uk shipping in the persian gulf, and the foreign secretary dominic raab is to travel to washington for talks later this week. greg mckenzie has this report. as britain ramps up its security in the middle east, donald trump has threatened to hit 52 iranian targets, should iran strike any american or us assets in retaliation for the killing of its revered general qasem soleimani, whose death the nation has vowed to avenge. the number 52 relates to the 52 american hostages who were taken after the embassy was seized in tehran in 1979 and they were held for 444 days. the president posted on twitter... he goes on to say...

trump added... the tweets came hours after at least four rockets were fired towards baghdad's heavily fortified green zone last night, where the us and british embassies sit. no one was injured. in response to the iranian threats of revenge, the us has sent 3,000 more troops to the middle east and advised its citizens to leave iraq. british warships have been ordered to escort merchant shipping in the persian gulf. the foreign secretary dominic raab has confirmed he will travel to washington on thursday to meet the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, but not before meeting his german and french counterparts in the week. downing street said

the prime minister, who is due to arrive back in the uk from his caribbean holiday today, would speak to other world leaders in the coming days. greg mckenzie, bbc news. we are going to take you live to iran. the body of qasem soleiman is reported to have been flown into the iranian city of ahvaz, where thousands of people are attending ceremonies to honour him. his funeral is due to take place on tuesday. we are getting reports the body was flown in just before dawn, their time this morning. many, many thousands of people out on the streets taking part in this procession. we believe the body is due to be flown tonight, to the next location and as roger said, his

funeral is on tuesday. we will continue to monitor those pictures during the course of the morning. the australian prime minister, scott morrison, has warned the country's bushfires crisis could last for months. he announced that a national agency will be set up to help affected communities recover. phil mercer is live in nowra for us this morning. we have been talking to you the last couple of mornings, can i sense a bit of rain with you there? yes, unbelievably it is raining. this is a contrast to condition yesterday that were fairly monstrous. very hot temperatures, very strong, gusty winds fuelling many fires here in south eastern australia. we are in kangaroo valley, about 100 miles south of sydney. 0n kangaroo valley, about 100 miles south of sydney. on saturday evening, flames tore through this region, vast areas of bushland have been destroyed. this is a very popular tourist place, not too far

from sydney. but it is almost deserted. the trucks, the cars on the vehicles we have seen on this road are largely emergency vehicles and fire engines. across new south wales and the rest of the fire zones in the state of victoria, these cooler conditions clearly helping the firefighting effort. but this sort of rain will help, but it will not extinguish the danger. in new south wales they are about 150 fires still burning. many still burn in the state of victoria. what we have seen throughout this horrible summer, this horrible bushfire season, summer, this horrible bushfire season, we summer, this horrible bushfire season, we have a spike in conditions, extreme or catastrophic conditions. then we have a bit of a lull but the danger hasn't gone. if the pattern continues we will have a low for a few days and then more extreme conditions. in the meantime, the firefighting effort is continuing. we have seen fire crews putting up spot fires near here as well. 0nce

putting up spot fires near here as well. once again, the prime minister of australia, scott morrison, has been questioned about his leadership of the crisis and he says he has not mishandled the emergency. 0ther critics to say he has been reacting far too slowly in terms of bringing the military in and in terms of giving the firefighting effort more water bombing helicopters, for example. as the fires continue to burn, so does the debate over his political leadership. the prime minister's leadership of this crisis, that debate rages as well. phil mercer, thank you very much in south wales —— new south wales for us. sir keir starmer has announced he's standing in the contest to become the next labour leader. the shadow brexit secretary is considered to be one of the front runners to replacejeremy corbyn and is the fifth candidate to declare. let's talk to our political correspondent tony bonsignore. tony, what's sir keir‘s pitch for thejob? good morning. the first pitch is

that sir keir starmer is saying labour cannot bury its head in the sun, it has to deal with its problems head—on. he said it needs to restore trust in the party. but then there is a further message in a newspaper article and a video campaign he has put out online in which he says, that labour must not lose sight of its values. keep to the radical policies of the past few yea rs. we the radical policies of the past few years. we are talking about a new deal to reform, social security and more union powers. what is interesting about that, for a lot of people, sir keir starmer is the more moderate candidate, the candidate who represents a shift back towards the centre. here he is appealing directly to supporters ofjeremy corbyn. i think it is all about the way this contest operates. we are about to get the details of that this week, he knows he needsjeremy corbyn‘s supporters on site if he is to become leader. what he doesn't mention is brexit and that could be

a problem. big supporter of a second referendum, he was a big remaining—macro supporter. he is in steve na g e, remaining—macro supporter. he is in stevenage, and 59%, stevenage voted to leave so he won't be able to avoid that question for too long. sir keir starmer is on the andrew marr programme this morning. the hs2 high—speed rail project could end up costing £108 billion — almost double the original estimate. that's according to the deputy chair of its review panel. lord berkeley, a vocal critic of the project, says there is "overwhelming evidence" that the costs of hs2 are "out of control" and its benefits overstated. the government says lord berkeley 5 report represents his own personal view. the m1 has been fully reopened after a crash in which two lorry drivers died. the southbound carriageway of the motorway near bedford was closed for 16 hours yesterday whilst police dealt with the incident.

the lorry drivers' next—of—kin have been informed. you are up—to—date with the main stories. let's return to our top story now. president trump has warned iran that the us has another 52 potential targets in its sights, should teheran retaliate for the killing of its general, qasem soleimani. iran has promised a harsh response, and said it would avenge the killing. we can speak now to michael pregent, a former us military intelligence officer, who joins us from washington. good morning to you. in your long experience in your previous job, what do you imagine will be going on now, when the decision was taken to kill qasem soleimani, what will be the next steps for the security services? it is to develop intelligence on what we call high—value targets. what is

interesting about this 52 target set, i think the language will be modified. take away the language of the present users targeting the sites, the targets could be individuals tied to the regime and military sides. this is specifically focused on the regime, the same regime that iran is protesting against. iran has promised revenge, what might it be? what i am hearing about is the british navy moving into the straight of hammers, iran has not been able to seize oil tankers. they have had to seize oil tankers. they have had to seize oil tankers that are part of their own

illegal oil smuggling network. that is how bad it is for them. this is 2020, we have advanced technology, real—time audio and video that we can show the international community, the un security council that iran is conducting terrorist attacks. there's something in place to negate those attacks and also them when they happen. if you look at the rocket attacks in iraq, they are not affected because the us now has the military green light, basically somebody setting up a rocket system, you can engage it 110w. rocket system, you can engage it now. we have concerns about what happens in about six to ten hours from now when the iraqi council representatives, pressured by a militia tied to a rant that controlled the biggest voting bloc in the council of representatives, votes to exit the united states and

members of a terrorist organisation has already warned iraqi security forces to get away from american bases. the iraqi army will uphold this commitment to protect embassies from foreign countries and protect the united states. the intelligence, i don't know the specific intelligence, what was going to happen, but we did have indicators there was going to be a coup by qasem soleimani in baghdad and he wa nted qasem soleimani in baghdad and he wanted to do a 1979 moment, seizing the american embassy and taking hostages, just like in 1979. hence donald trump's 52 sites because of the 52 hostages taken. i want you to be aware we are getting live pictures coming in from iran. thousands of people on the street as pa rt thousands of people on the street as part of this funeral procession. we are talking about the political mood, but how dangerous is the mood

among the people of iran, how closely will that be being monitored at the moment? there is a relationship that qasem soleimani had with the reigning people, that inside the country he was not viewed asa inside the country he was not viewed as a bad man. he refused to be part of killing protester. he wanted to distance from the siege. that is what the supreme leaders uses to kill iranians. because of the propaganda, he is viewed as some sort of hero. he wasn't designated for what he did inside iraq, it was for what he did inside iraq, it was for what he did inside iraq, it was for what he did outside. i do believe there is some sincerity in the morning from qasem soleimani, but not from the people from other places. that is where he said do

what we did in messing the cities of. he said turn of the internet and kill protesters. that is what qasem soleimani did in baghdad in october when he told the prime minister of iraq, suppose it alli of united states, go and sit in that chair over there while i tell my generals and my militias how to kill innocent civilians. turn off the internet like we do in iran and kill protesters. thank you for your insight this morning. we have been showing you live pictures from iran from the funeral procession from qasem soleimani, which is ongoing. here's phil with a look at this morning's weather. i was talking about a lot of cloud yesterday, so here we go again.

little bit breezy perhaps across western areas. a lot of dry weather around. the cloud not particularly thick and that is why with a bit of help from some high ground when you get to the northern and eastern parts of wales, the eastern side of the pennines, there is a chance the sun will peep through. but where you keep a lot of cloud, i think you will have the odd spot of rain. it is not overly cold this afternoon, a bit more southerly in the breeze. many more will be getting into low double figures, ten, 11, 12. the front that was around yesterday is still there, bit of a nuisance around the north—west and quarter of scotland. it remains in place for a good part of the night, into the mainland of the western isles for a time. with a lot of cloud around it will be a mild night and you get one 01’ will be a mild night and you get one or two gaps towards the east and then you could be down to 304. the monday forecast of interest, because

a lot more people going back to work for the first time after christmas and the new year. don't get caught out across western areas, it may be a dry start to your day, but we do have a weather front which will eventually spread quite a bit of rain and some pretty strong winds as well into many of these western areas. it does drift east for a time and it doesn't get into the far eastern court until after dark probably. things to brighten up across the west behind the weather front. monday, fairly windy and then a lull in proceedings of the night where it gets drier and then look at this, look at the number of isobars we are cramming into this chart for tuesday. it will be a bit of a humdinger of a day. certainly a lot of rain to come and rain down in the south—eastern quarter but that goes away. scotland, northern ireland and look at the gusts, even a long way south, top end of wales could be looking at 50 mph. gusts and exposure around the hills and coast

of scotland, 75, possibly 80 miles an hour. it is coming from a mild direction, january, yes, temperatures, double figures all round. because of the nature of the terrain in the north—east of scotla nd terrain in the north—east of scotland b could be looking at 15 or 16 degrees. but that weekend starts with rain and gales. very mild to start with and it turns drier, thankfully, as we get on through the week. back to roger and sally. we will be back with you in half an hourfor more of we will be back with you in half an hour for more of the same. he has been saying tuesday is going to be tricky for a while. we'll be back with the headlines at 6.30. now on breakfast it's time for the film review with ben brown and james king. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news.

taking us through this week's cinema releases, we have james king. james, a warm welcome and happy new year. you too! talk us through what we've got. well, we've got scarlettjohansson heading to germany injojo rabbit. matthew mcconaughey goes to london in the gentlemen. and aaron eckhart doesn't really know where he's going in in the line of duty. not to be confused with the tv series, the line of duty! very much not to be confused with the tv series! anyway, let's start off with jojo rabbit. this sounds intriguing. it's sort of a comedy drama. a ten—year—old hitler youth member who begins to question the ideology of nazism? yes, taika waititi is the name of the film—maker, who has had a lot of success in the marvel world, but also with low—budget kiwi

comedies as well — things like hunt for the wilderpeople and what we do in the shadows — which, of course, is also a tv show. and, yes, so set in second world war in germany, aboutjohannes — jojo, of the title — who is so obsessed, such a hero — such a hero—worshipper of adolf hitler that he actually imagines him as a friend. so you've got taika waititi playing an imaginary adult hitler. shall we take a look at a clip? yeah, why not? here it is. poorjojo! what's wrong, little man? hi, adolf. want to tell me about that rabbit incident? what was all that about? they wanted me to kill it. i'm sorry, i couldn't. don't worry about it. i couldn't care less! but now they call me a scared rabbit. let them say whatever they want. people used to say a lot of nasty things about me. "oh, this guy's a lunatic." "oh, look at that psycho, he's going to get us all killed." i'm going to let you in on a little secret. the rabbit is no coward. the humble little bunny faces a dangerous world every day, hunting carrots for his family, for his country. my empire will be

full of all animals. lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinoceroses, octopuses, rhin—octopusses — even the mighty rabbit. what do you make of it, james? it's sort of had mixed reviews. oh, really... it seems like one of those films that people either love or hate. yeah, really mixed reviews. i've read 5—star reviews, i've read one—star reviews. what are you gonna give it? i was more on the 5—star side. it's not so much what it's saying — you know, what it's saying, i've seen before — but it's the way that it's saying it. i think it's showing war through the eyes of a child, through the eyes of someone who doesn't really understand the magnitude of what's going on, doesn't understand the context of what's going on. and that is what gives it its novelty, really. i'll tell you who has really liked it — i think this is very interesting — mel brooks, the legendary director, has sung this film's praises. and there are definitely elements of mel brooks in, certainly, the first half of the film —

the broad comedy and the farce. it does get more serious as the film goes on. it becomes much more touching, actually — much more like a wes anderson film, really. but it, yes, it is one of those comedies where you either go with it or you don't. there isn't really a middle ground. and i think that is why there are those divisive reviews. and it's quite hard to pull off kind of comedy about nazism, isn't it? yeah, absolutely. well, mel brooks has done it in the past. but i think the lead actor who plays the title character — a young actor named roman griffin davis — does a wonderfuljob. he is getting a lot of great mentions for this because he is particularly good. but the supporting cast as well — sam rockwell, scarlett joha nsson, i mentioned earlier, stephen merchant. so for me, it works, but i appreciate that it's not going to work for everyone. ok, let's go on to the gentlemen. guy ritchie — famous of course for lock, stock and two smoking barrels, snatch and so on. this is back to the kind of gangster underworld ? it is very much going back to that. it's is it 2020 or 2002,

watching this film? it's guy ritchie going back to his roots, guy ritchie going back to geezer movies and gangster movies. in fact, the opening scene of this films is matthew mcconaughey going into a london pub and ordering a pint and a pickled egg. it is guy ritchie to the nth degree! the actual plot is about hugh grant's character who is a tabloid hack who is trying to blackmail matthew mcconaughey, who is a crime boss. of course, there is lots of bribery and corruption along the way. a lot of alpha males in this movie, a lot of swearing in this movie, a completely colourful — a completely bonkers script. it doesn't entirely add up to much. but what i would say is first of all, a lot of energy to it — and you expect that with guy ritchie films. the music, the editing. it's very well—paced. secondly, hugh grant is having a whale of a time in this. we know that he is not the biggest fan of tabloid journalism. this seems to be him getting a bit of revenge for that. he's got this amazing — he sounds a bit like peter cook, actually — he's got this amazing accent in it. so, a bit silly, a bit pointless, but not dull. yeah, i've got to say i am not a fan of guy ritchie films, but i do love hugh grant

and matthew mcconaughey, i think, are both brilliant actors. yes. and matthew mcconaughey, you know, he is doing his matthew mcconaughey thing. he's doing his laid—back, cool guy thing. but he's great at that. so the cast is what makes it. yeah, all right. let's go on to in the line of duty, not the line of duty. what did you make of this? um, yeah, it's interesting, this one because it's a thriller starring aaron eckhart. he plays a police officer who accidentally ruins a kidnap — an anti—kidnap operation and is desperate to prove himself by finding the hostage, desperate to make up for things. and when you cast aaron eckhart in a movie, you expect a certain intensity because he is a very respected actor. this actually is more of a straight—to—dvd movie, u nfortu nately! there is, however, one very good chase scene in it, which i think we're gonna have a look at now. wow. so here's the best bit of the film. chuckles. dispatch two, 0—39 in pursuit southbound on 14th. two up in 44. suspectjust ran into st anthony's. dramatic music.

glass smashes. car alarm beeps. thanks, padre! and that's the best bit of the film? laughter. well, the chase scene is about ten minutes long, it's quite near the start of the film, and it is actually really impressive. and the film starts off, you think "ok, this has got a bit of depth to it" but it is what happens after that is the problem, is that it never really follows through on that early promise. the director is someone who has made a lot of straight—to—dvd, straight—to—streaming action movies. and unfortunately, despite the credibility of an actor like aaron eckhart, this does just descend into being another one of those average action films. right. it's not going to take off in the cinemas then? um, it will be at cinemas, but i think ultimately, it's more of a film to watch at home. yeah. what's wrong with it, do you think? i think it's just pedestrian, that is the problem. chuckles.

it's that ultimately, it, you know, it starts off saying something, it starts off quite positively, but can't quite follow through on that. and that's just a lack of ambition, really. so that ultimately is the problem with it. you sometimes wonder how these films ever get off the drawing board, don't you? well, i wonder that all the time! yeah, i wonder that all the time! you sort of thing "when they see the script, do they not realise it's a turkey?" anyway. ok, let's go on to best 0ut this week. what have you got there? this is very much the opposite of a turkey. this is absolutely brilliant. this is little women. so, it came out on boxing day. really pleased to see that a lot of people went to see it over the holidays. of course, the classic coming—of—age story. the wonderful greta gerwig has adapted it, starring the equally wonderful saoirse ronan asjo march, one of the many march sisters in massachusetts in civil war america. and just a really fresh take on the story. it is quite difficult to mess up the story because it is a classic, but there are a couple of, i think, new twists to this. i like the way that this is structured, this film, the way that it is told through a lot of flashbacks, so it really does flag up the nostalgia these girls have

for their childhood and for their adolescent years. and also, just some really strong female roles that perhaps were not in the original story, butjo march, for example, is a real pioneer in this film, doing what she wants to do, being the person that she wants to be at a time when women weren't always allowed to do that. so wonderful performances. for me, it's all about florence pugh, the british actor, she — who's had a great year. 2019 was a great year for her. she plays amy in this. and if you're in a movie with meryl streep and yet, you still steal scenes, that's saying something. better than meryl streep, is that what you are saying? exactly, yeah. i think — i think florence pugh — it's just been her birthday, actually, so belated birthday wishes to florence pugh. i think she actually walks away with this film. you say a fresh take because, of course, some people will say "there have seen so many adaptations of little women in film and tv". yeah, absolutely, but what greta gerwig is done is taken a classic story but found a new way into it and a new way to tell it, and a new wayjust to highlight things. i mean, it's not a movie about feminism, but there is certainly more of a feminist slant to it than perhaps other adaptations. so it feels modern, it feels fresh.

a sort of film for the #metoo era, in some ways, do you think? to a certain degree, yes, to a certain degree. yeah, all right. and finally, we've got best dvd. yeah, a million little pieces — this is out to watch at home — so based on another book, actually — this is james frey‘s book from 2003 about his time in rehab. sam taylor—johnson is the director. her husband aaron taylor—johnson stars in it. they both wrote and produced it — very much a passion project for them. so, sam's last film was 50 shades of grey — big hit movie, but she has sort of suggested it wasn't the greatest time, professionally, for her working on that film. this feels like a reaction to that. this feels like her saying, "actually, i can make really intense, personal character studies" because that is what it is. and aaron taylor—johnson, as someone in rehab, as someone with addiction problems, gives this remarkable warts—and—all performance. it really is bruised and battered throughout. so a tough watch but, because of the performances in it, that's why it is impressive. james, great to have you with us. thank you so much.

thank you. james king there. and that is it for this week. from both of us, thank you so much for watching. goodbye.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and rogerjohnson. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. donald trump has warned that 52 sites in iran will be hit "very hard" if tehran retaliates over the death of its senior military commander, qasem soleimani. the president's tweets followed an announcement that the british government has deployed two royal navy warships to escort british shipping in the persian gulf. the foreign secretary dominic raab is due to travel to washington for talks next week. meanwhile the general‘s body has arrived in iran ahead of his burial on tuesday. tens of thousands of mourners, dressed in black, turned out onto the streets in the city of ahvaz, in the south—west where a three—day funeral procession is now underway. let's have a look now at the scene in the iranian city

of ahvaz, where thousands of people have gathered. as roger said, the funeral procession are now gathering pace, started yesterday. this will take place here. we have seen the mourners ci’oss over the place here. we have seen the mourners cross over the straits there and tonight they will move onto the next location, to tehran university, heading towards the funeral ceremony on tuesday. we will follow those pictures during the morning. at least 24 people are now known to have been killed by australia's ongoing bushfire crisis — which the country's prime minister, scott morrison, has warned could last for months. a man died in the state of new south wales trying to save a friend's home. speaking at a press conference in the last few hours, mr morrison hinted that the worst is yet to come in some parts of the country, particularly the southern states. the fires are not over. the crisis is not over. there are months to go.

particularly in the southern states, and speaking to the premiere in tasmania and in victoria, the more difficult season usually come later, injanuary and difficult season usually come later, in january and february. difficult season usually come later, injanuary and february. we are still a long way to go and sadly there will still be more cost that will be incurred. sir keir starmer is the latest candidate to announce that he's standing in the labour leadership contest. writing in the sunday mirror, the shadow brexit secretary says the party needs to "rebuild fast" to restore trust. he's the fifth person to put themselves forward after lisa nandy, emily thornberry, clive lewis and jess phillips. the m1 has been fully reopened after a crash in which two lorry drivers died. the southbound carriageway of the motorway near bedford was closed for 16 hours yesterday whilst police dealt with the incident. the lorry drivers' next—of—kin have been informed. the hs2 high—speed rail project could end up costing £108 billion —

almost double the original estimate — that's according to the deputy chair of its review panel. lord berkeley — a vocal critic of the project — says there is "overwhelming evidence" that the costs of hs2 are "out of control" and its benefits overstated. the government says lord berkeley 5 report represents his own personal view. the 77th annual golden globes ceremony will take place this evening in los angeles, as the hollywood awards season gets under way. the nominations received some criticism due to the lack of any women, again, in the best director category. comedian ricky gervais will be making a comeback as host, which could make for some memorable moments. 0ur los angeles correspondent sophie long reports. it's that time of year again where stars align and sparkle on red carpets, and young british actors get a taste of tinseltown. they don't come much younger than roman griffin davis. he's been nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy for his part in the heartbreakingly funnyjojo

rabbit. not bad for someone who's only 12. he's up against fellow brit taron egerton for his portrayal of eltonjohn in rocketman. i'm constantly rubbing shoulders with people that, you know, ten years ago i would have paid to meet! and, you know, i'm just really thrilled to be a part of this thing. it looks like it'll be a good year for the streaming giant netflix — it's behind three of the five films nominated for best motion picture drama. also nominated is 1917 — the first world war epic that follows the incredible journey of two young soldiers. it's a wonderful thing when you have... the process of making the film was so special to us, so when that aligns with the way it's been received, that's really lovely. i think he has a little speech. i have a little speech that's building here. when it comes to the smaller screen, there could be more honours for the adored boundary—breaking flea bag. i cannot believe we're here. i mean, a year ago,

we were previewing at the bfi and now we're stood at the golden globes. yeah, i'm blown away. with no clear frontrunner set to sweep the board, it's likely there'll be a few memorable moments ahead. the golden globes are notoriously difficult to predict. the only real certainty is that champagne will flow — and probably a few tears, too. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. we will be looking forward to the golden globes later in the programme. very exciting. it is, i love it when award season starts. we will find out who won tomorrow. lets get the sport. this is rochdale. 40 years old, still doing it. he played before the 1998 world cup but 22 years as a footballer. that is really impressive. this weekend always throws up interesting

stories. the third round of the fa cup always provides great stories and 40 year—old aaron wilbraham gave us one of the best yesterday — he scored rochdale's equaliser, to take newcastle to a third—round replay. and as alex gulrajani reports, that wasn't the only comeback of the day. commentator: first time. wilbraham! at 40 years old, aaron wilbraham might have thought the days of scoring against a premier league side were behind him. but he did just that. steve bruce, a cup winner in his playing days, brought newcastle to rochdale, two divisions beneath them. 0nly victory on their minds, especially when mickael amarone, a £21 million striker, gave them the lead. but the boys from the big league couldn't finish their lowly opponents. wilbraham snatching a draw which earned his side a money—spinning replay at newcastle's st james's park. looking forward to it and went there with bristol city, actually, and scored a few years ago. so i'll be looking to do the same again, hopefully.

it was a similar story at vicarage road where watford threw away a three—goal lead at home to tranmere. 46 league places between two divisions separate these two and no—one could have predicted this comeback. two goals in 15 minutes reduced the gap to just one and with time running out, tranmere were awarded a penalty. paul mullin, the hero. it's a special moment against a premier league side to get the replay and get them back to prenton park on a tuesday or wednesday night. watford are a great side, but if we do what we did today, the second half mentality right and go toe to toe with them and see where it takes us. what that result meant to tranmere's players and fans is clear. the fa cup adventure well and truly still alive for them and rochdale. alex gulrajani, bbc news. so, two premier league sides still in the cup by the skin of their teeth, but two were knocked out by championship opposition. brighton lost to sheffield wednesday and aston villa were beaten by an absolute cracker from harry arter, giving fulham a 2—1victory at craven cottage.

there are more chances for upsets today among the fixtures. non—league side afc fylde are away to sheffield united. fylde are the lowest—ranked team left in the cup — they earned their place in round three with victory over kingstonian — and they freely admit this is the biggest match in their history. i think in this case, you know, it's going to be something special for all our team—mates at afc fylde. we've not been to the third round before and when you get a chance to play a premier league game, it's something, it's notjust in every match on a normal weekend, so we are looking forward to it and hopefully there'll be a good atmosphere as well. later today, there's the merseyside derby at anfield. carlo ancelotti's arrival at goodison park has given everton a renewed sense of confidence, and one man in particular seems to have benifitted more than others. striker dominic calvert—lewin has scored three times since the italian's arrival. for me, as a young player, you can't really ask for anyone better to be in charge. you know, he's worked at some of the biggest clubs in the world and worked with some of the best players and best

strikers in the world. so for me, it's an unbelievable learning experience at this stage in my career and to have the backing of him, like i have done so far, it fills me with a lot of confidence going onto the pitch and, as you can see in my current form i've been in, the back of the net. the wsl returns from its winter break today and one of the world's biggest names in women's football is expected to make her debut in the league. the australia captain sam kerr signed for chelsea in november and could feature for the first time today against reading. kerr has scored 38 goals for her country since making her debut at the age of 15 and is the all time top scorer in us top flight football. england's cricketers will be looking to make short work of the south africa tail end this morning, when the second test resumes in cape town. england have the edge — and a lead of 54 runs — after ben stokes took four superb

catches on day two. adam wild reports. in cape town, a beautiful warm day. watching on, english knights were heating up to. knights were heating up too. into battle once more, jimmy anderson. but after yesterday's batting problems, today's opening stand was england's last. and anderson didn't — not for long, anyway. all out for 269. now it may be one of the world's most picturesque grounds, but right then for england things weren't looking great. that was until stuart broad found the edge of peter milan's bat. the ball, the game, suddenly moving at quite some pace. time then to get a grip of it. ben stokes, another brilliant catch from him, surabaya hamza, the latest batsman to wonderjust how he does it. and while south africa were still working it out, ben stokes caught hold of another. england's day brighter by the moment. rassie van der dussen too caught

by an england hand — but wait, replays showed a no ball. south africa with a roar of reprieve. van der dussen along with dean elgar added more than a hundred. still, fortune remains fickle and with stokes, england really are in great hands. here, he finally got van der dussen. moments later, he caught dwayne pretorius as well. four catches, quite a day for him and for england. jimmy anderson striking with the final ball and celebration really started. england's day for england's knights. adam wild, bbc news. that gets back under way later on this morning. saracens enjoyed another win in rugby union's premiership, thrashing worcester warriors by 62 points to 5, as they continue their recovery from that 35—point deduction at the start of the season — they're now on —7. and gloucester had an excellent 29 points to 15 win over bath to move up to third in the table — they were down at the break but came out fighting, scoring three tries — gerbrandt grobler with this to secure the bonus point.

and glasgow warriors ran in six tries to see off benetton in the pro14 — george horne touched down twice as the warriors won 38—19 to stay in touch of the play—off places. there we go, liverpool and everton at the big one today later on at 3:30pm on bbc. could change both of their seasons significantly. on bbc 0ne. their seasons significantly. on bbc one. that is your day sorted. that the afternoon plan. thank you. this weekend marks 53 years since donald campbell died while trying to break his own water speed record. his daugher has demanded that his hydroplane, bluebird, is returned to a museum in coniston in the lake district, close to the scene of the accident. but the man who's spent years restoring it disagrees, as phil connell reports. more than 50 years since the fatal crash, donald campbell's bluebird was back on water in 2018. salvaged from coniston and restored

by a team of north—east volunteers led by bill smith — a north shields boat engineer now in dispute with a lake district museum over who exactly owns bluebird, and as to where she should be kept. the museum should have the boat on display for nine months of the year. we would like to take it out and operate it, run it on water for three months of the year. i'm yet to meet anybody who doesn't think that's a perfectly reasonable compromise. we just need it written down in black and white, we can crack on and everybody gets what they want. this weekend, though, to mark the 53rd anniversary of campbell's failed attempt to beat his own world water speed record, a memorial service was held — with his daughter calling for the boat to be brought back to coniston and left permanently at the ruskin museum, which wants the restored boat for the centrepiece of its bluebird exhibition. it is absolutely imperative that bill smith brings my father's bluebird back here to coniston, in its rightful home, as soon as possible.

the museum has been waiting now for months and months... years, years — 2010, this building has been ready — and it's sitting idle in a workspace in north shields. if the public was saying to us, "get that thing in a museum now," we'd have to listen. the public aren't saying that, the public are saying, "get it back on the water, it was fantastic." and we're listening. and the idea of putting it in a museum, shutting the door behind it, leave it for 12 months, isjust ridiculous. a solution to the row may now require the courts to intervene. the boat steeped in history — and now in controversy, too. phil connell, bbc news, north shields. it is 6:44am, sunday. here's phil with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. i will talk to you because roger has no interest in the weather later today with his plans family made. not sure you need the fire. it is not that cold. it is a

bit breezy. a lot of cloud around. at least there is a lot of dry weather and if you have outdoor plans this afternoon, unlike roger, i don't think the weather will get in your way at all. a rerun of yesterday but that doesn't mean the cloud we have is going to break in the same places as it did yesterday by any means because the wind has just changed direction a bit. it is a bit more southerly and that is why some more of these temperatures now in double figures this afternoon than was the case yesterday. the wind is more noticeable as you get to the weather front which will produce the bulk of the day's rain across the north and north—west of scotla nd across the north and north—west of scotland as was the case yesterday. some spots in the west during the day and overnight may have enough cloud for there to be the odd spot of rain but it won't amount to very much. this is how we close the night. temperatures dribbling away, as last night, where you have one or two gaps in the cloud. you will be down at two or three but not a

particularly cold night. don't be suckered by the dry start on monday because we have a weather front, a lot of isobars on the chart, so a bit of a change. certainly for northern and western parts of the british isles. this weatherfront northern and western parts of the british isles. this weather front to contend with. strong winds, maybe gale force and expose locations in scotla nd gale force and expose locations in scotland and northern ireland. i don't think you get the rain across east anglia, midlands and south—east until later in the things actually improve behind the weather front with sunshine to finish off the day and perhaps their winds reducing for and perhaps their winds reducing for a time until tuesday. here comes the low pressure up towards iceland but the trailing fronts will produce the rain and notice the number of isobars. this is where the weather could well get in your way. notjust because it will be quite wet and miserable. the rain flicking through the south—east. it is more for scotland, northern ireland, north of england. the strength of those gusts. that could mean speed restrictions on bridges and possibly the cancellation of some ferries. it

is that sort of day. those are not my decisions and it is a long way away. the one plus about tuesday is it will be exceptionally mild. 11 to possibly 16 degrees. time will tell. the first part of the week, it is that fate of january. later in the week i think we will get some spells of somewhat drier conditions so it is not all doom and gloom. for the most pa rt is not all doom and gloom. for the most part it will be on the mild side. sounds like the perfect day to watch football! . it was nothing personal, i was caught out finishing my yoghurt. thank you. you are not meant to tell everybody, i am covering for you! at least you've had your breakfast now.|j covering for you! at least you've had your breakfast now. i can eat it now between now and 7am. yes, because it is time for click.

hello, welcome, and a very happy new year to you. gosh, 2020 always sounded like the future, didn't it?! now that it's here, i guess it's not. we are going to get stuck into the new year next week but first, we're going to take you on a trip back through 2019. it was the year that we celebrated our 1000th show with an interactive episode online, where you could choose your own path through. imagine if everything that you watched was interactive and if you could change your experiences depending on your mood, your desires, or even how much time you had. if you go online to the address that is on screen now, you will find a special version of this programme that is interactive. you get to choose which tech stories you hear about and in how much detail.

as you watch, you will be given options to dive deeper or to maybe look at things from a different perspective or maybe to skip on entirely. i tried out nasa's next moon buggy. by the way, we are on a slight incline right now. laughs and we visited taiwan to see how green technology was helping to clean up the environment. i think 2019 was a year when many of us regarded technology with a healthy degree of scepticism. instead of just openly welcoming tech advances, we worried about data privacy, about the management of social media sites, and about online security. it was a year when the police around the world stepped up their use of facial recognition technology and while, yes, it could help track down criminals, as the police here in the uk discovered, big brother is not everyone's cup of tea. police cameras in an east london street. everyone gets scanned.

if you refuse, here's what can happen. if i want to cover me face, i'll cover me face! don't push me! this man didn't want to be caught by the police cameras, so he covered his face. police stopped him, they photographed him anyway, an argument followed. how would you like it if you walked down the street and someone grabbed you? crosstalk. what's your suspicion? the fact that he's walked past clearly marked... i would do the same! it gives us grounds to stop him and verify... no, it doesn't! the police said this was disorderly behaviour, so they gave him a fine. the chap told me down the road, he said they've got facial recognition. so i walk past like that — it's a cold day as well. as soon as i've done that, the police officers asked me to come to them. so got my back up, i said to him, bleep off, basically. i don't want my face shown on anything. if i want to cover my face, i will cover my face.

it's not for them to tell me to not cover my face. got a now £90 fine — there you go, look at that! thanks, lads! £90! well done! he was caught up in the last of ten trials carried out by the metropolitan police. the met have had successes — there were three arrests from facial recognition on this test day alone — but the trials have proved controversial. 0pponents claim they are taking place in a legal vacuum. there is nothing in uk law that has the words "facial recognition". there is no legal basis for the police to be using facial recognition. there are no legal limitations on how they can use it, no policy, no regulation. this is a free for all. we are reviewing all capabilities in terms of live facial recognition. and absolutely, the technology is there for body—worn or smaller devices to be fitted with facial recognition technology, as is cctv, so absolutely, we will look at that. but again, the right safeguards and the right reviews and learning has to be put around that.

now, what's your top technology of 2019? well, the one that we think really came of age this year, really started to take off, was electric cars. for the first time, if you were thinking of getting a new car, you probably at least considered getting an all—electric one, so we did a whole show on them. and to prove how quick they can go, we raced one against a lambo! now, both cars are in their fastest set—ups and whatever happens today, we recommend you don't try this at home. we have several safety measures in operation. first of all, johnny is a professional racing instructor here at drift limits. he does this day in, day out to scare the living daylights out of members of the public. in the passenger seat will be mark, ensuring fair play and probably screaming his head off. and who can we get to give one of the finest sports cars a run for its money in a tesla? it's only top gear's the stig!

oh, i'm sorry, the stig wasn't available, so i'm standing in. is that 0k? it's only click‘s lara lewington! drivers, start your engines! revs engine relaxing music plays dramatic music plays ready... i'm the passenger here. myjob is really simple, ijust have to observe and report! whoa! i did brake a bit early, but i so clearly won. i'm no expert but that was no contest.

wow! and i can tell you that lara hasn't stopped bragging about that race since. now, 2019 was the year when many more manufacturers joined the electric party. better infrastructure, decent driving ranges and guarantees on battery life all added to the mood music. and so dan simmons went to the frankfurt motor show to catch the electric buzz. electric may only represent less than 3% of all new car sales last year, but vw have taken a close look at them and reckon it's the future. well, it's obviously not real. these cool designs actually for the future, maybe. each car manufacturer brings out some concept ideas. interestingly on the volkswagen stand, they were all electric. the real car they were launching was the id.3 — a sort of electric golf. with a 205—340 mile range, depending on the exact model, with prices starting

from a competitive 30,000 euros. and a first from vw — they will guarantee the battery for eight years, meaning that if it loses more than a quarter of its full charge when new, they will replace it. audi hasn't done much in the way of electric for the past ten years, either — although now they have this. sorry, that's another concept car. now, they have this. they have started with the popular style family suv. but at more than £70,000, can many families afford it? surely, some things will never lose the roar of a combustion engine. now, when land rover decide to make the defender electric, well, then you know there is a trend going on. it also updates its own software over the air.

and then there were the sports cars. the taycan is porsche's first all—electric car and it shifts — 0—62 in 3.2 seconds, with a range of up to 279 miles and a guarantee on that battery. ok, it's £115,000, but that's a 12k saving on its petrol performance equivalent, the 911 actual turbo. good value, maybe, but i have a feeling that it's that vw that will turn out to be super competitive as an entry model for most. that was dan playing with the everyday and the not—so—everyday evs. last autumn, marc cieslak was invited to new mexico in the states to see the world's first commercial spaceport. fire, fire!

it's a little after 7am and i'm heading into the desert in new mexico, about 20 miles past a place called truth or consequences. hi, there. thank you very much. welcome to spaceport. thank you! the only way that you can get to space today is with the russians, and they're currently charging nasa around $80 million a ticket. spaceport america is the new home of virgin galactic — the company founded by billionaire sir richard branson to take paying customers on 90—minute flights to the edge of space. the spaceport‘s exterior is the product of british architects foster & partners. eventually, five spaceships and two carrier aircraft will reside in the hangar.

passengers will also receive three days' training here before blasting off into the upper atmosphere. and spaceship from base, you are go for l—10 on top. it's also home to mission control, where all flight operations are monitored from. and this is the very first time a tv crew has been allowed to film inside this room. winds are holding 160 at ten knots... when do you think virgin galactic is going to be putting paying customers up into space? when is the date — when's that going to happen? right now, according to our current projections, we think that we can start commercial operations next year. that is all we have time for for the shortcut of click this week. for more of the big themes and big moments from click 2019, check out the full version which is up on iplayer right now. who knows what 2020 will bring!

well, to try and find out, next week, we will be at the world's largest expo, ces in las vegas, and we would love you to be there too. hold on tight, this ride does not stop! see you there.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today: president trump has one he has a list of 52 targets he will hit very ha rd if list of 52 targets he will hit very hard if iran retaliates for the killing of its top military leader. the royal navy is to begin escorting british ships in the persian gulf and the foreign secretary is to travel to washington for talks. hundreds of more homes had been destroyed in australia as the country warned the bushfires crisis could last for months. sir keir starmerjoined the labour leadership contest. in sport, still firing a 40, aaron

uk shipping in the persian gulf, and the foreign secretary dominic raab is to travel to washington for talks later this week. greg mckenzie has this report. as britain ramps up its security in the middle east, donald trump has threatened to hit 52 iranian targets, should iran strike any american or us assets in retaliation for the killing of its revered general, qasem soleimani, whose death the nation has vowed to avenge. the number 52 relates to the 52 american hostages who were taken after the embassy was seized in tehran in 1979 and they were held for 444 days. the president posted on twitter... he goes on to say...

trump added... the tweets came hours after at least four rockets were fired towards baghdad's heavily fortified green zone last night, where the us and british embassies sit. no one was injured. in response to the iranian threats of revenge, the us has sent 3,000 more troops to the middle east and advised its citizens to leave iraq. and british warships have been ordered to escort merchant shipping in the persian gulf. the foreign secretary dominic raab has confirmed he will travel to washington on thursday to meet the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, but not before meeting his german and french counterparts in the week. downing street said the prime minister, who is due to arrive back in the uk from his caribbean holiday today,

would speak to other world leaders in the coming days. greg mckenzie, bbc news. let's ta ke let's take you to these live pictures from iran. the body of qasem soleiman is reported to have been flown into the iranian city of ahvaz, where thousands of people are attending ceremonies to honour him. his funeral is due to take place on tuesday. certainly anti—american sentiment is on display from reports on the ground where those protests and demonstrations are taking place. a lot of people are shouting, "death to america". a lot of people do remember him as a tough and brutal commander. a lot of people out on the streets as his body is returned to iran. the australian prime minister, scott morrison, has warned the country's bushfires crisis could last for months. he announced that a national agency

will be set up to help affected communities recover. phil mercer is live in nowra for us this morning. when we spoke to you an hour ago, you had a bit of rain, but that will not be enough to solve the problem? what australia needs is fire drenching rain, it needs the heavens to open and stay open. this drizzle, has been heavy throughout the day. we are in kangaroo valley, about 100 miles to the south of sydney. this is helping the emergency effort, it is helping the emergency effort, it is much cooler and calmer than it was 204! was ago. on saturday we had temperatures in parts of new south wales in the high 40s degrees. it was very hot, very windy and a very long drought here in australia has made the ground tinder dry. conditions a lot better today. the authorities are using this to try to gain the upper hand. but still 150

fires continue to burn in the state of new south wales and others in victoria and south australia and other parts of the country. what you might be able to see behind me is the end result of a that tore through here on saturday evening and throughout this area, spot fires have been flaring up. we have seen emergency vehicles tearing past. this is a popular tourist destination but there is no one here. these fires continue to smoulder and there is an expectation that australia's bushfire crisis could go on for weeks, if not months. phil mercer, thank you, reporting live from australia. sir keir starmer has announced he's standing in the contest to become the next labour leader. the shadow brexit secretary is considered to be one of the front runners to replacejeremy corbyn and is the fifth candidate to declare. let's talk to our political correspondent tony bonsignore. tony what's sir keir‘s pitch for thejob?

good morning. the first thing he is saying is labour cannot bury its head in the sand given the disastrous deceit for the party in last month's election. he says they need to regain the trust of voters. but a second message, all about not abandoning the radicalism, as he calls it, of the last few years, of thejeremy calls it, of the last few years, of the jeremy corbyn calls it, of the last few years, of thejeremy corbyn years. policies like greater trade union powers, reform to social security. there is a delicate balancing act going on. keir starmer. 0n the one hand, he wa nts to keir starmer. 0n the one hand, he wants to offer a fresh start and lots of people will support him because they think he might move back towards the centre. also he knows that if he is going to win he needs the support of the labour members and a lot of those members are passionate supporters ofjeremy corbyn. what he doesn't talk about in this campaign video of the newspaper article is brexit. very vocal supporter of a second eu referendum. he will have to answer

that question. he is in stevenage today, they voted 59% to leave, he cannot dodge the question for long. tony, thank you very much indeed. al—sha baab jihadists have attacked a military base in kenya which houses us soldiers along with local troops. the fighting is "still ongoing," reports say. the attack was on camp simba naval base in manda bay in lamu county on kenya 5 northern coast. lamu county commissioner told local a local newspaper that heavily armed militants stormed the compound. witnesses heard gunfire coming from the site. the hs2 high—speed rail project could end up costing £108 billion — almost double the original estimate, that's according to the deputy chair of its review panel. lord berkeley, a vocal critic of the project, says there is "overwhelming evidence" that the costs of hs2 are "out of control" and its benefits overstated. the government says lord berkeley 5 report represents his own personal view.

you are watching breakfast from bbc news. several rocket attacks took place in baghdad last night including one near the us embassy. it follows a funeral procession for the iranian military general qasem soleimani who was killed in a us drone strike in the city. we can cross now to baghdad and speak to the washington post's iraq reporter mustafa salim. thank you for taking the time to talk to us, we are very grateful to you. as the washington post's correspondent in baghdad, how uncomfortable is the situation for you at the moment? the situation right now here is very tense. i live here, so i do have my precautions to

take. but in general, the situation is tense right now. iraqis are thinking about the future, which is unknown. they have always known that once there will be a battle between the us and iran, it will be here. but these were only expectations. with these two updates, the killing of these two leaders, it became reality. how destabilised has this made, notjust iraq, but the wider region? the whole of the middle east, but iraq will be the most affected in that area. iraq, syria, they will be the most affected. iran's militias are active in lots of areas along the region. 0nce iran

need them, they can play the last card, they can create chaos in all of the regions around them. they can cast out the war along the country, to keep the war away from the country. the background to this is really interesting and you will understand this, but it has been building for quite some time. in recent weeks, there was the attack bya recent weeks, there was the attack by a militia on an iraqi army base in which the american contractor and others were killed. that effectively, because that militia was backed by iran, but part of the iraqi state, it was part of the iraqi state, it was part of the iraqi state, it was part of the iraqi state attacking another part of the iraqi state. thatjust shows what a terrible situation that country is in, doesn't it? it shows how iran managed to divide the country. in iraq, right now, we have

many militias. lots of militias started in 2014, after isis took over mosul. there have been militias before in iraq and syria. those militias, tried to control them and started what they called the pnu. but the man in charge was also a man who grew up in iran and was supported by iran. finish what you are saying, it was really interesting. the attacks have been going on for a while. notjust recently. for more than two months, attacks have been going on in baghdad, mosul, old targeted iraqi bases that had american personnel.

those militias are not part of iraqi state. they only say that to minimise themselves. but they are not. yesterday, for example, they we re not. yesterday, for example, they were asking the iraqi forces to stay away from the bases that host coalition, at least 1000 metres, because they said we will attack them. thank you very much for talking to us, we are very grateful to you. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. let's look at what the sunday papers are telling us. we're joined by the former victims' commissioner baroness newlove, who can tell us what's caught her eye. hgppy happy new year. happy new year to

you. what have you spotted for us? it is all doom and gloom. the sunday times, the front page, it is a three week wait to see a gp and it is something i have been battling with about my mum so i am passionate about my mum so i am passionate about gps and care in the community. i know the prime minister promised to eradicate this issue. i think we need to look at the whole landscape and this line, we are living longer, told to not eat this, not drink that and now we are blamed for living longer. there is a shortage of gps, just because there isn't non—, the tensions and they won't work overtime. the poor people in a&e, they have no choice at saying it. we need a balance of social care because gps are private businesses. iam because gps are private businesses. i am passionate about this, getting it right. i will be knocking on the prime minister's though. what will

you say to him? fix this and lets start in the north. investment is crucial. he said he will prioritise the nhs? i don't want to feed the big guys at the top, i am supportive of the nurses in the district nurses, i have been shadowing them and care in the community. they cannot be the poor relation, the elderly, especially if you live on your own. another story in the times, linked to the election although this promise was made, 20,000 new recruits, some people say it is just replacing the officers who have been lost. however, the police fear the return of targets?|j hate targets, when i started in parliament, target this, target that. what does it mean? 20,000, yes he is probably replacing what was taken away. i never liked the reduction in police officers, but you don't get something for nothing.

if it is targets, the wrong thing to do. it is about the human side of this. help us to measure how a department or an organisation is performing? you have to have that internal performance, but you cannot perform, you cannot have a measurement on performance for a victim. there isn't a column for that but it is confidence within the system and that is a huge target. that is the most important target.|j love the story you have picked up on in the sunday mirror. he will ever newspapers, i cannot handle the smallholdings, i have opened it up. this tiny story, william shatner, of course many people rememberfrom star trek, who, at the age of 88, says he is in great shape and wants to go into space. yes, he is the only actor to go into space.

shattered my illusions. he is going up shattered my illusions. he is going up in shattered my illusions. he is going upina shattered my illusions. he is going up in a commercial rocket and later this year, for a tv programme. what i liked about this, he believes he is in the peak of his creative abilities and he is very intellectual. and he said, if he doesn't come back down, what has he got to lose. there was talk of him being in coronation street at one point. how brilliant would that be. can you imagine him going through those doors of the rovers return. the final frontier. yes! this is about family tv. a column by beverley turner, what is she talking about? i watched this last night and i thought i had lost my marbles. this is the masked singer and who

comes on, a seven foot dock in a madonna bra. it wasn't though, it was rita 0ra, divina mccall and ken young, have we really got to this? is this the future? i watch this as well, and it was very odd but i also wa nted well, and it was very odd but i also wanted to keep watching and see he was in the outfit. i think that is what the viewers wanted. at the end of it, people have left tv, patsy palmer, was the butterfly. you think, really? we are talking about it though, aren't we? it is a debate, thinking my word. better than brexit. thank you for bringing the joy. than brexit. thank you for bringing thejoy. music than brexit. thank you for bringing the joy. music fans will be pleased to know we are talking to one of the bbc sounds of twenty20 in a moment. irish band, inhaler are in the

studio. here's phil with a look at this morning's weather. it is another quiet day across the british isles. quite a lot of cloud, one or two gaps, as was british isles. quite a lot of cloud, one or two gaps, as was the case yesterday. the wind is changing direction so the gaps in the cloud may not be in the same places as we experience them yesterday. but the favourite spot for a bit of sunshine, perhaps the north—east of scotla nd sunshine, perhaps the north—east of scotland as opposed to the north—west. we still have the weather front close by an eastern side of the welsh hills and eastern side of the welsh hills and eastern side of the pennines are possible candidates for a little bit of sunshine. because the wind is more southerly, more of you will get temperatures into double figures and the wind more noticeable near the weather front into the north—west and quarter of scotland. we will talk more about the wind in a second. not a great deal changes overnight, we will keep a fair amount of cloud. if it breaks, the

temperatures dribble away a few degrees. but essentially it is a dry night in many locations and that is how you will start monday. but, there is no hiding the fact we have a weather front out towards the west. if you are commuting for the first time in a few days, just be aware of the fact that they will be some rain moving into northern ireland initially and then across scotla nd ireland initially and then across scotland to the north of england, in through wales and maybe into the far south—west as we move into the afternoon. brighter skies follow on behind for northern ireland and the far west of scotland and the rain doesn't get into the far south—east in daylight hours. watch out for the strength of the winds, it could touch gale force in exposed areas, but that is as nothing compared to tuesday, which is all about this low pressure with the frontal system is bringing a combination of wind and rain and some very strong winds at that. coming from, as you'll see, the south and south—west, rain for a time perhaps across the southern

counties. that flicks away. the rain largely confined to western wales and all points north, but it is the strength of the wind i need to bring to your attention because it could be disruptive. sailors across the irish sea and around the islands of scotla nd irish sea and around the islands of scotland could be in for a delay so best to check if you are on the move on tuesday. of course, exposed roots will be fully exposed to the strength of the wind. a mild day, we could be pushing 14 or 15 degrees. keeping a close eye for the wet weather on monday. tuesday for the strength of the wind. it will be mild in the first part of the week. it does turn drier as we close out the week, but in the short—term, our focus is very much on monday and tuesday. back to and sally. andrew marr is here on bbc one at 9:00. let's find out what he has in store. with the huge crisis over iran and

iraq building up all round the world i have the foreign secretary talking about britain's response, what we will be talking to the americans about. and the labour leadership contest, two are very important front runners. jess phillips, the birmingham yardley mp and the brexit secretary, keir starmer. also says sam mendez, talking about his new show, 1917, a wonderfulfilm. andrew, thank you very much indeed. our next guests are already making waves in the music industry and they've not even released their debut album yet. irish band inhaler have been named in the top five of the bbc‘s "sound of 2020" list, which predicts who will be the big music acts to watch in the year to come. and they're following in big footsteps, as frontman eli hewson is the son of u2 star bono. shall wejust get

shall we just get that out of the way? we'll be joined by the band injusta moment, but first let's take a look. # easy as an ice cream sundae # every dancer gets a little hurt # i'm in the pursuit of happiness # i'm gonna get it, i'm gonna get it # every hour i'm?getting stronger # i'm gonna?get it, i'm gonna get it # easy?on my back, i'm going nine to ten # i'm gonna get it, i'm gonna get it inhaler, otherwise known as eli, josh, robert and ryanjoin us now. great to see you all this morning. josh, eli, robertand ryan on great to see you all this morning. josh, eli, robert and ryan on the n.

eli, lets get that that thing out of the way, but is your dad, has that been helped you ? the way, but is your dad, has that been helped you? not really, i haven't asked him for much advice except for how many socks do you ta ke except for how many socks do you take on tour. how many do you take? not enough. do you think may be growing up in a musical atmosphere, you have absorbed and may be inherited some of the talent?|j don't inherited some of the talent?” don't know. more likely to be less talented because it has already happened. josh, tell us about where the name came from? the name came before i joined the band, just before. who can tell us about the name? eli used

to be asthmatic and then he got slacked off a lot while we were in school. that is very mean, as an asthmatic, i can say that is mean. people just like, people thought he was faking it and people homed in on that and started calling us the inhaler. but we thought the word inhaler. but we thought the word inhaler sounded better. it is a great back story for the name of a ban. what about the music? what would you like to know? what are your references ? like to know? what are your references? when i hear that, i can hear various references, it is a familiar sound to me, who were your heroes? our heroes are so varied, we come from different musical backgrounds. we kind ofjust incorporated loads of different

influences. the manchester sound was a big thing for us. joy division, the smiths, things like that. he went on tour with blossom supporting them, what was it like? it was amazing, like going on tour with a big group of brothers. me and ryan had never been to america before. what did you learn from them and that tour? just how much hard work it is. we went over, usually we have the crew with us and stuff. you know, you are prepared, but we weren't prepared and it was a massive shock. in what way? it was like going back to the start, in a good way. it was rewarding because we we re good way. it was rewarding because we were able to still deliver the good shows. they can tell us if it

was good or not. we couldn't afford to bring, it was an expensive trip for us so we had tojust to bring, it was an expensive trip for us so we had to just take the essentials. it is hard for band starting out these days, not much money and people buying music. you either exist as a small artist or a big one. i think in the middle is pretty tough. that is an interesting point. is touring now for a band, potentially more important, you are streaming your music and getting out there but you are not flogging records? being a good, live band is the most important thing. that and having good songs,. blossoms didn't win, people like adele, sam smith and ellie goulding have one, so you

are in good company? it was a big deal, we are happy and excited to be pa rt deal, we are happy and excited to be part of the less. is this your first live tv interview. in 20 years, when people know who you are, they will show this clip. we will still be boasting about it. in 20 years time, i will be in the pub saying, that was me on the telly there. we wish you well. thank you for coming in, it is fantastic to me. good luck. we're here on the bbc news channel until 9:00 this morning, and coming up in the next hour... as all eyes turn to hollywood for tonight's golden globes, we'll hear from the 12—year—old british boy nominated for his starring role in the film "jojo rabbit". we'll hear how a fresh row has erupted over the fate of donald campbell's famous boat "bluebird", 53 years after the crash on coniston water in which he died.

all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and rogerjohnson. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news.

donald trump has warned that 52 sites in iran will be hit "very hard" if tehran retaliates over the death of its senior military commander, qasem soleimani. the president's tweets followed an announcement that the british government has deployed two royal navy warships to escort british shipping in the persian gulf. the foreign secretary dominic raab is due to travel to washington for talks next week. let's have a look now at the scene in the iranian city of ahvaz, where thousands of people have gathered. where thousands of the where thousands of general‘s body has been broug back the general‘s body has been brought back ahead of his funeral on tuesday. lots of anti—american sentiment among those protesters this morning. at least 24 people are now known to have been killed by australia's ongoing bushfire crisis — which the country's prime minister, scott morrison, has warned could last for months. a man died in the state of new south wales trying to save a friend's home. speaking at a press conference in the last few hours, mr morrison hinted that the worst

is yet to come in some parts of the country. the fires are not over. the crisis is not over. there are months to go. particularly in the southern states, and speaking to premier hodgman in tasmania and in victoria, the more difficult season usually come later, in january and february. there is still a long way to go and sadly there will still be more cost that will be incurred. sir keir starmer is the latest candidate to announce that he's standing in the labour leadership contest. writing in the sunday mirrror, the shadow brexit secretary says the party needs to "rebuild fast" to restore trust. he's the fifth person to put themselves forward after lisa nandy, emily thornberry, clive lewis and jess phillips. the m1 has been fully reopened after a crash in which two lorry drivers

died. the southbound carriageway near bedford was closed for 16 hours while police dealt with the incident. the families of the drivers have been informed. al—sha baab jihadists have attacked a military base in kenya which houses us soldiers along with local troops. the fighting is "still ongoing," reports say. the attack was on camp simba naval base in manda bay in lamu county on kenya's northern coast. lamu's county commissioner told a local newspaper that "heavily armed" militants stormed the compound. the hs2 high—speed rail project could end up costing £108 billion — almost double the original estimate — that's according to the deputy chair of its review panel. lord berkeley — a vocal critic of the project — says there is "overwhelming evidence" that the costs of hs2 are "out of control" and its benefits overstated. the government says lord berkeley's report represents his own personal view. let's catch up with all the sport. gavin is here and we are looking

back and looking forward to the fa cup. rochdale had a veteran to thank for what will be a money spinning replay. 40 is by no means old. thanks, gavin! laughter but as a football it is ancient. the 40—year—old playing football at a good level, it's unheard of. aaron wilbraham made his debut before the 1998 world cup and this weekend is full of great stories. the third round of the fa cup always provides great stories and 40—year—old aaron wilbraham gave us one of the best yesterday — he scored rochdale's equaliser, to take newcastle united to a third—round replay. and as alex gulrajani reports, that wasn't the only comeback of the day. commentator: first time. wilbraham! at 40 years old, aaron wilbraham might have thought the days of scoring against a premier league side were behind him. but he did just that. steve bruce, a cup winner in his playing days, brought newcastle to rochdale, two divisions beneath them.

0nly victory on their minds, especially when mickael amarone, a £21 million striker, gave them the lead. but the boys from the big league couldn't finish their lowly opponents. wilbraham snatching a draw which earned his side a money—spinning replay at newcastle's st james's park. looking forward to it and went there with bristol city, actually, and scored a few years ago. so i'll be looking to do the same again, hopefully. it was a similar story at vicarage road where watford threw away a three—goal lead at home to tranmere. 46 league places between two divisions separate these two and no—one could have predicted this comeback. two goals in 15 minutes reduced the gap to just one and with time running out, tranmere were awarded a penalty. paul mullin the hero. it's a special moment against a premier league side to get the replay and get them back to prenton park on a tuesday or wednesday night. watford are a great side,

but if we do what we did today, the second half mentality right and go toe to toe with them and see where it takes us. what that result meant to tranmere's players and fans is clear. the fa cup adventure well and truly still alive for them and rochdale. alex gulrajani, bbc news. so, two premier league sides still in the cup by the skin of their teeth — but two were knocked out by championship opposition. brighton lost to sheffield wednesday, and aston villa were beaten by an absolute cracker from harry arter, giving fulham a 2—1victory at craven cottage. there are more chances for upsets today among the fixtures — non—league side afc fylde are away to sheffield united. fylde are the lowest—ranked team left in the cup — they earned their place in round three with victory over kingstonian — and they freely admit this is the biggest match in their history. i think in this case, you know, it's going to be something special for all our team—mates at afc fylde. we've not been to the third round before and when you get a chance to play a premier league game, it's something, it's notjust

in every match on a normal weekend, so we are looking forward to it and hopefully there'll be a good atmosphere as well. later today, there's a merseyside derby at anfield. carlo ancelotti's arrival at goodison park has given everton a renewed sense of confidence, and one man in particular seems to have benifitted more than others. striker dominic calvert—lewin has scored three times, since the italian's arrival. for me, as a young player, you can't really ask for anyone better to be in charge. you know, he's worked at some of the biggest clubs in the world and worked with some of the best players and best strikers in the world. so for me, it's an unbelievable learning experience at this stage in my career and to have the backing of him, like i have done so far, it fills me with a lot of confidence going onto the pitch and, as you can see in my current form, i've been hitting the back of the net. so i'd like to think that's helped. we will see if he scores later on. the wsl returns from its winter

break today, and one of the world's biggest names in women's football is expected to make her debut in the league. the australia captain sam kerr signed for chelsea in november and could feature for the first time today against reading. kerr has scored 38 goals for her country — since making her debut at the age of 15 — and is the all time top scorer in us top flight football. england's cricketers are due to get under way against south africa in less than hour, and they will be in a good position on day three if they can do a quickjob of removing the tail end. england have a lead of 54 runs — after ben stokes took four superb catches on day two. adam wild reports. in cape town, a beautiful warm day. watching on, english knights were heating up too. into battle once more, jimmy anderson. but after yesterday's batting problems, today's opening stand was england's last. and anderson didn't — not for long, anyway. all out for 269. now it may be one of the world's most picturesque grounds, but right then for england things weren't looking great. that was until stuart broad found the edge of peter milan's bat.

the ball, the game, suddenly moving at quite some pace. time then to get a grip of it. ben stokes, another brilliant catch from him, surabaya hamza, the latest batsman to wonderjust how he does it. and while south africa were still working it out, stokes caught hold of another. england's day brighter by the moment. rassie van der dussen too caught by an england hand — but wait, replays showed a no ball. south africa with a roar of reprieve. van der dussen along with dean elgar added more than a hundred. still, fortune remains fickle and with stokes, england really are in great hands. here, he finally got van der dussen. moments later, he caught dwayne pretorius as well. four catches, quite a day for him and for england. jimmy anderson striking with the final ball and celebration really started. england's day for england's knights. adam wild, bbc news.

saracens enjoyed another win in rugby union's premiership, thrashing worcester warriors by 62 points to 5, as they continue their recovery from that 35—point deduction at the start of the season — they're now on minus 7. and gloucester had an excellent 29 points to 15 win over bath to move up to third in the table — they were down at the break but came out fighting, scoring three tries — and glasgow warriors ran in six tries to see off benetton in the pro14 — george horne touched down twice as the warriors won 38—19, to stay in touch of the play—off places. this afternoon, 3:30pm, liverpool against everton. that will be a really good game. everton haven't won at anfield since 1999 but carlo ancelotti has a good record. he seems to be making a difference.”

was going to sit on the sofa with the fire on but i don't need to put the fire on but i don't need to put the fire on but i don't need to put the fire on! thank you. the 77th golden globe awards take place in los angeles tonight. hosted by ricky gervais, this year's ceremony will showcase an array of british stars who have taken us screens by storm. among the combined 27 brit nominations is 12—year—old roman griffin—davis. he stars injojo rabbit — a film about a 10—year—old growing up in war time germany whose imaginary friend is hitler. 0ur los angeles correspondent sophie long went to meet him. the film jojo rabbit is out in the uk. it's out. i remember, like, six months ago saying january the 1st and they were, like, "january the 1st?" i was like, "yeah." but now it's out. have you had a response from your school friends, or anyone who has now seen the film? yes, some of my school friends have seen it and i also did a screening beforehand at a picture house with my friends before it released.

it was actually kind of amazing, because so many of these kids didn't even know what the holocaust was. things are changing. the allies have taken italy, france will be next and soon the war will be over. god dammit! why does that make you happy? you hate your country that much? i love my country, it's the war i hate. it's pointless and stupid and the sooner we have peace, the better. oh, the warwill end. we will crush our enemies into dust and when they are destroyed, we shall use their graves as toilets. ok, no more politics, dinner is neutral ground. and it is a difficult subject, isn't it and yet it's a very funny film, it's a beautiful, funny film whilst dealing with a difficult subject. have you had any encounters with people who didn't really understand how you can make a comedy about? there was this one french nazi that kept on, he was so angry about the film that she kept on sending hate to my instagram account.

but i was actually kind of happy because she was embarrassed and she was angry and kind of, yeah, and she felt vulnerable and i'm happy that this film has made the nazi vulnerable. you are not a nazi, jojo, you are a kid. who likes dressing up in a funny uniform and wants to be part of a club. just take me back, if you can, how did you feel when you'd heard you'd been nominated? well, we'd just woken up and we came back from los angeles the night before. so we werejet—lagged. and we got up and i was having breakfast at 1pm and we started watching it live. we saw this guy take out the envelope. it was quite funny. and he went, "the nominees for best actor in a musical or comedy."

and then he went," taron egerton, leonardo dicaprio," and then "roman griffin davies. " yorkie? no! oh, god. this is your first film and it ended up being nominated in the same category as james bond. yeah, yeah. how does that feel? weird, very weird and i'm happy that most of the people in that category are english. he is quite a talent to stop and i've seen the extended trailer for the film, and it looks brilliant. i heard him being interviewed by colin patterson on thursday and radio five and it sounded brilliant. just like

sophie's interview, very confident, capable. we'll be joined later by the film critic and podcaster anna smith for more golden globes analysis, that's at around 8:50am. let's check on the weather. see how it is looking. how is it looking? not too cold? not too cold and it is one of those january days, like yesterday, rather sitting there for the most part. it won't really get in the way of your plans, whatever they may be. fairly cloudy again and a bit breezy, especially by the weather front, which is a bit breezy, especially by the weatherfront, which is marring the day across northern and north—western quarter of scotland. elsewhere, may be just enough cloud down the western side, may be through the channel areas, to give the odd spot of rain on the breeze. not amounting to much. 0ne the odd spot of rain on the breeze. not amounting to much. one or two spots the eastern side of the pennines, wales, may get some sunshine. a range of temperatures eight to 11 and the wind more of a feature coming into the north—western quarter of scotland. if you are out and about this

afternoon, one or two layers and you should have a pleasant walk or whatever you are up to. not a great deal changes this evening and overnight. we keep one or two gaps and if they happen to occur to the eastern side, those temperatures could dip away but i think generally across the west, somewhere in the range of seven to ten. not a cold start on monday, it should be dry for many, but, and it is significant but, this weather front will eventually spread rain through scotland, northern ireland initially, and then across much of the north of england into the midlands, wales, southwest. it doesn't get to the far south—east until probably getting on to dusk, and things improve behind it. late sunshine across scotland and northern ireland. temperatures in the range of nine to 11, much of the wind, quitea the range of nine to 11, much of the wind, quite a bit of it, coming in from the south and south—west. quite a bit of wind associated with this one. the isobars even more tightly packed than monday. that means we

have initially quite a bit of rain across a good part of northern and western britain. a bit of rain for a time as the warm front moves through, thickens the cloud. it may brighten across the south—east but look at the strength of the wind. these are the gusts and i'm not even showing you the very strongest, which we think may affect some parts of scotla nd which we think may affect some parts of scotland and northern ireland. that could disrupt your travel plans. take it easy if you are on the move on tuesday. a lot of water and spray around and the strength of the wince. the temperatures are extraordinary because they are coming in from the south and south—west. because of the parts of scotla nd south—west. because of the parts of scotland we could look at 15 or 16 degrees. the week ahead starts on a wild note of rain and gales, very mild at least, and later in the week, some spells of rain but drier thanit week, some spells of rain but drier than it will be for some on tuesday. that is the forecast, back to sally and rajat. brilliantly explained. thank you. that was comprehensive, bit of everything. we'll be back with the headlines at 0800,

but now on breakfast it's time for the travel show. i'm paul carter, i'm a journalist and i have come here to tokyo to experience its culture, its sights and smells. like a lego cityscape, it doesn't look real. it's much bigger than i was expecting. a lot more, for want of a better word, gold. i have come as any other western tourist could come and do, but i have also come here as a disabled person, to experience all of those things through the eyes of someone who might have some difficulties getting over some of those problems, getting around. ifeel like i'm... ifeel like i'm done for the day already and i haven't even got anywhere yet. tokyo is one of the most densely

populated cities in the world. and it will play host to the olympics and paralympics. japan expects a record 40 million visitors in 2020, including many disabled travellers. so i want to find out how prepared its capital is to welcome an influx of foreign visitors, especially people like me. i was born without any lower arms or legs, as you can probably see i use short prosthetics to get around. so i'm just off to try and find something to eat. obviously it does pose some challenges, particularly with my height, and in terms of fatigue i can't walk very long distances. there is quite a big bar culture here in tokyo so it means that anywhere with high stools like this is actually out of bounds

to me, as it would be to wheelchair users for example. i do have to be a little bit more picky. sometimes people see me and have a perception of who i am, and what i might be able to do and what my limitations are. and i don't always think that their perceptions necessarily meet my reality. can i have this one? 0h! 0k. is that 0k? success. we have a table. arigato. cutlery—wise, there is a selection of chopsticks, which for obvious reasons aren't much use to me, and some spoons. no forks, so i planned ahead and i have the japanese word forfork on my phone... so when my food comes i will see if they have any. otherwise it will be a job of improvising.

ah, thank you, arigato. success! i have a fork. looks good! there are around 6 million people with disabilities in japan, and my goal over the next few days is to see what it is like for us to visit this city. we're off to the skytree. not really sure what to expect, looking forward to the view. it's a reasonably clear day so hopefully we'll be able to see something at least. i guess we'll find out when we get to the top. it is already looking busy inside. there are quite a few escalators to get up but that's not too bad.

i'm quite lucky that i can use escalators all right, there are lifts here as well. the skytree is the world's tallest tower, and one of the country's most popular attractions. this is the mostjapanese thing i've seen since i've been here. hello kitty over here, people dressed up in all kinds of slightly weird outfits. hi, thank you very much. thank you. which way... this way. thank you. built in 2012, this modern icon stands at a whopping 634 metres high. announcer: the tokyo skytree temple deck, floor 350. oh, my earsjust popped. i am told it can withstand earthquakes up to 7.0 magnitude as well as handle some 10,000 visitors a day. whoa!

that's amazing! looks like a lego cityscape, it doesn't look real. i think when you get up here it is just a sense of not only scale, of how massive this place is, but how densely populated it is, how everything is so tightly packed together. i think usually on a clear day you are supposed to be able to see mount fuji in the distance, but i think the weather gods haven't smiled on us today. the 1964 championships and subsequent paralympic games put

disabled people in the spotlight. but what is it like for people living here from day—to—day? i'm in the lively harajuku area, to meet an award—winning disability vlogger who has been documenting her journeys around japan. ah, yuriko, hi! i'm paul, nice to meet you! hi, nice to meet you! how are you? hi, i'm good! this is pretty busy. yes, so crowded. what is this place? i could tell. so you've made videos and provide information for disabled people, how did you start doing that, and why? yuriko thinks the momentum of the paralympics here will change how japanese people interact with disabled people. what is it about the culture here around disability that makes things a bit difficult?

why do you think that is, that people are shy to help? is it a culture thing? part of the success of the paralympics will hinge on people's experience of tokyo. with that in mind, the city has spent billions preparing for the event, which includes updating the infrastructure with lifts and escalators. i'm trying to find the entrance to shibuya station, which i'm told

should be just up ahead. i'm told that the metro system is about 90% accessible. but... is this the entrance? is there a way to get in with an elevator? no elevator? there's no signs to say where the accessible route is. so i'm just going to have to brave the stairs, because i don't know where the elevator is. exit, toilets, information... let's see if with the power of translation apps, i can find a lift. downstairs? 0k, thank you. so, there isn't an elevator on this floor. so it's stairs again.

shibuya station underwent a huge makeover in 2013. now sprawling over three levels, it's a bit of a struggle to navigate, especially with so many steps. there are lifts and escalators here but it takes me more than 20 minutes to actually find them. ok, this looks more like it. right, the first challenge is... the button which says international languages is too high for me to reach. could i buy a ticket? he's going to help me. at least, i think so. 0k.

thank you! by the time i reached the platform on the lowest level, i was pretty tired. i have no idea if i'm actually in the right place but we'll soon find out. and it seems i'm not the only one. even locals are confused by the signage. how do you find it access—wise, the subway? but eventually, i reach my destination.

ifeel like i'm done for the day already and i haven't even got anywhere yet. we made it. to a side street. oh, well, we sort of got there. i think ithink in

you've still got a weather front close by there. it's not too cold, but the wind a little bit fresher than it was yesterday and over the next couple of days we will be talking about a fair amount of rain and certainly a lot of wind as well. more detail on all of that in just a few minutes. it's sunday january 5th. our top story. president trump has warned that 52 sites in iran will be hit "very hard" if tehran strikes back to avenge the death of its senior military commander. qasem soleimani was killed in a us drone strike in baghdad on thursday night. the british government has announced two royal navy warships will escort uk shipping in the persian gulf, and the foreign secretary dominic raab is to travel to washington for talks later this week. greg mckenzie has this report. as britain ramps up its security in the middle east, donald trump has threatened to hit 52 iranian targets should iran strike any american

or us assets in retaliation for the killing of its revered general qasem soleimani, whose death the nation has vowed to avenge. the number 52 relates to the 52 american hostages who were taken after the embassy was seized in tehran in 1979 and they were held for 444 days. the president posted on twitter — "the us has identified 52 iranian sites, some at a very high level and important to iran and the iranian culture. and those targets and iran itself will be hit very fast and very hard." trump added, "the usa wants no more threats." the tweets came hours after at least four rockets were fired towards baghdad's heavily fortified

green zone last night, where the us and british embassies sit. no one was injured. in response to the iranian threats of revenge, the us has sent 3,000 more troops to the middle east and advised its citizens to leave iraq. british warships have been ordered to escort merchant shipping in the persian gulf. the foreign secretary dominic raab has confirmed he will travel to washington on thursday to meet the us secretary of state mike pompeo, but not before meeting his german and french counterparts in the week. downing street said the prime minister, who is due to arrive back in the uk from his caribbean holiday today, would speak to other world leaders in the coming days. greg mckenzie, bbc news. staying with that story, we can cross now to beirut and speak to our middle east correspondent lina sinjab. lina, this is yet more

instability for the region. we are receiving live pictures right now, scenes of the funeral procession forjojo qasem soleimani and many people are on the street there. more comments from donald trump overnight, certainly this tension is not going away, is it? yes, indeed. 0vernight also we had an incident, rocket fired on the green zone area as an incident, rocket fired on the green zone area as be an incident, rocket fired on the green zone area as be heard in the report, which is putting more pressure and warning against american targets in the region and these were fired by a sheer militia group anti—america and very much tied with iran. as we can see the pictures now, thousands are morning qasem soleimani as his body arrived

this morning into iran. there will be three days of mourning, three days of funeral processions in different cities, starting today. then moving to the capital tehran where we are expecting the iranian supreme where we are expecting the iranian supreme leader to lead the prayers and the funeral before the body is moved to his hometown for burial. this is a time for tension and extreme alert in the region. both sides now are warning each other, both iran wants to retaliate and hit ha rd both iran wants to retaliate and hit hard any american interests or american allies interests, and we see latest of elements also from donald trump saying if any attack or any threats towards americans, it will mean harsh reaction from the usa. the region has been in turmoil for many years, and this

assassination is only topping up the situation and making it even more dangerous. thanks very much indeed. go ahead. you are keen to talk about it. i know, it's exciting. sir keir starmer has announced he's standing in the contest to become the next labour leader. the shadow brexit secretary is considered to be one of the front runners to replacejeremy corbyn and is the fifth candidate to declare. let's talk to our political correspondent tony bonsignore. tell us about his pitch for the job. keir starmer can't wait to talk to voters and labour party members today, he's out in stevenage, on the andrew marr show, on the bbc shortly, and there is two part to his pitch today. the first is about labour not burying its head in the sand, he says, given the election defeat and is also talking about

regaining the trust of voters but the second part, interestingly, is about not abandoning the radicalism of the past few years, so trade union powers for example, social security reform, the new green deal, a delicate balancing act is trying to pull off here. on one hand, he wa nts to to pull off here. on one hand, he wants to represent a fresh start but he needs to appeal to labour party members to get him into the leadership and of course many of those supporters are very passionate backers ofjeremy corbyn. two things he does not mention in an article in the newspapers and campaign video, one is suggestions he is to london focused. that will be an issue. particularly brexit. these a big supporter of a second brexit referendum, he will have to answer that question, i think, over the course of today. tony, thank you very much indeed. al—sha baab jihadists have attacked a military base in kenya which houses us soldiers along with local troops. the fighting is still ongoing, reports say. the attack was on camp simba naval base in manda bay in lamu county on kenya 5 northern coast.

lamu's county commissioner told a local newspaper that heavily armed militants stormed the compound. the hs2 high speed rail project could end up costing £108 billion — almost double the original estimate. that's according to the deputy chair of its review panel. lord berkeley, a vocal critic of the project, says there is "overwhelming evidence" that the costs of hs2 are "out of control" and its benefits overstated. the government says lord berkeley 5 report represents his own personal view. the 77th annual golden globes ceremony will take place this evening in los angeles, as the hollywood awards season gets under way. the nominations received some criticism due to the lack of any women, again, in the best director category. comedian ricky gervais will be making a comeback as host, which could make for some memorable moments. 0ur los angeles correspondent sophie long reports. it's that time of year again where stars align and sparkle on red carpets,

and young british actors get a taste of tinseltown. they don't come much younger than roman griffin davis. he's been nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy for his part in the heartbreakingly funnyjojo rabbit. not bad for someone who's only 12. he's up against fellow brit taron egerton for his portrayal of eltonjohn in rocketman. i'm constantly rubbing shoulders with people that, you know, ten years ago i would have paid to meet! and, you know, i'm just really thrilled to be a part of this thing. it looks like it'll be a good year for the streaming giant netflix — it's behind three of the five films nominated for best motion picture drama. also nominated is 1917 — the first world war epic that follows the incredible journey of two young soldiers. it's a wonderful thing when you have... the process of making the film was so special to us, so when that aligns with the way it's been received,

that's really lovely. i think he has a little speech. i have a little speech that's building here. when it comes to the smaller screen, there could be more honours for the adored boundary—breaking flea bag. i cannot believe we're here. i mean, a year ago, we were previewing at the bfi and now we're stood at the golden globes. yeah, i'm blown away. with no clear frontrunner set to sweep the board, it's likely there'll be a few memorable moments ahead. the golden globes are notoriously difficult to predict. the only real certainty is that champagne will flow — and probably a few tears, too. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. more coverage from the golden globes on breakfast of course tomorrow morning. it is now 8am. hundreds of people in the australian coastal town of eden in new south wales have been faced with the choice of defending their homes orfleeing as authorities warn a massive fire is moving towards the area. it comes as 24 people are now known

to have been killed in the fires. the country's prime minister, scott morrison, has warned the bushfires crisis could last for months. elizabeth daniels is a news correspondent for australia's nine network. she joins us live now from eden. what's the latest on the ground there? well, right here in eden we have had ferocious fires and coming up from the south, from the victorian border into new south wales. it's now been downgraded to watch and act, and we've got a tiny bit of rain sprinkling down here, which is a great reprieve for both crews on the ground and residency because all they have had for the past 24 hours isa they have had for the past 24 hours is a smoke so thick that this is what it had produced, a thick blanket of ash on the ground, that's just one section of it. it is falling everywhere. it's basically

been raining ash for 20 flowers with a thick blanket of smoke, and that orange glow that really become synonymous with what's going on here in australia. it's interesting, we have been monitoring event so closely over here and we heard that peak in temperatures has been expected to be yesterday and today. has it been as bad as people were concerned about? well, the temperatures were definitely hot yesterday, but what the real issue was was that wind, when the southerly came through. it wasn't just a normal wind as you would expect blowing the fire in one direction. i've spoken to people on the ground here who said it was just whipping around almost in circles, so whipping around almost in circles, so you whipping around almost in circles, so you can whipping around almost in circles, so you can imagine what those embers then looked like. when you've got a fire so thick, you have got embers whipping around in circles with wind so whipping around in circles with wind so strong, it was gusting right up the coast. we have cruise around,

cruise on the ground, and when you see the stretch of coastline they are having to cover, you can only imagine why we need so many. i went into a town this morning, we were among the first people in there, the first people that these people had seen first people that these people had seen since they confronted a monster, and i managed to speak to them. ifound monster, and i managed to speak to them. i found a view rss blokes sheltering and i said to them, are you 0k? they said, frankly, wejust needed a beer and they were having a beer together. one of them had lost their own home while fighting to save the others. that's basically the story that we keep on hearing. these hero firefighters. they are out saving other peoples houses and their own are going up in flames. 0bviously hugely distressing for them. talking to the local people, like you have been doing, we have seen like you have been doing, we have seen pictures of where you are at the moment, smoke and devastation

everywhere, so have the people ever seen everywhere, so have the people ever seen anything like this before? that's absolutely right. so destructive that, at the moment, the navy is currently stationed somewhere out there off the port of eden. we can't actually see their huge hms adelaide shipper because of the smoke, but this afternoon, when we we re the smoke, but this afternoon, when we were in those remote towns we feared had been completely cut off, we had to move fallen trees out of the way to even get into the town. when we arrived, the navy were circling in a seahawk above us and landed ina circling in a seahawk above us and landed in a very dusty, very smoky paddock and managed to run over and speak to some of the rfs cruise on the ground. they are checking, time to time tracks, to make sure eve ryo ne to time tracks, to make sure everyone is accounted for, and thankfully, so far, here on the far

south coast, it does look as though many lives have been spared. we have clearly had property damage, and obviously that is devastating for those people who have lost their homes, but so far, it does appear that a lot of people have made it out alive with their lives, except here in edom this morning there were dire warnings when that blaze coming up dire warnings when that blaze coming up from the south was still burning red hot at emergency evacuation level. people were panicking. we actually had people sheltering, i'm not sure if you can see this line of tug boats here, moored on the port of eden, on the jetty, tug boats here, moored on the port of eden, on thejetty, people actually spent last night sleeping on those boats because it wasn't safe to sleep in their own houses. here they were able to be on a boat with fire fighting equipment around them and they were all hosing down those tug boats to make sure no ember attacks came. can you imagine

an ember attack on the water? late last night, about eight o'clock, what happened in eden was they realised the fire was coming, they ended up telling people in an evacuation centre who would come here, they decided eden was no longer safe and they evacuated those people even further north, so, i mean, evacuating an evacuation centre pretty much sums up how deep this crisis is running. liz, i know ripped reporters never want to be pa rt ripped reporters never want to be part of the story, but ijust curious, personally for you being on the ground, how scary has it been? honestly, i have actually never experienced what we experience today. we drove in to a zone where the fire had swept through hours before we got there and the logs we re before we got there and the logs were still smouldering and the roads we re were still smouldering and the roads were cut in a lot of ways. paved

with burning trees, really. my crew andi with burning trees, really. my crew and i had to get out of the car, moving logs to get through. but, frankly, our only thought was really who was on the other side and what are they dealing with? this inferno was clearly so strong, and so hot, things had just melted. we went through houses, the corrugated iron, iconic australian country towns, uc corrugated iron everywhere, i roofs, and that's the hallmark of our towns and that's the hallmark of our towns and at the moment, there is a hell ofa and at the moment, there is a hell of a lot of corrugated iron lying on top of what is the burnt out ruins of homes, just melted steel, and when you see that, you realise how ferocious this fire has been, so when we were driving down some of these roads where no one had been, no one had cleared the path, you know, you are looking at flames on the side of the road and you think,

well, is that tree going to come down in front of us? is it going to come down on our car? we were just, as low as possible, and making sure that everywhere we went we were being safe and did get pretty dicey in some sections. we had to turn back. we couldn't make it all the way down to the town which we try to do. to see what had been destroyed there. it's a time further south than where we are here, so just town after town basically we were trying to make our way south to the border and you would have seen those famous pictures being beamed around the world, a town on the other side of the border, we are in new south wales and victoria are south of us, and this fire is the same fire that forced all of those people onto the beach, those pictures of the red sky and people on boats, being beamed

around the world. that is the same file which is snapped up through new south wales, so you get a sense of how ferocious it has been and how widespread it has been and also, this is the plushjust widespread it has been and also, this is the plush just bushland. widespread it has been and also, this is the plushjust bushland. i'm not sure if you can see. those are the tree tops, you may not be able to see them because the smoke is so thick, but this is coastal bush land, so where we are in a drought in new south wales at the moment, even on the coast, there are still a lot of really thick luscious bush and people are telling me the areas which are burned overnight haven't burnt for 30 years. liz, you paint a devastating picture. it's great to talk to. stay safe. incredible description of the situation most people are in. here's phil with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. how is it looking? just to follow on from what the

corresponding were saying there, in australia, we were talking yesterday in breakfast, hopeful a southerly change as they described it, whether front would come in from the south and offer at least some relief from some areas and i'm here to tell you when were talking about canberra setting a new temperature record, 44 celsius yesterday, at the very same time of day, comparing yesterday and today, right here right now, their temperature has dropped 26 celsius. just to give an indication of what a difference that front is made with the ambient temperature, but phil mercer had a bit of with him and i'm afraid in the fire affected areas in new south wales, into victoria, there's very little rain associated with that front and, in fact, that front could trigger off some dry lightning storms which has been the root of so many of the problems, sparking so many of those fires across much of eastern australia. a

little bit of relief from the temperatures in the short term. if we we re temperatures in the short term. if we were doing this talk on wednesday or thursday, we would be right back up or thursday, we would be right back up to that searing heat yet again and no doubt some pretty strong winds to go with it. respect to the australian forecasters have got to do all those conditions and i'm having a pipe and slippers day in comparison because today is a bit similarto comparison because today is a bit similar to yesterday in that there isa similar to yesterday in that there is a lot of cloud around, not too much on the way of weather as such. a little bit breezy but we've still got this weather fun close by to the north and west of scotland which has been producing stronger winds and rain on and off throughout the course of the weekend. the brighter skies in scotland a little bit further towards the east and generally speaking, i'm hopeful some of the brakes on cloud will appear perhaps through the midlands, getting the benefit of the welsh mountains, eastern side of the pennines getting the benefit of the pennines, just to help break up some of that cloud. at its thickest at producing the odd spot of rain, not amounting to much away from that windy wet north—western court of the british isles. temperature is pretty much where we were yesterday, 8—12.

the wind is more southerly, so it's just going to feel perhaps milder for some. not a great deal changes overnight. we've got the weather from blooming out towards the western side of the british isles and that's how you start the new day, 4—10. there is the weather front. quite a few isobars as well, so front. quite a few isobars as well, so the wind freshening overnight and tomorrow, it will be a breezy day across a good part of northern and western britain. don't be fooled by the dry start because as you see, as we get on towards the afternoon this frontal tumble through northern ireland, scotland, into the north of england, wales, the midlands and the south—west. don't see the rain until probably around dusk down towards the far south—east and behind, brighter skies, so you finish the day brighter in scotland and northern ireland but, tuesday, this is probably one of the first days where the weather could get in the way of your plans. it won't have

done this we i suspect, but it's not just the amount of rain. a little bit flicks through the south—east for a time bit flicks through the south—east fora time and bit flicks through the south—east for a time and that goes away. much of the rain is there to be had across scotland and northern ireland. that's the issue with tuesday. i'm not even showing you the top we expect and the met office had a yellow warning out that some could push to around 80 miles an hour. the one crumb of comfort is that it will be on the mild side, the wind coming in from the south, pushing the temperatures into the teams on tuesday which is pretty ludicrous for the time of year, so the week starts mild and wet and windy and perhaps a bit dry later. back to you. thanks very much indeed. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. let's look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph leads on the royal navy deploying two warships in the persian gulf to "ta ke all necessary steps to protect our ships" after the iranian general qasem soleimani

was killed in that us air strike. the mail on sunday also leads on that story, and says borisjohnson will arrive back in the uk to face a growing diplomatic and domestic crisis. the observer reports that the us case for killing the general is being "increasingly called into question". and the sunday express leads with british tourists in uae and israel being put on high alert, after military experts warned iran could target holidaymakers in response to the airstrike. let's look at the inside pages now and we're joined by the former victims' commissioner baroness newlove, who can tell us what's caught her eye. good morning. tell us about the mummy who filled bram stoker. yes, the dracula we've seen on bbc, i loved it. where you're not terrified? yes, loved it. where you're not terrified ? yes, i loved it. where you're not terrified? yes, i did, but! loved it. where you're not terrified? yes, i did, but i was terrified. this was the mummy, the

egyptian queen stored for decades in a warehouse in hull, and was the inspiration for bram stoker the dude of inspiration for bram stoker the dude of seven stars and the mummy was a terrifying cream and the mummy stayed by his side when he wrote a dracula in 1897. my goodness. people had mummies in their houses. they did and modern tests revealed it was a male priest, not a cream. it was a man. ijust a male priest, not a cream. it was a man. i just thought a male priest, not a cream. it was a man. ijust thought it a male priest, not a cream. it was a man. i just thought it was very interesting —— cream. it is in whitby, north yorkshire, stored there so bram stoker. really gripping. dracula was fabulous. too scary. i had my pillow, times. sorry to digress, i saw a billboard with a

light shining through bits of stick poking out... wooden stakes, that's the one and as the darkness fell, a billboard had a shadow of dracula on it. really clever. it's been a big success but let's move on before we have any more nightmares. your next story is from the telegraph. food and drink producers.” story is from the telegraph. food and drink producers. i think it's important for britain, we've had such a diet recent months and everything, and the food and drink producers are on the top table of the british manufacturing. i've written it down, the figures, and it's the biggest single manufacturing on the table who have kept their place and so i think it's really important because it is worth nearly 86 billion to the economy. it's also interesting to think that we've got to get this deal right for brexit. the negotiations. i think it's promising because it's created nearly half a million jobs,

it's promising because it's created nearly half a millionjobs, so i think very, very good piece in the business side of the telegraph because it shows that, you know, we are great britain and we can lead thought i just think we got the negotiations right, that is a hell ofa negotiations right, that is a hell of a lot to our economy. one thing people of ciders it's all about belief, isn't it? that's too glib but part of it is positive mental attitude, believing you can do something. considering we got these coaches on positivity, it's been negotiated out so i'm saying now we need to go forward and it's great for the economy. inside the sunday express , for the economy. inside the sunday express, very quickly. five chances to save the high street.” express, very quickly. five chances to save the high street. i love the high street apart from the parking which costs a fortune, so i think the british association of small retailers and come up with a good five point plan. business rates is a huge headache. i always thought they went local but they go central to the government needs to do something on that and give new business is a two—year break from all of this and

make free parking essential for people to go in. i think we need to doa people to go in. i think we need to do a lot of work and there is money invested but they need to invest it wisely. sally is trying to find that one there. do this one quickly. this is the chap who won i'm a celebrity, get me out of here. he was the runner—up. get me out of here. he was the runner-up. he was the favourite at the end. he was brilliant. why has he got a shopping trolley for two packets of crisps? i know, they caught him snacking and he's gone with his trolley. it beats which are to grubs. he was brilliant. i'm a celebrity, get me out of here and now it's got packets of crisps. the final story, four days of kid delay. pa rents final story, four days of kid delay. parents spend the equivalent of four days a year getting young children ready for car journeys.” days a year getting young children ready for carjourneys. i really sympathise, because trying to do it,

it's absolutely crazy. it equates to 96 hours a year. it's quite funny, at the end of it, they actually say that they bribe their children in the end with sweeties and promise them if they just the end with sweeties and promise them if theyjust get him, the car seat are an issue, they want to go to the toilet, they are delayed getting into work, and i have been there. it is hell on earth some mornings. it's really tricky. you get them clicked in and buy uncollected. mothers, and fathers, i understand. i just thought, uncollected. mothers, and fathers, i understand. ijust thought, it brings back to when my kids were there. collapsing the pram. it's like a work—out before work. there. collapsing the pram. it's like a work-out before work. thank you very much. nice to see you. thank you very much. stay with us. headlines coming up.

this hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and rogerjohnson. here's a summary of this morning's main news. donald trump has warned that 52 sites in iran will be hit "very hard " if tehran retaliates over the death of its senior military commander, qasem soleimani. the president's tweets followed an announcement that the british government has deployed two royal navy warships to escort british shipping in the persian gulf. the foreign secretary dominic raab is due to travel to washington for talks next week. meanwhile, the general‘s body has arrived in iran ahead of his burial on tuesday. tens of thousands

of mourners, dressed in black, turned out onto the streets in the city of ahvaz, in the south—west where a three—day funeral procession is now underway. at least 24 people are now known to have been killed by australia's ongoing bushfire crisis — which the country's prime minister, scott morrison, has warned could last for months. a man died in the state of new south wales trying to save a friend's home. speaking at a press conference in the last few hours, mr morrison hinted that the worst is yet to come in some parts of the country. a short time ago liz daniels from channel nine news gave us this update. right here we have had days ferocious buyer that is coming up in the south, from the victorian border into new south wales. it is now been downgraded and you can see we have a tiny bit of rain spangly down here, which is a great reprieve for both crews on the ground and residents

here. because all they have had for the last 24—hour is is a smoke so thick that this is what it has produced, a thick blanket of black ash on the ground. that is just one section it is falling everywhere. it is been basically raining ashford 24—hour is, but they thick blanket of smoke and that or into glow that has really become synonymous with what is going on here in australia. sir keir starmer is the latest candidate to announce that he's standing in the labour leadership contest. writing in the sunday mirrror, the shadow brexit secretary says the party needs to "rebuild fast" to restore trust. he's the fifth person to put themselves forward after lisa nandy, emily thornberry, clive lewis and jess phillips. al—sha baab jihadists have attacked a military base in kenya which houses us soldiers along with local troops. the fighting is still

ongoing, reports say. the attack was on camp simba naval base in manda bay in lamu county on kenya 5 northern coast. lamu's county commissioner told a local newspaper that heavily armed militants a local newspaper that the hs2 high speed rail project could end up costing 108 billion pounds —— almost double the original estimate — that's according to the deputy chair of its review panel. lord berkeley — a vocal critic of the project —— says there is "overwhelming evidence" that the costs of hs2 are "out of control" and its benefits overstated. the government says and its benefits overstated. represents his own personal view. time now for a look at the sport. let me tally... when you get to 40 as if it believes to thinking about what you will do in your future career, coaching may be.

the third round of the fa cup always provides great stories and 40 year—old aaron wilbraham gave us one of the best yesterday — he scored rochdale's equaliser, to take newcastle united to a third—round replay. and as alex gulrajani reports, that wasn't the only comeback of the day. commentator: first time. wilbraham! at 40 years old, aaron wilbraham might have thought the days of scoring against a premier league side were behind him. but he did just that. steve bruce, a cup winner in his playing days, brought newcastle to rochdale, two divisions beneath them. 0nly victory on their minds, especially when mickael amarone, a £21 million striker, gave them the lead. but the boys from the big league couldn't finish their lowly opponents. wilbraham snatching a draw which earned his side a money—spinning replay at newcastle's st james's park. looking forward to it and went there with bristol city, actually, and scored a few years ago. so i'll be looking to do the same again, hopefully. it was a similar story

at vicarage road where watford threw away a three—goal lead at home to tranmere. 46 league places between two divisions separate these two and no—one could have predicted this comeback. two goals in 15 minutes reduced the gap to just one and with time running out, tranmere were awarded a penalty. paul mullin, the hero. it's a special moment against a premier league side to get the replay and get them back to prenton park on a tuesday or wednesday night. watford are a great side, but if we do what we did today, the second half mentality right and go toe to toe with them and see where it takes us. what that result meant to tranmere's players and fans is clear. the fa cup adventure well and truly still alive for them and rochdale. alex gulrajani, bbc news. so, two premier league sides still in the cup by the skin of their teeth — but two were knocked out by championship opposition. brighton lost to sheffield wednesday and aston villa were beaten by an absolute cracker

from harry arter, giving fulham a 2—1victory at craven cottage. ca rlisle united very nearly caused an upset — they're really struggling in league two but they led cardiff city 2—nil at half time. harry mckirdy getting their second, but the championship side came back and gavin whyte snatched a 2—all draw and a replay. there are more chances for upsets today among the fixtures, non—league side afc fylde are away to sheffield united. fylde are the lowest ranked team left in the cup — they earned their place in round three with victory over kingstonian — and they freely admit this is the biggest match in their history. i think in this case it's going to be something special for our team—mates, afc fylde. we've not been to the third round before. when you get a chance to play a premier league game it's notjust a normal match, every weekend. we are really looking forward to it and hopefully there will be a good atmosphere as well. later today, there's a merseyside derby at anfield. carlo ancelotti's arrival at goodison park has given everton a renewed sense of confidence, and one man in particular seems

to have benifitted more than others. striker dominic calvert—lewin has scored three times, since the italian's arrival. for me, as a young player, you can't really ask for anyone better to be in charge. you know, he's worked at some of the biggest clubs in the world and worked with some of the best players and best strikers in the world. so for me, it's an unbelievable learning experience at this stage in my career and to have the backing of him, like i have done so far, it fills me with a lot of confidence going onto the pitch and, as you can see in my current form, i've been hitting the back of the net. so i'd like to think that's helped. the wsl returns from its winter break today and one of the world's biggest names in women's football is expected to make her debut in the league. the australia captain sam kerr signed for chelsea in november and could feature for the first time today against reading. kerr has scored 38 goals for her country — since making her debut at the age of 15 — and is the all time top scorer in us top flight football.

england's cricketers have a great chance to take control, of the second test against south africa. play has just got under way in cape town and england have just the tail enders to go as they look to keep their lead intact on day three. james anderson has just taken a wicket with the first ball of the day. a fantastic start there. it's currently 215—9. england are 1—0 down in the series. saracens enjoyed another win in rugby union's premiership, thrashing worcester warriors by 62 points to 5, as they continue their recovery from that 35—point deduction at the start of the season — they're now on —7. and gloucester had an excellent 29 points to 15 win over bath to move up to third in the table — they were down at the break but came out fighting, scoring three tries. and glasgow warriors ran in six tries to see off benetton in the pro14 —

george horne touched down twice as the warriors won 38—19, to stay in touch of the play—off places. saracens are eating away into that destruction, and they? have they managed to do that? the points difference, as well, the try they scored is just difference, as well, the try they scored isjust phenomenal. i think it'll be a really good comeback for them the season, if they can do it. garden, lovely to see you. thank you very much. during his tenure as foreign secretary, jack straw was an advocate of diplomatic engagement with tehran, and along with his european counterparts, laid the foundations for the ground—breaking nuclear deal which followed. he remains deeply engaged in the debate about the west's relations with iran and is an advocate of dialogue over action. he h e rece ntly he recently wrote a book about the relationship between iran and the united kingdom. and the united kingdom. hejoins us now from 0xfordshire.

jack straw, your reaction first please to the death of general soleimani. well, number one, some incredulity. number two, real concern about the implications of this assassination of soleimani. even if he accepts, which i do not, president trump's assertion that soleimani was quote the world's worst terrorist leader, this was not a sensible action to take. it will have, i think, really serious implications for the west, for america and for the region as a whole. the other thing that i thought when i heard about this was how petrified the iranians would then be. because of the penetration of their security screen around

soleimani. this man, i mean, he is written up as the second most powerful man in iran, after the supreme powerful man in iran, after the supreme leader and artistry. he is also the second most well protected or has been well protected individual in the iranians regime. the iranians be neurotic to an extreme now that their security and secrecy extreme now that their security and secrecy surrounding his movements was penetrated by quote the great satan. their archenemy, the americans. dominic raab, the foreign secretary, said he spoke less and the iraqi prime minister and president two is calling for de—escalation now. is that what you would be advising, too? yes, i think the government has got it right up to now. if they are angry about the fa ct to now. if they are angry about the fact that they were completely blindsided by the us administration over this operation, i do not them at all i mean, it is absolutely extraordinary and i cannot think of a similar occasion when tony blair

was prime minister when i was foreign secretary or indeed either side of that period. when a british government was treated this way by the s menstruation. the us government expects britain and france and germany in this case, to support their action. i think that dominic raab has got it right, it is, now we have president trump talking about 52 targets in iran. i'm not clear whether he is really worked out where this could end up. it is always been the case that america has got much more firepower than the republic of iran and therefore if it wants to, can take out all source of target and kill also is people. but there is then the day after that, but is then going to happen? they have not thought this through. if part of

their whole strategy towards iran was to strengthen the reformers in the iranians system and to weaken the iranians system and to weaken the hardliners, this is taking them in the opposite direction. because other the hardliners are for sure deeply concerned and in grief at the loss of their military leader soleimani, they will also and are already using this as an opportunity to consolidate their power which was actually being undermined by the fa ct actually being undermined by the fact example there had been so many street protesters. not against america for a policy, but against the iranians government. sorry to interrupt, we can see from pictures now they protest today with the demonstrations today where the general‘s body has been brought back. i think the point you are making, they are using it now to turn unrest against the americans a set of against the iranians regime.

just from the way you were speaking, who should be more concerned about now? the iranians and the way they respond by the american president and the way that he now subsequently acts ? and the way that he now subsequently acts? i mean, normal circumstances there would be no concert test in that question, able be the iranians are not the americans. —— no contest. i nothing it is both. both sides strip away the rhetoric actually want to come to some agreement. they need each other. the americans keep talking about a negotiation with the iranians, if you read the iranians press on the one hand there are people singing must not talk to the great satan and the other hand they know very well and some of them are saying this there has to be negotiations with there has to be negotiations with the americans at their is ever going to be any normalisation of their economy and opportunities for their

people. one of the things that is not written down very much about what has happened in iran is that there has been this astonishing and continuing brain drain, but the best and brightest leave iran further west. 150,000 a year, so their whole society is being undermined by the isolation under which they find themselves. so, they will have to be negotiations. from my point of view what is deeply frustrating is that 12 years in negotiation on the nuclear deal, the british government and others finally got the job at the iranians, which could have provided what would have provided a basis for the improvement of the economy in iran and for a shift in a politics. president trump impetuously taught that up, because, the only reason he had was because it was not negotiated by him but by president 0bama. they will have to

get back to negotiations. the situation is nobody‘s interest. get back to negotiations. the situation is nobody's interest. just finally, sir keir starmer is throwing his hat into the ring today to succeed jeremy corbyn as leader of the labour party, there are now five contenders and in all likelihood they will be more. who would you like to see take over?” am standing back from this and listening to what they have got to say i certainly will not be supporting somebody who sees themselves as the air tojeremy corbyn. because i am afraid the boyos or point to have years of jeremy corbyn went entirely as i thought it would come up with that aberration of the 2017 election and plunged us to disaster. sir keir starmer is making that pitch this morning, isn't he? people like jesse phillips and the other candidates,

they get that. i shall be watching this, i note that sir keir starmer has been saying this morning we must not abandon the radicalism of the last three years. he needs the votes of corbyn supporters. 0ne last three years. he needs the votes of corbyn supporters. one thing that is completely undermined corbyn's camping to get elected with the trashing of the wreckage of the 13 yea rs of trashing of the wreckage of the 13 years of labour government. we were not perfect, but my god if you look at what happened in the health service and education services and other public services, there was an an astonishing improvement and also in terms of negotiations with other countries. it is absurd to trash that and they are saying vote labour, people say what you mean by that? labour of tony blair? no, they we re that? labour of tony blair? no, they were terrible. we mean our labour.

so, it needs a new direction. i am sorry... also one that needs rigid in our past successes, not our past failures. jack straw, thank you very much for talking just this morning. it's time now to say goodbye to roger. he's off to read the news for the andrew marr programme. breakfast is here until nine this morning. now, here's phil with a look at this morning's weather. very good morning to you. it is still fairly cloudy, as was the case yesterday. a lot of dry weather around. if you have plants outdoors, little bit breezy perhaps. nowhere more so little bit breezy perhaps. nowhere more so than close to that weather front in the north—west of scotland. come further south than there and there is enough cloud across western hills and because at times for the of rain. you get the sense right through to the action in that it

will not be particularly damp. but they went, just a fraction more southerly. more people get you ten or 12 degrees yesterday than yesterday. the when digital is a bit stronger in the north—west of scotland. 0vernight, nota stronger in the north—west of scotland. 0vernight, not a great deal changes. you have to remember it is to that sort of time of year that the cloud is part of a night it is like using the duvet for a few minutes, you get a bit earlier. so will britain, three or 5 degrees. now, a dry start to the new working week. if the isobars on that tight, they went will be a bit of a feature of the day, especially across northern and western britain. a dry start, will not stay that way. be prepared for some rain. it tumbles its way... you do not get to see the rain until later on in the past at

these. it brightens nicely across scotla nd these. it brightens nicely across scotland and northern ireland. a blustery entry the day there, temperatures at best around 11 degrees. here is to say, the dartboard is with us. we are on the southern flank. that is where we will see the trailing front bringing bleating rain for the greater part of england and wales. but it is going to be a wet all do across scotla nd going to be a wet all do across scotland and northern ireland for the greater part of the day, that is the greater part of the day, that is the main story for tuesday. dusty winds pretty much wherever, but from north wales northwards 50 to 70 miles an hour, possibly 80 which is why the met office already had the other one is for that. look at this, nobody less than 11, possibly as high as 15 or 16 degrees or so. so, thatis high as 15 or 16 degrees or so. so, that is probably one of the first days this year by the weather could get in the way of your plans. watch out for the rain and gales, particularly on tuesday. wednesday are still a very windy day across

the northern half of scotland, in the northern half of scotland, in the first—half of the week a little drier and badger perhaps. sally, back to you. the 77th golden globe awards take place in los angeles tonight. hosted by ricky gervais, this year's ceremony will showcase an array of british stars who have taken us screens by storm.among the combined 27 brit nominations is 12—year—old roman griffin—davis. he stars injojo rabbit — a film about a 10—year—old growing up in war time germany whose imaginary friend is hitler. 0ur los angeles correspondent sophie long went to meet him. the film jojo rabbit is out in the uk. it's out. i remember, like, six months ago saying january the 1st and they were, like, "january the 1st?" i was like, "yeah." but now it's out. have you had a response from your school friends, or anyone who has now seen the film? yes, some of my school friends have seen it and i also did a screening beforehand at a picture house

with my friends before it released. it was actually kind of amazing, because so many of these kids didn't even know what the holocaust was. things are changing. the allies have taken italy, france will be next and soon the war will be over. god dammit! why does that make you happy? you hate your country that much? i love my country, it's the war i hate. it's pointless and stupid and the sooner we have peace, the better. oh, the warwill end. we will crush our enemies into dust and when they are destroyed, we shall use their graves as toilets. ok, no more politics, dinner is neutral ground. and it is a difficult subject, isn't it and yet it's a very funny film, it's a beautiful, funny film whilst dealing with a difficult subject. have you had any encounters with people who didn't really understand how you can make a comedy about? there was this one french nazi that kept on, he was so angry about the film that she kept on sending hate to my instagram account.

but i was actually kind of happy because she was embarrassed and she was angry and kind of, yeah, and she felt vulnerable and i'm happy that this film has made the nazi vulnerable. you are not a nazi, jojo, you are a kid. who likes dressing up in a funny uniform and wants to be part of a club. just take me back, if you can, how did you feel when you'd heard you'd been nominated? well, we'd just woken up and we came back from los angeles the night before. so we werejet—lagged. and we got up and i was having breakfast at 1pm and we started watching it live. we saw this guy take out the envelope. it was quite funny. and he went, "the nominees for best actor in a musical or comedy." and then he went," taron egerton, leonardo dicaprio," and then

"roman griffin davies. " yorkie? no! oh, god. this is your first film and it ended up being nominated in the same category as james bond. yeah, yeah. how does that feel? weird, very weird and i'm happy that most of the people in that category are english. here to discuss all the nominations is the film critic and podcaster, anna smith. get money to. he is incredible unless, isn't he? he is so fantastic. for people who have not seen fantastic. for people who have not seen the spelling, how can the

subject matter where in this way? because some of it is comedy, some of it is drama, does it work?” think it is a very tricky balance. the director does a betterjob than many people could with this very difficult subject matter. for matrix better on the dramatic side. wonderful and moving. when the director himself appears as hitler and the boy's imagination i felt a little bit uncomfortable, it is slightly dividing audiences on that level. as we saw in that piece there, plenty of british nominations this year. who stand out for you?” think town negative for rocket man is lovely. —— taron egerton. an uplifting felon, a feel—good vellum. a lot of the villains in this

competition really are. —— a lot of the movies in this competition. much mac they like a real story, don't they? to life always plays very well and abroad season. when you look at what happened in previous years gone by, how influenced are they by home—grown talent from the american films and tv shows and actors from europe? the golden globes is the hollywood foreign press association, some a lot of them are not from the us. when you look at the less this time, edca us. when you look at the less this time, edc a lot of love for hollywood itself, as well as talent from europe. you have quentin tarantino from europe. you have quentin tara ntino and you from europe. you have quentin tarantino and you cannot have a hollywood bell than that. to set there and a real love letter to days gone by in hollywood. brad pitt is in with a really strong shot here. he is and it's for best supporting actor, but he is an ethical time. a really weird one. it is strange.

they get strategic and they often nominate people, what is the best chance of winning in this category? not so many e—mail directors on this less or actually none. absolute zero. a problem we have had for many yea rs. zero. a problem we have had for many years. it is a peugeot. i think it is partly down to some kind of unconscious bias on the part of the voters that are thinking what did i direct you look like? we are told most people think that a director looks like a white man and a female director looks a white woman. a lot of unconscious bias going on. this is the kind of thing we discuss on my podcast and that is why started. it is important have the main voices looking at things. been out in the little women? can any match exactly. so the felon is nominated? the pill is nominated. —— the movie is

nominated. much mac how important this award season? we cover the oscars alive, how important is it right director or an actor's career? it is important. it does have an effect on box office and box office intern has an effect on what opportunities people are offered in future. golden globes a hint towards what might happen next? they are. they have slightly different category system and a much smaller body a butcher to a nice industry, but at the same time i think of certain movies do but here we should watch out for them at the oscars. what was your favourite movie? can animea what was your favourite movie? can anime a portrait of a lady on fire. looking ahead to the next year, i

things likely to change? be likely to see more female directors given a bit more attention of the next year? we have had better statistics of the last year. so, i am just hoping we will see more opportunities for them coming up. what would you like to see? more women directing big blockbuster, but movies and we do have that coming up with the likes of black widow. in terms of oscar buzz, what are you hearing about villains? i think the irish man is one to watch, a lot of love for that. martin scorsese is obviously a beloved director, so it could do well tomorrow and in oscar season, as well. it is fascinating to talk to. i love the start of award season. we are covering it live on brea kfast season. we are covering it live on breakfast tomorrow morning. i will not be here, but you will have done an obese life here from six o'clock tomorrow morning bringing you all

the nation the golden globes and other very latest news, weather and sport committee. enjoy your day, goodbye. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 9.00. iranian mps chant "death to america!" as president trump warns the united states has a list of 52 targets that will be hit "very hard" if iran retaliates for the killing of its top military leader. royal navy warships are ordered to escort british—flagged vessels in the persian gulf and the prime minister is returning to the uk from his caribbean holiday. hundreds of thousands of people gather in the iranian city of ahvaz where after the body of general soleimani arrived from iraq earlier. the australian bushfires claim their 24th life — as a man dies helping defend a friend's home in new south wales. more than 2,000 homes have been destroyed and an estimated 500 million animals killed. the costs of hs2 are "out of control" and its benefits
