in brussels, where in a milestone for the brexit process, eu leaders have approved the terms of the agreement that will take the uk out in march next year. the focus now shifts from brussels to westminster, where the deal must be ratified by the british parliament. laura kuennesberg reports from brussels. 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 the spats, the officials who have 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've 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 still feels like eu leaders still can't quite believe what is happening in front of their eyes. "it's tragic that the uk's 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, it's the best deal possible, and the european union will not change its fundamental position when it comes to this issue. are you concerned that the prime minister will not get this deal through the british parliament? i think it's not now our concern. it is the british concern. this is the max we can all do. both theresa may and her government, and also the european union, no victors here today, nobody winning, we are all losing.

there have been many moments when it has not been clear that theresa may would make it this far, but her next steps in these vital few weeks will determine our future, and the future of the country, too. for the prime minister, there is now only one direction. she can't know if parliament and the public will follow along. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. the main border crossing between mexico and the united states has been closed after migrants broke through a security perimeter in the city of tijuana. tensions have been high since the arrival of thousands of migrants earlier this month. many had departed from honduras last month saying they were fleeing poverty and violence. earlier i spoke to our correspondent will grant about what is happening at the border. well, things are gradually getting back to normal after what has been a very, very tense day in the city. as

you said, the migrants set out on a peaceful protest but they did plaster cast security cord then crossed a canal in order to reach the border wall itself, the border crossing itself. initially theyjust wa nt to crossing itself. initially theyjust want to reach the border wall itself, the border crossing itself. initially they just wanted the sort of make a point known that they wa nted of make a point known that they wanted their asylum applications dealt with as soon as possible. but some, it seems, were perhaps intend on trying to get across if they could. the united states‘ side of the border responded by shutting the border down. it was shut down in both directions. and tear gas was fired, and some of the migrants were affected by that tear gas. so yes, it‘s been a very intense, are very sort of elevated day in terms of the emotion. indeed, emotions are very high on the border, and for these migrants who are fleeing their respective countries, it will be a long wait to see if there is asylum applications are indeed accepted either trump administration. —— i

trump administration. that's right. iam trump administration. that's right. i am expecting this to possibly go for months, not weeks, so certainly they will be hit through christmas and well into the new year. and i heard some people near the border who have knowledge of how the process works talking about it being as far as march before they actually get a look in. let‘s bear in mind that those who are crossing now have been here waiting for upwards of three months already, and that was before the migrant caravan arrived. and the other thing to bear in mind is that it is notjust one caravan, now. the second in the third that we re now. the second in the third that were behind them, coming from el salvador and guatemala, have caught up salvador and guatemala, have caught up with them in this city, and resources a re up with them in this city, and resources are being stretched very, very thinly indeed, causing those tensions to rise. also making news today: the ugandan president believes the operators of an unlicensed vessel which capzied on lake victoria will be prosecuted. at least 29 people are known to have died and many are still missing. the vessel was designed to transport 50 people, but is said to have been carrying

what is happening, butjust what do we know about this situation? well, that bit of water, the kerch strait, is important because it is the only way into the sea which both russia and ukraine are supposed to share. now, earlier on the ukrainian vessels, three of them, tried to sail into the sea. they were blocked bya sail into the sea. they were blocked by a russian tanker underneath a bridge which really provides the only way it into the water that they are supposed to share. now, russia then shot at the ukrainian vessels, and there is a dispute about how many people were injured. the ukrainians say six of their crew we re ukrainians say six of their crew were injured. russia saysjust ukrainians say six of their crew were injured. russia says just three people were injured, and not very seriously. and when it comes to responsibility, there is a lot of finger—pointing going on. responsibility, there is a lot of finger-pointing going on. both sides blame each other, as you would expect. ukraine accuses russia of aggression. russia says that they we re aggression. russia says that they were provoked by ukraine, and

ukraine was in its territorial waters. as you said, the ukrainian president is to ask parliament to impose martial law, so there‘s quite a bit to watch there. and there has also been international reaction, a statement from the eu urging both parties to de—escalate the situation immediately. i am parties to de—escalate the situation immediately. iam not parties to de—escalate the situation immediately. i am not sure how much that will help. a slightly stronger statement from nato appealing for restraint and saying it fully supports ukraine‘s sovereignty and its territorial integrity, including navigation rights in its territorial waters. and briefly, if you will, the relationship between ukraine and russia is so fraught, it is so fractious, this is just russia is so fraught, it is so fractious, this isjust going to convert it things even more. absolutely, and as you set the background to this is the annexation of crimea, and really the breakdown in hostilities between the two sides, and what nobody wants is an escalation, are ramping up of the hostilities between the two. when a powerful earthquake hit

of november 2008, militants of the lashkar—e—taiba group, an islamic militant group from pakistan, launched simultaneous attacks in mumbai. they lasted three days and left more than 170 people dead, including nine of the ten gunmen. the 60—hour siege targeted luxury hotels, mumbai‘s main railway station and a jewish cultural centre. the event continues to cast a shadow on relations between india and pakistan. earlier i wasjoined by dr sajjan gohel from the london school of economics about the significance of the attacks a decade on. you are looking at an attack that was co—ordinated involving multiple unmanned irma involving multiple

locations. what was also significant is the fact that these gunmen were being handled, looking at the television screens, seeing how it was being reported. from that, they were telling the government where to go, who to kill. it set a precedent on how news media and social media was utilised for terrorism and set the precedent for being on the road in attack. this paris later that it was the start of it in mumbai. interesting that you say that the attackers were monitoring, their handlers were monitoring, their handlers were monitoring the tvs. 0f monitoring, their handlers were monitoring the tvs. of course social media wasn‘t as prolific as used as it is now. how does it change in today‘s circumstances? if that was now, the use of social media would have just been overwhelming. now, the use of social media would have just been overwhelmingm now, the use of social media would have just been overwhelming. it is worrying to think how much more deadly it would have been if social

media was as active back then as it is now. we know that terrorism use news media and social media as the oxygen news media and social media as the oxyg e n to news media and social media as the oxygen to get attention. it is also to plot and ship plan. the lashkar—e—taiba group was seen as one of the moss in this —— is sophisticated. they had carried out other attacks before but this time they raised the stakes. they didn‘t just target indians but americans, the american jewish cultural centre. so there was an element of international agenda in the lashkar—e—taiba. international agenda in the lashkar-e-taiba. i touched upon the way that this attack had damaged difficult relations already between india and pakistan. how do these two countries overcome what was such a horrific attack and the kind of, ove 1120 m e horrific attack and the kind of, overcome the legacy of this? in many ways, the legacy of mumbai is still being felt. india and pakistan used to play bilateral cricket series. that now stopped. they will only play each other if it is in the

world cup. cricket is such an important sport of both countries but unfortunately that has suffered. when prime minister mahendra modi was elected as you years ago, he went to know why sharif, the pratt president of pakistan, it was seen asa president of pakistan, it was seen as a positive step to go to his daughter ‘s wedding. —— nawaz. the relationship went back a few steps again. everytime it looks like a positive sign, something deteriorates. dr sajjan gohel reflecting on the legacy of the mumbai attacks ten years on. let‘s take a look at some front pages from around the world. the front page of the straight times from singapore is dominated by its reporting of eu countries approving the brexit deal. the article explains how prime minister theresa may is now facing an uphill task of getting the package through a deeply divided parliament. south china morning post talks about china eyeing new openings in taiwan after the local elections over the weekend. with the independence leaning ruling

a little earlier i was joined by graeme woodside from testicular cancer new zealand to discuss the campaign. it is like a shower cubicle that men go into. attached to the shower cubicle is another cubicle where there is a medical professional, and urologist or the gp. when a man goes m, urologist or the gp. when a man goes in, he calls the curtain around and drops his pants and there is a whole in the wall between desai and the waste and the medical professional put his hands through there and performs an examination of the testicles. —— between the thigh and

the waist. 0ne testicles. —— between the thigh and the waist. one of the things is no eye co nta ct. the waist. one of the things is no eye contact. guys are really shy about these things so it is somewhat anonymous but when the doctor has done the cheque, he is able to just verify that everything is ok —— done the check. they step outside the booth and have a conversation and the patient is reassured that everything is ok and life can go on. that is true, life will must go on andi that is true, life will must go on and i agree with you, i am shy to some most probably i will try one of these booth if it comes to asia. tell me, these are truths were lodged about 2—3 weeks ago and about 200 men have tried it out. what has been the feedback? are they feeling more comfortable with it, especially with the privacy issue? we were really surprised because we launched it in really surprised because we launched itina really surprised because we launched it in a show here in auckland called

big boys toys where there are lots of fa ncy big boys toys where there are lots of fancy cars and motorbikes and barbecues and all of these sorts of things that guys get excited about. we thought it was a bit of a gimmick and it would be a great way to get the conversation going about guys getting their testicles chip. we had about 200 guys actually line up and go through the booth and get a physical check. fascinating interview and that is being launched in new zealand. a very important public health warning. and before we go, we‘d like to leave you with these pictures. at first glance this looks like just another rock concert, except it was held in one of indonesia‘s most notorious prisons on the paradise island of bali. 13 bands formed by prisoners from severaljails and detention centers in bali competed in the first—ever prison music festival on saturday. the music festival aims to encourage new talent —
