this is bbc news. the headlines at 8: theresa may urges parliament and the public to back her brexit deal after its endorsement at today's eu summit. 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 the country. jean—claude juncker, president of the european commission, issues a warning to those mps who think the eu can be persuaded to make further changes. this is the best deal possible for britain. possible for europe. this is the only deal possible. donald tusk, who chaired the summit, says the european union wants to remain as close as possible to the uk after brexit. regardless of how it will all end, one thing is certain. we will remain friends until the end of days. we'll have reaction to today's developments,

as well as a look ahead to what's expected in westminster this week. also in the news this evening: unsafe and poorly tested medical devices are being implanted into patients, according to a global investigation. police name a 16—year—old boy stabbed to death in coventry — jaydon washington james was found with serious injuries last night. eu leaders have given their formal backing to the agreement that will take the uk out of the european union in four months' time. theresa may said the deal offers a brighter future for britain, urging parliament and the public to support it. she was speaking after 27 other eu leaders signed off on two key

documents negotiated over the last 17 months. the main withdrawal agreement — outlining the terms on which we leave — provides for a transition period until at least the end of 2020. there is also a much shorter political declaration — which is not legally binding — but sets out hopes for an ‘ambitious partnership‘ with the eu in the future. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. no celebration, no fanfare, but a huge and serious step. after more than a0 years inside... deep breath — the deal to leave is done. there were 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. 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 in other areas, in order to achieve a result. i think the british people understand that. her bet — many of you are bored of the rows, the splits and spats. the officials who brokered the compromise watching on. before christmas, mps will vote on this deal. 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. can i ask you to be very straight with the public and tell us who, if anyone, you think is pleased about this deal? 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 have said before, i believe our best

days lie ahead of us. the eu's power players have agreed a brexit with caveats. a deal where the uk leaves next march but stays close to the union, with a lot of final detail yet to be agreed. ahead of us is the difficult process of ratification, as well as further negotiations. but, regardless of how it will all end, one thing is certain, we will remain friends until the end of days. and one day longer. it is time for everybody, everybody, to take their responsibilities. today's agreement will help create the trust and the confidence needed for negotiating our close and unprecedented future relationship. the agreement was hard—fought on both sides, even though sometimes it feels like eu leaders still can't quite

believe what's happening in front of their eyes. translation: it's tragic that the uk is leaving after 45 years. angela merkel said. but there may be more theatre to come. mps at home might kick out the deal. would they budge here, then? this is the deal, the best deal possible and the european union will not change its fundamental position when it comes to this issue. are you concerned? this is the best we can do. there are no winners today. they have been many moments when it is not being clear that

theresa may would make it this far. but her next steps, these vital few weeks, will determine the future and the future of the country. for the prime minister there is now only one direction for top she cannot know if parliament and the public will follow along. so what happens next — now that the brexit deal has been endorsed by eu leaders. as you've been hearing the biggest potential hurdle lies at westminster and mrs may's chances of getting the agreement through parliament next month. if mps do approve it — and it's a big if — it would then go to the european parliament for approval. if mps vote it down, then there are a number of possible consequences. they could try to force a re—negotiation — a general election — another referendum or we could leave without a deal. it's a battle theresa may has promised to fight with her heart and soul — but it could be an uphill one with many mps publicly speaking out against her deal.

this morning the dup's leader arlene foster confirmed that her 10 mps will vote against the deal and the snp's leader at westminster, ian blackford, told this programme that all of his party's 35 mps will reject the brexit deal. i think we all know the situation we are in that the prime minister does not have support for this so—called deal in parliament from her own party never mind the opposition. so we're going to go through this charade and she will try to win support in the next few days. we have five days of debate and ultimately i suspect it will be voted down. it is a deal that does not please anyone and certainly not those of us that wanted to stay in europe or accepted a compromise to stay in the single market or customs union. the brexiteers do not like it and the prime minister is presenting this as a deal but we have the agreement to leave the european union and the transition but we do

not know how long that will last because how do we affect long—term trade deal with europe now that we are out. what needs to happen in the next few days is that politicians of all parties have got to recognise the position in. we are already talking, and i think it is important and this is key, that we were allowed a no deal. there is no support for no deal in parliament. earlier, the justice minister, rory stewart told me why he's optimistic mps will vote through theresa may's brexit deal. there are very few people who want that deal. and there are very few people at parliament who want to rerun the referendum. then you're talking about a deal. and that deal is going to look very, very like this deal, so in the end, i think, sense has to prevail. because actually the people who are pushing for no deal are just so small. but what about the idea that there may be people who had been holding out,

thinking "well, we'll go with it because we can maybe make some twea ks" ? we've heard very clearly from europe today that there are no tweaks to be made. the deal is as it stands, and the idea people might vote it through in the hope there could be a bit more renegotiation, that is not up for grabs. no, and it's not reasonable, because in a negotiation of this sort, you have an individual, the prime minister, negotiating with over 20 other member states and the european commission. so it is not a situation where 650 people in parliament can amend and tweak. in the end it is an international treaty so has to be appropriate to both sides. two years of work and civil serva nts' time, it has gone into getting the best deal we can, and the question for parliament now is is you want this deal or no deal? the dup say they will vote against the deal. where are you getting your optimism from? my optimism is at the

end. he begins by saying that but nobody wants a no deal. he also acknowledges he wants to leave the european union or has accepted that we have two. weird talking about eu norway arrangements but this is very close to a lot of the advantages of norway with the added advantage of control over immigration. i cannot see how the snp and others would not in the end except that although they do not see it as ideal, it is better than a no deal and in the end we have to vote for this for the sake of the country. medical devices that are unsafe and haven't been adequately tested are ending up in patients, an investigation has revealed. bbc panorama — together with the international consortium of investigativejournalists, the guardian and the bmj — have been investigating how potentially dangerous products get approved. they found medical implants that

had failed in baboons, or were tested only on pigs and dead bodies, before coming onto the market. the industry says millions of people have benefited from devices like heart pacemakers and artificial knees and hips. deborah cohen has this report. medical devices can't transform our health. —— can. they keep us walking, seeing, and our hearts beating. there are thousands of companies trying to sell the latest gadgets. what they won't necessarily tell you is that new does not always mean safer or better, or that some devices might actually damage your health. here we go, that is where you put it. maureen mccleeve was the first person in the uk to be fitted with a new type of pacemaker that sits inside the heart. but the battery died after just three years, and doctors could not get it out. i don't like the thought that i've got a piece of metal in my heart that is doing nothing,

and it's just laying there. the pacemaker was withdrawn for safety reasons. at least two deaths and 90 events in which patients were seriously harmed by the device were recorded. our investigation also found an implant that was approved for humans, despite failing in a study on balloons. and a treatment for children with curved spines that was only tested on pigs and dead bodies before being approved for use in the uk. critics say medical devices should be tested more thoroughly, and the results of studies should be made public. as a patient, i would be terrified not to know the results. —— the adverse effects. but you have to have data in order to know if something is safe or dangerous. we are talking about people's lives, it is really important to know whether these devices

are safe or not. the european union has legislated to make the industry more transparent, but panorama understands the crucial information about medical devices will not be shared because it might scare the public. is not about scaring patients. that's the issue, you have to inform people even if it is one in a million, you have to tell people. that is immoral, unethical, and illegal, in my mind. the manufacturers say their products were tested thoroughly and met all regulatory requirements. the industry insists there are already proper checks in place to protect patients. debra cohen, bbc news. to get more on this story i'm joined via webcam by professor tom joyce, a medical engineerfrom the university of newcastle. thank you for coming in. you work looking at in plants but you are looking at in plants but you are looking at in plans by the time they have already got to the stage where they are being put in five people? that is right. we get to see the

implants when they come out of people so what we do in newcastle university is analyse them and try to understand if anything has gone wrong with them or gone with the right with them and then we share that information with surgeons so they can make the best decision for they can make the best decision for the patients they look after. you feature in the panorama programme, you have been involved in this investigation, because you're seeing some concerns that people have after these implants are coming out of people because essentially they have failed? can you hear me, professor joyce ? failed? can you hear me, professor joyce? i can now. you have been involved in the panorama programme because your experience is that you are now looking at implants at times which have failed and have let people down and that is a cause of concern for you and your colleagues?

it is indeed and then we begin to ask questions, how do they come to market, how where they tested, and then how are they followed up. our concerns are that as many others have said they tend to be a lack of transparency about the process. and we would rather know more about how these things were tested and how they came to market. then we would like to see all implants registered so we can see like to see all implants registered so we can see which are the best and patients can learn from that. that point about you not having access to information about these devices would surprise people. you are a medical professional but you say there is no transparency in the system for you to look at results perhaps of how they were tested in the first place. that is right, within europe we have little idea on what basis medical implants are

proved. so how they are tested, what tests were undergone and how a notified body has approved these particular implants. so we cannot assess them. people will be surprised because there are regulatory bodies and tests carried out by this seems to be secrecy about what level of attainment device must achieve to get the approvalfor it device must achieve to get the approval for it to be used device must achieve to get the approvalfor it to be used in device must achieve to get the approval for it to be used in five people? yes unfortunately that is the case, we have little information about how many medical devices are approved. we do not know how they are tested, whether they are tested in people or not. often we suspect they are not. there is a process called substantial equipment which means if a new implant comes along which are similar to something already on the market in the manufacture can declare it substantially equivalent and in those cases you do not necessarily need clinical trials. you would like

to see more transparency. the other thing you mentioned is you feel there needs to be an ongoing process once implants are put in five people to share notes, for people to feedback any problems and for some can register for devices letting people down? not necessarily devices letting people down but all devices, i think all devices that go inside people should be put into a registry to be tracked. we can do that with artificial hips and knees and cost just about £20 a time. if we could do that for a all implants we could soon identify which are the safest and the best. then patients would not necessarily have these concerns and this lack of knowledge that they have at the moment. they would know which are the best on the market and they could make the most important decisions. some of the work you looked at is spinal titanium implants for children and some of these had corroded and failed. but

this will make people worry, how concerned should people be if they are sitting with some kind implants and hearing these stories? is it a big problem or is it more of a niche problem not addressed properly? most medical devices and implants are incredibly positive devices which are life changing in a good way. i think the question i'm asking is when one of them goes wrong, how should we react to that, what should the regulators do. and can we try to improve the system for everyone in the future. if we have an aeroplane that has a battery you're concerned about their new ground that aircraft and wejust about their new ground that aircraft and we just want similar care about their new ground that aircraft and wejust want similar care and understanding for patients when they may claim that the implants have gone wrong. very good of you to share your thoughts with us. thank you very much. and you can see more on that story

on tomorrow night's panorama. that's the great implant scandal at 8.30pm on bbc1. west midlands police have named the teenager stabbed to death in coventry last night as jaydon washington james. the 16—year—old was found with serious injuries just before midnight. he died in hospital shortly afterwards. a murder investigation is underway. amy cole sent us this update. this has been described as a tragic incident which has shocked the local community here. west midlands police say they were contacted by their ambulance colleagues, following reports of a 16—year—old boy who was found injured at deedmore road in coventry at around 20 to midnight last night. the boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but was confirmed dead a short time later. two other teens with less serious injuries were also taken to hospital for treatment. now next of kin has been informed, and they're being supported by specialist officers.

today, the bbc has spoken to a family friend who has told us of their utter shock and devastation by what has happened. they say he was a quiet lad who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they're speculating this is gang—related. now west midlands police say they are working round—the—clock to establish what happened and to find those responsible. anyone with information is asked to get in contact with them. meanwhile, this is a community that's grieving and struggling to comprehend what has happened. amy cole, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may urges parliament and the public to back her brexit deal after its endorsement at today's eu summit. unsafe and poorly tested medical devices are being implanted into patients — according to a global investigation. police name a 16—year—old boy stabbed to death in coventry , jaydon washington james was found with serious injuries last night.

sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. after a run of three draws in a row in the premier league, arsenal won 2—1 at bournemouth. pierre emerick aubameyang scored the winner with 25 minutes to go. they took the lead through a first half own goal but the cherries equalised with a brilliant strike from joshua king. after aubameyang's goal bournemouth hit a post and wasted other chances but the gunners hung on and are now 17 matches unbeaten. they are still fifth but only three points behind spurs ahead of next sunday's north london derby. i am happy with our players, how they are working today, and our supporters are helping us. for the next week it is good.

we are going to play another match with a top team. it is a good moment for us to enjoy together. the most important is to win today. meanwhile huddersfield started the day bottom of the table but a 2—0 victory at wolves sees them move out of the relegation zone to 14th. it's been a great november for david wagner's side with 2 wins and a draw. two goals from aaron mooy helped them to a deserved victory. new republic of ireland manager mick mccarthy insists he's happy enough that he'll be replaced after the euro 2020 campaign. just a warning — there's some flash photography coming up. he was officially unveiled in dublin this afternoon — returning to the role 16 years after his first spell in charge. the fai have said dundalk boss stephen kenny will take over after the euros, managing the republic's under—21s in the meantime. the copa libertadores final between buenos aires rivals

boca juniors and river plate has been postponed again. violence before yesterday's second leg saw the match put back 2a hours. some boca players were injured as their bus was attacked by river plate fans on the way to the stadium in buenos aires, and organisers say it wouldn't be fair to stage the match this evening. a new date will be decided on tuesday. the formula i season has ended with a victory in the final race for the runaway world champion lewis hamilton. the first lap of the abu dhabi grand prix saw nico hulkenberg walk unhurt from this crash. he was stuck in his renault for a while saying on the radio he was "hanging like a cow". hamilton won for the eleventh time this season ahead of sebastian vettel. former champion fernando alonso finished eleventh in his final race in the sport. england were well beaten in the final of the women's world t20

in antigua this morning. they lost to australia by eight wickets. england, who are reigning one—day champions, were bowled out for 105. danni wyatt top—scoring with 43 and australia chased that down fro the loss ofjust two wickets with almost five overs to spare it's their fourth t20 world title. obviously really disappointed. i think when you lose a game that convincingly, it is not as hard to take. we were completely outplayed today, we know we did not bring our best game. but we have to take the good things we have had from this tournament and i could not be more proud of how the girls have fought, the character we showed, but obviously we did not have enough on the pitch today to make it. we will let it sink in a bit and reflect and make a plan moving forward. england's men are closing in on a series whitewash against sri lanka. they need just six wickets to win the final test with two days left to play in colombo.

jos buttler scored 64 before england were all out for 230 in their second innings. sri lanka closed on 53—4 — they still need another 274 for an unlikely victory. england are looking to become only the third side to complete a 3—0 series win in sri lanka. that's all the sport for now. some news that has been developing through the evening. talk of what was happening at the border between the us and mexico and now confirmed that all water traffic was halted at the busy crossing their in mexico according to the us customs and border detection agency. they say traffic in both directions has been suspended at the port of entry. you can see that twitter feed from the

us department of homeland security they also say pedestrian are suspended at both the east and west facility. we were trying to get more information as we have reports of some scuffles and several hundred central american migrants were reported to have pushed past the blockade of mexican police put up you will recall that these people wa nt to you will recall that these people want to pressure the us to hear their asylum claims, many of them carrying banners saying things like we re carrying banners saying things like were not terminals, with are international workers. mostly men wear hearing in that group although some women with small children and there has been a presence by the us border patrol with helicopters overhead and so on. but around 5000 migrants you may recall camped in around the sports complex in mexico in recent weeks and they have made their way through mexico in this ca rava n their way through mexico in this caravan as it has been described and hoping to apply for asylum. but we

know that donald trump is taking a ha rd know that donald trump is taking a hard line on this and so the latest as you can see from the us department of homeland security is that bad crossing between the two countries has been suspended. traffic unable to pass. documents believed to contain information about facebook‘s data privacy policies have been seized in london, on the instructions of a parliamentary committee. it's thought to be because mps on the culture, media and sport select committee, don't think facebook has been responding adequately to their questions. facebook says the material is legally restricted and shouldn't be viewed. our business correspndent joe miller has been giving me more details. it was a very rare use of a centuries—old parliamentary power, and here's what reportedly happened. the dcms select committee sent the sergeant—at—arms, who may be familiar to many viewers from parliamentary ceremonies, like the speaker's procession, they sent him to a hotel in london where an american tech executive was staying — he was visiting on a business trip.

and he had a stash of papers that he'd obtained through this court case mentioned there going on in california. now, the dcms select committee won't say how many documents there are, or exactly what's in them — there are reports they may contain private messages between mark zuckerberg and other facebook executives. we don't know that, but we do know, and damian collins — the chair who we heard from there — has said that the committee was moved to do this because it felt it wasn't getting adequate answers from facebook. it sounds rather dramatic. is it anything more than a stunt? well, this is coming after the committee's repeated attempts to get mark zuckerberg to appear before mps, and they've been rebuffed. and, to some extent, this is damian collins and the select committee using what few powers it has, even quite an ancient power, to send a message to facebook in silicon valley, to say "there are still things we can do to get hold of things that you don't

want us to get hold of," and i think they'll want to see this story, hit the american press, hit mark zuckerberg's inbox tomorrow, and see if it tempts facebook to come and actually talk to parliament. the ukrainian navy says a russian coastguard vessel has fired on two ukrainian gunboats in the kerch strait between russia and crimea. this is a major escalation of the simmering tension in the strait since russia opened a bridge linking its territory to the annexed crimean peninsula. the ukrainian navy has accused the russians of shooting to kill. it said two ukrainians had been injured and three vessels had been seized by russian special forces. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. hello. after days of easterly winds, and at times cloudy weather,

a complete change on the way in the coming days. the atlantic weather systems will start knocking on our door from tuesday onwards. monday still looking fine across the uk, that is if you don't mind those chilly eastern winds. this is what it looks like over the next few hours, so the wind out of the east continuing to drag in some cloud. further showers around across yorkshire, eastern scotland, and temperatures by early monday, above freezing in city centres. outside of town there will be a touch of frost, particularly across northern and north—western areas. tomorrow, very much an east west split. easterly wind will continue to bring a lot of thick clouds to the east of the country, so from london all the way to edinburgh, whereas in the west we will have some sunshine, so fine weather for places like cardiff, liverpool, and glasgow. tuesday morning onwards, those weather fronts start to line up in the atlantic and head our way, and on top of that increasing winds as well. this is the morning.
