the prime minister is due to meet her fellow eu leaders shortly, to take the most important step so far on the uk's journey out of the european union. after 18 months of negotiations, they're set to approve the withdrawal agreement and a political declaration on future relations. in a letter to the nation, released to coincide with the summit theresa may insisted the deal would work for the whole of the uk, and said "a new chapter" will begin after brexit. but she also acknowledges the battle ahead in the run—up to next month's crucial vote at westminster. she's expected to address mps in the commons tomorrow, as she tries to persuade them to approve her deal. we can get more on this from christian fraser who's presenting a special bbc broadcast in brussels this morning. a very good morning. welcome to brussels, to this special eu summit

on brexit today that many european leaders lord would never come. here it is an affront to the 27 metres which get you to brussels, will be 585 pa g es which get you to brussels, will be 585 pages of dents legally binding text on the uk's withdrawal from the european union and alongside that, the newest document, and non— legally binding text which sets out the framework. this is not a happy day for the european council. no backslapping. but in the letter that donald task wrote to the european leaders, he did advise them that they approved the two taxing ——2 texts in front of them. no one has any reason not to celebrate. the leaders will be arriving here in the next five or ten minutes. we'll bring you all the reaction from the leaders as they get in brussels and all eyes will be on the spanish prime minister because yesterday, he

was saying that his last—minute brinkmanship won an important concession. there is adam fleming with all the details on our first report. the prime minister ending a round of meetings in brussels last night. the uk wakes up to an open letter from her. in it, she says her deal works: "for all of our people whether you voted leave or remain". and that after brexit day next march: "we will then begin a new chapter in our national life". it was all nearly derailed at the last minute by pressure from the spanish government over how brexit will play out in gibraltar. translation: in the framework of the future political declaration, the european council and the european commission reinforce spain's position. the uk's position on the sovereignty of gibraltar has not changed and will not change. i'm proud that gibraltar is british and will always stand by gibraltar.

the other eu leaders will rubberstamp their side of the bargain in this room before theresa may is ushered in. the brexit deal, completed by sunday lunch. adam fleming, bbc news, brussels. i'm very pleased to say that adam fleming is with me. there are some people whose entire life has been brexit and lead up to this day. tel isa brexit and lead up to this day. tel is a little bit about the format. will there be a boat? this is a political moment rather than a legal one. technically there could be a boat done under qualified majority rules and a majority of the countries representing the population. he never wanted to get to that point. he only wanted to be a situation for all 27 on board.

that is what this morning is about, showing this is a deal that the whole eu is behind. and giving theresa may big springboard into the next difficult but which is a vote in parliament. that unanimity, that is important. talk to us about this concession. it's all ready store to buy the two documents. concession. it's all ready store to buy the two documentslj concession. it's all ready store to buy the two documents. i wish there was an easy answer. it's a bit of both and it's another example of where both sides, the uk and the eu and in this case the spanish government, can leave claiming a victory of sorts. the original plan was that spain would have a veto over the final deal. what is happening now is, kicking up a big fuss about the withdrawal agreements. applying in gibraltar

where spain had no say. the eu ambassador to the uk, sir tim barrow, has written a letter. then there is a letter from jean—claude juncker and donald task to pedro sanchez. then there are two clarification articles to the minutes of the eu summit which will speu minutes of the eu summit which will spell out whether future relationship will not automatically apply to gibraltar. there will be a track between uk and spain about how gibraltar will be affected. as usual, as always, spain will get a veto. it has highlighted a vulnerability on gibraltar. it has been opened up by brexit. it was there from the beginning of this process. they must know the

vulnerability of theresa may as well. she has written this open letter to the british public. do you think there is an acknowledgement that we are going to be back in the next summit, talking about text ain? next summit, talking about text again? there you go, over the loudspeaker. there are some people on brussels. there has to be some kind of process. that is diplomats speaking in private unguarded moments. they are sealed, they are done, that is it, they will not be reopened. as i was saying, this is designed to be a big, dramatic spot the moment were theresa may has the backing of the 27. they say the deal is done. it's got the backing, sell

it in westminster. the european parliament have a vote on the dealers well to a message, don't try and cause trouble or kick up a fuss at the end of the process. as 27 prime ministers and presidents have signed up to this. adam is going to be with us through the course of the day. you're watching a special programme from brussels. we will be back with more brexit later. let's get some more of this morning's news. a man has been charged with the attempted murder of a police officer after a knife attack in east london. the incident happened at ilford railway station on friday night. daniel adeyemi — who's 2a — will appear before magistrates tomorrow. the officer involved has been discharged from hospital. nine in ten people who've bought newly—built homes say they've found some kind of defect in their property, according to research seen by bbc radio 5 live investigates. the figures come from an annual report called ‘the new homes review‘, which also shows a third of people

aren't happy with their properties overall. earlier, presenter adrian goldberg told us how it's affecting buyers. craig tracy from ink barrow in worcestershire, there property at a staggering 354 defects ranging from troublesome roof to damp course is not being put in properly to all problems. they'd been on their property for two years. they had to leave because the house is inhabitable. it's not fit for human habitation at the moment. the company that made that house, bovis, they say they are very sorry and they say they are very sorry and they are working with the family and have many thousands of happy customers but it is a real problem when people buy a brand—new house. french president emmanuel macron has criticised demonstrators who clashed with police in paris during protests about fuel prices. on twitter he said, "shame on those who attacked. there is no room for violence in the republic."

officers used tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstators. 19 people were injured and 40 arrests were made. essex police have issued a warning about a potentially dangerous batch of cocaine after a man died in colchester. officers are urging anyone who may have bought cocaine in the town south american football officials were forced to postpone one of the biggest matches in argentina's history last night after a bus carrying one of the teams was attacked by rival fans. the game, equivalent to the final of the champions league, was between two teams from buenos aries — boca juniors and river plate. lebo diseko reports. running battles on the streets of buenos aires as river plate fans throw missiles at police.

they should have been cheering on their team at the historic football final. instead, these supporters are part of what looks like a full—blown riot. earlier, river plate fans attacked the bus carrying the boca juniors to the stadium. boca captain pablo perez had an injured eye, apparently after shards of glass got into it. others players suffered cuts on faces, arms and legs. for the fans, there was disappointment and frustration as their evening was cut short. translation: it's a complete embarrassment. the thing is, the vast majority of people have come to enjoy this game peacefully with their families and children but because of 300 misfits, it is always the same people, soccer has been hurt. translation: this was supposed to project a good image of people celebrating. i am very bitter.

i've always hoped that things could change but they are not changing. this had been the most anticipated game in the history of the two football giants, the first time they were facing each other in a big south american final. as the boca team left the stadium, the match had been redscheduled to go ahead later today, but there were still concerns about more violence and ugly scenes to come. lebo diseko, bbc news. the treasures of an ancient egyptian tomb thought to be more than 3,500 years old have been unveiled by archaeologists near the city of luxor. two perfectly preserved mummies were found alongside over 1,000 egyptian statues. they're believed to date back to the 18th dynasty, which spanned from 1,550 bc to about 1,300 bc. you can see how perfectly there have

been preserved. it's extraordinary. it's amazing. it is 7:13 a.m., you are watching breakfast. let us look at the headlines. theresa may's withdrawal agreement is expected to be approved by other leaders but the prime minister expects to face opposition from the own mps. she has written an open letter appealing to the public to support her withdrawal deal promising a brighterfuture after brexit. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. good morning and hello, if you are under the grey skies yesterday the prospect of something a little brighter today but generally still cloudy, showers

about, particularly the further east you are and it will feel on the cold side in the brisk easterly winds. this is yesterday's low pressure with outbreaks of rain. in parts of england and wales, leaving a legacy of cloud and some showers across sussex and kent and you can see we are still in the cold air, those blue colours, easterly winds feeding both showers across until sometime next week we something milder but with the showers today across eastern and north—eastern coast, some way “— eastern and north—eastern coast, some way —— publishing away east and wales, the midlands, southern parts of england, fewer showers than yesterday, some bright or sunny spells, western side of scotland, brisk easterly winds make it feel a bit colder, at the showers getting across to the eastern side of northern ireland, temperatures between six and nine celsius, some parts of south—west england eating up parts of south—west england eating up to ten. the showers previous evening and overnight, frequent across east and north—east coasts. south and west, clear right,

widespread frost where we see the clearer skies across northern england and scotland, temperatures in the rural areas getting closer to freezing otherwise between two and five celsius but a cold start to the day, still some showers about, frequent eastern coasts but fewer than we have seen today. mainly dry day for most, more in the way of sunshine and with the lighter winds, it will not feel as cold, even though it will struggle to get above seven degrees. tuesday, we have seen and atlantic front, the weather has been coming from the east but now it comes from the west and we will see outbreaks of rain arriving from the west into tuesday morning. the squeeze on the isobars means the wind will strengthen. blustery days across south—west england. bear in mind we are in cold air and is the brain bumps into the cold air we will see snow for a time, not amounting to much, across the pennines, the higher ground of scotla nd pennines, the higher ground of scotland but elsewhere, a blustery day with rain and a cool feeling day

again, gusts of 30 or 40 miles an hour. the last day of feeling on the cold side, 4—7 across the east, temperatures can climb between ten and 12 for western areas, a sign of things to come because things will turn more wild in the week ahead but bringing a risk of gales and also some heavy rain at times so it is all change. back to you. on cue, alina. —— thank you. we often hear about the post—traumatic stress disorder experienced by those returning from duty in the armed forces, but the same symptoms are often felt by members of the emergency services working in the uk. in the week that prince william opened up about his own mental health struggles as an air ambulance pilot, we're asking if more could be done to help those who work so hard to help others. our reporterjohn maguire has been finding out. as london's air ambulance arrives for duty, its flight crew, paramedics and doctors have no idea what the day has in store. on average, it is called to five emergencies a day.

all will involve patients who are critically ill or injured. the service, run by a charity, attracts doctors from around the world because of the high level of emergency care that its staff provides. a canadian, dr mike christian, was one of the first medics on the scene at the london bridge terror attacks last year. they do know one of the paramedics who was first on scene and literally the first person there and he was profoundly impacted by this but sought the appropriate help and recognised the signs, the symptoms he was experiencing and that benefited him significantly. he was able to return to his career and continue on after going through that. he served as a military doctor in afghanistan so understands the after—effects of severe trauma and also that medical staff are some way behind the military in their awareness of stress disorder. in your day—to—day work, when it's something you do as part of your regular career,

i think unlike the military people are less aware that this can have an impact so the programmes that have been in place in the military are now coming into the emergency services and even palliative care to help people recognise the impact this could have on them and how they help in their career. this film was made by dr matthew walton, based on an incident he attended while flying with an air ambulance. he believes more could or should be done, especially to help young staff cope. one part of what we are trying to do is create a briefing package which can be given to people who are new to this type of work. to give them some very simple indication as to what they might as to what they might see, what are the normal reactions that people can have and what they can do that they do require any further help or support and who they can turn to when they need it. just this week, prince william spoke about how he was affected

by his time as an air ambulance pilot. the relation between the job and the personal life is what really took me over the edge and i started feeling things that i've never felt before and i got very sad and very down. these issues will be discussed at the world extreme medicine conference in edinburgh today. delegates will consider what more needs to be done to help people in the emergency services to cope with such traumatic events to help each other and themselves so that they can carry on helping those in such critical need. john maguire, bbc news. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. fashion entrepreneurjenny holloway is here to tell us what's caught her eye. good morning. we'll speak tojenny in a minute. let's look at the front pages first, which are largely dominated

by the latest brexit developments. the mail on sunday describes theresa may's 800—word letter to the nation as "extraordinary". she has gone with this letter in all of the papers today. it also reports the pm's aides are considering a live public debate between mrs may and the labour leaderjeremy corbyn. that is over her deal and the future for brexit. it would struggle if it we re for brexit. it would struggle if it were up against i'm a celebrity. . . get were up against i'm a celebrity...get me out of here. the observer, describes the prime minister as "increasingly desperate". it reports that theresa may wants to "get on with brexit now" so ministers can focus on other issues such as improving the nhs. i'm a prime minister get me out of here maybe? the telegraph claims cabinet ministers and eu diplomats are secretly drawing up a plan b, to be used if the withdrawal deal is voted down in parliament. lots of talk about this possibility.

it says 91 conservative mps have indicated they would oppose the current deal. and finally, the independent shows a photo of a protestor waving a flag on the champs—elysees last night, during demonstrations about rising fuel prices. emmanuel macron is under some pressure there. it also reports on the brexit negotiations, claiming theresa may is facing "backlash" over her concessions to spain. that is over the whole gibraltar issue, of course. i promise we will not entirely talk about bricks this morning but should we do one brexit story, jenny? this is an article by lord digbyjones. story, jenny? this is an article by lord digby jones. it was the headline to get on with this that really caught my attention because 85% of our workforce is european and who knows who will make the right decision or not? nobody has a

crystal ball. we need some stability and sometimes when you make a decision, you make it work and that is what industry is good at is picking up opportunities but not to have stability for workforce, and they have been here five or six years and have children here, at english schools, it isn't right. we have to make the decision. 85% of your workforce? and they are amazing. so how easy is it to the future for someone in your position? incredibly difficult because brexit overnight stops the knocks on the door with people asking the jobs and the machine off we have us a highly skilled, and we do not find british workforce —— machinists. skilled, and we do not find british workforce -- machinists. the question people are saying it isn't isa question people are saying it isn't is a good opportunity for a british investment and british jobs is a good opportunity for a british investment and britishjobs now? is a good opportunity for a british investment and british jobs now? we have no investment because retails we re have no investment because retails were taking their orders abroad and so we were taking their orders abroad and so we haven't had the skills development and actually, having the

east european ladies coming in, highly talented and very skilled, and the lack of stability for them isa and the lack of stability for them is a nightmare. theresa may will hope that today, in this meeting and photo opportunity with handshakes and all of the other leaders, it is and all of the other leaders, it is a way of creating, she would hope, stability and the message that this is the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning, or whatever. that is what we need, whatever we need we need garment manufacturing and the polarisation that is occurring as to what can be made in the uk, we can turn garment around in three or four weeks, all of those fashion trends we can pick up on. fast fashion is what it is about. one fullness in schools is happening for some time but it has been extended further so what are the potential benefits? so much talk about stress and what we need to do with stress is to talk and i think this mindfulness, rather than having a mind that is full all you were looking backwards or fulwood, you have to start living in the present andl have to start living in the present and i think this article was so good

secretary it talking about breathing, meditation for children, and having the ability to talk and express feelings. i can hear people groaning, are my goodness why don't they learn the basics? we are behind in the league tables on spelling and maths are that kind of thing but what is mindfulness adding to the curriculum? mental health, lots of words that you can always have in every curriculum but really, it is important that people can talk and stop the stress levels, notjust important that people can talk and stop the stress levels, not just the children, all of the way through in life as well. we saw prince william in the peace we just played talking about mental health and stress. his new sister—in—law meghan markle on the front page of this paper, this magazine, the telegraph supplement, 365 days of meghan markle's fashion. talking about your own fast fashion connections, has she been good for business? she is good for business

if she is wearing the garment you are producing but actually this was more of a bit of a go about how much information there is about style and garments and actually, do we need that many garments in our wardrobe? i think fast fashion is sometimes misunderstood, it is regarded as throwaway fashion but actually, it isn't, in el book, it is you can make a garment within 2—3 weeks, getting the fabric for example from leicester, but make good quality garments that have the cachet about them, they are well made, they should not be thrown away, you can wear a garment should not be thrown away, you can weara garment 30, should not be thrown away, you can wear a garment 30, 40, should not be thrown away, you can weara garment 30, 40, 50 should not be thrown away, you can wear a garment 30, 40, 50 times, should not be thrown away, you can weara garment 30, 40, 50 times, and weara garment 30, 40, 50 times, and we should think about... somebody like her in the public i wouldn't get away with that. even if a dress is recycled over and number of yea rs, is recycled over and number of years, the papers are on it. yes, but is that right? if the garments are well made, and they should be, let's look at french seams and stop depends, we shouldn't be throwing away garments and adding to landfill. how influential is meghan

markle as a fashion icon? is she an icon? i think she is. markle as a fashion icon? is she an icon? ithink she is. she markle as a fashion icon? is she an icon? i think she is. she gets on tv and she has a lovely sense of dress and she has a lovely sense of dress and a lovely style and she looks great ina and a lovely style and she looks great in a garment. but i think people also do know what they like. sometimes people develop their own style, especially as you get older and actually the problem is about fit, garments do not always fit correctly so what may be a size ten or 12 correctly so what may be a size ten or12 in one correctly so what may be a size ten or 12 in one retailer is completely different somewhere else. that is an ongoing issue and i am feeling very self—conscious now about whether i have french hens or not. me to! -- too! talking about students being let off classes that they find upsetting now. i can hear accusations again of snowflake generation being thrown about. how can you go to university and have an education if it is not grounded? life is not through rose tinted

spectacles. there is good and bad and we have to cater for the good times and the bad times and... what kind of topics are they talking about? it was actually vague and what people may find offensive or upsetting to one person may not be to another. so that is why i sort of pulled it out because i thought well, it has been rounded, it is about being having an education that is full and i don't understand... and facing subjects that are challenging. they talk about subjects here that include things like gender identity, politics, faith and religion, drugs, so on, sensitive areas, but they are the kind of things we should be learning and talking about. it is the degrees of severity as well, but we don't talk about it so it adds to more stress and we go round in circles and we need mindfulness again! jenny, thank you for now. we will let you go and plough through the rest of them and we will see you in

one hour. thank you indeed. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and jon kay. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the prime minister is due to meet her fellow eu leaders in brussels shortly, to take the most important step so far on the uk's journey out of the european union. after 18 months of negotiations, they are set to approve the withdrawal agreement and a political declaration on future relations. in a letter to the nation today, theresa may insists the deal will work for the whole of the uk. our political correspondent leila nathoo has been having a look at that open letter this morning. leila, what do you think the prime minister is hoping to achieve? well, this is an appeal directly to the public. she has dozens of mps in westminster who have openly declared that they are unhappy with the deal. this is an attempt by theresa may to

go over their heads. she is using some very emotive language. this is the final moment when brexit is going to get settled. she talks about the moment of leaving the eu isa about the moment of leaving the eu is a moment of reconciliation and renewal. she is trying to basically give the narrative that this is finally brexit. she talks about her domestic agenda as well but she knows very well that despite today's summit which will sign of the deal on the eu side, she goes the biggest battle lies ahead because when it comes back to westminster, there is fierce opposition, despite selling the deal and that is where the biggest problems lie. that focus on the domestic agenda is interesting because there will be an awareness that people are getting fed up with the end of —— endless discussions around brexit. she wants to drive forward the idea that we can get it

done and focus on the nhs, schools funding and making life betterfor everybody in the country. it is whether that punches through. she uses the word, this will be when brexit is finally settled. i think there is a sense that it's been so long since the referendum in these debates have been happening right up until the last minute and they are still happening. you still have criticism from her own backbenches. the message she is trying to get out todayis the message she is trying to get out today is that this brexit deal is the best we are going to get. this is when we should settle the matter. she talks about it being one that should unite people. getting rid of those labels wants a brawl but i think at the moment, it seems like wishful thinking. she has arguments before this parliamentary vote. today, it's a slightly different

picture. the stage is set for this formal moment, this media opportunity. we will be joining christian fraser and adam fleming. they will be seeing all these eu leaders all the eu flags, heading in that a sign that withdrawal agreement. make no mistake, this might be the end of the first part of the process but this whole brexit debate, both in brussels and across europe and here in the uk is far from over. anything could happen. a lot of people thinking about the future. a man has been charged with the attempted murder of a police officer after a knife attack in east london. the incident happened at ilford railway station on friday night. daniel adeyemi — who's 24 —

will appear before magistrates tomorrow. the officer involved has been discharged from hospital. nine in ten people who've bought newly—built homes say they've found some kind of defect in their property, according to research seen by bbc radio 5 live investigates. the figures come from an annual report called the new homes review, which also shows a third of people aren't happy with their properties overall. last month, the government announced plans to help those facing problems. south american football officials were forced to postpone one of the biggest matches in argentina's history last night, after a bus carrying one of the teams was attacked by rival fans. the game, equivalent to the final of the champions league, was between two teams from buenos aries — boca juniors and river plate. boca players suffered cuts from broken windows and were also affected by tear gas used by the police. the match has been rescheduled to take place later today.

i was hoping to bring you some great news of a win for the women in the cricket world t20 but it ended in defeat and a disappointing defeat. it's the nature of the loss. expectations were high. it's the batting that let them down. australia has been dominant. they won four over the last five. it shows how good they are. they will be disappointed. they will try to underline this. disappointment for england's women who wanted to cement themselves as the best interntaional team in white ball cricket. they failed to bat out their twenty overs, opener tammy beaumont out for just four, only two players made it into double figures, as england's batting proved their downfall —

the tail easily removed as they were all out for 105, australia lost just two wickets in their run chase — some big hitting from ashleigh gardner saw them reach the total with eight wickets in hand. yesterday, the men's test side are in action — yesterday it was all about the brilliant catches from keatonjennings, on day three it's about the english wickets which have fallen. four in the opening session and one of those was keatonjennings — the opener falling off the first ball of the day. butjoss buttler steadied things to take them to 115—4. a lead of 211 runs. remeber engalnd hoping to win this series three nil if they can win in colombo, that would be a really significnat achivement. —— achievement. —— significant.

what an exciting autumn it's been in rugby union — all the home nations signed off with wins. scotland beat argentina, ireland beat the usa. england had a convincing victory against australia in what was legendary commentator ian robertson's final game before retiring and wales completed their first clean sweep of november internationals, as they beat south africa in cardiff as patrick gearey reports. wales have enjoyed their autumn at home, by the fire. in the comfort of cardiff, they'd won three from three. and what a start against south africa. atjust the right moment, up popped a prop — tomas francis over, wales away. they didn't let up. overlapping then overwhelming. liam william's try — 14—0, 16 minutes in. that was the easy part. wales knew they would have to deal with the springboks in wilderbeast mode. their pressure creating space forjesse kriel to score. south africa got back to within 3 points but, as the pressure grew,

the welsh got bigger. dan biggar‘s two penalties carried them clear, all the way to an autumnal clean—sweep and nine wins in a row going into a world cup year. speaking of world cups... commentator: this is the one that's coming back forjonny wilkinson! he drops for world cup glory! it's over, he has done it. ian robertson's most famous bbc radio commentary and, for his final match on the mic after 47 years, england was sson beating australia once more. jonny may the finisher of his side's perfect start. england were in control, 10 points ahead but israel folau spotted a hole in their plan. blink and you'll miss him. england did. they were lucky to still be level at the break. then afterwards, elliot daly found the fast lane. once he does that, the result becomes inevitable. if daly is the express, joe cockanasiga is a freight train with several heavy carriages. no stopping him neither.

but finally, he will be stopping after a memorable end to england's year and a legendary career. i have loved every minute of it. and thank you very, very much. patrick geary, bbc news. scotland finished their autumn series with a hard—fought victory against argentina at a rainy murrayfield. sean maitland scored the only try of the game in the second half to give the scots a 14—9. and ireland made it four wins out of four in their autumn internationals for the second year in a row with a comfortable 57—14 win over the usa. this was a chance for several of ireland's squad players to make a name for themselves in a campaign that's seenjoe schmidt's side beat the all blacks, argentina and italy, making them one of the favourites heading into the world cup. chelsea's unbeaten premier league record is over after a 3—1 defeat to spurs at wembley. heung—min son scored his first league goal since march to seal the win, and what a

solo effort it was. this brilliant run and finish added to dele alli's header and a long range strike from harry kane. spurs go above chelsea in the table up to third. manchester city were at their awesome best as they beat west ham 4—0 in a performance that manager pep guardiola called "quite lucky". leroy sane scored a goal in each half to help keep the champions two points clear at the top of the league — they remain unbeaten. as do liverpool who are second after winning 3—0 at watford, two points further back. england defender trent alexander—arnold scored the best of the goals with a stunning free—kick. jurgen klopp's side and city are still undefeated in the league. celtic continue to top the scottish premier league thanks

dutch newspaper trouw — he's in brussels for us now. to me isa to me is a will be hoping to some positive headlines. it must be in her mind and all the other minds around the table, that this might not get through. —— theresa may. what people in brussels expect is going to happen next? that's a good question. when they vote this deal down, the whole summit today was for nothing. you could say, or maybe there will be in the british parliament, nobody knows. if it is voted down in london, there will be a new period of uncertainty. for the dutch among others. you are dutch, how is it being viewed by people in the street in the netherlands, brexit? you are one of our closest neighbours geographically, and one of our key partners economically. you have a lot to be affected by? it is a big

worry. also, a study said that we are most affected by brexit after ireland. the second country most affected. there is a big worry. also, there is still surprise in the netherlands about how the whole process is going. there is some talk in the netherlands a couple of years ago about holland is leaving the eu, not as advanced a debate as it had beenin not as advanced a debate as it had been in the uk but the beginning of a movement. how has that been affected by watching brexit? some yea rs affected by watching brexit? some years ago there was talk about the netherlands leaving the eu, nexit, this was promoted by populist parties but there was eurosceptic parties but there was eurosceptic parties like the traditional parties like the conservatives, but the mood has changed. there is enthusiasm about the eu and because of brexit

as an example not going well at all, i think there is an exit movement that still exists but it is not part of the traditional politics. less than two years ago. christoph schmidt, thank you forjoining us on bbc breakfast. it's a busy day ahead, i think! let's bbc breakfast. it's a busy day ahead, ithink! let's have bbc breakfast. it's a busy day ahead, i think! let's have a look at the weather. how is it there this morning? good morning. still a lot of cloud around, but the prospect of more brightness than we saw yesterday. some showers, still feeling cold. cold air on the easterly wind. this area of low pressure brought in outbreaks of rain across the south of the uk. this legacy of cloud and showers in sussex and kent. still an easterly wind pushing further showers on to eastern coasts. it stays cold over the next few days. mild midweek. the most frequent showers in eastern and

north—eastern posts. further west, a brisk easterly wind. further west, the fewer showers you see. bright and sunny spells, the best of that sunshine in western scotland but temperatures will be tempered by a noticeable easterly wind. 6—9d this afternoon, a chilly feel. through the evening and overnight, particularly in eastern and north—eastern coasts, a slight wintry element over high ground. drive further south, clear skies for many. and of the most clear skies in scotla nd many. and of the most clear skies in scotland and northern england, we see widespread frost. temperatures get close to freezing here. high further south, four or 5 degrees. a chilly start but it is brighter. spells of sunshine. most frequent on eastern coasts i , they showers. sunshine through the weekend. on the cold side,

temperatures 7—10d. things change, this frontal system, we have not had those for some time. winds close together. tuesday morning, outbreaks of rain in northern ireland, wales and south—west england. pushing eastwards on tuesday, as it bumps into colder airfor some eastwards on tuesday, as it bumps into colder air for some time, eastwards on tuesday, as it bumps into colder airfor some time, snow over high ground of the pennines and across scotland. 7 degrees, goodbye. alina, thank you.. time now for click. the californian wildfires are the

deadliest the state has ever seen. they have claimed the lives of more than 80 people. hundreds are missing and whole towns have been destroyed. the californian wildfires are the deadliest the state has ever seen. they have claimed the lives of more than 80 people, hundreds are missing, and whole towns have been destroyed. but as residents tried to escape, the firefighters did what they always do — they ran towards the danger. it is a profession that relies on courage, education, and increasingly, the latest science and technology to better understand how fires behave and how to beat back the flames. and if you want to be a firefighter, this is where you learn your craft — the international fire training centre in darlington, in the north of england. this is where brave firefighters come from around the world to learn the latest techniques in fighting all kinds of blazes. they can simulate a huge variety of fire scenarios here —

oil rigs, industrialfires, that's an overturned fuel tanker, and they can simulate any size of aircraft, from the smallest to the largest. that is an airbus a380 and this is a boeing 747. and it is notjust about gearing up and grabbing the hose. every fire is different. and each needs to be treated intelligently to make sure that you, and the people you're trying to save, have the best chance of survival. wow! oh, my goodness! they're using the water as a protective shield. so they're keeping the two fires apart using the water, keeping the left at bay and then extinguishing the right one, before we deal with the left. the centre tries to make the fire

as realistic as possible. not just the fire, but the treatment of the casualties, too. it's fascinating to see the science behind firefighting. for example, in a kerosene fuel fire, water won't put it out. this cone of water controls the blaze, so that another firefighter can come in with a powder extinguisher. that is what finally tames the flames. and, once they're gone, does that mean the job is done? well, that's where this thermal imaging camera comes in, to see what our eyes cannot. so once it looks like the fire is out, you still have to cover the area in water, just in case there are some hotspots. you can see here the vent in the top of this engine is still white—hot, according to this thermal imaging camera. and there are many other ways to detect and deal with fires, and lara lewington has been looking at some of them. for the past two years,

half of the uk's fire brigades have been deploying these drones. they focus on the safety of firefighters, and their on—board hd and thermal imaging cameras can provide much greater visibility, which means a better understanding of a fire and the way that it's spreading. using a drone, we can get pretty much an instant overview of the whole fire in less than five minutes and start moving our machines and firefighters around like chess pieces, really, all controlled by drone footage. it brings a massive benefit, as we can see fires as they're developing. the team here have also used them for rescues and searching for people in quarries or water — the hd camera being able to clearly zoom in on a face up to a mile away. —— zoom in on a face up

to half a mile away. but, of course, when it comes to the spread of fires, what's happened recently in california is at the forefront of our minds. well, the university of westminster is researching a system that combines sensors on the ground and those in a drone. the aim — a solution for wildfires. these solar—powered prototype sensors are tracking carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen, humidity, temperature, gps and altitude. the aim is to combine them into one miniaturised, cost—effective version, which could be deployed en masse in areas susceptible to wildfires, providing immediate feedback. if there is something, they will alert all their neighbours also, form into a network, alert taken, take measurements, convey to the master node, which then conveys it further up to the server, which alerts the drones, which come up to give a visual.

the plane comes with all the information it has got from the drones, from the ground sensors, and it knows what the wind speed is, what the direction is, what the temperature variations are, and comes over the fire, it knows where the fire will be when it rendezvous with that and then it makes a release from the air and then you have the heavens opening with these lovely pellets flying in and hitting the target when the fire is. and you can fight fires day and night, 24 hours a day, with no visibility. meanwhile, this is the stinger. it can pierce through metal and pretty much any roof, dramatically blasting foam or water into the heart of the blaze. the quantity and force of that water is pretty incredible. this pumps 1,000 litres a minute, with an even more powerfuljet to the side capable

of 4.5 times that. it also has an on—board thermal imaging camera to assist with that precision. blackburn is currently the only uk fire service using this kit, though. i'm told it costs over £600,000. but maybe as costs come down and all this technology evolves, this next generation of firefighting will become the norm. i'm at leicestershire fire and rescue — the first service in the country to invest in virtual reality. their hope is that money will be saved by replacing some of the expensive training techniques with vr alternatives. i've seen the demo and the fire looks quite intense, so i don't think it's going to be what i'm used to when it comes to virtual reality,

which isjust having a nice time. let's see. all the scenes in the training are scanned from the real world. for instance, this arson hotspot investor is a good reference —— for instance, this arson hotspot in leicester is a good reference for investigators looking for clues. it's the inside of a destroyed smoke alarm. ijust need to say, like, the environment is, like, i'm standing on ash. it feels very real. teleportation. oh, my gosh. ok, there's a body down there. if you enjoy your training, you're going to get more out of it. it's already been proven. there's a study in the united states that if you train in the virtual reality environment, the retention rate is 75%. most of my talks i do on road safety are powerpoint. we tend to make 5%. you can see why we are looking at this, because our training is going to be enhanced so much.

and if you want to skip 10 seconds forward, you can do on the controller — you can just skip forward and fast—forward the fire. if you remember from the scene you saw a minute ago, that tv monitor was completely melted. you can see how it physically affects things that are not even burning yet. yes, then the idea is, obviously, as this stops, we didn't show the people putting out the fire, but you get the ability to dive straight back in the scene, and you're in that same burn scene. yeah. yeah, seeing the impact of the fire is pretty remarkable. it moves quickly. part of the reason this experience feels so intense is the realism. for leicestershire fire and rescue, this was important — that they move away from gamification and into real life. they have been working with a company called rivr to make this happen. the scenes are created using photogrammetry. both cameras and lasers photograph in real life, 360—degree scenarios, up to thousands of times.

—— both cameras and lasers photographing real life, 360—degree scenarios, up to thousands of times. we've seen how fire services are using virtual reality, but what about other first responders? here at the defence science and technology laboratory, they are hard at work on how police might use virtual reality in ourtraining. —— in theirtraining. number 7 ferguson house, caller reports sounds of violent disturbance. oh, wow. i can see some feet already. so i don't think that people wouldn't expect to put the police and virtual reality together. why is it so important that police are interacting with technology in this way? you can replicate one—off events. so a one—off event which could be a dangerous or hazardous environment, you can actually recreate as a one—off, and people would never, ever get the opportunity to rehearse that. but in vr, we can, so we can give them that vehicle and give them that opportunity to do a one—off scenario and do it safely. there we go — oh, my gosh.

ok, i'm going to see if she is alive. she's obviously taken some pills. there's a heartbeat here. i can definitely see already how it could be used to — in the way that a lot of games are, really, to open up your mind to possibilities around crime, why people may have committed criminal activities. those kind of questions are definitely there already. yeah, that was more enjoyable than the fire one, i think, which perhaps shouldn't be my takeaway. but i, um, oh, like, i could go back into that world, whereas the fire scene, ijust wanted to get out. and that is the short cut of click. the full—length version comes highly recommended and is waiting for you on iplayer right now, and we'll put some amazing footage from this place up on social media as well, on facebook and on twitter. we live @bbcclick. for now, thanks for watching,

and we will see you soon. i'm christian fraser live in brussels for a bbc news special. after 18 months of negotiations, european union leaders are about to meet to decide whether to accept the terms of britain's withdrawal from the eu. the jointly agreed withdrawal agreement and declaration on the future relationship will outline the terms of britain's relationship with the eu for years to come — but there's little enthusiasm from eu leaders. we will agree today, we will endorse the brexit agreement, but there is nothing good for any side because it's a withdrawal from the european union. if it's approved, the deal will face a much tougher vote in westminster. theresa may has written an open letter to the british public
