switzerland are leading 7—6 in the tenth end. not long left in this match which seems to be turning into a battle of the skips. eve muirhead keeping her cool — if you want to keep across the coverage, it's over on the bbc red button and bbc sport website. earlier the men's curling team had a tight encounter against denmark. it went to the wire but team gb managed their fourth win of the games with a 7—6 victory over the danes, which leaves them in a very strong position to clinch a place in the last four. less than two years after being told she may never skate again, ice dancer penny coomes and her partner nick buckland have qualified for the short dance final. earlier this morning, the couple finished in tenth place ahead of tomorrow's free dance — where medals are decided after two routines. christopher dean, who won olympic gold alongside jayne torvill in 1984, helped choreograph today's routine. it's a different feeling going to competition. i feel pressure but also excited to get out there again and am thankful and ha

he was just ahead of his countrymen, with switzerland taking the bronze. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @bbc mike embley. thank you for watching. thanks forjoining me. time we updated you on the weather prospects for the whole of the british isles for the next few days or so. wednesday started in a pretty wild and woolly way across the north—western quarter of scotland. as ever, our weather watchers were there to capture the evidence for us, but things improved dramatically. come a little further south, not far really, troon beach and ayrshire. the difference, you had to get rid of this big old weather front which really made a difference. started dry enough across the eastern side of the british isles but, as that moved in from the west, it brought quite a bit of cloud and rain. thankfully, that's moved away. thursday starts on a brighter note for many, a drier note, no, not necessarily, because certainly across western spots, particularly the north—western quarter of the british isles, there will be showers. els

well for more on the match earlier today between the joint north joint korean team and switzerland i'm joined now by nick mckenna klein from sports so nick this korean women's hockey team is the first in the olympic history to combine players from the north and the south so how did they do they did ok it's a concern they didn't have much time to practice they did actually get a bit of a clobbering loss against switzerland but it was to be expected it's was done by right six in the world whereas south korea before these teams you know it's a right seventeen it's a not necessarily a top team when it comes to women's hockey so they did relatively well considering the circumstances and as i said i believe only had a couple of weeks time to actually practice and get used to each other because they were you know they were planning on having a united korean team this is something which has come relatively abruptly before the before the tournament actually started the atmosphere the stadium however told a different story it's holes so this that you know the fans watching were happy to see you

welcome back to the program i'm going to start with a bit of breaking news now from switzerland and some good news for russian athletics the court of arbitration for sport has up twenty eight appeals of russian athletes that were banned for life from the olympics that charges those charges were based on allegations of widespread open scandal dating back to twenty fourteen the sanctions against the twenty eight will also be annulled meaning any medals won at the sochi winter games will stand another eleven cases have been partially lifted meaning they will only be banned from the upcoming olympic winter games instead of all the limpid games and we will keep you updated with any further information on that breaking news story from switzerland. the u.s. president looks set to release a classified memo which could potentially reveal f.b.i. wrongdoing and it's resulted in a public clash between the white house and the bureau the f.b.i. has complained that it wasn't given sufficient time to review the content while claiming facts had been removed from the memo the us intelligence committee vot

the men take on switzerland and canada later and the women are up and canada later and the women are up against the olympic athletes from russia. last night there was more heartbreak for team gb‘s elise christie as she again missed out on a medal after crashing in a 500 metres short track speed skating final. she was disqualified in each of her three events in sochi, four yea rs of her three events in sochi, four years ago and had to settle for fourth last night in pyeongchang after which she claimed she was knocked over. fonta na after which she claimed she was knocked over. fontana of italy won the gold and yara van kerkhof took the silver. i was knocked over, you know. i didn't fall on my own. but it doesn't give you any benefit in the final, when someone gets a penalty. yeah, it isjust tough. i've worked so hard for the 500, and it hasjust been, you know, taken away from me, and even in the semifinal, i got crashed, ended up in lane four. i know it is short track and i am supposed to be prepared for this, but it still hurts, you know. disappointment for elise christie, hoping f

not skiing in switzerland. this is not skiing in switzerland. >> the stockholm syndrome is probably the term most familiar with the public in terms of brainwashing cases. >> there is this idea of stockholm syndrome, which came from a bank robbery in stockholm, sweden. over time, the people who were held hostage begin to identify with their captor. >> stockholm syndrome takes you about 1/8 of the way. the stockholm syndrome is here, you got me. i'm a captive. i've got to make the best of this. but that's fundamentally different than saying, you know what, i really dig what you're doing. by the way, it would have been a real achievement. it would be the first time ever to succeed and the sla had no training in this. never pretended to have any training in this. >> some have said that the sla had no expertise in brainwashing and particularly donald defreeze, the leader. that is nonsense. he had studied the north korean methodology. he knew enough to abuse her to the point where she would do most anything she was t

they lost their play—off to switzerland 9—5. it was looking good with just 2 ends to play, but a five—point stone from the swiss in the penultimate end saw them advance. so disappointment after taking a silver medal in the event at sochi four years ago. we came in ourfirst 0lympics we came in ourfirst olympics and gaveit we came in ourfirst olympics and gave it our best short. we made the play—offs but in the end we had a good game but itjust was not to be sadly. a couple of half shots and thatis sadly. a couple of half shots and that is all it takes in a team as good as them. there is plenty to look forward to going forward, just need to take some time and reflect on the experience and what we can do in the future. there was a tense finish to the women's ice hockey final. the united states won a dramatic penalty shoot—out in the women's final to take gold and stop canada from winning theirfifth straight title... usa keeper maddie rooney was the hero, sparking wild american celebrations. huge disappointment for canada. wu

entering the final end, switzerland held a 5—4 lead over china. but after the final stone, it wasn't clear whether china had added one point to tie the match or two to claim the victory. china had clearly picked up one point from the red stone in the middle. the question was whose stone was second closest to the centre, could china nick two points. they moved the centre stone out of the way but nudged a swiss stone in error, so they couldn't measure the rest with any certainty it went to an extra end to decide the winner, with switzerland scoring two points for a 7—5 win. and you can follow the opening ceremony in pyeongchang across the bbc — live coverage begins on bbc one, the red button and online, from 10.30 tomorrow morning. one line of winter paralympic news to bring you skier kelly gallagher and her guide gary smith have secured a place in pyeongchang. gallagher became the first british athlete to win a gold medal on snow when she won the super—g in sochi four years ago. she was initially left out of the squad but she nowjoins mille k

switzerland is the base for great multinationals. we are not excited about switzerland per se, but more the companies located there. japan is a market with tremendous innovation, particularly around consumer products. factory automation. the u.k. has really high-quality multinationals, significantly operating in the u.s. for us and we are bottom-up stock pickers. it is not so much where the companies are located. it is how many exciting opportunities in any one jurisdiction. we are finding interesting opportunities in france as well. vonnie: some of these places, though, have a currency challenges they may not have had even a couple of months ago. the weaker dollar from how is that impacting the likes of the u.k., the likes of japan? benjamin: i think all else being because if i'm, just producing against a standard product against the u.s. competition, clearly lost competitive advantage. is i really have a differentiated product, we have seen currency movements. they have not been extreme. , if myicing power product or service is hig

just before dawn as a glider airfield near zero rick in switzerland. the final checks are being made for the maiden flight of a new measuring device. but drone designed to investigate a layer of the atmosphere previously neglected by research known as the boundary layer. weather forecasts are based on two types of data. the current temperature humidity and wind at ground level on the one hand. bandaids are gathered by satellites from the upper atmosphere. so meteorologists are well informed about conditions at high altitude and on the surface but until now data from the lowest one thousand five hundred meters of the atmosphere hasn't been measured even though conditions in this boundary layer are decisive for the development of weather phenomena like thunderstorms or fog until the research is of paid little attention to the zone. the new weather drones data is aimed at changing that and offering fresh insights. here you can see last night's temperature variation towards morning things have naturally cooled down down here it can be fairly netty at aroun
