the engagement ring dropped in new york and the british couple who thought they'd never see it again. it isa it is a chilly start to this morning, particulate across scotland with the risk of icy stretches. a bit of rain for england and wales. i'll bring you a full forecast throughout the morning. it's monday 3rd of december. our top story — the government's chief legal adviser, the attorney general, will publish a shortened version of his guidance on theresa may's brexit withdrawal agreement today, but mps of all parties are demanding to see the document in full. some of them believe it contains a suggestion that the uk could end up in an indefinite customs union with the eu and the government is trying to hide it. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. serious questions from mps from

gci’oss serious questions from mps from across the house. how much do you think the attorney general is going to have to end up giving away? he is keen to not publish down the entire document in front of the cabinet. parliament has demanded that. the government has said it will publish some of the advice, but not all of it and that is going to be the row of today. it centres around geoffrey cox, the attorney general, the government's chief legal adviser and officer. it was a real sense of anger amongst many on pes —— amongst many mps, they say they will discuss this over the next —— next few days and we want to see everything that those at the top of government have seen. the government's argument is that doesn't happen very often and there is no region why it should happen in this instance. it boils down to that in —— to the question of the insurance policy, the backstop over the border between northern ireland and the republic and giving the open under any

circumstances if a trade deal is not done. there is a chance that archaic parliamentary rules may be called in co nte m pt of parliamentary rules may be called in contempt of parliament, could end up on the government's desk. there is a sense of how high or dayne beams are at the moment and how angry mps are willing to get over things like this. and uap moving far from that spot as it is a really busy few days for the prime minister? yes, why not start the week with a timeline. —— and you won't be moving. the attorney general will appear in parliament this afternoon to talk about this legal advice, then tomorrow we see the start of this huge debate within parliament, looking at the government's brexit field. at the weekend potentially on sunday, a tv debate involving the prime minister and jeremy corbyn. that is not nailed down yet. some

brexiteers saying they are not fully represented, more row on that to come. and then the big vote coming up come. and then the big vote coming upa week come. and then the big vote coming up a week tomorrow. as that things stand, what other governments chances of winning the vote? the same asi chances of winning the vote? the same as i am for being recruited for the six nations. we didn't see your lovely graphics, hopefully later on. well, it is a lovely way to start the morning. the amount of money councils spent on care for the elderly in england, scotland and wales has fallen in the last eight years, according to figures analysed by the bbc. the biggest drop was in england, where the amount councils say they spent plummmeted by nearly a quarter. wales and scotland have largely protected their budgets. in wales, it fell by 8%. and scotland, the cut was just 7%.

the government says the figures don't take into account the money the nhs in england puts into the care system. there are no comparable figures for northern ireland. here's our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. want a cup of tea? no? what about a glass of bitter lemon? this is a day when 89—year—old dottie simply doesn't want to get out of bed. she has alzheimer's and needs constant care. it means her daughter sam has seen first—hand the pressures on the care system. the contrast shows what life is to be like. but when they needed help, it was hard to get. her mother spent three months in a hospital ward before they found a bed in local authority funded homes. there is lots of expensive places for people to go. if you don't have £5,000 a month,

well, between 4000 and £5,000 a month, then you have to wait for a local authority bed. it is crucial that as families, we find somewhere that is spot—on. because it is really tough? yeah. the bbc‘s analysis shows council spending on care for each person aged 65 and over has fallen in the last eight years, with the biggest drop in england. here at aged uk portsmouth, they have said that has meant the loss of many early health services. i think in the long run it is costing us more because people are reaching that crisis point which possibly could have been prevented, and then they perhaps need more support, more help. councils say cuts to their funding have meant they have had to make difficult choices. the government maintains it has put more than 5.6 billion extra into care this year,

and that it will publish plans for its long—term funding soon. alison holt, bbc news. sir david attenborough will make a speech at the united nation's climate change talks in poland today — the most critical meeting since the 2015 paris agreement. sir david will be representing the un's "people's seat", an initiative which gave citizens around the world the opportunity to send their messages to leaders via social media. his speech will be made up of some of those comments. we will be their live a little bit later on. —— there. the head of mi6 will warn russia "not to underestimate our ca pabilities" in a rare speech today. alex younger will describe how the intelligence service exposed those behind the novichok poisoning in salisbury, when a former russian spy and his daughter were targeted. in his talk at st andrew's university, aimed at recruiting more younger people, he'll warn that britain's enemies view themselves as being in a state of "perpetual confrontation" with the uk. police in new york have tracked

down a british couple who lost an engagement ring down a drain, thanks to people sharing the story on twitter. the man had proposed to his girlfriend in central park but shortly afterwards, they dropped the ring in times square. lebo diseko has the details. a moment to remember, but for the wrong reasons, as a couple lose their engagement ring down a grate in new york. they were walking through times square after the groom had popped the question earlier in the day, when the ring slipped off the bride—to—be's finger and down the grille. the couple searched for at least two hours, to no avail. they eventually gave up, thinking it was lost forever. enter new york's police. they opened up the covering and continued the search after the couple had gone. when it had not been retrieved that evening, these officers came back the next day and found it. a very lucky break.

it's like finding a needle in a haystack, you know, because we've been plenty of these searches where we have come up with nothing, unfortunately, and, you know, fortunately, this one has a good ending to it, so... the only problem was they did not have the couple's details and so the next challenge was to find them. the nypd put out a twitter call to action, asking new yorkers to help track the couple down. twitter worked its magic and the two were found. their names arejohn and daniella and they were told the good news by friends moments after landing back in the uk. they say they are overjoyed and have promised the police a special mention on their big day. lebo diseko, bbc news. i like ilikea i like a happy ending. it is a great story to tell for years on and whether you get it or not. now they don't have to get another one. don't

ta ke don't have to get another one. don't take it off the finger! as soon as it is on, leave it on! don't hold a diamond ring over the grill.” it is on, leave it on! don't hold a diamond ring over the grill. i lost mine because it got too baggy. you lost weight. i found it two years after i lost it. had lost weight. i found it two years afteri lost it. had you bought lost weight. i found it two years after i lost it. had you bought a new one? i had. in the bottom of issue. while i was taking shoes off, it must have fallen off. now you have two. one and a backup. you would have seen this yesterday, incredible scenes of jurgen would have seen this yesterday, incredible scenes ofjurgen klopp celebrating the end of the liverpool derby. he was ridiculously over a crappy and had to slightly backpedal. we love emotion, even if you overstep the mark a little bit. it is lovely to see what sport does to you. i loved it, it gets a bit

nicolet, i was watching the totte n ha m nicolet, i was watching the tottenham arsenal game. let me crack on with these pictures. a fiery day of premier league derbies ended in drama at anfield, and a bizarre goal that gave liverpool an injury—time winner over everton. the excitement was too much forjurgen klopp to contain, he did apologise for his celebration later. he basicallyjust got a little bit overexcited and he did apologise. it's a magnificent seventh domestic trophy in a row for celtic under manager brendan rodgers. they beat aberdeen in the league cup final. tyson fury says the world knows who the real champion is, after his fight with deontay wilder ended in a contoversial draw — and he wants an investigation into the scoring. and ronnie 0'sullivan won his second round match at the uk championship and then threatened to form a breakaway ‘champions league' style snooker tour.

he's concerned about the number of events on the calendar. basically saying he plays too many players who are not good enough. an interesting debate about the. he likes marquee events and there are 150 odd professionals around the world who rely on smaller events. their argument is, we shouldn't be organising the snooker calendar about the wants of one person. he said it is like barcelona playing leyton orient. isn't there at a parallel to be drawn with this super league thing, where they all want to play the big players and ignore the smaller ones. he has a problem getting himself up for the small events. and he makes no secret of that. pall. -- poor love. iam a

professional, who plays khalili and i need to play people who may come up i need to play people who may come up against the ranks against me. sarah's here with a look at this morning's weather. the weather is pretty mixed out there this morning, mixed fortunes through the day. a chilly start across the northern half the country and some icy stretches across parts of scotla nd and some icy stretches across parts of scotland on any untreated surfaces. england and wales different, showery rain. the rain will be working in from the west. already got some wept are pushing on. the heaviest of that rain will be across the north of wales. showery further south. anywhere north of the humber, clearer skies. we are in double figures. up to

around a0 celsius. we are in clear and dry conditions. still some wintry showers pressing —— pushing and around parts of scotland. some icy stretches you first thing tomorrow morning. even further south, some frosts. quite a sharp frost. a cold start to tuesday morning. at least we have some sunshine to be enjoyed. for much of the country, a lot of dry weather with sunshine. 0ne the country, a lot of dry weather with sunshine. one to isolated wintry flurries across scotland and that's when we see more cloud than rain arriving from the south—west. temperatures just about in double figures for the fast south —— far south—west of england but a cold day, 5— nine celsius with sunshine. things would turn quite soggy.

through the day on wednesday, the rain pushes. it will turn through —— it will turn to snow across the northern pennines and southern uplands. chile to scotland, up to six degrees but things will turn milder further south with that southerly wind developing. it stays fairly mild through towards the end of the week but pretty unsettled. low pressure arriving through thursday. you'll notice the proximity of the isobars, heading through into friday. low pressure well and truly in charge. a mild the week. things turning particularly wet and windy as we look towards friday. never mind. ronnie 0'sullivan wet and windy as we look towards friday. never mind. ronnie 0'sullivan put wet and windy as we look towards friday. never mind. ronnie 0'sullivan put you wet and windy as we look towards friday. never mind. ronnie 0'sullivan put you in wet and windy as we look towards friday. never mind. ronnie 0'sullivan put you in a wet and windy as we look towards friday. never mind. ronnie 0'sullivan put you in a bad wet and windy as we look towards friday. never mind. ronnie 0'sullivan put you in a bad mood? it's all blustery and rainy. you can't have nice with all the time, you've got to celebrate the

changeability. but similar to the front pages. let's take a look at the papers — most of today's front pages lead on brexit. the times reports that the dup has "threatened to abandon" theresa may in any confidence vote, should she fail to get her deal through parliament, the image is of the actor, gemma arterton at last night's independent film awards. labour is determined to force through a no—confidence motion, says the metro. it quotes shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer warning his party would push for a general election if the eu withdrawal agreement is rejected. the main picture shows a burning car during the riots in paris on saturday. the guardian looks at the possibility of the government being held in contempt of parliament, on its front page. its lead examines the extent of racism in modern britain. in a survey of 1,000 people from ethnic minorities, a3% felt they were likely to be overlooked for promotion in a way that felt unfair, while 38% said they had been wrongly suspected of shoplifting in the past five years. meanwhile the daily mirror features

an interview with tv presenter noel edmonds, who has been speaking after being kicked out of the jungle by viewers of i'm a celebrity. i don't know if you've been watching but u2 are big fans of knoll. i'm disappointed he has gone. you are? a kind of think he wasjust not going to get... i don't think is popular enough. it's a harsh thing to say. you've got to keep harry in, emma lee. knoll was a novelty. he will be back on telly soon. is there a divide on the sofa? i've not seen any of it. i don't normally watch it, but it's been a good combination. they've been very nice to each other. it is a nice thing.

and very lovely and protective lid and hegarty. it's nice to watch. how good are you with a drill, perhaps a hammer? you are very good? it doesn't surprise me. spending is down apparently. 0ne doesn't surprise me. spending is down apparently. one third in 20 years. this is a big issue. it's quite interesting what's been going on. things like b people aren't going in and buying a set of screws and a power drill going in and buying a set of screws and a powerdrilland going in and buying a set of screws and a power drill and doing it themselves, it is often easier to get someone else to do it to the trade part of the business is actually doing really well. man with actually doing really well. man with a van is doing well but it's hit the retail side of the business. rather therapeutic. smashing a wall or being really pernickety about how the tiles higher. further

deconstruction. i did a bet this weekend, had it all out, had the screws lined up, my alan keyes. i love it. did you do it on your own? it said, it needs to people. i'm not sure about that. you proved them wrong. i have a feeling sal has not done diy for her entire life. not ever. come on. saturday night, chatting about this. tyson fury and deontay wilder. this is the moment tyson fury is knocked out, on his back, he gets up, and there is a brilliant piece here saying, as you can see from the headlines, rising from the canvas, tyson fury is a

hugely controversial figure. do you believe the apology is this question? for some people, this is beyond redemption. if you can win any medal and get booed. some of my tyson fury who people find equally abhorrent. what a recovery, blazing abhorrent. what a recovery, blazing a trailfor people abhorrent. what a recovery, blazing a trail for people with mental health issues. and he is suggesting health issues. and he is suggesting he will donate his purse to homeless people. how do you feel about edm is becoming big and friendly? —— cd-roms. becoming big and friendly? —— cd—roms. bringing home the bacon is

gone. it should be bringing home the bagels. all your eggs in one basket. no. all your berries in one bowl. you can't flog a dead horse any more. and this one, you can't kill two birds with one stone any more. you have to feed two birds with one scone. it's actually all very timely, because... and this is why this debate will be engaged with. a vegan man is bringing a landmark legal action in which a tribunal will decide for the first time whether veganism is a philosophical belief, akin to a religion, and therefore protected in law. jordi casamitjana claims he was sacked by the "league against cruel sports" for disclosing it invested pension funds in companies that carried out tests on animals. our legal correspondent clive coleman has been to meet him. if these were puppies, due think

people should have the choice to kill them this way? this is veganism in action. this shows you the whole life of the animal, how they are killed. jordi casamitjana is an ethical beacon who regularly takes to the streets of london to inform and persuade others that they should ta ke and persuade others that they should take up the vigo and lifestyle. some people only eight vegan diet but they only care about their health, not the animals. i care about the animals and environment in my health and everything which is why you use this term ethical beginners because to me beacon is is a belief and affects all my life. he worked for the league against cruel sports and claims that to his surprise, he discovered it was investing its pension funds in companies that

carried out animal testing. he says he do this to his boss ‘s attention but when nothing changed, he informed other employees and was sacked as a result. in a statement, the league against cruel sports said: jordi casamitjana is now being illegal place, claiming he was discriminated against on the basis of this vegan belief. it has to meet a number of criteria to qualify as a philosopher called belief. it has to be genuinely held in has to cover a substantial part of a person ‘s life and it has to be worthy of respect ina and it has to be worthy of respect in a democratic society. so that means that it can't interfere with the fundamental human rights of eve ryo ne the fundamental human rights of everyone else. but just the fundamental human rights of everyone else. butjust how

practical is the legal recognition of everyone's beliefs? the irony in all this is that rights are intended to be liberating but if we all turned into riots bearers with my rights clashing with your rights, we end up having to appeal to the courts to sort out our differences is that come become press for everybody. next year, our tribunal will, for the first time, decide if veganism is a philosophical belief protected by law. the case could provide vegans the protection in discrimination against employment, education and the present —— provision of goods and services on those holding other believes could receive similar legal protection. let us know what you think about that and bringing home the bacon. what was the scone one? so you don't kill two birds with one stone, you feed two birds with one scone. get

in touch the usual way. have you been watching strictly this is much? close your ears if you haven't watched it. charles then went over the weekend. what tweet did —— what we did you go out in? weak number four. he said it's got to the point where you want to go as far as you can but once it's over, he is desperate to do the school run and spoil as kids. you are taken right out of your world and the further you go down, the further you go in the competition, the harder it is to get back into your world because it's a weird bubble. but going back into your world is wonderful. the week after, how much did you miss it? 50- 50. i wasjust really pleased i could play golf again. have you seen the latest dynasty is?

evenif have you seen the latest dynasty is? even if you don't like painted dogs, by the end of it... i don't know what the painted dog years.|j by the end of it... i don't know what the painted dog years. i will show you a picture. two groups of painted dogs. the other group came back later but there was one line from david attenborough that said, the leader of the group eventually became old and ill and was killed by these lions but he didn't see it but her partner, he died with her. why would you want to watch that? it's heartbreaking. it was beautiful. the line was they died together in the private lands. we were in tears. on that happy note, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. hundreds of deliveroo riders across the capital are to display images of missing people on their backpacks to try and reunite them with theirfamilies in time for christmas.

create opportunities that local girl who plays in a primary school and loves the game, that pathway may not be that clear about how do you go to the next steps and as you know, in london, a mild can feel like miles away. you've got to do things nearby and close and accessible and itjust seemed like a no—brainer that we had put something in the capital. time for a look at the travel now. and it's all off to a good start actually on the tube. this is the latest information we have showing all lines are currently running well. 0n the roads though, we have queues anticlockwise on the m25 — that's just as you come to junction 23 for the mm south mimms. there's been an accident. and in hillingdon, the high street in harlington is closed northbound from the aa at harlington corner. a gas leak‘s being fixed. let's take a look at the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. though, good morning. it's a dry, bright start to the new working week. we have some early sunshine around and it's miles out there as

sustainable way forward and we are waiting for the government's green paper on social care. and of course, social care is intertwined with healthcare and you can separate the two. health team means we can prevent people from getting into hospital, using expensive nhs resources , hospital, using expensive nhs resources, so we hospital, using expensive nhs resources, so we need hospital, using expensive nhs resources, so we need to understand what the government is going to say in the green paper. sir david attenborough will make a speech at the united nation's climate change talks in poland today, the most critical meeting since the 2015 paris agreement. sir david will be representing the un's "people's seat", an initiative which gave citizens around the world the opportunity to send their messages to leaders via social media. his speech will be made up of some of those comments. my my message is that the people of the world know that the world is changing and they are behind politicians taking action. that is what the people ‘s seat in this new conference that is coming up, is

representing. that people want to stop climate change. the head of mi6, alex younger, will warn russia —— police in tenerife are searching for a british woman who vanished from outside a bar in the early hours of friday morning. 28 year old amy louise gerard, who is originally from cleethorpes, had been working as an animal trainer at a tenerife marine park. she was last seen outside an irish bar in puerto de la cruz in the north of the island. the foreign office says it is assisting her family. ukip leader gerard batten has survived a vote of no confidence held by the party's national executive committee. mr batten had been criticised by some in the party, including the former leader nigel farage, for appointing far—right activist tommy robinson as an adviser. ukip said its ruling body had voted overwhelmingly against a motion of no confidence. police in new york have managed to track down a british couple who got engaged in the city on friday and dropped the ring down a grate in times square. cctv images showed daniella anthony and john drennan unsuccessfully trying to retrieve the piece of jewellery. however, police officers later managed to rescue the ring and even cleaned it for them. the nypd then tweeted last night

that arrangements were being made to return the ring to the pair. and they are very pleased. not surprisingly. i wonder how much it cost. doesn't matter. one-month salary is the traditional, spend as much as you want. not important. the marriage is important, not the ring. soa marriage is important, not the ring. so a headband or something? what have you got? a lovely diamond ring. there you go. the marriage is important, not the ring, except for this one! good morning sally. what great weekend of sport. we will start with adobe ‘s sister is. ——

atmosphere in the stadium was really cool and everything was goodm was, it turned out, the perfect day to have the neighbours around. just when everton looked like they had outstayed their welcome at the home of their closest rivals, the book will sound —— found something as incredible as it was bizarre. goalkeeping error in the 96 minute and divock 0rigi sparking the kind of celebration is only a derby could deliver. in north london too, rivalries run big. spurs struggling to keep up with arsenal, a goal behind until arab die squeezed in a header. the relief clearly visible, but so too the underlying animosity of the occasion. it had barely returned to us before it bubbled over once more. spui’s returned to us before it bubbled over once more. spurs awarded a penalty, will harry kane it in his calls stop it intensity, passion and plenty to admire. the equaliser fitting of such a game. when the neighbours are this close, it would ta ke neighbours are this close, it would take something keep them apart. alexandre lacazette pulling arsenal backin

that's seven in just over two years. they added the scottish league cup to their tally with a 1—0 victory over aberdeen in the final at hampden park. ryan christie with the goal that won it for them. i take great pride and it feels great, but of course my happiness is more for the players and supporters. it was a really satisfying day for us it was a really satisfying day for us and like i say, for the players, they deserve a huge amount of credit. well, in celtic‘s absence, rangers have moved to the top of the scottish premiership, for the first time under steven gerrard, thanks to a 2—1victory at hearts. alfred morelos with the winner, and that after they'd been reduced to 10 men. who doesn't love an fa cup shock? aside from the losing side's fans, obviously. woking, from the sixth tier in england, knocked out swindon town of league two. jake hyde, the hero. the draw for the third round is live on bbc one tonight from 7 o'clock. that is the joy of the fa cup. u nless that is the joy of the fa cup. unless you are on the losing side, obviously! i love those tables,

in the second round of the uk championship, 0'sullivan said he needed to do something about the number of tournaments on the calendar and the travelling that involves. england's netball head coach tracey neville said this year had been the best of her sporting life, but she wanted to better it next year, after they completed a 3—nil series win over uganda. they won the final match 66—37 and it gave neville another chance to asses her squad after the world cup in liverpool injuly. i don't think there is the liverpool world cup yet, but maybe. maybe that can be arranged. i will try to find tyson fury singing for you. thanks. i like tyson fury singing for you. thanks. ilikea tyson fury singing for you. thanks. i like a bit of a singsong in the morning. it is 6:41a.m.. the prime minister is facing a week of brexit battles, including a five—day parliamentary debate, which starts tomorrow, and a possible televised debate withjeremy corbyn on sunday. and today she'll face a backlash when the attorney general, geoffrey cox, publishes a shortened version of his legal advice over mrs may's withdrawal deal. many mps say it's crucial they see the document in full,

including the liberal democrat leader sir vince cable, who's in westminster for us this morning. thank you very much forjoining us. talk to me about why you feel this legal advice should be seen by mps? well, when we have these crucial moments for the country, i was a member of the cabinet when we decided on military action in libya, syria and it is important that we should be able to justify these actions legally. if you remember, there was the case of the iraq war, tony blair, the evidence was crucial and the precedent was established that these things should be out in the open before parliament. the flip side to this is because legal advice between a lawyer and client, like the attorney general and theresa may, should remain confidential.

there is a difference between personal advice to an individual in terms of their legal position and that position of the country. the particulate issue that is exciting people here are is the major argument about the so—called northern ireland backstop, which is whether britain can leave a customs union arrangement unilaterally or under the agreement of the european union, that is a matter of law. the judgement of the attorney general is absolutely crucial. the assumption from a lot of us is what the legal advice to the government is that they cannot leave unilaterally and that concedes a major point, which is of concern to particularly the brexit side of the argument. there are those who are supporting brexit who say look, there have been so many hurdles on the way to getting this deal passed through, is this not just another step, another tool by those who do not want to see this deal go through, to frustrate the process ? deal go through, to frustrate the

process? well, there are people who are highly critical of it from both sides. at the moment the government is little bit like a car where it are falling off on a daily basis, the resignation of the science and education minister was absolutely a crucial step. whether they will survive this week with more resignations, i don't know. i think where we need to get to is that the government is going to be voted down, the argument earlier about what majority, and then where do we go from there? i in particular will be making the argument that we should be going back to the republic and asking them whether they want the government deal or to remain within the eu. would you be siding within the eu. would you be siding with labour? that appears to be the plan that the labour party is putting forward. the leadership of the labour party has been highly ambiguous. as you say, they are talking about an option. we are clear that this has to go back to the public and i think there is a growing amount of public support for

that and a growing amount of support in parliament. i think it might happened. michael both conceded today bell yesterday that this was going to happened. the amendment rolls out that this is a no deal scenario. do you support that? absolutely. i put my signature down on an amendment which means that topic will be disastrous if we were topic will be disastrous if we were to crash out of the eu. at the moment there is no need, we are no longer negotiating with the eu and a decision to crash the uk economy would be a deliberate act of vandalism by the british government. that cannot be allowed. another referendum, what about the fact that it is just and democratic? referendum, what about the fact that it isjust and democratic? the public was asked to vote, the public voted and of those who voted, the majority of those voted to leave the eu. that is democratic process. putting another referendum you are basically saying no, that didn't count because he didn't get the result we wanted. let's try again is

a big we have been over this argument many times. the central position is very different. we now know in a way that we didn't know backin know in a way that we didn't know back in 2016, what brexit actually involves. we have the government's proposal. is very different from what people were promised, people are unhappy with it either because they want a stronger brexit or because they think we have got a good deal as we are likely to get with the eu. going back to the public and asking them whether they approved of the government's deal seems to me an entirely reasonable and democratic way forward. thank you very much for your kind this morning. a a aa here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. today, contrasts out there. the northern half of the uk, pretty clear in chile. the risk of

some ice this morning. further south, a milder picture. some showery rain around as well. the rain has been creeping in from the west. this morning, some of the rain of the heavy across parts of wales with the risk of thunderstorms. some heavy showers. his showery rain d rifts eastwards heavy showers. his showery rain drifts eastwards across the country, anywhere south of whole towards preston. to the north of that, in much of northern england and scotland, it is clear and cold so temperatures here around 6— nine degrees. further south, around 10— 14 degrees. further south, around 10— 1a with a westerly breeze bringing that cloud and showers. into the evening hours, it should move fairly quickly, exiting eastern england. clear tonight from many of us, falling snow on the higher ground. a cold start to tuesday morning wherever you are. just above

freezing. it will be a sub zero start. a sharp frost. after that chilly start to tuesday, looking like not a bad day. strive further north. wintry showers across parts of sort that scotland. most of us will turn milderfrom the of sort that scotland. most of us will turn milder from the south—west is to see more clouded brain working in later in the afternoon. that batch of rain pushes northwards in eastwards a cross batch of rain pushes northwards in eastwards across the country. a smoggy start. through wednesday, as the rain bumps through, for a time, it will turn to snow across the highest grounds, the pennines, the southern uplands as well. to the north of that, still quite cold and clear for northern scotland. wednesday does look pretty soggy with a milderflow wednesday does look pretty soggy with a milder flow of air. and then

that mild thing continues towards the end of the week but also the u nsettled the end of the week but also the unsettled theme as well. low pressure very much in charge through thursday and friday where we see some very windy conditions developing. temperatures not doing badly to the time of year that thursday and friday, unsettled and pretty wet. there is a hint that things could turn try right to buy next weekend. i couldn't play golf this weekend because it was so miserable. glad it is improving. perhaps it would have been time to go shopping on the high street. we regularly report on the problems facing high street shops here on breakfast. lots of those big names have been closing down altogether or reducing

the number of stores they run. we're talking about the likes of toyrus, debenhams, mothercare, house of fraser. figures crunched by the bbc show 20,000 jobs have been lost from the high street and another 20,000 are under threat. according to research from lancaster university, of those that have lost theirjob , only a third went back into the industry. this isjohn's story. iamjohn, i amjohn, i worked in retailfor a2 yea rs. i amjohn, i worked in retailfor a2 years. most recently this year, with carpet right. the 31st, here we go again. it wasn't for scene, carpet right. the 31st, here we go again. it wasn't forscene, it carpet right. the 31st, here we go again. it wasn't for scene, it came com pletely again. it wasn't for scene, it came completely out of the blue. i just learnt to take a step back, i couldn't affected, found myself anotherjob couldn't affected, found myself another job and dusted couldn't affected, found myself anotherjob and dusted myself down and carry on. watch that rug. i'm still working in retail because someone still working in retail because someone likened to be tube blackpool rock. retail all the way through.

the reporter you can build with clients. —— the repoire. when they make the right choice you have a customerfor make the right choice you have a customer for life. make the right choice you have a customerfor life. i personally disagree with online retailing because it's going to drive bricks and mortar retail into the ground. i think there is a place for both. if you are made redundant, don't panic, ta ke you are made redundant, don't panic, take a step back, finds the company wa nt to take a step back, finds the company want to work for. there are plenty ofjobs out there. a lower position? take one. if i can do it, anybody can do it. they give are coming in. you've been looking at this sector closely. i be looking at data from the labour force survey over five yea rs the labour force survey over five years allowing you to follow individuals through a period of five

quarters slide studied specifically people who were working in retail but they've lost their jobs in retail and looked at what they've gone on to do and finding that many of them get back into jobs reasonably quickly, certainly within the first few months both —— but most of those who get back don't find jobs in retail. about one third, but two thirds don't. 0f those two thirds, where are they going? you say they find it easy. different sectors? they are going where there is work. very often, they are going into some other services which use the same kind of skills they need in the retail sector. a lot are going into health and social services, 16%. 12% of their education. 12% also into manufacturing. a whole variety of industries. you say therefore the skills must be transferable if they are using the same skills into different industries but how

tra nsfera ble different industries but how transferable are they if they are the more traditional retailjobs, 80 sales floor managers, store managers. we don't need so many people like that now. retailers in industry, there are many different occupations. financial managers, accountants, human resource, clea ners accountants, human resource, cleaners and those jobs are needed in every industry and those are tra nsfera ble in every industry and those are transferable skills. people specifically involved in sales, they've got people skills that matter and a lot of industries and may help them getjobs elsewhere. the british retail consortium have said yes, we will have 900,000 new jobs in retail by 2025 or something like that but don't worry, the jobs remaining will be better paid and different, perhapsjobs remaining will be better paid and different, perhaps jobs that don't exist at the moment. do you believe that? it's difficult to look into a crystal ball and see whatjobs will exist in ten years time, given the speed at which technology is changing the nature of the labour

market but what we've been seeing over the next bash over the last 15 yea rs over the next bash over the last 15 years is the polarisation of the market, morejobs at years is the polarisation of the market, more jobs at the top end, more at the bottom and a big gulf in the middle. that's what's happening in retail, the skills in the middle are being replaced. thank you very much for taking us through your research. five years. plastic, it's got us all talking this year. in fact, single—use was collins dictionary‘s word of the year. many credit the bbc‘s blue planet 2 series for the increased awareness, but how much of the stuff is going to be coming into our homes over the festive period? tim muffett is in alnwick for us this morning, where he's hoping to find out. good morning, where are you? good morning, where are you? good morning, where are you? good morning from alnwick northumberland. even if you are a household concerned about the environment, how much plastic

rubbish do you generate and what about christmas? this is the bbc brea kfast about christmas? this is the bbc breakfast in making its tv debut this morning. an experiment of running this month and the easiest way to explain is this. hello. this is your breakfast bin. amazing. alnwick, northumberland. a new bin and a family up for new challenge. we decided to accept this challenge. we decided to accept this challenge because we would like to see exactly how much plastic we are using. we know we need to cut down, we know it's bad to the environment because it just gets we know it's bad to the environment because itjust gets thrown in the bin and tossed away, we don't actually know how much. throughout december, simon, heather, matthew, michael and jelly will put all the plastic rubbish in the bin.|j

michael and jelly will put all the plastic rubbish in the bin. i wonder how much plastic christmas is going to bring. it will be higher opening the sealed plastic we use, even though we are trying to take baby steps in reducing plastic, there is still so much we can't get rid of. plastic packaging which all families have to deal with. exactly, what else can you do? ijust can't bear to think about what might happen if we don't try and stop plastic in say the next 50 years. i really want to help with the environment in reducing plastic in the household. when you order something from one of the big companies and you get a box within a box within a box within plastic within plastic, it's unavoidable but also, it is a challenge to see how far we can push ourselves to see how much we are actually using and see how much we can sort of cut down by. simon and

had tojoin me this morning. what's the most important thing you will learn? we are going to learn how much we go through. the amount of packaging over the christmas period, thatis packaging over the christmas period, that is a large family are going to see, will be eye opening and it will be an interesting experiment. let's get some of today's rubbish in the bin. there you go. already, this is december so far, so by this time, we might need a new bin.|j december so far, so by this time, we might need a new bin. i was hoping there would not be too much but we are filling this bag every day. it's quite staggering. we will talk more on that later. 0ne family's rubbish for one month. the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup.

the mayor, sadiq khan, has warned the number of met police officers will drop to its lowest level since 2002 unless hundreds of millions of pounds in new funding can be secured. city hall claims as things stand, scotland yard is required to make a further three hundred and 335 million pounds worth of savings over the next three years. that's 10 million more than previous forecasts. hundreds of deliveroo riders across the capital are to display images of missing people on their backpacks to try and reunite them with theirfamilies in time for christmas. throughout december, 500 riders will carry the photos of eight people as part of a campaign with the charity missing people. an earlier trail of the scheme across four cities including london resulted in three out of four people featured being found safe and well. next year, the copper box will become home to another top—flight sports team, netball super league side london pulse. the venue's a regular home for netball, including yesterday's win for england over

uganda in the third test. pulse founder natalie seaton thinks the new team will help inspire the next generation of players. we need to have opportunities and create opportunities for that local girls who plays in her primary school and loves the game, that pathway may not be that clear about how do you go to the next steps and as you know, in london, a mile can feel like miles away. you've got to do things nearby and close and accessible and itjust seemed like a no—brainer that we had to put something in the capital. time for a look at the travel now. 0n the roads we have queues anticlockwise on the m25 — that's just as you come to junction 23 for the mm south mimms. there's been an accident. and in hillingdon, the high street in harlington is closed northbound from the aa at harlington corner.

a gas leak‘s being fixed. let's take a look at the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's a dry, bright start to the new working week. we have some early sunshine around and it's mild out there too. temperatures in most places in double figures. it will stay mild all day but there is wet weather in the forecast, showers blowing in from the west as we head through the late morning into the afternoon so here we go then. cloud thickening all the while through the morning and the showers will start to move through quite quickly really. a brisk westerly wind, lots of cloud around for the second half of the day, some brighter spells here and there, top temperatures between 12 and 1a celsius. once again, it will feel mild. but it will turn colder. 0ur westerly wind become more north—westerly and it will introduce cooler air so clear skies overnight and a touch of frost forming with temperatures dropping to around the freezing possibly just above. a few early mist patches as well

with those light winds but tomorrow, dry and fine, plenty of early sunshine around, feeling cooler, temperatures in single figures and clouding over by the end of the day. unsettled for the rest of the week. that's it for now. more from me in around half an hour. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: the battle over theresa may's legal advice on brexit. labour warns of a constitutional crisis if it isn't published in full, the government says the details must remain confidential. the government's chief lawyer will explain his thinking here at the house of commons later, but could he be forced to reveal more than he wants? a big fall in the money spent on care for the over 65s. we begin special series on the challenge of looking after the most vulnerable people in society. the human cost of the

crisis on the high street. at least a0,000 jobs have been affected by the turmoil in retail this year, with thousands of redundancies and many more roles still under threat. a dramatic day of derbies in the premier league. liverpool manager jurgen klopp apologises for his celebration, after their late, late winner over everton at anfield. lost and found. the engagement ring dropped in new york and the british couple who thought they'd never see it again. it isa it is a cold start to the day across the northern half of the country, with a risk of ice in scotland, mild in the shout with showery rain. i'll bring you all the details in 15 minutes. it's monday 3rd december. our top story — the government's chief legal adviser, the attorney general, will publish a shortened version of his guidance on theresa may's brexit withdrawal agreement today, but mps of all parties are demanding to see the document in full. some of them believe it contains a suggestion that the uk could end up in an indefinite customs union with the eu —

and the government is trying to hide it. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. there is definitely pressure on this. absolutely. some on the opposition benches and the conservative benches, saying that the covenant must publish the full legal advice published by the attorney general because it is absolutely right that mps get to see it before they make their decision and cast their vote a week tomorrow. it all boils down to this issue of the so—called backstop. the insurance policy to ensure that the border between northern ireland and

the republic of ireland remains open in the future, whatever happens. there is real concern from some critics that the arrangement with the eu will mean that the uk cannot get out of it unless the eu allows us get out of it unless the eu allows us to. we know there have been many areas of disagreement on this issue of brexit. and this is just the start of a very busy week for the prime minister? that would be a slight understatement. it would. let's look at the brexit diary. a discussion in the commons today regarding the legal advice from the attorney general. then tomorrow is the start of a five—day debate in parliament over mrs may's brexit bill. on sunday, she's scheduled to go face—to—face with jeremy corbyn

in a televised debate. there is a debate about the bait. some brexiteers make the argument that they were not properly represented. we might get there in the end. and then on tuesday, mps will vote on whether to accept mrs may's brexit deal. who knows what will happen, if that vote is defeated and that does look ricky likely at the moment. we love a debate about the debate. —— look pretty. thank you very much. see later. —— see you later. the amount of money councils spent on care for the elderly in england, scotland and wales has fallen in the last eight years, according to figures analysed by the bbc. the biggest drop was in england, where the amount councils say they spent plummmeted by nearly a quarter.

wales and scotland have largely protected their budgets. in wales it fell by 8%. and scotland the cut was just 7%. the government says the figures don't take into account the money the nhs in england puts into the care system. there are no comparable figures for northern ireland. here's our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. want a cup of tea? no? what about a glass of bitter lemon? this is a day when 89—year—old dottie simply doesn't want to get out of bed. she has alzheimer's and needs constant care. it means her daughter sam has seen first—hand the pressures on the care system that today's analysis of spending reveals. the contrast shows what life is to be like. but when they needed help, it was hard to get. her mother spent three months in a hospital ward before they found a bed in local authority funded home. there is lots of expensive places for people to go.

if you don't have £5,000 a month, well, between a000 and £5,000 a month, then you have to wait for a local authority bed. it is crucial that as families, we find somewhere that is spot—on. because it is really tough? yeah. the bbc‘s analysis shows council spending on care for each person aged 65 and over has fallen in the last eight years, with the biggest drop in england. here at aged uk portsmouth, they have said that has meant the loss of many early health services. i think in the long run it is costing us more because people are reaching that crisis point which possibly could have been prevented, and then they perhaps need more support, more help. councils say cuts to their funding have meant they have had

to make difficult choices. the government maintains it has put more than £3.6 billion extra into care this year, and that it will publish plans for its long—term funding soon. alison holt, bbc news, portsmouth. tomorrow we'll be looking at social care in scotland, where spend is higher than in england and wales, and asking if it is enough. if you want to find out how much is spent on care for over 65s in your area, we've created a new online tool that you can find on the bbc website. sir david attenborough will make a speech at the united nation's climate change talks in poland today, the most critical meeting since the 2015 paris agreement. sir david will be representing the un's "people's seat", an initiative which gave citizens around the world the opportunity to send their messages to leaders via social media. his speech will be made up of some of those comments. my message is that the people of the world know that the world

is changing and they are behind politicians taking action. that is what the people's seat in this new conference that is coming up, is representing. that people want to stop climate change. police are searching for a british woman who disappeared from outside a bar in tenerife in the early hours of friday morning. twenty—eight year old amy louise gerard, had been working as an animaltrainer at a tenerife marine park. she was last seen outside an irish bar in puerto de la cruz in the north of the island. the foreign office says it is assisting her family. the head of mi6, alex younger, will warn russia "not to underestimate our capabilities" in a rare speech today. he'll describe how the intelligence service exposed those behind the novichok poisoning in salisbury, when a former russian spy and his daughter were targeted,

and a british woman died. mr younger will address students at st andrew's university. police in new york have tracked down a british couple who lost an engagement ring down a drain, thanks to people sharing the story on twitter. the man had proposed to his girlfriend in central park but shortly afterwards, they dropped the ring in times square. lebo diseko has the details. a moment to remember, but for the wrong reasons, as a couple lose their engagement ring down a grate in new york. they were walking through times square after the groom had popped the question earlier in the day, when the ring slipped off the bride—to—be's finger and down the grille. the couple searched for at least two hours, to no avail. they eventually gave up, thinking it was lost forever. enter new york's police.

they opened up the covering and continued the search after the couple had gone. when it had not been retrieved that evening, these officers came back the next day and found it. a very lucky break. it's like finding a needle in a haystack, you know, because we've been plenty of these searches where we have come up with nothing, unfortunately, and, you know, fortunately, this one has a good ending to it, so... the only problem was they did not have the couple's details and so the next challenge was to find them. the nypd put out a twitter call to action, asking new yorkers to help track the couple down. twitter worked its magic and the two were found. their names arejohn and daniella and they were told the good news by friends moments after landing back in the uk. they say they are overjoyed and have promised the police a special mention on their big day. lebo diseko, bbc news. sir david attenborough will address the un's climate change summit in poland later amid warnings that the planet is ‘at a crossroads.‘ the meeting in katowice will call for drastic cuts in emissions to meet the targets set in the 2015 paris agreement. we‘re joined from poland by camilla born, who‘s from the think tank "e3g". people all over the world to have

their voices heard. we are not look out government coming together at international meetings to decide what we are going to do about the climate. we have got the opportunity to do so by saying what we want through social media. david attenborough is here as a representative to leaders saying that we want more on climate action. david davis is a presenting the —— david davis is a presenting the —— david attenborough representing the people‘s seat. they are still the one who make the decisions. no, absolutely. the reason for having that people ‘s voice here is that they make the decisions but they only make them on those who elect them. those given permission to take action at home and action internationally. here it will give

the extra bounce and impetus to pushing harder and faster to agreeing the rules we are working on, but also permission to send signals that political commitment, when they go home and they expect their citizens to do more and that they are putting in plans so that they are putting in plans so that they can deliver more action on the ground which we can all be part. we can have cleaner cities, we can work in cleaner workplaces, we can use public transport. all these opportunities, we have all of these diet. we can work together to take that climate action that we need urgently. the science says that we need it and having our voices can only help that action more strongly. we have noticed in the last 6—a months, are more of an appetite for some of these stories about recycling i stick my blue planet to and things like that, that there are more people taking a small individual changes in their own lives and as those at, it will make a different to those who make rules

and legislate for what powell we use and legislate for what powell we use and those sorts of things which impact on the environment. absolutely. is really unsettling to know we will live in the future with climate change and it is important we have the opportunity to take action and feel empowered as part of the solution. we can take action where we live. where we go to school, where we work. we can demand that we have clean energy powering our lives, we can also speak to each other and that is something that is something really powerful about david attenborough, starting the conversation and asking what we want. we can vote and work with our political representatives. we can work with our leaders, teachers and bosses and try to work together and do more action. paris was a big step forward , do more action. paris was a big step forward, how will we be be looking at poland in a few years time and what sort of steps need to be made? paris was an important step forward

and today in katowice, we‘re working on agreeing on at breaking manual for the paris agreement, making it work so it can deliver will stop we need to see signals that governments are going to go home and notjust talk about what they are going to do on an international level but they will go home and say we are going to do more, look at our policies and how we engage our citizens. 2018 in katowice should be the turning point when governments say right, next step, we have seen the science, we are going to go home and engage our citizens. even deeper climate action to protect our futures. what sort of difference can you make it did not got the full support of a huge superpower like america, and the controversy of holding an event like this ina controversy of holding an event like this in a country like poland weather is still a dependency on coal power and a further commitment

to increase that over the coming yea rs ? to increase that over the coming years? absolutely. it's really important to consider this but also that we know this. we‘ve seen businesses and cities and investors all coming out and saying, we don‘t ca re all coming out and saying, we don‘t care what the federal government is doing. we care about taking action on climate change. we need to do that. that is the past, the coal. we had that in the past. we need to move forward. we want to modernise our economies. it helps others and countries and moving into a more prosperous economy. thank you very much were talking to us. sir david attenborough will be making that speech in poland. sarah, the weather. it was absolutely miserable

at the weekend. yes, it was. the weekend was a bit ofa yes, it was. the weekend was a bit of a washout to many of us. some of us, the weather is looking a bit u nsettled. us, the weather is looking a bit unsettled. but not everywhere. it is a north—south split across the northern half of the uk. there will be some sunshine. further south, its milder but there was more of that showery array and around. the sun just starting to creep up. this is how the skies are looking in norfolk. more clout and rain working eastwards. some heady bursts initially. the odd rumble of thunder, heavy showers for the south—west of england. as they push further east, they will tend to ease a little bit. further north, different picture. the northerly breeze to scotland, northern ireland and much of northern england. temperatures 6— eight degrees some sunshine. do watch out the odd icy

stretch and wanted to wintry lorries later on. into the evening, we are going to be seen temperatures dropped fairly quickly as the cloud clears. a cold night ahead wherever you are. temperatures will be a few degrees either side of freezing. again, the risk of some icy stretches. wherever you are, we are likely to see a cold, frosty start to tuesday morning. tomorrow starts off on to tuesday morning. tomorrow starts offona to tuesday morning. tomorrow starts off on a chilly note that actually not a bad day. more sunshine in the south and we have seen. again, the northern half of the uk looks largely dry and sunny. just one or two snow flurries across the mountains of scotland. more rain cloud working into the south—west, turning milder here but the most of us, 5— nine degrees, cooler than it has been. some sunshine to be enjoyed. into the evening hours on tuesday, that rain creeps northwards in eastwards across much of the country. a soggy start to wednesday

to northern ireland. clearer and drive to the north of scotland but you will notice some white colours on the map. some of that could turn to snow. before turning milder from the south later in the day. a bit u nsettled, the south later in the day. a bit unsettled, mild, breezy day. low pressure stays with us, looking ahead through thursday and on into friday. a few more showers on thursday, and by friday, the main theme will be the strength of the wind blowing around this area of low pressure. a blustery day, further showers as we had through thursday into friday but a hint that things could turn a bit right to buy saturday. —— bit brighter. news that the us and china have come to a bit of an agreement over a trade dispute is having a positive impact on the markets. victoria has more on this and the other business news today. good morning. that‘s right. this has been an issue that‘s been worrying the markets for quite a while.

the us president donald trump and his chinese counterpart xijinping have been hitting each other‘s countries with taxes on the goods they sell. over the weekend the pair agreed a 90—day truce. stock markets in asia are up by around 2% on this news and we will watch to see if there is a reaction on the ftse at 8:00. the story we‘ve been reporting on all morning. at least a0,000 jobs have been caught up in the turmoil on the high street this year. bbc figures show 20,000 roles have been lost with many more still under threat after loads of store closures. better news for the beer industry though. sales between august and october jumped a.a% on a year ago — the first rise in this particular period in some 15 years.

it was all thanks to the hot summer we had and the world cup. let‘s take a look at the papers — most of today‘s front pages lead on brexit. the times reports that the dup has "threatened to abandon" theresa may in any confidence vote, should she fail to get her deal through parliament, the image is of the actor, gemma arterton at last night‘s independent film awards. labour is determined to force through a no—confidence motion, says the metro. it quotes shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer warning his party would push for a general election if the eu withdrawal agreement is rejected. the main picture shows a burning car during the riots in paris on saturday. the guardian looks at the possibility of the government being held in contempt of parliament, on its front page. its lead examines the extent of racism in modern britain. in a survey of 1,000 people from ethnic minorities, a3% felt they were likely to be overlooked for promotion in a way

that felt unfair. meanwhile the daily mirror features an interview with tv presenter noel edmonds, who has been speaking after being kicked out of the jungle by viewers of i‘m a celebrity. a controversial kicking out. sad to see him go. heston blumenthal, over the years, we‘ve had snail ice cream among others, a new one, his way of bringing flavours out in a soup is to put gravel in it. apparently there is a bit of rock from a place he has in provence and it‘s got silica in it which helps to thicken the soup. does it dissolve? i am feeling my teeth tingle. it's not like putting bits of tarmac in your tomato soup. it is a certain type of rock that apparently it does the

business so it could well be on the menu in the future. i am unlikely to argue with heston blumenthal. he knows what he is doing. there is normally some dry ice somewhere. there you go. veganism has been increasingly popular in recent years — but should it be seen as a philosophical belief like a religion? 0ne campaigner has begun a landmark legal action which will decide for the first time if his vegan beliefs should be protected in law. our legal correspondent clive coleman has been to meet him. if these were puppies, do you think people should have the choice to kill them this way? this is veganism in action. this shows you the whole life of the animal, how they are killed. jordi casamitjana is an ethical vegan who regularly takes to the streets of london to inform and persuade others that they should take up the vegan lifestyle. some people only eat a vegan diet but they don‘t care about their health, not the animals.

i care about the animals and environment in my health and everything which is why you use this term ethical beginners because to me beacon is is a belief and affects all my life. jordi worked for the league against cruel sports and claims that to his surprise, he discovered it was investing its pension funds in companies that carried out animal testing. he says he drew this to his boss‘s attention but when nothing changed, he informed other employees and was sacked as a result. in a statement, the league against cruel sports said: jordi casamitjana is now being illegal place, claiming he was discriminated against on the basis of this vegan belief. it has to meet a number of criteria to qualify as a philosophical belief.

it has to be genuinely held and has to cover a substantial part of a person‘s life and it has to be worthy of respect in a democratic society. so that means that it can‘t interfere with the fundamental human rights of everyone else. but just how practical is the legal recognition of everyone‘s beliefs? the irony in all this is that rights are intended to be liberating but if we all turned into rights—bearers with my rights clashing with your rights, we end up having to appeal to the courts to sort out our differences and that can become oppressive for everybody. next year, a tribunal will, for the first time, decide if veganism is a philosophical belief protected by law. the case could provide vegans with protection against discrimination in employment, education and the provision of goods and services and those holding other believes could receive

similar legal protection. clive coleman, bbc news. you‘re watching breakfast, still to come this morning — i sounded like i came from cornwall there. don‘t offend people from cornwall. we‘re introducing you to our ‘bbc breakfast plastics family‘! stage three times really quickly. bbc plastics family. tim, tell us what it‘s all about. you have a new tongue twister there. a beautiful morning in alnwick, northumberland and we are introducing you to the bbc breakfast bin. the idea is that one family will collect all that plastic rubbish for one month to see how much they will collate. why are you doing this? we need to see how much we use in one month instead of

throwing it in the bin. we need to see how much we are going through. it's see how much we are going through. it‘s under way. let‘s get some of the plastic in now. the month of december has yielded this much plastic and it‘s only a few days. it's plastic and it‘s only a few days. it‘s quite chilling. more later. first, the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m sonja jessup. the mayor sadiq khan has warned the number of met police officers will drop to its lowest level since 2002 unless hundreds of millions of pounds in new funding can be secured. city hall claims as things stand, scotland yard is required to make a further £335 million worth of savings over the next three years. that‘s £10 million more than previous forecasts. hundreds of deliveroo riders across the capital are to display images of missing people on their backpacks to try and reunite them with theirfamilies in time for christmas. throughout december, five hundred riders will carry the photos of eight people as part of a campaign with the charity missing people.

an earlier trial of the scheme across four cities including london resulted in three out of four people featured being found safe and well. next year the copper box will become home to another top—flight sports team, netball super league side london pulse. the venue‘s a regular home for netball, including yesterday‘s win for england over uganda in the third test. pulse founder natalie seaton thinks the new team will help inspire the next generation of players. we need to have opportunities and create opportunities for that local girl that plays in her primary school and loves the game, that pathway may not be that clear about how do you go to the next steps and, as you know, in london, a mile can feel like miles away. you‘ve got to do things nearby and close and accessible and itjust seemed like a no—brainer that we had to put something in the capital. time for a look at the travel now. and on the tube— the metropolitan line has no service

between moor park to chesham and amersham. that‘s also causing problems for chiltern railways. 0n the roads though we have queues anticlockwise on the m25— they start before junction 25 to enfield and it‘s busy until junction 23 for the mm south mimms. there‘s been an accident and a car‘s broken down too. and in hillingdon, the high street in harlington is closed northbound from the aa at harlington corner. a gas leak‘s being fixed. let‘s take a look at the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it‘s a dry, bright start to the new working week. we have some early sunshine around and it‘s mild out there too. temperatures for most places in double figures. it will stay mild all day but there is wet weather in the forecast, showers blowing in from the west as we head through the late morning into the afternoon so here we go then. cloud thickening all the while through the morning and the showers will start to move through quite quickly really. a fairly brisk westerly wind, lots of cloud around for the second half of the day, perhaps some brighter spells here and there, top temperatures

between 12 and 1a celsius. once again, it will feel mild. but it will turn colder. 0ur westerly wind become more north—westerly and it will introduce cooler air so clear skies overnight and a touch of frost forming too with temperatures dropping to around the freezing mark, possibly just above. a few early mist patches as well with those light winds but tomorrow, dry and fine, plenty of early sunshine around, feeling cooler, temperatures in single figures and clouding over by the end of the day. unsettled for the rest of the week. that‘s it for now. more from me in around half an hour. and of course you can take a look at our website for more. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. the government‘s chief legal adviser, the attorney general, will publish a shortened version of his guidance on theresa may‘s brexit withdrawal agreement today, but mps of all parties are demanding to see the document in full. they are concerned by reports that geoffrey cox‘s advice contains a suggestion that the uk could end

up in an indefinite customs union with the eu. earlier the lib dem leader sir vince cable told us that the government‘s brexit bill was doomed to fail. at the moment the government is a little bit like a car where the bits are falling off on a daily basis.|j think were we are go to get to is the government is going to be voted down, the argument earlier about what majority and where we go from there. i in particular will be making the argument that we should be going back to the public and asking them whether they want the government deal or to remain in the european union. the amount of money that councils have spent on care for people aged 65 and over in england, scotland and wales, has fallen since 2010. figures analysed by the bbc show that in england it has plummeted by almost a quarter. scotland and wales have largely protected their budgets. the government says the figures don‘t take into account money the nhs puts into the system.

ian hudspeth from the local government association says councils in england need a care plan that offers a ‘sustainable way forward‘. in some cases, i think some councils are at tipping point. we do need a sustainable way forward and we are waiting for the government‘s green paper on social care. and of course, social care is intertwined with healthcare and you can‘t separate the two. health team means we can prevent people from getting into hospital, using expensive nhs resources, so we need to understand what the government is going to say in the green paper. sir david attenborough will make a speech at the united nation‘s climate change talks in poland today, the most critical meeting since the 2015 paris agreement. sir david will be representing the un‘s "people‘s seat", an initiative which gave citizens around the world the opportunity to send their messages to leaders via social media. his speech will be made up of some of those comments. my message is that the people of the world know that the world

is changing and they are behind politicians taking action. that is what the people‘s seat in this new conference that is coming up, is representing. that people want to stop climate change. ukip leader gerard batten has survived a vote of no confidence held by the party‘s national executive committee. mr batten had been criticised by some in the party, including the former leader nigel farage, for appointing far—right activist tommy robinson as an adviser. ukip said its ruling body had voted "overwhelmingly" against a motion of no confidence. police in new york have managed to track down a british couple who got engaged in the city on friday and dropped the ring down a grate in times square. cctv images showed daniella anthony and john drennan unsuccessfully trying to retrieve the piece of jewellery. however, police officers later managed to rescue the ring and even cleaned it for them.

the nypd then tweeted last night that arrangements were being made to return the ring to the pair. i don‘t know how long they spent looking for it. i would say four hours. i would search for a long—time. hours. i would search for a long-time. i would not move. hours. i would search for a long-time. iwould not move. iwould be calling the police, talking to the drainage people. that dream, i would not have left. you get stuff done. take that as you will. good morning sally. good morning! you wouldn‘t have left it. morning sally. good morning! you wouldn't have left it. if it started to rain and got a bit cold... i would never. it is great they have

been reunited. a bit of a dramatic day yesterday in the premier league, did you see jurgen day yesterday in the premier league, did you seejurgen klopp do a chest bump the liverpool goalkeeper? was ita bump the liverpool goalkeeper? was it a step too far? i love a bit of emotion and sometimes people cannot control it. hugely criticised for it but it was in the moment, just what he felt and he couldn‘t stop himself. i quite like it. it was a dramatic day of derbies in the premier league, with local rivals in merseyside, north and west london all facing each other. adam wild was watching the action. for a fixture that has seen so much drama down the decades, rarely has merseyside seen anything like this. it was a brilliant night, that is what football is about. the atmosphere in the stadium was really wow, really cool and everything — good. it was, it turned out, the perfect day to have the neighbours around.

just when everton looked like they had outstayed their welcome at the home of their closest rivals, liverpool found something as incredible as it was bizarre. a goalkeeping error in the 96th minute and divock 0rigi sparking the kind of celebrations only a derby could deliver. in north london too, rivalries run deep. spurs struggling to keep up with arsenal, a goal behind until eric dier squeezed in a header. the relief clearly visible, but so too the underlying animosity of the occasion. it had barely returned to a simmer before it bubbled over once more. spurs awarded a penalty, whilst tempers raged, harry kane kept his cool. intensity, passion and plenty to admire. aubameyang‘s equaliser fitting of such a game. when the neighbours are this close, it would take something special to keep them apart. amazingly, alexandre lacazette pulling arsenal back in front before the crowning glory, lucas torreira, a moment the red side of london

will remember for long—time. whilst amongst the nearest and dearest visiting chelsea, claudio ranieri. their former manager now in charge down the road at fulham. the welcome was warm, the hospitality soon ran out. ruben loftus—cheek finally sending the visitors packing. 0n derby day, there was no place for sentiment. adam wild, bbc news. and there was one very sour note from the arsenal game. a tottenham fan has been arrested after a banana skin was thrown towards pierre emerick aubameyang during the match. tottenham said that the supporter would be banned. celtic have won every trophy on offer in scotland since brendan rodgers took over as manager, that‘s seven in just over two years. they added the scottish league cup to their tally with a 1—0 victory over aberdeen in the final at hampden park. ryan christie with the goal that won it for them. i take great pride and it feels great, but of course my happiness is more for the players and supporters. it was a really satisfying day for us and like i say,

for the players, they deserve a huge amount of credit. well in celtic‘s absence, rangers have moved to the top of the scottish premiership, for the first time under steven gerrard, thanks to a 2—1victory at hearts. alfred morelos with the winner and that after they‘d been reduced to 10 men. arsenal‘s 100% start to the women‘s super league season is over. they were beaten 2—0 by manchester city, england international georgia stanway with both goals. city are now three points behind arsenal at the top of the table. tyson fury says the world knows who the real champion is, after his controversial draw with deontay wilder. a host of former boxers believed fury had won the fight and his camp have demanded an investigation and a rematch. thejudges were split, one going for fury, one making it a tie, and one scoring it overwhelmingly in wilder‘s favour. i‘ve never seen the worst decision

in my life. i don‘t know what fight they were watching. the guy that had me at 115— 111. they were watching. the guy that had me at 115- 111. i they were watching. the guy that had me at 115— 111. i don‘t know what he meant. this is in the first time it has happened. this is as bad as the decision as the lennox lewis holyfield fight. but who am i to say? holyfield fight. but who am i to 7 i holyfield fight. but who am i to say? iam not holyfield fight. but who am i to say? i am not thejudges. earlier on we said we would show you pictures of his singing. this was in his press co nfe re nce , of his singing. this was in his press conference, fairly giddy after the fight. this is what happened. buy, buy, miss american pie. drove my xavi to the levy but the levy was bright... —— chevy. frank warren is there as well. if you listen to it carefully, you hear frank singing. see what he does at

the end. there you go. he has practised that a few times. definitely his karaoke number. thank you very much, see in about 20 minutes time. it is now 19 minutes to eight. i had to wait for that. sarah is go to have the weather for us sarah is go to have the weather for us shortly. —— is going. staff at the fashion brand ted baker have alleged there is a culture of "forced hugging" by the company‘s boss, claiming it amounts to harassment that is going unchallenged. the announcement follows an online petition by some employees who accuse ray kelvin of verbal, physical and sexual harassment. in a statement, ted baker said its founder "greets is it ever acceptable in the

workplace? i love harking. —— hugging. let‘s speak to the psychologist geoff beattie. iam in no i am in no wings belittling this. there is a big difference between this, some of the allegations, the brand found that young female members of staff to sit on his knee, cuddle him or let him mass arch them. if that is true, these are allegations, if that is true and thatis allegations, if that is true and that is clearly unacceptable. we have decided to have a wider discussion about what is acceptable in the workplace. i think you were a case topic if i didn‘t want to do it, i would case topic if i didn‘t want to do it, iwould have case topic if i didn‘t want to do it, i would have said no thanks. -- 0k. there are people who came on

saying i do not handshake, i hugged. is about how you make of a person feel and how they respond. is about how you make of a person feel and how they respondm is about how you make of a person feel and how they respond. it has to bea feel and how they respond. it has to be a form of quarrel are achieved if —— cooperative interaction. this particular case, it is down up with the power dynamic because if you start hugging people and make them uncomfortable that is a real issue. the issue here was that the hogs we re the issue here was that the hogs were long hugs, there is a rule that they should be quite brief. 0n the positive side is that it can make people feel much better, the release of chemicals. it all depends from the circumstances, who is doing it and whether there is this power dynamic on it. the first option is if it is your boss, how do you signal to them that you are not comfortable? signal to them that you are not comfortable ? it takes signal to them that you are not comfortable? it takes a bolder person to verbally say it, so we normally say it nonverbally and people do this masking smile, which

isiam people do this masking smile, which is i am kind of happy but not inside. and some people cannot be bear the thought of that. you can tell when of you have hugged anybody, whether it is the moment to break away. there is a change in the body. release me now! it is so complicated because touch is such a powerful signal. it is powerful psychologically and symbolically and we rely upon all of these other signals. that is part of the problem. you have to choose the person you are going to hug carefully because some people feel much better with a hug and it is that reassurance and feeling good. if you choose the wrong person in the wrong circumstances than it can be very problematic. is it alljust too much to think about? if you said no hugs, that could not the misconstrued. people go through horrible things at work sometimes and if you have a really good

friendship with somebody and they had bad news you mightjust go and give them a hug. if it is your friend, it is different. this is more about being in the workplace, coming in and your loss saying how are you doing? just don‘t do it. also, you think about the psychology of him being at that point. what does he think he is doing? 0r she. do they think that they are facilitating a more relaxed culture? but not been able to read the signals. at the core of this is the way, as human beings, we signal to other human beings. we don't do it often, ina other human beings. we don't do it often, in a subtle way. shouldn't there be a lie in the? i came in the morning and people said hello how are you doing and we hugged and after the programme i wanted to say how rubbish it had been and how disappointed he is, hejust gave me a hug. it those the lines. i do want

those. —— i don‘t want those. a hug. it those the lines. i do want those. -- i don't want those. human beings are having to deal with that all the time. it is a complex thing because human beings are signalling to each other all the time and the problem with the hug is, you are forced —— forcing your position on someone. forced —— forcing your position on someone. a bit like donald trump and his handshake. you see how uncomfortable they are, but the problem is that it hugs sometimes it has had a facial expressions. if they could see the expression, they would know they are making some people uncomfortable and would draw back. interesting thing about bosses, perhaps they need to be more receptive to non—verbal communication of the people working for them and this discomfort wouldn't happened. it is a universal greeting. i am not really sure if we have decided it is yes or no. greeting. i am not really sure if we have decided it is yes or now greeting. i am not really sure if we have decided it is yes or no. it is complicated. i was thinking while

you were talking about the number of people who i hug of particular if i have not seen them in a long time. i saw some friends yesterday and we naturally hug each other. friends. you are at the same level, not a status thing. the problem is, if it is our boss, how do you tell the boss that you are not happy with this form of interaction?” boss that you are not happy with this form of interaction? i will give our boss a massive hug after this. team hug. thank you so much. really interesting debate, like you said, where those lines are and where you draw them. let‘s go to alnwick, in northumberland. let‘s ta ke alnwick, in northumberland. let‘s take three seconds. that is beautiful. a lovely moment. we are talking about plastics. we will

speak to tim muffett, to speak to a family who are recycling their plastics. but we will see what is happening with the weather where you are this morning. sarah has it. what are this morning. sarah has it. what a gorgeous picture. good morning. yes, gorgeous sunrises, the sun just starting to creep up across many parts of the country. not everywhere. there is more cloud and showery rain but this is the picture in devon at the moment. clear skies but the cloud is that things went sun is up, it will be fairly cloudy. a bit ofa sun is up, it will be fairly cloudy. a bit of a mixed picture across the northern half of the uk. there are conditions, the risk of ice for scotland. further south, showery rain, more cloud and milder. forgot that rain this morning across parts of wales. pretty heavy at times of the odd rumble of thunder. showers towards the south—west of england and all that showery rain will drift eastwards. anywhere south of around holes towards preston, outbreaks of showers. further north, clearskies

through the day. temperatures about 6- through the day. temperatures about 6— eight degrees in the north. eventually, we lose the rain from eastern england and this evening, tonight, temperatures drop like a stone. clear skies and northerly breeze. for many of us, temperatures will be sub zero first thing tuesday morning. 0ne will be sub zero first thing tuesday morning. one of two degrees above freezing in towns and cities but also some snow and ice across central scotland. this is what many of us will see tomorrow morning. cold and frosty. still one or two wintry flurries over the scottish mountains, mostly dry elsewhere. light winds, much brighter especially in the south after the weekend. more cloud and rain working into the south—west. temperatures milder but the most of us, 5— nine degrees. cold but sunnier than

recently. the rain in the south—west goes further north and east on tuesday. wednesday morning, soggy to much of england and wales and northern ireland. scotland, cold and clear. some of that rain could turn to snow over the northern pennines, the southern upland before turning into rain again with milder air from the south. 12, 13 during the day on wednesday. looking towards the end of the week, low pressure very much in charge which will bring us more showers through thursday and overnight into friday but the main thing to the weather on friday will be the strength of the wind which could be jailed force. low pressure in charge. things fairly mild for the end of the week but unsettled. 0utbreaks the end of the week but unsettled. outbreaks of rain thursday and friday but better weather by saturday. we regularly talk

about the high street. what about the people who work in those stores? it's the people who work in those stores? it‘s a huge employer. the biggest of all the employers. we talk about some of the big names which have gone under. part of this is because they are all suffering from rising costs. and less of us going through the door. we‘ve switched to shopping online. 17% of sales are online, five years ago, it wasjust 17% of sales are online, five years ago, it was just 2%. as you say, it isa ago, it was just 2%. as you say, it is a big employer. we‘ve done some number crunching that show that 20,000 jobs have been lost from major high street names since the start of the year. another 20,000 are under threat. official figures for the whole of the sector put the number even higher, some 85,000 across the whole of the sector in the first half of the year. that is a hugejump.

so what‘s happened to all those shop workers? we were talking to a professor of economics at lancaster university earlier anti— looked into the statistics, and he said that only one in three people who lose their job in retail actually go back into the industry. they are going into other things. they are moving, they are getting newjobs. john is one of them. i am john, are getting newjobs. john is one of them. iam john, i've are getting newjobs. john is one of them. i am john, i've worked in retail for a2 years and made redundant five times, most recently this year. the 31st, here we go again. it wasn‘t foreseen. it came com pletely again. it wasn‘t foreseen. it came completely out of the blue. i just learned to take a step back. i couldn‘t affect it, find myself a

newjob and dusted myself off and carry on. i am still working in retail because someone once likened me to stick at blackpool rock. if they cut my arm off, it would say retail all the way through. with clients, you can make them smile. you can‘t make the choice to them, you just have to help them along and then they make the right choice, you have a customer for life. then they make the right choice, you have a customerfor life. i personally disagree with online retail because it‘s going to drive bricks and mortar retail into the ground. ithink bricks and mortar retail into the ground. i think there is a place for both. if you are made redundant, don‘t panic, take a step back, find the company want to work for. there are plenty ofjobs out there. if you have to take a lower position, take one. if i can do it, anybody can do it. that is wise advice. what about the future? there are a lot of structural issues

going on which means this year has been a crunch point but the british retail consortium who has a good overview say they think there are going to be 900,000 fewerjobs in retail by 2025 so the squeeze will continue but they said the jobs remaining will be better paid, better roles and perhaps roles which don‘t exist because something like 100,000 people are employed injobs whichjust 100,000 people are employed injobs which just weren‘t around five years ago like social media manager, for example, so different types ofjobs but it‘s difficult to look into the future with a crystal ball gaze. working out if they will exist but professorjohns did say to us there isa professorjohns did say to us there is a hollowing out of the retail industry, there will be low skilled jobs, high end jobs but the majority in the middle there will be a squeeze. in the middle there will be a squeeze. interesting analysis. plastic, it‘s got us all talking this year.

in fact, single—use was collins dictionary‘s word of the year. many credit the bbc‘s blue planet 2 series for the increased awareness, but how much of the stuff is going to be coming into our homes over the festive period? tim muffett is in alnwick for us this morning, where he‘s hoping to find out. you are with, or going to be with a family who is putting their plastic use to the test. that‘s right, good morning from alnwick in northumberland and this is the bbc breakfast bin and a very kind family have agreed to take part in an experiment. simon, explained. we are going to be saving all our plastics and putting it all end here for the month of december to see much how we get through to have a visual representation. heather, why?

we are trying hard to cut back on plastic and i think we are taking baby plastic and i think we are taking ba by ste ps plastic and i think we are taking baby steps to cut back but there is so baby steps to cut back but there is so much that is unavoidable so it is interesting and eye opening to see at all there and use that information to move forward and try and cut back even more. even though you try and cut down as a family, some of it is unavoidable, especially at christmas. completely, with presents and packaging. you cannot get away from it. we are going to try. let‘s have a look. so far, december, three days, this much in there. goodness knows how much by the end of december. there are interesting. we are talking more about this later. first, the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m sonja jessup. the mayor sadiq khan has warned the number of met police officers will drop to its lowest level since 2002 unless hundreds of millions of pounds in new funding can be secured. city hall claims as things stand, scotland yard is required to make a further £335 million worth

and create opportunities for that local girl that plays in her primary school and loves the game, that pathway may not be that clear about how do you go to the next steps and, as you know, in london, a mile can feel like miles away. you‘ve got to do things nearby and close and accessible and itjust seemed like a no—brainer that we had to put something in the capital. time for a look at the travel now. and on the tube— the metropolitan line has no service between chalfont and latimer to chesham after a signalfailure — that‘s also causing problems for chiltern railways. 0n the roads there‘s been an accident on the north circular— that‘s westbound at the cooks ferry flyover— the outside lane is closed. the queues stretch from redbridge and the m11 is slow southbound from the m25. and in hillingdon — the high street in harlington is closed northbound from the aa at harlington corner— a gas leak‘s being fixed. let‘s take a look at the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it‘s a dry, bright start to the new working week. we have some early sunshine around and it‘s mild out there too. temperatures for most places in double figures.

it will stay mild all day but there is wet weather in the forecast, showers blowing in from the west as we head through the late morning into the afternoon so here we go then. cloud thickening all the while through the morning and the showers will start to move through quite quickly really. a fairly brisk westerly wind, lots of cloud around for the second half of the day, perhaps some brighter spells here and there, top temperatures between 12 and 1a celsius. once again, it will feel mild. but it will turn colder. 0ur westerly wind become more north—westerly and it will introduce cooler air so clear skies overnight and a touch of frost forming too with temperatures dropping to around the freezing mark, possibly just above. a few early mist patches as well with those light winds but tomorrow, dry and fine, plenty of early sunshine around, feeling cooler, temperatures in single figures and clouding over by the end of the day. unsettled for the rest of the week. that‘s it for now. more from me in around half an hour. back to naga and dan. good morning welcome

to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: the battle over theresa may‘s legal advice on brexit — labour warns of a constitutional crisis if it isn‘t published in full, the government says the details must remain confidential. the government‘s chief lawyer will explain his thinking here at the house of commons later, but could he be forced to reveal more than he wants? a big fall in the money spent on care for the over 65s — we begin special series on the challenge of looking after the most vulnerable people in society. the human cost of the crisis on the high street. at least a0,000 jobs have been affected by the turmoil in retail this year, with thousands of redundancies and many more roles still under threat. a dramatic day of derbies in the premier league... liverpool manager, jurgen klopp, apologises for his celebration after their late, late winner over everton at anfield. lost and found — the engagement ring dropped in new york and the british couple

who thought they‘d never see it again. it isa it is a cold start to the day across many northern parts of the uk. mild in the south with a bit of rain later on. i will have the about 15 minutes. it‘s monday the 3rd of december. our top story. the government‘s chief legal adviser, the attorney general, will publish a shortened version of his guidance on theresa may‘s brexit withdrawal agreement today, but mps of all parties are demanding to see the document in full. some of them believe it contains a suggestion that the uk could end up in an indefinite customs union with the eu — and the government is trying to hide it. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. how serious is this for the pm? the cabinet and senior members of

the government have seen this advice from geoffrey cox, the attorney general. plenty within parliament said they should see it so they can make a decision on week tomorrow in this vote in full possession of all of the facts. the argument the government makes is that has to be confidentiality between a lawyer and a client and if lawyers are going to be full and frank and trusting in their advice and saying everything in an unvarnished way, they will have to say it will not get splashed over news bulletins and newspapers every time. they are sending jeremy cox to face questions here today. but a lot of questions saying this isa but a lot of questions saying this is a massive decision, you guys have seen is a massive decision, you guys have seen this stuff so we should see it as well. it is the start of a whopping week again for the prime minister? indeed. no monday morning should start without this, with a

look at the brexit diary. we have geoffrey cox and his legal advice, at least some of it being talked about in parliament today. tomorrow we see the start of these big few days of debate around the prime minister‘s brexit deal. at the weekend we can tell you one thing, declan and holly will be talking about all things final in the jungle and maybe there will be a debate involving jeremy corbyn and the prime minister, but we don‘t know if it will happen because there is a debate about the debate, about which channel it will be on, about the form it will take and whether somebody will be there to advocate another referendum or a clean brexit. it is not quite nailed down yet. jungle, yes. debate, maybe. and then the crucial vote. as things stand the likelihood of the prime minister winning the vote is up there with me winning the next

world‘s strongest man contest. take a look at me and come to your own conclusion. small in stature but big in hearts, mrmason? conclusion. small in stature but big in hearts, mr mason?” conclusion. small in stature but big in hearts, mr mason? i will take that. there you go. easy. the amount of money councils spent on care for the elderly in england, scotland and wales has fallen in the last eight years, according to figures analysed by the bbc. the biggest drop was in england, where the amount councils say they spent plummmeted by nearly a quarter. wales and scotland have largely protected their budgets. in wales it fell by 8%. and scotland the cut was just 7%. there are no comparable figures for northern ireland. the government says the figures don‘t take into account the money the nhs in england puts into the care system. here‘s our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. want a cup of tea? no? what about a glass of bitter lemon? this is a day when 89—year—old dottie harmon simply doesn‘t want to get out of bed.

she has alzheimer‘s and needs constant care. it means her daughter sam has seen first—hand the pressures on the care system that today‘s analysis of spending reveals. mum is dancing in my garden to a song called happy. the contrast shows what life is to be like. but when they needed help, it was hard to get. her mother spent three months in a hospital ward before they found a bed in local authority funded home. there is lots of expensive places for people to go. if you don‘t have £5,000 a month, well, between a000 and £5,000 a month, then you have to wait for a local authority bed. it is crucial that as families, we find somewhere that is spot—on. because it is really tough? yeah.

the bbc‘s analysis shows council spending on care for each person aged 65 and over has fallen in the last eight years, with the biggest drop in england. here at age uk portsmouth, they have said that has meant the loss of many early health services. i think in the long run it is costing us more because people are reaching that crisis point which possibly could have been prevented, and then they perhaps need more support, more help. councils say cuts to their funding have meant they have had to make difficult choices. the government maintains it has put more than £3.6 billion extra into care this year, and that it will publish plans for its long—term funding soon. alison holt, bbc news, portsmouth. tomorrow we‘ll be looking at social care in scotland, where spending is higher than in england and wales, and asking if it is enough. if you want to find out how much is spent on care for over 65s in your area, we‘ve created a new online tool that

you can find on the bbc website. police are searching for a british woman who disappeared from outside a bar in tenerife in the early hours of friday morning. 28—year—old amy louise gerard, had been working as an animal trainer at a tenerife marine park. she was last seen outside an irish bar in puerto de la cruz in the north of the island. the foreign office says it is assisting her family. the head of mi6, alex younger, will warn russia "not to underestimate our capabilities" in a rare speech today. he‘ll describe how the intelligence service exposed those behind the novichok poisoning in salisbury, when a former russian spy and his daughter were targeted, and a british woman died. mr younger will address students at st andrew‘s university. a major international climate conference begins in poland later — with senior un officials warning the threat to humanity from global warming has never been greater.

political leaders from around the world will be there and sir david attenborough will make a speech on behalf of the public. let‘s get more information about the summit from our science correspondent matt mcgrath. good to see you, it is busy behind you but many people will be wondering what difference will this make? considering where it is, poland is a controversial venue? absolutely. it is filling up here at the moment. notjust david attenborough who is speaking, but a0 heads of government and state from around the world. they are here to lend their support to the negotiators who will be in this polish city for the next two weeks trying to advance the paris rule book, a technical document putting the paris climate agreement into practice. it is a different challenge, highly technical but the leaders are here to reinforce the message from science and the message from ordinary people around the world, to say climate change is happening, it is real, and missions are going up and deadly serious

about tackling this problem this century, we need to act soon. the scientists are saying we need to cut emissions in about, in the next 12 yea rs by emissions in about, in the next 12 years by about half, otherwise we are in serious trouble. that is the message today and negotiators will put into practice, the helpful message they will get from sir david attenborough and others today. thank you very much. police in new york have managed to track down a british couple who got engaged in the city on friday, and dropped the ring down a grate in times square. cctv images showed daniella anthony and john drennan unsuccessfully trying to retrieve the piece of jewellery. however, police officers later managed to rescue the ring and even cleaned it for them. the nypd then tweeted last night that arrangements were being made to return the ring to the pair. i wonder if lots of people can

remember their proposals? romantic times. yes, romantic. iam trying remember their proposals? romantic times. yes, romantic. i am trying to remember mine. 0nly joking, times. yes, romantic. i am trying to remember mine. 0nlyjoking, it was a long time ago, in the park. mine was also in the park. today marks the start of another "crunch week" for mrs may‘s brexit plans. today she will face a row over what legal advice she received on her eu withdrawal agreement, then there‘s a five—day commons debate, and let‘s not forget sunday‘s head—to—head debate with labour‘sjeremy corbyn. that has not been confirmed just yet. so how will it pan out for mrs may? two men in the knowjoin us now, political journalists — kevin maguire and andrew pierce. let‘s start with the attorney general today. kevin, is let‘s start with the attorney generaltoday. kevin, is it let‘s start with the attorney general today. kevin, is it a question, how much we feel we need to know and whether we need to respect client confidentiality? what does theresa may had to hide by not

publishing it? it isn‘tjust any decision, it is brexit. momentous decision, it is brexit. momentous decision for the entire country. go back to 2003 and a rack and tony blair wouldn‘t publish legal advice burn. the reason was the attorney general had changed his decision and there was something to hide. if she has nothing to hide, she will publish it. andreu? what will happen is, if they don't agree, they will be dragged to the bar of the house, forced to do it and it could leak. some politicians have seen the entire legal opinion. the other difficulty is this, in 2007 a certain opposition politician theresa may wrote to gordon brown and sad, published the legal advice over the iraq war. and sad, published the legal advice overthe iraq war. it and sad, published the legal advice over the iraq war. it could look like double standards for the prime minister. could look like? it is! the other thing is, minister. could look like? it is! the otherthing is, if minister. could look like? it is! the other thing is, if you look at

the front page of the daily telegraph, head chief brexit sherpa, 0llie robbins doesn't like this backstop, which he suggests we may never be able to leave. that is why mps want to see the legal advice. so much for the sovereignty of parliament and taking back control. mps parliament and taking back control. m ps vote parliament and taking back control. mps vote to see the full legal advice and in downing street, i am not going to show you. theresa may, you cannot get away with that. chris mason was saying, he had more chance of winning the world‘s strongest man band theresa may did of getting this deal through parliament next week. and much of an uphill struggle is going to be? he has a better chance of being the world's strongest man than him and me, and we have just had a cooked breakfast, which i had to pay for. she is not going to get this through in any way shape or form. downing street will be working out about the scale of the defeat.

if they can keep it in a low level of numbers. but when you have people like joe johnson on one side and bill cash on the other side, it will be very difficult. i think she will be very difficult. i think she will be back very quickly with a second proposal, maybe plan b, which will have much more chance. but this plan, i cannot see she will win this vote. kevin? can you imagine mps having a second vote but not one for the people. here we go. it is impossible to see how she will win a week tomorrow, not least because people like the universities minister, people are resigning still. she should be getting their support. chris mason, down the gym, could be a fantastic breakfast series. i think theresa may looks incredibly feeble. why does he call ita incredibly feeble. why does he call it a vote for the people, it is a

second referendum because people like him and he is to accept that people have spoken, 17.4 million. there is no great clamour for a second referendum, not least with jeremy corbyn. people, extremists won the last one with lies, fibs and porkies. do you argue like this over your cooked breakfast, or are you best friends over breakfast? no, we did not speak. the only time he spoke was when he said, will you get the bill. the sausage made more sense than him. about this tv debate, i see you laughing already, might take place this sunday and could be a clash with aoyama celebrity... who should be involved in that debate, kevin and where will it take place? i think if a tv debate cannot be organised, what is the chance of a decent brexit. i

understand the argument from people who want a hard brexit and those who one another referendum and remain supporters want to be involved. let‘s get theresa may and jeremy corbyn sorted out and have an undercard, lots corbyn sorted out and have an underca rd, lots of corbyn sorted out and have an undercard, lots of other programmes where people want to listen on tv, radio and online. i am all for these debates but it is pretty pitiful. downing street have proposed the debate and they want it exactly on their terms. that is in how it works. you have to negotiate on the format, which channel and who will do the questioning. you cannot have dictatorship from number ten. downing st proposed the debate, not the labour party. jeremy corbyn changes his mind on brexit every other week. what is wrong with having it on the national broadcaster? what is jeremy having it on the national broadcaster? what isjeremy corbyn frightened of? theresa may chickened out at the last election. this is a

referendum not the last election.” would demand you have do have a commitment from the conservatives. there will always be tv debates at an election. you know your lot want it on their terms because she is desperate. as i said, theresa may proposed it and jeremy corbyn is trailing in herwake proposed it and jeremy corbyn is trailing in her wake on this one. it should happen. even though we have five days of debate in the commons. it isa five days of debate in the commons. it is a very long bus —— bush tucker trial. i think you need a second brea kfast, trial. i think you need a second breakfast, the pair of you. that is a debate many people are having watching this week. it is one of those crucial weeks where there are so those crucial weeks where there are so many big decisions to be made, so many big topics to be discussed and whether this debate will take place on sunday, who knows and where. theresa may has said she is open to a television debate on the bbc.

jeremy corbyn has indicated he would prefer it to be on itv. there is no agreement yet as to whether it will ta ke agreement yet as to whether it will take place on sunday. vince cable said earlier, about the second referendum, he said what is the question going to be? so much to talk about, chris mason will keep it up—to—date. shall we get some clarity on the weather. sarah, i was looking at this picture, has it been filtered out, looks like the clouds have been superimposed, it looks beautiful, not sure it is real. this is from one of our regular viewers. we have blue skies, beautiful sunrise. not everywhere in the country is this scenic pursing this morning. showers across western pa rt this morning. showers across western part of england and wales. a risk of icy stretches in scotland where we have had temperatures overnight

falling below freezing after yesterday‘s wet weather. this is how things are looking. rain across wales on the south—west of england. a few heavy bursts and the odd rumble of thunder. that backtracks eastwards a cross rumble of thunder. that backtracks eastwards across england and wales. anywhere between york and blackpool looks dry and clear. northern ireland and scotland clear to the day. 12 wintry flurries over the mountains of scotland. 8 degrees with the northerly breeze but further south 11 to 14 celsius. the cloud and showers clear away from eastern england as we move on overnight. clear skies and tonight will be the coldest night of the week. temperatures for many below freezing first thing tomorrow. just above freezing for many towns and cities in the south but for many, you will be waking up to a sharp frost. pictures like this first thing on tuesday morning. chilly start to the morning and an icy stretch across scotland. 0ne

start to the morning and an icy stretch across scotland. one or two snow flurries over the mountains. but tuesday looks a better day than we have seen recently. more sunshine, especially in the south and the northern half of the uk dry and the northern half of the uk dry and bright. temperatures colder, five to nine celsius. the arrival of more cloud and outbreaks of rain. it doesn‘t last long, the clear whether on tuesday. 0vernight doesn‘t last long, the clear whether on tuesday. overnight in the red and state, low pressure will move in across the south—west with rain pushing into the south—west and wales during the early hours of wednesday. as the rain meet the colder air over the mountains it could turn to snow over the north pennines and the southern uplands before it turns back to ring with milderair before it turns back to ring with milder air working in from the south. temperature 12 degrees in the south, chilly across northern scotla nd south, chilly across northern scotland on wednesday. 0n south, chilly across northern scotland on wednesday. on thursday and into friday the unsettled pain continues. low pressure moving in from the atlantic. isobars bopping around the low pressure on friday. it will be a wet and windy end to

the week. friday could see some n‘gales, showers around and through thursday and friday. but at the moment it looks like the weather should turn drier and brighterfor saturday. why are you saying at the moment? always a caveat with you. she is trying to cover all bases. covering her back! see you later. news that the us and china have come to some sort of an agreement over a trade dispute is having a positive impact on the markets. victoria has more. good morning. that‘s right. this has been an issue that‘s been worrying investors and business owners for quite a while. the us president donald trump and his chinese counterpart have been punishing each others countries by placing big taxes on the goods that they sell eachother. over the weekend the pair agreed to a 90—day truce. european stock markets opened a few minutes ago.

the value of shares has soared from syd ney to the value of shares has soared from sydney to shanghai. i will have more on twitter if you follow me. bbc figures show a pretty dismal picture opening up across retail. at least 40,000 britishjobs have been caught up 40,000 britishjobs have been caught up in the turmoil on the high street this year. 20 south is —— 20,000 jobs have been lost from companies selling toys to tech. in the last hour, as if we needed any more proof, the newsagent firm mccolls hasissued proof, the newsagent firm mccolls has issued a profit warning. the colla pse has issued a profit warning. the collapse of one of its suppliers and secondly the overall fall in the amount we are spending in the shop.

not great news for retailers and the people who work for them running up to the busy christmas period. when michelle 0bama visited a london school back in 2009 to talk about education, her speech had a lasting impact on the pupils. the former first lady returns to the city tonight to speak at an event in front of almost 3,000 people. among the guests will be some pupils from a south london girls school. what is the enduring appeal about michelle 0bama ? what is the enduring appeal about michelle obama? anecdotally, within my own circles, people were staying up my own circles, people were staying up all night and some camping outside the south bank centre hoping to get a ticket. i described it as hype and frenzy but i am one of the people who both loves michelle 0bama, but find myself questioning,

what is it about heard that makes us suspend our critical faculties and flock to her. i think there is something in reading her book. it is about the way she is very ordinary. she hasn‘t had the most remarkable life or normal childhood. she became a lawyer, met and fell in love with a lawyer, met and fell in love with a man. she has motive and drives, principles and hopes for a better society. yet she is an mother and her book is full of details about the struggles of looking after your children and providing them with normality while your husband is the aat h normality while your husband is the 44th president of the united states. it is that ordinarily nests we relate to as women. she always seems so relate to as women. she always seems so honest and authentic. i got —— she got through two terms in the white house with no scandal drama

and that is incredibly inspiring for women. do you think she might run for office herself? some people feel passionately about her ability to speakfor passionately about her ability to speak for many people, particularly women but others as well. that is a rarity in politics and maybe something she could use in future life? i felt her book quite funny and this regard. it is political, it is clear where she stands on how invested she is in seeing progress in society, clearly identifies as a black woman and the struggle for racial equality has been a big part of her consciousness. she says at the end, i have no plans to run for office. it isn‘t enough to convince me the political aspiration and experience she has will never be put to use. she is troubled by events in sheep and her husband left the white house. i personally think that door is still definitely open. you talk about the fact she glories in the ordinary nature of her life. she

talks quite openly in double about struggles of holding the family together and counselling and things like that. she tries to portray her marriage is normal, yet she was married to the most powerful man in the world, making huge decisions that impacted on millions of people? that was the important piece to the puzzle. i have read barack 0bama‘s two books. he charts hisjourney into the senate at that point. it is from his perspective being in the senate, following this campaigning strategy and the things he is working for. there is this big gap about what is going on at home and how does being that person affect your relationship. she has filled in a lot of the blanks talking about the loneliness of being at home with the loneliness of being at home with the girls a lot and resenting him for not being there when she felt she needed him and them having counselling to try and heal the rifts that are merged. that is something so many people relate to.

it is hard and it is not perfect and from the outside they seemed this perfect family but at the same time it didn‘t feel like a deception. now it didn‘t feel like a deception. now it feels it works for her to reveal what was going on. it makes sense but it is reassuring that somebody like her has gone through what eve ryo ne like her has gone through what everyone does but also been able to come through it. she offers hope ultimately and this isn‘t to say their record in the white house has been perfect. many of the people i know who love her so much our critical of barack know who love her so much our critical of ba rack 0bama‘s presidency. they had so many expectations of what they could achieve, he didn‘t do a lot of things. i think some of those expectations were completely unrealistic but it is right to be critical about that. the legacy of his time in office is his successor. but at the same time michelle 0bama is someone who makes people feel good and inspired unhelpful. be interesting to see how that goes. you are going to be one of the

fortu nate you are going to be one of the fortunate 2700 people who are there. but many are disappointed not to be inside. it is now time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a few showers across the far south of england but across northern parts of england but across northern parts of england but across northern parts of england and scotland and northern ireland, it is quite chilly this morning but there will be plenty of sunshine as we go into this afternoon just just a few showers which could turn wintry over higher ground. that cloud and rain will continue to move away as we go through this evening, some showers moving through northern ireland and into the west of scotland just actually with the clear spells it will be turning quite chilly into tuesday morning. a bit of a cold and frosty start on tuesday, plenty of clear spells, lots of sunshine in the morning. the cloud will gradually increase from the

south—west, making the sunshine hazy across a good portion of england and wales. eventually the racal moves into the far south—west as well just the best of the sunshine the further north and east you go. temperatures will be down a little bit. that rain across the south—west is associated with this weather system which will be moving northwards and eastwards during wednesday. quite a wet day. the far north staying mostly dry with some sunshine. the rain gradually edges further eastwards. there could be a bit of snow on the pennines, southern uplands. always chillier in the far north. this is business live from bbc news with ben bland and sally bundock. putting the brakes on the tariffs. president trump says china is cutting taxes on american cars
