generally, that less chilly feel continues. as we gone into tuesday, a band of rain in from the west. strong and blustery. wind coming from the west. many of us will be in double digits. as we head towards the end of next week and in the weekend, a big travel weekend, it's pretty mixed. some dry interludes. the frontal system is never too far away. further bouts of wind and rain. wetand away. further bouts of wind and rain. wet and windy weather at times. dry interludes as well. it will generally be mild. no sign of anything particularly chilly in the run—up to christmas. hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall.

we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. theresa may tells her fellow eu leaders she believes a route can be found for her brexit deal to be approved by the house of commons. french police have shot dead the man wanted for a gun attack near a christmas market in strasbourg on tuesday. a russian woman accused in the us of acting as an agent for the kremlin to infiltrate political groups has pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors. local authorities are set to receive an increase in funding in the next financial year — and the ability to raise council tax by up to 3%. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lord digbyjones, the former trade minister, and stephen bush, who's the political editor

at the new statesman. he is very thirsty. we might have two top you up if you carry on like that. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — and a fair few lead with today's eu summit in brussels. the daily telegraph reports that the eu turned a ‘deaf ear‘ on theresa may's pleas to get legal assurances on the so—called backstop arrangement and help her save her brexit deal. they'll be no christmas present for the prime ministerfrom the eu — writes the i — claiming that european diplomats will hold back on a key concession until the new year. back at home — following that vote on theresa may's leadership yesterday — the times quotes warnings from senior tories that the conservative party is facing an ‘irrevocable' split over brexit. was it only yesterday? in other news — on the metro's front page — new figures show that the number of rough sleepers has increased by 120% — and that 211,000 people will be sleeping on the streets or in tents, cars and on public transport this christmas. millions of families will face council tax rises of more than £100 claims the daily mail — after ministers announced they would allow town halls to increase the levy by 3 percent. adverts showing a woman struggling

to park a car — or a man refusing to do housework while his wife cooks dinner — will — according to the guardian — be banned from next year as part of an industry—wide crackdown on sexist stereotypes. and lastly on the sun — a gear change for the famous car show trio — jeremy clarkson is said to have welled up at the end of filming the last episode of the grand tour with james may and richard hammond — after 17 years of hosting together, he called it the ‘end of an era' now, let us make a start with a couple of papers that are looking at brexit. first of all, the daily telegraph. the eu turned a deaf ear to theresa may as the brexit promises unravel. she went to brussels today and came back with nothing, really. the problem is what

is asking for is a bit of a logical impossibility. what conservative mps wa nt impossibility. what conservative mps want is an understanding that they will not be locked in the backstop indefinitely. what the irish governed wants, also understanding league, is that come what may they will not have a hard border on the island of ireland. these two objectives cannot be met together. you have to choose either no deal and be guaranteed for the conservative party or a guarantee with some form of backstop. she has promised to two sets of people two things which cannot be reconciled. and predictably, as has happened has done that, one side has stood up and said excuse me, as has the eu. she has got the parliamentary majority, the ability to get stuffed nothing to do with brexit, anything is, that is dependent on the dup, they say we are dependent on the united kingdom, you cannotjust are dependent on the united kingdom, you cannot just given a are dependent on the united kingdom, you cannotjust given a —— get stuff

through, nothing to do. it is not just ireland will pick up. germany owns, rods, and pays for europe. when northern ireland kick up, it is nothing to do with brussels had everything to do with westminster. so she has got the impossibility of which you speak and you are right. it also has this domestic dimension about getting anything else through, nothing to do with brexit. it is very big. in the times today, sorry, it is in the sun, page two of the sun, the same theme... let me help you with that. i have it here. loyal senior minister, it says, quite, we are going to say to theresa may, you have done your best but the only way is for you to go next year, things have got very personal between her and the dup which are never going to be fixed.

that is in inverted commas from a senior minister in the sun. that is the point. she has been promising things to lots of people... don't be going off piste again. we might not find the piece of paper. it proves it isa find the piece of paper. it proves it is a paper review. i happen to haveit it is a paper review. i happen to have it handily behind me. when we we re have it handily behind me. when we were listening to that press conference earlier, donald tusk and jean—claude juncker, they really conference earlier, donald tusk and jean—claudejuncker, they really did not want to say a great deal, deep bay? making absolutely clear yet again that it was almost a wasted —— did they? as far as the backstop are concerns, we will only use it if we absolutely have two and for as short absolutely have two and for as short a time as we can. that not any improvements. it does not fix herself greater problem here at home. the thing they want to avoid is to reopen the withdrawal agreement, be legally binding bit of the exit deal. the second you open

it up, 27 member states will go this is what i would like. this is already a deal that is difficult to sell in parliament. if you open it up sell in parliament. if you open it up again, the spanish government is under pressure from the right because of catalonia, people want to add something about gibraltar, that will make it harder to pass. the polish government wants something about the rights to move freely between the united kingdom and europe, that makes it harder to pass. no one wants to say anything. saying anything makes it even more politically fraught than it is. saying anything makes it even more politically fraught than it ism is important that we understand how they come assets. i, for one, would support the agreement, but not if it has got this ability for europe to say you cannot go on as we say so. from the backstop. from the backstop. because i don't trust them. while they can say to the cows come home this is about an insurance policy, don't worry it will only be donein policy, don't worry it will only be done in the last resort and then

only for a short period of time, that press conference to make is that press conference to make is that for a short period of time. their insurance policy works by the way, they don't trust us... macron is already on record last week saying i will consent if they give in on fishing, gibraltar, spain. that is what you get in a negotiation. you only have one chance. that is true. the deal, the thing they don't want to unravel, it gets a lot of things over the line manufacturing, for instance. it looks after those jobs outside london. it is important. but to allow europe to be able to use it, the backstop, for things that have nothing to do with ireland, it would be folly to agree to that. but you have said before, in the last hour, i vegetate in the past, be no deal scenario does not suit the rest either. no deal doesn't suit britain. but looking from their point of view does not suit them either. they are still in a massive

trading bloc that we would be outside. we might be outside it, but we would be trading with it. quiz time, how many cars, made in germany, ahbe bought by the british? tell me. —— are bought by. germany, ahbe bought by the british? tell me. -- are bought by. it is two and a half times as many as bought by the us and china. it will hurt us. by the us and china. it will hurt us. but it will hurt germany as well, and france and italy. nobody wants this. i think your point is that you made an hour ago, and it was excellent, is this idea that everybody is saying none of us want it but we believe it is of eels. eventually went up on march 29 and nobody has done anything. eventually went up on march 29 and nobody has done anythinglj eventually went up on march 29 and nobody has done anything. i think thatis nobody has done anything. i think that is the central problem of the backstop. the idea that no deal will unblock something it was one side, the eu, will be frightened of it, is

for the birds. everyone knows that a british government with a no—deal brexit will be punished very badly by the voters. so they assume it can be avoided. the big problem is that u nless be avoided. the big problem is that unless theresa may break the habit ofa unless theresa may break the habit of a lifetime and instead of desperately trying to create a brexit majority in her own party but reaches out to something that can be passed by labour and the other parties, we are not going to get a deal. let us look at the times. and interesting had light on this. let me read it. -- interesting headline. thank you so much. i find this very interesting. if you go back to robert peel 's prime ministership, of the conservatives, the tories, in early victorian england, they broke over the repealing of the corn laws, the protectionism that looked after the protectionism that looked after the landowners and keeping up the price of wheat, basically, and protecting against cheaper week coming from somewhere else, in those

days the colonies, especially. so the tories were out of power for over a generation. it is what made gladsome, the liberal, it is why he was there for so long. —— laxton. it was there for so long. —— laxton. it was a party ripped asunder, proving it was unfit for government. —— gladstone. i thought that could have been written in 1840 about the tories repealing the corn laws. nothing changes. electorates do not like divided parties. they do not like divided parties. they do not like people who say we are here to govern you , like people who say we are here to govern you, but we cannot agree amongst ourselves. believe me it is suicide for a political party of any persuasion. separate from the paper review we were talking about the divisions in labour over europe and whether or not they could dare risk a people's vote, as it is being called. a second referendum.

labour's advantages they are divided over effectively an issue or strategy. there is a tiny minority of labour mps strategy. there is a tiny minority of labourmps and strategy. there is a tiny minority of labour mps and powerbrokers who would like to leave the eu. for the rest it is purely a question of what is the electoral consequence of supporting another referendum or supporting another referendum or supporting brexit. for them it is not a kind of hate each other for 30 yea rs not a kind of hate each other for 30 years issue of theology. the problem for the conservative party is that evenif for the conservative party is that even if it turns out this is hugely electric successful, unites everyone, there are no economic downside and only winners, let us say that does happen, the theological and personal divides brexit will in due up for the conservative party in a way that they won't for anyone else —— willinge oil. they have stopped calling it a second referendum and a people's vote. i will agree to a second referendum if we can best of seven. it is right, isn't it. where does it end? if you abrogate

responsibility to be elected as parliament did and say to them, david cameron stood there and said this is final, and then you come back and say you did not give the answer i want so we will have it again, at some point subleases to parliament you are being quite a radical about this. does make some recess to parliament. subleases i did not vote for this confusion or chaos. it is a mess. -- somebody says. we paid 9 million quid to send a leaflet to everybody's i'm saying these are the economic costs. when people say i never knew. it is not true. what is true is that nobody, i presume the hardline brexiteers, they would believe what they have to say, everybody else, even me, relu cta nt say, everybody else, even me, reluctant brexiteer, happy i voted brexit, i would vote it again, but i never expected that she would have remainers and the establishment and

isi remainers and the establishment and is i never thought for a minute that this fabulous country that i have been proud to campaign around the world 20 years would show the world what a mess we can make something. it breaks your heart. just quickly, before we move on, what are you going to write in your email about brexit? the continual trap about brexit, i will say tomorrow, it looks impossible to work out how she is going to reconcile the two groups, where she can reach out to the other side, which means it feels more likely that we will have no deal brexit.|j thought he was going to write, i did the papers with digby. daniel on twitter says he is slightly concerned that there was not much conflict. metro, homelessness, rough

sleepers rocket by 120%. conflict. metro, homelessness, rough sleepers rocket by 12096. if i were a conservative mp in a marginal seat, it would be the rise of rough sleeping keeping you up at night. it scars every city centre. if you don't address it, you get not on the front pages but it is time for a big change. there are very complex reasons. i am chairman of the charity that works with ex— service men and women. they have a high proportion of rough sleeping, former military people, you can't get back into civilian life and find it difficult. lots of drug and alcohol stuff. it's not an excuse, but it's right to say quite a few of them find it difficult to live in a

hospital. i repeat, that's not a copout. easily solved. what business could do here is, i don't want people to make the connection which i think would be so wrong for this country, of this this is horrible, let's vote somebody. what big business could do is socially include people in society. your inspiration, your time, your ability. bring them in from the street. and be seen to do it. not with taxation but business doing its bit and if it was seen to do it, it would mean the malt —— it would win more laurels with people passed this every day. they easily make the connection between corbynistas and hating business. is that their connection? the rise of rough sleeping is a direct of policy

choice to try and close the deficit by doing things that weren't going to be noticed at first, devolving cuts to local government, cutting back on the statute of responsibilities. you can't give services to people who don't vote. which is why there is hidden homeless people who live on someone's surfer, people who end up rough sleeping, having an different set of needs. let's look at the daily telegraph. the mail as well. an extra billion pounds in police funding, paid for with council tax rises. that's another thing. we've got to find the money from somewhere. rough sleeping is one of them. it is true, you put a copper on the end of the street, people don't do as much street crime. if people get a phone call from the

police saying we can't investigate your burglary, there are not enough police, people say they don't want to live in a society. you must pay for it. everything is ring—fenced, but somewhere down there, i would tell the education has a real problem. policing is another. will the government had done is, you either put up council tax or it comes from central funding. councils, you put it up and you pay for the police. will people make a connection between a safer society and more council tax? connection between a safer society and more counciltax? i don't know. the daily mail says the council tax bombshell is what is coming this way. the problem the government has is, because it's been frozen for most of the time, it's a bill everyone notices because to build you actually get. even allowing for this horrible front pages, it will bea this horrible front pages, it will be a big —— this horrible front pages, it will bea big ——a this horrible front pages, it will be a big —— a big event. this horrible front pages, it will be a big -- a big event. the guardian, new rules screening out

sexist ads. adverts, with a woman saying can sexist ads. adverts, with a woman saying can someone sexist ads. adverts, with a woman saying can someone put up these shelves? the idea is you have gender stereotypes. we live in a changed world. anybody of a certain age and disposition who thinks that stupid, just grow up and understand the world has changed and how we reach out to people who have a different set of values and coming to life, different prejudices, probably not no prejudice, you've got to understand that they are the consuming public, they are the people who are going to work in your businesses and the people who will be your shareholders. you have to get in tune with them. the average person of 35, 40, does not identify with only women doing the cooking. you are fulfilling what is already happening out there. i say, i am a

63 old fuddy—duddy and dinosaur but i get it. you have actually got to reach out to your new market. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, lord digbyjones, and stephen bush. and from all of us, good night. here's your latest sports news. for the second game in a row, it's the chelsea fans' behaviour that's overshadowing what their team has done on the pitch. earlier this week the club suspended four supporters after raheem sterling was subjected to alleged racist abuse at stamford bridge on saturday

and tonight, there are claims part of the travelling chelsea support were heard singing an anti—semitic chant during their 2—all in the europa league against vidi in budapest. a chelsea club spokesman has said tonight: uefa has said it will await the referee's report. a night of contrasts for the old firm in the europa league. celticjust about made it through despite losing 2—1 at home to red bull salzburg. rangers are out after defeat to rapid vienna. austin halewood reports. whether blue or green, like the rest

of britain, europe was the hot topic in glasgow but in these parts, the plan was to stay in rather than leave. rangers, the equation was simple, only a win in vienna would keep them alive. in tune how to perform the european spotlight better than steven gerrard. the rangers boss had his team on the front foot, conor goldson was the best chance of the first half but matches on big stages are often decided by the smallest of margins. all of rangers possession, one lapse of concentration was enough to shatter scottish hearts. rangers european adventure finished in vienna. back home in glasgow, celtic only needed a draw but playing for a point too often invites too much pressure. whatever the scottish champions tried, nothing seemed to work. even the most simple of passes

coming back to want them. gordon has been robbed. scottish bands were preparing for another night of european disappointment until a goal in germany at glasgow on its feet. an unlikely equaliser for rosenberg in leipzig was enough to send the scots through. a rare defeat at celtic park celebrated long into the night. to complete the story of the four british clubs involved in the europa league tonight. arsenal finished off their group stage with a 1—0 win over qarabag at the emirates. alexandre lacazette scored the only goal in the first half to make it 5 wins out of 6 for the gunners, who won their group. also stepping down is steve hansen the all blacks coach. he's just announced he'll leave the job after next year's world cup and by that point, it'll be 15 years with new zealand, who he originallyjoined as assistant coach under graham henry. they won the 2011 world cup together after which hansen took over and they became the first team

to retain the trophy four years later. hansen sez he's announced it now so they can concentrate on the job in hand of winning the world cup. wimbledon's plans to triple its size are a step closer after the neighbouring golf club agreed to sell its land. the all england club made a reported offer of around £65 million pounds to buy wimbledon park whose members including piers morgan and ant and dec will receive £85,000 pounds each from the sale. good evening. it's been quite a cold wintry day and after that cold and frosty start, there was sunshine but where we had the sunshine by day, what we got tonight is those clear skies so certainly with clear spells, another cold and frosty night. we were ready to temperatures in one of two spots down to about —3

cities of the overnight lows in our towns and cities. it will be colder than that in the countryside. not quite as cold and northern ireland. through friday morning, afterfrosty start, there will be plenty of sunshine right down the spine of the country. a bit more cloud in the far west. also the odd rogue shower across eastern coast of scotland and england but the majority of places, you should stay dry. temperatures around 3— seven degrees across the board. that is windy as it was on thursday so far won't feel as cold and then moving into friday evening, we will start to see a change from the west is milder rare works in. this is going to be a weather front which brings a smile the rabbit had brings a strengthening winds and rain and snow as well so heading into saturday, that's when we see those isobars really tightening, and are quite disruptive spell of weather, certainly into saturday, a mixture of rain which will turn into snow from northern england and

scotland. combined with strong winds and lizardlike conditions, some disruption likely, especially across the far north of england and scotland. you can see the white colours, developing snowfall. it will turn back to reign with milder rare working in the further south, most of that will be falling as brain, particularly with lower levels. cabbages up to 12 degrees in south—west england later but in the east, we keep hold of that cold air and with those brisk south—easterly winds, it will feel bitterly cold. feeling like minus five degrees in hull. into saturday afternoon, still smoke the parts of northern england and scotland. 10— 20 centimetres of snow right through the central belt of scotland. but rain snow mix slowly eases towards the east through saturday night and on into sunday. it will still be quite a windy day with a few showers around

on sunday. as temperatures will be turning a bit milder and the weather won't be as disruptive during the second half of the weekend as it will be on saturday. you can keep up—to—date with the latest on our website. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm mariko 0i in singapore. the headlines: french police say they've killed the gunman who shot dead three people near a christmas market in strasbourg. ready to help but unwilling to renegotiate — that's the message from eu leaders as theresa may warns their brexit deal is at risk. hello. i'm ben bland in london. also in the programme: facing extinction — the maldives and other developing nations warn their survival depends on the world's commitment to tackling global warming. no one seems to be listening to what science is saying. what does that mean for your country? we will

disappear?
