35—10 win over sale. also today, bath were beaten by clermont auvergne. there's more on the bbc sport website, including the women's super league. reeta. many thanks, karthi. tomorrow night, the duke and duchess of cambridge will be showing off their culinary skills for a festive bbc one show with mary berry. the special programme will see william and kate combine cooking with a tour of good causes they are supporting this christmas. our royal correspondent daniela relph has had a sneak preview. baking royalty meets real loyalty. but it was the duchess of cambridge who was a super fan here. she even confessed one of prince louis‘s first words was mary, due to the number of mary berry cookbooks around the royal kitchen. so do you do a bit of cooking with your children? yes. i really enjoy it. again, for them to be creative, for them to try and be as independent as possible with it.

actually, one of the last things we cooked together was your pizza dough. we made pizzas. did you? with your pizza dough recipe. did it work? it did work! they loved it. so you came here... the programme explores the royals' charity projects. william took mary berry to the passage homeless charity, a place he first visited with his mother around 30 years ago. he said princess diana brought her sons here to show them life beyond palace walls, something he is now trying to do with his own children. do you talk to your children about your thoughts and your views, and show them? will you bring them along here when they're a bit bigger? absolutely, and on the school run, i know it sounds a little bit contrived, but on the school run already, bearing in mind they're six and four, whenever we see anyone sleeping rough on the streets, i talk about it.

and i point it out, and i explain why. and they're all very interested, they're like, "why is that person...? why can't they go home?" on your marks, get set, go. there was of course a royal bake off, with william drafting in expert help while his wife revealed his cooking skills. he's very good at breakfast. university days, he used to cook all sorts of meals. i think that's when he was trying to impress me, mary! it is a christmas behind—the—scenes peek at their work and home life of this future king and queen. daniela relph, bbc news. a berry royal christmas is on bbc one tomorrow at 8.30pm. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. hello. once again showers and gusty winds and wintry over the higher ground. showers continue overnight and increasing ice risk and towards dawn as well. here's the big picture this evening as the showers develop more widly and it is through the central

area which is going to see a coating of snow. risks of ice in the north but not ruled out in the south. there are still gales across the west, slightly lighter winds further east and temperatures widly down into single figures if not below freezing as we start the new week. the new week to start on a chilly note, a lot of dry weather to begin with and temperatures rise through the week, and it is going to turn wet and windy more widly once again. back to the here and now, monday morning, we will see an ice risk just about anywhere. a few showers dotted around, most frequent during the day in western scotland into northern ireland, some hail and thunder. gusty winds towards the west, some morning showers across northern england and wales. it will still be a pretty chilly day, by and large. sunshine turns hazy across the south and you will notice rain getting towards the channel

islands as we finish the afternoon. into the evening and overnight rain will start to advance out of france. the question is how quickly it does so, from this weather front. that will be the big question into tuesday. if the rain arrives on monday evening then it should hopefully clear a little bit early as we head into tuesday but either way it will be a fairly cloudy and damp start. further north and west they could be some dense fog patches to start with, some breaks developing with sunny spells through the day but still a fairly chilly day, temperatures in single figures for many. a frosty and foggy start to wednesday but through the day, many northern and eastern areas stay dry and sunny but it will stay wet and windy in the west. the temperatures are starting to rise that bit even though eastern areas and are still around three or 4 degrees.

but wetter weather will move its way north, becoming more extensive through thursday and friday and we will see strengthening winds across the board too. hello. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: labour's leaders apologise for the party's crushing defeat in last week's general election. jeremy corbyn and the shadow chancellor take the blame. it's on me. let's take it on the chin.

i own this disaster, so i apologise, i apologise to all those wonderful labour mps who have lost their seats who worked so hard. the climate change talks in madrid end with a compromise agreement to toughen up carbon—cutting pledges before the next conference. and the england cricketeer ben stokes wins sports personality of the year. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the the political commentator and former head of press under david cameron giles kenningham, and the political writer and academic maya goodfellow. welcome. plenty of politics to get stuck into. little else. the metro has the headline "labour at each other‘s throats", referring to ousted mp caroline flint who is claiming emily thornberry called northern brexit voters stupid.

the daily brexit voters stupid. telegraph has the same story, the labour party is accused of supreme arrogance as voters get the blame for the historic defeat. the guardian again has the same story on labour and this picture of the sports personality of the year winner, cricket star ben stokes. and the daily mail lists borisjohnson's priorities for a government shakeup, border control, nhs and investment in the north, to ensure another decade of conservative rule. we will begin with the guardian and what is happening with labour. rival is poised as battle for labour's feature begins. a period of reflection, we were promised from mr corbyn but now jeremy reflection, we were promised from mr corbyn but nowjeremy corbyn is saying he wants it to be a swift replacement. they are going to have a new labour leader and by march. they need an acute period of reflection after what happened. seemingly a lot of the candidates touted for the top job do appear to

be corbyn supporters. rebecca long—bailey, the anointed one from jeremy corbyn and john mcdonnell. richard berghan, the shadowjustice secretary and other candidates like jess phillips and lisa nandy. if you go down the road of corbyn policy, they will be out of power for more yea rs. they will be out of power for more years. that manifesto has been roundly rejected by the electorate. it will be down to the members. lucy powell, the labour mp, said there needs to be no infighting, do not rush to judgment about what happened because if you look at some of the seats that were lost, it is complicated in different areas, what is happening, the collapse of the labour vote in some places, but in other places, the split of the remain vote which meant the tories one. she is saying, take some time to assess what is happen, do not throw everything out, we think about the climate crisis, the policies needed on that. it will be the

members, so we will all debate in interviews like this, at length within the next few months about who should be the next leader but what will happen is the mps that make it onto the ballot paper, it is not like the conservative party leadership contest, more the two will make it onto the ballot paper. they need the backing of a percentage of mps and then members will vote. it depends on the different candidates, however put himself forward, how they carve out their image to the party. it is difficult to see what will happen at this stage. the daily telegraph is talking about the labour were as stupid voters get the blame. this is a row between caroline flint lost her seat and emily thornberry. caroline flint saying that emily thornberry is said to caroline flint, my constituents would never be so stupid, implying that hers were. emily thornberry has said this is categorically untrue, so to some

extent there is a necessary infighting being splashed on the front pages of the newspapers. this is something that will rumble on for another few days and then disappear. in the meantime, we have the queen's speech being brought forward next week and we will get to find out what the conservatives, what boris johnson wants to make as his priorities, and they can get on with it without an effective opposition, without a leader that will take them forward. there is an absence of any effective opposition at the moment in british politics. what was noticeable during the campaign was the decline of the challenger parties like the liberal democrats and the brexit party, it was more presidential in the way it played out. the tories have a honeymoon period while labour is having an existential crisis to push through a radical agenda. i think you will see that. how likely is it they will agree a strategy before they agree the next leader of the labour party?

this is the concern for people within the labour party, to not have what has happened in past years, where it has been inward —looking, and letting the conservatives that the agenda saw the nec will probably and try to figure out how this is donein and try to figure out how this is done in an effective way so that does not happen because it is a risk. the daily mail, our blueprint for boris's britain. the nhs, investment in the north, the heart of the bid to govern for another decade. the idea of investing in parts of the country that have been left behind, boris johnson parts of the country that have been left behind, borisjohnson said it the day after the results came out, that he wants to reward the trust people have shown. if he wants to be a one nation tory he has to go to those parts of britain that lent him his vote. —— that lent their vote. he went up north yesterday. you will see big flagship projects like hs to come back on track. he will take ownership of the nhs which has

a lwa ys ownership of the nhs which has always been a labour issue but he thinks he can neutralise this by taking it on. it is complimentary. some of the labour party policies had resonance even though they did so had resonance even though they did so badly, but they will not be in charge. it is true to an extent that they push the agenda in certain ways, in terms of thinking about investment in places like the north—east, where i am from that has been historically underfunded, particularly child poverty levels. it is also interesting, the boris johnson plan, this potential idea of having a department of border and immigration, to deliver on his pledge to cut immigration numbers. what will be interesting in the coming months, they have talked about an australian point space style system, but the plans they have in no way resemble that. they have in no way resemble that. they have said a few things, but one of the things they seem to be saying is bringing eu migrants into a system that already exists for non—eu citizens, and i have spent the past few years working on immigration and one of the most concerning thing is

for migrants is how expensive the fees are and the difficulty navigating the system. lots of immigrants say it is hard to navigate the system. these bold words about creating a new department does not do a lot for the people who are struggling to navigate a difficult system. the conservatives have said they will reduce fees slightly for people who are health care professionals, but for everyone else, the fees are astronomically high. i will be watching to see what they do because the sound bite of an australian style points based system does not tally with what they have said. the daily express, boris wore with bbc over tv licence fees, a 2—pronged way in which the prime minister could clip the wings of the bbc. they are talking about ending criminal penalties for viewers who do not pay for the licence fee but also there is a view the bbc should be self funding like other big tv networks are. this was something which was floated during the

election. at times, there was an acrimonious relationship between the bbc and the government during the election. and channel 4? i have to say, channel 4 news basically became a campaigning outfit, any sense of objectivity was thrown out of the window. is that fair? i think it is. when the prime minister refused to turn upfora when the prime minister refused to turn up for a debate and they made an example of that. he also refused to talk to... an example of that. he also refused to talk to. .. let's look at channel 4 news, the main presenter, jon snow has said, let's have the tories and the public domain. he is not objective. the editor likes to its liking of the tories. they are well within their rights. coming back to under renewal, and points during the election, the media became too introspective, talking about themselves when they should be talking about policies. he did not turn up or subject himself to an interview that the other leaders did. in terms of this bbc story,

what is interesting is there was already a review in 2015, an independent review into the edge of the licence fee and it was said that to de—criminalise does not make sense, to de—criminalise does not make sense , so to de—criminalise does not make sense, so it is odd, given how re ce ntly sense, so it is odd, given how recently reviewers, that the conservatives are coming out, one of their priorities, it is to talk about this. they all speak at once they are putting pressure on the criminal justice system, they are putting pressure on the criminaljustice system, the money should be spent elsewhere. going back to that point, the under new interview was not coming up on the doorstep. it was not a big priority of voters. they all speak at once what is more important is that the media is examining the policies of the parties. if he had turned out perhaps andrew neil would have found out. let's finish with the daily telegraph. nonpolitical coverage.

and ashes hero won a sports personality of the year. obviously the cricket team have had an amazing year winning the world cup and u nfortu nately for year winning the world cup and unfortunately for the audience, gary lineker by mistake made the announcement in oui’ lineker by mistake made the announcement in our early calling him the main winner of the evening. i'm sure no one noticed. there were some great female contest is as well, dina asher—smith, katerina thompson. i think it was maybe a nice break for everyone to be thinking about this for the evening. for you to to be saying that it tells us something about how exhausting it has been. it is still a very busy week to come. that's it for the papers this hour. giles and maya will be back at half—past eleven for another look at the papers. next on bbc news, it's

click. this video game is one of the biggest crowdfunded projects ever. star citizen has raised nearly £200 million. that's a sizeable chunk of change. but then, it is a game with ambitions to build an entire universe to act as its users' playground. the problem is the game has been in development since 2012 and it's still nowhere near finished. so, what's going on? even with that mega budget, is this game just too ambitious? marc cieslak has been in search of the brains behind star citizen.

star citizen combines elements of a massively multi—player role—playing game, spaceship sim and first—person shooter, all in a vast, persistent universe. thanks, wendy! it has a large, loyalfan base. previously, we could not have done a planet like this before. cheering and applause. when i was a kid, i wanted to be an astronaut. i ended up being a dentist. i always used to fantasise with being a spaceman, and that's what star citizen is. coming up behind you. star citizen is important because it's a chris roberts game. chris roberts started out the wing commander franchise in the ‘90s. it's almost like he's the george lucas of space games. star citizen came around because chris roberts wanted to create the ultimate space sim that hadn't existed. he'd made wing commander and he wanted to make the biggest follow—up to that. but i don't want to build any old game. i want to build a universe.

i want to build a game i always wanted to build, but i didn't have the tools to do until now. so when people then saw it, they saw what he was selling, they saw what he wanted to create, they wanted to invest in that. and invest, they have — so far in excess of $250 million, with $37 million raised in the last year alone. all this for a game which is still in the testing phase and isn't a finished product. star citizen's crowdfunding began back in 2011, with development starting in 2012. since then, the team making the title, cloud imperium games, has grown to 500, with five studios in three different countries. one of which is here, in los angeles. this is an unusual title in the world of video games because even though the team here is busy still making the game, it is playable and being played by gamers at the moment. this game goes out

every three months. but it's, of course, it is very, very early alpha so, to a degree, they're having the exact same experience as somebody that would be working on a game as, like, a qa guy or even as a developer. but this is a game which, from its inception, has proved to be controversial. since the original kickstarter campaign, its scale has dramatically increased, becoming a much bigger game in the process. as the crowdfunding grew, so did the scope. what began as an ode to wing commander gradually grew into this giant persisting universe, and, you know, that's a very different product. as a result of changes to the game, earlier this year, roberts space industries, a subsidiary of cloud imperium, was taken to court by a backer seeking a refund of almost $4,500 — money he'd spent backing the game. a california judge dismissed the case without prejudice, due to a clause in the star citizen end user license agreement

which prevents anyone from taking roberts space industries to court for a refund. the games company says it does issue refunds within a 30—day window. this brings us to the issue that seems to have generated the most headlines for star citizen. ca-ching! money. $250 million sounds like a lot of money, but when you think the movie avatar cost $237 million to make, and most estimates put gta 5 costing $265 million to make, it's not a crazy amount of cash to put into a game. reports in the press have appeared, suggesting micromanagement of certain aspects of the game's development has contributed to star citizen's delays. we've spoken to several former employees at cloud imperium. all spoke positively of their time making the game, and although many admit that there have been delays, the sheer size of the project seems to be the main reason for its lengthy development time. from sunny southern california to grey, wintry manchester.

while development on the game continues, here in manchester, citizencon — which is a convention dedicated entirely to the video game — is kicking off. citizencon is where fans and backers of the game can meet each other, as well as the game's development teams. one of the aspects of the game which has attracted a lot of attention is the ships. there are a plethora of different ships in the game, big and small, that can be purchased with in—game currency, or backers can use real cash, which cloud imperium says goes towards further development. rumours are rife of some backers spending thousands on ships. most of the people i meet at citizencon have more modest budgets. how much money have you spent so far? it's only about $75—$100. probably invested about £250 into the game. maybe like £60 or something like that. there's always exceptions to the rule, though.

yep, that definitely doesn't look friendly! i've spent about $7,900 on the game. run! $7,900?! 7,900 us dollars, yeah. now, we should say that you are a streamer. iam. so this is yourjob — this is your living, isn't it? it is, yeah. we do these crazy battles, like 50 players going to war, sci—fi battles. like, that's what we do. what the...? someday send the back—up! it's here in the midst of citizencon that i catch up with roberts. applause. we last spoke in 2016. star citizen has been in development... that long ago! yeah! for quite some time. it's still being worked on. what's going on? well, i mean, we're trying to build a universe at, like, a level of detail that no—one's done before, and so it's taking, you know, longer than we were anticipating when we first announced it. there's an awful lot of online negativity around star citizen. why do you think that is? it's easy to be an armchair quarterback or an armchair developer. people aren't used or don't really know how much work goes into making these games. i mean, there's been some, you know,

stuff like red dead redemption 2 or — but, you know, that was seven—plus years. it takes time to build games of the sophistication and simulation detail that gamers expect now. i mightjust have a gig that i could use you for. so, what's new? the new planet technology we have, which is much, much, much higherfidelity. we've been working on dynamic weather. you're walking outside, it's like there is slosh on your visor, there'll be slosh on your canopy, the wind is pushing you around. the other really big thing that we'e showing — the first time we're going through a jump point, or a wormhole. basically, as we carry on, we'll be opening up more star systems. next year, we've been promised the release of squadron 42, the single—player campaign aspect of the game. but for now, development continues on the main star citizen experience. it seems this game's journey is far from over. that was star citizen marc. now, christmas is nearly here, which traditionally is the time when we all lay off the exercise

and pile on the food. not lara, though. she's not waiting until january to get fit. she's getting on the case now, with a little help from a friend. right. i've got my gym kit, i've got my trainers. now it's just time to meet the robot that i've got an appointment with. hello! yep, it's putting me through my paces on the treadmill. the idea here is that i am going to be trained by ai, with a spot of help from pepper here. this bristol robotics lab trial aims to teach a robot the empathy and motivational skill of a human personal trainer. ok, i'm not quite sure what it's got in store for me. think about getting ready to start running. speed up now and run for one minute. along with reacting to participants' heart rate data and facial expressions whilst they try to build up to running 5k, it considers personality type in its quest to perfect its patter.

that robot, to begin with, knows nothing. and then don, ourfitness instructor, he tells the robot, in real—time, "right, now it's time to have a joke" or "now it's time to sympathise" or "now it's time to challenge." and every time he does that, the robot learns from that example. so after a few sessions, the robot then starts suggesting things. the estimated speed of a t rex is 27 miles per hour. i can't go as fast as that! i had to write what kind of behaviours the ideal robotic personal trainer should have, yet still keeping that as simplistic as possible for the robot assist and coders to implement. it's quite unnerving when it leans forward. ifeel like i'm in trouble. the key human aspects in psychology go in to analysing what that client needs at a given time. ten people took part in the trial, some totally at ease with the concept. on the day of a session i would be thinking "ok,

well, pepper's standing there, waiting for me." kind of the longer you do this, the kind of — you get used to it a lot more. and probably if i was to run on a treadmill now, i'd be wondering "where's the robot?" they didn't just see it as a tool, as an object. it wasn't just a robot. each of them developed, i would say, a relationship. they would talk to it in different ways. the bot could be trained by different people, giving it different personalities and styles. but the general idea is that the gym of the future could be a very different place. nice work! well done for today! thank you. i hope to see you again soon! goodbye. give me five. oh, maybe not. ooh, denied! that was lara and pepper, and that's it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full—length version is available for you to watch right now on iplayer. next week, it's the click christmas special, which means tons of serious journalism and sensible clothing.

in the meantime, you can contact us social media. we live on facebook, youtube, instagram and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you for clickmas. hello, a risk of snow on the hills and again some icy conditions through tonight. showers developing more widely as we speak this evening becoming more widespread across england, wales, central and southern scotland. it is on the hills in the north that will most likely to see the covering of snow, a few centimetres here and there and quite a windy night was the west of scotland, north and northern ireland and the far south—west.

elsewhere, the breeze may ease a little bit, still a blustery night which will keep temperatures up in the far south—east but elsewhere anywhere from wales, midlands northwards the risk of some ice on surfaces, particularly across northern england and across scotland. that's where we see the bulk of the showers to begin the day, becoming fewer in number as we head into monday. they keep going in western scotland and northern ireland with some blustery winds, the snow is heavy with hail and thunder. even some longer spells of snow on the hills in the highlands later but away from that, much lighter through tomorrow compared to what we have seen today and as we head into evening, we finish with temperatures around 10 degrees in the south, for or five at best in the north.

this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:00: labour's leaders apologise for the party's crushing defeat in last week's general election — jeremy corbyn and the shadow chancellor take the blame. let's ta ke let's take it on the chin, i own this disaster so i apologise, i apologise not just this disaster so i apologise, i apologise notjust do all those wonderful labour mps who have lost their seats who have worked so hard... nicola sturgeon renews her call for a second referendum on scottish independence, saying the people of scotland mustn't be kept in the union against their will. the climate change talks in madrid end with a compromise agreement to toughen up carbon—cutting pledges before the next conference. a british man has been killed and his step—son wounded after being shot during a suspected robbery in buenos aires. the england cricketer ben stokes
