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 kuenssberg 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 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 these issues. 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, as well as 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 her 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. mexico says it will deport around 500 migrants who broke through security and tried to rush the main border crossing between mexico and the united states. 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 this city.

as you said, the migrants set out on a peaceful protest, but they did get past a security cordon and then crossed a canal in order to reach the border wall itself, the border crossing itself. initially they just wanted to sort of make the point known that they wanted their asylum applications dealt with as soon as possible. but some, it seems, were perhaps intent 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, a 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 their asylum applications are indeed accepted by the trump administration. that's right.

i mean, i'm expecting this to probably go for months, not weeks, so certainly they will be here 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 how it would be 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's notjust one caravan now. the second and the third that were behind them, coming from el salvador and guatemala, have caught up with them here in this city. so they're all staying in the same place, 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 more than double that. the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in california's history has now been fully contained. the blaze known as the camp fire started more than two weeks ago. firefighters were able to extinguish the flames following several days of rain. the fire killed at least 85 people and destroyed thousands of buildings. almost 250 people are still unaccounted for. rallies across europe have brought tens of thousands of people onto the streets to mark the united nations‘ day for the elimination of violence against women. marchers in paris called for an end to impunity for abusers. in madrid, the names of 44 women killed in domestic violence were read out. there were similar marches in italy, greece and switzerland. nasa's first robotic lander is on course to touch down on mars

on monday night. the mars insight lander has been travelling through space for six months. but landing on the red planet is far from simple. most missions fail in the final moments. if everything does go to plan, the mars insight will study and monitor the depths of the planet until 2020. the ukrainian president, petro poroshenko, says he will ask parliament to declare martial law after russian special forces seized three ukrainian navy vessels. ukraine says six of its crew members were injured when russian forces opened fire in the kerch strait, off the coast of crimea, which was annexed by russia in 2014. the kremlin has accused the ukrainian ships of breaching its territorial waters. joining me now here in the studio our correspondent lebo diseko.

conflicting statements as to what is going on. what do we know? let's just go back to where it happened. you mentioned the kerch strait, it is really important because it is the only way into the azov sea. that is territorial waters, it is supposed to be shared by both russia and ukraine so they are both supposed to be able to have access to this water. earlier on three ukrainian vessels tried to go into the azov sea. they were blocked by a russian vessel, and russia says the ukrainians went into their territorial water. they were blocked and then there was this shooting, and then there was this shooting, and as you mentioned, six ukrainian crew members were hurt, that is according to the ukrainians. russia says it was just three crew members who were hurt and not very seriously, so conflicting reports about the number of people hurt

their. conflicting reports, internationally there is a lot of reaction coming through. exactly, shortly before we came on air there was a tweet from the us ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, saying there would be an emergency meeting of the security council, that was requested both russia and ukraine as well. you can imagine both sides blaming each other, russia saying ukraine went into its territorial waters, petro poroshenko calling russia's actioned unprovoked and crazy. 0n calling russia's actioned unprovoked and crazy. on monday mps in ukraine will vote on whether to declare martial law. there has also been quite strong statements from the eu and also nato. both have said they wa nt to and also nato. both have said they want to see de—escalation of this, and nato has as well as appealing for restraint said that russia needs to respect ukraine's sovereignty and its territorial integrity. and it

must ensure unhindered access to ukrainian ports in the sea. and relations between the countries very fractious, eastern ukraine are very problematic situation. you just have to look at a map to see why this is such an issue. this water has ukraine to the north, crimea to the west and russia to the east, so you can see why there would be such tensions. the international community don't want things to spiral out of control. they don't wa nt spiral out of control. they don't want things to get any more inflamed than they already are. for ukraine, those ports are really important for the economy. for russia, by blocking them, they get to have a little bit ofan impact them, they get to have a little bit of an impact on ukraine as well. we will have to see how this unfolds, but a lot of concern internationally. thank you for talking us through that. when a powerful earthquake hit the indonesian island of sulawesi, whole villages were swallowed up by the earth. two months on, our indonesia editor rebecca henschke has been back to meet the survivors from some of the communities that were wiped

off the map. for the first time, three—year—old fiona and her surviving family have come back to see what has become of their home. translation: it's really hard to see this. ifeel very sad. i have lots of memories here, and so many people are buried here. it is an almost unrecognisable landscape to them, and they struggle to find where their house is buried. these satellite images of petobo, taken before and after the huge quake hit, the earth here turning the liquid. fiona was carried to safety in the arms of her 11—year—old brother. translation: i was terrified. there were waves of mud, like an earth tsunami. his mother, who told them to run,

was found buried holding their baby sibling. they are one of the few families that have a grave to grieve over. his family call him a hero, but it is not a title he wants. when the search was called off here, this area was declared a mass grave, land so significantly changed, it is unlikely communities will ever rebuild here. temporary houses are being built on higher ground, but families wait in tents in camps across the city, in the scorching sun. in one, we meet this lady, who says she is 106 years old, and has lived through many earthquakes and a tsunami before, this one by far the strongest. translation: i held tightly onto my bed.

my body got thrown around like a rag doll. i prayed and prayed. what is your secret to living such a long life, living in an area prone to natural disasters? you have to stay true to your heart, and have to watch what you say about others. on top of the rubble where the tsunami hit, this coffee shop has been built from salvaged items, a creation by a local artist — a way, he says, to bring back life and hope to a place of horror and fear. you are watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: an international investigation reveals that unsafe medical devices are being implanted into patients. also on the programme: a new scheme in new zealand to encourage men to get their testicles checked, without having to see a doctor. president kennedy was shot down

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. i'm kasia madera in london. our top stories: after 20 months of negotiation, european union leaders endorse the terms of a brexit deal. russian special forces have seized three ukrainian navy vessels off the coast of crimea, in a sharp escalation of tensions. the final of the south american club football championship, the copa libertadores, has been postponed for the second day running. the match in the argentine capital between the local rivals, boca juniors and river plate, was first suspended on saturday after the boca team bus was attacked. a number of players were hurt and taken to hospital. 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 party suffering big losses, the report says china is expected to welcome closer relations with taiwan's city officials. the front page of the japan times carries a picture of some gravity defying art. it shows an entrant in the men's amateur pole dancing competition in tokyo performing a routine that simulates walking in the air. medical devices that

are unsafe and have not been adequately tested are ending up inside patients' bodies, an investigation has revealed. bbc panorama, together with the international consortium of investigativejournalists, the guardian newspaper and the british medicaljournal, investigated how potentially dangerous products get approved. they found medical implants that had failed in baboons, or were tested only on pigs and dead bodies, were coming onto the market. the industry says it has transformed millions of lives for the better.

deborah cohen reports. here we go, look, that's where you put it. medical devices keep our hearts beating and seeing. there are thousands of companies trying to sell the latest gadgets. what they won't tell you is that new doesn't a lwa ys won't tell you is that new doesn't always mean safer or better. maureen mccleave 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 baboons. 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. europe doesn't have a governmental body that approves medical devices. they are checked by private companies, called notified bodies, instead. there are 58 of them, and approval by one means a product can be used anywhere in europe. as a patient, i would be terrified not to know the adverse event data. 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 that crucial information about medical devices will not be shared, because it might scare the public. it's not about scaring patients,

there are risks. that's the issue and you have to inform p sheet —— people. even if it is one in a million. it's immoral, unethicaland illegal, in my mind. the manufacturers say their products were tested thoroughly, and met all regulatory requirements. and the industry insists there are already proper checks in place to protect patients. deborah cohen, bbc news. ever thought of getting a health check but worried about having to, well, drop your pants? meet the testimatic. that's a booth to allow new zealand men to have their testicles checked without having to face a doctor. testicular cancer is the number one cancer in young men in western nations, and it's hoped that the booth can help reduce the stigma around men getting themselves tested. 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, pull the shower curtain around and attached to the shower cubicle is another cubicle where there's a medical

professional, a urologist ora gp. when the man goes in, he pulls the curtain around, he drops his pants and there is a little hole in the wall down between the thigh and the waist and the medical professional put his hands through there and performs an examination of the testicles, it's really quite straightforward. very straightforward and how soon do they get the results? 0h, they get the results straightaway. one of the big advantages is no eye contact. guys are really shy about these things so it is somewhat anonymously but when the doctor has done the check, he's able to just verify that everything is ok. then they both step outside the booths and have a conversation and the patient is reassured that, in most cases anyway, that everything is ok and life can go on.

that is true, life must go on and i agree with you, mr woodside, i am shy too. so most probably i will try one of these booths if they get here to asia. but tell me, this testimatic booth was launched 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 this at a show here in auckland called big boys toys where there's lots of fancy cars and motorbikes and boats and barbecues and all of these sorts of things that guys get excited about. and we thought it was just a bit of a gimmick and it would be a great way to get the conversation going about guys getting their testicles checked, and we had about 200 guys actually line up and actually go through the booth and get a physical check. you have been watching newsday.

well, for days and days now we've had those persistent chilly easterly winds bringing at times very grey weather with some showers. a different story for the week ahead. the winds will switch direction, they will be coming off the atlantic bringing spells of very wet, very windy weather but much milder weather. monday on the other hand is still looking fairly bright but it will be cool. so this is what it looks like early hours of monday morning. still the winds blowing out of the east. you can just about make out the arrows there. the weather fronts are behind me, out in the atlantic, some hundreds if not a thousand miles away from us. ahead of that, the weather is quiet. a touch of frost in the countryside but in city centres it's around three or four degrees first thing on monday. the forecast suggests on monday that many eastern parts of the uk will be cloudy. there will be one or two showers affecting the north—east of england, maybe yorkshire too. but if you live in western areas of the uk, plenty of sunshine. western parts of wales, the lake district,

into western scotland, the weather is looking absolutely fine on monday. early on tuesday, we'll see the first weather fronts advancing. we will see winds freshening in south—western parts of the uk and then the rain reaches us. this is around early in the morning, reaching south—western england, wales, then eventually northern ireland, and by the middle of the afternoon, the thinknig is that rain will be across central parts of the uk. many eastern parts of the country will stay dry throughout tuesday after some mist and fog in the morning. wednesday, low pressure is well and truly in charge of our weather. you can see a big low there across the north atlantic stretching almost from iberia to iceland. we're right in the middle of this area of low pressure. look at these winds go. gale forced winds around many western coasts. severe gales in places so they're really strong, gusty winds. on top of that, we've got spells of heavy rain. these are the average wind speeds. to get a gust, usually double these, so that means maybe 40mph gusts inland, for example, in london. much stronger further north. look at the temperatures — 14 in london. double figures even in scotland. the low pressure still with us on thursday. weather fronts spiralling in and towards the centre of the low pressure, bringing us again

spells of heavy rain, and here is one spell of heavy rain during the middle of the afternoon. it would have been here in the morning and then sweeping during the day northwards. behind it you can see breaks in the cloud, breaks between the various bands of rain. still mild on thursday, relatively speaking, although it probably won't feel like it because of the strength of the wind. and guess what? there's low pressure over us on friday once again. a lot of isobars here and that can only mean one thing, gale force winds. i'm kasia madera, with bbc news. our top story: after 20 months of negotiations, eu leaders in brussel have approved the terms of the brexit agreement. the focus is now on westminster where the deal must be ratified by the british parliament. the prime minister, theresa may, has warned opponents of the agreement that it's the only one on offer. russian special forces have seized three ukrainian navy vessels off the coast of crimea, in a sharp escalation of tensions. ukraine's president is to ask
