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, stationary, for nearly five hours now is not a huge amount of fun. there are still warnings in force this morning, mainly for ice, but there will be a few further snow showers. but actually, for many of us, it's an improving picture. much drier and much brighter, and i'll have more detail for you in 15 minutes. the moment millions of tonnes of mud engulfed buildings, after a dam burst in brazil, leaving hundreds dead or missing. a call for a ban on smartphones in the classroom 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—19 in paris. good morning.

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. kathryn stanczyszyn has the details. a nightmare journey home. as the extreme weather continued last night in southern england, some parts of hampshire saw 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 crowder got stuck travelling home after celebrating his last day in work before 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 volunteers pushed this ambulance uphill when the specialist vehicle sent to rescue it also got stuck. at raf 0diham, a serious covering, but fortunately also the equipment to deal with it. 0vernight, the worst of the snowfall centred on the south—east. in kent, police were exceptionally busy dealing with accidents. highways england says gritters covered 80,000 miles of major routes throughout the night, but travel and many smaller roads will still be tricky. for some, that won't matter... whoo! ..as the weekend means they might actually be time to enjoy it. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. 0ur reporter caroline davies is by the m3 motorway

in the west of london. it seems traffic is moving there. yes, behind me the traffic has been going smoothly since we've been here for a few hours and just this side of the road is covered with a light dusting of snow so on the m3, junctions six and seven where the ca i’s junctions six and seven where the cars we re junctions six and seven where the cars were stuck last night, they we re cars were stuck last night, they were cleared in the early hours of this morning with help from hampshire police. we note that city airport was briefly closed last night and bristol airport had disruption yesterday but both airports say they expect to have a normal service today. on the ra i lwa ys normal service today. on the railways it's not the same story, we heard from south—western who seeks some journeys on heard from south—western who seeks somejourneys on their heard from south—western who seeks some journeys on their lines are disrupted and the advice is to check

before you travel. we heard that critters have been on the roads but they focus on major arterial roads so they focus on major arterial roads so make sure if you work on a smaller road, that may have been untreated, that you are careful because there is a yellow weather warning. 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, a long 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, hernando silveira, leads me to the edge of the disaster zone. seis corpos.

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 air. by the time the wall of mud reached this point, it had already overwhelmed the cafeteria where the miners were having lunch and destroyed the offices of the mine itself before arriving here, tearing through a hotel and holiday chalets before surging on over that ridge in the distance and down into the valley beyond, where it caused yet more destruction. and the question that everyone here is just stunned by is how in a big, 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's grief and anger,

and the demand for answers will only grow. david shukman, bbc news, in brazil. children should be banned from taking smartphones into school. that's according to the minister for school standards in england, nick gibb. the government is preparing 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 this is appropriate. nick gibb said that it was his own view that schools should ban their pupils from bringing smartphones into school. the government is due to publish new guidance for schools shortly and it's expected to say children should be taught to limit the amount of time they spend on the internet. mr gibb said while there was nothing intrinsically damaging about spending time online, it reduced time the

it reduced time for conversation, exercise, homework or play. the trade union the naht, which represents school leaders, and particularly those in primaries, has 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. celebrity—endorsed ads that promote weight loss products should be banned on social media, according to england'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 promote 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 alone. we need others in society to take responsibility, to step up and make sure we are reducing the many pressures on our young people. 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. now, take a look at this, too quite important letters. ce. you see them

on many devices. it's been issued by the european union and it is going to change when we leave the eu. since 1993 the letters c and e on an item has shown that it meets eu standards. after brexit the uk will no longer be able to use the symbol. it'll be replaced by a new logo, which some businesses say will lead to higher costs. those are the main stories this morning. we have all the weather coming up and mike has all the sport looking ahead to date of nations by. 0ne by. one of the issues coming up over brexit is that mark. theresa may hopes to renegotiate her deal in the coming weeks and,

the issue of a potential border on the island of ireland is the main stumbling block. the 27 eu countries are determined not to budge on what has already been agreed. one of those countries is germany, we'rejoined now by the germanjustice minister, katarina barley. we are pleased to have you on our programme. you have dual citizenship, german and british, could you explain? my father is british and my mother is german so i was born british and i became german at the age of six and i hold both passports. we speak you as secretary forjustice in the german government. can you give us an overview of what you see of what is happening in terms of brexit the uk? what we see is what we have been seeing for the last years, that nobody seems to have a clue how to solve the big problems and the biggest one is the border question.

i went to the border region yesterday and talk to people on both sides and both of them insist they do not want a hard border, that would destroy economic relationships, part families and they fear for the peace process we have seen since 1998 with the european union supporting it. you have been to the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland, how does the german government see that border literally looking in the event of no deal? we wa nt to looking in the event of no deal? we want to avoid a hard border, i think eve ryo ne want to avoid a hard border, i think everyone does, so what we need is a solution that for us is vital for ireland. if the uk leaves, then we will see this border as an exterior

border of the eu and the slogan was ta ke border of the eu and the slogan was take back control, 0k, border of the eu and the slogan was take back control, ok, so that's what it's about, taking back control of borders, so we need sufficient a nswe rs of borders, so we need sufficient answers from the british government, how they intend to do so. the question was, in the event of no deal, what would germany be seeking that looks different in the event of no deal? if britain leaves, it will bea no deal? if britain leaves, it will be a border and it will be a european exterior border so it will then be in the hands of the british government to ensure how it will be controlled. i always hear about the travel agreement, that's fine for irish and british citizens, but if there are other people living there,

so asi there are other people living there, so as i said, tell us please how you wa nt to ta ke so as i said, tell us please how you want to take back control. theresa may has said she will go back to brussels to renegotiate the deal. that is her terminology but you tell me, is the german government prepared to re—negotiate? me, is the german government prepared to re-negotiate? we are not going to renegotiate anything about the backstop, it is vital for ireland, if the uk leaves, ireland is going to stay and it's one of the 27 member states remaining so we will protect its interests and we will protect its interests and we will not find an agreement where there is anything like a hard border, including. why are you not prepared to cooperate with theresa may to read something that can get through the british parliament? we

have been incorporating for two and a half yea rs have been incorporating for two and a half years and what we see is that they're still doesn't seem to be a clue how brexit should look, that has been a problem from the beginning and everybody wanted to know that before the referendum and pa rt know that before the referendum and part of the campaign was saying it would all be easy, solutions are on the table but they never were. this is something the british government has to solve. time is running out and it's getting close, what about this issue of a delay, is the german government in favour of some form of delay to avoid the uk crashing out? i cannot speak for the eu, delay to avoid the uk crashing out? i cannot speakfor the eu, but my personal opinion is that of course we can talk about a delay but we need an idea at the least of what we

are going to negotiate within this delay and i don't see a plan. i really do not see where and how other solutions can be brought up that haven't been discussed in the last two and a half years. it would appear that many of the european countries have become more united during this process. is that how you see it, they are more united than they ever were in relation to how to approach negotiations?” they ever were in relation to how to approach negotiations? i do feel so, yes. you're still 28, soon 27, very different countries and we want to stay different but brexit has brought it clear to everyone how important it is to talk to each other and solve problems when they arise, especially the eastern

european countries, they are very much affected by brexit so the 27 have stood closely together and i think that will stay this way.|j think that will stay this way.|j think some of the frustrations you talk about are reflected in people who watch our programme, is there an element of angered developing among the eu countries and also, is theresa may in some way being diminished in the eyes of the eu because, as you say, you still don't know what it is she is asking? it's not about anger, that is not a category in politics, it's kind of a desperate feeling because we didn't wa nt desperate feeling because we didn't want the uk to leave in the first place, i love this country and most

other european citizens do. we are where we are. we will miss you terribly, i just want to make that clear but theresa may didn't opt for this, she was not the one who created all this mess but at the moment i don't see a plan, as i said, a delay would be fine, i guess, with the eu but there has to be something that we can talk about and that we can work on an something that respects the irish interests and as faras that respects the irish interests and as far as i have seen, also that interests in northern ireland. katarina barley, thank you for your time, the secretary forjustice in the german and, some offer reflections having visited the uk.

fascinating, trying to figure out how the eu see these negotiations hanging out and it reflects on many of our viewers, what are the a nswers ? lots of our viewers, what are the answers? lots of weather and traffic disruption, helen, how much longer will it last? it's how quickly it melts now, we haven't got that much more snow to come, there will be a bit tomorrow but at the moment there is quite a lot of lying snow, you can see that here but also we had some rain showers this morning in norwich so there is a bit of up mixture coming m, there is a bit of up mixture coming in, mostly at coastal regions but a lot of disruption due to snow and there are still warnings for mostly ice but a few further snow showers. eastern and central scotland, eastern parts of england and the

west of england and wales, showers in central lowlands, in edinburgh overnight, they are starting to ease. the wind direction changes and they could come further inland into east anglia but right on the coast in norwich it is rain and in cornwall, but come inland and across pembrokeshire, it will fall as snow. snow showers for northern ireland, for that far north as scotland continuing as snow so temperatures will not be any great shakes, still quite chilly but there is less cloud and wind, and few were showers, so it would feel as cold as recent days so rarely cheerful, 4—6 other highs but they will drop like a stone this evening and they will plummet even

in towns and cities clear skies, —3 and “11 so a lot lower in the countryside, temperatures drop much more quickly and across scotland, it could be the coldest night of the winter so far but then we get atla ntic winter so far but then we get atlantic influenced tomorrow, a succession of weather fronts waiting in the one winds so as they come into that cold air tomorrow we will see some snow, it will become more ofa see some snow, it will become more of a feature on the hills and mostly northern ireland and england and scotland, a fairly bright date to come but then tomorrow evening and overnight tomorrow, more rain comes m, overnight tomorrow, more rain comes in, so the atlantic influenced starting to get rid of that cold air, still snowing over the hills, it will be a fairly chilly afternoon despite that milder air and then as

we move into monday, it's back to this westerly atlantic slope which will bring in that much milder air to replace our arctic northerly is with westerlies, coming across the atla ntic with westerlies, coming across the atlantic and bringing some heavy rain and at times it will be pretty windy but next week are temperatures will approach double figures for the first time in a while, still chilly in the north but compared to this week it looks much milder but more u nsettled week it looks much milder but more unsettled with rain and wind. we are informed and warmed and all those things. thank you, helen. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. broadcaster ian collins is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to ian in a minute, first let's look at the front pages. the front page of the times is

talking about that ban on mobile phones in schools, this is from the schools minister. also on the front page of the daily mail, screen limit for children, about guidelines and how long youngsters should spend on video games, a picture there of penny lancaster who is set to be a special constable. is she on tv? no, she has signed up as a volunteer special constable so she can go out with the police. the front page of the sun newspaper dominated by a story about the duchess of sussex, she has written messages to people on bananas which were being handed out as food parcels, you are strong was the message. on the guardian,

officials warn of piles of waste after brexit, it says government officials are preparing to deal with this rubbish, according to the lea ked this rubbish, according to the leaked documents and the picture is ofj.d. salinger a leaked documents and the picture is of]. d. salinger a year after one leaked documents and the picture is ofj.d. salinger a year after one of his most famous books, the catcher in the rye,, was published and he has written a significant amount of work that has never been seen. this is about organ donation. work that has never been seen. this is about organ donationlj work that has never been seen. this is about organ donation. i feel this debate has gone on for years, should you opt in or out, people opt in and carry a card and beer on a database to say they would like to donate in the event of their death and the argument has been, should you have a say if you don't want to donate your organs? they are calling this max's

law after max johnson and his donor, keira ball, you would think it is a straight case but professor chris rudge, a leading transplant surgeon, is uncomfortable, he doesn't like the idea that the state should pressure a citizen into giving organs, he says it should be a gift and not an automatic assumption. i was surprised that would come from a transplant surgeon and they also say this move would save about 700 lives by year, i would have thought it would be more but that is the figure. i think most people are pro this idea. have you made eight personal choice? i always thought ta ke personal choice? i always thought

take anything but i have never signed up to that, probably the same as other people and you probably find people who have signed up to something and then the family can step in. overrule on the grounds of not wanting to upset them? there are charities around to circumnavigate that. the advice is to make it clear ina that. the advice is to make it clear in a living will to your family. we are mourning the death ofjeremy hardy. every now and then someone dies and you were shocked and this was shocking, he was 57, a socialist and a real political animal and even if you disagreed with him, the skill and the time, for those who have listened to the news quiz, he could

reel out a beautifully crafted monologue reflecting everything you we re monologue reflecting everything you were secretly thinking about our masters at westminster, he was a lifelong friend of jeremy masters at westminster, he was a lifelong friend ofjeremy corbyn but labour would still be in his targets, are very fluid and decent man. leaving aside his political comedy, just a personal note about how supportive and kind he was to other people. i remember him appearing on tv screens in the 19805, appearing on tv screens in the 1980s, he was in blackadder and sketch shows but his political protesting was one thing but the news quiz and the like were just made for him and i picked it from the guardian because that was the paper he wrote for. i think it's covered in a few of the papers, on

the front of the sun as well, there is huge attention on the duchess of sussex because she turns up to an event so what happened? the reason i'm interested is because it shows how the royal family has changed and we saw it with diana, then it went quiet and this is the person who is bringing back the image, she was visiting a bristol charity to help women free from sex work, homelessness, addiction, making food parcels for some women and giving them out to vulnerable women and megan decided, i thought it was something they did but it was off her own bat, she wrote messages on bananas saying you are strong, you are brave, you are special, so a real impact for someone like to be

involved with a charity like this, royals would not have gone near something like this that allowed write personal messages but then we have heard going that extra mile. the quote was that she asked, does anyone have a sharpie? we showed a picture. we will talk to you again in aboutan picture. we will talk to you again in about an hour, look forward to that. we will be back shortly. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before 9am, helen will have the weather for you. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. there have been problems overnight, so we will bring you up to date on the developments with the weather.

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. some weather warnings are set to remain in place for much of the morning. 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 taking 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. celebrity—endorsed ads that promote weight loss products should be banned on social media, according to england'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. the government is planning to replace the european safety mark on products sold in the uk after we leave the eu. since 1993, the letters c and e

on an item has shown that it meets eu standards. after brexit, 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. those are the main stories this morning. helen will keep you updated, but mike has some fabulous sports news. we're celebrating this man, george north. what an iconic moment in any match. this was the moment he dropped the ball in slippery conditions. he pounced, and it was one of the big turning point is, the biggest second—half comeback, to win in paris. we will see the clips in a moment, but there was no indication that anything was going to change, it was going badly wrong for them. warren

gatland, the welsh coach would have had words, and he said it shows the value in chasing a lost cause. the french perhaps retired quicker than the lighter wheels players who maybe have the fitness towards the end. warren gatland said the conditions made a difference. ten victories on the trot. i ask a question from somebody who doesn't follow rugby closely, and don't laugh at me. are they allowed to play gloves when they allowed to play gloves when they play? it wouldn't be so good for handling the ball.|j they play? it wouldn't be so good for handling the ball. i have never seen a for handling the ball. i have never seen a player wearing gloves, and i suspect that means we're probably not allowed. you would have to have adhesive stuff, and it may give you an advantage. i do not think they would wear them anyway, even if they we re would wear them anyway, even if they were allowed. it is just not rugby!

it may set you up as a target in a funny way. if what happened in paris is anything to go by, we are in for a special month or so. 16 points down, and at half time, wales produced one of the all—time great comebacks to stun the french in paris, winning 24—19. let's get more on this by joining sarah mulkerrins, who's in dublin ahead of ireland—england later and, sarah, it will be hard to match the drama of that second half in paris. it certainly will. a phenomenal way to open this year's six nations, wasn't it? we're in dublin for the defending champions the grand slam winners ireland kicking off their campaigna winners ireland kicking off their campaign a little later. they host eddiejones's campaign a little later. they host eddie jones's england. but campaign a little later. they host eddiejones's england. but there is no doubt that here in dublin eve ryo ne no doubt that here in dublin everyone was watching the match last night, and what a comeback from wales. here is the bbc‘s rugby

correspondent. at 16—0 down, we were wondering what they were going to come do, but it was some second—half. come do, but it was some second-half. yes, 16-0 down away from home, in the rain! to come back from home, in the rain! to come back from that, i huge effort by wales, and the french will wonder what happened. warren gatland said wales have forgotten how to lose, which is priceless. scotland, they are the mid—afternoon game. they are the filling to the sandwich, they host italy. most people will expect scotland to get up and running this afternoon, really impressed away theirdebt afternoon, really impressed away their debt has been building over their debt has been building over the last few months. glasgow and

edinburgh are in europe, the manager is trying new combinations and bringing new players into the setup. italy have not won a six nations game since 2016. it is hard to see them doing it today, at murrayfield. there is also ireland against england. it's good to be brittle. yes, people have been saying it will be brittle, and whoever is more brittle will win the game. you will have to watch through your fingers. —— brutal. ireland have been on this enormous role, is there an era of complacency among the irish public? maybe. not amongst the players and coaches. england are coming, they are looking at playing the underdog tag. chris, thank you so much for joining us. all the build—up across the bbc. chris has said no to the

gloves for rugby. naga has been looking this up, and you can we're fingerless gloves, but what is the point? it is not the done thing. i looked it up, and you can, but they have to conform to the rules. something tells me if you are an england player going out in gloves, it will be sending out the bad message. you can watch scotland and italy later. 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 visitors' eight—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 out 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 three batsmen scored more than a0. stuart broad was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, but the west indies will resume in control on 271—6. hull kingston rovers claimed the glory in rugby league's hull derby, but only just. 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. kilmarnock missed the chance to narrow the gap on scottish

premiership leaders celtic, to three points as they lost 2—1 to hearts. goals from sean clare and steven naismith, in a five—minute spell, did the damage. and although jordan jones pulled a goal back, kilmarnock couldn't avoid their first home defeat in three 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 it too. qatar will host the next world cup in 2022. dan walker is here ahead of football focus. interest in talking about fingerless gloves. i can see matt dawson in this picture wearing gloves in a match. i feel less stupid. this picture wearing gloves in a match. ifeel less stupid. it isn't stupid at all, absolutely not, are

very valid point. there are quite a few glove wearers in the world of football. nothing wrong with that. today, we are on at midday, and we have a bit of insight into the world of the southampton manager. the first austrian to be in the premier league. he has done a greatjob, four points outside the relegation zone now, picked up a few wins in january. he's a different character, so this week we sent mike williams to find out a bit about the man outside of football, and he likes his piano. applause i hear that you play the piano a lot. is music quite stress relieving? yes, it is. although i don't have my piano here because it is too big, i cannot move it. but i like to play sometimes, it is good

for getting distressed down in the evening. i can play with headphones, so it is not disturbing everyone. that's amazing. a very talented musician. also looking at manchester city games, arsenal, talking about the transfer deadline. we have been given unfettered access to the manchester city women's team. an insight into the life of a professional footballer. and she was in the ice bath. i have done that, it is painful. steve bruce, back in football, used to be the manager at sheffield united, now he's crossed the city to sheffield wednesday. his mum and dad both died last year, and he took the whole family away on a

holiday in january, he took the whole family away on a holiday injanuary, reset he took the whole family away on a holiday in january, reset the he took the whole family away on a holiday injanuary, reset the clock, and he's starting in february, and talks late sheffield wednesday being a very established team. we have nfl premier league predictions. brilliant! it is on tomorrow night. we are jam—packed from midday. and no gloves. i wondered if any professional goalkeepers made the choice not to wear gloves. bob wilson didn't wear gloves. he used to play for arsenal. a player who played for england and west ham didn't wear gloves in training, and his finger went all over the shop. has little finger points off in that direction! but having extremely

spread fingers as a goalkeeper could bea spread fingers as a goalkeeper could be a plus! laughter look what i can do with my fingers! i think people should send us your photographs of people wearing gloves playing rugby. yes, please do. perhaps you do not want to think about gloves, perhaps you want to just look at the night sky. it really depends on where you live. the campaign to protect rural england wants us to count how many we can spot with the naked eye, so it work out the full impact of light pollution. breakfast‘s john maguire has been to northumberland — home to one of the uks dark sky parks. and with a little help

from a smartphone, lola and maisie find 0rion's belt. the three in a line, the belt. no, there. is that 0rion's belt? yes, there. look, there. why do you think guys you're so lucky, you can see the stars, and maybe other people can't see them ? because we live in the middle of nowhere! but what's the advantage of that on a night like tonight? there is no streetlights, so you can see... the black sky without the orange glow. it helps that it's a clear night and that we're in the northumberland countryside, away from the too—bright lights of newcastle. it's all lit up, isn't it?

it's orange and it feels like it should be completely dark. but it isn't, but that's all streetlights and houses and the cars. is that mars? we're pointing at mars on this thing, yeah. is it higher? no, that's definitely mars. oh, yeah. fabulous. the following evening, we're in nearby hexham, to see the lights go on. these are among the 116,000 streetlights which the county council is replacing with low—energy led lamps. it has taken four years, cost £25 million, but will save 1.3 million a year and reduce the county's carbon footprint. and there is another benefit. so, they have a special design, but we have to angle them correctly because you don't want them pointing up or sideways, or in people's windows. the light is more gentle and soft, much less harsh. we may not be able to control the clouds above us, but by aiming for dark skies, we can have skies filled with light — starlight.

that was a moment of peace this morning. that is definitely the place to be looking. i don't think the sky here will be as good as northumberland. and you can share your star counting experiences with others on social media using the hashtag starcount2019. we would be good to look to the night sky tonight? it isa night sky tonight? it is a good question. i think tonight we have a good chance of seeing many stars in many parts of the uk. it looks as if we have a cold and clear my head. —— night ahead. snow and ice, not such a concern with snow tonight, temperatures are

above freezing and we will see the snow melting a little. here is where we have snow showers just now. but for many of us there will be some good spells of sunshine throughout the rest of saturday. we will still have snow showers coming in of the irish sea coast and drifting into pembrokeshire. also, wintry showers across the mothers of devon and cornwall, particularly cornwall. with the shift in the wind direction, we will see them coming into areas of eastern england. so the eastern pennines, east of england and the north of scotland. we had more sunshine than we had yesterday, lighter wind, fewer snow showers. it will feel a little more pleasa nt showers. it will feel a little more pleasant than it did this time yesterday. it is pretty chilly, isn't it? if you're going out this evening to stargaze overnight,

bearing in mind that temperatures will drop like a stone. even some of the towns and cities in western areas temperatures are expected to get below freezing, which is unusual to see london at minus three degrees. it is —6 in newcastle. in the countryside, take off another five or six. probably the coldest night of the year so far. but it all changes tomorrow, because we start to get the atlantic influence in. from northern ireland the beautiful start goes quickly downhill, with snow at low levels. it will be the south and east where we see the least of the rain, sleet and snow, but it will come in, through the evening as well. so there will be some snow at lower levels but mostly an issue through the hills. the wind is starting to pick up, so still the risk of snow in the north, but it is

milder as we start the new week. a real change. yes, the first few days of february will be very cold, but next week is looking milder, with strong winds. the temperatures are fairly average for the time of year. a lovely night for stargazing. yes, we have to make the most of it because we have rain coming. yes, the coldest night of the winter so far, so we're lots of layers. people who live in places with a poor mobile phone signal may find shopping online more difficult in future. before they can pay, they may be asked to respond to a text mesage. paul lewis of radio 4's money box can explain. good morning, it is cold strong

customer authentication, as a way to stop online shopping fraud. plastic fraud stop online shopping fraud. plastic fra u d costs stop online shopping fraud. plastic fraud costs as half £1 billion, the banks, half a billion a year, so they want to tighten up top. europe has passed a directive which we want to put into our law, and from september every online purchase will be subject to this, and in many cases people will be asked to confirm who they are, by getting a text m essa g e confirm who they are, by getting a text message to their mobile phone, they put the number into the screen and that confirms that they have not just got the card, but the person's mobile phone, so it will make fraud more difficult. but the problem is, we spoke to a couple in devon, and they have no mobile signal at all, and no radio signal, so they have to listen to the radio online. so they cannot use the system, so the only

alternative would be to make a phone call, wait half an hour, by which time, the shopping page may have closed. what can they do about this? well, there are supposed to be alternative to getting a text message, maybe they could send a text to your landline, it can be done, and one credit card company is planning to do it. but the problem is, none of this is coordinated. 0f the provider has its own system it is thinking of doing some of them are it already. it is not clear how often you will have to do it. if it isa often you will have to do it. if it is a regular shopping trip to an online supermarket, maybe you will not be asked for this. but it is going to affect the way that we do online shopping between now and

september, then it will be universal from september. we do not really know the real alternatives, they are looking into them, but not clear about what they are, and they will all possibly have different systems. i'm sure you will look into this later at midday on the programme, but people already know about the three digit called, the cw being used, and sometimes when you get this authentication notice, people are so mindful of fraud that you can get confused as to what is genuine, why is this number now being asked for. yes, i think there will be confusion and problems and that is the concern of the british retail consortium. they are afraid of unnecessary friction and abandonment at online checkout. anything that puts a little barrier, however small, between you and your purchase, you might not do it. your phone might not be in the room, it might not have any credit, which

means that shopping trip is over. so they are afraid of that and want the cvv , they are afraid of that and want the cvv, the three digit number on the back normally, to carry on for a couple of years so that you have that alternative and people can get used to the new system. the question of fraud, you're right, if you get a cold call, generally the advice is to ignore it, but in this case you will be expecting it and should use it, to confirm who you are. ok, lots more at midday? midday, money box, radio 4. for those who have a radio single! 0therwise, radio 4. for those who have a radio single! otherwise, you can listen online. in the aftermath of the manchester arena bombing, security was stepped up at venues across the country. but the mother of martyn hett, who died in the attack, says the government needs to do more. figan murray has started a petition calling for a legal set of standards

for security to be set up. she's got more than 10,000 signatures, so now the government must respond. figan murrayjoins us now. good morning. everyone will understand why this is an issue so close to your heart. just tell us what it is you are seeking? well, i would like more security at public venues to keep people safe, basically. that is the bottom line. in practical terms, what would that mean? what would happen that is not already happening? it is happening occasionally in some places. in some places, more often. but it is very hit and miss. what i would love to happen is searching bags and metal detectors. so that is before you enter a lobby area before entering a venue? how would that work, for example the manchester arena bombing, there were lots of people outside the arena who

may not have had tickets. how receptive do you think people would be to that because it is almost putting a barrier before you enter the actual venue. putting a barrier before you enter the actualvenue. i know putting a barrier before you enter the actual venue. i know there is criticism of where do you draw the line, how far out the perimeter do you go? at the end of the day, wherever there is a big throughput of people to visit an event, there has to be security, people need to know if they are paying good money for a ticket that they are kept safe, that the venue organisers keep their customers safe. do you think people would be open to that, considering how much time it often ta kes to considering how much time it often takes to get into a venue anyway? there are ways round it. since the attack, arenas have started doing it, maybe with staggered entry times, they are given different times, they are given different times to arrive, but most people do

not mind waiting a little bit longer. given what happened to martyn, whenever you go to anything public, it must be right at the forefront of your mind, why have i not been checked ? forefront of your mind, why have i not been checked? and we have all had those thoughts from time to time. when i started the petition, the more people i spoke to, the more people said i go to these events but ido people said i go to these events but i do not feel easy. i have not been searched, and people are worried. to be honest, 10,000 signatures speaks for itself. what would you expect the next age to be, now you have had the next age to be, now you have had the signatures? this is not about me challenging the government, i would love the government to support me, i would like it to be taken seriously, andi would like it to be taken seriously, and i would love to have some action, i would love martyn law to come into place, especially

manchester, where it happened. you have campaigning since martyn's this? i have two eyes, does this help you, how are you? this? i have two eyes, does this help you, how are you ?|j this? i have two eyes, does this help you, how are you? i could have stayed at home and done nothing and been really upset and down. i'm incredibly sad and miss him terribly, but this needs to be taken more seriously, i do not want another parent to be sitting where i am. we often hear from people who've been caught up in desperately sad and having a focus for something being done as a consequence, if you like, can make a real difference in terms of how you deal with it. yes, it isa terms of how you deal with it. yes, it is a coping mechanism at the end of the day, but people sometimes respond to bereavement in a proactive way, which is maybe what i'm doing, it is my resilience and

the way i'm coping. if something good comes out of something really bad, that cannot be too wrong. we appreciate your time this morning, thank you very much. we're taking a look at swimming later on. there are some fascinating swimming pools outdoors, and we have lots of stories about people using these open air pulls. 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, stationary, for nearly five hours

now is not a huge amount of fun. there are still warnings in force this morning, mainly for eyes but there will be a few further snow showers, but for many of us today is an improving picture, much drier and brighter, and i will have more detail in 15 minutes. the moment millions of tonnes of mud engulfed buildings, after a dam burst in brazil leaving hundreds dead or missing. a call for a ban on smartphones in the classroom from england's school standards minister. an incredible start to this year's six nations. french fumbles in the rain help wales produce
