after two weeks of talks and two years of work, consensus was finally reached tonight, on international rules to tackle climate change. nearly 200 countries overcame political divisions, to support the implementation of the 2015 paris agreement. that aimed to limit a rise in average global temperatures to "well below" two degrees celsius, above pre—industrial levels. here's our science editor, david shukman. this is what it's all about. gases released into the air that heat the planet. and after some long, difficult arguments, the world has inched towards a deal for how to reduce them. to try to avoid the risks

of dangerous levels of warming in future. the talks at katowice in poland saw delegates from nearly 200 countries haggling over rules for how to tackle climate change. a slow process, but eventually a deal was done. the polish official chairing the talks was incredibly relieved. he was urged to take a bow. but there are questions about what has actually been achieved. the big challenge is that many countries, including poland, rely on highly polluting fuels like coal. thousands ofjobs depend on them. some campaigners say a few governments drag their feet. but others are pleased to have got this far. we have seen countries come together. they have responded to the science. they haven't done enough but they have done what's possible here. they have lent in, they have agreed some rules and they have set themselves a job to go home and do more and work out what they're going to do — engaging with their citizens, their businesses, their investors,

to say, how can we take more climate action? the hope is for a transition to cleaner forms of energy, like solar power. the deal in poland may encourage that. the world is responding to the threat of global warming but not nearly with the speed that scientists say is needed. and a little earlier, david explained what would happen next, now the countries has come forward with this agreement. when the dust settles, we will see one very significant thing, which is that for the first time, the countries of the world have a rule book, a common set of guidelines for how to cut their greenhouse gases. how to declare them, how to verify them, that is a key point, to check that what countries promised to do there will actually do. the chinese worried about it being too intrusive but britain and other countries wa nted but britain and other countries wanted something robust topic that has been agreed, some more technical, but very public hated and

important issues have been put in touch to make this deal possible. i guess the really key thing in the coming years the test of this, is that too we see in house gas emissions fall, over the 25 years or so emissions fall, over the 25 years or so of this process they have got up dramatically. what matters, according to climate scientist, is to get to a turning point to see those gases falling as rapidly as possible. the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, has appealed to mps across the political divide to "forge a consensus" over brexit, acknowledging that the prime minister's deal for leaving the european union, might not be approved by parliament. her comments follow another difficult eu summit for theresa may, in which she failed to win concessions, that might have made her withdrawal deal acceptable to mps. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. parliament stares at gridlock. cobbling together a majority to endorse anything looks incredibly difficult, and downing street has studiously avoided any public discussion of a plan b, what happens if, when, the prime minister's plan is rejected.

but writing in the daily mail, amber rudd says that brexit is in danger of getting stuck, and while supporting theresa may's deal, advocates assembling a coalition, potentially reaching out to opposition parties, to avoid what she calls the rocks of no deal. amber rudd proposes in her article a series of commons votes to test support for a range of possible outcomes but one conservative brexiteer mp told me you had to be on a mood altering substance to believe persuading labour mps was a viable way forward. and even within theresa may's cabinet there's differing views about what plan b should or should not look like. and others are making the case for plan a still, albeit plan a with tweaks not yet secured. it's very tempting after a week like we've had, which has

not been a good week, to try and reach for other radical solutions. i still think if you look at all of this, when the dust is settled, the only way that we're going to get through the house of commons and to give the british people the brexit that they voted for, is to have a version of the deal that the government has negotiated. 0ne former minister who resigned last month to call for another referendum says the government should get a move on and let mps have their say. i've got absolutely no doubt that if the vote is deferred again when we come back on monday, that very serious conversations will be had by members of the cabinet and members of parliament asking, well, what is the strategy? it's simply unacceptable to run out the clock and face the country with the prospect of being timed out. the country has arrived at a moment of extraordinary jeopardy, with no—one in sole control of events and no—one who knows precisely what will happen next. chris mason, bbc news.

there've been scuffles in paris, between police and so called ‘yellow vest‘ protestors, during a fifth weekend of anti—government demonstrations across france. however the number of people taking part is said to be significantly lower than before. president macron announced a series of concessions earlier this week, to try to defuse the crisis. lucy williamson reports from paris. the tactics were the same as always but the tension here has waned. the number of protesters in paris today less than half of that of last weekend. there are far fewer people gathering here in paris today but there are still a few confrontations between protesters and police, like here on the champs—elysees. i think the security forces will be hoping this is the last final stand of the hard—core.

this was a test of whether president macron‘s concessions this week have worked. ten billion euros to help those on the lowest incomes. not enough for some. translation: the president is offering us peanuts. we are not monkeys he can throw nuts at. we're human beings. the violence of previous demonstrations in paris along with the government's concessions and the impact of a terrorist attack in strasbourg this week have all helped dissuade protesters. but protest sites around the country are settling in for christmas and it is notjust the troublemakers left behind. at la ciotat tollgate 45 minutes outside marseille, the demands are no longerjust economic — they are also about democracy and access to power. translation: we want a second french revolution. we are going to show all of europe that the people do have power. president macron says long—term solutions to this crisis lie at the local level and that he wants to meet mayors, region by region, to hear their concerns.

translation: president macron has ignored us from the moment he came to power. and now all of a sudden he wants us to come to his rescue. can i be honest with you? the idea of a national consultation is absolute rubbish. everything will carry onjust like before. the clashes here seem to be losing some momentum, but the frustration that sparked them hasn't been resolved. there's a part of france that feels precarious and invisible. for the past few weeks it was visible to all. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. an investigation is under way after a 33—year—old woman and her 8 year old daughter died in a fire at their home in nottinghamshire. a five—year—old boy and 34—year—old man remain in hospital with serious injuries. police say the emergency services were called to the property near newark, at around 7am this morning. five people, thought to be from the same family, were in the house at the time. staff at chester zoo say it

may take some time to account for all of the creatures being housed in a building partially destroyed by fire. the blaze broke out this morning in the monsoon forest habitat, the largest indoor zoological building in britain. emergency teams were unable to stop most of the building's roof from being destroyed. one person was treated for breathing difficulties. tolls on the two main bridges crossing the river severn into south wales, will be scrapped from next week. drivers have been charged for more than fifty years. the welsh government says removing tolls will boost the economy by around £100m a year, but critics say there'll be more traffic congestion. sian lloyd's report contains some flashing images. crossing the river severn into south wales has until now always come at a price. some 25 millionjourneys a year are made. lorry driver craig evans makes more than most. for 17 years, he's been delivering

goods from wales across the border. this could be halfway over the bridge, and you're losing time, your driving time, you're late getting the goods delivered. it's just horrific. his firm makes 31,000 crossings every year. until recently, lorries were charged £20 a time. it's good for my company. they've got more money in to invest, which will create more jobs, but the side that i'm not looking forward to is the traffic which is going to come into wales, and from my point of view, it's going to cause more congestion. to commemorate the first crossing of the severn bridge, i have great pleasure in unveiling this plaque. in 1966, the completion of the first bridge across the severn caused huge excitement, but the volume of traffic multiplied, and 30 years later, the prince of wales opened a second severn crossing. when this bridge returned

to public ownership, the uk government announced that the tolls would go. around 100 staff are affected. among them is darren moore, who said he is sad to be losing hisjob but does have fond memories of his time in the toll booths. you'd get people turning up and going, is this the way to exeter? is this the way to scotland? because they've taken a wrong turning, and then you have to break the news that they're actually just about to enter wales. work is now under way to remove the barriers. the aim is to save drivers money and encourage more investment in the south wales economy, but it's predicted that scrapping the tolls will increase traffic on what is already a congested stretch of the motorway. sian lloyd, bbc news, on the m4. more changes are to come in the trump administration as the president has announced, via twitter, that his interior secretary, ryan zinke, will leave his post at the end of the year. ryan zinke has been facing a number of ethics investigations. danjohnson has the latest from washington. it had become apparent

there were signals in the last few weeks that perhaps the president's support for ryan zinke was running out and he has taken the opportunity now to announce that he will go at the end of the year. he was dogged by a number of investigations into potential conflicts of interest, some of the deals that he had overseen in his office and some of his travel expenses. he had been letting his wife use government cars and he chartered a plane at the cost of $12,000 of the taxpayers, just to make sure he got to a hockey game on time. he has denied any wrongdoing, but he has now announced that he will become the latest figure to leave this white house, to leave the trump team. there've been so many high level departures over the past two years in the president is still looking for a permanent replacement to the chief of staff, it was announced last night that the budget director mick mulvaney will stand in, will act up in the interim, but that we do not know how long that will before but there is still a permanent

replacement to be found there. so more roles that trump has to fill, there are some signs that he's having difficulty getting the people he wants to do some of these important jobs. australia's prime minister has announced that his government now recognises west jerusalem as the capital of israel. scott morrison said australia also recognised the palestinian aspirations for a state capital in eastjersualem, and that the australian embassy will not move from tel aviv until there's a final peace accord. the status ofjerusalem is one of the most contested issues between israel and the palestinians. a boat carrying suspected migrants has been picked up off the coast of dover by the border force. in the last three months, more than 100 migrants are known to have attempted crossing the english channel, the world's busiest shipping lane. the headlines on bbc news: nearly 200 nations have agreed rules on implementing the 2015 paris agreement —

the agreement aims to deliver the goal of limiting global temperature rises to well below 2 degress celcius. the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, says it's time to build a cross—party consensus on brexit, as the church of england calls for national reconciliation. an investigation is under way after a woman and her 8—year—old daughter died in a house fire, in nottinghamshire. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's jeanette. hello there. let's start with football because manchester city are back on top of the premier league until tomorrow evening at least. they beat everton 3—1 at the etihad stadium with gabrieljesus scoring the their first two goals. everton got one back but raheem sterling sealed the victory for city, a week after he suffered alleged racist abuse at chelsea. the question is to be consistent, to

draw points. the one again. after the champions league we had less than three days so it is complicated and the people responded in a marvellous play. tottenham stayed in touch of the top two after sneaking a late win, against burnley. christien eriksen scored the only goal in injury time at wembley. the substitute finally finding the breakthrough after it looked like burnley were going to hold on for a draw. fulham are still firmly rooted to the bottom of the table. they lost again, this time 2—0 to the in—form west ham in the late kick off. robert snodgrass with the first, before michail antonio found himself one on one with the fulham goalkeeper sergio rico. fulham remain in search of a first clean sheet of the season. so a quick look at all of today's results... crystal palace had a rare victory without wilfried zaha, beating leicester 1—0. watford held off a late cardiff comeback to win 3—2.

wolves beat bournmeouth 2—0 to climb above them into seventh. kilmarnock are back at the top of the scottish premiership after beating dundee. greg stewart scored their third goal in the 3—1victory at rugby park. in the day's other games, there were wins for motherwell and aberdeen. celtic and rangers play tomorrow. onto rugby union and saracens maintained their 100% record in this year's european champions cup, beating cardiff 26—14 and ending the welsh team's hopes of reaching the knock out stages. confirmation now of todays scores: owen farrell kicked 16 of saracens points. glasgow could still make the last 8 — they're second in the pool after a 21—10 bonus point win over lyon. wasps though are out. they went down 112—27 to unbeaten toulouse. in the same pool bath's hopes of progressing were ended by defeat to leinster. elsewhere castres just edged out munster.

mark allen will play shaun murphy later today in the final of snooker‘s scottish open, but allen has admitted he felt hungover during his semi—final win over daniel wells. allen wasn't at his best for the start of this match yesterday morning. these missed pots saw him go 4—0 down in the best of 11 frame match, but he did recover after the mid—session interval to win 6—5. it's the final day of the track cycling world cup in london. britain's men won the silver medal in the madison 30 kilometer finals, as the youthful team of fred wright and matt walls took 10 points from the final sprint for great britain, finishing with 30 points overall, in second—place behind denmark, who finished with 46. in boxing, britain's rocky fielding will defend his wba world super middleweight title against saul canelo alvarez in the early hours of sunday morning at madison square garden. the liverpudlian will face the highest—paid fighter in boxing,

in an attempt to upset the odds, as alvarez, who has been defeated just once in 53 bouts, starts as the firm favourite in new york. but 31—year old fielding says he is relishing the challenge. i was here three years ago, sitting at the top there, watching again, dreaming of one day to fight here. that is what champions do, they win and ifand that is what champions do, they win and if and where they need to defend. this is a great opportunity andi defend. this is a great opportunity and i am happy to be here and i grateful. thank you to your support, see you on saturday. that's all the sport for now. now the winner of strictly come dancing has been decided this evening, so tune away if you're planning to catch up later. big spoiler alert. this year the glitter ball trophy

went to bbc documentary presenter stacey dooley and her professional partner kevin clifton. here's a little look at how the evening went (music playing).

the votes have been counted and independently verified and i can reveal the strictly come dancing champions are... stacey dooley and kevin clifton! cheering and

applause.. kevin clifton! cheering and applause. . a kevin clifton! cheering and applause.. a lovely flavour of these being's entertainment. entertainment journalist emma bullimore explained to me why stacey was such a popular winner. she had the classic strictly come dancing journey. she blossomed, she became better, she had a lovely time and a lot of people happy she won this evening. although it is a dance competition it is in a dance competition. exactly. ashley was the best dancer but she was in the bottom three and we knew she could not win. they both got perfect scores but they knew they were not going to win but it was someone like stacey, who embraced the journey,

she got better and better, blossomed into this competition. four times in the final before tonight, a chance for cefn to also win. a lot of mention that it was his time, that he got to hold that trophy aloft. what has been the highlight? do you think it was a classic series. at the start of the series there was people saying it was an enough of a lineup but it does not matter, that four, thejudges, it is such lineup but it does not matter, that four, the judges, it is such a special show, away from any politics 01’ special show, away from any politics orany special show, away from any politics 01’ any nonsense special show, away from any politics or any nonsense like that so it was a great series. lots of highlights, dances, and a choice category was bought in. it was still classic

strictly and i thought it was a great series. whether in a moment and then a second look the papers. with the sun's chief sports reporter, martin lipton, and playwright and broadcaster, bonnie greer, that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes the weather had been dominated by storm de tree. others have seen a rare but dangerous falls of freezing rain which instantly turns to ice on any surface it touches. were seen some across northern england and southern scotland. this was the scene earlier. a bit further north also ice and casing this windscreen. underfoot and under tight, very dangerous stuff. what storm de tree

is about is a transition. we will see a significant jump is about is a transition. we will see a significantjump in temperatures. —— deidree. a bright enough start to the day. further west cloud gathering and more wet weather particularly for wales, and western areas of england. that could cause flooding issues. looking at the temperatures, between six and 10 degrees and it will be a much milder day. wet weather pushing slowly eastwards and is that begins to clear out, we start to see a ridge we begin across wales, south—east england with patches of frost and maybe fog around. the next weather system racing into the north—west of the uk bringing in more wet and windy weather. quite start to the day for england and wales with some fog and patches of frost. in the
