That started injapan ten years ago, and is now taking a firm hold here in the uk. Temperatures in parts of the us are predicted to fall to minus 29, as a record breaking freeze follows heavy snow caused by the so called bomb cyclone. Not quite so cold here. Stav has the details. Thank you, good morning to you. Well, it is turning much colder for all of us this weekend. Not on the plus side we should see some sunshine, particularly tomorrow, but a return to overnight frost as well. I will have all the details for you very shortly. Good morning. First, our main story a lawyer who represented victims of the serial sex offender john worboys says some of her clients whose cases werent taken to trial want to give evidence. The former black cab driver is being freed from jail after ten yea rs. He was convicted of 19 offences, although Police Believe he carried out more than 100 attacks. Lawyers say that a number of women were told that their testimony wasnt required to put worboys behind bars for a longer period of time. Tom burridge reports. The decision to release Rapistjohn Worboys has raised profound questions about the way sexual crimes against women are investigated, and whether the procedures for releasing criminals need changing. John worboys picked up need changing. John worboys picked up young women in his black cab, duped and drugged them, and then carried out his attacks. He was convicted of 19 offences in 2009, and given an indefinite sentence. But, in total, more than 100 women said worboys tried to drug and assault them. Some allegations were investigated, but no further action was taken, on the advice of the crown prosecution service. What we cant know is why the parole board has decided he now no longer poses a risk to the public. I am not allowed by law to explain the reasons for oui by law to explain the reasons for our decision, and i have said before, i would like to get that changed. And so this pushes the idea that the parole board processes need to be much more open and transparent, and we get support for that, then i think some goodwill have come out of all of this. We need to understand whether has admitted guilt in relation to the offe nces admitted guilt in relation to the offences that he was convicted for, and the police need to look again at the possibility of prosecuting him for those many further offences for which he was also suspected. Worboyss victims are said to be horrified release, and lawyers representing his other alleged victims say their evidence should 110w victims say their evidence should now be considered. And we will speak to lawyer kim harrison, who represented 11 of worboyss victims, just after 7 00am. Five Online Gambling companies could have their licenses revoked over concern they are not doing enough to help problem gamblers or prevent money launderers from using their sites. The Gambling Commission has written to all 195 Online Casino operators, to tell them about the safeguards they should all have in place. Our Business Correspondent jonty bloom reports. 0ne one third of all gambling in the uk is now online, and it is worth billions of pounds. The Gambling Commission has been reviewing the safeguards that all companies should have in place. They are designed to prevent problem gambling getting out of control, and to prevent money being laundered by criminals or terrorists. Sarah harrison, chief executive of the Gambling Commission, said. But the Commission Found many signs that customers gambling was becoming compulsive were not being followed up, and some staff had little idea of how to stop Money Laundering, or in some cases, even what it was. As a result, the Gambling Commission is warning all Online Casino operators to review their procedures, and has begun an investigation into 17 online companies. It is considering whether it should review the licences of five of them. Losing its licence would mean a company would be unable to continue to operate in the uk. President trump has taken to twitter overnight to show his continued frustration over the release of a Controversial Book documenting his first year in the white house. Calling the author of the book, michael wolff, a total loser, the president accuses him of making up stories. Mr trump also calls his former chief strategist steve bannon sloppy steve, claiming he cried when he was fired. The book, called fire and fury, has now gone on sale early, despite attempts by the white house to block its publication. The United States has been criticised by other members of the United Nations Security Council for calling an emergency meeting to discuss Anti Government protests in iran. China and france said the unrest did not threaten international security. The Iranian Ambassador called the meeting a farce, and repeated claims that the protests were directed from abroad. Easyjet, ladbrokes and virgin money are among the major employers who have been revealed to pay women, on average, at least 15 less than men. Organisations with more than 250 workers must publish their figures by april. More than 500 have done so. Another 8,000 must do by april, or risk being fined, under a new law intended to tackle workplace discrimination. A plane has been evacuated after two jets collided on the tarmac at toronto airport, the second incident there in five months. 168 passengers and six crew on board one of the aircraft had to escape by emergency slides. The tail of the other plane, which was empty, caught fire. Last year two planes, which were also on the ground, clipped their wings. Weather forecasters in the United States have warned that the weekend could bring record breaking low temperatures in some parts of the north east. The National Weather service predicts wind chills as low as minus a0 degrees celsius. Lets find out more from meteorologist cheryl nelson, who is in virginia. Had to have you with us. Thank you very much forjoining us. We are hearing all sorts of new weather turns, a bomb cyclone and these amazing temperatures as well. Yes, so amazing temperatures as well. Yes, so the bomb cyclone, the actual name for that is bombogenesis, and that isa for that is bombogenesis, and that is a neurological term and that means you have a one millimetre fall in 2a hours, and we had double that. So this storm intensified at a rapid rate, and we had snow. 12 to 18 inches across parts of the North Eastern part of the country. I am in norfolk tom virginia, where we had ten inches of snow. And now we are dealing with part two. At two is that it cold weather you talked about, a good 20 fahrenheit below normal as we head into the day tomorrow and sunday, as well, for much of the eastern parts of the United States. You know, cheryl, often when we get poor weather and we have had some snow, nothing compared with what you guys are going through, we always complain it ta kes going through, we always complain it takes us a little bit by surprise, and we struggle to deal with it. How are people dealing with it in the United States, where they have been hit hardest . Well, the good news about this storm is it was very well forecast so people knew what was coming. Nonetheless, a lot of people think they are prepared and they go out on the icy roads because the secondary roads are a mess, the primary roads are ok but there have been numerous reports of people getting stuck in the snow, car accidents, and also there is nowhere to put the snow. Cities like norfolk, virginia, we are not accustomed to getting close to a foot of snow. In an interesting fa ct, foot of snow. In an interesting fact, yesterday the city of norfolk had 91 truckloads of snow which they actually took to the parking lot of oui actually took to the parking lot of our local baseball stadium because they had nowhere else to put it. So they had nowhere else to put it. So they dumped it in the stadium . They dumped the snow in the stadium . They dumped it in the stadium . They dumped the snow in the stadium7m the parking lot of the stadium, not in the stadium. 0h the parking lot of the stadium, not in the stadium. Oh my goodness, that is one way to deal with it. So you have had a of snow, you are saying. What about. Where are the worst hit parts of the country, and in terms of the forecast going forwards, what is expected to happen next . The worst hit parts of the country will actually be the north east, so places like massachusetts, the boston area, they had not only 12 to 18 inches of snow, but also they had tidal flooding as well. So you had that water flooding in from the atlantic 0cean, water flooding in from the atlantic ocean, and a lot of peoples homes we re ocean, and a lot of peoples homes were flooded and you had icy water flowing down streets. People lost their vehicles. So i feel especially bad for residents of eastern massachusetts. Heading into the weekend, that is the bitter cold. The good news is, going into the second half of january, the good news is, going into the second half ofjanuary, we might have somewhat of a january saw, which we need across the eastern pa rt which we need across the eastern part of the United States to get rid of all at snow thaw. So everyone can get back to a somewhat normal life. Well, we wish you all well. You have obviously been some fatalities as well, so we are very mindful of the weather hurting people as well. Thank you so much for telling us what it is like that. Good luck. Thank you so much. Plans to improve reading standards amongst children from disadvantaged backgrounds have been announced by the department of education. There will be a network of 35 literacy teaching centres across england, to work with primary schools that are in challenging areas. Labour says the funding will do nothing to change government cuts to school budgets. There will also be schemes to improve the vocabulary of Pre School Children in the north of england. Church, cheese. Can you hear that . Closing the inequality gap in classrooms is key to giving every child the best start. Research has shown that five year olds who struggle with language are six times less likely to reach the expected standard in english at the age of 11 than those with good language skills. Today, the government has launched literacy hubs backed by a £6 million of investments to improve standards in reading and writing. The idea, similar to one launched in 2014 for maths, will enable high performing schools to share knowledge and resources with those in deprived areas. This is about investing around the country, winning together teachers and literary specialists, so we can make sure we do even better on reading and writing standards, but also that we dont see any children falling behind. The plans also include a £5 Million Investment to include vocabulary for children before they go to school in the north of england. Labour says the funding will do nothing to change government cuts to school budgets. A bar owner has been left shaken but not stirred after being reunited with what is thought to be the most expensive vodka bottle in the world. Made of gold and silver, with a diamond encrusted replica of the russian imperial eagle on its cap, this extravagant bottle on a construction site in the city. But it is not believed the theft will affect its value, and the bar owner says he simply intends to fill it up again. So maybe someone drank it, but it is the bottle and not the vodka which was valuable. Dry january. Lets have a look at the saturday morning papers. The daily mailfront page, the nhs saying dont get ill. We we re the nhs saying dont get ill. We were talking about coping with the winter nhs crisis, telling the public not to get ill. Following an exceptionally busy week for the nhs, people have been urged to stay well this week. This advice has included stocking up on medicines, wrapping up stocking up on medicines, wrapping up warm, and trying to nip any early symptoms of cold in the bud. The daily mirrors front story is that one of those convicted in killing james bulger in the 19905 is to face another trial, this time over allegations of possessing child abuse images. He is now 35 and has a new identity, and for that reason it has been decided that the trial will be held in secret, in private. We will find out later what happened, but the mirror are asking questions about whether that should happen. The date and place of the trial and the details as it happens will not be publicised. The Financial Times this weekend, their top story is fire and fury, the book about being in5ide fire and fury, the book about being inside the white house, and donald trump has been tweeting a5 inside the white house, and donald trump has been tweeting as recently a5 trump has been tweeting as recently as an hourago trump has been tweeting as recently as an hour ago deriding it. And productivityjumping as an hour ago deriding it. And productivity jumping at the fastest rate for six years during the Third Quarter last year year, raising hopes for a turnaround in the uk economy. And when ben was here yesterday he said that car sales have dropped to the lowest in six years, have dropped to the lowest in six yea r5, partly have dropped to the lowest in six year5, partly because we feel we dont have enough extra money in our pockets to spend on luxury goods. Also reflecting on the future of diesel cars. And the Daily Telegraph has lilyjones in the darkest 0ur, talking about her own family connections to the Second World War darkest hour. And we expect some kind of reshuffle of the cabinet in the next week or two on the speculation is thatjeremy hunt might be promoted to become deputy prime minister, but theresa may is torn over whether it is the right time to do that, and it might look like she was promoting him at a time when the nhs is struggling. That might affect that reshuffle. You pointed that picture out of lily jone5, pointed that picture out of lily jones, i have made a list of pictures i want to see. Darkest hour look5 excellent, and a5 pictures i want to see. Darkest hour look5 excellent, and as i said, gary 0ldman play5 winston churchill. And gearing up towards the oscars in march and april, all these films competing for it. We talked about some amazing temperatures in america. What about here. Look at it. Canadian arctic air. Its been acro55 look at it. Canadian arctic air. Its been across this part of the world for weeks. An extremely cold spell. These are daytime temperatures. 11 degrees in new york. The average is around three degrees. Minu5 seven celsius. At night, even colder. It looks like toronto, quebec, genuine generally 23, 25 degrees. After that moves out, then there is ice. Tho5e temperatures will be coming up a little less cold. Back home, things are set to turn colder was well this weekend. Not as cold as that. If you dont mind the cold and enjoy the sunshine, it will be pleasant. We start with a lot of cloud around, particularly for england and wales. The wearers you are heading out. Some rain in some hill snow affecting part5 are heading out. Some rain in some hill snow affecting parts of north wales, central and Northern England. You can see the blob5 of white indicating snow. A bit of cloud to start from northern ireland. The generally speaking, a cold start for scotland. A sunny day to much of scotland. A sunny day to much of scotland. Then into Northern England i5 scotland. Then into Northern England is as cold northerly pu5h pushes the band southward. By is as cold northerly push pushes the band southward. By the end of the afternoon, most of the cloud with showery rain will be across southern england. As you can imagine, tonight, with those clearing skies, even tonight, with those clearing skies, eve n a cross tonight, with those clearing skies, even across the south, a really cold one. You can see the blue cover blue collar extending southwards. A bit more to freeze across the south east. You can see temperatures across freezing. Very cold further north. It means sunday, a very cold start but plenty of crisp winter sunshine. A bit more of a breeze across the south east. Further north, that will be lighter. You can see this area of pressure. Gradually through monday, we will start to see the cloud increasing. Thank you very much, stav. Keep those big blue patches away. Lets find out some more because jane and jason are here with the film review. Hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases im joined by Jason Solomons. What have you been watching this week . This week, we find out what happened when Christopher Plummer replaced kevin spacey in Ridley Scotts all the money in the world, a kidnap drama set mainly in 19705 italy but also on a huge estate in england. And saddle up for the return of the wild west. But is it the western revived or revised in hostiles . Christian bale and Rosamund Pike, take to the wide open spaces for the violence of the wild west. And ben stiller checks in for a midlife crisis in brads status, a comedy about middle age and loss and reflecting on your existence while you take your son to colleges. But lets start with all the money in the world. Im reeling from the fact that Christopher Plummer is 88, because he looks astonishing. That is what you can do with all the money in the world, a lot of cgi john paul getty, who kevin spacey was playing, and the film has been despaceyed and replaced very famously by Christopher Plummer, the very feat of that is what marks this film out as a footnote in film history. Extraordinary from ridley scott to reshape his film around a new performance in Christopher Plummer. We watch the film now, especially in this climate, trying to see the join, to see if there was a ready break glow of cgi inserts from Christopher Plummer. Can we spot the ghost of kevin spacey you cant at all. The film is seamlessly done, and the reshoots are beautifully done and i think Christopher Plummer is fabulous in the role ofjohn paul getty. I think they would have been a different. Ridley scott talked about how Christopher Plummer has a twinkle in his eye, whereas kevin spacey has a more cold look, more evil look, and i think that gives the film a lot more heart. We kind of pityjohn paul getty for being the richest man, but he is notjust the richest man but the richest man there has ever been in the world. And his grandson is kidnapped. Yes, thats the essence. It was a huge media case back in the 19705, it gripped the world, asjohn paul getty refused to pay the ransom, 17 million, which back in 1973 was quite a lot of money the point was that it became this kind of case and he refused to budge and i think we are supposed to seejohn paul getty as a curmudgeonly scrooge type, but Christopher Plummer gives it a real edge. There is a fabulous speech about him not trusting people, only objects, of which he amasses a huge amount. They dont give him grief. But the rest of the film is going on, Michelle Williams, golden globe nominated, and we will find out the results from la on monday morning. The film has been nominated for, i guess, the feat of scott getting it together. Christopher plummer is nominated for that performance and Michelle Williams is nominated for the performance of gayle, the mum, and here she is wandering my son, paul, must be very frightened right now. I know im frightened for him. So, to the people who took him, i dont care why you did this, but i ask as a mother that you think of your own children or the child that you once were and set my boy free. Thank you. Her sons disappeared. A mother should cry for her son. Enough. Let the lady through. Lets go miss getty, im corvo. Im the lead investigator. Would you please follow us. Tell us more. You said you had the money. Im a big fan of Michelle Williams, and she has spoken quite nicely about how she felt ridley scott was trying to really show this horrendous story of the kidnap of a child through the mothers eyes. Does that work, does it come through . It is there. She reminded me of Katherine Hepburn with that accent. The problem is i didnt know who i should be watching. Obviously the story between kevin spacey and Christopher Plummer deflected a lot, and i was watching plummer and its quite a hammy role, asjohn paul getty. Shes doing something else. And then youve got the son, played by charlie plummer, no relation, kidnapped and held hostage in calabria by the italian mafia. The ndrangheta. So you never quite know what the centre of the story is. For me, it became about plummer, and it kind of eclipses Michelle Williams, who is very good in the role, and the film looks good in a classic ridley scott smooth way. Itjust didnt get to the heart of the matter. Your heart went out to what it must be like to being the richest man in the world. Its something ive been contemplating thats curious and rather enjoying. Curious is the next film going to be quite brutal . I have heard lots about it but not seen it, hostiles. There is always room for one or two westerns per year now. It used to be what hollywood and america was made on. But now hostiles, i think we can tell there is irony in the title. Its what american armies called, what american cowboys and soldiers used to call the native americans, the injuns they were known as. Were not allowed to call them that now. When you have a film that revises that, what do you do about the brutality of the old west . The way of the gun. This film opens with Rosamund Pike and her entire family wiped out by comanche indians, so you are already thinking, i dont see where the balance is with a new look at the west, where we expect White America to be slightly kind of apologetic for the way native americans were treated. This film doesnt do that, which is rather brave of it. Christian bale is the army man who has to escort a posse of cheyenne indians back to their natural homeland, and they come under attack from comanche indians. It is about warring factions. Nobody comes out of it particularly well. It is fairly brutal and bleak landscape. But i think that is what it was like. So that realism that is coming into the western, that revisionism of what the hero is, pat garritt, and going back to billy the kid or dances with wolves with kevin costner. But it doesnt quite tell it from the point of view of the indian. Quite a tough watch . It is. And you dont get the payoff that you usually get with the hero emerging. A bit more uplift in our third choice today, i say with some hope . Its a comedy, but a maudlin one, about ben stiller experiencing a midlife crisis. I thought this was very funny, directed by mike whyte, who people might know as the director of school of rock forjack black. This is about ben stiller who has to take his son, troy, on a tour of colleges. Americans do this, flying off to see which colleges they want to get into, one of which is harvard. Ben stiller was never able to get into it, as brad but his son troy harbours great ambitions of getting into it. But it sparks in brad, a reminiscence about all of his College Chums and how much better than him they have all done at life. A ha. I couldnt help but wonder, when was the last time craig fisher flew in economy . Probably not in decades. Mr fisher, can i offer you a warm towel . Yes, thank you. I know Jason Hadfield has his own private plane. Never has to fly commercial at all. Nick pascale probably flies private, too. Must be nice to always have the seas part for you. Nothing out of reach. Everything an option. It must be like a drug, always feeling important and special. Better than, all the adventures, the exotic destinations. 0h, great. So does everyone leave the cinema feeling completely inadequate . A first world problem. They are. He envies everyone, his sons youth, his sons friends, they are all perky and bright. But then he confesses to them and they say, to pull yourself together, mate. You are all right. You live in sacramento, thats about the only thing you have done well. Its about assessing those things, and i thought it was painfully smart and painfully funny, well done and very well performed by ben stiller, who i think we think of as a cometic performer, doing his blue steel lot. We do, yes. But he does this well and he gets that midlife crisis very well, but perhaps its a bit close to home for me, not that my son is at college yet. Lets talk about something lovely. Why not. The best out. You ask me this, i still have to say paddington 2. It is notjust the best out, it is one of the best films of last year and stretching into this year. It is doing great box office. And i think he isjust adorable in all his little outfits, lost in the big city of london. I mean, ive seen it twice. If i was the richest man in the world, id go and see paddington 2 every day. In your own private jet. Surely you would have one of those, Jason Solomons . To stay in . I would get the dvd of limehouse gollum, it is out now. This is a sort of east end set victorian melodrama style. Starring the great bill nighy and a wonderful performance from 0livia cooke, a young british actor. Danny mays. About murders going on. A jack the ripper style thriller set in the east end with the london fog and people out and about like 0liver creatures going out and going oom pah pah, but a grisly murder at the bottom of it, and it captures that gothic horror of london very, very well. Interesting and well done. And as you have hinted, award season is nearly upon us, so well be talking plenty in the coming weeks. Thank you for now, Jason Solomons. A taster of what is on offer this week. Quick reminder before we go, all our film news and reviews from across the bbc are online. Sure you know the address but there it is, bbc. Co. Uk mark kermode.

The National Weather service predicts wind chills as low as minus 40 degrees celsius. Thousands of flights have been cancelled and up to 19 people have lost their lives. Those are this mornings main news headlines. Mike is here with the sport. To win cricket matches you have to take perhaps more than two wickets in a day. That is all england managed on the final day of the third day of the final ashes test. Australia very much on top once again but i can cheer you up with some fa cup excitement shortly. It has been another morale sapping day for englands bowlers in the sydney sunshine. Despite taking the wickets of steve smith and Usman Khawaja early, it is advantage australia. The marsh brothers, mitchell and shaun, are the ones punishing englands bowlers now. Mitchell has made 50, while shaun closes in on a century. Australia now 454 4, a lead of 108. 0nto the fa cup third round, one of the highlights of any sporting year, because all the top teams enter the competition. And, in the merseyside derby, the worlds most expensive defender scored the winner for liverpool, while Manchester United left it late to beat derby county at old trafford. Drew savage rounds up both matches. The pressure lifted off the shoulders of the man with a £75 million pricetag on his back. A debut to remember for Virgil Van Dijk ona debut to remember for Virgil Van Dijk on a night that provided plenty of talking points. For example, was this a penalty . The liverpool boss, klpp, this a penalty . The liverpool boss, klopp, didnt think so, but the referees was the opinion that counted. James milner the calmest man at anfield. Mason holgate was not. There was bound to be a reaction from firmino, the referee madly decided to step in. Liverpool had had most of the play but everton countered with some quality, Gylfi Sigurdsson with a worthy second half equaliser. Until the big moment arrived for a certain dutch defender. A decent looking corner kick, but didnt get it, van dijk did. The man brought to strengthen their defence delighted fans and manager alike with a winning goal. Yes, in front of the goal, makes it even better. Really good. It was a merseyside derby, so that extra push for both teams, and you saw that tonight. It was a proper, proper cup fight, and i like that. Championship side derby had put on a proper flight side derby had put on a proper flight away to Manchester United, who were six minutes away from a replay when this happened. Lingard, good hands. He has done it again lingard, magnificent strike. Derby will be free to concentrate on their push tojoin will be free to concentrate on their push to join Manchester United in the premier league. Lukaku wrapped things up at the end, the site please to avoid another defeat. As you saw, a rather unsavoury incident in the first half of that match. Lets have another look. Holgate does push firmino into the stands, and afterwards it appears firmino says something unwelcome in portuguese as the players come together. The referee has included it in his report, but they were not looked at the time. It is something we may hear more about in the coming hours and days. 0n fa cup third round weekend, we were looking forward to seeing the return of jamie vardy to his old club, fleetwood town. But he is injured, so it seems unlikely he will be risked by leicester in the first cup tie of the day. Elsewhere, there are Nine Premier League teams hoping to avoid an upset against lower league teams, while there is an intriguing contest at the etihad. The Runaway Premier League leaders, manchester city, take on burnley, this seasons surprise package, who are seventh in the table. Of course we are going to rotate in some players, but the focus is going to burnley, and what they have done so far is difficult. They do not concede goals. They have received one goal, the other games all 1 0, 10. And one goal, the other games all 1 0, 1 0. And they show a strong physicality. The feud between Manchester United Managerjose Mourinho and Chelseas Antonio Conte appears to be escalating. In mourinhos latestjibe, he said he would never be suspended for match fixing. Conte was given a four match ban a few years ago for failing to report match fixing at his previous club, siena, although he was later cleared of any wrongdoing. Mourinho was responding after conte said he was getting old and losing his memory when it came to his own touch line antics. Bath ended their three match losing run in rugby unions premiership last night with a comfortable 46 25 victory at struggling worcester. They pulled away after the break with a flurry of tries, lockjames phillips going over for only the second time in his 63 league games to secure the bonus point for bath. In the pro14, scarlets have opened up a seven point lead at the top of conference b with a dominant, 47 13 bonus point win over dragons. The victory means scarlets are unbeaten in five welsh derbies this season. Elsewhere, edinburgh beat southern kings. It is the sport that fuses gymnastics and free running, and now, you can go on and become a professional ninja. Ten years after it started as a tv contest injapan, athletes in the uk are getting ready for the fifth championship here. So i went along to one of the dozens of places where you can start on a ninja course indeed, europes largest one, in manchester. How long does it take to become a ninja . To become a professional, 50 yea rs. Ninja . To become a professional, 50 years. But for someone like you, gymnastic, athletic. I went years. But for someone like you, gymnastic, athletic. Iwent to have a look at europes biggest one. Running up the wall, hanging upside down, the increasingly common ninja. It is one of the new sporting crazes to be hitting the uk, and it started injapan. To be hitting the uk, and it started in japan. Straightaway you to be hitting the uk, and it started injapan. Straightaway you can see how challenging ninja course gives, with just the simple person swings, if you like, testing even the best of them.

You are climbing, youre twisting your body, from the core areas. I think if you go to a normal gym yu areas. I think if you go to a normal gym you are not getting anywhere near to ninja warrior. This does bring out the inner slot in you. Whilejohnny trains bring out the inner slot in you. While johnny trains on bring out the inner slot in you. Whilejohnny trains on the professional course in manchester, there are beginner slopes to get you started as you raise your mates for fun, building up to the intermediate and advanced courses, where the falls get bigger. A lot of these obstacles falls get bigger. A lot of these o bsta cles it falls get bigger. A lot of these obstacles it is about the technique in the preparation. I know it is a race, but it is in the planning as well. Look at that for a role, though, eh . Roll. This is the best place, in the end, isnt it . Though, eh . Roll. This is the best place, in the end, isnt mm is completely different to your normal gym. So you have all the ninja obstacles, it is challenging, it is fun. And i think the gym can bea it is fun. And i think the gym can be a little bit boring, so this keeps you motivated, and having fun. It is mentally and physically challenging. So it doesnt matter how fit you are, you need to have a certain technique to get accustomed to the apparatus. Ninja courses around the world have become famous for their various challenges, like the spider wall. The trouble is, the longer you stay on this, the more sweaty you get. I think i am ready tojump. Sweaty you get. I think i am ready to jump. Just the fact that you think you cant do it and you just do it. And you have your friends like her who are motivated, and once you do it, even better. And the infamous climb at the end, when you eventually get there. That set. Thatis eventually get there. That set. That is it. Ninja warrior. A bit of cheating, maybe. But you do feel like youre one with the universe. There you are, the defending champion, johnny. It does bring out the inner child. I like the fact you could do the beginner courses, the childrens courses, a bit like skiing, the beginner up to the black run, which is the professional ninja course. Is that the one you are doing . I did a couple of things, but i could never complete it. I did the slot bar. There was that one with a guy. I think that is called the sammon bar. And johnny is one of the few who can do it salmon. Sammon bar. And johnny is one of the few who can do it salmon. It is like a soft play for adults, isnt it . Lets bring you up to date with the main stories. Alleged victims of the serial sex offenderjohn worboys, whose cases were not taken to trial, say they want their day in court. In freezing temperatures recorded across the east coast of america in the aftermath of what is known as a bomb cyclone. Yesterday we were talking about this. You heard about this last latte levy. A lot of people are taking disposable coffee cups, and the idea is that if you dont use one of those throwaway cups, then you would get a discount if you took your own plastic cup. The inside of those is lined with plastic so it makes it difficult to recycle when they are not plastic cups. Lots of you have got in touch with pictures to the racks as facebook and twitter pages, including rachel, who collected 29 coffee cups in less than a mile, Walking Around near her home in falkirk on her afternoon walk with her dog. That is incredible, isnt it . One of our viewers got 50p off their coffee at gordon street in glasgow. That is because they used their reusable cup. So giving people discounts rather than charging people extra. Another viewer said they have been using this awesome to raonic cup, and not a paper they have been using this awesome to raonic cup, and nota paper cup, as it says proudly. And it still hasnt smashed, well done. I have one at home. The ceramic ones . It is actually a plastic one, which makes me wrangle with how environ mentally friendly it is, but i reuse it. Stav has a weather for us. What about the state of the weather in the uk . Not as cold here as it is in the uk . Not as cold here as it is in the North Eastern United States.

We are all good to go, brendan, you happy . So what were going to do is go to silence, please, and go to black. Lose the house lights. Announcer this is bbc click live. Please welcome your host, Spencer Kelly cheering and applause erm. Right there. Hello welcome. My own floor welcome to click live and have we got a show for you. have we got a show for them . We have, were ready to go. Laughter we have some really Amazing Things for you tonight. Weve got some things that noise, weve got some things that fly, we have some things for you to taste. Some of it wont work, 0k . Laughter bear with us, because hopefully the stuff that does work fingers crossed, and a lot of it has in rehearsals it is a world first, and you wont see this anywhere else, and no one has seen this before you. Before any of that, i have to introduce you to the other half of the show. Please welcome to the stage kate russell. Applause brilliant, isnt it . When they said id have my name in lights, i was expecting more broadway than boardwalk but its a start its going to be a really, really crammed show. And i dont want you getting too comfortable, because theres a lot of audience participation. So i hope youre ready to take part. Do you want to see some tech . Crowd yes good stuff. I dont believe you. Do you want to see some tech . Crowd yes computers are a wonderful thing, but were going to put them to one sidejust for the moment. Id like to introduce you to the power of your own mind. Breathe slowly and gently, and ill discover more about you, with just a candle. Now, i sometimes get some powers and signals through, and sometimes i get things wrong. But most of the time, its right. So stay with me. I mightjust get pieces of information that come. Im starting with a. G let me just put this down for a moment. Theres a g so im going to start to pull something out of the audience. Hopefully its one of you. Im getting a. G lets start with g gareth . I think this is him. Because those are two different sites. We havejoe, and hes going to identify some people in the audience, and hes going to pretend to read their mind by telling them things about them, by reading information from them. Its actually us researching these people online and feeding that to him through a hidden earpiece. Les . Les. . It could have been a man, but i wont make wild assertions. Is there a les . Leslie . Welcome to the show. Glad youve got a microphone with you now. So were researching some of the people in the audience right now. The gentleman whos just sat down in front of us ive just found the address details of somebody who sat down at the front with her partner as well. So were researching as much as we can about the people that are in front of us. Do you have children called jack and sasha . Um. We have cats called jack and sasha. Oh, its close its close, isnt it . Ive set up a free wi fi network. Most people quite happily click free wi fi. It says please type in their name, click connect, and that is how we start. We then have their name. Its the first thing to work from. Fortunately, as well, because its quite a big event, people will like the facebook page. People will say, im at bbc click. We can see that publicly and openly. Is this legal . Completely legal, yes. Thats a question we get asked a lot. Were just looking at information people have made available themselves. But congratulations on your four year anniversary. A round of applause please. Applause theres two main lessons be careful what youre signing up for. The biggest thing thats helping us the most right now peoples social media profiles are open and public. Were not saying not to use it, just check that your profile is private. Im a complete stranger to everybody in this audience, but so far ive been able to go onto all of their profiles and look at where they were born, their pictures, their statuses. As a total stranger, you probably dont want me reading that information. So just were not saying dont use it just make it private so only your friends can see. That would protect you from all of the things weve found out so far, actually. We listen to radio, to tv, to music, to podcasts, using speakers. Big speakers in your house and small speakers that you wear in your ears or that are built into your smartphones. So im just choosing the perfect bit of coffee for the levitation. It has to be both kind of small, but also regular, and i dont think they normally make coffee beans with levitation in mind. One of the things that steve has been working on is ultrasounds, 0k . And weve got a few ultrasound demos here. So ill tell you what rather than explain more about it, shall we, uh. Just give it a whirl . So ill tell you what whos getting something there . Raise your hand if you can hear this, then drop your hand as soon as you cant hear it again. So this is unusual for a speaker, because usually when you switch a speaker on, everyone can hear it. Right now, were getting a really narrow beam. Really focused beam of sound. Imagine this is a lot like a flashlight. Imagine im pointing a torch around the room. Youd only see certain parts of it. This is the same idea, except with sound. So were focusing the sound and we can focus all that energy, all that sound energy, in a specific place. Wow this is the weirdest and slowest and most continuous mexican wave ive ever seen. In my direction. Ssgpgggmmx fir w , seriously . I tell you what this is not if. If; if ; 24 2 weirdness weve got. It gets even weirder. Pop that down, for goodnesss sake. This looks like its landed from another planet. This is incredible. Stephen, for the second time tonight, what on earth is going on . So, if we can in here, you can see theres quite a regular pattern on some of these. I cant get too close because it disrupts the sound field. But maybe you can see theres a few balls a bit of a gap. So how are you using ultrasound to actually make stuff levitate . Well, these speakers are producing a big ultrasound signal, thats making a standing wave. And in between the gaps of the standing wave, the balls can get trapped and they get kept in the same place. Oh, wow well, thats fantastic. In fact, thats so amazing, steve, i think we deserve a drink. Would you mix us one . Yes, of course, spencer. Fantastic, right. This is the weirdest drink. We rehearsed that, could you tell . What is this, steve . Weve got a lovely, lovely delight for you today. Its a single grain of coffee with a, uh. Drop of milk, all levitating in the middle of the air. Its a latte. Laughter you have to have it in, though. You cant have it to go, unfortunately. Right, so im going to try this. My tongues not long enough. Really slowly. Laughter 0h you got it applause thats really. Coffee y. Thats like really, really strong. Is that supposed to be that strong . Yes, yeah. Thats what weve found. Sugar tastes sweeter, and coffees bitter. Fantastic. Sri, steve, thank you very much. A round of applause for sri, steve and the ultrasound latte applause there were so many amazing demos and displays in the show that we just cant fit it into this program. Heres a look at some of the other highlights from our evening of delight. We transformed our tech loving audience into musicians, as kate and i conducted the biggest ever micro bit processor orchestra. Lets have some more micro bits over here in the air. Ok, lets have a few at the back. Hold those up. I can see them all in the sky. We are still waiting on the guinness book of records to get back to us, though. We explored the potential of ar, with our lucky audience members left cowering as a full scale aircraft suddenly appeared over their heads. Hello, world 300,000 peoplejoined us on Facebook Live during the evening as we asked them whether robots should feel pain. Edward nemil, thank you for this question on facebook sacrificing a robot for the greater good might be necessary. Why would you want it to feel pain . If were going to keep having a servant class of robots, then we shouldnt go down that route. But the aims of increasing intelligence may make that impossible. We watched drones that study the landscape and drones that dive, as we looked at how they could help in the future. Its been absolutely amazing. Have you had a good time . Crowd yes thank you very much for watching, and we will see you soon. Bye. Cheering and applause cut it. Well done, well done, well done. Hello. This is breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. A call for the victims of serial sex attackerjohn worboys to have the chance to give evidence against him, following the announcement he is to be released from jail.
