no renegotiation in brussels but theresa may says the eu will provide further clarification on her brexit deal. if we are going to leave with a deal, this is it. but my discussions with colleagues today have shown that further clarification and discussion following the councils conclusions is in fact possible. but heated words between mrs may and jean—claude juncker as she accuses him of describing her latest efforts as nebulous. he denies it. i did not refer to her, but to the overall state of the debate in britain. and that's why i was saying that this was nebulous, foggy, in english. we'll be looking at where the negotiations are at now with the eu and where they go from here. also tonight... a baby has died after being attacked by two dogs in the family home when he was just five weeks old. the premier league joins chelsea in condemning unacceptable behaviour after anti—semitic chants

at last nights‘s game. donald trump's former lawyer says the president is a liar and knew about hush money paid to women on his behalf. and back on dry land — the british sailor rescued after being adrift 2000 miles off shore. and coming up on bbc news... after raheem sterling's comments on how young black footballers are portrayed by the press, we'll be discussing race, football and the media. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. after a bruising encounter in brussels, the prime minister says she still believes she can get extra assurances from eu leaders

to get her brexit withdrawal agreement through parliament. eu leaders say they'll offer no renegotiation but will offer what they call ‘further clarifications‘ on the irish backstop, which aims to avoid barriers to trade on the island of ireland. theresa may was filmed having a heated discussion with the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, during which she accused him of saying her latest proposals are nebulous, something he has denied. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg has the latest. a bad omen? a better morning, for more than one reason. the prime minister came to brussels hunting concessions from the eu. does the eu like your plan prime minister? but they did not just like your plan prime minister? but they did notjust say no, one of their top politicians said she did not even know what she wanted, she was nebulous. leading this private, careful politician to show real angen careful politician to show real anger. did you goal me nebulous she seems to say tojean—claudejuncker.

he, grasping her arm, seems to say tojean—claudejuncker. he, grasping herarm, the microphones may be off but you can see exactly what went on stop the dutch prime minister comes along to try to make peace. later, she had not forgotten the accusation.” try to make peace. later, she had not forgotten the accusation. i was klister clear about the assurances needed on the backstop having heard the views of mps in the house of commons. i reiterated that it is in the interests of the eu as well as the interests of the eu as well as the uk to get this over the line. eu leaders had said she would not get those concessions on the so—called backstop. she begged to differ. my discussions with colleagues today have shown that further clarification and discussion following the councils conclusions is in fact possible. you looked very angry when you were speaking to jean—claude juncker earlier today, what did you say to him and did he had met he called you nebulous? and

secondly, the conclusions suggest the eu is not willing to budge but you appear to suggest they might, can you tell us more about what they have said to you about their willingness to move? because if parliament will not budge and the eu will not budge is it time for you to budge? first of all i had a robust discussion with jean—claude juncker, that's the sort of discussion you can have when you have developed a working relationship and you work well together. and what came out of that was his clarity that actually he had been talking when he used that particular phrase about a general level of debate. we can look at this issue of further clarification, and that has been something i have been discussing with a number of eu leaders so we will be working expeditiously over the coming days to seek those further assurances that i believe mps will need. you might wonder what exactly has been going on with these negotiations. what are the

misunderstandings in the relations between the eu and the prime minister? what has the president of the european commission really been up the european commission really been up to since that row? laughter we we re up to since that row? laughter we were not dancing. she thought that i did criticise her by saying yesterday night that the british position was nebulous. i did not refer to her, but to the overall state of the debate in britain. in the course of the morning, after checked having what i said yesterday night, she was kissing me. laughter we have treated prime minister theresa may with much greater empathy and respect in some british mp's, empathy and respect in some british mp's, for sure. we have to bring down the temperature. these attacks

coming from westminster against europe, against the european commission, will not be responded in the same way by the european commission. although i would like to do it. on and off the stage the message from the eu is clear, they promised they will do a trade deal as quickly as possible so the backstop is never needed. but that cannot mean changing what has already been agreed. we will not renegotiate it and we do not want to reopen it. but theresa is a tough negotiator and there is a lot of understanding also for what to the uk wants. but i think we have to find a way to deal with each other. i think the current deal is a good one for both sides. and hearing what has been said in brussels back in westminster, that just has been said in brussels back in westminster, thatjust will not has been said in brussels back in westminster, that just will not wash with mps who are demanding new legal guarantees. to coin a phrase it was a bit nebulous. she has not provided

any new guarantees at all about the withdrawal agreement. 0r specifically the backstop. so she's been to the european council, she's expressed her concerns, and they've given her absolutely nothing. we know the answer to the question of whether there will be changes and it is no. what we need is for this vote to be put next week, is to vote on it and for parliament to take control of the process. the prime minister leaves her with a big problem, remember she kept herjob in part this week because she promised she could get more compromise from her fellow eu leaders. but she's left tonight with assurances that there could be more conversations, and that simply might not be concrete enough to protect her ina not be concrete enough to protect her in a hostile environment at home. expectations even yesterday we re home. expectations even yesterday were of more positive promises, but bumpy late—night talks directed those. the cold truth is the lack of

trust at westminster is felt 200 miles away. in a moment we'll speak to our deputy political editor john pienaar in downing street. but first to our europe correspondent damian grammaticas in brussels, clarification but no renegotiation is what's on offer from the eu at the moment. what chance now of theresa may getting anything meaningful out of brussels? fiona, i think it's hard to see in the coming days because there are no formal negotiations going on, the leaders here have not committed to any sort of a new meeting or summit coming up injanuary and although they discussed the idea of looking into what offers are what assurance they can give to the uk they decided not to go ahead with that. and the reason was simple, and that hour that they spent talking to theresa may yesterday they had specific questions for her which where what does she need, what does she think she can get through parliament and

finally, what sort of future relationship does she envisage with the eu? her answer is, they felt we re the eu? her answer is, they felt were not sufficiently clear. so as the irish prime minister was seeing a short time ago, the eu think they have given assurances, that they will negotiate a trade deal as quickly as possible but as he said, there is not a way they feel they can run international relations to agree something two weeks ago, have the negotiating partner back you're asking for more concessions when it's not even been put to parliament. so i think what we will see is the eu digging in, holding firm. they could wait for the uk to present some ideas but otherwise we might have to wait until the clock is really ticking down injanuary to see if anyone will shift. and john, now the summit is over, what lies ahead for theresa may back here? well, fiona, the end of a trial of a week for theresa may, perhaps the best that can be said from her point of view is that she is still in the

job and battling on. but her brexit plan still looks like a crushing defeat waiting to happen, many conservatives believe it's the best plan available and she will go on looking for ways to reassure the commons. but as we head towards the big vote on that plan byjanuary 21 the brexit supporters will carry on plotting, pro—europeans in the cabinet will be canvassing the idea of votes in parliament to find out what other plan might win through. and as for a second referendum those supporting that including tony blair who has been speaking today, they get more confident by the day. jeremy corbyn is not keen on that plan and is waiting on an opportunity to embarrass and damage the government by forcing a vote of confidence. either way the statement on monday on the summit today looks like being another ordeal. as we head into the festive season for theresa may, hope is running short and in british politics, fiona,

charity is very thin on the ground. thank you both very much. a baby has died after he was attacked by two dogs at his family's home in cambridgeshire. reuben mcnulty, who was five weeks old, was taken to hospital after the attack in yaxley last month but has died of his injuries. jon donnison reports. reuben mcnulty was only born last month. still just tiny and vulnerable. on 18th november, the police were called to this flat on a quiet suburburban estate in yaxley near peterborough. police officers say reuben had been attacked by two staffordshire bull terriers. he was treated for head injuries at adambrooks hospital in cambridge, but died yesterday. reuben mcnulty was just two weeks old when he was attacked by the two dogs in the upstairs flat behind me. neighbours have described the dogs as being docile. 0ne neighbour said it was a freak accident. police say a 31—year—old man and a 28—year—old woman who were arrested on suspicion

of child neglect have been released under investigation. locals say that reuben's parents, daniel mcnulty and amy litchfield, are the two people questioned and released by police. officers say the death is not being treated as suspicious and the two dogs have been destroyed. a 16—year—old boy has been convicted of raping and murdering a 14—year—old girl in a wolverhampton park. victoria sokolova had arranged to meet the boy in west park last april. he can't be named because of his age, but has been told he'll face a mandatory life sentence. after a week in which allegations of racism in football have grabbed the headlines, england's premier league has urged fans to report unacceptable behaviour. chelsea have strongly condemned supporters who chanted anti—semitic abuse during a match in hungary last night — saying they have "shamed the club". our sports correspondent joe wilson's report contains images that some viewers may find upsetting. at their home ground, chelsea

present a welcome to the world. but this is a football club shamed by a section of its supporters — chelsea made that clear today. last night some chelsea fans used a match in hungary to chant anti—semitic words about a rival club in london — tottenham. it's not an isolated example. educationalfilms have been made, endorsed by chelsea, showing previous incidents of fans making anti—tottenham chants, and then showing the historical reality of the holocaust. there is an element of that chant which is meant to bejust anti—tottenham and that's the whole point of the film, to say, you might think your making anti—tottenham chants, but actually when you make, when you sing "spurs are on their way to auschwitz", this is what you're really chanting about. chelsea know the problem. the club promised today that any individual found to have shamed the club by using anti—semitic or racist words or actions will face the strongest possible action from the club.

instances of anti—semitism are especially poignant and hard to comprehend at this club. after all, roman abramovich, who has bankrolled chelsea for so many years, is himself jewish. but last nights events come hard on the heels of chelsea's game against manchester city and what happened there to raheem sterling. chelsea have suspended four people from attending games after allegations by raheem sterling that he was racially abused. so, a grim old problem returning, or a sign of today's times? you hope that it's something that doesn't escalate sometimes when times are harder, then, they become more prevalent. but racism holds no place in our game, it holds no place in society. today's attention is firmly on chelsea. the issue this weekend and over the many festive matches to come is just how far

football's problem extends. joe wilson, bbc news, west london. our top story this evening. no renegotiation in brussels, but theresa may says the eu will provide further clarification on her brexit deal. calls for labeling on food to show its carbon footprint. coming up on sportsday on bbc news: former england spinner ashley giles replaces andrew strauss as managing director of england men's cricket ahead of next year's ashes and home world cup. a silent walk is taking place in west london tonight to mark 18 months since the grenfell tower fire which killed 72 people in june last year. the first part of the grenfell inquiry — which looked at failures

before and during the fire itself — ended this week. but the inquiry‘s chairman has said the second phase — which will look at the wider causes of the fire — is unlikely to begin before the end of next year. our special correspondent lucy manning has been talking to two survivors about how they feel about the inquiry so far. the state palpably failed in its primary duty to protect its citizens. i don't know how that building is standing to this day. we should have all been dead. if they were evacuated, the people's lives could be saved. these two men survived grenfell with theirfamilies. both provided evidence to the inquiry. i was completely lost. the only solution i have to take is to get up. after nearly 100 days of evidence, they wait on some answers. they need to deliver. he needs to make sure to deliver the criminals, the ones that are responsible for killing people. i feel that a lot has been unearthed

and i hope they see that the corporates are under more scrutiny. the inquiry has heard a litany of safety failures. harrowing 999 calls. don't give up. where the fire brigade? jesus! they should be there. officials who didn't immediately send building plans and a list of residents to firefighters. what were you actually doing during that period? standing there. responding to phone calls. listening to people on the phone. not very much. 0ne fireman cried for those they couldn't save. to the family of the people in flat 175... i was looking for another girl. i didn't know there was anyone in there. and a fire chief who wouldn't accept they should have responded differently. i wouldn't change anything we did on the night. i think without exception my firefighters and my officers and

my control staff performed in a fantastic way. you could have changed a lot of things in that night. it could happen. she wouldn't change also the 72 people who died. she could have put her statement in a different way. perhaps they could have improvised a plan b for evacuation. the inquiry chairman will deliver an interim report next year, but the second part of this inquiry looking at wider issues is set to be delayed. personally speaking, i think that there's more people that are put at risk, because of this being delayed and the conclusion to the inquiry's not being reached. so it could be more than three years after the fire when this inquiry finally ends. a fourth person has died following the gun attack in the french city of strasbourg on tuesday. a fifth victim remains in a coma and 11 others have been wounded.

the killer, cherif chekatt, was shot dead last night after opening fire on police officers who'd tracked him down. donald trump's former personal lawyer has claimed the president ordered him to pay off two women during the 2016 presidential election, even though mr trump knew it was wrong. in an interview with abc news, michael cohen, who's facing three years in prison, said mr trump ordered the payments because he feared the stories would damage his electoral prospects. i gave loyalty to someone who truthfully does not deserve loyalty. he was trying to hide what you were doing, correct? correct. and he knew it was wrong? of course. 0ur north america editorjon sopel is in washington. michael cohen seems determined to take the president down with him. he is calling president trump a liar. yes, and you have got to put this in context, because of course michael cohen has been convicted as a liarand a michael cohen has been convicted as a liar and a fraudster and is facing

three years in prison. but giving that health warning, you have to say that health warning, you have to say that the prosecution said he has given useful information and he claims to have corroborating evidence. so he is saying when donald trump said he didn't know about the payments, that was not true and he makes the point that even knows nothing happens without donald trump knowing about it and it was for political reasons. donald trump's story about what he knew about the payment to a former porn star and about the payment to a former porn starand a about the payment to a former porn star and a former model keep changing. he denied knowledge of it. then he said he had knowledge of it. then he said he had knowledge of it. then he said it was a personal matter. then he said it maybe to do with campaign finance laws, but it is no big deal. and finally his most recent lawyer said nobody got killed, nobody got robbed, this was not a big crime. in other words, what donald trump did before the election might have been illegal, but it is no big deal. thank you. now would you change the way you eat

if you knew the impact your food was having on the environment? scientists are calling for mandatory labels that spell out food's carbon footprint. and that includes everything from meat to chocolate. they say it would help consumers to make more informed choices. danny savage has been to bury market to see what they make of the idea there. food, glorious food and at this time of year, we are stocking up. but do we think about the environmental impact of its production and getting it here? i think when you mention carbon footprint, i'm vague on that andi carbon footprint, i'm vague on that and i think a lot of people are. how often do you eat chicken? once a week. we showed john and helen the new calculator. tofu, would you eat more vegetarian food like this instead of meat? i think we probably need persuading on that. at the cheese shop, local delicacies were

in demand, details about the carbon footprint were. do you think what is the carbon footprint no. do you think your customers do? no. there is stuff from all over the world, the idea of local in season produce doesn't fly. at this time of year, i reckon the fruit is all imported. it is only the vegetables that are local and seasonal. but sue and dan think about the environmental impact and want to see labels. if it showed it was red carbon or green, then i think it would make a difference. people wouldlike. and dan and sue are typical of many people who talked too, they had like more information about the carbon footprint of their food. labels would create the information about greenhouse gases emission and biodiversity loss and consumers can change what they're buying. am

the emergency last week. in sailing terms, susie's yacht pitch poled — meaning it somersaulted forward, end over end, smashing the mast and leaving her stranded for more than two days. it took a crane from a passing freight ship to hoist her out of danger. susie, who is 29, was the youngest competitor in this golden globe race before she hit the storm, but she trained here at the uk sailing academy on the isle of wight. this afternoon we showed her friends the moment she made it back to shore in chile. wow! amazing. my god. really pleased for susie and especially her family. she's been through a real ordeal and experience and adventure over the last few weeks, so really pleased she has made it back safely. susie goodall is the

high risk of ice and freezing rain. there is an amber warning for central and northern areas for saturday into sunday. we are most concerned about this ice area from the northern midlands into scotland. this is freezing rain turning things into an ice rink on saturday into the over night period. we start saturday dry and chilly and this rain piles in and as it bumps into the cold air, it turns into freezing rain and also snow up to 10 to 20 over the hills. very wet and windy in the south—west and blizzard conditions further north as the winds sweep north through saturday into sunday. we could see gales for a time. eventually the whole thing does move north into sunday and ta kes does move north into sunday and takes the snow and ice with it. there could be a legacy of ice in northern areas. watch out for that.

to the south lighter winds and sunny spells and some showers. some will be heavy in the south west. the temperatures creeping up from the south into double figures. but some severe weather on the way with regards to the ice. stay tuned to the forecast for the weather warnings zblchl thank you. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... theresa may has insisted she's confident she can steer her brexit deal through parliament despite leaving the eu summit in brussels without the assurances she needs. i have reiterated that it is in the interests of the eu as well as the uk to get this over the line. a disorderly brexit would be good for no one. president trump's former lawyer, michael cohen, has said the president knew it was wrong to order the illegal payments of hush money to two women who alleged affairs with him. mr trump denies asking cohen
