is supposed to be. he is old and quite distinguished, he's a wizard, so we looked at 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. and that's it for the short cut of click this week. the full version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. as are we on social media, facebook, instagram, and twitter, where we live @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. our headlines today... theresa may vows to deliver brexit on time as she prepares
8:01 am
to re—open negotiations in brussels — promising new ideas about the irish border a new search to try to find the missing cardiff city footballer emiliano sala and his pilot begins this morning off guernsey and would you know the difference between a knife and an kirpan? we look at the debate around carrying the sikh ceremonial dagger on aeroplanes in sport, england make the perfect start to their six nations campaign as they beat the reigning champions in dublin, ireland's first home six nations defeat in six years. scotland also open with a victory over italy. and another very cold morning alberta. a widespread frost but from tonight on words it's all change, milder weather on the way. good morning. it's sunday, february the third. our top story. theresa may says she is still
8:02 am
determined to deliver brexit on time, as she prepares to re—open negotiations in brussels. writing in the sunday telegraph, the prime minister says she will "battle for britain" in the upcoming talks, and hopes to come back with "new ideas" on the issue of the irish border. our political correspondent jonathan blakejoins us now. good morning, tell us more about what theresa may has had to say. couple of interesting things. firstly, as you say she is promising to go back to brussels with a new mandate and new determination. after the vote in the house of commons she has a new mandate, perhaps, determination, we will take her word for it but she is also promising new ideas. what they might be is unclear, nothing the government has suggested so far on the change to the backstop element which is there to avoid a hard border in northern ireland if a trade deal cannot be done as not been ruled out by brussels. maybe she has something else firstly that we don't know about but secondly promising to deliver brexit by the deadline of
8:03 am
the 29th of march this year, looking to put an end to talk of a delay, for many in westminster, including a result own cabinet, said there isn't enough time to get laws passed before then. the clock is ticking but as the european union said before it there is no room for negotiation on their sites of what do we expect her to come back with? we have a flavour of one eu member state at least in response to the prime minister this morning, the irish deputy prime minister simon called me about writing in another sunday newspapers saying the backstop part of the deal is a fundamental part of it and a time limit on it or exit clause for the uk, two of the things the uk suggested would render it redundant. — — coveney. suggested would render it redundant. —— coveney. he said there would be i'io —— coveney. he said there would be no stroll agreement without the backstop. theresa may said she is going to battle for britain in brussels, it by b she is facing a recall. we will follow it with
8:04 am
interest. jonathan, thank you. britain's car manufacturing industry is expected to be dealt a blow this week, when nissan announces it's cancelling a planned investment at its plant in sunderland. the company confirmed in 2016 that it would build a new version of its "x—trail" people carrier at the site, after receiving government assurances on the impact of brexit. it's understood executives will make an announcement to pull investment tomorrow. no immediate job losses are expected at the site, where almost 7,000 people work. victims of crime will be given new rights to challenge the release of violent offenders, under a review of the parole system. the change follows an outcry last year over the planned release of the so—called black cab rapistjohn worboys. it will mean that victims will not have to go to court to contest parole board decisions. instead they will be able to apply to the department ofjustice with any objections. hundreds of students have joined the search for libby squires, who went missing after a night out in hull on thursday. police say they are extremely concerned for her welfare, and herfamily said her disappearance was completely
8:05 am
out of character, as simon clemison reports. no search is easy. but try subzero temperatures. the conditions here couldn't have made things more difficult. loving, down to earth, 21—year—old libby squire is studying at the university of hull. she got into a taxi outside the welly club on beverley road at about 11 o'clock on thursday night. it's thought she got out a short time later near her home off the same road, and was last seen on cctv at about 11:45pm. officers have been leading the operation to find libby, going from house to house. about 200 students have also been involved. i want to thank everyone for their messages of concern, for sharing the information about libby, and those who live in the area have been checking their gardens, porches and sheds to try to help us locate her. over 70 officers have been out searching, speaking to herfriends, visiting the pubs and clubs in the area, and making enquiries with those who saw her
8:06 am
during thursday evening. despite these efforts, we have still not located libby. libby's family say her disappearance is out of character and so, police are very concerned. but with more freezing temperatures this morning, for now, this search is not getting any easier. simon clemison, bbc news. thousands of police officers and civilian staff in england and wales have not been vetted to national standards, the bbc has found. the new guidelines — designed to weed out rogue recruits — were introduced in 2006, but figures from 31 forces show almost six—thousand staff have not had the retrospective checks. let's get more on this now from 5 live investigates presenter adrian goldberg. good morning. this is really
8:07 am
disturbing, these new guidelines we re disturbing, these new guidelines were introduced in 2006, and then with the idea they would be applied retrospectively but at research shows there are 6000 police staff who have not retrospectively checked to these new higher standards which gives you concerns about who exactly is dealing with some very vulnerable adults and children that police had to deal with on a daily basis. we will get an example of how this has fallen through the cracks already but what have official said? fallen through the cracks already but what have official said ?|i fallen through the cracks already but what have official said? i have spoken to the national police chiefs council and they speak about the demand of resources, having to check new recruits as well, so to go back retrospectively and check officers who have read easily been employed, this is a task but so far, many forces have found beyond them. on the face of it you would like to thank anyone who works at the police is extremely reputable as of course the vast majority are, but there's
8:08 am
one very high—profile case at the end of last year, which is as horrific as it gets. yes, a police officer was involved in a number of offe nces officer was involved in a number of offences in including sexually assaulting a 13—year—old girl whose house he had been called out to investigating a sexual offence. he had been accepted by the cheshire force, his application was because he allegedly had but involved in a serious sexual assault, but there we re serious sexual assault, but there were other offences on the police national database but they weren't picked up by cheshire police because he wasn't rebated, he was admitted back into the force in 2017 which gave him the opportunity to groom and horribly take advantage of this young girl. it shows shoot the impact. i must say cheshire police have change the guidelines since then but officials say rolling out, a wider issue, that is something
8:09 am
they want to do but it is taking time. we will have more on that at 11am. adrian, thank you. tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of venezuela in rival mass rallies. the head of the opposition — juan guaido is being supported by countries including the uk and us in his efforts to force president maduro from power. the president also spoke at a rally in support of his leadership and the current government. european countries say they'll recognise the opposition leader if presidential elections aren't called by midnight tonight. customs officials in india have detained a passenger after they found a month—old leopard cub hidden in his luggage. the cub was found when they heard noises coming from the man's bag. the animal appeared weak and in a state of shock and has been taken to a wildlife park to be cared for. authorities are investigating whether the man is part of an international smuggling ring. it is approaching ten minutes past
8:10 am
eight. it's sunday morning. good morning. it's nearly two weeks since a plane carrying the newly—signed cardiff city striker, emiliano sala, disappeared near the channel islands as it flew from france to wales. an official search effort was called off after three days but the footballer‘s family refused to give up. they appealed for funds and today a new search begins, funded in part by public donations. john fernandez is in guernsey to tell us more. tell us more, when is the search starting and how optimistic either? the search started at 3am this morning, the boat launched from guernsey on the heart of the town—mac one family. research is crowd funded, it's being coordinated by the air accident investigators branch and they are searching four squirt nautical miles. compare that to the search earlier, they must
8:11 am
have some idea where this lameness. we have heard the most likely cause was that the hybrid malibu plane, almost two weeks ago, hit the ocean and broke up on impact. although sadly as his self evident by the timing, this is a recovery operation and not a rescue operation. yes, it was made very clear yesterday that was made very clear yesterday that was the case. the private search will be looking for this missing piper malibu but when it is found, if they find evidence of it, the crowd funded search will have to stand down and the air accident investigation branch will be doing any kind of salvage operation. they are using unmanned submersible vehicles to search the surface of the ocean, an area called herds deep, quite a dangerous area when it comes down to tides and currents and
8:12 am
it has made it difficult to get out over the last few weeks. the hope is that they break in the weather they can get out for three days and hopefully find something for the families. captain richard meikle spent seven years with the uk s marine accident investigation branch. he can tell us more about how this sort of operation works. yes, two vessels as i understand it in the area ready to start the search, they will be carrying out a sonar scan of the area, which will provide a detailed picture of the sea bed. they will then be able to compare at the survey results with the existing surveys and anything which is unusual or maybe not expected, they will be able to follow up, but the more searches they carry out the more detailed picture they will get of the sea bed. when we considered the area being searched, how deep is it, what
8:13 am
is the area? i understand it's between 60 and 100 metres deep, quite deep, that will add its own challenges. the area itself i did not think is particularly large. we understand it's been narrowed to around four square miles. which a search area term, is limited. timeline? they search area term, is limited. timeline ? they have search area term, is limited. timeline? they have said three days but with the weather and tidal streams and with the depth any timescale to say they could definitely find it would be unknown. presumably, we have heard examples of airlines that have gone missing over oceans, it may have been in a certain place and it has ended up hundreds of miles away if it has ever hundreds of miles away if it has ever been found. would it be reasonable optimism this will be discovered? i think there is, the air accident investigation branch would put a two menders amount of effort into pinpointing the best position, the best—known last
8:14 am
position, the best—known last position of the aircraft and from that position, they will develop search plans from that. knowing the air accident investigation branch and how much effort they put into this they will be confident about the position and they will have developed search pattern is. couple of cushions washed up on a beachin couple of cushions washed up on a beach in france which has given them ideas as well. will it help come to get things that there is a private boat working alongside the official rescue? they have had time, they have been waiting for a weather window, they have had time to planners and both the private survey vessel and the air accident investigation branch so, they will be working together, they will have a plan and i would imagine if they are out there at the moment, they will be adjusting that plan as they go, once they have managed to deploy discounts and sonar to work out the best way of surveying the four square miles they are looking at. we
8:15 am
hope for the best, for a positive result. richard, thank you for talking to us. it is quarter past eight. take a look at the view across salford quays this morning. beautiful. a lovely sunrise, the snow gone. if you are in hampshire down in the south—west, and even the home counties, a bit of snow around. depends how long it will stay around. is there anyone who would know? i think we have one man who knows. good morning. that is what they are paying me for. a beautiful sunrise around manchester. that headline keeps disappearing! the next 24 hours will bring quite a change across the uk, turning milder. any of the snow left over will wash away. i say wash away because there is rain in the picture
8:16 am
as well. subzero temperatures throughout the nation, out towards the west the cloud streaming in, the wind increasing, some very unpleasant weather conditions at the moment in western scotland. not the beautiful sunrise here at all, in fa ct beautiful sunrise here at all, in fact it's close to freezing. the rain is falling, icy in some places, snow across the hills. this is temporary in scotland, some of the bad weather moving through northern ireland and the like district for a time. in the afternoon, some cloud left over here and there, some spots of rain, for many of us in the south the weather is absolutely fine and will have improved in scotland. much milder tonight. this low pressure moving through, the weather not great but it is going to warm things up great but it is going to warm things upa great but it is going to warm things up a little. some rain splashing through. and with milder conditions coming in, temperatures of! degrees
8:17 am
in aberdeen, 8 degrees in the south—west of the country, cute difference compared to what we had in the last few days. tomorrow the weather front might try its heels in the south—east for a time, london and norwich may stay damp in the first part of the day but for many of us tomorrow afternoon the weather licking fines. —— the weather looking fine. in belfast and manchester, temperatures of around 9 degrees. 0n manchester, temperatures of around 9 degrees. on tuesday, another weather syste m degrees. on tuesday, another weather system moving through. further wind and rain sweeping in, we keep the mild conditions. this is the outlook into the week ahead. as far as the weekend, you can see double—figure temperatures. it looks as though the 1st of february will stay pretty mild, pretty unsettled, spells of wind and rain. but the time being andi wind and rain. but the time being and i said all morning, looks like winter is on hold but i'm sure it will be back, i am sure we are not done with them to get. back to you.
8:18 am
thank you. at least the temperatures are getting higher, i think that's the key. we will ask you for a close—up of that time. the key. we will ask you for a close-up of that time. it has some sharks honoured. can we get that close? sharks honoured. can we get that close ? somebody cold sharks honoured. can we get that close? somebody cold it... see you later. thank you. it is 80 minutes past eight. sikhs who carry small swords, known as kirpans, for religious reasons, say they are facing discrimination and harassment amid concerns about terrorism and heightened security. which, on the face of it, you can understand. some sikhs have been questioned at airports, while another was banned from a theme park. now campaigners are hoping for clearer legislation to protect their right to continue carrying the kirpan. alex strangwayes—booth reports. long hair, cotton underwear, a wooden comb, steel bangle, and a small sword called a kirpan — all a vital part of a baptised sikh's identity.
8:19 am
jagmeet singh was questioned at gatwick airport, while meeting his family off a flight. a member of the public had reported a man carrying a knife. i could see if there was a concealed weapon of some sort and someone was acting dodgy in any way, but i'm literally a family man picking up my young family. this was quite disheartening in the fact that people who really should be aware had no idea. it's notjust airport security who will stop sikhs wearing the kirpan. one family's experience of being banned from a theme park led to a change of policy at nearly all the major tourist attractions in the uk — but you still can't get on the london eye if you're wearing one. i think the biggest one is the meditations side... the experiences of jagmeet and those like him have prompted a sikh education charity to launch a leaflet campaign and to get out and about to educate
8:20 am
the public about the kirpan. for sikh, a kirpan represents a religious honour and a blessing, it's a symbol of defence but in today's world, they say they wouldn't use it as a weapon. in the general world today, a sikh goes about wearing a kirpan all the time, but it's generally out of sight. a sikh is someone who wakes in the morning and they meditate, and also when it comes to our practices, we stay away from alcohol, we stay away from drugs,. so when it comes to a sikh, they're there to protect other people. the current law does say knives can be carried for religious reasons, and sikhs hope the new offensive weapons bill being drawn up at the moment will have more specific protections. the newly formed sikh police association wants all forces to use the leaflet to train their officers. we wouldn't say it's a blade or it's a dagger, the correct terminology is it's a kirpan. it is what it is. first rule of all, there wasn't an issue. second rule, there weren't any issues. legacy will show that there hasn't been any issues in the past. gatwick say it's up to the airport
8:21 am
manager to get permission to carry manager to give permission to carry blades more than six centimetres long in an airport terminal, but many sikhs say it's more important than ever for the public to understand that defence and defending the weak is an integral part of their faith and carrying the kirpan is an outward show of that belief. alex strangeways—booth, bbc news. it is 8:21am. the andrew marr programme gets underway on bbc one at 10am this morning. here's andrew to tell us more. i'mjoined by i'm joined by the i'mjoined by the home i'm joined by the home secretary, we will talk about exit, i am joined by gary back —— harry gardner, and mary jo—— gary back —— harry gardner, and mary jo —— mary lou mcdonald, the head of
8:22 am
sinn fein. it is 21 minutes past eight. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, politics lecturer victoria honeyman is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to victoria in a minute, first let's look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph leads with our top story this morning — theresa may saying she'll "battle for britain" when she travels to brussels this week. the observer says six disaffected labour mps have been drawing up plans to resign and form a "brea kaway movement". the mail on sunday claims the head of the climate change committee — john selwyn gummer — has been paid £600—thousand—pounds from green businesses who stand to make millions from his advice. he denies any conflict of interest, and says he's fully complied with disclosure rules. and the sunday times reveals a brexit plan to evacuate the queen on its front page. it gives details of emergency
8:23 am
proposals to remove senior royals from london in the event of riots being triggered by a no—deal brexit. a p pa re ntly apparently they've dusted off and old cold war evacuation plan, just in case. we asked earlier about how your students are reacting to exit. and we've also talked about why party politics has appeared to dominate and shape some of the decisions about brexit and the lack of cross—border coordination and agreement. that's something you are looking at here in the observer. you can understand why people are getting frustrated. absolutely, if you watched the amendment debate you saw people talking about it, yvette cooper talked about turning back to your party rather than turning forward. this article is interesting, talks about brexit in general terms but they've had research done for them which says in
8:24 am
all of the chaos that we are seeing, all of the chaos that we are seeing, all the uncertainty, voting intention is still 41% of those would vote conservative, 34% labour, 8% for the liberal democrats and if you go down, things like the approval ratings, theresa may was better thanjeremy approval ratings, theresa may was better than jeremy corbyn. it approval ratings, theresa may was better thanjeremy corbyn. it is extraordinary, you would expect in uncertain times people would look to the opposition and the opposition would ride height. think about player in 95, 96, the unsettling times underjohn player in 95, 96, the unsettling times under john major, player in 95, 96, the unsettling times underjohn major, labour were screeching ahead. downing street has denied saying that theresa may could be planning a general election for june, ithink be planning a general election for june, i think on one of the front pages, looking at the labour party being split. in the observer. is the observer? a potential split in our party as well. it's hard to see, if these figures are even relatively accurate it's hard to see what a
8:25 am
general election would achieve. because the 2017th general election would achieve. because the 20 17th general election which was supposed to finish the job created even more chaos. if the labour party split and it's been denied i'd those specifically named, there is an argument that it splits there is an argument that it splits the left of centre politics again which creates even more problems than those who find themselves left of centre, not even labour voters, but labour, liberal democrats. it's difficult to see how all of this can be resolved. in normal circumstances what would happen if politicians would push the situation back to the public, there will be another election referendum, but theresa may is saying, we will not do that. let's look inside the sunday times. such a sad story. a lot of this. the effects of social media on mental health. indeed, there's been a lot of discussion about how young,
8:26 am
vulnerable teenagers suffering with lots of concerns and worries, mental health concerns, or essentially finding notjust a health concerns, or essentially finding not just a way of support but finding avenues that encourage their eating disorders, their problems. this is a specific article, notjust problems. this is a specific article, not just about problems. this is a specific article, notjust about how dangerous it can be at the indications, a young girl, so we what's tragically killed herself but her parents found themselves in a situation they were unable to look at any of her online messaging because of data protection laws. it was only on the morning of her inquest they were able through the help of a friend to start identifying some of the most important posts she had made because she had multiple accounts they were not repeated. she was also an adult, i9 not repeated. she was also an adult, 19 years old. and that's exactly what social media organisations would say, they are grown—ups. you can see where the grieving parents
8:27 am
are coming from. i keep referring to your students, how mindful are they of the influences and the influencers offering certain images on social media, how wise are they because it has been spoken about? i'm not entirely sure, i am well above their demographic, i like to think that working in a university keeps me eternally young but that's not the case. i think it's the same for us when we were young, we don't necessarily recognise the things that go on around us because they are such a normal part of life. i don't entirely know, to be honest. tell us about fly—tipping, anyone who gets out and about in the country will have seen stuff dumped, hardly anyone gets done for it. according to this report the argument is those that do don't end up argument is those that do don't end up paying a great deal in recompense, they don't have to pay for the clean—up of their problems. this is an article which essentially says as local councils are squeezed
8:28 am
and they put charges on fly—tipping, what you see is the rise of individuals fly—tipping their own items but of individuals who are setting up businesses to fly—tip illegally and that you will be, as a homeowner, partially liable for that, you need to be careful who you hire. can you do ten seconds on a hedgehog. he was bald when he was born, they have massaged him, he is back to hull. adorable. i wonder cannot help me? it could help my hair. what a cute little hedgehog. victoria, thank you. we're here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning, and coming up in the next hour... as britiain's most endangered species are identified for the first time, we'll hear about efforts to bring them back from the brink of extinction. and you will talk to us and we will
8:29 am
talk to you about getting into swimming later in life. john legend has been doing it. all that to come on the bbc news channel. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. here's a summary of this morning's main news. theresa may says she's still "determined" to deliver brexit on time, as she prepares to re—open negotiations in brussels this week. writing in the sunday telegraph, the prime minister says she'll "battle for britain" in the upcoming talks, and hopes to come back with "new ideas" on the issue of the irish border. but ireland's foreign minister, simon coveney, has insisted there are no credible alternatives available to the so—called backstop — the insurance policy designed to prevent the return of physical checks at the irish border. britain's car manufacturing industry is expected to be dealt a blow this week, when nissan announces it's cancelling a planned investment at its plant in sunderland. the company confirmed in 2016 that it would build a new version of its x—trail people carrier at the site, after receiving government assurances on the impact of brexit. it's understood executives will make an announcement to pull investment tomorrow. no immediate job losses
8:30 am
are expected at the site, where almost 7000 people work. an underwater search for the missing plane carrying footballer emiliano sala and his pilot is due to begin this morning. cardiff city's new signing disappeared with pilot david ibbotson over the english channel 13 days ago. two search ships — one privately—funded and one from the air accidents investigation branch — will use sonar to search an area of sea bed to the north of guernsey. victims of crime will be given new rights to challenge the release of violent offenders, under a review of the parole system. the change follows an outcry last year over the planned release of the so—called black—cab rapistjohn worboys. it will mean that victims will not have to go to court to contest parole board decisions. instead they will be able to apply to the department ofjustice with any objections. thousands of police officers and civilian staff in england and wales have not been vetted to national standards, the bbc has found. the new guidelines, designed to weed out rogue recruits, were introduced in 2006, but figures from 36 forces show almost 6000 staff have not had
8:31 am
the retrospective checks. the national police chiefs' council said it was working hard to bring that figure down. you can hear more on that story on 5live investigates this morning at 11am. hundreds of students have joined the search for libby squires, who went missing after a night out in hull on thursday. police have said they are "extremely concerned" for the 21—year—old. her family have said her disappearance was "very out of character". tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of venezuela in rival mass rallies. the head of the opposition, juan guaido, is being supported by countries including the uk and us in his efforts to force president maduro from power. the president also spoke at a rally in support of his leadership and the current government. european countries say they'll recognise the opposition leader if presidential elections aren't called by midnight tonight. customs officials in india have detained a passenger

after they found a month—old leopard cub hidden in his luggage. the cub was found when they heard noises coming from the man's bag. the animal appeared weak and in a state of shock and has been taken to a wildlife park to be cared for. authorities are investigating whether the man is part of an international smuggling ring. americans will eat 300 slices of pizza every second tonight. wide? it's the super bowl. the new england patriots and the la rams meet in atla nta. patriots and the la rams meet in atlanta. tom brady could become history by being the only person to win six super bowl titles. you will be talking about this, won't you?
8:33 am
yes, we will talk about the super bowl later. what a great start to the six nations this weekend, especially if you are an england fan. the standout performance was england beating ireland 32—20. fan. the standout performance was england beating ireland 32-20. do you think you could see a better game after watching wales versus france, you thought nothing could come close and then this. this was fantastic, a real statement from england in world cup year so they can england in world cup year so they ca n refle ct england in world cup year so they can reflect on our superb performance and that win against la st season's grand slam winners as well. it was ireland's first six nations defeat in dublin for six years. earlier scotland started their campaign with a 33—20 win over italy at murrayfield. our sports editor dan roan rounds up the action. with these two teams dominating recent six nations,
8:34 am
this promised to be an epic. grand slam winners and second in the world rankings, ireland were favourites, but it was england who started fastest. the game had barely begun whenjonny may scored his country's first try here for eight years to stun the home crowd. ireland responded, cian healy burrowing over after sustained pressure. but england were forcing their opponents into uncharacteristic mistakes. jacob stockdale's blunder pounced on by elliot daly. the lead, seven points at half—time. ireland aren't used to being bullied — this is a team who beat the mighty all blacks here in the autumn. but despite losing maro itoje to a serious injury, england's ruthlessness earned a famous win. first, may's clever kick through was gathered by henry slade, before the centre scored his second and the decisive try, seizing onjohnny sexton's desperate pass. ireland managed a late consolation, but this was england's day, their first win here for six years and by a margin few had predicted. ireland very rarely lose here and so, this is a hugely
8:35 am
significant result for england, and certainly, this team bears little resemblance to the one that finished fifth in last year's championship. in a world cup year, this is hugely encouraging for eddie jones' side. meanwhile, earlier at murrayfield, the fans were in good voice as scotland managed a winning start to their campaign against italy, blair kinghorn scoring the hosts' first championship hat—trick in 30 years — a result scotland will look to build on next week, when they welcome a bruised ireland. dan roan, bbc news, dublin. in the women's six nations france thrashed wales. caroline thomas scored a hat—trick as the defending champions ran in nine tries for a 52—3 victory. wales' only points came courtesy of a first half penalty. england's cricketers have slumped to another heavy defeat against the west indies in antigua, and with it have lost their three—match test series with a game still to play. england finished their second innings with a lead ofjust13 runs
8:36 am
after another batting collapse. the windies quickly completed a ten—wicket win, john campbell clearing the boundary to clinch the victory in style. cardiff city's players and fans paid tribute to emiliano sala yesterday. the game against bournemouth was their first at home since their new argentine signing went missing when his plane disappeared over the channel islands. both team's captains laid flowers on the pitch and fans created a mosaic in honour of the argentine striker who they had signed from french side nantes. bobby reid scored both of cardiff's goals in a 2—0 win and after the first he held up a t—shirt adorned with sala's image. emiliano was a super guy. i met him for a couple of months and itjust got hold of me after the final whistle, walking across to the fans at the far side. they were amazing. and you just start thinking about things and you just can't stop. it's a — it is an emotional time. it was great for the club to get the win today,
8:37 am
i'm pleased for the chairman, mehmet dalman, and ken choo, they have worked really hard and, you know, good to — i was proud of the club today. new loan signing gonzalo higuain and eden hazard both scored twice in chelsea's comfortable 5—0 victory over bottom side huddersfield. the win moved maurizio sarri's side back into the top four after their 4—0 defeat at bournemouth last week southampton were on course forjust their sixth league win of the season. nathan redmond put them ahead against burnley at turf moor. the home side salvaged a point thanks to ashley barnes‘ penalty deep into stoppage time. at the other end of the table tottenham moved above manchester city into second thanks to son heung—min's late strike and a little bit of help from the newcastle keeper martin dubravka. manchester city will reclaim that second spot if they get a point against arsenal later today. in the scottish premiership rangers beat st mirren 4—0, narrowing the gap on leaders celtic to three points. meanwhile, aberdeen moved into third place after coming from behind
8:38 am
to win at hibernian. gary mackay—steven fired them 2—1 in front before half—time and that's the way it stayed. celtic play stjohnstone today. tom daley‘s made his return to competitive diving — after a long break last year. he struggled with injuries and became a father. he and his new diving partner matty lee won gold at the british national cup — they've only been training together for four months. it was the first time daley had competed in front of his seven—month—old son, robbie. well done to tom. warrington wolves kicked off their super league season with a comprehensive 26—6 win over leeds rhinos. josh charnley scored the second of warrington's four tries, giving dave furner a rough start to life as rhinos head coach. leeds travel to champions wigan on friday, while warrington host hull kingston rovers on saturday. now, yesterday's match between everton and wolves had to be stopped because of an unusual pitch invasion. the game at goodison park was held up for several minutes.
8:39 am
the reason for the "paws" was this little pitch invader. sorry. they're meant to be good luck, right? try telling everton that. they lost 3—1 to wolves. that poor little pussy cat! but not little, really, quite a big one. the mayor of liverpool twittered that everton was a team of pussycats having their tummies tickled. you could blame the stewards for pussyfooting around. i can only apologise! one of the biggest events in the american sporting calendar, the super bowl, takes place in atlanta tonight. the los angeles rams will play the new england patriots, with more than 100 million people expected to watch on television. so what can they expect? let's speak to former nfl player shawne merriman. thank you forjoining us. give us a
8:40 am
sense of the anticipation, the new england patriots and tom brady aiming to make history, give us a sense of what is happening. there's so much build—up leading up to the biggest game of these guys lives speakers when the season starts there all 0—0, everyone wants a championship break and you have these training camps and injuries and workouts and tonight is your biggest night, you get to be crowned champion which as a kid you want to have one of these big shiny rings so only one team can win tonight. what's fascinating is the difference in age between the couch and quarterback combinations, i read that the new england patriots coach bill belichick won his first super
8:41 am
bowl when his opposite number was just one—year—old. will that difference be a factor? it well, the pair creates have more experience than any team in the nfl, they have been here so many times so they will not get rattled by the situations or have any uncharacteristic things that happen, penalties, you will not see them commit these kind of mistakes, on the other side you look at sean mcveigh, he is by young coach but very experienced, he has been a great leaderfor a long time and now he gets a chance to go against bill belichick, it will be a test match, can he keep up with experience, and if he can the rams could come out with a win but it's ha rd to could come out with a win but it's hard to go against the patriots beat is tom brady and bill belichick have been doing it longer than anyone
8:42 am
else. tom brady will be the only player to win six super bowl is but not all nfl fans want him to do that. i've had many battles with tom brady and played him in the play—offs, i've been sent home with losses against him, i have played in their home stadium and had another loss and these guys are so good at finishing games, they have so much experience in finishing games, people don't want to see them win, they have a lot of haters because they have a lot of haters because they have a lot of haters because they have won so many times and at this point people are ready to see another team win and you have a lot of people rooting for the rams. shawne, can you give us an idea of how big a deal this is in the united
8:43 am
states ? how big a deal this is in the united states? i was looking at facts about how people will be watching the game, £100 million worth of chicken wings eaten during the game and the biggest day of the year for pizza delivery, so how do you prepare to watch the game? one of the best things is having friends over and the two biggest foods will be pizza and wings which i will do it in the next few hours when i'm done talking about the game, because it's one of the best times of the year. the football season is so long, it's a gladiator sport, you have these guys on both sides of the ball going at each other and this show is the biggest show in america so that's why it will be the most fun time of the year if you are back super bowl fa ns the year if you are back super bowl fans but a guy like tom brady and
8:44 am
bill belichick going against this young team and the defence coordinator was one of my first coaches so it's the biggest show in the country and everyone will be watching. enjoy the wings and pizza, thank you, shawne. scientists have come together to try to bring britain's 20 most endangered species back from the brink of extinction. the project to find those most at risk began a year ago, and conservationists have already had some success. they've managed to reintroduce the previously extinct chequered skipper butterfly to an area of northamptonshire. now, there are hopes that other species, including the pine marten, can be saved. it's a gorgeous creature. let's now speak to the presenter and botanist dr trevor dines. that was previously extinct and that is wrong, previously feared extinct.
8:45 am
it was extinct from england so populations were brought from elsewhere in the uk. what has happened to put these animals on a list and say there is an effort to bring them back? this is an exciting collaborative project between conservation agencies so the rspb, the conservation trust, four years working independently and we realised the best way to work with people to collaborate so we're working on the dorset heats with the rspb and botanists are interested in bringing rare plants back from extinction but the work we do can also save other species like butterflies and lizards. we saw a picture of a pine marten, give us an idea of some of the creatures on
8:46 am
this list. i huge range of things from birds and butterflies, art showcase species is the ladybird spider which is another loss of species, at plant life we are working on marsh club moss which is one of our most ancient species, they were thriving, then dug up as coal, so when you are burning coal you are often burning the remains of the club moss but today they are tiny things and you have this site in dorset where around 80% has disappeared so we decided to bring this pc is back from the brink with a novel technique, because these histones used to be disturbed a lot like human activities, we have stepped back from them now, but we
8:47 am
drove a five tonne tractor over this colony of club moss, about 3000 pla nts colony of club moss, about 3000 plants on the heath beforehand and we had to open up that hubbard had so we took this tractor and drove up and down over it and are now 12,000 of these plants. so it's not always don't walk on the grass. conservation is about getting these dynamic processes back into the countryside. we have the wood lark, the sand lizard, the purbeck mason, how do you pick these? they have been selected by experts from conservation charities and a species over time will decline, the population might get fragmented across the landscape and you get
8:48 am
these tiny population is so small individuals, two or three plants in a population so we look at our knowledge of those species, can we get that work in place to bring them back and then looked to see them coming back? what is the timeline? it varies on species, we have introduced interrupted brome down in kent, arable fields, it was extinct in the wild but conservationists had brought it into gardens so we have taken seeds brought it into gardens so we have ta ken seeds and brought it into gardens so we have taken seeds and put them back into the wild and within two years we have 13,000 plants again. something like plants it can be quick but for other species it is longer and it's about putting processes in place to give plants and birds and insects a chance to come back. you are excited
8:49 am
about this, aren't you? i'm passionate about people getting involved so if you are close to a site look on our website and get involved, if not we are running a competition for photographers and film—makers to get out and show us pictures and get pictures of this wildlife. good luck with the project. any plants and wildlife in some parts of the country are buried under some snow at the moment but i guess that will go. yes, that will go over the next 24 hours with this frosty start but much milder weather is arriving, earlier on this morning, at 7am you can see the extent of subzero
8:50 am
temperatures but weather is coming out of the atlantic, wind and rain will sweep through later today and tonight but the week ahead looks u nsettled tonight but the week ahead looks unsettled at times as well. this is earlier, we saw rain moving into western scotland but later the weather will improve, that rain should pull away towards the east, to the south there will be spots of rain and cloud but the weather shouldn't be too bad, some sunshine and variable cloud, already a beautiful start to the day in manchester. tonight is all change, and other weather front moves through, sleet and snow across the scottish hills, elsewhere it will be rain but no frost and from last night it gets down to —13, now it's around one up to eight celsius, for
8:51 am
up around one up to eight celsius, for up while tomorrow morning we will have some rain but then that will pull away eastwards, maybe additional showers in north—east scotla nd additional showers in north—east scotland but otherwise fine, glasgow, manchester, belfast looking wine and double—figure temperatures, on tuesday we see one weather front moving away into scandinavia, another takes its place with yet more mild airand another takes its place with yet more mild air and at times some wind and rain, so here's the outlook through the week ahead, we are keeping double—figure temperatures, keeping double—figure temperatures, keeping unsettled weather, in the north some sunshine from time but as it stands we can say goodbye to winterfor now, it it stands we can say goodbye to winter for now, it looks like the first half of this month will stay relatively mild but after that i'm sure winter will return but at the
8:52 am
moment it will stay mild. the multi—talented singer—songwriter john legend has had a glittering career. aged 40, he's picked up an oscar, an emmy, a tony and ten grammys. but it turns out there's one award that he is missing — his bronze swimming certificate. but he's doing something about it, as we discovered this week. so it's never too late. we're joined now by swimming instructor meganjones, and by stewart fawcett, who had swimming lessons at 38. you had your swimming lesson before megan. is it ever too late? no, you can learn at any age as long as you have determination. why did you feel you wanted to learn? you are a mechanic, a tough sky. you wanted to learn? you are a mechanic, a tough skylj you wanted to learn? you are a mechanic, a tough sky. i had lived and unhealthy lifestyle for 30 years and unhealthy lifestyle for 30 years and swimming is one of the best
8:53 am
exercise is but i never learn. had you not had lessons at school? very briefly, i wasn't allowed in the school, i had a condition where you go intoa school, i had a condition where you go into a trance like state rather like a seizure, its non—convulsive epilepsy but they wouldn't let me in the water so the doctors said i was safe, i got my ten metre badge. that was a red braid back in my day.|j moved on to high school and that was the end of my swimming lessons. we had loads of people get in touch this morning. no, my battle axe of a swimming instructor thought it was a good teaching method to push my head under water when i wasn't looking, put paid to my swimming. people have
8:54 am
been talking about how you have to walk around with wet hair and it was cold and uncomfortable and i'm not a good swimmer because of that. most people have that moment when the younger when at not so nice teacher has pushed them in the pool and it creates fear, so once you are back in the water, most people are fine. putting your face in and trying to control breathing, that seems difficult. it's all techniques so as long as you focus on the reading and not the fact you are putting your head into water, most people are fine. how do you get somebody who is maybe afraid and hasn't swamped four yea rs, maybe afraid and hasn't swamped four years, how do you encourage them and turn them into a professional swimmer? first you find out their
8:55 am
motivation for wanting to do it because that makes everything breezier, always start by getting them in the water, walk them up and down and maybe splash your hand around first. you could do ten metres, you had your ten metre badge. that was from 28 years drier but i hadn't touched a pool since. how long was the process in terms of getting back in the water? right now, i have been lax in the last few months but i'm comfortable to get in the pool and do a few lengths now in a20 the pool and do a few lengths now in a 20 metre pool, within 15 minutes megan had me doing a hard length of three metre pool. on your front, front crawl? what she figured out with me was teaching me how to swim
8:56 am
was a case of breaking out down into 4or5 was a case of breaking out down into 4 or 5 little exercises and within 15 minutes i was doing half a length before i started overthinking and again it's the breathing, the rotation, it felt unnatural to exhale completely underwater and then rotate at 15, 20 minutes and i was on the path to getting a solid technique if not the most efficient. do you have many older pupils, megan? the average age of people i teachis megan? the average age of people i teach is about 46 so most people are over the age of 40 and i haven't people in their 70s and 805. over the age of 40 and i haven't people in their 70s and 80s. adel e—mails, my mother—in—law learned to swim at 69. this woman swims four days a week at 75. she swims at 47 and says everyone
8:57 am
can do it. debbie says i love water, i've been trying to learn to swim for a year at most programmes are aimed at children, i guess keep at it is the message? some people have different methods to teach and it's just finding that person to teach you. thank you. that's it from us. brea kfast thank you. that's it from us. breakfast is back tomorrow at 6am. thank you for watching, have a lovely sunday. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 9... theresa may says she has new ideas on brexit ahead of her return to brussels for talks on the irish backstop. a new search begins off guernsey today to find missing cardiff city footballer emiliano sala and his pilot. hundreds of students join police to search for libby squires,
