a prominent leave campaigner says theresa may's brexit deal is not perfect — but mps should support it. with the prime ministerjust over a week away from a crucial parliamentary vote — cabinet minister michael gove says it can still be won. we have to recognise that if we don't vote for this deal, the alternatives are no deal or no brexit. we'll be assessing the government's chances of winning over its own mps over the next nine days. also tonight: crisis talks for the government in france, after fuel protests turn into the worst rioting in paris for years. back from the brink — donald trump and china's president xi agree to press pause on their trade war. as international climate talks begin in poland — a special report on the fuel at the heart of its economy. commentator: and down he goes! but in the end, it was a draw,

tyson fury makes a remarkable comeback to top flight boxing. good evening. with nine days to go until the prime minister's brexit deal is put to a parliamentary vote, mps have been warned that a failure to support her could lead to leaving without an agreement — or no brexit at all. michael gove, who was one of the leaders of the leave campaign in 2016, said today that while the deal was not perfect, voting it down could result in another referendum. labour has said it will push for a no—confidence vote if mrs may loses on the 11th of december. our political correspondent ben wright reports. after meeting world leaders in argentina, theresa may returns

to the harsh political realities of westminster where she has nine days to sell her brexit deal to a deeply sceptical parliament. the area in which i have the greatest concern... ministers accept the agreement on the table is a compromise but today received a punchy sales pitch from a key brexit supporting 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 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. one of the leading figures in the leave campaign, michael gove, has stuck by the prime minister, refusing to follow other 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. i 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 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 fanciful numbers about 100 conservative mps voting against it. but there will be at least 40, i think, who have such grave reservations they'lljust have to vote against it. the withdrawal deal contains a mechanism for guaranteeing no checks on the irish border after brexit. it would kick in if a trade deal between the uk and the eu can't be agreed on time. theresa may's critics worry 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 mp5. it will be the first skirmish in what will be a compelling and 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 in the commons to back her plan, and the question then, that nobody can answer, is what happens if a deal is rejected? if she loses that vote, the legislation we have passed says she must come back to the house and make a statement about what she is going to do next. technically, she has 21 days to do that, but she will probably come back 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 labour hopes that might lead to a general election. some tory mps will urge the government to leave the eu with no deal, but pressure will continue to build for the whole issue to be put back to voters.

that's a choice parliament's clearly struggling to come to terms with and can't agree on, so i think it's the best thing now, given we had a referendum in the first place, let's go back to the public, they can give their informed consent on the way forward. last week, theresa may plugged her brexit on a tour of the country. but it's mps she needs to convince. her future, the country's future, will now be decided during a critical winter in politics. well, as you heard there, there'll be a statement in parliament tomorrow on the legal advice given to ministers on the eu withdrawal agreement — that's the deal setting out the terms of britain's departure. the following day, theresa may will begin five days of debate on that agreement, and on the document setting out plans for the uk's future relationship with the eu. after that, on tuesday december iith, mps will be able to have their say in a "meaningful vote" on the brexit deal. let's return to ben wright, who's in westminster. this was a day that saw support

for the prime minister from a prominent brexiteer. how might that affect her chances of getting the deal through parliament? well, at the moment it seems the government is facing a perhaps impossibly daunting task. dozens of tory mps have denounced this deal, and opposition parties have lined up against it. however, there will be a five—day debate, and that might change some minds, and in dark corners of the palace of westminster, in the tearooms on the bars, tory whips will be imploring their mps to listen to the argument michael gove was making today, when he said that this was the only deal on the table and the only one that could guarantee an orderly brexit. i don't get any sense that downing street have given up on the idea of getting this through the house of commons, nor do i get a sense that they have some cunning plan b in case it is defeated, and it is that thatis case it is defeated, and it is that that is adding to the sense of frenzy and panic in westminster.

everybody is asking what would happen then. theresa may may well have another go, bring her deal back, ask mps to vote again, if she still prime minister. a cross—party group of mps might use that moment to push for another referendum, ask foran to push for another referendum, ask for an extension of the talks. i think it is clear that a vast majority of mps do not want the uk to leave the eu at the end of march next year without any deal at all, that that's what will happen unless the government and parliament can think of something else and agree a plan. this is seismic stuff. it is really going to test our political parties and parliament over the next few days. thank you. the french president emmanuel macron has held emergency talks, following some of the worst rioting in paris in recent years. police say they arrested more than 400 people — and more than a hundred were injured — after protests against high fuel taxes and rising prices erupted into violence. from paris, lucy williamson reports. france's scars are visible today, burnt 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. last night's violence showed this movement changing, anarchists and agitators nowjoining in, but even some peaceful protesters say france's institutions aren't working, and rebellion is overdue. mr macron met his government for a crisis meeting today. one option on the table, a state of emergency. the president was booed as he arrived to thank the firemen on duty at the protests. fresh from the battles of the 620 summit in argentina, he's facing even tougher diplomacy at home. the most popular demand at protest sites around

the country, macron resign. they're cleaning off the graffiti now, but the discontent that sparked this movement is harder to wipe away. president macron has cast himself as an economic reformer, who stands firm against protesters. but when do protesters 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. among the targets last night was yasmin's car. she is not a government representative, but a single parent, with five children. translation: i understand the protesters, but the way 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. mr macron built his presidency on a divided opposition. this new movement is united for now,

led by social media, not by politicians. how much will it damage the man who leads france? lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. 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, and beijing has agreed to buy more american products. our north america editor jon sopel‘s report contains some flashing images. president trump arrived back into 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 last night at the g20, president trump sounding optimistic there could be a breakthrough in the escalating trade war between these two economic superpowers. the relationship is very special, the relationship that

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. an increase on tariffs from 10% to 25% on $200 billion of chinese exports, due on january ist, will be put on hold. the chinese have agreed to buy substantially more agricultural and industrial products from the us to reduce the trade deficit. talks on outstanding issues, like intellectual property theft, will get under way immediately. there's a lot of detail still missing from this agreement. when the chinese say they'll 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 that progress has been made, but this is a ceasefire, not the end of hostilities. there was another important agreement between the two men last

night, which might have greased the trade deal. america's most unwanted import from china is the highly addictive and deadly drug, fentanyl. the opioid epidemic is killing tens of thousands of americans each year. president xi's offer to make it illegal in china is something that donald trump had long been demanding. last night, he got what he wanted. this has been a slightly fraught, fractious, even, g20, but with the chinese and americans pulling back from the brink, that is a limited success. jon sopel, bbc news, buenos aires. crucial talks on climate change have begun at a major united nations conference in poland — the most significant since the landmark paris agreement in 2015. scientists say that — at the moment — the world is on course for warming of three to five degrees by the end of the century, and that the greenhouse gases we're adding to the atmosphere need to be cut by 45% by the year 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. i'm starting to feel the air pressure on my ears now. we arrive in an underworld, nearly one kilometre down. our first sight of the mining process. this coal is used to make steel, but most is burned to generate electricity. we are led through a series of long, dark tunnels, picking our way very carefully. we reach a tangle of cables and pipes, and the rock above us keeps shifting.

that sound of rock cascading comes with the odd very loud crack. it's incredibly unsettling. we're told, don't worry, it's just the rock working, as they call it. this is literally the coal face, and despite that spray of water, it's amazingly dusty down here, and 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. the miners are worried because the un climate is discussing a future without coal.

but back at the surface, one green campaigner 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 emissions, 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 shukman, bbc news, in poland. the leader of ukip, gerard batten, has survived a vote of no confidence held by the party's national executive committee. mr batten had faced strong criticism over his decision to appoint the far—right activist, tommy robinson, as an adviser. the committee said it did not endorse the appointment. mps are calling for more tailored

support for women of south asian descent who are at risk of suffering violence in their own homes — or have been subjected to abuse by partners, in—laws or their own family members. research suggests that many victims do not report — or even talk about — abuse for cultural reasons or because of the close ties within their communities. our correspondent sima kotecha has been given exclusive access one specialist centre in the midlands it's been hard for me, obviously, being on my own, being at a refuge, not being able to have daily support from my mum and my sisters. inside an inconspicuous building on a residential road, women like this, fearing for their lives, after being violently abused by their family. in this case, because she became pregnant before marriage. i got hit by my mum and my dad, and my brother said to me,

we want you gone from here if you're not going to listen to us, and if you come back to our house, we're going to kill you, and we're going to kill your baby. we've been given exclusive access to a safe house, which offers a specialist service to women of south asian heritage. many of them tell us their situation is complex, but they're battling orthodox cultural norms. perhaps they've been forced into a violent marriage, or have controlling and abusive parents. staff say more people of this background are now seeking help. we do get people from the older generation coming forward, as well. you know, we've had people coming into our service in their70s, saying, well, i've gone through it for 40 years, and actually i can't tolerate it any more. and they know now that there is support there. the communal setup is important here. most of the women have left behind large families. once, their lives were dependent

on their relatives. now, all of a sudden, they're not. the support staff insist they work hard to change attitudes. they're always looked to look after the children, go and cook and clean. nine times out of ten, that's all they're there for. so when you ask that individual, "what do you want to do?", they can't answer that. caseworkers argue language and cultural barriers can delay help, or eliminate support altogether. a former victim of abuse says there must always be somewhere for people to go. when we provide these places for these women, whatever denomination you're coming from, whatever background and faith, beliefs, whatever it is, that actually each woman is catered for as an individual, and not a statistic, for me. the reality is it's not that easy. staff tell us resources are stretched, and space is limited, but having no room at the inn, we're told, could have perilous consequences. i said it to my mum and dad once,

you're happy with the pounds in britain, but you're not happy with the culture. sima kotecha, bbc news, in the black country. with all the sport now, here's karthi gnarnasegram at the bbc sport centre. despite over two years away from boxing, due to a drugs ban and depression, the british boxer, tyson fury, drew with the wbc heavyweight champion, deontay wilder, this morning. but fury‘s promoter is now asking for an investigation into the scoring, and a rematch. our sports editor dan roan reports from los angeles. announcer: tyson fury! back in the big time and enjoying every minute. tyson fury appeared relaxed as he entered the staples arena, the british fighter with no shortage of support. the opponent deontay wilder cutting a menacing figure as the

undefeated champion made his presence felt. what followed was a classic, fury dominating the early rounds, evading wilder‘s compper punching. but the american is famed for his knockout punch and in the ninth round that flew down. he recovered and going into the extraordinary final round, most watching had fury ahead but wilder then delivered a brutal combination. there he goes, right hand, left hand, and! there he goes, right hand, left hand, and i don't think he will get i hand, and i don't think he will get up! fourie seemed out for the count but somehow to the disbelief of the boxing world, he not only recovered but went on to do well. the judges split decision meant a draw, a controversial end to a thrilling night. # ten one was in celebratory mood last night as he serenaded the media but in the last few hours his camp have demanded an investigation into the

scoring and an immediate rematch.|j have scoring and an immediate rematch.” have never seen a worse decision in my life. i don't know what fight the judges were watching, the guy had me losing the first six rounds, i don't know what he was watching. but it's boxing. it ain't the first time this has happened. tyson fury may not be going home with the belt he craved but having outboxed his opponent for much of that fight, the sense is that he secured a moral victory and added to what was already a remarkable sporting comeback. and after one of the most memorable and captivating heavyweight fights in recent yea rs, captivating heavyweight fights in recent years, any rematch will be hugely anticipated. celtic have lifted the scottish league cup for the 18th time with a 1—0 win over aberdeen. the victory means a seventh straight domestic trophy for the celtic manager brendan rodgers, as chris mclaughlin reports. afamiliar a familiar sight, and aberdeen and celtic final. most had already predicted the outcome, somewhere

affecting a thumping. the early signs sure they could be right. tomovic, so often the hammer of the dons, denied by the postal stopovers to bea dons, denied by the postal stopovers to be a battle, gary mackay—steven a casualty. the latest is though that is fine. just before the interval, the man who spent time on loan at aberdeen got the goal that was to make the difference. but instead of crumbling, aberdeen pushed on, but luck and the woodwork conspired against them. was this a penalty? one ball handball, yes, outside the box, probably. it was given, sinckler usually scores them, joe lewis was having none of it. celtic‘s march to the treble treble has begun. it is time to pop out of the room if you don't want to know the day's premier league results as match of the day two follows soon on bbc one. there were three derbies today, an enthralling encounter at emirates stadium ended with arsenal defeating tottenham 4—2. while emotions were high at anfield withjurgen klopp's liverpool side

beating everton1—0 with a bizarre 96th minute goal. and chelsea were 2—0 winners over fulham. that's all the sport, mishal. that is all from ask a time for the news where you are, good night. hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. the environment secretary michael gove says that brexit deal is not perfect but it is the only choice. i am so sorry, those were the headlines and i will start again. it's all right, i've got the script, we are ok, i think. i haven't. just bear with me. an amorphous group of protesters that have been staging

demonstrations across paris and the rest of france, three people have died and hundreds have been injured in the ensuing violence. for more, i've been speaking to sophie pedder, paris bureau chief at the economist. it was scenes of rioting and the most extreme rioting france has known since the riots of 2005 where the country ended up imposing a state of emergency. you cannot really call it scenes of war but certainly urban devastation in some of the smartest parts of paris and the symbolism was very important and the smart quarters and neighbourhoods of paris at the famous landmarks like the arc de triomphe. it was very dramatic what was happening last night and the aftermath has left a lot of people wondering how the country will pick itself up after this. i think it is the worst crisis macron has faced

since becoming president. how serious is it for his presidency? he has faced down protest before and it's not new to him to face resistance. he was elected to do things that were not popular and some of them have been difficult and he has had union led protests and carved out an image of someone who doesn't give into the street, but this is nothing to do with the typical friends protest. there is no union or political organisation. this is a grassroots revolt that spread online and tapped into a deeper sense of injustice out there in france and has become personalised against macron it makes it more difficult to deal with the fact that you don't have leaders. some of the people in the protest don't want there to be leaders, they want this to be the people speaking but it's difficult for macron to deal with it and who do you speak with. some of the spokesmen

have been identified and those who come forward, the legitimacy has been questioned, so it's a very new and different and volatile a more fuss situation for him to handle. i think we have collected ourselves now. it's time for a look at the weather with stav. the upcoming week is looking mixed with temperatures flip flopping day by day and it looks like by the end of the week it will be unsettled with a deep area of low pressure to bring this wet and windy weather but we start the week on a mixed note with cold air moving into the north—west corner of the country and england and wales plagued by another weather front with further cloud and outbreaks of rain. the colder, clearer weather across northern areas will slowly migrate south and we should start to see the rain petering out across england and

wales although it will take awhile to clear from the and south—east corner of the country. another fairly windy day and the winds are later further north but it will be from a chilly direction with temperatures in single figures and just about double figures further south with the mild air clearing away by evening time. as we head from monday to tuesday, a ridge of high pressure building in with cold air but it doesn't mean it will be a cold night for all of us, particularly for scotland and northern ireland where we will see widespread frost and even ice where we've had showers from the previous day. starting tuesday on a frosty note but largely dry with sunshine. and there could be mist and fog through the morning period and it will stay dry through the afternoon. more than half the country holding onto the sunshine with a veil of clouds moving in from the south—west

and it will bring wetter weather. we are looking at temperatures in single figures. through tuesday evening and night the wet and windy weather spreads into england and wales as it bumps into the cold air we will see snow falling over the high ground. and the low pressure means the majority will clear out during the course of wednesday day. but a bit of a hand back for east anglia and the south—east but i —— by the time we reach the afternoon the sky should brighten up and it will turn dry for many, but across scotla nd will turn dry for many, but across scotland and northern ireland, find a through wednesday and on
