jadon sancho — why has one of england's hottest football talents had to go to germany to make his name? and coming up in sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, one last push for scotland. there's still everything to play for in the nations league. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister is pushing on with her brexit plan at the start of what is one of the most crucial weeks in her premiership. this morning, theresa may addressed business leaders as she tried to win their backing for the deal. she told them there was no room for negotiation on the terms of the draft withdrawal agreement with the eu. but it comes against a backdrop of turbulence and dissent with some tory mps pressing for changes to be made.

and threats of a leadership challenge remain. with more, here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. her report contains flash photography. lights, camera, maybe not much action. fears about theresa may's deal are still the talk of westminster‘s town, but she is ploughing on. please join me in giving the prime minister big cbi welcomed. taking her deal, her pitch to the platform. it was never going to the platform. it was never going to be easy or straightforward. the final stage was always going to be the toughest. but we have in view a deal that will work for the uk. and let no one be in any doubt — i am determined to deliver it. was that applause or relief? business clearly comforted that the government has reached a compromise with brussels on how we leave the eu. you have

done an incredible job. on how we leave the eu. you have done an incrediblejob. let'sjust get over the final line. but not eve ryo ne get over the final line. but not everyone has agreed. there are deep worries here and with mps that she has signed up to two closer relationship with the european union. can i ask you to think again about the economics of the whole thing, rather than listening to the petitions of the cbi, which is really the confederation of european industry? i think the portrayalthat you have given of what has been agreed is a little inaccurate in its position. why should our viewers and listeners believe you but you have struck the right deal, when so many of your collea g u es right deal, when so many of your colleagues believe it is an intolerable compromise and some of them hate it so much that they are trying to force you out along with the deal? don'tjust listen to politicians, listen to what business is saying. listen to what business thatis is saying. listen to what business that is providing yourjobs and ensuring that you have that income

that puts food on the table for your family is saying. but that's a more co mforta ble family is saying. but that's a more comfortable audience than her own neighbourhood, where some mps want her offstage. you can't put this off because it is inconvenient or emotionally difficult for us to wrestle with loyalty. it's time to stop the time is long past where we should be sitting on our hands. brexiteers can complain and carp. there are genuine concerns. but they need 48 tory mps to sign letters to push a vote of no—confidence in the prime minister. and either parliament's prime minister. and either pa rliament‘s postman prime minister. and either parliament's postman has gone on strike, or not enough of them are brave enough, at least not yet. a brexiteer coup might not have arrived, but there is no chance labour is coming to the prime minister's rescue. labour has always said that we respect the results of the referendum. but we cannot respect the shambolic way in which this government has bungled this vital negotiations. but guess what?

you might see pictures like this for longer than you think. the eu wants eve ryo ne longer than you think. the eu wants everyone to keep calm, very,, but suggests there could be close ties ina suggests there could be close ties in a transition period until the end of 2022. this deal is fair and balanced. now more than ever, we must all remain calm and we will remain calm and keep our focus on the need for the uk to leave the eu in an orderly fashion. inside number ten, the plan is to settle the terms of our relationship with the eu by sunday. but it's notjust up to those in the inner sanctum. theresa may mightjust those in the inner sanctum. theresa may might just want those in the inner sanctum. theresa may mightjust want to hunker down. but there are still brexiteers of the gates. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. well, business leaders at the cbi largely welcomed the prime minister's plans, although some have criticised her plans for immigration after brexit — as our business editor simonjack reports.

rex london sells over £6 million worth of gifts to eu customers every year, which is why company directors' main worry is leaving the single market without a deal, something they continue to plan for. we certainly have to think about the worst. we won't stop thinking about that until a deal is confirmed. really, all we need is everyone to get around and hammer out a deal, one way or the other. the worst thing that can happen is that no one agrees and we crash out of the eu with no deal at all in a few months' time. big business largely agrees. across town at the cbi's annual conference, delegates gave the prime minister's deal a reasonably warm welcome. i think the choice in front of us as business people is that we have a deal on the table and we're being asked, can we support it? can we invest as a result of it? can we use this deal to plan for the future and make britain a success? i think we can, and that is why i support it. of course, businesses, however big, cannot vote. but mps can, which is why the president of the cbi, john allan, urged them to consult

with the businesses and firms in their constituencies before making up their mind how to vote when this deal gets to the commons. the prime minister proudly told the audience she would put an end to freedom of movement once and for all and would make it harder to hire anyone from abroad making less than £30,000. if she thought that would go down well, she came to the wrong conference. we have a real difference with government on immigration. they may be listening to business, but they're not hearing. it is reasonable to want to control immigration. businesses understand that, but the idea of doing it in this way, which closes down access to workers where our construction businesses need them, our health care providers need them, will do real damage to our economy. business secretary greg clark said the government had heard those concerns. when we set out the proposals in the white paper to come, we need to make sure we can allow public services and businesses

to continue to count on that labour in the future. but it'll be our choice. back in west london, they are not taking any choices. this firm has already opened warehouses in the eu and their contingency planning continues. not all businesses support mrs may's deal. a few would like the clean break of no deal. others want a second referendum. all agree this deal is a long way from being delivered, with just 19 weeks till the date we leave. simon jack, bbc news. in a moment, we'll get the latest from laura kuenssberg in westminster, but first our europe editor katya adler is in brussels. the prime minister is heading to brussels later this week. how much support is there across the eu for this deal? well, sophie, there is broad support despite what is going on politically in the uk. the eu, because the cabinet last week approved the draft text of the withdrawal agreement, is ploughing ahead with plans for a special seal the deal brexit summit in brussels on sunday. and the eu's chief brexit

negotiator michel barnier was in step with the prime minister today. he echoed that successful slogan of the leave campaign about taking back control by saying today, this brexit deal will allow the uk to take back control. he predicted or so that after brexit, there would be a special economic and strategic partnership between the uk and the eu. but, sophie, there are storm clouds in the eu as well over the text of this brexit deal, although they are not as menacing as in the uk. for example, spain today complained that the text of the withdrawal agreement doesn't make it legally clear that eu — uk negotiations do not automatically apply to gibraltar. it is unlikely to try and veto the text, but it is looking for written clarification, whereas when it comes to the ambitious future declaration of the partnership after brexit between the eu and the uk, eu powerhouses france and germany are insisting that the text makes it perfectly clear for

the uk that once it is outside the single market, the advantages can't be the same as good on the inside. and laura kuenssberg, the prime minister is pushing on with her plan but what about this threat is to her leadership? how are they looking? the threats are still there. there is no way downing street can just ignore it, wave a magic wand and wait for them all to go away. but in terms of whether or not brexiteers who want to force her out have reached their magic number 48 that would be required to force a contest, they are still waiting, counting hypothetically, who says they have submitted a letter and are they have submitted a letter and are they telling the truth? the longer we wait, the longer it seems like they might be crying wolf. the view in the heart of government is that the important thing to do is to ignore the noise, to push on. theresa may can never have thought that her compromise deal with the european union would be popular. the question will come in a few weeks' time as to whether enough mps are

willing to hold their nose. but things are not about to change for theresa may, even if the threat of a sudden vote to force a leadership contest sudden vote to force a leadership co ntest goes sudden vote to force a leadership contest goes away. since the general election, she has almost had to fight through every single day. and thatis fight through every single day. and that is not going to change. laura in westminster and katya in brussels, thank you both. one of the world's most powerful businessmen — the head of nissan and renault — has been arrested injapan over claims of financial misconduct. carlos ghosn has been accused of "significant acts of misconduct" involving his pay and the personal use of company assets. he's expected to be sacked later this week. from tokyo, rupert wingfield hayes reports. it has been slow. for 20 years, carlos ghosn has been one of the titans of the car industry, charming everyone from journalists to presidents and dominating two of the biggest car companies in the world. but tonight, mr ghosn

is in police custody in tokyo, accused of serious financial misdeeds. at nissan's headquarters, the chief executive made the dramatic announcement. an investigation had found that in annual reports to the tokyo stock exchange, mr ghosn had hugely underreported his pay. translation: for us, the company, this is of course completely unacceptable. we have been advised by experts that this misconduct is serious enough to dismiss him. carlos ghosn now looks certain to be sacked from hisjob as nissan chairman. the news has sent shock waves around the world, especially to france, where mr ghosn is also ceo of renault, and to sunderland, where nissan runs one of the biggest car plants in europe. carlos ghosn will have signed off on that decision to produce the next generation qashqai there in 2020. nissan said they will review that depending on the form of brexit.

so if somebody new comes in, there is the possibility that that decision might be reversed. it has been a day of high drama here in tokyo. but it's important to note that carlos ghosn is not being accused of tax evasion. he is accused of misreporting financial data to the tokyo stock exchange. that's something that other bosses of other japanese corporations have been found doing, and have not ended up in police custody. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, tokyo. the former england and tottenham footballer paul gasgoigne has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman on a train from york to durham. he was arrested at durham station in august. the 51—year—old is due to appear before magistrates next month. the parole board has decided that the serial sex offender, john worboys, should stay in prison. worboys — a black cab driver — was jailed in 2009 for assaults on 12 women in london. injanuary, the board said he would be freed after serving 10 years, but it provoked a public outcry and was overturned by the high court. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is here. it certainly did provoke a public

outcry. reminders of the bagram? john worboys was convicted almost ten yea rs john worboys was convicted almost ten years ago of drugging, sexy assaulting and raping a number of women that he picked up in his black cab. thejudge women that he picked up in his black cab. the judge said women that he picked up in his black cab. thejudge said he women that he picked up in his black cab. the judge said he should women that he picked up in his black cab. thejudge said he should have an indefinite sentence and should serve a an indefinite sentence and should servea minimum an indefinite sentence and should serve a minimum of eight years in prison. but in march this year the pa role prison. but in march this year the parole board said it was all right for him to be released. that caused an outcry among some of the women he had assaulted, and some of them took the parole board to court and successfully had the case overturned. so last month, the pa role overturned. so last month, the parole board considered the case again, looking at a big dossier of 1255 pages, looking at personal state m e nts 1255 pages, looking at personal statements from several of his victims, and they decided that he shouldn't be released despite the fact that he had made some positive progress in prison. the reasons they gave for him not being released were the risks, which were his sexual preoccupation, a sense of sexual entitlement and the belief that rape is acceptable. the parole board now

will not look at his case for another two years. one of his victims who bought the case said this evening, we knew this man was a danger. we felt compelled to take action. thank goodness we did. the police are now also looking at a number of fresh complaint against john worboys. daniel sandford, thank you. our top story this evening. the prime minister urges business leaders to back her brexit plan at the start of a critical week for the government. coming up, two of england's most exciting young footballers shining at clubs in germany. coming up, on sporrtsday in 15 minutes, a blow for arsenal and england asjordan nobbs is out for the rest of the season. she could miss next summer's world cup. the era of austerity is coming to an end — that's what the government says it wants to achieve. but after eight years of cuts to public services, what impact is it having on our towns and cities? in the coming months,

we'll be looking at the effect of austerity on hartlepool, one of the poorest places in england. tonight we start with the cuts on the police there. this report by our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, contains some flashing images. all right! what am i getting arrested for? you're getting arrested to prevent a breach of the peace. what starts as a minor incident... shouting ..can quickly escalate. a suspicion of domestic violence leads to two arrests. four officers are needed. 40% of the night shift. it's a good job that we had the other unit there. we would have been strapped. so now they are both going to middlesbrough police station, where they will spend the night until she has sobered up and he will get interviewed about the obstruct police.

the prisoners have to go to middlesbrough, 15 miles away, as the custody suite in hartlepool is currently closed. this is what budget cuts look like. expensive equipment lying idle. there is no one to use it. kevin showed us around earlier. two or three years ago it wouldn't have been strange for these cells to be full on a friday and saturday night. since 2010, the budget for cleveland police has fallen by more than a third in real terms. more than a quarter of staff have been cut, almost 500 officers. every time we lock someone up they've got to go to middlesbrough, which is like 25 minutes. a prisoner taken from hartlepool to middlesbrough, that's two cops out of hartlepool, you know. so, it's leaving us short. and the thinning blue line is dealing with more incidents. crime rates are up, particularly violence. i've just had a 999 call to say a man has been stabbed in the neck. he has a puncture wound. typical of any night in hartlepool. with officers overwhelmed by numerous incidents,

this is now the face of proactive policing in hartlepool. we just want to try to make our area safer. the police don't come out. it is sam, and these three men are conducting a night—time patrol of their area. it's a deterrent. we want the people coming around our area nicking things to know that there is people walking the streets actively looking for them. a spate of robberies and car crime, which they say police haven't reacted to, has led them to this. we don't want to be here. we have to be here. we're all full—time working and we are giving a few hours up through the night just to protect what is ours. and for everyone else — we are protecting everyone's else's. we're not the police. we're not security. we can just only log what we see. but basically we are doing theirjob. while these men merely try to deter criminals, others have taken the law into their own hands. paul found thieves had broken into his van and he called the police.

we expected somebody to come out and visit us, particularly when we said we had cctv. but that didn't happen. for nearly two weeks the gas engineer chased and harried officers. it is a low—grade crime to them. to me it £1500 worth of tools. disheartened or determined, he decided to solve the crime himself, with the aid of a local hard man. we basically know a few people who know a few people. phone calls were made. the tools, or three—quarters of those tools, appeared. ministers say they will examine police funding next year and that forces can ask council taxpayers for more money. the local police and crime commissioner says, in one of england's poorest towns, residents have little to give. what do you think you have lost? cops, that's what we have lost. and we're doing the best with what we have got. we are back with kevin. a 999 call to a mental

health patient he also saw the night before. get in the van. i've done nothing wrong. get in the van. the plan is to take him to the psychiatric unit in middlesbrough. the one in hartlepool is closed. bleep. stop banging your head against the door. but the man has been drinking and allegedly harassing a woman. so he is arrested. stop banging your head against the door. we head once more to middlesbrough. i've done nothing wrong! as we leave town kevin receives a message. the entire night shift, all ten officers, are now dealing with incidents. on this saturday night there is not a single police officer left in hartlepool to respond to another emergency. michael buchanan, bbc news, hartlepool. around 3,000 foreign doctors in the uk are being checked urgently after it emerged that a woman had practised psychiatry for 22 years

without any qualifications. zholia alemi — from new zealand — falsely claimed to have a medical degree from auckland university when she registered in the uk in the 1995. but she had actually dropped out of medical school in her first year. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt visited iran today, where he warned there would be consequences if they continued to use nazarin zaghari—radcliffe as a tool for diplomatic leverage with britain and the west. mrs zaghari—radcliffe was arrested in 2016 and jailed for five years after being found guilty of spying. iran says it is a legal issue but is offering humanitarian support. a labour mp — fiona onasanya — has told a court the presures of being newly elected and health issues may explain why she didn't correctly return a form notifying her of a speeding penalty. a court has heard the form stated a russian man, who had previously rented a property from the mp, was behind the wheel — when in fact he was in russia at the time of the offence.

fiona onasanya, a solicitor, denies perverting the course ofjustice. the trial continues. south western railways say delays and cancellations are expected to continue until the end of the day, after over—running engineering work caused chaos on one of the busiest routes into london this morning. network rail and south western railway have apologised for the disruption. northern rail passengers also suffered long delays due to too many leaves on the line — which rail operators say can damage the wheels. here's our transport correspondent tom burridge. we didn't know there was a queue. not the way monday morning is supposed to start. a queue, just to get onto the platform. i've been here nearly an hour. i can't move. so i'm just deciding whether to abandon ship and catch a bus, or go home, work from home. trying to get to southampton. i got here about half an hour ago. and he is saying there are no trains on the tracks. nothing. what is your plan? i don't have one.

very few trains on one of the busiest lines into london and throughout rush hour. tens of thousands faced long delays. joanna gave up and returned home. i've just been told that there is not any more trains going to guildford, so it's unlikely i will be able to make it to work today. so you have wasted how many hours? erm, the whole morning, pretty much. so yeah, pretty frustrating. at lunchtime, long journeys into waterloo onlyjust coming to an end. the cause, overnight engineering work which overran because of a section of damaged track. the challenge is to upgrade oi’ renew ancient infrastructure with minimal disruption. but with so much of our rail network operating near to or at capacity, when things go wrong, the knock—on effect is too often huge. if you look out onto the track, a quarter of a millionjourneys almost a year out there.

that's an enormous amount of pressure on an ageing piece of infrastructure that frankly was never designed with those numbers in mind. passengers also faced delays today in the north of england because of leaves on the line. and the disruption from this morning on south western is dragging into tonight. network rail admits the servers across the country hasn't been good enough. he has become one of the hottest new talents in european football. 18—year—old jadon sancho, who grew up in london, helped england's late comeback against croatia at wembley last night in the uefa nations league. but despite being one of england's most promising talents, he's turned his back on premier league clubs and is instead playing for a club in germany. and he's not the only young up and coming teenager to do so. our sports correspondent david ornstein has been finding out why. they're two of england's most exciting young footballers, but instead of lighting up the premier league, jadon sancho and reiss nelson are shining in germany. a new life, a new opportunity, and we when met at a cafe in dortmund, sancho told me

he is delighted with his move. everyone has different journeys, you know. it's not easy leaving family behind. it's really hard, but i felt like coming to germany and expressing myself is the best thing i've ever done. it's here at borussia dortmund, one of europe's elite clubs, that jadon sancho felt his development was best served. for years, the world's leading prospects joined teams like these to make their name, and with opportunities increasingly limited back home, now up—and—coming british players are doing the same. and it's paying off. i thought i might as well have a little dig, and then luckily, with the slip as well, it guided it in that direction. commentator: oh, my word! rhys nelsonjoined hoffenheim on loan from arsenal, and like his childhood friend sancho, he's flourishing in his new environment. we are kind of setting a trend for the young boys to come over. i know a lot of the top players in england as well and they are always saying,

"how is life in germany?" and i'm saying it's great, and they believe in young players. that's the main thing. having impressed on his full england debut in a friendly last week, yesterday sancho made his first competitive international appearance, coming off the bench to help his country stage a late fightback and beat croatia. hopefully, i've opened a lot of people's eyes. if you feel you're ready, then i think you should take a shot at it, you know. just try something different. if england's clubs are not giving you a chance, then abroad is always an option and they're always open to seeing your ability. hopefully if you're good enough, you'll get your chance. the example has been set and perhaps others will now follow, but might the ultimate winner be english football? david ornstein, bbc news, germany. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. so many people talking about how

cold it has been today. yes, we will see a cold wind and showers, and some of could turn wintry over high ground. the wind coming from the east at this time of year, and winds from the east will never be warm. we will have that chilly air over the next couple of days, further showers to come across central and eastern areas tonight, most falling as rain but if you're on the highest ground that could be some sleet and snow starting to mix in. quite windy night with's holding up at around 5 degrees, with a touch of frost in western scotland and the far south—west of england. tomorrow, keeping that feed showers, as in the nature rush hours, some will see quite a few, other places will dodge most of them. again, any heavier ones, we could see some sleet and snow. the wind, certainly noticeable are certainly brisk, andy temperatures on the thermometer

ranging between five and 8 degrees, not too impressive of itself but with the wind, it will feel like freezing in norwich, 1 degrees in london, leading into a chilly night and an even greater chance during tuesday night that some of the wet weather across northern england, the welsh hills, parts of scotland could get a covering. during wednesday most of this rain slides is way northwards, so further south, something drier and brighter, not especially warm. temperatures only slowly recovering as we head towards the end of the week. still a little bit of rain around at times but between now and then, in a word, it is cold. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me hello, this is bbc news.

the headlines: the prime minister brings her brexit message to business leaders, telling the cbi that her plan is in the national interest and thatjobs and livelihoods depended on securing the right brexit deal for britain. it was never going to be easy or straightforward. and the final stage was always going to be the toughest. but we have in view a deal that will work for the uk. but business leaders warn of the impact on the economy if the uk crashed out of the eu with no deal. westminster of the eu with no deal. seems to be living in its westminster seems to be living in its own, narrow world. it seems to be playing at
