and at half past eleven we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers caroline wheeler and henry mance. stay with us for that. the us space agency nasa, has landed another probe on the surface of mars, as part of its study of how the red planet was formed. after a voyage lasting 6 months, the insight spacecraft made its descent onto the planet's surface, a manoeuvre involving high risk. our science correspondent victoria gill is in pasadena. everything went absolutely perfectly, just like the life—size

model of insight is sitting in the stand behind me, the real one is on mars, it even sent a picture from its home, where it will be doing two yea rs of its home, where it will be doing two years of discovering science. touchdown confirmed! after a six—month journey and a perilous descent, relief and joy at mission control. i am over the moon, it is incredible, this is my first mission, i still feel nervous, like i don't know the adrenaline is still going through me, but we are on mars, it worked, it was a soft landing, everything was perfect, which is so rare, and now ijust want more data, i want to see what is happening on mars! nasa's insight lander plunged through the martian atmosphere at 12,000 mph, touching down slowly and safely to send its signal home. and here the first pictures it's sent of its new home. insight will carefully examine its surroundings so scientists can select exactly where to place scientific equipment.

we are going to give mars its first checkup in 4 billion years and do it by deploying the first seismometer to the surface of mars ever, and will measure quakes, and then we will deploy a thermal mole to dig into the surface to take mars‘ temperature. as it studies the deep interior of mars robotically, it will be sending data back here to mission control in california, and people here will use that data to work out exactly how rocky worlds like as, mars and the moon actually formed 4.5 billion years ago. they lovingly call this the centre of the universe. ok, here we go! back in the 1970s, astronauts drilled into the moon to take its temperature and study its structure. it's going right in! almost 50 years on, now the same analysis can be carried out on mars. a two—year mission begins, building a picture of the hidden depths of the red planet. the next thing that we need to know

is whether this craft has unfurled its solar at arrays. that is key because that would generate all of the powerful its instruments so it can send its data in planetary geology to earth. the prime minister has been under relentless attack in the house of commons defending her brexit deal and urging mps to approve it. but many conservative mps declared their outright opposition, and labour said that embracing it would be an act of ‘national self harm'. two things were finalised in brussels yesterday. the withdrawal agreement, setting out the terms of britain's departure from the eu, and the draft political declaration detailing britain's future relationship with the eu, though that is not a legally binding document. the overall deal will be voted on in the house of commons on december 11th. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg has the latest. she's in a hurry.

after nearly two years of talks, theresa may has 15 days to get parliament on her side. she has to convince enough of them her brexit compromise is worth it. the prime minister... there is a choice which this house will have to make. we can back this deal, deliver on the vote of the referendum, or this house can choose to reject this deal and go back to square one. the british people want us to get on with a deal that honours the referendum and allows us to come again together... allows us to come together again as a country, whichever way we voted. as you can hear, the trouble for theresa may, she's surrounded by people who've made their minds up to reject her deal. this deal does not have the support of either side of this house or the country as a whole. mr speaker, ploughing on is not stoic, it's an act of national self—harm. the prime minister now needs to repaira plan b...

it's been hard enough getting the cabinet behind a deal. the compromise that keeps close economic ties to the eu, they're certainly not all as enthusiastic as this. the thing is that anything could happen if this deal doesn't get through, and that's my concern, that's why i want to back this agreement and urge all my colleagues to do the same. i think it's very important that we back the prime minister, she's secured a good deal for britain and it will mean that we'll be able to control our borders, we'll be in charge of immigration, we'll be outside the common fisheries policy and outside the common agricultural policy. and in the event that there's a dispute... there is organised resistance right around westminster. meet some of the eurosceptics vowing to vote against. this is not the brexit deal that the majority of the people voted for. i'm not going to support it. is there anything be prime minister could say to change your mind? absolutely not. this is a 585—page surrender document. and that's why many, many conservative mps will never vote for our country to surrender to...

anybody. unfortunately, she's caved in. and that is a sad note on which to begin this debate, but the debate that has got to be had has got to be uncompromising. do you think there's any chance as a group that this will actually go through parliament? no. not a hope. no way. ridiculous. i think it's highly unlikely. round the corner, a different group, from different parties, who will vote against as well. with some familiar faces, they're arguing for another referendum, releasing independent forecasts that suggest we'll be much poorer if we leave. the country has absolutely a right to a final say, and the way to get that is through a people's vote. but vince cable, there's no sign at all that theresa may is listening to your request. it will come to the point that parliament instructs her — it may come to that. so she doesn't need to change her mind. but i think the overwhelming weight in parliament is that her deal is no good, it will be voted down. if you think about the future

of the country, because people may be bored with the subject is not the basis upon which we should take a decision like that. hearing the passion from mps on all sides, it seems almost impossible that no 10 could pull this off. but politics moves at hyperspeed these days — things could change, and change fast. we know now when the vote will be, two weeks tomorrow. but until perhaps that night itself, we won't know if it can pass. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. earlier this evening, president trump described the brussels agreement as a good dealfor the eu and said it could harm trade between the uk and the us. 0ur north america editorjon sopel explained the signifiance behind the president's comments. you have had theresa may taking a kicking in the house of commons and what do you find, your closest ally in the shape of donald trump putting on his size 12 boots and joining in.

don't think this was in anyway accidental, off—the—cuff, misspoken, i think donald trump knew exactly what he was doing with these remarks. there isn't very open line of medication, i understand, between senior members this administration and prominent eurus get x and donald trump has expressed these doubtful views be. it in some ways, these comments have been provocative, when he says the eu has a very good deal, thatis he says the eu has a very good deal, that is provocative, when he says that is provocative, when he says that the uk may not be able to trade with us, that is also again a bit provocative because trade will carry on in much the same way as before. what is a statement of fact is that it can is tied to eu rules and therefore has to accept eu rules, it cannot just negotiate therefore has to accept eu rules, it cannotjust negotiate a trade deal on everything. downing street says nothing to worry about, all is fine, talks are going on. matthew hedges, the british academic who was jailed on spying charges in the united arab emirates, has been pardoned and could be home as early as tomorrow.

he'd been sentenced to life in prison last week, but the case prompted intense diplomatic efforts by the foreign office. mr hedges had always protested his innocence, but officials in the uae say he's still considered to be a spy, as our diplomatic correspondent paul adams reports. matthew hedges' six month ordeal is almost over. five days after being handed a life sentence, he will soon be home. mr hedges will be permitted to leave the country once all the formalities are complete. the hoped for announcement came this morning, but with it a sting in the tail. the authorities in the united arab emirates still accuse matthew hedges of spying. he was part—time phd researcher, part—time businessman, but he was 100% a full—time secret service operative. but his wife has always maintained his innocence. she's campaigned for months to secure his release. in my heart i know what matt is, he's a phd researcher. his colleagues know it

and his family know it, and hundreds of academics round the world know it, and that's all that matters. the most important thing really is that now we'll have him back home safely and he'll be able to finish his thesis. matthew hedges knows the uae well — he worked there for several years before starting his phd on aspects of the country's security policy. the government here doesn't think that should have landed him injail. we've made it very clear for a number of months now, that we see no basis in these allegations. they have reflected on that, they have taken the action they can, which means that matthew hedges is going to be reunited with his family. the uae remains convinced that matthew hedges was indeed a spy. he was certainly researching some sensitive areas, including the country's military capabilities and its role in the war in yemen. but what he and most academics would regard as perfectly legitimate, the uae saw as suspect. in the end, it seems the uae

put its relationship with britain first. it's an ally, a major trading partner, and a big importer of british made weapons. more than 100,000 uk nationals live and work there. every year, over a million britons go there on holiday. there's a lot at stake. matthew hedges' family say the ordeal has taken its toll and that he'll need time to recover. his life and career, put on hold six months ago, are about to resume. paul adams, bbc news. british summers are likely to get hotter and drier over the next 50 years because of the effects of climate change. that's according to the latest projections from the met office. it says without action to cut greenhouse gases, summers could be more than 5 degrees celsius hotter than current levels by 2070, in the most extreme scenario. and there are stark warnings about sea levels, which could rise by over a metre, flooding some coastal areas, as our science editor david shukman reports. global warming threatens different

countries in different ways, and scientists have spent the last few years trying to work out what it means for us. wild weather is nothing new for britain, but this latest research says more extremes are likely, as the climate changes. the study says floods are set to become more frequent, as the level of the sea rises and storms deliver more rain. and there's a worrying conclusion. we have a key role in defending communities, but we know we can't protect people from every flood event, and therefore we're going to need to make hard choices about where we live in the future, where we work. as temperatures are set to rise, the scientists have produced different scenarios for the future climate. these are based on computer simulations of how much more greenhouse gas will be added to the air. gases like carbon dioxide have the effect of warming the planet, and at the moment the world keeps pumping out more. what this report shows is that climate change

will affect everyone, wherever they live. so for people on the coasts, the level of the sea could go up by more than a metre. that's probably manageable for london, protected by the thames barrier, but very threatening for many other communities. summer temperatures could go up by more than five degrees. think of the implications for heatwaves and the need for air conditioning. and the chances of a summer like the one we just had earlier this year could go up to 50% by 2050. it depends what the world does with its emissions of greenhouse gases. if we continue on this trajectory of increasing emissions, then this heatwave this summer will look like a cool year. now, if these projections are right, what else could change by the end of the century? in a worst—case scenario, england could see summer rainfall drop by 35%. the same could happen in wales.

in winter in scotland, rain and snow could increase by a fifth, as in northern ireland. but some scientists say climate change poses real dangers but we can't yet forecast them in such detail. the knowledge of climate change comes from really basic science, and this, the uk climate projections, are really at the edge of new research. and they shouldn't be taken with the same confidence that we have that climate change is a threat. a thermal image of last summer's heatwave. predicting exactly when and where extreme heat will strike in future is clearly a challenge, but scientists are working on it, and there is a consensus about the trend that we are heading for a warmer world. david shukman, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: nasa's insight spacecraft lands sucessfully on mars, the first of its kind designed to study the internal structure of the planet. a day after striking the deal in brussels,

theresa may goes to parliament to face critics from all sides of the house of commons. british summers could be five degrees hotter by 2070 if greenhouse gas emissions aren't cut, according to new met office projections. an inquest into the death of the former welsh government minister, carl sargeant, has opened in north wales. mr sargeant, who'd been sacked last november following accusations of sexual misconduct, was found dead four days later at his home. wales correspondent sian lloyd reports. carl sargeant was a well—known figure in the welsh assembly. his death last year left his family grief—stricken and sent shock waves through the welsh political establishment in cardiff bay. his body was found at his family home four days after he'd been sacked from his post and suspended from the welsh labour party amid allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denied. walking arm—in—arm, mr sargeant‘s wife bernie and sonjack came

to his inquest today, where the note that she'd found close to her husband's body was read to the court. directed to family and friends, it said: the inquest heard that carl sargeant had suffered from depression and had been prescribed medication on a number of occasions. a former colleague, leighton andrews, said he was concerned about the impact that tv interviews given by the welsh first minister, carwyn jones, about the alleged complaints, had on his state of mind. he considered it to be irresponsible. the coroner reminded mr andrews that was his opinion, and the inquest will hear from the first minister, carwynjones, later in the week. sian lloyd, bbc news, ruthin. ukraine has tonight voted to impose

martial law in parts of the country, following russia's seizure of three ukrainian navy ships off crimea yesterday. russia claims it has acted legally, but ukraine says it's the latest in a series of provocative acts in recent years. in early 2014, popular protests led to the overthrow of ukraine's president, who was close to russia, after he rejected closer links with the european union. president putin then acted swiftly to annexe the region of crimea, which had close links with russia. moscow also intervened in eastern ukraine to create a separatist movement, sparking a violent civil war which has since claimed 10,000 lives. yesterday saw russia sieze vessels in the narrow kerch strait, a marine route important to the ukrainian economy. 0ur moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, reports. off the coast of crimea, russian border guards on collision course with the ukrainian navy.

the russians target a tug boat. the hint is less than subtle. later, russian forces shoot and seize the target and two other ukrainian vassals. this apparently a mayday from a ukrainian sailor as the russians storm his boat. a russian replies. the vessels were towed to russian—controlled crimea. 23 ukrainian servicemen have been detained. after the dramas at sea, the political battles over who's responsible. moscow's reaction — don't blame russia. 0fficials here have been presenting what happened as a ukrainian provocation in russian territorial waters. well, ukraine rejects that and insists this was an act of aggression against its navy.

0n the streets of kiev, they agree. "death to russia," he shouts. protests and pyrotechnics outside the russian embassy. ukraine's president, petro poroshenko, called for 30 days of martial law in parts of the country. meanwhile, at the united nations, this warning for moscow. the united states will maintain its crimea—related sanctions against russia. further russian escalation of this kind will only make matters worse. to some, the incident is a reminder ofjust how dangerous the russia—ukraine conflict is. the war continues to be live. and the war could escalate any moment. it will endanger the relationship between russia and the west.

at sea and in the sky, russia has sent a clear message to ukraine and to the west — don't mess with moscow. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. a convicted paedophile has declined to continue giving evidence in court today during his cross examination. russell bishop is on trial for the second time for killing nicola fellows and karen hadaway, in light of new forensic evidence. the friends were sexually assaulted and strangled in brighton in 1986. bishop denies the charges. the trial continues. a labour mp who's accused of lying to avoid a speeding charge is facing a retrial after a jury failed to reach a verdict. fiona 0nasanya, the mp for peterborough, is alleged to have colluded with her brother to escape prosecution. she denies perverting the course of justice. president trump has described migrants trying to cross into america from mexico as stone cold criminals. his comments came as police fired tear gas at hundreds who attempted

to rush the border fence at tijuana, as they tried to enter the united states. 0ur correspondent, will grant, reports from tijuana. when the poorest people in the americas tried to force their way into its richest country, then that with resistance, riot police and teargas. what with resistance, riot police and tea rgas. what began with resistance, riot police and teargas. what began as a peaceful protest over their asylum claims soon descended into a scramble towards the border. the us and mexico closed the crossing and pushed them back. the caravan awoke this morning u nsettled the caravan awoke this morning unsettled by the violence, which had prompted a much greater police presence. son had been deported for taking part. 0thers presence. son had been deported for taking part. others had been caught with their children in the plumes of teargas fired at them from the us side of the border. translation: we we re side of the border. translation: we were pushed and pulled, kicked by the police. my wife was hit and so

caravan, though, don't want to cause problems. as the temperatures drop into one, they're facing christmas in the open air, camped out by the border wall. —— in tijuana. they know another attempt to run across would see them deported with the us already insight. will grant, bbc news, gear wanna. italian film director bernardo bertolucci, widely regarded as one of the giants of world cinema, has died after a long illness. he was 77. his career spanned more than half a century, and his films included the iconic last tango in paris and the last emperor. our correspondent, lizo mzimba, looks back on his life and achievements. look! this was perhaps bernardo bertolucci's masterpiece. the last emperor, the true story of pu yi, only a small child when he became china's last imperial ruler. it swept the oscars, winning nine academy awards, including best film and best

firector for bertolucci himself. the historical epic, years in the making, was also a movie—making milestone. it was the first film allowed to be shot in beijing's forbidden city, something the director felt was essential for his vision. i couldn't find another place like the forbidden city. this is an incredible, amazing, huge place. i mean, hollywood never dared to build a set like this one. years before, his early film, the conformist, had been an influence on directors like spielberg. he went on to make one of the most controversial films of the 1970s — last tango in paris shocked audiences with its sexual content. before her death, the actress,

maria schneider, said the way the director and her male co—star, marlon brando, decided to film one scene made herfeel as if she'd been assaulted. bertolucci denied this, saying she was aware in advance of the violent nature of the scene in question. in recent years, he'd been in ill health but still travelled the globe, doing everything from being celebrated with a star on the hollywood walk of fame to being presented with an honorary palme d'or at the cannes film festival. he'll be remembered as one of cinema's greats, much of whose work is as powerful today as when it was first experienced by audiences. italian film director bernardo bertolucci, who's died at the age of 77. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, caroline wheeler, who's the deputy political editor at the sunday times, and the political commentator, jane merrick. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30pm. u nfortu nately

atlantic, the jet driving them in our direction and we will see bouts of wind and rain. here's the first one, moving into western parts on tuesday. wind gusts up to 50 mph, even a bit more in exposed coastal spots in the west. eastern areas having one last quiet and chilly day, but as we go through tuesday night, we'll see this rain, with temporarily snow over high ground in the north, pushing north—east. another batch of heavy downpours from the south—west by the end of the night, but it will be a bit milder, 7—10 degrees, because the winds will come from the south—west. really strong winds on wednesday. look at the light lines, the isobars squeezing together on this chart. we're widely going to see gales and with those gales, very heavy bursts of rain, particularly heavy and persistent for some hills in south—eastern scotland. these are the sorts of wind gusts we're expecting, 60, 70 mph

the sorts of wind gusts we're expecting, 60,70 mph in the most exposed spots, especially in the west, but the winds from the south—west, temperatures higher than they have been, 12—15. from wednesday into thursday, another bout of wind and rain. another area of low pressure starting to develop. it looks most likely like we'll see the strongest winds in the west but there is uncertainty about how potent that particular area of low pressure will be. once the first band of rain clears, we're left with sunshine and heavy blustery showers into thursday afternoon. those temperatures may be easing back a little bit. friday is a day of sunshine and showers. the showers most plentiful in northern areas, some heavy and thundery. not as many further south. still windy and those temperatures getting a little bit, 9-11 temperatures getting a little bit, 9—11 degrees at best. into the weekend, low pressure still the dominant feature for sure, but notice not as many light lines, not

as notice not as many light lines, not as many isoba rs notice not as many light lines, not as many isobars on the chart by this stage. even though we will see rain at times on the weekend, not quite as at times on the weekend, not quite as windy. as we get into next week, looks like things will continue to quieten down because the jetstream is going to leave us alone again by the looks. looks most likely that the looks. looks most likely that the jet will head to the north of the jet will head to the north of the uk, leaving us with quieter conditions, high pressure allowed to build back in from the south. low pressure always close to northern areas, so pressure always close to northern areas, so could be some rain here. this sort of setup is always likely to bring a westerly wind. what does that mean? next week will be drier with lighter winds, the chance of rain in the north but with the westerly winds, still fairly mild. the return of something quieter not necessarily colder.
