hello and welcome to bbc news. the army have been called in to help shore up flood defences across west yorkshire, with large parts of the uk expected to be hit by severe rain and wind from storm dennis. the regular troops and reservists have been deployed to ilkley and calderdale. the highways agency has warned of hazardous driving conditions and north wales police has urged people not to go out unless it's absolutely neccessary. matches in the scottish premiership at rangers and motherwell have been called off. there more than 250 flood warnings and alerts in place across the uk, and wind speeds are forecast

to reach 70mph along coastlines. there is also travel disruption with british airways and easyjet cancelling flights across the country with easyjet confirming they have cancelled 234 flights in and out of the uk. helena wilkinson reports. a relative calm before the storm. still clearing up from storm ciara last weekend, residents in the calder valley are bracing themselves for another onslaught. this area has borne the brunt of the bad weather. flooding is expected later, which could further devastate this community. the army has been deployed here in calderdale to help once the storm hits. the first thing they are going to be providing is reassurance reassurance to people that actually, we are doing everything we can to keep them safe during storm dennis.

the second thing is that we're actually, with their engineering experience, to basically check our river walls and reinforce them where there are weaknesses. as well as the army, volunteers are preparing for what is to come. across most of the country, there are severe weather warnings in place. forecasters say that a months worth of rain could fall in some places. this is sidmouth in devon, where storm dennis has already made an entrance. and there is already massive disruption for travellers on trains and at airports. this is gatwick, where passengers are facing cancellations. and it's notjust here at gatwick where there's disruption — thousands of easyjet passengers have had their flights cancelled at airports across the country. and british airways has had to ground a0 of its flights in and out of heathrow when the storm is likely to be at its peak. experts are warning storm dennis could cause more damage to communities already still recovering from last weekend's storm.

helena wilkinson, bbc news, gatwick airport. and for the latest information on storm dennis in your area, you can find more on your local bbc online pages or tune into your local radio station. rescue teams searching for a man who went overboard from an oil tanker off the coast of margate have found a body. lifeboats, the coastguard, and a royal navy warship carried out an extensive search of the area following a distress call this morning. it's believed the call came from a maltese oil tanker anchored off the kent coast. france has recorded the first death from coronavirus in europe, an 80—year—old chinese tourist. only three deaths had previously been reported worldwide outside of mainland china. in china, beijing has ordered everyone returning to the city from holidays to go into quarantine

for m days or risk punishment in the latest attempt to contain the virus. our correspondent nick beake is in hong kong. china has declared war on an invisible killer — sending more doctors as well as soldiers into the worst—affected area. but now the new coronavirus has claimed its first victim outside asia, an elderly chinese man who had travelled to france. translation: last night, i was informed of the death of an 80—year—old patient who had been hospitalised at the bichat hospital since the 25th of january. he was suffering from a coronavirus lung infection. back in china, all those returning to the capital beijing after what's been an extended holiday have been told they must quarantine themselves for two weeks — the latest drastic order. it's not clear if it will apply to foreigners, too. passengers of many nationalities

are still stuck aboard the diamond princess off the coast of japan. 285 people have now tested positive for the virus on the ship, and america says it will remove all of its citizens tomorrow and fly them home. there is no such escape from wuhan, the chinese city where the outbreak began. officials report more people catching the virus and more people dying from it. beijing claims it's acted quickly and decisively to try to stop the spread, but few are willing to predict what the global impact of this crisis will be. nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. in a moment we join viewers on bbc one for a round—up on the day's news with my colleague clive myrie, but first let's return to our lead story now. and the bad weather battery many parts of the country. earlier i spokejim dale, senior risk meteorologist at british weather services. he told me how he has been helping

companies and organisations in the uk prepare for storm dennis. we first noted storm dennis back on monday in actual fact so we got rid of one storm and we were already plotting the next storm. and in between now and then, then and now, we have been updating the various places that commercially we are attached to so sporting arenas particularly and logistics firms etc so that they can then themselves prepare themselves, whether it be safety officers, whether it be the clubs themselves and how they actually prepare for a match so it is all a risk, it is all in the same boat if you like but it is different aspects. they make the final decisions, we just advise them as to what is coming. have a chat with them, communication is very important, making sure that everybody does the right thing at the right time. understood but i wonder, how do you assess the risk? very difficult. it is a bit like saying how long is a piece of string when it is like this because it is ever—changing. we can only do our best. obviously we are looking

at the charts all the time, we are listening, we are observing, we are seeing where the heavier rain is and the stronger winds so all of this is plotted on and then we are trying to, i guess, predict, like a weather forecaster does and put that in place for the location in hand and advise at that point and those places will have critical points by which they will make their decisions so whether they decide to postpone, whether they decide to play a game if you like in a certain tactical way or whether it is a logistics firm say driving whether or not they actually put people out on that day or not. as i say, it is very important to say that they make the decision, not ourselves, we are advisers. no, i understand you. can you just also put the storm into context for us? how does it compare to other storms that you have advised on? yes, well, no storm is ever the same and at this moment in time i would suggest to you that at this moment, for most parts of the uk, this might be classed

as what you might call a standard winter type storm if you like, a lot of wind, a lot of rain, perhaps not too unusual but i think the worst is yet to come, certainly in terms of the wind and the rain, will only build. you have already talked about the river levels and things like that, that is only going to go in one direction so i think this is... it is a storm, it is a winter storm. we have it as an amber storm, i think the met office have got it exactly the same so it is up there and there is a danger to life. don't put yourself in the wrong position is basically what we're saying so watch and wait and make sure you are doing the right thing at the right time.

good evening. a second major storm in less than a week is battering britain. storm dennis has brought heavy rain and gale force winds, with severe weather warnings in place for much of the uk. in west yorkshire the army has been mobilised to help shore up flood defences, with forecasters saying a months worth of rain

could fall in some places. there's also been severe travel disruption. with more details, here's helena wilkinson. amongst the first evidence of damage by storm dennis was here in south wales. this is a village of comeback we re wales. this is a village of comeback were people's homes are already under serious threat. in calderdale and ilkley in west yorkshire, the army has arrived. areas that were hit badly by last weekend's storm we re hit badly by last weekend's storm were ii's rain fell in just 12 hours. they fear the same may happen again. the army, which have been busy putting up barriers this afternoon to strengthen the flood defences. the first thing they will provide is reassurance, reassurance to people that we are doing everything we can to keep them safe during storm dennis. the second thing is that we are actually, with their engineering experience, basically checking the river walls

and reinforcing them whether our weaknesses. at leatherhead in surrey, they are also erecting barriers, some of the worst affected parts of britain could see up to 140 millimetres of rainfall and gusts of up millimetres of rainfall and gusts of up to 80 mph. we are expecting significant impacts across the country. and we fear that the impacts are going to be at least as bad as last weekend and in some cases they will be worse. for many, the half term getaway has ended up with a lesson in travel disruption. easyj et have with a lesson in travel disruption. easyjet have cancelled around 350 flights over the weekend, almost 100 from here at gatwick. at heathrow, 60 flights were grounded, most of them british airways. by late this afternoon, nearly 30 flood warnings we re afternoon, nearly 30 flood warnings were in place across england. with eight weather warnings covering most of the uk, meaning flooding could cause a danger to life. back in west

yorkshire, the army and the environment agency continue to do what they can to protect communities and reassure residents. helena wilkinson, bbc news. phil bodmer is in hebden bridge in west yorkshire for us this evening. first there was storm ciara and now dennis is adding to the problems where you are? i have to say that in the last hour of the weather has deteriorated as storm dennis begins to unleash its might, and this is hebden water, which runs into the river calder about 200 metres from here. the water level is running very fast and it is beginning to come up. this is one of a number of rivers in the calder valley which are under threat of overtopping. last week if i was stood here the water level would be up to my neck and beyond and we are expecting it to rise tonight. there are a number ofamber to rise tonight. there are a number of amber warnings to rise tonight. there are a number ofamberwarnings in to rise tonight. there are a number of amber warnings in place in the calder valley and all of yorkshire along with scotland, south wales and parts of the south—west of the country as well. earlier today we

saw around 100 soldiers from catterick garrison being deployed to help shore up defences along with reservists supporting them. people in the calder valley can only wait, watch and hope tonight for a repeat that does not happen from what happened last weekend. thank you. and for the latest information on storm dennis in your area, just go to your local bbc online pages or tune in to bbc local radio. france has announced the first death from the coronavirus in europe. an 80—year—old chinese tourist fell ill in paris last month. here, eight of the nine people being treated for symptoms have now been discharged from hospital. on the wirral in the north west, all 94 people who've been in quarantine at arrowe park hospital after being evacuated from china are now free to leave. nick beake has more from hong kong. china has declared war on an invisible killer — sending more doctors as well as soldiers into the worst—affected area.

but now the new coronavirus has claimed its first victim outside asia — an elderly chinese man who had travelled to france. translation: last night, i was informed of the death of an 80—year—old patient who had been hospitalised at the bichat hospital since the 25th of january and who was suffering from a coronavirus lung infection. back in china, all those returning to the capital beijing after what's been an extended holiday have been told they must quarantine themselves for two weeks. passengers of many nationalities are still stuck aboard the diamond princess off the coast of japan. 285 people have now tested positive for the virus on the ship and america says it will remove all of its citizens tomorrow and fly them home. there is no such escape from wuhan, the chinese city where the outbreak began. officials have reported more than 2400 new cases

there and 140 new deaths. in the rest of the world we only have 505 cases and two deaths while in china we have more than 66,000 cases. let me be clear. it is impossible to predict which direction this epidemic will take. beijing claims it's acted quickly and decisively to try to stop the spread, but few are willing to predict what the global impact of this crisis will be. nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. china's state railway company has offered to build the entire hs2 high—speed rail line linking london to birmingham, manchester and leeds in just five years. in a letter, seen by building magazine, the china railway construction corporation says it can also deliver the project at a much lower cost. government officials say "preliminary discussions" have taken place, but no "concrete commitments" have been made.

the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, has been knocked out of the labour leadership race to succeed jeremy corbyn. she failed to receive enough support from local constituency parties. rebecca long—bailey, sir keir starmer and lisa nandy have all made it onto the final ballot, with voting open to party members injust over a week. the duchess of cambridge has been speaking about one of the most personal moments of her life, dealing with the birth of herfirst child. appearing on the ‘happy mum, happy ba by‘ podcast, she talks about the pregnancy and the crippling morning sickness that forced her into hospital. here's our royal correspondent, daniela relph. the duchess of cambridge because mckendry was recorded at this nursery in south london. herfocus on improving the lives of families with young children now dominates her royal work. with podcast host, the duchess spoke personally about the duchess spoke personally about the importance of her own stable upbringing. on her three

pregnancies, she said they were not easy. here, leaving hospitalafter being admitted with severe morning sickness after being pregnant with prince george, she described the terrible strain of the condition. lots of people have it far worse but it was definitely a challenge, not just for me but also for your loved ones around you and william did not feel he could do much to help and it is hard for everyone to see suffering without being able to do anything about it. catherine revealed she had used hypno birthing, a breathing and relaxation technique during labour. she was asked about that moment she left hospital in front of the cameras. what was it like knowing there were so what was it like knowing there were so many people outside? it was scary, i will not lie. and for us to be able to share that joy and appreciation with the public, i felt, was really important. but equally it was coupled with a newborn baby and sort of an experience and the uncertainty about

what that held. this ties in with a campaign to get more help with vulnerable families. she said billions are spent fixing the problems in later life, a course she described as crazy. daniela relph, bbc news. there's been a new world record set at the athletics indoor grand prix in glasgow. with all the details, here's joe lynskey. they are two women from the same nation and with the same coach. but in five months, laura myoor and jemma reekie could face each other for olympic gold. boroughmuir is already scotland's european champion and now she is setting up for the greatest stage. she won easily to victory in this 1000 metres, not the world record she hoped for. but a foundation for what is to come. the big one is the summer so that is made on for indoors. back in training tomorrow in the wind and rain. reekie is five years her junior but already has broken two of british records. the latest win and

her rapid rise came here in the 1500 metres. jemma reekie gets the win! it is indoors in the winter that athletes set up for the summer. katarina johnson—thompson used glasgow to make long jump preparations. and without usain bolt, there is a space in tokyo for a new global star. it could be this 20—year—old swede in the pole vault. has he got enough? yes, he has! unbelievable! this is armand duplantis unbelievable! this is armand dupla ntis with a unbelievable! this is armand duplantis with a new world record. i jumped nearly two metres clear of a double—decker bus. he is an athlete with an edge in this, the year when it matters most. joe lynskey, bbc news. that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel and i'll be back with the late news at 10pm. now on bbc one — time for the news where you are. bye for now.

hello. this is bbc news with me, rebecca jones. tensions between the united states and europe have come to the fore at the international security conference in munich. the us secretary of state mike pompeo hit back strongly at accusations that the united states no longer believes in the international community. our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet is in munich, and earlier sent this update. it is day two of the munich security conference,

a conference whose theme this year is westlessness — a world where the west is either absent or increasingly irrelevant. day two has started off with duelling narratives and the us secretary of state says that is not true, "the west is winning and we are winning together." the french president talked about the west weakening. so, where does the truth lie? with us to discuss this is the former secretary of defence from the us. you have been listening to these narratives, is the west winning, is it still in a leading role? i think the discussion has been about western values and western values still are the dominant values through the world. the aspirations of all people to be free, for that kind of liberty to express themselves. so in that context, if you balance that against the autocratic systems, china or russia or turkey,

or any place else, you would say that the western values are still dominant. on a military level, what you are not seeing is the rhetoric is to say we are pulling out and we are not committed but in fact the rhetoric does not reflect the reality, the reality is we are pouring more money into nato and the european theatre than ever before. all of the countries that i have talked to are very happy with the us commitment to their security and to nato's security and so the rhetoric is the us is not as committed but the reality is we are even more committed. if you look at some of the battlefields that you spent a lot of time looking at when you were secretary of defence, whether it is syria, libya or yemen, the united states is not calling the shots any more, it is regional powers and so many regional powers that it makes the situation worse, not better. whenever the united states reduces or diminishes its presence,

other countries move in and they don't necessarily share our values or ideals so that is one of the great paradoxes, that we want to disengage somewhat, not have so many countries so dependent on the united states and yet other countries don't have either the military capacity, the economic prosperity, the international diplomacy to be able to carry the load. the question is, can the eu do more, they are doing more on the military side, they are certainly being encouraged to do more in terms of diplomacy and investment and human interest. so, the united states will... i frankly do not approve of the "unilateralist approach", my background has been multilateralist and that is changing. you are seeing the united states saying we would like more ability to act with allies when we need to but basically to take action

without being encumbered or restricted by other countries. that is the policy of the president and that is basically what is being carried out. william: they're william: they‘ re speaking william: they're speaking to lyse doucet. time for a look at the weather with darren. hello, storm dennis is arriving, the winds have been picking up, the rain has been moving in as well and we will find river levels rising too. there is the storm heading between scotla nd there is the storm heading between scotland and iceland and deepening rapidly which is why the winds have been straightening. all of that has been straightening. all of that has been bringing topics of rain. these are the amber rain warnings from the met office coming during their hills. we lose that one in southern scotla nd hills. we lose that one in southern scotland tomorrow as the weather moves southwards and we pick up in amber ring running for the downs in the south—east. with the heaviest rain over mid in south wales in the

hills. a lot of rain covering the whole of the uk. not as wet for the eastern side of england but it will be windy everywhere, widely 50—60 mph and more in the west around the coast. what your weather arriving in west scotland could become squally in the day. temperatures in double figures. we will find that downpour in scotland and northern ireland, showers filing overnight, mainly affecting internet wells. heavy rain over the hills in the west threatening some further whitening as well. it... showers will be wintry over the hills but exceptionally mild across much of england and wales where it is a wet 01’ england and wales where it is a wet or windy start to tomorrow. that rain band edges down towards the south—east and things may come down for a little bit but there are lots of showers packing in from the north—west, wintry over the high ground in scotland. the winds during the day probably easing off or a touch for england and wales so not

as windy but the stronger winds will push back into scotland and northern ireland. those temperatures will be dropping away as we lose that wetter weather and introduce showers, colder air. scotland and northern ireland only six or 7 degrees and here as we get the centre of storm dennis getting closer during sunday evening and night, we may find a squeeze in the winds, gusting 70 or 80 mph in the north of scotland. as we move into monday itself the store intending to head away, strong to gale force west to south—westerly winds. that brings sunshine and showers, may be some longer spells of rain that will continue into tuesday as well.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... this is bbc news. this i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 5pm. troops are deployed to west yorkshire as heavy rain and strong winds batter parts of the uk. forecasters predict a months worth of rain in some places. dozens of flood warnings are in place across britain. hundreds of flights are cancelled, trains services are disrupted, and sporting fixtures called off. the first death from coronavirus in europe is recorded in france. people returning to beijing risk punishment if they don't go into quarantine for 14 days.

phone, broadband and pay—tv service providers are now obliged to tell customers when their contracts are coming to an end, under new rules. the duchess of cambridge says her "amazing granny" inspires her parenting, in a new podcast. scientists are ramping up their efforts in the search for signs of alien life. experts at the set! institute — an organisation dedicated to tracking extraterrestrial intelligence — are developing state—of—the—art techniques to detect signatures from space that indicate the possibility of extraterrestrial existence. these so—called "technosignatures" can range from the chemical composition of a planet's atmosphere, to laser emissions, to structures orbiting other stars. atmosphere, to laser emissions, andrew siemion is from the university of california's search for extra—terrestrial intelligence

institute. i asked him what the chances are, of finding extra—terrestrial life. this is the hardest question and it is very difficult for me to say and i think if anybody told you a particular percentage, you probably shouldn't believe them but what i can say is that whatever the chances were in the previous decade, the chances are a thousand times greater because of the tools we have available. that's interesting because there is going to say, traditionally the search for aliens, for want of a better word, has been seen as a bit of a fringe science, so just tell us a little bit more about why this search and what you are advocating it should be taken more seriously? yes, that is true but in the last five years we have discovered something really amazing about the universe and that is that all stars have planetary systems. just a few decades ago we had absolutely no idea if our solar system was an anomaly or if planets were common and now we know

without a doubt that planets are incredibly common so it has really sharpened the question of whether or not there is life and we have very powerful it means nowt to try and detect advanced life and that is exactly what we're going to be doing over the coming decades. tell us a little bit more about the signs that might suggest there are life? so, technology that we produce as human beings produces electromagnetic emissions, radio signals or light that is very different from the kind of light that we see from natural astrophysical objects and using computer algorithms we can sift through the signals that we see when we point a telescope at the sky and we can tell the difference between the kind of signals that technology produces and the kind that the natural world produces. am i right that you are not discounting the possibility that there might be massive space stations being built out there,

a bit like the death star in star wars or is that putting it too far? i think we can leave to our imagination what the structure might be, but it is absolutely the case that whilst one way of detecting extra terrestrial intelligence is using the kind of emission that technology produces, another way is to look for how that structure or how that technology might affect its environment and one way that we can find it is to watch as that structure might pass in front of a star, watch for the depth of light ——dip of light that we might see in the stars, the structure in front of it and that is absolutely one of the strategies that we are employing. fascinating, a final question. what is your thought, are we alone? i don't think we are, no. in an infinite universe, the idea that we are the only intelligent technologically capable life in the universe would be much more

bizarre than if we weren't. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's karthi gna nasegaram. good evening. the premier legaue's first mid—winter break means there are fewer games than usual this weekend but burnley battled through the terrible weather to beat southampton 2—1. the win moves burnley up to 10th place with the prospect of playing in europe for the second time in three years now a distinct possiblity. rhia chohan reports. separated only by goal difference, both teams at st mary's were eyeing up both teams at st mary's were eyeing upa top both teams at st mary's were eyeing up a top half spot in the table. it got off to a bizarre start, barely a couple of minutes and ashley westwood sunk this towards the near post. wherever danny ings thought it was going, over the line was not it. she'd have to hold his hands up for this one, regardless of the conditions. southampton‘s star player did make amends with his 15th goal of the season. the saints seem

to be doing a betterjob of mastering the weather in the first half, but it was all in vain. burnley substitute delivering the biggest blow, ending his goal drought of over 500 days. a moment of magic from the check, giving those who brave the elements all the way to the south coast something to celebrate. there were moments that could have the second half and got away. we try to stick to the game plan and make the equaliser, it was 0k plan and make the equaliser, it was ok but in the end not good enough. the second half, because not aggressive enough and we didn't find the right solutions for being under pressure. really tough game, we had to dig in again like we do. we force a result today. big moments when we needed them. it is very difficult winning premier league games with

gnome, very difficult at home as well, but statistically away. we have done enough today in the fashion of tactical understanding and defensive understanding to take all three points. so a move to tenth place in the table for burnley and a boost to their hopes of playing in european competition again. it's top versus bottom in the day's other game with leaders, liverpool away at norwich. the gap between the two sides has never been wider at this stage of a premier league seaons — 55 points are the difference at the moment. the race to get to the premier league is as intense as ever but west bromwich albion missed their chance to extend their lead at the top of the championship— after being held to a 2—2 draw by fellow promotion rivals nottingham forest. michael redford reports. if you are going to light up the championship, you have to cope with tough conditions. west brom have been the best that the season and are closing in on a return to the

premier league after two seasons away. forest have been away for two decades, but have been flying high this campaign, thanks largely to their defensive resolve. that was nowhere to be seen as january loan signing callum robinson scored his first goalfor signing callum robinson scored his first goal for west signing callum robinson scored his first goalfor west brom. signing callum robinson scored his first goal for west brom. the signing callum robinson scored his first goalfor west brom. the home side do normally concede, they did so eight minutes later, kyle bartley unable to defend this cross. west brom learned from the error. for didn't. west brom back in front and seemingly on their way to a vital three points, until a minute into stoppage time, cash did this. a stunning strike and a priceless point rescued. or was it? in the final seconds, west brom thought they'd got a winner, only for the flag to be for offside. points eventually shared, the race for the premier league is far from eventually shared, the race for the premier league is farfrom over. second placed leeds beat bristol city 1—0 as they aim for automatic promotion to the premier league. bottom of the table barnsley

shocked third placed fulham with a 3—0 win. both barnsley‘s goals came from former fulham player cauley woodrow. it was a 1—1 draw between birmingham and promotion hopefuls, brentford.// while millwall beat promotion—chasing preston north end 1—0. relegation threatened wigan drew 2—2 with cardiff city. in the scottish premiership bottom place hearts produced a two—goal comeback against 10—man hamilton to salvage 2—2 draw. hearts are still a point behind second from bottom hamilton. in the days's other match ross county scored a late equaliser at home to stjohnstone. manchester city say they will appeal against what they call uefa's "flawed" and "prejudicial" punishment, a two—year ban from european competition and a £25 million fine. the club has been accused of breaking financial fair play rules by inflating sponsorship deals to cover their expenditure. it leaves questions over the immediate futures of manager pep guardiola and some

of their leading players. the biggest problem, manchester city have is the bad name. once you become a bad name in football, a lot of players don't want to join that bad name. they want a healthy club, a club who's trying to do things the right way and that's something that manchester city will have to deal with. and what of guardiola, then? do you think this could be his last season? yeah, ido. i think, if they didn't win the champions league, i think it would be possibly him possibly walking out. because if there is the feeling that manchester city don't have the money behind them, manchester city needs an overhaul of their squad, they need to catch liverpool up. there's quite a distance between the two clubs. there is an ageing squad that manchester city have and they will want to sort of get back to speed. and will pep feel like he's going to get that backing with everything that's going on around the club? so the implications of the ban for city could be huge. is there any chance that this will be overturned by the court of arbitration for sport?

manchester city feel as though they are being victimized in terms of how they are being singled out for breaches when other clubs have not been, and they are looking at psg in particular who they had a case brought against them by uefa that was they were ruled to have not not broken any rules. and then uefa looked at that again and said, no, they have broken rules. we need to bring it again. and they missed their own deadline. so cas threw that case out. so psg effectively received no punishment. take a quick look at some of the day's other stories... kyren wilson has knocked ronnie o'sullivan out of the welsh open at the semi final stage. o'sullivan was 4—2 up at one stage, but wilson fought back to pull off a 6—5 victory. he'll play either shaun murphy or yan bingtao in the final.

that match is at 7 o' clock this evening. meanwhile world number one rory mcilroy is two shots off the lead going into day three at the genesis invitational in california. he'll tee off in a couple of hours time. american matt kuchar is in the lead on nine under par. england's jodie ewart shadoff was tied for the lead going into day three of the australian open, but she had a nightmare round and is now nine shots further back going into the final day. south korea's inbee park is top of the leaderboard. gus kenworthy has won his first world cup gold since switching allegiance from the united states to compete for great britain. kenworthy took the ski half—pipe title in calgary, making him the first british man to win the event. in 2014 he claimed the olympic silver medal in slopestyle at the games in sochi.

to rugby union's premiership where leicester, who are in the unusually low position of 11th, have gotjust their third win of the season. they beat wasps 18—9 at welford road — telusa veainu with the second of their two tries — the full back running the length of the pitch to score. leicester stay second from bottom — with only saracens below, because of their points deduction. here are the rest of saturday's premiership results.. london irish won 29 points to 15 at harlequins, saracens beat third place sale 36—22 and bath edged to a thrilling 22—21 win at worcester. edinburgh are top of the pro 14 conference b after a 14—9 win over scarlets. matt scott broke clear for the second of their two tries before half—time. they couldn't add to the score in the second half but stood firm for the win.

other results from today... laura muir gave the glasgow crowd plenty to cheer at the indoor grand prix by winning the 1,000 metres although she missed out on a world record time. muir, who is based in glasgow, had set her sights on beating the 21—year—old world record but was just outside of it. i was iwasa i was a little bit down on the 400, that last bit was so sore. ijust wa nted that last bit was so sore. ijust wanted to try and run as hard as i could and i think for where i'm at, i'm happy with that. i'd have loved to have broken that world record, where else better to do a sheet than

here, almost but not quite. jemma reekie continued her sensational start to 2020 by winning the 1500 metres. she had already broken three british indoor records this month and produced a blistering final lap to finish in four minutes, 4.07 seconds. i'm really happy. i knew it would be a really good grace to when and to haveit a really good grace to when and to have it on my home track in the crowd we re have it on my home track in the crowd were amazing, yeah. the time, a bit down in new york. the put that down to the travelling of the number of ra ces ? down to the travelling of the number of races? i think it is about how the race worked out today and i always go out to try and run a personal best, was opened yet another record today but sometimes you have to be happy with the win. after missing out on last years world championships, jessie knnight was a surprise winner in the 400 metres. the teacher came home in a personal

best time of 51.57 seconds. i'm quite lost for words. i sorta broke and i was winning, i felt so strong so i went with it. i don't know. winter training hasjust gone so well in comparison to last year, so well in comparison to last year, so it was just believing that i had it in me. i've got a great training group and they just it in me. i've got a great training group and theyjust me along. so over the moon. jamaica's shelly—ann fraser—pryce win 60m gold ina time 7.16 seconds . she just pipped murielle ahoure of the ivory coast who was second in the field events, armand duplantis broke his own pole vault world record by clearing 6.18 metres. the usa—born swede had only beaten his previous best a week earlier. duplantis broke the record with his first attempt in glasgow, and received £23,000 for the achievement. the 20—year—old who goes by the nickname mondo, is coached by his american father greg, who was also a pole vaulter.

there is so many things are going to this, so many years of hard work that it this, so many years of hard work thatitis this, so many years of hard work that it is really computer, but i guess when that it is really computer, but i uess when ou're that it is really computer, but i guess when you're doing it right it seems simple. these meats are very important to get technical things done and figure out the small little details for when you want to add that perfect jump at details for when you want to add that perfectjump at the right time, which is the major championship meet. so i take these one at a timing triangle 110% every time. hopefully the results show. his father wasn't in glasgow because duplantis's sister is also a pole vaulter and she was competing as well today! plenty more about the new star of athletics on the bbc sport website — this is his first full professional season. bbc.co.uk/sport now it is time for the film review.

hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hi, mark, what do we have this week? award season is out of the way. we have sonic the hedgehog. we also have another adaptation of emma, this time with a full stop at the end. and the new film first love, a valentine's offering with a difference. are you saying sonic the hedgehog is not up for an award? not an oscar winner, not necessarily so. did you ever play the game? i'm afraid not. i'm not good at video games. that's fine because you can go in open minded. so, console game character taken out of his environment, sent to earth in order to get away from evilforces, teams up with a likeable sheriff but soon finds himself the subject

of the attention of a very evil scientist played byjim carrey, never knowingly understated. here's a clip. i'm going to give you five seconds to tell me where it is! five! i don't know what you're talking about. four... hey, tough guy, i'm a cop! and you're threatning an officer. how can you threaten somebody who never existed ? three... come on, wrack your brain! you might be able to come up with some lame excuse to go on living in two... one... wait! don't hurt him! screams now weirdly enough, that reaction, when the first trailers came out a bunch of fans of the game said that was completely wrong, too weirdly human, his teeth are scary, and the producers went "ok,

we will listen to this and redesign the character and make him more like you know him." the last time that happened was with cats. they changed it and cats came out and it was terrible. in the case of sonic, they changed it and you know what? it's ok. i won't make claims for it being a good or great movie. jim carrey does what he does which is to do everything like it's turned up to 15. it's pretty much what you would expect in terms of a game to film adaptation in as much of taking a character and put it in a new environment. but it's not awful and if you think about the producers, super mario and street fighter, it's not that level of bad. it is, and i mean this in the best

possible sense, bearable. laughter i love when you say things on the post. i've seen a few clips and i actually laughed a couple times. only a few months ago people were talking about cats as an award contender. and sonic the hedgehog is way better. this version of emma does have a full stop after. i'm curious why. this is the final version of the period piece? this is a new version. it's basically playing up the screwball comedy elements.

we have as emma, anya taylor—joy who was so brilliant in the witch. she makes him a pretty unlikable in kind of an engaging way. there's a reason it has been adapted to me time, it is an indestructible text. it's so clever, funny, witty... she is quite an unlikable character. she is, and many adaptations and take those edges of her. i think this plays up that spikyness, but it's at the centre of something which is kind of a much more immediate confection. it's very bright, it's beautifully dressed, and it's a beautiful looking film. it does change the sense of tone of the novel, it does play up. there are some great performances. mia goff plays harriet who emma takes under her wing and tries to educate and fix her up. she placed her almost as a schoolkid, it's almost like

a playground so there an element of caricature that's been brought to this. it's got great use of music, it's got a great task. ——great ensemble cast. i think it will go down very well with the crowd. i laughed all the way through and i've seen lots of adaptations of emma. austin is not laugh out loud humour in the past, it kind of rye and eyebrow raising. i enjoyed it,. did you enjoy first love? idid. it is by takashi miike. it is a valentines day love story. it opens with a decapitated head rolling into frame and it's a story about a young boxer who told that he is terminally ill so therefore he loses his fear.

he then gets mixed up with a young woman who he saves and then they're involved with a plot involving yakuzas, corrupt cops, boxing, things about honour and death and bloodshed. i'm already exhausted! all thrown together. at one point it even turns into a cartoon. here's a clip.

watching a ta kashi watching a takashi miike a film as being like hit over the head by exportation cinema. he is an extraordinary film—maker, this is his 103rd film. if you like is that kind of sensation, it's violent, it's crazy, it's romantic, it's exploited and all those things. and it is an alternative valentines movie. it's completely the opposite of emma. i'm not recommending it for you because i don't think you like it, but if you're a fan of this director you'll know what's going be in it. this brings us to the subject, parasite. clearly the best thing out in

cinema. itjust won the oscar for best film, first ever foreign language film to do so. you liked it too? i really did, even though there's a couple moments of elements of blood where i had to look away but i thought it was a clever story, so interesting, really well written. what genre would you say is in? this is where i struggle! i struggled to describe it! social satire, above anything. but with a ghost story element in it, with some moments of horror, also family melodrama mixed in their and is visually very striking. it has the most extraordinary soundtrack. there's so much going on and i've now seen it four times and it's coming into cinemas after it's finished its run in a black and white version. the director said he thinks the black and white version

makes the shades of grey even more pronounced. i'm going to see it a fifth time because i think it's perfect. i'm interesting to see what that will do to it and you're right about the score. the music is astonishing. it's a shame as men picked up a more because the music is amazing. if you haven't seen it, go and see without talking about it because such is the best way. i have not said any spoilers to anyone. very tight—lipped. dvd. farmageddon. i think are the if you look at a movie like this, the thing that's amazing like it, you can watch it for, five, six times and every time

you would see jokes you may not have seen the first time around. i'm the oldest person i know and i absolutely loved it. the whole team are remarkable. they are a team, and i think they're great. thank you very much, see you next time and thanks very much for watching. enjoy your cinema going. storm dennis is arriving, the winds have been picking up, the rain has been moving in as well. we'll find river levels rising too. there is the storm, it is heading between scotland and iceland and it is deepening rapidly which is why the winds have been strengthening and all that cloud has been bringing with it some outbreaks of rain, too. it is the rain that may well have the greater impact. these are the amber rain warnings from the met office covering the hills. we will lose that one in southern scotland tomorrow as the wetter weather moves southwards and we pick up an amber rain warning for the downs in the south—east.

with the heaviest rain likely to be over mid and south wales in the hills. we are certainly seeing a lot of rain here already, we have rain pretty much covering the whole of the uk. it is not as wet for the eastern side of england but it will be windy everywhere, widely, 50 to 60 mph, more in the west around the coast. some wetter weather arriving in the north—west of scotland, could be squally and thundery it was the end of the day, temperatures in double figures. we will find after that sundry downpour in scotland and northern ireland showers following overnight as the rain is mainly affecting england and wales and it does develop widely again. again, heavy rain over the hills in the west, threatening further flooding. it does turn colder in scotland and northern ireland, with the showers wintry over the hills but exceptionally mild over much of england and wales. a wet and windy start to tomorrow. that rain band edges down to was the south—east and things may come down for a little bit

but there are lots of showers packing in from the north—west, again wintry overly high ground in scotland. the winds during the day, probably easing off a touch for england and wales, not as windy but the stronger winds will push back into scotland and northern ireland. those temperatures be dropping away as we lose that wetter weather and introduce the showers, colder air, so scotland and northern ireland only six or 7 degrees. here, as we get the centre of storm done is getting closer during sunday evening and sunday night, we may well find a squeeze in the winds gusting at 70 or 80 mph in the north of scotland. as we move into monday itself, the storm tending to head away, we have some strong gale force westerly winds which will bring sunshine and showers but rain will continue into tuesday as well.
