hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. french police say they have neutralised the gunman who attacked a strasbourg christmas market on tuesday. theresa may has kept herjob and she's back in brussels trying to save her brexit deal. my my focus now is on ensuring that i can get those assurances that we need to get those deals over the line. the irish backstop remains a major concern for many british mp's — the eu though, remains steadfast. i don't think we could agree to anything that would change the content anything that would change the co nte nt of anything that would change the content of the treaty, the withdrawal agreement. and a day after donald trump‘s personal lawyer is jailed —the president says he never directed him to break the law. start with some breaking news.

"suspected strasbourg shooter cherif chekatt is dead — police source". this happened in the le meinau district of strasbourg, where a police operation has unfolded in the past few hours. these are live pictures from the scene. details are still coming in. local media is reporting that 3—4 gunshots were heard in the area as the police operation unfolded, and a police helicopters was hovering above. this comes after three people were killed in a shooting at a christmas market in strasbourg on tuesday evening, and a huge manhunt in both france and germany

was launched for the gunman. this is the man police were searching for, known to the past, they're searching all over the area, along the border between france and germany. this is the man police were searching for, and police sources are now saying has been killed — cherif chekatt. a 29—year—old with a number of convictions — he's also served jail time in france and germany. he's also known to hold radical islamist views. we'll cross live to the scene shortly. back to our top story — reports are coming in all accounts of the attacks suggest

that it was one person operating alone. a number of shots over a relatively short period of time, u nfortu nately, relatively short period of time, unfortunately, three people lost their lives in that attack. yesterday theresa may survived a no confidence vote, today she's in brussels seeking ways to make her brexit deal palatable to mps back home. here she is leaving the summit a short while ago, she did not speak to the media as she left. this is what she had to say as she arrived earlier today. my focus now is on ensuring that i could get those assurances that we

need to get this deal over the line, because i genuinely believe this and the best interest of both sides, the uk and the eu to get the deal agreed with, i recognise the strength of concern in the house of commons and that is what i'll be putting to colleagues today. i do not expect an immediate breakthrough, but what i do hope is that we can start work as quickly as possible on the assurances that are necessary. mps main concern with the brexit deal is the irish border backstop. if no trade deal is done by the end of 2020, the backstop then kicks in — this guarantees no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. it would keep the uk in the eu customs union until a trade deal is done. but — it has the potential to keep the uk tied to eu regulations indefinitely. and that's why brexiteers want the deal to change.

quad again and again though, the eu's most seniorfigures again and again though, the eu's most seniorfigures are saying the current deal cannot be negotiated. for instance this is ireland's leader leo varadkar. we're very keen to offer explanations assurances, clarifications, anything that may assist mps to understand the agreement and hopefully, to support it. but the backstop is not on the table. should those assurances be legally binding? i don't think we could agree to anything that would change the content. change the content of the withdrawal agreement. so we will have to work out what those assurances are and what those explanations are and what form they will take. brexiteers appear disinterested in assurances unless they are legally binding. there has though been a response the suggestion that the idea of a never—ending backstop could be used as a bargaining device in future uk/ eu trade talks.

this the dutch prime minister mark rutte. if you have first an extension of the membership of the eu, existing space, then there is talk of being able to extend that phase for another two years. if by then, you have not negotiated a new relationship, you need to have some assurance because of the irish border what to do by then. but nobody in their right mind wants that. not the eu, it means you will see that in terms of rules, in terms of legislation, things will start to move apart. which is not good for the european union. i have the greatest respect for her, for her tenacity and her resilience. she really has risen to the occasion. i really admire her. former european commission president jose manuel barroso offers a more positive view, tweet@jmdbarroso, he says ‘i know it's possible there's some flexibility to get a deal acceptable

by the #uk. if there's political will the excellent lawyers of the #eu can find a creative solution for the #backstop issue. and wisdom should prevail btw the eu and u.k.' ben brown from brussels joins us. i think there is a goodwill towards theresa may and towards theresa may's brexit deal. they want to help her get this over the line and in the house of commons, one member of parliament was saying that she has come here to brussels, to the eu summit looking for a christmas miracle, iam summit looking for a christmas miracle, i am not sure she is going to get one, to be honest. and she admitted herself on her way and that she was not expecting an immediate breakthrough. in terms of what the

other eu leaders might differ, they are being asked by her some words of reassurance that might just are being asked by her some words of reassurance that mightjust get some of her critics on the parliament, the house of commons and get this deal through. she has already said that today, there won't be a vote in the house of commons before christmas. so the boat, when it finally comes which is artie been delayed, won't be in tilljanuary now it seems. but then maybe an emergency meeting at the council here, the european council again, another summit here, the european council again, anothersummit in here, the european council again, another summit in january. here, the european council again, another summit injanuary. in order to get some more assurances to the prime minister and try and get this deal through ahead in january. prime minister and try and get this deal through ahead injanuary. it is ha rd to deal through ahead injanuary. it is hard to see exactly what they can give that will satisfy her critics in parliament. whatever they say, would be legally binding? probably

not, some sort of protocol or annexed to the agreement that already is. but eu leader after eu leader arriving here today said that there is no way that the withdrawal agreement all 585 pages of it is going to be reopened and renegotiated. that is just not going to happen. they all agreed on that. what could happen is assurances given in some sort of document, letter and protocols of some kind, but theresa may need something legally binding, i am not sure she's going to get that. why not if she does not get that, is the eu in full no deal preparation? the assembly speeding up no deal preparation, they are worried about that in a sense that it is running out. it is difficult to see that if she cannot get her dealfor the house difficult to see that if she cannot get her deal for the house of commons, what happens next is all

sorts of scenarios. they could be a vote of no—confidence against her government and the house of commons, a new election, calls for another referendum, also the possibilities emerge. i think eu leaders certainly are on her site, they have tried to help her. she her case to them today and the summit for about an hour we gather, she's said that yet that the dinner together, and then she left while they discussed the question of brexit without the british prime minister. while the dutch prime minister was very complimentary about mrs may earlier today, mr rutte used her example to deter anyone in the netherlands keen to leave the eu, tweet@dannyctkemp danny kemp from afp‘s hague bureau tweets, arriving in brussels today, mrs may

confirmed what she was reported to have told conservative mps last night, that her confidence vote was about finishing brexit, and she wouldn't contest the next general election. yes, i have said that, in my heart, i would love to be able to lead the conservative party into the next general election. i think it is right that the party feels that it would prefer to go into that election with a new leader. theresa may won the confidence vote 200 to 117, but not everyone sees that as a victory. opposition leaderjeremy corbyn tweeted last night tweet@bbclaurak our political editor laura kuennsberg quotes dominic raab, theresa may's former brexit secretary, saying

let us askjonathan. let us ask jonathan. what are the tactics was ? there's every chance that they would lose it. because theresa may's conservative party, plus allies in the dep love and course propped up her government and parliament and other working majority, are all in

favour of the government because it is not in their interest to have a general election and that is what would follow if the government lost that vote. so jeremy corbyn would follow if the government lost that vote. sojeremy corbyn is biding his time on that because he wa nts to biding his time on that because he wants to do it at a time in which it has maximum impact and he wants to maintaina has maximum impact and he wants to maintain a position of flexibility to respond to what is a rapidly changing and very dynamic situation with the brexit negotiations ongoing as they are, and theresa may's deal seemingly dead in the water in terms of being able to get through parliament. so that is why he has not done it yet. there are plenty in his party that would like them to do it sooner and that is why the conversation keeps coming up as to when labour will do this and how and whether it will be successful because, and the dynamic of the soul discussion, the idea of a second referendum. what campaigners call a people's vote, there are a lot of labour mps would like that to happen. and will be a chance of

remaining, winning back what they dislike the idea of it giving the public assay again. and if the general election cannot happen, then its policy would opt for a second referendum instead. so labour mps are pushing for no—confidence vote so the chances of a second referendum will go up. inafew in a few minutes on the programme, will turn our attention to china. they have detained two canadians. and they believe that may be connected to the senior chinese executive that i was detained in canada last week. virgin galactic has for the first time successfully launched a rocket, designed to hold passengers, into space.

the aircraft climbed higher than 270—thousand feet and reached a top speed of almost three—times the speed of sound. beyond 100 days spoke to the foundr of the company sir richard branson, and he told them how much work had gone in to making this happen. it's something that everybody, we have eight hundred wonderful engineers that are working on it always wonderful test pilot. engineers that are working on it all these wonderful test pilot. putting their lives on the line to test this aircraft and it was just magnificent to see it go into space today and it's the first time i think that any spaceship has been into space from american soil since about 2011 and it is the first time that a commercial spaceship company has actually put people in the space. has actually put people in to space. so, a day to celebrate. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom.

0ur lead story is? french police say they have neutralised the gunman who attacked a strasbourg christmas market on tuesday. a russian woman accused of acting as a russian agent in the us has pleaded guilty. she allegedly tried to infiltrate the national rifle association in an effort to influence us policies in favour of moscow. prosecutors expect her plea deal will give them information about russia's efforts to interfere in us politics. from bbc russian political crisis continues to grip sri lanka. its top court has just ruled that the president's dissolution of parliament last month was unconstitutional. back in october, the president also replaced the prime minister — and then parliament was dissolved. this ruling means the prime minister may be reinstated. bbc sinhala. a man has been rescued after spending two days trapped in a grease vent at a vacant chinese restaurant.

emergency crews responded to reports of "a faint voice calling for help". it took almost an hour to "extract" the man — who was exhausted and suffering from dehydration. police say it's not clear what he was doing in the restaruant. donald trump has denied he directed his personal lawyer, michael cohen, to commit a crime. let me tell you, i never directed him to do anything wrong. whatever he did, he did on his own. he is a lawyer, a lawyer who represents a client is supposed to do the right thing, that's what you pay them to do the right thing. etc etc. he is a lawyer. he represents a client, i never directed him to do anything incorrect or wrong. yesterday mr cohen was jailed for three years. big moment — it's the first of mr trump's once inner circle to be jailed since mueller investigation began. michael cohen has said his

mr cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations for his role in making hush payments to the porn actress stormy daniels who claims she had sex with donald trump. and to playboy model karen mcdougal who claims she had an affair with donald trump. this is what president trump said about the payments in april. a month later though, the president's new lawyer admitted the president was aware of the payments. the money was not campaign money.

sorry, i'm giving you a fact now that you don't know. it is not campaign money. no campaign finance violation. so they funneled it through the law firm. funneled it through the law firm in the president repaid it. michael cohen also admitted making false statements to congress about a trump property deal in moscow during the 2016 election. well earlier i asked anthony zurcher in washington, if cohen has committed a crime, why hasn't president trump been accused of committing a crime for his part in it. as you heard, donald trump explained in an interview because he was relying on michael cole went to know the law, that he did not have any knowledge of what he was doing about the crime and he went on to say that maybe it was not a crime at all, that this should not be

characterised as something that was disclosed, and they in their filings for donald trump directed michael to make these payments and a lot of people are saying that they're trying to hide this as he was shown in various clips, the story of donald trump the story from his lawyers have been shifting over time which would indicate that prosecutors if they were charged, what they could say is that this represents a pattern of knowledge of what donald trump was doing, and that he knew that what he was directing michael cohen to do was a campaign contribution would be intent of influencing the 2016 presidential election, which i will add is something that the national enquirer, that made this payment, they acknowledged that the filing to they acknowledged that the filing to the attorneys as well, the prosecuting attorneys as well. but evenif prosecuting attorneys as well. but even if the prosecutor decided they

have enough evidence to prosecute donald trump, the fact that he is president, does that change the situation in regards to what they might do? yes. that certainly is the department ofjustice's position right now, is sitting president cannot be indicted for crimes committed as a way to discipline a precedent in terms of impeachment and removing him from office. that is never been tried before, there is the reason about well, he has a pardon power, so get this pardon himself. but, so there are some scholars that say we should at least try and see what happens, there is no rule against it in any case like this, where something donald trump did or allegedly did that helps make him president that an indictment would be the right way to pursue it. so we have not gone to that point where there is even serious discussion about an indictment directly involved in this, but at

the moment at least, it is all in the moment at least, it is all in the round of theory and speculation. apple has announced plans to build a new campus in austin, texas. it was the project will involve a $1bn investment — and its expected create thousands of newjobs. michelle fleury, new york have a questions but what are you doing in this area? yes, you have this campus that announced they will be spending $1 billion. they're focusing on more engineers, bringing them into the company. hiring a lot more people, but what is interesting going to the announcement today, the emphasis on how manyjobs they have created, not just with emphasis on how manyjobs they have created, notjust with this announcement that we have been expecting, we just announcement that we have been expecting, wejust did not announcement that we have been expecting, we just did not know what. but also how manyjobs they have created so far. in total it is on 6000 jobs created in just 2018,

they're hoping to increase the number ofjobs they're hoping to increase the number of jobs they create they're hoping to increase the number ofjobs they create all the way through to 2023. and i think we are starting to see the company trying to draw a line between itself and its competitors. in terms of the fa ct and its competitors. in terms of the fact that it is investing in america, donald trump is been very vocal and encouraging also to manufacturers to open their basis in america. can we draw any connection between this and the president's rhetoric? i think you have definitely seen companies under pressure from this administration and responding to some of that but i think perhaps the bigger parallel is not just be responding think perhaps the bigger parallel is notjust be responding to what the pressure on them to create jobs in america, but also drawing comparison with amazon. you may recall the incident that surrounded them in order to create a big office complex. in contrast, the announcement today was pretty much

unheralded asjust announcement today was pretty much unheralded as just dropping pretty much with no announcement and i think this is his way of sort of saying, look, we're not doing this again, we're not try to get big tax brea ks again, we're not try to get big tax breaks and some of the negative publicity that surrounded amazon's announcement for the headquarters. renault has decided to keep carlos goan as its chairman and ceo. an internal investigation found no irregularities with his pay package. the context here is that carlos ghosn was arrested last month injapan on charges of financial misconduct relating to his leadership of nissan. theo leggett has more. people close to ghosn answering these accusations have been used to get rid of him from the management team. renault is a part of a wide range of lines that make range of alliances that make the but of the world's biggest

car—makers, but that alliance is dominated by renault. and i know this because he is told me, has had the plans to bring them closer together and the speculation was that it would involve renault taking a majority stake. clearly, executives at nissan were unhappy about this and it may be that the accusations made by a whistle—blower have created a convenient avenue for the executives from the board of nissan to take action against him and clip his wings. start with some breaking news. "suspected strasbourg shooter cherif chekatt is dead — police source". this happened in the le meinau district of strasbourg, where a police operation has unfolded in the past few hours. hello there. this evening we have a

look at storms, when developing a heading towards india, the other one right now is developing in the southern parts of the us. this is a winter storm here coming from that area of cloud which hides that area of low pressure. just run the back edge of that low pressure we have some strong winds heading into texas, 60 miles an hour or so, some strong winds heading into texas, 60 miles an hour orso, more aircoming upfrom texas, 60 miles an hour orso, more air coming up from mexico, cloudy with polar air down from the rockies and it will continue to bring a mixed into texas but very gusty winds. a rainmaker, it may be some severe thunderstorms and there as well. but it will slide its way to the eastern side of the us, and some areas still have a covering of snow after a ll areas still have a covering of snow after all the wet weather, this is going to bring in some more flurries on already saturated ground. a lot of dry weather and sunshine on friday, ran towards the pacific coast, by moving into south asia, we

have a developing cyclone here. early to mid area of cloud that is bringing most of the bay of bengal. winds picking up, winds developing and adding to as the coastal area, but on the weekend it will arrive towards the coast. 0n the northern plains of india, there will be some more mist and fog. let us move down under, and we need to head to northern parts of australia. and you can see there is an cloud here and this is a severe tropical cyclone. it is quite small but is already bringing some flooding and mudslides and the thing about this one is that it has moved towards the west and notes forecasted to move back towards the east. this track is fairly quick, but he will bring some more serious damage to northern parts of the area and those winds have already gusted another 30 mph. combining the dog is rain on the eastern coast into another area here

in the south and to tasmania, across new zealand, high pressure will tend to build over the weekend. we still have this area of high pressure through scandinavia in the northeast of europe, the height that is been bringing us all of the cold weather in the uk. most of the south and into the mediterranean, another area of low pressure, we have one here. gusty winds across an win from africa, we meet that colder air that is there so across the snow from the bulk of bulgaria and romania. it stays very cold across the likes of warsaw and particularly into moscow, but it will come i wonder and paris also for london. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. french police say they have neutralised the gunman who attacked a strasbourg christmas market on tuesday. theresa may has kept herjob and she's back in brussels trying

to save her brexit deal. my my focus now is on ensuring that i could get those assurances that we need to get this deal over the line. the irish backstop remains a major concern for many british mp‘s, the eu though, remains steadfast. i don't think we could agree to anything that would change the content of the treaty or withdrawal agreement. and in the us, senators have passed a resolution calling for an end to us military involvement in the saudi arabia led operation in yemen. more details coming up. the united states senate has defied president donald trump and saudi arabia thursday

by approving a resolution to end us military support for riyadh‘s war in yemen.that‘s calling for an end to us military involvement in the saudi arabia led coalition which supports the yemeni government. in its fight, live to barbara plett usher in washington. hi barbara. help me understand who holds the power here whether it's the senate or the president. that's what the vote was about first of all, it the fact that senate voted doesn't mean military support for the yemen war will and because it's just the senate bill have to go to further hurdles to become the law and the president could be tailored but the point of the resolution is that it's the first time the congress has invoked what's called the war powers act, which is the first time they voted to withdraw up us forces from a foreign conflict on the grounds its congress who should

approve the move, president doesn't have authority to do so that the historic moment actually and it shows how angry senators are about the human cost of this war and it also shows their angry with the saudis who are in the campaign than. it's worth reiterating republicans still control the senate. yes, it's gone through a process of a number of different votes than procedural votes coming to this one, in all of them republicans voted fairly strongly with the democrats. they started with 16 republicans last week when the process started, now they are down to seven but it's still not a small number of republicans to be voting with the democrats. we appreciate the update. this all comes as earlier today there was some good news for yemen, a truce has been reached over the crucial port city hudaydah. here's the un secretary—general. there is a cease fire declared for

the whole and there will be votes from the city and the harbour with all purses and of course the order will be maintained in the harbour, the un will send have monitory vote of the city will be maintained by normal forces in accordance with the yemeni law. the truce was agreed at talks in sweden. this was the first time the yemeni government and houthi rebels had talked in two years. the event in itself is significant. tweet @bbclysedoucet as the bbc‘s lyse doucet points out, the uk foreign secretary was in stockholm. it's because of the uk's strategic

partnership with the saudi arabians and uae, that we have a special relationship with them and we are doing and saying to them that there cannot be a purely military solution to this conflict, there has to be a political solution and that's the message we are giving to them as well, and because we've been given those messages along side many other people, what we're seeing for the first time for two years now, people are coming together and talking and confidence is building. the truce only applies to hudaydah. that's important — but there's no agreement on the rest of yemen. these are the current areas of control. hudaydah is the crucial lifeline — just under two—thirds of yemen's population rely on the food and aid

that come through it. and the three year civil war has led to what the un has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis. here's antonio guterres again. huge impact on the country the effect we came to an agreement that many would consider the most difficult of the problems on the table, give us hope that this process will now be moving step—by—step and that we will be able to overcome all the obstacles that we face. knowing that only a political solution —— solution can solve the problem there is no military solution in yemen and i think all parties have understood that. more now on our breaking news this hour: french police have shot

and killed the man suspected of carrying out the strasbourg christmas market attack on tuesday evneing. sherif chekatt is believed to have killed three people and wounded several others. a nationwide manhunt had been progressing for two days — but he was eventually found in strasbourg itself. here's the french interior minister christopher castaner giving the details just a short while ago. translation: at 9pm a special forces unit saw an man walking along the street. his appearance matched the description of the suspect from tuesday evening attack. they approached him, and as they did so he turned to face the men opened fire. they immediately returned fire and neutralised the attacker. we get more details from the french

authorities pass the month. a second canadian man has been detained in china. both are accused of endangering china's national security. michael spavor is a businessman based near the chinese border with north korea. he has ties to the north korean government. and helped facilitate a visit by swipe former nba star dennis rodman to north korea in 2013. the other is the former—diplomat michael kovrig who was arrested three days ago. he works for an international think tank. now there's a lot of speculation that these arrests are connected to the arrest of huawei executive, meng wa nzhou, in canada last week. here's cindy yu from the spectator magazine. a cynic would say this is definitely

retaliation and it definitely looks like that. china does not often retain foreign nationals it does that for its own nationals for security reasons, but this is quite extraordinary. cindy yu's not the only one who thinks so. tweet @joannachiu the deputy bureau chief of the toronto star quotes a canadian mp saying it looks like retaliation. tweet @annafifield and anna fifield from the washington post has tweeted a video of a chinese journalist warning that china's revenge against canada "will be far worse than detaining a canadian". earlier i spoke with jow—yin fung in washington dc. so china has not me any ties that the detentions, however many people believe that, it's not a coincidence that this happened during the same time. and this is because first,

beijing has warned last week that canada has to pay a heavy price for arresting her and the detentions came after that immediately so it seemed to be part of the price. second, beijing has had a history of detaining foreign citizens in china to apply pressure on other countries. for example in 2014, china arrested a canadian couple leaving —— china arrested a canadian couple leaving — — living china arrested a canadian couple leaving —— living in northeast china at the border of korea for spying in trying to steal secrets. this also came weeks after canada arrested a chinese spy at the request of the us. would we expect after these kinds of detentions, charges to follow? right, so beijing has said that the two canadian men being investigated for endangering china's national security and in previous cases, pouring detainees can be cared for weeks if not months, and some of them will be charged for

extra notch up imprisoned for years before they are deported. in some cases, —— espionage, some had to go on national tv to confess and to apologise for the wrongdoings, and i guess what would happen to these two canadian men also depends on what will happen in the coming weeks. stay with us on outside source — still to come... a group of scientists and oceanographers are on a mission to the deepest points of the world's five oceans — where no one's been before. we spoken to one guy who will go down from his boat in puerto rico. in the uk, there are serious concerns about how the nhs is going to cope this winter. latest figures show hospitals are already overcrowded — and that's before the cold weather and flu have taken hold. some fear it could be as bad if not worse than last year. on at least one day last week — one in ten hospitals were completely full and not surprisingly there were long waits at a and e. our health editor hugh pym reports.

this is emily — she stepped on glass, came to a&e in london this morning and had to wait just one hour. it has been an amazing experience especially at this time of year i think. doctors do an incredible job. but damien, who also hurt his foot, had to waitjust over four hours, more than the official target. there were a lot of doctors around and nurses like running around and sitting there waiting and don't know when you're going to get seen. it's a bit frustrating because basically you just want to get seen and get out there. two experiences of the nhs on the front line, under pressure even before winter kicks in. this week a health minister toured a major hospital to assess their preparations for winter. he said more money had been made available for parts of the nhs. i am pleased to see that that money is now getting to the front line

where it needs to be and i am pleased to see that although this is going to be a challenging winter i am convinced that we will be able to put in the right preparations but no—one is complacent. the emergency department is seeing between 550 and 650 patients a day. but, with hospitals close to full already before winter's really set in, there have been warnings the service could be stretched to the limit in the months ahead. a&e waiting times in england and got worse in november and were behind scotland though ahead of wales and northern ireland. one health leader said the latest set of figures was deeply troubling. hugh pym, bbc news. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... french police say they have shot dead the gunman who attacked a strasbourg christmas market on tuesday. more stories from bbc world service.

two israeli soldiers have been killed and two others seriously injured near thejewish settlement of ofra in the occupied west bank. the israeli military said a palestinian man opened fire at troops at a bus stop. earlier, israel's security forces said they killed three palestinians accused of carrying out recent attacks in jerusalem and the west bank. bbc arabic. a statue of mahatma gandhi has been removed from a university campus in ghana. university of ghana lecturers began a petition for its removal shortly after it was unveiled in 2016 — the petition said gandhi was "racist" and that african heroes should be put first. mahatma gandhi is best known for leading non—violent resistance to british colonial rule in india — but his comments on black africans have long been controversial. bbc hindi. 9 people have died in a huge train crash in turkey. 47 others are injured. this happened in the capital ankara

at a train station 8km away from the city's main train station. here are some of the pictures that have come in. you can see the aftermath here. a high speed passenger train had 206 passengers onboard, and it crashed first with another train that was inspecting the track, and then into an overpass. this was at 6:30 in the morning. and the search and rescue was made all the harder by snowy freezing conditions. let me translate this tweet @mmoinstanbulsb from the turkish engineers and architects union "signalling problems" had been flagged on the line "for some time" and it adds "the accident is murder!" authorities were not talking about

it in those terms at all. three people have already been detained. here's the turkish prime minister. translation: investigations have been launched and preview button to attain, the crash will be investigated in all dimensions and those responsible will be brought to justice for whatever is necessary will be done. this is the second deadly train crash in turkey this year. injuly in a town called kapikule, 24 people died when a train derailed. we still don't have an official reason for the crash. but bbc turkish have been speaking to people at the scene. here's oyika altu ntas. a union member told us that the train has departed and before the signalization mechanism was rapidly

adopted. this is one of the concerns and another one, where the drivers who remains anonymous, said this is a human cause, the crash was human. we know three people had been detained, but what do we know about those people? we certainly know that they are railway personnel, but we do not know what their alleged role in the crash is so far. i was mentioning earlier that there was a very serious crash in the summer in turkey, can we talk about that being a problem with rail safety and the country or is that not fair? in fa ct, country or is that not fair? in fact, today we looked that in the last eight years up to seven train crashes deadly train accident occurred in the country and the latest crash was in the western city

in turkey, it was a training going to istanbul and dozens of people about 25 people were killed and after that crash already, there were claims that there is negligence here. there's problem of not investigating this early by the government. in terms of today's crash, presumably work is still going on at the scene. yes we know work is still going on, the numbers remained still, but the number of people who had died in the crash might increase. we will finish the programme with two incredible science stories. let me show you jupiter as you've never seen it before nasa'sjuno misison has revealed these new images, which show giant polar storms and cyclones. it which orbits jupiter every 53 days, and interestingly these pictures were compiled by members of the public who processed the information gathered byjuno. plenty of people have been

sharing the storm which is, kind of, in the shape of a dolphin. here's victoria gill with more from washington. well, the juno mission well, thejuno mission tojupiter is halfway through so 16 times the little craft has done a dive from pole to pole of his huge planet, the biggest in our solar system. the juno cam as a camera on board specifically to share the beauty of jupiter with the world. this is a public outreach camera, so as well as capturing 16,000 images of the planet, it's discovering a surprising new science as well, because as taking a path never taken before by any mission tojupiter. looking at the polls, north to south

as it does, it seemed collections of storms, these arrangement of storms that you pull, few cyclones bigger than the size of texas. and every time it's done i pass, those storms are still there for months, there the rest of the mission to complete so there is lots more images to be ca ptu red so there is lots more images to be captured of the biggest planet in our solar system and lots of instruments that tell us what jupiter is made of and gives secrets as to how our solar system formed 4 billion years ago. meanwhile, juneau cam is still operating not damaged to stop this —— despite the fact of high radiation around jupiter, so there'll be lots more images to come. this is the explorer victor vescovo. he's climbed the world's seven highest peaks and been to both the north and south poles. but his next challenge is somewhere even more remote. thursday night he's leading a group of scientists and oceanographers on a mission to the deepest points of the world's five oceans, where no one's been before. scientists say it's more dangerous than landing on the moon. and they need this special submarine for the mission.

this was its test run in the bahamas. only two people can fit in — victor, and a scientist. they're going 11 kilometres below the surface — so deep that any communications take seven seconds to travel from the submarine to the surface. the pressure at that depth is about 800 time stronger than on the surface. the group is starting here — the puerto rico trench. it's the deepest point in the atlantic ocean. from there they'll spend several months zig zagging across the seas. including taking the challenger deep in the mariana trench, the deepest location on earth — so deep that mt everest would fit into it. one of the most dangerous dives won't be the deepest — but it will be the coldest when they venture into the near freezing waters of the molloy deep in the arctic. i've been talking to to victor vescovo —

along with david lee, a documentary makerfilming it all. they're off the coast of sanjuan in puerto rico. the simpering behind us, three and half years in the making, its going to go down 100,000 metres or technology. it's got a titanium is the air which is the core element of the air which is the core element of the design surrounded by something called film which will boat and water but is very durable. it allows it to not be compressed when it goes to the depths, it's very advanced and revolutionary. was a working environment going to be you —— be like when you're inside and you're several kilometres down? if the two—person submersible, with a titanium capsule we have a reasonable amount of room like the cockpit of a jet, compatible, will be on

cockpit of a jet, compatible, will beona cockpit of a jet, compatible, will be on a nine hour mission. how will you be able to capture this in the service? so the camera is on the outside of the sub it all be able to go outside of the sub it all be able to go down there's not many in the world they can go that far down with the pressure down there, we have cameras on the inside as well so there is no escape or victor, he'll be docked every second away and document that died, whenever he sees we will see on our cameras and a should be exciting when he gets to the bottom know it's ever been that the bottom know it's ever been that the before, in this stretch. so it's amazing science we will bring brack —— back it'll be part of our five—hour series on the discovery channel so the biometrics will be down there as well so we will keep calm. will you be forgiven for being nervous and scared because it sounds daunting, how does it compare with other things you've done? well, it feels a little bit safer because i'm surrounded by titanium and in a

docile and buyer —— environment which it seems that way but you can't see or feel pressure compared to something like climbing on everest where you had the wind and the noise in the cold. that seemed way more dangerous maybe it was, but they're all different they all have a unique experience of. david some things need to be done just because you can, what are the challenge of this mission, notjust going down once but five times? for me the opportunity for all the team of scientists, there's marine biologist we will study the creatures down there. there are geologists as well looking at the landscape will be scouting —— looking at the landscape will be scouting — — scouring looking at the landscape will be scouting —— scouring new detail and discovering new things in these deep trenches, so it's at peak opportunity and very opportunity —— exciting and we are excited to be onboard with the. victor i must ask you we are hoping this goes smoothly, but things were to get complicated out there, how easy is it to get help from the surface?

virtually impossible, the conditions, even communication is difficult, it'll take about 67 seconds for the transmission to go one way so there's no rescue capability at what we are down that far so what comes down to is having lots of redundant systems on the vessel at just getting lots of redundant systems on the vessel atjust getting up as as i can, but we hope any possible way of getting home safe. best of luck to all involved will check in with them as they go about this extraordinary mission and i'll see you next week. hello there. christmas is drawing closer. at the moment, the weather feels quite festive. chilly southeastern winds have been blowing

across the british isles bringing cold airfrom across the british isles bringing cold air from the near continent bringing the air circulating around this big area of high pressure that's blocking the atlantic weather systems over recent days. however, thatis systems over recent days. however, that is set to change as we go to the next few days, these weather systems the next few days, these weather syste ms get the next few days, these weather systems get their act together and fight across the country, we will through the next few days, these weather systems get their act together and fight across the country, we'll see you snow and rain in places and as we go to next week, we have switched the wind direction we have switched the wind direction we are “— we have switched the wind direction we are —— went to western direction not a key way but anything like as chilly as it is at the moment. starting friday with a touch of frost in many places, not quite as cold as you'll notice across northern ireland here, extra cloud in showery rain the weather front lingering for the last few days unable to move through because of a high—pressure setting into the east. there could be a few showers precinct is, some of these wintry areas elsewhere sunshine not as windy as thursday, but still feeling chilly. it's during friday night that things began to change. we see this frontal system swaying from the

west bringing rain but also snow and asa west bringing rain but also snow and as a good through saturday, the combination of rain and snow and strong wind as well, could well cause travel issues. there's still something to play for in terms of the tub or saturday butjust about anywhere we could see a little bit of snow for a time, further southern west to go and eat wintry weather turns back to wet weather through the day because there will be something much milder working its way and 12 degrees implement, but just two and newcastle, high ground of northern ireland and england a particularly scotland we could see some quite significant snow and a very cold field to the weather across these eastern and northern areas, out of the strength of the wind, minus five degrees that's what it feels like significant snowfall across scotland not only high ground but even lower levels, this could cause disruption coupled with strong winds there is a blizzard condition as well but by sunday, the worst of the weather pushes north we get into milder western winds so things are

going to quite down through the day sunday we will see spells of sunshine there will be showers, wintry weather for a time over high ground in scotland. as temperatures area ground in scotland. as temperatures are a little bit higher between six and 10 degrees. monday, i might actually start off quite silly, there could be a touch of frost and fog patches around as well. dry weather and sunshine but here's our next atla ntic weather and sunshine but here's our next atlantic frontal system swinging in rain from the west may be something wintry over high ground in the north, but generally that last chilly feel continues. is he going to tuesday this area of low pressure is likely to swing a band of rain and from the west and strong blustery winds with back, but wind is coming from the west or the southwest, something a little that milder, the temperature wise many of us will be in double digits, tenant in aberdeen. and as we head towards the end of next week and the weekend a big travel weekend of course, it's pretty mixed pair, temporary bombs

of high pressure so dry interludes but frontal system never too far away i'll be further —— further bouts of wind and rain. when next week, dry areas as well but it'll generally be milder and no real sign of anything particularly chilly in the run—up to christmas. tonight at ten, theresa may has spent the day in brussels, looking for new assurances on her brexit deal. she arrived having survived a confidence vote back at westminster, warning that rapid progress was unlikely. i don't expect an immediate breakthrough, but what i do hope is that we can start work as quickly as possible on the assurances that are necessary. but the prime minister was told that the brexit agreement could be clarified, but not renegotiated with the other eu states. we'll have the latest from brussels and westminster, as mrs may still faces the challenge of getting her deal through the house of commons. also tonight, in strasbourg, police have shot dead the man believed to have attacked a christmas market,

killing three people and injuring others. growing concern about how the nhs in england will cope this winter, the latest figures show hospitals are already overcrowded. we talk to some of the young people who can't afford to pay rent,
