this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00pm: the prime minister speaks of a crucial few days ahead, as she seeks to finalise her brexit deal, and says a change of leader would only bring uncertainty. these next seven days are going to be critical. they are about the future of this country. it's about people's jobs, it's about their livelihoods, it's about the future for their children and grandchildren. the former wales rugby captain gareth thomas speaks out after suffering a homophobic attack in cardiff. there's a lot of people out there who want to hurt us, but u nfortu nately for who want to hurt us, but unfortunately for them, there's a lot more that want to help us heal. so this i hope will be a positive message. president trump says he won't listen to a tape of the journalist jamal khashoggi's murder, because the contents are too terrible. and at 11:30pm we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers. stay with us for that. the prime minister has said the next

seven days are critical for the country, as she prepares to go to brussels to discuss britain's future relationship with the eu. theresa may defended the agreement reached for the uk's withdrawal from the eu, saying it was in the national interest, and she warned those seeking to have her removed that a change of leadership would not make brexit any easier. here is our chief political correspondent vicki young. it is a crucial seven days for the country, and theresa may's future. she is sticking to her brexit plan, hoping to persuade mps that it is the right

compromise — leaving the eu but protecting the economy. she will also head to brussels to personally lead last—minute negotiations. this isn't about me. it's actually about what's right for the people of this country. it's about what's in the national interest. that's what drives me, and that's what i'm being driven to deliver, that's what i want to deliver for people. the draft withdrawal agreement is a legally binding document laying out how the uk leaves the eu. it includes a transition period, the divorce bill, and plans for the northern ireland backstop to prevent border checks with northern ireland. there is also a much shorter political declaration containing a broad outline of our future relationship with the eu. it talks about a new free trade area which uk government hopes will be ready so is no need for that act stopped, and there are plans for closer security cooperation. the focus this week will be

on the future relationship, and when we were in the house of commons, a number of members of parliament were saying we want some more detail on that future relationship. that's what we're working on this week. the labour leader says his party won't back the deal you go back to europe and say, listen, our parliament does not agree with this and does not accept it, the people of this country don't. there are jobs on both sides of the channel at risk here. we need an agreement, a serious, sensible agreement, and i believe the labour options are the serious ones that could achieve that. some cabinet ministers and dozens of tory mps aren't happy, either. the former brexit secretary says the deal is not right to the country. i do think we are being bullied, i do think we are being subjected to what is pretty close to blackmail, frankly, for your viewers at home, and i think there is a point at which it should have been done before where we just say, i'm sorry, this

is the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. we cannot accept those dictated terms. two things could destabilise the primaries do this week. brexiteer cabinet members want reassurance the uk will not be trapped in a customs arrangement against its will. if they don't get that clarification and resign, it is hard to see how theresa may can carry on. the second threat comes from conservative mps trying to force a vote of no confidence her leadership. for that to happen, 48 mps need to write letters to this man, the chairman of the committee which represents tory mps. the rules are very clear that if the threshold were to be reached, i would have to consult with the leader of the party. immediately? i think the whole thing is written with the intention it should be expeditious process. theresa may's message to her rebellious mps is that getting rid of her won't make eu negotiations any easier, and won't change the parliamentary arithmetic. well, theresa may will try to reassure business leaders as she addresses the cbi

that the uk's biggest business organisation tomorrow. she'll tell them that she is confident that we can strike a deal at the council that i can take back to the house of commons. on immigration, she says that it will no longer be the case that eu nationals can jump the queue ahead of engineers from sydney or software developers from delhi. and goes on to say that this immigration policy will be fair, allowing us to attract the brightest and best from around the world. at the end of a tough week for the prime minister, our chief political correspondent vicki young says the focus now moves to working out the uk's future relationship with the eu. well, of course she has had a torrid time. i think the impression she is

trying to give is business as usual, getting out there, trying to sell her deal. tomorrow she will make a speech to the cbi, and i think we can expect to hear a lot more from the business community about them swinging behind her proposals. but the emphasis this week is all about that future relationship. that's what she is going to be focusing on. but she can't take her i off what's going on here, though. she will have much more engagement with her own mps. that's because there are many who feel that there might be getting close to that 48 letters which would trigger that no—confidence vote in her. now, ithink trigger that no—confidence vote in her. now, i think there are others, though, who feel that that is not the right approach. what they think is that the real threat will come when and if she puts that deal to the house of commons. it is very hard, still, to see whether numbers would come from, and there are many brexiteers who think that that is the moment. so for now, the ship has been steadied at the mutiny has not gone away. “—

been steadied at the mutiny has not gone away. —— at the mutiny has not gone away. —— at the mutiny has not gone away. after a gruelling few days for the prime minister, as politicians across parties — and across the uk — lined up to criticise her deal, what happens next in brussels? tomorrow, ministers from each of the other eu27 countries will meet to consider the draft political declaration on the uk's future relationship with the eu. later this week, theresa may is expected to meet the european commission president, jean—claude juncker. if all goes according to plan, there'll be a special brexit summit with eu leaders in brussels next sunday. and renegotitating the withdrawal agreement is not what the eu leaders expect to be doing at that summit. instead, they are looking to the future, as our europe editor katya adler explains. the prime minister is planning to come this week to brussels to discuss the second brexit document, that actually is still being

negotiated. that political declaration and outlined by the eu and the uk as to how they imagine their future relationship will be after brexit. now, of course, remember this is not anything like a final trade deal, but the prime minister needs it to look attractive enough economically and politically to help her cell that unpopular withdrawal agreement. she needs it to look convincing enough to persuade her critics that she will never need to enter into a customs union in order to protect the irish border. but do remember also that the withdrawal agreement is legally binding, whereas this political declaration is not. and as for the current political turmoil in the uk, the eu is resolutely ignoring it, ploughing along with its plans for that seal the deal brexit summit next sunday. the only thing that will put them off, save my eu sources, is if the prime minister loses herjob in the meantime, or if she suddenly backs away politically from this withdrawal agreement that she has been trying so hard to sell. the french president,

emmanuel macron, has called for closer ties between his country and germany, saying europe has the obligation not to let the world slip into chaos. mr macron joined the german chancellor, angela merkel, to mark the country's annual day of mourning in berlin for victims of war. in a speech, he warned europe must not become a plaything of great powers. emergency workers in california are still struggling to contain wildfires that have devastated large areas of the state over the last ten days. at least 76 people are now known to have died, thousands of homes have been destroyed, and the authorities say more than 1,200 people remain unaccounted for. president trump has visited the devastated town of paradise, in butte county, one of the worst—affected areas. our correspondent dan johnson is in nearby chico. everyone here has their own sad

story of homes and businesses that have been destroyed, friends and family missing or dead. there are big questions about how this fire started, how it spread so quickly, and how and if they can safely rebuilt. at the town of paradise and its people are still suffering, and ten days on, things keep getting worse. this is a ghost town that cannot lay it solves the rest. 50 worse. this is a ghost town that cannot lay it solves the rest. so we are on kent road now, this is where the brunt of the fire hit. and those sworn to protect life and property here must now assess what is gone. so we are going to go over to check ona so we are going to go over to check on a property where an 80—year—old woman lived. sergeant rob nicholls rarely recognises the streets he has patrolled for 18 years. all the normal landmarks that you are used to using argon. there is a new daily

he was killed last month at the saudi consulate in istanbul. mr trump said he had been "fully briefed" on an audio recording of the murder, provided by the turkish authorities, but he told fox news that he'd decided not to listen to it himself. we have the tape. i don't want to hear the tape, no reason for me to hear the tape. why don't you want to hear it, sir? because it is a suffering tape, it isa because it is a suffering tape, it is a terrible tape. but i've been fully briefed. there's no reason for me to hear it. in fact, i said to the people, "should i?" they said, "you really shouldn't, there's no reason". i know exactly, i know everything that went on in the tape without having to hear it. and what happened? it was very violent, very vicious and terrible. nine migrants from iran have been found clambering over rocks near folkestone in kent, after crossing from france in a small boat. 57 migrants have been discovered in the area over the past week, having crossed the channel.

there are warnings that it's only a matter of time now before somebody dies. simonjones reports. the sixth boat to be found this week. coastguard and border force officials bring its motor back to shore. migrants once again risking their lives crossing the busiest shipping lane in the world to get to britain. the people on board the boat called the police just before seven o'clock this morning saying they were in difficulty but they didn't know exactly where they were. a huge search was launched, but around 45 minutes later, the migrants were discovered clambering up the rocks here towards the shore. the fact is that the, you know, the desperate people clinging to rocks in folkestone are desperate and they are vulnerable to international criminal gangs, who will tell them anything to take their money off them. on tuesday, 17 migrants sailed into dover on a fishing boat, the one with the green hull, stolen from bologna. —— boulogne. the next day, three separate boats carrying a total of 24 migrants were found.

several more people were discovered on friday. it's thought some may be making a last attempt to get across before winter arrives. i think it's got to be controlled. it's got to be planned, whoever‘s sending them across and all. and the timing, to me, is this about brexit? is it that they think we're going to shut the door? and it's a big rush now to get into the country and all? the home office says it has stepped up patrols along the coast, but the reality is that did nothing to deter the nine people from iran who arrived here this morning. they have now been handed over to immigration officials. they are unlikely to be the last. a criminal investigation is under way, but experts are warning that it's only a matter of time before someone loses their life. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers peter conradi, who's the europe editor for the sunday times, and also the business journalist, john crowley. coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes.

i suppose our headline is that the weather is turning much colder. this week is the week where winter makes a comeback, and it is going to get much colder over the next few days. with skies like this to end the day in northern scotland, temperatures are plummeting pretty quickly. temperatures have already got to —4 in both a mind also inverness. a few patches of fog around. —— braemar. a combination of cloud and the wind stopping the frost from most areas but will still be quite cold start to the day on monday morning and the obvious difference between what we have had on the weekend and my‘s weather is the amount of carbon will have in the sky. during the afternoon, cloud thicken further and it will start the season showers moving over. a couple of streams, one of those could well be moving into parts of kent and also essex. another one targets northampton and

also lincs. showers will get more scattered in nature, it will be quite unlikely to catch a shower across north—east england and also scotland. —— lincolnshire. singledigit temperatures and it gets much colder than that on tuesday, probably the coldest day of the week ahead with a really bitter north—easterly winds dragging in all that crowd. again, plenty of shower activity across northern england and eastern wales. winds are going to fuel bitter, gus is around 50 miles an houraround fuel bitter, gus is around 50 miles an hour around north sea coasts and that will really knocked the edge of temperatures, not that there is much about those temperatures to brag about. factoring in winds, it will feel close to freezing. they could be some wintriness in some of these showers. tuesday night, the potential for hill snow across the high ground in wales and the moors of north england. the atlantic cannot bring its warming air to us

because the winds are coming from the other way. looking at east or south—easterly winds, tending to push the biggest crowd further northwards across northern england, northern ireland and scotland. we will start to see showers and outbreaks of rain. notice flecks of white, we are still talking about the potential for some white, we are still talking about the potentialfor some hill white, we are still talking about the potential for some hill snow. the north is probably becoming a bit dry and bright but another chilly one. temperatures for most ranging between six and eight celsius. from thursday and into friday, slow recovery from temperatures but yeah, it is going to be a bit of a shock to the system. tuesday and wednesday at cold days. that is your latest weather. —— are cold days. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: theresa may fights back, saying replacing her as conservative leader wouldn't make the brexit negotiations any easier, and warning of a crucial week ahead. these next seven days are going to be critical.

they are about the future of this country. it's about people's jobs, it's about their livelihoods, it's about the future for their children and grandchildren. emergency workers in california are still struggling to contain wildfires that have killed 76 people. the former wales and lions rugby captain gareth thomas speaks out after suffering a homophobic attack in cardiff. president trump says he won't listen to a tape of the journalist jamal khashoggi's murder, because the contents are too terrible. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are peter conradi, who is the europe editor for the sunday times,

and the business journalistjohn crowley. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro leads with theresa may's insistence that she will be staying put in number 10 despite the divisions within her party over the brexit deal. the daily express says the prime minister will go on the offensive tomorrow by insisting her brexit deal witll return border controls to britain. the telegraph details the former foreign secretary borisjohnson's plan to save brexit, and claims theresa may will not renegotiate the eu withdrawal agreement. the daily mail says the backgrounds of thousands of foreign doctors are to be checked, after a woman with no qualifications was allowed to work as an nhs psychiatrist for over 20 years. the times quotes the former tory chief whip andrew mitchell, who warns mps against hunting down theresa may for the party leadership. the sun details an incident

which resulted in five soldiers from the queen's guard being arrested after a drunken brawl in windsor. the guardian says the prime minister will seize back control of her party from rebel mps with a speech to business leaders promoting her brexit deal. and the ft details how the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, has proposed extending britain's transition out of the bloc until as late as december 2022. those are the front pages. let's have a little chat. we are going to start off with the daily telegraph. theresa may warns cabinet rebels her

deal is final, peter. yes, so the telegraph and the other papers today are telegraph and the other papers today a re really telegraph and the other papers today are really about theresa may's fightback. so she has got the big speech to the cbi tomorrow, and she is basically... the thrust of the story is she will tell the five who are plotting against her that as the telegraph puts it, the terms of the eu's divorce from the uk have been agreed in full and the only thing to discuss as a future trade deal. in other words, here is the deal, you can't
