duke was seen driving on public roads near sandringham without a seatbelt. norfolk police said they had spoken to him about that. he also sent a letter to mrs fairweather saying sorry about his pa rt fairweather saying sorry about his part in the accident and said he had been dazzled by the low winter sun and was very contrite about the consequences. the police say they have now finished the arryn investigation into the accident and the file has been passed to the crown prosecution service. —— finished their investigation. the file will be reviewed carefully before a decision is made. they also said that duke's decision to surrender his licence will be taken into account. andy moore a bbc news. theresa may will attempt to head—off further turmoil over brexit this week, by urging parliament to give her more time to achieve changes to the plan to avoid a hard irish border. she's expected to promise mps that they'll be given another vote

on brexit, if she's unable to recommend a fresh deal by the end of the month. here's our political correspondent iain watson. recently there has been a lot of focus on what might happen if britain were to leave the european union without a deal but this week we are going to see much more focus on trying to get a deal even as the clock ticks down towards brexit day, march 29. so, the brexit secretary has been meeting michel barnier, the eu's chief negotiator this week that in addition, a whole range of government ministers including the foreign minister going to see their cou nterpa rts foreign minister going to see their counterparts over the next week. domestically, new efforts to win support for any devised deal by the prime minister. work on a new employment bill to entice some of the labour mps here at westminster to get behind her in due course. then there is a new front opening up because some of theresa may's own mps in her cabinet and other ministers have been saying look, if it looks like we are going to reach

the situation where we leave without a deal, we may resign and cross party backbench mps who want now to say that she should be delaying her departure from the eu. i have told the prime minister —— i am told the prime minister will come up with an offer for them. prime minister will come up with an offerfor them. i prime minister will come up with an offer for them. i am prime minister will come up with an offerfor them. i am also prime minister will come up with an offer for them. i am also told she cannot come back with a deal by 0'bree 27, there will be a whole new range of votes here at parliament __by range of votes here at parliament ——by february 27. at that stage and not before then, they could decide for example to press her to keep us inside the eu for longer in order to achieve a deal. police investigating the disappearance of the missing hull university student libby squire, have been given more time to question a man. 21—year—old libby hasn't been seen for over a week. the 2a year—old man, who was arrested on suspicion of abduction, will remain in custody until nine o'clock this evening. work has begun to enable the m20 motorway in kent to be turned

into a car park, in the event of possible disruption caused by a no—deal brexit. steel barriers are being installed that would allow traffic to keep moving in a contraflow system on one side of the motorway, while lorries would be parked up on the other. the road between ashford and maidstone will be closed overnight, until the work's completed in mid—march. the scientist who discovered the link between eating too much processed meat and bowel cancer has accused the government of not doing enough to encourage people to cut their consumption. the department of health says it's committed to ensuring that all food products are as safe as possible, as ben ando reports. the cancer risks in eating too much processed meat, like bacon and ham, were first exposed four years ago, but since then, says the man who discovered the link, nothing has been done to warn people or reduce consumption. professor denis corpet, who led the research,

has described the lack of action as a dereliction of duty by politicians in the uk and the eu. the danger is down to nitrites, chemicals that are used to help preserve the meat, which can be responsible for causing bowel cancer. nitrite to put into processed food to protect against bacteria and microbes that can cause food poisoning, which itself, of course, can be very dangerous. the food standards agency says it tries to get the balance right, between putting in nothing to be effective and not so much as to cause undue risk. so what and how much is safe? processed meats include sausages, bacon, ham, corned beef, and deli meats. nhs guidance says to eat no more than 70g a day — that's the equivalent of about two sausages or three thin slices of ham. cancer campaigners say there are other much more risky factors. we know the link between processed meat and cancer is not well—known, especially compared to link

with smoking, but it is putting it into context — that smoking is inherently much more risky when it comes to cancer. but with ham a staple of many school lunch boxes, professor corpet says parents in particular need to think about how much processed meat their children are eating. ben ando, bbc news. kurdish—led forces, backed by the united states, have launched a final push to defeat the islamic state group in syria. more than 20,000 civilians have been evacuated from land still held by i—s near to the iraqi border. here's our arab affairs editor sebastian usher. the us—backed sdf has played a key role in the war against is in syria. its biggest victory was to drive the jihadists out of their de facto capital, raqqa. in the past few months it's picked off one town, village, or hamlet after another

in the corner north—eastern of syria to which is fighters have been driven. all that's left for the jihadists there are a few square miles next to the iraqi border. a far cry from the caliphate the group once declared across huge swathes of syria and iraq. the sdf delayed its final attack until thousands of civilians in the area had been able to get out. now they say a decisive battle is under way. the united states military, our coalition partners, and the syrian democratic forces have liberated virtually all of the territory previously held by isis in syria and iraq. last week, president trump said the total defeat of is could be defeated within days. —— announced within days. that certainly suits his agenda of withdrawing all us troops from syria. but he's been criticised before for declaring final victory over is prematurely. caution is still needed. is holds another sliver of territory in syria further west. while its sleeper

cells remain active. and it's the same story in iraq. the group's ability to continue a guerrilla insurgency persists. the fate of his hostages, such as the british journalist john cantlie, remains unclear, as does that of its leader, abu bakr al—baghdadi. its most effective foe, the sdf, faces an uncertain future, if and when its us backers leave. sebastian usher, bbc news. company executives who mismanage their employees‘ pension scheme, could be jailed for up to seven years, under a new law being planned by the government. the proposals are intended to avoid a repeat of what happened when the retailer bhs collapsed. monika plaha has this report. bhs collapsed in 2016 with a huge hole in its pension fund. its boss sirfillip green had sold hole in its pension fund. its boss sir fillip green had sold the company for £1 a year earlier. the pensions regulator said he had done

that to avoid liability of a company's pension scheme. after much criticism from the public and those in parliament, he agreed to hand over 363 million to the fund. the government says it wants to avoid similar cases happening in the future. writing in today's sunday telegraph, the work and pensions secretary and run —— amber rudd said... plans for an offence to carry a maximum two—year couldn't —— prison sentence which were outlined last you are being extended after a consultation. the part —— the department for work and pensions said company executives who wilfully and recklessly mismanage pension funds could be sentenced at prison and face an unlimited fine. two people arrested in connection with a house fire in stafford which killed four children have been released on bail. the 2a year old woman and 28 year old man were arrested

on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. the children, aged between three and eight, died in the fire on tuesday. plans for a chelsea flower show garden co—designed by the duchess of cambridge have been unveiled. the garden aims to highlight the benefits that nature brings to mental and physical wellbeing. kensington palace said it will inspire families to get outside and explore nature together. quite looking forward to seeing that. lots of chelsea is quite well ordered, isn't it? it sounds like this garden might be a bit more wild. it looks lovely. good morning to you. it is sunday morning. do not vote to work. we will look at the papers. the weather in a second but lets look at the front pages. the 0bserver talking about, i haven't got my glasses, i might have to borrow yours. i think it's all

right. all right! they are talking about sack grayling. this is a story we have covered a bit about mental health services for children. they have a story about suicide of children as young as 12 having to wait two weeks for beds in national health units. in the sunday express, the main picture is you havejohn bercow leaving a curry house with ken clarke in what they are calling the brexit curry house plot. they have been out the tea together. who knows what they were talking about! they are saying the head teachers union has a plot for children who are going to walk out of class on tuesday over climate change will stop dating at is, they want strict

age limits. is placing a generation of children at risk of grooming and sexual input as mac explication. —— exploitation. it is the bathurst tonight. and also thejig of edinburgh it is the bathurst tonight. and also the jig of edinburgh wilfully giving up the jig of edinburgh wilfully giving up his driving licence. the telegraph has a splash on fillip green. they are talking about his firm, the missing evidence and the claims. —— fillip green. . the bosses who play fast with pensions could face up to seven years jail. philip green. there is another interview with the

woman in the car crash. he has given up woman in the car crash. he has given up his driving licence voluntarily at the age of 97 and she is saying a bit about the comment saying he/she feels safer now he is off the roads. we have talked about it off and on. —— saying how she feels. we will go through the various conversations began. we talk about the duke of edinburgh. a very different family to the ones we are talking about here but a lot of people have that situation with older relatives and they get the point where you know it is not right for them continue driving. it is difficult. a very, very, very difficult conversation. get in touch with us this morning. you can do it via twitter, facebook, e—mail. you can do it via twitter, facebook, e-mail. it has been a stormy few days that of the buy hope it is settling down. here is darren with a look at this morning's weather.

good morning, the weather will be settling down, not as windy yesterday. it will probably be cooler, there is still some rain around, mind you. some thick areas of cloud to keep an eye on, this one moving its way southwards heading into northern scotland and northern ireland. this area of cloud already producing some outbreaks of rain, even some snow over the scottish mountains. that wet weather turning more showery in wales and the south—west of england, persistent rain continuing to work its way south—eastern into east anglia. maybe continuing later but it does cloudy. at the same time a band of rain coming in to northern ireland, the potential for some very gusty winds in some rain in the far north of scotland. on the whole, the afternoon should write in most places, a bit of sunshine with temperatures low in most places, 17 01’ temperatures low in most places, 17 or18, temperatures low in most places, 17 or 18, not as windy but the potential for some strong winds to arrive across wales in the south of england during the first part of the night. you can see that rain and a bit of hill snow working its way southwards across the of england. that will break away during the end

of the night, clearer skies developing, temperatures very close to freezing and maybe a few icy patches around in the morning. the weather settling down, a ridge of high—pressure building on monday. some weather fronts will eventually have an impact towards the end of the day, more especially on tuesday. this is monday, though. chilly start with a touch of frost in places. some stronger winds down those north sea coast, the potentialfor a shower but on the whole looks like a dry day. some sunshine at times, some areas of cloud as well and those temperatures may be making double figures across south wales, southern england, elsewhere struggling around five or six in eastern parts of scotland. moving on to tuesday and we saw those weather fronts, and here they are, the cloud thickening up in pushing its way into scotland, northern ireland, across the walls of northern england, probably the best of the sunshine, in the south—east, and temperatures tend to 12 degrees on tuesday. so pretty mild and it looks

like we are going to see that weather front bringing the cloud and rain just petering out. weather front bringing the cloud and rainjust petering out. the weather front bringing the cloud and rain just petering out. the weather fronts than sticking to the west of the uk as we head towards the middle pa rt the uk as we head towards the middle part of next week. high pressure firmly in charge. the position of the high pressure is quite crucial, actually, sitting to the south—east of the uk, and that means we draw up winds from the south or south—west. that means it will be on the mild side as well. so this is really a summary of next week. with high pressure in charge, looks like there will be a lot of dry weather around. it will be on the breezy side but those winds from the south and south—west will draw in milder air. chilly overnight, not particularly significant frost problems and mild by day. i can't believe this, sally said to me next week will be a nice week for outdoor training. she will join my gang soon. as long as i can stay at home. you are not doing anything to sell it to me. now it's time for the film review, with mark kermode and ben brown. hello there and welcome

to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases, we have mark kermode. what have you got in store for us this week, mark? something for everyone. we have the lego movie 2, i know you're a huge lego movie fan. we have if beale street could talk, the new film by barryjenkins. and alita — battle angel, fantasy set in a dystopian future, is there any other kind? the question is, are you a huge lego movie fan? i am, the first lego movie i absolutely loved. lego batman i thought was great. by the time they got to the ninjago movie i thought they kind of ran out of steam. then along comes lego movie 2 to get things completely back on track and i fell in love again and i

laughed all the way through it. so, did you see the first one? ok, so the first pretty much entirely plays out in the imagination of a young boy who has this great big legoland that his father owns. anyway, this begins at the end of that film, his sister is allowed to come in and play which causes complete chaos. she comes from the sistar solar system and brings in duplo and suddenly this wonderful world is created, and this bricksburg, which is this huge fabulous place in which everything is awesome is turned into an apocalyptic dystopia which is now called apocalypseburg. meanwhile, people from the sistar system have come to kidnap batman to take him off to be involved in some weird wedding ritual but emmet still thinks that back in apocalypseburg everything can be awesome. i know you're following this, here's a clip. this is my vision of the future. tada! a house? come on! let me give you the tour! very first one on the cul—de—sac...

this is the living room, where you can live it up. tv room, dining room, planties room... whispers: kitty cat room. and out back, a double decker porch swing so we can always hang together! what do you think? it is going to attract aliens and get destroyed. ijust thought we could rebuild the future, make everything awesome again. sighs. emmet, you've gotta stop pretending everything is awesome, it isn't. every morning you walk through town singing that terrible, annoying manufactured pop song! that song really seems to upset you. no, it doesn't! the thing is, on the one hand it's got all the stuff i love from the first film, lots of really good jokes, it's visually really interesting, it's got excitement and action and all of that. what's really clever about it is this, this is basically a film which essentially plays out in the imagination of two separate characters — of the young boy and his younger sister. so therefore there is this collision of two worlds and the best thing about it is, if you imagine a really complex surrealist filmmaker making a film that's playing out in two separate imaginations,

you know, it would be impossible. you watch it in the lego movie, you just accept it completely. the two dimensions incidentally arejoined by the dimension of reality which is the house in which they live, in where there is a real mum. and i just thought was really clever and really smart. i started laughing at the very beginning, i laughed all the way through. there are callbacks to the first movie and lots of in jokes. but it's designed in such a way that i think a younger audience will laugh at the slapstick and laugh at the fact they like the characters but an older more cynical audience would just be impressed that they've managed to create a movie that does this thing about, you know, it exists in two— remember that thing that eddie izzard once said — "two languages in one brain? no—one can live at that speed!" and watching lego movie 2, i kind of understood what he meant. i really enjoyed it. something very different, if beale street could talk, from barryjenkins who made moonlight, of course, the oscar—winning moonlight, which was terrific. yeah, i thought moonlight was absolutely wonderful. this is adapted from the james baldwin novel and has been nominated for three academy awards — adapted screenplay, for supporting actress for regina king —

who i think is a dead certain — and for the music by nicholas britell. the story, which is set in ‘70s harlem, is, on the one hand you could see it as a story about oppression and unjust incarceration, about racial tension. but actually, it is a love story. it's a love story between these two characters, tish and fonny. fonny is in prison, tish is pregnant and it is about the way in which their relationship plays out against this backdrop of injustice. i think the real genius about barryjenkins' work is, like moonlight, he can take a story and by focusing on the specifics of, like in that case, the life of somebody growing up in poverty, amidst addiction and drugs, and somehow make that story universal by concentrating on the specifics. in the case of this, he gets all the period details right, he gets the details of the characters' struggles right, but it becomes completely universal. did you love moonlight? i did, i thought it was terrific actually, really good. and what's astonishing is that for a film that's that adventurous, for it to end up getting the oscar success that it did, finally, we now think of it as,

well, of course it's an oscar—winning film, but when it was first made, it was like a strange arthouse movie that i think everybody thought had only a niche audience. also, brilliant use of music, gorgeous cinematography, he has a way of slowing down time during these tender, very passionate moments, i mean, i thought it was wonderful. yeah, looking forward to seeing that one. alita — battle angel. this is based on a manga series. this first caughtjames cameron's eye, apparently, something like 20 years ago and i think originally he was going to make it. now he's producing and co—writing the script, directed by robert rodriguez. it's a dystopian future. this bereaved hunter warrior played by christoph waltz finds the head of a female cyborg and he takes it back to his laboratory and rebuilds her. he calls her alita which is a name which means something very special to him. it turns out she has combat reflexes and starts to remember her past in which it looks she was some kind of battle angel, particularly when she finds this

fantastically futuristic battle—ready body that she wants christoph waltz‘s character to give her to make her whole. here's a clip. this body, it has the power i need. i feel a connection to it, i can't explain. this could be who i am. you've been given a chance to start over with a clean slate. how many of us get that chance? why did an enemy warship respond to me? because i knew that ship! i've been on others like it, haven't i? haven't i? 0h, whatever you were, it's not who you are now. i'm a warrior, aren't i? her eyes really are extraordinary, aren't they? it's remarkable, isn't it, it's like a kind of cyborg movie as designed by margaret keane.

so what you've got there is rosa salazar and motion capture and now the fact you can do this with visual effects and combine physical performance with extraordinary visual effects. that character exists absolutely in a thing known in the industry as uncanny valley which is that thing between — is it animation, is it live action? and i think it's really well done. i think the character's well done and i think rose salazar brings a lot to the role. the film itself is somewhat all over the shop. cameron is perhaps not the greatest screenwriter in the world, although in the past he has written things like terminator and aliens. this has spectacle to spare. often the story gets kind of lost. it's in the same area as films like robocop and rollerball and ghost in the shell and akira and blade runner. so there are ideas that we've seen played elsewhere, many of which come from a similar melting pot. but i went in with fairly low expectations and although i think like it is narratively challenged, i thought it held together largely because i think rosa salazar‘s central performance was good enough to make you intrigued by that

central character and i was, as you were, watching, there is something fascinating about it. it's real but unreal at the same time and i thought that worked rather well. narratively challenged, does that mean not a great story? yes, kind of. so, best out? so burning which is this film i talked about last week, lee chang0dong's, it's a weird murder mystery in as much as the mystery is whether or not there has even been a murder. i mean, it may be a love story, it may be a murder mystery, it may be a social satire. it's such a bewildering, mesmerising movie, and ijust loved it and i don't pretend to understand it. 0k. best dvd? this is the latest version of a star is born, we've now had four incarnations, well, five if you count the predecessor. bradley cooper directing and starring, lady gaga as the trajectory kind of mirrors the trajectory.

i absolutely loved it. it's great, isn't it? the songs are really good and it works in the music world and i thought it was terrific. i thought he directed it really well. the live sequences, you think that really is a live rock band. raw action on stage. yeah, with proper mistakes and, you know, it's set in like a live sound to it, no, i thought it was really good. do you think it's been properly recognised ? it hasn't done that well on the oscar front. there was a weird thing which was when it first came out, everyone said, well, this is clearly going to win best picture and now as we get towards to oscars and everybody thinks that roma will win best picture, a star is born, its star has slightly waned. however, as we all know, awards are massively unpredictable. i thought it was really great. as somebody who actually — i liked the streisand version and thejudy garland version obviously definitive. i did think that this was, you know, and i went into it thinking ‘please don't be bad' and it wasn't, it was really good. 0k, we can't let you go without a word about albert finney who has very sadly

died at the age of 82. one of the great stars of stage and screen. and an extraordinary career. at one point, the face of british cinema. saturday night sunday morning, 0scar nominated for a huge variety of roles, going from things like tom jones, murder on the orient express, the dresser, erin brockovich from 2001. also great performances in things like tim burton's big fish which i think he got a golden globe nomination for. and of course a bafta fellowship which is a very high honour. it's also important to remember not just this extraordinary body of work in front of the camera but also people have been talking about his role behind the cover. i remember interviewing mike leigh said that bleak moments happened because albert finney was — the phrase he used was he was the magician behind it, he was the person who made that film happen. i think that thing about supporting rising talent as well is just as important as the stuff about being such an impressive actor on screen. definitely one of the greats. mark, thank you very much. that is it for this week.

thank you so much for watching. from both of us, goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and louise minchin. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. buckingham palace says the duke of edinburgh has voluntarily surrendered his driving licence. prince philip, who's 97, was recently involved in a crash with a car carrying two women and a baby. the crown prosecution service said it would take the development into account when deciding if any further action should be taken. theresa may will attempt to head—off further turmoil over brexit this week, by asking parliament to give her more time to achieve changes to the plan to avoid a hard irish border. she's expected to promise mps that they'll be given another vote on brexit, if she's unable to recommend a fresh deal by the end of the month. company executives who mismanage their employees' pension scheme, could be jailed for up to seven years, under a new law planned by the government. the proposals are intended to avoid a repeat of what happened when the retailer bhs collapsed.

sir philip green was accused of selling the company forjust £1, to avoid responsibility for the huge hole in its pensions fund. plans for the offence to carry a maximum two—year prison term, which were outlined last year, have been beefed up after a public consultation. work has begun to enable the m20 motorway in kent to be turned into a car park, in the event of possible disruption caused by a no—deal brexit. steel barriers are being installed that would allow traffic to keep moving in a contraflow system on one side of the motorway, while lorries would be parked up on the other. the road between ashford and maidstone will be closed overnight, until the work's completed in mid—march. the scientist who discovered the link between eating too much processed meat and bowel cancer has accused the government of not doing enough to encourage people to cut their consumption. professor denis corpet says unnecessary deaths are not being prevented. the department of health says it's committed to ensuring that all food products are as safe as possible.

kurdish—led forces, backed by the united states, have launched a final push to defeat the islamic state group in syria. more than 20,000 civilians have been evacuated from land still held by is near to the iraqi border. there's been reports of heavy fighting throughout the night. two people arrested in connection with a house fire in stafford which killed four children have been released on bail. the 24—year—old woman and 28 year old man were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. the children, aged between three and eight, died in the fire on tuesday. plans for a chelsea flower show garden co—designed by the duchess of cambridge have been unveiled. the garden aims to highlight the benefits that nature brings to mental and physical well—being. kensington palace said it will "inspire families to get outside and explore nature together". the metropolitan police

chief, cressida dick, has revealed that she can't smell cannabis. speaking on radio 4's desert island discs, the force's first female commissioner said her colleagues think it's hilarious that she is unable to pick up the scent of the drug. desert island discs, people do chat about some bizarre things. now we have all the sport. lots of people watching the rugby yesterday. have all the sport. lots of people watching the rugby yesterdaylj have all the sport. lots of people watching the rugby yesterday. i was. straight after shift. how very nice. that was wales, their coach saying they will be embarrassed by england. they have made lots of changes ——

like they made lots of changes, as teams do, against the italians. in this very place, charlie asked me who i thought would win between scotla nd who i thought would win between scotland and ireland and i told him scotla nd scotland and ireland and i told him scotland would win and i got it wrong, didn't i? two great games. wales are top of the six nations table after beating italy 26—15 in rome, that's a record equalling 11th test win a win a row. the champions ireland are up and running, three tries at murrayfield saw them beat scotland 22—13 james burford reports the unmistakable sound of six nations. ireland, set on igniting the defence of their crown. rugby at this level is about punishing your opponent ‘s' mistakes and that is

what ireland did so well on their way to the title last you, that's what they had to do here with conor murray let racing over. it wasn't long between —— before jacob stockdale added one on. clearly wanting to add onto his previous achievements. scotland said this was achievements. scotland said this was a turning point. commentator: sam johnson for scotland! determined not to let this one slip, the champions —— defending champions threw caution to the wind. ireland up and running but by no means perfect. 22 for 4496 but by no means perfect. 22 for 44% of the time and in their half 72% of the time. that was a massive defensive effort. we went to sleep little bit and we have got to be better than that. wales, meanwhile, we re better than that. wales, meanwhile, were in for scaring rome. italy had every intention of spoiling the party and were well on the way to doing so. but eventually the

wayside's quality told. warren gatlin could bet —— breathe a sigh of relief. pat yourselves on the back, you equalled a welsh record. you have got to enjoy that. international rugby, everything is not about being perfect. if they beat england in two weeks' time, wales will break a record that has stood for 109 years. until then, this is a moment to savour. two wins out of two for wales who know they must improve for their match against england in a fortnight. eddiejones' team play this afternoon at twickenham, france the visitors. england should be hight on confidence after that impressive start against the irish in dublin last weekend. captain 0wen farrell says they're prepared for anything france throw at them. they have massive pack that can make your defence tight so they can take

advantage and score tries in the corner. we know that they come alive with offloads and turnovers and a scrappy ball and things like that. all the teams seem to come to life and punish you. the main thing for us and punish you. the main thing for us is that we are at it for 18 minutes. ——80 minutes. that we are focused, but we are engaged and really ready for anything. lecce is way down south in the heel of italy, that's a long way to go if you are following wales in the women's six nations, especially when the match finished 3—3, 2 measly penalties, robyn wilkins gave wales a halftime lead. italy equalised in the second half and had this kick to win it in added time but it drifted wide. a draw does at least lift wales off the bottom of the table. it was an emotional afternoon at southampton where cardiff paid their respects

to striker emiliano sala. the argentinian who never got the chance to play for the club. it was cardiff's first match since his death was confirmed following a plane crash in the english channel. as for the game itself, a last minute kenneth zohore goal earned cardiff a 2—1win and that takes them out of the relegation zone. a fitting result then for the bluebirds manager who said they did it for sala. he was a fabulous lad, and merely a no. for them to come on and put in a performance like that. —— emiliano sala. liverpool are back on top of the premier league. manchester city will return there if they beat chelsea this afternoon. butjurgen klopp's side have their noses in front. that is after a much—needed 3—0 win over bournemouth at anfield. it could have been more. sadio mane gave them the lead before that delicious lob from georghino wijnaldum. mo salah scored their third early in the second half. after two staright draws they had slipped behind city on goal difference, but they are now three points clear, and will have a game in hand after city's match.

manchester united are into the champions league places for the first time since the opening day of the season. their remarkable unbeaten run under 0le gunnar solskaer continues. two paul pogba goals and a solo effort from anthony martial gave them a 3—0 win at fulham. elsewhere, palace drew against west ham. arsenal stay sixth but move to within three points of chelsea after a 2—1win at huddersfield. and it was an unhappy return to watford for former manager marco silva, as his everton side lost 1—0 at vicarage road. a third straight league defeat for everton, who had kurt zouma sent off after full—time. burnley won 3—1 at brighton. in the scottish cup, kilmarnock can thank their keeper for taking rangers to a fifth—round replay. daniel bachmann saved

james tavernier‘s penalty early in the first half at rugby park. it was goaless at full—time, and they will face each other again at ibrox in ten days' time for a place in the quarterfinals. it was the perfect week for great britain's fed cup team down in bath in their europe—africa zone event, and they have won the final against serbia. katie boulter and johanna konta again won both their singles rubbers. konta battled through fatigue to beat serbia's aleksandra krunic in three sets. it means that great britain are just one win away from reaching world group ii for the first time since 1993. the emotion and the exhaustion got to konta, who was happy to have won but said she felt terrible. england's batsmen finally showed some mettle in the final test against west indies in st lucia. the series is already lost and it looked like this could be heading the way of the others as keatonjennings, on his return to the side, once again failed

to impress on the first day. but an unbeaten century partnership from ben stokes and jos buttler helped england to 231—4. play resumes at 2:00pm. warrington wolves are top of super league after victory over hull kr, whilst catalans dragons picked up their first win of the campaign, coming from behind to beat huddersfield giants 27—10. northampton saints are just one win away from their first major trophy in five years. they are through to the rugby premiership cup final after beating the newcastle falcons 59—33. northampton actually trailed 21—0 at one stage, but scored nine tries to secure victory. saints will now play saracens in the final at the end of march. i wonder if theyjust failed to come out of the dressing room. the british indoor athletics championships continue this

afternoon. laura muir is the new 3,000 metre champion. it is longer than her normal distance. she smashed through the last 400 metres to take the title in eight minutes 48 seconds. melissa courtney took the silver and amy eloise—neale ran a lifetime best to take the bronze. just looking at it of stamina of the season. “— just looking at it of stamina of the season. —— building up. one of the greatest skiiers of all time, lindsey vonn, will race for one final time today as she competes in the downhill event at the world championships in sweden. with 82 world cup wins, the former olympic champion will falljust short of breaking the all—time record held by sweden's ingemar stenmark, who achieved 86. the former olympic champion, vonn, who crashed in super—g at the start of the championships, knows that it is time to hang up her skis.

i honestly didn't expect it. it felt like the right time. i felt honestly that i had been able to get this on record this season and things just haven't gone the way i'd hoped. and you can see the full interview with lindsey vonn on ski sunday on bbc two at 5:00pm tonight. as much as the british love a plate of fish and chips, many of us know that feeling when we've eaten just a bit too much. so what is the best portion size, that is not only tasty, but healthy? it is a question that scientists have been looking into, as megan patterson has been finding out. with salt and vinegar, source all mushy peas. fish and chips remains one of the countries favourite ta keaway one of the countries favourite takeaway is but having too much western market newcastle university

researchers have found an actor. we will looking at options to provide customers with the food they love. packaging plays a crucial role. we asked around and said hey, can you get a smaller portion and seeing their response. the standard box has 1600 calories and the smaller is 600. the boxes were made by henry colbeck and are now being used in more than 250 shops including this one. a lot of people don't like a big portion of food now. they throw it away, it's a waste. when people come with a smaller box, they enjoyed it. exactly what they wanted and came back for some more. some people might say it's just common sense, just have smaller portion. 0n a mac of course, you are totally

right but you give people a big portion of food, they will eat until they can't consume any more. --of course. if you have big bucket of popcorn, you will keep digging away. if you give them a small one, they will be perfectly happy. is it one of customers really want to have? will be perfectly happy. is it one of customers really want to have ?i share between my wife. if it was just you would you take it a smaller box? elena no, iwould still get just you would you take it a smaller box? elena no, i would still get a smallpox —— a big box will stop ——no. smallpox —— a big box will stop --no. at teatime, we will get one box and share. good news, mushy peas count. i love fish and chips. i always think when you get one of these giant pieces of cod, it is

healthy because it is fish. these giant pieces of cod, it is healthy because it is fishlj these giant pieces of cod, it is healthy because it is fish. i always share my chips with my dog. i bet you i know someone who likes fish and chips. is it sitting outside and eating fish and chips weather?” have been up 3:30 a.m., and all this talk about food is not helping at all. the weather is settling down, absolutely. get outside and enjoy it, as we have been talking about earlier on this morning. the storm we had yesterday which brought all the really damaging winds is out towards scandinavia now, so it is less windy today. still a bit of a breeze blowing but it will be a bit cooler as well, temperatures are lower and we have some cloud and rain around as well. this cloud is thinking down from the north, it has already brought a wet start across a good part of england and wales. it is generally dry for northern england but we've got the rain further south. it's generally going to turn more showery in wales and the south—west, the weather improving in the afternoon. the wet

weather slides its way towards twickenham in the south—east of england and east anglia. it will probably ease off in the afternoon that it stays cloudy, by which time we have a spell of rain moving into northern ireland and northern england. talking a lot about rain but you can be at 3pm a lot of places dry, a bit of sunshine but temperatures only seven degrees. chillier than it was yesterday. a bit of a wind blowing with this rain as it moves into wales and across southern england through the night, you can see that rain and wintry weather sinking its way southwards, tending to peter out. sky is clear, winds drop, temperatures drop, close to freezing with one or two icy patches around as well. the weather is coming down because high pressure is coming down because high pressure is tending to build in across the uk. there is that ridge of high—pressure on monday. there are some weather fronts for the time being, they will be kept away towards the atlantic. for monday it will be a cold start, a touch of frost around but light wind. there should be some sunshine around, areas of cloud developing through the day but a decent sort of day, watch quieter than we have had of late and a dry day than we are

seeing this weekend. those temperatures struggling to five or six degrees after a frosty start in eastern scotland and north east england, nine or ten for wales in southern england. this is tuesday and by then we have some sunshine and by then we have some sunshine and dry weather to begin with. a band of rain and patchy cloud sinking into the far north—west of england. some sunshine following and sunshine to the south—east, temperatures ten, 11 or 12 degrees. what we find is that weather front is going to weaken, and it is not going to make any further progress. the weather front sticking out towards the west of the uk, a long way off, and high pressure in charge of our weather. with high—pressure continuing to the south—east, we will have more of a southerly breeze blowing across the uk. that is good news, if the high pressure was in a different place it could be much colder but it looks like it will be pretty mild. that milder weather continuing into next week, especially by day. chillier overnight where the cloud breaks, but overall, with a lot of

high—pressure, it will be easy as well. that is definitely fish and chip weather, in my book. we will be back with the headlines at 7:00am. but first, it's time for click. we've been banging on about virtual reality for an age, and while it's failed to ignite the imagination of consumers — i mean, how many vr headsets do you own, for goodness sake? it has started to catch on in areas like simulation, training and healthca re. marc cieslak has been to sheffield to investigate. make sure it's tight. that's it, yep. keep your grip in your right hand. yes, got it!

so what i see, there's different types of games, and the game that i was playing was a bow and arrow one. and you have a bow in front of you, and you need to pick it up and get that arrow behind you and then just let it go, and it shoots and pops it. here at sheffield's children's hospital, they're trialling some surprising therapeutic technology. with certain kinds of injuries, exercise can be a vital part of the rehabilitation process, ultimately leading to the patient getting better sooner. the problem is getting children to perform these exercises isn't always easy. right back. ooh. most of our kids have quite a long—term condition that they need to carry on doing their exercises for sometimes several years. keep the tight grip on the right. yep. they're doing the same things day in, day out, it gets really boring, no—one wants to do it, sometimes it's painful, it's just not really fun, they want to be outside doing things with their friends.

which arm is the injury, the left or the right? making use of virtual reality, researchers from sheffield hallam university have developed a system that they think will make children more likely to perform rehabilitation exercises by disguising their treatment as play. this version of the project is for upper arm injuries, primarily. the injuries that are normally from burns or an accident that they had from a fall. remember to swap hands, that's it. remember to look up as well and see where you're at. so how did you hurt yourself? i burned myself with a cooker lighter. i scarred my arm and my belly. we arrived at the decision to make the two games the scenarios of climbing and archery based off talking to occupational therapists and the kind of movements they needed the patients to do. one of the motions that they need to do is a lot of reaching behind your back and kind of a lot of upper arm movements.

and so i thought, i wonder if archery would work. because there's a quiver behind your back. you do the same motion of reaching behind to grab the arrow and then you get the added bonus of pulling back the bowstring and then we looked at things like climbing, and we just thought that was a natural fit as well, because there was a lot of overhead motion, so you're really reaching out. the climbing. it feels... it feels realistic. while harry is being treated for burns, emily here has an entirely different issue. emily's got hereditary multiple exostosis. so it's like a hereditary disease that she's picked up from my husband and my husband's side of the family. so it means that she has extra bone growth. let's go for a higher one. well, it's really fun, because you're not seeing, like, stuff that you usually see every day, like you're seeing a whole new kind of world in it. if you have a big imagination, then it definitely makes it bigger.

it's kind of a bit more playing than exercising, even though you are still doing your exercises, like it's fun as well. do you need a break or anything like that? is your arm tired or...? no, it's fine. she didn't find it easy. whereas before she would have given things up very easily. but she wanted to keep going, she wanted to pop another balloon. yes, got it! and she wanted to reach that next thing. but she's just been an absolute trouper. she just has a smile on her face every day. so it kind of encourages me to be positive. there we go. no, i don't have an injury, but i'm going to give this vr setup a go and see what's it like when i put the headset on and what it feels and plays like. here we go. you can understand how, when the children are playing this, they get so wrapped up in the experience that they forget that this is actually helping them recover.

it's early days for this technology, but they hope it could have a wide variety of healthcare applications. looking at other aspects such as pain reduction for burns, and we're doing some work with amputees, learning how to use a prosthetic arm. so it's a lot of experience—based training. and we have a couple of other projects that we're currently just looking at around kind of stroke and chronic pain as well. but the final word goes to emily. she might be a fan of the vr, but i do wonder if she'll be pleased to get the external fixator on her arm removed. will you be pleased to get that off? yes. it's quite annoying. brilliant. that was marc cieslak in sheffield. now, this weekend is one of the biggest dates in the british movie calendar. the bafta film awards are taking place at london's royal albert hall. and what better way to celebrate

than by chatting to one of those nominated in the best visual effects category for their work on fantastic beasts: the crimes of grindelwald? i can't move against grindelwald. it has to be you. technically, you can dojust about anything these days. so i think more of ourjob, and what we're set with the challenge by bothjo rowling's scripts and by david yates is to creatively push the envelope and use the technology to aid that. we had some very specific things thatjo had written in the script, but we also had, like, newt's hospital, where it was maybe a few were more background creatures that we could go on some of the same journeys that we did with the case. but one of the key creatures was the zouwu, you know, it's fairly specifically written as like a chinese tiger—like creature. one of the animation artists built it and animated it and got it moving. and then, really, it was a voyage of discovery of working out how it

would move, how it would look, what its tail would be made of, et cetera, et cetera. in the script, it described it as it runs 1000 miles a day. tim and i were always like, "my god, wow, how are we going to describe that, how are we going to show that?" so we came up with the idea that maybe it could magically leap and bend time, distort space—time and land in a different space. so it could cover a large distance very quickly. you know, it's over a year's work just for that one moment in terms of concept and working out how on earth to do it. nagini. the moment has come to take our rightful place. nagini appearing when we read the script — we went, "oh my god, nagini's a woman in this film, not a snake." we had to come up with an authentic way to turn a woman into a long tube. you know, how would we do that to make it feel real? we came up with the idea that, really, maybe she's almost consumed by the snake, rather

than physically extending out. you'd have her being wrapped in her own coils, disappearing and then coming out as a snake. so we had a contortionist... claudia kim, who played nagini, we showed her what we were planning and she acted the first portion of the shot, but then we had another contortionist in who was dressed in a matching costume and she did the first portion of the shot, so it's for real — she bent over backwards and put her head through her own legs. got shot elements of claudia kim kind of pushing herself along the ground and turning her head up, matching kind of what we had done, which then was glued together with a full cg version of the human character and a full cg snake. so, again, all in all, that's about 14 months' worth of work for that one moment on film. i don't think you've seen a woman pull into a wall and turn

into a snake before. so it's reallyjust trying to how to get those moments over, but as i say, feeling as grounded and real as possible. we just wanted it to feel like what would happen if you were actually physically there watching that happen, rather than it feeling like an effect. that's what i think the technology gives us the ability to do now. the wizarding and non—wizarding worlds have been at peace for over a century. grindelwald wants to see that peace destroyed. fa ntastic stuff. and, of course, we wish all of the bafta nominees the very best of luck for the big night. next week we'll have more awards contenders for you, as we continue our deep dive into the world of visual effects. and before we go, for this week — this. it may not be as graceful as a figure skater or as fast as a speed skater, but unlike many people, this robot taught itself how to skate on ice. at the computational robotics lab at eth zurich,

professor stelian coros and his team developed a modular robot with 3d—printed parts. each leg can be built for any type of locomotion — from walking to rolling to ice skating — and each robot can have any number of legs. they then wrote algorithms that described the physics for each type of movement and terrain. the only thing we tell it is how one ice skate behaves on ice. in particular, the fact that it's free to move in the direction of the blade and it has high friction forces in the direction that is orthogonal to it. after this, the robot figures out entirely on its own how to move on ice. using this machine learning approach, different robots can learn to autonomously navigate any terrain. researchers hope this will lead to affordable, easy—to—design robots that can be used for search and rescue operations, to inspect dangerous sites, and even for deliveries to difficult to reach areas. i envisioned a moment in the not too distant future where it will be as easy to create robots

as it is to currently make structures out of lego blocks, for example. i think this is a really exciting motor skill that we would like robots to learn, not necessarily because it's useful, but rather because it combines so many different challenges into one beautiful performance. and that's it for the short cut of click for this week.
