5:02 pm
they won't support the agreement. mr gove, one of the original leaders of the leave campign, in the 2016 referendum, 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. i reflected long and hard about this deal but i concluded like lots of people, that while it is imperfect is the right thing to do and i think it is because, 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 and one of the things that i hope the people will have the chance to do over the course of the next nine days is to recognise that we should not make the perfect the enemy of the good, we have to recognise that if we do not vote for this deal, the alternatives are new deal or no brexit.
5:03 pm
are no deal. it seems to me that if the prime minister has lost a vote of that sort of significance, then there has to be a question of confidence in the government. will you seek to move that? i think it is inevitable that we will think to move that but it also depends on what happens in nine days and it will depend on what the responses but if she lost a vote of this significance after two years of negotiation, then it is right there should be a general election because for the fixed—term parliaments act, the convention was always if a government loses a confidence vote on something of such significance, denied government has to go. —— then that government has to go. one of the leaders of the leave campaign says the prime minister can still get her brexit deal through parliament. with nine days to go before the vote on theresa may's deal, michael gove says mps should

5:05 pm
one of the leading brexit supporters within the government — michael gove — has insisted that theresa may can win the crucial commons vote on her eu deal in nine days' time. with dozens of conservative mps publicly saying they cannot support the deal — the environment secretary, who helped lead the leave campaign, admitted it wasn't perfect. but he's warned mps that the alternative is "no deal or no brexit". labour has said that if mrs may's plan is defeated, it will table a no confidence vote to try and force a general election. here's our political correspondent, ben wright. from a global summit theresa may returns to the heart of political realities of westminster, where she has nine days to sell her brexit deal to a deeply sceptical
5:06 pm
parliament. the area which i have the greatest concern about... ministers accept the agreement on the table is a compromise but today it received a sales pitch from a key member of the cabinet. 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 the borders and have control of immigration policy it means we end the huge automatic sum mass go the eu every week, and it gives us the capacity in huge sectors of the economy to diverge if we think that is right. one of the leading figures in the leaf campaign michael gove has stuck by the prime minister, refusing to follow u p by the prime minister, refusing to follow up brexiteers out of the cabinet and follow up brexiteers out of the cabinetand mr follow up brexiteers out of the cabinet and mr gove says tory mps who want to leave the eu have no choice but to vote for the deal. who want to leave the eu have no choice but to vote for the dealli reflected long and hard about this deal, but i concluded like lots of people, that while it is imperfect it is the right thing to do. but former allies in the brexit cause
5:07 pm
have split, and dozens of tory mps who hate the compromise deal remain determined to defeat it in the commons. it is hugely difficult, this is an important issue, it is a big step to vote against something that your government, your prime minister is advocating, and i don't really believe the sort of the fanciful numbers about hundred conservative mps voting against it. but there will be at least 40, i think who have such grave reservations will just have think who have such grave reservations willjust have to think who have such grave reservations will just have to vote against it. the withdrawal deem contains a mechanism for guaranteeing no checks on the irish border after brexit. it would kick in thea border after brexit. it would kick in the a trade deal between the uk and the eu can't by a degreed on time. her critics warn the uk could be stuck in this arrangement indefinitely and want to see the government's full legal advice. that will be the battle in the house of commons tomorrow, when the attorney general makes a statement to mps. it will be the first secure america in what will be a compelling and
5:08 pm
profoundly important few days in parliament, leading up to the big vote on december 11th. theresa may has very little time to persuade her mps to back her plan and the question then, that nobody can answer, is what happens if a deal is rejected 7 can answer, is what happens if a deal is rejected? if she loses that vote, the laej lacing we have passed says she must come back to the house and makea says she must come back to the house and make a statement about what she has is o going to do next. 0 —— legislation. she has 21 days to do that so she will probably come back the next day, but it seems to me if the next day, but it seems to me if the prime minister has lost a vote of that sort of significance, then there has to be a question of confidence in the government. and that could lead to a general election, some tory members will urge the government to leave the eu with no deal, but pressure will continue to build too, for the whole issue to be put back to voters. that is a choice parliament's clearly struggling to come to terms with and can't agree on so i think it is the best thing now, given we had a referendum in the first place,
5:09 pm
let's go back to to the public, they can give their informed consent on the way forward. last week theresa may plugged her brexit on a tour of country. mps are the ones she need to convince. herfuture, the country's future will be decided during a critical the french president emmanuel macron has been holding emergency talks, following some of the worst rioting in paris in recent years. three people have died — and more than a hundred were injured — after protests against high fuel taxes and rising prices erupted into widespread violence. the president was booed and heckled by some onlookers today, as he went to see the extent of the damage. from paris, lucy williamson reports. france's scars are visible today, burned into its most exclusive streets. the cost of economic conflict, long felt outside the city centre, now being scrubbed inch—by—inch from the capital's face. among the targets last night was yasmin‘s car. she's not a government representative, but a single parent, with five children. translation: i understand the protestors but the way
5:10 pm
they are acting right now, no. we are not dying from hunger, we have social care. it's not perfect, but i also work and raise my kids, i suffer from the tax rises too. last night's violence was unusual for france. those now flocking to this movement include anarchists and political agitators. not everyone even bothered to wear the protest uniform. president macron said rioters will not be tolerated, but it is not always easy to tell who's who. even among the many peaceful protestors are those who say france's institutions aren't working, and rebellion is overdue. the most popular demand at protest sites round country — macron resign. they are cleaning off the graffiti now, but the discontent sparked by this movement is harder to wipe away.
5:11 pm
president macron has cast himself as an economic reformer who stands firm against protestors, but when do protestors simply become the french people? jean will be 70 this month but he was at the protest here last night too. translation: if the protest had gone very calmly, macron would have come back from argentina and said "it's all fine, it will die down, i'll stick to my position and i won't change anything." it's sad to say but it's the reality. president macron met his government for an urgent meeting today. a spokesman said a state of emergency could be imposed. he was booed even as he came to thank the firemen on duty for the protests. fresh from the battles of the g20 sumit in argentina, the french president is facing even tougher diplomacy at home. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. tyson fury has made a remarkable comeback to the top of the boxing world, holding the wbc world heavyweight champion
5:12 pm
deontay wilder to a draw. the british fighter returned to competition only six months ago, after a doping ban and depression forced him out for more than two years. our sports editor dan roan watched the dramatic fight in los angeles. tyson fury. back in the big time and enjoying every my opinion. tyson fury appeared relaxed as he enter the the arena, with no shortage of support. deontay wilder cutting a menacing figure as he made his presence felt. what followed was a classic, fury dominating the early rounds, evading wilder's powerful right hand and counter punching. but the american's famed for his knock out punch, and in the ninth round he put fury down. he recovered and going into the extraordinary final round, most watching had fury ahead but wilder delivered a brutal
5:13 pm
combination. down he goes, right hand, left hand. fury seemed out for the count, but somehow to the disbelief of the boxing world, he not only survived, but hung on to finish the fight well. many still believed that fury had won, but after an agonising wait the split desittings meant a draw, a controversial end to a thrilling night. it was what it was, i enjoyed every second of it, i'm not going to sit here and complain all nigh, scream robbery this that and the other, i thought i won the fight. i will leave the audience to decide. tyson fury may not be going home with the belt he craved but having outbooked his point for much of that fight the senseis his point for much of that fight the sense is he secured a moral victory and added to what was already a remarkable sporting colback and after one of the most memorable and captivating fights in recent year, any rematch will be hugely anticipated. crucial talks on climate
5:14 pm
change have begun at a united nations conference in poland.? they're hoping to agree on rules to implement the paris agreement of 2015 — the international treaty designed to tackle global warming. scientists say that — at the moment — the world is on course for warming of three to five degrees c by 2100. and that the greenhouse gases we're adding to the atmosphere need to be cut by 45% by 2030. one of the biggest sources of pollution is coal, and poland — the host country for these talks — produces more of it than any other in the eu. our science editor david shukman reports. a mountain of coal lies freshly dug at a mine, one of many here in southern poland, at the centre of arguments over what to do about global warming. ok, so we're on our way down and i'm starting to feeel the air
5:15 pm
pressure in my ears now. our first sight of the mining process. this coal is used to make steel, but most is burned to generate electricity. we reach a tangle of cables and pipes, and the rock above us keeps shifting. this is literally the coal face, and despite that spray of water its amazingly dusty round here, very noisy, a really hostile place to work. and because coal can be so polluting, many countries, including britain, have moved away from it, but here in poland, thousands of people work in the coal mines. coal is a mainstay of the polish economy, so while climate scientists say the world should move away from coal, here it looks set to last for decades. but back at the surface, one green campaigner
5:16 pm
offers a different vision of clean solar power. he knows he's outnumbered here. burning coal, burning fossilfuels, using fossil fuels in the energy sector, it is a source of huge co2 emotions and it hurts our climate, it hurts our planet. this region has some of the dirtiest air in europe. something that will focus minds as the climate talks get under way. david shuckman, bbc news in poland. fears of an all—out trade war between the united states and china have receded , after a meeting between donald trump and the chinese president xi jingping , at the g20 summit in argentina. the us has suspended plans to increase tariffs on chinese goods from ten to 25 % injanuary — and beijing has agreed to buy more american goods. our north america editor jon sopel‘s report contains some flashing images. president trump arrived
5:17 pm
back in to washington, early this morning, looking tired, but buoyed by what he said was an incredible deal with china. he and president xi met for two—and—a—half hours at the g20. president trump sounded optimistic there could be a breakthrough, in the escalating trade war between these two economic super powers. 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'll probably end up getting something that will be good for china and good for the united states. the chinese have agreed to buy far more american goods. in return, the us says it won't go ahead with new tariffs on chinese exports that were due to kick in on january 1st. in the meantime, talks between the us and china will get under way immediately, on a range of issues that the american side has flagged as areas of concern.
5:18 pm
there's a lot of detail still missing from this agreement. when the chinese say they will buy substantially more american goods, what does that mean? the devil is always in the detail in trade talks. nevertheless, global markets will be relieved progress has been made. but this is a ceasefire, not the end of hostilities. jon sopel, bbc news, buenos aires. football and arsenal have beaten tottenham hotspur 4—2 in the north london derby at the emirates stadium. earlier, chelsea bounced back from their first premier league defeat of the season to see off local rivals fulham 2—0. our sports correspondent adam wild has been following the action. having the neighbours round on a sunday afternoon is rarely met with such anticipation, but local rivalry scarcely run deeper than in north london. tottenham quick to hand their hosts arsenal an unexpected

gift, that penalty, an opportunity gladly received. spurs struggling to catch up, that was until dyer squeezed in a header, the relief clearly visible but so too the underlying animosity of the occasion. it bubbled over once more when spurs were awarded a penalty. harry kane kept his cool. plenty to admire. albrighton's equaliser fitting of such a game. when neighbours are this close it would ta ke neighbours are this close it would take something special to keep them apart. amazingly lack accident putting arsenal back in front, before a moment the red side of north london will remember for a long time. among the nearest and dearest visiting chelsea ranieri, now in charge down the road at fulham. the hospitality soon ran out. loftus—cheek finally sending them packing, on derby day there is no place meanwhile celtic have beaten aberdeen to win
5:20 pm
the scottish league cup at hampden park. the goal came from ryan christie's first—half strike, which ensured a seventh straight domestic trophy for celtic manager brendan rodgers. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news with shaun ley. now more on today's top stories. brexit developments. 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 despite dozens of conservative mps saying they won't support the agreement. 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. earlier, i spoke to the dup‘s brexit spokesman, sammy wilson. he said his party would be supporting labour in forcing the government to publish new legal advice which apparently warns
5:21 pm
that the uk could be stuck in its backstop agreement on the irish border indefinitely. we supported be humble address in the house of commons two weeks ago, we give our reasons for doing so at that stage and although, i understand that ministers do not like to publish and there is a convention that normally they do not publish, but we are making a decision that will have huge ramifications for our country for the next generation, and have signed an agreement which is a legal agreement and we know how to nit—picking the european union is when it comes to legal agreement so i think it is very important that eve ryo ne i think it is very important that everyone understands what they are signing up to legally and what the ramifications are for the country
5:22 pm
and specifically of course for northern ireland, how the backstop of the agreement will affect us. in a sense there is no secret about this, you know already and it has artie been published a letter to ben to be the cabinet, on the irish backstop that comes in place if they cannot come up with a technological solution to keep the ball between the republic without any controls will endure indefinitely. indefinitely until something else comes into place. in the prime minister is going around the countryside telling something different, this is a temporary arrangement that will never be used, an insurance policy, we can get out of it. and the attorney general is saying something different. can i pick you up on that, we can get out of it. you're saying the prime minister is telling you we can get out of it but we cannot? because the prime minister is giving the
5:23 pm
impression that all you have to do to getan impression that all you have to do to get an agreement with the eu and we can get out of it, when we know full well and i think the attorney generals view is that it can make it very difficult for us to get out of it. and if the eu decide that the conditions are not met, even though they may well be the party which ensures the conditions are not met, that we are locked into it and it is nuances of the legal agreement, the legal advice that i think parliament needs to know because the prime minister has given this impression that if the eu do not act in good faith or do not work towards finding a solution, then of course they will be in breach of obligations and i do not believe that is the case and i think we need to know the attorney general has taken not. and you will have a chance to question tomorrow when he makes the statement, would you make of michael gove's interview
5:24 pm
today when he said the choice is between this deal however imperfect in the very real risk of no deal at all? i am really surprised that the sta nce all? i am really surprised that the stance which he has been taking on this. i spoke at rallies with him during the brexit campaign and he was most insistent that we got the leave and we should leave with the good deal and he supported the prime minister's view that no deal was better than a bad deal. this is not only a bad deal, it is a rotten deal and a deal which i think should not be given support by anyone who really wa nts be given support by anyone who really wants to see the objectives of brexit realised. but you know he has his opinion, a large number of people in the house of commons do not share it in a large number of people across the united kingdom do not share it and all we want to know is what is the legal advice that he and other cabinet ministers received from the attorney general as to how much this deal brings us to the
5:25 pm
existing eu arrangements. the dup agreement says explicitly that the dup agrees to support the government on all motions of confidence and we have heard the labour party if her deal is voted down, he will move the motion of in the government and you would never support that because your agreement says you will be with the government when it comes to lobbies. if this deal is voted down we have no reason to have no confidence in the government. even though they are the ones pushing at? the deal would be dead in the water than in the government will be forced to change policy which is what we want to do, get the government on track for a more realistic deal and a deal more importantly which delivers on their ma nifesto importantly which delivers on their manifesto and the commitments which the prime minister has done
5:26 pm
time and time again. she must be regretting doing this deal with you, trapped in this no man's land which you did a policy but you cannot have a general election. i think the prime minister's regret it should be how many of her own party she has alienated. we are fairly inconsequential now as far as the boatin inconsequential now as far as the boat in the house of commons is concerned because she has alienated so many within her own party whether on the remain inside or it leaves side. we to be spectators in this deal still will not go through because of the way in which the prime minister has broken promises for people who trusted her. that was sammy wilson from the dup talking to me earlier about brexit. time for a look at the weather with stav. a cloudy day of the board, and outbreaks and western areas, but in the east did see some sunshine

5:31 pm
i think we were managing their game pretty well. yes, it would be unlucky, how we conceded the third goal and of course, all of the stuff for us, in that moment you realise and you play for in the last few games. after 3—2, then we concede quick. his foot, every match, is the score. with two goal, it is perfect. the same for lacazette. we are, at the moment, ina same for lacazette. we are, at the moment, in a scoring moment with so many different players. also, we wa nt many different players. also, we want to keep and continue improving

she was going to go to a hotel but i told her she should stay with us. yes, yes. you must. fold down the bed in the spare room. i will do it. it's fine. you're married? yes. yes, we are, ronit. nobody told me. why didn't you let me know? you disappeared. it's a great cast. it's a really good cast. obviously there was a relationship between her and the esti character and suddenly, when she returns, it throws a spanner in the works and things are rekindled and the rest of the film is about the relationship between love and religion and about how one person has decided to attempt to redefine themselves through belief. there is almost a touch of the miseducation of cameron post. the other side is ronit has become her own person in new york.

i thought it was well played, i'm surprised about the mixed reviews. it was very well played and sensitively handled. it is fairly low—key but when it needs to be passionate, it's not embarrassed. it's the story of somebody who in the wake of the death finds themselves cast out of their own community and what i liked, it is a film which doesn't do a lot of explaining the plot to you. you come to realise things gradually and you do, because of the way the performances work. it's to do with glances and what people don't say and the way people look at each other in the way they hold themselves. i really liked it. a fine film, a couple of terrific central performances. creed ii, i'm nota fan of boxing movies. convince me. i've never watched an actual boxing match but i was surprised when creed
5:44 pm
reinvented the rocky franchise. this carries on. sylvester stallone. michael bjordan, he is adonis. his father, apollo creed was killed back in rocky 4 by dolph lundgren's drago. now, the son of drago, victor, wants a second generation grudge match. he is not up for it. rocky is not up for it, and michael bjordan saying, if you don't help me, you are abandoning me. what i thought was good was it is a familiar story. there is a sense of history repeating itself. it is well enough directed that the old moves seem new, the boxing sequences are pretty punchy. they don't have quite the visual punch. pretty punchy. they don't have quite the panache of the first film. one match plays out almost in one shot. there is one which plays out entirely in one shot. it happens is, you care about it and you feel the punches because you care about the characters.
5:45 pm
tessa thompson is terrific. it's astonishing that this far down the line, series is managing to produce new material that, as i said, takes old routes and tells stories in a new way and i was surprisingly gripped. a couple of moments during the boxing scenes, i was gripping the edge of the chair. going, yes! i've never watched a boxing match and i'm not a fan at all but it worked for me. plus it's quite long. i didn't realise how long it was. when i came out and said, oh, i've been in longer than i thought, and that is a really good recommendation. now, the documentary three identical strangers. new york triplets separated at birth. rediscover each other later on. there is a certain amount of reconstruction, new interviews. we are introduced to a character telling a story about 1980, he goes to college for the first time and people keep saying hello,
5:46 pm
behaving like they know him. he realises he has a doppelganger. he has a twin he never knew he had. it becomes a new story which was remarkable. a third person comes out of the wood and says actually, it's me as well. this is not believable, this is unbelievable. wow, this is big, this is serious. this is not some kind of crazy coincidence. this is not a minor resemblance, this is real, this is happening, this is really, really serious. i ditched classes. when i got home, my mother was waiting at home with a cup of coffee and i said mum, you see this? you see this? we exchanged newspapers. long island jewish hospital, july12, 1961. it was louise wise adoption agency and i always knew growing up that i was adopted. my parents were always open about it. it said new hyde park, long island, and scarsdale, new york, son of prominent scarsdale position. my first thought, he's got the wealthy family. it seem like the most remarkable
5:47 pm
story of coincidence but about 25 minutes in, they became celebrated stars in new york, they had a cameo in a madonna movie, start their own business. where it goes, it then starts to ask about how these coincidences happen. why was it that none of them knew about the others? how was it...was it coincidental that they ended up in three families from three different social strata. it almost starts to look like their accidental destiny has been sinisterly planned. as the documentary goes on, the less you know about it, the better. every time you think, that is the end of all possible coincidences. it can't possibly get any more intriguing, it does. what i really liked about it,
5:48 pm
it was very well put together, as a piece of storytelling, it's a good story. it has to be told well. it has to be told thatjust the right level of revelation. at times, it's like a thriller and at times, a really sinister conspiracy theory. on the one hand, it's a very interesting musing on nature versus nurture but behind that, there is this whole other story going on. seriously, i watched it and i was going, no, no — it must be very annoying for everybody else. it becomes so astonishing. and that's not just because it's a good story. it's really interesting and often very heartbreaking. a very sinewy story. it's told so well. as a piece of film—making, it is told with a real firm hand but exactly how much information to reveal at what point. the less you know about the story
5:49 pm
in advance the better. even if you do, there's been a lot of news coverage about it. you will still be gripped by the way the story is told. remind me not to sit next to you when i am watching a film. i'm sorry. you shouting out no, no! infuriating. best out? shoplifters, this film won the palm d'or at cannes, a surprise winner. it's about a family unit, the father and the young boy, we meet them shoplifting, he is passing on the shoplifting skills to his son and they appear to be functioning as a normal family. but they are anything but. what's really interesting about it, if you tell a story in a different way, it can be a horror story or a crime thriller. it is told with affection. it is another nature, nurture thing. what constitutes a family, or criminal activity. where do we put the barriers between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour? i thought it was really lovely. i think it was a deserving prizewinner. best dvd, one of my favourites of recent months.
5:50 pm
sarcastic? i loved it. it is tosh but it's the lovable tosh. mamma mia! here we go again. i thought the first mamma mia was all over the place. but it won me over. this is technically better made, a terrific script. it is self referentially funny self in the right ways. i laughed, i cried. and the love of my life singing the greatest abba song. i have never cried in the cinema in my life. have you really never cried in a movie? have you ever watched it's a wonderful life? watch that movie and get through to the last scene without bursting into tears. if you don't cry, you're an android. maybe i am! a quick reminder before we go that you will find more film news and reviews across the bbc online
