buchan, david duguid, has said his constituents and the fishing communities are disappointed and is threatening to vote down a final brexit deal. he's been speaking to our political correspondent, chris mason. absolutely, this is the biggest constituency for fishing absolutely, this is the biggest constituency forfishing in banff absolutely, this is the biggest constituency for fishing in banff & buchan, and my constituents across the board are disappointed with what has come out today. i think we a lwa ys has come out today. i think we always knew there would be some kind of leeway in the implementation period but we were looking at a nine—month period between the march brexit date and the end of the calendar year and that has been extended by another 12 months which we are finding unacceptable.” extended by another 12 months which we are finding unacceptable. i guess the essence of this is that in the campaign of taking back control, something central to that is the idea of fishing and fishing rights being imported back to the uk. i guess for that reason, emotionally

as well as in your constituency, economically, is why this is so porton is. don't think i've spoken toa porton is. don't think i've spoken to a single mp who doesn't understand that whatever you believe about brexit, fishing is the one area we were supposed to benefit. we need to benefit as soon as possible. there's no new process to be implemented, nothing that requires an implementation period because the processes we are negotiating already exist. the only difference would be us exist. the only difference would be us taking our seat at the table as an independent coastal state. has your government sold your constituency down the river here? constituency down the river here ?|i am constituency down the river here?” am certainly hearing that from my constituents and the fishing organisations themselves. myjob is to make sure that doesn't happen. they are teetering on the edge of a cliff —

more than ten homes in the norfolk village of hemsby were evacuated at the weekend during high winds and waves. their owners have been told that it's too dangerous to go back and their properties are in danger of falling into the sea. robbie west reports. on saturday night, on the cliff edge, homes hung over the sea this morning in hemsby, following another night of strong winds and stormy seas. people started to leave on friday. as the tide was drawing in, lifeboat crews helped move people out. stephen chadwick knew he had to go after seeing his garden disappear overnight. i bought it for sea views, beautiful sea views. and now the sea has taken it away. woke up this morning, had a cup of coffee at half past seven at the back door. i felt — it was like an earthquake, and the cliffjust went. just in total shock, and watching people taking most of the house apart. i don't think i'll be here tomorrow. homeowners were evacuated following a fortnight of high tides and easterly winds that washed the coast‘s natural defences away. the next morning, the damage could be seen. the council say 13 homes remain in a precarious position, and are being inspected

after each high tide. these properties probably won't be lived in again. the damage caused — i was up there friday, then saturday, and what was there, a six—metre dune, that is actually gone. paul rayjoined the lifeboat crews after seeing his home. he believes it's unsafe for his wife and dogs to return to the house they have lived in for the past eight years. to look at it, i think to myself, that's my home and i've lost it. but obviously i've got to look on the positive side, that i wasn't in there last night, nobody lost their lives or anything. and everybody got us out and looked after us very well. so i've got to move forward, though i have lost my home. five years ago here in hemsby, three homes were washed away following a storm surge. 13 homes are in immediate danger this time. as owners return today, they hope history won't repeat itself. robbie west, bbc news, hemsby. in a moment it will be time

6:58 pm
and wales, temperatures still around 7 degrees, maybe up to nine or ten across some parts of scotland and northern ireland after that very frosty start. there's only one way the temperatures are going this week and that is on the up. atlantic winds will gradually bring milder airto all. you're watching beyond one hundred days. a significant moment in the brexit negotiation. the uk and eu have agreed terms for a transition, pending a satisfactory divorce. under the terms of the deal britain will be allowed to sign new trade deals with the rest of the world that will come into force in 2021. but here's the hitch — the two sides still have a lot of tricky issues to figure out, not least the irish border question. businesses need not delay investment decisions all rushed through contingency plans based on guesses about the future deal. instead, they now have certainty about the terms that will apply immediately after
