11:30 pm
we are still in the east of the uk. we are still in the same set up, east of the uk. we are still in the same setup, then, friday we are in the blue. on same set up, then, friday we are in the blue. on friday, the wind looks to bea the blue. on friday, the wind looks to be a bit lighter. sunny spells around, showers towards the south—east, patchy rain in the south—west. those weather fronts are not getting any further in, for most of us they will be dry and high pressure in control. these temperatures, four or five degrees at rest on friday. in the next weekend, if it goes like the current plan is looking, it may not, but the current plan suggest the atlantic fights back. high pressure out the door but it will turn wet and windy from the south—west as that happens. remember, all of this moving into colder as we could see some snow, not just colder as we could see some snow, notjust in the hills of scotland for a time. elsewhere some heavy rain, the risk of gales, milder air moving on from the south—west. it looks as if for the rest of the weekend into next week it will be low pressure that stays by. there are gaps between weather systems, here is one on sunday and for the start of next week. it will be wetter and windy, but around these weather systems, the low pressure systems in the atlantic, it is not that cold south—easterly, it is a milder south—westerly. and it looks
11:31 pm
as if, with the swirling atmosphere, low pressure will hang around to the west of us for much of next week, giving us that atlantic influence. what does that mean for our weather? u nsettled what does that mean for our weather? unsettled spells and gaps between weather systems. cooler with them, overall it looks fairly mild with that airfrom overall it looks fairly mild with that air from the atlantic. quite often high—pressure plays the role often high—pressure plays the role of that guest to stays longer than you thought they might, so it may be a little bit longer yet before the low pressure and wet and windy weather from the atlantic takes over. it is a transition that we will watch very closely for you. hello. this is bbc news with clive myrie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first, the headlines: westminster turmoil — the prime minister delays her brexit vote, admitting mps would reject it "by a significant margin". mps react angrily to the deferral with labour securing an emergency debate on the prime minister's decision tomorrow. theresa may will meet eu leaders tomorrow,
11:32 pm
amid warnings that the deal can not be renegotiated. in other news. french president emmanuel macron addresses the nation, announcing tax cuts and wage rises following weeks of violent protests. a man's found guilty of the murder of two schoolgirls near brighton, more than thirty years ago. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are ben glaze, deputy political editor at the daily mirror, and jo tanner, who's chief executive of in house communications, and is a former political strategist for the conservative party. let's look at tomorrow's front pages. now guess what, you lucky people. one story dominates and has
11:33 pm
swept all before it...yep, you guessted it. theresa may's postponement in the commons, of that meaningful vote on her brexit plans. the metro leads with the prime minister warning that mp's risk sending britain crashing to a no—deal, if they don't back down and vote for her plan. the guardian calls mrs may's delay of the vote and plan to buy more time "desperate". the financial times says a humiliated mrs may will embark on a tour of european capitals tomorrow to ask for a better deal. mayday! says the the i, labelling the prime minister's postponement of the vote "extraordinary". the daily mail shows a smiling theresa may on her way to the continent, and calls the trip her ‘last roll of the dice'. the times leads with the pm being jeered at in parliament today — and says she will plead for help from europe. the prime minister is for turning, claims the telegraph, and leads with fears brexit will be delayed. and away from brexit, though,
11:34 pm
it is the daily star. there's a triumphant harry redknapp with wife sandra in australia, after winning "i'm a celeb." a p pa re ntly apparently it's very big, that programme. what are we going to start with? the telegraph. the lady is for turning according to the daily telegraph. he is brexit will be delayed. what she need to do to get deal through? in the next few months? after we actually leave the european union. she escaped to see the dutch pm and then the german chancellor and then later in the week, there will be an eu summit where will she —— where she will
11:35 pm
have more talks withjuncker and tusk. she needs a guarantee that this backstop the last forever. if you can't have the withdrawal agreement, you can't get anything legally binding. it's not going to last forever, vote for my deal.m it's not a backstop, some other kind of stock, that is not a backstop, if you see what i mean. it's not the end resort. it's not the final resort to deal with the hard border on the island of ireland. as a result, it's not going to work? this is the crux of it. she is only attempting to get reassurance from europe. as to what that backstop looks like and feels like. the legal advice from the attorney general which was finally published up to nobody wanted it published, it came
11:36 pm
out. task himself and said no renegotiation, only facilitate —— facilitating the ratification. this is about an addendum to something which is in the withdrawal agreement already but any of those addendum is orany already but any of those addendum is or any sort of letters or any other explanation is instantly based on trust weather is no trust between the parties any more. what really can be achieved? what i'm trying to say is, why would the eu be interested in flexibility with this backstop because the point is, there is no flexibility. nobody wants this to be used. people are at pains to suggest throughout this process it's a last resort, there will be a free—trade agreement by the end of the transition period, by the end of 2020. this is only in case that happens let's not ready on time the prime minister, if she can't get this deal through parliament
11:37 pm
belatedly, which is why she called the vote, she's got to go back to brussels with a tail between her legs and say she can't do it. you need to give me something, something ican take need to give me something, something i can take back to london and say look, even europe agrees this is not going to last forever. unless its legally binding, like joe going to last forever. unless its legally binding, likejoe says, trust is broken down, notjust between london and brussels, and from a political point of view, that is for the prime minister. the guardian, desperate prime minister reveals plan b. i'm reminded of david cameron and him doing exactly the same thing before the referendum. he went to europe, they gave him a deal. he realised it was not going to be enough, he went back and it didn't happen. this is part
11:38 pm
of the issue, history doesn't suggest these discussions go particularly well so ultimately, is this part of a move, as some papers call it, to kick the can down the road. is this about causing further delays so that the prospect of no deal becomes even more real. the new kind of except something. a dangerous game. so much has been said about this backstop. people are willing to fight to the death over the issue. the dup are quite rightly furious. many other mps have made such a big deal of this now that it is not as if she comes and says, it's not quite how it reads in the document. that's not going to buy her anything. document. that's not going to buy heranything. ultimately, document. that's not going to buy her anything. ultimately, what can she do? she is going to run out of roads. delay brexit, delay article 50, which you can do. the date can be moved now. or day she just push
11:39 pm
it down to the wire. does she say, i can't do this deal, we go to a people's vote, a referendum. its interesting referencing david cameron visiting the capitals. it's great for stag do venues. one of the charges that brexit supporters said was that he asked for that alone got less. that is the charge for theresa may now. he is going back to these capitals. what is she going to get out of it? if she gets a letter, thatis out of it? if she gets a letter, that is not going to be enough to convince those hardtalk —— hardcore tory brexit supporters. the guardian front page, we sort of see a bit of a trajectory of the prime minister
11:40 pm
‘s thinking over the past few days. she said, what i'm doing is leading up she said, what i'm doing is leading up to she said, what i'm doing is leading uptoa she said, what i'm doing is leading up to a vote on tuesday and listening to colleague's concerns. not about delaying it. and the boat is 100% happening, that's because it's good deal. yes, the boat is going ahead. this is according to michael gove and stephen barclay, speaking on sunday. i suppose there isa speaking on sunday. i suppose there is a sense that she can handle a fight, she is determined. these are being seen as qualities and perhaps today, that has tipped over into stubbornness on some people's mines. atin ear. stubbornness on some people's mines. a tin ear. not realising until the very, very last moment that this deal was not going to go through parliament. there is also the question of losing faith in someone. the lady is returning, the headline,
11:41 pm
there was briefing that theresa may was going to have her handbag moment. thatcher language. most people are as good as their word and this is a woman who unfortunately, she said there would be no general election, there is a general election. the conversation about what was going to happen, the speculation about this vote being called, sending out ministers to confirm it was happening. it was clear they went going to win it for weeks, really. it's been known that deal was not keen to be accepted. again, it goes back to that trust issue. believe in me, i've done my very best, i tried to get the deal thatis very best, i tried to get the deal that is rife in this country, there isa that is rife in this country, there is a point at which you say, i'm not sure i believe that any more. the doggy determination and all that, a lot of people who have sympathy with how hard she has tried but the narrative is already starting to unravel, that she didn't go in as ha rd unravel, that she didn't go in as hard in the first place as is
11:42 pm
alluded to in tomorrow's papers. hard in the first place as is alluded to in tomorrow's papersm we go to the front page of the times, made pleas for help from europe. donald tusk has said there will be no renegotiation. the idea that perhaps she didn't go in hard enough from the beginning, and that is what some brexiteers are supporting but it looks like they're frankly don't have the, frankly, b.a.l.l.sto frankly don't have the, frankly, b.a.l.l.s to deal with that hot potato. nobody wants to own it will while it is ongoing. from the labour party, brexiteers, remain supporters. it's easier to soak it allup so supporters. it's easier to soak it all up so when this is done and dusted, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, we are assured it is there, when it's done, someone else can come in and sees the glory. that is boris johnson's
11:43 pm
can come in and sees the glory. that is borisjohnson's plan i suspect but he doesn't want to be there now. it's a thankless task. there is a lot of sympathy for the prime minister. that is starting to cross over into pity. when you end of the ofa over into pity. when you end of the of a prime minister who can launch nuclear weapons, it is not a great position to be in. there is an astonishing piece in the times where mark stewart from the university of nottingham says no government since world war two has had to pause a vote on significant international treaties. and has also been censored by parliament for being in contempt. i was watching her address to the commons this afternoon and it was on the front of the new york times. the whole world is looking on at what is going on here. people are asking whether the rest of the world is
11:44 pm
impressed. tareeza whether the rest of the world is impressed. ta reeza wave's whether the rest of the world is impressed. tareeza wave's last roll of the dice. forced into a dramatic climbdown. —— theresa may's. she is not going to get much support from europe? and it is quite an interesting picture, this smiled through gritted teeth. it doesn't sound like she is going to get an awful lot. however, this is a woman who could surprise everybody. is it that she has had some sort of signal and therefore she is doing this to will back and suddenly have mailed some sort of concession? who knows? was it a mexican stand—off that actually could be broken? we have all given up could be broken? we have all given up making political predictions because nobody knows, but there is
11:45 pm
no question we are living through the most astonishing historical times. so she goes to europe, europe doesn't give her anything, which is the indication, she comes back, and then what? we don't know. exactly. maybe she will delay coming back. maybe she will delay coming back. maybe she will delay coming back. maybe she has extended her holiday, maybe she will go walking for a bit. i don't think we get a meaningful vote this side of christmas. so that is not going to happen. and parliament does have to vote on this. you have studied the debate. three days of debate is done, whenever the debate restarts, which could be the middle ofjanuary, say, we pick up as if we never stopped. so dave four starts, and it perceives to day five and then theoretically you have this meaningful vote. the idea in downing street might be to run it as close
11:46 pm
to the deadline as you possibly can, because close to the deadline you can effectively blackmail parliament and say it is my deal or no deal, because all other options and time has run out. and there is nothing to stop those 164 who have already spoken from saying hang on a minute, i have something to say now. you will be stuck there for days. and in the bleak midwinter, the stirling sinks to a 16 month low, with the knock—on effect of not getting this through today. it is interesting looking at the effect on sterling and the markets, but this is a glimpse of what might happen further down the line chaos and febrile atmosphere continues. and if we go through this god forbid no deal brexit, then this is a foretaste of the chaos which will ensue. which
11:47 pm
the chaos which will ensue. which the cbi warned about today. 0k, onto the cbi warned about today. 0k, onto the mirror, theresa may running scared. i have lost my front page. anyway, there it is. i... interestingly this comes from the daily mail, we will get onto this in a minute it your paper, and labour could have called for a vote of no—confidence today and they didn't. are they running scared? it is astonishing, really... there have been a few things recently, prime minister ‘s questions last week the prime minister was in a question and jeremy corbyn decided to talk about poverty or something, it was a really odd choice of questions. so there has been an ongoing narrative of labour being seen not seizing an opportunity, however they must be thinking seriously about numbers and about when they are going to pick a moment and why they are going to pick that moment, why is that moment
11:48 pm
going to come when it does. part of it is this idea that there is a suggestion that if they essentially forced the tories to unite it isn't particularly helpful for them, whereas if they get to the stage of losing the vote and embarrassment it is perhaps more helpful. but the tories might decide to do the work for them and actually take theresa may out and look for a new leader anyway. some of the hard-core remainers are writing to jeremy corbyn to put pressure on him to call an early confidence vote. labour are very aware of the fact they might only get one shot at this, and they don't want to waste it. you should wait, the theory goes, until the prime it. you should wait, the theory goes, untilthe prime minister loses the commons vote, whenever that might be, and then you pounce. what they don't want to do is call it early, raleigh conservative mps behind the prime ministerand accidentally shore up her support at accidentally shore up her support at a time of maximum fragility for her. so biding theirtime a time of maximum fragility for her. so biding their time and waiting for the right moment, i am so biding their time and waiting for the right moment, lam not so biding their time and waiting for the right moment, i am not sure so biding their time and waiting for
11:49 pm
the right moment, lam not sure i agree with the theory, but that is what they think they are doing at the moment. —— rallying conservative mps. it is a dangerous position to be in. absolutely. a quick look at the front page of the sun. brexmas turkey, the pm well and truly stuffed. they are not very happy. going on inside of the sun, a column, the opening paragraph is theresa may's decision to call off today's brexit vote shows what a massive mess she finds herself in. which are former chief of staff helped get her in. is there any mention in this article that it was the decision to go to an election in 2017 which meant that she ended up being held hostage by the dup and as a result could not come up with a coherent strategy on the border with
11:50 pm
northern ireland ? coherent strategy on the border with northern ireland? pretty much summed that up, really. there are always people that work with politicians and have opinions. i used to work with them when i was at the conservatives. but the astonishing thing is that nick was instrumental in theresa may even... most of her work as home secretary, and actually getting into number ten and everything that happened at number ten until that election. so the idea now that he can suggest that her strategy, which was essentially his strategy, which was essentially his strategy because she did everything that he told her to do, is quite phenomenal. and he goes into this piece, which again, it is so disloyal, i think it is shocking and i could never write something like this myself, but he actually goes in to comment on the negotiations and suggest that the prime minister never actually argued with brussels about the backstop in the first place, and that actually, the idea was that she never actually went
11:51 pm
there because she didn't think she would ever win on it. and that is a hell of a stone to throw. and i would love to know what their last conversation was, it has got to that stage that he is willing to really throw her under the bus like that. but you know, brexit is doing some funny but you know, brexit is doing some fu n ny stuff but you know, brexit is doing some funny stuff too funny people. but you know, brexit is doing some funny stuff too funny peoplem but you know, brexit is doing some funny stuff too funny people. it is, there is no question about that. and finally, the cartoon on the front of the telegraph. pantomime season, bad news, we are closing. we can't compete with the house of commons. ken clarke tweeted earlier, want to show your kids are free pantomime this christmas? turn on the news. which is always a pantomime, brexit or not. 0h which is always a pantomime, brexit or not. oh no it isn't! 0h which is always a pantomime, brexit or not. oh no it isn't! oh yes it is! this story appearing on the new york times, the front of the washington coast around the world, not a good look for the uk. not a
11:52 pm
good look for the uk, and an mp picking up the maze and walking out of parliament. it was a bit of a low rent pantomime. he sort of picked it up rent pantomime. he sort of picked it up and wandered over and gave it back. it has been good to see you. many, many thanks. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, ben glaze and jo tanner. goodnight. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre.
11:53 pm
tonight was all about everton's marco silva, welcoming his old side watford to goodison park. and there was as much drama in the 2—2 draw as there was between the clubs last season, when it became apparent that everton were interested in silva while he was still in charge at watford. that led to his eventual dismissal, and a fiery encounter tonight. miriam walker—khan watched this one for us. marco silva preparing to face his former club for the first time, but watford supporters are no longer his fans. hundreds of them brought inflata ble sna kes to fans. hundreds of them brought inflatable snakes to the goodison away and. the man he took with them impressed at watford but now in pressing for a everton. richarlison! and it was just what watford feared, richarlison, that all—too—familiar face, bringing everton to life. it wasn't without controversy, though. should walker have been ruled
11:54 pm
offside? the tables turned after half—time, a seamus coleman own goal brought watford level. and just over a minute later, doucoure gave them the lead. that wasn't the last of the lead. that wasn't the last of the drama, though. ziga then had a penalty to make it 2—2, but ben foster kept his side in front, and just as watford were on the brink of their first just as watford were on the brink of theirfirst win at just as watford were on the brink of their first win at goodison park on a 96th minute freekick from lucas digne meant the points were shed. —— shed. the second after we control, those moments we have to be strong in this type of moments when you play against him is doing what they did. and after, we had to keep playing on our way, faster if you
11:55 pm
can, and we didn't do that in the second half. it is difficult to accept, again, because i think during the game, in the second half, we have dominated the game. we have scored two goals, and after that, to concede in the last minutes the second goal, it was tough to accept. but we continue the same, in the same way, with the same attitude, looking at the victory —— looking for the victory in the games we play, is our mentality. chelsea football club say they have suspended four people from attending matches while an investigation into the alleged abuse of raheem sterling takes place. the incident involving the 24—year—old allegedly occurred during city's 2—0 defeat at stamford bridge on saturday. manchester city have welcomed chelsea's decision to issue suspensions. england beat new zealand 2—0 to reach the quarter—finals of the hockey world cup in india. goals from will calnan and luke taylor either side of half—time set up a knockout tie against reigning olympic champions argentina on wednesday. open champion francesco molinari has
11:56 pm
been named european tour golfer of the year. the italian was a hero of europe's ryder cup victory over the united states at le golf national in september. he was the first player from the home team to win all five matches in the ryder cup. the 36—year—old then went on to secure the european tour's race to dubai title, to cap the best year of his career. england have named an unchanged test squad to tour west indies. they won their series 3—0 in sri lanka last month. they will play three tests in the west indies starting next month. david willey returns for the five—match one—day series starting in february. that's all the sport for now. and as far as the weather front is
11:57 pm
concerned, very little happening over the next few days. it has been quite a chilly day for some of us today. tomorrow will be no different. it is actually going to be quite a cloudy day for many of us with a touch of frost first thing in the morning. mostly across eastern areas of the uk. now, there are some storms out there in the atlantic, but they are not really heading our way. and in fact, over the next few days it is going to be a graveyard of storms out there. weather fronts trying to approach but because the airwill trying to approach but because the air will eventually be coming out of eastern parts of europe, nothing is shifting in our direction at least for the time being. so all that area is quite a bit of cloud, some eastern areas are clearer so is quite a bit of cloud, some eastern areas are clearer so that is where the frost will be first thing in the morning. you can see one weather front approaching and then it sort of rich as ireland and kind of stops. so a dry day on the way on tuesday. some sunshine here and at in northern scotland, ab one or two
11:58 pm
the south but the coldest will be in the south but the coldest will be in the east, and it will turn colder and called at the lee winds set in. goodbye. —— as easterly winds set welcome to newsday, on the bbc. i'm babita sharma, in london. the headlines: theresa may delays a crucial vote on her brexit deal, saying strong objections to the northern ireland backstop plan would mean defeat. if we went and had had held the vote tomorrow, the deal would be rejected bya margin. tomorrow, the deal would be rejected by a margin. we will before defer a vote for tomorrow. after a fourth week of violent protests, france's president macron promises a rise in the minimum wage and new tax concessions i'm mariko oi, in singapore. also in the programme: interstellar — the voyager 2 space probe, which left earth 41 years ago, has become only the second man—made object to leave our solar system.
