two of the most powerful officials in the game say proposed plans for a breakaway are "fiction". good morning — and welcome to the bbc news at 9. theresa may is facing renewed pressure over her brexit plans, after the democratic unionist party failed to back the government on key votes. the dup‘s ten mps contribute to the conservative's narrow majority in parliament. the northern ireland party is flexing its muscles because it's unhappy about mrs may's draft brexit withdrawal deal. this morning mrs may is meeting her cabinet for the first time since a number of ministers resigned last week, saying

they couldn't support the deal. let's take a look at the week ahead for the prime minister. she's expected in brussels to meet the european commission president, jean—claude juncker where she hopes to discuss future trade with the eu. if all goes to plan there will be a special brexit summit with european leaders next sunday where the framework for the future relationship between the uk and the eu will be discussed. but one thing that could derail the prime minister's plan are threats from backbench conservative mps who are trying to force a vote of no confidence in theresa may's leadership. they have yet to gain enough support. our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in wesminster. we will be in brussels in a moment but norman, first to you. looking at that plan by some mps to push for a vote of no—confidence in theresa may

hyder the dup‘s decision to flex its muscles over whether or not it supports the government, play into the hands of those who want to remove theresa may from her position as prime minister? i think it's been clear since the withdrawal agreement was published that the dup had been working pretty much hand in glove with mrs may's brexit critics and they have now opened up a new front in the pressure on her by threatening to us at work pull the pf°p threatening to us at work pull the prop from underneath her parliamentary majority by withdrawing their support which in practical terms, would make it extraordinarily ethical for mrs may to govern in the future because she could not rely on getting legislation through because she would not have a commons majority and she would have to try and manage day by day, vote by vote, which is extraordinarily draining and difficult and makes it nigh on impossible to get any really contentious legislation through

parliament. interestingly, the dup for sundays now have been seen are deal is not theresa may, our deal is with the conservative party, in other words, if you get shot of theresa may everything can return to normal but i suspect within downing street, they have been reckoning that this was likely to happen. it seems very difficult to see how the government can get the dup on board the cause of these controversial proposals about the northern ireland backstop and listening to their brexit spokesman sammy wilson, he did not sound like a man in the market to compromise. it only came about because the government had been very hostile to the people of northern ireland, bringing —— breaking all of the promises that have been made about not separating us have been made about not separating us from the united kingdom, not waking us up economically from our biggest market in great britain and not honouring the terms of the brexit agreement. which they had

with us and that was very clear, i mean the prime minister has broken promises to her home mps her own electorate and to ourselves and that was part of the agreement, that and we had to send a political message to the prime minister. in slightly better news that threatened no—confidence vote in mrs may appears to have fizzled out at least the time being. the rebels still do not have the 48 letters it seems, amid signs of frankly division, disarray, squabbling amongst this is may's brexit critics over whether they should be pushing for a challenge, whether now is the time to push for a challenge, who should be their challenger. if they managed to provoke a contest and some tensions between the new guard royal troon tears and the old guard brexiteers with some of the younger race tea rs brexiteers with some of the younger race tears critical of the old guard for in their view, bottling it, not putting in those letters demanding a

contest. this morning we heard from the cabinet minister david cork cautioning tory mps against continuing to press for a contest. i have to say in the middle of a very delicate negotiation that is usually important to the future of this country that we should remove the prime minister essentially, leave us leaderless for you know, certainly several weeks, possibly months, will be hugely responsible and what the country would expect a thing from the conservative party is that we get behind our prime ministerand make sure that we get behind our prime minister and make sure she can deliver a good deal for the country, that's what we are on course to do andl that's what we are on course to do and i don't think people should be, you know, talking about removing her at this point, i think that will be self—indulgent and dangerous for the country. two of the things to watch out for this morning, she will try to sell

her apostles of the future political and trading ties deal which she hopes to sign off withjean—claude juncker tomorrow and at 10am we get a press conference by the european research group, jacob rees mogg, david davis and others dry to sell their proposals for a customs arrangement. more interesting and think will be whether they will be in the market to eat copious quantities of humble pie or whether it will be carry on writing those letters. norman, thank you bury much. norman smith in westminster. the eu 27 group is continuing along its track. joining me now is our brussels reporter, adam fleming. bring us up to speed with what is happening with the eu 27. this process of finalising the political declaration on the framework for the future relationship is still ongoing. a reminder that is the second document that will sit

alongside the 585 page divorce trudy, the political declaration will spell out in broad terms the future relationship on trade, security, aviation, data protection, universities, research, you name it. it was published last week as a six and a half page outline, negotiations currently under way between the uk and eu to turn that into yet final product which could be about 20 pages of all some people say it might be 14 or 16 or even longer. that's still unknown. the eu's intention but that to be concluded today, notice that were concluded, not necessarily published, i have heard it's unlikely that document will be put out into the public domain today, we are going to have to wait a little bit longer. what's emerged over the last couple of days, the remaining eu 27 countries have started to discuss this with the european commission who do the negotiations, three issues are emerging, three points of concern, i would not put it any more than that. number one,

fisheries, in that the dealer, the policy that the eu has come to is that the uk will get access to the eu markets for its fish and fishery products and return with the eu getting access to british fishing waters, to what extent and how is that put in the document and explained and how detailed is it? secondly, a bunch of measures called the level playing field which would be about what constraints as the eu apply to the uk in return for the uk getting extra special access to the single market? and initially we were discussing yesterday, gibraltar, how exactly discussing yesterday, gibraltar, how exa ctly d o discussing yesterday, gibraltar, how exactly do the final brexit deal applied to gibraltar which is a big issue of contention of the spanish government. then there's a conversation about how you actually deal with those issues, is put into the political declaration, lots of detailed language or do you have a separate document that says, hang on, we have some concerns about these particular areas, this is what

we are worried about or do you do something more technical, attach a note to some minutes of the meeting of the european council of leaders 01’ some of the european council of leaders or some such add—on to another document that's been published in the past? lots of questions about substance, about form and the biggest question i have come off when are we actually going to see this document, the political declaration itself? 0k, adam, thank you somewhat. we want to attempt to answer any questions you have on how the brexit process develops from here. we'll be joined byjohn springford, deputy director at the centre for european reform think tank and joe 0wen, from the institute for government at 11:35 this morning — so do send us your brexit questions by text to 61124, email askthis@bbc.co.uk or tweet #bbcaskthis the chairman of the metropolitan police federation says officers could start letting violent suspects go if they're not backed up by members of the public

when trying to make arrests. it's after footage emerged of two officers being attacked while they tried to apprehend a suspect in merton in south london on saturday. 0ur correspondentjohn mcmanus is following this story for us. first of all, reminded viewers about the incident that has given rise to this discussion. this happened on saturday night in south—west london, near wimbledon, it was an incident filmed almost in its entirety on a mobile phone by a passing motorist. it involved two police officers who stopped the car containing a driver and two passengers, at some point the driver tries to run off and the male police officer ransomed by the legs and he is dragged around the road for something like 3—4 minutes as he tries to stop him escaping. the whole thing is filmed on the mobile phone as i say and the police officer who is also there, a female

officer, is attacked by another person in the car. the aim is a flying kick at her, knocks her back into the road which is on a busy junction and a bass which is turning into that road airily avoids hitting the female police officer as she lies on the ground. a pretty violent incident all filmed almost in its entirety by a passing motorist and his commentary come i have to say, appears to be in a tone that suggests this is all entertainment rather than a rather serious incident. eventually one person is detained and that's partly because he passing motorcyclist gets involved and helps the male police officer who still being attacked on the ground and the police have told us the ground and the police have told us that one person has been charged. so somebody came along he was prepared to get involved but kent marcia represents rank—and—file officers, he's been talking about this walk on by culture and he says he doesn't necessarily expect every member of the public to get involved

and have the police but he doesn't wa nt and have the police but he doesn't want them to stand there and film and not do anything to help. that's right, he says we are coming to a point we are going to start pushing m essa 9 es point we are going to start pushing m essa g es to point we are going to start pushing messages to our colleagues, risk assess what's going on in the incident you are and if you think you can't detain them let them go and as you say he's criticised this culture for people are more interested seemingly in filming incidents like this for clicks or likes on social media and actually getting involved to help a police officer. if the public now think it's ok to and film my colleagues while they are executing their warrant we are in a very, very dangerous ground, i'm not asking members of the public to suddenly jump members of the public to suddenly jump into this as police officers because we are highly trained and what we do but what i was trying to get across was the simple fact that society has just changed so get across was the simple fact that society hasjust changed so much now that it seems to be ok that they are more interested in mocking us and

filming us as we are trying to carry out are warrant of my colleagues for seriously assaulted and no one did anything to assist. really striking statement there. 0bviously officers who are trying to do a tough job feel hurt by this, don't they and doesn't say anything about the issue of cuts to policing and the strain that police officers on the front line are under? ken marsh has been critical of this point in the past as well, last year he said they had been a loss of respect for police because nearly half of the officers he represented said they wanted more armed officers on the streets. but the government is taking this seriously, last year a new law went through parliament and is due to come into effect soon which will double the maximum jail time for assaults on any member of the emergency services, police, ambulance workers, any of them. if that happens and 6—12 months in prison. john, thank you for taking

us prison. john, thank you for taking us through that story. a doctor, a newly graduated pharmacist and a police officer have died, after a gun battle outside a hospital in chicago. the gunman, who has not been named, also died but it is not clear if he was killed by police or took his own life. in a separate shooting in denver, one person has died and four have been wounded. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes reports. another city, another shooting, this time at a hospitaljust south of downtown chicago. the police say it started with a row in the car park between people who knew each other. the gunman first shot a woman with whom he was in a relationship, and then headed inside the building, closely followed by several police officers. more shots were fired, apparently at random. it was like pow pow pow, pow pow pow, pow pow pow pow pow. it was extreme, it was very loud and it was close, so this is what happened. i don't know, after that, swat came and got us out of the utility room and made us

walk across the street. a doctor, a pharmaceutical assistant and a police officer were all killed. the gunman is also dead. those officers that responded today saved a lot of lives, because this guy was just shooting. that poor woman that got off an elevator had nothing to do with nothing, and he shot her. why? there's no doubt in my mind that all those officers that responded were heroes, and they saved a lot of lives because we just don't know how much damage he was prepared to do. at about the same time in another us city, another shooting was unfolding, in downtown denver. the police say the suspect is still at large. it leaves two more american cities in mourning today. the scourge of gun violence once again to blame. peter bowes, bbc news. it's 9:16am.

were withdrawn after he had a disagreement with president trump, during a news conference. the white house has also issued rules governing future news conferences, which includes allowing only a single question from each journalist. shares in the japanese car maker, nissan, have fallen sharply as investors react to the arrest of the company's chairman, carlos ghosn, on suspicion of financial misconduct. mr ghosn is accused of under—reporting his earnings and using company assets for personal purposes. let's speak to our tokyo correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes. hello, rupert, what more can you tell us about these allegations? we have some more details this morning which is that mr ghosn, according to

the local broadcaster, had four homes purchased for him around the world, one in rio dejaneiro in brazil, one in paris, amsterdam, beirut in lebanon, the total purchase price for these homes was around £15 million and according to this story which is sourced to sources in the investigation, those homes were purchased by the company nissan on behalf of mr ghosn that they were not for business purposes but were for his private use and yet, they were not declared as part of his package of benefits on top of his already very large salary package which ran to around $10 million a year, about £7 million a year. that's the latest that we've heard the investigation. mr ghosn remains in police custody, it's around 24 hours since he was taken into custody when he arrived japan

yesterday afternoon or a board meeting and it seems he had no idea what was about to happen to him. we are hearing that the board of renault will be meeting later today in france as well. because mr ghosn chairs all three parts of this motoring alliance, renault, nissan and mitsubishi. but nissan itself is japan's two car—maker, what's the impact going to be on the company. mrghosn impact going to be on the company. mr ghosn had pretty much handed over the day—to—day running of nissan a couple of years ago to a new chief executive officer, the impact on the operations will be limited but despite that, as you say, he is a huge figure in the car industry here injapan and around the world. it's sending shock waves across the car industry, nissan's board of directors will meet on thursday to formally terminate mr town—mac one's employment, renault are meeting to catch up with this, they had been

taken catch up with this, they had been ta ken completely by catch up with this, they had been taken completely by surprise and mitsubishi motors board is also preparing to meet because he was also chair of that. but analysts are saying is it's sort of stars to put into doubt come into question this huge alliance of three separate car companies, which mr gold was the architect of and there are people who would like to see that broken up, particularly, ithink, people inside nissan who would like to reta ke inside nissan who would like to retake control of the company from their french parent renault. 0k, thank you very much for that. just to pick up on ford rupert said with a true brit said about renault, the french government says it has found no evidence that callas ghosn had cheated on his taxes in france but has ordered an inquiry into his tax affairs and the economy minister saying he was de facto no longer in a position to lead that group, that

alliance of three car manufacturers. airbnb is going to remove all listings from homes in israeli settlements in the west bank. the company says it's made the decision because settlements are at the "core of the dispute between israelis and palestinians". palestinians have welcomed the move — israel has called it "shameful" and threatened legal action. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem and joins us now. hello, for more has as a b&b said about this decision, a political position? airbnb said it recognised basically these settlements in the occupied west ba n k these settlements in the occupied west bank are at the core of the dispute between israel and the palestinians. and therefore about

200 homes listed on the website are going to be removed according to this statement. now this decision, it's interesting in the timing because it came just ahead of the publication of a very damning report by human rights watch and an israeli partner organisation which looked very much at this issue of accommodation that is being provided in israeli settlements in the occupied west bank. settlements of course, are seen as illegal under international law although israel disputes that and the israeli tourism minister has really come out accusing airbnb of taking a political decision, saying that he will support settlers who are affected by this to try and launch lawsuits against airbnb in the us, he says as well he is going to reintroduce a scheme to boost short—term rentals in the settle m e nts short—term rentals in the settlements and also he says he is looking at ways to limit airbnb's

activities inside israel as well. on the other hand the palestinians have been calling officials for something to be done for a couple of years, criticising airbnb terry much for allowing properties to advertise themselves as being in israel when actually they are in the settlements and so they have welcomed this as a positive initial step. briefly, what legal recourse could israel have on this front? well, certainly it would be very damning to airbnb if it ta kes be very damning to airbnb if it takes action against the website in the rest of the country because it isa the rest of the country because it is a very popular way for israelis to rent out their accommodation. there is the possibility, they say, of trying to take action against airbnb in the us but the good lawsuits also perhaps issued the other way, if airbnb were to make a different decision. it's been pointed out in the us and european

union is not allowed to discriminate with customers based on national origin but to allow us that in countries for a domestic law is different. 0ne countries for a domestic law is different. one of the things, one of the inconsistencies as pointed out by human rights watch report, possible theory for a palestinian to be told that they cannot even rent a template to property on land that they privately done because that's now been taken over by in israeli settlement, there is such a case study included in this report and i think that's what has really prompted terry mac to to take some action. thank you very much for that. easyjet says uncertainty over brexit hasn't affected business. the airline's figures were up by 41% to £578 million in the last year. passenger bookings for next summer are also slightly up on this summer. our business correspondent dominic 0'connell is here.

good morning to you. why is easyjet managing to do so well when others are perhaps struggling? others are struggling, higher pure prices are a lwa ys struggling, higher pure prices are always bad news for airlines, are traffic control strikes and trance and dudley, easyjet finishing the year strongly because competitors have fallen by the wayside. monarch has gone, error et al yet has gone, easyjet doing well because it doesn't have those rivals around. amazing statistics in these figures, very good profits which were expected, it carried 88 million passengers this year, 10% more than last year, the load factors, the proportion of seats in its planes 92 and a half percent, airlines don't need to run at much more than 75%, easyjet running at 92 nearly 93% load factor. doing incredibly well but preparing for brexit, what are

they saying about the possible impact? the chief executive this morning said if there was no deed he thought the european and british authorities had no basically reached an agreement leaving aside the bigger agreement, to have a bare bones heal that would mean flights would continue. that idea flights being grounded, people not being able to go on holiday or make business trips has gone away if you accept what he says. shifting stories, let's pick up on the story we we re stories, let's pick up on the story we were talking about with rupert in tokyo, which chair of renault, nissan, mitsubishi, facing these financial mismanagement charges. what is that going to mean for the motoring alliance, the alliance of the three big card manufacturers?m was the creation of callas ghosn, benin nissan together with renault and latterly mitsubishi. car companies hadn't this before and it was built from the sun being in serious trouble and looking for a

saviour in renault. interestingly in the last 30 minutes we have heard from the french government, finance minister saying mr ghosn was no longer in a position to lead renault, so for all the allegations have been about renault but now it looks like the french government, which is the influential shareholder in renault, is actually turning its back when it comes to renault. there isa back when it comes to renault. there is a board meeting later today, the renault bought, it looks like at the very least he will be suspended or excluded cos once the french finance minister says you are not in a position to lead this country, you are not in a position to lead the company. dominic, thank you. the duchess of sussex met take that as she attended the royal variety performance for the first time. meghan and her husband prince harry were also entertained by singers rick astley, george ezra and the cast of hamilton during the annual charity gala at the london palladium. in a moment, the weather but first let's join victoria derbyshire to find out what she's got coming up in her programme at ten: good morning, from 10am the latest

celsius, particularly for england and wales. 0vernight, we continue with the showers and longer spells of rain, some snow over the higher ground of the pennines and across scotland. lighter winds in the south—west, temperatures close to freezing, so perhaps frost first thing on wednesday. some sunshine for england and wales but more showers and rainfall northern and western areas. —— for northern and western areas. hello, this is bbc news with annitta mcveigh. the headlines... theresa may faces more pressure over her brexit plans, after the democratic unionist party warned it was sending her a message by failing to back the government on a budget vote. the prime minister has broken her promises to her own mps, her own electorate and ourselves, and that was part of the agreement. that having been broken, we needed to send her a political message.

the police condemn a ‘walk on by culture‘, saying frontline officers could ‘let thugs go‘ if they don‘t get help from the public. a doctor, a pharmacist and a police officer are killed after a gunman opened fire at a hospital in chicago. shares in the japanese car maker, nissan, fall sharply following the arrest of the company‘s chairman, carlos ghosn, on suspicion of financial misconduct. airbnb says it will remove all homes in israeli settlements in the west bank from its listings. also coming up... they‘re currently illegal to use on the road and pavement, but could electric scooters one day help to ease congestion in our towns and cities? time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. let‘s begin by looking at the most read stories on the bbc website.

and are the apparent bargains or they are cracked up to be? consumer group which? says most products are cheaper at other times of the year. and a good bit of advice if you read the article is to check out some of the article is to check out some of the price trackers that are around to make sure the prices are cheaper during black friday by comparing them to the prices they were at over them to the prices they were at over the last six months or so. we will come onto our most watched in a moment, but some other stories in the morning briefing first. serial sex offenderjohn worboys must stay in prison for at least another two years, after a challenge from his victims saw the high court overturn the parole board‘s decision to free him. the 61—year—old — who is now known asjohn radford — was jailed in 2009 for assaults on 12 women in london. injanuary the parole board said he would be freed after serving ten years, but some of his victims crowd —funded a legal challenge to the decision. earlier this morning kim harrison, who represented 11 survivors of his attacks in court,

spoke to bbc breakfast. she told dan walker and naga munchetty worboys‘ victims have mixed emotions about the decision. it isa it is a very bittersweet feeling, really. initial reactions from people i spoke to yesterday is immense relief and feeling very, very relieved. they were really quite scared of what might happen, had he been out. and had those two women not taken that challenge to the high court earlier this year, waterboys would be out now. —— waterboys would be out now. —— waterboys would. people feel quite astonished that a parole board could reach two completely opposite decisions. did the first parole board hearing not take into account some forms of evidence? what

happened? a mixture of things, and until the law was changed after the challenge that the women brought, we we re challenge that the women brought, we were not allowed to have the reasons for the parole board decision—making on any case, that was the law. but thejudicial review on any case, that was the law. but the judicial review and the judgment gave us the judicial review and the judgment gave us some the judicial review and the judgment gave us some insight into the thoughts of a parole board and it looks like documentation was not provided that should have been, the judges in the high court ruling back in the spring said they had taken too much account of what worboys was saying and were manipulated by him, which is what we said injanuary, this man is manipulative, dangerous, gaming the parole board. that turned out to be true and the most recent pa role out to be true and the most recent parole board decision has said part of the summary of reasons why he is a danger to women is that he believes rape is unacceptable, he wa nts to believes rape is unacceptable, he wants to control women and he still hasissues wants to control women and he still has issues around sexual fantasies

etc, drug and alcohol issues. this man should never have been considered to be released, it was plainly the wrong decision made before. but now i think we need to move forwards to a situation where this cannot happen again. kim harrison. theresa may‘s facing more pressure over her brexit plans after the democratic unionist party refused to back the government on some key votes. you may remember, after the general election the prime minister reached a deal with the dup to get the government‘s votes through parliament. but last night the party abstained on several finance bill votes — to signal how angry they are over how the brexit plans will affect northern ireland. the party‘s spokesman, sammy wilson, spoke to newsnight after the vote last night. —— brexit spokesman. we have been extreme in honouring the agreement we had with the government, we have saved domestic legislation about 20% of the time and brexit legislation on 50% of the

votes. but tonight we took the view that since the government had broken one of the fundamental agreements they had with us, namely that they would deliver brexit for the people of the uk as a whole and secondly not separate northern ireland constitutionally or economically from the united kingdom, that we had to do something to show our displeasure. what we did tonight was abstain ona displeasure. what we did tonight was abstain on a number of votes, we voted with the labour party on one vote. none of them have financial consequences but they were all designed to send a political message to the government. we have an agreement with you but you need to keep your side of the bargain, otherwise we don‘t feel obliged to keep ours. you say there are not financial consequences but it is a confidence and supply arrangements, the keyword being supply, any votes to do with money, you support them. that is over now? the confidence and supply arrangement included promises made by the about delivering brexit,

there were two sides. we would see there were two sides. we would see the domestic legislation through the house of commons and they would see the brexit legislation through the house of commons in the shape promised by the prime minister in her manifesto, her florence speech and the promises she made to us last december. she has broken all of those promises to the people of the united kingdom, her own party, the people of northern ireland. the government should be looking at its record and saying what can we do to mend the fences which we have broken with so many people in this place? sammy wilson of the dup. well, following the vote last night shadow chancellor john mcdonnell tweeted... if you watched peterjackson‘s world war i documentary they shall not grow old recently, you can‘t fail to have been moved by the vivid images of life in the trenches.

it was remarkable, wasn‘t it? for one woman it was particulary emotional because she spotted her grandad in the film. this is the moment she recognised her grandfather as a young solider. i could only say one thing, i wouldn't have missed it. it was terrible at times, but i wouldn't have missed it. oh, yes, if i could have my time again i'd go through it all overagain, because i enjoyed the service life. i could only say that i have never been so excited in my life. this was like a boy going to the play, the first time. this morning jenny pateman told naga munchetty on bbc breakfast that she noticed him immediately. i knew it was him instantly, i have seen photos of him as a young man. my seen photos of him as a young man. my parents had a big portrait on the wall, some i knew what he look like. and he also resembles one of my brothers a lot. i was pretty certain. he died when you were seven

or eight? yes. so the memories, having to go back to photos. is there anything distinguishing about him that caught your eye? that would be the nose! it is so -- it is so lovely to see something like this, this peterjackson film has moved so many people. what memories do you have a pin in particular to the war? i know you were fairly young when he died? i don't know an awful lot, he never really spoke about it, probably only snippets of what my dad told us. when you see the footage you understand why they did not really want to talk about it. i know he was ordered the military medalfor bravery know he was ordered the military medal for bravery and became an officer, but sadly he was gassed and he lost a loan, he suffered ill health for the rest of his life. ——

health for the rest of his life. —— he lost a lung. quite a remarkable story. let‘s finish off with one of the most watched stories. number two. huge waves hit tenerife in spain‘s canary islands. 20 feet, about six metres high, hitting hotels, restaurants, homes. people were evacuated from the affected areas but thankfully no one was injured. but really some quite remarkable pictures from tenerife. that‘s it for today‘s morning briefing. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘s sally nugent. let‘s talk about this european super league, supposed european super league? we are told it is all

fiction? yes. there have been reports in the german press that this would happen from leaked documents, but you are right, anita. the two most powerful people in football have declared that a proposed breakaway european football league will not happen. that‘s despite leaked documents claiming secret talks had been held to discuss just that. 0ur correspondent richard conway has uncovered the story for us. richard? is this definitely off the table? it would appear so. andrea agnelli, the co—owner ofjuventus but, would appear so. andrea agnelli, the co—owner of juventus but, more importantly for these purposes, the man who represents 230 of the biggest teams in europe, lots of those elite teams have... they want more money, a bigger tv dealfrom the champions league and had threatened to break away and form their own new league. he is saying very clearly that will not happen. i sat with him and the president of u efa sat with him and the president of

uefa in switzerland in the last few days and they talked about not only how the super league will not happen but but what they want to see happen, the reforms they think are necessary a cross happen, the reforms they think are necessary across all of the teams in europe making sure that european football is viable. this is what the president of uefa said. we started to discuss the 24—club competition in europe. we just started, there are ideas, there are drafts, but it's absolutely too early to share it with the public, because we have to speak to our stakeholders, we have to speak to national associations, to clubs. but we have some ideas. all i can say is any super league is out of the question. participation stays, and everybody will have a possibility to compete in every european competition. richard, this must be a relief for

the english premier league clubs?|j think lots of clubs in the premier league and around europe will be looking now to uefa and the european clu bs looking now to uefa and the european clubs association and saying if you wa nt clubs association and saying if you want this breakaway, what will you do, how can we challenge the likes of manchester united, manchester city, ac milan, barcelona, real madrid? how will we get into this position? we will hear more of this in the coming months and years. a sense of relief that the elite world breakaway, the rich will not richer, fa ns breakaway, the rich will not richer, fans especially will want to hear details, and the clubs, about what specifically what happened to help bridge the gap and make european football more cohesive, to do something for what is called competitive balance, making sure eve ryo ne competitive balance, making sure everyone can compete with each other on any given day. we are a long way away from that at the moment, but thinking about how we want to tackle

those problems. thank you, richard, representing wa istcoats thank you, richard, representing waistcoats tuesday! scotland will win a euro 2020 play—off spot if they beat israel in the nations league at hampden park tonight. the sides are level on points at the top of their group, although the scots lost their away game in israel last month, and manager alex mcleish says he‘s looking for every single player to bring their highest performance level to the game. germany were already relegated from their group but were on the on the verge of beating the netherlands until virgil van dijk scored in the last minute to make it two all and to guarantee his side a place in the finals next summer alongside england, switzerland and portugal. after the game you might be able to see van dijk comforting the referee, there. well, this is why. according to this dutch fan page, virgil said afterwards... "that man broke down, stood with tears in his eyes because he had just lost his mother. i wished him strength.

it‘s a small thing, but maybe it helps him." ican i can tell you that before the game virgilvan dijk i can tell you that before the game virgil van dijk lent his coach to one of the mascots. all round nice guy! england and arsenal‘sjordan nobbs could miss the rest of the season and next summer‘s women‘s world cup. she‘s ruptured a knee ligament in sunday‘s league win at everton, after scoring one of theirfour goals. nobbs has been a key part of the arsenal side that have a 100% record this season and she was england‘s player of the year in 2016. an important part of that side. there‘s quite a spread of stories on this morning‘s sports pages. the telegraph focuses on calls for gordon taylor to stand down as chief executive of the players‘ union, the pfa — they say 300 players have called for him to go and questions have been raised over his handling of negotiations over tv money and research into dementia in footballers. the guardian picks up on that story too but their main report is on qatar‘s progress in preparing for what they call their "improbable" world cup

in four years‘ time. and the mirror‘s headline is reports from italy that paul pogba has told his old team—mates atjuventus that he wants to leave manchester united and go back to turin. iam sure i am sure that will rumble on! here‘s how you can follow sport on the bbc today. radio scotland have commentary from scotland against israel, and on radio wales there‘s commentary from wales‘s friendly in albania. 5 live have updates on those games, as well as the first round fa cup replays — and there‘s full commentary from oxford city against tranmere on 5 live sports extra, the goals as they happen on the bbc sport website. and tonight on bbc two there‘s a cracking nfl show in prospect, with the chiefs against the rams — it‘s been called the best game of the season so far. you might not have heard of them,

but they are huge in america. i can tell you, when i checked twitter this morning in the early hours, it was being called the best game ever! plenty to look forward to on the nfl show tonight. that‘s all the sport for now. more from the bbc sport centre at 11:15. chiefs versus rams, i will remember that. watch it! the headlines on bbc news... theresa may faces more pressure over her brexit plans, after the democratic unionist party warned it was sending her a message by failing to back the government on a budget vote. the police condemn a walk on by culture, saying frontline officers could let thugs go if they don‘t get help from the public. a doctor, a pharmacist and a police officer are killed after a gunman opened fire at a hospital in chicago. nel commerce and further

developments on the story we told you about, the incident in merton in south london on saturday —— now, some further developments. somebody filmed it and joked about it as they we re filmed it and joked about it as they were filming, it has prompted criticisms from the chair of the met police federation, ken marsh, who represents rank and file officers, talking about a walk on by culture and saying that in some instances police will have to met thugs and criminals go if they do not get assistance. assistant commissioner steve house of the metropolitan police has responded, saying i am glad to see so many others are similarly appalled by this incident and whilst officers should never expect to be attacked as part of their job, expect to be attacked as part of theirjob, a core part of police safety training is knowing they can respond to volatile situations. he says i am mindful that members of the public do not have access to

such items that police have, the equipment that police have, and while any of this would be grateful for the public to assist them with a difficult arrest, they should only intervene if they can safely do so. soa intervene if they can safely do so. so a note of caution by steve house of the metropolitan police after comments about the walk on by culture by the chairman of the police federation, perhaps a slight difference in tone in their statements. many of us will have enjoyed riding on a scooter when we were children, but could the kids‘ toy really be the answer to the grown up problems of pollution and congestion? electric scooters are currently illegal on public roads and pavements in the uk but campaign groups hope this will change in the near future. graham satchell reports. the electric scooter — is this the answer to britain‘s congested, polluted roads? i haven‘t been on a scooter since i was about six,

so this could be good. 0h, 0k. that wasn‘t good. as i rather uncertainly unleashed my inner six—year—old, the man behind this electric scooter was having some big thoughts. we‘ve got to a breaking point in cities across the uk, where congestion is at an all—time high, air quality is at an all—time high, so we have to try and make a difference here and provide the public with an alternative. if this is the future of short—hop journeys, there are a couple of problems. scooters aren‘t legal either on the road or the pavement in the uk, which is why this trial is happening on private land at the olympic park in london. the scooters in this trial are only available to hire. you unlock them with a smartphone, and their speed is limited to 15 miles an hour. the government says it‘s

looking at the legislation, but, even if the law changes, there are other worries. do i think they‘d be safe on the road in amongst the traffic? probably not, no, really. mixing something the size of a scooter with trucks or delivery vans, buses and all the other things we need on our roads, to fit that in is going to be difficult to make that a safe environment. electric scooters have boomed in popularity around the world — in america, france, holland and other european countries where clear rules are in place to make them as safe as possible. this is certainly not for fast roads and certainly not for the pavement. we want them in the cycle path and we will work with cities and governments across the uk to invest in actually improving those cycle infrastructures, so cyclists and scooter riders can ride safely. the trial in elizabeth park runs for the next three months. electric scooters, driverless cars, smart roads, getting from a to b could be unrecognisable in future. graham satchell, bbc news.

london‘s had the gherkin, the cheese grater and the walkie talkie. now, if plans are approved, a new tower called the tulip willjoin the skyline. at 1,000 feet it would be the tallest skyscraper in the capital and feature internal slides and moving transparent pods running outside the building. if planning permission for the unusually—shaped building is permitted, construction will begin in 2020 and be completed five years later. sounds like a fascinating design. it‘s not even december yet, but the trumps have already got their christmas tree. president trump and first lady melania watched

their tree — which was brought by horse and carriage — arrive at the white house. the president is not traditionally present for the tree‘s arrival, but made a special appearance this year, with his red tie adding a festive touch. the fraser fir is 19 and a half feet tall, and was grown on a farm in north carolina. victoria derbyshire is here in a few moments. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with simon king. good morning. that cold, easterly wind again today. if you thought yesterday was cold, you probably wa nt yesterday was cold, you probably wantan yesterday was cold, you probably want an extra layer today because it will feel colder. the cold air is coming from continental europe, bringing in quite a few showers this morning, even some snow to the tops of the hills in scotland and across the pennines will see some wintry nurse. we will see a mixture of

showers, break this coming through in herefordshire, breaks in the cloud, the best of the breaks will be across western scotland, northern ireland, south—west wales and the south—west of england. quite a few showers coming in across western areas, particularly across western england and eastern scotland, but a cold easterly wind. while temperatures on your thermometer may say about six to 9 degrees, you have to at the wind—chill. 0utside, it will feel more like a roundabout on 022—macro or three degrees for england and wales, less cold across scotla nd england and wales, less cold across scotland and northern ireland. a cold feeling day today and tonight, we continue with showers across northern england, merging into longer spells of rain, pushing into scotland. some snow over the tops of the pennines tonight, the winds for

lighter towards the south—west, we could see a touch of frost into wednesday morning, temperatures staying above freezing because you have the stronger winds. into wednesday, the range it clearfor northern england, snow on the higher grounds, showers and northern ireland, a bit of rain moving into the south—west but it should be drier, brighter and perhaps not quite as cold because the wind is coming in from zero —— from more of a south—easterly direction. into thursday, for many it should be dry, brighter skies, sunshine initially, cloud across eastern areas in particular, some showers across the east and south—east, temperatures very similar on thursday, round about seven to nine celsius, the wind not quite as strong so it will not feel as cold as it has done through today. wrap up warmly if you

are out and about today. hello, it‘s tuesday, it‘s 10 o‘clock, i‘m victoria derbyshire. shocking footage filmed on a mobile phone shows two police officers being being attacked in south london. we‘ll show you the video in a few minutes. now this man, who represents rank and file officers in london says if the public doesnt back the police, they may have to let violent suspects go. so what would you do if saw a police officer being asssaulted ? also, sending someone an unsolicited picture of your genitals isn‘t necessarily illegal. two thirds of people think it should be, according to a bbc 5 live poll today. we‘ll talk to this woman says she receives two or three such unsolicited images a day, and a man who says he does send explicit selfies — but never uninvited. and we‘ll bring you the latest brexit blind date —
