good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today: theresa may prepares to make the case for her brexit deal to parliament — on opening of five crucial days of debate. what does the brexit debate look like 400 miles away from westminster? i am like 400 miles away from westminster? iam here like 400 miles away from westminster? i am here in stirling to find out how people you are following developments. a scathing report on the rail industry's roll—out of new timetables in may. mps say transport secretary chris grayling should have done more to prevent the chaos. the body of former us president george hw bush arrives in washington to lie in state on capitol hill. the ballon d'or was awarded last night, luka modric one. good morning. they called a start to the day with a widespread frost.

patchy mist and fog. write with a few showers before rain arrives in the south—west later. —— brighter. i will have more in a few minutes. it's tuesday, the 4th of december. just after six a.m.. welcome to the programme. our top story: theresa may will make the case for her brexit withdrawal deal to parliament later, opening a five—day debate on the issue. but first the government is facing potential embarrassment if it's found to have broken the rules by not publishing its brexit legal advice. our political correspondent iain watson has more. theresa may has been touring the country and tv studios trying to sell the brexit deal, but today she will face the most demanding audience of all — her fellow politicians. butjust before she begins five days of debate on the deal, mps will discuss whether ministers are in contempt for failing to publish the legal advice which parliament demanded last month. last night, the commons speaker granted an emergency debate,

to be held around lunchtime today. i have considered the matter carefully, and i am satisfied that there is an arguable case that contempt has been committed. if theresa may is defeated and government ministers are found in contempt, this is likely to be seen more as a distraction than a disaster. a committee of mps would have to consider what action to take. the government's accusing opposition politicians of playing politics. i think it's a complete diversion from what the public are expecting to hear. we're going to have five days of important debate about the merits of brexit, the withdrawal agreement. let's get on with that and stop messing about with process. what is significant is that one of the opposition parties who want to see the legal advice is none other than northern ireland's dup, and their mps usually prop up prime minister's minority government, so this could be the shape of things to come. the really big vote isn't today, it's next week when mps decide whether to back the brexit deal. but today's debate may give a clue to the scale of opposition that the prime minister's likely to face. iain watson, bbc news.

we can now speak to our political correspondent nick eardley who's in westminster for us this morning. good morning to you. potentially, this is just an awkward and potentially embarrassing start to we beat a few days for the prime minister, isn't it? absolutely. opposition parties are still want to get that for legal advice published in the coming days before mps vote next tuesday on the deal. that is exactly what they will try to do today to force the government's and again. it does not look like the government wants to change its mind on this. we had the attorney general, the top law officer in england and wales, saying it would bea england and wales, saying it would be a breach of protocol, we don't normally do this, why would we do it

now? they don't want to seem to change their mind on it. the other parties are going to have to try to force their hand. what will the interesting will be not simply whether the government is found in contempt, but what the numbers are like in that vote later. because all the opposition parties in parliament are onside to try to get this legal advice published. it could be a sign of what next tuesday's vote will look like would be vup removing their support and getting behind the opposition to the government —— dup. thank you very much. the transport secretary, chris grayling, should take some responsibility for the chaos around the introduction of new rail timetables earlier this year, according to a report by mps. thousands of journeys were cancelled or severely delayed as the new schedule went live. the transport select committee says "genuine" change is now needed to restore trust in the railways, as our correspondent, tom burridge reports. the stories we reported back then... i have this dread every single morning because i know that the train‘s probably going to be late. ..haven‘t been totally resolved. throughout the autumn, services have again been reduced on northern rail, but the disruption in may and june on both northern and govia thameslink

was on another scale. today, mps on the transport select committee say chris grayling should have done more to mitigate the disruption. they acknowledge the transport secretary wasn't fully informed by rail bosses, but say he's responsible for the management structures which failed. the transport secretary, while we don't hold him responsible for this, we do not think he can absolve himself of any responsibility for what went wrong. the report says disabled passengers were, at the time, simply unable to travel by train. policies are needed to help them if things go wrong again. many passengers have received compensation, but the mps say a quicker, simpler system for claims is needed, and they believe fares on the parts of the network affected should be frozen and not rise by 3.1% in the new year. tom burridge, bbc news. more than 4,000 children in england with special educational needs and disabilities were not given the support they needed at school

last year, according to the ofsted chief inspector. the regulator's annual report, which is published today, describes the failure as a national scandal. the department for education says it's working to improve standards with a new inspection framework. navtej johal reports. that's nice. that is what i would wear. ten-year-old siena has been out of school for every year. she has autism and her mum jane said she was told by her school that it could not meet her needs. she said the system has let down. it is a model, i would actually say shambles, i have used that quite a few times. nobody seems to know what they are doing. it is easy for all these professionals making these decisions, they can go home at night and sleep, but we are left in limbo, thatis and sleep, but we are left in limbo, that is what it feels like, limbo. 0fsted's that is what it feels like, limbo. ofsted's annual report said that last year in england more than 4000 children like caddy maxi you know

with official health and care plan setting out their needs received no support at all, five times more than in 2010. it has described the situation as a scandal —— siena. it often said that children are often being excluded rather than seeing help. we are seeing patterns of increasing rates of exclusion for children with special needs. it looks as though, that it is becoming even more difficult for them to do well in mainstream school and to carry on route to life post—16. well in mainstream school and to carry on route to life post-16. the government says councils will receive almost £6 billion for special needs this academic year. a rise of 5 billion from 2013. but as this much by head teacher showed early this year, many schools are struggling to fund the huge increases in demand for support, a struggle which looks set to continue. navtej struggle which looks set to continue. navteonhal, bbc news. the search is continuing for a british woman who vanished

did. there is the argument about whether it should be equal, but being a member of a golf club and playing golf with a lot of male golfers, all of the men young and old, all age ranges say they much prefer in real life to watch women's golf because their swings are much more similar to amateur male swings. the other point she makes, is that golf is really expensive if you are a kid. is expected to start. there are a kid. is expected to start. there a re lots of a kid. is expected to start. there are lots of golf clubs who make changes and make it accessible. it still has that image that needs a bit of a change. great interview with her today. you want another one? mark hughes, sacked by southampton. daily express saying that he is basically missing his spark. what is next for him? perhaps china? they are suggesting that he won't get another big job in this

visit him at home. stroke left him paralysed down one side, and he gets help with a thin, dressing, the preparation of food. they get used to you coming in and you get to know each other. i have been coming here six years as well. really, for quite a while. for much of the day, his ca re a while. for much of the day, his care falls to his wife mavis, but because he is over 65, the 2/2 hours or so of personal care he is assessed as needing by his local authority is provided for free. assessed as needing by his local authority is provided for freem makes a huge difference, honestly. i don't know what we would do without this care. to me, they are like angels, he is getting emotional about it, that is what it is. he knows how lucky we are to have them all. free personal care was introduced in scotland to try and encourage people like archie to stay and receive care in their own homes as long as possible. more than 45,000 people here are now assessed

as being eligible, an increase of 8% over the last decade. it now cost nearly £380 million annually. the policy is well liked, but some say it could work better. people would like it to extend further into mopping and shopping type services and there are complaints that people may wait for the assessment of the service or the delivery of the service or the delivery of the service and we estimate that it you introduced the scottish system into england, for example, it would cost about an extra £7 billion by 2021. footballer frank cocktail died after early onset dementia weeks after turning 65. his wife successfully campaigned to that reap personal ca re campaigned to that reap personal care would be available to all, regardless of age. she is still pushing to make sure that the thousands of younger people who would be eligible from april would benefit not just in would be eligible from april would benefit notjust in principle, but also in prep this copy he said, tell

them it is too late for me but it will help others in the future. help people like jeff adamson, paralysed at all the one. he welcomes rank‘s law but worries it will not be fully funded. it makes me very angry for myself, but for other people. i have no idea how it is currently in fermented and i am concerned that i won't see any benefit whatsoever when this policy is introduced. free personal care in scotland is provided as a legal right. the challenge is to ensure this popular policy remains durable when it comes to cost and works as intended. lorna gordon, bbc news. the scottish government says: "we have been clear that this extension of free personal care is to be fully implemented on april first 2019, and we have brought the necessary legislative steps before the scottish parliament for this to happen." we'll have more on care series tomorrow and 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 news website. i would be interested in that. if anybody uses that tool, let us and tell us if it surprised you. i think a lot of people won't have an idea at the moment. it is definitely something people think i need to think about in future. that is why it isa think about in future. that is why it is a good thing to investigate if you know some body in that situation. the bbc breakfast brexit tour continues today and victoria is in stirling asking if leaving the eu could re—open the debate for scottish independence. there is so much going on, so many thoughts around this at the moment. especially as we begin the spy days of debate in parliament. a long way from that victoria, good morning to you. high. about 400 miles from that debate in westminster. will come to scotland. the heart of scotland.

stirling has been long held as an area of strategic importance for scotland, the scene of famous battles a nd scotland, the scene of famous battles and wins over the english. out of this latest battle over brexit really shake down and where does this leave the longer running fight for independence? in 2017, nicola sturgeon came to this copy shall appear to drum nicola sturgeon came to this copy shallappearto drum up nicola sturgeon came to this copy shall appear to drum up support for the snp. well, it didn't work because stirling voted in its first conservative mp for 20 years. he is a brexiteer and a supporter of theresa may. so where does this leave a city where two in three people voted to remain? and the mp who wants to leave under theresa may's terms. i will have the answers to those questions hopefully over the course of the morning. first, the course of the morning. first, the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. london councils are warning of another year of austerity

and cuts ahead of the government revealing what they can spend later this week. labour councillors say vital services are at risk and they're making an appeal for more money. in camden, the council faces cuts of £23 million next year which could affect nursery places and transport services. this has to stop. austerity has not ended, in fact it is getting worse. what you are cutting when you cut local governments, cutting local services, give services, amazing facilities like this and we have to have a real conversation about how we fund these local services because we fund these local services because we cannot go on as we are. a plan for the uk's largest ever lung cancer screening project is being launched today in the capital. the study aims to detect lung cancer early amongst at risk londoners and help to develp a new blood test. it's hoped 50,000 people aged between fifty and seventy seven can be recruited for the uclh study. at the moment — in england, people are offered screening for breast, bowel and cervical cancer, but not lung cancer. there's been an increase in the number of serious

accidents caused by drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the capital this year. the met police is warning motorists of the dangers as it launches its annual campaign. throughout december traffic officers will be checking for motorists who are driving under the influence of drink and/or drugs. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the district landf hammersmith and city lines. the piccadilly line is part suspended. turning to the roads. in wembley, the north circular is down to one lane southbound just before ikea at brentfield road following a house fire. there are queues on the approach. in wimbledon — haydons road is partially closed. north road is also closed that's for the ongoing investigations after a man was shot by the police yesterday. in acton, twyford road is closed because of a hole in the road. now, the weather. good morning. it was a cold night

last night, especially compared to the last few mild ones. temperature is low enough for a little bit of frost out there, but it is a sunny start. cloud however, will increase as we head to get a. there is a bit of high clapped out there, so the sunshine perhaps from time to time a little bit hazy this morning, but it will be through the afternoon that thicker cloud arise from the west topic a cold day, colder than it has been. six or seven degrees cooler than yesterday. 7— ninth of this the maximum temperature. the wind is light at least to the day. overnight tonight, still rather cloudy, we will see thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain arriving to the second part of rain arriving to the second part of the night on the early hours of tomorrow morning through to wednesday itself. the minimum literature is going to be a little milder than last night, between four and six celsius. a rather damp, murky start tomorrow morning. further outbreaks of rain but mild to at least for the next couple of

days. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. good morning. it is 6:32 a.m.. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning, a new report reveals that 4000 children with special educational needs received no support last year. we're asking england's chief inspector of schools what needs to be done? thousands of people reacted to this photo of former president george bush's service dog, sully, beside his coffin. we're finding out what makes assistance dogs like this so special. and as former first lady michelle obama revisits the london school she's had a decade—long relationship with, we're hearing from the pupils she has inspired. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. theresa may will make the case

for her brexit withdrawal deal to parliament later, opening a five—day debate on the issue. but first mps will vote on whether her ministers are in contempt of parliament for failing to provide full legal advice on the withdrawal agreement. the speakerjohn bercow said there was an "arguable case" that a contempt of parliament has been committed. i think it is a complete diversion from what the public are expecting to hear. we are going to have five days of important debate about the merits of brexit, the withdrawal agreement. let's get on with that and stop messing about with process. the transport secretary, chris grayling, should take some responsibility for the chaos around the introduction of new rail timetables earlier this year, according to a report by mps. mr grayling has apologised for the disruption faced by hundreds of thousands of passengers on northern and govia thameslink routes in may, but has said he was given reassurance by train company bosses only days before. the transport select committee says genuine change is now needed to restore trust in the railways. more than 4,000 children in england

with special educational needs and disabilities were not given the support they needed at school last year, according to the ofsted chief inspector. the regulator's annual report, which is published today, describes the failure as a national scandal. the department for education says it's working to improve standards with a new inspection framework. the family of a british woman who vanished from outside a bar in tenerife have arrived to help with the search for her. 28—year—old amy gerard, originally from cleethorpes, was last seen outside an irish bar called molly malone's in puerto de la cruz in the early hours of friday morning. spanish police have released a missing poster appealing for information about ms gerard. anti—government protesters in france have pulled out of a meeting today with their prime minister after allegedly receiving death threats from extremists. the group known as the "yellow vest" movement began demonstrating against fuel taxes last month

but the protests were hijacked by hardliners from the far right and left — and on saturday they led to serious violence in paris. now members of the group say they are being warned not to enter into negotiations with the government. the body of president george bush senior is lying in state in washington. it follows a ceremony attended by the bush family and senior political figures including president trump. there'll be a state funeral for mr bush on wednesday before he's buried in texas on thursday. drones and unmanned vehicles are being included in the biggest exercise of military robots in british history. it's currently under way on salisbury plain. guns on robots are also being tested by the british army for the first time as part of the exercise examining ways to automate warfare. i think that would be a scary place to be well those tests are happening. it is interesting to watch though. if you think it's still too early to have your christmas decorations up, you might want to look away now.

this is impressive. a couple in leicester have covered their home in festive lights, as part of a tradition that's been going on for more than 30 years. i don't know what you think about this, is it too much or is lovely? fred and eileen toone, who are 91 and 86, say they save money from their pension each year to put on the display for their elderly neighbours. what they are doing is so lovely.|j feel like some people this morning would scoff. others would think it would scoff. others would think it would should be closer to christmas. have all the big lights and everything... we are in december. one thing! everything... we are in december. one thing i forgot to mention earlier, there is a seven—year—old kid we don't know his real name, but he isa kid we don't know his real name, but he is a webstar and his youtube handle is ryan toys review. he

earned per year. he has more than 17 million followers on youtube. yesterday one of his videos was watched by 40,000 people in a few hours. essentially, people are desperate for him to be advertised on his channel. he earns a staggering amount of dosh. he also has a range of toys in walmart at the moment. when he grows up he wa nts to the moment. when he grows up he wants to be a web developer? he has his own range of toys as well.|j will see weightage of him later on. good on him. —— picture of him.|j thought you could not have a youtube account until he is o'bree certain age. his parents run it for him. clearly, yes —— until you are over sydney age. i don't know whether i am coming or going. we

have got a really great story about the winner of the first ever women's ballon d'or, there she is, ada hegerberg plays for leon, plays for norway. but there is but. i don't wa nt norway. but there is but. i don't want to talk about it, it is all over social media this morning, so i am going to. she said it was the biggest moment of her life and historical after winning the women's first ballon d'or. but there was controversy when the host martin solveig — a famous dj — asked her if she could twerk. he came to me after and he was really, really sad that it went that way. i didn't think about it in that moment. i did not consider it as a sexual harassment or anything. it was just happy to get a dance and celebrate winning the ballon d'or to

be honest. you have to agree with that. this is a fantastic moment in her career. that is what we should be focusing on. that is what she did in that interview. but her reaction... her reaction was fabulous. the reaction of andy murray has been really good. this brought it to a lot of people's attention. he tweeted or posted, "why do women still have to put up with this nonsense, i will say, what questions today ask the mail winner? to everyone who think i am overreacting and it was just a joke, i have been involved in sport my whole life and the level of sexism is unreal." whole life and the level of sexism is unreal. " that whole life and the level of sexism is unreal." that is from andy murray. yeah. do you think, if we just ignored it... would we be better saying... the fact that eve ryo ne better saying... the fact that everyone is talking about...m better saying... the fact that everyone is talking about... it is stuff like this that has been ignored for years. if you don't call it out, now has learned a lesson, someone now it out, now has learned a lesson,

someone now has... i think he learned his lesson. and people watching haviland. these casual comments... and everything that she does —— have learnt. she is more famous now for being asked to tuerk than as a footballer. —— twerk. famous now for being asked to tuerk than as a footballer. -- twerk. you may not have noticed the reaction of the audience, there was a visible gasp. that was at the crassness of that question. they obviously all thought... that is good. it is out of step. he was completely out of step with the audience. what was good was the complete turn at the top in mail ballon d'or. cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi have won the ballon d'or between them for the last ten years but their monopoly has been broken by luka modric. he guided croatia to the world cup final and helped real madrid win a third successive champions league title. ronaldo was second and messi down in fifth — and modric was happy to have ended their domination. it isa

it is a victory of football tonight. iam happy it is a victory of football tonight. i am happy that i have the winner, but this award is for all the players as well that probably deserved to win that didn't. going from the ballon d'or to an absolute howler in the fa cup. guiseley were looking to upset fleetwood town but the guiseley keeperjoe green was badly caught out as they lost 2—1. not something he'll look back on with any fondness. fleetwood then are in the third round. and this was the moment that solihull moors found out they'd be at home to arsenal. that's sporting director mark fogarty — they have to beat blackpool first in a replay but what an incentive. the full draw is on the bbc sport website, of course. england will face the netherlands in the semi—final of the nations league nextjune. portugal are hosting the mini tournament — they'll face switzerland in the other tie. england's game will be played in guimares, where the stadium only holds 30,000, but manager gareth southgate says they will do everything they can to help make

sure fans can attend the game. we have the shortlist for the bbc sports personality‘s sporting moment of the year. shall we have a look? who could forget england's netballers winning gold at the commonwealth games in april? that was good. it was great. england's footballer‘s finally winning a penlty shoot out against colombia at the world cup. alastair cook making a century against india in his final test match. tiger woods's incredible win at the tour championship. not bothered? and a late addition — tyson fury dramtically rising back from what looked a certain knock out in the 12th round of his fight with deontay wilder. voting is now open, all the details you need are on the bbc sport webiste. another stupid sporting thing. what about harry kane ? another stupid sporting thing. what about harry kane? the shortlist has

not been announced. he is certain to be on there. he will feature. an interesting you to try to summarise. not this weekend but next weekend, december 16. they will be back on the sofa on the monday morning. post sports personality, i have no idea where a.m.. literally don't know what is going on. thank you. we will have the weather with carol in a moment. she stopped in a potential weather warnings. there is a rain but also sunshine. it is 17 minutes to seven. the family of a british woman who vanished from outside a bar in tenerife have arrived to help with the search for her. amy gerard was last seen in the early hours of friday morning. our reporter philip norton is live in puerto de la cruz for us this morning. when we hear of incidents like this, one can only feel for the family. i think her sister has said, please,

there was a huge appeal for any information, mainly over social media from her family. information, mainly over social media from herfamily. i had a walk around that area last night, around molly malone's bar, speaking to people, there are posters up on walls, speaking to people bear, they are aware of the search. word has got around. she says that her family, they say it is completely out of character. we know where british charity that supports families with missing people overseas says that amy became separated from her boyfriend. she has not been seen or heard from since. herfamily has not been seen or heard from since. her family and friends have mounted this social media appeal. it has been widely shared online. the missing posters have been shared online. the local police have created a missing person post. her sister yesterday tweeted to thank all the people who have so far shared this information. she said that "we don't have any new information, we are working closely with the local police who are doing

this system coming in from the south—west later on will introduce heavy rain. when we lose the mist and fog, there will be a lot the sunshine. any part of the uk, showers persisting in the north and west and showers at modest levels will be wintry in nature, the chao across the north—west and to the afternoon cloud will build, turning the sunshine hazy from the south—west, introducing rain across the isles of scilly and cornwall. with it comes mild conditions. ten and 11 in st helier, where we will still have a cold day as we travel further north. in some of the glens we could hang on to frost for much of the day. drew this evening and overnight, this whole band events as northwoods, cloud ahead of it and the rain comes in behind it. some hill fog around and under clear skies in the north, once again a bitterly cold night. you consider illustrated in the blue here. greens and yellows further south, meaning it would be as cold, mild for the time of year. in scotland it could

free —— could be freezing fog. wednesday to thursday, to weather fronts. this is the first one, this is the second and as they both moved north and east, in between it will brighten up for the time and it will follow snow across the north pennines, the southern uplands and eventually into the southern highland. drying up for northern ireland and eventually across the south—west. the notable thing about wednesday, the temperatures. elevens and 12 is, under the clearer skies further north it is going to be another cold day. as we move through thursday, you would the isobars, for some of us windy with exposure in the west, for most of us are breezy day with outbreaks of rain. his neck system day with outbreaks of rain. his neck syste m co m es day with outbreaks of rain. his neck system comes our way on friday. look at this hawk around the north—west. looking at rain sweeping us, also with some showers or some rain in the north following snow in the

hills and there will be particularly windy on friday with wind gust in the west as much as 70 mph. back to you. thank you, carol. cua to. -- see you later. this morning we're on the second stop of our bbc breakfast brexit tour. quite difficult to say. victoria is in stirling to ask if leaving the eu could re—open the debate for scottish independence. i think it would open many debates. morning, victoria. certainly would. good morning to you. we have travelled 400 miles or soa you. we have travelled 400 miles or so a away from westminster to find out what people in scotland think of how the brexit negotiations how —— have unfolded. we are at the centre of scotla nd have unfolded. we are at the centre of scotland in sterling, this city has held a strategic importance for scotla nd has held a strategic importance for scotland because whoever controlled the city, historically controlled the city, historically controlled the movement from north to south. the monument on the hill to william

wallace, that echoes the lingering question, the cool and the case for independent. independence looms quite literally over the city of sterling. more than two thirds of those who voted in a referendum backed remained. to an half years on, what do people here make of the negotiations to leave?|j don't make of the negotiations to leave?” don't think anyone two years ago realised at that that time what they are voting for an hour we all know what we are voting for. i think it isa what we are voting for. i think it is a difference between south of the border and the north of the border because quite simply, up here we voted to stay. we have always been european. i think it is very sad that countries, backstabbing the way they are. they need to move on with it. i do think we will ever get something that will please everybody. everybody will have their own personal thoughts of what they voted for and they certainly do not

wa nt voted for and they certainly do not want another referendum. honestly, it is tough and i don't see any better deal apart from what is being presented maybe next week.= better deal apart from what is being presented maybe next week. - half yea rs presented maybe next week. - half years ago i voted to leave on the idea that it would be, but a quick process , idea that it would be, but a quick process, but they process that would start going immediately. at this point, any deal is just a good start going immediately. at this point, any deal isjust a good deal as long is it is moving somewhere because it is frustrating things stuck in the same place the two yea rs. stuck in the same place the two years. —— being stuck. so could brexit really reopen those calls for a split with the rest of the uk for scotland ? calls for a split with the rest of the uk for scotland? nicola sturgeon came to this copy shop back in 2017 to try and drum up support for the snp during the local elections. well, it didn't work because stirling voted in their first conservative mp in 20 years during desert elections. he is a brexiteer

and also a supporter of theresa may's deal on the table, but does he have the support of his constituents? i am have the support of his constituents? iam here have the support of his constituents? i am here to meet a few of them. hello and good morning to david and alistair macdonald who run this copy shop, and dane who ru ns run this copy shop, and dane who runs a business locally. you voted to remain, what do you make of all this brexit chat? have your thoughts really changed since the referendum? it has been quite interesting people discussing the eu and what it moves “ means discussing the eu and what it moves —— means to people. i voted to remain but perhaps we should remain in the economic area rather than a full brexit. two thirds of the people in the city voted to remain. one of them who voted to leave is your brother. what you make of the negotiations? i think the process has been quite poor. we should look to build temperatures, rather than tear them down. i am more to build temperatures, rather than tearthem down. lam more in to build temperatures, rather than tear them down. i am more in favour of reform than actual radical change

to the system. you have been following all of these developments, i think you voted to remain. you export chocolate across the world. what do you make of the deal on the table at the moment? have the terms of the deal and the terms of the exit you round as a business owner? it hasn't really made any difference copy to me, that was predictable right from the start. it was never going to be possible, in my opinion, to please either the levers or the remainers. my position is exactly the same, i firmly believe that we should remain. what are you make of sterling having a conservative mp who said he will give his conditional support to theresa may's plan next week? i think it is all that would be possible. is all that anybody else can do, there is no other option. so for people in favour of leaving the eu, this is as good as it gets. where do you think all of this brexit debate really

leaves the bigger fight, all of this brexit debate really leaves the biggerfight, i suppose, the fight for independence that has long been at the heart of sterling and is almost a culture. people come here from all over the world because of william wallace and that fight for independence. yes, that is a really interesting one for me, because i think i am an instinctive bulong. i think the world is a very u nsta ble bulong. i think the world is a very unstable place, so i voted to remain within the united kingdom and i passionately believe that we need to stay within the european union as well. however, one thing that has caused me to think a little bit more carefully about that, is if we are dragged out of europe because, obviously, scotland predominately voted remain, then for the first time ever, i could see myself considering the possibility that i could vote for independence, provided it was independence within europe. that would probably be a

much more favourable option for me if we do we. really interesting. the first minister nicola sturgeon has refreshed her calls for independence on the case for independence has never been stronger. she is also saying that there should be another referendum on the terms of the brexit eal. lots of change here, to an half years ago to in three people voted to remain. now, steely —— sterling has a tory mp backing theresa may. an awful lot to play for next week. you are watching brea kfast. for next week. you are watching breakfast. still to come: we take a virtual tour through ancient iraqi tunnels to find out what's left of the sacred shrines bombed out by isis. we will talk to a documentary team taking pictures in those tunnels and got caught and held for some time, did loads of archaeology and looks at archaeological artefacts and

talking about how valuable the history is and why there is this culture of destroying history. and we have an assistant dog live without. —— with us. we have an assistant dog live without. -- with us. cs seven o'clock for the headlines. —— see you at seven o'clock. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. london councils are warning of another year of austerity and cuts ahead of the government revealing what they can spend later this week. labour councillors say vital services are at risk and they're making an appeal for more money. in camden, the council faces cuts of £23 million next year which could affect nursery places and transport services. this has to stop. austerity has not ended, in fact, it's getting worse. what you are cutting when you are cutting local governments, you're cutting local services, you're cutting youth services, you're cutting amazing facilities like this and we have to have a real conversation about how we fund these local services because we can't go on as we are. a plan for the uk's largest ever lung cancer screening project

the family of a man who died after a vicious assault on christmas two yea rs vicious assault on christmas two years ago have made a plea for those responsible to come forward. carl o'brien was attacked in wellington, he has been described as a beloved family man who doted on his young granddaughter. detectives have renewed a £20,000 reward for information. a plan for the uk's largest ever lung cancer screening project is being launched today in the capital. the study aims to detect lung cancer early amongst at risk londoners and help to develp a new blood test. it's hoped 50,000 people aged between fifty and seventy seven can be recruited for the uclh study. at the moment — in england, people are offered screening for breast, bowel and cervical cancer, but not lung cancer. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the district line and hammersmith and city lines. the piccadilly line is part suspended. turning to the roads. in wembley, the north circular

is down to one lane southbound just before ikea at brentfield road, following a house fire. there are queues on the approach. in wimbledon, haydons road is partially closed. north road is also closed, that's for the ongoing investigations after a man was shot by the police yesterday. in acton, twyford road is closed because of a hole in the road. now, the weather with kate. good morning. well, it was a cold night last night, especially compared to the last few mild ones. temperatures low enough for a little bit of frost out there, but it's a sunny start. cloud however, will increase as we head through the day. there is a bit of high cloud out there, so the sunshine perhaps from time to time a little bit hazy this morning, but it will be through the afternoon that thicker cloud arrives from the west. a cold day, colder than it has been. some six or seven degrees cooler than yesterday. 7—0 celcisu the maximum temperature. the wind is light at least through the day. overnight tonight, still rather cloudy, we will see thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain arriving through the second part

of the night on the early hours of tomorrow morning through to wednesday itself. the minimum temperatures is going to be a little milder than last night, between four and six celsius. a rather damp, murky start tomorrow morning. quite a mild start thought. we'll see further outbreaks of rain, but mild temperatures at least for the next couple of days. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. good morning. it isa it is a seven o'clock. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today: theresa may prepares to make the case for her brexit deal to parliament — at the opening of five crucial days of debate. before that the government faces potential embarrassment if mps found it broke rules by refusing to

publish its full brexit legal advice. what does the brexit debate look like 400 miles away from westminster? i'm in historic stirling to find out how people here are following developments. a scathing report on the rail industry's roll—out of new timetables in may. mps say transport secretary chris grayling should have done more to prevent the chaos. the body of former us president george hw bush arrives in washington to lie in state on capitol hill. it was an historic night in paris, where luka modric won the men's ballon d'or, ending a decade of domination from ronaldo and messi. and the very first women's award went to ada hegerberg, sparking a social media storm. good morning. a cold and frosty start to the day with a widespread frost and patchy mist and folb. for many of us it will start on a sunny note —— fog. rain coming in from the south—west later. more in 15 minutes. good morning.

it's tuesday, the 4th of december. our top story: theresa may will make the case for her brexit withdrawal deal to parliament later, opening a five—day debate on the issue. but first the government is facing potential embarrassment if it's found to have broken the rules by not publishing its brexit legal advice. our political correspondent iain watson has more. theresa may has been touring the country and tv studios trying to sell the brexit deal, but today she will face the most demanding audience of all — her fellow politicians. butjust before she begins five days of debate on the deal, mps will discuss whether ministers are in contempt for failing to publish the legal advice which parliament demanded last month. last night, the commons speaker granted an emergency debate, to be held around lunchtime today. i have considered the matter carefully, and i am satisfied that there is an arguable case that contempt has been committed. if theresa may is defeated and government ministers are found

in contempt, this is likely to be seen more as a distraction than a disaster. a committee of mps would have to consider what action to take. the government's accusing opposition politicians of playing politics. i think it's a complete diversion from what the public are expecting to hear. we're going to have five days of important debate about the merits of brexit, the withdrawal agreement. let's get on with that and stop messing about with process. what is significant is that one of the opposition parties who want to see the legal advice is none other than northern ireland's dup, and their mps usually prop up prime minister's minority government, so this could be the shape of things to come. the really big vote isn't today, its next week when mps decide whether to back the brexit deal. but today's debate may give a clue to the scale of opposition that the prime minister's likely to face. iain watson, bbc news. we can now speak to our political correspondent nick eardley,

who's in westminster for us this morning. so it's the start, the start of the five days, what we have been waiting for, culminating in that vote. what do you think? it will be a busy few days. theresa may has a huge challenge on her hands to get this through. even before she can get to selling their speech to mps once again, she faces the wrath, potentially, of opposition parties who are furious over the fact that they are not at the moment going to be making that decision based on the full legal advice the government has. you heard in that report that it will try to force that contempt of parliament vote later on. ministers are really reluctant to publish the full legal advice, they say quite simply it needs to remain confidential. there is a real prospect that for the first time in living memory the government itself could be held in contempt of parliament. but all of that is just a precursor, a curtain raiser to

that big a debate as to whether or not parliament endorses theresa may's brexit vision. as we have seen over the last few weeks she faces massive opposition from every side on it, from some who think it leaves us too close to the european union, tied to its rules, to others who think it takes is too far away. theresa may will argue this morning that it sets us on course for a better future outside the european union. but she faces massive, massive struggles to win over enough mps to get it through. nick eardley, thank you very much. it is 7:05 a.m.. you are watching breakfast. welcome back. we have a technical problems on bbc one. we were there on bbc one. did you pull the plug out? accidentally kicked the plug out. we are back with you. apologies for the technical problems. you are watching breakfast. we move on with some other news for

you. the transport secretary, chris grayling, should take some responsibility for the chaos around the introduction of new rail timetables earlier this year, according to a report by mps. mr grayling has apologised for the disruption faced by hundreds of thousands of passengers on northern and govia thameslink routes in may, but has said he was given reassurance by train company bosses only days before. the transport select committee says genuine change is now needed to restore trust in the railways. more than 4,000 children in england with special educational needs and disabilities were not given the support they needed at school last year, according to the ofsted chief inspector. the regulator's annual report, which is published today, describes the failure as a national scandal. the department for education says it's working to improve standards with a new inspection framework. navtej johal reports. that's nice. that is what i would wear. ten—year—old sienna has been out of school for over a year. she has autism and her mum jane said she was told by her school that it could not meet her needs. she said the system has let her down.

it is a muddle, i would actually say shambles, i have used that quite a few times. nobody seems to know what they are doing. it is easy for all these professionals making these decisions, they can go home at night and sleep, but we are left in limbo, that is what it feels like, limbo. ofsted‘s annual report said that last year in england more than 4000 children like sienna, with official education, health, and care plans setting out their needs received no support at all, five times more than in 2010. it has described the situation as a scandal. it often said that children are often being excluded rather than seeing help. we are seeing patterns of increasing rates of exclusion for children with special needs. it looks as though, that it is becoming even more difficult for them to do well in mainstream school and to carry en route to life post—16. the government says councils will receive almost £6 billion

for special needs this academic year. a rise of 5 billion from 2013. but as this march by head teacher showed early this year, many schools are struggling to fund the huge increases in demand for support, a struggle which looks set to continue. navteonhal, bbc news. lost families will be concerned about the level of spending, but italy for those educational needs —— lots of families. we will be speaking to the chief inspector of 0fsted at speaking to the chief inspector of ofsted at around eight a.m.. please get your questions in and we will do to get them to her. the family of a british woman who vanished from outside a bar in tenerife have arrived to help with the search for her. 28—year—old amy gerard, originally from cleethorpes, was last seen outside an irish bar called molly malone's in puerto de la cruz in the early hours of friday morning. spanish police have released a missing poster appealing for information about ms gerard. anti—government protesters in france

have pulled out of a meeting today with their prime minister after allegedly receiving death threats from extremists. the group known as the "yellow vest" movement began demonstrating against fuel taxes last month but the protests were hijacked by hardliners from the far right and left — and on saturday they led to serious violence in paris. now members of the group say they are being warned not to enter the body of president george bush senior is lying in state in washington. it follows a ceremony which was attended by the bush family and senior political figures. there'll be a state funeral for the former us president on wednesday. from washington, rajini vaidyanathan sent this report. for george hw bush, it was the final journey to washington dc — a city to which he devoted much of this life. with his son, america's 43rd president george w bush watching on, the casket of the country's 41st was carried out the steps of the us capitol building, accompanied by a 21 gun salute. 21 gun salute.

president trump, who mr bush reportedly didn't vote for, paid his respects with his wife, melania. republicans and democrats, and politicians past and present lined up to pay tribute. in all of his 94 years, president bush never lost his love of adventure, and he never failed to answer the call to serve his country. president george hw bush's casket will lie in state here at the us capitol building in washington until wednesday morning, giving members of the public their chance to say a final goodbye. then, it will move to washington's national cathedral, where america's 41st president will be afforded a full state funeral. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, washington. drones and unmanned vehicles are being included in the biggest exercise of military robots in british history. it's currently under way on salisbury plain.

guns on robots are also being tested by the british army for the first time as part of the exercise examining ways to automate warfare. it would be fascinating to see. yes. i have doesn't go wrong. we will have the weather shortly. it's been a frustrating year for rail passengers. now a report by mps has strongly criticised train operators and the government for not doing more to stop massive disruption caused by the introduction of a new timetable. at its worst, in may, more than 300 journeys a day were cancelled, affecting passengers mainly on northern and thameslink services. disruption has continued throughout the autumn. in october, more than 25% of northern rail services were either late or cancelled. and passengers on transpennine express have experienced a rough ride too, with 30% of services delayed or cancelled in october. we'rejoined now from our london newsroom by robert nesbit from the rail delivery group — which represents britain's train operators.

good morning to you. thank you for coming on and facing some of these questions. i am sure you have read it. it is a pretty scathing report. why with things allowed to get to this level. why were they so bad? when you take this report, which we as an industry welcome, it is an important contribution, and put it next to the review that has been carried out by the rail regulator and our own internal reviews about what went wrong in may and we accept that a lot of things went wrong, they are all pretty much saying the same thing, and that is that there is systemic problems within the industry. there is not one person to blame, we need to look at the plumbing of the industry, how the architecture is working, because it is clearly not working for passengers. we welcome this government review that is going to be carrying on for about a year. we

know passengers can't wait for the result of that review, that we as an industry to act and make sure that what happened in may does not happen again. we have another timetable just around the corner, the december timetable is coming up on sunday. we have taken a timetable is coming up on sunday. we have ta ken a loss of timetable is coming up on sunday. we have taken a loss of measures to protect passengers from what went wrong in may. if the system wasn't working, why with such an ambitious timetable change attempted in may? clearly people were saying it would not work. those reports say that the felt it did not begin, it did not work. what we have done this time around there is a timetable assurance team, which is effectively run by network rail, which runs the tracks in this country. by challenging the train operating companies saying we are ready on the spett, are you really ready? having that conversation to make sure that we are not over ambitious, which is what happened in may —— on this bit. it has had an effect. we have looked

at the december timetable coming up and certain services we had promised passengers we have taken out of this timetable because we know that the most important thing is to stabilise the system, because the shockwaves of what happened in may are still being felt by passengers and for that, of course, we apologise, but rather than be sitting here saying sorry we have to do something about it and that is why this december we hope, there are always issues or teething problems with timetables, but we hope we have removed the risk, taken out those risks to try to prioritise stability, because we can't let what happened to some were happy passengers again. doing something could be compensation. that has been suggested by the report. what is happening without? for the two areas both affected in may, thameslink and northern passengers, there have been compensation patted —— packages, not just for the daily journeys compensation patted —— packages, not just for the dailyjourneys but compensation patted —— packages, not just for the daily journeys but the regular travellers, up to one month. that is the equivalent for some of those regular travellers of about 8%

of the money they pay for their rail fa res of the money they pay for their rail fares and, of course, that is not going to compensate people for missed appointments, mr scheduling at work. we know that, but it will go some way to say that we as an industry know that we did not match up industry know that we did not match up to the expectations in may and we know there are financial consequences for us if things go wrong. 67,000 season—ticket holders in the thameslink area have already had their compensation claims processed and that process is carrying on until the end of january. so anyone who is a season—ticket holder in the conflict area should contact thameslink to make sure that their claim is being process. do you have a rail season—ticket yourself?” process. do you have a rail season-ticket yourself? i do not. but i am season-ticket yourself? i do not. butiama season-ticket yourself? i do not. but i am a regular train traveller. you must be aware that people are paying, many of our view was this morning are paying thousands of pounds for this service, and yet they cannot rely on those services to get into work or wherever they

need to be, you talked about this timetable change coming in this weekend, can you give any guarantees this morning, i know you have put fails facing, other guarantees that it will not be the carnage that many people saw in may? -- viewers. we are doing our best to limit their exposure to potential delays. raqqa roll out, especially when the going to the winter season, that there may be things that affect their journeys ——i cannot rule out. we know what went may in wrong, we know that thousands of people were severely inconvenienced. we don't operate in a vacuum inconvenienced. we don't operate in a vacuum in the rail industry. many of us are regular train travellers ourselves. we felt the same pain that passengers were feeling as well. we know it went wrong. we are now looking at how best to manage that, not just now now looking at how best to manage that, notjust now by setting up this assurance team and putting extra money into the timetabling area network rail, but looking at the systemic issues with the train

industry. we welcomed the rail review, we have launched our own consultation into fares to see how they are structured to see how they can work better for passengers. this is all part of a long—term plan to and change, because we know that this summer we have lost the trust of thousands of our customers. we know that. we are doing our best to make sure that this timetable that comes into force on sunday will do its best for those passengers and inject that investment that we know the railway needs. it is usually can inject —— congested, often victorian infrastructure, we try to put extra services on to make passengers get the service that they have asked for. it was trying to do that that things went wrong in may. so the ambition is right, but the fermentation inmate lily was wrong. all right. we shall see over the weekend what happens and maybe we will speak to you again. thank you very much for coming on breakfast this morning. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it isa

it is a cold start to the day, will hold them it yesterday. if you are just stepping out, wrap up warmly. temperature is widely below freezing. widespread frost, patchy mist and fault as well, but for many when the sun get up, we are looking at the fair bit of sunshine. there is the risk of ice on untreated services across parts of scotland. have this reach of high pressure across us, whether from towards the west is producing showers but it is this weather front coming later today that will introduce some rain across the south—west. for many, it isa across the south—west. for many, it is a beautiful, sparkly, cold and crisp start of the day. don't forget that frost and fault, that could last across the glens of scotland all day and some of the shells in the west could be wintry, about 250 metres. could also see the odd shower across north—west england. through the day, the clerk —— the cloud will start to build in from the south—west, turning hazy and here comes the rain across isles of

scilly, into cornwall and into the channel islands by about mid afternoon. as we head onto the evening and overnight, that and of rain continuing itsjourney, moving northwards and eastwards with cloud ahead of it. some hill fog, freezing fog across scotland and once again, risk of ice on untreated services where it has been down. you can see it will be particularly cold as indicated by the blue hues on the chart. not as cold elsewhere. that is under clear skies, patchy fog running into scotland and northern england will be freezing. you will bea england will be freezing. you will be a wet night for northern ireland, much of england and wales. to the course of tomorrow that continues to edge northwards. we had to weather fronts. here is the first and second. in between, it will dry touch but still some drizzle and through the day we see snow across the north pennine heading into the southern docklands and eventually into the central. here it was still

be cold, temperatures down to three or five celsius. the across the rest of the uk, wild for the time of year it will be. through thursday, you'll quite a breezy day. windy with exposure. weather fronts crossing quite a breezy day. windy with exposure. weatherfronts crossing us introducing rain, but it is the system coming from the west that will bring in some wild weather through thejob will bring in some wild weather through the job —— will bring in some wild weather through thejob —— course of will bring in some wild weather through the job —— course of friday. the isobars tells you that. what you can expect on thursday is some rain followed by showers, breezy but windy with exposure in the west and then on friday is that the area of then on friday is that the area of the pressure crossing us, bringing heavy outbreaks of rain moving from the west to the east, having that also through parts of western scotla nd also through parts of western scotland and northern ireland. it will be windy wherever you are, but especially so across western scotla nd especially so across western scotland where we have when dust, 70 mph, possibly more. in areas adjacent to the irish sea it will

also be windy. at the moment the met office does not have any weather warnings out at that may change and if it does we will keep you posted radio. it doesn't mean people should ta ke radio. it doesn't mean people should take care. —— shouldn't. see you later. let's take a look at the papers. the guardian says a cabinet minister could miss next week's vote on the brexit deal, if it's found they broke rules for not publishing the full legal advice about the deal. and michelle obama is the lead picture. the former first lady was in london yesterday and said she still suffers from ‘imposter syndrome'. the times leads on a "damning" report by mps suggesting the transport secretary chris grayling should accept responsibility for the ‘meltdown' of rail services this summer. and pictured is alex younger, the boss of mi6 who gave a speech at his old university yesterday. and finally, the mirror quotes

sir david attenborough, saying ‘time is running out to save our planet'. yesterday the broadcaster gave a speech about the environment at a united nations sponsored summit in poland. this week on breakfast we've been looking at the issue of care in the uk, and yesterday we revealed scotland spends more on it than england and wales. personal care is free for scottish people over the age of 65. but next year, funding will be extended to everyone, following a campaign led by the widow of scottish footballer frank kopel. so how does it work in scotland? lorna gordon has been finding out. four times a day, archie has carers visit him at home.

a stroke left him paralysed down one side, and he gets help with bathing, dressing, the preparation of food. they get used to you coming in and you get to know each other. i have been coming here, yeah, six years as well. knew them for quite a while! for much of the day, his care falls to his wife mavis, but because he is over 65, the 2.5 hours or so of personal care he is assessed as needing by his local authority, is provided for free. it makes a huge difference, honestly. i don't know what we would do without this care. to me, they are like angels, he's getting emotional about it, that's what it is. he knows how lucky we are to have them all. free personal care was introduced in scotland to try and encourage people like archie to stay and receive care in their own homes for as long as possible.

more than 45,000 people here are now assessed as being eligible, an increase of 8% over the last decade. it now costs nearly £380 million annually. the policy is well liked, but some say it could work better. people would like it to extend further into mopping and shopping—type services and there are some complaints that people may wait for the assessment of the service or the delivery of the service. we estimate that it you introduced the scottish system into england, for example, it would cost about an extra £7 billion by 2021. he's got to have a support and he does from frank kopel... footballer frank kopel died after early onset dementia just weeks after turning 65. his wife amanda successfully campaigned so free personal care would be available to all, regardless of age. she is still pushing to make sure that the thousands of younger people who would be eligible from april, will benefit notjust in principle, but also in practice. he said, tell them amanda, it is too late for me, but it will help

others in the future. help people like jeff adamson, he became paralysed when he was 41. he welcomes frank's law, but worries it will not be fully funded. it makes me very angry for myself, but for other people. i have no idea how it is going to be implemented. i am concerned that i won't see any benefit whatsoever when this policy is introduced. free personal care in scotland is provided as a legal right. the challenge, to ensure this popular policy remains durable when it comes to cost, and works as intended. lorna gordon, bbc news. the scottish government says the extension of free personal care is to be fully implemented on aprilfirst 2019, and its taken the necessary steps in the scottish parliament to make that happen. we'll have more on care series tomorrow and 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 news website. joe has done it and shown where his mum's area is. shinnie city in a ca re mum's area is. shinnie city in a care home where they have right training and training, —— equipment. she is a warm, fed, looked after and has company and seems happy. people sharing sad stories with us. andrew says his mother is 87 and getting help. they think she can cope and washed their hands of us. all sorts of strange letters appearing in here. my sister and ifeel we of strange letters appearing in here. my sister and i feel we could doa here. my sister and i feel we could do a betterjob. the council simply do a betterjob. the council simply do not care. andrew carrington puts it clearly, it is getting old. time

is 36 past seven. the bbc breakfast brexit tour continues today and victoria is in stirling asking if leaving the eu could re—open the debate for scottish independence. morning, victoria. good morning to you. that is the lingering question. i am here to have a look at what it really means for people living 400 miles away from westminster. sterling is the city of huge strategic importance for scotland, the scene of apples and release important strategic wins for the scots over england in the past. how does this latest battle over brexit really look like it is shaking down and where does that leave the longer running fight for independence? for companies looking to grow, brexit matters hugely and the clock is very much ticking. for a city where two in three people voted to remain a half years ago, where does the conservative mp who backs brexit and theresa may's plan

or brexit, really leave them? will it reflect their priorities? i would talk talking about the possibilities for profit and their people in half an hour's time. for profit and their people in half an hour ‘s time. first, the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. london councils are warning of another year of austerity and cuts ahead of the government revealing what they can spend later this week. labour councillors say vital services are at risk and they're making an appeal for more money. in camden, the council faces cuts of £23 million next year which could affect nursery places and transport services. this has to stop. austerity has not ended, in fact, it's getting worse. what you are cutting when you are cutting local governments, you're cutting local services, you're cutting youth services, you're cutting amazing facilities like this and we have to have a real conversation about how we fund these local services because we can't go on as we are. the family of a man who died after what police called a vicious assault just before christmas two years ago, have made an appeal for those

responsible to come forward. carl o'brien was attacked in a communal stairwell of flats at vanguard way in wallington. he's been described as a beloved family man who doted on his young granddaughter. detectives have renewed a £20,000 reward for information. is being launched today in the capital. —— a plan for the uk's largest ever lung cancer screening project is being launched today in the capital. the study aims to detect lung cancer early amongst at risk londoners and help to develp a new blood test. uclh hope to recruit 50,000 people aged between 50—77 to take part. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. the piccadilly line is part suspended. turning to the roads in wembley, the north circular is down to one lane southbound just before ikea at brentfield road following a house fire. there are queues on the approach. in wimbledon, haydons road is partially closed.

north road is also closed that's for ongoing investigations after a man was shot by the police yesterday. finally, twyford road is closed in acton because of a hole in the road — so expect some delays there. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it was a cold night last night, especially compared to the last few mild ones. temperatures low enough for a little bit of frost out there, but it's a sunny start. cloud however, will increase as we head through the day. there is a bit of high cloud out there, so the sunshine perhaps from time to time a little bit hazy this morning, but it will be through the afternoon that thicker cloud arrives from the west. a cold day, colder than it has been. some six or seven degrees cooler than yesterday. 7—0 celcius the maximum temperature. the wind is light at least through the day. overnight tonight, still rather cloudy, we will see thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain arriving through the second part of the night on the early hours of tomorrow morning through to wednesday itself. the minimum temperatures

is going to be a little milder than last night, between four and six celsius. a rather damp, murky start tomorrow morning. quite a mild start thought. we'll see further outbreaks of rain, but mild temperatures at least for the next couple of days. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. there's plenty more on our webiste and over on bbc radio london. have a lovely morning. bye for now. good morning. it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone 7:30 a.m.. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. theresa may will make the case for her brexit withdrawal deal to parliament later, opening a five—day debate on the issue. but first mps will vote on whether her ministers are in contempt of parliament for failing to provide full legal advice on the withdrawal agreement. the speakerjohn bercow said there was an "arguable case" that a contempt of parliament has been committed.

the transport secretary, chris grayling, should take some responsibility for the chaos around the introduction of new rail timetables earlier this year, according to a report by mps. mr grayling has apologised for the disruption faced by hundreds of thousands of passengers on northern and govia thameslink routes in may, but has said he was given reassurance by train company bosses only days before. the transport select committee says genuine change is now needed to restore trust in the railways. earlier, the group that represents rail operators in britain said lessons had been learnt. we need to look at the plumbing of the industry, how the architecture is working, because clearly it is not working for passengers. so we welcome this government review that is going to be carrying on for about a year. but we know that passengers can't wait for the result of that review. that we as an industry how to act and make sure that what happened in may does not happen again. more than 4,000 children in england with special educational needs and disabilities were not given the support they needed at school

last year, according to the ofsted chief inspector. the regulator's annual report, which is published today, describes the failure as a national scandal. the department for education says it's working to improve standards with a new inspection framework. the family of a british woman who vanished from outside a bar in tenerife have arrived to help with the search for her. 28—year—old amy gerard, originally from cleethorpes, was last seen outside an irish bar called molly malone's in puerto de la cruz in the early hours of friday morning. spanish police have released a missing poster appealing for information about ms gerard. the body of president george bush senior is lying in state in washington. it follows a ceremony attended by the bush family and senior political figures including president trump. there'll be a state funeral for mr bush on wednesday before he's buried in texas on thursday. perhaps, like me, not like you, it

isa perhaps, like me, not like you, it is a bit early for the christmas decorations to go up. what did you just do then? i wasjust interested... we normally go to the 14th of december, but because we have a christmas do this weekend we are going earlier this week.” have a christmas do this weekend we are going earlier this week. i still think that as early. but do what you want. it is up to you. i will check if it is ok with you. a couple in leicester didn't bother asking. they have covered their home in festive lights, as part of a tradition that's been going on for more than 30 years. it is nice. i think. fred and eileen toone, who are 91 and 86, say they save money from their pension each year to put on the display for their elderly neighbours. how old are they? play a young at heart. at 91. you old folk come round... we have six christmas treat sally nugent. my problem is they

keep buying decorations. they keep buying baubles so we need more trees. six. i understand four of them are quite small. three. literally teeny tiny ones that big. i have one real one, one fake one, and then one thing one. and then three little words. i cannot stop buying baubles. i love christmas —— little ones. the best baubles i have seen, the only reason i would buy a new ones, is the ones filled with alcohol. gin or whiskey baubles.” also don't ever for any way. get free sentimental about them. my angel is about 30 years old. —— get very. that telling me to shut up about christmas and get on with the football. they were saying that a minute and a half ago. we are talking about the ballon

d'or. this lady is ada hegerberg. the first female winner of the ballon d'or. it was historical. but there was controversy when the host martin solveig — a famous dj — asked her if she could twerk. that is not him, by the way. he came to me after and he was really, really sad that it went that way. i didn't think about it in that moment. i did not consider it as a sexual harassment or anything. it was just happy to get a dance and celebrate winning the ballon d'or, to be honest. well said. cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi have won the ballon d'or between them for the last ten years but their monopoly has been broken by luka modric. he guided croatia to the world cup final and helped real madrid win a third successive champions league title. ronaldo was second and messi down in fifth.

it is a victory of football tonight. i am happy that i have the winner, but this award is for all the players as well that probably deserved to win that didn't. lionel messi and cristiano ronaldo did not go. they stayed home. manchester city face being banned from the champions league next season, if they're found to have broken financial fair play rules. the premier league champions are under investigation by uefa after documents were leaked apparently showing they'd used sponsorship deals to get around the regulations — and an announcement is expected soon. we have the shortlist for the bbc sports personality‘s sporting moment of the year. shall we have a look? who could forget england's netballers winning gold at the commonwealth games in april? that was dramatic. the commentary was brilliant on that as well. england's footballer‘s finally winning a penalty shoot out against colombia at the world cup. dan cried. not ashamed of it.

alastair cook making a century against india in his final test match. i cried. tiger woods's incredible win at the tour championship. and a late addition — tyson fury dramatically rising back from what looked a certain knock out in the 12th round of his fight with deontay wilder. hmmm. he did not win it though. can you win a fight after being knocked down twice? i don't think we have time for this. voting is now open, all the details you need are on the bbc sport website. that is in a couple of weeks time, a week on sunday. thank you very much that. it may be the season of goodwill but it appears a new tradition for christmas adverts is to tug on our heart strings. the bbc‘s new advert is no exception, telling the story of a mother struggling to find time to spend with her son, and it's struck a chord with viewers. let's take a look. # living through the darkness, but

soon i think i will be safe... # 0ut soon i think i will be safe... # out of there in the distance you look like the north star, # somehow lead me to the next place. # holds me close. # let go of the shadows. you will have seen. i'm sure you

have seen that in the to christmas as well. let's meet two people behind the making of that film — edward usher and rachel roberts. thank you for coming in. so we deal with the controversy first of all? some people are saying it is gilding working mums. you worry working mum yourself, are you not? how do you feel listening to some of those criticisms. i suppose it tees at the bbc‘s christmas offering. criticisms. i suppose it tees at the bbc's christmas offering. what i find is that everybody is busy at this time of year. the message for this time of year. the message for this film is about cherishing the time you do have with the people that you love. and it takes me up watching it as well, still. but, yeah, forming the message isn't about whether or not it is a busy working mum, it is about connecting relationships and families and how important they are in understanding that... important they are in understanding that. . . what important they are in understanding that... what was the brief, edward, in terms of making this? i think the environment these are made in now,

you havejohn lewis, m&s, all the big brands are putting out these adverts, and they are things to be spoken about, watercooler moments, so to speak, what was the brief when you were given this? the brief was that we just wanted to bring people around the television together at christmas time and show them what bbc is about at christmas. we wanted to do that in a creative way and tell a story. the bbc has a great storytelling history. we honestly not saying anything like the brands. we wanted to tell a real modern story —— we are obviously. we wanted to tell a real modern story -- we are obviously. when you are researching this, to go back to controversy, although it, rachel, you may not fill it has impacted you, there are those who do not want to be made to feel guilty. when you did the research for this what did it involves to show whether this was

something it could relate to? when we did the research, my partner and i. we did the research, my partner and i, who wrote the film together, we spoke to mum is that the bbc and outside to do some research, and we we re outside to do some research, and we were surprised at their response. we are somewhat which you do if you had all the time in the world? we expected them to say we would put our feet expected them to say we would put ourfeet up or expected them to say we would put our feet up or watch a movie on our own, relax, but they said if we had all the time in the world we would spend some quality time with kids, without husbands, with our families. we we re without husbands, with our families. we were surprised by this. we thought it was a great insight to write the film about. the film is about if you get a moment, no matter how short, that which is why we stopped trying to imply a moment, we felt it was not about wartime combat would be disingenuous, but when you get a moment cherish the moment —— it was not about being disingenuous.

they come up with the idea in march and we came up with developing the script and commissioned a director to direct it. we filmed it in north norfolk in september for four days. we have been working very hard since putting it together and just finished it last week, just in time for turning on the christmas lights. why does the bbc need this, why do we need a promotional video? people will be watching anyway, what they? that is a good question.” will be watching anyway, what they? that is a good question. i think it isjust a wonderful that is a good question. i think it is just a wonderful opportunity for people to rally around a piece of creative work. that is what the bbc is about telling his beautiful stories. it would be ashamed to do it at christmas, it is a wonderful time on bbc. people are waiting for various offerings from people like the bbc and you mentioned john lewis and that sort of thing, you put them against each other, it has become pa rt against each other, it has become part of the christmas tradition. against each other, it has become part of the christmas traditionm is. everyone talks about one thing.

think of the joining us.” is. everyone talks about one thing. think of the joining us. i don't know if the weather is in a christmassy mood at the moment. know if the weather is in a christmassy mood at the momentm is cold enough. good morning, carol. you are not wet. thank goodness. good morning. it is a cold start to the day. for many of us the temperatures have fallen below freezing in parts of northern england as low as —6 in north yorkshire. that means there is widespread frost first thing in the risk of ice. we have some lying snow in summerthe high risk of ice. we have some lying snow in summer the high ritz in scotland. we have some wintry showers in the north and the west. —— high ritz. we have seen some snow showers as we have seen some snow showers as we have gone through because of the most of these are above 250 metres or so. it will continue to be sent through the course of the day. a ridge of high pressure across us, so things fairly quiet. the first weather front comes later on, introducing rain across the isles of

scilly and then across cornwall and the channel islands. a crisp start to the day. mist an fog patches will lift rapidly. then you will find that through the day, as the system approaches, the cloud will start to build a header that turning the sunshine hazy. at the end the end of the country, the sunshine, particularly in sheltered glens, they could hold onto the frost for much of the day. cold but sunny. outbuilding across northern ireland. not bad across northern england across yorkshire, down towards hull, for example, byzantine be hazy across wales and into the south—east, with rain dancing —— the sunshine. temperature is not much to write home about. through this evening and overnight we will see that weather front coming in, the first one, taking the rain and moving steadily north and east was. outbuilding ahead of it. hill fog around. clear skies in the north means it will be a cold night with a widespread frost in scotland and

parts of north—east england. any patchy fog will be freezing. for the rest of us, it will be comparatively mild, especially in the south—west. here we have more rain coming. here is the first weather front, here is the second one. in between them as we had three rain state there will bea gap. we had three rain state there will be a gap. some dry conditions but the cloud will still be thick enough or drizzle. the first rontez north, the second heads east, and on the northern flank we're likely to see snow in the north pennines —— the first one heads. one thing you will notice is the temperatures. 9— 11 or 12. that is mild estate in december. in the zone died in the north it will still feel quite cold, —— in the sunshine in the north. exposure in western areas. rain putting in from the west, at dancing eastwards. for easy for most of us during the

course of thursday. during the day brighter spells will develop with highs pretty good for this time of year. thank you, we have a dog in the studio this morning, feeljealous? looked at him? he is gorgeous. —— look at tim! he is an assistant dog, very chilled out. something going on, is it me? that is my best side, it said. this morning we're on the second stop of our bbc breakfast brexit tour. victoria is in stirling to ask if leaving the eu could re—open the debate for scottish independence. where are you? keeping cosy in a coffeeshop? i am at borrow copy house in stirling, 400 miles from westminster and the chap going on. westminster and the chap going on. we are westminster and the chap going on. we a re interested

westminster and the chap going on. we are interested about what is going on with the battle over brexit goes to those people to half years ago in the city voted to remain, but in the last couple of years they have voted in a conservative mp who backs brexit, theresa may's plan and has said that he will give his conditional support to theresa may at the vote next week. for companies looking to grow, the clock ticks on. 0f looking to grow, the clock ticks on. of course, it matters hugely to businesses try to make investment decisions, adding to what happens next. i am with a few of them this morning. i have got fiona and craig with me. if i stay with you first, you are the managing, a design business. a small business. how does all of this affect you? well, i think brexit in terms of my business, i am looking to invest another £35,000 in the third business in tourism and there is so

much uncertainty that i don't know whether to invest that or not. it is very difficult to know what to do. ifi very difficult to know what to do. if i have got that small investment decision to make, i can't believe how big businesses have got to work and plan ahead because it is very difficult to plan ahead. are you able to make any plans at all at the moment? you run a bed and breakfast, you have got a design business and you have got a design business and you were thinking about going into tourism. scottish tourism is doing very well, that is partly to do with the pound. there is no guarantees that that is going to be and it is difficult to make any decision when we don't know what has happened. nobody knows what is going on. no, it is not very satisfying. if i ran my business like the government is running their business, i wouldn't have a business. let's bring in lois cameron, you run talking mac, lately

how you think brits would affect you. it is a company that was built out of research at the university of stirling. a free communication framework that supports people with communication disabilities. our business is both in scotland, england and international. what really worries me is that we have been a bit like fiona, we have been in this climate of not knowing, and knowing, and the deal that is on the table is still unknowing. our overseas business is split between europe and australia and at the moment, our trade with europe, which isa moment, our trade with europe, which is a real growth area for us, is seamless. when i compare it to how it is in australia where we have to do visas and forms, i do want that happening and that will challenge the growth of my business. let's bring in craig were doing a ph.d. at the university of stirling. you were

a student in the vote happened for the referendum and there was the vote to leave. how has that effect did you and your studies so far? we are looking to firm up funding for my ph.d. , partly funded by the department of environment. we have to go back and rethink the funding model and see if it was viable immediately after the vote. it was unsure whether or not i would get to do the ph.d.. does this affect you at all in terms of where you might and take your skill set? you take the sorts of skills that people want. i wouldn't say it affects me too much. my field is skills you can ta ke too much. my field is skills you can take anywhere, i do have a view of working internationally. ithink take anywhere, i do have a view of working internationally. i think it could go anywhere but there isn't too much impact from a competing perspectives from brexit. ok, thank you for your time. the negotiations between the uk and the eu, whatever shape and form they take, will affect people right at the uk. we

have got a few more views of business owners throughout the rest of the day. at first, back to you. very interesting to get news from across the country. doing that all week as part of our exit breakfast roadshow. something like that. it's an image that made headlines around the world. a labrador sleeping next to the casket of the former president george bush. sully had worked as a service dog for mr bush and — faithful to the end — he's accompanying his body as it lies in state. it's received a huge reaction online with people praising the dog's loyalty. it makes you think. we'rejoined now by linda montgomery who also has an assistance dog, called obi, to talk about the special bond people have with these animals. i have to apologise, we are obsessed with obi, we showed obi before we showed you. lovely to have you with us. what did you think when you saw that picture? i was actually quite

choked. it was really moving. what it reflects, not onlyjust the loyalty, but the special relationship you have with an assistant dog. any people watching will not know what an assistant dog is for. how does obi help you every day? he helped see with mobility issues. i have a problem holding things, i drop things an awful lot and he picks things up for me. he helps me getting dressed. he does the washing, puts the washing in and out of the machine, helps put the washing on some of the made. so he goes to the washing machine? yeah, he puts washing into the machine and tax washing out. yeah. —— takes washing out. i have a blister pack which my husband put into a daily plastic thing. you see him taking the receipt out of the machine. incredible, really. can you compare what life will be like without him and what life was like for? before i

got obi, i have had him forfour yea rs got obi, i have had him forfour years now. before i got him, i spend a lot of time in the house on my own. i children were all going through the end of school and establishing their working careers. i couldn't go out unless somebody was with me and my husband worked a lot of hours, so it was a case of in the house, one hours and it was very difficult because you start to lose contact with society. what is quite interesting, obi, when we refer to is the dogs and their partners, not their owners. it is a different relationship. he is a working dog. also a greedy dog. he loves his treats and he grumbles of weight if he used to getting his treat. —— grumbles of way. does not like being ignored. —— a way. about

independence. yes, i go out every day now and wouldn't be here without him. igo day now and wouldn't be here without him. i go and do the shopping. i know he is interested in food, but he is constantly watching you. know he is interested in food, but he is constantly watching youm just for food. if i get too hot, which i starting to with the light, he will actually prompt me to take my cardigan off. if i am told he will want me to put my cardigan back on. you broke your elbow, tell us about that. i had only had him about six weeks at the times, new into the partnership. i had a fall. he came and laid down next to me. i wasn't sure what he was going to do. i pressed my lifeline button and when the machine started beeping, he started barking and he went through to the living room and was barking andi to the living room and was barking and i thought oh dear, he does not like the beeper and would be able to hear me. as soon as he heard the voice, he came into the bedroom and lay down next to me. my husband was

a paramedic, when he came home he went that all due to save paramedic aid, he laid down next me the whole time, everything paramedic was doing, check everything went it got the need. he —— he got the needle. watched that, check everything she did. didn't he get a little bit protective? he did, we were in the hospital and the doctor was examining me. obviously it hurt and obijumped examining me. obviously it hurt and obi jumped onto the side of my chair, nudged his nose between my arm and the doctors hand and pushed his hand off me. the doctor said, 0k, his hand off me. the doctor said, ok, itake his hand off me. the doctor said, ok, i take that is enough. a beautiful relationship. you want to give her a treat. barely go. straight to linda. —— there you go.

just leave us here. we are very happy. we have enjoyed talking to you and long may this lovely relationship continue. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm tolu adeoye. london councils are warning of another year of austerity and cuts — ahead of the government revealing what they can spend later this week. labour councillors say vital services are at risk and are appealing for more money. in camden, the council says it faces cuts of £23 million pounds next year, which could affect nursery places and transport services. this has to stop. austerity has not ended, in fact, it's getting worse. what you are cutting when you are cutting local governments, you're cutting local services, you're cutting youth services, you're cutting amazing facilities like this and we have to have a real conversation about how we fund these local services because we can't go on as we are.

the family of a man who died after what police called a ‘vicious' assault just before christmas two years ago, have made an appeal for those responsible to come forward. carl o'brien was attacked in a communal stairwell of flats at vanguard way in wallington. he's been described as a beloved family man who doted on his young granddaughter. detectives have renewed a £20,000 reward for information. a plan for the uk's largest ever lung cancer screening project is being launched today in the capital. the study aims to detect lung cancer early amongst at risk londoners and help to develp a new blood test. uclh hope to recruit 50,000 people aged between 50—77 to take part. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are severe delays on the hammersmith and city line. the piccadilly line is part suspended between rayners lane and uxbridge because of a signal failure. turning to the roads

in wembley, the north circular is down to one lane southbound just before ikea at brentfield road following a house fire. there are queues on the approach. in wimbledon, haydons road is partially closed. north road is also closed that's for ongoing investigations after a man was shot by the police yesterday. finally, twyford road is closed in acton because of a hole in the road, so expect some delays there. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it was a cold night last night, especially compared to the last few mild ones. temperatures low enough for a little bit of frost out there, but it's a sunny start. cloud however, will increase as we head through the day. there is a bit of high cloud out there, so the sunshine perhaps from time to time a little bit hazy this morning, but it will be through the afternoon that thicker cloud arrives from the west. a cold day, colder than it has been. some six or seven degrees cooler than yesterday. 7—0 celcius the maximum temperature. the wind is light at least through the day. overnight tonight, still rather cloudy, we will see thicker cloud

and outbreaks of rain arriving through the second part of the night on the early hours of tomorrow morning through to wednesday itself. the minimum temperatures is going to be a little milder than last night, between four and six celsius. a rather damp, murky start tomorrow morning. quite a mild start thought. we'll see further outbreaks of rain, but mild temperatures at least for the next couple of days. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. there's plenty more on our webiste and over on bbc radio london. now it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. it isa it is a tah. —— it is 8am. our headlines today... theresa may prepares to make the case for her brexit deal to parliament —

at the opening of five crucial days of debate. before that, the government could be found in contempt of parliament for failing to publish its full brexit legal device. —— advice. what does the brexit debate look like 400 miles away from westminster? i'm in historic stirling to find out how people here are following developments. a scathing report on the rail industry's roll—out of new timetables in may — mps say transport secretary chris grayling should have done more to prevent the chaos. the army shows off its new generation of autonomous war machines on salisbury plain. it was an historic night in paris, where luka modric won the men's ballon d'or, ending a decade of domination from ronaldo and messi — and the very first women's award went to ada hegerberg, sparking a social media storm. good morning. a cold start to the day with a widespread frost, some patchy mist and fog, but for many it will be a sunny start with showers in the west. later, rain comes into the

south—west. more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday, the 4th of december. our top story. theresa may will make the case for her brexit withdrawal deal to parliament later, opening a five—day debate on the issue. but first the government is facing potential embarrassment if it's found to have broken the rules by not publishing its brexit legal advice. our political correspondent iain watson has more. theresa may has been touring the country and tv studios trying to sell the brexit deal, but today she will face the most demanding audience of all — her fellow politicians. butjust before she begins five days of debate on the deal, mps will discuss whether ministers are in contempt for failing to publish the legal advice which parliament demanded last month. last night, the commons speaker granted an emergency debate, to be held around lunchtime today. i have considered the matter carefully, and i am satisfied

that there is an arguable case that contempt has been committed. if theresa may is defeated and government ministers are found in contempt, this is likely to be seen more as a distraction than a disaster. a committee of mps would have to consider what action to take. the government's accusing opposition politicians of playing politics. i think it's a complete diversion from what the public are expecting to hear. we're going to have five days of important debate about the merits of brexit, the withdrawal agreement. let's get on with that and stop messing about with process. what is significant is that one of the opposition parties who want to see the legal advice is none other than northern ireland's dup, and their mps usually prop up prime minister's minority government, so this could be the shape of things to come. the really big vote isn't today, its next week when mps decide whether to back the brexit deal. but today's debate may give a clue to the scale of opposition that the prime minister's

likely to face. iain watson, bbc news. we can now speak to our political correspondent nick eardley ,who's in westminster for us this morning. we will speak to former attorney general dominic grieve in about 20 minutes, but it could potentially be a very embarrassing start to an important few days for the prime minister? absolutely, opposition parties are minister? absolutely, opposition parties a re really minister? absolutely, opposition parties are really furious about this, they think the government is failing to adhere to parliament's will by refusing to publish this full brexit legal advice. ministers, on the other hand, say this sort of thing is always confidential and at the moment it does not look like it will budge, so it is perfectly possible that by the end of the day they will have been found in co nte m pt of they will have been found in contempt of parliament. it is hard to think of a worse start to a really busy ten days or so for the prime minister. i beg your pardon, my voice is going, the wrong time

for it to go at the start of such a busy week! she has a mountain to climb over the next five days in parliament if she is to persuade enough mps to back this highly controversial brexit deal. i was speaking to a couple of tory mps last night, one of whom said never read the prime minister. she has had her back against the wall before and has managed to get things through. another said if you think she will get this through, you are on another planet. there is a rocky, the braille, uncertain few days ahead and it all starts with the government potentially being found in contempt of parliament. —— there isa in contempt of parliament. —— there is a rocky, febrile, uncertain start. terrible timing on the boys going! nick wins the prize for getting through everything that needed to be said with a frog in his throat. a lesser men and women would not have coped. i would lesser men and women would not have coped. iwould not lesser men and women would not have coped. i would not have! the transport secretary, chris grayling, should take some responsibility for the chaos around the introduction of new rail timetables earlier this year,

according to a report by mps. mr grayling has apologised for the disruption faced by hundreds of thousands of passengers on northern and govia thameslink routes in may, but has said he was given reassurance by train company bosses only days before. the transport select committee says genuine change is now needed to restore trust in the railways. earlier, the group that represents rail operators in britain, said lessons had been learnt. we need to look at the plumbing of the industry, how the architecture is working, clearly it is not working for passengers. we welcome this government review which will carry on for about a year between no passengers can't wait for the results of that, that we as an industry have to acts to make sure what happened in may does not happen again. more than 4,000 children in england with special educational needs and disabilities were not given the support they needed at school last year, according to the ofsted chief inspector. the regulator's annual report, which is published today, describes the failure as a national scandal. the department for education says it's working to improve standards with a new inspection framework.

we will speak to her majesty's chief inspector at ofsted, amanda spielman, in few moments. the family of a british woman who went missing from outside a bar in tenerife have arrived to help with the search for her. 28—year—old amy gerard, originally from cleethorpes, was last seen outside an irish bar called molly malone's in puerto de la cruz in the early hours of friday morning. spanish police have released a missing poster appealing for information about ms gerard. the french government is reported to be preparing to suspend fuel tax increases in the wake of violent protests against the measures. anti—government protesters pulled out of a meeting today with the prime minister after allegedly receiving death threats from extremists. the group known as the "yellow vest" movement began demonstrating against fuel taxes last month but the protests were hijacked by hardliners from the far right and left. the body of president george bush senior is lying in state in the capitol rotunda in washington. it follows a ceremony attended by the bush family and senior

political figures including president trump. there'll be a state funeral for mr bush on wednesday, then his body will be flown back to texas, where he will be buried on thursday. drones and unmanned vehicles are being included in the biggest ever exercise of military robots in battle scenarios, being carried out by the british army. but there are some concerns about the development of the technology. our defence correspondentjonathan beale has been to find out more. this is the future of warfare. out on salisbury plain, the british army and its allies are learning how to fight alongside robots, both on the ground and in the air. this warrior armoured vehicle would normally be driven by a soldier. here it is all being controlled remotely from this box. and this is the first robot in britain to be fitted with a remotely operated gun, here being sent into potential danger in advance of us troops. but this technology still comes with risks, and as yet

unanswered ethical questions. britain says it has no intent to do develop lethal autonomous weapons, what some call killer robots. but as this technology develops, some will ask who is really in control, is it the man or the machine? we would never use autonomous vehicles that could go out there and do stuff without a human being able to control it. there are already calls for a ban on lethal autonomous weapons, but as yet there are no laws regulating or preventing their use. and there are fears this could be the beginning of a new arms race, with no one yet certain as to where it will lead. a very interesting debate. thank you for being with us this morning. "a national scandal" — that's how the ofsted chief inspector describes the way schools

in england are treating children with special educational needs. amanda spielman's annual report is published later today — and it pays close attention to the growing number of vulnerable children who are not receiving the support they need. she joins us now from our london newsroom. good morning, amanda spielman. thank you very much for talking to others. the report is being officially published at 10am, but can you tell us the things that have concerned you that have come out of this? the things i particularly want to talk about are about children with special educational needs and the provision they get, and the continuing problem with off rolling, children falling out of school without a good reason. let's start without a good reason. let's start with children with special educational needs, the number of children with special educational needs receiving no support has now heads 4000. it has been reduced from

around 4017 to around 2000, is that positive? it is good news that it is down from a spike in 2017 but it is over double where it was in 2010, and the idea that any child with special needs is sitting without the support they need after what is likely to have been quite a long delay for diagnosis is really worrying, that is why i talked about a scandal. we have a system designed to providejoined a scandal. we have a system designed to provide joined up a scandal. we have a system designed to providejoined up care for these children, to bring together education, health and care, and the front—line workers are working their socks off in schools, social services, yet the pieces are not coming together in a way that is helping to get prompt diagnosis. children with autism are waiting to maghera years in some cases, we have the intention of taking these children to the age of 25 to help them through education and fully into the workplace, it is not happening yet, too often pose 19 provision is more of what they were

getting at school age. —— too often, post—19 provision. getting at school age. —— too often, post-19 provision. let's talk about off—rolling, the other issue. more children are being pushed off the rolls, why? increasing numbers of children are disappearing from rolls at surprising times, children would not normally leave school between year tenancy 11 and half are not turning up on any other role at all, they are disappearing from the system. why is that? we don't know. let me put this to you, we have spoken to many teachers looking at what schools are going through in terms of preparing for ofsted inspections and generally dealing with poor funding, decreased inspections and generally dealing with poorfunding, decreased budgets etc. is one of the issues that

ofsted inspections but such pressure on schools and in the light of limited budgets and competition that they had to take these children off they had to take these children off the rolls in order to get pupils in, to get the funding they need? absolutely not the case, our inspections very much reward schools that to the right thing and are putting an effort with children who are the hardest to teach and have the greatest difficulties in education. this is possibly driven by performance tables and a desire to make numbers look good, we have some children disappearing just before, for example, the school census, supposedly to be home educated, but after my parents where there is good reason to think they are not fully equipped to home educate effectively. we have a big concern here. amanda spielman, you said schools are rewarded for doing the right thing by all the pupils,

you emphasise the word all. there is no pacific send rating, special educational needs rating, in ofsted inspections. how are you accounting for all the children? —— there is no specific send rating. we look at how this school is working with the children who are hardest to work with. that can be really positive. the school i visited with your education correspondent branwen jeffreys last week is a good example ofa jeffreys last week is a good example of a school really pulling the stops out and doing well coordinated work with children with send that addresses problems at the very beginning, making sure they don't grow into... well done, that's cool. but why don't you have a specific send rating? —— well done, that's school. i asked you what you wanted to talk about, you said off rolling

and children with special educational needs, yet ofsted does not have a send rating. if it is important enough to talk about, why is it not important enough to have asa is it not important enough to have as a key rating? it flows through teaching, learning, development, personal education welfare, leadership and management. it is important we do not think of children with special educational needs as a different group of children getting a different education, it is fundamental that we do not lose sight that these are still very much children needing the same education and quality of experience as everyone else. amanda spielman, chief inspector of ofsted, thank you for talking to us and highlighting the issues on brea kfast and highlighting the issues on breakfast this morning. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. ijoked i joked last ijoked last month about it being a big code stay, but it is particularly chilly this morning? ——

i talked about it being a big coat day. certainly. first thing, expecting widespread frost as temperatures have widely fallen below freezing. there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces in scotland where we have had snow showers through the night and today, you can see them quite nicely on the snow and rainfall radar. showers in the north and west are likely to be falling asleep to and snow above 250 metres, showers across north—west england, more likely to be of rain at lower levels. the ridge of high pressure is across us, things fairly settled, we have a weather front coming in from the south—west to the cause of the day which will introduce cloud ahead of it and some rain will come in. any patchy mist and fog this morning really starts to clear quite rapidly now, allowing lots of sunshine. through the day, the cloud comes in from the south—west,

turning the sunshine hazy. a cold and frosty start in scotland, some of the frost in the sheltered glens could last all day. a sunny start in northern ireland, cloud building and you will see rain later. a fine day for most of northern england and the north midlands, for wales and the south—east, sunshine turns hazy as the cloud advances, rain will come in across the isles of scilly and cornwall, starting to edge into devon and the channel islands. wherever you are, it will feel cold, particularly the further north you are. through the evening and overnight, this front advances northwards. a second leg will come in behind. ahead of it, lots of cloud, hill fog under clear skies across much of scotland, north—east england will be cold. any patchy mist and fog forming for you could well turn out to be freezing fog. another hazard to be freezing fog. another hazard to watch out for first thing in the morning. through the course of tomorrow, the

front clears over the north sea, the second one comes in behind it, bringing more heavy rain. a bit of brightness in between but also drizzle, producing snow on the tops of the north pennines, the southern uplands and eventually the central highlands. for much of the day, the highlands will have a fine, cold stay with sunshine. behind these weather fronts, it will start to dry. it will be tabulated the day for any lengthy sunny spells but mild foremost on wednesday. —— it will be too late in the day. a weather front brings rain from the west towards these through the cause of thursday, followed by a blustery showers. sunshine in between, but note the temperatures, double figures right the way up to the central lowlands. an area of low pressure comes our way on friday. you can see this huge area of rain, it would be a windy

day with sunshine, we could have gales, even severe gales, of western exposure. studio: a changeable week. thank you. theresa may's authority has received another blow after the commons speaker said the government may have broken parliamentary rules by not publishing brexit legal advice. the prime minister will open a week—long debate on her brexit deal later today but this development could well delay matters. to explain why, we can speak to the former attorney general dominic grieve. hejoins us now he joins us now from hejoins us now from our london studio. good morning, thank you for discussing this this morning. if you we re discussing this this morning. if you were attorney general, what would be your course of action? the attorney general does not control the advice he produces, it is a matterfor the government, not the attorney general, to determine whether the advice should be published or not. this is not an issue which concerns

the attorney directly, it concerns the attorney directly, it concerns the government collectively, particularly the prime minister. my view has always been that there are very good view has always been that there are very good reasons view has always been that there are very good reasons why the advice produced by attorneys general should not be published, it is confidential to government and if it is not confidential, attorneys will have to change the content of their goodbyes to make it suitable for publication. parliament two weeks ago stated by motion that it wanted to see that advice and ultimately i think parliament will get its way, so with the government can persuade the house of commons in the course of this afternoon's debate to change its mind, i think the government will have to produced this advice to parliament. and does that derail the prime minister in the build—up to the crucial five days of debate? prime minister in the build—up to the crucial five days of debate ?m will certainly produce a delay, it was the intention the debate would start this afternoon with eight hours' protected business. if we

have a debate which deals with the co nte m pt have a debate which deals with the contempt motion, which lasts three orfour hours, which is perfectly possible, it is difficult to see how the debate today will start at all u nless the debate today will start at all unless the government is happy to ta ke unless the government is happy to take it into the night. how will you vote ? take it into the night. how will you vote? the government has put down an amendment and i vote? the government has put down an amendmentand i remain vote? the government has put down an amendment and i remain supportive of the government's position on this, but as i have indicated to my government colleagues, if the government colleagues, if the government cannot persuade the house of commons on this matter, it will have to produce that advice. ultimately the house of commons cannot be frustrated from this demand, even if i happen to think the demand should not have made. potentially a slight wobble for the prime minister depending on what happens today. can i ask about the five days of debate, whenever that might start, it might be delayed because of things happening today. you are a remainer, it does not seem that many in your party, and

yourself, are happy with any deal which would see us leave the eu. is itfairto which would see us leave the eu. is it fair to say that you and others have made your mind up already and that means you will not support any deal, even if the prime minister is trying to find the best deal available at the moment?” trying to find the best deal available at the moment? i don't think that is the right way to characterise it at all. the debate is on the deal the prime minister has negotiated. as you heard yesterday when the attorney general came to the dispatch box house of commons, this deal is very unusual, we are leaving one complex international legal organisation and order, the eu, and about to embark on ms in ourselves into a completely new one which includes, rather unusually, a backstop under certain circumstances from which we cannot extra ct circumstances from which we cannot extract ourselves. we are replacing one legal order with another. my position has been very simple, if this is what the british people

want, it ought to go back to the british people for them to approve it, and with the option of remaining in the eu. i believe that leaving the eu is an historic mistake and there are no substitute for it which are likely to be better in the medium or long term for this country than remaining in the eu and working within it to change the aspects of it which we do not like. it does not sound like the prime minister can't do anything to persuade you on that issue? i have had a good chance of looking at the 500 plus, 585 plus pages of text, to persuade me that this deal is valuable for the uk, no. she has done her very best, i have no criticism to make of her, it is not a failure of negotiation on her part but it is the fact that inherently the process of leaving the eu is risky and damaging for our country. if, as you seem to say, theresa may cannot get a deal through, what is

the next step, in your mind? if the prime minister cannot get her deal through parliament, the sensible thing for her to do is to offer parliament the opportunity to debate alternative options and to listen carefully to what parliament house to save on the matter. i am convinced and have been for a long time that it parliament is allowed to work collectively to find a way through this crisis, we will find that way. one of the difficulties at the moment is that the government has tended to close down debate... but this is what the debate is for, there is five days to talk about it? and during the five days of the debate, i feel it will become clearer what the majority in parliament want, but the debate itself will not resolve that, partly because the labour party has decided for reasons of its own that it will not consider alternatives until the government motion has been voted down. feel free to defend yourself

against this, but why are you further embarrassing the prime minister? this is a matter which, from my point of view, goes beyond party. i don't want to embarrass the prime minister, over the last two and a half years i have done my best to supporters her since she took on a, frankly, thankless task, but the national interest has to come first andi national interest has to come first and i am not about to sign away the future of my children into an arrangement which in my view is third—rate compared to what we have at the moment, i simply want to. we really appreciate your time, dominic grieve. thank you. shall we look at some christmas lights and brighten up some christmas lights and brighten up the morning? a couple in leicester have covered their home in festive lights, as part of a tradition that's been going on for more than 30 years. fred and eileen toone, who are 91 and 86, say they save money from their pension each year to put on the display for their elderly neighbours. lots of people have been getting in

touch... i think that is a nice effort. i know you think it is too early... and sharon is with me 100%, joel is with me, too early, it is not christmas yet. another person is annoyed about the christmas songs. alan is with me, people go too far. steve says mince pies yes, no decorations until the 13th. you are mince pies in august acclamation put them up 12 days before and take them down 12 days after. i have my first mince pies on the first of the month. in october, says mince pies on the first of the month. in october, sastules! rob has four full—size trees which take over the office, go christmas! patricia, voice of reason, it is an individual choice. patricia, don't come here with your reasonable

suggestions! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. for some of us, a cold and frosty day. things will turn increasingly cloudy particularly down towards the south—west of england through the course of today, later into the afternoon, this am of rain moving into the isles of scilly, into the far south—west of england and wales. cloud increasing ahead of that, in northern areas staying largely sunni, showers across scotland, wintry over higher ground, chilly day compared to

yesterday, maximum temperatures between 7—9d. tonight the area of rain moving north—east with cloud moving with it, keeping temperatures above freezing. you notice on the temperatures, the blues in the north—east of england and scotland, you can see a frost into wednesday, temperatures reaching —12—3d. turning mile dirt through wednesday. fairly wet day for many, especially england and wales. —— turning milder. heavy rain again moving its way eastwards across wales and the south—west into the afternoon, dryer in northern ireland late in the day, not as cold for many, temperatures between 11—14d, holding onto colder air across scotland. by thursday, another weather system moving in, by friday this area of low pressure

developing, moving its way in, turning things nasty for some on friday with gale force winds, maybe some severe gales with showers after the rain clears. as you can see, temperatures between 12—14d, milder thanit temperatures between 12—14d, milder than it is today. that's all from me. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and sally bundock. a bump in the road. german carmakers are in washington to talk trade as president trump threatens more tariffs on foreign cars. live from london, that's our top story on tuesday 4th december. but germany's chancellor merkel says it's brussels, not berlin that determines eu trade policy. but bmw, daimler and volkswagen need to find a way out of the looming trade spat.
