this is bbc news. i'm sean ley. the headlines at 11pm: the prime minister takes her message to business leaders, telling the cbi thatjobs and livelihoods depend on securing the right deal for britain. 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. but a visit from prominent brexit supporters to downing street was a reminder that mrs may is still facing tough opposition to the plan she's promoting. also coming up: carlos ghosn, one of the world's most prominent businessmen, and a key figure in the motor industry, has been arrested on suspicion of financial misconduct. mr ghosn is expected to be sacked from the japanese firm over accusations that he under—reported his pay. in yemen's civil war, improved prospects of an end to fighting as the uk urges the united nations to call for a ceasefire. and at 11:30pm, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, laura hughes, political correspondent at the ft, and former fleet street editor eve pollard.

stay with us for that. hello. good evening. the prime minister has taken her brexit plans to the business community at the start of what she's described as a critical week for the brexit process. in a speech to the cbi, mrs may said british jobs and livelihoods depended on securing the right kind of brexit deal. some conservative mps are still demanding that the deal be renegotiated, and there's still speculation about a possible vote of no confidence in theresa may's leadership. political editor laura kuenssberg has the latest. her report contains flashing images. lights, camera, maybe not much action. that treaty, the details, protocols... fears about theresa may's deal are still the talk of westminster‘s town but she's ploughing on.

pleasejoin me in giving the prime minister a big cbi welcome. applause taking her deal, her pitch, today to the platform. 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, do not 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. i think you've done an incredible job, and let'sjust get over the final line. not everyone‘s agreed the script, though. there are deep worries here, and with mps, that she's signed up to too close a 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 portrayal that you have given of what has been agreed is a little inaccurate in its position. why should our viewers and listeners believe you that you have struck the right deal when so many of your own colleagues believe it is an intolerable compromise, and some of them hate it so much they are trying to force you out, along with the deal? don't just listen to the politicians. listen to what business is saying. listen to what business that is providing yourjobs and ensuring you have that income that puts food on the table for your family is saying. that's a more comfortable audience than her own neighbourhood, where some mps want her off the stage. we can't put this off because it's inconvenient or emotionally difficult for us to wrestle with loyalty. it's time, and really 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 pa rliament‘s postman has gone on strike or not enough of them are brave enough, at least not yet. a brexiteer coup might not yet have arrived, but there's 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 these vital negotiations. but, guess what? you might see pictures like this for longer than you think. the eu wants everyone to keep calm, very calm, but 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 i would remain calm

and keep our focus on the need for the uk to leave the eu in an orderly fashion. inside number ten, the plans to settle the broad terms of our relationship with the eu by sunday. but it's notjust up to those in the inner sanctum. theresa may still has to take representations from eurosceptics. reporter: anything to say, sir? we're 0k. there are still brexiteers at the gates. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. business leaders at the cbi largely welcomed the prime minister's plans, although some are concerned about proposed changes to immigration policy after brexit. business editor simon jack has more details. rex london sells over £6 million worth of gifts to eu customers every year, which is why the company director's 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 another. because the worst thing that can happen is 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 has been that we have a deal on the table and we are being asked, can we support it? can we invest as a result of this? are we able to plan 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 allen, 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 had 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, business understands that, but the idea of doing it in this way, which closes down access to workers where construction businesses need them, where health care providers need them, would do real damage to our economy. business secretary greg clark said the government had heard those concerns. what we need to do when we have set out the proposals in a white paper to come, is to make sure that we can allow public services and businesses to continue to count on that labour in the future. it will be our choice. back in west london, they are not taking any chances. this firm has already opened warehouses in the eu and their contingency planning continues.

not all businesses support mrs may's deal. some would like the clean break of no deal, others want a second referendum. all agree that this deal is a long way from being delivered, with just 19 weeks to the day we leave. simon jack, bbc news. political editor laura kuenssberg said the prime minister's brexit plans are still struggling to gain traction with her mps and allies, and that after the dup failed to back her in commons votes on the budget, her position is also still precarious. just as one potential threat seems to be fading, real one was acted on. there is tonight no sign of those 48 was mentors the women of the apocalypse, those tory brexiteers coming to try to take theresa may away. but her friends and partners in government, the dup, that small northern ireland is unionist party abstaining on the finance golden knights. what does that mean in normal parlance? well, when push came to shove, that band of northern ireland unionists did not vote with the government on a vital piece of

legislation, the budget. that throws into question the support they promised, the deal they did with theresa may to back her on brexit and to back her on the budget. now, on both sides, sources are saying tonight it doesn't mean the end of their partnership, it doesn't mean they can never work together again, but it is an explicit warning from the dup that they are not to be messed with when it comes to the brexit process. a real signal that they are not kidding around when they are not kidding around when they suggest that they may well not vote with the government when it comes to that all—important historic vote on the brexit deal in two or three weeks' time. and in these critical days, it tells us with no majority of her own, theresa may right now can't rely on those people who are meant to be, after all, her political friends, let alone who are meant to be, after all, her politicalfriends, let alone her enemies. laura kuenssberg at westminster.

katya adler has been speaking to katty kay. the european commission is pushing ahead for a special seal the deal brexit summit in brussels on sunday. michel barnier today was very much in step with the prime minister, doing a hard sell on the brexit deal, helping her market it at home. promising it would help the uk take back control and an ambitious economic and strategic relationship in the future between the uk and the eu. but storm clouds are gathering over the text of the brexit deal in the eu too, but they're not quite as menacing as in the uk. suddenly we heard from spain today. it wants written guarantees that eu uk... up until now there had been parallel

bilateral talks going on between spain and the uk over gibraltar, and france is demanding fishing rights in uk waters make up part of a future free trade deal. this is a clear exa m ple of future free trade deal. this is a clear example of how domestic uk politics can mess in the brexit process. you've got the spanish prime minister and the french president not looking very good in the polls at home, and here they are pressing national in issues of concern. the insider gossip here is michel barnier and germany are not at all impressed. they don't want to reopen the text of the brexit withdrawal agreement for anyone, and they're also warning that making conditions any harder on the uk at this point will make it that much tougherfor this point will make it that much tougher for theresa may to get the deal through the house of commons. katya adler talking from brussels. 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. 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. carlose ghosn, one of the world's most prominent businessmen and the chairman of nissan, has been arrested in japan on suspicion of financial misconduct. he is alleged to have underreported his salary by £35 million overfive years. he's expected to be sacked later this week. mr ghosn is also head of an industry alliance between nissan, renault and mitsubishi. rupert wingfield—hayes‘ report contains some flashing images. for 20 years, carlos ghosn has been one of the titans of the car industry, charming everyone from journalists to presidents. but tonight, he is in police custody, accused of serious

financial misdeeds. at nissan's headquarters, chief executive hiroto saikawa made the dramatic announcement. the company found mr ghosn had hugely underreported his pay in nissan's annual report to the tokyo stock exchange. translation: for us, the company, this is of course completely unacceptable, and we've been advised by experts that this misconduct is serious enough to dismiss him. the news has sent shock waves through the car industry, especially in france, where mr ghosn is also boss of renault. it seems to have come out of nowhere. you know, the accusations are crazy, and as an industry, we're incredibly shocked that someone is so well respected. he turned around nissan in the early 20005 from near bankruptcy. and he could have potentially done something like this. it has been a day of high drama here in tokyo,

but it is important to note that carlos ghosn is not being accused of tax evasion. he's accused of misreporting financial data to the tokyo stock exchange. that's something that other bosses of japanese corporations have been found doing, and have not ended up in police custody. whether he is formally charged or not, mr ghosn will now be sacked by the company he helped rescue from the brink of bankruptcy. it is an astonishing fall from grace for a man once known here injapan as mr fixit. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. that was a report from rupert wingfield—hayes. let's bring you breaking news, shooting in chicago this evening. if we look at the scene outside the hospital in chicago. police say that a gunman has opened fire outside. a police

spokesman said there were reports of multiple victims. he added that at least one possible offender had been shot. reports in local media say a police office has also been shot. the unidentified man was near at the time of the shooting, this is from an unnamed witness, who says he was coming out of the hospital from the clinic area, and he saw a coming out of the hospital from the clinic area, and he sawa man coming out of the hospital from the clinic area, and he saw a man with a black coat, african—american man with a black coat and hat, shooting a lady three times, then he stood above her, shot her three more times. he says he saw a police car coming in and he started, the suspect, started shooting at the squad car. police backed out. then he came out of the hospital and started shooting people on the street. that is an eyewitness report. he has been speaking to the bbc. that is the scene outside the hospital in downtown chicago, it looks like downtown chicago, where a shooting is reported to have taken

place certainly within the last hour oi’ place certainly within the last hour or $0. place certainly within the last hour or so. this has been reported by broadcasters including reuters newsagency — that a shooting has been taking place with multiple injuries inside and outside chicago hospital. we will bring you more as we get it. the headlines on bbc news: the prime minister takes her brexit message to business leaders at the start of a critical week for the brexit process, saying jobs and livelihoods depend on securing the right brexit deal. the chairman of nissan, carlos ghosn, has been arrested for alleged financial misconduct over accusations that he under—reported his earnings. in yemen's civil war, improved prospects of an end to fighting, as the uk urges the united nations to call for a ceasefire. efforts to end the war in yemen progressed today, with both the government and rebels edging closer to peace talks and the uk circulating a draft resolution at the united nations

calling for a ceasefire. fighting has ravaged the country since 2015, as a government coalition, led by the saudis and supported by the uk, us and france, has clashed with houthi rebels, backed by iran. international pressure has been mounting on both sides to end the conflict, which has pushed the country to the verge of starvation. in recent weeks, the fighting has focused on the port city of hudaydah. 0ur correspondent nawal al—maghafi's report from yemen contains distressing images. enjoying a brief moment of normality in this long war. children and families gathered together to celebrate a pause in the fighting. they pray it continues, but no—one here knows how long it will last. in the port city of hudaydah, the front lines are not far away. just a few hours later,

a coalition air strike has ripped through this family home. six sisters were home alone at the time. the survivors are rushed to hospital. the father arrives, thankful to find his daughter, malika, alive. translation: we were sitting at home. i was about to start the afternoon prayer when a rocket hit the house. but four of malika's sisters did not survive the attack. for the past six months, saudi and emirati coalition forces have been closing in on hudaydah. they say the port is being used to smuggle in arms and supplies for the iranian—backed houthi rebels. this battle could be a turning point in the war, but at what cost? it is notjust the bombs and the bullets that civilians here have fled from. this war has shattered everything that kept people afloat. the price of food, fuel,

water has at least doubled across the country. it's often called the forgotten war, but everyone i've spoken to here is crying out for help, pleading with the world to finally take notice. the current offensive has left over half a million yemenis homeless. this school in the government—controlled southern city of aden has become a makeshift camp. samira and her six children are sheltering under the stairwell. caught between two warring sides, she felt she had no choice but to flee hudaydah three days ago. translation: above was shrapnel and rockets, explosions. they scared us on the roads. they scattered us and left us at god's mercy. we go to sleep scared and get up scared. starvation and poverty provoked by the war is so desperate that the country's poorest are sifting through the rubbish just to survive.

hopes are mounting here for upcoming peace talks. with aid agencies warning that yemen is on the brink of the worst famine in living history, time is running out. nawal al—maghafi, bbc news, aden. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has visited iran for the first time since he was appointed and called for the immediate release of nazanin zagarhi ratcliffe, the british—iranian who has been held there since 2016 on spying charges. mr hunt told the iranian goverment that if it continued to keep her injail, and others like her, there would be consequences. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale was with the foreign secretary in tehran. this is not a sight you will see everyday. a british foreign secretary strolling the streets of tehran, sampling the delights of the grand bazaar. this is jeremy hunt's first visit to iran and he came with a clear message.

the country, he said, should immediately release nazanin zagari—ratcliffe and other british iranian dual nationals who have been detained. if they, as a policy, detained dual nationals as a tool of diplomatic leverage, then there will be consequences for iran. this is not something that the united kingdom will allow to happen and let them get away with it scot—free. it's a case he took to his iranian counterpart, who admitted he could help with humanitarian assistance, but little more. why can nazanin zagari—ratcliffe not be released ? would it not correct an injustice, but also improve relations between the uk and iran? i'm not in a position to discuss the legalities of the case. she is an iranian citizen and she has been accused by thejudiciary, which is an independent body. and that is the problem.

the iranian power brokers who decide mrs zagari—ratcliffe's fate are not around this table. this afternoon mr hunt met her four—year—old daughter, gabriella, and otherfamily members. back in britain, her husband welcomed his efforts. honestly, i think we have been here before. this is the second time a foreign secretary has gone to iran, you know, to lobby for nazanin‘s release, so we will need to see exactly what happens before we get our hopes up too high. yet again, obviously we remain fingers crossed and hoping beyond hope that she can be back before christmas. jeremy hunt, though, did notjust come to iran to talk about british iranian dual nationals. he also came here to assess for himself the impact of us sanctions, here, on the streets of tehran. he concluded iran was under real pressure, seeing few western goods on sale. iranian leaders accept that people will suffer, but are urging european politicians like mr hunt to do more to help. james landale, bbc news, tehran. south—western railway says delays

and cancellations are expected to continue until the end of the day, after engineering work last night overran and 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. not the way monday morning is supposed to start. acute get on the platform. i have been here nearly an hour. i have just platform. i have been here nearly an hour. i havejust decided platform. i have been here nearly an hour. i have just decided whether to abandon ship and get the bus, or go home, work from home. abandon ship and get the bus, or go home, work from homelj abandon ship and get the bus, or go home, work from home. i got here from southampton half an hour ago

and there are no trains on the track. what is the plan? i don't have one. very few trains on one of the busiest lines into london throughout rush—hour. tens of thousands face long delays. joanna gave up and returned home. i'vejust been told that there is not any more trains so it's unlikely i'll be a will to make it to work today. so you've wasted how many hours? the whole morning pretty much, so, yes, pretty frustrating. at lunchtime, long journeys into waterloo only just coming to an end. the cause — overnight engineering work which overran because of a section of damaged track. the challenge is to upgrade or any 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 we look out onto the track, a quarter of a billion journeys almost

a year albert. that an enormous amount of pressure on managing piece of infrastructure that frankly was never designed for 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 service across the country hasn't been good enough. tom burridge, bbc news. millions of people across the uk face food challenges and food labelling has come into the spotlight because of recent deaths. now a treatment for nut allergies from immunotherapy now a treatment for nut allergies from immunothera py has now a treatment for nut allergies from immunotherapy has been helping natural tolerance. joe taylor has more. hi, gabriella, come through this way. you can come hi, gabriella, come through this way. you can come as hi, gabriella, come through this way. you can come as well, ma'am. 17—year—old gabriella has a serious nut allergy. it isjust a pain when

you go out to restaurants and things like that. you always have it in the back of your mind, you're always worrying. it limits your menu choices as well. i always go for something low—risk. choices as well. i always go for something low-risk. gabriella is taking part in pioneering treatment which could improve her resistance to nuts. we have a relatively new treatment called immunothera py to nuts. we have a relatively new treatment called immunotherapy where we get a tiny bit of peanut protein toa we get a tiny bit of peanut protein to a child and then we very gradually increase it until they can then tolerate a significant amount of peanut on a daily basis and that gives them protection against eating it accidentally in food. gabriella is going to take the cap shall out and then empty the contents into this yoghurt, mexican. the dose gabriella is taking contains the equivalent of one eighth of peanut. 0ver equivalent of one eighth of peanut. over a period of two years, the dose is gradually increase. each new increase is supervised in hospital. the rest of the time, gabriella

ta kes the rest of the time, gabriella takes at home. the treatment isn't a cure, but it should lessen the impact ofany cure, but it should lessen the impact of any future of the reactions. and there has been more interest in the treatment since the recent allergy deaths. over last few yea rs recent allergy deaths. over last few years i've had serious episodes. we have found a spike in referrals following the recent spate of allergy deaths that have been reported in the newspapers. and what spine this is patients are now very afraid of choosing foods that are loose wrapped —— what is behind this is patients. patients have to pay around £17,000 for this unlicensed treatment by the recent interest is upping the pressure to make this available on the nhs. it redoubles out available on the nhs. it redoubles our efforts to get this out as quickly as possible. in the meantime we have to deal with the spike of referrals we have had. next year sees phase three of clinical trials, with hundreds of patients involved, and it is hoped it will be licensed

within three to four years. joe taylor, bbc news. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers laura hughes, political correspondent at the ft, and former fleet street editor, eve pollard. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it's time for the weather with nick miller. hello. 0f hello. of course, you have noticed it has turned colder, and it will be chilly for as long as the jet stream follows the rather unusual pattern it is following at the moment. it is splitting, or bifurcating, to the west of the uk and the atlantic, one arm to the south, to the mediterranean, taking stormy weather with it, another is going to the north of the british isles, looping around high pressure in scandinavia and coming to the east, which of course this time of year brings a lot of cold yet, enhanced by a strong yet wind. into next week though jetstream will revert to a typical pattern with different effects on the weather as we will see ina effects on the weather as we will see in a moment. for now we are in

the flow of cold air with plenty of showers coming in during tuesday. and in fact as we go deeper into the davies showers are more likely to be falling as sleet and snow. —— deeper into the day the showers. gusts around 40 to 50 miles an hour along the north sea coast, so when chilly isa the north sea coast, so when chilly is a significant factor. already those temperatures are below average for the time of year. but in the wind it feels like it's closer to freezing. it is quite a raw, biting easterly wind. tuesday night into early wednesday, showers are merging to give longer spells of wet weather, rain, sleet and snow to higher ground, just about anywhere in the uk where you see the wet weather as well. but on into wednesday, it looks like the rain, sleet and snow across parts of scotland, northern ireland, whereas it is dry for england and wales, so here by the end of wednesday maybe it feels a little chilly, although the temperature is still in single figures. as the wind eases

overnight, there is the greater chance for frost late in the week. this is the pattern going into thursday. low pressure to the south—west, high pressure to the north—east. looking at the story for thursday, if you follow the arrows, there are not many of them, so the wind isn't strong, not coming from the east, more of a south—easterly, so the east, more of a south—easterly, so it is a little less chilly, a lot of cloud around, mind you, patchy rainfor of cloud around, mind you, patchy rain for northern eastern scotland, perhaps north—east england, as there will be on friday as the pattern stays the same, low pressure trying to nudge closer to us. it looks like the moment it will stay far enough from the south—west of britain keep it dry but we will keep an eye on that. a few bright or sunny spells, often cloudy, and either showers or patchy rain for eastern scotland or north—east england. the wind is not straight easterly, temperatures recover for some of us a degree or so recover for some of us a degree or so particularly across other parts of the uk. into the weekend it looks like low pressure will try to bring
