3:31 pm
rohit sharma dropped himself, who took the wicket of konstas�*s opening partner usman khawaja. the two were at odds over whether australia had been attempting to waste time in the closing overs to see out the day. and many of the india team celebrated in konstas�* direction, with scott boland claiming his teammate has got under india's skin. well, khawaja's wicket was the only success for india on a day to forget. they had won the toss and chose to bat but were bowled out for 185. only rishabh pant offered any resistance scoring a0. australia closed on 9—1 for i, 176 runs behind. i'm not really sure what a good score is. i don't want to put us on the mockers, saying if we get 200 it will be a good score. we will bat first, and how we went about it might have been differently but it is what it is.
3:32 pm
i wouldn't say is a bad score, but _ i wouldn't say is a bad score, but anything over 220, 250 would _ but anything over 220, 250 would be a bad score, but still a very— would be a bad score, but still a very competitive score because _ a very competitive score because the way the ball is moving _ because the way the ball is moving now, ithink because the way the ball is moving now, i think there was a lot of— moving now, i think there was a lot of help — moving now, i think there was a lot of help for the bowler, and hopefully we can capitalise on that — while wickets fell in sydney, in cape town it's been a batter�*s day, with south africa having an unbroken stand of 200 for the fourth wicket on day one of the second test against pakistan. after losing two quick wickets before lunch, ryan rickelton and captain temba bavuma have been batting together since. with the close of play on the opening day approaching, both have now reached the centuries. freckleton got his highest ever test score. 293—3, the later score, with south africa having won the first match of this series, securing a place in the world test championship final. liverpool manager arne slot says trent alexander arnold remains fully
3:33 pm
committed to the club despite a recent approach by real madrid being rebuffed with the player's contract expiring at the end of the season. slot wouldn't rule out alexander arnold being sold in the january transfer window, preferring only to confirm he will be in the liverpool team for their next premier league match against manchester united. ican i can tell you he is playing on sunday. that he is. and hopefully he brings the same performances as he brought for the last half year, because i think everybody saw how great of a first half of the season he had, how much he is here, how much he wants to win here. novak djokovic has been knocked out of his first tournament of the season, losing in the quarter finals of the brisbane open. the 24—time grand slam winner is the world number seven butwas beaten by a player just seven places inside the world's top 300, american reilly 0pelka. djokovic is preparing for the australian open, when he'll have andy murray coaching him. but this defeat won't help. after losing the first set on a tiebreak, the second finished 6—3 to the nearly 7 foot tall 0pelka,

3:35 pm
let's speak to jake moore, global cyber security advisor at eset. thank you very much forjoining us. there was another case involving amazon's alexa, which was caught out listening to people. tell us more about this particular case and the principles of personal security at stake. �* ., ii" principles of personal security atstake.�* ., 11" at stake. before 2019, apple and amazon _ at stake. before 2019, apple and amazon with _ at stake. before 2019, apple and amazon with alexa - at stake. before 2019, apple and amazon with alexa used i at stake. before 2019, apple i and amazon with alexa used to transcribe the conversations that it was hearing, so it would put them into writing and thenit would put them into writing and then it would be able to learn from people's habits and potentially sell that information, which is worth a lot to their advertisers. tech companies and apps know a lot about us, but since 2019, they have come on such a long way, and the truth is, now they don't necessarily need to listen to us and our conversations because they learn so much about us. this case is all about making sure people are aware of the privacy
3:36 pm
and what information they are giving up, and to make sure they look at the terms and conditions, and these days it is more to do with tracking permissions on each app, to make sure that they haven't by chance given away microphone access to any of their apps. we have all done _ access to any of their apps. we have all done it, we've been having a conversation with a friend or whatever at home, and then an advert pops up for the everything we've been having that conversation about. how do people protect themselves from this? tell us more about the detail of that, if you would? it's all about knowing the privacy. most people would just click yes to terms and conditions without understanding them or looking through them. and also it comes down to tracking permissions stop in apple, you can look on each app at all of the things it may want to track from you. your location, things like what device you are using. they are not allowed to no personal information such as your e—mail address or your name, but there are other things they can use to identify people, and they
3:37 pm
use lots of clever algorithms, so it's about limiting the data we give to them freely. hopefully people will click no, they don't want apps to track them. similarly with other platforms, social media, for example, anything that is free, it is because they are making the money through your information. if you don't need to give them your name, e—mail address and other information, then hold back on it. i always say, make sure you use a second e—mail address, say, make sure you use a second e—mailaddress, particularly for shopping, and then for other things that don't particularly need that e—mail address. you can turn off siri, check out the icloud settings, and also have a look at the settings in each app to make sure you haven't turned on the microphone permission. some apps don't need it. some will if you are creating content on instagram or tiktok, for example. but if they don't, just go and turn it off and then you should be safer from your phone listening to you. in this particular case involving
3:38 pm
apple, this isn't going to court fully, it has been settled, hasn't it? obviously, we won't get the opportunity to fully understand how information has been found out about the people making this claim against apple. is there a need for greater transparency about this process?— need for greater transparency about this process? yeah, and that's actually _ about this process? yeah, and that's actually a _ about this process? yeah, and that's actually a very - about this process? yeah, and that's actually a very clever . that's actually a very clever move by apple. they don't want it to go to court because if it did, all the small bits around how they use their technology would come out in the court and therefore in the public eye. they don't want the public to know about how it works, and i also don't want their competitors to know, so they have paid this off to try and keep it out, but it does need transparency. apple tried to show how good they are with their security and privacy, especially since 2019, they've really increased that, and with the tracking of permissions and so on, and they are trying to really shine a light on privacy, but it shows that we still have to be well aware of it. people still think that
3:39 pm
their phones listen to them all their phones listen to them all the time. the truth is, they don't need to, they know so much about us already. even hovering over for a much about us already. even hovering overfor a millisecond extra on social media, that information is fed in so they can learn even more about us. hopefully, this will be another case to make people aware of the fact that these tech companies want our data. joke companies want our data. jake moore, thank _ companies want our data. jake moore, thank you _ companies want our data. jake moore, thank you very much. amber warnings for snow and ice have been issued for large areas of england and wales this weekend, after an arctic blast pushed temperatures to nearly minus eight degrees celsius overnight. the uk health security agency has warned that vulnerable and elderly people will be at risk. gritters were out through the night and into the early hours making sure the roads were clear and safe. back in october when the winter season started here, this whole area was full of salt, and it was as high as the top of the pile you can see there. here, they are constantly
3:40 pm
monitoring the situation on the roads and the weather forecast, to see how much salt they need to use each day. we do tailor what the actual gritters are putting on the roads, depending on the conditions, the temperatures, and that can be fed into the wagons, and then they dial up what is required, and the salt is dispensed accordingly. this is us watching in real—time. in the office is where they keep an eye on how much salt is needed and where it needs to go. so we are able to see that in real—time the temperatures were colder than we expected. so we were able to monitor that react accordingly. health care providers are also preparing. they have been placed on high alert for the coming days. people who are vulnerable to the cold weather could be at greater risk and might need help. in the east of england, extra ambulances have already been put on, as they have started to feel the pressure. 0ur call levels are at the highest level that we have experienced ever. that typically we would see around 3,900 calls a day, and we have been receiving
3:41 pm
in excess of 5,700 calls. some charities, including age uk, are warning that the government's decision to axe winter fuel payments for most pensioners will make some reluctant to turn on the heating during this cold snap. but the health secretary defended the choice. well, this is definitely a weekend to turn the heating on. and i willjust remind people that the chancellor did take the decision to protect winter fuel allowance for the poorest pensioners, to protect people this winter and in future winters. and of course the triple lock on pensions is guaranteed. so the state pension is higher this winter than it was last year. three, two, one, go! as snow had already started to fall, it is fun for some, and often beautiful. but others will be worried about how they are going to stay warm and get around safely. here in 0ldham, they say they will be monitoring the situation closely this afternoon, and their
3:42 pm
gritters will be ready to go out when needed. jessica lane, bbc news. with me is elizabeth rizzini. 0bviously, obviously, a lot of people in the uk are very concerned to note the details of the weather forecast. let's talk about the area that is covered by this amber warning. area that is covered by this amberwarning. remind us amber warning. remind us exactly amberwarning. remind us exactly what a number on warning means.— exactly what a number on warning means. exactly what a number on warnin: means. . . . , warning means. -- what an amber warnin: warning means. -- what an amber warning is- — warning means. -- what an amber warning is- it _ warning means. -- what an amber warning is. it is _ warning means. -- what an amber warning is. it is the _ warning means. -- what an amber warning is. it is the second - warning is. it is the second highest level of alert and you should be prepared for a severe weather. it covers wales, northern england, the midlands, right up into cumbria, and it is basically for snow in the north and snow and ice in the south. that is valid from late saturday until monday. there will be some particularly high snow depths within this area. as much as perhaps a0 centimetres over the tops of
3:43 pm
the pennines, and may 20—30 centimetres across north wales, the hills there, and into the peak district as well. of course, that warning area covers a lot of major cities, and we are likely to see some rural communities cut off as well because of the depth of the snow. there will also be icy conditions. there is the risk of freezing rain across north wales, and we will see slightly milder air are cut in as we head through sunday towards the south, so a lot of that snow will melt, and that could cause some problems as well. ., ,,., ._ could cause some problems as well. ., ., ., well. late saturday through to monday - _ well. late saturday through to monday - it — well. late saturday through to monday - it sounds _ well. late saturday through to monday - it sounds like - well. late saturday through to monday - it sounds like the i monday — it sounds like the type of conditions where we are hearing the warning that if you don't have to travel, try not to. ~ ., ._ to. well, i would say definitely _ to. well, i would say definitely think- to. well, i would say definitely think twice to. well, i would say - definitely think twice about it. there will be snow for south as well, i have to say, but it will be quite transient so it will turn quickly back to rain across the south of england and into south wales. bad travelling conditions here as well for a time on saturday
