By. At he will also make clear uks concerns about some of iran was mac activities, notably in syria and yemen. He described the relationship with iran is improving, but not straightforward.

The freezing conditions caused significant disruption to commuters yesterday and hundreds of properties in the West Midlands are still without power. Simon clemison has this report. Some of these reindeer are getting their first taste of snow in dudley. And in the early hours, more snowfalls have been reported across the uk, although conditions are expect to ease for today. At manchester airport, wings have had to be de ice. De iced. An image some are about to leave behind. Shrubs is somewhere in this picture. 0n the isle of man, the weekend began early, as all schools were closed. Elsewhere, there have been problems on the roads. The extremes of the weather are expected to eventually be confined to north east scotland, but tomorrow, a spell of heavy snow is likely over the midlands and parts of wales and northern england. 20 centimetres is quite significant. We will press ahead of that, we will salt ahead of that, but past 20 centimetres we might have to reduce the network and keep key routes open. That is much as you can do. 20 centimetres is significant. The met office is warning that some in the countryside may be cut off if the skies were not convincing enough. Stav will be here in the next few minutes with the latest forecast. Israel has launched further air strikes against hamas military positions in the gaza strip, in retaliation for palestinian rocket attacks on southern israel. Palestinians and Israeli Security forces have clashed in the west bank since President Trump recognised jerusalem as israels capital on wednesday. Yesterday, the Us Ambassador nikki haley defended Donald Trumps comments and accused the un of bias against israel. 0ver many years, the United Nations has outrageously been at the worlds foremost centres of hostility towards israel. The United Nations has done much more damage to the prospects for middle east peace, then to advance them. Thousands of firefighters in Southern California are continuing to battle a series of wildfires which have destroyed hundreds of homes. More than 200,000 people have already fled the area and communities on the pacific coast, including the city of Santa Barbara and ventura, are preparing for evacuations. President trump has declared a state of emergency. Sarah corker reports. In the mountains north of los angeles, wildfires are roaring through the forests of ventura county. Dry winds are fanning the flames, causing them to spread rapidly, and cutting across highways. These guys are scrambling. And the thick plumes of smoke billow for miles. Across Southern California, tens of thousands of people have already fled. And this is the destruction they are escaping from. I always equate these to my Family Friends as disaster war zones is what you see, with the homes that are lost, and the tragedy that hits all of these families that live in these areas. Currently the fire is about 130,000 acres, 425 homes have been confirmed to be lost. Some people now returning home see what, if anything, they can salvage from the charred wreckage. Its unbelievable, its devastating, it is horrific. There is nothing left. Not a darn thing. The first fires broke out on monday, reaching the exclusive neighbourhood of bel air, in los angeles, and threatening the neighbourhoods of hollywood stars. At night, it looks like a volcano erupting, and from Santa Barbara to la and san diego, more than 8,000 firefighters are trying to contain these fires, the worst in living memory here. Strong winds are forecast through the weekend, making for extremely dangerous conditions. An urgent review into the availability of free to use atms is needed to make sure customers do not struggle to access cash. This is according to the consumer watchdog which. The uks largest atm network, link, wants to cut the fees charged to atm users. There are concerns the overall the overhaul of the network could reduce the number of atms available to customers. Network could reduce the number of atms available to customersm could potentially reduce the number of atms in the uk or increase the number of pay for atms in the uk. We wa nt to number of pay for atms in the uk. We want to ensure that consumers have access to money in the way they want to, particularly in the face of closing bank branches, where people find it more and more difficult to get hold of a bank and get their money the way they want to. Get hold of a bank and get their money the way they want tom get hold of a bank and get their money the way they want to. It is 6 08am. Lets get more on yesterdays brexit deal, which has paid the way for trade talks to begin between the eu and the uk. This morning, one of the cabinets leading brexiteers, michael gove, had his say. He praised the deal, but in an article in the Daily Telegraph, suggested voters could use the next general election if they wanted to reject any final agreement. Michael gove welcomed the deal with the eu, and yesterday he publicly praised the Prime Ministerfor the eu, and yesterday he publicly praised the Prime Minister for her work. But i think in a sign of the challenges to come for theresa may, the environment secretary, who is of course one of the leading leave campaigners in the cabinet, has suggested that if the british people dislike the arrangement negotiated with brussels, well, a future government could choose to go in a different direction. Michael gove wrote in the Daily Telegraph and said that after a two year transition, outside the eu, the british people will be in control and will have full freedom to diverged from european law on the Single Market and customs union. Having made sufficient progress on the terms of the uks departure from the terms of the uks departure from the eu, the brexit talks can now move on to the future relationship with the eu. But the cabinet has yet to agree on what that final deal will look like. I think theresa may knows thats the toughest decisions in these negotiations are yet to come, and about the talks have a long way to go. Well, eleanor was certainly right about that. We will be talking about it sometimes come. Not surprisingly, on the front pages today, brexit is being touted. Mades try of wanted by task warning on top choices ahead. Of course everybody is pleased that the first phase of brexit negotiations seem to have been passed through. We have the handshake here between theresa may and jean claude juncker. But there is a lot more trade talk to come. And tough talk to come, as the negotiations continue. Yes, the newspapers are very clear in their sta nce newspapers are very clear in their stance in relation to what happened yesterday. The daily mirror, free example, with the headline mrs softee. Theresa mays deal with the eu will mean soft brexit. Britain will pay for the divorce bill. The Prime Minister has abandoned her red line to break the deadlock. That is contrasting with the daily mail. Indeed. Rejoice, we are on our way. This historic handshake on the front page of the ft. The daily mail says it has sealed a vital step in the uks exit from the eu. And on the front page of the times, made bounces back. Rejuvenated, suggests the times newspaper, as we move onto the times newspaper, as we move onto the next set of talks, which everybody says will be the hard ones. John koorda jon kay yesterday praised theresa may for being so affa ble praised theresa may for being so affable and easy to negotiate with. Jean claude juncker. It sounds affable and easy to negotiate with. Jean claudejuncker. It sounds as though there was no snapping, no biting. I see what youve done. Here we go. 0nly because of this picture, which i like. This is a saltwater crocodile, a 20 foot saltwater crocodile. It has a name. His name is dominator. And for being one of the most aggressive crocodiles in the most aggressive crocodiles in the region in australias northern territory. This has been snapped by a tourist on a neighbouring boat. What you can see, if you look closely at some of the reactions, people are shocked. Wisely keeping their arms inside the boat. Indeed. If you go out on a wildlife safari, thatis if you go out on a wildlife safari, that is what you want to see. That is for sure. Lots of interest in the weather through this weekend. Weve been talking about snow, there was some yesterday. More forecast for later today, is that right . Thats right, in the form of snow showers, affecting areas like we saw yesterday, mainly northern and western coastal areas. Most of us started this morning very cold and frosty but with lots of sunshine. The snow showers are continuing across parts of northern and Western Areas, giving quite a bit of snow and places. They will be fairly isolated. Watch out, there are still low lying snow around and there will bea low lying snow around and there will be a problem with ice where we had snow showers yesterday. This is where the snow showers are falling. Northern scotland, parts of Northern Ireland, through cheshire, merseyside, northern and western wales. This is where they will be through the day. Not as widespread and ready. We should see a few pushing further north in towards leisure and the manchester area. That said, it will be a gorgeous day if you love the sunshine. Wrap up and head out and enjoy the sunshine. Things get interesting this evening and overnight. Temperatures falling away and overnight. Temperatures falling r and overnight. Temperatures falling away very quickly. Then we see this band of heavy rain moving up from the south west. That will turn very quickly to snow as it romps into that cold out. The main threat will be around the midlands and parts of northern wales in southern northern england. Ten centimetres in places, maybe even 20. The met office have issued an amber warnings of this, which means to be prepared. There will be some disruption as we head into early hours on sunday. Thats no longerfurther into early hours on sunday. Thats no longer further north and south to peter out and turn back into rain as the mild array starts to pushing from the south west. Eight or nine degrees here and much colderfurther north. Plenty of sunshine here. That is our sunday is looking, as we head into monday. We are now looking to the south of the country. This deep area of low pressure, this storm expected to impact france. It could also impact southern parts of the uk. Sunday afternoon, we are looking at strong, maybe severe Gale Force Winds across the south. It could again be windy and a very wet across the south and south east. Further snow is potentially possible over the high ground. Tuesday, much quieter. Those areas of low pressure moving away, and we end up with dry around brighter weather with sunshine. It stays cold through the week and is set to stay cold in the run up to christmas. There is no mild weather on the cards yet. Thank you very much, and a lovely picture to finish with. It is the most Expensive Television show ever made, costing an estimated £100 million and after scooping the golden globe for best tv series, the crown returned yesterday for its second series on netflix. The company, along with Companies Like amazon and apple are ploughing millions into original programming, changing the way we watch television. 0ur media editor has more. 70 years ago, the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip was broadcast on a Single Channel in black and white. The world has changed. Today, their marriage and times has been dramatised in a multimillion pound, high tech production, consumed on a range of devices. Yet this very british story was made by netflix, not the bbc. The company now boasts over 100 million subscribers, and was irresistible to the british executive behind the crown. Well, you know, you can get to see Tech Companies very, very easily, and they make decisions very speedily, and they seem to have lots of money. So all of these are very attractive qualities when youre trying to sell a tv show. Netflix have said they will spend up to £6 billion on programmes next year. That is around double the bbcs entire budget. Meanwhile, according to analysts atjp morgan, amazon will spend £3. 5 billion on video content next year, with mega productions such as their version of top gear top of the list. And now apple, the worlds richest company, is now also moving into original programming. It will probably spend at least £750 million next year on content, small fry for a Company Whose value is approaching 1 trillion. Companies like netflix and amazon are part of a worldwide transition from scheduled tv to online and on demand broadcasting. These tech firms have discovered that consumers will pay for content online, provided it is of sufficiently high quality. And that is why they are now shamelessly pursuing notjust young and digitally savvy audiences, but also older viewers, whose loyalty traditionally lies elsewhere. And yet that loyalty to traditional broadcasters endures. For the likes of channel 4 and the bbc, superstar shows like Great British bake 0ff and blue planet are still watched by up to 10 million people, and generate national conversation. The streaming services of netflix and amazon are certainly making a very powerful mark, and thats great for consumers. My worry is that we can see over the next decade the amount of money going into content made in britain, for british audiences, dramas that reflect british lives, comedies that reflect the uk, documentaries, and so on, is going to go down. And i think that we would be the poorer for that. As the next chair of bafta argues, older broadcasters will have to form alliances with new ones if they are to thrive. The danger will come if the streaming services no longer need that money from the bbc or itv or channel 4, because they want to fully fund something, and take world rights. The internet has simultaneously undermined the Business Model of broadcasters reliant on advertising, while giving paying customers unprecedented quality and choice. Luckily for viewers, this is a revolution that will be televised. Amol rajan, bbc news. We will have a summary of the news in a moment. But first its time for the film review, with mark kermode and jane hill. Welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. What have you been watching, mark . We have stronger, which is a film about the boston bombing survivor jeff bowman. Human flow, a very affecting documentary by ai weiwei. And the dinner. Steve coogan and richard gere together at last. We can discuss that. Stronger, i mean, people will remember so vividly the Boston Marathon bombing and this is very much about the aftermath. So Jake Gyllenhaal as a jeff bowman, who was a young bostonian who was there at the finishing line and was involved in the blast and lost both his legs. And having survived the bombing then had to rebuild his life both physically and indeed, mentally. And deal with the fact hed suddenly become right at the centre of the spotlight, which saw him in many ways as the embodiment of the boston strong mantra. Heres a clip. When youre ready, scooch ahead before you stand up. Yeah. 0k. 0k, scooch ahead. Up, hips back. Chest up. Chest up, chest up. Good, good, 0k . Good. Its a little sore. Its like needles on my legs. You look awesome. It looks amazing. Keep going. I cant, i cant. Good job, good job. Now the storys extraordinary, not least because when he wakes up in hospital the first thing he does is say, i saw the bombers. He wants to pass on that information. But what the film is really, really interested in is the way in which his struggle to recover works. And also his relationship with his originally on off girlfriend and his mother and his family. You saw Miranda Richardson as his mother, who is really, really terrific. And i think what central to it is the film doesnt play him as a hero, it plays him as somebody who is in a position, you know, which they had nothing to do with. And suddenly find themselves in the centre of this great personal struggle and suddenly find themselves the centre of all this media attention. And if you know, on the one hand doing this very, very heroic thing, but on the other hand finding it very hard to cope with that attention. What i like about the film is that it doesnt try and paint two dimensional pictures. He has fractious relationships with his family, with his girlfriend, he goes through different phases. I think what happens with the movie is it involves you in the story in a way that you genuinely believe that what youre seeing is a realistic portrayal. Its not exploitative, its melodramatic. I think its based on a book he wrote. Absolutely. The details are true. Weve seen enough hollywood movies which are doing triumph over adversity, that do so in a way that is kind of saccharine and very sentimental and relies very heavily on sentimentality and melodrama. I found this very moving. There are moments that make you cry, moments that make you laugh. The most important thing was it seemed honest it seemed truthful. It was done in a way that is low key enough to never feel like what it was doing was exploiting the situation at all. I was surprisingly moved by it. It doesnt change the format of film, it doesnt do anything major to the structure, the kind of story weve seen before. But it plays it well and played it in a heartfelt way. It feels like an honest endeavour that was moving and affecting. The ai weiwei film, your second choice. Human flow. Sadly i havent seen it yet. I can only assume that it is unbelievably, unbearably moving. It is very moving. Ai weiwei is a conceptual artist, this is about the current refugee crisis and the humanitarian disaster unfolding around the world. Its a portrait of global displacement, different people forced to move from their homes for horrific reasons. Shot in 25 countries. 20 countries, 25 film crews. Some of the footage is hand held. Some of it, these extraordinary aerial shots, drone shots, of huge numbers of people moving through incredibly hostile terrain, refugee camps. We do get interviews, we do get discussions, but the most affecting stuff is this sort of image of humanity on the move, and the persistence of barriers and borders and boundaries and people rather than receiving welcome facing a wall. It is a film that has a cumulative impact over the course of the movie you do become overwhelmed by the scope of this. But i think, again, its a very interesting piece of film making because it is using film to tell the story in a way which is, you know, specifically visual. We do get discussions of these terrifying subjects as the film plays out. The stuff that works less well is when we see ai weiwei talking to some of the refugees, that the stuff that actually, we enough, has less impact than when you see the scope of what the film is depicting, its called human flow. 0k. The dinner. Yes. What did you think . Well. Hmm. 0k. Its the latest from 0ren moverman, and its adapted from a novel. It is the story of the hidden violence of the bourgeoisie. Its also one of those things that asks the question, what would you do to protect a loved one . In upstate new york two chalk and cheese brothers, played by steve coogan and richard gere, you couldnt get more chalk and cheese. And their respective partners, rebecca hall and laura linney. They meet in an upmarket restaurant. Coogans character is tetchy and awkward and difficult. Richard gere is a smooth politician. But there is a terrible family secret they have to discuss. Here is a clip. This is long overdue. What were you talking about . We were just enjoying one of those awkward pauses, as they say. Not talking about anything. Well were going to talk tonight. Put it all on the table. Theres a lot going on. Are you 0k . Dont. Perhaps theres a better table. Its really, its all right, were fine here. Actually, actually, the other room i think is better. As private as a fish tank. Theres something wrong, let me check, just a second. I actually agree. Im not moving. Whats interesting about this is this discussion theyre not having, that they move towards having, plays out over the courses of this ridiculously elaborate dinner. Each course is, you know, described by the maitre d in incredible terms. At the centre of the discussion is this hidden secret about something which has happened with their children. And i think the film has got really good performances. Great cast, really good ensemble cast. 0ren moverman got a very good performance out of richard gere previously in a film in which richard gere is playing a homeless man. Actually, ai weiwei got a really good performance out of him. The problem with the film to some extent is it probably two courses too long, its two hours and it should be 89 minutes. When we at the table, when that kind of. The unspoken arguments are sort of broiling and seething away i think it works rather well. It then has this kind of flashback structure in which it moves back to events in the past and we see things unfolding from lots of different perspectives. To me, that works slightly less well. Im some people have really taken against the movie. One of the reasons is, theyre pretty claustrophobic company. Theyre not people you want to spend that much time in their company because. Steve coogans character is so difficult, so awkward. Richard geres character seems to be so smooth and so smarmy. Yet during the course of the drama it does play with our expectations of how each characters motivations will fall. Its flawed, no question about it, and it is at least two courses too long, but in the middle of it there is a main course which is well worth trying. I think i absolutely killed the food metaphor stone dead now. Weve done it but we knew what you meant by it. Lets not do it again. Im so delighted you have chosen this, because it encouraged me to see it again, a film i havent seen probably since i was at university. A matter of life and death. An absolute delight. One of the greatest movies ever made. It made immediately in the aftermath of the war, the ministry of information said to powell and pressburger, could you please make a film that would encourage the brits and the americans to like each other more. And they came up with a matter of life and death, which ends up being a story about this world and the next. Its just been rereleased in a 4k print. Its so moving. It starts with david niven as a doomed airman, you know, falling in love with somebodyjust on a radio. Then he evades death because the emissary from the other world coming to get him gets lost in the fog of the channel. Its a film that plays out you can either read it as a psychological drama or read it as another wordly drama, or you canjust read it as a comedian, some slightly metaphysical romance. Its funny and smart and looks brilliant. Extraordinary cinematography. How many times have you seen it . I think this was only my second. But you, you know, effectively forced me to watch it again this week and i just thought, some of the script is wonderful. Its just. It is, i hate to say this, the kind of film theyjust dont make any more. Yet its incredibly future looking. It does that brilliant thing of converting the wizard of oz, everything down on earth is in technicolor, everything in the other world is in black and white, which inverts what you would actually expect. Its one of the greatest movies ever made. If not, arguably, the greatest movie ever made. And its out again. From 1916. Fantastic. Very quick thought about dvd. Atomic blonde. I mean basically this is a sort of, you know, and adaptation of the graphic novel coldest city. Its a tale of spies and neon. Charlize theron is having an absolute ball in it. It doesnt make a lot of sense, but its very stylish and its very entertaining. It could be, i think there is a place for, you know, the stylish, stylishly empty film, and this is it. I enjoyed it very much, though its probably a guilty pleasure. I love that, stylishly empty. Marvellous. What a way to end. Thank you very much, mark, see you again next week. Plenty to discuss this week, as weve just proved. Enjoy your cinema viewing this week. See you next time. Bye bye. Hello, this is breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. The foreign secretary, borisjohnson, is due to arrive in iran in the next few hours, where hes expected to press for the release of the british iranian woman, Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe. The aid worker has been held prisoner in the country since april 2016. Shes accused of trying to overthrow the iranian government a charge she denies. Its expected mrjohnson will also discuss britains wider relations with iran. One of the cabinets leading brexiteers has suggested that voters can use the next general election to have their say on a final deal with the European Union and to force a future government to change course if they dont like it. The environment secretary, michael gove, makes his comments in the Daily Telegraph, a day after theresa mays agreement in brussels cleared the way for trade talks. The cabinet is expected to meet in the next fortnight to discuss britains future relationship with the eu.

More snow is expected in northern and eastern regions over the weekend. The freezing conditions caused significant disruption to commuters yesterday and hundreds of properties in the West Midlands are still without power. Simon clemison has this report. Some of these reindeer are getting their first taste of snow in dudley. And in the early hours, more snowfalls have been reported across the uk, although conditions are expect to ease for today. At manchester airport, wings have had to be de iced. An image some are about to leave behind. Shropshire is somewhere in this picture. Undeterred. 0n the isle of man, the weekend began early, as all schools were closed. Elsewhere, there have been problems on the roads. The extremes of the weather are expected to eventually be confined to north east scotland, but tomorrow, a spell of heavy snow is likely over the midlands and parts of wales and northern england. 20cm is quite significant. We will press ahead of that, we will salt ahead of that, but past 20cm we might have to reduce the network and keep key routes open. That is much as you can do 20cm is significant. The met office is warning that some in the countryside may be cut off if the skies were not convincing enough. And we will have a full forecast later in the programme.

Those are the main stories. We must remind you, mike, i know that you are waiting on tenterhooks. Remind you, mike, i know that you are waiting on tenterhooks. Good morning. All you are thinking about is the fifa world cup. Well, it is only six months away. It is keeping me awake at night. Why dont we talk about it now . You are dreaming about it, managers and players are dreaming about how their teens might do, but they are not the only ones . Everybody remembers the success of this fellow. Paul. Yes, this german octopus became famous for his convictions in the 2010 tournament. So who will be the next paul . There have been some rubbish attempts. There was an elephant, there was my dog basil. A cat, he wasnt interested. They do not all have pauls ability. Lots of people in the next few months around world will be trying to find the next paul. Do we know what happened to paul . Well, he got old, and what happens when you get old . No and octopus is such an excellent choice, though. Eight legs. Tentacles, not legs. And they are very intelligent. Very. I wonder if paul come wherever he is, would have a clue about the Manchester Derby tomorrow. They are saying that one seventh of the worlds deletion will be keeping a nigh on manchester, because they are the top two teams. Worlds top elation. One seventh yeah, incredible, isnt it . The whole world . Incredible, isnt it . The whole world . Yeah. And we also have the Merseyside Derby tomorrow. But lets focus on today first. So all eyes on manchester and merseyside tomorrow, but this lunchtime, its east against west london, as west ham host chelsea. The hammers are in the bottom three and looking for a first win under new manager david moyes. But despite their position, the scot thinks, he is starting to make his mark, on his new squad. I dont want to get too carried away but the players have been very good. They have tried to take on board everything. They are doing their work. As i said from the start, they will have to do the work if they wa nt to will have to do the work if they want to play. Hopefully they are all doing that. There was late drama in the championship last night. Aden flint, scoring this last minute winner for bristol city against sheffield united. The 2 1win sees the robins, leapfrog their opponents, to go third in the table. They could have lost their manager to rangers this week that aberdeen repaid mcguinness for staying in charge of a 1 0 win at dundee. This goal at the break was enough to seal the three points which means aberdeen into second place in the scottish premiership, three points above rangers, before they play tomorrow.

The rocket will play simon bligh in the semifinals, while shaun murphy will play ryan day in the other semi. Whatever happens, sullivans match, he feels he cannot lose. Semi. Whatever happens, sullivans match, he feels he cannot losem was win win because i thought, if they get beaten, at least i get home to dinner. And if i win i have another day here. I have to have a win win in some way. At this stage of the game. There are quite a few places around here that will do dinner for you. Yes, but i would like to see my mrs. I gave up a while ago, i like to do my own thing. Whatever happens in the game is great, i pick and choose what i wa nt to is great, i pick and choose what i want to do. I think my happiness comes in doing other things away from snooker. That kind of helps. When the pressure is off, you dont really care. A refreshing attitude. What a position, to pick and choose what you want to do. Im pleased with him. Yes, i like his outlook on life.

Englands charley hull is in contention for victory going into the final round of the dubai ladies classic. She shot a five under par 67 in her third round yesterday to finish on nine under par, just three shots behind leader and van dam of the netherlands. Now, it is snowing here in some parts. It is also slowing, surprisingly, in germany, where lizzie arnold, in eight weeks time, she will try to become the first written sharply to retain a Winter Olympics title. The season is not going to plan for the skeleton bob slider. She won the gold in sochi four years ago, but yesterday falling snow hampered her and she can it 13th place in the latest world cup event at which as berg in germany. What can you do in a snowstorm, she tweeted . Wintersburg. A perfect name to that base. Wintersburg . I was actually with her the other day for a feature. I didnt go bob is leading. You did . I still have a sore throat. From screening . No, ithoughtl you did . I still have a sore throat. From screening . No, ithought i was being strangled by the geforce. You are so low down, it is like somebody is pushing your throat. Into your stomach. While hitting you with a hammer at the same time. Because i was the break person, at the back. Full respect to those athletes. What else . Anything else . Want to see what Bradley Wiggins is doing now . We are used to seeing him on two wheels but the former tour to france and olympic gold medal winning cyclist has got off his bike and is competing as a role for the first time today. Sir bradley, who is now 37, will take part in the 2000 metre race at the british indoor championships. He is being coached by libby gold medallist james cracknell. What is he doing . A rowing machines machine. Cracknell. What is he doing . A rowing machines machine. You still wouldnt bet against him. No, you cant take the athlete out of somebody. Jumping fences and riding through fire, this perhaps mean somebodys skills are more extreme than the likes of a p mcauley and nick skelton. Now, the net mounted police are gearing up to show off their stuff at the horse of the year show this week. The met. Ijoined them in training to find out how these skills help them prepare for being on the beat. They are the heavyweights of the equestrian world, with some of the bravest writers. Despite the size and the weight of these beasts, it is all about the most delicate position and accuracy. As theyjump through fire and even managed to remove some of their uniform of jumping, and the saddle, and syrups. At this isntjust jumping, and the saddle, and syrups. At this isnt just about showcasing their skills this week. The mounted police use this training to help them prepare for their mainjob police use this training to help them prepare for their main job and whatever they might face on the streets of london. We are cops on horses, Police Officers on horses. These forces are all operational horses. They patrol the streets of london daily. This right we are doing, what you see today, it is all about training and developing the officer and developing the horses. So that we can take those skills out onto the street. In a public order situation, like a riot, they say that one mounted officer can do the job of ten on foot. I saw how crucial this training sessions are for when things dont go to plan. You have to be quite robust as a writer. Rider. You can have situations, not that many years ago, like tottenham, you have ulcers and buildings burning. A horse reacts adversely to that. So this sort of thing is great for their training. It is about trust and confidence. The first mounted police were around 150 yea rs before the first mounted police were around 150 years before the first pictures in the 19205, and 150 years before the first picture5 in the 19205, and over the following decades, they became famous for their musical ride5. Decades, they became famous for their musical rides. This is a trial of decision and grace, where the policeman can show off their equestrian skills. Since 2014 there has been an increase in the number of mounted police again, following a study by a university which showed that the value of the horses wa5 icebreaker5, notjust that the value of the horses wa5 icebreaker5, not just in that the value of the horses wa5 icebreaker5, notjust in public order 5ituations icebreaker5, notjust in public order situations but in Community Policing a5 order situations but in Community Policing as well. You are six times more likely to interact and chat to a Police Officer if they are the horse than if they are just on foot. Of course, it is all to do with the horse. I think a personable horse help5 horse. I think a personable horse helps a bit. You are much more approachable on a horse. Ifound helps a bit. You are much more approachable on a horse. I found the difference, initially, when ijoined the mounted branch, i couldnt believe how me people stopped and wa nted believe how me people stopped and wanted to speak to you. If you go to an estate, you will get a crowd around you, just pure p horse. Before they know they are talking to a Police Officer. Purely to pat the horse. This is where it all begins. Lot5 the horse. This is where it all begins. Lots of the policeman who join the mounted force of not renominate horse before they start training. Not been on a horse. 16 weeks later, the trust between Police Officer in horse is so great that they will even run through walls together. There is so much i can do on a horse. But this gives me a taste of what it is like. Jumping the fence is, taking up their jackets, and having the trust to power through the final war. Wall. They wouldnt let me do it on a horse but i didnt want to miss out. That feeling, when you come up to the wall, i can imagine how the horse is feeling, but they go through it. You are an action man. The decision not to let you on a horse was clearly evidence base. Ye5, horse was clearly evidence base. Yes, it was wi5e. Tho5e sources are very precious. Thank you, mike.

We always liked at this time of year when viewers send us their pictures, because you get them from weather watchers a5 because you get them from weather watchers as well. And we will be getting load5 watchers as well. And we will be getting loads of the snow which occurred overnight, and i will be showing some. And if you have any p i ctu res showing some. And if you have any pictures at home, we would love to see them. Get in touch the usual way, twitter, facebook or e mail. Now, its time for click. Today we are in manchester, at the childrens global media summit, a meeting of those who make the content that our children will be watching in the coming years. Its an event with some very important speakers. Parents, like catherine and me, are raising the first generation of digitally immersed children. And this gives us many reasons to be optimistic about the impact of technology on childhood. And before the duke of cambridge gave his speech to the audience, i managed to grab a quick interview with one of the most talked about couples in the country. So how are you finding the conference so far . Because, to be honest, my kids get more about the staff of the furcherster hotel than at the powers that be, behind the scenes. But the discussions taking place here will shape the type of content that children will watch in the future and how content providers will meet the expectations of the next generation of viewers. Now, if you want to know what children are up to, why not ask them . Kids insight runs anonymous questionnaires for 400 kids every week to gather data about the latest trends, hottest new characters, and online habits. Because, of course, its not all about what kids need there is a big industry that wants to make money, here, and target those young minds with messages and merchandise. We do find surprising the amount of children that are viewing youtube without any parental guidance or oversight. We find its probably about a third, maybe less than a third of under tens, their parents arent monitoring what they are watching on youtube at all. And thats also a theme here how to protect children from harmful content and stop them being exploited by the increasingly personal, interactive, and Immersive Technologies that theyre using. Its a massive concern for many parents, but there are moves to try and make children more savvy about online safety, as Lara Lewington found out when she went back to school. The opportunity for kids to access information and learn has never been bigger. But with that comes a challenge. The threats online are clear to see. But an increasing number of children are becoming aware of the dangers and how to steer clear. Never click on a link in an e mail unless you are absolutely sure who it is from. Basically, these are how many attackers are coming in cause the firewall is off. This week an investigation into paedophiles using Live Streaming apps led to nearly 200 arrests, including teachers, medics, and law enforcers. A batch of leading brands suspended advertising from youtube after suspect comments remained beside videos featuring children. This is not long after the site hit the headlines when its algorithms were found to be pulling inappropriate content into its kids app, which was then viewed by children. Of course, the company protests it does all they can, age restricting content in the main app as well is aiming to protect those using youtube kids altogether. In light of the most recent issues, its also adding an extra 10,000 moderators to act alongside the software, aiming to keep kids safe. But with such a wealth of information out there, who can actually be held accountable for what is published . First and foremost, the Tech Companies themselves need to be held accountable. And i mean at the ceo level. All of these platforms have an enormous responsibility to the kids and families in their audience, cause theyre making billions of dollars off of them. Second, we also need to see some kind of regulation that 0fcom or others could provide that would say this is appropriate or not on these platforms. Because if you think that Tech Companies will self regulate, then you are kidding yourself. But at the same time the benefits of this sort of Online Access cant be ignored. Here at this Central London school, pupils are taking part in idea, the digital and enterprise version of the duke of edinburgh award. Hello, so what are you all up to, here . I am doing a safety badge. The challenges are open and free to all ages, even adults, to provide real life skills. And they can be done anywhere, any time. The pupils are covering a range of subjects, including creating virtual reality, the importance of colour in photography. Its, in essence, the different types of colours. If you want to get an eerie retro feel, youd reduce the hue and saturation. As well as some of the more serious issues surrounding safety online. What are the main things you feel you have come away from this so far having learned . For all my devices i used to put the same password. So if the hackers knew one of my passwords they would be able to get anything. So i learned that and i tried to change my passwords for everything, even the school website. So i am just going to carry on with the badge. It is not just about whether or not you have done gcse computer science, it is about can you actually manipulate or apply the knowledge . So what were trying to do it in such a way that they have the opportunity of learning at themselves, was at the Centre Making them aware of the dangers and pitfalls that we all see on a daily basis. Over 100,000 of these bronze awards have been achieved. The silver to be released next april. And in a world where fake news has dominated the headlines, targeting us on what to think or buy, there will be a category called critical thinking, focusing on just that. It will teach the importance of how to substantiate, verify, and trust sources. And at the childrens global media summit, the bbc also announced a scheme teaching how to avoid fake news. But the real news right now is that while there may still be a way to go for things to be totally safe online, kids are becoming more aware and maybe at some point soon will be the ones educating the grown ups. You see, it is. How can you see, it is so small. Yes, i have finished the badge. Well done. How are you feeling . Woohoo here is a nice little ar app for kids. You download and print off your favourite character from cbeebies, colour it in however you like, and then you pick up your tablets, and look. There is the duck. You can draw other characters, as well. For example, here is my favourite, who has the power and the speed, and she zooms away. Not that im a fan or anything. And, from some pretty decent visual effects there, to some absolutely top of the range visual effects now, in the form of one of the biggest films of the year, paddington 2. Dontjust take my word for it. Ask rotten tomatoes, where it scored 100 . We sat down with the man who is responsible for bringing paddington from peru to the big screen, for a World Exclusive look at how he did it. Parents, spoiler alert. Were about to take paddington apart. Whats this . This is london. One of the key areas that we began with is previs, or pre visualisation. Its working in an extremely low fi fashion, to be able to practically explore camera angles, moves, using working with animators who have a familiarity with paddington himself. Filming without paddington, it makes the process extremely abstract, thats for sure. And so we employ a variety of techniques. Quor the best part, there is a stand in called lauren, who is about paddingtons height. And shell give us, everyone on the set, a brilliant insight into paddingtons presence. You dont want to make the work in post very difficult or expensive, by having to paint lots out, so you try and minimise what is in the place of paddington on the shot. I think the things that are most difficult are where paddington is interacting with objects or people in the plate. So you always need somebody to do that, to create either the you know, touch the cloth thats going to be touched. Theres statistic that, if you put all the man hours together, it would be 75 years of someones life to do all the visual effects on paddington. So that sort of gives you a bit of perspective on how much work is involved. Fundamental was that he lives in that you would believe him. He had to be hyperrealistic, he had to live in a real space. But you know, were always very careful to not reveal too much whites of the eyes, to have eyes that sort of look too cartoony, to contain all the gestures. Often an animator will first pick up paddington, and theyll go for very obvious statements, and paddington is not about that. You take it all away. Its all in whats absolutely necessary. And its a sort of small shift of the brow here, and a dart there, that tells you hes thinking. Simple little scenes like the one where he travels through the prison, its transforming, and youre seeing his effect on the place, and everyone is making cakes, that was a massively complicated sequence, because of the very artisan sort of way in which we wanted to make this prison transform, and that sort of Michel Gondry like musical appearance to all the things. But no, theres a lot of augmentation, always, through the film. I think probably almost every shot you could point to something and go, 0k, well, that photograph has been inserted in that frame, and that sky has been changed there, or that bridge didnt exist, you know. And theres a lot of that stuff, all very understated. Howling. 0w. Thank you, mr brown. And thats it from the short cut of click from the childrens global media summit. Did you enjoy it, dm . Yes, me too. And theres more on the full length version, which you can see on iplayer, now. Dont forget we live on twitter every day, every week. Thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. There hello, this is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Borisjohnson flies to iran to try to secure the release of a jailed british mother.
