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 our economy to diverge if we think that's 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 the fanciful numbers about 100 conservative mps voting against it. but there will be at least 40, i think, who have such grave reservations will just 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 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 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 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's going to do next. now, technically, she has 21 days to do that but she will probably come back the next day, so we'll see, 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 too, 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 thecountry. but it's mps she needs to convince. her future, the country's future will be decided during a critical winter in politics. ben wright, bbc news. 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 11th — mps will be able to have their say in a ‘meaningful vote‘ on the brexit deal. 0ur political correspondent ben wright gave his assessment on events. perhaps an impossibly daunting task, mps have denounced the deal and

opposition mps have lined up against it but there might be a 5— day debate and that might change minds and in the darkened corners of westminster, the tea rooms and the bars, tory whips will be imploring their mps to listen to the argument michael gove is making when he said 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 zero like in a sense they have some cunning plan b in case it is defeated and it's that that is adding to the sense of frenzy and panic in westminster. everybody is asking what would happen then. theresa may way well have another 90, theresa may way well have another go, bring the deal back and ask mps to vote again if she is still prime minister. a cross—party group of mps might use that to push for another referendum or ask an extension of the talks. it is clear that the 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 but that's what will happen unless

the government and parliament can think of something else and agree a plan. this is seismic stuff that is really going to test our political parties in parliament over the next few days. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the features writer at the independentjames rampton and the broadcaster lynn faulds wood. 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, 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. last night's violence showed this movement changing. anarchists and others joining anarchists and othersjoining in. but many are saying that as‘s institutions aren't working and rebellion is overdue. emmanuel macron 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 for the protests. fresh from the battles of the 620 protests. fresh from the battles of the g20 summit in argentina, he is facing even tougher diplomacy at home. 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. 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. 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 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. how much will damage the man who

leads france? 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. speaking at the start of a conference, the un's climate chief, patricia espinosa, said this year was going to be one of the four hottest on record. 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 110w. 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. 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. 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 xijingping 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 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 2.5 hours 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.

and an increase on tariffs will be put on hold. the chinese have agreed to by substantially more agricultural and industrial products from the us to reduce the trade deficit. talks on outstanding issues like intellectual property that will get under way immediately. there was a lot of detail still missing from this agreement. in the chinese say they will by substantially more american goods, what does that mean? the devil is always in the detailing trade talks but nevertheless global markets will be relieved 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 unwonted import from china is the highly addictive deadly drug

fentanil. the opioid epidemic is killing tens of thousands of american each year. president xi's deal to make it illegal in china was something donald trump has been long demanding. last night he got what he wanted. this has been a slightly fraught, fractious g20 but with the chinese and americans pulling back from the brink, that is a limited success. the headlines on bbc news: the environment secretary michael gove says theresa may's brexit deal isn't perfect, but it is the only choice. french president emmanuel macron holds an urgent security meeting following a day of riots by thousands of anti—government protesters. and a warning that the world is at a crossroads at a crucial climate change conference in poland. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh woozencroft. liverpool bossjurgen klopp said everton put up a proper fight, but it wasn't enough

to stop his side from taking the merseyside derby 1—0 at anfield. substitute divock origi headed a 96th minute winner, after a terrible error from the everton goalkeeper jordan pickford. the win means liverpool keep the gap to premier league leaders manchester city to 2 points. it was very long, a very open game andi it was very long, a very open game and i think in the last few minutes we deserved the three points, a bit more. they had their moments still, to be honest. arsenal remain unbeaten since august after coming from behind to beat tottenham 11—2 in a pulsating game at the emirates. pierre—emerick aubameyang scored twice as arsenal replaced spurs in fourth place. and after his first derby experience as arsenal boss unai emery says the mix of new and experienced players are creating a strong team spirit. every player is like me, when it is

their first derby, we every player is like me, when it is theirfirst derby, we need other players to give us his experience. our finishing players to give us his experience. ourfinishing today, also players to give us his experience. our finishing today, also with a very good speech in one minutes or two minutes that allowed today for the win. meanwhile, a tottenham supporter has been arrested after a banana skin was thrown onto the pitch after pierre emerick aubameyang had put arsenal ahead. there were also six other arrests for public order offences at the emirates stadium. the day's other game saw chelsea beat fulham 2—0 to leapfrog spurs into third. pedro and ruben loftus cheek with chelsea's goals. celtic have won their 7th successive domestic trophy, beating aberdeen 1—0 in the scottish league cup final at hampden park. ryan christie scored the only goal of the game in the first half, before scott sinclair saw his penalty saved by the aberdeen goalkeeper. the result means celtic have won every trophy on offer in scotland since brendan rodgers took over

as managerjust over 2 years ago. i take great pride and it feels great. of course, my happiness is more for the players, chris and the supporters. it is a really satisfying day for us. like i say, for the players, they deserve a huge amount of credit. tyson fury says "the world knows who the real wbc champion is" and believes his draw with deontay wilder was "a gift decision" for the american. fury shared a thrilling battle in los angeles, with many former professionals believing he won the bout. promoter frank warren said he and the british boxing board of control will write to the wbc, demanding a rematch. better prepared this time. it was

nothing to do with the media last time. i was suffering from mental health problems. when you give up the passion to live any more, you are ina the passion to live any more, you are in a bad place. whatever, it wasn't because of the spotlight. i wasn't because of the spotlight. i was already depressed before the klitschko ‘s bike. it is a sport, you win some and you lose some and in my case, you draw some. ronnie o'sullivan is into the third round of the uk snooker championship with a hard fought 6—5 win over former world champion ken doherty. the six—time champion was trailing, but reeled off 4 frames in a row for lead 5—4. doherty pulled one back before o'sullivan rallied to take the decider. laura kenny and emily nelson won their second gold medals at track cycling world cup in berlin. they trumphed in the madison, to add to their first place in the team pursuit on friday. jason kenny could only manage 13th in the individual sprint. 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. the fashion group, ted baker, has promised an independent investigation into claims that its chief executive forced staff to let him hug them. the announcement follows an online campaign by some employees, accusing 62—year—old ray kelvin of verbal, physical and sexual harassment. the company says such claims are entirely at odds with its values. 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 their 70s, saying, well, i've gone through it for a0 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. a couple from peterborough, who got engaged in new york and then lost the ring down a grate, are to get it back. the new york police department tweeted that it had found

the couple, who are back in the uk, and thanked everyone who shared the story. they got engaged on friday, before losing the ring down the grate in times square. cctv images showed the couple, named asjohn and daniella, unsuccessfully trying to retrieve the ring, before deciding to return home and buy a new one. but now new york police say they've retrieved it, cleaned it and will send it to its owners. in a moment we'll have the weather with stav danaos. but first, we'll leave you with images from the westonbirt arboretum in gloucestershire, which has been transformed into an illuminated winter wonderland for the 22nd year. here are some of the most striking images from the opening weekend. hello. the upcoming week is looking very mixed, capricious flip—flopping
