through. a man is charged with murder after a pregnant women is shot through the stomach with a crossbow. the baby survived after an emergency caesarean section. the trial of one of the world's most powerful drug traffickers begins in new york, el chappo is accused of smuggling narcotics from mexico to the united states. an online petition to get iceland's christmas advert shown on tv has been signed by more than 750,000 people. after months of negotiaitons and wrangling, there's been a significant breakthrough today after british and eu negotiators finally agreed on a draft text for how the united kingdom will leave the eu next year. cabinet ministers are being called

in to see the prime minister one by one tonight to discuss the proposals before they are put before the full cabinet tomorrow afternoon. they've also agreed an outline political declaration, effectively what our future relationship with the eu will look like after we leave. 0ur political editor laura kuennsberg has this report from westminster. do you think a deal is within reach that you could sign up to? the agreement is finally in number 10's grasp. the document that's been the source of dispute for so long. at last, the plans, the compromises, will go before the cabinet tomorrow and then we'll know whether they approved the divorce with the eu in all our names. we are obviously working hard on this final phase of the negotiations, this final stage. i think we should remain positive on getting a good dealfor our country and taking our country forward and getting on with the job,

so that's what we are doing. don't forget, many of the cabinet have a less rosy view. number 10 might struggle to get their wish to agree the so—called withdrawal agreement before autumn‘s out. desperate to broker a pact at home and abroad by the end of the month. i think it's a step forward. it appears the government has got over the first hurdle by agreeing a text. if cabinet sign up, then there's the rest of the eu to confirm. the german leader today expressing regret that brexit is happening at all. translation: great britain is soon to leave. this is a deep wound. after a summit with the eu, the government faces the heavy toil of parliament. a few dozen tories and all the opposition parties are poised to vote against theresa may's plan, almost whatever it is. and there is just no way that some

brexiteers will ever come on—board. for the first time in a thousand years, this place, this parliament will not have a say over the laws that govern this country. it is a quite incredible state of affairs. it will mean that we are having to accept rules and regulations from brussels over which we have no say ourselves. it is utterly unacceptable to anybody who believes in democracy. remember, the prime minister has no majority on her own and there is no sign that labour are willing to come to her aid. given the shambolic nature of the negotiations, this is unlikely to be a good deal for the country. obviously, we'll wait to see the detail but we've made it clear that if it doesn't meet our test we won't be voting for it. tonight, ministers have a chance to read through the hundreds of pages of legal texts that will shape our country for years to come. if, and it is a big if, the cabinet and then

parliament can actually agree. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is in downing street. it's been a long and difficult road for teresa made. clearly a lot of progress has been made from where the european union expected to be. a lot of hard work has gone into this from our negotiation team, from ministers that have been involved. both sides want to get this to an emergency summit by the end of the month. now there is this draft text, but what was so interesting was that standing over in the house of commons as news filtered out, that there might be a draft text circulating suddenly looked around

and there we had a whole host of mps, dup, and also conservatives from the brexit wing of the parties all coming out to get on the airways to say straightaway that they could not possibly back it. now already we have had people from the other side, from the cabinet coming out now and saying come down, first of all the main thing is to read it. the cabinet will decide tomorrow if this is the interest of the united kingdom. from ministers that have been involved, it's now time for the cabinet to sit down and having digested the details of the text and that's what we're going to do tomorrow. that will only kick in if

there is no trade agreement in place to prevent border checks between northern ireland and ireland. that is the plan because of course the wa ry is the plan because of course the wary on the side of many brexit supporters is that the uk will be stuck in this forever, and they think that you end up with far less say over your own future that you had being in the eu, but there are others, other brexit supporters who are willing to give us a chance. the fact that we are moving forward is good news. we've seen some speculative reporting, but the one thing i've learned through this whole brexit process is the amount of speculation is always huge. i decide, i've decided to base my thoughts and comments on fact, and we'll see those in the near future. and i just think everybody should just be an little bit calm,

let's see what's actually in the proposal before we comment on it. so tomorrow afternoon here at two o'clock the cabinet will gather together after these individual meetings tonight with the prime minister, and after reading the document they will gather to make the decision to see if this is a deal they can back. it is going to bea deal they can back. it is going to be a crucial moment. borisjohnson urging some of them to resign from the cabinet in protest. we'll have to see if they decide to do that. the next after that will be a vote in the house of commons. not a man

who is in charge of trying to get conservative mps and others to back this deal is julian conservative mps and others to back this deal isjulian smith. he does not do many interviews, he did have a quick word as he left earlier today. i think there has been terrific work by the team to focus oi'i terrific work by the team to focus on the best deal for britain and businesses. the best of herjobs and families to get the best possible deal, and i think the cabinet ministers will look at that tomorrow, and i am confident we will get this through parliament, and we can deliver the promise we delivered to the delivering brexit to make sure this is the best interest of companies and businesses and families. julian smith actually return here not that long ago to go back and, and he was asked if he did any arm—twisting which of course is his job to persuade people. he said he did not need to and he said he was very confident it would go through, and he was excited a deal is drawn

closer. he is optimistic. when you look at the makeup of the cabinet is impossible to identify people who could be doubtful i what we're talking in the stage? words are filtering out about the direction this is going in, so people like the international development secretary, esther mcveigh land, there are said to be unhappy. dominic robbed the brexit secretary himself, you were reports that he was on the verge of resignation. he emerged from here earlier with eight smile on his face as did liam fox. —— with a smile on his face. many want to see details, mainly in the uk will be trapped in this customs union, and how closely aligned with the have to be on rules

and regulations and also of course the dup without they have not seen this document yet, but they are very concerned about being treated differently from the rest of the united kingdom. from what they have heard, they must reiterate again that they need to be supportive. that will put pressure on theresa may at that point, but as we said, the first hurdle is to get the cabinet behind her. a short while ago, my colleague christian fraser spoke to dominic grieve, the conservative mp and a prominent remain politician. one of the anxieties that there's always been with this, is that on this you look understand the detail, it will be impossible to understand the extent to which the united kingdom remains bound during the transition period to the eu, and the consequences of that, and secondly of course there's issue of the backstop and the extent to which that might continue bind us long after the transitionary period has come to an end. and this is the extraordinary thing,

that suddenly you see remainers in parliament standing alongside brexiteers. we've heard from jacob rees—mogg this evening who said this will render the uk a vassal state. the dup say it will set northern ireland apart. can you see then, any which way that this document passes the parliament? if the dup and the number of my colleagues who crowded into central lobby i understand an hour ago are anything to go by, then it looks to me very difficult to see that this deal will get through parliament, because they will have the numbers to stop it, assuming the opposition parties all vote against the deal which i think most of them will, maybe one or two labour mps might vote another way. but it sounded to me from what you just told us, you would be minded to vote against it as well. the difficulty that i have is that my view is we have embarked on a project that has proved to be totally flawed, and what worries me the most is we are, if we approve this deal about to leave

the eu on the 29th of march, in a way that ifear is going to satisfy no one, and the obvious answer to that is to go back to the public and to explain to them what has been negotiated, and the limits of what is possible, but ask them if they really want this. if they do really want this, but i for one as a democrat, will simply put my hands up and say right that's what the british people want, so be it. but i also think it's possible they might say, actually, this is very poor deal, we understand much more about the implications for leaving now, we don't want to leave. and to deny people that opportunity when the reality of this negotiation that we are going to i'm afraid end up in a third—rate relationship, troubles me very much. we are about to allow ourselves to leave the eu without consulting the public about the future when it's manifestly clear that the best the government can do is likely to be a third—rate outcome. when you study this document, when it's finally

presented to parliament, you will have to read that alongside the advice that is being given to the government by the attorney general. can you explain to us what you secured in parliament today. from my point of view, i secured a promise from the government that there would be a full document setting out the government's analysis of the legal position, and that is exactly what i would have expected, and i am very grateful for it. the government is likely to have to produce details of the attorney general‘s advice, although whether it chooses to do that or tries to choose some other route, i simply don't know. many politicians in westminster have taken to twitter to give their reaction today's brexit developments. the labour leader jeremy corbyn tweeted ‘labour has been clear from the beginning that we need a deal to support jobs and the economy, and that guarantees standards and protections. if this deal doesn't meet our six tests and work for the whole country, then we will vote against it.‘ meanwhile the snp leader

nicola sturgeon said ‘if the pm's ‘deal‘ satisfies no—one and can't command a majority, we mustn't fall for her spin that the uk crashing out of eu without a deal is then inevitable. we should take the opportunity to get better options back on the table. chair of the brexit select committee and labour mp hilary been asks ‘has anyone actually seen the text of what has apparently been agreed by the negotiators on the? matt warman a conservative mp tweeted ‘the capacity of mps to be enraged about an eu deal they haven't read is as disappointing as it is unsurprising. cool heads in the national interest might be more appropriate.‘ and conservative mp jonathan djanogly has tweet ‘how come all these brexiteers are throwing their toys out of the pram, before we know the deal terms.

could it be that they always intended us tojump naked off the cliff whatever the terms!‘ and we‘ll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow‘s front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are miranda green, who‘s deputy comment editor for the ft, and christopher hope, the chief political correspondent at the daily telegraph. the headlines on bbc news... london and brussels agree a draft text for an agreement on brexit. cabinet ministers have been called to downing street one by one tonight to discuss it. but prominent brexiteers are deeply unhappy. a man is charged with murder after a pregnant women is shot through the stomach with a crossbow. the baby survived after an emergency caesarean section. the trial of one of the world‘s most

prominent drug traffickers is being accused of smuggling drugs from mexico to the united states. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘sjohn watson. wayne rooney says he hopes his farewell game for england could see other players honoured ina similarway. england‘s record goal—scorer makes a one—off return to international football against the usa on thursday in recognition of his international achievements. his return has split opinion, with suggestions it devalues english caps. rooney is the first to receive such a send off, and believes it should have happened to other players before him. with some players we all know some of the older players particularly players who won the world cup, and we note if they were unseated as

well as they possibly should have been, that is through no fault of them the members of the faa or the staff, i think that if any are trying to move a different direction and celebrate us who have made an impact in the country, so it‘s going to be split opinions because the first one hopefully in the future there will be a lot more. tottenham defender kieran trippier has withdrawn from the england squad with a groin injury. he‘ll miss thursday‘s friendly and the nations league match with croatia next week. scotland‘s women have the unenviable task of trying to stop the usa‘s nine match winning run. they‘re taking on the world champions in paisley and are trailing 1—0 at half—time. alex morgan gave the three—times world champions the lead on 38 minutes. scotland are set to make their first appearance in the world cup next summer in france. the premier league has named a new chief executive,

susanna dinnagejoins from discovery to take overfrom richard scudamore when he steps down next month. in his 19 years at the organisation he‘s overseen a 12 fold increase in the premier league‘s rights to more than £8 billion. it‘s believed top flight clubs have been asked to contribute to a five million pound farewell gift for scudamore. lewis hamilton says he plans to improve on his best season yet, after winning a fifth world title. he returned to mercedes hq to thank them for their support during another successful season after winning the drivers title in mexico with two races to spare. victory in sunday‘s brazilian grand prix helped clinch the constructors championship for mercedes and already he‘s set his sights on next season. there are so many mountains to climb. there are still difficult times ahead. i don‘t know when it will come, but i feel better prepared now than i ever have been, and i‘ve signed for two more years,

so and i‘ve signed for two more years, soi and i‘ve signed for two more years, so i want to look at this season which has been the best season of my career without how can i improve next year? there are tonnes of areas. it is easy to point that the areas. it is easy to point that the areas. it is not easy to improve on them. roger federer is playing dominic thiem in the atp tour finals in london this evening. that game is just getting underway. both players looking for their first wins after defeats in their opening round robin matches. thsi afternoon kevin anderson hammered japan‘s kei nishikori. he won 6—0, 6—1injust an hour and four minutes. the south african is now top of their group after two wins. and jamie murray reached the doubles semi—finals of the atp finals in london for a third successive year. the scotland brazilian partner bruno soares beat colombia‘s juan—sebastian cabal and robert farah 6—4, 6—3. that‘s all the sport for now. i‘ll have more for you in sportsday at half past ten. lets return to the news that

after nearly a year and half of often fraught discussions, british and eu officials have come up with a draft brexit withdrawal agreement. cabinet ministers are being called into downing street individually this evening for discussions with the prime minister. damian grammaticas is in brussels. how does this all look from where you are? the eu side very tight—lipped at the minute, not much has come out because they have invested so much time and effort to work out these really difficult questions, and this legal wording that has gone into this hundreds of pages. they have now handed it over to the uk government, and they don‘t wa nt to to the uk government, and they don‘t want to say anything until they see what the reaction is back in london, because the really key thing now is that the drafters, the negotiators have done their part, and it‘s over

to the politicians and the pulp political side of this negotiation, and this is really where i think for the uk, the politics of brexit, though what deal is the uk going to get? suddenly comes to focus, and we will suddenly see the debate around that start to happen. the worry here is they are not sure whether this will get through the cabinet, and whether this will ultimately get through parliament, so a nervous wait here, a sort of exhaustion, but they will wait to see, and if the signals are positive coming from london, then tomorrow we will seek eu ambassadors start to meet here. as your deferred to, the politicians and london have got to start making decisions that at some point it comes back to where you are and other european capitals. let‘s give us other european capitals. let‘s give usa other european capitals. let‘s give us a sense other european capitals. let‘s give us a sense of how many more european hurdles this is the jump over. quite

a few. initially we are going to have tomorrow afternoon, a meeting of the 27 eu countries and ambassadors here in liaisons closer to what happens to the initiations here. they will gather, and they will be shown what is in this final text. that will be the first hurdle. the irish government you obviously have to meet. if the documents are approved by the uk side, and there is not more negotiations, because that could still be opened up at this stage, but if it is ok, and the documents all go to the eu 27 countries, their ministers will have to gather here in the next sort of week or so, and they will brush out anyissues week or so, and they will brush out any issues they might have. we will see at least a few of those meetings going on, and there could be a seven to ten day process if we are going to ten day process if we are going to get to some sort of position

where eu leaders and theresa may have everything lined up to have a summit. plenty of times over arguments. i‘m just looking at some comments from david davis the former brexit secretary who i don‘t think is out until now. he says this is the moment of truth. this is the fork in the road. do we pursue a future as an independent nation, or accept eu domination come a imprisonment and the customs union, and second—class status. he com pletes and second—class status. he completes his comments with this. cabinets and all conservative mps should stand up, be counted, and say no to this capitulation. a man has been charged with murder after a heavily pregnant woman was killed with a crossbow in east london yesterday. the 50—year—old man, who was arrested at the scene, appeared in court this afternoon. the 35—year—old woman was attacked at her home in ilford.

trafficking gang is starting in new york under intense security. joaquin guzman, who is known as el chapo, was arrested in january 2016 after escaping from prison through a tunnel five months earlier. the mexican is accused of running the notorious sinaloa drug cartel. nada tawfik reports. joaquin guzman was the us authorities's greatest prize in the in the waron authorities's greatest prize in the in the war on drugs. he is known as the most powerful drug cartel. his extradition to the united states from mexico almost two years ago said the stage for what is sure to be the biggest trial for narcotics crimes in us history. prosecutors accuse him of trafficking drugs such as cocaine and heroin worth $14 billion into the country through a cartel. his defence attorneys say

his reputation doesn't match the reality. he is the perfect scapegoat. you would think he was the only drug dealer in mexico. there aren‘t leaders of the sinola can‘t doubt that are as big as him. before his capture following this dramatic raid, a chapel was a mythical figure. he twice escaped from maximum—security prisons, once through a mile—long tunnel from his jail cell shower. peter says it was el chapo own mistakes that led to his arrest. he ultimately was undone by his own arrogance, and his own sense of ability to get out of any jam. it is said he was planning to make a film about his life. after a secret meeting with actor sean penn, he agreed to record an interview.

the tape will likely feature it in his trial, alongside evidence such as wiretaps, drug and weapon seizures, and testimony from rival cartel members. the trial here in brooklyn will take place under heavy security, and could last up to four months. if found guilty, el chapo will spend the rest of his life in a maximum security prison in the united states. we can speak now to the journalist douglas century, who co—authored the book "hunting el chapo". he joins me live from new york. good evening. thank you for having me on. did you ever imagined you would see this day? no, i did not actually believe that el chapo would be extradited and face us justice

without as your report said, it‘s certainly the biggest drug trial in american history, and his ability to the system up to the highest levels of government made him seem untouchable, so the fact that he is on trial here it is a remarkable day. pablo escobar is the only other figure of his stature in public logy. figure of his stature in public mythology, was shot to death in 1993. we have never seen someone this big on trial. i was wondering where you put the name pablo escobar and any others that would come to mind. but this is the big one correct? escobar had a brief but interesting rain. if you look at the 80s when cocaine was coming into them miami. watch opera was able to do, he was escaping from prison and was on the run for 13 years. he was arguably the most powerful man in

mexico. the tunnel he escaped from the present, 115 km, on rails with electricity, he had those at the border. he is the pioneer of the logistical tricks that have gone pretty sinaola cartel failed to control most of the tractate to connect drug trade —— to control the drug trade in america and canada. we are talking very freely about him across the united states and other countries they are as well. it makes a thought about whether he can have a thought about whether he can have afair a thought about whether he can have a fair trial was a thought about whether he can have afairtrialwas up a thought about whether he can have a fair trial was up that is interesting. the jury was selected, seven women and five men, one woman had a panic attack, so opening arguments did not begin because of a panic attack. most of the jurors

have watched the netflix showed enamoured of him. a fair trial, it is interesting. —— people will have heard things, but i think the argument that his lawyer made in previous clips that he is an underling is a farce. everyone knows he is the top of the food chain. people who get extradited will flip, co—operate, and give him someone higher. the ginch up and give up? he cannot give anyone and inform on anyone. —— who can‘t el chapo give up. it was interesting watching the footage of all the security in place. it is a little laughable. his power and mexico was substantial. the idea that they were shouting at brooklyn bridge because people might watch a paramilitary attack, i mean they did not close the bridge for

john gotti, but the threat to the jurors, imagine serving on a jury for potentially four months, but being brought to court by us marshals. it is a tricky trial, and i think the security, el chapo has been very resourceful. he is in a 23 hour a day to lock down, and my suspicion is the best that his defence can hope for is a mistrial. the idea that they might get to one juror is possible. we have never seen a na rco juror is possible. we have never seen a narco of his stature go on trial. we have never seen a billionaire with his level of power actually face a court room, so it‘s going to be historic how it turns out. and it does make you wonder as well, how did he eventually make a fairly key mistake, the night he got caught. it's interesting. it was that the meeting was sean penn, but andrew hogan who co—authored the

book said it was an extraordinary cooperation between the drug enforcement, homeland security agents, and they cooperated with this elite brigade of mexican marines who cover their faces at all times because their families are at risk. they targeted every aspect of el chapo infrastructure. his libraries were encrypted, but they managed over years to zero it down toa managed over years to zero it down to a few block radius which is the stronghold and sinaola, and they launched a raid. el chapo escaped or a hydraulic bathtub, up but it was gumshoe detective work mixed with high—tech technology. i don‘t believe it was his arrogance was up i think it was the diligence of law enforcement and, no crook is above justice. john gotti, the craze,

whoever is on the totem pole of mythicalfigures in whoever is on the totem pole of mythical figures in criminal war, they are always catchable. it takes they are always catchable. it takes the right techniques, and ingenuity, and cooperation of the agencies involved. they can usually get their man. thank you very much douglas. we are going to take you to a live event that has begun in central london. this is a people‘s vote event that is of course the campaigning groupfor event that is of course the campaigning group for another referendum on the find out brexit deal. you can seejoejohnson who resigned from the government at the end of last week, and he is talking, it surprisingly to gary linacre. let‘s listen in. it surprisingly to gary linacre. let's listen in. i know how much they all think deeply about these issues, and they're all looking

deeply into their consciousness and wonder if they can support this deal. what do you think will happen? it's always hard to predict the full weight of the government pr spin machine without the windsor going to tie into the screws and all parties, so tie into the screws and all parties, so is very hard to predict. —— the whips are going to tie into the screws. i thought what i thought about my constituents i had absolutely no doubt that they are not going to be well served by this deal. do you feel given the nature with your resignation and you are putting country before party? some people have suggested that but i think it

isa have suggested that but i think it is a false dichotomy. that is not a reasonable choice either, in fact for the future of the conservative party, any party whose mps back this deal, i think the future of the conservative party will be greatly imperiled if we are associated with this... if we are held responsible for taking the country into the absurd new relationship with the eu where most of our economy will be governed by rules that willett had no hands at all and chamber. that would have had no rules at all and chamber. i cannot accept that. i want to ask you not just for the people who are largely supporters,

but people who are around the country to stop what can they do to change this, how can we get this? everyone if they get out there and campaign. it is not a done deal. that choice the government is offering between the choice of no deal and a deal. there are alternatives to provide a brighter future for all of us. 0ne one more. one final question. you also have a message to the prime minister of the government in terms of brexit? the message is we have better choices as the country. how is it possible that our ambitions for ourselves have fallen so far, so fa st for ourselves have fallen so far, so fast that we are content to not

prepare this deal to whether we are better or compared to no deal, but not to look we are better off compared to our current situation in the eu, so we need to reframe the debate and actually lift the horizons and be more ambitious for ourselves and stop what is and him andjo ourselves and stop what is and him and jojohnson. ourselves and stop what is and him and jo johnson. that is jo johnson who was the transport minister until he resigned from government because he resigned from government because he did not see the government‘s approach to negotiating any brexit deal. that is his reaction since the d raft deal. that is his reaction since the draft text has emerged, and he called it a lousy deal. there have been other comments along similar lines, but from the other side of the argument because of coursejo johnson was a remainder in the

brexit campaign, by contrast, his brother borisjohnson was on the other side of it. of course he has been telling bbc news that he will vote against the deal when it comes before parliament. we are going to stay in the customs union. we are going to stay in large parts of the single market, and that means it‘s vassal state stuff. we are going to the first time in a thousand years, this parliament will not have a say over the laws that govern this country. it is a quite incredible state of affairs. 0ver which we have no say of ourselves. it is utterly unacceptable no say of ourselves. it is utterly u na cce pta ble to no say of ourselves. it is utterly unacceptable to anybody who believes in democracy, it is not the right way forward. the kicker is not only are we going to remain in the customs union, but also we will not have protected our precious union

because if you look at what they agreed to today come up if you look at the reports there is also customs and regulatory tracks down the i sea between great britain and northern ireland that currently do not exist. the first time since partition, dublin under these proposals would have more say in some aspects of the government in northern ireland and london, so i don‘t see how you can support it from a democratic point of view. i don‘t see how gideon asked can support it, and i don‘t see how you can support it if you believe in the political economic independence of the country. borisjohnson boris johnson unimpressed about borisjohnson unimpressed about the d raft borisjohnson unimpressed about the draft text at this stage. it would go back to the people‘s food event because that‘s speaking is ian blackford, the leader of the scottish nationalists at westminster. let‘s hear what he has

to say at this gathering. that is what irks it offers. when you think about it already, we lost the jobs of the european banking authority, we lost the medicines agencyjobs, good paying jobs in london, who in their right mind would prevent economic suicide to the extent that brexit is? this is about providing leadership. it is about recognising that we were sold in that referendum, it was mentioned earlier. we should be collectively ashamed about the way be referendum was held in 2016. people simply did not know what they were voting for and we have a prime minister that is

trying to force through brexit and if we look at what is happening, no iam glad if we look at what is happening, no i am glad because of the parliament, that we have a meaningful vote at the end of the process but the government and the prime minister, is trying to stop members of parliament laying down amendments that we can vote on ahead of the meeting. what a disgrace, what an affront to democracy and i say this to theresa may, you are not on! friends, let me give you some good news, tonight there is a letter which has gone to theresa may. 0n news, tonight there is a letter which has gone to theresa may. on a cross party basis, signed by myself, jeremy corbyn, and others, and we said in that letter, members of parliament have thought to have the ability to put down amendments before the vote and that must include a people‘s boat. —— eight

people‘s vote. include a people‘s boat. —— eight people's vote. applause friends, to use the phrase we are taking back control. let me tonight, let me thinkjeremy corbyn because this is the first time that the labour party, the smp, the liberal democrats and others have worked together and we will work together together and we will work together to beat brexit. applause cheering. that is ian blackford, the leader of the scottish nationalists at westminster with his message to

that people‘s boat offend in london and he saw before mayor and cabinet ministers speaking there as well. that draft brexit passage is now emerged which we will have to see the cabinet and government reacts to that in the next 24 hours or so. there has been a sharp rise from exclusions and classrooms and they have gone up by 43% in the last four yea rs have gone up by 43% in the last four years in england. 50,000 pupils are now taught in provision schools which educations for peoples outside of mainstream education. the surge by the bbc shows a 71% rise in temporary exclusions in the most deprived areas of england in the last four years. that‘s 4 times the rate in the least deprived areas. the department for education says every child should "benefit

from a high—quality education and equal opportunity, regardless of their background". our special correspondent ed thomas has spent a week in an independent alternative provision school in manchester. the number of children excluded from deprived schools is soaring. many end up in places like this — alternative provision. let me in. can you count how many times you have been excluded? i thought i'd be here six weeks, i've been here six months now. you name the safeguarding issues, we've got them tenfold. drugs is an influence, alcohol is an influence, gangs are an influence. we're dealing with challenging young people. that is the reality. harpurhey alternative provision school educates some of manchester‘s most vulnerable children. we have self—harmers, people who are extremely volatile, people who are 80% of the time are angelic but then 20%

of the time highly dangerous. most told us they had been given repeated fixed term exclusions. from here, i‘ve been excluded about seven times, and on the other one i got excluded more than that. i can‘t even count. the list of things that happened that led to you being excluded? fighting, swearing at teachers. we‘ve learned fixed term exclusions in the top 10% most deprived schools in england have increased by 70% over the last four years. four times the rate of the least deprived. this is a key stage three mix, so you‘ll have anything from 11 to 13. adam‘s training on the job to become a qualified teacher. this is one of the school‘s most challenging classes. how behind are they? some are three or four years. some larmour. —— some are more.

four years behind? potentially. these pupils desperately need his help. they‘re distracted, on their phones and arguing. just take five minutes. i willjust give you five minutes. it‘s too much for 14—year—old cameron. why did you remove yourself? everyone was arguing and it gets too loud. injust ten minutes, the teaching inside the classroom comes to an end. do you feel like you‘re learning? yes, but i want to go back to my old school because i want better education. kids who misbehave stop the learning. to send these children here, schools pay £12,000 a year — around twice the cost of a place in mainstream. the initial damage was done by a child. an independent school rated as inadequate. it‘s getting the resources together to get that covered. the head teacher told us they needed more money and resources. that needs ripping out.

the funding is not available at a minute. you are looking at grammar schools getting support from central government, and it‘s important to recognise the other side of that. i'm shutting the door now, boss. every day the school manages difficult situations. i don‘t know, i think it‘s english. 48 kids, six qualified teachers. when we filmed in the last week of term, two were off sick. the children in this classroom now, without a teacher, and have been like that for more than ten minutes. many here have complex needs. this pupil didn‘t appear to speak english, but the school said he could understand some words. should he be here? probably not. his home—school placed him here. the issue with that child, while he‘s got a language barrier, it‘s also about additional learning needs which haven‘t fully been established yet. afton is in charge of pastoral care. in crisis, many children turn to her. what‘s the reality of the backgrounds of these kids? it‘s very, very sad when they come into school, they‘ve been absolutely shattered, they were sleeping rough. we put a bed up for them

so they could have a good kip, and fed them, watered them. and there‘s a growing risk from gangs, violence and drugs. spice, we‘ve had kids collapse from spice. went white as a ghost and collapsed on the floor. weed, cocaine, pills. have you seen children coming in with knives? yeah, i have. a knife, about that big. we dealt with it immediately. this is how the other side live, unfortunately, and that‘s the side that isn‘t shown. but we deal with it every single day. the mission here is to work alongside mainstream schools to keep kids in education. so, when they do lose control... ..the fallout is carefully managed. read through the sections here.

and pupils like this can learn. everyone should get education the same. as other kids? yeah. do you think you deserve it as much as other kids? sometimes. time and time again, pupils told us this school was making a difference. we still deserve the education like everybody else, and i think we get it better here than most do in mainstream. what is this school giving you? a second chance. without this, what would happen to you? we‘d have no education. we get a few calculations done here. better than mainstream, where long periods were spent educated in isolation rooms. you have to look at one wall. i think i spent a month in there at one point. some days there'd be 11 or 10 of us. confined places, and you sit there and do nothing all day. if you put too much flour on, you dry the dough out. the reality is that last year, less than one in 20 children in alternative provision schools received a c grade or above in gcse maths and english. and each permanently excluded child

is estimated to cost taxpayers £370,000 in lifetime education, benefits, health care and criminal justice costs. what is your message when people say, this is just a doss and these kids should not be here? i really challenge that notion. we have students that come back two or three years later and say thank you for turning our life around. that student might have left us with three gcses, pretty poor grades, but we‘ve helped turn their life around. that is progress. that is success, and if we are not doing that, who else will do it? that was ed thomas without special report. the picture is a little gloomy, and joining us is karl ward. how much do you recognise the figures that ed thomas is highlighting there? they are no

surprise to me really, i think it is basic, we had eight years of the canine scop crisis and with vulnerable families and vulnerable children are hurt the most. there are some children in the uk that have never known living in a family where money is plentiful and that has been particularly difficult for them over the previous eight years, with no end in sight for that. and of course in those areas where those winner will families exists, then it isa winner will families exists, then it is a tough scenario for those children to live a normal life that many middle—class families by normal. the issue is that schools dealing with that time in reduction budgets and with the reduction in budgets and with the reduction in budget comes a reduction in services provided and that is the real issues. that we are seeing so many increases, exclusions figures that finances the schools are extremely tight. how do you weigh up as a head

teacher the decision that no headteacher wants to take, whereby ultimately you feel the only option is to exclude a child? you're absolutely right in saying that you do not want to do that, that is the last thing you do and i guarantee every had teacher when they make that decision will make that decision because they have tried ask —— absolutely everything in their power. those decisions have probably been made for the good for the rest of the school. when you look at the amount of students in the country, very few and far between where it they happen, they are real shock to be student, that family and the institution as well. but every headteacher that makes those decisions makes them from the point of view that they don‘t want to make them. it is in part to do with the pupils and the parents of the other pupils and the parents of the other pupils as well. absolutely, the

typical secondary school will be about 12,000, 1200 insides and they will make a few exclusions in a year. it is a relatively small proportion of the pupil number in that school. but the reality is that during the period of time that we are talking about over the last four yea rs, are talking about over the last four years, finances have decreased in schools significantly in pupil numbers have gone up and the government might argue that that therefore the total budget in the country has gone up but the actual real—time things and schools have gone down by about 8% in that time. you cannot provide the services that stu d e nts you cannot provide the services that students deserve on a continually reducing budget. we appreciate your time, thank you very much indeed. an online petition to get iceland‘s banned christmas advert shown on tv

has been signed by more than 750,000 people. the ad has been banned by clearcast, which approves adverts, for being too political. were decided against for being too political. it was originally produced for greenpeace, and shows a small girl allowing an orangutan to stay in her bedroom once she learns it‘s lost its home in the rainforest because of palm oil production. welljoining you now is katie mackay sinclair is a partner at the advertising agency mother which produced the advert. welcome and thank you for coming in. your involvement was from the beginning and how did it unfolds? back at last christmas we had a meeting with greenpeace at who we had been working with for a different project to discuss an opportunity to raise awareness of deforestation and with the specific focus on the impact it was having on

the orangutan population. but at that point it did not necessarily involve iceland. they did not involve iceland. they did not involve —— they were not involved about point. it ran online and cinema for greenpeace in august of this year. what are your thoughts on what clear cast has said about it? we knew from the beginning that greenpeace could never run the film on television, they are not allowed to advertise but because iceland the —— approached us to use the advert which is something we had never heard or is seen before, to use a brand that they had made for someone else, and the fact that they removed palm oilfrom their own brand projects, we knew there would be challenges but we did not realise there would be banned. it was not a plan to make it a viral ad and we

worked on weeks to get this through. that has been the suggestion that this was a clever plot which means far more were watching at them might of done before. yes, that is the story that some are saying, we would never be so cavalier as to recommend something so high risk. you can never guarantee that something is going to go viral but i can honestly say hand on heart that us and iceland were devastated when we found out after weeks of work that this ad could not see the light of day because all of us would have wa nted day because all of us would have wanted it to air on television but what has happened now, over 55 million people have seen this film isa million people have seen this film is a happy coincidence of some bad news. what does that say to you about the way we consume messages like this? i think the power, people power has really shown through this. it isa power has really shown through this. it is a powerful story, yes, a

compelling message from a retailer, ata time compelling message from a retailer, at a time of year when perhaps we‘re too focused on consumption and also the power of when we feel that something has been hidden from that we wa nt something has been hidden from that we want to see, maybe our voices will ring louder. it is a happy accident rather than something planned. thank you, let's check on the weather forecast now. for many of us it was a pleasant day and there were not too many showers around either but there is more rain to come in the forecasts and the first signs of that start through the night tonight and you can see wet weather on the coast and through northern ireland and much of scotla nd northern ireland and much of scotland but with all cloud around it is going to be a pretty mild night with overnight lows of 6—11d but we start with the north—south divide with the rest of the sunshine will be part across southern and central england. the rain heavy for a time through northern ireland in central scotland but that will start

to ease her way through the afternoon and we will see a bit of brightness here and in other areas of scotla nd brightness here and in other areas of scotland it could be a pleasant afternoon. a somewhat dry a condition likely for the end of the week, and a little bit cooler. that is, whatever you do, have a pleasant evening. hello, i‘m ros atkins, this is 0utside source. british and eu negotiators finally agree on proposals for how the uk should leave the european union. but will britain‘s parliament approve the terms. is there a deal mr hancock? britain‘s prime minister is calling in cabinet ministers one by one tonight to explain the compromises before a full cabinet meeting tomorrow afternoon. hamas agrees to an egyptian—brokered ceasefire after the heaviest
