good morning, welcome to breakfast. i'm naga munchetty here in westminster, where theresa may will today begin the big sell of her brexit deal with the eu. the prime minister will warn mps that if they don't back the deal they risk more division and uncertainity. in parliament and beyond it, i will make the case for this deal with all my heart. and i look forward to that campaign. however, she's facing a huge challenge. with all the opposition parties, the dup and dozens of tory backbenchers saying they wont support it. so what does business make of the deal? i'm at this webbing factory in loughborough to find out what a family business and workers think. also this morning: tensions escalate after russia opens fire and seizes three ukranian naval vessels off the coast of crimea. mission to mars — a robotic probe is due to land on the red planet after an incredible 90 million milejourney.

what a way to end the season — a fifth fi world championship already in the bag, he signed off with a pole—to—flag victory in the abu dhabi grand prix. a chilly start to the week, showers in the east, some sunshine in the west, but it is turning mild, wet and windy. i'll have more details on breakfast. good morning. it's monday, the 26th of november. theresa may will today begin a campaign to rally support for her brexit withdrawal plan. mps are likely to vote on it on december 12th. later this morning the prime minister will hold a cabinet meeting before making a statement to mps in the commons. but the opposition parties, the dup and many of her own backbenchers have already said they will oppose the plan. our political correspondent alex forsyth has more. theresa may arrived home yesterday with the ink fresh on the deal that

will take us out of the eu. in brussels, she got the backing of eu leaders. now, she must sell it to sceptical mps and the public. 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, 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. there are two parts to this deal. the withdrawal agreement deals with our exit. there will be a transition period after we leave in march when not much changes until december 2020, so new arrangements can be worked out. it settles the divorce bill and guarantees the rights of eu and uk citizens living abroad. and it contains that controversial backstop plan, to avoid a hard irish border if there is no trade deal. then there is a political declaration, which talks about an ambitious future partnership in trade. free movement will end. but the details haven't been

agreed, and this document isn't legally binding. the prime minister and other eu leaders say this deal is the best it gets. back home, many disagree. what she's created satisfies very, very few people. so the chances of getting this deal through parliament, i think, is effectively nil. here, all the opposition parties and many conservative mps have said they won't support this deal, so the challenge for the prime minister is to try and win them round before a crucial vote in a few weeks. i'm joined by our political correspondent ben wright. this is a battle, isn't it, for theresa may to get the votes to get the deal through? theresa may to get the votes to get the dealthrough? it is theresa may to get the votes to get the deal through? it is an extraordinary uphill struggle and it will be the most momentous two weeks

anyone of us will have seen in politics and that is saying something over the last two or three. the consequences of this are so enormous three. the consequences of this are so enormous and the end result is so unpredictable at the moment. we know that she faces a massive task getting this through because she has 80 tory mps who have said they don't wa nt 80 tory mps who have said they don't want this, including many brexiteers who think that the deal is a sell—out and a betrayal of what they thought brexit was about. at the same time remainers on the tory side are asking about the point in leaving the eu if these other terms we have to accept. labour oppose the government, the dup look to vote against it, you can't see how she can get the numbers to get this the line. however, this is very fluid and the prime minister's strategy is to ta ke and the prime minister's strategy is to take this over the heads of parliament, appealed to voters directly through the prime minister wa nts to directly through the prime minister wants to put pressure on mps and businesses. this could move a lot in the next fortnight. what will she do over the next two weeks, she will travel around the country? yes, the theresa may roadshow and she will

say this is the only possible deal, i got it in the face of brussels opposition and if you want brexit, this is the only deal to deliver it. there is something in that. the default if the deal is not accepted would be for the eu to leave without a deal on something extra ordinary happens and new legislation is brought in to create another referendum, or unless there is a referendum, or unless there is a referendum the consequences of which no one could predict, this could ricochet in any number of directions, that is her argument, this deal or no deal. thank you. there's plenty of brexit analysis still to come on breakfast this morning. at 6:40am, i'll speak to journalists from france and germany to hear what the reaction has been there to theresa may's plan. and we will be talking to lots of politicians throughout the programme as well. dan has the rest of today's news. good morning. thank you very much for that. we will be back with you through the morning. we have plenty to discuss here for you as well. let's start with some of the other

news stories this monday morning. russia has seized three ukrainian naval vessels off the coast of crimea. in an escalation of tensions between the countries, moscow said the ships had breached its territorial waters. the ukrainian president has described it as an act of aggression. 0ur correspondent lebo diseko has more. russian fighter jets in the kerch straits. this stretch of water is the only way in and out of the sea of azov, which ukraine and russia share. russia says three ukrainian vessels illegally entered its waters. first it blockaded them, then it fired at them. ukraine says six of its sailors were hurt, while the russian security service says only three were wounded, and were getting medical care. in kiev, ukraine's president, petro poroshenko, described the russian actions as unprovoked and crazy. mps they will vote on whether to introduce martial law on monday. ukraine's key ports are in the sea of azov, but since russia annexed crimea four years ago, it is able to block access in and out of the kerch straits.

overnight in kiev, there were protests outside russia's embassy, these events like salt in wounds that have not healed. both sides have asked for an emergency meeting of the un security council, which will be held on monday morning, the hope being that this crisis doesn't escalate any further. the royal college of surgeons is calling for compulsory registration of every medical device or implant put into a patient in the uk. the proposal comes after an investigation by media organisations around the world found evidence of inadequate testing and faulty equipment. the devices include heart pacemakers, rods to correct spines, and artificial knees and hips. the medicines and healthcare regulator says medical technology has "improved and transformed countless lives". you can see more on the investigation in tonight's panorama, at 8:30pm on bbc one. mexico says it will deport a group

of migrants who attempted to force their way across the border into the united states. mexican officials say around 500 ran towards the fence that separates the two countries at the busiest crossing on the border, near the city of tijuana. us security forces have now reopened the border crossing after closing it for several hours. rail passengers who are not happy with how operators have dealt with their complaints will now be able to appeal to an independent ombudsman. all of the uk's national train operators have signed up to the independent body, which means they will be obliged to take action if failings are identified. the new service is being funded by train operators and can be used by customers if their complaint has not been resolved within a0 working days. we are very aware that we have lost the trust of many of our passengers a specially after what happened with

the may timetable and we are going to work hard to try to get it back and this is part of that process. after six months in space, the nasa insight mission to mars is due to land on the red planet later today. once there, it will start a series of experiments, including drilling 15 feet underground. this is the first time that scientists have looked deep beneath the surface of any planet other than earth. from nasa mission control in pasadena, here's our science correspondent victoria gill. they call it seven minutes of terror. at this last stage of its journey to mars, nasa's insight lander would need to slow itself down from almost 20,000 kilometres per hour to a safe landing speed. this is the full—size model? this is the full—size life—size model of the insight lander. these are our beautiful solar rays that are gorgeous. it will power everything on the lander. insight is doing amazing science on the surface of mars. we like to say we are giving mars its first checkup in four billion years. before any martian

science can begin though, the pressure of a safe touchdown will trigger a beacon to be sent back to earth — insight‘s first call home. once we land, we'll get a message back from the spacecraft that says it thinks it's safe and then we have to obviously check on our spacecraft as well and make sure that it really is in asafe state but, man, when we get that first indication our hearts are just going to explode. it will be really exciting. insight‘s robotic arm will carefully put down a seismonetre, detecting any vibrations from martian earthquakes or "marsquakes". and this will be the first robot to drill deep into mar‘s surface, in an effort to understand the structure of this planet. back at mission control, these measurements will allow scientists to step back in time and work out exactly how rocky bodies like mars, earth and the moon actually formed 4.5 billion years ago. just one more detail in the effort to help this spacecraft lands on its feet on a planet almost 150

million kilometres away. victoria gill, bbc news, at nasa'sjet propulsion laboratory, california. amazing. it might only be november and some might say it's too early to get in the festive spirit, but there's someone who's been practicing his season's greetings already. merry christmas. this is mike the magpie. he lives in lancashire with his owners steve and janine, who say he came out with the phrase after hearing it on his favourite radio station. it'll be mike's first christmas with the family after he was rescued as a chick earlier this year, so only time will tell how their tree will get on, given mike's love of shiny things. they tried to free him but he decided to hang around. they tried to free him but he decided to hang aroundlj they tried to free him but he decided to hang around. i love christmas. do you want to hear him go for it again? please. wishing us america is most. merry christmas. what do you think? are we sure that

is what he is saying? what else is he saying? i don't know. one more? really? what else could he possibly... , on? listen very carefully. merry christmas. -- come on. laughter. iam carefully. merry christmas. -- come on. laughter. i am all on my own. i can do what i like. between 7am and 7:30am we have non—stop magpie half an hour. i love that they am not superstitious, they have one magpie. they tried to release him. mike is very brave with their dog. doctor dolittle. how do you feel about a back tat? are you offering? can i have bbc breakfast tattooed across my shoulder? quite a lot of

commitment to have your back tattooed, but there is one man who has shown us the artwork on his back, that man, lewis hamilton. we will show you something incredible. lewis hamilton ended the formula i season in style. we didn't get a good look. he'd already won his fifth world title, and he added victory in the abu dhabi grand prix to sign off on a high. he is putting it back on. the champagne was spraying everywhere. he took off his top and everyone was like, what is he doing? giving a bit of that. saying that is what has got him through the season. that is tricky to see. maybe at the end of the bulletin you can think what you would have across your shoulder. the bulletin you can think what you would have across your shoulderlj know the answer to that already,

nothing. england are edging towards a series whitewash in sri lanka. the home side are digging in but but they're still way short of their victory target on day four of the third test in colombo. arsenal's unbeaten run now stands at 17 games, after they beat bournemouth to move to within a point of the top four in the premier league. and johnny sexton was named world rugby‘s player of the year, as ireland swept the board at the awards in monaco. yes, still nothing. nothing. you can't really see it. some say that is the point. you know, with your shirt and tie, you don't know...m isa shirt and tie, you don't know...m is a tattooed. it is just body paint. i am actually naked. oh, dear. sorry, that is a terrible thought. we will come back with the papers very shortly. where was that picture

early on? that was gorgeous. the one you had was beautiful. a lovely shot here. a bit of a chilly start this morning. a widespread frost across western areas and with the wind still in the east the moment, continuing with the cold thing today. things are changing, turning milder. with it, spells of heavy rain and in the middle of the week, potential for disruptive winds as well. at the moment, it's fairly quiet. tomorrow will bring wet and windy weather. it is all out there at the atlantic at the moment but being held at bay by an easterly float still off europe. it is bringing showers of eastern scotland and central eastern england this morning. 0ne and central eastern england this morning. one or two to northern ireland as well. the showers wintry across the likes of the grampians at the showers to the west will fade

away through today. increasing amounts of sunshine here. you start the day we showers across eastern parts and it will continue into the afternoon. it is the finer details for this afternoon because if anything, increasing amounts of sunshine in the west after a fairly cloudy start for many. still the wind chill over the hills in eastern scotla nd wind chill over the hills in eastern scotland and one of two showers. most of which is —— much of western england and wales stays dry. some of the heaviest across east anglia and kent. we start to lose that real easterly wind as we go into tonight. a few will continue through eastern coastal districts. clear skies further north but mist and fog as well. the breeze is picking up and here comes the change tomorrow. rain on its way tomorrow for northern

ireland, wales, south—western england. the rain will last for about one or two hours and maybe some snow for a short while. but parts of eastern england and scotla nd parts of eastern england and scotland state drive during daylight hours. temperatures pick up. —— dry. chris bell of wet and windy weather coming from this area of low pressure out towards the west as we go into wednesday. that the arrest of the rain is going to be more persistent across parts of northern ireland and eventually western scotland. showery rain elsewhere but widespread winds into 50 or 60 mph and could hit 70 or 75 mph across scotla nd and could hit 70 or 75 mph across scotland later. the big change is the temperatures. note them. 11—14 degrees. we have not seen temperatures into the teens for some time. it continues into friday that until then a story of sunshine and showers. we start cold that it gets

milder but also wet and windy. let's take a look at the papers — we are on our own today, sally. the reason i am here we are on our own today, sally. the reason i am here on we are on our own today, sally. the reason i am here on my lonesome is naga is out today on the street. most of today's front pages lead on the latest brexit developments. the times describes the prime minister's upcoming campaign to sell her deal as "frantic". it calculates the number of tories threatening to rebel at "up to 90". the front page also features a story we're bringing you this morning — the news that russian forces have seized three ukrainian navy vessels off the coast of crimea. brexit is also on the front of the guardian, which reports mrs may will hold a meeting with her cabinet today. but the paper's top story is on the news that medical devices which are unsafe have been used on patients around the world. the telegraph says the pm is planning to challenge labour leaderjeremy corbyn to a tv debate as part of an "election—style campaign" to sell her deal.

and finally the mail also uses the word "frantic" to describe the weeks that lay ahead for the pm. and there's a photo of the duke and duchess of sussex, who are moving to a cottage in the grounds of windsor castle. wright it's actually a ten bedroom cottage. i will find out the details. apparently the nation is falling in love on i'm a celebrity. we have jeremy wilson talking falling in love on i'm a celebrity. we havejeremy wilson talking about why harry redknapp is so popular in thejungle why harry redknapp is so popular in the jungle and it is quite desperate

it is because he is being himself. perhaps he is frustrating at times but at times he will leave his house with a spring in his step and more enthusiasm for anyjob with a spring in his step and more enthusiasm for any job than with a spring in his step and more enthusiasm for anyjob than he had before. he loves telling stories thatis before. he loves telling stories that is a far more astute than you might think. his mantra is simple, the people what —— feel good about themselves. tell them what they can do and not what they can't. they have are being very kind to each other, there is a natural part of positivity in the camp. he is an old—fashioned manager, in a way. build people up, make them feel good. i love it. what else have you got? this is i don't like mondays. it is because newcastle have lost their last ten games. what are we

shopping for this morning? funeral cover? let's not. anyway, rafa benitez is trying to break the record. he says that is white records are there, to be broken. --y. do you tell others what you wa nt --y. do you tell others what you want for christmas? the front page of the times, bulky presence are not good any more, they expect big day is out. traditional offerings like clothing, books and gadgets are being overlooked in favour of something left —— less tangible, the gift of experience. tickets, comedy

shows, beauty treatments, meal vouchers, culinary courses, things like that. you would open up a flight like that. you would open up a flight tickets offer the right back in the olden days. talking about the olden days? allan you remember, you are too young, i suppose that you print off your receipt. it's not the same. “— print off your receipt. it's not the same. —— as a kid, i remember opening a rapt bike and it was one of the most exciting things ever. -- wrapped. i asked my mum foreign office chair. —— for an office chair. she went and got one. my mum used to ring, sorry kids, no, no, i won't tell that tory. -- that story.

that was before santa arrived? see you ina that was before santa arrived? see you in a bit. throughout the brexit negotiations business leaders have called for clarity — so now we have an idea of what the future could hold for british firms — what do they make of the proposed deal? victoria is at a webbing manufacturer in loughborough to find out. i have george with me, you are sixth generation of this factory, george? can you take me a bit of a tour? some extraordinary products are being made here. our main products are webbing and this is a surgical product. there's energy back supports and things like that. what is this? blair it goes into slings and things like that. but it is not just the medical industry? we have

some at military products, body armourand some at military products, body armour and things. this is for powerlifting and sports equipment. this i like. this is at tennis net for wimbledon. so this is the uk supply chain going all over the place? how has brexit affected your business so far or has it not at all? i think the most important issue is business confidence. i am concerned that people aren't making long—term decisions or possibly moving away from the uk already because of brexit. d think the deal we have on the table that has been ratified by that he —— do you think the deal —— that has been ratified by the eu? get it done and move on. no deal is not an option. tariffs

would be an absolute disaster. and what is going on globally as well? absolutely. our products here are subject to tariffs into the state which will increase to 25% in january. that will cause other issues for products coming out of china into the rest of the global market. a lot of turmoil. monty harper has been working here for 41 yea rs. harper has been working here for 41 years. good morning to you. what you make about all the brexit shenanigans? if i can make about all the brexit shenanigans? ifi can speak make about all the brexit shenanigans? if i can speak to the majority of people, really getting fed up with it. they want a deal, they want it sorted out. the sooner they want it sorted out. the sooner the better or else... are a lot of people i know, they are watching on television, theyjust switch it off because they are fed up with how long it's taken to sort things out and hopefully we seem to have turned the corner from yesterday's meeting. hopefully we shall make more stride

now and really get it sorted out so let's hope that's the way it is going to go. from the ordinary people in the street, they are really, really getting fed up with it. they really need sorting out. this is why these politicians, they do these things and that's what they're supposed to do. they are supposed to see it through instead of falling out, i'm not doing, where not going to do that. you will get nowhere, they need to move on. not going to do that. you will get nowhere, they need to move onlj think we all need to move on! banks, monty. -- thanks stop will have -- thanks. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. an investigation will continue this morning into what caused

a shopfront in east london to collapse — — injuring a woman. it happened on leyton high road at the weekend — at a romanian delicatessen. the woman was taken to hospital with non life—threatening injuries. residents nearby were evacuated while emergency work took place. crime in the city of london has gone up by 20 percent in the past year. there are just over 8 thousand people who live in the city which is one square mile in size — but more that 6 thousand crimes were reported there. it includes a steep rise in violent crime — which is why the police have decided to increase their visibility on the streets. london is the only place in the uk which is on—track to hit electric car targets. london has more charging points than anywhere else to cater for electric vehicles. but the institute of the motor industry also found that there's a national shortage of trained mechanics — qualified to work on the latest plug—in cars.

and staying with green news — because 80,000 new trees are to be planted in london next weekend. it's to mark national tree week — helping london to become a national park city. trees have been given to be planted everywhere from private gardens to community spaces, parks and underused green spaces. let's take a look at the travel situation now. a look at the tube board and the overground is part—suspended between stratford and camden road due to late finishing engineering work. on the roads, at heathrow terminal 4 — the a30 is blocked eastbound at stanwell road because of a collision. while in bermondsey: tower bridge road is closed northbound at the bricklayers arms roundabout because of a burst water main. finally, westminster: bridge street remains closed between parliament square and victoria embankment for security works. ‘s now the weather with kate. good morning. it is a chilly start

u nsu btle tuesday and then things turned unsubtle as we head to the rest of the week. tomorrow, outbreaks of rain and it becomes quite breezy. still actually date that the area is much milder and it turns wet and windy. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website. hello, this is breakfast. it's 6:30am. naga is at westminster with all of the talk. also on breakfast this morning: what happens in the first two years of life lays the foundation of everything to come. we'll hear more about the baby lab, where hundreds of children have been taking part in experiments to reveal how our personalities develop. # they are never gonna break me down. # they are never gonna... sir cliff richard will be here to tell us about his first album of new music in 14 years. the menopause currently affects 13 million women in the uk but it is often a taboo subject. we'll take a look at

a new documentary which uncovers the cause of hot flushes and explores the medication to treat them. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. theresa may will today begin a two week campaign to rally support for her bexit withdrawal plan. mps are likely to vote on it on december 12th. later this morning the prime minister will address her cabinet before making a statement to mps in the commons. but the opposition parties, the dup and many of her own backbenchers have already said they will oppose the plan. there's plenty of brexit analysis still to come on breakfast this morning. at 6:40am, we'll speak to journalists from france and germany to hear what the reaction has been there to theresa may's plan. the united nations security council is to hold an emergency meeting later to discuss a flare up of tensions between russia and ukraine. yesterday, russian forces seized three ukrainian navy vessels off

the coast of crimea, which was annexed by moscow four years ago. ukraine's president has described the move as an act of aggression. the royal college of surgeons is calling for compulsory registration of every medical device or implant put into a patient in the uk. the proposal comes after an investigation by media organisations around the world found evidence of inadequate testing and faulty equipment. the devices include heart pacemakers, rods to correct spines, and artificial knees and hips. the medicines and healthcare regulator says medical technology has "improved and transformed countless lives". mexico says it will deport a group of migrants who attempted to force their way across the border into the united states. mexican officials say around 500 ran towards the fence that separates the two countries at the busiest crossing on the border, near the city of tijuana. us security forces have now reopened the border crossing after closing it for several hours.

rail passengers who are not happy with how operators have dealt with their complaints will now be able to appeal to an independent ombudsman. all of the uk's national train operators have signed up to the independent body, which means they will be obliged to take action if failings are identified. the new service is being funded by train operators and can be used by customers if their complaint has not been resolved within a0 working days. we're very aware that we have lost the trust of many of our passengers, especially after what happened with the may timetable, and we're going to work hard to try to get it back, and this is part of that process. after six months in space, the nasa insight mission to mars is due to land on the red planet later today. the probe has travelled 90 million miles and once it has landed on mars, it will start a series of experiments, including drilling 15 feet underground. this is the first time that

scientists have looked deep beneath the surface of any planet other than earth. looks great. if you have a dog who likes to get wet on their walks, then don't let them look at the screen now, because it'll only give them big ideas. it is that time of year when we show you dog surfing. crowds watched dogs of all different sizes and breeds surf with their owners in jupiter, florida. there were different heats based on the dog's weight with all profits going to animal charities. the pups and their owners also got a chance to take their picture with santa claus. is that right? yes. he is enjoying a rest before the busy time starts. what a peculiar event. later on as

well, you know dynasty is was about lions and thousands of people were sending in pictures of their cats and dogs watching absolutely transfixed. howling sometimes at the screen “— transfixed. howling sometimes at the screen —— dynasties. it is the best thing on tv. at the end of it, certain personalities, you think, i love that lion. really clever. last night was incredible. great scenes yesterday from lewis hamilton. i don't know if you saw him take off his top celebrating his win in abu dhabi. i watched it on your bulletin half an hour ago. you are spoiling it for people. if you have just switched on, are spoiling it for people. if you havejust switched on, good morning. lewis hamilton signed off his formula i season in style, by winning the abu dhabi grand prix. there was a terrifying incident on the first lap, when nico hulkenberg flipped his renault. he told his team there was fire

and he was hanging upside—down but he walked away unhurt. it wasn't actually as simple as that. it took a long time for him to get out of the car. hamilton had already won his fifth world championship, of course, and in his final season in f1 fernando alonso finished 11th. it has been a pleasure racing with these champions and i feel very privileged. thanks for everything. thanks, formula i. i will always be afan. more from lewis hamilton before the end of this bulletin. england need five more wickets to beat sri lanka in the third test in colombo, and complete a series whitewash. they've set their hosts a target of 327 to win but it really doesn't look as though they're going to make it, although they are digging in, approaching lunch on day four, they're 164 for 5. arsenal manager unai emery says he still expects more from his team, even though they've extended their unbeaten run to 17 games. they went ahead against bournemouth

with a really unfortunate own—goal from jefferson lerma. great volley, wrong end. and the home side equalised before pierre emerick aubameyang put away the winner. huddersfield are off the bottom of the table, thanks to their first away win of the season. aaron mooy scored both goals as they beat wovles 2—0. he was delighted. arsenal's women have maintained their 100% start to the season, beating brighton 4—1. they're now six points clear of manchester city, who beat yeovil. after the greatest year in their rugby union history, ireland have swept the board at the world rugby awards in monte carlo. johnny sexton was named player of the year. he's the first irishman since keith wood 17 years ago to win the coveted prize. they also won team of the year, and joe schmidt was named best

coach. the first tournament of new season on the european tour saw england's aaron rai win his first title. he held off matthew fitzpatrick at the hong kong open to win by one stroke in very wet conditions at the fanling course. he started his final round six shots clear of the rest of the field but fitzpatrick‘s round of 64 wasn't quite enough to chase down rai. i promised you a little bit more on lewis hamilton. this is him winning the abu dhabi grand prix. if will smith had his way, it could have been very different. this hilarious video is from his twitter. you have already won, just say something for other people! let go. no one is going to know the difference.” other people! let go. no one is going to know the difference. i have to race, seriously. i am sorry. that is will smith suggesting that lewis should let him have a go. and i

think it ends with will smith walking to the car in a helmet to pretend he is lewis hamilton and then he is arrested. yes. i would like to see him get in the car. it is tiny. he is a big unit. he is a big lad. and the car is really tiny. she says, having tried to get in herself. i tried to get in it once. i got my left leg in and that is it. that is why you are much better sitting here. you are very kind. sally will have the sport through the morning. will you join us later? desk. we will chat with sir cliff. i can't wait. this is his 104th album. i think can't wait. this is his 104th album. ithinki can't wait. this is his 104th album. i think i have 103. i can can't wait. this is his 104th album. i think! have 103. i can see can't wait. this is his 104th album. i think i have 103. i can see why you are turning up. thank you. now, back to naga. she will be getting reaction throughout the morning. let's find out who she has this morning.

i have vision of you and sally trying to get into a formula 1 car and it made me laugh this morning, to be honest. we have a guess things to be honest. we have a guess things to talk about. it took eu leaders just a0 minutes to endorse nearly 600 pages of legal text and a 20 page roadmap for the eu's future relationship with britain. let's hear more now about the reaction to the deal from across the eu. i'm joined by stefanie bolzen from german newspaper die welt and by eric albert from french publication le monde. good morning. stefanie bolzen, i know that you are in brussels yesterday, give me a flavour of the atmosphere. the eu 27 was keen to create the impression this is a bureaucratic act that will be rubberstamped quickly. it wasn't even an hourand rubberstamped quickly. it wasn't even an hour and they announced the deal is done. it is obvious that behind closed doors, it is not over. it might drag on. eric, we saw the niggles from eu leaders in the

run—up to the deal being rubberstamped, so to speak, president macron himself bringing up the issues. how do the french see what is happening in the uk? with puzzlement, to be polite. the last two and a half years, there has been a bit of negotiation at the end, there will be more on the fisheries, but that is for the future. right now it is all about what is happening in this building in westminster. there are groups of people who radically oppose each other who are against the deal together. it is really bizarre. i was in brussels a few days before, and the one thing that is clear is there is no room for renegotiation at all. that is the only deal on offer. if it is rejected, it is for london to deal with it. what does germany make of the parliamentarians saying this is not a good enough deal here? in comparison to the

french, if i may say, the german government is trying to keep it calm. the german chancellor was conciliatory. she was talking about her sadness that britain was leaving. and she is relieved there isa leaving. and she is relieved there is a deal. germany has a lot of other things on their mind. there is quite an unstable political situation now. and brexit is one of many topics on the european agenda. so obviously the europeans are desperate to sort this out. how can they, as eric says, when the music is playing here? eric used the word puzzlement, is it a similarfeeling for the german press, how they are betraying our reaction? yes, it has become obvious how difficult it is to leave the eu is at the same time you want to stay in the eu and maintain the benefits. that is simply impossible. there is a lot of reporting in a schadenfreude, it is

really not, people are genuinely upset that britain is leaving, it is not good for the eu, it is not good for anybody, but it feels a bit powerless because, yes, it is now to the british parliament to decide and no one knows how it will end. do you think this feeling of sadness that was mentioned is felt in france? very much, very much. macron yesterday clearly said nobody is rejoicing, it is a sad thing. it is a sign of crisis in the eu as well. once it was decided that britain was leaving, then let's get on with it and agree on something. the problem is there as been no government to negotiate with because the government couldn't agree on anything. yes, no one is rejoicing. no one is saying, wonderful, finally we get rid of the british. that is not true, it is not correct. theresa may, how she performed, how they she gone down as a leader and

negotiator, taking the uk through this period? her image has changed a bit. for a long time, we wrote about the chaos that she created, especially with the election which she lost. now there is quite a lot of... she lost. now there is quite a lot of. . . with she lost. now there is quite a lot of... with the majority with the dup. making it so difficult for herself. now in the uk, everyone looks at her, thinking this woman has a stamina that is admirable. what about the potential, if there isa what about the potential, if there is a general election, a vote of no—confidence, if theresa may leaves, it is hypothetical at the moment, is there another leader, another that would go well with eu leaders? no, no one. the question is really... there are a set of rules that the eu will stick to. those negotiation rules will not really change. whoever you are negotiating with, it will not change. this circle that has been not square foot

toa circle that has been not square foot to a half years will not be square withjeremy to a half years will not be square with jeremy corbyn or —— whoever else is in power. you can't be in and out at the same time. yukka have the advantages and not pay anything. —— you can't have the advantages and not pay anything. it is a question of choosing what you want. thank you so much. it is time to talk to matt to get the weather. i can tell you it is very chilly. i have heard earlier that 70 miles an hour winds in scotland at some point? i am grateful we are not experiencing that here this morning. plenty more on our website. be glad you are not in scotland or north—west england this morning. a chilly start and as nab has hinted, this week is all about a change —— naga. we will see heavy rain and the potential for disruptive and stormy weather across the northern and

western parts of the uk. all of the cloud is set to bring the wet weather and particularly this one here. still waiting out the atlantic, being held at a by easterly winds coming off northern europe. chilly feel still today and showers east of scotland down through eastern england in particular. showers across the high ground. a few showers across southern parts of northern ireland are also into parts as for minor. western areas, the frosty start at increasing amount of sunshine developing for many. not a bad afternoon for many areas. still down across eastern scotland. the wind chill on the higher ground of the grampians. while much of eastern wales, still at bit of cloud around the coast of east anglia in particular and kent. temperatures

this afternoon generally around the high single figures yet again. still a few showers for a time across eastern areas but it will fade. frost developing where you have clearer skies. mist and fog across parts of england and wales, too. that will shift through the morning as the breeze picks up and the breeze picks up as soon as the morning rush—hour ends. lots of northern ireland, wales and the west of the south—west midlands. the rain will be there but turning to snow over the snowdonia hills. a few on the chilly side. plymouth, 12 degrees, mild air is on its way in. milderair degrees, mild air is on its way in. milder air comes in on tuesday and wednesday but then a deeper and windy area of low pressure. javier —— widely winds up to maybe 50, 60

or 70 —— widely winds up to maybe 50, 60 or70 mph —— widely winds up to maybe 50, 60 or 70 mph across the. scotland we will see the winds touch gale force at times and we will all see the rain comea at times and we will all see the rain come a little bit of sunshine in between but note that the bridges, 11— 1a degrees. we have not seen that for a while. —— temperatures. is that what you watch when you are not doing the weather? look at that covering of snow. elsewhere, we saw a0 centimetres. it is firing up the jetstream elsewhere, we saw a0 centimetres. it is firing up thejetstream and bringing us changes to the weather this week. plenty more from matt and from naga who is at westminster for us. it's been ten years since the climate change act was signed and the uk became the first country to introduce legislation to cut carbon emissions. a decade on, leading scientists are warning that we still need to do more to protect the future of our planet.

breakfast‘s john mcguire at the university of salford this morning where they are looking at how we can make our homes more energy efficient. where exactly are you, john?” where exactly are you, john? i am at joule terrace. there are are about a million houses like this in the uk, terrace houses. this is unique in the world because it is inside a climate controlled lab here at the university of salford. it can be sunny. matt was talking about it possibly being 1a degrees. right now it is five and it can be as cold as minus 12. it enables the scientist to see how the houses are coping with our changing climate. we are on target but only because we are doing very specific things. what more can we do? this house helps us find out.

this would have been a big pile of coal seven years ago, getting rid of the winter —— getting ready for winter. this is the biggest in the uk, providing around 7% of our power. in recent years, there has been a fundamental change in the fuel use, switching from coal to biomass woodchips. we are trying to get away from coal. we hope to be off coal in the next five years. this plant could become carbon negative, taking more co2 out of the air. by reducing the reliance of fossil fuels in this way, the uk has changed its view gas emissions. ten years ago the government to set targets. from 1990

levels, a reduction of 18% by 2050. we are on target but only because of changes at power stations and the supply. when it comes to demand, electric vehicles or green homes, we are lacking behind. but not here at eddington. in a village of 3000 people being built by cambridge university. can i buy you a coffee? where was one of the first to move in and in his embracing the idea of trying to reduce their carbon footprint. when i moved here, i got rid of my car and got on my bike and i feel rid of my car and got on my bike and ifeel much rid of my car and got on my bike and i feel much better for it. from recycling water and waste, it makes eddington that is sustainable as possible which was always part of the vision for this community. we area the vision for this community. we are a long—term partnerfor the future of the city and we want to make sure that the development only not managed its impact in terms of reducing the impact on the

surroundings and the environment and our neighbours but also thought about raising the bar for environmental and sustainability in the development industry in the uk. and because its newly built, many of the green living decisions have already been made. they are already led lightbulbs when you moved in. you are already at a good starting point. the government said emissions per person are being reduced here faster than in any other developed country and we can't afford to stand still. as we are switching from coal to biomass might change must be radical and widespread if we want to secure a future that is green. comeback into number one. it is pretty warm in here, 25 degrees, only five outside. the temperature in here with all of this equipment. monitor the comfort levels. this unit over here stimulates the body heat that a person gives off. it is

a proper house, solid walls. i will ta ke a proper house, solid walls. i will take you into the kitchen. we can talk to wrap doctor richard fitton from the university and someone from the committee for climate change. what do you learn in here? an amazing building. what this building allows us to do is dig things to it, insulated, change the heating controls, ventilation six stems, et cetera. —— systems. measure the difference these things make. go back to industry or academia or the consumer themselves and tell them if you do this you will save x % of money. we saw a new built that was environmentally sound and that is a sort of easy but we would be to retrofit these places, wouldn't we? absolutely. at installation —— installation which is a big investment for people to what make 30s important that we measure these things properly so we can get it correct. quis, what is next? what we

need to do to make sure we keep those emissions targets? we can't burn fossil fuels forever and today is the 10th anniversary of the climate change. that has been acclimatising the electricity supply and the next ten years we need to carry on with that plan that there isa carry on with that plan that there is a whole host of new things we need to do and think about how we move nothing —— move ourselves around. electric vehicles, but crucially, we have to think about how we heat out at —— how do we keep house at this and how energy—efficient it is. we can't have gas forever and that is going to be one of the really big decisions that the uk that is coming up. can eat only be done with a strong economy? this of thing take a back seat with this drop —— if there isa back seat with this drop —— if there is a recession? decarbonising the electricity supply, it has been a lot cheaper than we thought. the message we get every time is as soon as you start on this, the cheaper it

will be. you have seen how quickly these things become cheaper and cheaper and how exciting that is. thank you very much indeed. we will leave you chatting away in a kitchen with our friend who as i say is giving off the same amount of heat asa giving off the same amount of heat as a normal person, if there is such as a normal person, if there is such a thing. all of the bedrooms u psta i rs a thing. all of the bedrooms upstairs are also rigged up with this type of monitoring equipment to give, as the gentleman was saying, to give an idea of what a domestic houseis to give an idea of what a domestic house is like. the everyday differences to the way we run our lives. the government obviously has this legislation in place. the big targets have been set, the macro picture, if you like. the next stage for the more micro developments, for us for the more micro developments, for us to change the way that we live to keep those greenhouse gas emissions as low as they possibly can be for the benefit of future generations. from my brown leather wrapped sofa, back to you on the big red one. john, thank you very much. we will

back —— will be back withjohn. you might be looking at brexit today but we will have a lot with naga who is at westminster today. in about ten minutes time. now it is the news, travel and weather where you are watching. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. an investigation will continue this morning into what caused a shopfront in east london to collapse — — injuring a woman. it happened on leyton high road at the weekend — at a romanian delicatessen. the woman was taken to hospital with ‘non life—threatening' injuries. residents nearby were evacuated while emergency work took place.

crime in the city of london has gone up by 20 percent in the past year. there are just over 8 thousand people who live in the city which is one square mile in size — but more that 6 thousand crimes were reported there. it includes a steep rise in violent crime — which is why the police have decided to increase their visibility on the streets. london is the only place in the uk which is on—track to hit electric car targets. london has more charging points than anywhere else to cater for electric vehicles. but the institute of the motor industry also found that there's a national shortage of trained mechanics — qualified to work on the latest plug—in cars. and staying with green issues — because 80,000 new trees are to be planted in london next weekend. it's to mark national tree week — helping london to become a national park city. trees have been given to be planted everywhere from private gardens to community spaces, parks and underused green spaces. let's take a look at

the travel situation now. a look at the tube board and the overground has severe delays between stratford and camden road due to late finishing engineering work. on the roads, at heathrow terminal a — the a30 is blocked eastbound at stanwell road because of a collision. while in bermondsey: tower bridge road is closed northbound at the bricklayers arms roundabout because of a burst water main. finally, westminster: bridge street remains closed between parliament square and victoria embankment for security works. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's a chilly start out there this morning but thanks to the cloud coverage overnight, temperatures are above zero. we are going to hang on to this cloud for much of the day. you might get some glimmers of brightness here and there. you'll notice these showers coming in from the east, it looks like they will stay there but you can't rule one out anywhere.

most places dry, cloudy and feeling chilly. temperatures today around seven or eight celsius. overnight tonight, we're hanging on to that cloud. we're likely to see the low cloud developing a little bit of mist, potentially. again showers out towards the east, most places staying dry. minimum temperature could in the suburbs and beyond get down to zero. but the breeze starts to pick up as we head into tuesday and then things turn rather unsettled as we head to the rest of the week. tomorrow, outbreaks of rain and it becomes quite breezy. still a chilly day but notice on wednesday, the area is much milder but it turns wet and windy. within the next half—hour, crime rates in the city of london. i will be back in half an hour, too. good morning, welcome to breakfast. i'm naga munchetty, here in westminster,

where theresa may will today begin the big sell of her brexit deal with the eu. the prime minister will warn mps that if they don't back the deal, they risk more division and uncertainity. in parliament and beyond it, i will make the case for this deal with all my heart, and i look forward to that campaign. however, she's facing a huge challenge. with all the opposition parties, the dup and dozens of tory backbenchers saying they wont support it. meanwhile, businessesjust meanwhile, businesses just have to get on with the job. i am here at a manufacturer in loughborough to find out what this business makes of the deal. also this morning — tensions escalate after russia opens fire and seizes three ukranian naval vessels off the coast of crimea. mission to mars — a robotic probe is due to land on the red planet after an incredible 90 million milejourney. what a way to end the season — a fifth f1 world championship already confirmed,

lewis hamilton celebrated victory in abu dhabi by taking showing the world the poem tattooed on his back. good morning. you wouldn't want to do that this morning, with frost across northern and western areas, sunshine here, showers in the east, set to turn wet and windy through the week, i've got all the details here on breakfast. good morning. it's monday, the 26th of november. theresa may will today begin a campaign to rally support for her brexit withdrawal plan. mps are likely to vote on it on december 12th. later this morning the prime minister will hold a cabinet meeting before making a statement to mps in the commons. but the opposition parties, the dup and many of her own backbenchers have already said they will oppose the plan. our political correspondent alex forsyth has more. theresa may arrived home yesterday with the ink fresh on the deal that will take us out of the eu. in brussels, she got the backing of eu leaders. now, she must sell it to sceptical mps and the public.

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, 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. there are two parts to this deal. the withdrawal agreement deals with our exit. there will be a transition period after we leave in march when not much changes until december 2020, so new arrangements can be worked out. it settles the divorce bill and guarantees the rights of eu and uk citizens living abroad. and it contains that controversial backstop plan, to avoid a hard irish border if there is no trade deal. then there is a political declaration, which talks about an ambitious future partnership in trade. free movement will end. but the details haven't been agreed, and this document

isn't legally binding. the prime minister and other eu leaders say this deal is the best it gets. back home, many disagree. what she's created satisfies very, very few people. so the chances of getting this deal through parliament, i think, is effectively nil. here, all the opposition parties and many conservative mps have said they won't support this deal, so the challenge for the prime minister is to try and win them round before a crucial vote in a few weeks. i'm joined by our political correspondent ben wright. ben, just off camera we were talking about how important this is in terms of what is happening. it feels like every week we say this is a big one, this is a big one, now theresa may has to try to get it rubberstamped

and at the moment it doesn't look as though she has showed. -- as though she has hope. it is seismic and it is huge for parliament and every individual mp. the country is at a fork in the road. they know that the choice they make will shape the future of this country for years to come. it is a huge moment. when theresa may stands up, she won't expect praise and plaudits, securing this divorce deal with the eu. resistance to the plan runs very deepin resistance to the plan runs very deep in parliament among the brexit and remain supporting winds of her party, opposition parties are lined up party, opposition parties are lined up against it, she has a job on her hand persuading them in a fortnight to back it. at the moment the numbers are stacked against her. her plan seems to be to circumvent public and make a case to voters around the country over the next two weeks saying it is this plan to guarantee brexit happening or it is chaos. there are options that people think would be alternative to a

brexit deal, a second vote, no deal, or general election, but these things, there have to be blocks in place for this to happen? yes, the default position would be if this deal is not approved by mps for the uk to leave without a deal, that is written into law, that's what would happen, unless the government brings in legislation for something else to get the support of mps, now that might bea get the support of mps, now that might be a referendum, a different way of leaving the eu, it could be perhaps the general election. mps might call a confidence vote and there could be a general election. it could go in any number of directions. it is hard to guess what it would be. parliament is split into many different factions. lots of different groups of mps have different ideas of what would happen if the deal was to fall. that is why the prime minister's argument would be it is this deal or is leaving with nothing at all. it is hard to predict. i won't ask you to. thank you. lots of talk here on brexit at

brea kfast you. lots of talk here on brexit at breakfast this morning. and in a few minutes we'll be talking to the leader of the liberal democrats sir vince cable and conservative brexiteer crispin blunt. but first, dan has the rest of the news. good morning. good morning. yes, the brexit secretary coming up later as well, and the shadow brexit secretary, so much to discuss this morning, and the rest of the day's news, of course. and we will do that now. russia has seized three ukrainian naval vessels off the coast of crimea. in an escalation of tensions between the countries, moscow said the ships had breached its territorial waters. the ukrainian president has described it as an act of aggression. our correspondent lebo diseko has more. russian fighter jets in the kerch straits. this stretch of water is the only way in and out of the sea of azov, which ukraine and russia share. russia says three ukrainian vessels illegally entered its waters. first it blockaded them, then it fired at them. ukraine says six of its sailors were hurt, while the russian security service says only three were wounded, and were getting medical care. in kiev, ukraine's president petro

poroshenko described the russian actions as unprovoked and crazy. mps there will vote on whether to introduce martial law on monday. ukraine's key ports are in the sea of azov, but since russia annexed crimea four years ago, it is able to block access in and out of the kerch straits. overnight in kiev, there were protests outside russia's embassy, these events like salt in wounds that have not healed. both sides have asked for an emergency meeting of the un security council, which will be held on monday morning, the hope being that this crisis doesn't escalate any further. the royal college of surgeons is calling for compulsory registration of every medical device or implant put into a patient in the uk. the proposal comes after an investigation by media organisations around the world found evidence of inadequate testing and faulty equipment. the devices include heart pacemakers, rods to correct spines,

and artificial knees and hips. you can see more on the investigation in tonight's panorama, at 8:30pm on bbc one. mexico says it will deport a group of migrants who attempted to force their way across the border into the united states. mexican officials say around 500 ran towards the fence that separates the two countries at the busiest crossing on the border, near the city of tijuana. us security forces have now reopened the border crossing after closing it for several hours. hundreds of people in australia have been evacuated from their homes because of bushfires caused by unseasonably warm weather. authorities in queensland say that about a0 fires are burning across the state and several homes have been damaged or destroyed. the most serious blaze, about a50 kilometres north of brisbane, is expected to last for several more days. rail passengers who are not happy with how operators

have dealt with their complaints will now be able to appeal to an independent ombudsman. all of the uk's national train operators have signed up to the independent body, which means they will be obliged to take action if failings are identified. the new service is being funded by train operators and can be used by customers if their complaint has not been resolved within a0 working days. after six months in space, the nasa insight mission to mars is due to land on the red planet later today. once there, it will start a series of experiments, including drilling 15 feet underground. this is the first time that scientists have looked deep beneath the surface of any planet other than earth. from nasa mission control in pasadena, here's our science correspondent victoria gill. they call it seven minutes of terror. at this last stage of its journey to mars, nasa's insight lander would need to slow itself down from almost 20,000 kilometres per hour to a safe landing speed.

this is the full—size model? this is the full—size, life—size model of the insight lander. these are our beautiful solar rays that are gorgeous. it will power everything on the lander. insight is doing amazing science on the surface of mars. we like to say we are giving mars its first checkup in four billion years. before any martian science can begin, though, the pressure of a safe touchdown will trigger a beacon to be sent back to earth — insight‘s first call home. once we land, we'll get a message back from the spacecraft that says it thinks it's safe and then we have to obviously check on our spacecraft as well and make sure that it really is in a safe state but, man, when we get that first indication our hearts are just going to explode. it will be really exciting. back at mission control the team

will plan where to carefully place as size monitor to listen for earthquakes, or "marsquakes". these measurements will allow scientists to step back in time and work out exactly how rocky bodies like mars, earth and the moon actually formed a.5 billion years ago. first, though, the craft will have to land on its feet on a planet more than 90 million miles away. victoria gill, bbc news, at nasa'sjet propulsion laboratory, california. it might only be november and some might say it's too early to get in the festive spirit, but there's someone who's been practicing his season's greetings already. merry christmas. this is mike the magpie. and that was his owner giggling in the background afterwards. he lives in lancashire with his owners steve and janine, who say he came out with the phrase after hearing it on his favourite radio station.

they have a number of pets, as you can see. it'll be mike's first christmas with the family after he was rescued as a chick earlier this year, so only time will tell how their tree will get on, given mike's love of shiny things. and he has been learning how to say merry christmas. if you missed it the first time around, have another look. merry christmas. it is very clear, isn't it? that is some of the main news this morning, and some magpie action. let's get more reaction on that brexit deal. we know that it took around a0 minutes for the eu leaders to sign off theresa may's deal, but there is plenty to discuss this morning. naga's in westminster. morning. i want a magpie, morning. iwanta magpie, dan. morning. iwant a magpie, dan. merry christmas. you do a good impression ofa christmas. you do a good impression of a magpie, well done. yes, we are here at westminster. so now that eu leaders and theresa may have approved the terms of the withdrawal agreement the next big step will see the deal put before parliament. that vote is likely

to happen on december 12th. if it's rejected by mps, the government has three weeks to put forward a new plan. the options include re—negotiating with the eu or leaving with no deal. other alternatives could be holding another referendum or calling a general election. however, if the deal does get approved in parliament, the government can set to work drawing up the official withdrawal agreement bill. for progress to continue, both mps and the european parliament will then have their own say on the final details. the uk leaves the eu on the 29th of march 2019, signalling the start of a transition period until 2020. i'm joined now by leader of the liberal democrats, sir vince cable and conservative mp crispin blunt who supports brexit. good morning to you both. the deal, do you think it will pass through?” don't think it will pass parliament. none of us can be absolutely

certain. people are changing views. the balance would suggest at the moment it will not pass. will you be one of those not supporting it?” will certainly oppose it. and i will argue that we need to go back to the public and say to them do you want this deal or would you rather remain in the eu. crispin, do you think it will go through? no, i don't think so, unless the labour party do something no one would expect. this deal doesn't have a price in the house of commons. what do you think the labour party could do? well, given the deal, which isn't very good, looks like the labour party position, it is not very coherent in terms of the political opposition, it is straightforward political manoeuvre to cause the government difficulty. but i would be very surprised if they don't go through the division lobbies against the deal. you might find that there is some deal done. i don't think there

will be. that is the only area of uncertainty. there are probably i would expect more than 100 of my colleagues to vote against it. the result would be no deal, that is the most likely result at the moment. what does it look like, what should people expect? no deal is extremely unlikely. this whole process going through parliament is, as you have just said, going to throw up eruptions. there is only a very small group of mps as i understand it who want to have a no deal, and now with all the damage that can cause, no, we will be forced back to a variety of options, it could include a referendum, and election, going to try to get a change, although that is unlikely, but i think no deal is not going to happen. what time period should people look at, if you say it is another election or referendum, what should people expect? if we do get the parliamentary vote to go ahead

with a referendum, a peoples vote, it would happen over the next few months, the final day, the end of march would have to be extended a little, it could take place within that time period. you understand that time period. you understand that there is little room for the 29 march date? little wiggle room. there will be strong resistance in europe to go beyond the european elections, but i have met with mr barnier and others that there is a little wiggle room, but not a great deal. what is your view in terms of timescale? we have to stop the nonsense of the language about crashing out catastrophe, no deal... the only certain outcome, where we know what the terms are, is moving to world trade organisation terms on 29 march, and the problem with the deal is uncertainty — we have no idea when and if we would be allowed to leave the european customs union if we approve this deal. we already heard president macron say i won't let britain leave the customs union

until we have access to their fishing grounds. so you can see the complexity in future. this would go on for ever. everyone wants this to be over. business wants a certainty. and the world trade organisation terms are understood and they will give the certainty so they can invest in those circumstances. the only difficulty to come is if european union partners see policies which make it difficult. there are agricultural tariffs about 35%. you are going back to square one. the uk has been into negotiations to two yea rs. has been into negotiations to two years. european exporters will be paying twice as much duty on stuff they sell to the uk because they sell twice as much to us as we sell to them. the uk will store be paying... we will still have quite a

lot of money to them support our industries in the way that we choose. that is another thing that comes in on the 29th of march if we still take it. we can regulate and support our businesses. then we look at free trade agreement immediately all around the world to best support our businesses and what we have got to remember is that britain's business strengths are global. they are not regional and that's why we runa are not regional and that's why we run a huge deficit with our partners. back to square one, that is going back to the trade tariffs. that would be a disastrous solution. the government has described. to ta ke the government has described. to take one example, you have massive tariffs on lamp. the government has already got contingency plans for slaughter a large part of their sheep population in the uk. it is insane and nobody wants to go down that road. you don't need to. they can make the transition to world trade organization turns and

lowering tariffs as rapidly as they like. thank you for your time this morning. time now to get the weather from matt. i'm guessing it is a four layer day down there this morning. we have cold conditions, frost across much of scotland, western england and parts of northern ireland. a week of change after another chilly day uk wide, we switched to weather off the atla ntic wide, we switched to weather off the atlantic from tomorrow onwards so gradually turning milder. wet weather to come at times and potential mid week for disruptive gust of wind, too. all of that is waiting out in the wings, lining up in the atlantic, big swirls of cloud and low pressure systems. bringing showers this morning across parts of eastern and central

scotland. to the south of northern ireland. southern uplands falling snow as well. temperatures in larousse single figures were all. through the day we will continue seeing the showers pepper the east. who was the showers in western scotland. a few shouts of the northern isles and down across eastern parts of scotland. maybe just into the south—east of northern ireland but much of western wales stays dry, sunny and pleasant enough for this stage in november. still the showers across eastern counties of england and the closer to the coast you are, the heavier it can be. we will see mist and fog reform across parts of england and wales in particular. frost is possible, temperatures below freezing across parts scotland and west england

especially. into tomorrow, while much of scotland and eastern england, by the chao, is dry. rain spread quickly through the morning. rain pushes into the west midlands later on. some heavy in places that note that temperatures, 12 in plymouth, a sign of something milder. and while the wet weather pushes into all parts, there is a speu pushes into all parts, there is a spell of wetter and windy weather from the deep area of low pressure after the west. mid week, the windiest spell, could see wins widely in the west of 55 mph and maybe touching 70 mph in the far north—west. outbreaks of rain for all and most persistent cough —— for parts of scotland. back into double figures that just about all of us. sunshine and showers 2—seater week out. throughout the brexit negotiations

business leaders have called for clarity — so now we have an idea of what the future could hold for british business what do they make of theresa may's proposed deal? victoria is at a webbing manufacturer in loughborough to find out. good morning, victoria. it's kind of hypnotic, this, isn't it? it is rolling out the blue carpet. i wonder whether theresa may will be able to do things quite as speedily. bc place makes webbing manufacturing and all these things since 19 —— 1870. we have medical supplies, back brace all the way through to the sort of stuff that goes into military gear. we spoke to george wright. now we speak to annabel,

your dad was saying that he thinks confidence is the big issue when it comes to brexit and the future of trading relationships. what do you make of all of this and how do you feel about taking over the business in the future? i think it is an exciting prospect and also it's a bit ofan exciting prospect and also it's a bit of an unknown territory for me at the moment. but it's exciting and i think the future is bright for us regardless, whatever decision is made. what kind of plans are you making now to kind of protective against whatever the future may hold? what against whatever the future may hold ? what kind against whatever the future may hold? what kind of uncertainty? lots of people are uncertain about brexit that things like a mob pump and trade tablets —— donald trump and trade tablets —— donald trump and trade tariffs. obviously we have the 3-d trade tariffs. obviously we have the 3—d carbon fibre weaving that is coming to the business so definitely the constant evolving and research. so you are going into aerospace but

also backing to a lusty connectors? —— elastic knickers. we used to have it and from my side, i would love to bring it back in, lingerie. if i'm coming back into the business. there we go, elastic knickers! this is about confidence and whether people in the uk has enough money to spend. julie, if you have travel business just up the road, well, about an hour from just up the road, well, about an hourfrom here. just up the road, well, about an hour from here. have just up the road, well, about an hourfrom here. have you just up the road, well, about an hour from here. have you seen any changes as a result of these political negotiations? not yet. bookings for next year still looking really good for us. the issues around brexit, people aren't being able to plan for next year so without knowing what we try to plan

for has made it difficult for the business to make investments and increase staffing levels. this virus bookings are going, we haven't seen a decrease. hadi you think about -- what do you think about the way that politicians have conducted themselves? —— as for as bookings are going. they are looking at political gains are not concentrating on the matter at hand. they need to get the deal done. we need to war moves on and plan as we have been talking about and make some improvements. —— we need to move on. you might have heard jeremy hunt on the andrew maher programme yesterday. he coined the phrase board of brexit. or it bob. who is a bob? i am a bob. me, i am a bob.

there you go, theyjust want to do the business that they want to coming here to do. —— come in here to do. plenty more at the rest of the programme. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. an investigation will continue this morning into what caused a shopfront in east london to collapse, injuring a woman. it happened on leyton high road at the weekend — at a romanian delicatessen. the woman was taken to hospital with non life—threatening injuries. residents nearby were evacuated while emergency work took place. crime in the city of london has gone up by 20% in the past year. there are just over 8,000 people who live in the city — although many thousands more work there. and there were 6,000 crimes reported there. it includes a steep rise in violent crime — which is why the police have decided to increase their visibility on the streets.

london is the only place in the uk which is on—track to hit electric car targets. it has more charging points than anywhere else — to cater for electric vehicles. but the institute of the motor industry also found that there's a national shortage of trained mechanics — qualified to work on the latest plug—in cars. and staying with issues that effect our air quality — a plant—a—thon is taking place this weekend as part of a mass tree—planting drive. 80,000 trees are to be planted in london — aimed at making the capital — the world's first national park city. trees have been given out — so they can be planted in private gardens, parks and underused green spaces. let's take a look at the travel situation now. a look at the tube board and the overground has severe delays between stratford and camden road due to late finishing engineering work. on the roads, at heathrow terminal a — the a30 is blocked eastbound at stanwell road because of a collision. while in colliers wood: police

have closed priory road southbound. and in central london, the strand underpass is closed for emergency repairs. it's been closed since thursday afternoon. expect delays over the bridge. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's a chilly start out there this morning but thanks to the cloud coverage overnight, temperatures are above zero. we are going to hang on to this cloud for much of the day. you might get some glimmers of brightness here and there. you'll notice these showers coming in from the east, looks like they will stay there but you can't rule one out anywhere. most places dry, cloudy and feeling chilly. temperatures today around seven or eight celsius. overnight tonight, we're hanging on to that cloud. we're likely to see the low cloud developing a little bit of mist, potentially. again showers out towards the east, most places staying dry. minimum temperature could in the suburbs and beyond get down to zero.

but the breeze starts to pick up as we head into tuesday and then things turn rather unsettled as we head through the rest of the week. tomorrow, outbreaks of rain and it becomes quite breezy. still a chilly day but notice on wednesday we pick up a south—westerly flow, the air is much milder but it turns wet and windy. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning. welcome back, you are watching brea kfast welcome back, you are watching breakfast this morning and we are here at westminster bringing you the latest on brexit because theresa may will begin a two—week campaign to rally support for her brexit withdrawal plan. mps are likely to vote on it on december 12th. later this morning the prime minister will address her cabinet before making a statement to mps in the commons.

but the opposition parties, the dup and many of her own backbenchers have already said they will oppose the plan. our brussels reporter adam fleming joins us now. adam, it is very interesting, just looking at what is being felt here, but also how the eu has reacted. lots of words of kindness and sadness over the weekend about the uk leaving the eu. yes, i thought yesterday's summit would be this big emotional, dramatic moment, like the season finale of the brexit talks, which started 525 days ago, but it felt a bit mmm, because yes, eu leaders was that the uk was leaving, most of the leaders who spoke in the room after theresa may talked about brexit spoke to say how disappointed they were that the uk was leaving, but as far as the eu is concerned, thatis but as far as the eu is concerned, that is brexit talks over, the deal

is done, withdrawal agreement, the legal text about that are —— divorce is finished, the future relationship is finished, the future relationship is finished, the future relationship is finished, so the package has been handed over to theresa may today to westminster to sell to her mps and to sell to the country. and the message from the eu is we ain't changing the deal even if people wa nted changing the deal even if people wanted to be changed. it is interesting you say that. i was beating with vince cable from the liberal democrats ten minutes ago and implied that there was wiggle room with a 29 march date ——i was speaking. is that your impression? legally varies wiggle room with brexit day because under the eu treaty, and the famous article 50, the part that spells out the rules for a country leaving, it says if the country leaving and the other 27 countries agree unanimously, then the deadline for the brexit process can be extended. so there is a legal possibility that brexit day could be

moved and the negotiations could restart a nd moved and the negotiations could restart and continue. but the big thing that is stopping that happening is that the uk government says it is never going to happen. it would require theresa may to change her mind about brexit day, come to brussels, convince eu leaders it is a good idea. they might extract a price for doing that and then it would have to happen. ijust think brexit day is going to be written into a brexit day is going to be written intoa 50p brexit day is going to be written into a 50p coin. that is how serious the government is about it happening on that day. when you know there is a new coin, you know it is serious, don't you? thank you. there's plenty more analysis to come here on breakfast. at 7:50am, dan will speak to the new brexit secretary, stephen barclay, and then at 8:10am i'll bejoined here in westminster by the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer. so, lots and lots going on. for now, though, it's back to dan in the studio for the rest of today's news. the warm, cosy studio, dan, for the rest of the day's news.” the warm, cosy studio, dan, for the rest of the day's news. i have just

turned up the heating, naga, for you. enjoy your five layers. we will be back in westminster later on. elsewhere today : the united nations security council is to hold an emergency meeting later to discuss a flare up of tensions between russia and ukraine. yesterday, russian forces seized three ukrainian navy vessels off the coast of crimea, which was annexed by moscow four years ago. ukraine's president has described the move as an act of aggression. the royal college of surgeons is calling for compulsory registration of every medical device or implant put into a patient in the uk. the proposal comes after an investigation by media organisations around the world found evidence of inadequate testing and faulty equipment. the devices include heart pacemakers, rods to correct spines, and artificial knees and hips. mexico says it will deport a group of migrants who attempted to force their way across the border into the united states. mexican officials say around 500 ran towards the fence that separates the two countries at the busiest crossing on the border, near the city of tijuana. us security forces have now reopened the border crossing after closing it for several hours.

hundreds of people in australia have been evacuated from their homes because of bushfires caused by unseasonably warm weather. authorities in queensland say that about a0 fires are burning across the state and several homes have been damaged or destroyed. the most serious blaze, about a50 kilometres north of brisbane, is expected to last for several more days. rail passengers who are not happy with how operators have dealt with their complaints will now be able to appeal to an independent ombudsman. all of the uk's national train operators have signed up to the independent body, which means they will be obliged to take action if failings are identified. the new service is being funded by train operators and can be used by customers if their complaint has not been resolved within a0 working days. after six months in space, the nasa insight mission to mars is due to land on the red planet later today.

the probe has travelled 90 million miles and once it has landed on mars, it will start a series of experiments, including drilling 15 feet underground. this is the first time that scientists have looked deep beneath the surface of any planet other than earth. talking of our own planet: david attenborough's new series dynasties has been proving popular but last night's episode seems to have attracted a new kind of audience. up and down the country, viewers were joined by their cats, who appeared to become absorbed by the episode, which focused on a pride of lions in kenya's masai mara. and if you look on social media this morning, there are thousands and thousands all over the uk who were transfixed by dynasties, so humans and cats are loving the series.

sally is he with us for the sport. every week there is a star on the programme. yes, sometimes it is scary, what is happening is so brutal. yes, penguins... i am still traumatised. they really bothered me. it was quite scary. sometimes you watch and you think, i don't have a cat, but you watch the programme thinking they are all the same. yes. there has been some brilliant tv, strictly... graeme swann. what happened? a bit harsh. they were mean. lewis hamilton... champion of champions. a fantastic weekend. lewis hamilton signed off his formula 1 season in style by winning the abu dhabi grand prix. there was a terrifying incident on the first lap when nico hulkenberg flipped his renault. he told his team there was fire and he was hanging upside—down, but he was fine, even though it took them a long time to get him out of the car.

hamilton had already won his fifth world championship, of course, and in his final season in f1 fernando alonso finished 11th. it has been a pleasure racing with these champions and i feel very privileged. thanks for everything. thanks, formula 1. i will always be a fan. england need five more wickets to beat sri lanka in the third test in colombo, and complete a series whitewash. they've set their hosts a target of 327 to win and jack leach removed the night watchman early on. ben stokes with the catch, but sri lanka are really digging in, they're back out after lunch on day four, and they've moved on to 177 for 5. arsenal manager unai emery says he still expects more from his team, even though they've extended their unbeaten run to 17 games. they went ahead against bournemouth with a really unfortunate own—goal from jefferson lerma.

yes, just tricky. great volley, wrong goal. and the home side equalised before pierre emerick aubameyang put away the winner. huddersfield are off the bottom of the table, thanks to their first away win of the season. aaron mooy scored both goals as they beat wovles 2—0. he could not stop smiling at the final whistle. arsenal's women have maintained their 100% start to the season, beating brighton a—1. they're now six points clear of manchester city, who beat yeovil. after the greatest year in their rugby union history, ireland have swept the board at the world rugby awards in monte carlo. johnny sexton was named player of the year. he's the first irishman since keith wood 17 years ago to win the coveted prize. they also won team of the year, and joe schmidt was named best coach. england's aaron rai has won his first european tour title. he began the final day

of the hong kong open six shots clear, but he saw that disappearing in the pouring rain, as matt fitzpatrick mounted a charge. rai won by a single stroke. i think you've got a couple of little shop of you head in hands for a moment. i wasjust. .. little shop of you head in hands for a moment. i wasjust... you were working. studying. you are like that statue studying. we have the brexit secretary coming up. theresa may has had a deal accepted by eu leaders. so we are discussing exactly what is happening and naga will speak with keir starmer as well at 8:10am this morning, so thank you very much. it's been 10 years since the climate change act was signed and the uk became the first country to introduce legislation to cut carbon emissions. a decade on, leading scientists are warning that we still need to do more to protect the future of our planet. breakfast‘s john maguire at the university of salford this morning where they are looking at how we can make our homes

more energy efficient. i take it from that picture you are in the kitchen. yes, good morning. absolutely in the kitchen, as you say. we are inside the house and it isa say. we are inside the house and it is a victorian semi—detached house, although rebuilt a few years ago with solid brick walls and everything rigged up so the environmental site can be monitored inside and outside, they can change the weather outside, so for example inside we have these temperature monitors to measure the temperature of the floor about halfway up and indeed at the ceiling this unit here simulate the amount of body heat given off by an average person — all sorts of different gizmos rigged up to have an idea not only of the conditions inside the house, but also outside the house when it rains, when it snows, and we are going to make it rain in a couple of

minutes' time. i will let you watch a film that explains how much progress we have made on cutting greenhouse gas emissions over the last ten years. so where we are now seven years ago this would have been a big pile of coal getting ready for the winter and making sure that we were powering homes. this power station in north yorkshire is the biggest in the uk, providing around 7% of our power. in recent years, there has been a fundamental change in the fuel used to fire the boilers — switching from coal to biomass woodchips. we want to get off coal so we believe coal is a fuel of the past. everything we've done here is part of that ambition to get away from coal. over time, we hope to be off coal in the next five years. and today, trials start on carbon capture technology, which could see this plant become notjust carbon neutral but carbon negative, taking even more co2 out of the air. by reducing the reliance on fossil fuels in this way, the uk has cut its greenhouse gas emissions. ten years ago the government set targets. from 1990 levels,

a reduction of 80% by 2050. and we are on target but only because of changes in power stations in the supply. when it comes to demand, electric vehicles or green homes, we're lagging behind. but not here at eddington — a village of 3000 people being built by cambridge university. claire, can i buy you a coffee? i'll have a tea, actually. claire was one of the first to move in and is embracing the opportunity to reduce her carbon footprint. i've always commuted to work in a car historically so when i moved here, i got rid of my car and got on my bike and, yeah, i feel much better for it. ‘s if from recycling water and waste to green heating, of the vision for this community. we are a long—term partner in the future of the city and wanted to make sure that the development not only managed its impact in terms of reducing the impact

on the surroundings and the environment and our neighbours but also thought about raising the bar for environmental and sustainability in the development industry in the uk. and because its newly built, many of the green living decisions have already been made. when you moved in, all of the lightbulbs are already led, things like that. so you are already at a good starting point. the government said emissions per person are being reduced here faster than in any other developed country but that we can't afford to stand still. as we are switching from coal to biomass change must be radical and widespread if we want to secure a future that is green. you wait and yellow see this map tailor. it is dumping it down in the

lab in the university of salford. i know it is bad luck to put up umbrellas indoors but it is essential. we are going to pop next door to number three and ask. who thought this was a good idea? we we re thought this was a good idea? we were saying there are a million victorian houses like this across the uk that this is the only one of its kind in the world. inside a climate controlled lab. what benefits, and vantage is, what do you learn from this facility? when we look at the future predictions to climate change, is not always the fa ct climate change, is not always the fact is going to be a lot hotter but it's going to be a lot wetter in the winter periods. cold conditions like we have here, soaking wall, soaking rain. it builds more heat. as we

look at climate change moving forward , look at climate change moving forward, we need to think about how we treat these buildings so wet building doesn't contest —— conduct more heat. so you would need to retrofit things here, wouldn't you? to try to reduce your carbon footprint? yes when we look at adding an external wall, that brings up adding an external wall, that brings up waterproofing so it rings it up. —— brings forth hopefully it. the thermal transfer from inside to outside. are supposed crucially now, it's what's next? we have known for a very long time that we have to stop using fossil fuels. today we celebrate ten years of the climate change act. for the last ten years, we have been thinking about how we can cut the ninth of this —— supply of electricity to houses like this. last year, half the houses are low

carbon that next year has to be about how we move around in a low carbon way. we may be charging our electric vehicle outside this house and crucially, how to be heat these homes and how energy—efficient kanepi? that is the challenge for policies are a good shoe in the future. —— policies are a good shoe in the future. “ consumers. policies are a good shoe in the future. -- consumers. and extraordinaire facility, it can get as cold as, look at this, we are standing ina as cold as, look at this, we are standing in a public water! as the quys standing in a public water! as the guys were saying, it's a fantastic facility that enables them to recreate the conditions, all sorts of different conditions. interesting to pick up on what chris was saying in changes in design of buildings, when you go on holidays in the mediterranean, there are shutters on the windows, we don't have that in the windows, we don't have that in the uk. that sort of design might need to be more commonplace. from a very rainy inside university of

sa lfo rd , very rainy inside university of salford, back to you in the studio. sure it's not raining in the studio, is it? i was watching you watching that. matt. quick, the graphics, put some rain over salford. —5 in the last hour. a chilly start to the new working week for many. things are set to turn milder. mid week, some potentially destructive winds. out in the atla ntic destructive winds. out in the atlantic at the moment, the clouds are being held at bay. it is pushing them all to the west of the uk. the easterly winds will likely bring in

a few showers. eastern scotland and east of england into the midlands, parts of northern ireland. sunshine across many western areas but with the frost that i mentioned and it is in the frost of a mention. —— that i mentioned. a few showers across orkney and shetland still on down through eastern scotland. same to in the southern uplands. part of northern ireland dry and sunny. much of wales, western england, stays dry. long, sunny spells into the afternoon. showers down the eastern counties, heaviest the closer you are. into tonight, the showers continuing the eastern gradually fade away. it is getting breaks in the cloud. as well as mist and fog,

we will see frost. things will change triggered a, the mist and fog will clear. many eastern areas and into scotland will stay dry. maybe one of two shall stop if you are in northern ireland, wales and the south—west, a spell of rain will sweep across many parts in the day. snow on the tops of snowdonia but it turns mild. temperatures in two double figures. that story continues into tuesday night. driver a time but then this deep area of low pressure starts to push its way into the west. with that, outbreaks of rain across many areas on the date on wednesday. scotland during the afternoon, most persistent in the northern ireland. in the west, we could see winds anywhere between 55 and 70 mph. but with it, temperatures into the teens. the new brexit secretary stephen barclay has spentjust ten days in thejob. he is the third minister to take up the position since the role

was created in 2016. his predecessors dominic raab and david davis both resigned . stephenjoins me now from westminster. let's talk about this deal that has been ratified by eu leaders and looked at by eu leaders and took them a0 minutes to agree with the bare bones of it. many of your collea g u es bare bones of it. many of your colleagues don't think it's the best deal. what are you saying this morning? this is a deal that has been taking two years in terms of negotiation, to reach. the prime ministerfighting on negotiation, to reach. the prime minister fighting on behalf negotiation, to reach. the prime ministerfighting on behalf the entire committee. this is a good deal, it respects the referendum. it delivers on a lot of the key acts that we had such is to have a skills —based immigration system, to take control of our fishing so we can have a policy similar to iceland.

this is a result that respects the referendum. also protects jobs, ensures we have the security cooperation with europe which we need as part of our future relationship. you paint a positive picture that it doesn't appear it is going to get through. at least 80 tory mps will vote against it. if it doesn't get through parliament, many people are predicting it won't, what will happen? the prime minister has secured a very good deals of the united kingdom and it's now ourjob to make the case. this was only signed off yesterday. the withdrawal agreement, the package. it is now thejob of agreement, the package. it is now the job of cabinet to make that case to colleagues and to explain that this is a choice between a deal that delivers on the referendum, delivers for brexiteers like myself that wa nted for brexiteers like myself that wanted to have control of our money, borders and laws and it also explains the fact that the alternative would be significant uncertainty in the form of no brexit

or no deal it would be a risk to the jobs and security which i think such is something he still avoids. what is something he still avoids. what is the scenario if this doesn't get through parliament? i understand it needs to be sold but what happens —— what happens if it doesn't get through? many people are predicting it. people say politicians don't give an honest answer but the honest a nswer give an honest answer but the honest answer is no one would be sure. that would be unsharp territory and the fa ct would be unsharp territory and the fact is this is the only deal on the table. if they can to years of tough negotiations to get to this point. this is a deal that delivers on the referendum and the biggest in our history, it would be damaging to our democracy not to deliver on that boat. we need to move forward in a way that maintains that security cooperation and protects jobs and protects the supply line that is so important to our manufacturing and other industries. it is a good deal, at delivers on the referendum and

avoids the uncertainty, as you say, that would flow from the uncharted waters we would move into with the still doesn't go through. you say you voted leave. is this really the brexit that you wanted? you have people like iain duncan smith who campaigned, like you, to leave. he doesn't believe that this is the deal that delivers on what people voted for. all deals require compromise. that is inevitable. anyone enlighten us that. this is the fundamentals on what we campaigned for as brexiteers in the referendum. ‘s ending freedom of movement was a key part of the referendum campaign. not sending vast sums of money to europe. again, it was something that was much debated. it delivers on the referendum for those of us on the brexit side but also, we have got to recognise that the country was divided. it has been a very divisive time and it is now time to come together as a country. to unite behind this deal because it is the only deal on the table. the european leaders have taken —— made that

clear. the alternative would be massive uncertainty from a tsunami as well, we can't be sure what the outcome would be. you say it's the only deal and there is no other option. are you concerned this morning that it appears there are some some in europe who are beginning to use this deal already to seemingly threaten the uk? you have the spanish talking about gibraltar and the french talking about rich already. if you look at travolta, the prime minister has stood firm. —— the french talking about fish. —— looking at gibraltar. the prime minister has stood up for gibraltar. it is contradictory because it refers to going into what is known as the backstop but the point with the in that scenario, on day one, the the 27 would lose access to our fisheries. we can have

control over it and negotiate access in the way that i slant does. that is part of taking back control. that is part of taking back control. that is what wreck cities like me campaigned for in the referendum. we also have to recognise that we need to bring the country together. we need to protect jobs to bring the country together. we need to protectjobs —— brexiteers. we need a deal that delivers for the youthin we need a deal that delivers for the youth in thai united —— for the entire united kingdom. to look at the alternative which would be the uncertainty that and no vote would bring. you talk about uncertainty. our viewers, whenever we talk about brexit, we were talking about bobs this weekend, board of brexit. you are saying that if the prime minister does not get this through, the only other option is no deal altogether, is that correct? ——

bored of brexit. it could be no deal. the reason it is unclear as it would be a unilateral decision because it is difficult on the amount of time available to pass the legislation for that. it is not a straightforward process in terms of what is the question going to be, for a new referendum. that would need to be debated. then would you need to be debated. then would you need to be debated. then would you need to extend article 50? the fact is, it would lead to uncertainty and that uncertainty would be very damaging to business, very damaging to investment and therefore not good for thejobs of your to investment and therefore not good for the jobs of your viewers. we have a deal on the table and it's the only deal. the eu has made that clear, if taken three is to get to this point. it is now time to come together as a country. it would be damaging for our democracy if we don't honour the result of the referendum so we need to honour the result but do so in a way that they start jobs

result but do so in a way that they startjobs and safeguard our security. thank you very much, that is the brexit secretary stephen berkley speaking to us this morning. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. an investigation will continue this morning into what caused a shopfront in east london to collapse — — injuring a woman. it happened on leyton high road at the weekend — at a romanian delicatessen. the woman was taken to hospital with ‘non life—threatening' injuries. residents nearby were evacuated while emergency work took place. crime in the city of london has gone up by 20% in the past year. there are just over 8 thousand people who live in the city — although many thousands more work there. and there were 6 thousand crimes reported there. it includes a steep rise in violent crime — which is why the police have decided to increase their visibility on the streets.

westminster: bridge street remains closed between parliament square and victoria embankment for security works. in kings cross — kings cross road is closed for water works. and in central london, the strand underpass is closed for emergency repairs. it's been closed since thursday afternoon. expect delays over the bridge. now the weather with kate. good morning. it's a chilly start out there this morning but thanks to the cloud coverage overnight, temperatures are above zero. we are going to hang on to this cloud for much of the day. you might get some glimmers of brightness here and there. you'll notice these showers coming in from the east, looks like they will stay there but you can't rule one out anywhere. ‘s most places dry, cloudy and feeling chilly. temperatures today around seven or eight celsius. overnight tonight, we're hanging on to that cloud. we're likely to see the low cloud developing a little bit of mist, potentially. again showers out towards the east, most places staying dry. minimum temperature could in the suburbs and beyond get down to zero.

but the breeze starts to pick up as we head into tuesday and then things turn rather unsettled as we head through the rest of the week. tomorrow, outbreaks of rain and it becomes quite breezy. still a chilly day but notice on wednesday we pick up a south—westerly flow, the air is much milder but it turns wet and windy. that's it. you can tune in to bbc radio london for our breakfast show which is on until ten and i will be backin which is on until ten and i will be back in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast. i'm naga munchetty here in westminster, where theresa may will today begin the big sell of her brexit deal with the eu. the prime minister will warn mps that if they don't back the deal they risk more division and uncertainity. in parliament and beyond it, i will make the case for this deal with all my heart and i look forward to that campaign. however, she's facing

a huge challenge with all the opposition parties, the dup and dozens of tory backbenchers saying they won't support it. businesses need to get on with the job in hand. i am at a wedding manufacture in loughborough to find out what this family business and the people who work for them think of the deal. also this morning... tensions escalate after russia opens fire and seizes three ukranian naval vessels off the coast of crimea. mission to mars — a robotic probe is due to land on the red planet after an incredible 90 million milejourney. what a way to end the season! a fifth f1 world championship already confirmed. lewis hamilton celebrated victory in abu dhabi by taking showing the world the poem tattooed on his back. it is definitely tops on whether

today. showers in the east. milder, wetter and windierfrom today. showers in the east. milder, wetter and windier from tomorrow onwards. the details right here on brea kfast. good morning. it's monday 26th november. theresa may will today begin a campaign to rally support for her brexit withdrawal plan. mps are likely to vote on it on december 12th. later this morning the prime minister will hold a cabinet meeting before making a statement to mps in the commons. but the opposition parties, the dup and many of her own backbenchers have already said they will oppose the plan. our political correspondent alex forsyth has more. theresa may arrived home yesterday with the ink fresh on the deal that will take us out of the eu. in brussels, she got the backing of eu leaders. now she must sell it to sceptical mps and the public. 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 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. there's two parts to this deal. the withdrawal agreement deals with our exit. there will be a transition period after we leave in march when not much changes until december 2020 so new arrangements can be worked out. it settles the divorce bill and guarantees the rights of eu and uk citizens living abroad and it contains that controversial backstop plan to avoid a hard irish border if there is no trade deal. then there is a political declaration which talks about an ambitious future partnership in trade, free movement will end, but the details have not been agreed and this document isn't legally binding. the prime minister and other eu leaders say this deal is the best it gets but back home, many disagree. what she has created

is something that satisfies very, very few people. so, the chances of getting through, this deal through parliament i think is effectively nil. here, all the opposition parties and many conservative mps have said they will not support this deal. so, the challenge for the prime minister is to try to win them round before a crucial vote in a few weeks. alex forsyth, bbc news. i'm joined by our political correspondent, ben wright. morning, the light is here at the moment but it looks like things might clearupa moment but it looks like things might clear up a little bit today with theresa may. ido i do not think she will be expecting cross party plaudits. she knows the distance to this deal which feels like a compromise that pleases almost nobody runs deep in parliament for that she has 80, 90 tory mps who have said they will vote against it. labour is dead set

against it. the dup has said it will vote against it and the lib dems. it is almost impossible to see how the government can win this vote and ta ke government can win this vote and take it over the deal in a fortnight. things are brave fluid. theresa may wants to circumvent parliament and take it to voters and business. you use the word fluid, some might say it is confusing regarding the options. sir vince cable standing here moment ago saying there is wiggle room when it comes to the 29th of march. adam fleming saying, perhaps there is but the timetable of all the options is quite hard to figure out, isn't it? all that is certain is the remorseless ticking clock. the uk will be leaving at the 29th of march and that is the only certainty. when

theresa may says it is this deal or no deal, the default position is to leave without a deal. that is written into law. if it falls there will be an extraordinary political frenzy and a contest for plan b. it is not clear what plan b would be. someone is another referendum, others would be happy to leave with no deal. there is talk of a general election. vague talk of the negotiations starting again will stop it is hard to see where the deal goes if it is voted down. that may be the position we are in in a few weeks' time. thank you so much. and in a few minutes, i'll be speaking to the shadow brexit secretary, sir kier starmer. plenty more still to come from westminster here on breakfast but, for now though, dan has the rest of today's news. back with you very shortly. russia has seized three ukrainian naval vessels off the coast of crimea. in an escalation of tensions between the countries,

moscow said the ships had breached its territorial waters. the ukrainian president has described it as an act of aggression. our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg has the latest. this is a serious escalation in the conflict between russia and ukraine, a conflict which began back in 201a with moscow's annexation of crimea. so, what actually happened on sunday? well, off the coast of crimea, three ukrainian naval vessels were shot at and seized by russian forces. moscow says that those vessels illegally entered russian territorial waters and were performing dangerous manoeuvres. kiev says that is simply not true, that those vessels were not in russian waters, and that this was an act of aggression by moscow. the result of all of this is that ukraine's president, petro poroschenko, will later today ask the ukrainian parliament to support a declaration of martial law. now, this won't mean that kiev is declaring war on moscow. it will mean that the state, the ukrainian state,

is asking for enhanced powers to boost the country's defences. but petro poroschenko's critics, and there are many of them at home, his popularity has fallen quite low, they wonder whether martial law is simply an attempt by the president to make himself look strong to boost his popularity ahead of presidential elections at the end of march next year. or possibly even a way of postponing the election if martial law will be extended. the royal college of surgeons is calling for compulsory registration of every medical device or implant put into a patient in the uk. the proposal comes after an investigation by media organisations around the world found evidence of inadequate testing and faulty equipment. the devices include heart pacemakers, rods to correct spines, and artificial knees and hips. you can see more on the investigation in tonight's panorama, at 8:30pm on bbc one. mexico says it will deport a group of migrants who attempted to force their way across the border

by customers if their complaint has not been resolved within a0 working days. after six months in space, the nasa insight mission to mars is due to land on the red planet later today. the probe has travelled 90 million miles and, once it has landed on mars, it will start a series of experiments including drilling 15 feet underground. this is the first time that scientists have looked deep beneath the surface of any planet other than earth. those are some of the main stories. some breaking news to bring you from saudi arabia. you'll have seen over the last few days news about matthew hedges a british phd student who was sentenced to life in prison the united arab emirates. i said saudi arabia, uae. he was therefore spying. at durham university, 31

yea rs spying. at durham university, 31 years old. he has only said he was innocent and research in the country's go to strategy. the press conference is ongoing at the moment. there are rumours that he may well be released this morning. i know the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has beenin foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has been in talks with his counterpart in the united arab emirates over the past few days he says he is far more positive this week than last week. if there are more details, we have a correspondent in saudi arabia and do buy as well. if there is any more details on that we will bring it to you as soon as we get it. —— dubai. naga has keir starmer with her this morning. labour says it will vote against what it describes as a bad

dealfor against what it describes as a bad deal for our country. the liberal democrats snp, dup, are also likely to reject it. i am joined by sir keir starmer. are you well? very well, thank you. you say you would negotiate a better deal. jean—claude juncker says this is the best deal. what are the better deal look like? yesterday at the signed up in brussels and it is inevitable that the prime minister and the eu will say that is it because we are now fronting up to the big vote in two was three weeks' time. i have never accepted and do not accept that when we are talking about the future of the uk we have a choice between a bad deal or no deal which is even worse and we cannot accept that. this is the best deal, jean—claude juncker says. the irish prime minister says any other deal only exists in the imagination. this is a bad deal. a lot better could have

been negotiated had the prime minister started in a different place. you would say you are the opposition, you would say that but look what is happening, mps from all parties are saying it is not a good deal and we cannot pretend it is. that is why it is almost certainly not going to get through. what does a better deal look like? one which protects manufacturing properly and protects manufacturing properly and protects the services sector. also properly protects people's rights at work and the environment and collaborating the agencies that matters so much. the prime minister set off with red lines she should never have put in place and she has endedin never have put in place and she has ended in the wrong place and i is why everyone thinks it is a bad deal. even the prime minister is not going out there and saying it is a really good deal. she has two weeks to do that. her message is really important because she is not saying this is great, it is a fantastic dealfor the future.

this is great, it is a fantastic deal for the future. what she is saying is there is nothing else and no deal is even worse than this. you had two sides negotiating, both wanting a good dealfor them. nobody wa nted wanting a good dealfor them. nobody wanted to give anything away. when the head of the european union says it is the best deal, why do you not believe it? it is in the context of these negotiations. the president of lithuania actually said more flexibly yesterday, if the deal goes down and there is a general election, a second vote or a renegotiation, we will have to look at it. i accept at the moment people are bound to say that that we need to look at the logic. if the logic is if you take bad or even worse it is if you take bad or even worse it isa is if you take bad or even worse it is a massive decision for the next generation we are going to take. let's talk about how the labour party appears to be split in many ways. there are lots of calls for a

second referendum. jeremy corbyn does not support this. a lot of labour constituencies voted to leave and it appears the labour party is funny ina and it appears the labour party is funny in a way of the uk leaving the use seamlessly with less friction. this suggestion that labour is split has been put to me for two years. i took that on at conference where we had thousands of people together and thought about the decisions we had to make as a party over the next few months and we all agreed we would vote the deal down if it meets did not meet our test. otherwise we would seek a general election. we would seek a general election. we would pass that unanimously at conference and actually the labour party as a whole has got behind the policy motion. i'm not going to pretend there are not different views. why doesn't jeremy corbyn support a second referendum it most of the party does? he supports the policy passed at conference which means that if no general election, if the deal goes down, other options including a public vote need to be available so he was in favour of

that policy position, as was the whole labour party. talking about a general election, you would need support from dozens of tory mps and have to change legislation because there is a fixed term parliament legislation. that will not be easy. it is difficult. why is there adding more and more political confusion? people are watching programmes like this and are so frustrated.” people are watching programmes like this and are so frustrated. i don't think it is adding to confusion, we know we have a deal to vote on and if it does not get through and it doesn't look like it will come up to 100 tory mps will vote against it, the dup well, that is the prime minister losing her supply and confidence. and you think that automatically means stepping onto a general election? if she loses that because so many of her own side had gone against her, the next question is how on earth does she get a bit legislation through until 2022 if her support has fallen away? of course you are right that the labour party cannot get a general election just by asking for it but i don't

think it is an impossible thing to happen. if it doesn't, that is why we agreed at conference to press on to other options like the public vote. the prime minister had said to just get on with brexit, let's make it as just get on with brexit, let's make itasa just get on with brexit, let's make it as a seamless and painless as possible. can't we just do that?l lot of people are bored of the whole process and frustrated and i understand that but we cannotjust wave it through because it is a bad deal. people will come to us in yea rs deal. people will come to us in years and say, why on earth did you let that happen? we would have to a nswer let that happen? we would have to answer them. sir keir starmer, thank you very much. back to you, dan. we we re you very much. back to you, dan. we were telling you about a press conference taking place in the united arab emirates. in the last few minutes it has been announced that british student, matthew hedges, is among hundreds of prisoners to be pardoned in the united arab emirates. the press conference has now ended.

we know that he was sentenced to life in prison for spying. he was there from durham university. he has a lwa ys there from durham university. he has always said it was researching the country's security strategy. he had been detained for more than six months and was sentenced last wednesday after being convicted without his lawyer in a court hearing that lasted just five minutes. his wife had spoken this morning as well and said she cannot wait to have matt back at home. he has been given that a presidential pardon this morning. we know there we re pardon this morning. we know there were discussions taking place between the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt over the weekend and i think he was speaking at length yesterday to his counterpart in the uae. he was saying it was far more positive this week than last week and that positivity seems to have been well placed. you might have seen in the last few days, the news about matt

cap! hedges. in the last few minutes he has been given a presidential pardon but we will have more details on that when we get them. we have a corresponding waiting for us in dubai who we can hopefully speak to a bit later. matthew hedges has been released, a presidential pardon having been sentenced to life last wednesday and his wife has said that she cannot wait to have him come back home. more details a bit later on. let's find out what is happening with the weather. what is happening? a cool start to the week again, frost out in northern and western areas but it is a weak change because after a chilly start things will turn milder during the day tomorrow but there will be some heavy rain and in the middle of the week, the potential for heavy rain and in the middle of the week, the potentialfor some

disruptive winds which are linked into this cloud in the atlantic. held at bay at the moment because of the high pressure in the north and the high pressure in the north and the easterly winds are fending them off but they will weaken through the day. they are bringing that cold feeling and some showers, some wintry over the higher ground, rain showers in parts of the midlands, eastern england and the south of northern ireland. you could get —— michael could get a bit soggy in those places. mostly dry, the best of the sunshine with frost in the west and it will be an east—west split. looking at the details this afternoon, a few showers in orkney, shetland and ethan scout and —— in eastern scotland. most of northern ireland will be dry. western scotland, western england, wales has a lot of sunshine, a few sunny brea ks a lot of sunshine, a few sunny breaks further east but on the eastern counties, we have some showers especially on the coast and they could be heavy at times. tonight, the showers become fewer in

number on the coast, mist and fog more of an issue in parts of england and wales. where you get any cloud brea ks and wales. where you get any cloud breaks about anywhere there could be some frost to take us into tomorrow morning. chilly airtomorrow some frost to take us into tomorrow morning. chilly air tomorrow morning again but much of scotland, and eastern england will be dry, the same for much of north—west england. in northern ireland, wales and the south—west, even if you start out dry, there could be a spell of rain lasting a few hours as it moves northward on strengthening winds, touching gale force at times, but look at the temperatures, 11 or 12 degrees, milder air on look at the temperatures, 11 or 12 degrees, milderair on way look at the temperatures, 11 or 12 degrees, milder air on way which will spread on tuesday night without rain clearing. it will be dry for a time but this next system, deeper and more potent, moves in on wednesday. the winds are the big story at this stage, widespread gales with winds up to 65 mph in the west and up to 75 in north—west

scotland. outbreaks of rain coming and going, not completely soggy but the longer spells are likely in northern ireland and parts of scotland. temperatures on wednesday around 11—1ad. as i said, things are set to turn much milder after a chilly start to the week. how is it looking for the next few weeks question is it set to continue? it will do towards the weekend. no sign of the cold air coming back in the short term.” asked carroll last week about a white christmas, what can you say?” will tell you on boxing day! this thank you. a reminder of the breaking news, matthew hedges, the british phd student who was sentenced to life last wednesday in the united arab emirates, in a hearing that took place without his lawyer, this more than he has been

given a presidential pardon. —— make up given a presidential pardon. —— make up this morning. there was a press conference after a discussion yesterday between the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, and his counterpart and the news has come through in the last ten minutes that matthew hedges has been given that full pardon and his wife, daniela, says she cannot wait for him to come home. we can speak to paul blake who is in the uae. yes, we have seen a statement from the state run news agency here who say the ministry of presidential affairs has announced that the pardon has been issued with immediate effect by his harness will stop this comesjust immediate effect by his harness will stop this comes just in the few minutes after the press conference -- his minutes after the press conference —— his highness. a video was shown at the top of that which purports to bea at the top of that which purports to be a confession bite matthew hedges.

it includes him saying that he is a member of m16, that he was looking into the military system is being purchased by the uae and him saying he was essentially approaching his sources under the cover of being a phd student. we don't know whether he was speaking under duress or any other factors were at play. we know that this was the video being shared by the emma they said this pardon comes with immediate effect and ahead of their national date which isa ahead of their national date which is a big celebration of the country. that is on december two are just a few days away. 785 prisoners have been released in total and we had word last night about them being released but we were not sure if it was matthew hedges and we were trying to figure it out but the news coming in that press conference and from the state run news agency that we will be released soon and on his way back to britain presumably quite soon. how much do we know about how much pressure has come from the

british government? we knowjeremy hunt was talking to his counterpart in the uae yesterday so has there been frantic negotiations going on? it seems like that. we had this verdict on wednesday which surprised the british government and the family of matthew hedges. since then, strong statements from the british government, jeremy hunt made a statement saying that this was shocking and disappointing and that it went against assurances he had been given when he was here previously. we also heard him saying they would be strong diplomatic repercussions for the relationship between the uae and the uk and that isa between the uae and the uk and that is a strong economic and cultural relationship. a lot of brits live here as expats, many come for holidays because of the weather. there is this strong statement from jeremy hunt and we know there was a call from jeremy hunt to his

counterpart here, the foreign secretary here, yesterday and jeremy hunt said on the bbc over the weekend that he was hopeful for an outcome. certainly the uae ambassador in london said last week he was looking for an amicable solution. i think there has been quite a frantic and quick diplomatic effort behind the scenes since the verdict came down last wednesday. thank you very much for that, paul. matthew hedges, he was sentenced to life in prison last week for spying in the united arab emirates, has been freed after being given a presidential pardon and his wife says she cannot wait for him to come home. cliff richard is on the way later and we will be back in westminster but let's get the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching. over the last week or so we have had
