palace. look at it, all lit up the festive season. the weather is pretty cold across scotland and northern ireland, frosty as well. milder elsewhere but it will still feel cold if you are hanging around. cloudierfor most of feel cold if you are hanging around. cloudier for most of us but there is some brightness in the east. we will have more details in 15 minutes. it monday 10 december. good morning. our top story: a man has appeared in court in new zealand charged with the murder of the british backpacker grace millane. the 26—year—old, who has the right not to be identified under new zealand law, has been remanded in custody. the country's prime minister, jacinda ardern, has given a tearful apology to grace's family. chi chi izundu has the overnight developments. it was a date no parent expects to face, a court date with the man accused of murdering their daughter. david mullane, grace's father, did just that. the family's presence in

court did not go unnoticed either judge, who said their grief must be desperate. the 26—year—old man accused of killing grace, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is due backin be named for legal reasons, is due back in court next month. court documents showed he had been living at the city life hotel in central auckland, the last placed grace was seen alive. the court also heard how police believe the university of lincoln graduate was killed between one and two december. this is where the body believed to be grace's was found, ten metres of the countryside road inside the city. she was on a year—long round—the—world trip and had been in new zealand for two weeks. last night in essex, people gathered to remember the lovely, outgoing, fun loving 22—year—old, has described by her family. new zealand's prime minister shinawatra, jacinda ardern, was visibly moved by the case. on behalf of new zealand, i want to apologise to grace's family. your daughter should have

been safe here, and she wasn't, and i'm sorry for that. i've advised the family through the police that, if there is anything we can do to assist, we are here to help with that. and this from grace's brother, declan, posting pictures on his facebook page alongside the lyrics to you are my sunshine, highlighting the unbearable time for the millane family. just one day before the commons vote on brexit, theresa may is embarking on a final push to win over wavering tory mps. she will hold a series of private meetings with backbenchers to try to limit the scale of the rebellion. she is also under pressure to delay the vote, in the hope that she can win some eu concessions. let's get the latest from our political correspondent chris mason. everything is still up in the air, isn't it? it is, it is four weeks ago this morning i was sitting in

this very chair and talking about how i didn't have the foggiest idea what was going to happen next. i tell you what, the mist has not cleared up very much in the last month. let's start this week as we like to on monday with a brexit timeline, our best guess as to how things could go in the coming days. as you say we are not 100% certain this vote will go ahead tomorrow. what will happen today is there will be further debate of the prime minister's eu withdrawal deal, and that will continue tomorrow. as things stand, a vote is scheduled for tomorrow evening. the vote starting around 7pm at night. but, if, and let's say that if, if the vote goes ahead and if as is widely expected it does and the government loses, there is then, set down in procedure, 21 days for the government to come back with an alternative plan. if you do your sums, that is new year's day. in all

likelihood they would come back much sooner likelihood they would come back much sooner than that. there would be further bums on the road for the prime minister, assuming the current prime minister, assuming the current prime minister, assuming the current prime minister is still the prime minister at this stage, because the house of commons has tweaked the procedure to ensure mps get a say on steering the course of brexit if the prime minister's deal is rejected. and whatever happens in the next couple of months, currently scheduled, our departure from the european union on 29 march 2019 at 11pm at night, that is a friday night. now, you know, things in politics are a little bit fruity and just a little bit bumpy. when you are opening the 10th door of your advent calendar you are into double figures, and you can't say with 100% certainty who will be prime minister on christmas day. that is definitely fruity and bumpy. thank you very much. meanwhile, the european court ofjustice will rule this morning if the uk could stop brexit without permission from the other eu countries.

our reporter adam fleming is in luxembourg. hopefully you also have an advent calendar, but depending on what happens with this, what sort of difference could that make the discussions? so this case has been brought to the european court of justice via the scottish court by a group of msp ‘s, meps and mps from the uk and they think it could make a big difference in voting on the deal tomorrow, because they think remaining in the eu with the uk's membership unchanged is a real option, and i think they are glad that we are talking at all about brexit being a process which could be reversed. they made the case a couple of weeks ago in hearing, that if you had the situation where a country changed its mind about leaving the eu but needed all 27 other countries to approve it, you could have a situation where that was locked and the country ended up having to be forced out against its

will. last week the court's chief legal adviser, a guy called the advocate general, said he agreed with that and that is the argument thejudges should with that and that is the argument the judges should follow. if the judges follow that when they released their argument in a few hours' time, the anti— brexit campaigners will be happy, the eu will be worried about the uncertainty creates in the future, and the uk government would be really annoyed because they say that this is all hypothetical and they have no intention of reversing brexit. and this evening, there is a special programme on the eve of that crucial vote in parliament. that is brexit: decision time, on bbc one at 8:30pm. high street retailers suffered their worst november for almost a decade, with shoppers spending their money online instead. the british retail consortium says black friday deals on the internet made a difficult year for shops even worse. the decline in sales at the tills is expected to continue throughout the christmas period. the uk has more prisoners serving life sentences than any other country in europe, according to a report by the prison reform

trust. it found britishjails housejust over 8,500 life—sentence inmates — more than france, germany and italy combined. along with turkey, the uk accounts for two thirds of europe's life—sentence prison population. the reason that we have so many life sentence prisoners is that we don't distinguish in the country between different types of murder. so in most countries if you have preplanned a killing you will be sentenced in a different way to if you haven't. in this country that is left entirely down to the court to say the minimum period that you must spendin say the minimum period that you must spend in prison, but you are liable to be recalled to prison for the rest of your life, and what's changed is that those minimum periods have almost doubled in the 15 years since parliament passed the legislation in question. ministers from around 130 countries are gathering in poland for the final week of the un climate change conference. negotiators have been trying to agree on how to fulfil commitments to cut carbon dioxide

heard fans racially abusing him from the stands. the papers have been covering that this morning and the premier league says anyone racially abusing any of its players deserve to be punished. manchester city striker raheem sterling was allegedly abused by fans in saturday's defeat at chelsea. sterling said afterwards on social media that newspapers help to fuel racism in the way they portray black footballers. he pointed out the differences in tabloid reporting of how black and white players spend their wages. interesting to hear from interesting to hearfrom him because it isa interesting to hearfrom him because it is a subject we have heard him speak about before. we will be hearing from john barnes later. speak about before. we will be hearing from john barnes laterlj will hearing from john barnes later.|j will be interested to hear what he has to say. ronnie 0'sullivan won the uk snooker championship for a record seventh time, giving him 19 world, uk and masters trophies. he surpassed stephen hendry‘s record in the triple crown events with his victory over mark allen in york. the crisis at newcastle united continues, after a late wolves winner condemns them to seven defeats from their opening nine home games of the season.

will know about it. it is a chilly start. you can see what i'm talking about. the east will be dry and bright with sunshine to start the day. there will be cloud from the word go across northern ireland. through the day that cloud will push further east, into western fringes of the uk. so western scotland, north—west england, wales and south—west england, and it will be thick enough for the odd spot — western scotland for example, north—west england, the irish sea areas are where we are likely to see that. temperatures nothing to write home about, four degrees in the north, 12 degrees in the south—west. through the evening at overnight the cloud in the west is going to continue its journey moving eastwards, not getting into past of eastwards, not getting into past of east —— parts of england and east anglia, here they will be lower at freezing or just below. anglia, here they will be lower at freezing orjust below. whereas our to the west, we are looking at temperatures a little bit higher, but again it's winter, it won't feel warm if you're hanging around in the middle of the night waiting to get

to work or something. as we head through the course of tomorrow that will —— it will make it to the east. the odd pocket will hang on to some sunshine. the cloud will be thick enough to produce a murky conditions, some dampness, some drizzle, that kind of thing, and temperatures similar to today. by the time we get to wednesday, there isa the time we get to wednesday, there is a bit more of the same, there will be a fair bit of cloud around, there will be some bright breaks here and there and then you can see some rainjust waiting in here and there and then you can see some rain just waiting in the wings coming in from the west. after that, the forecast changes a little bit and for some of us it could turn a bit cold, but i'll tell you more about that as we go through the course of the morning, steph and dan. so gorgeous, and you look super cute in your scarf, i love it, i just want to give you a hug. they are mittens. is there some elastic that goes up one arm and down the other? dan, if i told you yes, would you be shocked? not really. thank

off. we are running out of space in landfill. we need to recycle more. inside most crisp packets is a silvery film that's made of plastic. it keeps the crisps fresh but it is ha rd to recycle. it keeps the crisps fresh but it is hard to recycle. crisp packets have been found intact after 33 years. so, campaigners say that if nothing is done, in 33 years' time there will be 200 billion of them in landfill and in the ocean. why has it taken so long for a major manufacturer like yourselves to embrace recycling in this way? crisp packets have been challenging to recycle. within our current waste system, both in terms of collecting them and segregating them, and then giving them a market. we have a target by 2025 for all of our packaging to be recyclable, compost a bull or biodegradable. however, thatis a bull or biodegradable. however, that is proving a really difficult challenge to crack. some campaigners have been so exasperated they have

been putting crisp packets in postboxes addressed to manufacturers. this scheme will allow people to download a free post label so packets can be returned officially as long as they are in an envelope. they will end up at this site near blackburn. the process for crisp packets is we shred it, we wash it, we try it and we either turnit wash it, we try it and we either turn it into flakes, or into pellets and they can be turned into outdoor furniture that is weather resistant, picnic tables, park benches, fenceposts, garden paving, a whole host of things. this campaigner geraint ashcroft is credited with forcing crisp manufacturers into action, his petition received 300,000 signatures. even if you only ta ke 300,000 signatures. even if you only take 10% of crisp packets from landfill, 10% is still1 million packets a day. launched by walkers, this scheme will accept packaging from any brand of crisp. for many, it is long overdue. tim muffet, bbc

a country which welcomes thousands of backpackers every month. her father, david, came to the court here in auckland today, as the man accused of killing his daughter was formally charged with her murder. as the hearing began, the judge addressed the family, saying that he simply didn't know what to say to them. he knew their grief would be desperate. he said that he hoped that justice would be fair, swift and, ultimately, give them peace. now, grace was last seen alive just around the corner, at an apartment building here in the city centre. we understand that is where the 26—year—old man had been living. he can't be named for formal legal reasons. he'll appear in court again next month. in another part of the city, the investigation is continuing. her body was found on the outskirts of auckland, in a woodland, about 10 metres from the road. the police believe her body may have been transferred using a red hire car, so they're still going through cctv material.

later this week, a vigil will be led in the city centre, as people come together here to gather their thoughts and remember grace. theresa may is embarking on a final push to win over wavering tory mps, just one day before a crucial commons vote on her brexit plan. she will hold a series of private meetings with backbenchers to try to limit the scale of the rebellion. she is also under pressure to delay the vote in the hope that she can win some concessions from the eu. meanwhile, the european court ofjustice will rule this morning if the uk could stop brexit without permission from the other eu countries. the move would be a boost for opponents of brexit, but it would worry the eu, which fears it might create endless uncertainty. the british government says it is a hypothetical question because it has no intention of staying in. high street retailers suffered their worst november for almost a decade, with shoppers spending their money online instead. the british retail consortium says black friday deals on the internet made a difficult year for shops even worse. the decline in sales at the tills is expected to continue throughout the christmas period.

there have been together. —— he loves her an awful lot. every single wife or girlfriend around the world was watching this, when he walked into the camp, he stopped for a moment and sorted out the hair on the back of her head, before she met his other camp mates. they walked in together. that was the moment he won it. he was so lovely. it was funny what he was saying about being a football manager, and being quite lonely doing thatjob. football manager, and being quite lonely doing that job. you assume they will be loved. no powells in thatis they will be loved. no powells in that is this. —— pals. you have to tell a lot of players they are dropped. i like the quote where he said he doesn't mind dealing with

snakes, he has dealt with plenty of snakes, he has dealt with plenty of snakes in football. a worthy winner, and some tricky scenes in the premier league. talking about raheem sterling and a post he put on social media, scenes we should not be seeing now, and he says it happens all the time. and he has pointed a finger at the press and the tone of the coverage. and it is about the tone rather than the specifics. it is so difficult, for him to read a newspaper article about one footballer buying a house for his mum and a white football are doing the same thing and how they are treated quite differently. the premier league says anyone found to have been racially abusing one of its players deserves to be punished. manchester city striker raheem sterling was allegedly abused by fans in saturday's defeat at chelsea. sterling said afterwards on social media that newspapers help to fuel racism in the way they portray black footballers. he pointed out the differences in tabloid reporting of how black and white players spend their wages. chelsea and the meropolitan police

are investigating the allegations. what the last couple of weeks has highlighted is it's still very much there, even though some people have thought it was gone. and it is sad that these couple of weeks these things have come to light. but we need to stamp it out, strong punishment needs to be taken, that you can't get away with this sort of thing anymore. and i think — notjust in football, but when you look across that, diversity is needed in all different forms, to educate, to stop these things, these incidents, happening. the trouble at newcastle united continues, as they suffered their seventh home defeat of the season, losing 2—1 to wolves. having gone behind early, rafa benitez‘s side equalised through ayoze perez. reduced to ten men after deandre yedlin's red card, they couldn't cling on for a draw.

matt doherty with the wolves' winner deep into injury time. rangers are second in the scottish premiership after their 1—1 draw at dundee. kenny miller put dundee ahead, before nathan ralph was sent off for dangerous foul play. andy halliday equalised from the resulting free kick. the draw moves dundee off the bottom. ronnie 0'sullivan has won the uk snooker championship for a record seventh time. it was his 15th triple crown title, beating stephen hendry‘s previous record, after beating mark allen in york. i played very well today, you know, and it took a while to convince myself. amazing to beat my hero's record, stephen hendry, and i still

have eight world titles to get, but iam have eight world titles to get, but i am chasing that one, but that is another thing altogether. now, we hadn't planned on showing you the men's under—23s from the european cross country championships, but this was too good to miss. watch as frenchmanjimmy gressier, defends his title in a unique way, to the surprise of commentator steve cram. jimmy gressier in fine style, coming away to win the gold medal, to oh! jimmy,jimmy,jimmy. away to win the gold medal, to oh! jimmy, jimmy, jimmy. whatare away to win the gold medal, to oh! jimmy, jimmy, jimmy. what are you doing? his big moment, and he fluffed it. everyone cheering, slow motion, and do the big... 0h fluffed it. everyone cheering, slow motion, and do the big... oh no. celebrating winning the gold medal at the championships, a faceplant across the line. if you are not tiring of watching this... go on,

jimmy, slide in. oh. there is confidence and then there is overconfidence. it is a great metaphorfor this part is overconfidence. it is a great metaphor for this part of a new week. i will ease into the new week, hold on a minute. you would think that he was going to slide, given how wet it was. he was obviously thinking this would go horribly wrong. don't copy that at home. when nichola mcavoy was just 11 years old, she started to lose her hair. developing alopecia was a lonely experience until she found a friend also living with the condition. recognising the power of shared experiences and support, she has now launched an alopecia friend—finding app, the first of its kind. nichola joins us now. hello, lovely to have you on. thank

you for having me. so tell us about the experiences you had growing up that brought you to this time where you thought i need to help others who also have alopecia. so as you said it can be a really lonely experience losing your hair, there's not a lot of people who can really relate to what you are going through. so when i had my friend nicola growing up, it was so important we have each other, we shared the how eyes and lows, and somebody that knows exactly what you are going through is so powerful. so in terms of why i decided to create the app, it was all about creating an opportunity for other people as well. and has it been... how has it been received by people? have you got many people who have signed up to it? i have been so thrilled with the response so far. it seems like people are really interested in it, and engaged. we launched a pilot in the spring, we got amazing feedback, we launched in october so it has only been running for a couple of

months, but we have received amazing feedback from across the world. people are messaging saying thank you for doing it, so it is lovely. when you are losing your hair when you were younger, how did you react? were you wearing a hat all the time, we re were you wearing a hat all the time, were you embarrassed by it? so it was quite a gradual process, and eventually i asked my mum to shave it off, because it was quite traumatic, the process of losing hair. andi traumatic, the process of losing hair. and i wore the same hat for about a year, not that one, a pink one which was hideous. and i didn't wa nt to one which was hideous. and i didn't want to change it, because i didn't wa nt want to change it, because i didn't want people to notice a change again, but then i've eventually started wearing wigs, and now i don't wear wigs at all. do you think this is also helping other people to understand, who don't have alopecia, what it is like for you? do you mean kind of doing the interviews? yes. yes, so i think if a new product comes out that excites people outside of the alopecia space, in the tax base, the social enterprise space, which is the model i am

using, then people are going to sit up using, then people are going to sit up and notice alopecia where it hasn't been before. because there are charities out there, but we need more support behind it. and it is still sort of really misunderstood, isn't it? scientists still don't really know, and there are all sorts of theories about what causes it. yes, it is not super well researched, and there are other diseases that take precedence, and i com pletely diseases that take precedence, and i completely understand. i think the thing we need to look more into is the psychological impact it can have, and why is it that people think that alopecia is so strange, and women and men are expected to look a certain way, and it is actually very frustrating, because it is not so crazy that... it is not, you know, such a big thing, i don't think. which of course touches on broader societal issues as well. did you intended to be dating out, orjust a friendly did you intended to be dating out, or just a friendly avenue, did you intended to be dating out, orjust a friendly avenue, and how has it panned out? has it turned out to bea has it panned out? has it turned out to be a bit ofa has it panned out? has it turned out to be a bit of a dating up as well? iam not to be a bit of a dating up as well? i am not sure. it is supposed be

just forfriendships, purely, i am not sure. it is supposed be just for friendships, purely, but men and women are both on, it is people around the world, all different types of alopecia as well, and you can search by interest. so it isa and you can search by interest. so it is a bit different to a dating out, but it is how can people get involved? go to the website and then there are links on google play and the app store. we are on social media, so you can see where to get the app. are on social media, so you can see where to get the applj are on social media, so you can see where to get the app. i know that you started losing your hair when you started losing your hair when you were 11 years old. and the age range, you have to be 18? you do. if there are families watching this morning, and they think, my child can't go on there, what is available so that they can i suppose find people who are going through the same thing they are going through?” developed a version of it for pa rents developed a version of it for parents as well. if they have children under 18, particularly

youngsters, they can find other pa rents youngsters, they can find other parents locally so they have the opportunity to meet friends. you're thinking of everyone. i'm trying. such a good idea. thank you. thank you for coming on. really good to meet you as well. carol is at hampton court palace, in surrey, with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. where is she? good morning. iam good morning. where is she? good morning. i am hair. good morning. where is she? good morning. iam hair. look at good morning. where is she? good morning. i am hair. look at it. good morning. where is she? good morning. iam hair. look at it. it is gorgeous. if we stay here long enough, you will notice it is changing colour, it is festive and it looks fabulous, it was built by cardinal wolseley, when he fell out with henry viii, to make amends he gifted hampton court palace to henry viii. so the next time we fall out i expect a palace, just saying. when it was built in its heyday it was deemed to be one of the finest leisure and sport complexes in the world. today it is still home to one

of the oldest tennis courts in the world. it is a chilly start, mind you, on the forecast, which is a largely dry one, with some cloud in the west. through the day, some of that will push to the east. you can see we have high pressure at rosyth at the moment. under clear skies, pa rt at the moment. under clear skies, part of scotland and northern england starting on a frosty mac high pressure across us at the moment. things are fairly settled today. the further east you are the more likely you are to see this weather. there is a weather front straddling part of the uk, producing a bit more cloud. the thickest cloud will be coming from the west. so if you're in northern ireland it will be cloudy from the word go and that will extend it to western scotland, north—west england, wales and south—west england through the course of the day. now, temperatures today ranging from about four in the north to highs of about 12 in the

south—west. through this evening and overnight, the cloud that we have will continue to move steadily towards the east and, rather like to date we will see spots of drizzle and the odd shower coming out of it as it does that. parts of north—east scotland, east anglia, they will remain under clear skies so it will be cold with temperatures around or below freezing. for the rest of us, they won't be as low, but nonetheless there is not going to be a heatwave tonight. tomorrow we start off on that note, a lot of cloud around, quite murky stuff or some of us as well, the cloud thickened off to produce some drizzle or the odd shower, some brightness though in the extremities of the east before the cloud arrives late on and temperatures very similarto late on and temperatures very similar to today. by the time we get to wednesday, not a huge amount of change, it will be fairly cloudy, there will be some brighter breaks, a little bit of sunshine here and there, but you can see more rain waiting in the wings to come in from the west. and temperatures again

very similar to what we are going to have in the next couple of days. so, i hope you were listening, dan and steph, and you hear what is going to happen when we next fallout. definitely know that there is wind waiting in the wings. what do you know, dan? i know everything, and hampton court looks gorgeous with the lighting behind you. yes, it looks beautiful. thank you. it is stunning, it is really lovely. see you ina stunning, it is really lovely. see you in a bit. in the build—up to one of the most important parliamentary votes in a generation, we've been getting out of westminster to get a sense of how people across the uk are feeling about brexit. chris mason was outside this morning in london for us. he said one of those things you can take away with you this morning. he said it is already into double figures on the advent calendar. what did he say? it feels fruity and bumpy and we still don't know who will be the prime minister on christmas day. yes, everything is up in the air.

businesses still have to carry on and deal with all of this uncertainty. today, sean's in holyhead, home to the passenger and lorry port connecting wales and ireland. it looks freezing. do you know what? you know how it feels, steph, sometimes in these locations. it is not too bad. i am not going to say i am nice and balmy, but the irish sea is looking beautiful, it is quite calm beneath the irish ferries, the cargo ferries, with 500 lorries coming through the portjust tonight overnight alone, and if you put them back to back, that would be three miles' worth of lorries, so it is a busy port. inaudible. 0h, sadly we have lost shaun, he was mid explainer, we will be back in

holyhead later on. we need to get him some lights as well.” holyhead later on. we need to get him some lights as well. i will tell you what, sean was about to tell us what the people of holyhead were saying. let's listen to what sean was going to show us that we can show you now. cani can i ask your question about obvious topic of the day, brexit? 0h, obvious topic of the day, brexit? oh, no, not brexit, no thanks. oh, i think it isjust a big muddle. i don't think it's what people voted for. i don't think they expected it to be so complicated. personally i would have gone for a crash out brexit, over the cliffjob, would have gone for a crash out brexit, overthe cliffjob, because i think it has dragged on log enough. we could have come out two years ago. we should have another referendum. i am not in for that. there has already been a referendum. i don't think we need another one. hal brexit plays out will be crucial to holyhead. you have the port with

2.7 million passengers and thousands of tons of cargo passing through every year. in the town on the other side of the bridge, one of the most deprived in the uk, received tens of millions of pounds of funding through the european union. people forget what it was like before we ever went in. i used to work on the docks. i know a bit about it. if we we re docks. i know a bit about it. if we were prepared to staff the borders properly, there is no good reason why holyhead wouldn't thrive as it did before. it was a much busier port than it is today back in the ‘605. port than it is today back in the '605. i port than it is today back in the '60s. i actually voted to leave. i honestly thought it was the right decision with the whole thing with the nhs. ithought decision with the whole thing with the nhs. i thought it was going to be stretched with the illegal immigrants and people coming over, you know. but i think, on reflection, it was the wrong decision. i don't think politicians have thought about the implications of it all. can i ask them how did you vote couple of years ago?” voted for brexit, yes. will you get

the kind of brexit you wanted? no, but we don't get what we want, do we, in politics, so no. it isjust so confusing, isn't it, i don't know what to think. i think everyone just wa nted what to think. i think everyone just wanted to come to a conclusion. how do you feel about everything they are doing at the minute? doing my head in. i will let you get on with your shopping. thank you, bye. so, huge range of views. it serves me right for saying it was calm this morning. we are back up and running. we have local business people this morning. alan and david. 0ther we have local business people this morning. alan and david. other than cold, how are you and holyhead, you know, you represent the local business forum, how is holyhead feeling at the moment? little disillusioned i would say because it has been going on such a long time, so many diverse views, people are fed up, to be honest, such a long period of not much happening and so

much uncertainty. people just want to see it finished. david, you run your own shellfish business and you voted to leave. so, two and a bit yea rs voted to leave. so, two and a bit years on, how are you feeling our? —— now? ? it seems to be a right mess. you know, all of my product goes to france and spain, 100% shellfish goes to france and spain. and, i mean, after brexit they will still want my product. how will it affect your business, do you think? i suppose it is going to make things more difficult in terms of transport. if there is no deal. but we have been there before. i transport. if there is no deal. but we have been there before. lam transport. if there is no deal. but we have been there before. i am sure the government will sort it out. the eu have got more to lose than our sighting. so they need to sort it

out, this transport system. that is pa rt out, this transport system. that is part of the debate going on at the moment, and we have the vote tomorrow. it was split almost 50—50 on anglesey, just slightly in favour to leave. how do you think now holyhead will react to the vote tomorrow? it's a difficult question tomorrow? it's a difficult question to answer, because most people are looking forward to christmas, they are looking at, you know, can they afford christmas, can they afford the bills, and then the port here is a major trade route, so on the street, most people are probably thinking about the vote tomorrow, but it is not a top priority. thank you forjoining us this morning. make sure you get a cup of tea. in an hour! make sure you get a cup of tea. in an hour i will speak with the boss of the group who runs the port here to see what they make of it. we will hear a bit more from the people of holyhead. thank you so much for dealing with the technical issues. we will get them a cup of tea and

some batteries for their microphone. 0ne one thing that is coming on a little bit later, we will be joined one thing that is coming on a little bit later, we will bejoined by one thing that is coming on a little bit later, we will be joined by the lineup of boys 0nly, it will be their last ever tour. 25 years, it makes me feel old. they have done something it would be interesting to talk to them about, stephen died a couple of years ago and he recorded a demo, it is called i can dream, they have remixed the voices and they have remixed the voices and they have remixed the voices and they have some with him again for they have some with him again for the first time, which i imagine would be very emotional. yes, we can hear that later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm victoria hollins. rail passengers are being warned that their travel could be disrupted as new timetables are introduced. changes to journeys across a number of train companies could see an impact on punctuality. passengers faced delays and cancellations when the timetable changed in may.

govia thameslink insists it has learnt lessons from last time. the mayor is meeting social media companies to tackle concerns about how online content can incite youth violence. it comes as google which owns youtube has announced a £600,000 grant for charities working with young and at—risk people. they're also looking to improve the process of flagging violent online content and preventing it from reappearing. in january two new weight—loss football leagues called man vs fat will launch in chelmsford and redbridge. sport england and the football association have recently backed the leagues and there are already seven in the greater london area with 90% of participants achieving significant weight loss. it appeals to the competitive side of men. it puts you in among company of a lot of other people in the same position.

you're not really going into an environment that's female dominated. you're getting in there with other guys who are there for the same reason and that is to lose a bit of weight and have fun playing football. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, but there are severe delays on london 0verground between gospel oak and barking due to an earlier signalling problem at upper holloway. delays for some trains at london bridge because of a trespasser on the track. 0n the roads, it's busy on the m4 coming in to town approaching the elevated section. in slade green, bridge road has reopened after being closed by the police earlier. in leyton, temporary traffic lights on lea bridge road near church road. in angel, at goswell road, one lane closed northbound at city road for repairs to a burst water main. now, the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, after clear skies last night, it's a bright and sunny start this morning. largely dry today, but it is feeling rather cold.

now, i say largely dry. we do have one or two showers potentially on this cloud up towards the north and the east. but most places avoiding them. the sunshine this afternoon not giving too much warmth for temperatures, up to ten degrees in central london. this evening and overnight, we have lots of clear spells around, a little bit of patchy cloud feeding down from the north—west. temperatures just hovering in towns and cities at least above zero. minimum temperature around two or three degrees. so, for tomorrow morning, it's another chilly start to the day. there is a lot of dry weather in the forecast this week, but also quite a lot of cloud. some breaks in it here and there. but largely cloudy, largely dry. but you'll notice as we head towards thursday and friday the temperatures take a bit of a tumble. we are covering again as we head into what does seem to be a rather unsettled weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website

at the usual address. see you soon. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and steph mcgovern. 0ur headlines today: the suspect in the case of murdered british backpacker grace millane appears in court. new zealand's prime minister gives a tearful apology to the family. your daughter should have been safe here, and she wasn't, and i'm sorry for that. theresa may comes under intense pressure to delay tomorrow's crucial vote on brexit, as she makes a final push to win over wavering mps. i'm in the busy port of holyhead to find out how what happens in westminster could have an impact here. in sport: the premier league says anyone racially abusing players deserves to be punished. it comes after disturbing scenes during saturday's game at chelsea involving manchester city striker raheem sterling. how crisp packets can be recycled

into garden furniture and fence posts. good morning from hampton court palace. we have beenjoined by the bbc singers. they sound fabulous. the weather is not quite so fabulous. a cold start for some of us, clouded the west and drier and brighter in the east. i will have more details and 15 minutes. —— in 15 minutes. it is monday 10 december. good morning. our top story: a man has appeared in court in new zealand charged with the murder of the british backpacker grace millane. the 26—year—old suspect, who has the right not to be identified under new zealand law, has been remanded in custody. the country's prime minister, jacinda ardern, has given a tearful apology to grace's family. let's get the latest from our correspondent hywel griffith, who is in auckland.

it was a day no parent expects to face, a court date with the man accused of murdering their daughter. david millane, grace's father, did just that. the family's presence in court didn't go unnoticed byjudge evangelos thomas, who said their grief must be desperate. the 26—year—old man accused of killing grace, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is due back in court next month. court documents showed he had been living at the city life hotel in central auckland, the last place grace was seen alive. the court also heard how police believe the university of lincoln graduate was killed between 1 and 2 december. this is where the body believed to be grace's was found, ten metres off a countryside road outside the city. she was on a year—long around—the—world trip, and had been in new zealand for two weeks. last night in essex, people gathered to remember the lovely, outgoing, fun—loving 22—year—old, as described by her family.

new zealand's prime minister, jacinda ardern, was visibly moved by the case. on behalf of new zealand, i want to apologise to grace's family. your daughter should have been safe here, and she wasn't, and i'm sorry for that. i've advised the family through the police that, if there is anything we can do to assist, we are here to help with that. and this from grace's brother declan, posting pictures on his instagram page alongside lyrics to you are my sunshine, highlighting the unbearable time for the millane family. just one day before the commons vote on brexit, theresa may is embarking on a final push to win over wavering tory mps. she will hold a series of private meetings with backbenchers to try to limit the scale of the rebellion. she is also under pressure to delay the vote in the hope that she can win some eu concessions.

let's get the latest from our political correspondent chris mason. a huge vote, whether or not it will go ahead, we are not entirely sure. i would love you to repeat your analogy about advent calendars at some stage, if you can, because it was so good an hour ago. we are heading into the double figures of the advent calendar, the sleeps between now and christmas are getting fewer, and it tells you everything you need to know about british politics that here we are in double figures of the advent calendar and someone like me can't say with confidence who will be prime minister when the man with the big red coat comes down the chimney. we can't be certain of that given what will happen in the next couple of weeks. there is nothing, as i have been saying in the last couple

of weeks, we can't even be certain that this big vote we have been talking about for the last week will actually happen tomorrow. as you say, there is some pressure on the prime minister to put it off. she at the moment is trying to speak to eu leaders to try and extract concessions, especially around the whole issue of the so—called backstop, the insurance policy to ensure that the border between northern ireland and ireland stays open. i have been trying to look at a brexit timeline for the next week orso, or a brexit timeline for the next week or so, or couple of weeks. mps today will debate the whole eu withdrawal deal that the prime minister wants to try and secure. that will continue tomorrow, and as things stand, there is meant to be a vote tomorrow night. if that is rejected, which is widely expected, then the government has 21 days to come up with another planned. that is near‘s

day to you and me, if you add three weeks on the tomorrow's date. and you won't be surprised to hear that there could be more bumps in the road further down the track for the prime minister, or a road further down the track for the prime minister, ora prime road further down the track for the prime minister, or a prime minister, whoever happens to be living in downing street at that stage, it is the house of commons has voted to ensure that, in those circumstances, it would have the capacity to really start steering what is going to happen. so it is four weeks on from me saying i didn't have the foggiest idea what would happen in the brexit process , idea what would happen in the brexit process, and i will do my best carol kirkwood and say it is still looking pretty misty. that was a pretty terrible carol kirkwood. need to work on that impression. a fair cop. get yourself some lessons. —— mittens. meanwhile, the european court ofjustice will rule this morning if the uk could stop brexit without permission from the other eu countries. the move would be a boost

for opponents of brexit, but it would worry the eu, which fears it might create endless uncertainty. the british government says it is a hypothetical question, because it has no intention of staying in. and this evening, there is a special programme on the eve of that crucial vote in parliament. that is brexit: decision time, on bbc one at 8:30pm. and there is a radio 5 live debate at 10:00am this morning. high street retailers suffered their worst november for almost a decade, with shoppers spending their money online instead. the british retail consortium says black friday deals on the internet made a difficult year for shops even worse. the decline in sales at the tills is expected to continue throughout the christmas period. the former nissan chairman carlos ghosn has been officially charged by japanese prosecutors with under—reporting his income by tens of millions of dollars.

the brazilian—born businessman, who was arrested at tokyo airport three weeks ago, is alleged to have understated his pay over a five—year period by around £35 million. he denies the allegation. the uk has more prisoners serving life sentences than any other country in europe, according to a report by the prison reform trust. it found britishjails housejust over 8,500 life—sentence inmates — more than france, germany and italy combined. along with turkey, the uk accounts for two thirds of europe's life—sentence prison population. the reason that we have so many life—sentence prisoners is that we don't distinguish in the country between different types of murder. so in most countries, if you have preplanned a killing, you will be sentenced in a different way to if you haven't. in this country, that's left entirely down to the court to say

on the minimum period that you must spend in prison. but you're liable to be recalled to prison for the rest of your life, and what's changed is that those minimum periods have almost doubled in the 15 years since parliament passed the legislation in question. ministers from around 130 countries are gathering for the final week of the un climate change conference. negotiators have been trying to agree on how to fulfil commitments, made in paris three years ago, to cut carbon dioxide emissions. the conference is taking place in poland, from where we can talk to our environment correspondent matt mcgrath. matt, what are the chances of them reaching an agreement? i think until the end of the last week things were looking pretty good. i think people were confident they had started to make progress on they had started to make progress on the rulebook, as it is called. but

over the weekend there was a rather bitter row, if you like, between the us, saudi arabia, russia, kuwait, over the science, the scientific report that the un had commissioned a couple of years ago, all of the countries wanted to welcome it in, except the us and saudi who wanted to keep it at arm 's length. it has set upa to keep it at arm 's length. it has set up a sour note for the start of the second week when ministers are arriving to try and move the agenda forward. and there is also president trump involved in a coal event here today, a side events, if you like, which will see lots of people angry about the president putting his fingerprints, if you like, on the conference. there is also that question about the fact the uk is struggling to hit the existing targets. yes, the uk has been doing pretty well in terms of its legislation, it is one of the few places in the world that has legislation to legally make targets

achievable by government and it has been doing well on most of those. in the longer term, post 2030, it gets more tricky, but the government has been talking recently about putting in place legislation to make the uk carbon neutral by 2050, which again would be kind of world leading, and many other countries are looking to do something similar on that. you are watching breakfast from the bbc. let's catch up with what will be happening at westminster over the next 48 hours, as theresa may embarks on a final push to win over wavering tory mps ahead of tomorrow's crucial vote on her brexit deal. the children's minister, nadhim zahawi, voted for brexit and says he will back the prime minister's plan. he is in our westminster studio. thank you very much for coming on bbc breakfast and talking to us

about this from your perspective. can we start with the vote? do you think it should go ahead tomorrow? well, i think we will have had five days of debate on the withdrawal agreement and of course the principles for the future relationship, which set out the instructions to negotiators on the free trade deal that i hope we will be able to deliver on. and i think it is important that we get a settle m e nt it is important that we get a settlement to the racks —— wrecks it that by 29 march we want to see —— brexit. us leaving the european union and having an orderly brexit. i was with the farmers on friday morning, and to a man and woman they we re morning, and to a man and woman they were backing the prime minister's deal and making sure that we live in an orderly way. they have got livelihoods, they have got, whether it is their sheep or their cattle, their wit, that they need to deliver across europe —— wheat. they want us

to leave in an orderly way, but they do want us to leave. that is the important thing. they don't want to see this thing just dragging out longer and longer and longer. i think that is where the nation is that, whichever way you voted. i voted for brexit, many in the room voted for brexit, many in the room voted for brexit, many in the room voted for romaine, but they agree with me that the prime minister's deal is the right deal —— for remain mac remain. 0ur money and trading with the rest of the world, as well as with europe, in a confident way. you say that is where your constituents are at and where the nation is out. but it seems that in parliament this vote will go against the prime minister. if that happens and the vote goes ahead, what happens next? well, we are in the realm of speculation, if you forgive me for saying. i think the important thing now is to focus on talking to colleagues, making sure colleagues have actually read the whole of the agreement, thinking about the backstop as well, which is the one pa rt backstop as well, which is the one part of this deal which is clearly,

with respect to my colleagues who are concerned about it, that is the bit of a deal that they are unhappy with. the rest of the deal seems to be getting universal backing from colleagues. i think it is important to listen to them on that, but also to listen to them on that, but also to remind them that if you think about it, the backstop is equally uncomfortable for the eu. initially, last december, when the deal was inked, the backstop was meant to be for northern ireland with the eu, which meant a very small economy, 1.1 million people, having access to their single market. now, the prime minister quite rightly said you are not carving up my country. the whole of the uk will be the backstop, and having the fifth—largest economy have access to the single market without paying anything or taking free movement, that is the uk getting its cake and eating it. i think that makes the europeans very uncomfortable, which is why i think we will not be in the backstop for very long, we may not even go into

the backstop. i understand you backing in the prime minister on this, but surely you can see it from the point of view that she needs the support of everybody to get this through, the dup have said they will not back this agreement, and a number of conservatives have said they will not back it as well. are you confident that in the next 24 hours the prime minister by talking to individuals about that backstop can get enough people to support her in this vote tomorrow? i think it is incumbent on all colleagues to think through, one, what would happen if the dealfalls, through, one, what would happen if the deal falls, and the dangers of a chaotic brexit to our economy, jobs, livelihoods, or those who want to discover brexit, who don't want brexit, who live in denial, which is even more dangerous. that destroys democracy. many say we backed brexit and constituents back brexit, but we don't want this deal, so surely if they don't agree with this deal than what they are trying to do, they feel their job what they are trying to do, they feel theirjob is to try to find a

different negotiating position. the important thing is to remember that this deal has pretty much universal backing other than concerns around the backstop and the prime minister, myself, others in the party are talking to colleagues, listening to collea g u es talking to colleagues, listening to colleagues as well, which is equally important, to try to make sure they understand the backstop is an insurance policy. we don't have to go into the backstop. we can choose to extend the implementation period. there may be at third option, technology that iain duncan smith and others put forward that could be available in time so we don't have to go into the backstop. there were a number of options that colleagues need to think about. ultimately you have to think about how can we deliver on brexit. if i don't it is destructive for democracy. at the same time, protect the economy so that farmers in stratford—upon—avon and automotive manufacturers like jlr and aston martin can get their

pa rt jlr and aston martin can get their part and export cars to europe.” appreciate your time this morning, thank you for talking to us. and, at around 7:50am, we will talk to a conservative backbencher who opposes theresa may's deal. we will try to get, i suppose, the other side of the conservative pa rty‘s other side of the conservative party's thought this morning. much to debate with the vote tomorrow. they should start voting at around 7pm tomorrow night. yes, it should be busy. we have another festive edition of carol's carols. i feel like there should be a sting. she has gone inside to the very gorgeous hampton court palace in surrey. good morning. good morning to you. look at this, adrian, i love the cameraman, he is showing us faces at the top of the roof of the great hall to remind you that the walls have ea rs, great hall to remind you that the walls have ears, because these little faces are looking down at

you. in those days on the courters. we are in the great hall and you can imagine what it would have been like in the days of james the first, henry viii, full of noise, full of banquets, a very grand affair, and in fact shake —— shakespeare's kinsmen first performed here in front of james the first. now, it is nice and toasty inside. 0utside it isa nice and toasty inside. 0utside it is a little bit nippy across parts of scotla nd is a little bit nippy across parts of scotland and northern england. the forecast for today is essentially dry for many but it will become cloudy from the west, extending further east as we through go the course of the day. high pressure is across us at the moment on the ridge, so things are fairly settled and, under clear skies, temperatures have dipped across northern england and scotland, hence the frost. this morning east central

areas start off on a bright note with some sunshine. but already there is a fair bit of cloud across northern ireland producing through the morning the odd spot here and there. through the day it will continue to drift into western scotland, north—west england, parts of wales and south—west england. and again here and there the odd shower. so the further east you are the driver and brighter it will be although the sunshine will turn it hazy. temperatures ranging from four in the north, about 12 in the south—west. through the evening and overnight, although we start with a lot of clear skies in the east, you will notice cloud in the west will drift east through the course of the night, and the odd spot of drizzle, some murky conditions coming out of that. the far east under clear skies will be cold with freezing temperatures or just below. will be cold with freezing temperatures orjust below. tomorrow we start like that, cloudy, murky, it will be gap, there will be cloud draped over the hills, for example, but further east, the eastern

extremities of the uk is where we hang on the brightest skies for the longest, and temperatures very similarto longest, and temperatures very similar to today. then on wednesday, well, a fair bit of cloud around, it will break here and there, some sunny skies come through, but another weather front in the west is waiting in the wings to bring some more rain and temperatures very similarto more rain and temperatures very similar to today. now, more rain and temperatures very similarto today. now, i have something i want to show you, but i will save it, because this room holds a secret i didn't know about. you big tease. when will we find out what it is? when we are ready to show you. we have to like it first. you have absolutely no idea when you are going to do that. laughter. how dare you, dan, you cheeky thing! but you are right. see you in a bit. find out what the secret is.” you are right. see you in a bit. find out what the secret is. i am intrigued. let's take a look at today's front pages.

the daily mirror leads on tomorrow's crunch vote in the commons for mrs may's brexit deal, with the paper predicting "the end of her reign." it also features a picture of the new king of thejungle, harry redknapp, who won last night's i'm a celebrity final. yes, that was a cracker. the telegraph also leads on the problems facing the prime minister, reporting that mrs may held crisis talks with eu officials last night. the paper also looks ahead to the rail chaos many commuters may face over the festive period. that is never good news. no. and going back to our top story: the metro leads on the murder of british backpacker grace millaine in new zealand, using a poignant quote her brother posted on instagram as their headline. she was my sunshine, he said. and, finally, drug driving is at record levels. that's according to the daily mail. the paper reports that 37 motorists a day are failing tests for banned substances. and harry redknapp appears again, this time in an image alongside his wife sandra. if you didn't watch the show, she

was mentioned a lot. so wonderful, 54 years they have been together. the back pages talking about raheem sterling's post about the role he thinks media play in stoking racial hatred because of chelsea fans shouting at him from the side of the pitch against chelsea, between chelsea and manchester city over the weekend, we will discuss it with john barnes in around 40, many football fa ns john barnes in around 40, many football fans will know he had bananas thrown at him when he played for liverpool. have things changed, and what is the situation for black footballers ? and what is the situation for black footballers? and you have former black footballers like jason roberts, who was talking over the weekend, he said he feels his generation have let raheem sterling's generation down by not stepping out racism. plenty to discuss at a am for you. -- at

8:10am for you. just a few weeks ago, royal mail urged people posting empty crisp packets to start putting them in envelopes. it was in response to campaigners highlighting the fact that the packets weren't recyclable. today, walkers is launching the first national scheme to collect and recycle crisp bags, hoping that it will prevent millions of them from going to landfill. breakfast‘s tim muffett reports. crunch time for the recycling of crisp packets. lots of people are asking where they can start to bring them in. sudz cleaners in lancing, west sussex, one of 200 crisp packet recycling points launching the scheme across the uk. as a nation, we seem to eat a huge amount of crisps, actually, it's quite shocking. local volunteers like sue are helping to run the scheme. we collect them from the drop—off points, we box them up, send them off. we're running out of space in landfill. we need to recycle more. inside most crisp packets is a silvery film that's

made of plastic. it keeps the crisps fresh, but it's hard to recycle. crisp packets have been found intact after 33 years. so campaigners say that, if nothing is done, in 33 years' time there will be 200 billion of them in landfill and in the ocean. why has it taken so long for a major manufacturer like yourselves to embrace recycling in this way? crisp packets have been challenging to recycle. within our current waste system, both in terms of collecting them and segregating them, and then giving them a market. we have a target by 2025 for all of our packaging to be recycla ble, com posta ble or biodegradable. however, that's proving a really difficult challenge to crack. some campaigners have been so exasperated, they've been putting crisp packets in postboxes addressed to manufacturers. this new scheme will also allow

people to download a free post label, so packets can be returned officially, as long as they are in an envelope. they'll end up at this site near blackburn. the process for crisp packets is, we shred it, we wash it, we dry it, and we either turn it into flakes or into pellets, and they can be turned into sort of outdoor furniture that's weather resistant — like, picnic tables, park benches, fenceposts, it can go into garden paving — a whole host of things. this campaigner, geraint ashcroft, is credited with forcing crisp manufacturers into action. his petition received 300,000 signatures. even if you only take 10% of crisp packets from landfill, 10% is still1 million packets a day. launched by walkers, this scheme will accept packaging from any brand of crisp. for many, it's long overdue. tim muffet, bbc news. it is quite a good idea. it is, yes.

it is quite a good idea. it is, yes. it is quite a good idea. it is, yes. it is about time as well. the breakfast brexit roadshow has docked in holyhead this morning, sean's at the main port that connects wales with ireland. i don't know if you have any guests review this morning. let's see what you've got. good morning. —— guests with you this morning. it is lovely here this morning. we are loading up a couple of ferries that will make the shortjourney, relatively the short distance between the uk and ireland, this morning, 500 lorries have come through tonight. it shows the close relationship with the eu and the uk, not just trade relationship with the eu and the uk, notjust trade between the uk and ireland, the town receives funding through the european union. we will be talking about that this morning as well on the lovely red sofa, nice and safe, talking to the boss of stenoline group to see how the vote will affect them and we will hear from people in holyhead as well to

see how they feel about it as well. first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm victoria hollins. the mayor is meeting social media companies to tackle concerns about how online content can incite youth violence. it comes as google which owns youtube has announced a £600,000 grant for charities working with young and at—risk people. they're also looking to improve the process of flagging violent online content and preventing it from reappearing. rail passengers are being warned that their travel could be disrupted as new timetables are introduced. changes to journeys across a number of train companies could see an impact on punctuality. passengers faced delays and cancellations when the timetable changed in may. govia thameslink insists it has learnt lessons from last time. in january two new weight—loss football leagues called man vs fat will launch in chelmsford and redbridge. sport england and the football association have recently backed the leagues and there are already

seven in the greater london area with 90% of participants achieving significant weight loss. it appeals to the competitive side of men. it puts you in among company of a lot of other people in the same position. you're not really going into an environment that's female dominated. you're getting in there with other guys who are all there really for exactly the same reason, and that's to lose a bit of weight and have a bit of fun playing football. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning, but there are minor delays on london 0verground between gospel oak and barking due to an earlier signalling problem at upper holloway. delays for some trains at london bridge because of a trespasser on the track earlier. 0n the roads, queues on the a2 coming in to town. the road is down to one lane just after the danson interchange because of a large pot hole.

in leyton, temporary traffic lights on lea bridge road near church road. in angel, goswell road has one lane closed northbound at city road for repairs to a burst water main. now, the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, after clear skies last night, it's a bright and sunny start this morning. largely dry today, but it is feeling rather cold. now, i say largely dry. we do have one or two showers potentially on this cloud up towards the north and the east. but most places avoiding them. the sunshine this afternoon not giving too much warmth for temperatures, up to ten degrees in central london. this evening and overnight, we have lots of clear spells around, a little bit of patchy cloud feeding down from the north—west. temperatures just hovering in towns and cities at least above zero. minimum temperature around two or three degrees. so, for tomorrow morning, it's another chilly start to the day. there is a lot of dry weather in the forecast this week, but also quite a lot of cloud.

some breaks in it here and there. but largely cloudy, largely dry. but you'll notice as we head towards thursday and friday the temperatures take a bit of a tumble. recovering again as we head into what does seem to be a rather unsettled weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and steph. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and steph mcgovern. here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: a man has appeared in court in new zealand charged with the murder of the british backpacker grace millane. the 26—year—old suspect, who has the right not to be identified under new zealand law, has been remanded in custody. let's get the latest from our correspondent hywel griffith, who is in auckland. thank you very much for coming on bbc breakfast. what more can you

tell us? what more details have we got? we still don't know what the police think the motive was here, exactly what happened between the time that grace millane met this 26—year—old man and eventually when her body was found, but the police are confident that he is guilty of murder. as you said, he has not been named, but we do believe that he is the person who was living at the property where grace was last seen alive. there is also shock and a sense of anger here in new zealand, a country that welcomes thousands of backpackers every month and is known globally for its reputation for hospitality and safety. we heard from the prime ministerjacinda ardern this sense of disappointment and shame, in her words, that something as horrific as this could happen to a woman travelling in new zealand. and i have been to the backpackers' hostel where grace millane was staying, and spoke to someone in the same room, their

people are thinking of her, of her smile, and the millane family who are trying to come to terms with this news. and if we get any more detail while we're on air, i am sure that will continue to be covered on the bbc news channel over the next few days. theresa may is embarking on a final push to win over wavering tory mps, just one day before a crucial commons vote on her brexit plan. she will hold a series of private meetings with backbenchers to try to limit the scale of the rebellion. she is also under pressure to delay the vote in the hope that she can win some concessions from the eu. meanwhile, the european court ofjustice will rule this morning if the uk could stop brexit without permission from the other eu countries. the move would be a boost for opponents of brexit, but it would worry the eu, which fears it might create endless uncertainty. the british government says it is a hypothetical question, because it has no intention of staying in. high street retailers suffered their worst november for almost a decade, with shoppers spending their money online instead.

the british retail consortium says black friday deals on the internet made a difficult year for shops even worse. the decline in sales at the tills is expected to continue throughout the christmas period. saudi arabia has ruled out extraditing to turkey two suspects in the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the turkish president demanded the extradition just over a week ago, with a turkish court issuing arrest warrants. mr khashoggi was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul in october. the uk has more prisoners serving life sentences than any other country in europe, according to a report by the prison reform trust. it found britishjails housejust over 8,500 life—sentence inmates — more than france, germany and italy combined. along with turkey, the uk accounts for two thirds of europe's life—sentence prison population. ministers from around 130 countries are gathering in poland

for the final week of the un climate change conference. negotiators have been trying to agree on how to fulfil commitments to cut carbon dioxide emissions made in paris three years ago. president trump, who has said that the us will pull out of the deal, is sending representatives to promote coal and other fossil fuels. the bookies' favourite, harry redknapp, was crowned king of thejungle last night in the final of i'm a celebrity. the former spurs manager said the programme had taught him how to laugh again. he said it is quite lonely sometimes being a football manager, and it is quite a seriousjob, and he had a good old laugh in thejungle. he also said he had never watched the programme before, and had no idea it what he was in for. harry had never watched the show before appearing on it, but became a firm favourite, with his stories about meeting members of the royal family and his relationship with wife, sandra.

i think they have been together for well over 50 yea rs. i think they have been together for well over 50 years. and that is what well over 50 years. and that is what we all aspire to, it is brilliant, isn't it? long-term love. it is what we could all do with. coming up on the programme: we will have carol's carols from hampton court palace. she promised us a little sneak peek. but she didn't tell us of what. john barnes will be here to talk about what sally is going to mention is well, raheem sterling. yes, raheem sterling and his post on social media about being racially abused throughout his career, and he claims broadcast journalists treat throughout his career, and he claims broadcastjournalists treat black players differently and sometimes the coverage of what he does in his everyday life has been skewed, he says, because of the colour of his skin. during the world cup he came

infora lot skin. during the world cup he came in for a lot of stick in the papers, overin in for a lot of stick in the papers, over in russia he had a hard time. the premier league says anyone found to have been racially abusing one of its players deserves to be punished. manchester city striker raheem sterling was allegedly abused by fans in saturday's defeat at chelsea. sterling said afterwards on social media that newspapers help to fuel racism in the way they portray black footballers. he pointed out the differences in tabloid reporting of how black and white players spend their wages. chelsea and the meropolitan police are investigating the allegations. what the last couple of weeks has highlighted is it's still very much there, even though some people have thought it was gone. and it is sad that these couple of weeks these things have come to light. but we need to stamp it out, strong punishment needs to be taken, that you can't get away with this sort of thing anymore. and i think — notjust in football, but when you look across that, diversity is needed in all different forms, to educate, to stop these things, these incidents, happening. the trouble at newcastle united continues, as they suffered their seventh home defeat of the season, losing 2—1 to wolves.

having gone behind early, rafa benitez‘s side equalised through ayoze perez. reduced to ten men after deandre yedlin's red card, they couldn't cling on for a draw, matt doherty with the wolves' winner deep into injury time. rangers are second in the scottish premiership after their 1—1 draw at dundee. kenny miller put dundee ahead, before nathan ralph was sent off for dangerous foul play. andy halliday equalised from the resulting free kick. the draw moves dundee off the bottom. ronnie 0'sullivan has won the uk snooker championship for a record seventh time. it was his 15th triple crown title, beating stephen hendry‘s previous record, after beating mark allen in york. i played very well today, you know, and it took a while to convince myself. amazing to beat my hero's record, stephen hendry. and i still have eight

world titles to get, but i'm chasing that one, but that's another thing altogether. river plate won the copa libertadores last night. they beat boca juniors 3—1 in extra—time to win 5—3 on aggregate. the game had been postponed twice, though, and moved from buenos aires to madrid because riverfans had attacked the boca team bus before the original match. and here's how the river plate fans celebrated in buenos aires. now, we hadn't planned on showing you the men's under—23s from the european cross country championships, but this was too good to miss. watch as frenchmanjimmy gressier

defends his title in a unique way, to the surprise of commentator steve cram. jimmy gressier in fine style, coming away to win the gold medal, to — oh! jimmy,jimmy,jimmy. what are you doing? his big moment, and he fluffed it. everyone cheering, slow motion, and do the big — oh, no. celebrating winning the gold medal at the championships, a faceplant across the line. at least he still won. wouldn't it have been awful if he missed the line. did he have extra sticky issues, maybe? it is so thick, the mud, he has gone for a power knee slide, and has just mud, he has gone for a power knee slide, and hasjust wedged in. and

it just stopped before slide, and hasjust wedged in. and itjust stopped before the line, didn't he? it is a great life metaphor, that. that is monday morning. in the build—up to one of the most important parliamentary votes in a generation, we have been getting out of westminster to get a sense of how people across the uk are feeling about brexit. today sean is in holyhead, home to the passenger and lorry port connecting wales and ireland. it looks lovely there this morning. good morning to you. good morning, yes. it is a lovely morning here in holyhead in anglesey in north wales, these ferries will be setting off to dublin, making the 67 milejourney, the shortest ferry crossing we have between the uk and ireland. just one example of the crucial relationship between the european union and asked in the uk, because not only have we had 500 lorries coming out of this

port overnight, but millions of passengers all through the year. really important for the local town as well, as is european union funding, that is the case for a lot of the rest of wales as well. so a big issue, i had a pop over to the local town to see what they made of the whole brexit process. can i ask you a question about the obvious topic of the day, brexit? oh, no, not brexit. no, thanks. oh, i think it'sjust a big muddle. i don't think it's what people voted for. i don't think they expected it to be so complicated. personally, i would have gone for a crash—out brexit — over—the—cliffjob, because i think it's dragged on long enough. we could have come out two years ago. we should have another referendum. i'm not in for that. there has already been a referendum. i don't think we need another one. how brexit plays out will be crucial to holyhead.

you have the port with 2.7 million passengers and thousands of tons of cargo passing through every year. in the town, on the other side of the bridge, one of the most deprived in the uk received tens of millions of pounds of funding through the european union. people forget what it was like before we ever went in. i used to work on the docks. i know a bit about it. if we were prepared to staff the borders properly, there's no good reason why holyhead wouldn't thrive as it did before. it was a much busier port than it is today back in the '60s. i actually voted to leave. i honestly thought it was the right decision with the whole thing with the nhs. i thought it was going to be stretched with the illegal immigrants and people coming over, you know. but i think, on reflection, it was the wrong decision. i don't think politicians have thought about the implications of it all. can i ask, how did you vote couple of years ago? i voted for brexit, yeah.

will you get the kind of brexit you wanted? no, but we don't get what we want, do we, in politics? so, no. it'sjust so confusing, isn't it? i don't know what to think. i think everyone just wanted to come to a conclusion. how do you feel about everything they are doing at the minute? doing my head in. i'll let you get on with your shopping. thank you, bye. 2 million passengers come through the port. if we don't have agreement with the eu, there could be potential delays. that will have a significant impact on business and customers. use a large delays, we have 500 coming in and out, three miles, what would we see at a port like this if there was that scenario? you say that, but on any day there is roughly 20 kilometres of freight units coming through the port. if there is any delay, you could come into this position with gridlock, it isjust in could come into this position with gridlock, it is just in time and logistics modelling, many of the supermarkets in the uk, they traverse through the isle of islay and through this port. for the

supermarkets, what could the consequences because you let let's not scaremonger, there could be delay and things won't arrive on time. thank you, lots more to talk about, and we will hear more from the people at holyhead. lots of passengers are boarding, i can see, making a journey a lot of people would be familiar with, the choppy waters over the irish sea. thank you. i used to do the journey, it is bumpy, let's say. fruity and bumpy, as chris mason was talking about brexit this morning. in terms of the beautiful lights, i think they are going to try to challenge that now. carol has been promising a lot, let's see what she can deliver. good morning. no pressure. good morning. ican morning. no pressure. good morning. i can deliver a lot. first of all, you are looking at the ceiling, the magnificence of the great hall, and we will talk more about that in a jiffy. first of all, the weather

forecast. if you are stepping out now, it is a chilly start to the day wherever you are. we have some frost this morning across parts of scotla nd this morning across parts of scotland and northern england. today's forecast generally is mostly dry, with cloud in the west drifting further east as we head through the course of the day. you can see why — we have high pressure at the moment. things are fairly settled. and what you will find is the cloud in the west will be thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle or the odd shower through the course of the day. the showers are showers, so not all of us will catch one. first thing this morning, it is a cold start today, and we have a bright and sunny day across most of the land. however, cloud already in northern ireland will move across the irish sea, into western england, the irish sea, into western england, the south—west, the north—west, wales and western scotland. and ahead of it the sunshine will turn hazy. temperature—wise today is nothing to write home about, about

four degrees in the north, and 12 degrees down to the south—west. through this evening and overnight once again the cloud in the west will continue its journey moving to the east. eastern extremities of the uk will remain clear. so here it will be a cold night. the cloud again is thick enough to produce some mist and murk, the dam feeling, drizzle around, and the odd shower. —— dampfeeling. drizzle around, and the odd shower. —— damp feeling. tomorrow it will be cloudy and murky, edging further to the east, so it is the extreme east that hangs onto the brightness for the longest before the cloud eventually arrives. and again the dampness means that it would be very warm, temperatures very similar to what we are looking at today. by wednesday, still some cloud around, some brighter breaks, even some glimmers of sunshine, but we have a weather front waiting in the wings, that will bring some rain later into

the west, with temperatures very similarto the west, with temperatures very similar to what we are looking at for the next few days. now, i promised more information about the great hall. let's talk to someone who knows about it, tracy. you work here for historic palaces. what would it had been like in the days of henry viii at christmas? the room would have been filled with about a thousand people, and they did christmas in style in henry's time, not just christmas day, christmas in style in henry's time, notjust christmas day, the 12 days of christmas, celebrated with just as much feasting on every day, beginning on christmas eve and ending on the sixth ofjanuary, so they did it in much bigger style that we do today. and was henry viii credited for bringing the turkey into the bouquet at part of our christmas festivities? , thanks to henry that the turkey was brought here from his overseas exploration. it didn't immediately become a

popular christmas dish. we still prefer wild boar, which sounds, frankly, disgusting, and it took a while for the turkey to take hold and become the most popular dish. that is so interesting. thank you. we have a treat, and viewers have a treat as well, because we are going to hear a lovely christmas carols from the bbc singers. singing. # rising over the sun. # rising over the sun. singing. ifeel like singing. i feel like i singing. ifeel like i should give a round of applause. beautiful. and a round of applause. beautiful. and a round of applause for the christmas

jumper. yes, some good christmas jumpers. i learnt a lot, henry viii, the turkey. imagine sitting around a table with a turkey drumstick. theresa may will hold a series of private meetings with backbenchers today to try to see off a humiliating defeat in tomorrow's crucial vote on her brexit strategy. the former northern ireland secretary theresa villiers voted for brexit, and says she will oppose this deal. she's in our westminster studio. thank you forjoining us. so why do you oppose this steel? because i don't believe it is in the national interest. it would involve paying over the 38 billion without guarantees on the future economic relationship, it would have a continuing role for the european court ofjustice continuing role for the european court of justice and continuing role for the european court ofjustice and the backstop could leave us locked permanently in a system where we are stuck with the eu rules on customs and many of the

single market rules without having any say orany single market rules without having any say or any vote, so those are three reasons why i am afraid i will vote against the draft withdrawal agreement. should the vote go ahead tomorrow? yes, i think this is an important historic decision for allah country to make. parliament needs to be given the opportunity to express their view on the withdrawal agreement —— historic decision for hours in that country to make. there is continued debate about whether it should go ahead. how much chaos is this causing, do you think?” wouldn't describe the situation as chaotic. i think the country has made a big decision in the referendum to leave the european union. it is a complex process to deliver on. but we have to deliver on it, not least because 80% of people at the last general election voted for parties committed to implementing the result of the referendum. and have you spoken with your constituents about this, what have they been saying?”

your constituents about this, what have they been saying? i had many conversations over the weekend and obviously in previous weeks and months about this issue. and opinion is divided in my constituency, just as it is elsewhere, but i am afraid the vast majority of people i spoke with, who's been in contact with me think that i should vote against the withdrawal agreement. you say you think it is not chaotic, but it looks like it from the outside, so what should happen next?” looks like it from the outside, so what should happen next? i hope parliament will vote on the draft agreement and after that i think it is vital that the government returns to brussels to make it clear that the terms be the withdrawal agreement are not acceptable to parliament and need to be renegotiate. this will create continued uncertainty. we heard from the boss of stenoline, huge company involved in logistics, important to bringing in products, they say they

need to stop the uncertainty, they need to stop the uncertainty, they need a deal as soon as possible. u nfortu nately, whatever need a deal as soon as possible. unfortunately, whatever the outcome is in the vote, there is going to be at the greed of continuing uncertainty. what is vital is that the government does all it can to prepare for the 29th of march next year when we leave. we should be prepared to minimise any disruption regardless of whether there is a d raft regardless of whether there is a draft withdrawal agreement in place, or whether there is not. so, in terms of how the public should feel about this, when will things become calm for people? every day at the moment we are talking about crucial votes, uncertainty, when will things actually start to take shape, and we can crack on with life? it is difficult to say, but i think if we have a clear decision to seek better terms from the eu, but also to prepare in parallel for leaving without an agreement if the eu are

not prepared to be reasonable, i think that sends a strong signal to individuals and to businesses that whatever happens in relation to the negotiations we will be ready to leave on the 20 night of march and we will do everything we can to ensure that we minimise any disruption that might take place —— on the 29th of march. thank you for your time. and john barnes is on the way after 8am talking about what raheem sterling has been speaking about. joining us later on breakfast: singing. ronan, shane, keith and mikey will be here, as we welcome boyzone to the breakfast sofa. all that to come. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we have the national headlines for you ina we have the national headlines for you in a few minutes' time. good morning from bbc london news. i'm victoria hollins. the mayor is meeting social media companies to tackle concerns about how online content can

incite youth violence. it comes as google which owns youtube has announced a £600,000 grant for charities working with young and at—risk people. they're also looking to improve the process of flagging violent online content and preventing it from reappearing. rail passengers are being warned that their travel could be disrupted as new timetables are introduced. changes to journeys across a number of train companies could see an impact on punctuality. passengers faced delays and cancellations when the timetable changed in may. govia thameslink insists it has learnt lessons from last time. in january two new weight—loss football leagues called man vs fat will launch in chelmsford and redbridge. sport england and the football association have recently backed the leagues and there are already seven in the greater london area with 90% of participants achieving significant weight loss. it appeals to the competitive side of men. it puts you in among company

of a lot of other people in the same position. you're not really going into an environment that's female dominated. you're getting in there with other guys who are all there really for exactly the same reason, and that's to lose a bit of weight and have a bit of fun playing football. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning but there are minor delays on london 0verground between gospel oak and barking due to an earlier signalling problem at upper holloway. also on the trains, southern and thameslink have delays of up to 20 min for some trains between london bridge and east croydon because of a signal failure, we're told. 0n the roads, queues on the a2 coming in to town. very slow there. the road is down to one lane just after the danson interchange because of a large pot hole. in angel, goswell road has one lane closed northbound at city road for repairs to a burst water main. now, the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, after clear skies last night, it's a bright and sunny start this morning.

largely dry today, but it is feeling rather cold. now, i say largely dry. we do have one or two showers potentially on this cloud up towards the north and the east. but most places avoiding them. the sunshine this afternoon not giving too much warmth for temperatures, getting up to around ten degrees in central london. this evening and overnight, we have lots of clear spells around, a little bit of patchy cloud feeding down from the north—west. temperatures just hovering in towns and cities, at least, above zero. minimum temperature around two or three degrees. so, for tomorrow morning, it's another chilly start to the day. there is a lot of dry weather in the forecast this week, but also quite a lot of cloud. some breaks in it here and there. but largely cloudy, largely dry. but you'll notice as we head towards thursday and friday the temperatures take a bit of a tumble. recovering again as we head into what does seem to be a rather unsettled weekend. and it is only monday.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and steph mcgovern. good morning. it is eight o'clock. 0ur headlines today: the suspect in the case of murdered british backpacker grace millane appears in court. new zealand's prime minister gives a tearful apology to the family. your daughter should have been safe here and she wasn't and i'm sorry for that. theresa may comes under intense pressure to delay tomorrow's crucial vote on brexit, as she makes a final push to win over wavering mps. iamat i am at one of our biggest ports at holyhead in anglesey. these ferries arejust a few

holyhead in anglesey. these ferries are just a few hours away from ireland. i will look at how the decisions in westminster will affect people here. in sport, the premier league says anyone racially abusing players deserves to be punished. it comes after disturbing scenes during saturday's game at chelsea involving manchester city striker raheem sterling. # away in a manger. # away in a manger. #no # away in a manger. # no crib for a bed. good morning from hampton court palace. you are listening to the wonderful bbc singers. the weather outside is pretty cold with rust in scotland and northern england and a bit more cloudy in the west with brighter skies in the east. —— frost in scotland. i will have more in 15 minutes. what a lovely way to kick things off. it's monday 10th december. good morning. we will bring you more on our top story. it has just gone eight o'clock. a man's appeared in court in new zealand charged with the murder of the british backpacker grace millane. the 26—year—old suspect, who has the right not to be identified under new zealand law,

has been remanded in custody. the country's prime minister, jacinda ahern, has given a tearful apology to grace's family. chi chi izundu reports. it was a day no parent expects to face — a court date with the man accused of murdering their daughter. david millane, grace's father, did just that. the family's presence in court didn't go unnoticed byjudge evangelos thomas, who said their grief must be desperate. the 26—year—old man accused of killing grace, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is due back in court next month. court documents showed he had been living at the city life hotel in central auckland, the last place grace was seen alive. the court also heard how police believe the university of lincoln graduate was killed between 1st and 2nd december. this is where the body believed to be grace's was found, ten metres off a countryside road outside the city. she was on a year—long around—the—world trip, and had been in new zealand for two weeks. last night in essex,

people gathered to remember the lovely, outgoing, fun—loving 22—year—old, as described by her family. new zealand's prime minister, jacinda ardern, was visibly moved by the case. on behalf of new zealand, i want to apologise to grace's family. your daughter should have been safe here, and she wasn't, and i'm sorry for that. i've advised the family through the police that if there is anything we can do to assist, we are here to help with that. and this from grace's brother declan, posting pictures on his instagram page alongside lyrics to you are my sunshine, highlighting the unbearable time for the millane family. chi chi izundu, bbc news. just one day before the commons vote on brexit, theresa may is embarking on a final push to win over wavering tory mps. she'll hold a series of private meetings with backbenchers, to try to limit the scale of the rebellion.

she's also under pressure to delay the vote in the hope that she can win some eu concessions. let's get the latest from our political correspondent, chris mason. i don't know why i mispronounced backbenchers then! apologies. we have spoken to two conservative mps on the programme already today and one had said they will vote with theresa may and one will not. they seem to be denying that there is chaos around parliament at the moment. you are the political correspondent, so what say you, sir? bucketloads of chaos! everywhere you look there is a big yellow bucket and it is piled full of chaos. the two conservative mps we have had on brea kfast two conservative mps we have had on breakfast this morning speak to that. it is the first rule of parliamentary politics that people in the same party are meant to agree on big stuff. as this morning has illustrated, they don't. that is why the prime minister is in a quandary

here. we are now into double figures on the nation advent calendar and i am sure it is the same on the walker advent calendar. and yet a political correspondent like me cannot be certain when rudolph has munched on plenty of these who will be prime minister when the big man comes down the chimney. that is how up in the air politics is at the moment. and thatis air politics is at the moment. and that is why we can't even be certain that is why we can't even be certain that vote which we have been rabbiting on about for ages will actually happen tomorrow. it could delayed. but let's assume it goes ahead. here is the brexit timeline, as it looked at eight o'clock on monday morning. mps will debate all day today, for a decent chunk of today and tomorrow, for eight hours each day, on the prime minister's withdrawal agreement. if it is rejected, which looks likely if the vote goes ahead on the current withdrawal deal, then there is three weeks, 21 days, for the government to come back with a new plan, and 21 days from tomorrow is new year's day, so we are not expecting it to

p0p up day, so we are not expecting it to pop up as the fireworks die down over westminster. it will probably come back rather sooner than that. as an added twist, and there always is around brexit, there will be more bums on the road for the prime minister, or a prime bums on the road for the prime minister, ora prime minister, whoever that is, because the commons has pretty much decided it will take charge of this process if the government's deal is rejected because it will be able to amend anything that comes back before it. so four weeks ago i inadvertently managed to cause a bit of a viral video on all things breakfast when i talked about not having the foggiest idea what was going to happen. the mist is not clearing. we still simply do not know what will happen. i have got a couple of questions about your prop. is that your own carrot and did you plan that or did you find it? i didn't plan on waving it around on the telly but i did bring it in as part of my attempt to

get my five day and it's not to all be fruit. i brought it in, washed it at 4:30am this morning and it is pretty tasty. i now want to look back through the archives to see if a political correspondent has ever used a carrot live on air before. you might be the first.” used a carrot live on air before. you might be the first. i would like to think i am the first and quite probably the last when my manager had a word with me in 32nd time! excellent. thank you very much. —— in 30 seconds' time. i want to know what else is under that desk! there will be a live debate on radio 5 live at ten o'clock with anna foster as well. this feels like an important week and tomorrow there is a huge vote taking place, which is due to start around seven o'clock. there's macro will be in westminster for us tomorrow and on wednesday,

depending on what happens, you will be in depending on what happens, you will beina depending on what happens, you will be in a city. -- naga will be in westminster. i will be doing an economics explain on it as well. westminster. i will be doing an economics explain on it as weltm can be hard to get your head round it at times. i am determined to get more vegetables into my coverage tomorrow then. 4:30am tomorrow! high street retailers suffered their worst november for almost a decade, with shoppers spending their money online instead. the british retail consortium says black friday deals on the internet made a difficult year for shops even worse. the decline in sales at the tills is expected to continue throughout the christmas period. the former nissan chairman carlos ghosn has been officially charged by japanese prosecutors with under—reporting his income by tens of millions of dollars. the brazilian—born businessman, who was arrested at tokyo airport three weeks ago, is alleged to have understated his pay over a five—year period by around £35 million. he denies the allegation. the uk has more prisoners

serving life sentences than any other country in europe, according to a report by the prison reform trust. it found british jails house just over 8,500 life sentence inmates, more than france, germany and italy combined. along with turkey, the uk accounts for two—thirds of europe's life—sentence prison population. the reason that we have so many life—sentence prisoners is that we don't distinguish in the country between different types of murder. so in most countries, if you have preplanned a killing, you will be sentenced in a different way to if you haven't. in this country, that's left entirely down to the court to say on the minimum period that you must spend in prison. but you're liable to be recalled to prison for the rest of your life, and what's changed is that those minimum periods have almost doubled in the 15 years since parliament passed the legislation in question. ministers from around 130 countries are gathering

for the final week of the un climate change conference. negotiators have been trying to agree on how to fulfill commitments to cut carbon dioxide emissions, made in paris three years ago. 0ur environment correspondent matt mcgrath is at the conference in poland, and earlier we asked him what the chances of an agreement are. i think until the end of last week, things were looking pretty good. people were confident they had started to make progress on the rule book, as it is called. then over the weekend there was a rather bitter row, if you like, between the us, saudi arabia, russia and kuwait and almost all the other countries over science, the scientific report to the un commissioned a couple of yea rs the un commissioned a couple of years ago. all the countries wanted to welcome it in part from the us and the saudis who wanted to keep it at arm's length. it led to a really

difficult row, and it set up a solemn note for the start of the second week, and ministers are arriving today to move the agenda forward. and there is a president trump involved side event here today as well and we are seeing lots of people angry about the president putting his fingerprints, if you like, on the conference. there is also the question about the fact that the uk is already struggling to hit the existing targets. yes, the uk has been doing pretty well in terms of its legislation. it is one of the few places in the world with legislation legally to make targets achievable by government, so it has been doing well on most of those. in the longer term, posted 2030, it gets more tricky. the uk has this legislation and the government had been talking about putting in place legislation to make the uk carbon neutral by 2050, which again would be world leading, and many other countries are looking to do something similar on that. in the last few minutes the european

court ofjustice has ruled that the uk can stop brexit without permission from the other eu countries. adam fleming is an luxembourg and we will meet up with him shortly. we spoke to him an hour ago about what could potentially happen. they have ruled that they can cancel brexit without the permission of the other 27 eu members, and this is because a group of anti—brexit politicians and campaigners argued that the uk should be able to unilaterally halt the brexit process if they decide they want to do that. that was opposed not only by the uk government but also the eu itself. we have just heard that the european court ofjustice has ruled that the uk can cancel brexit without the permission of the other 27 eu members. we will try and pick up with adam fleming later on in a programme about the detail and significance of that. we might be able to get to him now actually. let's go to adam fleming now. good morning. tell us about the

significance of this. thank you very much by suddenly jumping significance of this. thank you very much by suddenlyjumping in front of the camera for us as well! yes, it has got a breaking news feel to what is happening. we have got the judgment from the european court of justice. in the court room behind me, which was basically deserted, and it only took 30 seconds, then it didn't feel exciting but it is an important judgment. it is 19 didn't feel exciting but it is an importantjudgment. it is 19 pages long and the judges have importantjudgment. it is 19 pages long and thejudges have ruled in the way we thought they would. they have said that the country, in this case the uk, that has notified the eu that it wants to leave, can change its mind without getting permission from the other 27 eu countries, as long as the uk goes through some kind of democratic procedure to change its mind. that would be a vote in parliament, a referendum or a general election. thejudgment spells referendum or a general election. the judgment spells out that what that means is that the uk's terms of membership would remain unchanged. the eu would not be able to attach any conditions to the uk changing

its mind. it wouldn't be able to say, yes, you can change your mind back to do so you have got to join the single currency, or the schengen area which is passport free. the group that brought this case is a group that brought this case is a group of snp mps from parliament —— a group of mps from scotland. it is a group of mps from scotland. it is a blow to the eu because it causes perpetual uncertainty around the exit clause in the eu treaties, is that if other countries want to use it, and it is a blow to the british government who had argued all along that this was a hypothetical question because they had no intention of reversing brexit and thejudges here should butt intention of reversing brexit and the judges here should butt out and it was not even a question for them. they have decided it is and that the uk can change its mind if it wants to without asking. this sounds really significant, but do you think it will make a difference to what is happening here now? it might sway a

few m ps happening here now? it might sway a few mps when they vote tomorrow because it now means that staying in the eu with the uk's membership terms unchanged is a real, viable option. before it wasjust terms unchanged is a real, viable option. before it was just an assumption, maybe. now it is written down byjudges here at the eu's topcoat. but the fact is for the brexit process to be reversed, think how much would have to change in british politics. not least the fact you would have to have theresa may, the prime minister, and the entire government changing its mind about the biggest bit of policy it is pursuing at the moment. 0n the biggest bit of policy it is pursuing at the moment. on a bit of paper is one thing. it actually happening in political reality, totally different thing.” happening in political reality, totally different thing. i always love the fact that you managed to get through all these documents so quickly for us. thank you very much

once again for doing that for us! he has got a good filing system apparently. colour coded. he is really on it. he has got to be because everything can change in a heartbeat at the moment. a significant development from the european court of justice, significant development from the european court ofjustice, but as he was explaining, whether it will make that difference is another argument entirely. yes. it is 8:16am. we are trying to keep you up—to—date with everything this morning. look at this beautiful shot from holyhead this beautiful shot from holyhead this morning. sean is there talking about how brexit will affect business and that business in particular. what a gorgeous sunrise. it is really beautiful, picture perfect. and so is carol's view at hampton court palace this morning. a roaring fire. good morning. isn't it gorgeous. we can hear it crackling away as well. we are now in the kitchen, the largest surviving 16th century kitchen in the world. this fireplace is still used and you can see the spit around it for cooking today. this is what you could have

expected in the victorian area. the mince pie. if i remove the foliage and holly, this is what it would have looked like when it was cut open. and also some puddings. in those days, if henry viii's entourage was in town, you might have 1000 guests. 200 cooks would have 1000 guests. 200 cooks would have been employed from dawn to dusk in this kitchen. and it got so hot and sweaty, and you can imagine with all the other end zone and the fire on and all these people, that they actually cooked in their underwear. there were three master cooks, one for the king, one for the queen and one for the rest of the court. this morning it is quite chilly outside, if you haven't ventured out yet. and what we have got to date is a largely dry day, bright in the east, with cloud coming in from the west. and what you see in holyhead this morning will be cloudier later on.

high pressure is a cross is, a ridge of high pressure keeping things fairly settled. that has meant we have got clear skies at night and temperatures are tumbling, hence the frost. it is cloudy in northern ireland and that cloud will roll over western scotland, north west england, wales and also south west england. turning the sunshine hazy as it does so. the brighter skies today are going to be in the east. temperatures are nothing to write home about today. we are looking at between four in the north to high temperatures of 12 towards the south. this evening and overnight, the cloud in the west continues its journey to the east. the eastern extremities will remain clear, so it will be coldest here with temperatures freezing or just will be coldest here with temperatures freezing orjust below.

if you are under the cloud, once again temperatures will not be as low but it will be fairly murky. some showers coming out of that cloud, as well as some drizzle. a murky start to the day first thing tomorrow. tomorrow we have got brighter skies in the east and all this cloud continuing to come over from the west towards the east. the sunshine eventually will be eradicated and the cloud will be thick enough for some drizzle and a lot of low cloud hanging over the hills. temperature is very similar to what we have got today. by wednesday, still a fair bit of cloud around but we see some breaks in the cloud and some sunshine coming through. there is a weather front waiting in the wings in the west which will introduce rain. temperatures are similar to what we are expecting today and tomorrow. back to you. thank you. i have noticed a fair few outfit changes going on. is that the pressure of the royal environment? no, it is dashed chilly outside. we are moving from room to room and the fire is now lit, so it will be warm later.

thank you. i am mesmerised now lit, so it will be warm later. thank you. iam mesmerised by now lit, so it will be warm later. thank you. i am mesmerised by that pie behind carol. i thought you were going to say the fire. the pie! fire does look magnificent. the past few weeks you will have noticed that louise is not sitting here. there is a good reason for that. she has been ona a good reason for that. she has been on a proper adventure. it is not my idea of an adventure, to be honest! she has been taking part in a gruelling ultra triathlon in chile. we will be talking to her shortly hopefully but this is how she did. that was amazing! see you.

woo woo woo! gracias. enhorabuena. i have to ring the bell. 0h, brilliant. i made it! ringing the bell! and we have given her about this morning, waking her up. congratulations. how is the holiday? oh, my goodness me. you have woken me up. some holiday. it has been such an amazing adventure. yesterday i was questioning my life choices when i got on that ferry and i dived off it into the cold water. and i think my feet are the most sore now but i am not sure. there is a lot of soreness! i don't know how you do it. 16 hours. talk us through

it. how was it? looking at my time, 16 hours and 34 minutes. how was it? we got up at 1:30am and we went to this very and we arrived at the dark and it was pitch black and the enormous ferry was lit up and i got on with about 250 people, all dressed up in wet suits. we drove out into the dark into this beautiful field, but of course we couldn't see it because it was dark. we waited for about 20 minutes, and then they put down the thing, the gate of the ferry, and we all started jumping in gate of the ferry, and we all startedjumping in and gate of the ferry, and we all started jumping in and we had to swim to a navy ship about two kilometres away. swim to something you can hardly see, go around it and then swim to shore. i was a bit scared, obviously, of the cold, the water, the waves, so i was at the back. by the time i got in, everybody else had started. and i had to catch up with them. it was

amazing, absolutely amazing. i was most nervous about the swim because of the orchids and i thought i might see orchid and killer whales, but i didn't. -- see orchid and killer whales, but i didn't. —— orcas. and then i got on my bike. nearly eight hours on my bike. dear me. we spoke a lot about it before you went and i know you are worried about the swim in particular that you have been a real inspiration to so many people following your trip there and your journey on social media as well. just watching the pictures of you, you swim for over an hour. i know you swim for over an hour. i know you have done lots of training but how do you convince your legs to get on the bike and then do the run after that? mentally it must be so tough to get yourself through something like that. it is. i knew

it was going to be really tough, but actually i kind of didn't know how tough it was. it was beautiful and fantastic on the bike and we climbed 2000 metres or something and you have just got to keep moving, 2000 metres or something and you havejust got to keep moving, keep pedalling, that was all i could do. and then the run. i got off my bike andi and then the run. i got off my bike and i had been on it for a long time and i had been on it for a long time andi and i had been on it for a long time and i really enjoyed some of it. the views of the glaciers and the beautiful patagonian planes were just fantastic. that keeps you going. and your training keeps you going. and your training keeps you going. it is like what i do in north wales but the hills just keep on coming. idid wales but the hills just keep on coming. i did the run and i thought it would be fine and i didn't realise. i knew it would be beside a la ke realise. i knew it would be beside a lake but i didn't realise it was a mountain track beside a lake. we

we re mountain track beside a lake. we were on the track the 42 kilometres. and my feet were bruised. what do you think about? the end. all the trainingi you think about? the end. all the training i had done. every step is one step closer to the end. and the amazing thing about this race is that you can only do it if you have somebody supporting and helping you and my husband was doing that. every step, every paddle, i knew! and my husband was doing that. every step, every paddle, i knew i was getting closer to the moment i would see him again. and have that cup of tea and sandwich. the training and this year, utter determination. —— sheer utter determination. every time you do something i think it will take a break and you never do! have you got plans for the next thing? you must come back to the sofa at some stage! i have got to

mend a bit first because i am broken. i won't be able to walk properly because i am just hobbling at the moment. normally i get over the finish line and i think what next? i got over that finish line andi next? i got over that finish line and i thought thank goodness for that. i promise i am going to rest now but i will be back at breakfast. good. we have missed you but we are dead proud of you. thank you for chatting to us and sorry for waking you up. don't worry. well done, louise. she is amazing. she has been so worried about that. especially the swimming. and she has been wanting to do that for years. well done, louise minchin. just to tell you what is coming up between now and 9:15am. a bit of this: how can they haven't aged? ronan, shane, keith and mikey, boyzone of course,

will be on the sofa. and we hope thatjohn barnes will be here but he is stuck in traffic at the moment. talking about what raheem sterling has been talking about over the weekend and whether british media have a role to play in stoking racial hatred. some of that. loads to pack in that first the news, travel and weather wherever you are watching. hello there, good morning. later this week, we are going to see a battle between some mild air trying to come in from the west and cold air heading in from the east. but before that, it is a fairly quiet start to the week, really. plenty of dry weather around today but cloud will slowly increase from the west. you can see from the satellite imagery, where you have clearer skies towards many central and eastern areas, and a bit

more in the way of cloud across into the atlantic and western parts. that is associated with this warm front which is going to gradually move its way in. but it is a very slow process because high pressure is the dominant weather pattern, really, for many of us today. it is a bright start to the day with lots of sunshine. a few showers drifting their way through the north—east and northern ireland, through to merseyside, potentially into the midlands as well. the cloud generally increasing towards western parts. temperatures 8—11 here. about 6—9 further east, where you have the best of the sunshine. through tonight, we keep some sunny spells, clear spells, i should say, across eastern parts. still more cloud the further west you are and that will keep temperatures above freezing. where you have clearer skies across eastern parts, you can see by the blues on the map, there's going to be a bit of a frost developing on tuesday morning. temperatures just below freezing, —1, —2 celsius compared to the 5—7 in western parts. during tuesday, quite a cloudy day for many. any early morning sunshine will start to be eroded away as cloud generally starts to move its way in.

a few breaks developing here and there across western parts. rain sitting out towards the west. it will stay here during tuesday so dry for all of us, and temperatures at about 7—11. that weather front as we go into wednesday will just edge its way ever so slowly eastwards but as it does, it will tend to break up. we will see a line of cloud. a few spots of rain on that during wednesday. but once again, a quiet day and mostly cloudy before it turns colder by thursday. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and sally bundock. europe's highest court says it's ok for the uk to stop brexit, as prime minister theresa may vows to try and win support for her deal to leave the eu. live from london, that's our top story on monday, 10 december. 0n the eve of the uk parliament's

vote on theresa may's brexit deal, the european court ofjustice has ruled that the uk government can pull out of brexit without the agreement of the other 27 eu countries. also on the programme, nissan boss carlos ghosn has been formally indicted and re—arrested over allegations
