to congratulate him. tiger was playing his first competitive event since july, but this was his son's moment. one charlie later described as awesome. the pair were playing against other famous father—son teams including podrick harrington and his son paddy who also notched up a hole in one. in the deciding play—off, though, it was team woods against team langer and it was the former masters champion alongside his son jason that triumphed, proof that this global sport can still be a family affair. andy swiss, bbc news. and a reminder of our top story tonight before we leave you — arsenal manager mikel arteta says bukayo saka will miss "many weeks" with a hamstring injury. he was forced off during saturday's 5—1 win against crystal palace and left selhurst park on crutches. next up for arsenal is ipswich on friday,

more reaction on the sport website. that's all from sportsday. good night. surgeons believe that a new machine — which keeps lungs alive outside the body — could significantly boost transplant numbers and save more lives. royal papworth hospital in cambridge is the first in the uk to use the technology outside clinical trials — and it's already changed the life of one patient. our correspondent nikki fox has the story. these lungs might usually be rejected for transplantation — but because of this machine, they're being kept alive, and their health restored outside the body. the lungs have been perfused and ventilated for over an hour and a half. we're very happy with their function, and likely we will go ahead. this patient is the first

in the uk to benefit — 49—year—old daniel evans—smith. there was conversations this time last year of... some of the hospitals were saying i needed to talk about palliative care, because if i didn't get the lung transplant, the likelihood was that i wouldn't survive much longer with the way things were going. 81% of lungs aren't good enough for transplantation. it's hoped the machine could prevent so many organs from being wasted. so how are they kept alive? well, the lungs are placed in an incubator at room temperature for up to six hours, mimicking the environment of the human body. they're connected to a ventilator, which forces air in and out, while oxygen and nutrients are pumped through the lungs. tests are then carried out to make sure the organs work well. we are hoping that it will increase transplant activity by 30%, because at present we have up to one

in three people dying on the waiting list. do you think daniel would still be alive if it wasn't for this machine? absolutely not. sadly. so i think we managed to catch daniel in the very last minute before he would have become untransplantable. before the transplant, daniel was taken to hospital with a collapsed lung five times. keep going until you've - completely emptied your lungs. he spent a total of six months there, as he was so ill. he developed copd, despite giving up smoking 12 years ago. his operations changed his life. i can walk further. i can now do hills without having to think about it. i don't have to rest so often when i'm out walking or moving round town. i'm miles ahead of where i was. despite law changes in 2019, which made it easier to donate organs, there's a shortage. it's hoped this new technique

will make the most of the lungs that are available, giving others a chance for a better life. nikki fox, bbc news. many people will be looking forward to seeing family and friends this christmas — but not everyone will have that option on the big day. well, there's a pub in wimbledon, in southwest london which is helping those who would otherwise be alone on the 25th. well, i'm just doing my bit and putting the finishing touches to the christmas tree here at the alexandra in wimbledon. but the whole place is beautifully decked out, ready for the free christmas day lunch that they're throwing, expecting something like 150 people. sara and mick are in charge here. just tell me about the event and why you do it. it's a marvellous opportunity for people to come and see us on christmas day. anyone who's alone, we throw our doors open, we provide a free christmas meal and lots of company and festive spirit. and who tends to come along? well, we get a broad

mix, actually. - mostly older people, but also au pairs and people who work in shops and young people. students who missed the last train home. i so it's quite a broad spectrum of people, really, who come. i 0k, and about 150, you've got your work cut out, let you carry on setting the tables for that. thanks for having us down here today. it's a really important thing that they do here, because when you look at the figures, up to an estimated 1.5 million people nearly say they expect to be alone having christmas dinner by themselves for various reasons. they may have lost a partner this year. they mayjust not be able to get to their family and friends who live too far away. and about a million older people told age uk the charity, that christmas is a particularly difficult time. they feel lonelier, more isolated than at any other time of year. and it's especially sad when four out of five said that the company and being with others is one of the most important things to them at christmas. let's speak to some of the people who are regulars here at this pub who've been to the christmas day lunch before. good morning, everyone. hello.

nice to see you all. so you've been to the christmas day lunch before, have you? just tell me, what's it like. absolutely fantastic. especially mick. he look after everybody. i was very lonely last year and i was told about mick. why don't you come to the, you know, christmas day in the pub? and he... so it was fantastic. i am lost with the world, you know. he's a star. he's fantastic. it comes across, it comes across in how you're talking about it and made lots of new friends. yes, yes, i met lots of people. yes. and i'm delighted. so i'm not feeling any more lonely. and i enjoy it. that's really lovely to hear. so you've been before. you were telling me this is going to be your first christmas day lunch. yes, yes. because my son is i away in new zealand. so my daughter- is working for nhs. so me and my other son come i on mondays, every monday here. oh, that's the regular. so this pub does a regular weekly meet up.

that is my day on mondays. and you're coming for the christmas lunch as well this week. this is the first . time i'm coming. first time? well, i think you're in for a treat. um, and just tell me what role this pub plays in the community here. well, mick does a lot for the community. um, we call ourselves teenagers because we're. we're young at heart up here. that is wonderful. and we love him to bits. he's quite a legend. he's our mick. i think mick and sarah do an absolutely fine job. um, thank you all for talking about it. it clearly means a lot to you all. rhe christmas day lunch is open to anyone who is otherwise alone on christmas day. you don't have to book. you just turn up. it's between 12 noon and 3pm here, and it's free. you don't have to give an email address. they're not asking you to add to a mailing list or anything. it's open to all. and if you're somewhere else in the uk, age uk say that they have lists of things going on. you can check the website. if you don't want to look at the website, just call them and they'll tell you where

you can go to be around others this christmas. that leaves one thing for us to do here, from me and everyone at the alexandra in wimbledon. we wish you a very... all: merry christmas! christmas is a time of traditions for many people — and there are few things more traditional than a panto. our reporter nick servini has been talking to the audience at a production in cardiff, to find out why they still have such appeal. welcome, one and all, to the royal ball! a cheesy gag, a dame and a fairy tale. yes, it's that time of the year when panto pulls in the crowds. and cinderella at the new theatre in cardiff is no exception. what's remarkable about panto is its enduring appeal. now, the season may be a bit shorter than it once was, but it is still an absolute banker to get bums on seats. do you come every year? every year. since the kids were small, but now they're all grown up and they didn't want to come with us any more, but

we still come anyway. what did you like? you liked buttons — he's a bit shy now, but he loves buttons and he found it very funny. ijust love that you can just forget all the worries, - all the things that are on your mind. you're in there for two hours. big welsh stars certainly help. the draw here are the bbc presenters gethinjones, who plays prince charming, and owain wyn evans, who plays his right—hand man, dandini. i was very much coming into this like, well, i don't sing unless i'm singing into a karaoke mic, darlings, or, you know, i don't dance. i play the drums. i can, you know, present, but that really is the limit of my kind of performance ability. so coming to do a panto, you learn a lot in a really short space of time. are we right in saying we're probably the least talented people on that stage? yeah. i think it's fair to say. there's some amazing people who do brilliant things, so you get to watch and learn from the very best. like mike doyle — it's his 36th panto.

he's been in cardiff for 11 years. and then on top of that, this sort of buzz that i don't know, i've never... it's such a different thing a live theatre audience. i can see why people get addicted to it. # shake, shake, shake, shake. # shake it off, shake it off~~# _ i never thought in my wildest dreams that i would spend five weeks singing shake it off with you on a stage. life's full of surprises. you never know what's coming around the corner. wonderful surprises sometimes. that's what i meant to say. yes, sorry. wonderful surprises, yeah. you've got a brutal schedule because you're still doing your early morning show on radio two. i do sometimes squeeze a little bit of sleep in between the two shows, but mostly do my radio show, come home, sleep for a few hours, come to the new theatre, we do our matinee, maybe have a little nap, then do the evening show, home, bed, rinse and repeat.

these are some pictures of hawaii. this is kilauea after a three—month pause is after the geological survey at the hawaiian observatory and they sit initially with dynamic volcanic activity and it has calmed slightly but still quite a lot of activity visible there with the crater and lawful fountains earlier on and now we can see the smoke coming from it. —— lava fountains. the concern somewhat as you can see smoke there they are saying the primary concern is there is high level of volcanic gas primarily water vapour carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide which they said could have far—reaching effects downwind because obviously those particles will be spreading with the wind. stayed with us here on bbc news, will first

have a quick run of the weather with chris fox. hello. it's been a chilly day across eastern areas of the uk, with the weather slowly turning milder in the west. as the milder air started to arrive we had extensive low cloud, a bit of a fog up over the hills as well, and there's more of that to come over the next few days. in the eastern side of the uk, though in particular, we've got a big jump in temperatures on the way — temperatures climbing by ten degrees celsius between this afternoon and tuesday afternoon — christmas eve afternoon. the changes are all brought about by this warm front. once that's pushed through, which will happen overnight, we then get these southwesterly winds working in and it's these winds that will be bringing us some exceptionally mild weather. so overnight tonight, a lot of low cloud developing across western areas with some mist and fog patches around coasts and hills. some damp and drizzly weather. we could see some drizzle just about anywhere, to be honest, but it's one of those nights where temperatures will rise hour by hour through the night. and by the end of the night, for many of us, we'll be looking at temperatures into double figures. and so it's going to be a much, much milderstart

to the day tomorrow. but a case of really grey, cloudy, drab conditions. bit of morning drizzle slowly fizzling out as the day goes by. probably staying quite damp though for the hebrides and the highlands of scotland. sunny spells in short supply, but you might see a few brighter spells for north—east scotland and perhaps the eastern side of the pennines. temperatures 13, 14, maybe even 15 celsius. that would make it one of the mildest christmas eves we've ever seen. and this mild southwesterly airflow stays with us for the big day — for christmas itself. and so it's a case of extensive cloud around again, some mist and fog patches around coasts and hills, some damp and drizzly weather. we do have a weather front that's going to be bringing more general rain in across the hebrides and the highlands through the day, but with temperatures across the board double figures — 10—13 degrees — there's no chance of it being a white christmas anywhere. indeed, it's going to be a very, very mild christmas. boxing day — little overall change. the changes that we do see are all towards the north of the uk, where we see this band of rain that was across the hebrides and highlands,

just sinking a bit further southwards. could bring a few spots of rain into northern ireland, the central belt of scotland, but not really amounting to too much here. the wettest weather will be still affecting parts of highland scotland. this mild spell of weather looks like it's going to hang around for about a week, but there are signs that it could turn colder in the run—up to new year's day and potentially, for some of us, a bit more wintry.
