a british yachtswoman arrives in chile after being rescued two thousand miles off shore. good evening and welcome to bbc news. 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. our political editor

laura kuenssberg has the latest. a bad omen? a bitter 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 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 anger. did you call me nebulous, she seems to say to jean—claude juncker. he grasping her arm, the microphones may be off, but you can see exactly what went on. the dutch prime minister comes along to try to make peace. later, she had not forgotten the accusation. i was crystal 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 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 council's conclusions is, infact, possible. you looked very angry when you were speaking to jean—claude juncker earlier today, what did you say to him, and did he admit 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 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 than some british mp5, 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, thatjust 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, or 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

here with a big problem. remember, she kept herjob in part this week because she promised she could get more compromise from herfellow 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 in a hostile environment at home. expectations even yesterday were of more positive promises, but bumpy late—night talks diluted those. the cold truth is the lack of trust at westminster is felt 200 miles away. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. our europe correspondent damian grammaticas has been following developments in brussels today, and earlier he told me just how unlikely it was for the prime minister to get any changes to her deal... i think the leaders were very, very clear in what they said. they said

no new negotiations that would in any way fundamentally alter the legal text that they had spent almost two years agreeing with the uk. what they might do is offer some clarifications, but, and there is a big but here, there is no ongoing process to address that, there is no negotiation, there is no upcoming planned meeting of summit of eu leaders would have to sign at all. and in fact, this summit that we have just had, they consider the questions of opening up some way of trying to address these questions that the uk has. and they decided not to proceed with that. and that was because they spent an hour talking with theresa may directly, and the interesting thing is that this is the first time in the entire brexit process that she and the 27 other leaders have sat face—to—face and discuss the things back and forth. and they asked her some very direct questions. they were asking her what she was seeking and how

that would help her get a deal through parliament. and crucially also what sort of relationship she envisaged in future for the uk, how goes it would be with the eu. would it bea goes it would be with the eu. would it be a customs union? would be something different? and they did not feel her answers were sufficiently clear. so i think their feeling was there was little point in them giving what they would view as concessions at this point for her to ta ke as concessions at this point for her to take back to parliament without any guarantee that that would secure the deal. because what they don't wa nt to the deal. because what they don't want to do is the irish prime minister made very clear, he said we can't carry out an international mino station by agreeing to think a fortnight ago, which is what they did here in brussels, and the prime minister back now two weeks later seeking concessions and how that sort of chipping away process going on. so the eu at the minute is simply saying it is now up to the uk if it wishes to put new proposals on the table it can. the the eu leaders will wait and see. joining us now from a rally held by the pro—brexit campaign group

leave means leave is our political correspondent nick eardley. we canjoin him now. tell us what the message is from this rally. particularly in mind of what we have been witnessing this week. you heard laura talk about the lack of trust in westminster for laura talk about the lack of trust in westminsterfor some laura talk about the lack of trust in westminster for some of what theresa may has been seeing recently. nowhere is that lack of trust more clear than in this room tonight. i must say, ithink trust more clear than in this room tonight. i must say, i think it is a likely —— unlikely she will be able to win over some of the people here because this is the staunchest brexiteers, the ones who are most angry about what the government has put on the table. and in many ways, it shows the ways in which party lines have become blurred on this issue. ukip leader —— former ukip

leader nigel farage, two labour mps here, brexiteers jacob rees—mogg addressing mps as well. one of the biggest challenges theresa may is going to face if she is going to persuade parliament to get behind whatever it is she gets assurance lies from the eu on the iris backstop issue is getting the dup backstop issue is getting the dup back on site. from what we have heard, the dup's brexit spokesman tonight, that is a colossal task because he is talking about this half in and half out deal as he sees it being a betrayal of democracy. very little for theresa may to take pa rt very little for theresa may to take part from what he had to say. on the labour side, the veteran brexiteers labour side, the veteran brexiteers labourmp labour side, the veteran brexiteers labour mp saying that mps are trying to do everything they can to four to the uk leaving the european union, getting stuck intojeremy corbyn for his approach and even accusing the

speaker of the house of commonsjohn bercow of aiding remainders to try to stop brexit in recent weeks. the former director of the british chamber of commerce calling the prime minister a deceitful. it is a sinai think of some of the intense anger in the brexit debate at the moment. some people would be absolutely furious that they think that what was well before in 2016 is not being honoured with what the prime minister is proposing. and it is also a sign of the colossal, huge, gargantuan task that theresa may has if she is going to do what she said on wednesday when she won that confidence vote as she wants to do, which is start to unite our party and unite parliament and ultimately unite the country behind what she's trying to do. thank you very much. from central london. the european commission has confirmed the long—term arrangements

for british visitors to the european union after brexit. they will have to sign up online and pay seven euros for a permit to travel to the eu, which is valid for three years. joining me now is simon calder, travel editor of the independent, who has spent the last three years watching developments on the new scheme. for anybody who cared to spot what the european commission has been working on since well before the eu referendum, it was likely obvious. all we have had today is a tweet from natasha, jean—claude juncker‘s press spokesman. saying yes we will certainly be signing up. but it is early in 2016 and is embarking on this with no thought at all for brexit they have to have some kind

of online system such as canada australia and any other countries are getting. how will it work? you're going to have to pay 7 euros as long as you don't get scammed, for the sites which will no doubt be set up as they are for the american interface and everybody else's visas. you need to put in all kinds of details. i'm not sure people agree with that. there are all sorts of questions about health, about your education and your employment. that is really only the first stage. i suppose the phrase would be giving that control, is what we're doing at the moment. right now you turn up with their password adding eu border point and all they can do is check that it point and all they can do is check thatitis point and all they can do is check that it is you on your passport, they have got to let you in. we will be in the position out of having applied online, having been given

permitting that it is not to enter the eu, it is to be allowed to get ona the eu, it is to be allowed to get on a plane or a boat or whatever. once you get there, they may or may not decide to let you in. of course overwhelmingly they will, but there is no certainty as it is at the moment. a bit like the american, if you want to go to the united states house and will be? it will be very similar. perhaps a little bit less onerous. i have not seen the full set of questions yet because they have not been developed. of course this is not coming into effect on the 30th of march, as soon as we have left. it will be probably for another three years if it actually ta kes another three years if it actually takes effect. even then there will bea takes effect. even then there will be a soft ones. we will consider you if they don't. crossing into the eu from outside the border? it will be very different. no fast—track for us. very different. no fast—track for us. as i mentioned, there won't be the opportunity to just say you have

got to let me in. they might ask how are you want to support yourself when you're here etc. also you're going to find that the lines will be very long and you have the validity of your passport check. it will be around for at least another three months after you plan to leave. at the moment you can turn up and it is going after the day of your passport‘s expiry. that is the blue passport, of course. thank you very much for coming in. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages. at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are joe twyman, the director of the polling organisation, deltapoll, and political correspondent from the london evening standard, kate proctor. the headlines on bbc news... theresa may insists she's confident she can still steer her brexit deal through parliament — despite leaving the eu summit in brussels without the assurances she needs. a baby has died after being attacked by two dogs

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. one 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 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 lawyer says the president directed him to pay money to two women who alleged having sexual affairs with him. in an exclusive interview with abc news' george stephanopoulos, michael cohen, who's been sentenced to three years in jail, said mr trump acted because he was very concerned the allegations would become public. he directed me to make the payments, he directed me to become involved in these matters. including the one with mcdougal, which was really between him and david pecker, and then david pecker‘s council. ijust reviewed the documents. in order to protect him. i gave loyalty to someone who truthfully does not deserve loyalty. he was trying to hide what you are doing, correct? correct. and he knew it was wrong? of course. when you think about it, when you look back... did you know what you're doing? i'm angry at myself because i knew what i was doing was wrong. i stood up before the world yesterday and accepted the responsibility for my actions.

the actions that i gave to a man who — as i also said in my elocution — i was loyal to. i should not be the only one taking responsibility for his actions. so he's still lying? yes. michael cohen speaking to abc news. temperatures are dropping, but new figures from the charity, crisis, show that homelessness is still rising — with more than 211,000 people expected to sleep rough this christmas. in the capital, the mayor, sadiq khan, has announced that emergency cold weather shelters will be open for the first time across london, if the temperature is set to drop below zero anywhere in the capital. alex bushill reports. take one bin out and then i sleep on this side here. literally... right here. and that is warm enough for me for the night. mark, which isn't his real name, has been homeless since he was released in october.

since then he's been sleeping rough. every night is is his bedtime routine — bedding down by the bins under a rubbish chute in a tower block. so i from 1am until give ortake 5am, 6am before people are going for work. because that is when some of them take rubbish out. the smell. well, it's terrible. it's not even a dog was living there. he can sleep on the night buses as he can't afford the fare. that is why he says many like him will commit crime to get a short stretch in prison over the winter and in the warmth. i'm not a prolific offender, but if it has to, you know, if it comes to me having a roof over my head for a few months, why not? winter and autumn they are inside and then spring they are out. it's how it is. what kind of offences are being committed? petty, petty.

petty offences... even if they get a six—month stretch, no problem. last night, he was one of the lucky ones to grab a bed here. it is an emergency cold—weather shelter, open by the mayor once temperatures hit zero. we welcome the rough sleeping strategy, it is a really good start in the right direction. every year someone like you tell me the same thing. that it is a good start, the government aren't doing enough. i think what we're seeing on the streets is years and years of erosion, of support services being ta ken away. our organisation does a fantastic job dealing with the emergency, getting people off the streets. were helping hundreds and hundreds of people off the streets all the time. i think the challenge is that more people keep coming onto the streets. which is why the mayor's office has said that they are doing more to help those who need it. what we came into office, there had to be a forecast of three consecutive nights of freezing temperatures before this emergency operation would open. and we came into office, sadiq khan said that was unacceptable, and he changed the policy so that now whenever it is forecast to be freezing, even for one night,

we open shelters in london. the mayor's critics say that that is very well, but failure to address the housing crisis is making a bad situation even worse. for mark, the rights and wrongs of the government policy is of cold comfort as he faces christmas on the streets. some of us are a bit unfortunate. you know, than others. and to the people at home, all i will say is merry christmas and happy new year. and just keep blessed. a british yachtswoman whose boat capsized in a storm in the south pacific two thousand miles offshore has finally set foot on dry land in chile. it's a week since she was rescued by a chinese cargo ship. susie goodall had been competing in the solo golden globe round the world race. duncan kennedy has more. this is what relief looks like when you step ashore after surviving the drama of a mid—ocean crisis. no wonder the hug from mum, brigitte,

what the latest spider—man in albany releases in the film review were about. the main story, theresa may has appeared to have a challenging game brussels, she was filmed having what she described as a robust conversation with john she described as a robust conversation withjohn clyde younger as she was told there'd be no renegotiation of the negotiation deal, she told a press conference and will be possible to get assurances and to brett to —— back or deal. i have held a series of discussions with fellow leaders on the brexit deal, i was crystal clear about the assurances need on the back stop having read the views of mps in the house of commons. i reiterated, that it is in the interest of the eu as well as the uk to get this over the line. a disorderly brexit would be good for no one. at 27 level, the eu have published a series of the conclusions. the eu made clear, that

it's their firm determination to work speedily on a future relationship or alternative arrangements which ensure no hard border by the 31st of december 2020 so that the backstop will not need to be triggered. if it is ever triggered, it would apply only temporarily and the eu would use its best endeavours to negotiate and conclude expeditiously subsequent agreement that'll replace the backstop. based on ready to embark on preparations for negotiations on the future partnership can start as soon as possible. as formal conclusions, this commitment had legal status and therefore should be welcomed. as i've always said, guaranteed way of avoiding the backstop is to have the future partnership in place by the time implementation period is over. the eu is very firmly committed to this course. but mps will require further assurances. and i discussed that

this morning with my eu partners, including the presidents and others. i note that there has been reporting that the eu is not willing to consider any further clarification. the eu is clear as i am, that if we are going to lead with a deal, this is it. but my discussions with collea g u es is it. but my discussions with colleagues today has shown that further clarification and discussion following the council conclusion is in fact impossible. there was work to do still and we will hold talks in coming days about how to obtain further assurances that the uk parliament needs in order to be able to approve the deal. again i say it is in the overwhelming interest of all our people in the eu and the uk, to get this done and as quickly as possible. in the last hour but from —— two other journalists possible. in the last hour but from —— two otherjournalists to get an idea how they're going across the eu

it's the turn of spain, italy and germany to find out more we are joined by miguel writer and journalist in madrid, sylvia, who is the correspondent in italy, and the german government reporter. welcome all of you thank you forjoining us this evening, first, how much understanding is there a month for german public of the brexit issue? well, i mean i think actually we understand it has not been changed since the brexit mode, because the debate has not been going on in the public as much as it has been going on in rain, so the overwhelming feeling is it's really a shame that britain is leaving and there is a kind of bewilderment that it has turned into so much chaos and the german public is watching the debate in britain and this is actuallyjust waiting for the result. how sorry will the spanish b2 c brindley?”

think -- will the spanish b2 c brindley?” think —— britain leads? very sorry, very prove european country to the point that even the public that we have in our country is one which is far left and the others are right, even are not eurosceptic, so yes we will feel the loss of rain, not least because more practical reasons —— britain, spain that has a very important trade relationship with the uk, there are lots of britons who live here in spain more than 3000, and lots of spaniards working in the uk, so yes, it's something thatis in the uk, so yes, it's something that is a serious concern in spain. sylvia, what is the italian of you i suppose it depends on whether you're a resident in italy or the uk.

definitely, i think the situation is very similarto definitely, i think the situation is very similar to germany and spain, however what might be different a little bit is that the italians, the people and government sympathise with theresa may and the brexit cause a bit more than other eu leaders and can't —— countries problem because rome is happy about another elephant in the room at the summits, italians are sympathetic to the fact that there is chaos in the british parliament, which we had never seen from here actually. and it's basically regular business in italy, so i think especially now, in italy, so i think especially now, in italy having a national eurosceptic government and it's crucial that this brexit deal gets through on one hand, but on the other i think it plays into the hands of the eurosceptics and the italian government because they are going to blame brussels for having forcing britain to leave them being harsh on

them. ithink britain to leave them being harsh on them. i think it's different because them. i think it's different because the sentiment and your skepticism on the sentiment and your skepticism on the rise in the country. bridget, given how lyrically difficult immigration has been —— lyrically difficult, in germany, where is the ntu sentiment and is focused in terms of political groups? it's not... we have to keep in mind germany has always felt really close to bring, and wanted to keep this relationship, so where is the anti—european sentiment focus, basically the phenomenon, in germany there is not a strong anti—european sentiment even the far right, which is the most popular and has wisdom from the issue of immigration, has not use that term, they're also taking a somewhat pro european

stance, they obviously are not in line with the reforms that they do certainly want to... do not turning against it, so you do not see the same sentiment as in other countries especially in britain, that the people and politics has turned against europe despite the issue of immigration. miguel, we must of co res m ea nt immigration. miguel, we must of cores meant to gibraltar, how likely do you think it'll be we see increased tension between madrid and london over the rock? there has been tension in the past few weeks when spain thought that the agreement to code the british position on gibraltar, but then the prime ministerspain rain to gibraltar, but then the prime minister spain rain to veto this agreement. i don't think he was determined to do that, but in any case it worked and he got assurances that he thought were sufficient. so that's another reason why the spaniards with the other 27 did not

wa nt spaniards with the other 27 did not want this agreement to be reopened because in madrid they feel that that would put gibraltar again on the table. what will happen after rain leaves, it'll depend on —— britain, the overall agreement that has to be still negotiated between the euro —— european union and britain. that is what will set the course for the future relationship between spain and gibraltar and spain and the uk. sylvia, how helpful is the uk been to italy when it comes to certain negotiations and the past within the eu, because that would give us indication of how much it really will miss the uk leaving i suppose. well, i guess the uk especially on the single market and all the banking files and

competition, has been a key player on brussels and of course italy doesn't have as much weight as germany and france, orthe uk for that matter. of course, france and germany are likely to have a lot more power and probably especially considering it's current government, this will be very helpful for the italian cause. sylvia in rome, bridget in berlin, and miguel in spain —— madrid. thank you all very much. adverts would show a woman unable to park a car or a man struggling to change a nappy are being banned next year. under a new rule data by regulators ads must not include gender stereotypes which are likely to cause harm or serious offence. this will also include any depiction of girls being less

academic than boys. the committee of advertising practise as a wants to call time on stereotypes, and hold people in society back —— that hold them back, we do speak to the co—founder of the coalition and also joining us here is olivia a campaigner for it let boys be joining us here is olivia a campaignerfor it let boys be boys, thank you forjoining us this evening. first of all how welcome are these new rules going to be?” think generally they are welcome, i think generally they are welcome, i think the most important and significant change from our point of view is that as well as clamping down further on the kind of portrayals of women particularly sexual objectification issues that are talked about a lot, it makes quite clear that they're also concerned about the other side of things which is the equally damaging portrayal of men as being useless slobs who won't help around the house or are only useful for fixing

ca rs house or are only useful for fixing cars and following a very outdated andi cars and following a very outdated and i think hackneyed and tired gender script, so it's very welcome development. it's incredible how long these stereotypes have been with us, olivia how relevant will these rules be two toys and how they're sold and marketed? we are very pleased with the results of the guidance, we are part of the consultation two years ago. we think it could've gone a little bit further, but for now, we are pleased that it's going to be... meeting that it's going to be... meeting that of girls are portrayed as being less than boys and i can be complained about. you state it would could've gone further what extent? only that at the moment it's about what's explicitly conveyed, so if it is rather that what implicitly conveyed or what might be the implicitly exclusion, we did a study of the tv adverts about toys, in 2015 and they show it's all boys or

girls and they have them playing together for example, and so there's almost implication saying that it's not for you if you're a girl or boy and we would like to see a little bit more mixing up. so actually what we think is great about the guidance it's a challenge to advertisers to just be a bit more imaginative and a bit less boring and lazy with stereotypes. how subliminal are some of these messages about what it means to be a man or woman? subliminal, i think it's really interesting that advertising is a particularly sensitive media because you can choose which films you watch and watch tv to watch and if you wa nted and watch tv to watch and if you wanted to turn on a specific show and watch a very extreme graphic and offensive portrayal gender roles that the choice you make, but advertising by large forced into your home and you don't have a

choice, and it's very interesting i think advertising to some extent it follows what society and culture will do and how we expect men and women, boys and girls to behave, but also drives that as well as i think with respect to girls than boys do, toys which we were talking about, the interesting thing that she —— that came out of the research done by the studies and other partners, is that when parents were shown an advert featuring a little girl playing with the lego, they found that it was awkward and something wrong about it. and yet, if you go back to 1970, it was quite common delay go with advertise directly to girls and no one seemed to mind then. so i think what has happened in many ways we've gone backwards in our portrayal of both boys
