welcome to bbc news. i'm kasia madera, live at the eu summit in brussels — the headlines at nine. eu diplomats describe theresa may's perfomance at the summit as "bad", as the bloc‘s leaders warn the brexit withdrawal agreement is not open for renegotiation: the union stands by this agreement and intends to proceed with its certification. it is not open for renegotiation. theresa may warns the eu that it risks an accidental no—deal brexit, but european leaders tell may to provide more clarity on what she wants. also in today's news... police in france shoot dead the gunman who attacked strasbourg's christmas market. unions warn britain has suffered the worst pay squeeze for centuries, with real pay still a third lower than before the financial crisis. nasa's juno mission to jupiter reveals spectacular views of the planet's polar storms. a draw for chelsea

in the europa league, but the football club finds itself in trouble again, after fans sing an anti—semitic chant during the game. good morning from brussels. european leaders are arriving for a second day of talks, after theresa may failed to get any concessions to make her brexit deal more acceptable for parliament. herfellow leaders said the withdrawal agreement was "not open for renegotiation‘, after the prime minister sought reassurances over the irish backstop, in a week where she delayed a commons vote on her deal and survived a vote of no confidence. let's take a look at

the main developments.... eu leaders warned theresa may that they won't make changes to the brexit withdrawal agreement, and say they don't know what more they can do to help the prime minister. at a press conference, the president of the european commission, jean claude—juncker said it was up to the uk government to tell the eu what it wants, and to tell the eu their expectations in the new year. the prime minister again warned that the brexit agreement was at risk if concerns of mps in westminster weren't addressed. this report is from andy moore. theresa may came to brussels saying she wasn't expecting any immediate breakthrough but as she left last night, it seemed her bid for legal reassurances over the irish backstop had been categorically rejected. there were some kind words from her colleagues,

but ireland vetoed a line in the draft communique, saying europe could give mrs may more assurances later on. at a late—night press conference, the european council president said the 27 countries would not reopen the withdrawal agreement endorsed last month. the union stands by this agreement and intends to proceed with this objective. it is not open for renegotiation. the european commission president called for clarity from britain in what he said was often vague and nebulous discussion. translation: our uk friends need to say what they want instead of asking us to say what we want. and so we would like, within a few weeks, our uk friends, to set out their expectations for us. next week, the european council

will publish a whole set of documents setting out how it would cope with no—deal brexit. mrs may will be attending the second day of the summit this morning but after being rebuffed so comprehensively on day one, it's hard to see what her negotiations can achieve. we have a summary on what the brexit council gave, there are specific points i would like to look at more closely. with me is our reality check correspondent, chris morris. we are talking about specifically the idea that the backstop is now being worded. it is in words, we have the notion that it is an insurance policy, not the final destination, that will give theresa may comfort? a little, the declaration for that, that statement last night, is repeating in slightly different words what is already a

legally binding agreement. there is the suggestion from diplomats that they were not sure what she wanted. well over two years they were not sure what she wanted. well over two yea rs past they were not sure what she wanted. well over two years past the referendum now and the eu is essentially saying to the uk that they need to be told what they want if they are to move forward. there are suggestions from the prime minister that perhaps the non—binding little declaration about future relations should have relations to the legally binding withdrawal treaty, that was met with bemusement as well. i do not think this is the end of the conversation. negotiations, that could be the wrong word, but conversations will continue. perhaps further clarifications can be sought. the eu has said from the beginning that this is supposed to be a temporary measure, if it ever comes into effect of the backstop. if they are willing to go as far as they can within legal constraints to make that clear, but to turn it into some sort of legally binding declaration

seems to be one of the buffers with which the prime minister ran up last night. when we talk about what the summit conclusion was saying, was best endeavours that the eu and uk we re best endeavours that the eu and uk were going at their best endeavours to keep talking, should the backstop happen. is that, can you argue, technically that best endeavours are not being endeavoured and that could potentially be given to a quarter fell? or a panel of arbitration? possibly, best endeavours carries legal weight, it is not a formal obligation but the next best. the trouble is, you come down to what is the backstop? it is supposed to be a last resort guarantee, until something else comes into effect. the argument from the eu all along has been if you qualify that in anyway, if you put a definite time limit on it, if you allow one side you have a unilateral exit, it does not matter what words you use, it is

not matter what words you use, it is no longer a backstop. essentially we have been running around the same argument for months now, and we are still running up against the same problem. the maximum, really, that the eu is prepared to offer seems to be less than the minimum that they can clarify and satisfy, especially those backbenchers in the house of commons that theresa may needs to persuade. we did get, or what the eu gave in this summary as well was that there is an aim to get a trade deal in place by the end of december 2020, that was not in the original agreement? again, there is an element of being encouraging and saying as soon both sides have ratified this withdrawal agreement, in other words if it goes through the house of commons eventually and is ratified by the european parliament, jean—claude juncker saying that we are happy to start negotiating on the future agreement then, at least preparations for them, before that they were being

legalistic and saying they could not begin until the legalistic and saying they could not begin untilthe uk legalistic and saying they could not begin until the uk has left. more wiggle room, saying not a huge amount of time that we could start earlier. trying to hand the prime minister some titbits from the table, the problem is that the moment, will it be enough to sway opinion in the house of commons? what we have seen so far would not be, no question on that. this is a conversation certainly from the uk governments point of view that is not finished and there are some countries that are more sympathetic towards giving theresa may more than others. the point is, they need all 27 on board. and frustratingly, briefly if you would come yesterday we had the draft summary, and the suggestion that the eu would come backin suggestion that the eu would come back in january, say, suggestion that the eu would come back injanuary, say, and give more assurances. but that has been taken off the conclusion summary and they are talking about proposals on the 19th of december, should there be a

no deal. they have changed their tune completely. in the draft there was a sentence yesterday that was removed from the draft, that they would offer additional reassurances. it was taken out and next week of the eu will reveal in more detail all of its planning for no deal. we are only three months away from when brexit is due to happen, those no deal points have to be clarified. chris morris, thank you. let's speak now to federica bianchi, correspondent at the italian news magazine, l'espresso. she is also here at the eu summit and has been monitoring all of the events that have been taking place. federico, there has been frustration because yesterday, the discussions we re because yesterday, the discussions were taken over by brexit? very much so, very much so indeed. europeans in general, european leaders in this case, i pretty much exhausted at

this point. after two years, it is incredible that once again it is on the table and the british cannot make up their minds. in a summit, there was supposed to be devotion to something completely different, but here again we are with brexit. people are a little exasperated. and backin people are a little exasperated. and back in italy, do you get that sense that people are watching all of this detail, and following it as closely as they can? it is dominating the news agenda, the backstop and the technicalities. are the italians following it closely, or is it something just for us in the uk? the backstop has always been from the very start the big problem of brexit. it is also vitally important for the european union because in brussels and jean—claude juncker, they will not let ireland get lost

and they are allied on the same side on this. it is a problem for the uk but also for the union. the backstop is not supposed to be a destination but a safeguard. an insurance policy for the european union. but one that could last. it is impossible to really put a deadline on it. the trade negotiations in europe knows very well how to carry on trade negotiations, they usually last yea rs. negotiations, they usually last years. a year and a half is not usually enough. they can be gone for three, four, five, six years. and given the status of british politics, there is no assurance from the british side that actually, a final deal, a final trade deal with the union, would be carried out and finalised by 2020. that is why the backstop is so important. not so much as us wanting the uk to stay with us at all costs but we are not

going to allow the uk to interrupt or break up the european union. it is really an insurance policy and i would be very surprised if any european leader will be willing to give up by making a deadline legally binding. when it comes to tourism a herself, how do the italians see her in terms of what she achieved, or did not achieve, here in brussels? —— when it comes to theresa may? did not achieve, here in brussels? -- when it comes to theresa may? the italians, on brexit, they very much follow everybody else. as you know, there are hot hinges on the table, there are hot hinges on the table, the italians backed the yellow jackets in france, they are not maintaining a hard stance on that, they are dealing with the commission on their own survival. brexit, they are kind of deferring to other countries to continue with it. they

are telling the line, that germany, france and ireland are holding and italy is a minor issue, given the fa ct italy is a minor issue, given the fact that italy is really in europe pressing on core business to deal with. thank you very much for giving us the perspective from italy, and the next day to look out for here from the eu, as the eu goes into its second day of business at the summit, brexit is now in conversations that are finishing, behind—the—scenes will be conversations going on but the 19th of december, that is when the eu will publish details of its preparations in the event of a no deal. studio: lets stay with brexit. back here, the cabinet office minister, david lidington has defended theresa may's handling of the talks in brussels, and said they were a welcome first step.

but labour said the prime minister failed to get any meaningful change to her deal, and should reinstate the vote in the commons next week. our political correspondent alex forsyth is at westminster. good morning, alex. theresa may won the confidence vote this week that it does not look like she is going to come back from brussels with anything that will satisfy the sternest critics of her deal. what is next for theresa may?” sternest critics of her deal. what is next for theresa may? i think you are right, at this stage, what we are right, at this stage, what we are hearing from brussels, will not convince the brexiteers or the dup, and other mps, including labour, who have expressed a strong opposition to what is on the table. the real issueis to what is on the table. the real issue is the northern ireland backstop, the guarantee that there will be no hard border on the island of ireland, and while theresa may has extracted some reassurance from eu leaders, it isn't what they want or what she hoped. as things stand, u nless or what she hoped. as things stand, unless something significantly changes between now and when we

expect parliament to vote on the deal, which is looking to be early in the new year, there is going to be an appeal struggle for the prime minister because as things stand, it does not look like she will get the support she needs to get it through parliament. having said that, david liddington, the defector deputy prime minister, said this was the first step in what he views as a continued negotiation with the eu, still hoping that they can get more from them. he said he would not expect at this stage that they would be given a legal reassurance but perhaps this was still to come. this was him speaking earlier. the prime minister's going to continue to seek assurances that parliament has, members of parliament of many parties have been asking for. that work is going to continue over the days to come and then she will bring the deal back and we will continue that debate and have a vote. some will say it is late in the day to talk about first steps, when eu leaders tell the prime minister to provide more clarity on what she wa nts, provide more clarity on what she wants, how will she do that when she

does not have the unanimity within her own party? that is the fundamental problem, there is a difference between what david liddington was saying and what we hear from the liddington was saying and what we hearfrom the eu. the eu suggest that they would be willing to offer clarity and reassurance but what they do not, what they are not willing to do is reopen the agreement so there is disparity between the adjustment positions. as you say, the crux of this is that there is no majority in parliament for anything. there are those advocating a no deal situation and those who want another vote, those who want another model, a softer brexit and a closer relationship with the eu and labour pushing for a general election. theresa may's problem is she cannot go to brussels and say, give me this and i will guarantee it will get through parliament, she is having to manage those different factions here and convince the eu that they should help her in some way. as it stands

right now, it is looking difficult for her to find a way through. is there the remotest chance that that meaningful vote could come as weak as labour is calling for? labour is pushing for that but downing street is clear it will happen after christmas. we know it will be before january the 21st but we do not know exactly when. downing street is suggesting it will be led by the pace of conversations in brussels and the plan is for the prime minister to continue those conversations, perhaps on a one—to—one basis with eu cou nterpa rts one—to—one basis with eu counterparts over the next few days and weeks to get some sort of reassurance from them that she can bring back here. we are pretty sure that we will not see the vote this side of christmas and after christmas, well, let's see what theresa may puts down before parliament when it comes to that. alex forsyth at westminster, thank you. the headlines on bbc news...

eu diplomats describe theresa may's perfomance at the summit as "bad" and "vague", and tell her to provide more clarity on what she wants. police in france shoot dead the gunman who attacked strasbourg's christmas market. unions warn britain has suffered the worst pay squeeze for centuries, with real pay still a third lower than before the financial crisis. and in the sport, chelsea fans face the rath of their club again, as their team draws in hungary, some supporters are accused of abusive behaviour, and chelsea have started investigations into anti—semitic chanting. celtic are sent into the knockout stages of the europa league, despite celtic fans seeing their side lose at home to salzburg. and, wimbledon is getting bigger. almost three times as large after the neighbouring golf club decided to sell some land. all of the headlines in 20 minutes. thanks, mike. see you soon. one of

our headline stories... police in france have shot dead a man wanted for the attack on a christmas market in strasbourg which killed three people and left several more wounded. french officials said a police patrol found cherif chekatt wandering through the streets of the city after being on the run for several days. our europe reporter gavin lee has been to the scene of the raid on a property in strasboug this morning where the chase came to an end. this is the door of 7a rue de lazaret in neudorf. you can see, this is the place where the suspect of the strasbourg christmas market shooting, cherif chekatt, was killed. what we know, as we come out from this building at nine o'clock, around this area, it is a heavy industrial area, a residential area, too. there is a football stadium here of strasbourg. so three ordinary police officers, patrol officers, were walking past here and they saw cherif chekatt

at the door. they thought he was acting suspiciously. we are told that he looked like he was injured because he had been injured on tuesday night. he was shot in the arm as he escaped from the soldiers after killing three people and injuring 12 others. what then happened is the officers shouted to him. he turned, we are told, shot towards the officers. as we can see, here, they shot back and he was killed. after a 48—hour manhunt, in minutes, the operation was over. we also heard this morning from the french interior minister, who said they don't believe, the french authorities, that he had a support network. what they are saying is they had detained members of his family, five members, for questioning, his mother, his father, two brothers and a sister, and that he effectively was hiding out here, somewhere perhaps amongst rubble, perhaps amongst familiar places that he knew in the past. so this long time career criminal, who had many charges not related to terrorism, was on a list of those who were suspected of extremism in france and was being monitored. for the moment, there will be

questions about that but there is relief here, sheer relief that it is over and some normality returning as well, because the christmas markets are opening after being closed, today. the streets have been so quiet now. some kind of life continuing, now the raid is over. gavin lee reporting. the public spending watchdog has found that an army recruitment drive has faced "significant problems" — including a website that cost three times its budget and was 52 months late. outsourcing giant capita was awarded the £495 million contract for army recruitment in 2012 — but the national audit office reports says it has failed to hit soldier recruitment targets every year since. capita admitted it had "underestimated the complexity" of the project. the army said it had "put in place a plan to address the challenges". wages are still worth a third less in some parts

of the country than a decade ago, according to a report by the tuc. research by the office of national statistics says there was a record 32.5 million people in work in october, while earnings are rising by 3.3% — their fastest rate for a decade — and by more than the rate of inflation. but the tuc point out that because of the way pay has lagged behind the cost of living on the whole over recent years, our real incomes are still below where they were ahead of the financial crisis. because of that workers have lost out an average of £11,800 over the last decade in real pay. the worst affected are londoners, who've lost out to the tune of £20,000 on average. joining me now from central london is stephen clarke, he is a senior economic analyst at the think thank resolution foundation — which aims to improve the standard of living of for low— and middle—income families.

thank you forjoining us today. at the report in context for us. do you fundamentally agree with the tuc‘s findings? the context as we had a disastrous decade for pay, real wages are below where they were before the financial crisis, that's the bad news but the good news is, wages are rising and have done so strongly towards the end of this year. rising at the quickest rate in about a decade, and rising above inflation. there is some good news but it's been a poor decade. why have some areas been worst affected by this lag? the pay lag, if you wa nt to by this lag? the pay lag, if you want to call it that, than others? there are different stories in different parts of the country. in london, research showed that the challenge was for new starters in london and people moving in and out of work. if you remain in a job in

london, you've done quite well but if you are moving in and out of work and employment or you are starting yourjob for the first time, your pay is low. in other parts there will be different challenges, broader economic challenges in parts of the country. it is a local story, and therefore that's why you get different figures. and looking at the big picture, with the tuc pointing out that because of the way they has lagged behind the cost of living on the whole, we are worse off as living on the whole, we are worse offasa living on the whole, we are worse off as a country than a decade ago, and most people have expectations that, in general, with each generation, people will become better off? definitely, the big picture is worrying in terms of wages. inflation for many, has struggled to keep up and as a country, growth has been very slow. as an economy we have been growing slowly in the last decade too. that is all very bad news but the good news is on wages that are starting to rise. the real unknown is how

much we will see that strength continuing to 2019, and whether other things like uncertainty around brexit, whether it will mean that we set back even further or if we start to catch up with the ground that we have lost. on the subject of catching up, is it ever possible to catching up, is it ever possible to catch up on the ground lost? given the uncertainty over the economy in relation to brexit especially? the office for budget responsibility governments forecast expect us to regain that lost wage into the 20 20s but then the future is unknown, and lots of things could throw that off. it could be quicker than that, we don't know. as i said, it's been a poor decade and we will not see that unwound anytime soon. thank you very much for your thoughts on that today, stephen clark, senior economic analyst at the resolution foundation. sad news coming into us about a baby who has died in hospital after he was attacked two

dogs. police said that ruben mcnulty died at addenbrooke's hospital in cambridge yesterday. the infant had been left fighting for his life following an attack at the address in yaxley, cambridgeshire, on november the 18th. we understand, well, what we know if the circumstances of the incident, were that two staffordshire bull terriers we re that two staffordshire bull terriers were involved. paramedics were called to the property in the early hours of the morning on november the 18th, after the little boy was attacked and two staffordshire bull terriers were removed and placed in police kennels. cambridge police say that both dogs have since been destroyed. the baby was taken to peterborough city hospital with life—threatening head injuries and later transferred to addenbrooke's hospital where he sadly died yesterday, police say. police say a 28—year—old woman and a 31—year—old

man, both from yaxley, have been arrested on suspicion of child neglect and have been released under investigation. its 9:27am. we have the weather forecast for you in a moment that first, let's hear what victoria derbyshire has on the programme at ten o'clock. it's 18 months since the grenfell tire that killed 72 people and the first phase of the enquiry into what happened, we take a look at a video and some stars joining grenfell united, demanding change. this is not a charity film but a clarity film. it's about what happened 18 months ago in grenfell. and after ten o'clock, i have a big deal on the latest alleged anti—semitic chanting involving chelsea

supporters, and we have straightly come dancing contestants and a former contestant —— strictly come dancing. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. good morning, disruptive weather as we head into the weekend, heavy snow moving in across northern parts of the uk but before we get there, today will be another cold day. frosty to begin with this morning. a lot of sunshine in england, wales and scotland. some showers on the eastern side of both countries, but for northern ireland and the south—west, more cloud here. some spots of rain. temperatures of 3—6d, not as cold as it was yesterday because the wind is not as strong. overnight tonight, widespread rain moving into the west, clear skies in central and eastern areas meaning we have frost. first thing on saturday morning. not so frosty in the south—west, that rain will move in

that during saturday, it will bump into the colder air, giving some snow. over high ground of northern england and scotland but even at low levels, that could be disruptive. stay tuned to the forecast. hello, this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines. eu diplomats describe theresa may's perfomance at the summit as "bad" and "vague", and tell her to provide more clarity on what she wants. police in france shoot dead the gunman who attacked strasbourg's christmas market. unions warn britain has suffered the worst pay for centuries, with real pay still a third lower than before the financial crisis. nasa's juno mission to jupiter reveals spectacular views of the planet's polar storms. time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed

on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. the eu has called on britain to be clear about what it wants on brexit but warned it won't renegotiate theresa may's withdrawal agreement. the prime minister doesn't appear to have won any significant concessions from brussels at last night's summit. as she seeks to get the deal through parliament. european leaders are meeting later for a second day of talks. the cabinet office minister david lidington, who is, in effect, theresa may's deputy, has been speaking to the media this morning. he said yesterday's discussions were just the start and that eu leaders showed "a clear committment to negotiate a trade deal with the uk speedily". well, we've already made a first step. the conclusions that came out of the european summit overnight were very welcome statement that i think responded to the fears expressed in the house of commons last week. a lot of mps said, "look, we think the

eu just wants to trap us in this backstop". the eu said last night, "we don't want the backstop ever used. none of us want it used. if it is used, we only want it for as short a time as possible and we are all of us committed to working at speed to get the trade deal with the uk done so we never have to use the backstop or it is only there for a short time if it ever has to be made operational". so how would that deal look like with legal assurances for the backstop? well, we didn't get the legal reassurances last night. i'd have been delighted if we had done so. i mean, the reality is that the brexit issue was only added to the agenda of the summit at the last minute. they already had a whole host of issues leading off with the italian budget crisis, that's a big problem for the eurozone. they want to talk about those things. the pm is going to continue her talks with other european leaders over the days to come and i hope we can get those further assurances in that. but mrjuncker‘s comments don't look positive and they want more detail on what you want. well, mrjuncker‘s comments seem to be directed more at parliament

than at the government. i mean, anyone who sat round the table with theresa may as i have, orfrankly, anybody who has listened to her in the house of commons, and she's been on her feet for well over 20 hours in the last few weeks, at the dispatch box, will know she's very, very clear. she thinks, as do i, that this deal on the table is a decent compromise. both we and the eu have had to give during negotiations but we've got a deal now that respects the result of the referendum, two years ago, but does so in a way that protects alf jobs, investment and living standards here in britain. but if there was a vote tomorrow, it wouldn't go through, so how is it going to change between now and the 21st of january? the prime minister is going to continue to seek the assurances that parliament, members of parliament of many parties, has been asking for. that work is going to continue over the days to come and then she will bring the deal back

and we will continue that debate and have the vote. but there was a very different view from the former labour prime minister tony blair when he spoke to radio 4's today programme. he said the prime minister has a range of options ahead of her, but he thinks they'll soon be a majority in the commons for another brexit referendum. well, i think it's perfectly possible for her to become, as it were, the facilitator, and to say, "look, there are various options. if we can't have a parliamentary majority for any of those options, then it becomes logical to say to the british people, parliament is gridlocked, parliament can't decide and therefore we've got to go back to the british people to decide". but she's got to get that through parliament. how does she do that? i think she can get it through parliament because i think there will be a majority in parliament in the end for a referendum, if no other option of brexit works. but even if the labour front bench remained formally against it, which of course they are at the moment... yes, but the labour front bench are saying, i think, their preference is a general election but if a general election doesn't happen, then they are in favour of a referendum. look, the problem with this, and it's very important to understand that northern ireland and the difficulties

over northern ireland isjust a subset of the fundamental dilemma of the negotiation. we have spent four and half decades in the eu. over that time, we've been part of the economic structures as well as the political structures. there are commercial, trading, investment, corporate relationships that have grown up, interlinked with the rest of europe. the dilemma of the negotiation is that you either stay in step with europe's rules, economic rules, in order to minimise economic damage. that's your pointless brexit. or you break free of europe altogether, go your own way, make your own rules, but that's painful because you are going to disrupt all of the relationships that have grown up. and the real problem all the way through the negotiation is the government has been trying to find a middle ground. in other words, we have access to the european markets but without abiding by the european rules. this has never been possible and the only reason the northern ireland thing is even more acute is that, as i say, we gave this central demand that there should be a frictionless border between the north and south of ireland and that can only happen if you stay in the economic structures of the eu. you are saying this morning,

you think there will be a majority in the house of commons, soon, for another referendum? i think that will happen if it is, if it's clear that there is no majority for any one form of brexit. you've got different options on brexit. by the way, all of them are perfectly negotiable with the european union. but they all fall into the category of pointless or painful. tony blair speaking on the today programme on radio four. let's take a look at the top stories you are reading on the bbc news broke —— a website. number one, although we are spending a lot of time talking about brexit, you want to read about it as well. the headline, the eu is noted theresa may on renegotiating the deal. number four, let's theresa may on renegotiating the deal. numberfour, let's have a closer look, it says the tourist pound is now down to close to just $1, travellers finding they are barely being offered a us dollar in exchange for the pound following the

continuing uncertainty over brexit, for example, at heathrow airport, the article tells you, you are finding as little as $1.05 coming across the counter if you hand over £1. it explains the pound is at its wea kest £1. it explains the pound is at its weakest against the us dollar since april 2017, although it has recovered slightly since theresa may went macro —— theresa may won the vote of confidence this week. one that has just dropped off the list is an interesting story about scientists calling for mandatory food labels that spell out the impact on the environment of everything from meat to chocolate. they say it would help consumers make informed choices about how the food they eat can contribute to climate change. let's get more on that story now with our correspondent helen briggs. just give us a little bit more detail about this call from scientists. what are they trying to achieve? generally speaking, people wa nt achieve? generally speaking, people want more information about the food

they are buying. we are used to things like labels on health so you can look and see how much sugar and fat there is but we don't always get clear information about how the food you are buying might affect the planet. we know that food growing is a big cause of greenhouse gas emissions, right at the top of the list, things like beef and lamb but there can be some surprises and people generally want more information on that. but because there is no clear, mandatory system, it can be confusing to know what to buy. you have got an avocado on the desk in front of you so let's have a look at that. there is a calculator on the website and we can call that up on the website and we can call that up on the screen. if you go onto the calculator, it says, which food would you like? you can click through, a civil process, and you say, over an entire year, your avocado consumption is contributing

15 kilograms to your annual greenhouse gas emissions. that is the equivalent of driving a regular petrol car 39 miles, same as eating the average home for two days. it is interesting when you see the comparisons. . and in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, as things 90, greenhouse gas emissions, as things go, avocados are quite good, and save you compared that with beef, the same kind of amount of beef in terms of servings per week, it would be hundreds of times higher. but when you look at water, growing avocados, you need a lot of water, so the avocado is equivalent to sa showers lasting eight minutes over the course of a year. in terms of water impact, it is not great. people have to bear in mind that it is not just greenhouse people have to bear in mind that it is notjust greenhouse gas emissions, it is the effect food is having on water and the other big thing is land use. if land with trees on his being cleared to grow

something like chocolate, then that is not good for the planet generally. we could all tie ourselves up in knots as consumers, trying to make the right choices but this is obviously a very useful tool. i guess for the people who campaignfor tool. i guess for the people who campaign for you to buy local, and reduce food miles and so on, this kind of thing and call from scientists is right up there straight —— there straight. scientists is right up there straight -- there straight. and there is reports coming out from the ipcc, the scientist behind climate change, what individuals can do, things like thinking about food waste is a really sensible step because i think 8% of emissions are from froude being thrown away and thinking about what you are buying —— from food being thrown away. there are some complex decisions behind that because if you take something like beef, depending on how and where the cows are raised, it can have a very big difference on the impact of the food. really

interesting. thank you forjoining us. continuing the morning briefing by looking at the end of an era. on the bbc‘s question time last night, david dimbleby bowed out after 25 years as host. the audience and panel gave him a standing ovation as he signed off. he said the programme was a team effort and he thanked all the staff who worked on it, and the audiences who had contributed over the last quarter of a century. this programme marks the end of my tenure of the chair. cheering and applause. thank you, thank you, very, very much. ijust wanted to add some words to that, which was to say that after a quarter of a century, i'm off to new pastures, or at least in search of new pastures. but i didn't want to end without saying something about this programme, which it is, of all the programmes i've ever worked on for the bbc, a truly team effort. i wanted to end by thanking

the people who have made it possible over these last 25 years. but above all, i wanted to thank you here tonight, this audience. you arejoining over 100,000 people in the last 25 years who has been in the question time audience and you've exercised this, what i think is a really important democratic right, to put questions to the panel and to argue with each other, as you have been tonight. i just wanted to say thank you all, our audiences, both at home and here in the studios, very much. and so my thanks to tonight's panel. question time, remember, thursday, january the 10th, fiona bruce will be in the chair. i hope you willjoin her then. for me, a happy christmas and not goodbye, but good night. applause david dimbleby, there.

now, spectacular new images of our solar system's largest planet jupiter have been released. the pictures have been taken by nasa'sjuno space probe halfway through its mission to the gas giant. as it orbits the planet every 53 days, juno performs a dive, speeding from pole to pole, gathering data as it speeds through space. scientists analysing the data have discovered the planet has enormous storms larger than texas that last for several months. watching on the bbc website this morning. let's have a look at some of the top stories you're watching on the bbc website this morning. at number one is david dimbleby bowing out from question time after a quarter of a century but looking down the list, at number nine, sea foa m down the list, at number nine, sea foam bringing dawlish and early festive treat. not the kind of white christmas you might necessarily be thinking of at at this time of year but the sea foam is caused by lots of algae in the sea water which is then whipped up by rough seas and as

you can see from the images, it creates a festive feel for dawlish in devon. and there's a battle of words between two of the bbc‘s top sports broadcasters. match of the day host gary lineker has been criticised by cricket correspondent jonathan agnew for expressing his political views on social media. agnew, who leads the test match special commentary, team said "gary. you are the face of bbc sport. please observe bbc editorial guidelines and keep your political views, whatever they are and whatever the subject, to yourself. i'd be sacked if i followed your example. thanks". replying, the former england captain said, "jonathan, i'm the face of my own twitter account. i'll continue to tweet what i like and if folk disagree with me then so be it. thank you so much for your concern, which, i imagine, wouldn't be a concern at all if you agreed with me". after what many agreed was one of the most civil disagreements ever, aggers concluded "ok. view is overwhelmingly keep going gary! you can stop the aggro now..."

that's it for today's morning briefing. sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's mike bushell. i'm glad peace has broken out between jonathan agnew and gary lineker! i would between jonathan agnew and gary lineker! iwould not between jonathan agnew and gary lineker! i would not want to be involved in that. good morning. for the second time in a week, chelsea fans face allegations of offensive behaviour. first of all, four fans were banned from their ground after allegedly racially abusing the manchester city player raheem sterling. now uefa says it will await the referee's report from last night, after allegations of anti—semitic chanting, and a strongly worded statement released by the club says, "anti—semitism, ?and any other kind of race—related or religious hatred, is?abhorrent to this club and the overwhelming majority of our fans. any individuals that are?found to have shamed the club will face the strongest possible action." on the field, chelsea had already won their group, but they went behind against the hungarian side mol vidi

after this brilliant volley. but a perfectly placed free kick from olivier giroud earned them a 2—2 draw. elsewhere, it was a night of extraordinary drama for celtic as they were beaten, but still managed to progress to the next round. they were already a goal down before this howler of an error from keeper craig gordon gave salzburg a second. they went 2—0 up. at that point, it looked like celtic were heading out. but when news filtered through, that rosenborg had drawn the other group match, it meant that celtic‘s result no longer mattered. they pulled a goal back, but the celebrations had already begun. their glasgow rivals rangers are out of the competition after they were beaten 1—0 by rapid vienna. steven gerrard's side needed a win to qualify, but instead it is the austrian side who reach the knock—out stage. arsenal had already won their group, so there was nothing riding on their result. they saw off qarabag. alexander lacazette with the only goal of the game at the emirates.

let's have a look at some of this morning's back pages. they are dominated by news from hungary about the alleged behaviour of some chelsea fans, with allegations coming just days after some fans were banned for remarks made to mancester city's raheem sterling. the daily express says "will they never learn?" the telegraph goes with the same story, echoing the wording used in the club's statement about the "shame" this behaviour is bringing in their name, but interestingly down at the bottom, oliver brown is suggesting that team sky principal dave brailsford should step down and finally in the guardian, aston vila have suspended tehir long—serving youth coach, kevin macdonald over allegations of bullying. former youth player gareth farrelly, who has now qualified as a solictor, has says "it was a toxic, bullying culture for young players". it's the fight that everyone has been hoping, would happen — and anthonyjoshua has confirmed

he does want to fight deontay wilder next year. he'd already booked wembley for next april, all‘s that's missing is an opponent. joshua holds the ibf, wbo and wba belts but the winner of this bout would make one of them the undisputed champion of the heavyweight division. after wilder's draw with tyson fury earlier this month, there has been a lot of talk about a possible rematch, but most boxing fans want to see either fighterfacejoshua, who has said he's "not interested in fury because he's not the champion". now, the women's world darts champion lisa ashton has been knocked out of the men's tournament. the professional darts competition has been expanded this year to guarantee spots for two female players. ashton won the first set, but her dutch opponent yan dekker hit back to win the next three, to progress to the second round. russia's anastasia dobromislova is the other female competitior. she plays her first round match on monday. it's round 4 of the champions cup pool stages this weekend and we have coverage across the bbc. starting this evening, with another west country derby between gloucester and exeter chiefs on bbc radio 5live sports extra.

gloucester could go top of the group, but only a win will keep alive exeter‘s hopes of reaching the knockout stages. there was a story about flatulence disrupting a darts match recently and on social media, the same issue is causing a stir ahead of next week's world pie eating championships in wigan. the mirror is sharing the story that the traditional meat and potato pies have been withdrawn because they allegedly cause wind. they have been replaced by chicken ones, but former champion dave smyth is quoted saying, "they are easier to eat. it weakens the competition, and is like asking ronaldo to play with a plastic ball." that's all the sport for now. more from the bbc sport centre at 11.15. 100 years ago today — history was made when women got

to vote in a british general election for the first time. over the last few months here on bbc news, we've looked at some of the incredible stories of the women who originally fought for those rights. this morning we hear from some of the campaigners still battling for change. here's jayne mccubbin. in 1918 vote is just the first step on the road to equality. but it took another ten years what equal franchise. by 1928, all women are finally able to vote. more and more begin to work. but by 1930, women are paid only of half the rate paid to men. that started to change in 1956 with the very first equal pay reform. but only teachers and civil serva nts reform. but only teachers and civil servants were deemed worthy. decade later... come and join us. another milestone is passed. decade later... come and join us.

another milestone is passedm decade later... come and join us. another milestone is passed. it was the 1967 abortion act. i personally think it was one of the most fundamental reforms of the 19605. it gave women power over their reproductive live5. gave women power over their reproductive lives. in 1968, women at dagenham car factory reproductive lives. in 1968, women at dagenham carfactory make reproductive lives. in 1968, women at dagenham car factory make a stand, a fight which leads to the equal pay act. i became the first woman to fight and win the first equal pay case. we all agreed we couldn't understand why myself as a woman was being paid is different and yet had the same qualifications. in 1974, there came a momentous year for the women's liberation movement with this. the pill was finally available not only to married women but to single women. and then in 1979... but to single women. and then in 1979. .. her majesty the queen has asked me to form a new administration and i have accepted. but even in 1979, it would still

ta ke but even in 1979, it would still take another year for women, including the prime minister, to be able to apply for a mortgage or alone in their own name. the pace of change is moving fast. in 1997, we are introduced to blair's babes, a landmark moment for women in politics. and in 2001, a landmark moment for women in love. as two lesbians, karen and i were able to signa lesbians, karen and i were able to sign a partnership register. and we are still madly in love! women were finally starting to smash through the glass ceiling in all kinds of ways. in 2004, i became the first woman in 40 years to have composed and conducted a symphony. women have come so far down the road to equality but ask these women where we are today, and they will tell

you. there's still so much more to be done. only 3296 of mps are women. women are still paid a fifth le55 than men. it is still happening. it i5 than men. it is still happening. it is still going on. less than a third of ceos in the ftse1oo are women. keep fighting, that is what i say the old me55age keep fighting, that is what i say the old message of eternal vigilance wa5 the old message of eternal vigilance was never more needed. the old message of eternal vigilance was never more neededlj the old message of eternal vigilance was never more needed. i really don't want to have to wait for another 100 years. nor does any other woman. scientists have been exploring what's become known as the "world's most remote island". bouvet is a small volcanic rock in the south atlantic, more than a 600 miles from the next piece of land. researchers are taking samples of its ice.

they believe it will hold clues to the past behaviour of the winds that blow around the antarctic. jonathan amos has more. bouvet island is this extraordinary place in the south atlantic, literally in the middle of nowhere. it isa literally in the middle of nowhere. it is a volcanic rock that comes out of the ocean. it is quite small, only about 60 square metres but it is far away from anywhere. you would have to sail 2500 kilometres to get to cape town. if you went on the other direction, trying to get to the antarctic, it's another 1500 kilometres. but it is in a really interesting spot in the south atlantic. it sits in the middle of the westerly wins, the wins that circulate around the antarctic continent. —— wrote the westerly winds. because of that, scientists think that in the icy that sit on top of the volcanic rock, there is a climate record that can tell them about the history of the winds. they have recently dropped onto the island on a helicopter, the only way you can get on and they have drilled down. they have taken the isis back

to the lab to look for markers in theice to the lab to look for markers in the ice that might tell them about the ice that might tell them about the action of wind. so you get dust that goes into the ice layers when it is very windy. you get other stuff blown off the service of the sea “— stuff blown off the service of the sea —— of the surface of the sea. they have discovered that the ice that they drilled only goes back to about 2001. if they go again to the island, they think they may be able to find a place where they can get a record which is hundreds, maybe thousands of years old and this is why it is important. the wind is changing in the antarctic, getting stronger. as the wind gets stronger, it pulls up deep, warm water to the surface and that is getting under the glaciers of antarctica and melting them. we want to know what is the history of the winds. are they doing this because every so often they get stronger or is there a human impact? are humans causing the winds to get stronger and therefore driving climate change in therefore driving climate change in the antarctic? this is the purpose and this is why bouvet island,

strange as it is, is a very fascinating place to be. just time to tell you, chocolate may be a staple of the christmas diet, but one man wanted more than most. he was arrested in manchester on suspicion of stealing £2oo worth of chocolate bars. the suspect was chased by officers on their way to a local community christmas dinner and was found with what police have called an "enormous stash" of bars. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. it was a cold night, temperatures in farnborough down to —7 through this morning, a widespread frost but it has been a lovely start to the day, some sunshine and blue skies in glasgow, but the weather will turn more disruptive over the next 24 hours. more about that in a moment but before we get to the disruptive weather, today is looking largely dry and sunny across many areas, a bit more clout for northern ireland,

south—west wales and england, a few spots of rain and a few showers down the eastern side of england and eastern scotland as well. there wind for many not as strong as yesterday so it won't feel quite as bitter but still a cold day, temperatures 3—5. overnight tonight, we will have some clear skies in central and eastern areas. that will give some frost again but more cloud and rain across the west, and a strengthening wind. temperatures in belfast and plymouth will stay at about 6 degrees. you can see the less cold air is starting to move in. the wind changes from south—easterly to south—westerly and that will drag in these weather systems. this is what is going to cause many of us on saturday quite an unpleasant day. with that rain moving in and hitting cold air, it will turn to snow with a bit of ice as well. there is likely to be some disruption throughout saturday. before that, some strong wind. all of us will see some strong wind. all of us will see some strong wind. all of us will see some strong wind, rain spreading in and that will be heavy in places and it could lead to localised flooding

but you will notice as the rain moves further north and east, we will see snow falling over the higher ground of northern england and across scotland. a cold day. temperatures three or 4 degrees but with strong winds, which will make it feel like —3 in eastern parts. there is the snow, 2—5 centimetres ever higher ground in the pennines, down to lower levels in northern england, and a bit of snow before it turns to rain. across scotland, particularly the central belt, a bit of concern at the moment because through saturday evening, that could cause some disruption. strong winds going through saturday night into sunday and still snow for a time across scotland. more and more piling on across the higher ground. eventually by sunday, it will clear away. showers moving into the south—west. some sunny spells and not as cold on sunday, so turning milder as the weekend goes on. temperatures of 6—10. lots going on for tomorrow. really worth staying tuned to the forecast. goodbye.

hello, it's ten o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire... it is friday at last! coming up today. a 49—year—old woman with learning disabilities has died after having all her teeth removed. the nhs trust involved in worcesterhas been criticised for its "drastic" full extractions from other vulnerable patients. we'll bring you the story and talk live to mencap before 11. european leaders say they won't renegotiate theresea may's brexit deal — and have called on the prime minister to be clearer about what changes she wants to the northern ireland backstop. the union stands by this agreement and intends to proceed with its certification. it is not open for renegotiation. 18 months exactly since the grenfell tower fire — which killed 72 people — survivors release a video
