hello, i'm marc edwards with your sport. the australian open is under way. the first tennis grand slam of the year is taking place at melbourne park, and it was a day of mixed results for the brits involved. there was a good win for emma raducanu. the 2021 us open champion cruising into the second round despite an injury scare coming into the tournament. harriet dart, though, lost to swiss 32nd seed, jil teichmann. on the men's side, rising star jack draper was beaten by spanish great rafael nadal in four sets, and kyle edmund is also out. but cameron norrie had no such troubles — the british number one ranked 12 in the world seeing off french wild card entry, luca van ashe in straight sets.

norrie has been in great form so far this season — this is now his seventh win of the year, although surprisingly, it's only the second time he's got to this stage in five attempts. dan evans and andy murray will aim tojoin norrie and raducanu in the second round today. evans is up against the argentinian, facundo bagnis, and three—time grand slam champion murray faces a tough task against last year's wimbledon runner—up matteo berretini. murray has beaten him, berrettini has had his numbers lately. he has big weapons, huge serve, massive strike, has done well in australia and the past a couple of times. but murray has said in his pretournament press conferences that he feels he's the best prepared that he's been in a long time. he feels like he's moving better than never, he feels like he's than ever, he feels like he's hitting the ball as well as any time, and also, i think he feels some of the matches he's played against berrettini, he's learnt a lot of information

he can take forward into this match. novak djokovic is getting ready for his first appearance at the australian open for two years. the 35—year—old serbian, who's won the tournament nine times, missed last year's event because of his covid—19 vaccination status and subsequent deportation from australia. djokovic faces spain's roberto carballes baena in round one, with fans in melbourne excited for his return. definitely need him in. i think covid's, we're a bit past now, but unfortunate what happened to him last year. it's good to have him back. he's my favourite player, so that's really good. i'm glad that he's playing this year. i think he's probably. the most likely to win because i think he's got a slightly easier half. i i'd like to see them to play in the final. | afterfour weeks in his new role as the england men's head coach, steve borthwick has named his squad for the six nations. high profile omissions include billy vunipola, jonny may and jack nowell.

borthwick has though confirmed that owen farrell will captain the side. that's despite the saracens player currently serving a three—match ban for a high tackle. farrell has been cleared to play in england's opener against scotland, and the new head coach doesn't see too many problems in picking him. last week, i was informed he's available for selection for the start of the six nations. myjob is to select and coach the players that are available to me. the disciplinary process is dependent on that, i that we all recognise and agree that that's the right way. it'ss right for me to be voicing an opinion on it. it's right for me to be voicing an opinion on it. liverpool take on wolves in their fa cup third round replay tomorrow, looking to get their season back on track after defeats to brentford and brighton in the league. they're currently ninth in the premier league table and their managerjurgen klopp says it's going to take a while for his side's problems to heal.

it's like when you have... whatever. — a broken leg or something like that. everyone wants to hear it. unfortunately, you need a couple of weeks, sometimes months, until you're ready. nobody wants to hear it. we have to make sure we make the steps. the only thing i want is to fix the situation. that's all. that's all the sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and on the main news stories for you at the top of the hour straight after this programme.

let's get 2023 started in style. welcome to las vegas, where there's lights, sounds and a whole lotta shakin�* going on. uh, not sure this is what they meant, though. did that make you feel better? trust me, it made me feel everything. yes, everyjanuary, the tech world heads to the massive consumer electronics show spread throughout the las vegas convention center and surrounding hotels. it's great to be here, back in our studio overlooking part of the show. yeah, only part, though,

because this place is big. how big? very big. to give you an idea of how huge, i'll tell you what, should we give them a whistlestop tour? i'll go that way, you go that way, i'll meet you halfway around. deal. all of the halls have pretty spectacular stands in, and you even get a bit of a theme in each one. this is the north hall and i'm getting health care vibes from this place. here at the venetian expo is my favourite bit, eureka park, where some startups get small stands to set out their big ideas. the west hall is shiny and new and this is where all the car stuff is. and now, we're in the central hall to try out some haptic gloves that mean when you touch things in virtual reality, you can feel them. here, shake my hands. hello! i can feel you! that's so weird. you're tickling me. i am! have a little tickle. do you fancy a jenga battle? sure, why not?

all right. you could feel the blocks as you pick them up! laughs that is really incredible. you could drop them on your hand and feel...oh! as i grip this book over here, i can actually feel resistance. so, as i try and squeeze it, i'm being stopped, which really gives me the impression that there is a solid thing between my hands! it's the air pressure that's used in there at 135 sensing points, so you can feel every little bit of movement. ooh, my fingers are doublejointed. we've forgotten to do thejenga. this is much more fun, actually. oh, we have. let's move this out the way and play the game. yeah, ok. i've got to fix this. you're not doing it right. here we go. 0h...oh, 0k. that's actually a bit tricky. i tell you what. .. i don't have as much control as i should. i tell you what i do when i lose...is that. oh, no. oh, no! laughs i'm going to prod you for that! so, the use cases for this are suggested to be, first of all, training,

so you can train people to use equipment and they get an idea of how it feels. also, design — you could design a new car, for example, and run your fingers over the body before it actually exists. big leap forward for haptics, would you say? yeah, i would. big difference from anything i've used in the past. it really is good to see ces getting back up towards its pre—pandemic size. the question, of course, is whether these big expos have permanently changed as a result of covid. in amongst all of the screens and the cars and all the other weird stuff here at ces, there are plenty of home appliances, too. some of them can roam around by themselves these days. but have you ever wondered how they find their way about? well, many of the modern ones use something called simultaneous location and mapping. for short, slam. modern domestic and industrial robots are notjust bump and go, you know. they need to build up a map of where they live to make sure

each spring cleaning isn't a brand—new voyage of rediscovery that means they might forget the occasional nook and cranny. one common way to scan your surroundings is lidar, which uses a spinning laser to determine the distance to everything around you. but lidar has its shortcomings. the problem with lidar is if you want high performance, they're extremely expensive, can be thousands of dollars. so that's not going to cut it for commercial products at all in the consumer space. but then, the low—cost ones, which you see on many of the consumer products out there just are very unreliable. they degrade over time and they also capture a tiny amount of spatial information compared to the amount of information you capture with a camera. we're able to access that spatial information, but using very low—cost processes and silicon. this vacuum robot is running new software developed by slamcore, which builds up a map using vision instead of lidar. this allows the software

to more intelligently work out notjust how far it is from stuff, but what that stuff is, and whether it's likely to stay there. when it knows where it is, it needs to know what are the obstacles in its way, where is it free space, is it going to crash if it tries to go through a certain space? the next level of spatial intelligence is knowing how the world around you is shaped just from a geometry point of view, so knowing what's occupied space and what's not. once the software's labelled everything, it can do different things with the information. for example, if it's committing the layout of your flat to memory, it might want to remove objects it knows aren't permanent, like books, other stuff that's strewn around, or even people that it's encountered on its travels...like me. don't worry about the look of this particular vacuum bot. at the moment, it's wearing a low—cost stereo camera and inertial sensor on its head. but the plan is for these to be integrated in to

vacuum cleaners, drones, and other autonomous devices in the future. the point here is that a few low—cost peripherals are all devices like this would need to collect enough data to feed owen's software, which is the real breakthrough here. a really small, tight, neural network lightweight enough to be stored in the device that can label everything and work out how to respond to different types of objects. one of the big benefits of a robot or a machine knowing the objects it's encountering is it may choose to modify its behaviour depending on the type of object that is. so, for example, a drone may see a person and want to keep a really wide berth because there could be a safety risk there. but if it's going to get through a door or somewhere a bit more narrower where there's only inanimate objects around, then it can have a much smaller safety margin to be able to make it through. plenty of ways, then, for a new way of navigating the world to help the world to help you to...clean up.

lara: honestly, this is the first time i've ever seen him do the chores. another big theme this year has been tech to help disabled people. paul carter has toured the show floor with one woman who's created a way to help people with low vision see the world differently. paul: this is rebecca. she's visually impaired and navigating herfirst ces. she's the creator of an app to help other low—vision people navigate the world better. i have a rare disease called albinism, which basically means that my body doesn't create enough pigment or melanin, which is why my hair, skin and eyes are the colour that they are. in addition to that, it affects the development and the maintenance of proper vision. as a result of that, i have really an uncorrectable

impairment where no amount of glasses or lasik or really any current treatments can aid the problems that i have. and what i found growing up and as a student is that there really was no assistive technology that was appropriate for someone like me. the app makes it easier for people with low vision to see things around them. it uses customisable smartphone camera filters that users can change to suit their own unique visual impairment. because i have an impairment, it's really easy to fall into the trap of saying, well, i know what's best for these people. i know what they need or what they want. our rebokeh app spent about a year in beta with about 100 beta users, where our sole goal was to solicit feedback from people with vision impairment, optometrists, ophthalmologists. and over the course of that year, we added or adjusted more than ten different features. how might the app be useful for looking at something like this? yeah, so i can totally show you. so, this is actually really hard

for me to differentiate, especially because there's so much going on right here. there's just a lot of images. so, what we can do is actually point it up and with one finger — it's meant to be one—handed — so with just one finger, i can kind of zoom up and in. so, let's pick one to look at, maybe this picture of a computer and whatnot. what we can do is we can actually add some contrast... oh, wow. ..to make things a little bit brighter. the lights a little bit lighter. we can also add actually colour filters. so, this particular screen has a lot of green on it. so, there's a whole lot that we can kind of do to... see, now, everything's kind of green. ..but to kind of make certain colours or certain features pop out a little bit, you know, now i'm kind of understanding what this company does, whereas before, it was just a whole lot of chaotic kind of images. in a way, it's quite a simple process, but i can imagine it's quite liberating just being able to instantly be able to point your phone at something and see something differently.

absolutely. for a lot of people, it's the difference between being able to read a menu at, you know, starbucks or mcdonald's when it's up in the back and needing to ask somebody else for help. and, you know, if you're by yourself, sometimes that's totally an independence issue. the app is currently available for iphone and ipad, but rebecca also has plans to make rebokeh a community for visually impaired people. there's about 25 million people in the united states alone with some type of moderate, uncorrectable vision impairment. and we're super excited to be able to also showcase and bring awareness to that population, to give those people a space to come and gather and say, we have our own very unique set of life experiences and needs and challenges and wants, and to give them an opportunity to come together with people more similar to them to talk about those things is really what we ultimately want rebokeh to grow into.

now, this is the shortcut of click from ces. if you'd like to see more from this place, then you can check out the full—length version, which is waiting for you right now on iplayer. so, that's it from vegas. well, should we do some more next week? yeah, why don't we? why not? thanks for watching. see you then. bye— bye. this week on the travel show... ..mastering the tile with a style in morocco. you're doing a greatjob! am i doing a greatjob? well, i tried. 0k, down the hatch. nick tries out a 1,000—year—old delicacy in turkey. and we're talking tortoise on the coast of senegal. why is he called

bill, can i ask? i because he arrived the month where bill clinton was elected. so, you are named after a president! hello, and welcome to morocco and the historic city that's sometimes known as the country's cultural capital, fez. from its medinas and mosques to its madrassas, fez is steeped in cultural heritage — so much so that the medina of fez is listed as a world heritage site.

mind—blowing! absolutely incredible. this is the attarine madrasa. it goes back to the 14th century, and it is perhaps the best example of what they call zellij. zellij is a style of mosaic tile work made from individually hand—chiselled pieces that is found all across morocco, as well as parts of tunisia, algeria and southern spain. the detail — tiny, tiny detail. the art form dates back over 1,000 years, but the more intricate and colourful designs, which have become synonymous with moroccan architecture, were developed in the 14th century.

despite its mixed origins and geographical spread, experts like fouad believe that zellij is a vital part of his country's history and culture. authorities here have long wanted to formalise zellij�*s moroccan connection. it's not uncommon for countries

to do this by gaining un—recognised intangible cultural heritage status. for example, the french recently achieved this with the humble baguette, as have jamaica with reggae music. but in the case of zellij, morocco went a stage further and insisted on having it patented. it's part of a drive to protect the country's assets from cultural appropriation and commercialisation. i travelled to a traditional workshop just outside the medina to find out just what goes in to this ancient process. how many of these do you think he does, every... every day? yeah. so, every day, it depends if, for example... he can make up to 1,000 pieces a day. has he ever banged his fingers? they chat

no, never. never? sayyid's craft skills were learnt as a boy — and some zellij producers are worried that these techniques will not be passed down to future generations. and that's partly because pay and working conditions are not as attractive as in other industries. sayyid earns around 12 euros a day. so, as you've seen, he's doing this by hand as well. yeah, look at that. nothing else. wow — and, again, this is exactly the same way they've been doing this for hundreds of years. apprenticeships can take up to a decade. and for most people, it's a lifelong dedication. so, we do have our artisans who work as a couple, ok? the first one who is the one responsible of cutting the tile, as you're seeing here, with this specific type of stencil, ok? you just take the shape of it, the design of it. he starts cutting it one by one, piece by piece, with a sharp hammer.

i don't know who i think i am, but i'm going to have a go at trying to create a shape from this. and apparently you have to sit down exactly the way this guy was sitting down before. so, here we go. it can take six months just to achieve the correct sitting position, let alone try to cut and shape the tiles. you're doing a greatjob! am i doing a greatjob? oh, there we go. well, i tried. after assembling all the pieces, we'll bring them all the way to another artisan who is responsible of putting the pieces next to each other. every single piece, it's like a type of puzzle. so, what does othmane think about morocco's successful claim of ownership of zellij? morocco is very well known

when it comes to its culture and traditions, and the heritage, the culture of the heritage that we have, is typically moroccan, and those artisans that we're talking about are typically moroccan as well. as for the future, it's hoped that the craft — with its new protected status — will survive, thrive, and proudly proclaim "made in morocco". finally this week, we're off to west africa on the trail of one nature lover who's celebrating 30 years of protecting some of the region's most vulnerable wildlife. some call him the father of the turtles and his work may have already rescued one species of terrapin one species

of terrapin from extinction. we sent emeline nsingi nkosi to meet him close to his home in senegal. about three hours�* journey south, away from the traffic and chaos of senegal�*s capital, the dust and aridity begins to give way to greenery. mangroves and, crucially, seagrass start appearing here along the coastline and the wildlife becomes more abundant and precious for all number of reasons. turtles, tortoises and terrapins have been a big part of west african traditions and symbolisms, and in some tribes, they are revered as being a good luck charm, a good omen — which is why it's so surprising that it's so surprising that their numbers have been going down so much. all five species of sea turtles that nest on these beaches are endangered, thanks to fishing activities and pollution, but this man's made it his mission to save them. i'm going to put a tag and after

that, we are going to let it go. oh, let me remove that little sand for you. now, you can breathe clearly! why the tagging — i mean, why is it done? with that, we can track the migratory pattern for the animals. when we know that, we are going to be more accurate in the strategy we need to implement in order to save this species. ah! because the more you know about the species, the more you are going to be able to save them. ifeel like i need to hold my breath. oh, breathe in! does that hurt or is thatjust like getting your ears pierced? yeah, it's going to hurt, but it's going to... save your life at the same time? yeah. tomas is about to celebrate 30 years of working with turtles in senegal. his work has brought him awards and recognitions from around the world. he's so gentle with it. i mean, he's — you can see that these turtles actually are his babies.

that's quite an impressive sight — i've never seen it and i'm sure all of these people haven't either. everyone literallyjust ran down to the beach and see this release. on the outskirts of dakar, in the back yard of his dad's old farm, tomas has built this village of the tortoises. it's popular with tourists and school groups, but it's also a hospital for sick and injured turtles. you see the remains of the place where they dig or they draw a hole in order to put a rope to attach the turtle. wait, why was a rope attached to the turtle? yeah, because when you have them in captivity and you don't want them to dig in the middle of your lawn... oh, no! ..you want to have it like a rope in order to control the animals. but now, tomas is taking me to see the head honcho here. this is bill.

so, does bill know you? no... would you say that he...? usually, turtles are not like dogs. they don't celebrate you like my dog celebrates me when i come back at home. ok. but at the same time... and that is frustrating because i spend more time and more energy serving them than my dog. laughs. that is the reality. he's between 70—80 years old, and he and tomas go way back. why is he called bill, can i ask? because he arrived the month where bill clinton was elected. so, you are named after a president. laughs. i hope you feel the weight of your name. yeah! you don't hear much about terrapins and tortoises, but tomas has dedicated his life trying to correct that and make sure that they don't go extinct. and you know what? i've got a feeling that he just might win.

hello again. well, it's been a pretty bitter start to the new working week, and we've got more of that to come over the next few days. right now, we're seeing snow showers pile in across northern and western areas — that will lead to some icy stretches, but as well, after the weather's been so wet recently, we're seeing some seepage from fields with wet roads. you can imagine with the widespread frost heading into tuesday morning, we're looking at probably quite extensive and dangerous ice — both under—tyre and underfoot as we head into tuesday morning. now, those snow showers will continue to affect northern and western scotland, for northern ireland, the northwest of both england and wales, with further accumulations over the hills. maybe 5—10cm in places, and there will also be some accumulations at low levels, too. after that really cold start, even though most areas will actually have lots of sunshine through the day, temperatures won't get much above freezing. and we've got more of that really cold weather to come over the next few days — you have to wait until the weekend before the weather turns a lot milder, with temperatures into double figures.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... a constitutional showdown in the uk, as british prime minister rishi sunak says he'll block the gender recognition bill passed by the scottish parliament. no survivors, but many questions after sunday's fatal plane crash in nepal. the pilot allegedly didn't report any problems on the approach. jeremy clarkson sends the duke and duchess of sussex a written apology over comments he made about mehan in a newspaper column. —— meghan. and the italian movie icon, gina lolobridgia, has died at the age of 95. the australian open is under way in melbourne.

andy murray will be on court in a couple of hours,
