this is bbc news. i'mjulian i'm julian worricker. the headlines at 11pm: hello, chancellor, is the agreement a good read? london and brussels produce a draft agreement on brexit. in downing street this evening, some ministers were shown what's been agreed, but there was evidence of deep division even before the contents were known. the prime minister's been very clear, that we've got to deliver the right dealfor clear, that we've got to deliver the right deal for britain that fulfils the terms of the referendum, that's in the interest of the united kingdom stop it the whole cabinet is united, and that's the right thing to do. for the first time in 1000 years, this place, this parliament will not have a say over the laws that govern this country. in california, a wildfire that has raged for five days is now officially the deadliest on record. around 100 people are still missing. around 100 people are still missing. around 44 people are now known to have died. an extended report from inside a special school for disruptive pupils, as numbers of exclusions in england rise sharply.

and at 11.30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers miranda green, the deputy comment editor for the financial times and christopher hope, the chief political correpsondent at the daily telegraph. good evening. two and a half years after the eu referendum, officials in london and brussels have finalised a draft brexit agreement. with little more than four months before the uk is set to leave the european union, cabinet ministers were called into downing street this evening to read what's being proposed before an emergency meeting of the whole cabinet is held tomorrow. but some conservative mps have already warned that the deal appears deeply unsatisfactory, and there's still no guarantee that the deal will be

approved by parliament. our political editor, laura kuenssberg, reports. do you think a deal‘s within reach that you could sign up to? agreement is finally in number ten'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're obviously working hard on this final phase of the negotiations, this final stage. i think we should remain positive on getting a good deal for our country. is there a deal, mr hancock? one brexiteer who's seen it pleads,

don'tjudge too fast.” brexiteer who's seen it pleads, don'tjudge too fast. i talked to the prime minister about where she thinks we've got to. that said, all the cabinet will need to read this group and discuss it tomorrow afternoon. the important thing is we do what's best for britain, best for the united kingdom and we deliver a brexit the british people will feel fulfils the terms of the referendum. but eurosceptics and northern ireland unionist allies crowded into parliament to condemn the draft almost as soon as it's existence was announced. for the first time in 1000 years, this place, this parliament will not have a say over the laws that govern this country. it isa the laws that govern this country. it is a quite incredible state of affairs. it will mean we're having to a cce pt affairs. it will mean we're having to accept rules and regulations from brussels over which we have no say ourselves. it is utterly unacceptable ourselves. it is utterly u na cce pta ble to ourselves. it is utterly unacceptable to anybody who believes in democracy. remember, in there the prime minister has no majority of her own, and she desperately needs votes from

the dup. i think a number of cabinet ministers, never mind conservative backbenchers, across the piece, whether they are remain or brexit, have voiced very serious concerns over a number of issues so the trick for theresa may will be can she satisfy everyone. a very hard sell i would've thought. no chance of labour coming to the rescue. given the shambolic nature of the negotiations, this is unlikely to be a good dealfor the country. obviously we'll wait to see the detail but we've made it clear on a number of occasions, if it doesn't meet our tests, we won't be voting for it. it's hard to see this crowd, with the odd famous face, will be satisfied. there's a small but noisy group in parliament who their numbers are strengthening and will vote no because they want another choice. i'm not going to accept a deal that will totally undermine our credibility in the whole of the rest of the world because even if some in my own party can't see this is a bad

deal, everyone else around the globe can. the man in charge of trying to get the deal through parliament was sounding chipper tonight, at least for the cameras. have you been twisting some arms, mr smith? the chief whip will only have that chance if, and it is and if, if his boss can persuade some of his collea g u es boss can persuade some of his colleagues around the top table to actually agree. earlier, our europe editor katya adler gave the perspective from brussels on today's step forward. those in the know here in brussels are keeping rather tightlipped. one of my high—level contacts sent me an emoji with a closed zip instead of a mouth. what do we actually know at this point? we know there's what's being called a mutual understanding. there's this draft outline brexit deal agreed between eu and uk negotiators, but that is not a final deal. it's a technical one rather

than past by politicians so tomorrow brussels will be looking very closely at the cabinet decision and if there's a rejection there then it's back to the drawing board. but don't forget, hugh, the governments of the 27 eu countries and the uk parliament will want to pour over the words of this 700 page document of the draft deal and of particular interest will be the compromised wording of the backstop, that guarantee over the irish border. because that guarantee would include a customs partnership between the eu and the uk, those trade most closely with the uk, including big hitters germany and france, want to make sure the uk would get no competitive advantage and out of that customs document. first of all here in brussels we have a meeting tomorrow between the 27 eu ambassadors. they'll talk about this outline d raft they'll talk about this outline draft agreement. they'll talk about a possible extraordinary brexit summit as early as the 25th of november, and as a sign of the

current uncertainty, they'll continue to talk about contingency planning in case there is no brexit deal at all. our ireland correspondent emma vardy gave us the latest from the irish border. the irish border isjust a bump in the tarmac here. it's become the biggest mountain to overcome in these brexit negotiations. the dup‘s biggest fear has been that theresa may would sell them out, would leave northern ireland more tightly tied to eu rules while the rest of the uk brea ks to eu rules while the rest of the uk breaks free. tonight they worry their biggest fears are coming true because the dup believes what's contained in this agreement on measures which could in future result in the need for new checks on goods coming from great britain to northern ireland in order to avoid checks at this border. in the last hour, we've heard arlene foster, the dup leader reiterate that this would be unacceptable. i can't stress enough for you how unbending the party is on this. tonight they're poised to follow through on their

many threats to support theresa may to get this through parliament. and here is the latest from westminster and our political editor laura kuenssberg. on that most contentious of all the issues mr has just been discussing, number 10 has told me tonight the withdrawal agreement will contain the promise of a uk wide customs agreement. they believe the years in northern ireland and fears among many tory eurosceptics that somehow northern ireland could be high off as part of all of this don't have to come true. they think they've had enough reassurance from brussels, they hope they have, to get that through cabinet tomorrow. frankly speaking, there's going to be a huge amount of importance with every line and this enormous telephone book style 500 page document. one senior source said to me there's going to be plenty of scope for mischief inside there. the decision for the cabinet is really about a balance of risks. i think it's fair to say

they're not going to like what they read and discussed tomorrow, but they have to make this judgement. if they have to make this judgement. if they say no, well, what if? does the government immediately accept that we're heading towards no deal, are they really willing to open that kind of pandora's box? do they think they're going to be able to go back to the eu and ask for more concessions or a better form to the eu and ask for more concessions or a betterform of d raft concessions or a betterform of draft agreement? or do they swallow their objections and go—ahead knowing, which many of them do believe, that there is a very real risk of this might not go through parliament? and, of course, if it doesn't go through parliament, the stability of the government and the job of the prime minister could very well be on the line. frankly, this is not a set of very tempting choices. it is not going to be an easy decision for the cabinet tomorrow, but theresa may and her allies hope very much that the complaints will be drowned out by the size of relief that they've got this far. —— sighs of relief.

many politicians in westminster have taken to twitter to give their reaction to today's developments. labour leaderjeremy corbyn tweeted: meanwhile, the snp leader nicola sturgeon said: the chair of the brexit select committee, the labour mp hilary benn, asked is: —— asks: don't know whether anybody answered that! and matt warman, a conservative mp, tweeted: at a people's vote rally

in westminster attended by thousands of people, the mpjojohnson, who's borisjohnson‘s brother who voted remain and resigned just last week from the government, said cabinet ministers were looking deep into their consciences about whether to support the draft text. i talked to many members of parliament, colleagues in the cabinet and elsewhere, and i'm not going to do then the disservice of naming them but i know how much they all think deeply about these issues and they're all looking deep into their consciences and thinking whether they can support this deal. what do you think will happen? well, look, it's always hard to predict. the full weight of the government pr spin machine is now going to kick into overdrive. the whips are going to tighten the thumbscrews on all our colleagues in

all parties. it's hard to predict. you have to have confidence in our system of representative democracy. ourmps are system of representative democracy. our mps are there to look after their constituents' interests in the final analysis and when i thought about my constituents in orpington, i had absolutely no doubt they were going to be well served by the terms of this deal. applause you feel, given the nature of your resignation, that your putting country before party? some people have suggested that. i think it's a false dichotomy. that's not a reasonable choice either. for the future of the conservative party, or any parties whose mps back this deal, the future of the conservative party will be gravely imperilled if we're associated with this... applause if we're held

responsible for taking the country into this absurd new relationship with the eu, where vast swathes of our economy will be governed by rules that we'll have had no hand at all in shaping. it's completely unsustainable and unacceptable for eight proud democracy such as ours. jojohnson. earlier, our chief political correspondent got reaction from the chairman of the conservative eurosceptic european research group, jacob rees—mogg. theresa may has said many things. she said brexit would mean brexit. she said brexit would mean brexit. she said brexit would mean brexit. she said no deal was better than a bad deal, and she said no prime minister would agree to separating northern ireland from the rest of the united kingdom. sometimes what she says and what she does do not match. so what do you think she should do now? you think no deal is the most likely option?|j should do now? you think no deal is the most likely option? i think she should stick to her promises and ma nifesto should stick to her promises and manifesto commitments in her various speeches, which we've heard this

agreement fails to do. trust in politics is important, it's important the prime minister is trusted by the country and if this document is accurate, it will be difficult to trust anything that comes out of downing street. some would say once the general election result meant she lost herman daugherty, it was a general election about brexit, that meant this was a lwa ys about brexit, that meant this was always going to be a much more difficult compromise than if she had a resounding victory? the prime minister said a few weeks ago, long after the election result, that she would not do anything that separated northern ireland from the rest of the uk. it's not since the election things have changed, it is very recently and post chequers that we found a complete change in the government approach and basically the white flags have gone up all over whitehall. it's rare for the chief whip julian smith to talk to the media, but this afternoon he chose to give his thoughts let's here what he said. i think there has been a great work by the team to focus on the best

dealfor britain, the best dealfor businesses, forjobs, for dealfor britain, the best dealfor businesses, for jobs, for families, to get the best possible deal. and i think they will look at that tomorrow night and we will see if we can get that through parliament and what the prime minister committed to, making sure that is in the best interests of companies, businesses, and families. in gram julian interests of companies, businesses, and families. in gramjulian smith. —— julian smith. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, miranda green, who's the deputy comment editor for the ft, and christopher hope, the chief political correspondent at the daily telegraph. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30pm. 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. the government remains optimistic

that the mps will approve the document. in california, a wildfire that has raged for five days is now officially the deadliest on record. around 100 people are still missing. 44 people are now known to have died a 50—year—old man has been charged with murder after a pregnant woman was killed with a crossbow in east london yesterday. ramanodge unmathallegadoo was arrested at the scene and appeared in court this afternoon. sana muhammad, who was 35 years old, and eight months pregnant, was attacked at her home in ilford. doctors managed to save her baby. our correspondent richard lister is at the scene. it was a very narrow escape of this baby boy, who was delivered safely by emergency caesarean section, though sadly his mother, sana muhammad, did not survive this attack. police were called yesterday morning to this house behind me, there they found her mortally injured, having been shot in the

stomach apparently by a crossbow. they rested eight—year—old man at the scene, ramanodge unmathallegadoo, of no fixed address. he appeared before magistrates today charged with her murder. he will make another appearance at the old bailey on thursday. police say they were known to each other. and, in fact, during her first to each other. and, in fact, during herfirst marriage, to each other. and, in fact, during her first marriage, sana to each other. and, in fact, during herfirst marriage, sana muhammad was known by the surname unmathallegadoo. her husband was at this house during the attack, as we re this house during the attack, as were their five children, three of whom were from her first marriage. the family is being cared for by relatives died. he is reported to have said he is heartbroken at the loss of his wife and police say their baby boy is in a stable condition in hospital —— relatives tonight. there's been a sharp rise in the number of exclusions from classrooms in england and research by the bbc has revealed that most of those are coming from schools in poorer areas. school exclusions have gone up by 43% in the past four years in england. nearly 50,000 pupils are now taught in alternative provision schools, which provide education for pupils

outside mainstream education. research by the bbc shows a 71% rise in temporary and fixed—term exclusions in the most deprived areas of england in the last four years — that's four times the rate in less 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. this is his extended report. learning objective in the usual box. the number of children excluded from deprived schools is soaring. many end up in places like this. get down off the desk. alternative provision. can you count how many times you were excluded? nah, lost track. 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. you're taking the urine! 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. list the 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 3 mix, so you'll have anything from 11 to 13. adam's training on the job to become a qualified teacher. and this is one of the school's most challenging classes. how behind are they? some are three or four years. four years behind? potentially. these pupils desperately need his help. they're distracted, on their phones, and arguing. just take 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? yeah, 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. 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 its 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. 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? 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 ten 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 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 my life around. that student might have left

us with three gcses, pretty poor grades, but we've helped turn their life around. that is success, and if we are not doing that, who else will do it? ed thomas for that special report. around 100 people are still missing in california after the worst wildfires in the state's history. 44 people are now known to have died, but that number is expected to rise. the fires have broken out across the state. more than 7,000 homes and other buildings have been destroyed. most of the people who died were in and around the town of paradise, which has largely been destroyed, as our correspondent dave lee reports. get back here. this is the inferno faced by one mother and son as they escaped the deadliest wildfire in californian history. we were out of that by 10:37am. with thousands of people behind me. how did it feel to know you were saved?

relieving, guilty, terrified for the people behind me, i know there was a lot of elderly in the community that probably wouldn't make it out. five days on, this is what's left of their home. the harrowing process of trying to find and identify bodies here has now begun. search teams think it could take many weeks. what will also take time is fully understanding what happened here, and why this fire was able to get so out of control. 500 miles south of where we are, fires are continuing to flare, like this one near lake sherwood. fire officials say gusty winds could easily kick—start more flames. the danger is far from over. if you're being held back, it's because your life and the lives of your family and neighbours are still potentially endanger. there are rare glimmers of good news. some of those who were ordered to evacuate in the south have been

able to return to their homes. there is no such prospect for the people of what was once paradise. dave lee, bbc news, in northern california. now it's time for the weather with louise lear. hello. it was a showery started to be weak. it has been quite a mild one. if anything temperatures are starting to build. you can get out and enjoy some of the late autumn colour that we are clinging on to, just like we had on tuesday in warwickshire. it will be warm, potentially some places could seek 15, 16, i7 potentially some places could seek 15,16,17 degrees potentially some places could seek 15, 16, 17 degrees over the next couple of days. it will be largely dry. that said, i will contradict myself, there is some rain around on wednesday, up to the far north—west, moving through northern ireland and scotland. it is moving through at quite a pace. gusty winds for a time as well, in excise —— in excess of

45 mph on the exposed north and west facing coast. rain ourfirst 45 mph on the exposed north and west facing coast. rain our first thing. that pushes through. sheltered eastern areas of scotland could see highs of 16 or 17 degrees. for england and wales it is a relatively straightforward story, dry with some sunshine and mild. weatherfronts will try to squeeze in from the atla ntic will try to squeeze in from the atlantic at the next couple of days, but this area of high pressure will be quite a play. we have that south—westerly flow still driving in the milder air. south—westerly flow still driving in the milderair. on south—westerly flow still driving in the milder air. on thursday it looks like england and wales will see the highest values, some areas could get 16 or 17 degrees. it could be a misty, murky start, the mist and fog could lead to some low cloud. if that happens the temperatures might struggle. if we get the suntan coming through, highest values of 17 degrees. a largely quiet story —— the suntan coming through. don't be too concerned about the area of low pressure out in the athletic. the higher aziz sitting across eastern europe is blocking those areas of

low pressure from pushing across the uk. -- the low pressure from pushing across the uk. —— the higher that is sitting. we are the dividing line between me too. on friday there could be mist and fog lifting too low cloud. not quite as warm on friday. no significant the rain in the forecast. the all—importa nt significant the rain in the forecast. the all—important we can forecast. the all—important we can forecast looks likely that high pressure in europe will dominate. a good deal of sunshine. the winds will change direction and we could see some chillier nights. some mist an early morning fog could be an issue. we could also see some frost. look at the wind direction, starting this bill in from the south—easterly. cold as it comes across the continent. temperatures more subdued, 10— 12 degrees. that is pretty much where they should be at this time of year. into the beginning of next week, the high pressure still with us, influencing the story. the isobars are squeezing together a little bit, more of a breeze coming from that easterly direction. on sunday, a good deal of

dry weather in the story, but it will just feel noticeably dry weather in the story, but it willjust feel noticeably cooler, particularly in comparison to what we have seen recently. highest values around 9— 12 degrees. later next week that area of high pressure might sit further zero and we could see an area of low pressure start to develop into the south—west —— sit further north. that could start to spark off more showers, a little bit more unsettled. the wind coming from the north—easterly source, so a little cooler. we will see 17 degrees over the next couple of days in some places, potentially, but as we move into next week we might actually see temperatures sitting at around eight as a daytime high. that is just slightly below the average for this time of year.
