audience you're going to get, a relatively small audience. some of the show‘s most shocking cases include the murder of the toddlerjames bulger in 1993. the child's killers were seen on this cctv footage. and the murder of schoolgirl sarah payne was also solved in 2001, after police received hundreds of calls following a crimewatch appeal. it's been an invaluable tool, for both the police and the public. for the public to give information to the police, and for the police to act on that information. crimewatch isn't going completely, though. it will continue on the daytime sister edition, crimewatch roadshow. in a statement, the bbc said: it's incredibly proud of crimewatch and the great work it's done over the years as well as the crimewatch road show. and it went on: the move will create room for new innovative programmes in peak time

on bbc one. in a competitive market, the bbc may be calling time on crimewatch, but the memorable theme tune is likely to live on. meanwhile, don't have nightmares. adina campbell, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. we will start off with the mugshot of hurricane ophelia which went to a major headache, leaving a trail of damage in its wake. today it's out in the norwegian sea, the winds will continue to ease down as we go through the rest of this afternoon, still some rough seas out and about. we have seen some trees felled by the strong winds yesterday and indeed overnight as well. the gusts reaching around a0 mph, showers and the forecast for scotland and northern ireland, this area of rain sneaking in across part of dorset,
1:32 pm
hampshire and the isle of wight, is spatial pots of rain, clive ross southern areas, fresher feel to the weather, tempters13—17. the rain band coming more expansive, low cloud forming, mist and fog patches developing over the hills of southern england, farther north one oi’ southern england, farther north one or two showers continuing, the far north of scotland will get some clearer skies by the end of the night and year in the countryside temperatures could get close to freezing. looking at the forecast for tomorrow, cloudy start to the day, i breaks of rain, patches of rain could be fairly heavy in bursts from time to time, farther north often cloudy in northern ireland and the occasional bright spell, the best of the sunshine to the north and west of scotland but in the sunshine we have cooler air, tern pters sunshine we have cooler air, tempters ii or 12, i7 sunshine we have cooler air, tempters ii or 12, 17 in london. taking us through wednesday night, the rain heavier as it moves north

and east, cloud following, thursday the occasional bright spell but also bursts of rain coming and going, more general rain pushing across northern ireland and the south west, good start to see winds reacher in gale force around exposed coasts. as we head into thursday night low pressure pushing north, still rain and strong winds, ridge of high pressure moving behind that. we will see a spell of dry and brighter weather, temperatures ia—16. as we go through friday night looking at this next area of low pressure moving into the south west, this again will bring strong winds, potentially severe gales batter in the south west, a bit of uncertainty in the exact track, could see strong winds affecting other parts of the uk. that's all from the bbc news at one , so it's goodbye from me — let us take you to the house of
1:34 pm
commons where the brexit secretary has been making a statement. now sir keir starmer is replying. the truth is there has been an extremely productive activity in these negotiating rounds. michel barnier is going to the council on friday. he will present his case. the case he will present will be one which i hope argues for more progress both on transition, and on future relationships. it is him to make that case on the day.
1:35 pm
i cannot think of a moment where i have talked up no deal. what i have done, time and again, there is a reason for that. we are in the middle of a negotiation and we want that in good faith. what i will say is this. if we do not prepare for all outcomes, we leave ourselves exposed to an impossible negotiation. we saw that again, when he and his fellow shadow chancellor said, we will pay in perpetuity for access to the single market, whatever it takes, 100 billion, whatever it takes, 100 billion, whatever it takes, 100 billion, whatever it takes. but he carps but he has no options of his own. sir william cash.
1:36 pm
my right honourable friend has said in the discussions we seek ways to fully implement the treaty into uk law. does that suggest he has in mind legislative enactment of that withdrawal treaty? and when he says withdrawal treaty? and when he says with respect to the question of the role of the uk courts, that means it will be dealt with by hours and not the ec]? the first thing to say is there are a range of models in how we bring this into british law. i say british law, not european law. the key criterion i am applying is giving certainty to those european 27 citizens that their rights will be preserved. with respect to the adjudication, it will be by british courts. peter brown. before i call the
1:37 pm
honourable gentleman, can i remind the house members who arrived after the house members who arrived after the statement started should not be standing. if they have their timing wrong, that is too bad. members should keep an eye and get into the chamber in time. it is a discourtesy to turn up late, not having heard some of the statement, then expect to be called. please don't. members who arrived late should not be standing. the message is clear, it is discourteous to ignore it. a year ago the promised said we could not expect a running commentary but you wouldn't have to run very fast to keep up with the pace of these negotiations. he has
1:38 pm
commented, but could i suggest before you press accelerator you should check you are not heading to the cliff edge. we have seen humiliation for this government, they try to drive a wedge between the commission and 27 sovereign states from which the commission take their authority. can he give an assurance he will stop playing games, accepts the mandate the commission has and not attempt to undermine it and their own position? he claims the uk is in reasonable. is it to bring to the negotiations with red lines firmly drawn? that doesn't look too reasonable. will the secretary of state special as he had never talked up state special as he had never talked up no deal, he hasn't talked it down either. other influential voices are talking up a no deal all the time. the promised are still hasn't
1:39 pm
withdrawn her claim that no deal is better than a bad deal. so will he rule out no deal absolutely today as the worst of all possible deals? finally on the rights of eu nationals, i had a distressing meeting with representatives of a migrants for, first—hand experience of immensely talented and hard—working people of immensely talented and ha rd—working people who of immensely talented and hard—working people who want to make fife their home, now making plans to head back to poland, slovakia, not because they don't like scotland but because they don't like scotland but because they don't think the uk will make it possible to welcome them. will he guarantee in law the rights of these citizens? other than using them as negotiating capital? let me take those issues, three questions there, in sequence. firstly, separating the 27. nothing
1:40 pm
could be further from the truth. the worst thing for the uk would be for us worst thing for the uk would be for us to have to deal with fragmentary groups of the eu. we would never get an answer. but it is also the case we should talk to each of the 27th to see what their own interests are. the interests of poland, lithuania, may differ from holland the interests of poland, lithuania, may differfrom holland or belgium. and again from spain and italy. we talk to them on a continuous basis to make sure we know what they want. also, to pick up the last point, i think it was a polish member, we will go to those governments to its been precisely what we have. there have been times in the last few months where the eu institutions have not reflected what we intended to do. it was illegitimate mistake,
1:41 pm
but there was the comment we wouldn't give you citizens the right to vote in local elections, that was not true. as for no deal, the issue is straightforward, we are setting out a deal that will be the best outcome. but for laverty reasons we need to prepare for the other alternatives. one, because it is a negotiation with many people and it could go wrong. we have to be ready. secondly, you always need the right to walk away, otherwise you get a terrible deal. today, a report estimated that, should be moved to a tariff regime, the german motorcar industry alone could possibly lose between 8600 and 29,000 jobs. it is massively in the interests of the uk and our 27
1:42 pm
partners, that we establish reciprocal free trade based on recognition of conformity of standards. in his conclusion, the secretary said he recognises we have reached the limits of what we can achieve without consideration of our future relationship. when will our partners recognise it is in their interests we establish reciprocal free trade and start talking about ourend trading free trade and start talking about our end trading relationship? he makes a very good point. it is absolutely in our interests we have an outcome which encourages free trade in all directions across the eu and ourselves. the simple truth is we are in a negotiation. they are using tire pressure to get more money out of us. it is obvious. we will get there, iam us. it is obvious. we will get there, i am quite sure, for a decent outcome. mr hilary benn. as evidence mounts that leaving the eu with the deal would involve a high price, it is
1:43 pm
clear the prime minister's speech in florence has not broken the logjam in negotiations. could he tell the house what the government now proposes to do or to offer, so that the talks can move onto the second phase and in particular to the nature of the transitional arrangements for which british business is waiting, because they urgently need to they will happen and what their terms will be will stop firstly, i would say not to jump stop firstly, i would say not to jump to conclusions, we have yet to hear the council conclusions on friday. let us wait and see what they are before we make the next move. i won't make it from the dispatch box but from brussels. with respect to the transition period, the promised it is clear it will be as close as possible to where we currently are for a roundabout two years. i have no
1:44 pm
reason to differ from it. studio: that is the house of commons by now, following a statement from the brexit secretary david davis who was giving an update on the progress of the brexit talks. this is what he had to say. i will update the house on the third round of negotiations and in view of the fact the october european council is this week i will review the progress of the five they go chasing round since june. whilst these negotiations have been tough, both michel barnier and i have acknowledged the new dynamic created by the speech in florence. this momentum was maintained in november, both teams continue to work constructively. sincejune, we have developed our shared political objectives. nevertheless, there is still some way to go to secure any partnership but i am don't we are on the right path. i will take the
1:45 pm
house through the negotiating issues in turn. on citizens rights, we made further progress towards giving british citizens in the eu and the eu 27 citizens in the eu and the eu 27 citizens in the uk the corruption thatis citizens in the uk the corruption that is the best possible legal certainty. last week, we explored the ways in which we will make sure the ways in which we will make sure the rights we agree now will be enforced in a fair and equivalent way. we explored ways in which we can way. we explored ways in which we ca n fully way. we explored ways in which we can fully in ferment withdrawal into uk law. that will give confidence to eu citizens in the uk to enforce their rights as set out in the agreement in uk courts. both sides discussed ensuring consistent interpretation of our agreement. we have not arrived at a single model, we have explored options. we should not lose sight of the fact we made significant progress since june. not lose sight of the fact we made significant progress sincejune. we
1:46 pm
have reached agreement on criteria for residents rights, the right to work and own a business, social security rights, rights for current family members, reciprocal health ca re family members, reciprocal health care rights, the rights of frontier workers, and the process for securing settled status in the uk will be streamlined and low cost. there are still some issues outstanding for both sides including the right to continue to enjoy the recognition of professional qualifications, the right to vote in local elections, the right to onward movement as a uk doesn't already resident in the eu, the right to return, the right to bring in future family members, the right to export a range of benefits. many of these areas, it is a straightforward statement our proposals go further and provide more certainty than those of the commission. we are trying to find on both sides pragmatic solutions. in the fourth round, we offered the guaranteed by
1:47 pm
the returned to settled citizens in the returned to settled citizens in the uk in exchange for onward movement bites for british citizens in the eu. we look forward to hearing from the commission, we have had it yet. i recognise there is concern regarding the new system european citizens will have to use to gain settled status. i confirmed while there would be a registration process , while there would be a registration process, the administration would be com pletely process, the administration would be completely new, streamlined and low cost. furthermore, any eu citizen in the uk already in possession of a permanent residence card can exchange it for settled status. they will not need to go through the full application process again. the tests associated will be agreed and set out within the withdrawal agreement. asa out within the withdrawal agreement. as a result of go —— the commission can offer similar guarantees for
1:48 pm
those british citizens in the eu. these clarifications have built further confidence. this bard also saw further detailed discussions on northern ireland and ireland. in a significant step, we have developed joint patrols on common travel area and associated rights. these will preserve the rights of uk and irish nationals to live, work and study across these islands, protect their associated rights to public services and social security, to provide legal certainty these principles recognise the withdrawal agreement should formally at knowledge for the uk and ireland to continue to uphold these bilateral arrangements. our teams have mapped out areas of cooperation that function on a north— south basis and we have begun detailed work on this. we have also agreed critical guiding principles to protect the good friday agreement
1:49 pm
and are working on steps to make this a reality. throughout this process , we this a reality. throughout this process, we have reaffirmed our commitment to the rights of the people of northern ireland to choose to be british or irish as they choose. i have set out our determination to focus on creative solutions. we cannot fully resolve theseissues solutions. we cannot fully resolve these issues without also addressing our future relationship. these issues without also addressing ourfuture relationship. as the promised said in her statement last week, we owe it to the people of northern ireland and to everyone in the isle of ireland to get it right. on the financial settlement, the discussions continue. the prime minister reassured our european partners they will not need to pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan asa remainder of the current budget plan as a result of our decision to leave. she reiterated the uk will honour commitments made in the period of our membership. we agreed
1:50 pm
to undertake a rigorous examination of the technical detail to reach a shared view. this work has continued to stop it has not been a process of agreeing specific commitments, this can only come later. it is an important step so when the time comes we can reach a political agreement. finally, on separation issues, we continue to work through the detail particularly on nuclear safeguards, judicial cooperation, privileges and immunities. we believe the remaining issues in this sector are dependent on discussions on ourfuture sector are dependent on discussions on our future partnership. sector are dependent on discussions on ourfuture partnership. we are prepared to start those discussions. in conclusion, our aim prepared to start those discussions. in conclusion, ouraim remains prepared to start those discussions. in conclusion, our aim remains to provide as much certainty to businesses and citizens on both sides. i make no secret to fully provide that certainty we must be able to talk about the future. we
1:51 pm
all have to recognise we are reaching the limits of what we can achieve without consideration of the future relationship. the speech in far as set out the scale of our ambitions and she also laid out the case for a simple, clear and time—limited period of implementation will stop i hope the leaders of the 27th will recognise the progress and provide michel barnier with a mandate to build on the momentum. doing so will allow us to achieve a deal that works for the uk and the eu. there has been much discussion over what cost cheats sufficient progress. sufficient progress has always been a european union construct. the gauche asians require both parties to engage constructively and develop their positions in advance. for the uk, i have been clear we conduct these
1:52 pm
negotiations in a constructive and responsible way. the work of our teams and the progress made proves we are doing just that. —— the negotiations require both parties. at the first hurdle, the government has failed to hit an important target. that leaves eu citizens in the uk and uk citizens in europe in a continued state of uncertainty. it means insufficient progress in relation to northern ireland and it appears the deadlock on the financial settlement is such that both sides are barely talking. in his statement he says he is confident we are now on the right track. i can't fault him for his confidence in his own negotiating ambitions. the problem is, most of those ambitions have failed to
1:53 pm
materialise. one of them was that the sequencing of talks would be the row of the summer and he would not agree. the suggestion in his statement sequencing and the concept of sufficient progress are eu constructs leaves out the fact he agreed to them and signed up to them. mrspeaker, agreed to them and signed up to them. mr speaker, the promised and secretary of state were right to go to brussels last night. i would like to brussels last night. i would like to claim it was a response to a letter i wrote to him last thursday. even i recognise that would be over claiming on the letter. but because of the seriousness of the situation, both sides and i include the eu, need to do whatever they can to break the impacts by friday, more flexibility is needed on both sides by friday. i hear what the secretary
1:54 pm
of state says about the florence speech. it was an important speech. but he would be on stronger ground if what the prime minister had said in florence had not been immediately undermined by the self interested antics of some of his cabinet members. i also hear what he says about the statement of intent last night to accelerate the process, given the place of speech so far, thatis given the place of speech so far, that is not a high ambition, if a car is moving at two miles an hour and goes up to them for macro, that is acceleration. it is still going slowly. if we want investment in our country to continue, businesses to stay here and others to come, we need to start talking about transitional arrangements now. there's transitional arrangements need to be on the same basic terms as now, in the single market, within as now, in the single market, within a customs union. every passing week
1:55 pm
without progress on transitional arrangements makes things worse for businesses, not better. we need to make progress this week, and before december. we also need to drop the nonsense about no deal. only fantasists and fanatics talk up no deal. no deal is not good for the uk. no deal is not good for the eu. and i know it is not what the secretary wants but he must realise the slow progress of these talks raises the risk of no deal. so, the critical question for him today that we need to have answered from that dispatch box is what does he intend to do between now and friday, to deliver on the commitment to accelerate the talks? what words does he want to hear on friday to evidence that progress? how confidence is he on a scale of 1—10
1:56 pm
that he will hear those words? and what is the intent if he fails? the shadow brexit secretary reply to david davis after he updated mps on the progress on the brexit bill gauche asians. time for a look at the weather. we ta ke we take a look back at the weekend and we started with this major category three hurricane. over spain and portugal, bringing a trail of damage to the north and west of the uk and ireland as well. gusts up to 97 miles an hour. some damage to the uk, blowing down trees, causing disruption to power supplies and transport networks. the seas have stayed pretty rough today. gusts now

hits a five—year high — it's costing us more to travel and to eat. and it's still going up. we expect that inflation will peak in the october— november figures, we expect that inflation will peak in the october— novemberfigures, so peaking potentially above 3%. an international think tank suggests britain would benefit from a 2nd brexit referendum. the chancellor says that's not going to happen. the government is clear that we're leaving the european union, and that we wa nt leaving the european union, and that we want a deep and special partnership with the european union, maintaining close economic ties. hate crime on the rise in england and wales, with incidents increasing immediately after the eu referendum, and terror attacks.
