and into tuesday overnight and into tuesday will be the hills of wales, northern england, northern ireland, and in scotla nd england, northern ireland, and in scotland there is snow notjust affecting the hills but potentially also at lower elevations. we could see five centimetres just about anywhere, perhaps eastern scotland more at risk, and ten centimetres also at higher elevations. combined with low temperatures to start the day on tuesday, that means the risk of slippery conditions with snow and ice, potentially bringing some disruptive weather to scotland for a time. through the rest of tuesday, essentially a day of sunshine and showers, but the air is pretty chilly, so the showers will continue to be wintry, with more snow in the high ground in scotland. further south, seven or 8 degrees, and you won't get snow with that. tuesday night time, showers continue thick and fast in the north—west, driven in bya and fast in the north—west, driven in by a continuation of those rather blustery conditions. some further snow accumulating in the hills of scotla nd snow accumulating in the hills of scotland and, in the countryside,

temperatures dipping down closer or just below freezing, and there is a risk of icy stretches again. for wednesday, and other parts of the week, an area of low pressure moving in off the atlantic. there is uncertainty how far north or south this area of low pressure gets. the significance as it will bring outbreaks of rain and, to the south of ourfront, outbreaks of rain and, to the south of our front, the air gets milder, so of our front, the air gets milder, so to the north, where the cold air is in place, some of that rain could turn to snow, especially over the high ground. at the moment, it looks like scotland is most at risk whereas, in the south, temperatures rising to double figures across southern parts of england and wales. for thursday, a true south—westerly wind across the country, with the winds originating from the subtropics, so it will be turning increasingly mild. mild, yes, but pretty cloudy, with outbreaks of rain. heaviest rain close to an area of low pressure will affect scotland, and it will start to turn a bit colder is that cooler air sta rts a bit colder is that cooler air starts to push back in. in the south, temperatures around 11 or 12

celsius. for friday, it looks like we will continue to see those mild south—westerly winds affecting the country rain at times. that sums up the weather, although there could be a bit of hill snow on the leading edge of that. temperatures very mild, looking at highs of 13 in cardiff and, for london, with the cooler air, restricted to the extreme north of scotland by this stage, temperatures in edinburgh around ten. for the weekend, low pressure continues be in charge of oui’ pressure continues be in charge of our weather, bringing often fairly windy weather conditions but, with the winter flu coming windy weather conditions but, with the winterflu coming up windy weather conditions but, with the winter flu coming up from the south—west, it will be mild, even very mild as we head into early february. temperatures in london could reach around 1a, but it will be cloudy with rain at times, occasional brighter spells, often windy, but it is the mild weather you will probably notice the most.

hello. this is bbc news with geeta guru—murthy. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. a us prosecutor says prince andrew has provided "zero co—operation" to thejeffrey epstein sex trafficking inquiry. the southern district of new york and the fbi have contacted

prince andrew's attorneys and requested to interview prince andrew. and to date, prince andrew has provided zero co—operation. the government considers airlifting british citizens out of the worst affected area in china, hit by the coronavirus. companies involved in refurbishing grenfell tower have been accused of failing to admit any responsibility for the fire which killed 72 people. world leaders and holocaust survivors gather at auschwitz in poland to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the nazi death camp. and this evening the duke and duchess of cambridge have been attending a commemorative service in london in honour of the victims and survivors of nazi persecution.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. kevin schofield, editor of the politicshome website, and rowena mason, deputy political editor of the guardian are our guests this evening. let's start with the times and brexit. this is an interesting story from the times. it is saying that one of the things the eu will demand in trade talks is a big role for the european court of justice in trade talks is a big role for the european court ofjustice judges in arbitrating disputes about standards and other trading arrangements. that's something brexiteers in the uk, boris johnson and that's something brexiteers in the uk, borisjohnson and the people around him, that is going to be a red line for them. they will never accept. it shows you that it is going to be potentially an incredibly difficult negotiation thatis incredibly difficult negotiation that is going on this year. number ten once they get brexit off the

front pages, and these trade talks only appear on the business pages but there is such potential for friction and difficult discussions with the eu, it will be a story that continues to make the front pages. the way the government is handling the management of brexit in terms of putting people up, appointing a minister or department or not in the coming weeks, do you think that strategy will work when we are faced with tough decisions? you can see it from their point of view why they wa nt from their point of view why they want to play the whole thing down and make it as dull as possible, but that's fine on the side of the channel, but they will not be able to stop brussels kicking off and european leaders hitting out at britain's position on various negotiating points. so it is a nice idea, that brexit will be off the front pages for 12 months, but i can't see it working out that way. it is on the front page of the ft,

an interview with leo varadkar, it is picking up a bit on that. he is saying that fish is on the menu, if you pardon the pun, once negotiations kick off, the eu will be demanding that britain gives european boats access to british fishing waters and in return, britain will get access to eu financial services, so there is a bit of a quid pro quo which logically makes sense but politically it would be very difficult for the conservatives, because brexit in particular was all about taking back control and a lot of fisher men voted tory, in the la st two of fisher men voted tory, in the last two general elections because they thought that it would ensure they thought that it would ensure they maintain control of their own fishing grounds, but it could be within weeks, the government is signalling that it is willing to give up access, and allow european

boats access to our fishing grounds in return to access for financial services. financial services is a major driver of the economy and major driver of the economy and major tax raiserfor major driver of the economy and major tax raiser for the whole economy. bankers might not be popular, but it is a huge part of the economy. it cannot be damaged too much. it is a bigger sector than fishing. but fishing was an emblematic aspect of the brexit campaign. the idea that we would ta ke campaign. the idea that we would take back control of fishing waters. whilst it is a more realistic demand from the eu to have some sort of access for european fishing boats to uk waters, it will be a difficult thing for borisjohnson to explain to anybody who voted for him in a coastal town, thinking this was going to be the moment at which british boats would get full access to uk waters, alone. the express had the headline, boris, iwill

to uk waters, alone. the express had the headline, boris, i will not give up the headline, boris, i will not give up fishing rights. how many votes or scenes are at stake? sometimes vision can be overstated in terms of the economy. it is a relatively small part, but an iconic industry and the conservatives... it is important for michael gove and his family. that is one of the stories he tells about what shape his views. that is what turned him into a eurosceptic. it was the motto of the scottish labour party, vote tory, get fish, and that helped them in the north—east of scotland. he might have said this exclusively to the express, but i'm pretty sure that he hasn't. it is slightly over interpreting some remarks he made earlier that the uk would take control of fishing, but then decided to grant some rights, to hand it back. so this might be slightly over

reading it, i don't know if you ee, reading it, i don't know if you agree, kevin. he is not saying that he will give up fishing rights because that would be showing his hand very early in the negotiations. he would not want to be saying that. he would not want to be saying that. he has to leave that carrot dangling for brussels to say, we could come to an arrangement on fishing but we need access to financial services markets, so i think this, the express is over egging it slightly. you both cover politics closely. the way that the government is handling access and interviews, kind that hold, do you think? in a way it is extraordinary because borisjohnson is one of the key figures that made brexit happen. why isn't he celebrating it more publicly? we are getting a statement. he is making a statement on friday night. we will not have the big ben bones on friday

night which will disappoint a lot of brexiteers, but they are trying to protect the prime minister from scrutiny as much as possible. you see him popping up and doing clips. why is that given that he has a huge majority? they don't have any need to be out there courting the media when the government is in a position of power. it doesn't have to explain itself because it can get any sort of legislation through parliament that it wants. we'll have to see alone that there will come a time when they realise that they need to explain themselves to the public a bit more, but for the moment, they just want to try and not cause any controversy in the way that they are doing that is by not exposing the prime minister to much scrutiny. they are trying to keep ministers off the today programme. it is one thing saying that, but it is

applying it in practice, with unforeseen events which can happen. and all of a sudden the government is thrown into... there are decisions coming. we will come to huawei and the other things going on. the mailfront page huawei and the other things going on. the mail front page features prince andrew, as they say, failing to help the fbi probe. it is extraordinary, really. a statement from fbi prosecutors saying prince andrew has made zero attempt to cooperate with them. that is amazing considering before christmas in his interview with newsnight he said he would cooperate if required, if advised, is what he said. then he issued a stronger statement saying that he would help. so it seems like he has backtracked on that. buckingham palace have declined to comment. they say it is a matter for

the prince's lawyers, and he's come to the decision that it is better to stay silent for the moment at least. how damaging is this? an incredibly difficult case for the victims involved. the royal family here, you just look at those front pages and it is unusual to see this statement coming out about a key member of the royal family. we've had headlines about prince harry over the new year and meghan markle, and now the prince andrew story has come back. and this, if he maintains the stance of not cooperating with the fbi, what can they do about it? candy fbi compel him to testify? will they to compel him to testify? will they to compel him, in terms of diplomatic relations between the uk and us? there are many factors at play but the advice he seems be getting us to keep your head down and hope for it to blow over, but it doesn't look like that is going to work out. will

the us try to force him to give evidence? we will see. let's move on. a big decision is due tomorrow. borisjohnson to defy warnings and allow huawei into the 5g network. so many people are worried about the security implications of allowing china this level of access but politically for the government, for a leader, boris johnson politically for the government, for a leader, borisjohnson has spoken so much about sovereignty and distancing himself from european allies with similar worldviews, to allow this level of closeness with a country that is an autocracy effectively. he is in a difficult position whichever way he comes down with this decision. if he allows huawei access to some core part of the sg huawei access to some core part of the 5g network he will anger the allies, the us, who say it could put

security and sovereignty are at risk and he is also annoying large parts of the conservative party would think it is a bad idea, particularly on the brexiteer side. on the other hand, if you went ahead with a ban, it is very difficult, because the argument of some around him is that it would harm consumers. that there isn't really any alternative to huawei, and they have become so integral to telecommunications infrastructure, it would be difficult to remove them, and there is no other way to get fast, speedy sg is no other way to get fast, speedy 5g networks. is no other way to get fast, speedy sg networks. it is said that nokia are only 6—12 months behind, but it would take a lot of money to take huawei out of the infrastructure that they are already end but it is economic costs versus protecting security in the future. we are close to the us, and people don't realise the level of closeness. yes, there

is the five eyes security network. australia and america would be relu cta nt australia and america would be reluctant to share security information with the uk because they could not trust that it would not fall into the hands of the chinese, so fall into the hands of the chinese, so it isa fall into the hands of the chinese, so it is a massive decision that the national security council is going to make tomorrow but we are led to believe that they are going to go along with the decision which was taken along with the decision which was ta ken by theresa along with the decision which was taken by theresa may last april, and she had come in for lots of criticism then although it was not officially announced, that she was prepared to give huawei this non—core role in the 5g network. it, borisjohnson has put off a decision on this for as long as he can and tomorrow we will diss —— we will find out which side of the fence he will land on. the irish taoiseach

has said that the uk is a tiny country and doesn't quite realise it. when you see has buffeted between china, the us and the eu, is that going to come through more, potentially, and change political decisions the government makes? there is potentially the consequence of brexit that the uk position and the world will be different. boris johnson came to power bursting of his very close relationships with the us, but this is something america has openly said could damage the special relationship quite badly, and the uk is knocking up against donald trump on lots of different things, including the attacks on the big tech giants as well, the answer to this case, so it is not going as smoothly as boris johnson might have to —— the anne sacoolas case. and the trade talks, whether the huawei decision will

harm us, as well. talking about china, and the coronavirus, because a lot of countries are looking at bringing people back from wuhan. matt hancock has said that if that was to happen, airlifting british nationals back from wuhan, they would be placed in quarantine for two weeks, which seems like sensible precautionary measure, he calls it a belt and braces approach, but there are concerns that around 1500 people have arrived in the uk from china since the new year who have not been checked so that is a big backlog that the authorities are trying to track down as many of those people as possible to get them checked, but so as possible to get them checked, but so far, so good, none of them has been tested and been found to be carrying the virus. it seems late to be announcing this two—week quarantine when they have known about this problem for several weeks. there have been complaints when some people have come back from

wuhan through intermediary cities, nobody has given them a central number that they could call to self—report, and nobody has contacted them so it is potentially shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. it takes time, a plan, to work out the scale of people at risk. the idea that giving advice to people, if they have come out back from wuhan, they should not go out for 1h days, that advice should have been issued quite a long time ago. and more cases reported tonight in hong kong. that whole region, obviously, affected. let's finish with the times. female staff alienated by sports talk at work, claims top manager. would you be alienated by such talk is macrolj wouldn't alienated by such talk is macro” wouldn't have much to contribute but i would not be alienated. it is a

very sweeping generalisation to say that men talk about sport and women don't. lots of women talk about sport and lots of men are not. don't. lots of women talk about sport and lots of men are notm has come from the chief executive of the chartered management institute, to discourage employees from talking about sport because it could lead to lavish behaviour and exclude women. if it comes from talking about var, which football fans will know, to slapping each other on the back and talking about their conquests of the weekend. that is from a bygone age of the 1990s. i agree with tracey crouch, she says what a load of nonsense , everyone is crouch, she says what a load of nonsense, everyone is welcome to pop into her office was on sports chat. she is a big spurs fan, a huge sports fan. so certainly, tracey crouch doesn't mind talking about sport. de think it has changed the

last ten years, even women's football is more prominent, women's cricket, has it changed? maybe women are more engaged and more happy to talk about it, but i think it is a generalisation and as kevin says, as if talking about sport were some gateway to lavish behaviour...! —— laddish behaviour. thank you both very much, lovely to see you. i haven't asked you what you are going to be doing on brexit day. i am going to be standing outside in the cold. that's it for the papers. you can catch up with the programme on the website. it is on the iplayer.

thanks again for watching, and goodbye. hello and welcome along to the programme. the la la kers the la lakers game against the clippers has been postponed following the death of the basketball great kobe bryant. the five—time nba champion played for the lakers five—time nba champion played for the la kers throughout five—time nba champion played for the lakers throughout his 20 year professional career. this was due to be there first game since kobe brya nt be there first game since kobe bryant and his daughter and eight others died in a helicopter crash on sunday. the nba confirmed the fixture would take place at a later date out of respect for the lakers

organisation. arsenal beat bournemouth 2—1 in the fa cup with two emerging stars taking centre stage. craig templeton has the details. as the youth put their faith in arsenal, arsenal put their faith in youth on the oldest cup competition in the world. they didn't take long for that faith to be repaid, just five minutes in fact. 18—year—old martinelli to 18—year—old saka. commentator: what a goal with real power from bukayo sa ka. 1—0 to the arsenal was the chant from the fans, but not for long as bukayo saka turned provider and eddie nketiah had the easiest of tasks. improvement needed. eddie howe did get that, but a goal in reply was proving elusive. the second half was more a story of injuries than it was goalmouth action. mustafi appearing to suffer the worst of them. when chances did arrive it was bournemouth creating them. jack simpson with one of the best.

then there was another collision, but both sokratis and steve cook were able to continue. sam sturridge took full advantage and gave his side hope with his first bournemouth goal. bournemouth's lewis cook at the chance to equalise with the last kick of the game but he blazed over and it is the young gunners into the fifth round. the draw has been made for the fifth round. chelsea could meet liverpool if liverpool beat shrewsbury in their replay. wayne rooney could come up against his old side manchester united. that is if derby cou nty manchester united. that is if derby county beat northampton in the fourth round replay. the draw for the last 16 of the women's fa cup has also been made, with holders manchester city facing ipswich, who play in the fourth tier.

there are also two all—women's super league ties — liverpool travel to chelsea while bristol city host everton. much more information on those ties on the bbc sport website and app. england cricketers surged to a big victory over south africa today — they won the final test by 191 runs with a day to spare to win the series, 3—1. chasing an unlikely 466 to win, south africa started the day solidly, with rassie van der dussen leading the way. he eventually fell just two runs short of his century off the bowling of mark wood. two more wickets fell, before wood got vernon philander out, in what was his final test match for south africa. the tail didn't put up much resistance. wood with the last wicket, his ninth of the match. it is only england's second test win away from home in four years and the first time they have won three matches in south africa

that is all your support for now. good night. hello, there. wintry weather could cause one or two headaches if you are travelling early on tuesday morning. there is a combination of snow and ice in the forecast affecting some northern and western parts of the uk. showers have already been rattling in from the west. they continue through the early part of the morning. some slightly more persistent rain, sleet, and i have to say, mostly snow running across southern and eastern parts of scotland. across the south—east of england any snowfall will be over higher ground. we could see a covering of snow over the highest ground here and, for wales, certainly, some snowfall across the hills and the mountains. pretty icy conditions too, in northern england. some places could have some lying snow. a similar story for northern ireland. and across scotland, by the time we get to the rush hour, there could be snow lying, even at very low levels through the central belt and,

with those icy conditions this is a combination that could cause some issues. as we go through the day it turns into a fairly straightforward sunshine and showers day. showers most plentiful in the west. by this stage any wintry weather becoming increasingly confined to higher ground. not as many showers further east. but there will be some, blown along on a brisk wind. particularly windy down towards the south of england and the channel islands. temperatures on the face of it not too impressive. 5—8 celsius but, add the strength of that wind and this is what it will feel like. it will feel like it is barely above freezing in many parts of the uk. as we go through tuesday night, we will continue to see showers feeding in from the north—west, still getting some further accumulations of snow i suspect, across higher ground in western scotland. showers, showing signs of fizzling out further south, but what will be another fairly chilly night, so there could be some ice for some to start wednesday morning. wednesday is a quieter day for many, with this little bump in the isobars here, a ridge of high pressure.

quite a temporary feature. but it certainly does mean some drier weather through the day. however, we will see outbreaks of rain pushing in across scotland, some of this rain really quite heavy, actually, across higher ground in the west and still a bit of snow up over the mountains. temperatures on wednesday starting to creep upwards, ranging from six to 11 celsius. as we head towards the end of the week, it is going to turn milderfor all of us but with that we will see some outbreaks of rain at times. that's all from me for now.

i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines... china reports the first virus death in the capital as the country struggles to contain the outbreak. with the new year holiday extended, travel restrictions remain in place. even getting on a beijing subway train has become a surreal experience. workers in full hazmat suits checking every passenger. how a leaked manuscript from john bolton — the former us national security advisor — has renewed calls for witnesses in president trump's impeachment trial. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme... us officials confirm that one of their planes came down in a taliban held province in afghanistan, but they've not
