hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. we will begin with brexit. downing street has been saying there are no changes to the plans for the big boat on theresa may's brexit deal on tuesday. despite some seniors to senior conservatives suggesting perhaps a delay would be useful. beijing has demanded the immediate release of a senior executive from the chinese tech giant huawei, who was arrested in canada. united—nations brokered peace talks for yemen are under way in sweden. the meeting is the first between the rival factions for two years. and we'll be finding out why tom cruise has been posting videos — making what pepole are calling a public service announcement — to get us to adjust our television sets. overfocused for the last few days
9:01 pm
has been on tuesday the 11th of december. if the vote is that we're full beta had to be end of march and brexit. if no, we were not quite sure where that leave us. a senior tory mp has said he would welcome a delay in next week's commons brexit vote. here he is speaking to the bbc‘s nick watt. i think the most important thing is to have clarity about how we might remove ourselves from a backstop northern ireland protocol situation if we were to enter into one in future. it's having the answer to that question of substance that is most important. not the timing. so if that question can be answered in the course of the next few days, then all well and good. if it cannot, then i certainly would welcome the vote being deferred until such time as we can answer that question. sir graham brady is the chairman
9:02 pm
of the 1922 committee — an influential committee of conservative backbenchers. the reason there is talk about the possible delay is all talk about the backstop. this is the time we talk about for the arrangement that will kick in in the end of 2020 if the uk and the european union cannot agree and the european union cannot agree a trade deal and all other options are not working out either. many brexiteers are uncomfortable with the current form the backstop is taking. the prime minister turned to just that issue this morning. speaking to john humphreys just that issue this morning. speaking tojohn humphreys on the bbc‘s today programme... i think there are questions about how decisions are taken as to whether we go into the backstop, that goes that isn't an automatic. 0h... no, i'vejust said, that is not automatic. if we get to the point where we need to have an arrangement to make sure we have this guarantee, we are guaranteeing this commitment to the people of northern ireland that there is no hard border between northern ireland and ireland, the point at which that
9:03 pm
at which that would be necessary, if it happens, is with the future relationship which we are negotiating the legal text stuff. you said it was a bit legalistic. it is legalistic in one sense, but we can't do that legal text negotiation till after we've left. so if that hasn't completed by the end of december 2020, we need this continued guarantee for people in northern ireland for an interim period. the question is, do we go into the backstop, do we extend what's i called the implementation period... it's come known as a transition period. so in other words... this decision has to be taken at that point in time. 0h. and what we negotiated is that actually it is for the uk to choose which of those we want to go into. alex forsyth is left with us. help me out. this is the prime minister and suggesting not just me out. this is the prime minister and suggesting notjust the prime minister at the time the parliament did have some say as to whether the uk triggers that backstop option. yes. in the current agreement and
9:04 pm
has been negotiated with the eu. there is a choice and it works like this. the uk we've the eu on march 29 2019 and singles into a transition or implementation period, where nothing really changes. the idea being that during that time the eu and the uk will sort out a future trade deal. the hope is from the government's perspective that the trade deal could be resolved within that transition period. so there's only one change for businesses. however it's that doesn't happen what the eu demanded was this backstop. that would mean that if a trade deal isn't in place at the end of the transition, there would not be hard border on the island of ireland because the uk would then be ina single ireland because the uk would then be in a single customs territory with the eu. if you are still following. is that arrangement that nobody really likes the conservative party and labourand really likes the conservative party and labour and liberal democrats are all saying that the we the uk to closely tied to the eu. however in that deal there is a choice. the uk cameron erving going to be backstop, choose to extend that transition period. theresa may is saying that
9:05 pm
she would want parliament to have a say in that. she is "wait some of the mps that don't like that backstop idea so they're going to vote on the deal because of it, that she could bring around on—side. quickly after that suggesting they we re quickly after that suggesting they were saying that is not good enough and it still does not our concerns. so despite her best efforts at this point, it is still looking like she has got a real fight on her hands to get that deal through parliament. stay with us please. the backstop is one issue and the economic consequences of brexit is another. we have heard from both the government and the main opposition. first of all here's the chancellor of exchequer, the finance minister philip hammond earlier on in the comments. desk, once. mr speaker, i have observed this process at close quarters for two and a half years and i'm actually clear about one thing — this deal is the best deal to exit the eu that is available or that is going to be available. the idea that there is an option of renegotiating at the 11th hour is simply a delusion.
9:06 pm
here's philip hammond's opposition counterpart john mcdonnell. i just say this, the government threatening members with a prospect of a no—deal brexit to engender support for its own deal serves only to reveal and desperation in government. yes. if i may... and it is proving to be completely counterproductive. this is a report published by the confederation of british industry today — the cbi is a lobbying organisation for uk businesses. it suggests that a smooth exit next year would lead to steady economic growth over the next two years. but the cbi director general says no deal would "blow these figures out of the water, severely hurting businesses, jobs and living standards." here's one opposition labour mp on her concerns. the government is asking this house to vote for a deal
9:07 pm
that its own analysis shows will make us poorer, with gdp falling by 3.5% and every region being made worse off. for our economy, it is clearly a worse deal and it is a worse deal than we already have. if we go back to you, and was mr one of the curiosities of this debate is a lot of people did not vote for brexit on purely economic times. a lot of people did not vote for brexit on purely economic timeslj think that is pretty much becomes an system is mr. there has been an awful lot of analysis about why people voted the way they did. it is very ha rd to people voted the way they did. it is very hard to pin it down, but i think that certainly immigration played a factor, the idea about sovereignty, about the uk having to make control over its laws. that is why we have heard that refrain from theresa may time and time again. she says this deal that she is putting forward delivers on the referendum result in the way that she thinks people voted. that is control of money, laws and borders. howeveras
9:08 pm
we have seen in parliament during the course of the brexit debate over the course of the brexit debate over the last few days, brexiteers are farfrom the last few days, brexiteers are far from convinced. they the last few days, brexiteers are farfrom convinced. they think her deal in fact does not deliver on the referendum result, but lisa is tied to the eu without enough say over the uk's on feature. future. that is why she is still trying to convince so why she is still trying to convince so many in her own party to get behind her. that is why when parliament does come to vote on this next tuesday, the result is looking farfrom certain. next tuesday, the result is looking far from certain. given that it is far from certain. given that it is farfrom certain, let me finish far from certain. given that it is far from certain, let me finish with a little bit of a curveball for you here. if there is a no vote that goes against the prime minister, how many different possibilities are we looking at in terms of the different circumstances that could play out? this is the game you're playing and was mr talking to be different possible outcomes. i would get it down to five. i think the first option is that she could wave it off and try and attempt to go back to brussels even though the eu said there's not much wiggle room, sit to try and get something else on them and bring it back for a second in parliament. it could be a vote of
9:09 pm
no—confidence in the prime minister about her own party. it could be a vote of confidence against the government by labour. it could be a push for another general election by labour or push for another general election by labourora push for another general election by labour or a call for another referendum. my recommended as five. i'm sure others will say there's an awful lot more. thank you very much. if you're watching and despite our best efforts we have not covered all the distance and queries you have. go to the bbc news website or the app and there is a vast swathe of useful information on the terms we use, the processes at play. as well as the personalities and the politics. bbc .com/ news is the address. next we are to talk about my button. —— talk about huawei. this is mung wan—jo. she's the chief financial officer of the of chinese telecom giant huawei —
9:10 pm
she's also the daughter of its founder. well, she's been arrested in vancouver in canada and is facing extradition to the us. we're not clear what charges she may face. the new york times is reporting saying the us has subpoenaed huawei over suspected violation of sanctions against iran and north korea. in the past, us senators have express concern that huawei's technology could be used by china to spy on the west. now, chinese embassy in canada has responded, saying this has "seriously harmed the human rights of the victim". and this is the chinese foreign ministry. translation: i can't discuss the details of this case here, but what i can so you is that after learning about it we've made solid representations to canada and the us. we've demanded that both parties immediately clarify the reasons for this detention, and that they immediately release the detainee to protect that person's legal rights. huawei is huge. it has 180,000 employees. and this year it overtook apple and became the second largest smartphone maker in the world — that's in terms of market share. samsung's number one by the way. it also wants to help build the global 5g mobile network — including here in the uk.
9:11 pm
now before i talk to michelle fleury, i also want to note that the dowjones stock index fell sharply today. so michelle, i guess the question is — are the two connected? us concerns about security risks poised by chinese tech firms have been one of the central sticking point or points of tension between the two countries for a while now. you can understand in some ways the sensitivity on the chinese side, but you can also perhaps not surprisingly view these as sort of an ongoing advancing of us interests by the part of the trumpet administration. to do this in context view, huawei you mentioned isa context view, huawei you mentioned is a big tech firms. it is an influential company and china. it makes network gear and on the technology front you talk about 5g
9:12 pm
which will take our computer networks and smart all faster when it comes to transferring data in the future, huawei is a key player in that. that is why the us is so concerned and they have been for a while not lobbying other countries try to persuade them not necessarily to adopt the technology used by huawei because they see it as a security risk. in terms of that 5g network, the people were simply interested in a being here as quickly as possible and a being as as possible, actually huawei spent so as possible, actually huawei spent so much money in developing this technology, there are not a host of other options. you're right. they are indeed. this company has spent, the sheer size of the number of people that have working his huge, they have been very good at getting patents recognised so that they are very much a leader in this field will stop some of the other players, nokia, ctu which is another chinese firm but outside of china you're looking at nokia, ericsson, cisco is the other key players. they're considered in the tech industry as
9:13 pm
being much further behind. companies and countries are left with choices between balancing security worries with the desire for a more efficient network. thank you very much indeed. here's the state—run global times in china — it accuses the us of trying "to finish huawei." certainly tens of thousands of weibo users in china are discussing ms mung's arrest. 0ne user got more than 1000 likes for this comment... "any suppression of chinese industry must be resisted," and it called for a boycott of us products, including apple. jao—yin fung in washington... how much is huawei's business tied to the government? good question. the us has continuously accused huawei of
9:14 pm
working on behalf of the chinese government. the company has insisted that it has no ties to my ties with beijing. —— no ties with beijing. we do know for sure that the founder and president of huawei was also the father of the detainee, he retired as an engineer from the liberation army of china in the early 805. he was also a party member, once elected to be national congre55 was also a party member, once elected to be national congress of the chinese communist party. do you think we should see this story in the context of the broader trade we re the context of the broader trade were between china and america? definitely. the arrest took place at a very sensitive timing for us and china relations. the two countries have just reached a 90 day deal in
9:15 pm
argentina and the 40th anniversary of the two countries establishing a5 diplomatic ties. al5o around the corner. approaching on the 1st of january next year. chinese are usually big on anniversary so beijing hope to have a peaceful atmosphere to welcome the anniversary and given the sensitive timing of these arre5t5, beijing is likely to view this as a provocative action taken by the us. it is not only an attack against huawei, but al5o only an attack against huawei, but also an attack against the whole country of china. please come back very soon. thank you. if you agree 01’ very soon. thank you. if you agree orare very soon. thank you. if you agree or are thinking where's the screen. i'm afraid it is there but it is cracked up. i am hoping temporarily, but for the moment it is not working 5o but for the moment it is not working so we will continue without it. in a few minutes' time we will talk about tom cruise. he posted a video to his million5 tom cruise. he posted a video to his millions of twitter followers saying there is a problem without hdtv works. we're also to talk about
9:16 pm
rwanda. a high—profile human rights campaigner has been released. we we re campaigner has been released. we were not expecting that. this is 0ut5ide source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is... downing street has been saying there will be no change to be planned vote on tuesday. something your conservatives are saying there a few days might be useful to gauge support for the deal. the government in burundi has given the un human rights council two months to shut its office in the country. this comes after the outgoing un right5 chief called the country one of the "most prolific 5laughterhouse5 of humans in recent times". the authorities strongly deny the allegation. bbc afrique. the us says it's flown a plane over ukraine, to reaffirm its commitment to the country's 5ecurity.

that's a response to this incident last month when russia seized three ukrainian naval vessels in the black sea. the pentagon said something called the open skies treaty permits unarmed surveillance flights. bbc ru55ian. this space x rocket was returning to the landing zone in florida having delivered its payload in orbit when it started spinning. so its guidance systems took it into the ocean, you can see it hovering briefly before it splashes down. it's the first time one of elon musk‘s falcon nine rockets has failed to land on solid ground, this appears to be a major ruling for freedom of speech from wanda. diane rwigara is celebrating her acquittal. she spoke afterwards.
9:18 pm
we saw the verdict. yeah. i'm very happy we have been cleared of all the charges. go back to october — diane rwigara and her mother had already spent a year in prison — and went on trial for criticising the government. she'd planned to run against president paul kagame in the 2017 election. that didn't happen. instead she was arrested on charges she said were politcally motivated. anne soy, is in nairobi. well, all diane rwigara maintained that the accusations of allegedly motivated, her supporters believe that the case was weak. but considering all that she has gone through since last year when she declared her interest to challenge the president in the presidential election, they didn't really know what to expect. and so this came as a surprise to many people. the ministry ofjustice has said that it is studying that cultural link, that it respects the courts,
9:19 pm
but also that it sent a warning to what they call external actors who are trying to inappropriately influence the justice system in rwanda. and this is in reference to the politicians, especially from the us government from the united states and human rights groups that have been calling on the couts to drop the charges against diane rwigara. she said this is a beginning for her, her political career has not ended, it has onlyjust begun. if you use the 02 phone network or the softbank network injapan you may have had an unsatisfactory day because 3g and 4g services have largely not been working. the problems for the companies behind it. i've seen these things happened before.

if you're heading out to the far east anytime soon you really will need to take very warm clothing. it is going to get a significant cold spell across as part of the world throughout the weekend. a very cold arctic air pouring south of via siberia and mongolia, bringing this cold air to much ofjapan. the korean peninsula and a good swathe of china as well. and it encounters the main fronts across southern china and southern japan where we are seeing quite a bit of rain quite a bit of rain the moment, a starting to turn it readily to snow. we could be looking at prolonged and disruptive snow through central and eastern china saturday on into sunday. and plenty of heavy frequent snow showers moving in on a strong northwesterly wind across the japan sea, into much of northern and western japan were over the high ground we could see more than a metre of snow by the time the weekend is out. some of this is could be quite
9:26 pm
disruptive in shanghai for saturday and sunday. stay tuned to the forecast. for the winter storm as well, across the great lakes through wednesday and thursday. that should eventually clear away on friday. with a big area of high pressure building in. to end the week here, it should be cold for at least dry and bright with some sunshine. then we turn our attention for the end of the week into the weekend to southern portions of the united states. this area of low pressure has brought some pretty to southern california and baja california as it continues its way eastward. as it moves across the deep south of the gulf coast, it is likely to do more as a pick—up warm and humid air of the gulf of mexico. some of these could be violent thunderstorms. northern encounters cold air but could see some very heavy snow through the central plains. quite a mix of weather going on there into the weekend. closer to home, we have got our own area of low pressure which will be pretty disruptive on friday. we think with a swathe of very strong winds expected just north of northern ireland. and into western scotland.
9:27 pm
60—70 mph gust. the blustery day pretty much across the board, that would've front clears to taking the heavy rain across into the near continent. it will be a wet afternoon for parts of france and the low country. as it moves into scandinavia and encounters the cold air could see some heavy snow at times too. but notice the temperature difference on friday from west to east, where we have got further snow across eastern europe. mid—teens celsius for the west. it looks that it will stay pretty mild across our shores for the next few days. but then we start to tap into that cold across eastern europe, which will begin to pick up an easterly wind into an area of high pressure which will establish itself over scandinavia. for the next few days, it looks like it will be mild with rain at times. windy particularly on saturday. then from sunday onwards, it looks like it is going to start turning colder for all of this. stay tuned to this channel for a full uk weather forecast in half an hour. hello, i'm ros atkins,
9:28 pm
this is outside source. the british prime minster‘s office insists next tuesday's vote on theresa may's brexit deal will go ahead — despite calls from some of her own mp5 for a delay. beijing has demanded the immediate release of a senior executive from the chinese tech giant huawei, who was arrested in canada. united—nations brokered peace talks for yemen are under way in sweden. the meeting is the first between the rival factions for two years. and we'll be finding out why tom cruise has been posting videos — making what people are calling a public service announcement — to get us to adjust our television sets. peace talks on the conflict in yemen have begun — there haven't been any for two years.
9:29 pm
and a reminder of why they're so urgently needed. children are particularly affected. the un believes up to 85,000 children under five have died of starvation since the war started four years ago. then there's the conflict itself potentially if things worsen further, wicked to the worst famine that has been on earth first century. let us hearfrom that has been on earth first century. let us hear from the envoy. there's been no doubt that yemen's future, the countries institutions are at risk, the fragmentation of the country is an enormous concern and we must act now before we lose control of the future of macro to. dash
9:30 pm
it is an important, do not waiver, none of us waiver. at this week's peace talks we have the un, the rebels and the government. lyse doucet is there... hugely important to get momentum between two sites but there is absolutely no trust. it has been a very instructive, divisive war, but this is the first time in two years that these sites have found it within themselves to come and sit around the same table to begin to talk to each other about the issues that matter so much, and they needed, as you're talking about a moment ago as confidence building measures. they wanted some of their injured, taken out of yemen, that happened and both sides agreed that they would release hundreds of
9:31 pm
prisoners and that been, you do not know how much that matters, so many families have suffered so terribly in this conflict. but it is up to the two sites to actually get to the business of trying to sort out what a future piece looks like an yemen as it moves away for more. it is ha rd to as it moves away for more. it is hard to square what happens here in the swedish countryside, and the castles a nd the swedish countryside, and the castles and what is happening thousands of miles away in the country yemen, set to be literally on the brink of collapse and the worst famine on the brink of collapse and the worstfamine in on the brink of collapse and the worst famine in the last century. yet delegations here bickering, that the delegation almost walked out because they said that they had brought more people to the talks in sweden than they had brought. they resolved that, but the measure of how both sides are going at this, picking apart every single item, even though every day longer without
9:32 pm
a peace agreement is a day too bar for the people of yemen. the french government says it fears "major violence" in paris on saturday. here's the prime minister. the government will use exceptional measures in the security force members deployed across france. we will bring justice to those who are committing crimes and would take a tough stance. we will fight the hatred that is being expressed at such an incredible level of violence. the government is particularly worried about the capital paris, where a planned rally will go ahead. according to french media, mr philippe will decide on saturday whether to deploy armoured vehicles to clear roads if barricades are erected. that hasn't happened since 1968. the government is considering mobilising the military to protect important national monuments — and the eiffel tower
9:33 pm
is going to be closed on saturday. our paris correspondent is hugh schofield. here's his assessment of the situation. there is an awful lot of trepidation, an awful lot of questioning and maybe the government is set, they're trying to scare mongering and to discourage people from turning up and saying there's a real threat violence, the quote is quite scary. it says that there are thousands of people we saw coming to paris this weekend due to smash and kill, that is a statement from them. to which some people say, really? maybe they're just trying to discourage people from coming. but no, we have to keep this in context and the context is a very tense situation in which there are groups
9:34 pm
of people from the far left in the far right who have shown that they wa nt to far right who have shown that they want to graft themselves onto this movement and their agenda is causing trouble they want trouble and reaction from the police, they want overreaction from the police and i'm sure they'll be out there on saturday doing that. what worries me on sunday that the police, and the riot police of that two is of being run ragged by these protesters are going to be unsafe —— on different orders, and they are allowing the protesters that the street, word is that orders will be different this time the adobe told to go out and catch people and stop people gathering. if that happens, the threat of head—to—head with the revolutionary protesters becomes very real and the chances of violence i have to say a very strong indeed. on bbc news channel
9:35 pm
the man in the middle here is philip wilson, a former catholic archbishop in australia. he's had his conviction for concealing child abuse quashed. this was a hugely high profile case. back in may, he'd become the world's most senior catholic cleric to be convicted of covering up sexual abuse. but he consistently denied knowing that paedophile priest james patrick fletcher had abused boys in the 19705. the catholic archdiocese of adelaide released this statement on its website. to come discerns with on this decision is that it is highly unlikely despite the findings of the royal commission, despite the hearings and billions of dollars spent and the discovery that hundreds of these institutions and people with in them were doing the wrong thing, that nobody will be held to account. considering the child sex abuse. why has the conviction been quashed? so, the decision was overturned by
9:36 pm
an appeals court, the judge said that mr wilson, there was reasonable doubt that he actually have been told about this particular case of abuse which occurred in south wales in the 19705. and the decision, the judge also said that there were reasonable doubt about the crown‘s case as well as the fact that wilson was an extremely reliable and incredible witness, and that the abuse survivors testament was inconsistent, so this effectively overturned what mr wilson was currently serving. is this the end of the process? it is not the end of the matter, they will appeal this decision and not top of that after seeing abuse survivors still be following the case closely, if anything, this makes them even more determined to bring people to justice. what's the reaction been? yes, they have welcomed the decision
9:37 pm
but of course, abuse survivors are incredibly upset and described the verdict is extremely painful and one called out during the courts verdict that it was a disgrace. so of course it is in the context of the five—year commission into child sexual abuse in churches around the country, it is an extremely emotional story and if anything, it really shows that australia is still grappling with dozens and dozens of cases of historic accusations and if anything, advocates will be distressed to see this verdict as potentially dissuading victims to come forward and tell their story. stay with us on outside source — still to come. back to one village where he reported during the ebola outbreak to see how people are recovering and rebuilding their lives. youtube has deleted thousands of videos in the wake of a bbc
9:38 pm
investigation into how essay writing companies are promoting and advertising academic cheating on social media platforms. our education editor bra nwen jeffreys reports. it's morally wrong and i'm not sad that my videos got deleted. i think it's just odd that they just asked somebody like me, not knowing what their real intentions were to promote this to this to such a young and gullible audience. after our investigation seven months ago, thousands of videos were deleted. but edubirdie and 13 other companies are placing ads on youtube, snap chat... and i also don't condone cheating in any sort of way but... swipe up, right now, they'll help you do as a... and we have learned facebook and google are making money from selling essay ads.

facebook has deleted those we drew to their attention. if you wash your hair too much your scalp... more than a million people followed joe's channel, no wonder edubirdie wanted him. joe, what was your initial reaction you got the approach from edubirdie? it was really simple to me, i was not about to take on a sponsorship that was clearly promoting cheating. the company told us that its essays were just for reference, ghost writing for the digital age. since we told you to put a few days ago, thousands more since we told youtube a few days ago, thousands more videos have been removed. these are key influencers and for the benefit of society, they need to take responsibility. youtube and snap that say users report these ads, google didn't respond about paid efforts, the youtube is, they told us our videos were a parody,
