8:04 am
theirjobs properly. i am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government. mr trump tried to present the deal as a success for his administration, but the president had to back down on his demands for $5.5 billion legislation to fund government agencies for the next three weeks, president trump was warning that the fight isn't over. in a tweet, he said... and he said, in 21 days, if no deal was done, it was off to the races, apparently floating the possibility of a further shutdown. the president is also considering the option of declaring a national emergency at the border with mexico. that could give him the money
8:05 am
to build the wall from other funds, and while it would probably face challenges in court, it would also mean that mr trump wasn't relying on congress. thejustice secretary, david gauke, has suggested that he supports the idea of mps being given a free vote on some brexit issues. speaking on bbc radio 4, he said parliament was entitled to be involved in the process and that he'd have to consider his position if the government opted for a no—deal. are we any closer to knowing whether mps can reach an agreement on brexit on tuesday? yes, big (i: week' for theresa may because what we understand on tuesday is there's going to be a understand on tuesday is there's going to beaseries— _ understand on tuesday is there's going to be a series of . 7 ., understand on tuesday is there's going to be a series of notes - understand on tuesday is there's going to be a series of notes on i are known as amendments, what are known as amendment; what are known as amendmentsr changes to theresa may's

8:07 am
are concerned about is that if the government ends up going down the route of a no deal, they would not wa nt to route of a no deal, they would not want to support it and they would potentially have to resign to vote the way they wanted to. that's why people like david cork are talking about a free vote. a lot of —— david cork are talking about a free vote. a lot of challenges for theresa may in terms of keeping her party together. after two weeks of searching, rescuers in southern spain have found the body of a toddler who fell down a deep, narrow well whilst out with his family. miners had been drilling day and night to reach two—year—old julen rosello, who was trapped 100 metres below ground near the city of malaga. millions of illegal fake cigarettes are entering the uk and undermining efforts to reduce smoking, according to a new warning from the local government association. councils say counterfeits are costing the economy more than £2 billion a year in unpaid tax.

8:10 am
pay in the area, before tax. the national average isjust over seven times annual pay. halifax said orkney‘s remote location might not be for everyone, but it benefited from high employment, low crime rates, and smaller class sizes. richmondshire in yorkshire came second in the survey. it scored well on personal wellbeing, low crime rates, and amounts of traffic. another factor in its favour was the large number of pubs compared to its population size. rutland in the east midlands, hambleton in north yorkshire, and eden in cumbria came third, fourth and fifth. london had just two areas in the top 50 — westminster, at number 15, and richmond—upon—thames, in 40th place. it's nice to see the sunshine on those lovely outdoor places. lots of

8:12 am
i did not receive backpay, and i am unable to make up any lost hours of work, i am unable to work overtime. so the salary i have lost is gone forever for this year. i was starting to sell some of my possessions online through social media, just to help pay for groceries and for gasoline and so forth. hard being airport security workers and deemed an essential employee, so throughout the shutdown i have to go to work everyday and it becomes even more difficult as the days go by to get up and put on my uniform and do full day's work and come back home with no pay. scott lucas, professor of american politics at the university of birmingham, joins us now from our birmingham newsroom. good morning. first of all, we heard there from michelle and one of the other workers, sorry, anna, and the practical realities of this are a little bit alien to us. they were
8:13 am
saying, michelle was telling us earlier that they're made of the spores for three weeks but you doesn't know whether she will get a pay cheque in that time. —— there may be a pause for three weeks but she doesn't know whether she will get a paper cheque. exactly, we are not only talking about the 800,000 people who have to work without pay, it is millions who depend on money who work for contractors, people not getting tax rebates, people not getting tax rebates, people not getting food stamps, the coast guard are not able to work, airport security grinding to a halt, i could go on. donald trump at one level caved yesterday and he did cave. he surrendered and said, we will reopen the government. with this three—week time—limit, he tried to maintain his ability to take hostages again by saying, in three weeks, i could shut it all down again. he even implied that he could declare a national emergency. that's why those people are iffy; don't know
8:14 am

8:15 am
the wall commie didn't get a state of the union address on tuesday, he didn't get to declare a victory. he rejected these deals for five weeks it had been proposed by the democrats and yesterday he certainly accepted them. at least for the short—term. accepted them. at least for the short-term. it's curious in many ways because he had this situation, the president who says he represents the president who says he represents the working man or woman, that is one of his main credentials. those very people will be hurt the most. and yet he is the president and he often says, when i stand up for things like the wall, he says this is what it is all about, he has so many people on his side and he maintains this continually. yes, he says that and a hardline adviser like stephen miller keeps pushing him on this because he said mexico will pay for the wall. what we saw in the last few weeks is that mexico is not going to pay for the wall and even trump voters, his so—called
8:16 am
base, faced a choice. it is holding onto this vanity project of trump, the wall, all your security, your job, food of the table, making airports run effectively, making sure the fbi can carry out investigations, which do you choose, his slogan or chaos? he was losing .5% in approval rating each week so the choice is becoming clear. and going to ask you to be brief on the most coveted issue, the —— complicated issue, the robert and investigation on whether the russians investigated —— interfered in the election, we have another arrest, how is that going? the net is closing, paul manafort convicted, other trump advisers convicted, more arrests. in the spring, robert muller will probably published
8:17 am
reports that will be naming trump himself and i think by the end of the year he will be asked to resign. we will follow this with interest, the developments in the united states. on a practical note, federal workers still living with the very real issues of how the bills are paid and the czechs are still not coming in. crowdfunding and all sorts. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is colder but it is normal so i'm not about to complain, apparently? you can complain if you would like! we all have our favourite weather. this is a picture recently, a little ata this is a picture recently, a little at a sunshine here. it is very dull out there for the majority. but it is mild, another dry day across the board, apart from in the west, where it is damp and

they were playing too much. teachers in england are to be given more flexible working options under a new government strategy, according to the guardian. and finally the i leads with "the great bread scandal", it reports the type of packaging used for bakery products accounts for a quarter of all household plastic waste in the uk. nine—in—ten councils refuse to accept the wrapping, says the paper. you are starting with the story in the daily mail. shopping related. people get upset when things change. what's this story? its marks & spencer is, i love the headline, this is notjust any spencer is, i love the headline, this is not just any demo, spencer is, i love the headline, this is notjust any demo, a marks & spencer demo. feeding off their advertising. in felixstowe, marks &

8:24 am
people in felixstowe say that demographic of felixstowe is elderly. it's older. i suppose that does have a bearing on how people live their lives and do their normal thing. i look at my dad, utility companies, all kinds of things, not necessarily the high street, marks & spencer encourage people to buy online. but he's not online, what does he do? he finds it really hard. there is a flip side, the high street, it's a vicious circle in many ways, if the high street is struggling and people go online and don't use the store, its high road, its biggest model which needs to be changed, there are shareholders for marks & spencer and other retailers which they need to answer to. if you have an older proposition which isn't spending about one of the papers to day, one of the big online companies are thinking of opening high street shops. the next story is from the times. this is about how

tending dossier-seems = we a have the we have the ‘ and the sport. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. more than 300 people are feared dead in brazil after a dam collapsed at a mining complex in the south—east of the country. fire crews in the state of minas gerais are trying to rescue people who've been trapped by mudflows, but the state governor has said that there's little chance of finding survivors. the accident comes just over three years since a dam burst in the same state, killing 19 people. the longest government shutdown in us history is over, for now, after president trump signed a bill to fund the government for the next three weeks. the president agreed to end the shutdown without securing the $5.7 billion he wanted for a wall along the mexican border. but on twitter, he insisted he had not given in. he warned that without a deal on the wall, the shutdown could resume. 800,000 workers have not been
8:29 am
paid forfive weeks. the justice secretary, david gauke, has suggested that he supports the idea of mps being given a free vote on some brexit issues. speaking on bbc radio a, he said parliament was entitled has said the uk may seek to delay leaving the eu by a couple rescuers in southern spain have found the body of a toddler who fell down a deep, narrow well two weeks ago. miners had been drilling day and night to reach two—year—old julen rosello, who was trapped 100 metres below ground near the city of malaga. millions of illegal fake cigarettes are entering the uk and undermining efforts to reduce smoking, according to a new warning from the local government association. councils say counterfeits are costing the economy more than £2 billion a year in unpaid tax. they're calling for tougher penalties for people who sell them. the current maximum prison term
8:30 am
for offenders is two years. orkney, in scotland's northern isles, has been rated the uk's best place to live in an annual quality of life survey. the study looks at factors such as the cost of housing, health and crime levels. orkney has been runner—up for the past two years. richmondshire in north yorkshire was named runner—up this year, with rutland in the east midlands in third place. when you see those images, they are stunning places, aren't they? a lot of people think where they are is the best place. it is stunning scenery, the best place. it is stunning scenery, the beaches, the sea, the green fields, but it is the people you are with as well, your
8:31 am
neighbours, your humility are just as important. we have been asking people to send in pictures of where they live if they think it is the best place to live. all that happiness, embracing each other, hugging each other. certainly, ole gunnar solskjaer and his assistant who are both manchester united through and through, they have brought happiness back. lu ka ku was through, they have brought happiness back. lukaku was asked if it was fun to play for ole gunnar solskjaer, he said it absolutely is and they know what they are doing. in marked contrast to the attitude and maybe the mood of players underjose mourinho, for whatever reason. so, another triumph for manchester united's caretaker manager ole gunner solskjaer. his side knocked arsenal, out of the fa cup in the fourth round. natalie pirks was watching at the emirates. the rivalry between these two runs deep.
8:32 am
ole gunnar solskjaer gets that more than most. with seven wins on the spin, united were raring to go, as was alexis sanchez. he soon found a way to silence those who used to adore him. romelu lukaku shaped to shoot, but instead found the chilean. the angle was tight, the shot was perfect. commentator: and he's found the net! with their opponents on the ropes, united went for the sucker punch, lukaku once more in the thick of it. this time, jesse lingard in acres of space to double united's lead. lingard makes it two! ole, ole, indeed. but united would not have it all their own way. arsenal are letting aaron ramsey leave, yet here he was, twisting and turning to find aubameyang. aubameyang has scored. the second half started with a bang — an entirely accidental, but painful one. that was the end of laurent koscielny‘s night. anthony martial was about to end arsenal's. martial is there! it was just like old times, even with a scrap.
8:33 am
amidst a coming together, and a coin being thrown, united just about kept their composure for a convincing win. that is eight wins in eight for the ba by—faced assassin. managers may be temporary, but class is permanent. natalie pirks, bbc news, at the emirates. of course we had worked on defending, counter—attacking. that is classic man united counter—attacking. there's so many examples of us doing that here — wayne rooney, cristiano ronaldo, ji—sung park. but we have scored so many goals here in counter—attacking, and to be honest, we showed that today with a few of the old classic goals, and i think there's another two being put on that video. bristol city came from behind to beat bolton and reach the fa cup fifth round for the first time in 18 years. niclas eliasson decided the tie with a sublime individual goal, the draw for the fifth round is on monday evening, during the one show. plenty of lower league clubs are looking to become giant killers today,
8:34 am
with 11 more ties, while in scotland its fourth against second with aberdeen hosting kilmarnock, while leaders celtic are at home to hamilton. and some news reaching us in the last 10 minutes or so — hibernian have suspended their manager neil lennon. the bbc understands it's unlikely he'll take charge of the club again. it follows an exchange yesterday between lennon and several employees of the club. now, the sister of emiliano sala visited the cardiff city stadium yesterday, to visit the floral tributes, left for the striker. romina sala has appealed to police to keep looking for her brother, and pilot david ibbotson. the pair haven't been heard from since monday, when their plane vanished, as they made their way from nantes to cardiff. the search was called off yesterday with guernsey police, describing their chances of survival, as "extremely remote". it is still far from normality at this point, and i don't expect the players to be laughing and smiling
8:35 am
and hoping and cheering. at this point in time things are looking sombre. so it will take time for the wound to heal, and i think we just have to take its natural course. the cardiff city manager has been given the weekend off to cope with the grief and come to terms with what has happened. things just keep getting worse for england's cricketers in the test match in barbados. having been bowled forjust 77 on thursday, they didn't take a single wicket all day yesterday. west indies captain jason holder scored 200, and shane dowrich also made a century as they set england a huge total of 628 to win. england are 56 without loss, with two days still remaining. in the last few minutes, reigning us open champion naomi osaka has stepped out on court to face the czech republic's petra kvitova in the women's
8:36 am
final of the australian open. well, who better to discuss this with than tennis legend, former australian open semi—finalist and presenter, sue barker? i know you are very busy with the finaljust i know you are very busy with the final just starting. i know you are very busy with the finaljust starting. i am looking forward to it. how surprised i use to see kvitova in a grand slam final after the injury to her hand? well, after the injury to her hand? well, after she was stabbed in her racket hand, nobody thought she would come back at any level, let alone come back at any level, let alone come back to be competing to wind a title and beat world number one. but she had a great year last year, and one ina warm had a great year last year, and one in a warm up tour, so everyone was thinking is there a chance question what it will be a fantastic match. it is so exciting because there are no clear favourites. so often we come into these finals and someone is an overall favourite, but this is so hard to call, so please don't ask. i don't watch lots of tennis, i

tend to just watch the finals, so i don't follow it as closely as mike and charlie, but when i get to see the highlights of this, what should ibe the highlights of this, what should i be looking out for in terms of their style, what are they bringing thatis their style, what are they bringing that is different? power is what they are bringing in this match. both of them are huge hitters. kvitova has got a massive serve, but naomi osaka has stats that we haven't seen in women's tennis for a long time. it is going to be a brutal final. and naomi osaka on the big stage now, of course when she was playing against serena williams there was controversy when she won, but she is getting used to this position now in the limelight, because she is young. only 21, and that was her first grand slam final when serena williams had her meltdown at the us open. the composure that she had was way beyond her years. winning yourfirst grand slam final is so huge. for her
8:38 am
to remain so calm and so focused on what she had was impressive, says she looks like, not only has she got the game, she has got the mental ability to be at the top for a very long time. what was the sue barker mental game? nothing like naomi osaka, ican mental game? nothing like naomi osaka, i can tell you! but what was your thing question you were in semifinals, but what was your mindset, how did you play that game question what it is such an important part of tennis. it is, when i played my first grand slam final, it is difficult not to let the occasion takeover, and both of these have now won grand slams, so that won't happen today, but when you play your first grand slam final, it shows a lot about someone when they can just play it as it is another match, because it means so much. is there a little voice # yes, the voice of doubt! it is the final and you have to just shut that down. rather inconvenient to be the same in iraq as chris evatt and martina
8:39 am
navratilova. they were just too good. and serena williams is not in the final. yes, and a couple of andy murray. wow. tomorrow, novak djokovic and rafael nadal both, it seems, back to their best. and better probably than ever. novak djokovic destroyed his opponent yesterday, a masterclass. but rafael nadal has looked amazing, keeping the points short, and i think it will be a wonderful battle. they had a five set match at wormald on. and the loss they met at the australian, he would go again gone there could be another classic. we have got to talk about the temperatures there. i understand that there are with air conditioning. they have a heat rule. he closed the roof in the lady semifinal. i don't understand how to explain it because they used to have just a temperature gauge, but now it is done on temperature versus wind speed, and if it gets too much for players, spectators, everyone, they
8:40 am
will close the roof during the match. in the big mac tomorrow between those two extraordinary champions —— mac, they have both looked ice cool. they both look so composed. they are. is that the indicator, it is delayed big occasion for them, they are older, but wiser maybe in terms of what signs to give out. who do you think is looking mentally stronger? again, that one is impossible. i was saying rafael nadal all the way through until i saw novak djokovic play yesterday. when you look at how huge it is, it is not the grand slam finalfor it is, it is not the grand slam final for them, it is, it is not the grand slam finalfor them, but if it is, it is not the grand slam final for them, but if rafael nadal wins he goes on to 18 grand slam titles. we have to give him the clay, he has won it every time. roger is on 19. the thought roger federer was untouchable. so rafael nadal is on 17 and would reach 18.
8:41 am
he has been unbeatable at the french open and if he wins that, that would ta ke open and if he wins that, that would take him on to 19. so roger federer and rafael nadal could be very close. we thought pete sampras‘s record of 1a years ago would never be beaten, and here we are, they are overtaking him. if you had to, who would you pick? i have to ask! even andrew castle and john lloyd are split on this. i am going to stick with rafael nadal because ijust feel that it is his time. he is serving well, hitting beforehand better than ever. he is going to attack novak djokovic, but you may as well just spent a attack novak djokovic, but you may as welljust spent a coin. and all about the changing of got the guard and this new crop of talent coming through, but these two are keeping them at bay, aren't they? yes, we we re them at bay, aren't they? yes, we were all talking about them, it looked like they were suddenly
8:42 am
worrying them, but these two are like no way! it is great when in any sport, it rises above. you don't have to be a tennis fan to engage in a remarkable gladiatorial moment. absolutely, incredible stories, both of them. for novak djokovic a year ago, he was facing surgery, his ranking dipped, and he turned it around in the summer and he has basically been unbeatable for the last six months. and that gets rafael nadal going. he had to pull out of the us open with a knee injury, then he had ankle surgery. we are talking about the muscle memory, did you see that story? scientists say if you did a lot of exercise when you were younger, then it is easier when you get older to tap back into that, that it is a lwa ys tap back into that, that it is always pa rt of tap back into that, that it is always part of you. i don't find that in the gym at all. have faith that in the gym at all. have faith that your muscles remember. it will
8:43 am
be easierfor you to that your muscles remember. it will be easier for you to get back into shape when you are older than perhaps somebody who has not exercised when they were younger. feel the burn! we should all remember that you will have the highlights on bbc one, won't you? yes, bbc one today at 1:15pm. enjoy it. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. well, it will be a weekend of two halves. tomorrow turning cold and windy across the uk. today is another miles davis will. not a huge amount of sunshine at the moment. the best will be across eastern counties. —— today is another mild day. showers into the afternoon, the rain pushes across the southern half of scotland and wales, and into western counties. throughout it all, rain persists in
8:44 am
the north of scotland. because it is cold enough here, we will seek further snow on the northern islands. also into the hebrides, up to 50 centimetres of snow. notice these temperatures. 10 degrees in glasgow and edinburgh. dropping off this afternoon with bright spells and showers. still some sunny spells in the east this afternoon, but in the west outbreaks of rain will push through. some sunshine to end the day, but blustery winds developing uk wide tonight. showers will move southwards over the second half of the night which could turn wintry over higher ground. cold into tomorrow. the low—pressure bilby of towards denmark —— will be off. tightly packed isoba rs, towards denmark —— will be off. tightly packed isobars, it will be a windy and cold day. some wintry
8:45 am
showers in the west. in the east, persistent rain close to the north sea coasts, and here we could see guest clay—macro gusts up to 60 knots per hour. in between, gale force winds possible, but a fair amount of sunshine. it will feel distinctly chilly compared with the past few days. the wind will make it feel a good deal colder than these temperatures suggest. a cold end to sunday. the rainbow push off to the north sea overnight, and the frost will return on sunday night. a fresh and cold start to monday morning. frosty for many of you, lots of sunshine, a view isolated showers along the east and elaine coast. some showers in the west, a mixture of hail, sleet and snow. cloudy across parts of wales and south—west england. monday between four and 8
8:46 am
degrees. around where they should be for this time of year. maybe not feeling quite as cold as sunday. thank you. some respite from the cold. people with pre—existing health conditions who want to travel to europe after brexit are facing uncertainty over travel insurance. at the moment, they can rely on the european health insurance card, which gives holders access to urgent medical treatment on the same basis as locals. but it won't work in the same way after the uk leaves the eu. paul lewis has been looking into this for us. morning, paul. with them routinely, and it give them if it is an accident or some
8:47 am
old problem flaring up, they can get health care in any eu country as if they were a local of that country, normally free in most cases. once we leave the eu, that card will no longer operate. we are leaving on march 29, as far as things stand at the moment, we never know with parliament meeting on tuesday, but if we have theresa may's deal, there will be a transitional period up to december 31, 2020, and throughout that period, the ehic will work. but once we do leave, whether it is on march 29 or 2020, or a different date, once they have actually left, that card will no longer work. so, the uk government has to do reciprocal deals with every one of the other 27 member states to make sure that we have those arrangements in place. spain has said it is keen
8:48 am
to do such a deal, but they all have to do such a deal, but they all have to be negotiated, and the secretary of state has onlyjust got the power to do that. i don't think this is going to be a top priority, of all the hundreds of other things the uk is going to have to negotiate once we finally leave the eu. at this moment in time, if anyone has a holiday booked, or is planning to travel to the rest of europe, what should they be doing in terms of medical cover, if they are concerned? they have to think, if we leave with no deal on march 29, then this card will not work. there may be some future arrangements, but it won't work immediately, so they should obviously get medical insurance. the problem with that is that if you have an existing condition, that medical insurance won't cover you and with some conditions you won't get cover at all for any prize. it will be difficult for people with existing conditions who may be think that
8:49 am
something might happen, or something might flare—up, said people should be very aware of this when they are booking holidays. after tuesday, we may have a clearer idea of when we will finally leave the eu, we may not, but it is something for people to bear in mind. i know you are going to look more on this at midday on your programme. yes, and a professor of eu law from sheffield university will put everything in the right context. thank you. what makes somewhere a great place to live? well, perhaps we can learn something from orkney, off the northeastern coast of scotland, which has topped a uk wide "quality of life" survey. breath—taking landscapes, community spirit and a relatively affordable cost of living helped it secure the number one spot, after two years as runner up. we'rejoined now from orkney by local reporter sarah sutherland, and here in the studio by estate agent, robert reed. sarah, good morning to you first of
8:50 am
all. we can't see much of orkney from the picture i giving us right now, but has ordered his that is so magical about the place that is home for you. well, it isjust an outstanding place of natural beauty, we have got so much history here, it is easy to take it for granted when you live here, but it isjust is easy to take it for granted when you live here, but it is just a wonderful place to live. a lot of people say, we know and we have seen many of the pig tours of how beautiful it is their —— pictures, in terms of the geography and the beaches, but a lot of people say community ultimately makes a place a lovely place to be. give us a sense of what it is like there. like anywhere else in the country, we have our problems, social problems and health problems, but our sense of community helps us band together and combat any problems we do have.
8:51 am
a very balanced view of what orkney is like. robert, you are from the north of england, and i think richmond share in yorkshire has become runner—up. and rutland is third. orkney looks beautiful, but the practicalities when it comes to working, how do you think that works out? i do think that when people are selecting where they want to live, they are strongly influenced by fax is like work and where your family are, all of those issues are quite prevalent when people are choosing where to live. that's not to say that orkney isn't fantastic, and i am sure many people if they could live there, would be delighted to do so. live there, would be delighted to do so. but practically speaking it would not be possible for
