good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt — live at westminster. our headlines today: theresa may vows to fight on as she survives a crucial leadership challenge. the parliamentary party does have confidence. but the prime minister's authority is dealt a blow as more than 100 of her mps vote against her. a significant number of colleagues did cast a vote against me and i've listened to what they've said. after a dramatic 2a hours in westminster, we'll ask what's next for mrs may — and the brexit process. also this morning: french police ask for the public‘s help to find the man suspected of killing two people at a christmas market in strasbourg. manchester city win their champions league group, but there's pain in spain for united, who're well beaten in valencia — they're through, but it's red faces all round. and it is a date for the big jacket.

and it is a date for the big jacket. an added winchell across the country threw out the day —— added wind chill. did some of you cease note this weekend? i will have the details on breakfast —— see some snow. it's thursday the 13th of december. our top story: the prime minister is still in post and back in business this morning, after surviving a bruising vote of no confidence which saw more than a third of her own mps vote against her. she'll meet eu leaders in brussels later to try to win concessions on her brexit deal, in an attempt to break the deadlock at home — and get her plan through parliament. but what realistic chance does she have after last night's events? jonathan blake looks back at an extraordinary 2a hours for theresa may. his report contains some flash photography. back to number ten at the end of what theresa may herself described as a long and challenging day, but it was not quite over yet. mps had voted for or against theresa may as conservative leader, and the result, when it came, meant she survived. the result of the ballot held this evening is that the parliamentary

party does have confidence. in the end, 200 mps backed theresa may, and 117 voted against her. the prime minister could not ignore the fact that a third of tory mps had voted to remove her as leader, but she said the result would let her get on with the job. we now need to get on with the job of delivering brexit for the british people and building a better future for this country, a brexit that delivers on the vote that people gave, that brings back control of our money, our borders and our laws, that protectsjobs, security and the union, that brings the country back together rather than entrenching division. like the country, the conservative

party is divided over brexit. supporters frame the vote as a convincing win for theresa may, critics claim it was worse than she would have hoped and called on her again to resign. the prime minister must realise that under all constitutional norms, she ought to go and see the queen urgently and resign. the prime minister survives this challenge to her leadership but her biggest problems have not gone away — getting changes to the brexit deal from the eu and convincing enough mps to support it. jonathan beake, bbc news, westminster. so now that theresa may has won that vote of confidence, it means she's safe from another leadership challenge for a year. but last night she promised mps she'll stand down as leader before the next scheduled election in 2022. however, there could be a general election before that —

if labour tables and wins a motion of no confidence against her government. and, of course, there's that delayed meaningful vote in parliament. mps must vote on that deal — whatever shape it ends up taking — by the 21st of january. we're joined now by our political correspondent iain watson in downing street. good morning to you. we know theresa may is still in downing street this morning, both literally and metaphorically. that is right. she is literally here. she has not been ousted. nonetheless, at what price? she has obviously had to give herself a sell by date, not a specific date, but making it very clear that she will not be occupying ten downing street after the next election, no matter what. that obviously comes at a price. the other thing we need to be clear about, inside the conservative party, she cannot be challenged for another year, if she comes back with another year, if she comes back with a deal which are partners in government, the dup, northern ireland's dup, if they do not like

it then there is always the danger thatis it then there is always the danger that is they could vote out of office. strangely enough, charlie, the weaker she is, he, potentially the weaker she is, he, potentially the stronger she is in brussels. she is going to european council, european summit to try to get changes to the so—called backstop —— here. the way of avoiding a hard border with northern ireland. if they do not want to be negotiating either the new government or someone who was a long—standing brexiteer, it is perhaps more likely they will give at least some of the concessions she is demanding. for the moment, thank you. so the prime minister will meet with eu leaders in brussels later to try to secure changes to the brexit deal. but officials there have consistently said renegotiation is not an option, so can theresa may convince them otherwise? james reynolds is in brussels for us this morning. good morning, james. she is embattled here, but could that empower her over there? not yet

clear. remember this, as you just said in your introduction, the leaders, the 27, have made it very, very clear that they will not be reopening that big withdrawal negotiation deal. that is done. having said that, they may be willing to offer some kind of unofficial reassurances, something people can actually declaration, saying that the irish backstop, the guarantee that the irish border will remain open, no matter what the circumstances of any other deal, will be temporary. that there will be an expectation that people will look for other alternatives. that could be in some kind of clarification. whether or not that is good enough for the british prime minister, we will have to see. there remained european leaders have their own priorities and problems. angela merkel, in germany, has diminished authority and president macron, in france, has problems of his own at home. james, thank you very much.

we live at westminster throughout morning. a loss of cover is coming up. we will speak to all parties, those who voted with the prime minister last night, and those who voted against. plenty more coming up on the politics. there is plenty of other news as well. hundreds of police, soldiers and border agents are involved in the hunt for a gunman, suspected of opening fire near a christmas market in strasbourg. cherif chekatt killed two people and injured 13 more in the attack on tuesday evening. german police have also joined in the search, after suggestions he may have fled across the border. navtej joehal reports. the most wanted man in europe. cherif chekatt is suspected of bringing terror to strasbourg — and now police want him brought to them. the search for the 29—year—old continues today, with hundreds of police, soldiers, and border agents on both sides of the border between france and germany. french authorities have acknowledged that he may no longer be

in the country. it's believed the gunman who opened fire near strasbourg's famous christmas market on tuesday evening, killing two people and injuring 13 others, was himself injured in a shootout with soldiers. police have warned people not to approach cherif chekatt, who was already known to security services as a possible islamist terrorist threat. but at his nearby apartment, a neighbour, who did not want to be identified, painted a different picture of the suspect. translation: there was no sign of radicalisation. he is a really normal person. yeah, i cannot say more than normal. he was nice too, as i say. he respected women. meanwhile, the french foreign minister has said the country will be stepping up security in the wake of the attack, particularly around christmas markets. as the tributes mount, france is now on the highest level of alert.

navteonehal, bbc news. thousands of people held candlelit vigils across new zealand yesterday to remember murdered british backpacker grace millane. the 22—year—old was found dead more than a week after she was reported missing from a hostel in auckland. friends and family also gathered in her home town of wickford in essex to pay tribute to her. a 26—year—old man will appear in court next month charged with her murder. donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen has blamed his crimes on the president, saying he felt it was his "duty to cover up his dirty deeds". cohen is the first member of mr trump's inner—circle to be jailed over the special counsel's inquiry into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election. he admitted lying to congress, campaign finance violations and tax evasion. ambulances in the uk have been vandalised more than 200 times in the past three years according to a bbc investigation. fireworks, knives, and bricks have

been used in attacks that have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage. one trade union says penalties for those responsible should be similar to those given to people who assault ambulance staff. albert square has been the centre of a lot of drama over the years, but now there's outrage about how much a redevelopment of the set is costing. the bbc has been criticised by the national audit office for a £27 million overspend on the project, which is also likely to be completed two years late. the original set was built in 1984 and has now been deemed unfit for purpose. the bbc says it's had delays with procurement and negotiating contracts. there was some magic sprinkled over london last night with the return of mary poppins to the big screen. not sure that theresa may felt that. actress emily blunt takes on the title role in mary poppins returns which sees her re—visit the now—grown up michael and jane banks. it's more than 50 years sincejulie andrews won over

children and adults around the world with the iconic character. those are some of the images from the new film. i think this is a more profound backdrop for her to reappear from the skies. there is a need for her. it is during the great depression. michael banks is now an aduu depression. michael banks is now an adult with three children of his own and things up crumbling apart for him. there has been a big loss. so i think we really need her to come back. i don't think that has some releva nce for back. i don't think that has some relevance for people today. interesting comments there. interesting comments therem anybody can make mary poppins, the new version, work, it is. —— it is her. let's take a look at today's front pages, which are of course dominated by last night's vote of confidence in the prime minister.

the mail is perhaps the most supportive of the papers — insisting theresa may must now be left to get on with the job of brexit. the telegraph says the prime minister has been given a vote to "remain" but asks when she'll "leave"? it says she now faces a mountain to climb to get her deal through parliament. the sun doesn't hold back either — "time to call it a may" is its front page message to the prime minister. but the harshest write—up comes from the daily mirror, which says "it's lame duck for christmas", claiming mrs may was only able to fend off rebel tory mps by promising to quit before the next general election. it's been the most challenging 2a hours of theresa may's political life, but last night she fought off a no—confidence vote from her own party. but how did it get to this point? let's take a look back at the tumultuous events of the past few days. does this house want to deliver brexit? three, two, one. is the vote

definitely 100% going to happen? yes. if we went ahead and held the vote tomorrow the deal would be rejected by a significant margin. we will therefore defer the vote scheduled for tomorrow. the government has lost control of events and is in complete disarray. other mps will think carefully about whether theresa may is the right person to lead us. the uk allott will be held between six and eight o'clock. -- ballot. the parliamentary party does have confidence. cheering.

iam confidence. cheering. i am pleased to have received the backing of my colleagues. here is oui’ backing of my colleagues. here is our renewed mission. delivering the brexit that people voted for. that is what has happened. what is happening next? we can talk now to theresa may's former advisorjoeyjones. are you surprised she has got through this now, her stealing —— steely nature is what has been commented on. what is not surprising us commented on. what is not surprising us is that she will grind on our buy power to brussels. one of her close friends in that 1922 meeting said she did look tired in that meeting and it wasn't necessarily her strongest performance. which is to be expected. but she does keep on plugging away and i think it has been widely remarked upon in the country and indeed, in westminster, although it doesn't always come through, there is a lot of

admiration for her resilience. some of those 117 who voted against her are still saying she should resign immediately after the vote, they we re immediately after the vote, they were saying get in the car, go to the queen and say it is over. in my gut this time yesterday i felt as though after graham brady announced that the likelihood was that she would win, but win ugly, if you would win, but win ugly, if you would like. i am afraid that is we find ourselves. this is a sufficiently inconclusive result that it leaves both sides, her supporters and those who voted against her, entirely entitled to say that they have come out of this with a better result. where does this leave the conservative party? well, it leaves us stuck, paralysed basically and it will be very difficult. one of the headline says lamed up prime minister. has she any wiggle room, or any leveraged now?

she is protected from being can challenge under the conservative party rules. i think that the big crunch point now comes when she returns to that meaningful vote because that is going to have to happen at some point, either this side of christmas or pretty soon the other side of christmas. that has to happen before the 21st. she said that yesterday morning. on that basis, parliamentarians will be peering themselves for a vote that she is going to lose, she will lose that vote, the numbers don't lie. i don't really see how she can plausibly expect that she can now out and european leaders will bend overfor her. out and european leaders will bend over for her. they are not stupid and will not get a whole load of concessions away, that would make any difference. i am interested, you talk about the perception, widely shared even by those who do not like what she is doing, of her resilience. using what happened yesterday has damaged that feel? it's not a comfortable place for a

prime minister to face a vote of no—confidence, equally as well, she said she would not another general election. that means that necessarily, other people are going i will take that role. they surely are thinking along those lines?|j think she will be endeavouring and often she seems to be successful in trying to filter out all of that noise. and actually, not to stake —— ta ke noise. and actually, not to stake —— take a step and face the broad sweep of what is facing her, but instead talk to her adviser, officials, what is next to smack where am i going now? who am i talking to? that sort of thing. it is only often that by keeping that tunnel vision that maybe you can stop the magnitude of the whole thing crowding in. there is also a spectrum of no confidence in the government by the labour party, led by the labour party, which appears to resisting. she said if that vote does not go through, that could realistically be the next

move. labour have reasonably cannily resisted it, but it leaves them open to the challenge of what would you be doing about all of this? they recognise that there is probably only one thing that unites conservative mps at the moment and thatis conservative mps at the moment and that is the fear of labour and getting into office. why would you give them the opportunity to vote together when you can sit back, as somebody said, get your popcorn on the labour benches and watch them turn themselves apart. you will stay with us through the morning, we will speak to john mcdonald with us through the morning, we will speak tojohn mcdonald and find out first—hand what their approach will be. thank you for the moment. 18 minutes is passed —— 18 minutes past six is the time. it is really cold, lots of thermals on and i am sure matt is dreadful he is not outside. you are in the cosiness of the studio. i certainly am. very pleased

to be indoors once again but what you have out there? it is a chilly wind as you justified, but things will turn a bit milder until we get there. some of the likely to see some snow. out there we have high pressure a cross some snow. out there we have high pressure across scandinavia, the window clockwise bringing their in from the continent. quite a breeze, that will add to the windshield, but there is a weather front scooting in across northern ireland and cornwall in particular. here, we like to see rain at times, turning lighter and apache to the afternoon. much of the uk dry today. bit more sunshine to the afternoon but when you have got the afternoon but when you have got the sunshine or not, with the wind close to 50 mph at times in the west it is going to be a chilly day. this is what it says on the thermometers. factor in the wind wherever you are across the uk and it will feel closer to freezing. is certainly a

day for the big coats, at least for the vast majority of view it will stay dry. staying dry for most into tonight. patchy rain and drizzle to the west of northern ireland and a few showers later to the north—east of scotland. clear skies around compared with last night, it is good to bea compared with last night, it is good to be a cold night. the wind will feel like a. the blue on the chart indicating where temperatures will fall below freezing, certainly down across rural areas. into tomorrow, the mild air tried to push towards us, is go to be a slow old process as we go through friday and into the weekends with a bit more sunshine tomorrow and with light it will not be quite as bad, more showers across aberdeenshire towards shetland and increasing cloud into the west later. a dry day with a fair amount of sunshine for and temperatures on the face of it, down on today's values, but the wind will be quite strong. is to go into friday night

on the weekend this is where to get interesting. cold air in place. a few fla kes interesting. cold air in place. a few flakes of snow from this initial weather front as we go through the night. nothing significant. bullet helping an error of low pressure to the south of us wishing its way into saturday. eastern area strike to much of the thai baht turning what across ireland, south—west england, that reigned spreads its way. more widespread snow across saturday is likely in scotland, especially in the hills but in lower levels are still chilly across the east, mild in the west but at least it is set to get that little bit milder for all of us by the time we had. today we are up warm all of us by the time we had. today we are up warm against that cold wind. we are wrapped up warm. we are live at westminster this morning because last night events thomas a much focus on here. we are always mindful that the debate is carrying on elsewhere, maybe in your home this morning or where you work. how do

you think the events of the last four hours are affecting you? —— 2a hours. john maguire is in sunderland for us, which voted to leave the eu. morning john. you might be wrapped up warm when you are, not as hot as we are here at the national glass centre in sunderland, those furnaces, you can see the glassblowers bringing out the first. this is the thing they manufacture, absolutely beautiful items there. it has a rich heritage of glass manufacturer, the first being last window in the country hundreds of years ago were made here. want to introduce you to the young students from university of sunderland past and present to get their perspective on what has been happening in the last couple of days. good morning all. let's talk to christie, high to use. you are from northern ireland, the backstop has been absolutely front and centre of everything that has been taking place. what are your thoughts?”

feel like the backstop is very important to northern ireland just because essentially of the good friday agreement. we cannot have a ha rd friday agreement. we cannot have a hard order. —— border. northern ireland is such in a rocky place and that good friday agreement is keeping us together as a nation. as a state we voted to remain in the eu andl a state we voted to remain in the eu and i think we would like to remain in the eu. it is worth saying that sunderland is 61% voted to leave. katie, you are 20. the amazing thing is that when the referendum vote took place you are too young to vote, that is how long it has taken so vote, that is how long it has taken so far. obviously i could not vote back when it happened but i think i would vote remain now. i think the younger demographic and the older demographic, there is quite a difference between the two and a lot of the younger audience would have wanted to vote to remain. i think if

i had the chance to vote in another referendum i would vote remain. atlas of many other people perhaps. jess, you want to be a barrister, congratulations. let's ask you this, what have you thought about the debate, what is the quality of the discourse over the last month and yea rs ? discourse over the last month and years? it has been very interesting to bea years? it has been very interesting to be a part of, being part of the vote and being a part of, is so easy to get your opinion heard these days by social media and things like that, so easy to get things across, so that, so easy to get things across, so it has been easy to debate with people had a different opinion. i think it is getting to a point now where the discourse is stopping progress and that is not good at all. we need to try to unify even if

we don't agree with each other, we need to try and unify to get the deal that we need this at the moment it is not looking like we are going to pull out of its topic we will unify to get the deal that we needed. adam, you want to pursue it journalism. what do you think of the result? theresa may has said that no more conversations will happen to debate this issue. thank you all very much indeed a. diverse thoughts and opinions and beliefs, as you can imagine. small from us later on in the programme we will introduce you to even more voices and try to make. we are looking for a bit of clarity at the national glass centre, if thatis at the national glass centre, if that is not the worst pun we have yet here today, i will be happy.

apologies there, a few technical problems this morning with the sound but we will sort that out. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. the london assembly is demanding the mayor, sadiq khan takes urgent action to tackle the high levels of violence in the capital. there's been more than 120 murders in london so far, this year. the police and crime committee says it welcomes the newly formed violence reduction unit, but is concerned about the lack of detail about how it will operate. the mayors office says it's "clear there is no one single solution to tackling this complex issue". uncertainty caused by brexit is causing buyers and sellers in the capital to sit tight. the number of people looking for a new home fell in november in london — down 1a%, with many attributing this to brexit and the limited choice of properties for sale. for those desperate to escape

the busy christmas bustle, the postal museum might have just the ticket. it's now offering walking tours through its subterranean network. visitors can explore the century old tunnels, which used to transport mail between depots under the capital's streets. is something that is really different from what most people have never experienced. but also the smallest of the tunnel. there are places where you have to bend over in orderjust to get through because the ceiling height is very low it is these tunnels were designed to carry mailand these tunnels were designed to carry mail and transport people. —— and not transport people. let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting on the tubes this morning, we've got a good service on all lines. traffic on the a13 is building westbound from dagenham into barking. there's northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach from the woolwich rd flyover. there's westbound traffic on the highway,

it's building through wapping towards tower hill. heading towards london bridge, lower thames st is down to one lane westbound both at cross lane and fish st hill for emergency repairs, with delays at times back onto bywa rd st. now the weather with elizabeth rizinni. hello, good morning. wrap—up warmly todayit hello, good morning. wrap—up warmly today it will feel mighty chilly. the areas cold and there will be quite a lot of wind chill to factor into today's temperatures too. a very brisk and bitter south—easterly wind blowing, but it will stay dry and good spells of sunshine around as well. quite a cloudy start, what of that cloud breaking up as we do the morning thomas and pieces doesn't sunshine as we had through the afternoon. top temperatures only between three and six celsius, but in reality it will feel colder than that because the wind will pick up some dusts of 30 mph, feeling quite raw in exposure to that wind and a lot colder than those numbers suggest. but the wind will ease down overnight, white wind, clear skies

around a bit of cloud was the east, mo —— most places in frost my morning with temperatures into —1 minus two degrees. a cold and trustees to the day. the areas even colder but the wind would be quite a strong. still feeling chilly, dry with spells of sunshine, if you are out the shopping, turning work by saturday afternoon and mild by sunday. 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 charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty, coming to you live this morning from westminster. theresa may is going to back to work today after surviving a bruising vote of no confidence which saw more than a third of her own mps vote against her — we should warn you there are flashing images coming up. she'll meet eu leaders in brussels, where she will seek reassurances that contingency measures to prevent a hard border in ireland will be temporary.

mrs may will be hoping to get her plan through parliament in the new year. iam i am pleased to have received the backing of may colleagues into night's ballot. while i'm grateful for that support, a significant number of colleagues did cast a vote against me and i've listened to what they've said. following this ballot we now need to get on with the job of delivering brexit for the british people and building a better future for this country. a brexit that delivers on the vote that people gave, that gives back control of our money, our borders, and our laws, that protects jobs, security, money, our borders, and our laws, that protectsjobs, security, and the union, that brings the country back together, rather than entrenching division. that must start here in westminster, with politicians on all sides coming together and acting in the national interest. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said the vote had "changed nothing" and said it will table

a no—confidence motion that all mps — notjust conservatives — will be able to vote in when they felt they had a chance of winning it, forcing a general election. to hold her brexit votes this week because she knew she did not have the full support of her own mps, let alone the rest of the house of commons, ifind alone the rest of the house of commons, i find it alone the rest of the house of commons, ifind it very alone the rest of the house of commons, i find it very difficult to see that unless she manages to get dramatic changes made to the withdrawal agreement, that does not seem withdrawal agreement, that does not seem to be the case because she is not changing any of red lines, this deal she has in the table will not go through. the dup, which helps keep mrs may in power, say the issue of the backstop is still the major concern for them. but he said the dup would not support a no—confidence motion in parliament at this stage. our focus has been ourfocus has been on our focus has been on the withdrawal agreement and the changes that need to be made to to get our support and many other colleagues across the house. i don't think this vote changes much in terms of the arithmetic of that. and that is our

concern. mps were tweeting their reactions to the results last night. the brexit secretary described the result as a "clear and decisive win" for the prime minister — adding the focus now needs to be on delivering brexit. prominent brexiteer owen paterson said it was a very poor result for theresa may — saying she must now listen to the concerns of mps. and the leader of the snp in westminster, ian blackford tweeted — those mps who voted against the pm had no confidence in her or the government. more coverage throughout the programme from westminster. the other news for you this morning: hundreds of police, soldiers and border agents are involved in the hunt for a gunman, suspected of opening fire near a christmas market in strasbourg. cherif chekatt killed two people and injured 13 more in the attack on tuesday evening. german police have also joined in the search, after suggestions he may have fled across the border. police are now asking for the public‘s help to locate the suspect, who they say was radicalised while in prison. four people have died and more than a0 are injured, after a train crash in the turkish capital of ankara this morning.

reports suggest a high speed train crashed into a locomotive carrying out routine checks on the same track, in snowy conditions. emergency services are currently working to rescue people from badly damaged carriages. thousands of people held candlelit vigils across new zealand yesterday to remember murdered british backpacker grace millane. the 22—year—old was found dead more than a week after she was reported missing from a hostel in auckland. friends and family also gathered in her home town of wickford in essex to pay tribute to her. a 26—year—old man will appear in court next month charged with her murder. nearly half of children's slime toys failed the eu safety limit rules for containing a potentially harmful chemical. the "which?" consumer group tested 13 products from a range of high street and online retailers and found that six exceeded the limit of boron — a chemical that can impairfertility — the discovery has lead to the store hamley‘s taking

the product off their shelves. a "hi—tech robot" shown on russian state television has turned out to be a man dressed in a costume. the russia 2a news channel presented the state—of—the—art dancing robot at a technology forum for school pupils. but images shared online from backstage at the event clearly showed a human inside a robot outfit through a gap between a bodysuit and a headpiece. tricking the children. isn't there a name for those kind of robots that sort of has a person inside them but is still sort of robotic? is saying anything. so it clearly does not exist. it is one of those moments... i think there is a hybrid between a robot and a person. heart robot. michael will do. —— heart robot. you

have a story for everything. how is the studio? it is very cosy and warm. i have a pink tie on. is itan android, or is thatjust on doctor who? summary out there will tell us. i will look at social media. —— somebody out there. there is a european feel in the sport as well. it's got tougher for manchester united in europe, after they were beaten in their final champions league group match. they had already qualified, for the knock out phase, but they'll have to settle for second place in their group after defeat at valencia. philjones with an embarrassing own goal. they did pull one back and it finished 2—1, but they're now likely to face one of the european heavyweights, in the next round. leroy sane scored both manchester city's goals, including a brilliant free kick, as they came from behind to beat hoffenheim 2—1. manager pep guardiola said it was an "incredible success", to finish top of their group — the only english club to do so. the celtic and scotland striker, leigh griffiths, is taking time out

of the game to deal with what's described as "ongoing issues". his manager brendan rodgers says griffiths has been struggling with mental health problems, as well as other confidential issues, and said he'd be given all the help he needs. he has had ongoing issues now for a number of months. and he has done amazing to get through, to play to the level and score some of the goals that he has. but he has reached a point where it is a struggle for him. and for us, we are going to give him all be professional help that he possibly needs to get himself into a good place to come back doing what he does best. england's men are through to the semi—final of the hockey world cup after a thrilling victory over argentina. harry martin scored the decisive goal in the 3—2 win over the olympic champions.

it's england's third world cup semi—final in a row. they'll now play either germany or belgium in the last four on saturday. the future of horse racing is under threat if issues of horse welfare aren't addressed. that's according to a review into the deaths of horses atjump racing's cheltenham festival. seven horses died as a result of incidents at the fixture earlier this year. now the british horseracing authority has published plans aimed at improving safety, including extra veterinary checks, alterations to some race conditions, and a major project to study faller rates. the four—time tour de france winner chris froome says team sky will be doing everything they can to survive after their owner and main sponsor announced it was pulling out. the broadcaster sky announced yesterday, that it will end its decade—long commitment at the end of next year. in an open letter to fans, the team admits their future

is in doubt. we have been extremely lucky to have sky as our one sponsor for ten yea rs. sky as our one sponsor for ten years. it is very rare in cycling to have a sponsorfor years. it is very rare in cycling to have a sponsor for that long. i think we are all incredibly grateful for the support and we have still got one more you to go with sky and hopefully during that time we will find someone to fill that position --1 find someone to fill that position ——1 more year. the former arsenal and england defender tony adams has been named as the surprise new president of the rugby football league. he will take over the role next summer. adams has worked alongside the rfl with his charity sporting chance since 2011, assisting with players' mental health. there is a link, which is perhaps why he is in for thatjob. finally what do sports people do when they retire? many go into coaching or the media. well, former boxer chris eubank

is known for being eccentric — usually when it comes to his clothes. of style to his new city marshall helping the police enforce the law. i don't have a raincoat like the rest of the officers, but that's ok. it is raining here in louisiana. yes, yes. surreal. on the beat in america. chris eubank wearing his bow tie while carrying out those police marshall duties. did he have his truck with him, his giant truck?m probably arrived in it, but it was parked outside the shot. trucks going past. it is always appropriate

to dress for the occasion. dress up nice and smart. like you two this morning. thank you very much. i hope you got warm. thank you very much. a lot of tension here at westminster. the politicians that last night taking part in that historic vote. for many of the rest of us, normal life continues. this time of year means christmas parties. they are in full swing. jane is never one to miss a party. i hope she did not bring the mood down too much, she was asking people what they thought of the events of the last few days. cheers! maybe, just maybe, this christmas bash in these was a bit like the conservative party crisan as those being held at exactly the same time in london. they are having a bash of sorts, are they? it is not the christmas bash. jane. as the pm's party party, she was facing the

boot. maybe she would have preferred this kind of boot. it is not often you get to drink out of a shoe. this kind of boot. it is not often you get to drink out of a shoem is not often i want to drink out of issue. there are supporters here or in leeds late david ian gayle devotedly. kenti survive? 10096. how anybody thinks to replace or have another government in place they are going to get a different deal in three months, i'm mystified. others felt she should step aside. she has tried the best she could but i think she has not answered. do you think she has not answered. do you think she needs to go? we will know any minute. do you think she needs to go? possibly, yes. dinner is served ina go? possibly, yes. dinner is served in a smooth and orderly fashion, just as theresa may had promised to deliver brexit, not quite as it has turned out. you are a lifelong conservative supporter. i am, yes. would you vote conservative tomorrow if there was a general election? no, i wouldn't. we are stuffed. we are on the piste. where on the slippery slope. but not for theresa may. she

had avoided a fall. would you like to have to do what she has done for the past two years? the poor woman. theresa may has won the vote of confidence. and are you confident? does confidence in a leader look like 63%? does confidence in a leader look like 6396? i don't know. it depends on who you ask. a third of the party voted against theresa may. it is not a massive victory for her. in the referendum it was 49— 51%. that was even closer result. maybe, just maybe, theresa may's night ended like this. not likely, really. less busting a move, more staggering on. but in four —— from a leadership challenge for another year. if not another election. we don't have dancing, we have kind ofa we don't have dancing, we have kind of a tent and gas. joining us now are two mps from different parties,

but who both support the idea of a public vote — lib dem leader vince cable, and the snp's drew hendry. when you saw the results come in and there was a moment of real drama, inevitably, as the scores were laid out, would you rather theresa may had gone? it is not my job to choose the leader of the conservative party. the position we are in is where we were two days ago. nothing is really changed. we have had this high drama, she has survived, but we can, and we are back with the problem that the governed has a proposal it can't get through parliament and we have to try to break that gridlock —— government. that is why some of us are appealing to the leader of the opposition, who has a responsibility in this chaotic situation, to come off the fence and support the idea of going back to the country. one of the phrases we heard from theresa may when she came out from number 10, she said "politicians from all sides should come together". it is not the first time she has said that. maybe it has more meaning now. are you in a

position to talk to theresa may... there is a strong mood that we need to act in the national interest, not pull in different directions. the problem is there are very clearly defined but opposing viewpoints. the movement that the two of us are now supporting, a people's boat, is a cross— party supporting, a people's boat, is a cross—party movement. labour, conservative, nationals, ourselves, we are trying to get this back to the country so the people can decide whether they want the government's deila to stay in european union. in practical terms that is the only way —— deal to stay. practical terms that is the only way -- dealto stay. ian blackford were standing here on tuesday morning, saying that he would meet with the labour party leaderjeremy corbyn later that day. the meeting was postponed,, whatever later that day. the meeting was postponed, , whatever you want later that day. the meeting was postponed,, whatever you want to call it. it does not seem that the movement you both want for your parties both want is being supported by the labour party at this moment.

they have a responsibility, as the official opposition, to change these measures. they have the power to do that and they are not moving on it. it isa that and they are not moving on it. it is a lack of leadership at the moment, we have to get around the table at persuade them that they have to grasp this and take the opportunity to make a change because otherwise we are stuck in the situation. theresa may at best 18 eric victory last night. she is away and up prime minister with a dead duck deal. if anything, because of the scale of the vote against her la st the scale of the vote against her last night it strengthened opposition to the deal that she is trying to tweak around the edges. is just a situation that is now go to start impacting as days go on, on order merit people... ordinary people are telling us, and we have been talking to various people around the country is that they want some stability. they want to know a clear direction and a motion of

no—confidence in the government is going to bring more chaos to the situation rather than stability and you are backing that.” situation rather than stability and you are backing that. i don't see how it can get more chaos than the chaos we see... by having no confidence motion. what we saw last night was 117 of her own parliamentary party vote against her, nearly 40% of her own mps. she cannot get this deal through parliament. i hate to say this, but iam parliament. i hate to say this, but i am interesting to see what you define as a success. you describe it in scotland it was 62 — 38%. this one was 62,37, in scotland it was 62 — 38%. this one was 62, 37, she has done well in your terms! with all due respect you cannot compare our parties own mps, a leader in a party and voting against her, to a public vote. that is why we need to get this logjam broken, winning the opposition to come together, the elements that are unhappy over what she is doing in parliament to get to a solution where we can, if necessary, i

support the people's vote, get it back to the people but we certainly have to break logjam. it cannot be acceptable, i that no deal, no mandate and majority for no deal in parliament and no majority for her dead duck deal in parliament. can we pick up on the 117 who voted against their party leader? there is nothing to suggest that those people would vote with you against prime minister. in fact, what we have heard literally from these people ‘s mouths is that they would not vote for a no—confidence bill if it were brought forward by the labour party or yourselves. indeed. the idea that we have to have a no—confidence motion is a problem that has been crated by the leadership of the labour party, basically saying that in order to get to the point of going back to the country and having a people's vote, we have to go through the stage of having a no—confidence motion in the general election. that is why we put in that position. it is injeremy corbyn's

hans. tuc and other route to a referendum? —— do you see. can you plot that pathway for us? it may seem plot that pathway for us? it may seem implausible but it is possible that theresa may may feel now, having been to this leadership contest having been to this leadership co ntest a nd having been to this leadership contest and despite all she has said, she may think she has a better chance of getting the deal accepted igo into chance of getting the deal accepted i go into the country than through parliament. i use a index would not be another meaningful vote! —— are you saying. they are supposed to be a meaningful vote, the government is running down the clock trying to avoid having it. we ought to have it but she may decide that there is an easy way to deal with it. it sounds implausible at the moment, she has had over again as she does not want a referendum at maybe that is her only way out. thank you very much for talking to us. it is 11 minutes to seven. time now for a look at the weather with matt. it is chilly here in westminster at

the sky seems pretty clear at the moment. i think it might start to feel colder. lovely at the moment but certainly a day for the jacket out there across the country. it will be for the next couple of days. today the cold air comes strong wind, that made feel chillier. frosty nights to follow but by the weekend we shift that cold air away but while some will see brain of the others will receive a little bit of snow. at the moment, they clear out. is coming in off the near continent, very cold flow of wind and out in the west, the wind particularly strong, 40— 50 mph gust that we may seek rain across cornwall and northern ireland into the afternoon. a few showers in aberdeenshire and shetland. the vast majority of the country has a dry day and the clouds breaking up in the south and east.

that are developing through the days. those south—east wins will be key to the waiting still outside. strong wind, pretty biting wind as well. temperatures on thermometers around 6— eight degrees. factor in the strength of that wind, across the strength of that wind, across the uk it will feel one degree or two across the uk wherever you are. a day to wrap up well. we finish with some clear skies around and with some clear skies around and with wind going later tonight, it will certainly be a cold night. temperatures dropping to freezing or below. where we see the blue on the chart this is where the air temperature will be below freezing. widespread frost into tomorrow morning. it means there should be a brighter start for many. colder areas face but gradually mild air will be creeping towards us. in the far west that means we will always bea far west that means we will always be a little bit more cloud as that mild air tries to push in. we will see some spots of rain here and there. prog we are dry day in northern ireland and cornwall. there are also showers in aberdeenshire and shetland, just a small chance

later around the likes of the south—east, one or two showers. these are the two temperatures for tomorrow. lower than today but you have to factor in the wind would require a strong. still quite chilly. that mild air shows how we could push into the weekend as this first weather front works its way in. ringing a few white flakes of snow, nothing is to get at it is this area of low pressure developing through the day turning what across many western areas on saturday but is that hits the cold air across northern england, northern ireland, to bea northern england, northern ireland, to be a bit of snow in high ground and then a good covering of snow on the heels of scotland. keeping snow is too low levels as temperatures only struggle of freezing and across some eastern parts but towards the west u p some eastern parts but towards the west up to around 12 degrees in plymouth by the end of the afternoon and that warmer air, mild air will gradually push through as we go into sunday. there is an end in sight to the cold conditions at the moment. you know what that looks like, it

looks like christmas shopping. that is what it looks like. inder was. —— indoors. ben is in the city of london to find out how markets and it -- london to find out how markets and it —— businesses are reacting to the new. i hope you are picking up our presence! iam not i am not indoors, i iam not indoors, i have i am not indoors, i have so many layers on. welcome to the leadenhall market here in this part of city of london. this has survived it all. world wars, fires, recessions and businesses get on with things. while the tory party may have given theresa may that vote of no confidence yesterday, there are big ocea ns confidence yesterday, there are big oceans as to whether business is prepared to have faith minister to deliver the brexit that they want. do they want out of this deal? frankly we are no further forward after the events of the last 26 hours then we were earlier on in the week. far from striking trade deals,

that brexit deal is concerned. claire barro is here to talk with me. morning. we often see the initial reactions to all of the sort of games. if that gives us an indication of the incident, what do they make of it? not much, judging by what has happened in asian markets overnight. the caveat is thatis markets overnight. the caveat is that is very thinly traded, not much currency that is very thinly traded, not much currency traded because it is too risky. any political shock the pound goes down, any good news it goes up. overnight the pound has gone down marginally, telling you that people think majority that reason they secured last wasn't convincing enough. is not enough to completely bury their chances of a vote of no confidence coming maybe from the opposition and frankly, there is still a chance that we could end up with no brexit, which is what businesses fear the most. theyjust wa nt businesses fear the most. theyjust want clarity, in or out, they want the deal. that is the issue. they

wa nt the deal. that is the issue. they want clarity and yet we are no further forward than we were 48 hours ago. there is still so much work to do. that uncertainty is really damaging today. it really is. the uncertainty that attests itself in the fact that businesses do not wa nt in the fact that businesses do not want to invest. is very uncertain time between now and march 29, allegedly brexit day, whether that happens remains to be seen. why would any business make a decision now and they can put it off and have now and they can put it off and have no cert event knowing actually what is happening. in the meantime, small businesses are finding it hard to manage the swings in currency that are occurring if they are buying their goods and services from abroad. in terms of how it is affecting real people, it businesses are not investing then that is fewer jobs, less pay rises, all filtering down to how we live our everyday lives. i wanted to get onto that, it is easy for us to talk about economic growth and rates of inflation and importing costs and

currencies, but they today this could have an effect and that has an effect because people put off maybe buying a new marketing campaign, taking on new staff, extending their business. that is the stuff that could be the most damaging to the economy. absolutely. we sought from the data on tuesday that the domestic economy in britain has ground to a halt. all of the main areas, manufacturing, services, are anaemic growth is forecast. what we haven't quite senior which would be a real lurch down is the impact on the consumer, on you and me, we asked any in the wonderful hall in london, a magnet for people coming christmas shopping, but if we do not have the excuse of christmas to spend money, will we keep spending and that is when we could realistic to start things slide. thank you for that. stay warm. we will be here over the course of the morning. in the next hour i will speak to two

people who have very different views about what they have heard over the past four hours a weekjoin me for that. —— past four hours a weekjoin me for that. -- 44 past four hours a weekjoin me for that. —— 1111 hours. —— 26 hours. what's going on, coming live from westminster. in the next 15 or so, so much focus within the tory party. whether or not you are tired of that debate, in a short while we will be getting too conservative and piece together. one very much backing theresa may, one who is much against and their positions remained the same despite last night's vote. talking to them shortly. it will be lively and warm it up. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. the london assembly is demanding the mayor, sadiq khan takes urgent action to tackle the high levels of violence in the capital. there's been more than 120 murders in london so far, this year. the police and crime committee says it welcomes the newly formed

violence reduction unit, but is concerned about the lack of detail about how it will operate. the mayors office says it's "clear there is no one single solution to tackling this complex issue". west ham united have agreed to pay an additional £650,000 a season to use the london stadium if they want to take the capacity up from 57 to 66,000. the figure was revealed in a joint letter from west ham and the stadium's operators e20 to the london assembly. the agreement was reached minutes before a potentially costly court case, lasting up to six weeks, was due to start. for those desperate to escape the busy christmas bustle, the postal museum might have just the ticket. it's now offering walking tours through its subterranean network. visitors can explore the century old tunnels, which used to transport mail between depots under the capital's streets. it's something that is really different, something most people have never experienced. but also the smallest

of the tunnels. there are places where you have to bend over in orderjust to get through because the ceiling height is very low because these tunnels were designed to carry mail and not transport people. let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting on the tubes this morning, the bakerloo line has severe delays northbound and minor delays southbound folowng an earlier incident earlier at a local depot. on southwestern trains this morning there is no service between guildford and surbiton via effingham junction due to signalling problems with some srvices diverteed via woking. traffic on the a13 is building westbound from dagenham into barking. on the m25 there's one lane closed clockwise towardsjunction 6 at godstone following a breakdown, traffic is slow back towards the clacket lane services. now the weather with elizabeth rizinni. hello, good morning. wrap—up warmly today, it's going to feel mighty chilly. the air is cold and there will be quite a lot of wind chill to factor into today's temperatures too. a very brisk and a bitter south—easterly wind blowing, but it will stay dry and there'll be good spells of sunshine

around as well. it's quite a cloudy start, a lot of that cloud breaking up as we head through the morning. some decent spells of sunshine as head through the afternoon. top temperatures only between three and six celsius, but in reality it will feel colder than that because the wind will pick up some gusts of 30 mph, feeling quite raw in exposure to that wind and a lot colder than those numbers suggest. but the winds will ease down overnight tonight, lighter wind, lots of clear skies around, a bit of cloud was the east, most places seeing frost my morning with temperatures down into —1 or —2 degrees celcius. a cold and frosty start to the day tomorrow. the air is even colder tomorrow, but the wind won't be quite strong. still feeling chilly, dry with spells of sunshine, if you are out christmas shopping, turning wet by saturday afternoon and mild by sunday. 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 charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt — live at westminster after a dramatic 26 hours in british politics. our headlines have some flashing images. theresa may vows to fight on as she survives a crucial leadership challenge. the parliamentary party does have confidence. but the prime minister's authority is dealt a blow as more than 100 of her mps vote against her. a significant number of colleagues did cast a vote against me and i've listened to what they've said. her supporters have urged the party to "move on", but her fiercest critics say the pm should resign the prime minister may have won the confidence of her party, but does business have faith in her to

deliver the brexit deal they want. i am in the city of london this morning assessing what the city makes up the chaos in westminster. also this morning: french police ask for the public‘s help to find the man suspected of killing two people at a christmas market in strasbourg. manchester city win their champions league group, but there's pain in spain for united, who're well beaten in valencia — they're through, but it's red faces all round. as they are all demonstrating today, it isa as they are all demonstrating today, it is a date for the big coats. a cold day with a biting wind. could get milder this weekend, but with it some snow. i will have all the details on breakfast. it's thursday the 13th of december. our top story: the prime minister is still in post and back in business this morning — after surviving a bruising vote of no confidence which saw more than a third of her own mps vote against her. she'll meet eu leaders in brussels later to try to win concessions on her brexit deal, in an attempt to break the deadlock at home — and get her plan through parliament.

but what realistic chance does she have after last night's events? jonathan blake looks back at an extraordinary 26 hours for theresa may. his report contains some flash photography. back to number ten at the end of what theresa may herself described as a long and challenging day, but it was not quite over yet. mps had voted for or against theresa may as conservative leader, and the result, when it came, meant she survived. the result of the ballot held this evening is that the parliamentary party does have confidence. in the end, 200 mps backed theresa may, and 117 voted against her. the prime minister could not ignore the fact that a third of tory mps had voted to remove her as leader, but she said the result would let her get on with the job.

we now need to get on with the job of delivering brexit for the british people and building a better future for this country, a brexit that delivers on the vote that people gave, that brings back control of our money, our borders and our laws, that protectsjobs, security and the union, that brings the country back together rather than entrenching division. like the country, the conservative party is divided over brexit. supporters frame the vote as a convincing win for theresa may, critics claim it was worse than she would have hoped and called on her again to resign. the prime minister must realise that under all constitutional norms, she ought to go and see the queen urgently and resign. the prime minister survives this challenge to her leadership but her biggest problems have not gone away — getting changes to the brexit deal from the eu and convincing enough mps to support it. jonathan beake, bbc news, westminster. theresa may won that vote

of confidence last night — by 200 votes to 117. now that she's seen off that challenge, it means she's safe from another leadership contest for a year. but last night she promised mps she'll stand down as leader before the next scheduled election in 2022. however, there could be a general election before that if labour tables and wins a motion of no confidence against her government. and, of course, there's that delayed meaningful vote in parliament. mps must vote on that deal — whatever shape it ends up taking — by the 21st of january. we're joined now by our political correspondent iain watson in downing street. good morning, iain. so she is there, at least for now. she is. she is literally here for the moment. going

to brussels later today. but at what cost victory. she has had to put a sell by date on her own premiership. no matter what happens she has admitted to own mps that she will not be there after the next election. some people will interpret that as weakness. strangely enough, besar as it sounds, that could make a stronger in brussels —— bizarre. she can say when she goes there for this european council, this european summit today, look at the elite level of opposition i have within my own party. unless i can come back with some concessions, the irish backstop, as it is called, the way of avoiding a hard border in ireland, i could be in trouble. if northern ireland's dup defectors are voting with the opposition she could potentially be out of office. —— defect. they want to go on

negotiating with the person they have negotiated with in the past couple of years, that could give her the strength to get some of the concessions she needs. iain, thank you very much. so the prime minister will meet with eu leaders in brussels later to try to secure changes to the brexit deal. but officials there have consistently said renegotiation is not an option, so can theresa may convince them otherwise? james reynolds is in brussels for us this morning. good morning to you. on the one hand you have theresa may, and i think she has used the phrase negotiating, but they have said they will not do it. so what happens? they are not going to renegotiate, they say, the withdrawal deal. that is locked down. that to them is now a testa m e nt. down. that to them is now a testament. it cannot be touched. but, being europe, there is possibly a way around that. they might be able to say, leaders here, let us leave that deal as it is, but, at the same time, they may be able to offer theresa may some kind of

reassurances, written reassurances which may be tagged along to a political declaration to talk about the backstop, the insurance about the backstop, the insurance about the irish border, say that we hope this is temporary, we hope to find other alternatives in the future. that might be something they can give her. bear in mind at her statement in downing street she made it clear that she wanted notjust political assurances but legal assurances as well. that might be difficult to find. james, thank you very much. let's bring you some other news now. hundreds of police, soldiers and border agents are involved in the hunt for a gunman, suspected of opening fire near a christmas market in strasbourg. cherif chekatt killed two people and injured 13 more in the attack on tuesday evening. german police have also joined in the search, after suggestions he may have fled across the border. navtej joehal reports. the most wanted man in europe. cherif chekatt is suspected of bringing terror to strasbourg — and now police want him brought to them. the search for the 29—year—old continues today, with hundreds

of police, soldiers, and border agents on both sides of the border between france and germany. french authorities have acknowledged that he may no longer be in the country. it's believed the gunman who opened fire near strasbourg's famous christmas market on tuesday evening, killing two people and injuring 13 others, was himself injured in a shootout with soldiers. police have warned people not to approach cherif chekatt, who was already known to security services as a possible islamist terrorist threat. but at his apartment in nearby neudorf, a neighbour, who did not want to be identified, painted a different picture of the suspect. translation: there was no sign of radicalisation. he's a really normal person. yeah, i can't say more than normal. he was nice too, as i say. he respected women. meanwhile, the french prime minister has said the country will be

stepping up security in the wake of the attack, particularly around christmas markets. as the tributes mount, france is now on the highest level of alert. navteonehal, bbc news. seven people have died and more than 110 are injured, after a train crash in the turkish capital of ankara this morning. reports suggest a high speed train crashed into a locomotive carrying out routine checks on the same track, in snowy conditions. emergency services are currently working to rescue people from badly damaged carriages. thousands of people held candlelit vigils across new zealand yesterday to remember murdered british backpacker grace millane. the 22—year—old was found dead more than a week after she was reported missing from a hostel in auckland. friends and family also gathered in her home town of wickford in essex to pay tribute to her. a 26—year—old man will appear in court next month charged with her murder. albert square has been the centre

of a lot of drama over the years, but now there's outrage about how much a redevelopment of the set is costing. the bbc has been criticised by the national audit office for a £27 million overspend on the project, which is also likely to be completed two years late. the original set was built in 1984 and has now been deemed unfit for purpose. the bbc says it's had delays with procurement and negotiating contracts. those are the main stories this morning. let's take a look at today's front pages, which are of course dominated by last night's vote of confidence in the prime minister. the mail is perhaps the most supportive of the papers — insisting theresa may must now be left to get on with the job of brexit. the telegraph says the prime minister has been given a vote to "remain" but asks when she'll "leave"? it says she now faces a mountain to climb to get her deal through parliament.

the sun doesn't hold back either — "time to call it a may" is its front page message to the prime minister. but the harshest write—up comes from the daily mirror, which says "it's lame duck for christmas", claiming mrs may was only able to fend off rebel tory mps by promising to quit before the next general election. joining us now are the conservative mps ed vaizey, who's a vocal supporter of mrs may, and peter bone, who last night said she should "get a good night's sleep and then resign". very good morning to you, gentlemen. just for those who have not followed every twist and turn of this. who voted what last night? well, 3796 of conservative mps voted against the prime minister. and you? absolutely. and the overwhelming majority of backbenchers did. so the result was very damaging to the prime minister. she said after 2017, disastrous general election, that she would

only lead the party while she had the support of the parliamentary party, clearly, substantially she does not have that. for those people who don't know... i voted for the prime minister. by one of the backbenchers who supported her. are you pleased with the result in terms of the proportion? and delighted. she wanted those of the vote. listening to peter talk we live in a parallel fa ntasy listening to peter talk we live in a parallel fantasy land. he is saying it is 52- 48, it is parallel fantasy land. he is saying it is 52— 48, it is very important we listen to the 48 and perhaps we could have a compromise and get through on brexit. but of course his attitude and his colleagues know it is my way or the highway. mrs may has an emphatic majority, even though we only got one third of the vote they say she has resigned. there is no compromising with peter bone or his colleagues. we have to get a solution for brexit. we have two get behind the prime minister. they need to see some sense. peter bone, the majority of the party has

spoken. isn't it time to get behind your leader now and help push this through? i thought the important thing is when she spoke last night she realised the seriousness of the rebellion and said she listened. so lam assuming rebellion and said she listened. so i am assuming that what will happen is that we will get a deal put to parliament that we can vote for over brexit. if that happens that will be a good process and it will be the right thing to happen. we will see. you think the 117 figure has effectively scared her? do you think thatis effectively scared her? do you think that is how she... nobody expected more than about 80 people to vote against the prime minister. he downplayed it and said it wasjust against the prime minister. he downplayed it and said it was just a third. it was at closer to 40%. the fa ct third. it was at closer to 40%. the fact is only got 200 people voting for her the vast bulk of those were those who relied on a job. away from the statistics for a moment. are you feeling emboldened in a strange way, you did effectively lose the vote last night, but do you feel

emboldened in that this might make a real impact on what she brings back? if the result of this is that she unites the conservative party behind their real brexit, that is a real thing —— unites. we won't know until january that is possible. she can go and say i have a problem back in my parliament is, to brussels, and that you have to give me more so people can uniting go to parliament. ed vaizey, you have been a remain a budget back theresa may consistently throughout this process, since she has been negotiating with brussels, what does she need to bring back, tangibly, what does the conservative party need to hear a change to this deal, an amendment to the still to see a smooth transition of vote? —— remainer. it is an incredible deal that she has negotiated. i said again and again that peter and his gang will not listen to be 48%, he

is now saying listen to the minority of conservative mps voted against the prime minister. even now he is impugning the motives of those who voted for the prime minister, saying they then pay back the jobs. it is nonsense. this is an amazing deal. it will not be reopened. if we don't vote it through there will be a hard brexit. the has been a very collocated a lengthy negotiation. i keep making the point, if the archangel gabriel arrive tomorrow with a deal from heaven, the brexiteers would still find something wrong with it. something in their psyche, they have to get going. and yet, here we are... to pick up on that point those in the party against foot theresa may, for payment referred to some of them as extremist. there is a sense from anyone watching what is going on that that support for theresa may regardless of what she does is never going to a peer. the problem is that the parliamentary

parties is basically two thirds remain and one third leave. the british people decided we had to leave and what the government has to do is honour what the british people decided, not what ed wants. that is the problem and that is that eleanor. how you solve that is pretty difficult, but let's hope in the next few weeks that and happened. can i ask a procedural thing, are you bet absolutely certain there will be another meaningful vote? yes, certain there will be another meaningfulvote? yes, the certain there will be another meaningful vote? yes, the private is the promise that and i am sure it will happen and i think, byjanuary 21. i think there has to be, but it is good question. that is an important moment, you said i. well it is pointing towards a no deal at the moment because parliament has to have a meaningful vote on the withdrawal agreement and has to pass legislation. if we can get a majority to do that, what happens? -- if majority to do that, what happens? —— if we can't. majority to do that, what happens? -- if we can't. you think anybody listening to this conversation is any the wiser? no, i don't think...

if they care about it, if they care about our petty squabbles and they are probably tearing their hair out as it is completely exasperating and i think we are fit away from getting a deal to get out a brick europe. i heard jacob rees mogg saying it doesn't deliver on the process, it isa doesn't deliver on the process, it is a staging post getting us out of the eu, the next would deliverfully on the promises. thank you very much. we are out here at westminster, it is very cold down here at westminster. time now for a look at the weather with matt. you are in the studio. it makes a nice change, turns things around. is cold out there, cold uk wide. with it, and added wind chill. the wind light tomorrow but the consequence of that will be a frosty start into friday morning and then, as things try to get a bit mild through the weekend, be prepared one or two of you could see a little bit of snow too. today anyway, coming off

continental europe a chilly breeze and a strong one out in the race west we have weather fronts trying to wring milder air but failing miserably. we will bring rain to the morning, heavy in northern ireland and cornwall. at the same time, shetland will see showers of the day but for a vast majority of you, i suppose or word of comfort, it is dry and increasing amounts of sunshine but that breeze coming in from the south—east will be strong, especially in the west and that will add to the wind chill. while cabbages will stay around for—8d on the thermometers. when you factor in the thermometers. when you factor in the wind, what it will feel like is close to freezing weather you have the sunshine or the cloud and the wind strongest in the west, we will notice that breeze. tonight, the wind will fall like, some spots in northern ireland, the isles of scilly, but most will be dry. clear skies like confetti yesterday and then of course, with white wind, it

means there will be a much colder one. averages below freezing as we head into tomorrow. the cold air in place, while air try to have another push, it is could be a slow process, for most of the day we will stick with the cold air across the country. a few showers in the north—east, dry and slightly bright day in northern ireland and also towards the far south—west. what's of sunshine for most of the day and temperatures are little bit down, three orfour celsius. as temperatures are little bit down, three or four celsius. as we go into friday night. this is where changes will take a bit more of pace across the uk. wants to get this weather front coming through during the night we could see a few light fla kes night we could see a few light flakes of snow here and there but this is more significant feature to the south—west, some rain spreading in across south—west england, northern ireland through the days. the rain for most could turn wintry across the high ground and then there is a chance of a bit of snow

in the pennines, the lake district and most significantly across scotland, snow over the hills and even potentially to lower levels as well. keep checking the forecast. told across northern and eastern areas on saturday, 12 degrees and much mild to the west and that mild airwill much mild to the west and that mild air will push across as we go into sunday. the rain and snow clearing the way. dry weather around on sunday, a few showers particularly across the south. things are set to change into the weekend. for the time being, a pretty told they had. —— cold day at head. —— cold day ahead. it is one of those cold, crisp, rather beautiful mornings. that is the shot of westminster itself and nippy out here. the sun is going to come out. westminster has been the focus of the political turmoil but what do people living outside london think about the week's events? john maguire is in sunderland for us, which voted to leave the eu. morning john. you are right, it is very warm but

still dark. we are just looking you are right, it is very warm but still dark. we arejust looking in, at the natural garth —— natural glass centre. liam is blowing a business ball. with those furnaces are set at 1100 degrees. they roll the molten glass around the end of the molten glass around the end of the rod. a bit like gathering up honey and then they blow it and that will make a christmas bauble. some of the beautiful items they may care. we are right at wearside, where we do get a bit of daylight you'll get a fantastic view of the river just you'll get a fantastic view of the riverjust outside. you'll get a fantastic view of the river just outside. you you'll get a fantastic view of the riverjust outside. you can even get married here. sunderland has a great tradition of returning vote first. from general elections, from referendums, the euro referendum 61% of people voted to leave. lots of

debates taking place this morning especially between two gentlemen. to duncan croute and george curry. i will let you figure out which side of the fence they sit on or stand on as we go through the discussion. george, to you, what you make of the events last night? disappointed. i think the conservatives ought to have grabbed hold of the issue that is before us. we have got a brexit deal negotiated by our prime minister which we know will not work. remainers and levers all say it will not work. —— leavers. we know that if she tries to get changes they will be cosmetic and not substantive. we now know that we have a prime minister who has lost her authority. we know we have got a prime minister, as matthew parris put it, has broken wings. we now we “ we now put it, has broken wings. we now we —— we now know we have a prime minister where over a third of her

party will not support her. when you add the dup in we are talking about 40% of the population. might frankly, she should resign and go and we need some body else get into position and take over the country and give us a vision because we voted as a nation to get out of europe. whether we like it or not, thatis europe. whether we like it or not, that is what we voted. if she wants to deliver on brexit, that means we have to leave. her deal does not have to leave. her deal does not have a sleeping. —— us leaving. duncan, you stood for parliament a few times, if things went the way he wa nted few times, if things went the way he wanted to you would have been one of the mps voting last night. watson do you have of the result, a correct victory you might describe. delighted with the results of the isil some mps of our party had left their senses because there was a real threat in the opposition in jeremy corbyn, who i am really genuinely terrified, being the

possibility, the possibility of being elected the prime minister and his merry men and women as the government. i cannot get over what they were doing. the nonsensical idea that i can change the leader, go back to brussels and negotiate a better deal, isjust go back to brussels and negotiate a better deal, is just can tweet and butter nonstarter. i was absolutely does not delighted with the result, she is absolutely determined to get what is best for britain. you wonder whether she has, she certainly does not have a mandate that she had when she first became prime minister. you wonder what would ballroom there is. what sort of debating authority she has, or negotiating authority she has, or negotiating authority she has, in europe anyway. we were told bluntly by the prime minister that they would not be a better deal. we we re they would not be a better deal. we were told by europe, byjean—claude juncker and michel barnier, that

this is the best you can get. the only thing we can do now, this project fear about jeremy corbyn coming in, that will not help us at all. need a leader of the conservative party who is going to give a vision to the country and deliver on brexit. just a last word, what is next? support the prime minister. get behind the prime minister. get behind the prime minister. i say this to all in the house of commons, they have to do little what is best for britain. the problem with the opposition front bench, they are opportunist. this is beyond policy, this is uniting the country socially, geographically, this prime minister has delivered and will continue to deliver. thank you for talking to us this morning. if you are looking for unity, you find it on the red so far. but is it from us for the moment. we will hand

you to our regional news teams for the news, travel and weather where you are watching from breakfast this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. the london assembly is demanding the mayor, sadiq khan takes urgent action to tackle the high levels of violence in the capital. there's been more than 120 murders in london so far, this year. the police and crime committee says it welcomes the newly formed violence reduction unit, but is concerned about the lack of detail about how it will operate. the mayors office says it's "clear there is no one single solution to tackling this complex issue". west ham united have agreed to pay an additional £450,000 a season to use the london stadium if they want to take the capacity up from 57 to 66,000. the figure was revealed in a joint letter from west ham and the stadium's operators e20 to the london assembly. the agreement was reached minutes before a potentially costly court case, lasting up to six weeks, was due to start. for those desperate to escape

the busy christmas bustle, the postal museum might have just the ticket. it's now offering walking tours through its subterranean network. visitors can explore the century old tunnels, which used to transport mail between depots under the capital's streets. it's something that is really different, something most people have never experienced. but also the smallest of the tunnels. there are places where you have to bend over in orderjust to get through because the ceiling height is very low because these tunnels were designed to carry mail and not transport people. let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting on the tubes this morning the bakerloo line has severe delays northbound and minor delays southbound folowng an earlier incident earlier at a local depot. on southwestern trains this morning services between guildford and surbiton via effingham junction are running with delays and some cancellations due to earlier signalling problems. northbound traffic

on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich rd flyover. traffic on the a1 is heavy soutbound through borehamwood into stirling corner at junction for the a411 barnet way. now the weather with elizabeth rizinni. hello, good morning. wrap—up warmly today, it's going to feel mighty chilly. the air is cold and there will be quite a lot of wind chill to factor into today's temperatures too. a very brisk and a bitter south—easterly wind blowing, but it will stay dry and there'll be good spells of sunshine around as well. it's quite a cloudy start, a lot of that cloud breaking up as we head through the morning. some decent spells of sunshine as head through the afternoon. top temperatures only between three and six celsius, but in reality it will feel colder than that because the wind will pick up some gusts of 30 mph, feeling quite raw in exposure to that wind and a lot colder than those numbers suggest. but the winds will ease down overnight tonight, lighter wind, lots of clear skies around, a bit of cloud was the east, most places seeing frost my morning with temperatures down into —1 or —2 degrees celcius. a cold and frosty start to the day tomorrow.

the air is even colder tomorrow, but the wind won't be quite strong. still feeling chilly, dry with spells of sunshine, if you are out christmas shopping, turning wet by saturday afternoon and mild by sunday. 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 charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt, coming to you live this morning from westminster. let us bring you up—to—date with last night's developments. theresa may is going to back to work today after surviving a bruising vote of no confidence which saw more than a third of her own mps vote against her — we should warn you there are flashing images coming up. she'll meet eu leaders in brussels, where she will seek reassurances that contingency measures to prevent a hard border in ireland will be temporary.

mrs may will be hoping to get her plan through parliament in the new year. i am pleased to have received the backing of my colleagues in tonight's ballot. whilst i'm grateful for that support, a significant number of colleagues did cast a vote against me and i've listened to what they've said. following this ballot we now need to get on with the job of delivering brexit for the british people and building a betterfuture for this country. a brexit that delivers on the vote that people gave, that gives back control of our money, our borders, and our laws, that protectsjobs, security, and the union, that brings the country back together, rather than entrenching division. that must start here in westminster, with politicians on all sides coming together and acting in the national interest. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said the vote had "changed nothing" and said he will table a no—confidence motion that all mps — notjust conservatives — will be able to vote in when they felt they had a chance of winning it, forcing a general election.

to hold her brexit vote this week because she knew she did not have the full support of her own mps, let alone the rest of the house of commons, i find it very difficult to see that unless she manages to get dramatic changes made to the withdrawal agreement, that does not seem to be the case because she is not changing any of her red lines, this deal she has in the table will not go through. the dup, which helps keep mrs may in power, say the issue of the backstop is still the major concern for them. but he said the dup would not support a no—confidence motion in parliament at this stage. our focus has been ourfocus has been on our focus has been on the withdrawal agreement. to get the support of other colleagues across the parliament. i don't think this vote changes much in terms of the arithmetic of that. that is our concern. mps were tweeting their reactions to the results last night. the chancellor phillip hammond, who's a supporter of the pm said it was time to focus on the future —

adding the deal means they can honour the referendum result. backbencher andrea jenkyns voted against mrs may, but said she will continue to fight to honour the referendum result and would not support the pm's brexit deal. and labour leaderjeremy corbyn said the vote changes nothing and that the prime minister is unable to deliver a brexit deal that works for the country. hundreds of police, soldiers and border agents are involved in the hunt for a gunman, suspected of opening fire near a christmas market in strasbourg. cherif chekatt killed two people and injured 13 more in the attack on tuesday evening. german police have also joined in the search, after suggestions he may have fled across the border. police are now asking for the public‘s help to locate the suspect, who they say was radicalised while in prison. at least seven people have died and more than 40 are injured, after a train crash in the turkish capital of ankara this morning. reports suggest a high speed train

crashed into a locomotive carrying out routine checks on the same track, in snowy conditions. emergency services are currently working to rescue people from badly damaged carriages. thousands of people held candlelit vigils across new zealand yesterday to remember murdered british backpacker grace millane. the 22—year—old was found dead more than a week after she was reported missing from a hostel in auckland. friends and family also gathered in her home town of wickford in essex to pay tribute to her. a 26—year—old man will appear in court next month charged with her murder. donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen has blamed his crimes on the president, saying he felt it was his "duty to cover up his dirty deeds". cohen is the first member of mr trump's inner—circle to be jailed over the special counsel's inquiry into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election. he admitted lying to congress, campaign finance violations and tax evasion. a "hi—tech robot" shown on russian

state television has turned out to be a man dressed in a costume. the russia 24 news channel presented the state—of—the—art dancing robot at a technology forum for school pupils. amazing, isn't it? but images shared online from backstage at the event clearly showed a human inside a robot outfit, through a gap between a bodysuit and a headpiece. there you go. somebody fiddling around the back, sewing him in, or whatever it is you do to a robot. nothing is ever quite as it seems. what do you think? our viewers have really helped out in the last hour. i thought it was an android, which isa i thought it was an android, which is a robot with human qualities, what we are seeing their and talking about is a cyborg, apparently. cyborg, absolutely. charlie, your

porridge has arrived. do you mind if ido porridge has arrived. do you mind if i do the honours? that isjust mean. you know that. it is very nice. raisins and honey. go get formal we do the sport. —— get warm. it's got tougher for manchester united in europe, after they were beaten in their final champions league group match. they had already qualified, for the knock out phase, but they'll have to settle for second place in their group after defeat at valencia — philjones with an embarrassing own goal. they did pull one back and it finished 2—1, but they're now likely to face one of the european heavyweights, in the next round. leroy sane scored both manchester city's goals, including a brilliant free kick, as they came from behind to beat hoffenheim 2—1. manager pep guardiola said it was an "incredible success", to finish top of their group — the only english club to do so. the celtic and scotland striker leigh griffiths is taking time out of the game to deal with what's described as ongoing issues. his manager brendan rodgers says

griffiths has been struggling with mental health problems, as well as other confidential issues, and said he'd be given all the help he needs. leigh has had ongoing issues now for a number of months. and he has done amazing to get through, to play to the level and score some of the goals that he has. but he has reached a point where it is a struggle for him. and for us, we are going to give him all be professional help that he possibly needs to get himself into a good place to come back doing what he does best. england's men, are through to the semi—final of the hockey world cup, after a thrilling victory, over argentina. congratulations to them. harry martin scored the decisive goal in the 3—2 win over the olympic champions.

it's england's third world cup semi—final in a row. they'll now play either germany or belgium in the last four on saturday. the future of horse racing is under threat if issues of horse welfare aren't addressed. that's according to a review into the deaths of horses atjump racing's cheltenham festival. seven horses died as a result of incidents at the fixture earlier this year. now the british horseracing authority has published plans aimed at improving safety, including extra veterinary checks, alterations to some race conditions, and a major project to study faller rates. the four—time tour de france winner chris froome says team sky will be doing everything they can to survive after their owner and main sponsor announced it was pulling out. the broadcaster sky announced yesterday that it will end its decade—long commitment at the end of next year. in an open letter to fans, the team admits their future is in doubt. we have been extremely lucky to have sky as our one sponsor for ten years.

it is very rare in cycling to have a sponsor for that long. i think we are all incredibly grateful for the support and we have still got one more year to go with sky and hopefully during that time we will find someone to fill that position. the former arsenal and england defender tony adams has been named as the surprise new president of the rugby football league. he will take over the role next summer. adams has worked alongside the rfl with his charity, sporting chance, since 2011, assisting with players' mental health. finally, what do sports people do when they retire? many go into coaching or the media. well, former boxer chris eubank is known for being eccentric, usually when it comes to his clothes. but now the 52—year—old has gone to the us where, using his sense of style, to his new role as city marshall — helping the police enforce the law.

i don't have a raincoat like the rest of the officers, but that's ok. it is raining here in louisiana. yes, yes. they both looked a little bit perplexed, naga, but he is getting used to his new role. the only police marshall wearing a bowtie. naga, while you carry on with the coverage from westminster. i will have charlie's porridge. he is very annoyed with you for having. i down on college green. i will show you what is going on. ourfellow broadcasters are gathered here. we have platforms set up. we are all expecting that vote on to steve ingo schmidt we were all. that was obviously postponed, delayed by

theresa may. —— vote on tuesday evening. not everyone believes she won the vote emphatically enough. with me is tom newton dunn. and joey jones, former theresa may advisor. good morning to you both. jones, former theresa may advisor. good morning to you bothm jones, former theresa may advisor. good morning to you both. it is a harsh headline. do you think it will really happen? we're not saying it is time to go prime minister, we are reporting that she will go before the general election. that is the great concession she throughout the rebels to allow her to stay on. how do you think she has dealt with this vote, it was 117 against 200 for her. some say it is not emphatic enough to show true support within the conservative party for her.” think it leaves both sides entitled to claim victory. that is not really help anybody. tom was talking about that concession, saying she would

not want to stand at the next general election. she would not go through. if she had not done that, i think we assume that probably would have won her a couple of dozen votes. if she hadn't done that then the rebels or the people confidence would have been up to 140 or something. she would have been out based on that on that. that decision probably managed to allow her to cling on to a few more weeks and months in downing street. tom, how wounded do you think shias? she is less strong as a result of last night —— she is. her priorities were to get some sort of resolution across the party. joey is right with the mathematics of halle last night worked. less than two thirds of the party wa nted worked. less than two thirds of the party wanted to stay on —— of that vote last night. they are not persuaded that it is the right time. it was close. that is why number 10

through this bondar to the dogs of saying all right, i am going to go sooner saying all right, i am going to go sooner rather than later. —— joey. no one can agree what kind of brexit to get through the commons. there is no agreement. all this is done is cement the harness to the rock. —— ha rd ness cement the harness to the rock. —— hardness of the rock. we are all going to be standing on this cross for a lot longer. there will be none left by the time this resolution goes through. tom says she is weaker. she is. but she has been hanging bya weaker. she is. but she has been hanging by a thread ever since they general election did not go as you would have wished. it is about the width of the thread. she continues to confounders. all the time you think it cannot get any worse than this, it can't get any more difficult. and every time it does and she still there. it is interesting you say confound you. you have worked closely with theresa may in the past. she is resilient. resilient between a rock and a hard

place. is there any sign of this is dissipating at all? i suspect that the way she goes about this is just grinding it out a by hour, day by day, and trying almost not to think about the whole weight and magnitude of the evra expressing in on her —— hour by hour. there is a glorious dawn coming up over was missed at the moment. ithink dawn coming up over was missed at the moment. i think she dawn coming up over was missed at the moment. ithink she headed dawn coming up over was missed at the moment. i think she headed out on eurostar she would not have taken the time to enjoy that. she would be turning to her official saying what doi turning to her official saying what do i need to read, what is the line, who do i talk to next? it is only that ability, the tunnel vision, i suspect, that would allow her to keep grinding on. that tunnel vision has been criticised by many around her. it does have a potential downside as well. she needs to rely very heavily on other people to get out into westminster, to speak to parliamentarians, speak to the country, and offer her a true

accurate vision of what people are really thinking. she has been, someone really thinking. she has been, someone has let her down in that regard in the past few weeks. they we re regard in the past few weeks. they were telling her that she would be able to get that meaningful vote through. and yet, if they had come and spoken to time he would have told that that was not going to happen. the problem is she will come back again from brussels with tweaks and changes to the language and the re st of and changes to the language and the rest of it, but it is still, i mean 99.9% of people on the screen again will say that will not change anything. tom, working for these i newspaper ui hitting a loss of the people, lots of readership, people are quite frustrated —— for these i newspaper ui hitting. they are seeing political machinations rather than moving towards brexit. how can this be sold as a positive thing that the country will move on? very ha rd very hard indeed. any people are fed up very hard indeed. any people are fed up with brexit, whichever way you voted, you want it done. we are far

away from being done with brexit and we have to also remember, it somehow theresa may manages to get some kind of consensus to pass some sort of deal in the next three months, either way i don't think we will leave much 29. pretty obvious there is no way you will get all of the legislation passed and everything agreed in time, some sort of extension. even if she can do that, then you have to go on and start negotiating the future relationship. we haven't even begun that. there is an entire 100 years ahead of us which we have had to live with the eu beside it which we are going to have to have some sort of relationship, that will take you yea rs relationship, that will take you years upon years. the only way to get some sort of consensus, i don't think it will happen. you have to go back to the higher authority which is the british people, to intervene and poor bristol will be bothered again because it will be a general election or referendum. brenda was the one in frustrated and comments

around then. at very much. gone is breaking, that's what we said. take a look, tony will show us gone breaking. it is a chilly morning. let's find out what it is for the rest of the country. time now for a look at the weather with matt. had morning. blue skies over there but they are bringing with them ever colder air today. not just today, the rest of this week looking pretty chilly uk wide. today comes an added chilly uk wide. today comes an added chill thanks to the wind. tonight a frosty night but by the weekend he has turned mild. could actually end up has turned mild. could actually end upa bit has turned mild. could actually end up a bit of snow for some, as i will show you. the chilly wind is coming off central parts of europe, high pressure in scandinavia, a row of cold air uk wide. strong as in the west. weather fronts trying to push in and bring mild air, failing miserably but bringing down morning, northern ireland, part of cornwall, rain will come and go white into the afternoon. showers in aberdeenshire,

shetland, but for most of you it is a dry day even though we have that chilly wind. increasing amounts of sunshine into the afternoon. the sean and that will have an impact on how it feels. temperatures 5— eight degrees uk wide. factoring in that strength of wind, it will feel closer to freezing wherever you are. certainly a day for the warm jacket. into tonight, a few things will happen. clearer skies across the uk. the wind will start to fall lighter. showers north—eastern parts of scotla nd showers north—eastern parts of scotland to the west. most dry. and clear skies you will notice the blues on our temperature chart uk wide. this is where we will see their temperatures 15 below freezing, closer to this little slice of mild air trying to push its way in on friday, again it will be a slow process and most of us stick with the cold air. the air will be colder today but the wind will be that a lighter. most dry and sancho

to the day tomorrow. still some showers affecting aberdeenshire and shetland and later turning cloudy into the far west. temperatures tomorrow for many of you, 3— five degrees. we will see a frost forming quickly to the start of friday night at the through friday into saturday, starting your weekend we see this weather front initially, starting your weekend we see this weatherfront initially, producing starting your weekend we see this weather front initially, producing a few fla kes weather front initially, producing a few flakes of white snow here and there but when this little area of low pressure to the west of ireland sta rts low pressure to the west of ireland starts to develop, pushing stronger wind, outbreaks of rain across ireland, wales, the south—west, the hills of northern england, ireland, a bit of snow and will significant snow over the scottish hills and even into lower ground at times. it is one of those you will have to keep checking the forecast, it could change. northern and eastern areas of sticking with the chilly air, wild in the west and that mild air gets to all as we get into sunday but there will be some early rain across the east of scotland and a few showers across the far

south—west. certainly, the two days, it looks like it will be the driver of the weekend. it certainly is looking lovely, thank you very much. looking very calm over westminster today. a stark contrast of the rather tumultuous four hours that theresa may has enjoyed, but she got through without vote of no—confidence. 200 voted in favour of her, 117 survey did. —— said they didn't. politicans spent last night taking part in that historic vote but for many of the rest of us, normal life continued, and at this time of year, that means christmas parties in full swing. imagine if you had jacob rees mogg and john mcdonnell at a party, how would that be? not quite what we have lined up for you. speaking to them both individually in our gazebo outside with mr. —— outside westminster. our reporterjayne mccubbin gatecrashed a party in leeds to see what people there thought about yesterday.

cheers! maybe, just maybe, this christmas bash in leeds was a bit like the conservative party crisan as those being held at exactly the same time in london. they are having a bash of sorts, are they? it's not the christmas bash. shame. at the pm's party, she was facing the boot. maybe she would have preferred this kind of boot. it is not often you get to drink out of a shoe. it is not often i want to drink out of a shoe. there are supporters here or in leeds like david and gayle voted leave. can she survive? 100%. how anybody thinks to replace or have another government in place they are going to get a different deal in three months, i'm mystified. others felt she should step aside. she has tried the best she could but i think she has not answered. do you think she needs to go? we will know any minute. do you think she needs to go?

possibly, yes. dinner is served in a smooth and orderly fashion, just as theresa may had promised to deliver brexit, not quite as it has turned out. you are a lifelong conservative supporter. iam, yes. would you vote conservative tomorrow if there was a general election? no, i wouldn't. we are stuffed. we are on the piste. where on the slippery slope. but not for theresa may. she had avoided a fall. would you like to have to do what she has done for the past two years? the poor woman. theresa may has won the vote of confidence. and are you confident? does confidence in a leader look like 63%? i don't know. it depends on who you ask. a third of the party voted against theresa may. it is not a massive victory for her. in the referendum it was 49—51%. that was even closer result. maybe, just maybe, theresa may's night ended like this. not likely, really.

less busting a move, more staggering on. but free from a leadership challenge for another year. if not another election. it looks like quite a good party! definitely fund moves there. i wondered how then is finding the reaction in the city of london this morning. businesses have been reacting to the news, over the last 24 hours we saw things like spikes in the pound in its value the euro and the dollar. it is chilly where you are but you are in the gorgeous market. welcome to the heart of the city, the financial outline of the country. this place is beautiful but

it has survived a lot of things. major fires it has survived a lot of things. majorfires and it has survived a lot of things. major fires and deep it has survived a lot of things. majorfires and deep recessions it has survived a lot of things. major fires and deep recessions and get on with it. but i wonder what businesses thought because frankly we are no fought dashed further forward than we were in those negotiations then we were 24 or 48 hours ago. let's talk about that without gas. morning to you. both of you disagree with on issues when it comes to brexit but you can both agree on that we are no further forward , agree on that we are no further forward, business has no further clarity. the truth is, nothing has changed. was weakest prime minister in memory try to promote the worst deal in history. chimneys do is start listening to. a third of her mps have said they don't want to carry on, she lists are creating certainty and the only certainty we have got is that we are leaving next march and we need to prepare full stea m march and we need to prepare full steam ahead properly, totally to go toa steam ahead properly, totally to go to a world trade deal. that is what we lose a managed no deal. we need

to go for that, businesses know exactly where we stand. what is that? it is where we are leaving, it is clear we can't get the deal to parliament seen it in technical arrangements so parliament seen it in technical arrangements so that we leave and things can carry on a shirt afterwards and you avoid. you fundamentally disagree with that idea of a no deal. they will be damaging for your members?” completely deal —— disagree with what he said but i agree that we cannot continue to the chaos we have got now. we are in danger of the biggest failure of public administration this country has seen since the partition of india. is that historic. we need to get on with getting a deal, we need the prime minister to either be able to get through this did parliament. is unlikely but that is above my pay grade. i think it is possible to look at the norway option or a people's vote. one of those things

has to prevail. and no deal, which you have described, i think would be catastrophic for pretend the. we have heard the headlines about the issue of the ladies. —— delays are. he is shaking his head and calls it project fear. i respect richard, who has been strong advocate for his position, but i am engaged with the government on deal planning. is not scaremongering, except in the sense that if it was a verb to explain, thenl that if it was a verb to explain, then i am scaremongering. it is really scary. we are looking at long delays on the motorways, huge disruptions through calais and we are looking at shortages in food and medicine. if business is safe, this is what we are hearing from companies trying to do business now. let's be very clear, this is from

organisations and lobby groups that do not want brexit to happened. the truth is we have lots of other ports. the truth is that smart business people are always very good, we find ways to get around hurdles and job over barriers at. because of the incompetence of this government, we have come to this too late, but there is nothing like a short deadline to focus the minds, concentrate the attention and we will get it done. the suggestion, we have already heard and know full well that the leaders in the port of calais, in normandy, they are not going to put up areas, we are not good to put up barriers, so where are the key was going to emerge? this is literally scaremongering. which remember, there are other parts of the world that we can buy products from and we should welcome that an embrace that. maybe we will produce even more in this country. we are out of time, thank you for both. there isa is a taste of what business makes it. clearly there is a lot for them content with. we are no further for despite the events of the past would

four hours as far as those negotiations are concerned at. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. the london assembly is demanding the mayor, sadiq khan takes urgent action to tackle the high levels of violence in the capital. there's been more than 120 murders in london so far, this year. the police and crime committee says it welcomes the newly formed violence reduction unit, but is concerned about the lack of detail about how it will operate. the mayors office says it's "clear there is no one single solution to tackling this complex issue". west ham united have agreed to pay an additional £450,000 a season to use the london stadium if they want to take the capacity up from 57 to 66,000. the figure was revealed in a joint

letter from west ham and the stadium's operators e20 to the london assembly. the agreement was reached minutes before a potentially costly court case, lasting up to six weeks, was due to start. for those desperate to escape the busy christmas bustle, the postal museum might have just the ticket. it's now offering walking tours through its subterranean network. visitors can explore the century old tunnels, which used to transport mail between depots under the capital's streets. it's something that is really different, something most people have never experienced. but also the smallest of the tunnels. there are places where you have to bend over in orderjust to get through because the ceiling height is very low because these tunnels were designed to carry mail and not transport people. let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting on the tubes this morning the overground has severe delays while the bakerloo line has minor delays. on southwestern trains this morning services between guildford and surbiton via effingham junction are running with delays and some cancellations due to earlier signalling problems. the a24 balham high road is partly blocked northbound at ramsden roa following a collision near balham station. the m25 is slow clockwise from junction 5 at the m26 towardsjunction 6 at godstone following a brief hold for traffic to recover a breakdown.

now the weather with elizabeth rizinni. hello, good morning. wrap—up warmly today, it's going to feel mighty chilly. the air is cold and there will be quite a lot of wind chill to factor into today's temperatures too. a very brisk and a bitter south—easterly wind blowing, but it will stay dry and there'll be good spells of sunshine around as well. it's quite a cloudy start, a lot of that cloud breaking up as we head through the morning. some decent spells of sunshine as head through the afternoon. top temperatures only between three and six celsius, but in reality it will feel colder than that because the wind will pick up some gusts of 30 mph, feeling quite raw in exposure to that wind and a lot colder than those numbers suggest. but the winds will ease down overnight tonight, lighter wind, lots of clear skies around, a bit of cloud was the east, most places seeing frost my morning with temperatures down into —1 or —2 degrees celcius. a cold and frosty start

to the day tomorrow. the air is even colder tomorrow, but the wind won't be quite strong. still feeling chilly, dry with spells of sunshine, if you are out christmas shopping, turning wet by saturday afternoon and mild by sunday. 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 charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt — live at westminster after a dramatic 24 hours in british politics. our headlines have some flashing images. theresa may vows to fight on as she survives a crucial leadership challenge. the parliamentary party does have confidence in theresa may. cheering but the prime minister's authority is dealt a blow as more than 100 of her mps

vote against her. a significant number of colleagues did cast a vote against me and i've listened to what they've said. her supporters have urged the party to "move on", but her fiercest critics say the pm should resign. the prime minister may have won the support of her party, but does business have faith in her to deliver the brexit deal they want? i am live in the city of london looking at what the financial world makes of the chaos in westminster. also this morning — french police ask for the public‘s help to find the man suspected of killing two people at a christmas market in strasbourg. manchester city win their champions league group, but there's pain in spain for united, who're well beaten in valencia — they're through, but it's red faces all round. it isa

it is a day for the warm jacket out there. cold and biting wind across there. cold and biting wind across the uk. staying colder tomorrow but this weekend could some of you see some snow? good morning. welcome to a cold morning in westminster. it's thursday the 13th of december. our top story. the prime minister is still in post and back in business this morning — after surviving a bruising vote of no confidence which saw more than a third of her own mps vote against her. she'll meet eu leaders in brussels later to try to win concessions on her brexit deal, in an attempt to break the deadlock at home — and get her plan through parliament. but what realistic chance does she have after last night's events? jonathan blake looks back at an extraordinary 24 hours for theresa may. his report contains some flash photography. back to number 10 at the end of what theresa may herself described as a long and challenging day, but it was not quite over yet. mps had voted for or against

theresa may as conservative leader, and the result, when it came, meant she survived. the result of the ballot held this evening is that the parliamentary party does have confidence... cheering in the end, 200 mps backed theresa may, and 117 voted against her. the prime minister could not ignore the fact that a third of tory mps had voted to remove her as leader, but she said the result would let her get on with the job. we now need to get on with the job of delivering brexit for the british people and building a better future for this country, a brexit that delivers on the vote that people gave, that brings back control of our money, our borders and our laws, that protectsjobs, security and the union, that brings the country back together rather than entrenching division. like the country, the conservative

party is divided over brexit. supporters frame the result of the vote as a convincing win for theresa may, her critics claim it was worse than she would have hoped and called on her again to resign. the prime minister must realise that under all constitutional norms, she ought to go and see the queen urgently and resign. the prime minister survives this challenge to her leadership but her biggest problems have not gone away — getting changes to the brexit deal from the eu and convincing enough mps to support it. jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. let's run you through some of what happened last night. theresa may won that vote of confidence last night by 200 votes to 117. now that she's seen off that challenge, it means she's safe from another leadership contest for a year last night she promised mps she'll

stand down as leader before the next scheduled election in 2022. however, there could be a general election before that if labour tables and wins a motion of no confidence against her government. and of course there's that delayed meaningful vote in parliament. mps must vote on that deal — whatever shape it ends up taking — by the 21st of january. we're joined now by our political correspondent iain watson in downing street. she is there for the moment, for this morning at least before going on her trip to brussels to try to garner more support and perhaps some change in the language to the deals she will eventually present to parliament. i've got some breaking news. she's actually gone to brussels. we saw a lot of her in the street yesterday in downing street but she went out the back way five

minutes ago. the question is even though she won this confidence vote which was a disaster averted or delayed. to get that deal through parliament, she is going to need some concessions in brussels. strangely enough, her weakness within her own party might be her strength when she arrives in brussels because they've been negotiating with her for nearly two yea rs. negotiating with her for nearly two years. they know if they want to go on negotiating with her, she is facing calls for resignation from inside her party and from the opposition, if they want to try and get a deal over the line potentially that might make them move a bit more on this key issue of the irish backstop, the way of avoiding a hard border in ireland. the difficulty is that she said she was listening to those who voted against her, more than one third of her own party, and they want a legal guarantee that the backstop will in fact be temporary, and perhaps getting that written in blood is going to be a very uphill

task for the prime minister and therefore when she returns to downing street she will have the same trouble she had when she departed. thank you. now the rest of today's main stories. seven people have died and more than 40 are injured, after a train crash in the turkish capital of ankara this morning. reports suggest a high speed train crashed into a locomotive carrying out routine checks on the same track, in snowy conditions. our turkey correspondent can bring us the latest. the minister of transport has made a statement in the last few minutes and the death toll unfortunately has risen to nine. we are talking about nine people who were killed in this latest train crash, and 46 people injured, some of them very seriously. this isn't the first train crash that has taken place

this year in turkey. earlier in july, another train derailed and 24 people were killed. many questions we re people were killed. many questions were asked following that train crash and now similar questions will be asked as well. like, who was responsible, why did this crash take place? the ministry of transport said this was an accident, a collision took place but especially the relatives of the deceased will be asking to learn more. thank you. hundreds of police, soldiers and border agents are involved in the hunt for a gunman suspected of opening fire near a christmas market in strasbourg. cherif chekatt killed two people and injured 13 more in the attack on tuesday evening. german police have also joined in the search, after suggestions he may have fled across the border. police are now asking for the public‘s help to locate the suspect, who they say was radicalised whilst in prison. thousands of people held candlelit vigils across new zealand yesterday

to remember murdered british backpacker grace millane. the 22—year—old was found dead more than a week after she was reported missing from a hostel in auckland. friends and family also gathered in her home town of wickford in essex to pay tribute to her. a 26—year—old man will appear in court next month charged with her murder. albert square has been the centre of a lot of drama over the years, but now there's outrage about how much a redevelopment of the set is costing. the bbc has been criticised by the national audit office for a £27 million overspend on the project, which is also likely to be completed two years late. the original set was built in 1984 and has now been deemed unfit for purpose. the bbc says it's had delays with procurement and negotiating contracts. the time is ten minutes past eight. it's been the most challenging 24 hours of theresa may's political life, but last night she fought off a no—confidence vote

from her own party. but how did it get to this point? let's take a look back at the tumultuous events of the past few days. does this house want to deliver brexit? chanting: three, two, one. is the vote definitely 100% going to happen? yes. if we went ahead and held the vote tomorrow the deal would be rejected by a significant margin. we will therefore defer the vote scheduled for tomorrow. the government has lost control of events and is in complete disarray. other mps will think carefully about whether theresa may is the right person to lead us.

the uk ballot will be held between six and eight o'clock. the parliamentary party does have confidence. cheering. i am pleased to have received the backing of my colleagues. here is our renewed mission. delivering the brexit that people voted for. we're joined now by the conservative former deputy prime minister, lord heseltine, who's in banbury this morning. good morning and thank you for your time. i wonder if you could reflect for a moment on that moment when graham brady reached inside his pocket and brought out the letter and read out that result. what did

you make of those numbers?” and read out that result. what did you make of those numbers? i always believed that she would win a vote of confidence from the members of the parliament on the conservative side. i think it's uncomfortable for her, the number who voted against, even more uncomfortable if you follow the argument that her payroll would have voted for her, i'm not sure that's right but technically you would think the government voted for her. it means that a substantial number of her backbenchers didn't. the fact is, i always believed she would win that fight. of course, it's not the fate that matters. the vote that matters is the one that she hasn't put to the house of commons, and there is no serious grounds for thinking she can win that fate. so, the whole brexit strategy is up in the air. this is

extremely serious because the clock is ticking. you have a labour party that have neutralised themselves under the delusion they are going to get a general election. they are not, and as long as they hide behind that claim parliament won't move on. we have to have that deal on the floor of the house and voted on, and if it's rejected as i hope and believe it will be, then britain faces a very serious and urgent consequences. perhaps the most worrying thing of the whole thing is that it looks like the government is going to let parliament go off for the christmas recess, mps having their mince pies and turkeys next week, without any indication as to how this crisis is going to be resolved. i think parliament should make one hell of a row about the idea they have been pushed off into

the countryside whilst britain hangs under this awful cloud of uncertainty. i'm sure you watched as many people did as she emerged from number ten having heard that 117 of her own members of parliament were against her. they listened carefully to see if there was anything different in her message. many people reflected and it sounded exactly the same as before, the only nod possibly was the line when she saidi nod possibly was the line when she said i am listening. apart from that it felt like the same thing. does she have to carry on regardless? one tries to stick to the issue, but there is an element of deletion about the prime minister. she keeps talking about uniting the country —— an element of delusion about the prime minister. the country is deeply divided and the cabinet is

deeply divided and the cabinet is deeply divided, that reflects public opinion. she talks about a deal that is good for britain. she herself told us we should stay in europe two yea rs told us we should stay in europe two years ago. her own treasury figures tell us it's worse for britain. it's just no good repeating these slogans as though there's an element of truth to them. there isn't. we are in unprecedented times, as you will know. one of the things that has been suggested is if theresa may has the backing of her cabinet full some form of a new arrangement, she could consider bypassing the meaningful vote, possibly getting straight to the nation to have a people's vote. other options available there? yes, i think myself that in fairness to the negotiators on both sides and in fairness to the people who voted to leave, that parliament should now give a decision on the deal that is

available. i think that is constitutionally right. i'm assuming they will reject the deal and there is no sign yet of any change in europe. or any lessening of hostility in the house of commons. we would be left with no deal and then the threat that that would then lead to britain leaving europe without a deal, which would be catastrophic. i think that what needs to happen is for the labour party to realise they aren't going to getan party to realise they aren't going to get an election, tojoin party to realise they aren't going to get an election, to join forces with a wide range of members of parliament including many conservatives, and to go for a second referendum where the public, who now know a great deal more about theissue who now know a great deal more about the issue and the facts and the dangers, should be asked to either reaffirm their view or to change it. are you seriously suggesting we forget about the result of the first

referendum? no, i've told you that i think parliament should vote on the deal that is available. that is, i think, constitutionally right and confirms what the referendum showed. that people wanted to leave. so, they have a deal in which we leave. but parliament of course doesn't like that deal, so where do you break the impasse? i can only see one way of doing it which is to go back to the people and say here is the deal, these are the consequences, are you still committed to leaving? if you are, then parliament must be asked to support the deal that they've rejected. if you want to change your mind, and my own view is the evidence is they will want to change their mind, particularly because there are so many more younger voters in the electorate now than there were two years ago, that in fa ct there were two years ago, that in fact actually britain will fight to

remain in the european union, which is incomparably politically, economically, socially in the interests of this country. thank you very much for your time this morning. i can officially confirm that it morning. i can officially confirm thatitis morning. i can officially confirm that it is nippy in westminster! it is cold but bright, crisp and rather beautiful. good morning, matt. a lovely sunrise here in salford as well. but it is nippy out here. a cold feel across the country thanks to the strength of the wind. tonight it's going to be frosty but as things turn milder through the weekend it could be preceded by a speu weekend it could be preceded by a spell of snowfall some of you. out there at the moment, pretty cold across the country. we've got cold

and dry aircoming across the country. we've got cold and dry air coming in from across the country. we've got cold and dry air coming infrom europe. add to the west the winds are strongest. this weather front is trying to introduce milder air. it will bring rain at times. a few showers, angus, aberdeenshire and into shetland. for much of the uk, a bright enough start with increasing amounts of sunshine through the day. a strong south—easterly wind, strongest in the west, 40—50 mph. these temperatures have been reading 5-8d but uk these temperatures have been reading 5—8d but uk wide feeling closer to freezing all day. it's going to be a really nippy day. tonight, the winds will fall lighter and a couple of things will happen. skies clear, temperatures will drop further. showers easing for a time in northern ireland and the far west of cornwall. temperatures may hold up here but elsewhere where it is blue on the chart, an indication that away from the city centres

temperatures well below freezing. the yellow shows milder air trying to creep closer. it's not going to quite make it through daylight on friday. introducing more cloud into northern ireland and cornwall with a few showers later in the day. for most of you, it's going to be quite a pleasant winter's day. lots of sunshine around, only a small chance ofa sunshine around, only a small chance of a shower towards east anglia and the south—east. note these temperatures. they are lower than today but lighter winds. probably a day that feels fairly similar. that final push of milder air takes place into the weekend. a few flakes of snow through the night. as this pressure in the south—west of ireland gets going, the winds are picking up across the country on saturday. a bright enough start in the east but clouding over quickly in the west. outbreaks of rain developing, turning into snow ever higher ground. significantly set to

turn to snow across scotland. not just the hills but lower ground for a time. things could change but it's still a cold day. milder in the west and all of us should be in the milderairas we go and all of us should be in the milder air as we go into sunday. let's just cool it a little less chilly! at least sunday will be brighter. it's pretty cold outside. a gorgeous view of westminster. theresa may is heading for brussels this morning to attempt to negotiate concessions on her brexit deal — but she leaves behind a party divided. joining us now is the chairman of the conservative party, brandon lewis. good morning. you are a supporter of theresa may. are you pleased with the result of the vote? yes, it's good we've got that behind us. we can now get focused on delivering four people in the country. the prime minister is on a plane heading

to brussels as we speak to continue the negotiations. like there are 117 who weren't giving their support of theresa may, who didn't have confidence in her to lead the party. are those voices quelled? we've also got to remember she got more votes than she did when she won the leadership campaign in 2016. we have a clear set of rules which means there is confidence in the prime minister. i had people messaging me overnight, some of them said they we re overnight, some of them said they were going to vote against her but they respect the decision. we have all got to come back together, delivering on brexit but also the domestic agenda as well. nothing has changed, has it? your government can't get the brexit deal through parliament. that remains as it was. the prime minister was clear earlier this week. she was very clear that there are views across parliament, a range of things. people who want a second referendum, others who want a customs union, others who have got

issues about the backstop. we've got to deliver on brexit. i'm very clear that we have to deliver on that. we think this deal does do that but we also recognise people have got concerned about the backstop, that's why the prime minister was out in europe earlier this week. she was due to be in dublin yesterday. she is flying back to europe now and will continue those negotiations to look to get something legally binding to satisfy people's concerns about the backstop. then we can bring this issue back to parliament. some people watching and hearing what you are saying, it sounds like you aren't aware of the reality of what happens in that place. if she comes back with some notion, something written down which isn't legally binding, it will still be the same number of people who say for whatever reason we aren't going to fight for it. then what? can you give us a and then what? we are aware of the feelings of parliament, thatis aware of the feelings of parliament, that is why we postponed the

meaningful vote. we are aware of the concerns people have got...m meaningful vote. we are aware of the concerns people have got... if i may... the prime minister has said very clearly that she wants to get something legally binding to satisfy concerns about the backstop. what is to stop us going through the same procedure as we've just been through with that meaningful vote cancelled at the last minute, if you're going to the commons and you still think you haven't got the numbers, when you haven't got the numbers, when you cancel it again and then what? the focus is on getting a deal... but people want to know what will happen next. the prime minister has said she wants to get something with the european union that gives a legally binding assurance about the backstop legally binding assurance about the ba cksto p to legally binding assurance about the backstop to satisfy colleagues' concerns about that. that can then go through parliament, we get it through parliament and to live on brexit. what happens if it doesn't go through? the focus has got to be on getting the deal done. if it doesn't go through we end up with a

range of possibilities from no brexit or no deal, neither of which are good for the country. theresa may comes back from a trip around the eu, she has a deal, people still don't think it's going to go through, when are you told this fight will happen? it has to happen before the 21st of january. it will happen sometime between now and the zist. happen sometime between now and the 21st. the timing of that will depend on when we get that agreement with the eu. the prime minister has gone to europe now. i don't think this is going to happen over the next couple of days. this is going to take some time to negotiate, something legally binding will take time. between now and the 21st of march we want to get this back on the floor of the house and get that vote and deliver on brexit. her leadership is damaged. there is also the threat of a motion of no confidence in government.” think the reality, we've seen this on the floor of the house with prime

minister's questions yesterday when the labour party just minister's questions yesterday when the labour partyjust want minister's questions yesterday when the labour party just want to minister's questions yesterday when the labour partyjust want to cause chaos and disruption. jeremy corbyn said he will vote against whatever she brings back. we are very clear... it goes back to the same argument that it's so unlikely this fight is going to go through that you have to have a plan as to what happens after that. jeremy corbyn doesn't have the numbers on his own to defeat this... we've been speaking to the snp and the liberal democrats and... they still do not have the numbers to defeat this. what we've always said is all of us as mp5, when this comes before the floor of the house, we've got to look at what is in the national interest and we've got to make a decision about delivering on what is good for the country. the labour party wa nt good for the country. the labour party want chaos, we want to focus on delivering four people in the uk. on the issue of the meaningful vote, there has been some concern that it may not happen. as chairman of the conservative party, can you

guarantee there will definitely be another meaningful vote? there will bea another meaningful vote? there will be a meaningful vote before the 21st of january. be a meaningful vote before the 21st ofjanuary. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. it is a much colder feeling day to day across the uk. a strong south—easterly wind is bringing the colder air and it will feel really quite bitter out and about. plenty of dry weather. sunny spells developing across most parts of england and wales. some showers in the far north—east of scotland and north—eastern england, with some rain around in the south—west of england. those are the temperatures

that you will see on the thermometers but factor in the strong winds and it will feel more like freezing to one or two. through this evening and overnight with clear skies, it will be cold, with a touch of frost developing across many parts into friday morning. less gold for northern ireland where you keep more cloud. during friday it will be dry with sunny spells but feeling cold with maximum temperature is only about four or five. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with sally bundock in westminster and me, victoria fritz, in the studio. theresa may survives a bruising leadership challenge but is weakened. what are the implications for her brexit deal? live from london, that's our top story on thursday 13th december. theresa may is now heading to brussels for an eu summit,

where she'll seek further concessions in an effort to salvage her brexit deal. just how are political developments in the uk viewed
