up, as although they said in his face lit up, as soon as although they said in his face lit up, as soon as he although they said in his face lit up, as soon as he saw although they said in his face lit up, as soon as he saw rob coming on at using makaton, he was still engaged and excited. coming up in the sport later in the hour on bbc news, thet england wing chris ashton is set to miss next saturday's test against australia at twickenham. he's got a calf problem. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. theresa may will travel to brussels tomorrow to meet the european commission president, jean claude juncker, ahead of a summit on sunday, when she hopes her brexit deal will be agreed by eu leaders. mrs may appears to have seen off attempts by backbenchers to mount a vote of no confidence in her leadership but her critics in the party went back on the attack today, accusing her of not delivering a ‘proper brexit.‘

this morning, the prime minister chaired her first cabinet meeting since a series of ministerial resignations last week. our political correspondent chris mason has this report. conservative mp jacob conservative mpjacob rees—mogg can attract a crowd. of reporters, that is. he and his colleagues in the brexiteer european research group have not managed, yet, at least, to muster up a big enough bunch of tory mps to force a vote of confidence in the prime minister, despite suggesting it was imminent. reporter: are you disappointed in your colleagues? of course i am not disappointed in my colleagues. i have always said that the er g does not have a collective view, people must make their minds up themselves. and people will do what they think is right at the time they think it is right at the time they think it is right. mr rees-mogg was chairing

an event including businessmen and the brexit secretary before last, david davis, among others, setting out its alternatives to the government's plan. meanwhile, the cabinet was gathering up the road. the less time they met the government started self combusting shortly afterwards. —— the last time they met. and this morning we saw they met. and this morning we saw the smile of newby, the prime minister's third brexit secretary, stephen dodd —— stephen berkley, and the return of amber rudd as work and pensions secretary. have you steadied the ship oryza panic stations? i think the situation is the choices for the country are becoming clearer and it is even the prime minister's deal or we leave with no deal, which would be bad forjobs and living standards, or we don't implement the brexit result, which would damage trust in the political systems. but this is what the latest headache for

downing street looks like, northern ireland's democratic unionist party who prop up theresa may in downing street, don't like her brexit plan and last night refused to vote with the conservatives on bits of last month's budget. we took the view that since the government had broken one of the fundamental agreements they had with us, namely they would deliver brexit for the people of the united kingdom asa for the people of the united kingdom as a whole and not separate northern ireland constitutionally or economic leaf from the united kingdom, that we had to do something to show our displeasure. the dup flex their muscles last night, how do you persuade them back around to backing the deal? we will continue to talk to the dup and make the case that this deal is good for the whole uk, but in particular for northern ireland. the prime minister has rightly focused on ensuring that northern ireland is not ina on ensuring that northern ireland is not in a different customs arrangement from great britain and she has risked the whole deal in order to win that, and she has won that point. they don't believe you,

that point. they don't believe you, thatis that point. they don't believe you, that is the point. we will continue making the case. making the case about the withdrawal agreement and the future partnership with the european union continues for the government, from different places to different audiences. tomorrow night the prime minister is heading to brussels to meet european commission presidentjean—claude juncker ahead of the big brexit summit at the weekend. in a moment, we'll speak to our europe correspondent damian grammaticas in brussels — but first, our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. os the prime minister push is on —— pushes on, her critics are on the back foot? politics is so often about what the americans call the big mo, momentum, the critics seem to be stuttering and stalling and struggling after their failed leadership attempt, the reason, frankly, is they are divided about whether it is wise to try to topple mrs may, divided over timings, some

say wait until after the crucial vote next month, divided over who should be their candidate if there isa should be their candidate if there is a contest and the site —— and divided between the new wave brexiteers and the old guard, with the new way suspicions that the old guard did not put in any letters because they would rather like to be in government. contrast that with mrs may, who held the first meeting of her new cabinet. nobody ordered pizza, nobody walked out the door. that was at the weekend. she has the eu summit to sign of the deal and then there could be up to two weeks of debate on her brexit deal, that reminds me a bit of the famous 60s film the ipcress file, michael caine as harry palmer is strapped in a chair, his enemies bombarded with noise to try to bombard him. maybe mrs may is trying to bombard mps with endless brexit noise in the hope they will crack. at the end of

the day, harry palmer did not succumb, so maybe tory mps will not, either! damian grammaticas is in brussels, the prime minister heading there later. the prime minister —— the spanish prime minister has threatened to vote against the draft deal unless the status of gibraltar is clarified, how significant would that be? as norman was saying, talking about momentum, the prime minister will be here at 5:30pm tomorrow, number ten says that is about the ongoing negotiations, the political declaration on future ties, future trade ties hammered out. we know that was meant to be finalised today, it looks like it has been delayed until later in the week, the commission here says she is coming for tea with mrjuncker and not confirming any negotiations will happen, but the impression of momentum happening there. for spain, it is important, the prime minister of spain said today he might vote

against the deal on sunday if gibraltar is not clarified. the problem for spain, it does not have a veto in those negotiations, in that meeting on sunday. it would be difficult for the eu to press ahead without all of its countries on board, spain cannot stop that and thatis board, spain cannot stop that and that is one of the things being addressed this week in all of the ongoing talks, whether spain can be satisfied. we know the eu side, mr barnier, has said they do not want to reopen negotiations that have been settled, they know it would be difficult for london and it could bring problems, so at the minute quite a lot to play for but things still on track. damian in brussels on norman and westminster, thank you. for the first time the nhs has failed to meet its waiting time targets for cancer, a&e, and routine operations for a whole year right across the uk. our health editor hugh pym is here. this is bbc research that has

discovered this, give us more details? these are three key targets designed to reassure patients they are getting timely care, for example, the four—hour target for weights and a&e, for waiting for surgery and cancer treatment. at a uk national level all of them have been missed over 12 months for the first time. at local level there is variation in performance, some hospitals doing better than another. for england over the last 12 months, 16 out of 13! hospital trusts missed all of their targets in every month. some of the others would have hit some of them but missed others. on to scotland, the figures from our bbc research show that three out of 40 bbc research show that three out of a0 and health boards missed all of the three targets over 12 months. for wales, the data shows that five out of seven health boards, again, missed all three targets in every single month. northern ireland, the figures show

that all five out of five health trusts in northern ireland missed all of their targets over 12 month period. reaction to that news? the department of health and social care in england is praising the work of hard—working staff in england is praising the work of ha rd—working staff and in england is praising the work of hard—working staff and saying more and more patients are coming through the door, more money has been put the door, more money has been put the nhs in england. scotland and wales say they are putting in place different processes to try to speed up different processes to try to speed up the flow of patients, northern ireland accepts that some way ‘tahs are not right and should be addressed for patients in northern ireland. —— that some waits are not right. the nhs in england is looking at suggestions for changing the targets, making them more realistic to different methods of care, but that might provoke a patient backlash, they might feel they are there for a reason to keep the nhs up there for a reason to keep the nhs up to the mark. thank you. if you'd like to find out how your local services are performing, you can find out using the bbc‘s nhs tracker at www. bbc.co.uk/nhstracker. four people have died

after a shooting at a hospital in the american city of chicago. the gunman shot a doctor — believed to be his former fiancee — outside the building before storming inside and killing a trainee pharmacist and a police officer. he then turned the gun on himself. 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 utility room and made us walk across the street. literally, as i'm stepping onto the pavement, i hear five shots, six shots.

"bam, bam, bam, bam." i drop my groceries, i say, "head for the..." you know, "take cover." so we take cover, and at this corner there was really nowhere to seek shelter. and we heard about six more shots. 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. the city of chicago is no stranger to gun violence. it's everyday life for people who live here. but this shooting has hit home harder than most. this tears at the soul of our city. it is the face and the

consequence of evil. 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. shares in the japanese car maker nissan have fallen in tokyo as investors react to the arrest of the compa ny‘s chairman, carlos ghosn. he's accused of financial misconduct, including understating his pay by nearly £35 million. our correspondent in tokyo is rupert wingfield—hayes. yes, we have been getting some more details leaking out about the allegations against carlos ghosn,

including that four houses were bought for him by nissan in brazil, lebanon, france and amsterdam, in holland. the total cost of those housesis holland. the total cost of those houses is alleged to have been around £15 million. but those houses we re around £15 million. but those houses were not declared to authorities in japan as part of his salary package or benefits package. those are some of the financial allegations against him. he remains in custody here. on thursday nissan's board will meet to formally dismiss him from his position as chairman and because he is in custody here he is unable to carry out his duties as the chief executive officer of renault, that has prompted the french finance minister today to say that mr ghosn can no longer lead that company, the board will meet in paris and it looks like mr ghosn will lose his job as ceo of renault as well. studio: thank you, rupert wingfield—hayes. our top story this lunchtime.

the prime minister will travel to brussels tomorrow to meet the european commission president, jean claude juncker, amid continuing criticism of the brexit agreement from members of her party. and still to come... the first woman to become prime minister of australia tells the bbc of her shock at the sexist abuse she received while in office. and coming up in the sport in the next 15 minutes on bbc news... sir mo farah says he's going to take part in the london marathon again next year. he came third in april but won in chicago last month, his first victory over the distance. the former australian prime minister, julia gillard, has spoken of her shock at the level of sexist abuse she received while in government. she was in power between 2010 and 2013, and was the country's first woman to hold the office. ms gillard, who was confronted by opponents with the slogan ‘ditch the witch', said she had not been prepared for the misogyny she faced. she was speaking to yalda hakim as part of the bbc‘s 100 women

series, which asks a hundred influential and inspirational women around the world every year to share their experiences. julia gillard made history when she became a string of's first female prime minister but her time in office was no easy ride, overshadowed a misogynistic and sexist attacks. since leaving office she has sought to advance the cause is of women and girls through the promotion of education. in this special interview i asked her to draw on her personal experience as well as give advice to women globally who are trying to break through their own professional class ceilings. you were sturdy‘s first female by minister and then since leaving office you said to lot of women who want to go into politics, go for it but you've repeatedly said there is this about that, the misogynist and sexist and bit, don't

pretend it isn't there. were you prepared for the kind of attack she came under? no, iwasn't prepared for the kind of attack she came under? no, i wasn't and i sort of entered into parliament not having really felt in a personal way sexism or misogyny, of course i knew it existed, i was an active feminist at university but i didn't go into a law firm which was overwhelmingly male at the leadership level but even with that i did not really feel i reckon we sexism. so by the time i was prime minister and the sword of gender abuse was flying it did take me back that it could get as bad as that and there was still so much sexism lying under the surface of our society and i think many other societies around the world and went it came to me becoming leader it look through. it was the kind of old to gender insult that signs outside parliament has seen each which

meaning me, referring to me as a pitch, the way in which there were pornographic cartoons circulated about me, the incredibly vile and often violent and is set on social media, the fact that much of the imagery that was ruled burma woven around me in parliament and media was gender at its centre, all of that was more than i was expecting. perhaps most famous moment in politics was when you stood up against your opponent tony abbott and called him out for misogyny and sexism you faced in parliament daily, it's had 3 million views or something like that on youtube. daily, it's had 3 million views or something like that on youtubei will not lectured about sexism and misogyny by best man, i will not! and the government will not lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man, not now... do you wish you were remembered for doing something else? yes and i used to, particularly as i

travelled, you would get women who would rush over to talk to you about that speech and that still happens and there was a period when i was immediately post—politics that i would think to myself, i was in the parliament for 15 years, i was deputy prime minister for three, parliament for 15 years, i was deputy prime ministerfor three, i was prime ministerfor deputy prime ministerfor three, i was prime minister for three, deputy prime ministerfor three, i was prime ministerfor three, we did some incredibly big things nation changing things and apparently it all comes down to one speech but i am at peace with it now in this sense that i know that speech has come to mean a lot to many women. sense that i know that speech has come to mean a lot to many womenm there something about your old job that you miss? yes, there are things that you miss? yes, there are things that i miss, there is no greater capacity to put your values into action than politics and that's one of the reasons that i do talk it up to young women and girls to think about as a career. you get to change, things you care about. prime minister gillard, thank you for your

time. thank you very much. a video showing police officers being attacked in south london has been shared widely on social media. the footage, taken in merton on saturday, shows a man kicking a female officer, who is left clutching her head just yards from a passing bus. her colleague is shown being dragged across the road, as he tries to stop a suspect. a warning, this report from jon mcmanus contains footage some people may find disturbing. everybody‘s flying, look, they've got him. this is the moment a routine a traffic police stop in south west london turned violent. one of the occupants of the car attempts to run away, the male police officer is dragged around the road while trying to stop him. a female officer tries to help. only to be violently drop kicked to the ground by another man, an oncoming bus narrowly avoids hitting her. dear me, hejust kung fu kicked her. both officers were treated in hospital but their injuries were not serious. the incident was recorded on a mobile phone. i'm getting this all live. and it's this and the tone of the commentary that has prompted the chair of the metropolitan police

federation to criticise the behaviour of some members of the public. is it becoming acceptable we can build constantly police officers executing their warrant, do absolutely nothing about it and it's a big joke. ken marsh says officers might have to start letting suspects go if they don't receive public support but he doesn't mean he expects them to jump in to physically help. assaults on officers are growing, there were 26,000 in the past year. and other emergency workers have also been targeted with over 17,000 nhs staff attacked in some form. this senior policeman responsible for officers' welfare says the public should be cautious. this isn't a green light for have a go heroes, many members of the public do incredibly brave things to keep us safe as well as themselves safe on a day—to—day basis. all we are saying here is there is a difference between helping us and hindering us and glorifying some of the things that are being filmed at the moment. i'm getting this live,

boys and girls. among those who drove by, a passing motorcyclist appears to aid the officers. police say they are grateful for help from the public but should only get involved if it is safe to do so. one person has been charged in connection with this incident, police are searching for two others. jon mcmanus, bbc news. president trump's immigration policy has hit a stumbling block. earlier this month, the president signed an order barring people from claiming asylum if they enter the country illegally. but a judge has blocked the order, saying it exceeds the president's authority. the intervention comes as a group of migrants, who set off from countries in central america, reached the mexican city of tijuana, on the border with the united states. donald trump has called the caravan an "invasion" and an "avalanche". our correspondent will grant has been travelling with them. this is the sports centre in tijuana and for the migrants in the caravan

to reach this point the united states is within touching distance. now they must decide what they are going to do next. it wont be simple to cross of what is the busiest border crossing in the world. some are signing up for asylum here behind me. they are receiving advice on the process of how to do that and they are putting their names down by migrant rights groups are supporting them. of course the mayor of tijuana has said they could spend up to six months in the process, he described this as an avalanche in the city is ill equipped to deal with. nevertheless those who are on red are still planning to make it to this point.

we expect them to arrive in the coming hours. and many who have encountered greater hostility along the way, there's been a hardening of attitudes towards the migrants in the northern states of mexico that they did not see in the southern states for example for example here in tijuana over the weekend there was a small but vocal anti migrant protest which was quickly broken up by police but reflected that greater hostility, that outpouring of anger, particularly seen online, in social media, that the migrants aren't welcome here. president trump of course has told them to go home in no uncertain terms. nevertheless, once they get here they will decide what to do next, some may choose to break away from the caravan from the caravan and try to cross on their own via dangerous people trafficking gangs, human smugglers with all the risks involved in that process. others may choose the safer option of settling here in mexico itself if they can find work. we'll ground there, with the latest from mexico. the two most powerful men

in european football are in brussels today to meet the eu commission. the uefa president, aleksander ceferin, and andrea agnelli, from the european clubs association, are there to outline their vision for the future of the game on the continent. they've dismissed reports of a breakaway super league of elite clubs and said the rules which govern how much football clubs can spend need strengthening. they were speaking to our sports correspondent, richard conway. commentator: this is spectacular! it's gareth bale! they are one of european football's richest and most successful teams but according to recently leaked documents, it appears real madrid still want more. it is alleged the spanish side and ten other elite clubs were plotting a breakaway super league. but in a show of unity, the head of european football and the man who represents the continent's top clubs say such plans are fiction. all i can say is that any super league is out of the question. participation stays and everybody will have a possibility to compete in every european competition.

that stays. sport thrives on competition. in its purest sense, it needs to be a meritocracy. any club from any country has to believe it can rise to the very top. one such club is manchester city, having won three premier league titles in recent years. but there are allegations the club's abu dhabi owners have breached uefa's financial regulations by hiding costs and inflating sponsorship values. the rules are supposed to level the playing field, ensuring clubs only spend what they earn. city have described the claims as an organised and clear attempt to damage their reputation and said its compliance with the rules had been exemplary. the uefa president says the allegations will be independently examined and separately wants the regulations to be made stronger. we acknowledge that the rules might be weak in certain points. we know that we have to modernise.

we know that we have to check our rules and regulations all the time. what we certainly want are robust regulatory mechanisms in place by uefa but fair play is not just financial, it should be a way of life, it should be a style, so fair play should apply to the way we actually interact within our organisation and that is something we expect from all the clubs. success on the pitch does not come cheap but the challenge now for those in charge is to make sure they don't sell football short. richard conway, bbc news, nyon. millions of children have enjoyed cbeebies book at bedtime over the years — but last week — for the first time — it was told using makaton sign language. six—year—old tom mccartney who's deaf watched it with this mother. she filmed his reaction as he understood the story for the first time. he was so excited that she posted the footage online — it has since gone viral.

lorna gordon reports. bedtime story. hello, i'm rob... it's become part of the bedtime routine for many parents and their children but when actor rob delaney recently took on cbeebies storytelling duties, it led to a very special reaction from one young boy. as soon as he saw rob, come on and he was using makaton, hejust, yeah, he wasjust so engaged and excited by it. although tom doesn't have any speech, he has a very expressive little face and he uses, he doesn't just sign, as you can see, but he uses his entire body, as you saw, including standing up in his chair, to be able to get across how excited he was. six—year—old tom has complex medical needs. during one of his trips to hospital, his mum and dad started using makaton sign language to help communicate with their son. there is something like! million people using makaton out there today as we speak to help their communication, ranging from those with learning disabilities, as we saw with tom, but also helping babies to acquire

speech, looking at developing wider literacy skills and even working with people with dementia. the young boy's joyful response has been shared thousands of times online. it even caught the attention of the storyteller himself, who has said tom's response was beautiful. rob delaney‘s only links to the language came about after he learned makaton to communicate with his own son, henry, who had been seriously ill with a brain tumour, and who died earlier this year. i'm so glad that it was him that they chose to do it, i think because he has a personal connection to makaton, with his son, henry, and made it even more special for us, knowing what he had been through, and the kind of personal journey with makaton. mum laura said her son's reaction had left her in tears. the family's hope now — that makaton will make it into more children's television, so tom can enjoy more of his favourite programmes in a language he understands. lorna gordon, bbc news, falkirk.

time for a look at the weather... here's ben rich it is still cold. and mac at home is about to make it into the weather forecast, and it is like that. it is cold, feeling cold and it looks cold, feeling cold and it looks cold, the scene on the norfolk coast earlier, cloud racing from the east, speckled cloud, that is indicative of quite some showers racing across the map, showers continuing, most of them falling as rain but there could be some sleet, even wet snow mixing in over the highest ground, those showers brought in on a brisk wind, busting a0 miles an hour or more. the
