he's playing on sunday and hopefully he brings the same performances as he brought in for the last half year, because i think everybody saw how great of a first half of the season he had, how much, how much he is here, how much he wants to win here. novak djokovic is on court right now trying to reach the semifinals of the brisbane open. he's up against america's reilly opelka with a place in the semifinals up for grabs. awaiting the winner in the final four is frenchman giovanni mpetshi perricard. the world number 31 beatjakub mensik in straight sets to progress. mpetshi perricard hit 19 aces during the match taking his total to 75 across just three contests this season. in the women's draw, top seed aryna sabalenka remains on course for her first title in brisbane. she's through to the semifinals after beating marie bouzkova in straight sets. up next for the world number one is a teenager on a mission. 17—year—old mirra andreeva booked her place in the semifinals with an impressive straight sets win against ons jabeur. polina kudermetova will face anhelina kalinina in the other semifinal. at the united cup, the czech republic are

11:48 am
or luke littler will win the world darts championship. victory for van gerwen would mean a fourth title, whilst for 17—year—old littler it would be his first, but in lifting the trophy he would become the tournament's youngest winner, beating the previous record by seven years, which was set by van gerwen in 2014. everyone else is looking forward to it more than i am. but if i win seven sets, i'll be happy. i've gained loads of experience. obviously, michael has been in loads of finals. this is my second. i know where i went wrong last year and i'm sure i will fix it. i don't mind who i am going to plax _ i don't mind who i am going to play. you _ i don't mind who i am going to play. you need to battle your own — play. you need to battle your own battles, focus on your own experience. own battles, focus on your own experience-_ experience. you are the only former champion _ experience. you are the only former champion left - experience. you are the only. former champion left standing here. how important could do know—how and experience be? it could be really important, but

we haven't won anything yet. i want _ we haven't won anything yet. i want to— we haven't won anything yet. i want to win, that is the only thing — want to win, that is the only thing that counts for me at the moment — moment. in a career already full of records, steph curry has made more history for the golden state warriors. he scored all eight of his three—point attempts as the golden state warriors beat the philadelphia 76ers 139—105 in san francisco. that performance meant curry became the first person in nba history to go at least eight—for—eight on three—pointers and reach double—digit assists in the same game, as he finished with 30 points and ten assists. he deserves these nights, i mean, everything he does for us and endures. it's so fun to see him do this. and ourfans and our coaches, we're all spoilt watching him play night after night. but we need to cherish these nights. he's not going to be around forever and he is one of the most beautiful basketball players who's ever lived and we're lucky to to be watching him. in the first leaderboard of the new pga season, its american tom hogie

who sits top of the tree. he holds a one stroke lead after the first round of the opening tournament, the sentry in hawaii. hoge begun with a nine under par 64 — with fellow american will zalatoris and japan's hideki matsuyama just behind him. that's all the sport for now. there's been a steady increase in the amount of alcohol—free drinks like wine, beer, or even spirits, being drunk in the uk. the hospitality industry is responding by creating a growing number of alternatives, but britain is still far behind much of europe when it comes to consuming alcohol free options.
11:51 am
gin, wine, and even something sparkling. this one is a little bit more blood orange and rosemary. i really like this one. the difference is that none of the drinks sold here are alcoholic. this shop and bar is one of several that have sprung up across the uk to cater for a new kind of drinker. it's definitely not just teetotallers — our biggest customers are people who still drink. you've got things that aren't mimics of alcohol, but designed for adult occasions. and that's because 74% of uk consumers are cutting down their drinking — they're looking for something interesting to drink. there's lots of non—alcoholic beer around, and i like that. and, um... yeah, like, it's a good time to not be drinking, i think. maybe it's my generation, but we are beginning - to drink slightly less - than than we used to do. they do non—alcoholic wine—and—cheese nights and things like that, so you can enjoy yourself, but also still feel good and feel part of stuff. a completely dry bar may not be to everyone's taste, but the popularity of no— and low—alcohol drinks does suggest that people's habits are changing. and for many pubs and bars, it makes business sense to change with them. it's happened at this bar
11:52 am
in the centre of manchester, where the drinks menu has evolved in the last few years. so we've got a selection of non—alcoholic beers now. when i started here, we maybe only sold one — we've got three now. and non—alcoholic cocktails — we've got a whole page of them — and it's all about really going with the crowd and really giving the customers what they want. we're not forcing it upon them, we're going with them, and that's how we retain people. so how keen are people for an alcohol—free night out? they're good, you can still drive home afterwards. um, i can be in charge of a wheelchair safely! um, and, yeah, there's just — you know, the... it's like having any other drink without the fuzzy head. yeah, no, i don't see - the point — you're paying pretty much the same price for something that... - depends if you're driving or not, doesn't it, i suppose. i'd say no. but it's not a case of either/or. at this pub — opened by a brewer of non—alcoholic beer — they sell both, with a standard pint costing just 20p more than an alcohol—free one. and while alcoholic drinks still count for the majority of the trade here, the managing director says it's not a category the industry can ignore.

so at the moment, only 2% of all beer drunk in the uk is alcohol—free. we are far behind the rest of europe. spain is at 15%. most of the countries in europe are already double digits — so already over io%. this brewer is braced for a busy start to the year, when lots of people may be considering drinking less. but across the hospitality industry, its clear alcohol—free isn't just for january. esyllt carr, bbc news. with the christmas celebrations behind us, the focus has now turned to the festive clear—up, including finding a home for the christmas tree. in bristol, some trees are being dropped off at noah's ark zoo farm, where they'll be put to good use

frosted there. let's have a check of the forecast. hello. it has been a cold, frosty start to the day and we are going to see this cold snap continuing right through the middle of next week. some potentially disruptive weather on the way into the weekend, sharp frosts, a risk of some icy conditions and, for some of us, some disruptive snowfall, especially late saturday into sunday. cold air mass is with us at the moment. the winds are coming in from north—west, so they a re bringing some snow showers to north—east scotland. a brisk breeze down the east coast of england and a few more showers filtering in for western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, so some icy stretches around. quite a bit of sunshine for most of us. a relatively calm sort of day and temperatures generally about two to six degrees for most of us. into the evening hours, we've still got some wintry showers in the north—west, so there could be further icy stretches here. some mist, some freezing fog patches developing through the midlands, east anglia, as well,, and a cold night with temperatures subzero in our towns and cities, but colder than that in the more rural spots. it is through the weekend that we see the weather turning more disruptive.
11:57 am
some of us see a risk of significant snow. if you don't see much snow, you might see the wind and the rain too. quite a quiet start to saturday. chilly, frosty with some lingering fog around. the cloud increasing from the south—west ahead of this area of rain as that bumps into this cold air in place. top temperatures just three or four degrees for most of us. colder than that for scotland. that rain is going to turn into snow, so a period of snow for a time for parts of wales, southern and central england, as well. that pushes into northern england, northern ireland. we'll see the snowfall becoming quite persistent. further south it will turn quite quickly back to rain. so much milder air, brisker winds working into the south, but across northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england too, especially over the higher ground, that snowfall is really going to be mounting up through the day on sunday. to the south of that, with the milder air, it will be falling as rain. look at that contrast in temperature — 13 in london, just two degrees in aberdeen on sunday. it's through this zone, through the central slice of the british isles, really, that we could see 20 to 40cm of snow over the higher routes in particular. that has got the potential to cause some
11:58 am
significant disruption. eventually, we will lose this low pressure during monday and that will open the doors again to a cold air mass coming in with further wintry showers. so, yes, a milderspell for some of us in the south for a time, but things turn cold again into next week with further wintry showers in the forecast. do keep up to date with the warnings.
