Good morning. First our main story. Us media reports say Donald Trumps former National Security adviser, Michael Flynn, who has admitted lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia, is prepared to give testimony that implicates the president s son in law, Jared Kushner. Mr flynn has agreed to co operate with an investigation into russian meddling in the us president ial election. Its thought hell tell investigators he was taking directions from Senior Members of Donald Trumps campaign team. The white house says mr flynn has implicated nobody but himself in the investigation. Our washington correspondent, laura bicker has more. Michael flynn, a retired three star general, left the court in washington to a familiar chant. Lock him up. He once encouraged donald Trump Supporters to use a similar version against rival hillary clinton. The 58 year old played a key party mr Trumps Campaign and often travelled with him. If i did attempt, a 10th of what she did, i would be injail attempt, a 10th of what she did, i would be in jail today. Attempt, a 10th of what she did, i would be injailtoday. She was reported with the post of National Security adviser he was. What was forced to resign afterjust 23 days when his contacts with russia to discuss us actions were disclosed. On the 29th of december he spoke to the Russian Ambassador on the phone in the first of a series of calls. On the 15th of january Vice President mike pence said sanctions we re president mike pence said sanctions were not discussed in those calls. Only after the ninth of february, when a newspaper revealed he did discuss sanctions, did pressure increase and Michael Flynn lost his job. As part of his guilty plea, prosecutors said mr flynn is now cooperating with the investigation. Us media claims he will testify that Senior Members of the trump team, including his son in law Senior Members of the trump team, including his son in lanared kushner, encouraged him to make contact with russian officials. The white house is now trying to distance himself with his actions, but having reached a plea bargain to co operate what else has mr flynn told the enquiry and what further revelations are to come . In around ten minutes we will get more on this story and speak to a political analyst. All Government Departments have been advised by the National Cyber Security Centre not to use russian Anti Virus Software on systems containing sensitive information. Kaspersky lab, which has 400 million customers world wide, was banned from Us Government networks earlier this year but the Company Denies links to the kremlin. Our reporterjon donnison has more. Cyber Security Software like that provided by this lab requires extensive provided by this lab requires exte ns ive a ccess provided by this lab requires extensive access to the files on a computer phone or network to look for viruses. Our mission has always been to protect. Kaspersky is used by consumers and businesses as well as parts of government to protect systems from criminals and hackers. Now a new warning about russian Anti Virus Software, amid fears it could be used for spying. At britains National Security centre they say theyve not seen actual proof of such espionage, but theyve told Government Departments not to use kaspersky for systems containing sensitive data. This is specifically about entities that may be of interest to the russian government and so for us thats about National Security systems in government of which there are very small number. Kaspersky has already denied allegations that it has been used for espionage in america. We dont do anything like that. They are just speculating about some rumours, opinions and there is zero hard data. 400 Million People use kaspersky products around the data. 400 Million People use kaspersky ggggfise; arour to he it. Lab of the now first secretary of state damian green were in flagrant breach of their own code of conducthats according to dominic grieve, the former atorney general. Our political correspondent, eleanor garnier, has this analysis. When these latest allegations emerged yesterday, damian green repeated that he hadnt downloaded are looked at pornography on his work computer. We saw allies of damian green rallying behind him and coming to his defence. Even a cabinet minister, although publicly, came forward to defend him. Sources close to the brexit secretary david davis said mr davies warned downing street not to sack damian green over this latest allegations. Allies also tried to shift the focus on to weather any of this information should have ended up in the Public Domain anyway. We heard from the former attorney general dominic ring, another tory mp, saying this had the smack of the police stake about it. In terms of the eager picture for theresa may, she is already lost two cabinet ministers in the last two weeks over unrelated and separate matters, but she certainly wont want to lose another and such a close and important ally. And of course shes got an extremely busy month ahead with the brexit negotiations, so it goes without saying that theresa may and downing street will certainly not have welcomed this allegations as a distraction to what is an important month ahead. White house Officials Say the white house will recognisejerusalem as the state of israel. The status ofjerusalem is highly contentious, with both israelis and palestinians claiming all or part of the city as their capital. Critics have warned that the decision by donald trump could jeopardise peace negotiations. It is feared there could be hundreds ofjob it is feared there could be hundreds of job losses it is feared there could be hundreds ofjob losses are it is feared there could be hundreds of job losses are toys it is feared there could be hundreds ofjob losses are toys r us after it said it would close about a quarter of its uk stores. The move would see the closure of 25 shops as pa rt would see the closure of 25 shops as part of the deal to renegotiate debts with its landlords. It is thought Christmas Trading in gift vouchers will not be affected by the move. People are being asked to nominate events and people they feel should be nominated as part of a new National Memorial scheme. The Heritage Group Historic England has already received a wealth of nominations from battle sites to birthplaces, as David Sillito reports. The site of the presentation of magna carta.

Quite what the memorials will look like a city at the end decided. The meat the immediatejob city at the end decided. The meat the immediate job is city at the end decided. The meat the immediatejob is to city at the end decided. The meat the immediate job is to find the people who have the passion to honour the places where history was made. Pope francis is spending his final day in bangladesh, after using his highly anticipated asia trip to express support for the rohingya muslims. Yesterday, the pope met a group of refugees and referred to them using the word rohingya for the first time. Myanmar does not regard them as an ethnic group. Lets return to our top story this morning. Reports from the United States suggest the president s former National Security adviser, Michael Flynn, who yesterday pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia, is prepared to testify against Donald Trumps son in law, Jared Kushner. Its thought mr flynn will say that Senior Members of the trump team, including mr kushner, directed him to make contact with the russians. Lets speak to eric ham, a political analyst whos been following the story from washington dc. Good to speak to you again. Lets cut to the chase here. We know that Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty. The assumption is hes come to some kind of deal. The big question is what is the deal . Well, the deal is going to include i think all things related to the campaign and actually there was no one more connect it, more intertwined, more integral to the Trump Campaign than the former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. So what is key about this deal is it does not go into effect for at least three months, so bob miller is looking to extract everything Michael Flynn has not just the campaign itself but on the people involved in the campaign Robert Mueller. Typically when you strike a deal like that that Robert Mueller has just strike a deal like that that Robert Mueller hasjust done, strike a deal like that that Robert Mueller has just done, he strike a deal like that that Robert Mueller hasjust done, he is considering biggerfish. When you considering biggerfish. When you consider someone like Michael Flynn in the campaign and the administration, who hire . Are we talking perhaps current Senior Adviser and son in law Jared Kushner . And quite possibly donald trump. What do you make of the white house statement that was released immediately after the announcement that was made, about him admitting to this offence . The white house saying very categorically this is about one man and his actions and has no bearing on anyone else in the white house . What i say to that is i think its time for the Trump Administration to get a different playbook. For so long the conversation has been this is fake news, theres nothing here to see. But you dont actually. You dont get a guilty plea from the former National Security adviser if there is no their there. And clearly there is. So now not only is the administration running as fast as it can from Michael Flynn, but if you read the statement closely you can see that theyve actually considered Michael Flynn to be a member of the Obama Administration and thats so striking because not only did president obama fire Michael Flynn as director of National Intelligence at the pentagon, but he specifically warns donald trump about ringing Michael Flynn into his administration and as we can see he disregarded that information. Not only did president obama clearly warn him about Michael Flynn, but sally yates, the first high profile person fired from this administration and serving as active attorney general, she warned the administration that Michael Flynn could be compromised. Fast forward to today and now we have a guilty plea from one of the highest officials in this administration. Just help us with one thing. For those of us watching this from a distance, we often think that commentators have their own political agenda sometimes about where they sit and what they believe in. Right now its one of those moments where some people are telling us this is the big one. This is the moment when everything changes and potentially leads directly to the president. And others are saying, as the white house has said, this is one man who lied. Well, this is one man who served as the National Security adviser. You cant deny that. This is an individual who had access to all of the National Security apparatus and the date and not only that was the year of the president on all matters National Security. The ear. So he was a high profile official not only in a campaign by tinny administration. For so long this administration have spoken about how many of the people who have been targeted at people who didnt have influenced in the Trump Administration, on the campaign, that simply wasnt the case. Again, this is someone who as a former general is someone who i guess served at the pentagon in the highest echelon of the military or National Security National Security and military and he served asa security and military and he served as a Senior Member of this administration. Regardless of what your political party, you cant deny that and you cant deny the fact that and you cant deny the fact that today he is entering a guilty plea and will expect to be. To serve time for lying to the fbi. Thats something that has political persuasion and something that the Trump Administration simply cant run away from. And you so much for your time this morning. That story playing very much in the papers this morning. Front page of the ft, they have what charlie has been discussing there, flynn pleads guilty to lying over russian ties. Its all so on the front of the daily telegraph. You will see this picture on many of the front pages today, meghan markle, as she accompanied prince harry to nottingham yesterday on their first outing together since their engagement was announced earlier this week. Also, charlie, its that time of year when we start getting coughs and colds start coming through and i was always told hot honey and lemon, still do that, but medical advice is telling us to avoid giving children cough syrup. Theres lots of cases of unintentionally overdosing toddlers and causing toxic problems. Hot honey and lemon is the trick. Now you know the front page of the sun, they are fun with the name. We will be talking more about that event yesterday. Having fun. It was everyones first chance to see the new new royal couple out and about together. Many people were asked what she said to them, she really just said hello, im megan. A story we have been talking about this week, damian green, his computer in his office has been taken a look at. There are allegations theres porn on that computer, which he has denied accessing. Now theresa mays tea m denied accessing. Now theresa mays team appears split after a cabinet minister push for him to be sacked but equally david davis, the brexit secretary, said he would resign if mrgreen secretary, said he would resign if mr green was forced out over claims made by retired Police Officers about that pornography on his computer. We will have a full look through the papers later this morning. Heres Sarah Keith Lucas with the weather after a fairly chilly, wintry feeling weak, temperatures gradually on the rise through the course of the weekend. Still a chilly start to saturday with some frost and some icy patches. Through the day some rain showers down the east coast and some filtering into north west england, wales and the south west but many places staying dry with some sunshine with the best further south and east. More cloud across scotland, the breeze picking up without breaks of rain here and for most without breaks of rain here and for m ost pla ces without breaks of rain here and for most places temperatures five to eight degrees but on saturday night and into sunday that milder air moves its way in from the north west. By the time we get to the early hours of sunday, most places looking frost so significantly milder overnight than it has been. Still quite cloudy to start the day in the south with a bit of rain which should clear away through the south steadily through the day and it should brighten up. Rain in the north and east and the south and west but temperatures in double figures, something we havent seen for a while. Now its time for this weeks film review, with jane hill and mark kermode. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases as ever is mark kermode. So, mark, what do we have this week . We have the disaster artist which is the story making of the best worst movie ever. Happy end, the new film by michael hanneke. And wonder, a very touching drama starring Jacob Tremblay. The disaster artist. Even watching the trailer many times, you are sitting there like this. Have you seen the room . You need to explain this. It is the dramatised retelling of the making of the room which tommy wiser made in 2003. It has spawned a whole cult following and they come along to enjoy the industry. He basically wrote and directed and starred and financed it. It is based on a book by the co star in the room who is now played by James Francos brother dave. Essentially greg is a model and wannabe actor and you first meet him in a theatre and he is doing a film and tommy takes one word from a streetcar named desire, stella greg is completely entranced. You are so uninhibited. How do you do it . Hejust believes in himself. Together they go to los angeles and decide they will make it and become stars but hollywood rejects them and so tommy who appears to have no fixed age, no fixed accent, and untold wealth, no one knows what he comes from, he writes his own movie. Heres a clip. The room . Nobody write it yet, today you will be the first one. You did this. You play mark. Its a big role. Its a huge role. Are you sure . If you dont want to do it, fine. I will get johnny depp. I want the role. I will take it. Hollywood rejects us, we do it on our own. Do you have they managed to do this . It is no problem. You with the going to make this thing . No we are going to make it. Mark has just like 20 times. I have seen that film twice. Firstly tommy is such a strange character, he says he is from new orleans but his accent sounds he is from cyberspace. It is a film by tim burton called edward, the reason the film work is you didntjust think it was a terrible film maker but you thought he was a visionary and you believed in the film. In the case of this, tommy appears to actually believe in the film he is making. He really thinks he is making an incredible piece of art and the recently disaster artist works is the film making is terrible and the endless takes of the same lines and the awful script and bad directing, although things are there but it only works because you also believe that beyond it there is something of pathos, tragedy, something of the dream about tommy that makes him acceptable and we see him behaving appallingly onset of the film doesnt shy away from the fact that tom said he did behave really badly. Do you need to have seen the room to get the joke . Dont think so. For a start if you see the room it makes no sense anyway and when you see the individual scenes that are recreating, it makes sense because you understand that basically tommy at one point, greg sestero who plays descriptive adviser, as he even seen a movie . He genuinely has no idea what to do this. I thought it was dark when it needed to be dark. It had a strange dreaming charm about it that in the end it is a story of triumph over adversity by making something that is so catastrophically terrible that it ends up getting celebrated. And it made me live twice all the way through. Well, iam intrigued. At the end, is that an ironic title . It is a michael hammock of film. This is a Michael Haneke film about a bourgeois family who behind the facade, foul lurking secrets. Tobyjones is in it. As with all his work it is engrossing and unsettling but there is also a strange sense of deja vu. There is video phone footage that reminds me of an early film of his. There is surveillance footage. That is a strange kind of luck can refer back to a more. The weird thing about all those films is that when we first saw them they were original and surprising. This isnt. This is well made. Haneke knows that to get brilliant performances and make something feel creepy and strange, but without telling you what it is. It did feel like we were retreading old ground. I think he is a great film maker and this is the weird thing, to me this felt an incidental haneke film. It felt like, ok, there we go. We will move on. And it like that element. I remember when i saw and more, cant believe he just made that movie because it is so breathtaking and this isnt. What did you make of wonder . I have read such dividing things about this. I havent read other reviews. I liked it. It is adapted from a novel. The story is Jacob Tremblay is a young kid who is really interested in science and space and has spent most of his childhood being home schooled because he has had a series of facial operations that have resulted in a rare genetic conditions. As he goes into that great he is going to school but the first time. It is going to school which is difficult enough. Also made more difficult by the fact that he understands he is different to the people that he has to interact with and it is about that journey. Here is a clip. I have to stop here because past this point is a no doubt some, but is not cool. Technically most dads arent cool, neither are these helmets. Hey, two rules. First, only raise your hand once the matter how answers you know except for science, crush them. Check. Youre going to feel like youre all alone but youre not. Check. Costumes are for halloween, prepare for blast of. Blastoff. I love you. I love you too. Have fun. Bye. Owen wilson, Julia Roberts and Jacob Tremblay. Lots of laughs in that clip but it also tugs at the heartstrings. It is also more complicated than it looks like. The beginning. What happens been ordered to fractures and you see the story from lots of different characters point of view, his sister feels like he has been neglected because all the attention has gone to her brother. The sister brother no longer a friend and you benneteau back story. Even bullies in the film are given context with a bullying. From a start it is a much more complex narrative than people would give it credit for. Also the film made me laugh and cry. Those are difficult things to do. People take them for granted and think it is very easy to do. It is not easy. It works because the performances are good. The script is well honed. It felt to me like a film that was made with that and care. I people who were telling the story and they really cared about the way the story was told. The resentment that the tenant but it is earned. There is sentimentality. I cried a lot and laugh a lot. I went in slightly suspicious because i had seen the trailer and you didnt know it was going to go but i thought it was a terrific piece of work and Jacob Tremblay is a really talented young actor. I thought the director handled it with exactly the right degree of schmaltz and seriousness. I laughed and cried. It worked. Best at this week. Battle of the sexes came out last week and it is the dramatised story of the tennis match between Billie Jean King and bobby riggs, had a documentary about this, in 2013. Again going in to see the drama i thought the documentary was so great, can capture the spirit . They do. Im a stone is great, as billiejean king. Steve carell inhabits this clown male chauvinist buffoon role of bobby riggs, the texture of the film is great and it feels like it was made in the 19705. It has the lgbt story at the centre of it. Political relevance and personal. It is funny. It is a commie dick drama. And it is all true. Quick thoughts about dvds. This was a great indie film. He is trying to find his place in the world. It did brilliantly with the are a scream programme, and it found its audience. It had a low budget. It had an enormous amount of heart and it is called my feral heart and i defy anybody not to be won over by it. Thank you. It is a really interesting week. Just a reminder that you can find all film news and reviews from across the bbc online. There is the address. All our previous programmes are on the iplayer as well. That is at this week. Enjoy your cinema going. Hello, this is breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. Good morning. Heres a summary of todays main stories from bbc news. Donald trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynn is prepared to testify against the president s son in law, Jared Kushner, according to us media reports. Its thought mr flynn, who pleaded guilty to making false statements to the fbi, will say he was directed to hold discussions with kremlin officials by Senior Members of Trumps Campaign team, including mr kushner. The white house says mr flynn has implicated no one but himself. The uk National Cyber Security Centre has warned Government Departments not to use russian Anti Virus Software if their computers contain sensitive information. The Russian Company Kaspersky Lab was banned from Us Government networks earlier this year, because of concerns it had ties to intelligence agencies in moscow. The Company Denies having links to the kremlin. Despite its warning, the National Cyber Security Centre says the general public shouldnt be concerned about using the software. Our guidance is to choose an anti virus product that meets your needs and does well Industry Standard tests. We are not saying, and we specifically say in our guidance on the blog, that we are not telling people to rip out kaspersky willy nilly because that makes no sense. This is about entities that may be of interest to the russian government, so for us thats about National Security systems in government of which there are very small number and for example if you have a business negotiation that the russian government may be interested in. Two former Police Officers who leaked allegations that pornographic images had been found on the tory minister damian greens computer were in flagrant breach of their own code of conduct, according to the former attorney general dominic grieve. Mr green, now first secretary of state, repeated his insistence that he didnt view pornographic material on the computer. The former attorney general said he found the behaviour of the ex officers behaviour troubling. White house officials have indicated that President Trump is likely to announce next week that the United States will recognise jerusalem as the capital of israel. The status ofjerusalem is highly contentious, with both israelis and palestinians claiming all or part of the city as their capital. Critics have warned that the decision by donald trump could jeopardise peace negotiations. Its feared there could be hundreds ofjob losses at toys r us, after the retailer announced it would close around a quarter of its uk stores. The move, which would see the closure of 25 shops, is part of a deal by the owners to renegotiate debts with its landlords. Its thought Christmas Trading and gift vouchers will not be affected by the move. The British Red Cross is calling for rules to be relaxed to automatically allow syrian refugee families, being resettled in the uk, to bring their young, Adult Children with them. Over the past two years, around 9,000 syrians have entered the uk under the Vulnerable Person resettlement scheme. But the red cross says refugees shouldnt have to leave behind family members because they are over 18 years old. Lets be clear. We are talking about children who are part of the family unit. People watching this now, think of your family, the children who still live at home, who may be away studying. Thats what we are talking about. Lets bring those families back together. Families belong together. Pope francis is spending his final day in bangladesh, after using his highly anticipated asia trip to express support for the rohingya muslims. Yesterday, the pope met a group of refugees and referred to them using the word rohingya for the first time. He was criticised for not using the term on his earlier visit to myanmar, which does not regard them as an ethnic group. A new scheme, which aims to recognise more places and people with historic importance, is set to be launched by Historic England. The heritage body wants people to suggest sites that deserve to be permanently acknowledged, but arent already marked with a plaque. The campaign will be piloted over three years. One other story this morning. A huge waterspout has formed off italy. Oh, this is a water spout it is huge, isnt it . It was spotted off the coast of sanremo, before moving inland as a kind of tornado. The weather phenomenon caused significant damage to the city, but luckily no one was hurt. It is quite hard to get an idea of the scale. When i thought of a waterspout, i hadnt heard that was the term. You were thinking of a teapot . Yes. So on first glance it looked like the water was coming out of the sea. Look at the sky, incredible. Its like something from another world. And this is obviously what its like to be in it, or close to it. Scary it is a big day for sport down under . Amazing. We will talk about the ashes in a moment, which is back on after the rain in adelaide. First, the rugby world cup. The first time england are in the final since 1995. Someone asked me how much england are the underdogs and its like a chihuahua compared to a great dane. 7 1 to the bookies. But australia can go fast and can bite ankles. I know someone who does know how to beat australia, the last man to do it. He is ryan macro tree and he joins us now. Brian noble. Good morning good morning. How are you doing . Not quite a chihuahua but a jack russell if the big dog drives do it it itll get caught in its throat sometimes being an underdog can be an advantage if you use it right. You beat australia as the code of great written. How do england do that today . Coach of great britain. This is a good england side. Theyve lost their captain Sean Mclauchlan yesterday, which is a blow, but they are tight group and theyve gotten better and better as theyve gotten better and better as the tournament has gone on. I think they are better this tournament than people are giving them credit for. They have to look after the ball. They have to look after the ball. They may get for opportunities to score tries and in my mind they have to execute at least three of those are caused this Australian Team, with people like slater, smith and cronk, have been togetherfor 15 yea rs cronk, have been togetherfor 15 years in the queensland and australian side and they havent been beaten since 2013. But i have an element of confidence with this english team and i think they can get thejob done english team and i think they can get the job done this afternoon. How much have they grown since that opening game defeat to australia in the tournament . My goodness, theyve been sketchy and clunky, are the words i used. They hadnt stitched the whole performance together. But for 70 minutes last week in the semi final against tonga they were fantastic. The last seven minutes we re fantastic. The last seven minutes were heart stopping. We dont want any of that. If they can play with that style, this Australian Team hasnt been under pressure at all throughout this world cup and ijust think we need to ask a few questions of some of their bigger players in relation to whether they can stand up relation to whether they can stand up to the task. But to do that theyve got to really control the ball well and give themselves the best opportunity that they can. Its charlie here. When you are clear favourite, as australia are, and the home fans will be bad for this game and expecting a great deal, sometimes the opposing team can use that sort of psychology, especially at the beginning of the game. Will that be crucial, if england can get a look in early on . I think youve nailed it. Ithink a look in early on . I think youve nailed it. I think the start is very important for this england team. I dont think they will come from behind to beat australia, theyve got to get their noses in front and the belief they can get on with the game. There is a pocket of about 5000 or 6000 english fans here, he will be very noisy. But im with you. The start is massively important and if they get a good start i think we will see more nervous australians and they might make a few more errors than they are used to. Whats the mood like amongst the english fans and how much baiting have you had to put up the last week after the thrashing in the last week after the thrashing in the cricket and all of that pom dating since that . Baiting. The cricket and all of that pom dating since that . Baiting. Im sure im not the first englishman on australian soil to copper flogging over the years. Its a great rivalry and a great sporting rivalry between england and australia and its good and good humourand banter. Sometimes it boils over in cricket matches and test matches. But that is all about the psychology of sport. The friendship amongst the fa ns sport. The friendship amongst the fans here is superb and while australia is a long way away there are many connections between english and australian fans that they can still share a beer after the game. Wonderful. Totally agree and thanks for keeping fee dog theme going. Jack russell. It could be a Border Collie by the time kick off comes around the buildup is from 8 30am, as well as radio 5 live. Its about building the confidence. The no longer a chihuahua, a bulldog. Weve had two rain interruptions on day one of the second ashes test, but play is under way again in adelaide. And england have made the breakthrough, after some confusion between the australian openers. They tried to take advantage of a miss field from england, but it backfired. Cameron bankcroft run out by chris woakes. Australia now 36 1. That was extraordinary pub landlords have been toasting englands world cup draw, because all of their games in russia will be played at 7pm in the evening or sunday afternoon, so people dont have to take time off work. Diego maradona was the man who pulled englands name out of the pot in the kremlin. Gareth southgates side are in a group with belgium, who are difficult opponents, tunisia and panama, but he says a good draw on paper doesnt mean a jot, given englands recent world cup record. Weve been good at writing teams off and then getting beaten, so we have to make sure that we are prepared for all of those games. Its fa ntastically for all of those games. Its fantastically exciting to be here for the draw with every other coat. Its been a great experience and really looking forward to getting on with it. The big game in the premier league today is the evening kick off between arsenal and manchester united. Celtic play motherwell in scotland and the fa cup continues. Last night, non league afc fylde earned a replay with Wigan Athletic of league one. Danny rowes penalty giving them a 1 1 draw. So both sides will be in mondays third round draw. Newcastle snatched a very late victory at northampton, in rugby unions premiership. After a scrappy try from the final play of the game, tarney takula kicked the crucial conversion to give them victory by 24 22. And glasgow warriors great run continues. They made it ten wins from ten in the pro 14, with a bonus point victory over cardiff blues. 40 16 the score. Tiger woods said hes proved his latest back operation has been a success, after he shot another under par round at the hero world challenge in the bahamas. Its his first tournament for almost a year, but hes now seven under at the half way stage, tied for fifth place. Charley hoffman is the leader. Englands Tommy Fleetwood who was leading is three shots back. Still in contention. Its been a great year for still in contention. Its been a great yearfor tommy still in contention. Its been a great year for Tommy Fleetwood. He is not quite my mate. Ive played with him once. But i like him i think he is a lovely guy. You got a special mention for maradonas yellow bowtie.

Some sunny spells on offer and also a few some sunny spells on offer and also afew rain some sunny spells on offer and also a few rain showers, not everyone seeing them and we will have lost the snow showers earlier in the week. As we start saturday morning you can see where the showers will be falling for parts of west scotland, wales and south west england, one or two lingering around the east coast but many other places dry and sunny and cloud increasing with windy and wet conditions for the north of scotland. A few showers dotted around across wales, down to cornwall, further east across england and more sunshine for the likes of kent, norfolk, temperatures only five or six. The odd shower for the West Midlands but much of Northern England having a sunny and decent afternoon, milder than it has been here. Northern ireland, central and northern scotland turning quite breezy and cloudy with the arrival of rain later, southern scotland should stay dry and bright for a good part of the date. Through saturday evening, windy in the north, a band of cloud with patchy outbreaks sinking south. That will introduce some milder air gradually. By introduce some milder air gradually. By the time we get to the early hours of sunday, frost free largely, the mildest night in some time weve seen. Through the day on sunday we start with quite a lot of cloud in the south courtesy of this weather front, which will be edging further south through the day, then brighter conditions as High Pressure tries to topple in from the atlantic and as it does so it will dry in that milderairso it does so it will dry in that milder air so cold it does so it will dry in that milderairso cold air it does so it will dry in that milder air so cold air squeezed away to the near continent.

Now its time for click with Spencer Kelly and this week theyre investigation how technology is being developed to support people with disabilities. Over the past few years, some of the most fascinating technologies weve featured on the show have been the ones that help people with disabilities. As the worlds first bionic games proved, the possibilities now emerging offer so much potential, whether it be in mobility, sight or hearing, weve seen how Life Changing Technology is tantalisingly close. But how long before it really starts to impact peoples lives for real . This weekend sees the International Day of people with disabilities and thats a great chance for us to devote a whole programme to the latest tech developments in the area. Now, in the uk, around 5 of all railjourneys are made by those with a disability or a long term illness. A quarter have reported problems with using public transport. The rail Company London midland is hoping to improve accessibility for its disabled passengers with a new app, passenger assist, and we asked emily yates to try it out for us. Im emily yates and im just planning my train journey to birmingham. It requires a fair bit of advanced booking. Im confident travelling by myself, but im not a huge fan of the train, which is actually why im making this journey. Ive heard about an app in development called passenger assist that could be a game changer for disabled travellers. Thank you i think anybody watching this whos disabled will probably agree with me that you can have some pretty horrific travel journeys if youre disabled. Ive been left on the train before, ive booked assistance and somebody has said, yeah, were going to come and meet you, and ive been left on the train unable to get off and ive had to go four orfive stops down the line to be able to come back again so im really excited to see what this app has to offer. Thank you ive got this new app which is currently in development and im just about to fill in my own profile. Whats brilliant about this app is it asks things like, do you need room for a guide dog, do you have a hearing impairment, do you need a ramp, do you need help buying a ticket . So, roxanne, ive added my profile details and now ive just planned a journey. This is obviously in development but this is how it would work. Ive put in myjourney and now it should come up on your phone any minute. Here you are. Youve got my picture and everything so you know exactly what ill look like. I know what you look like, know what to expect, i press im here to help. Brilliant. I can send you a message saying im here, my name is roxanne. 0k. Back on the train for me and now i have this. Passenger assist is being developed by start up tranreport under the guidance of london midlands lab. Weve brought a staff phone on the train too so we can see how the app works for them. So right now the phone is tracking both the staff member and the passenger. Were obviously in the same place so you can see the two dots are quite close together. Theyre using the technology such as bluetooth beacons, wi fi, 4g, gps, we can use multiple tools. You know exactly what carriage im in even. Yes, down to the carriage, we can pinpoint less than one metre to your location and find out which carriage, which train and the direction of travel youre going in as well. And its notjust about the app. Transreport is also making trackable wristbands and these key fobs, theyll be available for those unable to use phones as easily. Lets face it, in a world where we can now track our pizza delivery by the minute, having to book train assistance 24 hours in advance seems a little old school, and this way staff will have information at their fingertips too. Transreport hope to roll out the app across the London Midland Service early next year and the plan is for the entire uk rail network to be able to access it byjune, 2018. If theres one thing disabled travellers need that the Current System doesnt provide its the reassurance that someone will be there to help and not leave them stranded when getting on or off the train. Accessnow really began with my own reality. Someone using a wheelchair to get around, im consistently frustrated when i show up at places and i dont know if theyre accessible or not until i get there. Countless times i show up and there are steps or other barriers that prevent me from doing the things that i want. And so i was really motivated to try and solve this problem and the way that weve gone about doing that is by creating a mobile app that can simply allow people, whove experienced accessibility needs, to share information about what is accessible on their own communities and around the world. It starts by selecting a place, then rating that place as accessible or partially accessible. Patio access only or not accessible. You can go one step further and add a description. So you can say things like, i showed up at this place, the Customer Service was fantastic. So this cafe looks like its not accessible. Theres two steps here at the entrance. But when i look at my app, i can see theres an alternative entrance through the building here, that will let me into the cafe. So lets check it out. I think for me the main magic, the most exciting part about accessnow, is that the information is all crowd sourced from people who have experienced accessibility needs in their own life, or arejust motivated to get involved and share information. We started in toronto, with a couple hundred pins, and now weve reached over 20,000 pins throughout the world. But we really want to make this a global movement. There are many times where people who have mobility needs, theyre isolated in many ways and its simply because, you know, from the way i see it, its not people who are disabled but its our environments that are disabling. So if we can remove the barriers that restrict people from engaging with their communities, with their workplaces, with their lifestyles, i think we can come to a much more inclusive world for everyone. Ive come to dorset orthopaedic, a private company that fits amputees with prosthetic legs, from running blades to hyperrealistic looking limbs. One sport thats always been very hard for me is snowboarding, because my normal feet are designed specifically for walking. But here, theyve got some feet that could make that easier. The requirements of a foot are quite different with skiing compared to walking. With normal walking, you need a foot that has a fairly small range of movement that gives you energy back, so as you roll over the foot you get some push off at the end to help your walking. With skiing you need more movement in the foot to compensate for the uneven surface and you also need some Shock Absorption, so when you go over a bump or you land on the ski you need some of that shock taken out and thats what this does. While im left to my own devices, kevin agrees to fit my legs with some of these feet so i can give them a go. This requires a lot of honing and alignment to make sure im not pushed too far forwards or backwards. Ta da my legs so im quite intrigued as to how these are going to feel. I actually have no idea. Oh, wow. If you push your weight forwards, you should be able to feel the movement in the ankle. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, there that sensation ive not felt in the ten years since being an amputee. These feet work by putting air into an adjustable cylinder, which controls the amount of resistance in the foot. More air and more resistance. As well as giving this movement, Shock Absorption in the foot means that going over rocks or bumps is easier. But theyre not cheap. With the price of £2,500 each, it means only some people can get access to them. Its clear that theyre not for walking. Theyre very, very rigid, very square and very hard. But if i let my mind go and imagine myself snowboarding, which ive done badly in the past, i can feel that and they move and thats weird, because i have not felt my feet move in that way for ten years. Theres only one thing left to do and its try the feet out on some proper snow. Ive come to an indoor slope, but ive got to admit im feeling very nervous. This is emma gillespie, a prosthetist whos agreed to come with me to fit the feet and help me try them out. So youve boarded on these before. Yeah. And how was that . Hard. But you did it. Yeah. So, one leg. This is what you dont see about being an amputee. When ive snowboarded previously on my normal walking feet, its been really difficult. But these offer much more and the way theyre set up offers a natural bend in my knees, a stance thats almost impossible on my usual legs. Ok, here we go. 0h, shes going try and think about your posture a bit. And a turn woohoo ok, so its been a while since i boarded and expecting an instant result is probably asking a too much, but the best thing for it is to keep throwing myself down this slope and see what happens. Despite the technology of these feet, theres only so much they can do when it comes to hitting the slopes. The real work is definitely still coming from the person. And if youre not very good, theyre not going to stop you from falling. Laughs im soaking wet. That last fall has drenched me. But its amazing when you merge technology and disability. Its about giving people independence and the feeling that they can try things that they perhaps thought werent there for them. So its fun, but now i want these feet and theyre expensive. Thats it for the shortcut of this special version of click this International Day of people with disabilities.
