoon, searching for compromise in an ocean of disagreement. this is what you might see if you look out of your window now, as the moon turns red in a rare total lunar eclipse. as more than a third of lesbian, gay, hi and trans employees say they have hidden their sexuality at work, i will look at which employers are most inclusive. judd trumps ronnie o'sullivan at the masters. he dominated the final to win his first major title for eight years. good morning. there is a cold and
6:01 am
frosty start to the day. a weather front bringing wet and snow to the hills in the north—west. i will have more in 15 minutes. it is monday 21 january. our top story: theresa may will today outline her next steps as she tries to find a way to break the brexit deadlock. she will make a statement to mps following talks yesterday with her cabinet. it is thought the prime minister will try to find a solution to the controversial irish backstop, a safety net designed to avoid the return of checkpoints on the border in ireland. let's speak to our political correspondent chris mason, who is in westminster for us this morning. so has she given up on wooing labour and the other opposition parties? lots of stories about how she may be changing who she is wooing. good morning to you. the wooing does continue, but there seems to be an
6:02 am
emphasis now within government on trying to convince conservative and dup mps around to the side of the argument of downing street, rather than expending too much further energy on persuading opposition mps. you will recall over the last few days there have been various overture is in the direction of jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, and they have all been snubbed and rejected. mr corbyn has not travelled up to downing street to break red with the prime minister. so the conclusion seems to be at downing street that that isn't going to happen, that labour would never be persuaded in significant numbers to back the prime minister's deal, so to back the prime minister's deal, so instead the focus of the conservatives and the dup, and trying to focus on this issue of the backstop, the insurance policy to keep the border open between northern ireland and the republic. trying to do something to that to persuade enough tory mps to change their mind. the problem is the
6:03 am
european union, as things stand, and for budging on it. intel is about these attempts by mps to rule an ideal breakfast —— brexit —— ain't for budging on it. there is a chance for budging on it. there is a chance for mps to amend this outline of a plan b, a sort of sketched outline ofa plan b, a sort of sketched outline of a plan b we are likely to get from the prime minister. they want to stop the uk leaving the european union with no deal at all at the end of the month after next, the end of march. and they feel that parliament is now in the driving seat, that the government is very much on the back, in the boot, even, with parliament taking the lead. they hope to be able to prevent that from happening. the government says that has to be able to remain an option because it isa able to remain an option because it is a useful negotiating tactic. they also point out that unless the law is changed and that remains the default option. if there is in the
6:04 am
deal, then no deal is what will happen. there will be another big vote, we a re happen. there will be another big vote, we are always counting down to something big in the brexit process. there will be another significant vote on 29 january, that is a week tomorrow. on a completely different note, can you see the supermoon?” can't, i went to bed last night and there was a big move out the window, work up this morning and in london todayit work up this morning and in london today it is cloudy. thank you very much. couldn't see anything in sheffield this morning either. doussain your pictures in if you have an especially good view this morning as well. millions of eu citizens living in the uk will be asked to apply for a new legal status from today, allowing them to stay after brexit. those who have lived here for five years or more can register online for settled status. it costs £65 and would allow people from european union countries to remain afterjune 2021. irish citizens are exempt from the rules. the government says the system will make it easy and straightfoward for residents to obtain settled status, but critics are warning
6:05 am
thousands could be left without legal status. we know that most people will find the process easy, but even if 5% of people miss out, that still nearly 200,000 people. what we don't want to happen is, in five years, ten yea rs' to happen is, in five years, ten years' time, you've got another windrush scandal, but on are much, much bigger scale. the government will today publish what it calls a landmark domestic abuse bill which it says will strengthen penalties for perpetrators and better protect victims. it means for the first time abusers will be banned from cross—examining their victims in the family court. the long—awaited legislation has been largely welcomed by campaign groups. what we'd really like to see is embedded specialist domestic abuse workers in the nhs, better
6:06 am
co—ordination between the court systems, so that they are speaking to each other, understanding the risks to various family members. we would like to see really great training on sex education and we wa nt to training on sex education and we want to see a cross government strategy on perpetrators of abuse which goes even further than what we've heard today. israel's military says it has started hitting iranian targets in syria. it said its operation is against the elite units of the iranian revolutionary guard. it provided no details, but overnight there were reports of strikes around the syrian capital, damascus. syrian media said air defences had repelled an israeli aerial attack. the eu is expected to impose sanctions today on the two russian intelligence officers accused of trying to murder sergei and yulia skripal. the father and daughter were poisoned with the nerve agent novichok in salisbury last year. it will be the first time the eu has used a new system of penalties set up to target the use of chemical weapons, which include financial sanctions and travel restrictions. police are continuing to question four men in connection with a car
6:07 am
bomb attack in londonderry on saturday night. no—one was hurt in the explosion. officers say they believe a dissident republican group, the new ira, who want to see a unified ireland, was responsible for the blast. new figures show china's economy grew last year at its slowest rate in almost three decades, stoking fears about the impact on the global economy. it grew at 6.6%. just this month, jaguar land rover said the slowdown in china was one reason why it was shedding 11,500 jobs. donald trump has attacked democrats for rejecting his proposals to end the longest government shutdown in us history. the president had offered temporary relief for millions of migrants in return for funding for his wall along the mexican border, but critics called the plans unacceptable and hostage—taking. the shutdown has now entered its 30th day, beating the record in 1995, when government closed down for 21 days. it is affecting everyday life
6:08 am
for millions of americans, but more so for 800,000 government employees going without pay. many have been forced to queue for food banks. we knew that there were a lot of people that were impacted and in need. we were thinking may be about 2000 people at the max would come by when we opened up. we already served, yesterday, well over 4000. the lines still wraps around the block right now, and there's really no sign of letting up. this shutdown is impacting a lot of people. many of the folks that we are talking with have never done this before, have never had to stand in line for a plate of food. there is something pretty special happening in the skies this morning. let's check in with our moon cam in kent. look at that. keep still! that was
6:09 am
oui’ camera moving, look at that. keep still! that was our camera moving, and not the moon, in case you're wondering. this is minnis bay, not too far from margate, and we can see a total lunar eclipse happening right now. it is where the earth passes between the moon and the sun and turns the moon a nice shade of red. you can see the sort of red at the bottom. yes, i think it would have been the whole thing. scientists believe it is the last time we will experience something like this in britain until 2029. let's go to los angeles. if you have not yet managed to catch a glimpse yourself, and it is cloudy where we are, you have until around 7:50am to do so, and please do send us your pictures. if you have clear skies you could see an amazing sight. it will be one of those days where all of your friends on social media send you some of the most hideous pictures.
6:10 am
we have a photographer, it will be a bit late, but for 2029, in preparation... talking about terrible moon pictures, shaun took one, we will show at the moment. it is one of those ones where you go did you see the moon? and it is appalling. you can see a speck in the sky. i am really disappointed i haven't been able to see it. if you can see it, we would love to see the pictures, even if we can't really see the moon. just tell us there is a moon there somewhere. see the moon. just tell us there is a moon there somewherelj see the moon. just tell us there is a moon there somewhere. i will change the subject, because i didn't look at it either. looks sort of like a white ball, a little snooker ball, a cue ball? it does look like a snooker ball. we are starting with the snooker this morning, because the snooker this morning, because thejuddernaut, judd
6:11 am
the snooker this morning, because the juddernaut, judd trump, was successful. judd trump thrashed ronnie 0'sullivan by 10—4 in the final of the masters snooker at alexandra palace. it is his first triple crown victory for eight years, and comes with a cheque for £200,000. the cat—and—mouse game continues in the premier league, with manchester city back to four points behind liverpool after a 3—0 win at bottom side huddersfield. city have now broken the 100—goal barrier this season. england beat australia, in a repeat of their historic commonwealth games final victory, but fell just short of the margin they needed to take the quad series. coach tracey neville said england had the momentum now, ahead of the world cup. both championship games go to overtime. the los angeles rams make it through to face the new england patriots, who have reached the finale for the third year in a row. i wonder if any of the los angeles rams were staring at the super wolf
6:12 am
blood moon. have i got that right? and sean saw it very clearly. blood moon. have i got that right? and sean saw it very clearlym blood moon. have i got that right? and sean saw it very clearly. it was incredible, it was a life changing experience. before we do that, we are here to look at the inside pages, but lets look at the front pages. the times says theresa may used a cabinet conference call yesterday to say she has halted the cross—party approach to brexit, and will now focus on securing changes from brussels designed to win over rebel conservatives and the dup. the main image is the queen in sandringham yesterday. the paper says she didn't wear a seatbelt for her lift to church. the express also reports on the cabinet conference call, with one brexit—supporting minister telling colleagues don't hijack brexit. the photo is ant and dec back together filming britain's got talent. the metro follows up on the car crash involving prince philip. the paper says the duke is failing to say sorry to two women who were injured. it is something we'll be talking about at 7:20am. and the daily mail reports
6:13 am
that the number of women attending cervical cancer screening appointments has fallen by 71%. ant mcpartlin features on its front page, too. it says he won't share the jungle with holly. meanwhile, one of the most read stories on the bbc news website, is the manchester city fan who was asked by a tv reporter, if he was going to be the new manager of huddersfield town. this really happened. cameras zoomed in on martin warhurst from wakefield, here on the right, in the belief that he was dortmund coach jan siewert. he is the man on the left. you can kind of see it. a sky sports reporter was then shown asking mr warhurst if he was the new manager. what did he say? he said no. it is a
6:14 am
shame he didn't run with it, wasn't it? still negotiating my deal. can we do shaun's picture now? this is important. there has been lots of super blood wolf moon pictures, and i don't think any will be better than sean's effort. you are kidding me. it is miniscule. blamed the camera, not the photographer. me. it is miniscule. blamed the camera, not the photographerlj me. it is miniscule. blamed the camera, not the photographer. i like the way you also have that lamppost. urban living, it is a problem. all of you lot sending in your nice pictures of the supermoon falls he has faked it. i made it quite clear. you were the one who lives in an urban environment, and you have seen it. in a century's time they will go
6:15 am
back to that date and dig out that picture. and it is cold this morning. this weekend, a lot of chat about hmv. mike ashley circles hmv in fresh move to add to his empire. pretty much every time any retailer goes into administration, but has been made of my sports direct with serious talks. the stricken music chain. house of fraser. 0f serious talks. the stricken music chain. house of fraser. of course, huge empire into our more and more. thought it was a chill is sought —— chills -- thought it was a chill is sought —— chills —— the skills shortage in the construction sector. skills shortage
6:16 am
is asked to dash of skills shortages are so is asked to dash of skills shortages are so high at the minute, it could ta ke are so high at the minute, it could take up to seven months from finding a decent tradesperson to getting it done. anybody who is actually good enough to do the job will have that backlog because of such a shortage. this is quite a good time of year because tried to book a builder, january is good. they will squeeze you in if you want a shortjob. who needs the federation of master builders? i think if they are really good, they will get work. it's like when you go for curry. if you order a curry in a curry house, and it in about two minutes... you should a lwa ys about two minutes... you should always ta ke about two minutes... you should always take a while. i have a picture of glee. a very gleeful
6:17 am
clean on the front. but look at the back. look at the look on the sky's base. 20 year are sold, rising greek star, he shocks wodge of better. his name is tsitsipas. i will be talking about this the morning. in the papers say in the new breed are making their move. this was from the times, i think, making their move. this was from the times, ithink, about making their move. this was from the times, i think, about the postal ballot for wimbledon. very strict rules. if you are sending your personal ballot, it has to be in a particular size envelope. not using black ink. other colours will render the application invalid. they are considering getting rid of the postal ballot. it's an institution.
6:18 am
it's terrifying. are you wearing a dress on so—called blue monday? it's terrifying. are you wearing a dress on so-called blue monday? yes. it's because of blue monday. yesterday by mistake, i wore a dress that literally looks like the super—moon. it was a subliminal message. i thought i wouldn't wear it today. try to cheer people up. message. i thought i wouldn't wear it today. try to cheer people upm terms of moving pictures, the north—west of —— the north—east of england, very clear skies. they are up england, very clear skies. they are up early. carol can probably tell us where you should wake up this morning where the clear skies are. in the south—east, in kent example, fabulous pictures of the moon in
6:19 am
twitter. parts of northern england, as you've mentioned, we do have a lot of cloud first thing, especially across the central swathe of the uk and as we go through this week, its bit to be cold but by friday, images will recover and we are looking at some wintry showers. as you can see, the next one coming. some rain and hill snow and school you wince. all this cloud across the central swathe of the uk. some hazy sunshine. the cloud will build on the north—west. we see some showers before the arrival of the rain. we are looking at squally winds. some hill snow ahead of it. temperature—wise, 4—7, 80 eight degrees as we push into the south—west. as we go through this evening and overnight, the temperatures will rapidly drop, the
6:20 am
airwill be temperatures will rapidly drop, the air will be colder and as the rain comes in, it bumps into the cold air. especially on the hills but not exclusively, we could see some wet snow orjust some snow coming down to lower levels. meanwhile, a band of rain continues. still quite windy. it is going to be cold. watch out price on untreated surfaces. this band of rain, sleet and possibly snow in the hills. what you'll find is there will be more snow. most of these will be on the hills. some of these could be getting down to lower levels but there are showers. not all of us will catch one. don't be surprised if you do. the south—west favoured for something a bit milder. as we move for something a bit milder. as we m ove o nto for something a bit milder. as we move onto the course of wednesday, a frosty start, widespread frost, a
6:21 am
lot of blue skies around. as it still is cold, we still will have showers and will be wintry nature. you've heard it before, some of the heavier showers, could well see them coming down to lower levels. temperatures again in low to mid single figures. 0nce temperatures again in low to mid single figures. once again this week, wrap up warmly. lots of people doing that because they've been out all night. a cold start to the day. goodness me. many skywatchers have been up all night to catch a glimpse of what some are calling a ‘super blood wolf moon'. it's a total lunar eclipse, where the earth passes precisely between the sun and the moon — turning the moon red. we're joined in the studio by the astronomer professor tim 0'brien — we'll speak to him in a moment. first let's go to minnis bay in kent and speak with amateur astronomer gill palmer, who's been up early to catch the eclipse.
6:22 am
we certainly did see it. i've been out here since three o'clock this morning. 15, 20 of us who came down. we saw the whole thing. it's behind me right at this moment. it is spectacular. but never seen anything like it in our lives. not until 2029. i would like it in our lives. not until 2029. iwould hope like it in our lives. not until 2029. i would hope everybody is wearing similar headwear. as everybody got hats on? they have but not like mine. i'm just keeping it
6:23 am
going. it's an exciting day. what is it about astrology that fascinates you? i need to say first of all, it's not astrology. it astronomy. i know. sorry, don't get cross with me. it's just know. sorry, don't get cross with me. it'sjust such a fascinating subject. i'm not a scientist or mathematician or anything like that at all. i love the fact that there is so much more out there and being pa rt is so much more out there and being part of this astronomy group, and i've just learned so much and seen so many things. i hadn't been part of this group. how many people are up of this group. how many people are up all night watching with you. how
6:24 am
did you stay warm? we got socks on, loads of scarves, duvets, and i think probably about 20 people came down in the end. that all disappeared. 0ne down in the end. that all disappeared. one of them being martin, who has his own wolf with us. for the wolf moon. his dog. i heard you saying earlier, it is blue monday and we are definitely blew right now. it's lovely to speak to you. all ways. we are in a position to bring you like pictures. we are professional astrologer... to bring you like pictures. we are professional astrologer. . ij to bring you like pictures. we are professional astrologer... i should have given you a hard stuff. i felt the burden. how does this work?
6:25 am
there are amateur astronomers so excited about this. i leave not stuffed much. it went cloudy and funny and foggy. by the sound of it, that had great views. that feeling of connection, people have been doing exactly that. you don't see these amazing cosmic spectacles and asa these amazing cosmic spectacles and as a professional astronomer, we wouldn't be training our big radio telescopes but to be honest, some of the same physics that goes on, the reason why the moon goes red, the light is filtered. exactly the same sort of thing. we are looking at planets and all the stars. these are
6:26 am
my pictures now. what's happening, you can see the edge of the work. —— edge of the earth. that is the's shadow on the right. the moon is behind you. it's going past the earth. that is the edge of the shadow of the earth. the moon is moving. the eclipse ends at about 745 completely. the colour has changed. it goes a very dark red colour. the life that you are seeing, that's a picture earlier on when you have that dusty orange. you just see a bit of the light in the top right in this case. probably as
6:27 am
it was coming into the shadow of the earth. like when you see the bright full moon in the sky, what you are seeing is light reflected from the sun. that is surely the light that is made a way through, just like a sunset. this red light that you see. we'll both a bit disappointed because not see this morning. we have, it's as good as this one. you will see it all the way, going into the earth's shadow. there is one in 2022 when you can catch itjust as moon is setting. it will be low—down on the horizon. just enjoy everyone else's pictures. there are real pictures, pictures people have made
6:28 am
of her own blood moon, absolutely brilliant. i'm going to go away and make a hats now. that's a challenge for this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. an 18—year—old man will appear in court today charged with the murder ofjayden moodie earlier this month. the 14—year—old was knocked from his moped and stabbed to death in waltham forest. ayoub majdouline, who is from the wembley area, is due to appear at thames' magistrates later today. an nhs service in camden is said to have saved £2.4 million by treating elderly and vulnerable patients in their own homes. it's estimated more than 700 hospital admissions were avoided last year as a result of patients being seen by a rapid response team.
6:29 am
we being seen by a rapid response team. estimate the admission we estimate that our hospital admissionjust for we estimate that our hospital admission just for one—day costs about £3000 going to the emergency department and being admitted to award. that response costs about £800 so the savings are enormous. this week, we're hearing from the capital's young religious leaders and find out how they're shaping theirfaiths for younger generations. 28 year old sarah mcdonald says it often surprises people that she's a vicar. i think that people have a view on their head of what a vicar looks like the type of person that is a vicar and like the type of person that is a vicarandi like the type of person that is a vicar and i don't think 0s fits that which is kind of good, i mean that's one of the reasons i wanted to go in the church, being christian doesn't mean we look the way you think it does. female firefighters have posted pictures of themselves on social media after a 4—year—old girl said she thought only men could sign up. hannah summers from london revealed how her daughter esme wished she was a boy so she could join the brigade as she'd only seen firemen in books. it led to reponses from around the uk. let's take a look at
6:30 am
the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning and on the trains — there are delays to southern services through streatham hill following a points failure. 0n the roads in waterloo: contraflow on york road near the station because of construction works. fulham high streetis partially blocked because of an accident. finally in the west end, regent street is closed southbound at beak street for repairs to a gas leak. now the weather. good morning. it is a cold start this morning, temperatures down below zero saw widespread frost. it's going to stay cold relief much of this week. for this morning, were got a little bit of sunshine and that sunshine, you're more likely to hang onto it further south and east. could be quite a nice david mcleod elsewhere will gradually start to increase moving in from the west and becoming thicker through the afternoon. temperatures today are
6:31 am
going to feel quite cold, around five or six celsius and overnight tonight, that cloud will continue to increase. 0utbreaks tonight, that cloud will continue to increase. 0utbrea ks of tonight, that cloud will continue to increase. outbreaks of rain and some heavy rain will push through. some of that could turn a little bit wintry, maybe over higher ground. rain to lower levels and temperatures staying between one and three celsius. a very wet stuff as some of us but that rain will clear away eastwards. behind that, plenty of sunshine through the afternoon. rather cold, through this week, and into next week it is set to getjust a little bit colder. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. don't break things, it is early. don't break things, it is earlylj have ruined the computer. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it is 6:30am. we will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment.
6:32 am
but also on breakfast this morning: as the duke of edinburgh's car crash continues to make headlines, we are asking how well has the royal family handled the incident? we have the incredible story of the woman who made the decision to amputate her leg to try to escape a life of pain. we will find out later if the operation has worked. and actorjosh 0'connor hit our screens last night playing marius in the tv series les miserables. he is on the sofa later. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: theresa may will make a statement in the commons this afternoon outlining her latest plans for brexit, after her withdrawal agreement was voted down by mps. mrs may held a conference call with her cabinet on sunday, and it is understood she wants to find a solution to the controversial irish backstop, a safety net designed to avoid the return of checkpoints on the border in ireland, in the hope of winning support
6:33 am
from the dup to help get a revised withdrawal agreement through parliament. some mps are expected to table a series of amendments this week. one group, including senior labour mp yvette cooper, wants to suspend the article 50 withdrawal process if there is no new deal with brussels by the end of february. if it hasn't been sorted by the end of february, if the government hasn't got a deal through, then parliament house to have a vote on whether or not to extend article 50, to just make sure that, given the clock is running down, there is a way to prevent us just crashing out with no deal, with the huge damage that that would mean. millions of eu citizens living in the uk will be asked to submit home office applications from today which will allow them to stay after brexit. those who have lived here for five years or more can register online for settled status. it costs £65 and would allow people from european union countries to remain afterjune 2021.
6:34 am
irish citizens are exempt from the rules. the government will today publish what it calls a landmark domestic abuse bill which it says will strengthen penalties for perpetrators and better protect victims. it means, for the first time, abusers will be banned from cross—examining their victims in the family court. the long—awaited legislation has been largely welcomed by campaign groups. israel's military says it has started hitting iranian targets in syria. it said its operation is against the elite units of the iranian revolutionary guard. it provided no details, but overnight there were reports of strikes around the syrian capital, damascus. syrian media said air defences had repelled an israeli aerial attack. the eu is expected to impose sanctions today on the two russian intelligence officers accused of trying to murder sergei and yulia skripal. the father and daughter were poisoned with the nerve agent
6:35 am
novichok in salisbury last year. it will be the first time the eu has used a new system of penalties set up to target the use of chemical weapons, which include financial sanctions and travel restrictions. police are continuing to question four men in connection with a car bomb attack in londonderry on saturday night. no—one was hurt in the explosion. officers say they believe a dissident republican group, the new ira, who want to see a unified ireland, was responsible for the blast. new figures show china's economy grew last year at its slowest rate in almost three decades, stoking fears about the impact on the global economy. it grew at 6.6%. just this month, jaguar land rover said the slowdown in china was one reason why it was shedding 4,500 jobs. you up—to—date with most of the main
6:36 am
stories. —— you are up—to—date. and take a look at these stunning pictures of a frozen waterfall in china. this huge icicle waterfall is from mount tai, in shandong province. that is the benefit of a drone. with temperatures below zero, the waterfall has frozen over the 80—metre—high cliffs, creating this spectacular crystal wonderland. a bit like this trophy, really. very good. that is the link of the day. that is very unusual for me, as you all know. that is the link of the day, that is thejuddernaut, my favourite name forjudd trump. in his interview afterwards, he says he was completely fed up with being beaten by everybody. it shows you that attitude makes such a difference. it is like a mind game. judd trump thrashed ronnie 0'sullivan in the final of the masters at alexandra palace. it was a surprisingly one—sided match, trump winning by 10—4 to take his first triple crown event since 2011. the trophy comes with a cheque for £200,000. it's incredible.
6:37 am
i think — i've obviously waited a long time for this. it's been sort of seven or eight years since i won my last big one in the uk, and obviously at times you're thinking whether you're going to win a big tournament again. so to come here, and this is close to home now, only 20 minutes away, it's like my local tournament, is a dream come true. manchester city are back to four points behind premier league leaders liverpool after winning 3—0 at bottom side huddersfield. leroy sane scored their third goal, taking city's total to 102 but just look at this. a lifelong huddersfield fan was mistaken forjan siewert, who is tipped to be their new manager. his reply was, "no, i'm martin from wakefield". not the german super manager, but he
6:38 am
does look a little bit like him. england midfielder dele alli is the latest name on tottenham's injury list. he suffered a hamstring injury in their win at fulham. harry winks scored the winner in the last minute of stoppage—time to keep them five points behind city. it was — you know, it was a frustrating night, to be fair. there was a lot of moments where we had close calls, or they defended really well. and, you know, it seemed like it was going to be a difficult night, but the belief we have in the team — we score late goals when we keep believing, and today was no different. the semi—professional side auchinleck talbot produced the shock of the weekend in the scottish cup, knocking out ayr united, and their reward is an away tie at hearts in the fifth round. they beat livingston 1—0, sean clare with the goal. holders celtic will be at home to stjohnstone. the full draw is on the bbc sport website. england beat australia in a repeat of their historic commonwealth games final victory, but they didn't quite get the winning margin they needed
6:39 am
to take the quad series. tracy neville's side had to win by five goals at london's copper box, but it finished 52—49. australia won the series, but the match was a great recovery by england, who lost to south africa the day before. it's really hard to get a win. people — you know, we've not had a win for a long time — really appreciate how hard it is. and to stop winning is really, really hard. so to go out here and win today shows that we're a team that can turn it around in 24 hours, and that for me is what we need to do at the world cup. we need to have that in our bank. the world cup this year... no, this year. defending champion roger federer said he had massive regrets after being knocked out of the australian open. he lost in four sets to the stefanos tsitsipas, who is the first greek player to reach a grand slam quarter—final. it is only the second time in 16 years that federer has failed to make the last eight in melbourne.
6:40 am
massive regrets, tonight, imight not massive regrets, tonight, i might not look the part, but i felt like i have to win the second set. i don't care how i do it, you know, but i have to do it. so it cost me the game tonight. we now know who will be playing in this year's super bowl. new england patriots have made it for the third time in a row, after beating kansas city chiefs in overtime. and the other game went to overtime, as well. the los angeles rams trailed new orleans saints throughout, until greg zuerlein kicked a 57—yard field goal to give them the win. the super bowl is in atlanta on 3 february. now, here is a sport we don't bring you on television too often. it is the british synchronised skating championships, in nottingham, with localfavourites and winners icicles in the senior free skating category. quite hypnotic to watch.
6:41 am
i have never seen this before. icicles now go through to the world championships in helsinki. stay on these pictures. incredible, isn't it? named after their favourite cereal, as well. beautiful. they are ricicles, aren't they? i don't know what is going on in your brain today, but it is funny. it is brilliant, isn't it? i didn't know that existed. we need to get might shall to try that one out. definitely mike, not me —— mike busheu definitely mike, not me —— mike bushell to try that one out. from today, millions of eu citizens who live in the uk, some of whom have called it home for decades, will be asked to apply for a new legal status allowing them to continue living and working here.
6:42 am
if they don't, ultimately they risk deportation. so how will it work? it costs £65 for adults to register online for settled status. it affects those who have lived here continuously for five years or more. eu citizens who have been here for less than that can apply for pre—settled status, until they are eligible for full settlement rights. the rules do not apply to people from ireland. we have been to meet two families who have made their homes in britain, to get their reaction. 0ur our daughter, helene, was born 19 weeks ago. it's been quite a change in our lives, but where really enjoying it. my name is janna, and i've lived in the uk for eight yea rs. i've lived in the uk for eight years. eu citizens will need to apply to continue to live after 2020 in the uk. so what do i think about it? iam in the uk. so what do i think about it? i am not necessarily offended by
6:43 am
it? i am not necessarily offended by it or upset by it. i think that one way or another people will have to register that they are eu nationals, as there is no longer free register that they are eu nationals, as there is no longerfree movement of people. we have to pay for you to stay here. personally i think the country should be able to determine who comes here and who doesn't, and for that to happen you need to register. yes, i for that to happen you need to register. yes, lam not offended by this, at all. if i'm brutally honest, i hope brexit will not happen and that we don't have too apply for a settled statement at all, and just continue with our lives as they are. my name is george kontakos, i've been running the 0live kontakos, i've been running the olive grove for 16 years, and i've been here for longer. at this moment we put all our plans on hold, we don't know what the future will be. we're just a little bit stressed to
6:44 am
see what's going to happen with our settlement status. my name is francesca konta kos, settlement status. my name is francesca kontakos, i was born in the united kingdom and i've been married to george for ten years. i'm fortu nate to married to george for ten years. i'm fortunate to be british and have been born here. george is not so fortu nate, been born here. george is not so fortunate, however, and doesn't hold a british citizenship, because being a british citizenship, because being a european was just as good as. but now we are that a bit worried about what the future holds for us and holds row family. you need to think of some ideas. the. what guarantees do we have that a future government mightjust do we have that a future government might just scrap our settled status applications and make us illegal citizens in this country? it makes me feel scared. and anxious and worried about my future, not just me feel scared. and anxious and worried about my future, notjust in england, but as a person in the world. if this insecurity that i feel from my country, that is worrying me. because i think that
6:45 am
the country that i'm living in, if they don't want a husband here, but there's no place for me here. my husband is my family, my husband is my life, and i will follow him anywhere he does. and if not welcome to country, then my country's no longer my country. thank you so much to all of you who have been lucky enough, and i really am very envious, to see the lunar eclipse. thank you for your photographs this morning. colin fearn took this from penryn in cornwall. carol said it was good over the south—west. carol said it was good over the south-west. it is always fun presenting with you, but particularly today. things coming out of my mouth, i am not sure. the eclipse was also visible from bishop's stortford — maggie eccleston sent us this one. spectacular, not so close, but i
6:46 am
like it. ashley fuggle in folkestone was out early this morning to capture this, showing the moon glowing red. real name, by the way. that is what tim was talking about. and finally, this is john ponting's effort from welwyn garden city — taken just before the moon disappeared behind the clouds. got some live shots view now. we are taking you to a moon camera in kent. that does the particularly spectacular. are we not showing the picture. we have a beautiful picture coming in. someone even sent a picture in. remember gladiators? do

6:48 am
weather front approaches, what shall find is the cloud thickening, some showers and the rain coming in. with some hills flow. temperatures will be about four, seven, maybe eight. do this evening, that temperatures will drop quickly. they will readily turned to snow on the hills. we could seek some snow for a time. we could seek some snow for a time. we could seek some snow for a time. we could see it moving south eastwards. we can see we are looking for some snow showers following on behind. also, with the dampness around, temperatures like this, there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. tomorrow, we start off with a mix of rain, sleet and snow. we got a lot
6:49 am
of dry weather. it will be wintry in places. we will see some further snow in the hills. another cool day. for wednesday, we will start off on a frosty note. a lot of dry weather around on wednesday. we are not immune to those showers but once again, they are showers. they will be mostly wintry on the hills. temperature—wise, again. about four, seven, eight degrees. thursday, more of the same. a lot of dry weather around. friday, we start to see something a little less coming in.
6:50 am
more or less likely to see snow. ijust i just know that certain schoolchildren would know. we will wait and see. particularly chilly this morning. there is no super—moon. i'm all right. 650 is the time. one of the finest. it was a great experience. a lot of people

6:53 am
been out in the workplace. people have this difficulty getting on with you, they might not be quite open about it. not really open as they we re about it. not really open as they were before. and being inclusive in the workplace. why do you think that is? in those sorts of sectors, you really wa nt is? in those sorts of sectors, you really want to get on with your co—workers and be a team player. you don't want to do anything that will make you stand out too much. your day—to—day is working with people several hours a day. unfortunately, there are some workplaces where people have difficulties getting on with you. you look at the many companies and local authorities, and the list. right across the spectrum of businesses, what are the main
6:54 am
thing is, do you think? businesses that are inclusive, what are the main things they are doing? really key factor is just funding. finding the money to do these things. i worked in the ministry ofjustice and someone workplace i found. i am and someone workplace i found. i am a member of our spirit network, you just worked through and see pictures of theirfamily. just worked through and see pictures of their family. you would assume a government sector to be more sterile. they are open to more inclusivity. if you got small businesses out there. various rising costs. what can you do if your small business and you don't the money? there are lots of agencies you can look it. i am in birmingham. organisations can go there. we have

6:57 am
i'm tolu adeoye. an 18—year—old man will appear in court today charged with the murder of 14 year old jayden moodie. the teenager was knocked off his moped and stabbed to death in waltham forest earlier this month. ayoub majdouline, who is from the wembley area, is due to appear at thames' magistrates later today. an nhs service in camden is said to have saved £2.4 million by treating elderly and vulnerable patients in their own homes. it's estimated more than 700 hospital admissions have been avoided since last april by referring patients to a rapid response team. we estimate that our hospital admission, just for one—day, costs about £3,000 — that's going through the emergency department then being admitted to a ward. on average, a length of stay with that response costs about £800, so the savings are enormous. that's just for a 1—day stay. this week we're hearing from the capital's young religious leaders to find out how they're shaping theirfaiths for younger generations.
6:58 am
28—year—old sarah mcdonald says it often surprises people that she's a vicar. i think that people have a view in their head of what a vicar looks like, and the type of person that is a vicar, and i don't think i always fit that, which is kind of good. like, that's one of the reasons i wanted to go in the church, was to say, like, being christian doesn't always look the way we think it does. female firefighters have been posting pictures of themselves on social media after a four year—old girl said she thought only men could sign up. hannah summers from london revealed how her daughter esme wished she was a boy so she could join the brigade. it led to reponses from around the uk. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes — there are minor delays on the piccadilly line. otherwise it's a good service. on the trains — there are delays to southern services through streatham hill following a points failure. turning to the roads. in waterloo there's a contraflow on york road near the station because of construction works. so there will be more congestion around there. elsehwhere fulham high street
6:59 am
is partially blocked because of an accident. finally in the west end — regent street is closed southbound at beak street for repairs to a gas leak. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a cold start this morning, temperatures down below 0 so a widespread frost. it's going to stay cold, really, for much of this week. for this morning, we've got a little bit of sunshine. that sunshine, you're more likely to hang onto it further south and east. could be quite a nice day. the cloud elsewhere will gradually start to increase moving in from the west and becoming thicker through the afternoon. temperatures today, they are going to feel quite cold, around 5 or 6 celsius. now, overnight tonight, that cloud will continue to increase. we'll get some outbreaks of rain and then some heavy rain will push through. now, be warned — some of that could turn a little bit wintry, mainly over higher ground. but with all this rain to lower levels, the temperatures staying above zero, between
7:00 am
between 1 and 3 celsius. so it's going to be a very wet start for some of us first thing tomorrow but that rain will clear away eastwards. behind it, we'll see plenty of sunshine, especially through the afternoon. it is going to stay rather cold, through, really through this week, and as we head into next week it's set to getjust a little bit colder. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: so the noes have it — the noes have it. what next for brexit? the prime minister will set out her latest plans to parliament, but will it be enough to break the deadlock? the prime minister will be back here in the commons with the outline of a plan b this afternoon, searching for compromise in an ocean of disagreement. this is what gee might seem w " f” in a rare total lunar eclipse.
7:01 am
one year on from being banned. . ‘t’tfimés ea “11 52“; f“; my,“ good morning. it is a cold and frosty start to the day. there is some cloud around, but the sunshine today will be hazy as a result and we have a weather front coming in from the north—west introducing rain and hill snow. buti from the north—west introducing rain and hill snow. but i will have more than 15 minutes. —— morte in 15 minutes. it is monday 21 january. our top story: theresa may will make a statement in the commons this afternoon outlining her latest plans for brexit, after her withdrawal agreement was voted down by mps. mrs may held a conference call with her cabinet on sunday, and it is understood she wants to find a solution to the controversial irish backstop, a safety net designed to avoid the return of checkpoints on the border in ireland, in the hope of winning support
7:02 am
from the dup to help get a revised withdrawal agreement through parliament. in a few moments, we will be live in westminster with our political correspondent chris mason and conservative mp sarah wollaston. millions of eu citizens living in the uk will be asked to submit home office applications from today which will allow them to stay after brexit. those who have lived here for five years or more can register online for settled status. it costs £65 and would allow people from european union countries to remain afterjune 2021. irish citizens are exempt from the rules. the government says the system will make it easy and straightfoward for residents to obtain settled status, but critics are warning thousands could be left without legal status. we know that most people will find the process easy, but even if 5% of people miss out, that's still nearly 200,000 people.
7:03 am
what we don't want to happen is, in five years', ten years' time, you've got another windrush scandal, but on a much, much bigger scale. the government will today publish what it calls a landmark domestic abuse bill which it says will strengthen penalties for perpetrators and better protect victims. it means, for the first time, abusers will be banned from cross—examining their victims in the family court. frankie mccamley reports. sarah, not her real name, survive yea rs of sarah, not her real name, survive years of domestic abuse. he would control finances, so comment on what i spent, how much i spent, asked me why i spent something, so ijust stopped. if i was going out with my friends, he comment on the outfits, it was too short, i looked too fat. but when she had to fight to keep the child she had with him, she had
7:04 am
to face her abuser in family court, where he was allowed to cross—examine her. where he was allowed to cross-examine her. it re- traumatises you. you believe them more than yourself, because they are allowed to tell you how to think, and he was allowed to tell me how to think the three years, so by allowing him to cross—examine me in court for three hours, it took me back to a place i thought i would have got away from. the cross—examination by a perpetrator is just cross—examination by a perpetrator isjust one practice cross—examination by a perpetrator is just one practice the government wa nts to is just one practice the government wants to abolish as it launches its d raft wants to abolish as it launches its draft domestic abuse bill. the proposed legislation would include a new definition of domestic abuse, including economical abuse, by controlling things like finances or stopping someone from going to work. domestic commissioner, and domestic abuse protection orders, putting restrictions on offenders. polygraphs will also be piloted on perpetrators who are at a high risk of reoffending to check they haven't broken their conditions of parole. but, with no new money backing the proposals, some charities are only
7:05 am
cautiously welcoming the bill. what we'd really like to see is embedded specialist domestic abuse workers in the nhs, better co—ordination between the court systems, so that they're speaking to each other, understanding the risk to various family members. we'd like to see really great training around relationships and sex education, and we want to see a cross—government strategy on perpetrators of abuse which goes even further than what we've heard today. the bill for england and wales will now be scrip —based by parliament. it follows new scottish domestic abuse legislation introduced last year focusing on controlling behaviour. a proposed law in northern ireland has been put on hold until stormont assembly reconvenes. israel's military says it has started hitting iranian targets in syria. it said its operation is against the elite units of the iranian revolutionary guard. it provided no details, but overnight there were reports of strikes around the syrian capital, damascus. syrian media said air defences had repelled an israeli aerial attack. the eu is expected to impose sanctions today on the two russian
7:06 am
intelligence officers accused of trying to murder sergei and yulia skripal. the father and daughter were poisoned with the nerve agent novichok in salisbury last year. it will be the first time the eu has used a new system of penalties set up to target the use of chemical weapons, which include financial sanctions and travel restrictions. police are continuing to question four men in connection with a car bomb attack in londonderry on saturday night. no—one was hurt in the explosion. officers say they believe a dissident republican group, the new ira, who want to see a unified ireland, was responsible for the blast. there is something pretty special happening in the skies this morning. quite a few people have been staying up quite a few people have been staying up all night to see the super blood wolf moon. let's check in with our moon cam in kent. we are live at the moment, keep
7:07 am
still. it is like the bridge of the starship enterprise, what on earth is happening with our camera? this is minnis bay, not too far from margate, and we can see a total lunar eclipse happening right now. it is still wobbling. it is where the earth passes between the moon and the sun and turns the moon a nice shade of red. not so red right now, though. and this is los angeles, a beautiful sight. so many stayed up all night to catch a glimpse. i am not so lucky. earlier we heard from amateur astronomer gill palmer, who had been up bright and early to see the eclipse. i've been out here since 3:00am this morning. there's a whole band of 15, 20 of us
7:08 am
who came down with telescopes. we saw the whole thing. it's spectacular. we've never seen anything like it in our lives. sean had a go at taking a picture of the moon on his way to work this morning. with a lamppost in shot, his headwear, a bit of tree, and a tiny bit of moon. thankfully lots of you have managed to do a little better — let's take a look at a few of them. graham mcloughlin took this from preston in lancashire. that is moody. colin fearn had a good view from penryn in cornwall, showing a nice deep red shade. this is how it looked for liz wheeler in surrey.
7:09 am
and finally, here's steve green's effort from brixham. steve, steve, steve. what is it, chorizo? steve, like you, has been frustrated by not seeing the moon, so he has made his own. iam not i am not sure whether carol managed to see the moon, did you manage to seeit? to see the moon, did you manage to see it? no, i didn't. there was too much cloud. i travelled 25 miles' driving, trying to keep an eye on the road and that i am the sky, but good morning everyone. this week it will be cold. if you are out looking for the moon last night you will have noticed how cold it was, some parts falling to —6 or below. some showers will get down to low levels, there will be sharp frost spot by friday something less cold coming our way. however, the weekend is not looking mild by any stretch. this
7:10 am
weather front sinking southwards produced the cloud which obscure the moon for many areas. the second one coming in will introduce rain, squally winds around it and also some hill snow. so we start off, some hill snow. so we start off, some of us, with some sunshine where we've had some clear skies by night. where we have the cloud it will tend to then but we will see some sunshine, albeit hazy. in the cloud will thicken across western scotland and northern ireland, introducing some rain and some hill snow. now, the rain could be heavy in places and it will be squally around this band of rain. so we are looking at temperatures five to about seven or eight. as we head to the evening and overnight temperature will drop like a stone as soon as it gets dark, so as the rain moves across the cold airwill as the rain moves across the cold air will readily turn to snow and you can see the band moving across england and wales, out of scotland and northern ireland, heading down towards the south—east. it will have in it towards the south—east. it will have inita towards the south—east. it will have in it a mix of rain, sleet and snow, most of the snow at higher ground. hyder, a platter of showers. once
7:11 am
again, many of those will be snow on the hills but even at lower levels we could well see a dusting by the time we get to tomorrow morning. talking of tomorrow morning, we have the dregs of that weather front to clear. it will do, taking its rain, sleet and snow onto the near continent. behind it, a lot of sgtinenm and around the showers the winds. some of north—westerly winds. somerofthese— be north—westerly winds. some of those will be heavy and wintry, notjust on the hills. some at lower levels as well. but they are showers, so not all of us will see them. temperatures not too dissimilar to what we are looking at today. wednesday starts off on a frosty note. once again there will be areas of cloud. a lot of sunshine, though, on wednesday, but you can see the
7:12 am
showers coming in on the north—westerly wind. so favoured western areas, some of them getting towards the east, some will be heavy and wintry, and in the heavy and literary ones you could see some sleet at lower levels. the first day it is more of the same once again. once again we are chasing brakes in the cloud, there will be some showers, some of them wintry. it will be cold and on friday look at the difference in the temperatures. they start to creep up just a little bit. what it is not going to last. we have a few minutes... we have half—an—hour left of people being able to see the supermoon, so some people could still get lucky, couldn't they? absolutely, clear skies across scotland, northern england, south—east england and east anglia. these are the favoured areas. you might be lucky and find where we have the cloud base across central part that you will see the odd hole, so i would sayjust have a look. so in those places caryl mentioned, wake up and have a look outside. and we will show you some pictures throughout the morning if you can't see it where you are —— carol. as the brexit deadlock continues, the prime minister will today outline her next steps. she will make a statement to mps setting out how she intends to proceed, in the hope of persuading enough of them
7:13 am
to back her. in a moment, we will speak to conservative mp sarah wollaston, but first let's get an update from our political correspondent chris mason in westminster. so so many discussions went on over the weekend. is there a change of tack, as far as you can see, from the prime minister? i think now we are seeing a focus from the prime minister on talking again to conservative mps and dup mps, in other words those notionally on her side, rather than expending vast amounts of extra energy trying to persuade the unpersuaded all. we have seen from jeremy corbyn in the last few days trying to tempt him to pick up the phone or go into downing street for a chinwag, that invite has not been rsvp. frankly, it is not going to be. to that extent the prime minister has given up on that. instead, focusing on her own side, asi instead, focusing on her own side, as i say. and we have talked about
7:14 am
this whole thing so many times, the so—called backstop, the insurance policy and trying to ensure the border between northern ireland and the republic stays open under any circumstances, trying to offer some reassurance on that to try and persuade conservative and dup mps to vote for a repackaged deal. the problem is from the prime minister's respective there is zero evidence at all that the european union is willing to budge even a millimetre. yes, well, also talk to us about attem pts yes, well, also talk to us about atte m pts by yes, well, also talk to us about attempts by mps the sort of rule out an ideal brexit, because this has been going on the hasn't it? all sorts of attempt by all sorts of mps to mould brexit in that direction they want. prime minister is in the commons this afternoon, a roundabout half past three this afternoon, lashing out her plan, such as it is, in terms of where things go. i don't think we will get a radical shift her vision. some amendments and some
7:15 am
attem pts her vision. some amendments and some atte m pts by her vision. some amendments and some attempts by mps to try and shift brexit as they would like to see it go. there will be those who will try to prevent no deal brexit, leaving the european union without a deal. those who would like another referendum. some who would like to see a softer version of brexit. leaving the european union, and what we are counting down to, is the next sort of big moment in terms of a vote which is taking place on the 29th of january. that is a week tomorrow. a lot of water under a lot of westminster bridges between now and then. chris, iwill let of westminster bridges between now and then. chris, i will let you get in from the cold. the conservative mp sarah wollaston joins us and the reaction to what you are
7:16 am
hearing, theresa may focusing on winning the dup and brexit supporters inside her own party. i'm disappointed. having lost the vote by 230, | disappointed. having lost the vote by 230, i don't think this is a question of talking around a few members of the erg and dup, it's deeper. what sort of things might expect to see in this next statement? i expect we will hear more of the same. we simply don't have time to be continuing down as fruitless path, trying to achieve the unachievable. brexit was always going to involve a lot of compromises. that's the problem she faces, and i think only the way forward , faces, and i think only the way forward, if she wants to get this
7:17 am
through, will be to agree to take it to the people, once it's absolutely clear that there is complete deadlock in parliament. no agreement to anything. chris mason was talking about the amendments. a lot of people say it's an attempt to thwart brexit. it's absolutely not true. the whole role of parliament is to try and amend and change the government's mind. that's what's happening here. giving that advice professionally and impartially. asking for assistance in drafting amendments. it is complete nonsense, what parliament should be doing. once the prime minister has published a motion, a number of people will be bringing forward amendments. a lot of those will be
7:18 am
designed to try to extend article 50 and others will have a particular purpose to them, saying its best to ta ke purpose to them, saying its best to take your deal to the people directly with an option to remain and even possibly an option to carry on with brexit with no deal but all of this will be published over the course of this week and we will know by the 29th which one is likely to gather the most support from mps.|j need long been a campaigner. and spoken about your idea of a people's vote, another referendum. there is certainly not enough backing to get that through either. why are you supporting that when it seems, in the same way you are saying the prime minister can't get her deal through, but that would get support. over the course of this week when it becomes there is really no support anything, the only options will be to run down the clock to know deal and many across parliament would
7:19 am
then unite in seeing we can't allow that to happen. there's something not ready to live on the 29th, and the consequences, the real—world consequences for individuals, families and communities would be too great to live very much hope at some point, even though the prime minister is not willing to do that now, making clear that is not an option. eitherfaced with now, making clear that is not an option. either faced with falling offa option. either faced with falling off a cliff in a very short space of time, completely unprepared, we have to look and say, what are the alternatives and it came to the crunch, she would have to extend article 50 but that can only be done through a democratic process and i reject this notion that its undemocratic to put that final deal to the people, given its so controversial. this is brexit, warts and all, with all its compromises. would you like to have that will
7:20 am
stay with the deal would already have. that's a reasonable way forward. once again, as happens, politicians are publish outing of the television. one other thing i would like to say, liam fox said taking no deal of the table would be the most stupid thing possible, keeping things available and are negotiating. he says this is the uk's strongest negotiating card. everybody knows that britain is not ready to do that. to take it out, liam fox said this would be the easiest deal in human history. all these medical trade deals that we already have, ready to go on the stroke of midnight. really that isn't the case. we are not prepared for the customs checks at our borders. are simply not prepared on a whole host of measures. the
7:21 am
government itself says it would rise if we were to crash out with no deal. everyone knows that would be a disastrous option. no responsible government would be inflicting pain on its people. we appreciate your time. china has reported it's slowest economic growth in decades. sean has more on that and the other main business stories. big impact on the uk, news like that. new figures show china's economy grew last year at its slowest rate for nearly 30 years, contrbuting to worries about the state of the world's economy. it still grew at what lots would think was a bumper 6.6%. butjust this month jaguar land rover said the slowdown in china was one reason why it was shedding 4,500 jobs. more customers are leaving the big six energy

giants in protest. a survey of satisfaction according to a survey by which? sports direct boss mike ashley is said to be in talks for a possible takeover of hmv. mr ashley has handed an offer to administrators kpmg for the high street music chain which has more than 100 stores. hmv went into administration in december with 2,200 jobs put at risk. mike ashley owns 60% of sports direct and he also has big stakes in debenhams and french connection. you wa nt to debenhams and french connection. you want to keep a bigeye and mike ashley and sports direct. they are seemingly one of the few people on the high street with a strong hand. it's interesting how the get chopped. the car crash involving the duke of edinburgh continued
7:23 am
to make headlines over the weekend, with norfolk police confirming they spoke to prince philip after he was pictured driving without a seat belt, 48 hours after that crash near sandringham. one of the women injured in the collision has spoken of her disappointment at the way the incident has been handled by the royal family. robertjobson is the royal editor of the evening standard and joins us from central london now. good morning to you. thanks premat joining us. i suppose there is no royal protocol for dealing with this incident. what's happened? a difficult situation for the royal family. it's great that everybody escaped, relatively unscathed. it's been investigated by the police. if the duke of edinburgh had sent an apology to this baby, of course, it's accepting guilt. i think they've sent their messages of
7:24 am
well—wishers and that's as far as you can go. we don't know what the speed the other car is travelling at, the full investigation, it does look like the duke was blinded by the light and drove out of that road. we don't have the speed of the oncoming cars. i can understand her disquiet. she may or may not have been paid in that opinion. personally i think it's pretty badly handled. the duke shouldn't have gone out on the main road with a seatbelt. he knows it's illegal and he was probably caught. my pipe ——my view is you shouldn't have done that. and if weather, the woman who
7:25 am
was injured, we don't know. one of the queen's ladies in waiting has that an answering machine message. that's why it would have happened. as far as you think? it's very difficult for the duke to say, if i had said sorry, you would write that down, and there would be culpability so you have to be sensible about these things. i'm sure the duke of edinburgh is in a state about this, iam sure edinburgh is in a state about this, i am sure he is thrilled that everybody came out relatively unscathed. relatively speaking, considering what we saw, its incredible that wasn't a worse injury. the other thing that slightly concerns me, the duke is going around without his protection officer. doesn't appear to be in the car in the photographs were taken of
7:26 am
him without a seatbelt. that's sending out a message to the wider world. he is a terror threat, that he goes out with an armed —— without an armed bodyguard, which is quite stupid. he doesn't want it, don't have it. robert, from your point of view, you've been following the royals, the way it's been handled, how have they done it? is it a disaster for the palace? you can't really blame the public relations team. it has to come down to the principles themselves. they haven't particularly handle it that well. initially it seemed like there was a minor bump untilwe initially it seemed like there was a minor bump until we saw the actual photographs turned on its side. things like the branded land rover wasn't a particularly clever move. the ultimate point of this is, the duke has been ripped reminded over
7:27 am
the seatbelt situation. he was breath tested at the scene. and he has undergone an eye test. his past on although successfully. but we are not one of the holier than thou brigade. i've had a seatbelt i'd forgotten to put on for a second but i'm not being pursued by the paparazzi every corner. robertjobson from the evening standard, thank you very much. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this mornin — if you take a moment this busy monday morning to look up, you might just spot a rather magical moon. this is minnis bay, not too far from margate, and we can see a total lunar eclipse happening right now. it's where the earth passes between the moon and the sun — and turns the moon a nice shade of red. scientists believe it's the last time we'll experience something like this in britain until 2029. if you've not yet managed
7:28 am
to catch a glimpse yourself, you have until around 7.50am to do so. we're talking more about it in ten minutes. while we go to the news, travel, and weather, i'm going to doublecheck that we still can't see it. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. an 18—year—old man will appear in court today charged with the murder of 14 year old jayden moodie. the teenager was knocked off his moped and stabbed to death in waltham forest earlier this month. ayoub majdouline, who is from the wembley area, is due to appear at thames' magistrates later today. an nhs service in camden is said to have saved £2.4 million by treating elderly and vulnerable patients in their own homes. it's estimated more than 700 hospital admissions have been avoided since last april by referring patients to a rapid response team. we estimate that our hospital admission, just for one—day, costs about £3,000 —
7:29 am
that's going through the emergency department then being admitted to a ward. on average, a length of stay with that response costs about £800, so the savings are enormous. that's just for a 1—day stay. this week we're hearing from the capital's young religious leaders to find out how they're shaping theirfaiths for younger generations. 28—year—old sarah mcdonald says it often surprises people that she's a vicar. i think that people have a view in their head of what a vicar looks like, and the type of person that is a vicar, and i don't think i always fit that, which is kind of good. like, that's one of the reasons i wanted to go in the church, was to say, like, being christian doesn't always look the way we think it does. female firefighters have been posting pictures and videos of themseslves on social media after a four year—old girl said she thought only men could sign up. hannah summers revealed her daughter esme said she wished she was a boy
7:30 am
so she could join the brigade. it led to reponses from around the uk. starting with the tubes — and there are minor delays on the piccadilly line. on the trains — there's no southern service between tulse hill and beckenham junction because of a points failure. turning to the roads. in waterloo there's a contraflow on york road near the station because of construction works. so there will be more congestion around there. elsehwhere — fulham high street is partially blocked because of an accident. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a cold start this morning, temperatures down below 0 so a widespread frost. it's going to stay cold, really, for much of this week. for this morning, we've got a little bit of sunshine. that sunshine, you're more likely to hang onto it further south and east. could be quite a nice day. the cloud elsewhere will gradually start to increase moving in from the west and becoming thicker through the afternoon. temperatures today, they are going to feel quite cold, around 5 or 6 celsius. now, overnight tonight, that cloud will continue to increase. we'll get some outbreaks of rain and then some heavy rain will push through. now, be warned — some of that could turn a little bit wintry, mainly over higher ground.
7:31 am
but with all this rain to lower levels, the temperatures staying above zero, between between 1 and 3 celsius. so it's going to be a very wet start for some of us first thing tomorrow but that rain will clear away eastwards. behind it, we'll see plenty of sunshine, especially through the afternoon. it is going to stay rather cold, through, really through this week, and as we head into next week it's set to getjust a little bit colder. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: theresa may will make a statement in the commons this afternoon outlining her latest plans for brexit, after her withdrawal agreement was voted down by mps. mrs may held a conference call
7:32 am
with her cabinet on sunday, and it is understood she wants to find a solution to the controversial irish backstop, a safety net designed to avoid the return of checkpoints on the border in ireland, in the hope of winning support from the dup to help get a revised withdrawal agreement through parliament. some mps are expected to table a series of amendments this week. one group, including senior labour mp yvette cooper, wants to suspend the article 50 withdrawal process if there is no new deal with brussels by the end of february. if it hasn't been sorted by the end of february, if the government hasn't got a deal through, then parliament has to have a vote on whether or not to extend article 50, to just make sure that, given the clock is running down, there is a way to prevent us just crashing out with no deal, with the huge damage that that would mean. the government will today publish what it calls a landmark domestic abuse bill which it says will strengthen penalties for perpetrators and better protect victims. it means, for the first time, abusers will be banned from cross—examining their victims
7:33 am
in the family court. the long—awaited legislation has been largely welcomed by campaign groups. a man who was carrying a machete on board a train in essex has been arrested. police found the 15—inch blade after a stop—and—search on a greater anglia service between colchester and witham on sunday night. a man from london has been arrested on suspicion of two offences, and remains in police custody. police are continuing to question four men in connection with a car bomb attack in londonderry on saturday night. no—one was hurt in the explosion. officers say they believe a dissident republican group, the new ira, who want to see a unified ireland, was responsible for the blast. the president of zimbabwe is cutting short a foreign tour amid rising anger over the violent response to anti—government protests. emmerson mnangagwa had been due to go to the world economic forum in the swiss resort of davos, but says his first priority is to make zimbabwe calm and stable. local rights groups said at least 12

people had been killed and many more beaten by security forces. the protests were sparked on monday by a sharp rise in the price of fuel. and take a look at these stunning pictures of a frozen waterfall in china. this huge icicle waterfall is from mount tai, in shandong province. with temperatures below zero, the waterfall has frozen over the 80—metre—high cliffs, creating this spectacular crystal wonderland. a beautiful blue hue for blue monday, creating that gorgeous crystal wonderland. i forgot it was blue monday. i wore blue to make us not miserable. a rare match, usually
7:35 am
we are clashing hideously.” not miserable. a rare match, usually we are clashing hideously. i am bringing the hideous clash today. we can't be blue today because of that blue moon. i have been looking at the astrology surrounding a new moon, and it is a time of romance. we shouldn't confuse astrology and astronomy. i called it astrology earlier and got the evil deaths there. we told him off nicely. we have some amazing pictures to show you at the end of this letter and, so stay tuned. judd trump thrashed ronnie o'sullivan in the final of the masters at alexandra palace. it was a surprisingly one—sided match, trump winning by 10—4 to take his first triple crown event since 2011. the trophy comes with a cheque for £200,000. it's incredible. i think — i've obviously waited
7:36 am
a long time for this. it's been sort of seven or eight years since i won my last big one in the uk, and obviously at times you're thinking whether you're going to win a big tournament again. so to come here, and this is close to home now, only 20 minutes away, it's like my local tournament, is a dream come true. roger federer says he plans to play the clay court season after being knocked out of the australian open. he lost in four sets to stefanos tsitsipas, who is the first greek player to reach a grand slam quarter—final. he said he was the happiest man on earth, after beating his idol, and his victory set off huge celebrations in the crowd outside the arena. there is a large greek community in melbourne, and they have waited a long time for this. i felt ifeltjoy, i i felt joy, i felt happiness, ifeltjoy, ifelt happiness, i felt... i felt this ifeltjoy, ifelt happiness, i felt... ifelt this huge relief going out of my shoulders, and that
7:37 am
moment is definitely something that i will never, ever, everforget. this match point is going to stay... i'm pretty much sure, forever, for the rest of my life. manchester city are back to four points behind premier league leaders liverpool after winning 3—0 at bottom side huddersfield. leroy sane scored their third goal, taking city's total to 102 for the season. but just look at this. a lifelong huddersfield fan in the crowd was mistaken by a reporter forjan siewert, who is tipped to be their new manager. his reply was, "no, i'm martin from wakefield". he did say he knew what he would do if he were huddersfield manager. he would play a 5—5—5 system. he could have played along, couldn't he? he has to sign a few extra
7:38 am
players, i think. england midfielder dele alli is the latest name on tottenham's injury list. he suffered a hamstring injury in their win at fulham, giving manager mauricio pochettino another headache. harry winks scored the winner in the last minute of stoppage—time, to keep them five points behind city. it was — you know, it was a frustrating night, to be fair. there was a lot of moments where we had close calls, or they defended really well. and, you know, it seemed like it was going to be a difficult night, but the belief we have in the team — we score late goals when we keep believing, and today was no different. the semi—professional side auchinleck talbot produced the shock of the weekend in the scottish cup, knocking out ayr united, and their reward is an away tie at hearts in the fifth round. they beat livingston 1—0, sean clare with the goal. holders celtic will be at home to stjohnstone. the full draw is on the bbc sport website. the winning margin they needed to take netball‘s quad series.
7:39 am
tracy neville's side had to win by five goals at london's copper box, but it finished 52—49. australia won the series, but the match was a great recovery by england, who lost to south africa the day before. it's really hard to get a win. people — you know, we've not had a win for a long time — really appreciate how hard it is. and to stop winning is really, really hard. so to go out here and win today shows that we're a team that can turn it around in 24 hours, and that for me is what we need to do at the world cup. we need to have that in our bank. lei nster have leinster have secured a home quarterfinal in rugby's champions cup. they will take i ulster next. 2.45. this ail“ 15:5ij inuéis’w if bath were beaten 20—17 by elsewhere, bath were beaten 20—17 by toulouse. new england patriots have made it for the third time in a row, after beating kansas

city chiefs in overtime. the los angeles rams trailed new orleans saints throughout, but they levelled just before the end, when this 57—yard field goal gave them the win. the super bowl is in atlanta on 3 february. i promised you some monday morning motivation, some brilliant pictures. watch as 21—year—old michael sweeney, aboard ask heather, goes over the last at the point—to—point in boulta, near cork, this weekend. they make a terrible mistake, and then this happens. hang on, hang on... it is like a burst of superspeed. is that adrenaline? some have tweeted me to say it is velcro panned, that is the only way —— velcro, —— velcro pants,
7:41 am
thatis only way —— velcro, —— velcro pants, that is the only way i can explain it. never give up. many skywatchers have been up all night to catch a glimpse of what some are calling a super blood wolf moon. you were frustrated, you are desperate to see a glimpse. it is a total lunar eclipse, where the earth passes precisely between the sun and the moon, turning the moon red. we are joined in the studio by the astronomer professor tim o'brien. and it is super because it is really close, but i am not the expert. and people have just a few minutes left, haven't they, to try and see this if they have clear skies. yes, it is nearly entirely out, in fact, something like 7:45 a.m., so a few minutes away. and in the same way that if you were a football pundit
7:42 am
you might explain the offside rule using salt and have brought two bowls from our bbc cupboard to explain what is happening. bowls from our bbc cupboard to explain what is happeningm bowls from our bbc cupboard to explain what is happening. it is actually from my kitchen. you have brought the men from home! the only reason i brought this in is because of that term, super blood wolf moon. super means have become common in recent yea rs, super means have become common in recent years, really. a blood moon is red, red because of the light. that is more obvious. a wolf moon comes from an almanac which listed these native american, mostly, names for the different full moons of the year, you have probably heard of harvest moon, hunter's moon, and this is the wolf moon, apparently. the names are available. what is super is because the moon actually when it orbits the earth is not a circle. so sometimes it is closer thanit circle. so sometimes it is closer than it is other times, it is an ellipse. and it is a great name, it
7:43 am
is popular, but it is a bit exaggerated, really. the reason for the bowls as because this just shows you the relative size of the moon went it is at its closest, which is... so if you think about looking at the blue bowl in the background, thatis at the blue bowl in the background, that is how big the moon would look at its closest, which it more or less is now, compared with that its farthest, which is the white bowl. so it is a bit bigger, but to be honest it is only marginally bigger. so right now the moon is setting. if you have clear sky, the moon is in the west. lower down, it will look very big. but it is not really this supermoon effect, it is an optical illusion caused whenever the moon is near the horizon. any full moon lowdown will look big. this is the moon from los angeles, it has been more red or orange throughout the night. again, it is quite confusing, in the middle of the night, during
7:44 am
the eclipse, it looks very dark and very red. that is the light that has gone through the earth's atmosphere, and all that is left is the red light which hits the earth and bounces back. but if it is clear where you are and you look at the moon now, it may look quite red now, but that is a different effect. it is not an eclipse now, it is actually just red light like is not an eclipse now, it is actuallyjust red light like the sunset. that is a very disappointing shot from our moon camera. i think it has finally gone. i can see a fence post... so we are going back to los angeles. i think that will be during be eclipse, a picture from earlier. so you will get a red, orange moon lowdown because the white light coming back off the moon is coming back our atmosphere, and it looks red a sunset does. so many people have managed to see it today,
7:45 am
and if you haven't, like some of us who live in the north—west, for example, not that i saw anything, we have to wait a long time before we get this particular phenomena and again. yes, so this was the whole eclipse, from when it was in shadow two when it went out a shadow, it was in the sky. that will not happen again until 2029. was in the sky. that will not happen again until2029. tell us was in the sky. that will not happen again until 2029. tell us about, because it is blue monday, meant to because it is blue monday, meant to be the most depressing day of the year. once in a blue moon, what is that to do with? again, it is a sort of... it isa that to do with? again, it is a sort of... it is a saying, it is not a scientific thing, but basically the moon orbit the earth, you get a full moon orbit the earth, you get a full moon roughly every 29 days or so, so it is not quite the typical length of the month. so it is two... sometimes you get two full moons of the month, and that is a blue moon. and in 2029...
7:46 am
the month, and that is a blue moon. and in 2029. .. you willjust catch it, the moon is on its way down in the eclipse, and it disappears over the eclipse, and it disappears over the horizon and is a much shorter opportunity. are normally you are looking beyond the moon. absolutely, iam looking beyond the moon. absolutely, i am obsessed with the star that has exploded in the andromeda galaxy lately. who needs the moon? how far away is that? 2.5 million light yea rs. away is that? 2.5 million light years. the light from the moon took 1.25 seconds to reach us from the moon. the light from the star we are looking at text 2.5 million years. all of a sudden they feel rather insignificant. —— i feel all of a sudden they feel rather insignificant. —— ifeel rather insignificant. —— ifeel rather insignificant. thank you very much indeed, it is lovely to see you, as ever. and thank you for all the pictures you have been sending another super blood wolf moon. you have been spotting it in various parts of the uk this morning. carol was telling us it was good in the south—west and the north—east. good morning to everybody. the
7:47 am
south—east, east anglia, quite good. parts of northern england as well. that's where it had clear skies. it's a cold start to the day. quite a bit of cloud across the central swathes. it will fit in and break. more of us will see some easy sunshine. we've also had some rain in drizzle. he is a bit more rain with hill snow coming in across the far north of scotland. that's courtesy of a weather front which will be coming our way, bringing heavy rain, squally winds and also some hill snow around that weather front as well. the first thing this morning, we've got all this cloud, particularly where we have a weather front draped across southern areas through some central parts. it will thin and break the two of them will
7:48 am
got some rain coming in. don't forget those squally winds. the west of england and wales, barely cloudy this afternoon. some hazy sunshine. just the odd spot of drizzle. temperatures, nothing to write home about. possibly even ten. as we head through the evening and overnight, the temperatures will drop really quickly. look at all this rain coming in so readily, it will fall as snow, particularly on the hills. this band being a mix of rain, sleet and snow. you can see a lot of showers. particularly. we can also see some of that get down to lower levels. temperatures wise, is going to bea levels. temperatures wise, is going to be a cold night. tomorrow morning, we have rain, sleet and snow. a lot of bright skies but the
7:49 am
showers coming in on the north—westerly wind. we could see some wet snow and indeed some speed. a frosty start of the day on wednesday morning but if anything, we will see a bit more sunshine around and it will be drier. the uk. we can still see a few showers on the charts in some of those are still wintry. again, most of this will be with a heavy showers. cold enough of lower levels to see some sleep. for thursday, still a lot of dry weather around. variable amounts of cloud. wintry showers across the coast of kent. at times, it could come a bit more inland. temperatures wise, nothing particularly special,
7:50 am
around about three, five, six for most of the uk. we shall prepare for the cold. thank for being with us on bbc breakfast. that worked me up. time to some business news now. credit card surcharges, some think you need to keep an eye on. you might remember almost exactly a year ago we were here telling you that no business — big or small — was allowed to charge you more for an item or service if you wanted to pay by card. 12 months on and a bbc investigation's found some companies are still flouting the rules, knowingly or not. first here's our reporter from inside out trying to pay for a takeaway with his card. thank you. basically what they are saying is,
7:51 am
we don't want to accept credit cards that we have to, we will charge you. they can't do that. they had to absorb cost or not accept credit cards. the company's director told me he was not aware he was breaking the law and is a small family business it's hard to absorb the ca rd business it's hard to absorb the card compa ny‘s fees, business it's hard to absorb the card company's fees, but he has removed the surcharge. it seems the rules are the rules. guy anker, the deputy editor of moneysavingexpert.com, joins me now. do you feel sorry for small businesses which are incurring charges like that? it's the law and it's been over a year. i would expect them to comply. they may be don't have the big compliance departments but there is a lot of publicity at the time about it and
7:52 am
it is the law. you cannot charge anywhere across the eu any more to paid by that way. if you see that experience our reporter had, and it feels a bit familiar, what are the rules ? feels a bit familiar, what are the rules? if actu, we don't have the will to accept the card under 12 quid? are they allowed to do that? they are allowed not to accept card. hmrc isa they are allowed not to accept card. hmrc is a good example. if you want to pay your tax bill, you can't do it by credit card any more. hmrc have said because of the complications around the system, we're not going to accept it at all. i expect it's because of cost. they used to pass the charge on to the taxpayer. this is personal, credit cards, they are not taking it any more. but you are faced with this situation you are in a store and threatened with the charge or you wa nt to threatened with the charge or you want to complain, firstly, go to the store itself, the easiest way to get
7:53 am
it sorted and if you have a sharp —— a smartphone, show them the rules. but however trading standards are the ones enforcing the rules. we have seen them saying that budgets at the moment may not be the top priority. it feels like a step backwards places like hrmc, chinese ta keaway backwards places like hrmc, chinese takeaway is run the country are struggling with it. it doesn't seem to be doing thejob struggling with it. it doesn't seem to be doing the job they want. consumers can pay that little bit extra. what shops should be doing is factoring it in the cost. gas, electricity, everything. every minute credit cards widely, you mentioned credit cards injanuary, one of those words you don't want to consider as you look to the year ahead. people looking at their debt now, are there certain things they should be doing to improve 2019 them
7:54 am
financially? there are probably a lot of people making it their new year's resolution to sort out their finances. if you've got depth unmanageable, my top tip would be go toa unmanageable, my top tip would be go to a debt charity, stay away from loa n to a debt charity, stay away from loan sharks who try to profit from your misery. if its debt that is manageable, despite the overdid it and it's on credit or debit card, have a look at getting a 0% balance transfer. you move your debts but you are paying 0% interest. but the ca rd you are paying 0% interest. but the card and also you don't spend a bit. he needed decent credit rating to be able to do that. a few tips there but you shouldn't be charged extra if you are using a credit or debit card. i shall remember that, thank you. handy advice. lots of things coming up including
7:55 am
josh o'connor, who is in ‘les miserables'. we haven't got any pictures of that. and depending on how you are feeling, we also have professor happy, you can tell you his thoughts on where and how to find happiness. there are questions he answers in his book, such as, does money make you happy? that is a big one. time now, though, for the news, travel, and weather wherever you are. we will have the news headlines at eight o'clock. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. an 18—year—old man will appear in court today charged with the murder of 14—year—old jaden moodie. the teenager was knocked off his moped and stabbed to death in waltham forest earlier this month. ayoub majdouline, who is from the wembley area, is due to appear at thames' magistrates later today. an nhs service in camden is said to have saved £2.4 million by treating elderly and vulnerable patients in their own homes. it's thought more than 700 hospital

7:57 am
she thought only men could sign up. hannah summers revealed her daughter esme said she wished she was a boy so she could join the brigade. it led to reponses from around the uk. let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting with the tubes — and there are minor delays on the piccadilly line. on the trains — there's no southern service between tulse hill and beckenham junction because of a points failure. if we look at the roads, in waterloo there's a contraflow on york road near the station because of construction works. so there will be more congestion around there. finally, fulham high street is partially blocked because of an accident so expect delays. good morning. it's a cold start this morning, temperatures down below 0 so a widespread frost. it's going to stay cold, really, for much of this week. for this morning, we've got a little bit of sunshine. that sunshine, you're more likely to hang onto it further south and east. could be quite a nice day. the cloud elsewhere will gradually start to increase moving

in from the west and becoming thicker through the afternoon. temperatures today, they are going to feel quite cold, around 5 or 6 celsius. now, overnight tonight, that cloud will continue to increase. we'll get some outbreaks of rain and then some heavy rain will push through. now, be warned — some of that could turn a little bit wintry, mainly over higher ground. but with all this rain to lower levels, the temperatures staying above zero, between between 1 and 3 celsius. now, overnight tonight, that cloud will continue to increase. we'll get some outbreaks of rain and then some heavy rain will push through. now, be warned — some of that could turn a little bit wintry, mainly over higher ground. but with all this rain to lower levels, the temperatures staying above zero, between between 1 and 3 celsius. so it's going to be a very wet start for some of us first thing tomorrow but that rain will clear away eastwards. it is going to stay rather cold, through, really through this week, and as we head into next week it's set to getjust a little bit colder. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. bye for now. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it is 8am and these are our
7:59 am
headlines this morning. our headlines today. what next for brexit? the prime minister will set out her latest plans to parliament but will it be enough to break the deadlock? theresa may returns here this afternoon to address mps and plan b appears to be revolving around trying to cajole conservative and dup mps backing her, eventually. we have been casting our eyes skywards to spot the super blood wolf moon. china's economy is growing at its slowest rate for nearly 30 years, concern for exporters like jaguar land rover who have seen sales fall there. judd trumps ronnie o'sullivan at the masters snooker. but nothing trumps this on a monday morning — jockey michael sweeney making an incredible recovery to hang on and win the race also a dramatic episode of les mis last night, we will have one of the stars on the sofa shortly. good morning, a cold and frosty
8:00 am
start to the day, some of us seeing some cloud but the cloud will thin and we will see hazy sunshine develop, however a weather front coming from the west will introduce rain, squally winds and heel snow. i will have more in 15 minutes. —— hill snow. good morning. just gone 8am, monday the 21st of january. our top story. theresa may will today outline her next steps as she tries to find a way to break the brexit deadlock. she'll make a statement to mps following talks yesterday with her cabinet. it's thought the prime minister will try to find a solution to the controversial irish backstop — an insurance policy designed to avoid the return of check points on the border in ireland. let's speak to our political correspondent chris mason, who's in westminster for us this morning. good morning, chris. itappears good morning, chris. it appears the prime minister will not be reaching across the commons for this one. quite. it looks like the idea of trying to persuade those on the
8:01 am
other side of the house, labour and other side of the house, labour and other opposition parties, to back some sort of deal, has run into the sand. why? the hints have been clear for the last couple of days, haven't they? any attempt to cajole jeremy corbyn in the direction of downing street, or to pick up a telephone, have not exactly been well received, and there are those conservatives who have been saying to the prime minister anyway, you wouldn't really be able to rely on them and the danger is it would shred the conservative party to an even greater extent than it has already been shredded. instead the focus is on persuading her own side, or at least notionally her own side, based on how many voted against her last week, and the dup, into backing the deal eventually. as you said, the idea is to try and find reassuring words about the whole issue of the backstop, the insurance policy for keeping the irish border open. the thing is, from the government's perspective, they've been trying to do this for ages and ages and the a nswer do this for ages and ages and the answer from brussels has do this for ages and ages and the answerfrom brussels has been a big fat no and at the weekend ireland
8:02 am
was saying the same, it would stick with the withdrawal agreement as it is currently written. something else i wanted to ask you about this money, there is an attempt by some mps to rule out a no deal brexit. what is happening with those amendments? at around 3:30pm we will have a statement and that will give mps an opportunity to table what are known as amendments. in other words, to set out their own vision of how brexit should or should not happen depending on their instinct. there are some who would like to see another referendum. there are some who would like to see a closer relationship with the european union after brexit than the one that government is currently proposing. there are others that want to ensure that under any circumstances there isn't a no—deal brexit, in other words, leaving the european union at the end of march with no overarching withdrawal agreement. we are going to see lots ofjockeying amongst mps setting out their arguments, trying to seize this moment given the
8:03 am
government is quite clearly pretty weak. the big challenge, though, for all of them, is, can any of them assemble a majority to endorse anything? as things stand, that really doesn't look easy and so we are going to be back where we are right now, which is deadlock. thank you, chris. i'm very much enjoying your chunky gloves, scarf and jumper. i've been told you have an impressive hat will stop can we see that? here we go. it oozes practicality. and as i'm sure you will agree, style as well.” practicality. and as i'm sure you will agree, style as well. i was going to say, you are a style icon! shades of harry potter! thank you, chris! excellent! and the placard holder just got thank you, chris! excellent! and the placard holderjust got there right at the end. a little too late. in other news. the government will today publish what it calls a landmark domestic abuse bill which it says will strengthen penalties for perpetrators and better protect victims. it means for the first time abusers will be banned from cross—examining their victims
8:04 am
in the family court. the long—awaited legislation has been largely welcomed by campaign groups. israel's military says it has started hitting iranian targets in syria. it said its operations is against the elite units of the iranian revolutionary guards. it provided no details, but overnight there were reports of strikes around the syrian capital damascus. syrian media said air defences had repelled an israeli aerial attack. police are continuing to question four men in connection with a car bomb attack in londonderry on saturday night. no—one was hurt in the explosion. officers say they believe a dissident republican group, the new ira, who want to see a unified ireland, was responsible for the blast. a man who was carrying a machete on board a train in essex has been arrested. police found the 15—inch blade after a stop—and—search on a greater anglia service between colchester and witham on sunday night.
8:05 am
a man from london has been arrested on suspicion of two offences and remains in police custody. six suspected migrants are believed to have been picked up overnight by immigration officials on a boat. hm coastguard confirmed it had assisted with the operation off the kent coast but the home office have yet to confirm details. border force agents also launched a search for another boat — but nothing has been found so far. donald trump has attacked democrats for rejecting his proposals to end the longest government shutdown in us history. the president had offered temporary relief for millions of migrants in return forfunding for his wall along the mexican border. but critics called the plans unacceptable and hostage taking. let's run you through some of the details. the shutdown has now entered its 30th day, beating the record in 1995, when government closed down for 21 days. it's affecting everyday life for millions of americans — but more so for 800,000 government employees going without pay. many have been forced to queue for food banks. we knew that there were a lot of people that were impacted and in need.
8:06 am
we were thinking maybe about 2,000 people at the max would come by when we opened up. we already served, yesterday, well over 4,000. the line still wraps around the block right now, and there's really no sign of it letting up. this shutdown is impacting a lot of people. many of the folks that we're talking with have never done this before, have never had to stand in line for a plate of food. thank you, everybody, who has been sending in their beautiful pictures of the supermoon, which has been appearing in the this morning, a total lu nar appearing in the this morning, a total lunar eclipse. this is how it looked earlier today and it has now ended officially. it happens when the earth passes between the moon and the sun and it turns a nice shade of red or orange, depending on what time you see it. scientists believe it is the last time we will see something quite like this until
8:07 am
2029. it's a super blood moon. earlier we heard from amateur astronomer gill palmer, who'd been up bright and early to see the eclipse. i've been out here since 3:00am this morning. there's a whole band of 15, 20 of us who came down with telescopes. we saw the whole thing. it's spectacular. we've never seen anything like it in our lives. it's almost as good as chris's hat, isn't it? that is a very good hat, very harry potter as well! well, our very own sean had a go at taking a picture of the moon on his way to work this morning. this could be the worst picture. here it is. that is an awful effort. but he did see it. thankfully lots of you have managed to do a little better — let's take a look at a few of them. jonathan demery took this from llandudno in north wales. that is gorgeous, isn't it? paul burke sent us this from the lake district — showing a nice deep red shade. this is how it looked for martin crow in burnham on crouch in essex.
8:08 am
again, that is not quite as red as we saw a few moments ago but it's a nice shade of orange, and tinged at the bottom as well. finally, i don't think this is the moon! steve green's effort from brixham. we suspect he may have cheated. is that chorizo? yes. from a distance you might have said, what a beautiful moon you have! lucky all of you who have seen it. it is now over, it ended 20 minutes ago. ten years to wait until the next one. it is approaching eight to 10am. louise and dan with you on breakfast this morning. —— 8:10am. millions of eu citizens who live and work in the uk, will from today, be asked to apply for a new legal status. if they don't they might ultimately risk deportation. so how will it work? it costs £65 for adults to register online for settled status. it affects those who have lived here continuously
8:09 am
for five years or more. eu citizens who've been here for less than that can apply for pre—settled status, until they're eligible for full settlement rights. the rules do not apply to people from ireland. we've been to meet two families who have made their homes in britain to get their reaction. our daughter helene was born 19 weeks ago. it's been quite a change in our lives, but we're really enjoying it. my name is janna reumerman, and i've lived in the uk for eight years. eu citizens and their families will need to apply to continue to live after 2020 in the uk. so what do i think about it? i'm not necessarily offended by it or upset by it. i think that, one way or another, people will have to register that they are eu nationals, as there is no longer free movement of people. we have to pay for you to stay here. personally, i think the country should be able to determine
8:10 am
who comes in and who doesn't, and for that to happen you need to register. yes, i'm not offended by this, at all. if i'm brutally honest, i hope brexit will not happen, and that we don't have to apply for a settled statement at all, and just continue with our lives as they are. my name is george kontakos. i've been running the olive grove restaurant in cambridge for 10 years, and i've been in this country 16 years. at this moment, we put all our plans on hold. we don't know what the future will be. we're just a little bit stressed to see what's going to happen with our settlement status. my name is francesca kontakos. i was born in the united kingdom, and i've been married to george for ten years. i'm fortunate to be british
8:11 am
and have been born here. george is not so fortunate, however, and doesn't hold a british citizenship, because being a european was just as good as. but now we're a bit worried about what the future holds for us and holds for our family. we need to think of some ideas... what guarantees do we have that a future government mightjust scrap our settled status applications, and make us illegal citizens in this country? it makes me feel scared, and anxious, and worried about my future, notjust in england, but as a person in the world. it's this insecurity that i feel from my country that is worrying me. because i think that the country that i'm living in, if they don't want my husband here, then there's no place for me here. my husband is my family, my husband is my life, and i will follow him anywhere he goes. and if he's not welcomed in my country, then my country's no
8:12 am
longer my country. some very interesting points made. joining us now from our london newsroom is chef and restaurateur raymond blanc who's lived in the uk for 46 years. good morning to you. good morning. tell us about your status, do you have to change things? for myself, no, i lived here for 46 years, my family, my sons have been educated here. i've trained hundreds of british chefs, so effectively, what i will do is i will have a double nationality and keep my national french passport, of course, because i'm a frenchman but also take on british nationality as well, which will make things simple. but for all of my team, all of my staff i am relieved that effectively settled status and pre—settled status has been achieved, so much so that if you have been there as a european employee, if you have lived there
8:13 am
for five years you will be able to stay there. that's very important. for the pre—settled status, people who have only been there for a couple of years or a year, they still can apply and we will help them. in our businesses we employ 1200 people, 600 are european, 0k? so that's how important it is. and also at belmont, for all of its employees of the cat quatre saisons. .. people who employees of the cat quatre saisons... people who work for us who deliver quality and excellence and we can support them so it is a good thing. we hope it is going to work. i will come to whether it will
8:14 am
work. i will come to whether it will work ina work. i will come to whether it will work in a second. we talked about people feeling insecure, scared, is that something reflected on your members of staff? very much so. extraordinarily so, because there are families, they are settled in great britain, and for them that uncertainty as to what kind of brexit we are going to have is something which is extremely worrying, both with the employers but even more so for the employees. these schemes of settled status and pre—settled status will help along the way to take away these worries. the government says it is trying to reassure eu citizens in the uk that they are welcomed and valued. is this what it is doing, this new status? that is a more worrying point because effectively we have less and less eu citizens who come and work in great britain for a number of reasons, the pound is down meaning they cannot send money to theirfamilies, they meaning they cannot send money to their families, they don't know if
8:15 am
they are going to be welcomed, and they are going to be welcomed, and they don't know what kind of brexit we are going to have. so there are huge uncertainties about these brexit issues and whether people will come in or not. at the moment, we have about 18,000 people last year who didn't turn up in great britain. the hospitality industry is a huge industry. we employ 2.9 million people and half a million are european. and often they hold the skills, knowledge, culture of food, people and service and if those people don't turn up we are in trouble because already our industry is under tremendous stress from lack of staff which will reflect on the service, the quality of welcome, etc. it is something we definitely need to see happening. raymond blunt, chef and restaurant her, thank you for your time this evening. it is 8:17am. time to catch
8:16 am
up evening. it is 8:17am. time to catch up with carol. she has found a moon. you haven't seen it today, have you? no, too much cloud where i was. this isa no, too much cloud where i was. this is a fabulous weather watchers picture sent in from carmarthenshire. lovely picture of the moon. for many of us, it is frosty, cold, temperatures down to -6, frosty, cold, temperatures down to —6, cloud across many areas as well, but some of that will thin and break and we will see hazy sunshine today. you can see where we have patchy light rain in southern areas, some of us coming out of the cloud that is slowly sinking south with the weather front, and we also have some more across the north of scotland with some hill snow. this weather front here, a cold front, will bring heavy rain and hail snow with it as we go through today and also tonight. first thing this morning you can see the extent of the cloud. it has broken in parts, south—west england, south—east england, east anglia, parts of northern england, parts of north—east scotland as
8:17 am
well. as we go through the day, some of us will see more cloud and some will see less as it breaks but the weather front will introduce all of this rain and hill snow across scotla nd this rain and hill snow across scotland and northern ireland. for much of england and wales, some hazy sunshine, but here and there the cloud will be thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle. temperature wise, you will not be writing home about these temperatures, looking at roughly 4—7, although in the south—west of england there is a chance we could get up as high as ten. the temperature will drop at sunset quite quickly, and as this band of rain engages with the cold air readily it will fall as rain, sleet and snow, and snow notjust on higher ground. by first thing tomorrow morning, here it is in the south—east, that mixture of rain, sleet and snow, this note mostly on the hills, and behind it a lot of showers. once again, most of the snow will be on the hills but in the heavy showers it could get down to lower levels and we are likely to haveice
8:18 am
lower levels and we are likely to have ice on untreated surfaces. tomorrow, we will say goodbye to the weather front producing rain, tomorrow, we will say goodbye to the weatherfront producing rain, sleet and snow. lots of dry weather around, bright conditions, and our friend the sun will put in an appearance. but still some showers around and some of those will be wintry in nature, so snow on the hills, some sleet at lower levels. frosty start on wednesday but a lot of dry weather, more sunshine on wednesday. but once again it will still season snow showers in the forecast. by no means will we all see them and most of the snow will be on the hills. temperature wise, still quite low, 2—5, or six, be on the hills. temperature wise, still quite low, 2—5, orsix, but some cloud coming in from the west. on thursday, after a cold start once again, more sunshine, a weather front trying to come in from the west could introduce rain and one or two showers in east anglia and the south—east. we will see you in half an hour.
8:19 am
thank you, carol. china has reported it's slowest economic growth in decades. sean has more on that and the other main business stories. good morning. new figures show china's economy grew last year at its slowest rate for nearly 30 years, contrbuting to worries about the state of the world's economy. it still grew at what lots would think was a bumper 6.6% butjust this month jaguar land rover said the slowdown in china was one reason why it was shedding four and a half it was shedding 4,500 in china was one reason why it was shedding 4,500. small energy suppliers have beaten the so—called big six in a customer satisfaction survey by consumer group which?, while the charity citizens advice today show that some areas of the country were more likely to switch than others, with yorkshire and humberside leading the way. well done to everybody there who is bothering to switch. another week in retail. mike ashley and hmv, keep an
8:20 am
eye on that. in talks for a possible ta keover of eye on that. in talks for a possible takeover of hmv. hmv went into administration in december with 2,200 jobs put at risk at its 125 stores. mike ashley owns 60% of sports direct. he recently bought house of fraser and evans cycles, and also has big stakes in debenhams and french connection. if there is anybody to keep an eye on in the coming days about what might happen next on the high street it is probably mike ashley of sports direct. people accused of abusing their partners will be banned from cross—examining them in family courts in england and wales from today. the change is part of what the government is describing as a landmark package to tackle domestic abuse and is broadly welcomed by campaigners. we're joined now by rochelle. thank you forjoining us. good morning. good morning. she's been a victim of domestic abuse and campaigns on the issue. from your own experience, why is this such an important change? this is historic, it is quite an incredible thing this bill is
8:21 am
finally getting into parliament now but it is very much needed. we are in an epidemic of domestic abuse now. it is so rife and affecting so many people that we have to have this change and it has to come now. talk to us a little bit about your own experience. you had to be cross didn't you? how was that? how did it make you feel? over a period of five yea rs we were make you feel? over a period of five years we were in family court, and each of those times there was procedures of cross—examination and to run away from the perpetrator of abuse and then be put back in a room and be expected to answer sometimes the most ridiculous questions, which was just abuse in the most ridiculous questions, which wasjust abuse in itself, is a terrifying feeling. it is also retrauma. would have changed your experience had changes been in effect when you experienced it? how
8:22 am
would i have changed the whole process ? would i have changed the whole process? people going into the family process after this bill becomes law means that there is a little bit more comfort that they are not going to have that level of abuse infamily are not going to have that level of abuse in family court. we need to see how it's going to take effect practically, but i know people going through the process at the moment that are going to be pleased that one day when they end up in family court they are not going to have this cross—examination. court they are not going to have this cross-examination. you've been helping with the consultation process as well, haven't you? what other things that are helpful have come out of it? there are some other measures in the consultation that crosses over into the criminal courts, it is notjust family courts. there are some protection orders in there which are important. there are some things which are missing, and make no mistake, this bill isn't perfect and it it really is the time to say to the government that we can get this exactly right and please don't let us down again, this is needed. but this is a start and we have to take some positivity because as a victim if you've got no
8:23 am
hope, where are we going to go to next? it is great that you are using what was a really horrible experience for you to help involve others in the consultation process. i know that you speak to young people about domestic abuse. when you speak to them, what sort of issues come up time and time again from your feedback from those conversations? i've seen first-hand that we have youngsters in relationships, 15, 16, 17 years old where these abusive behaviours are in place already. that's incredibly alarming for me. i was 25 when i started to go through this process. i thought that was young and difficult enough but the reality is it is affecting younger and younger people. a whole new generation are coming forwards and that for me is not a place we want our society to be in so preventative work for me is really important. let's stop victims being victims in the first place but also the perpetrators, the life they are infor also the perpetrators, the life they are in for is not one we want to be
8:24 am
putting young people through either. if we can stop a perpetrator becoming that in the first place that has got to be an important thing. another thing is knowing when you are very young what is abusive behaviour. do you find that is one of the issues? it is that nobody is telling them, nobody is having these conversations with our young people, the schools are not having them, pa rents a re the schools are not having them, parents are not having them, i guess. i have a son myself who was born through the abusive relationship, and i've got a niece, and it worries me that people are not having these dialogues. perhaps people don't think we need to have them but we do. in terms of what you talked about in terms of some of those abusers, in your experience, is ita those abusers, in your experience, is it a learned behaviour? is it something they have seen from others, or perhaps some sort of cultural place we are in at the moment? i think it is a mixture. we will always have people in society that will inflict these kind of crimes on people. it is historic and we know people do that. i also think there is very much a learned
8:25 am
behaviour and a number of reasons that could be happening. we can also change people's behaviour if we ca ptu re change people's behaviour if we capture it early enough. we see with youngsters that bullying is a problem in schools and i wonder whether some of it comes from that, that we aren't teaching people to have respect for each other. just really quickly, people in a similar situation to the one you have described, what is the first thing to do? have some courage, whatever little bit of courage that is left in you, you can find little bit of courage that is left in you, you canfind itand little bit of courage that is left in you, you can find it and you can live a life that is much better than the one you are living now. that's all i can say really. very good to see you, thank you. plenty to come on the programme, some great guests but now the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching. see you with the headlines in a few minutes' time. hello, good morning. if you were up
8:26 am
early enough and you had clear skies, you may have been lucky enough to see the super lord woolf moon and our weather watchers have sent us lots of photographs. it was glorious this morning, it has been cold and frosty especially in the south—east. further north and west this with a front living in introducing more cloud and outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and the west of scotland. increasingly the west of scotland. increasingly the rain turning to snow mainly over higher ground but some low levels may get sleet and wet snow later this afternoon and into this evening. elsewhere a lot of cloud, the best of sunshine in the south—east of england, feeling cold today, maximum temperatures 4—7d. tonight the band of rain moving south and east, summer hill snow, down to some relatively low levels
