Two demonstrators are reported to have been shot dead in iran as Anti Government protests spread across the country. A tax threat to internet firms. The security minister says facebook and google could face penalties if they dont do more to tackle terrorism. In sport, more misery for mourinho. He claims his Manchester United side were denied a clear penalty as they lose further ground on their city rivals. Good morning. First, our main story. Winds of up to 80 mph and a series of rail strikes are threatening to cause disruption as the uk prepares to see in the new year. The met office is warning of flying debris and damage to buildings as storm dylan hits Northern Ireland and parts of southern scotland, while a 24 hour walk out could hit passengers on crosscountry and south western rail services. But hundreds of thousands of people are still expected to take to the streets to celebrate, as Simon Clemison reports. Why have one night of celebration when you can have two . With this torchlit parade, hogmanay is already under way in edinburgh. Our 2a vikings have travelled down from the shetlands, on a longboatjourney, and were here to basically warm things up a bit. In london, as in scotland, security is key but despite four terror attacks this year, there will be fewer officers on duty for tonights huge fireworks display, but the met insists the numbers are right. People will be remembering those who have died and those who were injured in those attacks. We have been policing this for quite a long time now and our experience of doing that means our tactics and our way of mitigating those threats has developed along the way. But will people be able to get there . Delays and cancellations are expected on South Western Railway and crosscountry because of the strike. South western says it thinks it will be able to run three quarters of trains. The only question remaining, the weather. Edinburgh has already enjoyed some fireworks but gusts of 80 Miles Per Hour are predicted across areas of scotland and Northern Ireland. The warnings of the met office stopped by the afternoon but the dying hours of 2017 are making their presence felt. Simon clemison, bbc news. Lets cross live to simon at london waterloo, normally one of the uks busiest stations, but simon things could be very different today . Good morning. Ifeel a good morning. Ifeela bit like an unwelcome guests. But beware. There are strikes today. This is britains Busiest Railway station. It is sunday morning so its a bit quieter a nyway sunday morning so its a bit quieter anyway at this time. South western railway runs lots of services here. London is where tens of thousands of people will come to celebrate. It could feel the brunt of these strikes. If we look at the boards, a lot of services or leaving on time. There is a reduced timetable, remember. Some routes are not serviced at all. A 2a hour walkout by workers also a crosscountry. Reduced trains between newcastle and edinburgh and nothing between glass aberdeen. The dispute is about many things including the role of the guide. Your services and a lot more people. They could prove the heaviest of mixes arriving in the new year. Simon, thank you very much indeed. Well we can get more on what we can expect from storm dylan today. Matt has the details. Good morning. Is it likely to cause much disruption . It is likely to cause a lot of disruption. Those on the move today, 70, 80 miles disruption. Those on the move today, 70,80 miles per disruption. Those on the move today, 70, 80 Miles Per Hour. At the moment, it is centred just on the north coast of Northern Ireland. These were the strongest winds are at present. The biggest impact with the strength of the winds. 70, 80 Miles Per Hour gusts. They going to tra nsfer Miles Per Hour gusts. They going to transfer into southern scotland potentially through the heavy populated central belt. These areas most likely. The ferries, the bridges, keeping across the latest. And on your bbc local radio station. Conditions to improve into the afternoon. Some of you will be seeing the new year in on a high note. More details on ten minutes. Its nice that you always give us a silver lining. The security minister ben wallace has said the government should consider taxing internet firms unless they are more willing to co operate in tackling the threat of terrorism in the uk. In an interview in the sunday times, mr wallace said technology fims that refused the Security Services access to encrypted messages were turning the internet into an anarchic, violent space. The point that ben wallace makes is that we are more vulnerable than to terror attacks and although we have seen terror attacks and although we have seen so called Islamic State group almost defeated militarily militarily in syria, the group still has a presence on line and is calling out to supporters to carry out attacks at home in their own countries. Ben wallace as saying that google, facebook and youtube still not going far enough in identifying extremist material. He also talks about the encrypted messaging apps like whatsapp, which are places where attacks can be organised. He says the result of all this is that more human surveillance is needed. 3000 suspects on watch lists in the uk. That sort of human surveillance needs to be carried out. He also talks about the cost of de radicalising people in part because they have had access to extremist material on line. The costs of deradicalisation for Government Agencies is very high. He puts for this idea of taxing internet firms, he keen on the pocket to incentivise them. Preventing extremist material from going up in the first place. Thats not government policy, that is an idea that ben wallace as security minister is putting forward. This is very clearly that patience has run out with the tech firms. 2018 needs to be and i dashed a year the change. He says we have not heard a response from google and facebook. But they are putting more work into this area. Thank you very much. Two demonstrators are reported to have been shot dead in iran as Anti Government protests spread throughout the country, reaching the capital, tehran. The wave of unrest which began last week, is the most serious since the authorities suppressed months of protests in 2009. Jon ironmonger reports. A crack of gunshots as panic ripples the a crowd in the western city daroud. Later, a wounded man is carried through the streets. It is being reported a number of people have been killed following an escalation of violence and three days of unrest. Late into the night, demonstrators attacked targets with links to the government and the ruling clerical elite. In karamabad, the Governors Office was burned. In the Northern City of a mashhad, Police Motorbikes were set alight while crowds taunted the Security Services. What started as a provincial process about rocketing prices has become deeply political and moved to the capital tehran, where offices were pelted with stones near the main university. Riot police were used to quell the disturbance. This video shows a baby being taken to hospital, apparently suffering from the effects of tear gas. It is thought the iranian authorities have reacted by cutting access to the internet in many cities, especially to mobile phones and instagram, which had become hugely popular in iran, is now said to be inaccessible. Iranian officials have vowed on state tv to double their efforts to resolve the economic problems and ploughed ahead with commemorative pro government rallies on saturday. But further protests are expected over the coming days and experts say opposing the Islamic Republic will be a colossal challenge. Do not underestimate the reggressive capability of the revolutionary guards, the resiliency of the Islamic Republic. This regime is well institutionalised in iran and can deal with protest movement such as the one that we have witnessed in the past few days. Irans ultraconservative regime is facing its biggest threat in nearly a decade, but what lengths will it go to to survive . Political leaders have been reflecting on the past 12 months in their new years messages, with theresa may calling 2017 a year of progress for the uk. The Prime Minister said the british people will feel renewed confidence and pride in 2018. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn said the hope of a new britain is closer than ever and his party is a government in waiting. Making success of brexit is crucial but it will not be the limit of our ambitions. We also have to carry on making a difference here and now on the issues that matter to peoples daily lives. The old political consensus is finished. Were staking out the new Centre Ground in british politics, backing the things which most people want but are blocked by vested interests. We are a government in waiting. If you have been enjoying the recent snow building a snow man or an Ice Sculpture. Have a look at these pictures. They are from the largest Ice Sculpture festival in the world, which takes place in china. It took more than 10,000 members of staff to construct the 2,000 sculptures. Each recreates a famous landmark and is made from ice harvested from the frozen songhua river in the north of the country. Good morning, it is new years eve and this is breakfast from bbc news. For many of us, the new year might seem like the perfect time to make ourselves fitter, wiser and more successful. But one Mental Health charity says the classic new year, new you message can increase anxiety and unhappiness. Mark rowland is from the Mental Health foundation. Hes here to tell us more. Our people unrealistic in the targets that they set for themselves, resolutions . They can be. New year is a sacred time to reflect on what has gone on before and what the future holds. I think what we are suggesting is that new years resolutions what we are suggesting is that new yea rs resolutions can what we are suggesting is that new years resolutions can become a festival of faultfinding in ourselves, can become short term goals. A lot of self criticism. We are calling for a different approach and a new way of doing new years. Focused on things that the year and things that can Carry Forward positive intentions. Just explain how it indifference from a resolution. Resolutions i quite often externally focused, quantifiable. I want to lose a few pounds, run a bit faster. But the theme is about getting closer to the real motivation. It might be about becoming more curious or more energetic or kinder or gentle to yourself and kinder to others and its on a spectrum. Its not something you can bail out. Looking at being to say, be more loving. It really is about making an intention about the life that you want to do, less about what you want to do and more about how you want to be. Its interesting, new years resolutions are something many people make today or tomorrow morning and sort of give up or tomorrow morning and sort of give up by or tomorrow morning and sort of give up by next weekend. Its very hard to change, isnt it . Its really ha rd to to change, isnt it . Its really hard to change. Only 8 of us follow through on our new years resolutions. But the business of making a change in our lives, and we all have Mental Health, we can all make steps to improve our Mental Health but its not easy. What we are calling for is much more encouragement about the small steps. Do little things, make a Firm Intention that dont necessarily put pressure to leave behind the old self. Start with the assumption that you are is ok and its about building up from that base rather than scrapping the old youth. One of the things you have talked about is the things you have talked about is the pressure that people feel on new years eve to be chipper and jolly. If you are predisposed to having problems with crowds and anxiety, its another night . Absolutely, and we are trying to highlight that it is 190 365 and to release the pressure on you , is 190 365 and to release the pressure on you, go out if you want to, a lot of people it makes them feel great but if you dont want to, i myself will be in bed at 10pm with a hot chocolate and that is absolutely fine. I will be out on other nights. I think what we are trying to say is try to the more we can listen to ourselves and understand what works for us, it is actually the first step in really developing a really positive, good Mental Health. Quite a few of us will be in bed early tonight because we will be at work early tomorrow, you are right. Ruefully, the Mental Health foundation is what you do, as 2017 with the attention focused on Mental Health with the royal family, have you seen a significant shift in the way that Mental Health is being regarded . What the way that Mental Health is being regarded . What people the way that Mental Health is being regarded . What people have said they wa nted regarded . What people have said they wanted the years, isnt it . Absolutely, and we see it and lots of different ways. Ive 10 years ago it wouldnt be included in the sort of clutch of really big social causes. We know we need to address Climate Change and cancer and poverty that people are recognising that Mental Health is absolute fundamental to us being able to thrive in life and it is a big cultural shift happening and we are going to look back on this period of time and say we were part of something that really moved the Cultural Dialogue on a fundamental pa rt Cultural Dialogue on a fundamental part of what it means to live a fulfilling life and it is exciting. Thank you fewer time, happy new year, enjoy your early night and youre hot chocolate. Its 7 17 and youre watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning new Year Celebrations are expected to go ahead in edinburgh tonight and in other cities, despite winds of 80 miles an hour threatening to cause disruption. Three days of growing Anti Government protests in iran have turned violent. Two demonstrators are reported to have been shot dead. We mentioned those stiff breezes, the strong winds that will be expected. Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. It isnt all bad news, that he is, the weather will have an impact on those of you trying to travel across country, particularly across Northern Ireland and southern scotland. This is where the met offices and the warning is in place, there will be some travel disruption and may be minor damage and the winds, close to 80 mile an hour gusts in some areas. It is all linked to storm dylan, this little book of cloud has been developing through the night and you can see the core of that is just about to spread its way into the west of hook. Scotland on the southern flank of it you can see the strong wind, Northern Ireland to the next couple of hours the peak in the wind strength, maybe 80 mile an hour gust, 70 or 80 through the morning and parts of southern scotland, maybe even the central belt. But widely southern scotland Northern Ireland and into Northern England gust over 60 miles an hour and not as windy in northern scotland, they have rain, sleet and hill snow to content with and it will be cloudy, wind picking up into the afternoon. Also, it will ease.

The sunshine for a time, wales and south west, but we will see some showers developing, heavy and thundery later on. Winds will ease across scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England into the afternoon but remaining tostaree for many and it will bring showers and to many Western Areas of the second half of new years eve.

Tuesday, the first working day of the new year, a bright and frosty rain coming from west to east, some snow as well for a time across scotland on the hills. Back to you, roger. Thank you, that. Lets catch up with the sport quickly and kat is here this morning. Jose mourinho not a happy man . Not at all, there was a time when he believed that his side should be given a penalty then maybe they would have been able to beat southampton but as it was it was a goalless draw so once again, Manchester United dropping points. That is the moment behind where he realised he wasnt going to get the penalty he sighs deserves but tough times i think for Manchester United and Manchester City obviously streaking away with it at the top of the premier league. Sojose mourinho isnt a happy man and his Manchester United side have now lost further ground on the League Leaders Manchester City after a goalless draw against southampton. Chelsea have overtaken them and moved up to second with their 5 0 thrashing of stoke, which is where alex south starts his round up of yesterdays action. Chelsea rounded off 2017 in some style. Commentator 0h, brilliant the champions demolished stoke city 5 0 to make it five wins from their last six games and push stoke further towards trouble. Today, we finished a great year a great yearfor us. For my players, for the club, for the fans, especially for me because in my First Experience in a new league in england, and to win the title is not easy. Contes team now trail leaders Manchester City by 13 points, but are up to second, courtesy of Manchester United failing to defeat southampton. It wasnt a good day forjose mourinho as he saw Romelu Lukaku stretchered off early on, and later saw the referee wave away what he thought was a certain penalty. Liverpool were up to fourth as Mohamed Salah scored his 16th and 17th league goals of the season to help the reds come from behind to win against leicester. The only negative being that salah limped off later on. At the other end of the table, there was plenty of late drama bournemouth scored an 88th minute winner against everton to move out of the bottom three, and swansea left it even later as they completed a remarkable turnaround against watford, scoring in the 86th and 90th minutes. Sacked last week by sheffield wednesday, celebrating his new sides victory six days later, Carlos Carvalhal will tell you that a week is a long time in football, let alone a year. Alex howes, bbc news. Details of all yesterdays results are on the bbc sport website. Theres two matches today leaders Manchester City can go 16 points clear if they beat crystal palace. Celtic go into the winter break 8 points clear of second placed aberdeen after the Old Firm Derby ended in stalemate. Brendan rodgers side had the best of the game in the first half with Scott Sinclair twice missing good chances. But in the second half, rangers were denied by some brilliant saves from craig gordon. They stay in third, 11 points behind the leaders. Elsewhere there were wins for hamilton, partick and dundee. Remarkable stuff coming up. Serena williams was back on a tennis court yesterday, less than four months after giving birth to her daughter. She was playing in an exhibition match in abu dhabi against the latvianjelena ostapenko. Williams lost the match on a tiebreak but said she was really proud of being able to compete. She hadnt played since winning her 23rd major singles title at januarys australian open, which she won while eight weeks pregnant. Give that woman some kind of metal medal. Ben stokes wont be flying out to australia with englands one day squad as he continues to await news of any possible charges against him from the Crown Prosecution Service following an incident outside a bristol nightclub in september. Stokes was named in the squad for the games, which begin after the fifth and final test match in sydney, but its now thought highly unlikely he will be involved in the series. Phil the power taylor will go for his 17th world title tomorrow night. He beat jamie lewis in the semifinals of the pdc world championship. But hell have to beat rob cross, the man who pulled off a major shock in the other semifinal to knock out the reigning champion and world number one michael van gerwen. Van gerwen missed six darts to win, and the 20th seed came back to win it in the deciding leg of the 11th set at gone midnight. Its the first time cross has played at the pdc championship. I was looking on, the match went on past midnight, i didnt stay up to watch it. Phil taylor was his hero and he could spoil the fairy tale. Twitter was going crazy thank you,. Thank youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Its 7 25. Time now for a look at the newspapers. Historian mike finn is here to tell us whats caught their eye. Good morning. We will speak to you ina minute. Good morning. We will speak to you in a minute. The sunday times front pages is about the security minister ben wallace, the comments weve been reporting on internet firms not doing enough to tackle terrorism. The mail on sunday ran a story about the plan for a special volunteer force to man isolated ports around the country. And the mirror lead to the country. And the mirror lead to the pitch of a newborn, this is dyla n, the pitch of a newborn, this is dylan, his grandfather was killed in the manchester bombing, he was born just before christmas. And finally the telegraph has a story, a warning to shoppers about credit card fees to shoppers about credit card fees to backfire on shoppers. Mike is here. Good to see you. New years eve. What have we got . Something about women who, if they want to have a career, they should have a husband is happy to stay at home . This is story that comes from the incoming head of the girl school association, she has said that if some of her pupils want to enjoy a full throttle career and become leaders than they maybe should look for a house husband. It isnt quite as straightforward, comments are generally for gender equality and that really, we need to have a mature conversation about how we giving up responsibilities at home. Which is quite right. She has five children and also says she has a house hunt owned and it also says she has a motorbike as well which is a fantastic photograph. It gives them a full throttle headline. Yes, but perhaps it was crew died in there. She is saying that we have these mature conversation, it isnt a straightforward as saying actually it should be women stay at home, men stay at home, it is an issue about how we giving up responsibilities in a way that enables the family to have what it wants and in scandinavia they do things differently to ours and really, the x factor she is talking about, the worklife balance and how do you manage it . Increasingly they are duds who stay at home and their wives, they are able to go out. Dads. I think the issue she raises rightly is the continuing cultural stereotype that men themselves often internalise about what is appropriate for them to do and clearly they have made progress in the country beyond that but there is still some way to go which she is making the point. Dozens of cornish people sold into slavery have been forgotten, in the telegraph. People sold into slavery have been forgotten, in the telegraphlj should forgotten, in the telegraph. should declare an interest, this is a colleague of mine, it has been undertaking a study looking at the history of piracy in cornwall in the south west and story here is as you know, in the 17 and 18th centuries the barbary pirates used to raid cornish and south western maritime communities, used to take people physically into slavery to be sold in north africa in the slave markets and the point is these communities are largely forgotten about, the tradition of that, and the community has been missed. What they are trying to do is restorative records, they are incredible, there are mentioned about families in the records pleading for money from authorities to pay ransoms and i think at a time when the government has been very strong on modern slavery in terms of legislation against it to try to pursue prosecutions against it and trot seeing the return of slave markets in north africa in the wake of failed states, this kind of tangible study of its impact in the uk communities may seem an unfamiliar history, a bit more poignant bringing it to life. Just a quick one, it will be back in one hour when we are on the bbc news channel. Social media in the country, we have heard a lot about alternative facts and fake news and most of them admit they dont check sources before sharing. But how many of us are guilty . I imagine you are not in yourjob at the rest of us, perhaps. This is a study from the syria campaign, it is looking at whether or not social media users are savvy, are they and minimal to the influence white box or foreign governments, and the reality is that he would have caught up as a society with the technology we have, we used it as read the papers and now we dont. Bots. Were not ready to outsource our faculties yet. As we said you cannot believe everything you read in the papers but you certainly cannot believe everything you see on the internet. Like, thank you. We will have more from you later. Stay with us, headlines the way. Stay with us, headlines coming up. Hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson. Good morning, heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Winds of up to 80 miles an hour and a series of rail strikes are threatening to cause disruption as the uk prepares to see in the new year.
