a few showers here and there. this is the picture this evening. some of these showers in the english channel over water rather than land, maybe some in the far south—west and channel islands, but elsewhere a lot of dry weather this evening. we have seen a few showers in the far south—east and in north—east england as well and a few will continue, just clipping parts of the east of northern ireland and into eastern scotland. clear spells in the west of scotland will allow temperatures to dip away quite quickly overnight with a frost taking hold here and some of us down to “4 going into the morning. in fact, anywhere overnight when it is clear for any period of time, you can see temperatures in low single figures with a touch of frost, one or two mist and fog patches. we pick up the showers are still peppering eastern parts of scotland, across northern towards northern ireland and still feeding into the far south—east. these are overnight temperatures in towns and cities and of course in the countryside and suburbs it will be colder than this. into tomorrow morning and still on this flow of air coming in from the east, showers peppering eastern scotland, eastern england, some in northern ireland but much of western scotland,

wales and the west of england will be dry and fairly sunny which means, for some of us, more blue sky compared to today. still single figure temperatures and a frost for many on a monday night into tuesday morning. some mist and fog around as well. but on tuesday, the atlantic starts to roar back into life with a warm weather front coming through and another on wednesday with those isobars getting closer together. the winds pick up as the weather turns much more active but the winds coming from the south—west, you can see from the colours, that means it is milder air coming in. you will notice temperatures heading up. tuesday, rain from the west and south—west across all parts on wednesday and wednesday there will be gales in the north and west, even severe gales in places, that brings the possibility mid week of some potentially disruptive winds. all part of a weather pattern which turns it much more unsettled this week, wet and windy at times but also much milder compared to where we are now. hello, this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines. theresa may urges parliament and the public to back her brexit deal after it's endorsement

at today's eu summit. jean—claude juncker, president of the european commission, warns mps that the agreement is the best and only deal on offer. in other 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 24,will appear before magistrates tomorrow. parliament has seized documents as part of an ongoing dispute between facebook and a committee of mps investigating the technology giant's use of private data. let's get more now on our top story — that after 20 months of negotiations, eu leaders have endorsed an agreement on the uk's withdrawal and future relations with the bloc. and so now attention turns to the uk parliament — which is expected to vote on theresa may's brexit deal in early december.

but its approval is far from guaranteed, and the prime minister has once again been urging people to get behind her and support it. she was speaking at a press conference earlier today in brussels. today marks the culmination of a long and difficult process of negotiation between the uk and the eu. there are those who said that reaching a brexit agreement that worked for both sides was an impossible task. from the start i rejected that counsel of despair and set about negotiating a deal that worked for the uk and the eu. one that delivered on the result of the referendum and set us on course for a prosperous future, while maintaining a close relationship with our friends and neighbours. thanks to the hard work of both sets of negotiators, that is what we have today agreed. i want to take a few moments to speak directly to the british people and explain what this deal means.

first, control of our borders. not an emergency brake on free movement or promise of greater transition controls in future, but an end to the free movement of people in full, once and for all. that is what this deal delivers. it will allow us to put in place an immigration system based not on where people come from but on the skills and talents they have to offer. that is in our national interest. second, control of our money. not a reduction in our membership fee, a bigger budget rebate, but an end to vast annual payments being sent to the eu. that is what this deal delivers. instead we will be able to spend taxpayers‘ money on our priorities, like the £394 million per week of extra investment we are putting into our nhs. that is in our national interest. third, control over our laws. notjust the return of some areas of control from brussels, but an end to the jurisdiction

of the european court ofjustice in the uk, with our laws being made in our country by democratically elected politicians, interpreted and enforced by british courts. that is what this deal delivers and that is in our national interest. in agriculture, it doesn'tjust deliver a better deal under the common agriculture policy, it takes us out of the cap completely, meaning we can design new systems of support for farmers that work for the uk. and in fishing, it does notjust deliver a bigger annual quota within the common fisheries policy — it sets us free of the cfp for good and for ever. the uk will be an independent coastal state once again, in full sovereign control of our waters, able to decide for ourselves who we allow to fish in them, with that access not tied to any other aspect of our economic partnership. that is in our national interest too. on borders, laws and money, this deal delivers for the british people.

but i have been just as determined that as well as taking back control, this should be a deal that protects the things we value in a relationship with our european friends, and sets us on course for a future of opportunity and prosperity, and this deal does that too. if your family's livelihood depends on a skilled job in our manufacturing sector, you need a deal that keeps goods flooding easily across borders and keeps supply chains intact. this deal does that. we will be outside the single market and the customs union, but have an economic partnership with the eu closer than any other country enjoys. good for business and in our national interest. if you're one of the over 3 million eu citizens who has come and built your life in the uk, come to be our colleagues, neighbours and friends, you need a deal that guarantees your rights. if you're one of the almost i million uk nationals living elsewhere in the eu, you need the same. this deal delivers for you all.

because each one of us is made safer by the close security cooperation between the uk and eu, we all need a deal that keeps that close partnership intact, and this deal does that too. as prime minister of the united kingdom, i have felt very keenly my responsibility to deliver a deal that works for the whole uk and for all of its parts. so, what we have agreed protects the constitutional integrity of the united kingdom. we rejected proposals which would have compromised that integrity, and insisted on keeping all parts of our uk in a single customs territory. this deal delivers that. it also honours the solemn commitment we made to the people of northern ireland that there should be no hard border between northern ireland and ireland. this deal will safeguard the ha rd—won progress of the last 20 years, and allow the people of that part of our uk to carry on living their lives

as they do today. this is a deal that works for the whole uk family, including our overseas territories and the crown dependencies. on gibraltar, we have worked constructively with spain throughout this process, and i want to thank fabian picardo for the statesman—like role he has played. we have ensured gibraltar is covered by the withdrawal agreement and by the implementation period. let no one be in any doubt, for the future partnership, the uk will be negotiating for the whole uk family, including gibraltar. i am proud that gibraltar is british, and its constitutional status will not change. the deal we have agreed today unlocks a bright future for the uk. outside the eu, we will be able to strike new trade deals around the world, and open up new markets in the world's fastest growing economies. we'll be able to focus our energies on the other important issues that matter to the british people

at home, creating more good jobs and spreading prosperity more widely, taking care of our public services like the nhs and schools, building more homes and tackling the social injustices that prevent too many people fulfilling their potential. in any negotiation, you do not get everything you want. you need to identify what your vital interests are and stick to them, but be prepared to compromise on other areas in order to achieve a result. i think the british people understand that. when they look at this deal, they will see it as a good one for our country and that it is in the national interest for everyone to get behind it. it honours the referendum, protects what we value and sets us on course for a bright future. today marks the culmination of our exit negotiations with the eu, but it also marks the start of a crucial national debate in our country over the next few weeks. before christmas, mps will vote on this deal. it will be one of the most significant votes

that parliament has held for many years. on it will depend whether we move forward together into a brighter future or open the door to yet more division and uncertainty. the british people don't want to spend any more time arguing about brexit. they want a good deal done that fulfils the vote and allows us to come together again as a country. so, i will take this deal back to the house of commons, confident we have achieved the best deal available, and full of optimism about the future of our country. in parliament and beyond it, i will make the case for this deal with all my heart and i look forward to that campaign. thank you. questions. laura? thank you, prime minister. bbc news. throughout this very long process, you have often been reluctant to tell us what's really going on, because you said it's a negotiation and you've understandably kept your cards close to your chest.

now the process is over, can i ask you to be very straight with the public and tell us who, if anyone, you think is pleased about this deal? well, i've just set out in my statement that i think this is a good deal for the whole of the united kingdom. i believe it delivers on the vote that the british people took, it delivers the end of free movement, enterthejurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, and sending vast annual sums to the eu every year and delivers on other issues like coming out of the cap and cfp. and it sets us on course for our future. yes, there is the next stage of negotiations in terms of the future relationship and the legal text of that. but what we see in this deal today is a deal that delivers for people, delivers on the vote, delivers in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods and protects our security and our united kingdom. and, as i've said before, i believe our best days lie ahead of us. i have to ask george for a question.

thank you for persevering, prime minister. george parker for the ft. i thought i would sit in the front row so you could see me! you say this is the best deal for britain. we've heard from other european leaders that this is the only deal on the table, there is no alternative to it. if you can't get this deal through the house of commons, and you've said before this isn't about you, would you feel duty bound to resign? you're right i've said before it's not about me — and i'll say it again, it's not about me. my focus over the next few weeks is on, as ijust said, making the case for this deal. as you've heard, and presidentjuncker said this was the only deal possible, this has been echoed by other european leaders. i think when people come to vote in the house of commons, they will need to ask themselves about two aspects of this particularly. the first is delivering brexit. i think we have a duty as a house of commons, as a parliament, to deliver brexit,

and the second question is about what it means for our constituents. as i've said, the deal we have delivered i believe delivers not just on what people wanted when they voted for brexit but also does it in a way that protects jobs, protects our security and protects the united kingdom. that was theresa may giving her verdict on the outcome of the deal and beginning the process to convince parliament to back it. now on bbc news it's time for the travel show. our travels this week begin in a european capital very familiar to many of us, a city that has become a market leader in cliches. i am here in the city of love but also, the city of cars — and plenty of them.

one, though, in particular, stands out more than any other in the hearts of the french people — the citroen 2cv. and this year, she's turning 70. the 2cv was born in 1948 in the immediate aftermath of world war ii. the very first prototypes, as well as the very last model and all the others in between, are kept here in the citroen heritage centre in the north of paris. and here they are. they've really got character. and this one, you can probably see from the bullet holes, must have been from the bond film, for your eyes only. with its unique shape, the 2cv — short for "deux chevaux", or "two horses" — quickly came to fame, and not only in movies. within a few decades,

the car became a common sight on france's roads, and in its countryside. the founding design principle of this car was four wheels under an umbrella. the idea of a light car but with really good suspension, so you could drive over a field with four passengers and a basket of eggs on your lap. and by the end of yourjourney, none of the eggs would've broken. more than 5 million were produced, until the last one in 1990. they're also a fun addition to any weekend in the capital. bonjour! bonjour, christa! vincent, good to meet you! good to meet you! this must be it. it is! this is it! your chance to drive. excellent. here we go. vincent takes guided tours around paris. i'm definitely going to need a lesson, vincent. he'll even let you drive

if you ask nicely. and once you get the hang of it, it's really good fun. now, where is the gear stick? the gear stick is there. so you just turn that. if you want to press the first one. and pull. this is first, ok? and back to neutral. and push, it's second. second. this is very unusual. yeah, i know! it's unique. this might take — please excuse me if we bunny—hop up the street. driving a 2cv feels actually very different to any kind of modern car. you can feel the engine under your foot, you know? and the noise of the car, and it is very physical. and it's not a car that goes very fast, but it's not the goal, you know? it is a — it's a very kind of active experience. yeah. there's no sitting back and letting the car do its work, you have to be involved.

yeah, exactly. and on the left, this is le louvre museum. ah! is this something — i mean, do you think this is part of french identity? yes, it is of course, yes — with the baguette and with the stripes. laughs. well, we've got two of the three — we'll have to stop for a baguette. yeah. you are very brave, because driving a 2cv car is not easy. driving in paris is not easy. driving for the first time a 2cv car in paris is really, really brave for you. now you're making me nervous! there are no airbags, the windows aren't electric, and as for ac? let's just say that it's pretty rudimentary. but for some reason, the french really seem to love the 2cv. as long as that remains the case, the car that they call the ‘tin snail‘ will keep ploughing its own furrow on slow lanes everywhere.

last year, slovakia in central europe welcomed a record number of tourists, attracted chiefly by the breathtaking landscapes and excellent skiing. the mountains there are stunning at any time of year, but they also hide a shiny secret. we sent kate hardie—buckley to the resort of hodrusa—hamre to find out more. all competitors, take your place. get ready... go! welcome to the 2018 gold panning championships, a highly competitive gathering where emotions are running high. more than 500 competitors from 30 countries are here, hoping to strike gold. so, how does it all work?

organisers fill a bucket with sand and hide tiny specks of gold in it, flown all the way from california. then competitors race to find all of the flakes. each bucket will contain the same number. for every one you miss, five minutes is added to your time. would you like to hop in to trough12? eager to try it myself, i signed up for a lesson with british world champion daisy thurkettle. so, the first thing you're gonna need to do is pour that right into the centre of the pan and make, like, a bit ofa mountain. and then you're gonna do big, flat circles. 0k. yes, right under the water like that. perfect! what's really gonna help you with this is the specific gravity of gold — it's about six times heavier than everything else in your pan, so that means the gold really wants to hit the bottom of that pan and stay there, like a rock. bit more power than that. give it some welly! good!

that looks like championship panning. i really hope there is some gold in here! so shuffle and flatten and get everything in, like, a semicircle like that. i think i can see some gold sparkles. yes! it absolutely shines like a beacon, doesn't it? oh, i'm delighted. on yourfirst go! brilliant! fairly happy with that. right, cap on — you don't want to lose those babies! thanks so much, daisy. no problem! just beyond the championship site, there's plenty of evidence we're in a traditional mining town. it's hard to believe, but i've been told there's an estimated 70,000 euros worth of gold hidden within these piles of rocks here. itjust shows how important gold is to the area. it's very beautiful. richard is a local gold mine owner, as well as a panning enthusiast. richard, how extensive are all the mines here? but life was hard underground.

up until recently, the average miner lived to a0 years of age. over at the championship site, the race is back on. it's the women's final and the place is heaving with excitement. some of these women are so fast, they found their specks within under a minute. cheering and applause. with all the flakes counted, i met the new world champion. how do you feel right now? i'm pretty good!

it's been a long week, yeah. it's a tough competition, so... it's good. butjust when i thought it was all over... number 22, kate from bbc! so, i've been roped in to competing and i am absolutely terrified. take your place. get ready... go! women chant: bbc! bbc! it looks like i've got a fan club. woman: go, go, go, 90. 9°! thank you for the encouragement! oh, this is so tough. my back is about to break. but the adrenaline is keeping me going. ok, i've got some gold. i would've thought gold panning

was a rather relaxed, chilled sport, but this is anything but. ok, i think i'm done. woo! cheering and applause. thank you! so i haven't done too bad for my first go — i found 18 flakes. unfortunately, there's a beautiful sparkly one just here that i've missed, but i didn't finish last, so maybe a bit of beginner's luck. oh, no! i've missed loads. i later found out i actually came second last. so i think i've got what they call gold fever, and i'm off to find a stream to see if i can pan for some out here. what's wonderful about gold panning is you can have all the excitement and the rivalry and the noise,

the competition, but then you can come out here and it's just you, the river and, hopefully, a few flakes of gold. if today's programme has left you keen for more, you can see an extended version on bbc‘s iplayer. don't forget, we're also all over social media, so you can follow any of our feeds by clicking through from: until next time, from me, christa larwood and the rest of the travel show team here in paris, it's goodbye. we have been looking to the east for our weather for a while but we look to the west again this week. the atlantic comes back to life, deep areas of low pressure with that wetter, windier but milder.

this is a view from north wales earlier, there will be bigger waves hitting the coast this week as the winds pick up and we will see that in a moment. right now, a gentle flow of air coming in from the east giving us a few showers here and there. this is the picture this evening. some of these showers in the english channel over water rather than land, maybe in the far south—west and channel islands, but elsewhere a lot of dry weather this evening. we have seen a few showers in the far south—east and in north—east england as well and a few will continue, just clipping parts of the east of northern ireland and into eastern scotland. clear spells in the west of scotland will allow temperatures to dip away quite quickly overnight with a frost taking hold here and some of us down to “i! going into the morning. in fact, anywhere overnight when it is clear for any period of time, you can see temperatures in low single figures with a touch of frost, one or two mist and fog patches. we pick up the showers are still peppering eastern parts of scotland, across northern towards northern ireland and still feeding into the far south—east. these are overnight temperatures in towns and cities and of course

in the countryside and suburbs it will be colder than this. into tomorrow morning and still on this flow of air coming in from the east, showers peppering eastern scotland, eastern england, some in northern ireland but much of western scotland, wales and the west of england will be dry and fairly sunny which means, for some of us, more blue sky compared to today. still single figure temperatures and a frost for many on a monday night into tuesday morning. some mist and fog around as well. but on tuesday, the atlantic starts to roar back into life with a warm weather front coming through and another on wednesday with those isobars getting closer together. the winds pick up as the weather turns much more active the winds coming from the south—west, you can see from the colours, that means it is milder air coming in. you will notice temperatures heading up. tuesday, rain coming in from the west and south—west across all parts on wednesday and wednesday there will be gales in the north and west, even severe gales in places, that brings the possibility mid week of some potentially disruptive winds.

all part of a weather pattern which turns it much more unsettled this week, wet and windy at times but also much milder compared to where we are now. hello, good afternoon, you are watching bbc news. in a few minutes‘s times, we will have a full round up of it national and international news. before then, let's reflect on our main story today. you leaders have agreed on a withdrawal agreement, insisting it is the best and —— best possible deal. the 27 leaders gave their blessing to the agreement made with uk prime minister theresa may. theresa may said the deal offers a brighter future theresa may said the deal offers a brighterfuture for theresa may said the deal offers a brighter future for britain, and she is now urging mps and peers, as well as the public to support that.
