good morning — welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: more travel chaos, as heavy snow leads to a second night of delays — motorists were left stranded as major routes in the south east of england became impassable. very picturesque, i'm sure, but being here in the traffic, stationery for nearly five hours now, is not a huge amount of fun. following the recent disruptive snowball, there are still warnings in force, mainly for ice but if you further snow showers but in many of us, it is an improving picture, much drier brighter and i will have more detailed view in 15 minutes. the moment millions of tonnes of mud engulfed buildings, after a dam burst in brazil leaving more than 300 people dead or missing. a call for a ban on smart phones in schools from englands‘ school standards minister. an incredible start to this year's six nations. french fumbles in the rain,

help wales produce one of the biggest comebacks, of all time, to win 2a—i9 in paris, it's saturday the 2nd of february. our top story. snow and ice has caused a second night of disruption across parts of the uk. in the south of england, dozens of motorists were left stranded for hours, as the wintry weather brought traffic to a standstill. highways england says its gritters covered 80,000 miles of roads overnight, with some weather warnings set to remain in place for much of the morning. kathryn stanczyszyn has the details. a nightmarejourney a nightmare journey home. a nightmarejourney home. as the extreme weather continued last night in southern england, some parts of hampshire sought 7.5 inches of snow. it led to chaos on the m3 when motorists were trapped for hours. emergency services struggling to

reach them. swirling blizzards made driving dangerous on many other routes as well, including the a339, where ian got stuck travelling home on his last day of retirement. it's very picturesque, i'm sure, but being here in the traffic stationary for nearly five hours now is not a huge amount of fun. sometimes even the people sent to help struggled. here in basingstoke, willing volu nteers here in basingstoke, willing volunteers pushed this ambulance uphill when the specialist vehicle sent to rescue it also got stuck. at raf 0diham, a serious covering but also fortunately the equipment to deal with it. 0vernight, the worst of the snowball centred on the south—east. in kent, police were exceptionally busy dealing with accidents. highways england set gritters covered 80,000 miles of routes overnight but travel and many smaller roads will still be tricky.

for some, that point matter. as the weekend means they might actually be time to enjoy it. kathryn sta nczyszyn, time to enjoy it. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. footage has been uncovered showing the moment a dam burst in brazil, releasing millions of tons of mining waste. 115 people are now known to have died in the disaster — hundreds more are still missing. 0ur science editor, david shukman reports from the site of the dam, in the south east of brazil. first, along cloud of dust then a nightmare vision of an unrelenting torrent of sludge. the waste from decades of mining racing towards hundreds of unsuspecting people down below. the catastrophe unfolded a week ago but only now has this video come to light, adding to the sense of loss and of outrage. and difficult for you? this red cross volunteer leads me to the edge of the disaster zone. six bodies. six bodies? he alone has found six

bodies. any hope of reaching survivors in this endless sea of mud was quickly dashed. emergency workers are now scouting for any signs of bodies from the hour. by the time the wall of mud reached this point, it had already over warmed —— overwhelmed the cafeteria where the miners were having lunch and destroy the offices of the mine itself before arriving here, tearing through a whole —— a hotel and holiday chalets before surging on to that region the distance and down to the valley beyond where it caused yet more destruction. 0n the question that everyone here is stunned by is how in a big cairo —— growing modern economy this could ever be allowed to happen. investigators are now on the scene. the dam holding back the waste was owned by one of the world's largest mining companies. it was inspected only last year. a special mass seven days since the disaster. there is grief and anger and the demand

france is only grow. david shukman, bbc news, in brazil. children should be banned from bringing smartphones into school. that's according to the minister for school standards in england. nick gibb has spoken out, as the government prepares to publish new guidance on internet safety, social media and online gaming. here's our political correspondent chris mason. schools in england already have the power to ban phones from being brought onto the premises but government policy is that it's the responsibility of head teachers to determine whether is appropriate. nick gibb said it was as a view that schools should ban their pupils from begging smartphones into school. the government is due to publish new guidance for schools shortly and expected to say children should be taught to limit the amount of time they spend on the internet. nick gibb said while there was nothing intrinsically damaging about spending time on line, it reduced

time the conversation, exercise, home work or play. the trade union be naht which represents school teachers and those in primary is expressed scepticism about the outright banning of phones in schools, saying it can drive use underground. chris mason, bbc news. the united states will today pull out of a nuclear disarmament treaty with russia. the deal was signed during the cold war and outlaws the use of intermediate range nuclear missiles stationed on land. moscow has angrily denied american claims that it had violated the terms. two men have been shot and injured in separate attacks in londonderry. police have said they were paramilitary style shootings. both men have been taken to hospital and are said to be in a stable condition. it comes two weeks after a car bomb exploded in the city centre. plans to prevent censorship during debates at universities have been drawn up following a number of incidents where speakers were banned from campuses. the guidelines, which are designed to encourage open debate unless there's been a breach

of the law, have been drawn up by the equality and human rights commission, together with students and universities. celebrity—endorsed ads that promote weight loss products should be banned on social media, according to englan's top doctor. some celebrities with lots of young followers are promoting products like diet pills and detox teas. nhs medical director, professor stephen powis, says these products can have a damaging effect on young people. celebrities and social media companies that promotes these products have a real responsibility to think about the adverse harm they can have on young people's mental health. the nhs is doing more than ever, and investing more than ever in its mental health services to support children and young people but we can't fix these problems are lowden. we need others in society to ta ke lowden. we need others in society to take responsibility, to step up and make sure we are reducing the many

pressures on young people. lots of household items, from electrical appliances and toys, to drinking glasses, contain the letters c and e. it's the european safety symbol, but if there's a no—deal brexit, it will have to change, and it could be costly for businesses. the bbc has learnt that the government is about to announce plans for a replacement. our business correspondent rob young has been taking a look. kettles, peters, toys, lightbulbs. dozens of items in your average home are stamped with the letters c and naht. the marque says a particular product meet legal requirements and has been tested to high standards. consumers have been told to buy goods with this symbol. it's been with us for more than two decades. the c with us for more than two decades. thece with us for more than two decades. the c e mark belongs to the european union so of britain leads the eu without a deal, items on sale like these will have to be stamped with something else to show consumers the

products meet the rules. this is the new logo the government has drawn up. it stands the uk conformity assessed. this is what it might look like on the back of a smartphone and on the label of a tory stood there is no deal, this is the mark we will have to look out for on products in the shop. the uk mark would provide confidence to consumers and to the authorities that these products placed on the market in the uk were leaking —— meeting uk regulatory requirements so it provides flexibility for government should there be divergences regulations, to insist that manufacturers were committing to that uk regulatory practice in future. if the new logo is to be used, companies would have to change their packaging, advertising and an element of the product themselves. businesses warned it would mean higher costs, at least in the short—term. that's another reason many companies want the government to have some kind of

brexit deal with the eu. rob young, bbc news. the duchess of sussex thought of a surprising way to send messages of love and empowerment to sex workers during an unannounced trip to a charity yesterday. as she watched food parcels being prepared for vulnerable women, she decided to write on the bananas. megan's messages included: "you are strong", "you are special", "you are brave" and "you are loved", followed by a heart. those are the main stories this morning. a full weather forecast for you coming up in a little while and we will talk about the weather in just a moment. also, the sport. january has been a month of extreme weather across the world, with north america and canada enduring one of the worst cold snaps in decades, while australia recorded its hottest month ever. it got as cold as —48 degrees celsius in parts of the usa, while in australia temperatures have been pushing a0 celsius.

we're joined now by bill borghoff, senior forecaster at the national weather service in minneapolis and seven news weather reporter melina sarris, who is in melbourne. good morning to both of you. bill, ifi good morning to both of you. bill, if i may. the coldest is behind us and we are looking at it. a little bit about the effect it's had. you are used a pretty extreme weather there. it's not unusual but this has gone slightly beyond that, hasn't it? the coldest weather since 1996. schools were closed. a lot of businesses closed as well. pretty unusual to close down the state of

minnesota. the real risk to life. danger if you outdoors for a certain length of time. with the wind chills as low as —55 celsius suggest that incredible danger in terms of cold will give you frostbite within five minutes and we've had a couple of dozen fatalities across the country. it's been a very dangerous cold wave. we can see the charts on your computer screens behind you. have you had a chance to look at what's been happening? the polar vortex which was a new phrase to me certainly, tells a bit more about what's caused this. the polar vortex has always been a permanent feature to the polls. when the circulation wea ke ns, to the polls. when the circulation weakens, it allows cold air to spill into various parts of north america and south america. actually the northern hemisphere. just one of those particular lows was able to die down into canada and the

northern us, bringing incredible cold all the way down this way. thank you very much. let's talk to seven news reporter melina sarris in australia. tell us what it's like over there. over here at the moment, a very hot weekend. 3a degrees outside at the moment and very sunny and tomorrow for sunday, we are heading for a top of 39 degrees before a gusty change comes in and that's the most bushfire conditions will really be dangerous so there is a total fire ban will really be dangerous so there is a totalfire ban in place but as you said, without extreme heatwave conditions right across australia. last month was the hottest january on record. the hottest brit recorded around australia was 49.5 degrees. that was in portal gusto in south australia. fortunately, we are a little cooler here in victoria.|j

can't even imagine what that feels like. we were talking about the extreme cold. can't even imagine how people cope, how wildlife is coping as well. can you give us some idea? we are as well. can you give us some idea? we a re pretty as well. can you give us some idea? we are pretty used to it. we are used to those extreme temperatures but the authorities get right on top of it as soon as those forecasts come out on the issue plenty of warnings to make sure people are prepared to these very hot conditions. the emergency services put on extra paramedics to deal with those heat related illnesses, the heat stroke they see coming through on those days of extreme heat and we also see, we hope, by heading to the beach, lots of people jumping also see, we hope, by heading to the beach, lots of peoplejumping in also see, we hope, by heading to the beach, lots of people jumping in the water and stating call out about it. understand there have been incidents of s na kes understand there have been incidents of snakes trying to find relief, trying to find water, downed in bathrooms and such. and lots of other wildlife dying simpler because they are in drought areas. it has been one of the worst drought

yea rs it has been one of the worst drought years so livestock has been struggling and we have been finding snakes in curious areas. lots of suburbs that are not often seen in, snake catchers are finding them. close to the cities. it is quite unusual. in stark contrast, when you have had drought conditions floods can happen when you have extreme and even normal rainfall. a disaster declared in townsville, in queensland? right at this moment, northern queensland is experiencing some catastrophic floods. an extraordinary amount of rain up there. major rivers have reached

peak there. major rivers have reached pea k levels there. major rivers have reached peak levels and a disaster zone has been declared in the area. the army moved in today helping people sandbagging and helping people. people evacuated. more heavy rain on the way so the flood disaster is not over. they are expecting rain totals of two metres in queensland. stay safe, enjoyed her sunshine, of two metres in queensland. stay safe, enjoyed hersunshine, of course at stay safe. no weather presenters and then three come along. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. how do you feel being compared to a bus? to be honest i am not feeling it my best, i am full of cold. i will not bite too much. we have been

hearing about the intense cold across the midwest and the heat we have seen, one of the hottest january on record in australia and the flooding in queensland. 0ver here, snow. not as cold as the state we have had exceptional amount of snow. in the south of england where we do not normally see the 10—15 centimetres. this is from the m3 yesterday. we have a disruption in kent as well. through the later part of yesterday afternoon. but there are still warnings in force. not just in the south and east but across much of the country we have initially it was raining but then it turned to snow. ice is the main concern for most of us if you are heading out this morning. it is not

as cold as it was last night, —15 in the islands. the good news today is we have a lot of dry and bright weather. cloud will be a pest. wintry showers coming in for cornwall. again, through the day, snow showers coming to the north—east of england and east anglia, possibly can. the wind direction is changing so that could cut off the snow showers. quite a lot of snow in edinburgh overnight, for example. 0n lot of snow in edinburgh overnight, for example. on balance today it looks dry and bright for many of us with some sunshine. it will not help oui’ with some sunshine. it will not help our temperatures much, it will still feel cold. 0ver our temperatures much, it will still feel cold. over the snowfields, temperatures will barely get above freezing but we will see some snowfalls taking place. through this evening and overnight, clear skies.

it will be very cold tonight. it looks at it could be colder than it was not last night but the night before. potentially minus double figures to start sunday morning in areas. some decent weather to start the day but we are starting them to get the atlantic influence, the milderair get the atlantic influence, the milder air trying to come in across ours. that poses the risk of further snow because it is coming into the cold air. initially snow at low levels and most definitely in northern areas. it takes a while for the wintry area to come in. it does look like a more dismal day as we go through sunday with cloud, rain and initially some snow next week it looks a little bit milder. back to you. by

by then your cold would have gone, honey and lemon can help. now it's time for the film review with mark kermode and carrie gracie. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? we are definitely in awards season, so we have a couple of contenders. first the green book, the story of an unlikely friendship. can you ever forgive me? the memories of a literary forger. and burning, a breathtaking film from south korea. where do you want to start? green book, first picture, best supporting actor, and mahershala ali is tipped to win. peter farrelly with his brother

used to make comedies, like dumb and dumber, and this is a comedy. it is based on a friendship between tony, who needs work, and old school races. and old school racist. he goes for a job interview and he finds that the job is to be a chauffeur and minder for an african american pianist. but he needs the work. they are to going to the segregated south. and they are chalk and cheese. one of them is educated and a brilliant musician and the other is vulgar and comes from the streets. inevitably during theirjourney together they find they have things in common, not least when tony is trying to write letters home to his wife and don starts to tell him how he should write a letter. here is a clip. dear dolores, d—e—a—r.

this is an animal. "as i am writing this letter i'm eating potato chips and i'm starting to get thirsty." you know this is pathetic, right? tell me what you are trying to say. i don't know. you know, i miss her. then say that. but do it in a manner that no one else has ever done it before. something like... put this down. " falling in love with you was the easiest thing i have ever done." "nothing matters to me but you and every day i am alive i am aware of this. i loved you the day i met you. i love you today and i will love you the rest of my life." aw. it is a good—hearted film, you can see from that. it is 0scars, so whenever there is an oscar contender there is controversy.

0n the one hand, this is not true, they were not friends, it was an employer and employee relationship. there have been complaints that this is a story about racism but seen through the eyes of a white character and he saves the day. there have also been comparisons with driving miss daisy, which won the oscar for best picture. but that was saved by the performances. in this case of this it is the performances that saves it. i understand the criticism that it is a soft film and it is just trivia. but the performances are really winning, so much so that when you are watching the film you think, i am going to park all the things i think that is wrong with it because i like the characters. i think mahershala ali has a good chance of winning. i think viggo mortensen does a good job with his role. you would be hard pressed not to be charmed by it because its heart is in the right place.

it makes a lot of mistakes, it is not ground—breaking and it is fantastically soft soaped. remember it is awards season. how much of the aspects of the chemistry between the two leads applies to your next pic of the releases? good question. melissa mccarthy and richard e grant have been nominated as well. this is based on a true story, the story of lee is real, an author who could not get published, so she started forging letters from famous literary figures, noel coward and dorothy parker. she found out she got quite good at it. she said in the film i am a better dorothy parker than dorothy parker. richard e grant is jack, the character she fakes the letters for. a lot of people say he is like withnail and i, but that character was needy. in this he puts up a lot

of front because he has got a lot of anxieties. she is fantastic. a couple of reviews have said it is a revelation. but it is not a revelation, she was in dramatic theatre for a number of years. she has always had a dramatic underpinning. this was brought to the screen and a very likeable form. i like the chemistry between them. nora ephrine's name comes up a lot in the dialogue in a funny way. and as a huge fan of her i liked this in much the same way. it is about the characters. it is about somebody who finds her own voice by pretending to be the voices of other people and i think it works really well.

richard e grant is terrific. it is a long overdue nomination. the next release, burning, which is not about chemistry and it is entirely different. this is based on a short story which i have not read. shy young man, his mother left home and his father was in trouble with the law and he has to turn to the family farm. one day he sees a girl who is outside a stall trying to get punters to come in and he does not recognise. what he does not realise is she knew him as a child from the village where they both grew up. hard to work out from that what that film is really about. exactly and i have seen the whole film and it is still quite hard. he is smitten but mystified. she tells him things but he does not remember. then she asks him to look after her cat which he never find. then she turns up with a playboy boyfriend who is a gatsby type figure and he likes to make barns disappear by burning them down

and then she disappears. the rest of the film is him trying to figure out whether she has disappeared, as she actually disappeared ? is he involved ? do we get any answers? maybe it is a murder mystery and maybe it is a film about rich and poor and town and country and reality and invention and memory and what you think remember. the film closes on you like this and it becomes so mesmerising. i was completely gripped by it and afterwards i spoke to a couple of people and said, was that a clue? did you see the cat? what i loved about it if it is one of those films that gets right under your skin. it is absolutely breathtaking. is it a murder mystery, a love story, a paranoid thriller? is it all in his mind? at no point does the film say, here is what is going on. it is really brilliantly mystifying in a way

which is completely mesmerising. ijust wanted to go straight back in and watch it again. i will watch it again. even on second viewing it will keep the secrets. you have got to be up with the uncertainty of it. how wonderful, i loved it. it is so hard to describe. you have no idea what you are talking about even after seeing it. go and see it to have a proper discussion with you about it. destroyer. i liked this. the whole of the best director list has not one single female director in a year that had so many great movies directed by women. this film has been sadly overlooked and it needs to find an audience. it is a really good, twisted cop thriller. and two sentences on best dvd. disobedience, again it is a story about life, love, religion, betrayal,

the universe and everything. wow, that will do me. that is a good collection for this week. thank you so much. and that is all we have time for. thank you for watching. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. snow and ice has caused a second night of disruption across parts of the uk. in the south of england, dozens of motorists were left stranded for hours, as the wintry weather brought traffic to a standstill. highways england says its gritters covered 80,000 miles of roads overnight, with some weather warnings set to remain in place for much of the morning. dramatic footage showing

the moment a dam burst in southern brazil, has been uncovered. these images, obtained by a local tv channel, show the moment a muddy sludge engulfed the area around the iron ore mine. an investigation into how this happened is underway. 115 people are now known to have died in the disaster. hundreds more are still missing. the minister for school standards in england has told the bbc he believes pupils should be banned from bringing smartphones into school. the government is about to publish new guidance on internet safety, social media and online gaming. the minister, nick gibb, said that while there was "nothing intrinsically damaging about spending time online" it reduces time for conversation, exercise, homework or play. the united states will today pull out of a nuclear disarmament treaty with russia. the deal was signed during the cold war and outlaws the use of intermediate range nuclear missiles stationed on land. moscow has angrily denied american claims that it had

violated the terms. two men have been shot and injured in separate attacks in londonderry. police have said they were paramilitary style shootings. both men have been taken to hospital and are said to be in a stable condition. it comes two weeks after a car bomb exploded in the city centre. plans to prevent censorship during debates at universities have been drawn up following a number of incidents where speakers were banned from campuses. the guidelines, which are designed to encourage open debate unless there's been a breach of the law, have been drawn up by the equality and human rights commission, together with students and universities. celebrity—endorsed ads that promote weight loss products should be banned on social media, according to englan's top doctor. some celebrities with lots of young followers are promoting products like diet pills and detox teas. nhs medical director, professor stephen powis, says these can have a damaging effect on young people. the government's planning to replace the ce safety mark on products sold in the uk in the event of a no deal brexit. since 1993 the letters ce on an item has shown that it meets eu standards.

without a deal the uk will no longer be able to use the symbol. it'll be replaced by a new logo, which businesses say will lead to higher costs. very rarely is there a sporting event that they get excited about that when you told me about the by that when you told me about the rugby yesterday... something happens you think in on something else happens. 16 down were wales against france. 16— nil? something else happens. 16 down were wales against france. 16- nil? the second half, a combination of the welsh speed, the fitness, yes it was raining. france shot themselves in the foot but that is not take anything away from wales. it was polishing. even so, there was only

one side and the second half. if the rest of the six nations, can match the drama in paris last night — we're in for a special tournament. wales trailed france by 16 points in paris, before that historic second half. our sports correspondent andy swiss was watching. they emerged to a cloud of smoke and a wave of anticipation. france against a wales team going for a 10th win in a row, fingers crossed. but those hopes it seemed was soon being swatted aside. rampaging through to put france ahead. an wales's prostration had onlyjust begun. liam williams at the ruled out after the video referee decided he lost control. it summed up the first half, as careless as france we re first half, as careless as france were ruthless. some sleight of hand

sending them clear as the hosts extended their lead in style. and when a dropped goal was fired over just after the break, it was 16— nil. wales, with the first type to forget. they needed something remarkable. and out of nowhere, they found it. josh adams was the spark as he sent thomas williams skidding over. and the sublime was followed by the ridiculous, a new addition to rugby's blooper wheel. much to george north's delight. france grabbed it back, the penalty making it 1917 but the greatest drama was yet to come as the hosts simply threw it away. george north with a stunning interception and dashed the glory. astonishingly, waleed had turned it around. it's fair to say the rest of the six nations has some act to follow. in these sort of

conditions, anything can happen. chasing everything down. the first half, we didn't have much luck. we got away from the game. refocusing and get back to know where we can be. you are absolutely right, that was fantastic. that interception by george north was fantastic. to have the anticipation, to chase the ball, and the french player who nine times out of ten wouldn't let go to ——go of it. being there, ready to pounce. england kickoff their campaign against the defending champions ireland. as expected, a lot of hype ahead of the clash in dublin. rory best says his side was concentrating solely on what they can do. what

england will bring us, we can control but that is the one thing that bags at you. you can't control what they do suffer us, it's about making sure there is consistency in everything we do and we aim to go out tomorrow and play the best game of rugby we can. they are of any month —— methodical team, they the session —based team, and they try to grind it out and they are good at doing that so we don't have to necessarily play the same way to beat them but what got to be good at is disrupting their rhythm and how they play and when we get opportunities to score points, take those points. in the women's competition, england ran in eight tries to demolish ireland in the opening match of their tournament. england are fully professional and the class showed throughout with a 51—7 win in dublin. zoe harrison and emily scott, amongst the scorers in the visitor's, 8 try victory. and italy ran in four tries, this the pick of them,

to earn a bonus point as they beat scotland by 28 points to 7 in glasgow. so to another difficult day for england's cricketers, in the caribbean as west indies, built a lead of 85 runs, heading into the third day of the second test in antigua. remember england had been skittled for 187, and for a time, it looked like their bowlers were some revenge, in the afternoon. but the windies patient approach, mixed with the occasional flamboyant shot, paid off and 3 batsmen scored more than 40. stuart broad was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, but the west indies will resume in control on 271/6. england are behind in this game. the only way of getting anything out of this game is they are going to have to bat very, very well in the third innings. i call it the first innings game versus the fourth innings. england need to set west indies 180 to try and have any chance of winning this game, so that means they've got to match west indies' score in this second innings. to do that, they're going to have to bat very well. kilmarnock missed

the chance to narrow, the gap on scottish premiership leaders celtic, to 3 points as they lost 2—1 to hearts. goals from sean clare and steven naismith, in a five minute spell, did the damage and althouthordanjones pulled a goal back, kilmarnock couldn't avoid theirfirst home defeat in 3 months. qatar, have won the asian cup, for the first time in their history. they beat previous champions, japan 3—1, in the final. not a bad goal, to win in it too. qatar will host the next world cup in 2022. hull kingston rovers, claimed the glory in rugby league's hull derby, but onlyjust. they won their opening superleague match of the season 18—16 with the last play of the game. jimmy keinhorst the hero as he snatched victory from defeat. elsewhere there were wins for castleford, and salford.. he was a winner last weekend in the united states but justin rose's return to the european tour ended early, failing to make the cut at the inaugural saudi international.

it's only the second time in 36 events that the englishman has failed to make it through to the weekend. dustin johnson leads after setting a new course record with an eagle and seven birdies in his bogey—free round of 61. failed to make it through to the weekend. dustin johnson leads after setting a new course record with an eagle and seven birdies in his bogey—free round of 61. it's the new sport played with a giant ball and 3 teams on court at once. it's called kinball and if you've ever had fun keeping a balloon off the ground with your family or mates this could be for you. remember that game rememberthat game in remember that game in the lounge where you try to keep the balloon off the floor? i remember the game. it came down a lot slower than that. that's more like it. will you go and get it? it's going to take too long. great britain is looking for players to send to the world cup later this year. i went to liverpool'sjohn moore university to join some of the hopefuls. it's the sport that is breaking all

boundaries, again they no game has gone before, starting with the size of the ball. the biggest ball in any sport, which floats on the air for long enough your team to try and stop it hitting the ground. it was invented by canadian about 15 years ago. he was ina canadian about 15 years ago. he was in a rock concert and that he saw a giant ball floating around the arena anti— saw how much people were enthused and having fun. when it's your team to serve, you shout the colour of the opponent. next, yellow, yellow, yellow. and in this 3- yellow, yellow, yellow. and in this 3— team game, whoeverfails to do yellow, yellow, yellow. and in this 3— team game, whoever fails to do so at the point to the other teams. as soon as i heard it, chase was on, a desperate attempt. 0h,

soon as i heard it, chase was on, a desperate attempt. oh, but my heavy touch just knocked it out. it also meant the other two teams scored a point. 0ne meant the other two teams scored a point. one of kin—ball‘s main aims is to get everyone playing together on the same team. i can get involved and that's good for me. it was quite easy. just touching the ball. and it's been particularly successful in engaging those people left on the sidelines. you are completely involved, no matter if you are the best player. at the moment of impact, everyone has got to be touching the ball. everyone has got touching the ball. everyone has got to ta ke touching the ball. everyone has got to take turns. if you are not included, you can't score points. another unique point is that teams to compete the same time so that points to stay closer to the end. it helps the boarding one team getting a thrashing and servicing interest

it. it makes it better because two teams are getting the point rather than having a bad day. you get absolutely battered. it works or your muscles as well. my legs are killing me, my arms and everything. kin—ball is now played in 40 countries around the world and at this you's world cup in france, great britain led to a team to the first time. some of the more experienced british players are having to go to the world cup. later this year, you really see the skills and the speed of the team involved. and you might think that playing with a huge ball would give you better ball control. it gives everybody a rest, at least. they had to go get it, having kicked it out, but they are finding that it

is very inclusive because they've got the weakest player, in the traditional game. you would get left on the wing. in that, you have to get all your team holding the ball. you'll have to work as a team and even the weakest player has to be involved. i'm not picking you as an example. but the joy of this, and every thing that might does, he does sports that people who might naturally sporting get into. sports that people who might naturally sporting get intolj sports that people who might naturally sporting get into. i think it's time for the weather, don't you? good morning. a better day—to—day. and indoor sportsday if you can get to it because, of course yesterday afternoon, this happened. the extent of the snow hitting the south—east of england, hampshire and

can have significant falls and we saw quite a lot of disruption and treacherous conditions. this was taken treacherous conditions. this was ta ken yesterday treacherous conditions. this was taken yesterday evening on the m3. it has frozen through the night. still warnings out, mainly for ice. but some snow still around. falling further north. the good news, for many of us, it is a dry your day. it is cold steel. showers coming in, through the central lowlands through the night. it could be very slippery. as we go through the day, showers mostly in eastern areas but this is often what you see this time of year, the moisture of the irish sea. mostly for the west of northern ireland, the north of scotland, the east of scotland, showers. then

showers easing with more sunshine coming through as the wind direction changes. but it will be cold again, as you can appreciate. some lying snow. it is only the first few days of debris. with the sunshine and lighter winds, it will help for us to fill less cold. —— february. it will be a cold at night, a hard sharp frost. we could have the cold est sharp frost. we could have the coldest night of the winter across the snowfields into double figures. tomorrow, it does not look as dry or as bright, initially, lots of sunshine tomorrow but when this arrives, it turns to snow even at lower levels. hopefully only

temporary. as the milder atlantic air comes temporary. as the milder atlantic aircomes in. we temporary. as the milder atlantic air comes in. we are still expecting some snow in eastern areas into tomorrow evening. it could still be quite icy as we get into monday morning rush hour but next week looks milder on the whole. rain, often windy. this is the forecast here... it looks like temperatures will be lifting. for the week and it is cold. a few wintry showers around but wind and crisp winter sunshine. back to nice ads. it's time for click now, and the team have been finding out the secrets behind the special effects in the film "marvel avengers". first though, they've been looking at whether technology could be the answer to donald trump's border wall between the us and mexico. the construction of a wall

at the us—mexican border has dominated american politics since donald trump joined the presidential race back in 2015. we are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration. it reached its crescendo in december, when the now—president announced a federal government shutdown over its funding. we're going to have a shutdown. there's nothing we can do about that. a record 35 days later it was finally lifted, without any real resolution, and it could easily be back on within weeks. as trump tweeted out a new design for his wall, now made of steel rather than concrete, the democrats did offer a potential compromise — to fund a border which used technology rather than physical barriers. but is that feasible, and what would it look like? we sent nick kwek to arizona to investigate. so i'm on my way to the nogales

border patrol station, one of the most technologically advanced control centres on the us—mexico border. the checkpoint itself processes hundreds of thousands of people every month. but today, i'm going on a ride—along with agent dan hernandez of border patrol, whose job it is to keep out those attempting to cross illegally. hey, just be advised i'm going to be around your location. we have 262 linear miles of border fence with mexico, but thousands of miles on the north end on the american side. it's a daunting task, and it's very vast, but with the technology, we're able to get a leg up on our adversaries. dan's patrol zone is larger than the state of newjersey. his sector of duty, tucson, made almost 40,000 arrests in 2017. out in this unforgiving terrain,

field agents like him go about their daily patrol. every piece of technology used by them is vital, and has to be reliable, even down to their radio coms. this one has to have an encryption that's even stronger than most police departments, because of the national security concerns, because of the criminal element. you have a radio that is equipped with gps. so if something should happen, i become incapacitated, i could press that button and help will come. help will come from here, the nogales control centre, where officers can literally see what is going on, thanks to a newly updated surveillance system. their solar—powered integrated fixed towers, also known as ifts, have long—range video and thermal imaging cameras, coupled with radar, to provide high—altitude points of view, for watchful eyes back at base.

we have tracking systems that can detect movement, and it places the camera at the source of the movement. before, we'd see some pixelation. with the cameras, just by the remote nature of their placement, it was very difficult to focus far away. but with technology, we've increased the amount of distances we can see and the accuracy of the images, and we're seeing really crisp, sharp images. so we're able to identify things that come over the fence, people that come over the fence, contraband that comes over the fence, and not only that, but it increases safety. if i go out to an area and i don't know what i'm waiting on, and i don't know what's out there, and i run into an assailant with a firearm, it might be a bad situation. but if i know that, prior to going in there, i might be able to bring other resources with me. as well as saving agents' time, and potentially saving them, the ifts have helped secure areas where physical barriers are not. down near mariposa wash, fencing has been raised to prevent erosion from waterflow, but a person could easily

walk through here. for all intents and purposes, we consider this defence the wall. so we don't want to think this is the only thing keeping america safe. we have the fencing as a tool, as another system we can utilise, but it by no means is supposed to keep anybody in or out. we are the force, with the agents, in conjunction with the technology, and this being utilised as a tool, that seamless integration of all three components is what makes the border secure, is having the agents to make an arrest, the wall, and then the technology to supplement both. this could be just a couple of miles, or it could be a couple of hundred yards. five minutes down the road, dan shows me a border section where technology is already having to do most of the work in keeping people out. just looking at this, this is completely not what i was expecting to see, i guess, when people have visions of the wall or, you know, the mexican border, the us—mexico border.

like i said, the presence of the fence isn't here. it's not a very powerful fence, by any means. it's just meant to keep vehicles out. whilst these sticks won't stop determined individuals, i'm told scattered sensors buried in the ground all around the area could catch them offguard. technology is intended to help agents do their duties. but, of course, it is not always criminals that get caught in the net. the recent migrant caravan crisis highlighted how many families make the perilousjourney in hope for a better life in the us. many have been torn apart, and some children have died since being detained by authorities. for dan, he says he is just doing hisjob. no matter on what side of the spectrum you fall on, border security is important for the entire country. we're law enforcement officers. we don't dictate the law, we just enforce the laws, so the best way to enforce the laws is by doing it in the most effective and most efficient way.

as well as giving agents eyes—on from a long range of rural terrain, imposing structures have also been used to mitigate crime in urban areas. so up that hill there is a rvss tower, or remote video surveillance system, which is keeping a close eye across this area, which historically has been quite dangerous. but having that eye in the sky has helped improve safety — or so i thought. on top of that tin roof there. yes, those are rocks. yes, those are all rocks thrown at agents. 0k, we got to get out of here. yeah, you got to go, you got to go, you got to go. so actually — we actuallyjust heard a rock land on the top of that garage there, so obviously people up there are throwing stones at us. so we're heading out. no—one is hurt, just be advised it's for safety. this is an area where usually scouts

or people involved in human smuggling are perched, and i believe there's one person underneath that tree. so he's a human smuggler scout. while scouts may sit for hours at a time, people crossing the desert move from place to place, so border patrol have mobile surveillance trucks to reach remote areas. they're equipped with thermal rangefinders, enabling operators to measure the distance between themselves and people crossing, and laser pointers, to give agents in the field wearing nightvision goggles a heads—up. customs and border protection has also begun testing drones with facial recognition cameras to help monitor the border from an even higher vantage point, and border patrol is trialling a new mobile—based navigation tool so agents can keep track of each other‘s live whereabouts. the border is changing every single day, and technology or investment in technology allows us

to keep up with the trends, with the smugglers, with counteracting any kind of negative action towards the united states at the border. whilst trump's wall continues to be a bone of contention, maintaining the border stretches beyond simply erecting more steel fencing. as i have come to learn, communication tools and surveillance systems play a pivotal role in everyday operations. whether technology can replace a wall altogether here is something which will be debated in the coming weeks. in time, you will know what it's like to lose, to feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail all the same. i think it's 3,500 vfx shots, which is a huge number for any film. hear me, and rejoice. it was a major sequence,

so it's the part of the film where ebony moore comes down to try and get the time stamp from dr strange. because we were on the show fairly early, in the preproduction phase, all of the designs of the suits were still really only in sort of 2—dimensional form. concept artists from marvel had worked those up, and part of our brief was to try to realise them in cg, and realise them in terms of motion, how they actually would move and work. so iron man's suit was a big part of that, its nano—tech. robert downeer had quite a bit of input into how that worked. so it has a couple of cords that you pull and the sujit tightens and allows the nano—tech to kind of spread out over it, which was his idea. spider—man has got his own problems as a character, because he's

so bendy, and i think quite often, the dislocations in his anatomy that would occur if you got into that kind of position are quite often hidden artfully in lighting. a lot of the effects are defined by the story and the storyboards. down to what happened to bricks, and making little darts out of bricks, that fly. we always look for reference, and he is an alien, so it's hard to find a reference. the character is old in quite distinguished, he is a wizard, so we looked a distinguished looking english actors, like peter cushing and christopher lee, took cues off their hair, what does their skin look like? and try and infuse some of that character and posturing into the character. you exhaust me. bring me the stone. thanks for watching

and we will see you soon. don't forget, we are all over social media. you will find us on facebook, youtube, instagram and twitter where we live at @bbcclick. good morning — welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: more travel chaos, as heavy snow leads to a second night of delays — motorists were left stranded as major routes in the south east of england became impassable. very picturesque, i'm sure,

but being here in the traffic, stationery for nearly five hours now, is not a huge amount of fun.
