possible for things to be going around them. the question is why it has a story keep going and would think that this story keeps going we need to find out a bit more about how deeply we can trust these reassurances that nothing happened. absolutely. borisjohnson is only had been to one of the parties has been uncovered so far and that was for number ten aid on the 27th of november. in terms of the prime minister being involved personally there is only one suppose a gathering that he was out so far. the rest is very much about the kind of operation he was running, the staff he had come a senior staff taking part in these parties with a we know of course there was one conservative central head headquarters as well. it's not so much about whether the prime minister participated personally but the kind of government is running, the kind of government is running, the kind of people is that working for him and whether the senior people working for him really have taken the rap for things that they have done. there are obviously lots of people who feel slightly aggrieved at the prime ministers response and they actually allegra stratton who is the only person who has resigned so far and according to the leaked video footage is also one of the only people we know who did not attend the party on the 18th of december. really, they are wondering if they are good to be thrown under the bus as well. that's quite helpful for a journalist because it means that people are still coming out and talking to us. the sundays will perk through quite difficult. dominic cummings who has an axe to grind with the prime minister said he thought there was photographic evidence from some of these parties and that would corroborate allegations that they broke covid rules despite the government and the prime ministers insistence that absolutely no covid rules were broken at any point in the last 18, 19 months. particularly across the three locked out. so i imagine it will be quite difficult for the prime minister. it's notjust the public he has to keep on site, sometimes the public and conservative mps feel differently. and on this issue they are very frustrated, some people saying he really needed to get his house in order before when it came to the parties. a couple of them has said he's become incompetent personified and things like that. the level of anger is rising. one of the worst thing that can happen to the conservative party is division and against each other. that's the deep, dark hole that we are in at the moment. and they don't seem to be signs that borisjohnson is taking his way out of it successfully yet. that's a good summary. that's what turns out. it's quite hard to take a something with all people cuddling up something with all people cuddling up together. let's under the nice picture story. this is the cambridge is christmas card. i've seen it described in the telegraph as kings from the east. well, two of them should be king on

attempting to avoid relegation, who took the lead through emmanuel denis in the first half. but two quick very late goals, the first came from pontus jannson who was able to head home and then deep into injury time brentford had a penalty when william ekong was ajudged to have tripped saman ghoddos. bryan mbeumo stepped up and made it 2—1. brentford climb to ninth. watford remain just outside the relegation zone. brentford were missing ivan toney and ethan pinnock for tonight's match — both tested positive for covid, and the virus is once again having an impact. the premier league reintroduced anti—coronavirus measures after a large outbreak in the tottenham squad caused sunday's game against brighton to be called off and today norwich's manager dean smith says the club are anxiously awaiting results of tests ahead of their game against manchester united tomorrow. there's a couple of players who we were worried about, so have tested and will wait for the pcr results. just feeling a little bit unwell. not likely to relate to the game last week with tottenham. just a general, with the whole nation at the moment holding our breath. steven gerrard is obviously a liverpool legend playing more than 710 games, scoring 186 goals in a 17—year career at anfield. but when he takes his new aston villa side there in the premier league tomorrow he realises he may not be very popular if villa win. they're 10th in the table compared with liverpool's second place and flying form. i really respect and understand the noise around the game for obvious reasons. i spent many years there. it brings a smile on me face because i've got her good relationship with a lot of people at the club. i'm a local boy. i always will support that team. but at the same time, it brings a smile to me face because of the opportunities to go there and compete against group c. that's my only main focus. now to rugby union and it was a nightmare start to the new european champions cup for northampton saints. they were thrashed by 45 points to 1a by racing 92 at franklins gardens. the french side scored five tries in the game. the pick of them created by scotland stand—off finn russell a brilliant, trademark run from him, before that lovely off—load to wenceslas lauret for the score. it's the climax to the formula one season this weekend. and who win the title is anyone's guess. max verstappen and lewis hamilton are level on points, verstappen only top by virtue of winning nine races to the reigning champions eight. it's the briton who topped the time sheets in friday's second practice. he was more than half a second quicker than his title rival, which is a huge margin in formula one. although the dutchman was fastest in the morning session. our reporterjennie gow is in abu dhabi. when it comes to the way this track has been re— profile from last year to this, they've got rid of a lot of the bits that red bull would've excelled at. actually they've met it a lot of fast, flowing corridors which typically has on the way of mercedes. so you have to say that lewis hamilton came into this weekend as favourite but as we seen already, the rubik this year has been thrown out. they are so good, these two drivers, i don't think you can split them. and that's the great thing about this, it's also the difficult thing because it makes its challenging for us commentating. they have said that if you interfere with the championship one being the way it should be one you can get penalised for that whether it you are one of the title can tenders or are one of the title can tenders or a team—mate. that was issued to all the teams, issued to us as media and the teams, issued to us as media and the fans added this weekend. they are rules that are always there, they just are rules that are always there, theyjust had highlighted them. but i think today they were speaking in the press conferences and both team bosses were saying we want this done cleanly, down the right way. and i think there is a genuine intention from the teams that it is done on track and not in the stewart's office afterward or in the international court of appeals sometime later. everybody wants this to be a spectacular race and finale. michael schumacher manage seven world titles, this would be one more. and he's had to fight this harder than he is maybe ever bought before. mack's first stop in a truly inspired driver has pushed him ever thatis inspired driver has pushed him ever that is been pushed before. andy murray has split with long—time coach jamie delgado. murray brought him into his team during the 2016 season when he won a second wimbledon title and finished the year as the world number one. former british davis cup player delgado took over as full—time coach in late 2017. murray has decided to give a trial to germanjan de witt, who has previously coached gael monfils, gilles simon and nikoloz basilashvili. ronnie o'sullivan is through to the semifinals of snookers scottish open. as in his previous match, the rocket wasn't at his best, but he just had too much for china's li hang. a fantastic double here in frame seven was the highlight of his 5—4 win. full details of all the quarterfinals matches on the bbc sport website. that's just about it. don't forget coverage of day four of the first ashes test continues through the night with commentary on test match special, plus full coverage on the bbc website, including in —play clips. that's bbc dot c0 dot uk slash sport, but that's all the sport for now. hello. a big change in the feel of the weather through this weekend with some milder air spreading from the west, but with that, a fair amount of cloud, some extend merck and hell fog and some outbreaks of rain at times. now, on the earlier satellite picture, a slice of clear sky and where that clear sky remains, quite a cold start to saturday morning, the coldest weather of the whole weekend in fact. out west, more cloud, and with that, some milder weather which is slowly but surely going to crawl its way eastwards through the day. so, temperature is in eastern parts starting the day below freezing, western areas well above. belfast at six, plymouth at8 , and as we go through the day, well, the male thereby it's cloudier and wetter conditions will work eastwards, so early sunshine in eastern scotland, eastern england, that won't last long. things will tend to cloud over. briefly, a bit of sleet and snow over high ground in scotland, but as you can see, it will turn back to rain. as this wet weather continues to track eastwards, it will introduce ever milder conditions. celsius for belfast. for cardiff, for payment, just six in aberdeen, seven in rh, but actually, as we go through saturday night, we will bring that milder weather further eastwards, so where we normally expect temperatures to drop through the night, they won't across some eastern parts of england for example, ending the night ten degrees celsius in norwich, hall, five in aberdeen, very mild out towards the west. all the while, some cloud, some outbreaks of rain, some clear styles across the northern half of the country. and through sunday, again, there's going to be quite a lot of cloud, that cloud producing some outbreaks of rain at times, especially through northwest england, northern ireland up into southwest scotland. some brighter guns is here and there, and a very mild afternoon, 8— 1a sunak celsius. now, i have to keep a close eye on developments through sunday night, because this small but potent weather feature is expected to pass the far northwest, deepening area of low pressure, and that is set to bring some very strong winds across parts of northern ireland, but perhaps most especially in the exposed parts of western and northern scotland, particularly for the western and northern isles. there could be some really quite stormy weather for a time. we will keep you posted on that one throughout the weekend. into next week, it stays relatively mild. a bit of rain around for a time, perhaps settling down later in the week. there's something almost orgasmic about the... there is! well, fighting, i'm fighting for my life, and i'm fighting to to see trinity. well, i don't want to give too much away. no, but it is orgasmic. but your love for trinity, it is a love story at its heart, this movie. yeah, i agree, i agree. and matrix resurrections, you know, that's one of the primary stories. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the us supreme court leaves a controversial texas law banning most abortions in place — president biden says he's "very concerned" the us announces sanctions on a chinese tech company, amid concerns
