north london derby after lucas torreira scores his first goal for the club. and later this hour, tomorrow's world investigates miracle material starlite, which never made it out of the lab despite appearing to have incredible properties. good afternoon. the environment secretary michael gove has said the government can win the crucial commons vote on theresa may's brexit deal in nine days' time. dozens of conservative mps have said they won't support the agreement. good afternoon. mr gove, one of the original leaders of the leave campign, said the deal was not perfect, but warned that the alternative would be no deal or no brexit.

labour has confirmed that it will call for a vote of no confidence in the government if the prime minister fails to win the backing of mps. our political correspondent jonathan blake reports. one final photo for theresa may at the g20 summit in argentina, before returning to face the battle over her brexit deal. she must convince enough of her mps to back it when parliament votes in nine days' time. the area i have the greatest concern... now one of the leading voices in the leave campaign, who at times has had big worries, says although it is not ideal, it does what it needs to do. this deal of course is not perfect, but it does provide those of us who campaigned to leave with an opportunity to take back control of our borders and have control of our immigration policy. it means we end the huge automatic sums that go to the eu every week and it gives us the capacity in huge sectors of the economy to diverge if we think that is right.

michael gove‘s support is seen as key to the prime minister's survival. but had he considered following some of his colleagues out of the cabinet in protest at the agreement with the eu? i reflected long and hard about the deal but i concluded, like lots of people, that while it is not perfect, it is the right thing to do. it is because i understand and appreciate and feel uncomfortable with parts of this deal that i also understand and appreciate how many of my colleagues feel. the plan to avoid a hard border in northern ireland if a trade deal can't be reached in time is the focus of debate. mps have demanded to see in full legal advice some suspect warns the uk could be stuck in that backstop arrangement indefinitely. the attorney general will give parliament a summary. that is not enough for some. the first thing i should say is i don't want to go down this path. i said to the government two weeks ago and i said last week, do the right thing, you have

been ordered to produce this advice, just produce it. if they don't produce it tomorrow, we will start contempt proceedings, this will be a collision course between the government and parliament. that then has to be debated in the house and an order can be made of contempt. the prime minister's been working hard to convince the country about her brexit deal, but now she must hope enough mps have been won over too. labour has warned if she fails it would push for a vote of no confidence in the government. there are nine days to go until parliament has its say. the french president emmanuel macron has been meeting senior ministers after some of the worst rioting in paris for years. more than 100 people were injured in saturday's anti—government protests, including 23 members of the security forces. the latest figures from the police say more than 400 people were arrested. cordelia hemming reports.

the morning after. time for the clean—up operation. washing away the anti—macron graffiti which now covers much of the front of the arc de triomphe. saturday's running battles between riot police and protesters were of a different order from the trouble that is seen at regular demonstrations in paris. police fired tear gas, stun grenades and water cannons. masked protesters hurled projectiles and set buildings on fire. what began two weeks ago as a peaceful protest by the so—called yellow vest movement against rising fuel taxes has now evolved into a far broader show of anti—government anger. at the g20 in argentina, the french president condemned the violence. translation: what happened in paris has nothing to do with the peaceful expression of legitimate anger.

no cause justifies that authorities are attacked. that businesses are plundered, passers—by orjournalists are threatened. emmanuel macron has now returned to paris following the summit to assess the damage and hold an emergency meeting. the government insists much of the violence may well have been caused by rioters and extremists of both the left and the right. whilst many survey the damage, macron now faces a dilemma in how to respond to a grassroots movement which has no formal leaders. parents should not expect schools to police children's eating and exercise or toilet train pupils, according to england's chief inspector of education. amanda spielman will argue that the answer to the obesity crisis lies in the home, and that parents should not abdicate responsibility. earlier, our correspondent

jenny kumah said amanda spielman has been outspoken on a number of issues, since taking up the role. it seems that the issue really here is about what you learn, when, and who should teach it to you. things like toilet training, which you may think is obvious how you learn that, but there can be a number of people involved in a child's life and so the responsibility can be shared on a number of issues. in a speech later this week that she will be giving to teachers and social care professionals, she will be making clear what she feels is not a school's responsibility. so if we take the issue of knife crime and have a look at some of her speech, she says that she believes the lines of responsibility are getting blurred and while schools can play a role in educating young people about the danger of knives, they cannot be a panacea for this particular societal ill. she will say it is up to everyone to work together to find a solution. 0n the issue of obesity, there have been recently to studies

there have been recently two studies which question the effectiveness of anti—obesity school programmes. she will say that she believes youngsters being overweight, while schools can teach children about the importance of healthy eating and exercise, they cannot take over the role of health professionals and the answer lies in the home and parents should not abdicate their responsibility here. she has particular criticism for parents who send their children to start school in nappies, unable to use the toilet, and she says... even at four years old. starting reception. and she will say toilet training is the role of parents and carers and should not be left to schools. only in the most extreme cases should parents be excused this most basic of parenting tasks. it seems that she feels has happened is overall the burden of responsibility on a range

of issues has begun to fall on schools and in response, the department for education is saying that they are giving schools the powers and the resources to keep children safe and healthy. the fashion group, ted baker, has said there'll be an independent investigation into allegations of forced hugging by its chief executive, ray kelvin. staff at the global chain, which employs more than 3500 thousand people, started an online campaign, accusing the 62—year—old of verbal, physical and sexual harassment, which he denies. earlier our business correspondent joe miller gave us some background to the investigation. an ominous online petition went up a few days ago and has so far gathered around 2000 signatures. it alleges that ray kelvin, who took ted baker from a glasgow shirt—selling stall to a global business, has not only engaged female members of staff in unwanted

embraces but has also asked them to sit on his knee, cuddle him or let him massage their ears and engaged in a lot of sexual innuendo. the person who started the petition also said that when he or she complained to human resources, they were told it is what he is like. ted baker has put out a statement saying these allegations are contrary to the values of the company and the ceo, but they did say that hugs have become part of ted baker's culture, even though they are not insisted upon, and then added ray greets many of the people he meets with a hug, be it a shareholder, investor, supplier, partner or colleague. they are saying it is normal practice at the firm. the ministry of defence is understood to have warned service personnel that a russian journalist has been seen acting suspiciously outside a military base in berkshire. a spokesman said timur siraziev,

who works for the moscow based broadcaster, channel 0ne, was picked up by mod security cameras and refused entry. mr siraziev has denied trying to enter the military base and says he was not acting covertly. a family of swans has been shot and killed in a suspected air gun attack. the bodies of five cygnets and their parents were discovered wrapped in plastic bags after they were thrown down the bank of a stream in the kent village of benenden. x—ray images revealed one of the birds was peppered with pellets or shot. the rspca has launched an investigation. the trump administration has suspended its plans to increase tariffs on imports from china from 10 to 25%, which were due to come into force next month. the move follows a meeting at the end of the g20 summit in argentina between donald trump and the chinese president, xijinping. beijing has agreed to buy more goods from the us. 0ur north america editor, jon sopel, reports. they met over dinner

for two and a half hours, donald trump on one side of the long table, president xi on the other. at the end of it, a breakthrough of sorts. the us has agreed not to go ahead, for the time being, with the next wave of tariffs that were due to kick in onjanuary the 1st. in return, according to the white house, the chinese have agreed to increase the amount of agricultural, energy, and industrial products they buy from the us as a way of reducing the trade deficit. but what that amount is remains to be determined. the relationship is very special, the relationship i have with president xi, and i think that is going to be a very primary reason why we will probably end up getting something that will be good for china and good for the united states. translation: i am looking forward to this meeting between our two countries, so we can exchange ideas on issues of mutual interest, and jointly map out a future for chinese—us relations. in the meantime, negotiations will begin on american

concerns about issues like intellectual property theft. this will be greeted with relief by financial markets around the world, fearful of the consequences of an escalating trade war, but this is a temporary truce, not the end of hostilities. a crucial climate change conference, aimed at averting catastrophic levels of global warming, has opened in the polish city of katowice with the un climate chief warning that climate change impacts have never been worse. representatives from nearly 200 countries are attending and although talks officially open tomorrow, such is the sense of urgency in tackling the problem that negotiators have started work a day early. our environment correspondent matt mcgrath is there. yes, the negotiators are here around

us. yes, the negotiators are here around us. they are talking a day early. as you can see, there's a lot of urgency in the system, a palpable sense of pressure on negotiators here. speaking earlier today, someone here. speaking earlier today, someone said millions of people around the world were feeling the impacts of climate change. everyone who had to do their bets, do more. i think the negotiators have taken that this is quite seriously. they are feeling the impact is of scientific response and seeing the public pressure as well. we have had marches around the world. this pressure on negotiators has never been higher. fully they believe they can over the next two weeks advance work on the roebuck of the paris agreement which would make it operational in 2020. but there is a lot to be done before that and many, many long nights of negotiations to go. what are we expecting to get out of the meeting in terms of a kind of

rule book? presumably there is the issue when you're talking about global agreements, you can have a role book but harris is enforced? that is a very good question, the enforcement is one of the really tricky things. they want all countries to be singing from the same hymn sheet, everybody has the same hymn sheet, everybody has the same forms to fill in, everyone tells whatever else is doing. somebody has to review and say country ais not doing what they said they have done, but that is tricky because when countries try to do that before in copenhagen, prog pose a resume from the top—down, countries fought back and there was no deal at all. what a paris success was that countries themselves, from the bottom up, put on the table what they were going to do. the tricky bit all, it was ever what else is looking at what everyone is saying they will do and whether they will do it or not. that will be a few yea rs do it or not. that will be a few years down the line, they are not there yet. they have to agree on how those rules will workforce for support and they have two weeks here to try and do that. thanks very much.

from eric dier and harry kane... but arsenal's comeback began with this equaliser from pierre—emerick aubameyang — that was his second goal of the match after a penalty in the first ten minutes. alexandre lacazette then scored a deflected shot to make it 3—2, and lucas torreira sealed the deal with the final goal of the game, bringing the final score to 4—2. with five minutes to go jan vertonghen was sent off for a lunge on lacazette. cheslea are up to third place after a 2—0 win over fulham. pedro scored afterjust four minutes to give chelsea the lead at stamford bridge, their second came from ruben loftus—cheek giving chelsea three points. manager maurizio sarri was partocularly pleased with the clean sheet but for the new fulham boss, claudio ranieri, the defeat means they remain bottom of hte table. just kicking off is the merseyside derby between livepool and everton. liverpool are hoping to reduce manchester city's lead at the top of the table back down to two points. commentary on 5live. rangers beat hearts

2—1 to move to the top of the scottish premiership for the first time under steven gerrard. hearts started stronger and deservedly went ahead before connor goldson quickly levelled for rangers. alfredo morelos then added the winning goal from a free—kick before the break, although he appeared to be in an offside position. rangers had scott arfield sent off with 20 minutes remaining but gerrard's side held on to go one point clear at the top. in the scottish league cup final between celtic and aberdeen it is 1—0 to celtic. ryan christie scored just before half time. holders celtic are aiming to lift an 18th league cup. into the second half now at hampden park. arsenal's100% start to the women's super league season has been ended by manchester city england forward georgia stanway scored once in each half to move city to within three points of arsenal.

there were also wins for everton, chelsea, west ham and birmingham. northern ireland have the toughest draw of the home nations for euro 2020. the draw was made in dublin at lunchtime, with michael o'neill‘s side in the same group as the netherlands and germany. o'neill described it as cruel and the worst possible draw. england's is a bit easier. czech republic and bulgaria the toughest tests for gareth southgate. wales are in with world cup finallists croatia, whilst scotland are amongst belgium, russia and cyrpus. all of those groups are on the bbc sport website. it had been much anticipated and the heavyweight contest beween british boxer tyson fury and anerica's deontay wilder was a fascinating fight which ended in a draw. fury was twice knocked down but on a memorable night in los angeles, he won the plaudits but not the prize. our sports editor dan roan has the deatils.

for the thousands of helsing fans who watched the fight he had ali's sta ples who watched the fight he had ali's staples centre and the many more who got out of bed early to tune in or watch back home in the uk, they witnessed a true boxing classic. tyson fury had come back from some well—documented problems to get himself in shape, those 10 lb, and that all paid off because for much of that fight he outfoxed his opponent deontay wilder, keeping that powerful right—hander at bay until the ninth round, when he hit the canvas. he did so again most dramatically in the final 12 round when many people would have doubted he had the ability to get back up, but that is exactly what he did somehow. and at the final reckoning, many people thought he had taken the fight and deserved to win. but it was a split decision, one judge finding in favour of him, one was a split decision, one judge finding infavour of him, one in favour of deontay wilder and co ntroversially, favour of deontay wilder and controversially, the britishjudge

calling it a draw. it meant that deontay wilder retained his wc miss wbc title and tyson fury has to do with home without the belt he craved but then many people's view, craving a moral victory. i'm but then many people's view, craving a moralvictory. i'm not going to sit here and complain all night, scream robbery, i fought sit here and complain all night, scream robbery, ifought and won sit here and complain all night, scream robbery, i fought and won the fight, i scream robbery, i fought and won the fight, i leave the audience to decide what they thought. two men tried their hardest, we trained for ten weeks, away from our families, put the sacrifices, we both came in great shape, very fit, and it showed. i hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did and i am sure we will put on a great show in the second fight. it definitely delivered and they will now be huge calls from fans around the world for a rematch, whether that is on american soil or perhaps back home for tyson fury in the uk. but what happened here in the staples centre was one of the great sporting occasions of the year. ronnie o'sullivan is into the third round of the uk

snooker championship with a hard fought 6—5 win over 1997 world champion ken doherty. o'sullivan was trailing but pulled off four frames in a row for lead 5—4. doherty pulled one back before o'sullivan rallied to take the decider. england's netballers completed a 3—0 series win over uganda after beating them in the final match at the copperbox. england won 66—37 in the last match for this year with head coach, tracey neville, hoping to use this game to further assess her squad ahead of next year's world cup which will take place in liverpool. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. i'll have more for you at around 5:30pm. hedging your bets! we all know that things can change around you. three astronauts will blast off to the international space station tomorrow, two months after the dramatic failure of a soyuz spacecraft sent the previous crew hurtling back to earth in an emergency capsule.

russia suspended all manned flights after the accident — the first of its kind in over 30 years and a blow to moscow's pride in its space programme. but the soyuz is still the only way for astronauts to reach the space station — which makes space an increasingly rare example of us—russian co—operation. our moscow correspondent sarah rainsford reports. and there is lift—off of the soyuz... this was as routine as it gets in space travel. launch number 137 of the soyuz spacecraft, carrying a russian and an american to the international space station. but moments after blastoff, things went badly wrong. these pictures were released after an investigation by russia's space agency found a problem with the rocket booster system. but it's been hailing the soyuz emergency systems, which catapulted the crew back to earth. now a new team are running through their preparations for the launch. this was their final exam, proving they can handle all procedures and any emergency.

despite the drama last time, nasa's astronaut says she's ready for her maiden flight. it makes us very focused on what we need to do. i think it's made the whole team refocus on the importance of every detail. we're very confident in this vehicle after the incident. russia's space agency boss was confident, too, at this event marking 20 years of the iss. dmitry rogozin outlined bold ambitions in space as he and nasa stressed warm relations despite the cool political climate. i don't see any problem, mr rogozin told me. there is trust. i spoke to president putin about this, and he's glad it's working. the soyuz is currently the only way up to the international space station. a rare example, then, of collaboration between russia and america. both sides say that cosmic collaboration will continue even as relations here on earth become increasingly hostile. russia's proud of its record

in space that stems back to the days of cold war competition. the iss united old rivals, but as that project reaches an end and nasa plans a new station to orbit the moon, russia's role remains unclear. the space programme makes russia as a great power, and sends a political challenge to the russian federation. because how will we cooperate in post—iss era? but this soyuz will head for the iss, its crew reassured that the aborted launch was the first in 35 years. this was their chance to try their own soyuz ahead of the countdown to blastoff. joining us now is elizabeth pearson, astrophysicist and news editor at sky at night magazine. she is in bristol. good to talk to

you again. tell us first of all, are we clear about what went wrong last time and are the russians confident that they have resolved the problem? the russians have been investigating it ever since it happened on october the 11th. what we think happened was that there wasn't anything wrong with the rocket itself, it was actually one of the sensors. and it was picked up by the emergency systems, they thought something was wrong and daddies outweigh what it was supposed to do and got the to safety. the sound is not brilliant, it sounds like you are on the international space station, but we will bear with it because we can hear what you're saying. how important is tomorrow's lodge? hear what you're saying. how important is tomorrow's lodge7m hear what you're saying. how important is tomorrow's lodge? it is just an average lunch. it is a lunch that will be the exact same procedure that it would normally go through. those up they are going to be paying a lot more attention, they will be going through all the

checks, check over and over again. they will check very carefully. there are some interesting experiments on board, one involving a lot of ones from the uk. they are, because they will produce a very well and are one of the species that can stand space quite well, so they will be doing a lot of experiments with those worms. i think we got the gist of that but i'm sorry we were having some technical difficulties. thank you so much for coming along and telling us all about it. there you go, worms in space. i think there pigs in space but that was yea rs there pigs in space but that was years ago and the muppets. police in new york are hunting a couple who got engaged in times square on friday but lost the ring down a grate. cctv images show the romantic proposal going wrong and the pair unsuccessfully trying to retrieve the piece of jewellery. after seeing the footage officers managed to rescue the ring, clean it up and now want to find its owners.

they have put out a plea for the man and woman to come forward. they want to give this particular romantic story a happy ending. if you recognise them, drop an e—mail from the new york police department. they will be pleased to hear you funny and hopefully we will be able to tell you follow—up to the story. workers at a building site in bristol have become the first in the uk to use futuristic exoskeletons. developed in california, the robotic vests were first built to rehabilitate stroke victims. it's now hoped they can help people lift heavier weights with less strain. our correspondentjoe miller went to see them. a simple screw driven by a mixture of man and machine. this isn't the set of a superhero film, it'sjust a construction site in bristol, staffed by bionic builders. repetitive movement on anyjoints, eventually you feel something. i have tennis elbow at the minute and to be honest, lifting the boards today,

it hasn't been too bad at all. this cyborg—like vest was originally built to rehabilitate stroke victims. for the first time in the uk it's being used to reduce the strain of routine overhead work. under my own steam, this can get tiring quite quickly. but transformed into iron man, i can keep doing this all day long with the help of my second skeleton which is able to support the weight of up to two large bowling balls. they may look like elaborate toys, but exos keleto ns are notjust a gimmick. there's something like 125,000 work—related injuries in construction which is a staggering figure. if the vest can take it away, because it's doing some of the work for them, that's the positive. is this a step towards

the robots taking over? i think we are a bit away off that yet. there are new technologies and we know the construction industry needs to modernise. exoskeletons are already hard at work in america, reducing fatigue on ford's busy production lines. not everyone is a fan. some are worried this tech will give bosses an excuse to demand longer hours and push for a later retirement age. and when tested in a battlefield simulation, researchers found exoskeleton wearers were slower to react. there is no lack of focus back in the west country, where even young workers are keen to embrace their robotic assistants. but exoskeleton tech is still in its infancy, and the next generation of mechanised sidekicks mightjust decide to do away with their masters.
