we re were saying, boris wants that you were saying, boris wants that clean break have to like liam fox and michael gove, people like philip hammond and amber rudd what a much closer relationship with the eu. finding a compromise between those will be quite difficult. in the times story they've said this meeting is not going to be about shouting, trying to win arguments, it'll be about everybody laying out their positions and explaining where they come from. the key figure in this will be michael gove. doing the broadcast around speaking on behalf of the prime minister this morning. the man talking about taking back control, the democratic liberalisation of a concept he's the one saying it's great giving £35 billion to the eu, just what we wanted. which way he falls on this decision, do we remain close to europe or go far away? he'll be the deciding factor on how you broker the second phase of the talks. this indicates more about what mrs may's position is. if she is softer... the

story says she wants to confront borisjohnson on this issue. she is clear in her is interesting. i don't think we've had back clarity until now. it's amazing when you began this week, in a weak position mrs may was in. on monday she was meant to do the deal, it fell apart, she had to take a quick phone call from arlene foster of the dup who said she would block the deal. there was talk of her being gone by christmas, couldn't last the week, now she's bounced back. even now there is talk she will hold the reshuffle, to bring more life into her cabinet.“ it likely in the present scenario? one might think she wants things to settle down. you think reshuffle is likely? she does want to have a reshuffle and has wanted to do so since the june election. bit by bit she has lost more and more political capital and gain some of the budget, the first budget in who knows how long, that didn't fall apart the day after. she's now got this deal, bit

by bit getting stronger. i think if she's going to sack some people, promote some people, before the end of the year, it's a pretty good time. there was talk philip and the chancellor would be moved aside. as you say, his budget has done rather well. i haven't heard the business world complaining about it, pretty unusual. no, i think world complaining about it, pretty unusual. no, ithink the world complaining about it, pretty unusual. no, i think the business world, again, as long as certainty, stability, is welcome as well. the idea of who is leading, what they are leading on, is quite important. sorry... i do think... there is this moment of strength, that's the point. coming forward we'll get into more detail and it'll get really difficult which is what your newspaper said. it's not going to be simple. michael gove has written in the telegraph... you spotted, seeming terribly enthusiastic, some

might saya seeming terribly enthusiastic, some might say a slight reversal of where he was before, it's near the end you've spotted what you think is a golden nugget. indeed, possibly. michael gove has written an opinion piece which explains what a wonderful deal this is, the best deal donald trump might say. in the end, an interesting sentence about this exit proposal, saying it's a british people dislike the arrangement we've negotiated with the eu, the arranged... the agreement will allow a future government to diverged. what he's saying is... it will not buy into the uk hands to follow that trajectory for evermore. let's say we had a soft deal and it wasn't working, the tory government would get a looser, have a hard brexit. or a future government might come along and say, this isn't working, maybe we should go back into the eu. this isa very we should go back into the eu. this is a very significant thing for michael gove, essentially saying even though we thought the brexit question was closed and done, it's in the hands of the people. he says

the agreement will allow... he's saying this is built into the agreement. which i've not seen highlighted today. nigel farage will have something sharp to say about that. to put it mildly. one thing to note about mr gove, one of the reasons he's being ultra—loyal, like mr johnson, gove, one of the reasons he's being ultra—loyal, like mrjohnson, who's been more of a troublemaker, mr gove is desperate to be chancellor, that is desperate to be chancellor, that is the job you'll really want. if he's very loyal and shows himself politically astute, come the reshuffle, maybe the hapless, slightly hapless mr hammond might get moved aside, that's what he's hoping anyway. thank you for all that. it is like a cunning plan. let's move on to other matters. funnily enough the sun has it quite prominently, for them anyway. trump frenzy it talks about. sebastian, remind us what this is all about and why it's so important. one of his campaign promises this week was to move the us embassy from tel aviv to

jerusalem. and acknowledge jerusalem is the capital city. this was a policy instigated by congress in 1996, but it's so explosive that no us president has ever enacted every six months they just us president has ever enacted every six months theyjust ignore it and sign it. mrtrump six months theyjust ignore it and sign it. mr trump promised to do this and has fulfilled on this work against the advice of all his allies, everyone in nato, theresa may, the eu said don't do this, you will inflame tensions. he said no, we've got to do it, it's the right thing to do. what a surprise, we've had tensions. you can see pictures in the son of the israeli flag burned. demonstrations at the london embassy. one palestinian protester shot and killed in these protests. i think it'll be a tinderbox for this outlandish decision. mr trump took this decision largely because he said he would. whatever people think of him as president, he gets reviled on so many of him as president, he gets reviled on so many levels, but actually he

said he would do it and promised his supporters in the united states he would. he said the same on his taxation reforms. he is so... pre—election there was talk of him not following through on these crazy ideas. that was the received wisdom. that isn't what happened, is gone for his campaign promises and is very keen to keep his constituency happy. that is ignoring what his allies and diplomacy and all normal forms a baby you expect from the us president. state department and so one as well. you mentioned the business of tax cuts. that seems to have gone down very well again with business generally. is that an important marker for the future do you think? from america?|j important marker for the future do you think? from america? i certainly think that is trump's focus, it's about being able to do business,

sometimes i think it's about his businesses being able to do... particularly tax cuts. they feel they've lost a lot of business to other jurisdictions that they've lost a lot of business to otherjurisdictions that have made the same kind of tax regimes, so yeah, you can see why he's doing that. indeed. this is for his core voters, who the reason they went for mrtrump over hillary voters, who the reason they went for mr trump over hillary clinton was because they thought, here is a guy who says it like it is, a proven do he cuts deals, he'll get things done. exactly what he's doing. when it comes to his election there will bea it comes to his election there will be a lot of outrage and his policies that have been discriminatory, helping big business. to a lot of those caught trump supporters, he promised to build the wall and has built some of it. he promised to move the embassy. it to put in a travel ban and has done that. he is a doer of deals. jerusalem wasn't a deal, it was a unilateral announcement. i think that is the

worry, that he's taking no notes. he really doesn't carry people with him, that's the very distressing thing about the president. one story we can't avoid, front page of the daily mirror, thrills and chills, stowing a lot. observation i would make it is a bit early for snow isn't it? callum mcrae yes. do you like snow? i like to look at it rather than be in it. you won't be tobogganing down the hill like the little girl or boy on the front.|j don't think we'll see snow in london but the rest of the country should have some fun. i hope it's positive for the children. not fun for the children who lose electricity. coming up to christmas i imagine it is the last thing... they don't deal well with these things. it's about having the infrastructure and planning to recover, that we know how to cope with this. it is where the testis. we don't have to cope, i guaranteed by monday morning it'll be train lines covered in snow,

roads blocked. as long as it's the right kind of snow. the crunchy kind of snow you can get your feet into. thank you both very much indeed, thatisit thank you both very much indeed, that is it from the papers, you can see the front pages of the papers online at the bbc news website. the death seven days a week. —— they are there seven days a week. if you missed the programme any week you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer. to helen and is —— sebastien buemi goodbye. to helen and sebastian, thank you. goodbye. the snow today has been very hit and miss across the uk. many of us have seen scenes like this. a number of us seen scenes like this. a number of us have had no snow at all. it's been mostly clear skies. snow

showers have been falling in distinct areas, you can see, carried by the wind moving from the north—west in a south—east direction across wales, northern parts of scotland, and northern ireland. to the east of the country and the south it has been a completely different story, clear blue skies and a cold, crisp day. for the rest of the night, lots of clear whether around, harsh frost developing across the uk. you can see where the snow showers are across northern parts of scotland, some around merseyside. into other parts of wales, further south as well. in towns and cities under —1. —8 in some rural areas. starts cold and frosty tomorrow, again, snow showers possibly around manchester, falling during the afternoon. a sunny day right across the country. overall. temperatures up to two or three degrees briefly touching four or five across southern areas. watch what happens later on on saturday. as frost develops and temperatures

drop across the uk, another weatherford pushes off the atlantic, bumps into the cold air, and is cold enough for snow. —— weather front. the midlands, east anglia, northern england, and amber warning the midlands, east anglia, northern england, and amberwarning in the midlands, east anglia, northern england, and amber warning in force. it means the snow could be disruptive first thing on sunday morning. many of us will be waking up morning. many of us will be waking up to snow already lying on the ground. it could be further north or south. the thinking is across the south. the thinking is across the south of the country it'll be too warm for snow. look at the contrasting temperatures, ten in plymouth. by the time we get to the midlands, close to freezing. sharp temperature increase as we go south. in the south we're not going to get snow. gale force winds are more likely. monday, another low pressure comes in. looks as though it could bring a spell of snow across central, southern part of the uk. at least temporarily into the london area. this snow will be very short lived. other western areas will

probably have a very windy but bright sort of day. stays much brighter into tuesday. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11: part one of the brexit deal is done, at last clearing the way for the crucial next stage — including intial talks about trade. getting to this point has required give and take on both sides and i believe thejoint report that is being published is in the best interests of the whole of the uk. smiles for a real continental brea kfast after talks through the night. but a warning too of what's to come. we all know that breaking up is hard, but breaking up and building a new relation is much harder. clashes in the west bank pit palestinians against israeli

soldiers during protests against donald trump's recognition ofjerusalem as the capital of israel. and snow across parts of the uk causes chaos on the roads and there's colder weather on the way.
