this is bbc news. i'm chris rogers. the headlines at 11pm: thersa may tells mps that a vote on her brexit deal will take place in the new year, but labour say that's not soon enough, tabling a motion of no confidence in the prime minister. this house has no confidence in the prime minister due... cheering ..due to her failure to allow the house of commons to have a meaningful vote straight away. i know this is not everyone's perfect deal, it is a compromise. but if we let the perfect be the enemy of the good, then we risk leaving the eu with no deal. a 21—year—old man who murdered his estranged wife and her mother is sentenced to at least 32 years injail. challenging christmas sales online and on the high street, shares in the internet retailer asos slump amid profit warnings. also coming up: it's a christmas miracle according to a homeless project in hull. following outcry when one hotel cancelled rooms for dozens

of the city's rough sleepers over christmas, organisers say a second city hotel has come to the rescue. in football, liverpool will take on german giants bayern munich in the champions league last 16, while manchester united have been drawn against paris saint—germain. and at 11:30pm, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, former pensions minister baroness ros altmann, and broadcaster and journalist mihir bose. stay with us for that. good evening. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has tabled a motion of no confidence in the prime minister after announcing that a vote on her brexit deal would now be held in the middle ofjanuary. labour had been pushing theresa may

to bring the vote back to the commons this week. the prime minister earlier announced that parliament would resume its debate on the deal in the week of seventh january, with a vote to take place sometime in the week of january the 14th. theresa may told mps she was still talking to the eu and trying to get reassurances about the terms of the deal, specifically the so—called backstop guarantee to prevent the return of a hard border between northern ireland and the republic. however, this evening the government has said it won't allow time in the commons for the labour's no—confidence motion. here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. only if you believe in fairy tales would you assume the government's not in trouble. i know the tagline‘s tomorrow... although these were only visitors to number ten today, not here to give political advice. but after delaying judgement day on her brexit deal, theresa may has now named the day. well, at least the week. mr speaker, many members of this

house are concerned that we need to take a decision soon. am i right? we intend to return to the meaningful vote debate in the week commencing 7th of january, and hold the vote the following week. there'd been suggestions labour would call for a vote of confidence, but at quarter to four it was just criticism instead. we're left edging ever closer to the 29th of march deadline without a deal and without even an agreed plan in cabinet to get a deal. this, mr speaker, is a constitutional crisis, and the prime minister is the architect of it. the timetable has made plenty on all sides cross. bring forward the meaningful vote on her deal before the christmas recess. there is no reason to delay. let us have that meaningful vote this week. i honestly do not think that businesses and employers and our constituents will understand why this house is going on holiday for

two we e ks this house is going on holiday for two weeks when we should be having the meaningful vote this week. isn't it the reality that this is not acting in the national interest, but in her personal interest? and neither her party nor the country will forgive her for it. if she were to go to the eu now and tell them now in the face of their intransigence to get stuffed, a huge number of british people would be right behind her. after a couple of errors, you can see the prime minister slipping out on the left. she might have thought today's ha ranguing was over. i've listened very carefully to what members on all sides of the house have said... butjust before 6pm, he was up again, so she had to sit back down. i'm about to table a motion which says the following — that this house has no confidence in the prime minister. then she was off. the opposition determined to isolate her further. but for once, theresa may's many tory opponents might back her up. i am a loyal conservative, and that requires me to support the prime minister, and i'll do so enthusiastically, and this is not hedging about.

she is our leader — i will support her. we are not into playing parliamentary games on this. we understand the labour party has to do what it has to do on these things, but our main aim is to change the policy. there's trouble over the big brexit vote, though stopping ministers stretching the elastic of the government line. we need to find out where the will of parliament is, where the will of parliament is, where the will of parliament is, where the majority of mps will vote in parliament. nothing should be off the table, we should consider all options. plenty of ministers, mps and the opposition are frustrated by the delay to this vote, but stand down if you thinkjeremy corbyn‘s move is designed to topple the prime minister. it's a vote that wouldn't have that power. it could only embarrass theresa may. stopping short of what many of his own mps wa nt short of what many of his own mps want him to do, to take a real shot at collapsing the government. but u nless at collapsing the government. but

unless and until he thinks he could win such a vote, labour simply won't go that far. on the other side, u nless go that far. on the other side, unless and until she's forced to, theresa may, for her part, is not going to budge. so even though the brexit clock is running down, neither of the main party leaders show signs of making a radical move that could unblock the gridlock. the prime minister and her small band of allies are still trying to make her brexit compromise work. but on the clashing politics and all of the contradictory plans, there's plenty that still stands in her way. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. well, our political correspondent ben wright confirmed earlier it does look late tonight as if labour's no—confidence vote is now not going ahead. number 10 sources say they won't go along with what they call silly political games and the government is quite entitled to ignorejeremy corbyn‘s demand today because he

wasn't calling for a formal vote of confidence in the government. that would be the big parliamentary zou kai that could potentially collapse the government and lead to a general election, and the process for that is all set out in an act of parliament butjeremy is all set out in an act of parliament but jeremy corbyn is all set out in an act of parliament butjeremy corbyn doesn't wa nt to parliament butjeremy corbyn doesn't want to go there yet because, as laura says, he's only going to pull the trigger when he thinks he might have a chance of winning the vote. today was about piling pressure on the embattled prime minister and trying to capitalise on a political crisis that shows no sign of diminishing, as westminster staggers towards christmas. so today you saw tory mps who were supportive of the prime minister's deal stand up in the commons in credulous, they're going to have to wait another month before they can get a chance to vote on it. tomorrow the cabinet will discuss to meet to —— meant to discuss... there's also a lot of

talk in westminster of trying to find some kind of cross—party consensus for an alternative to the deal if it falls, but in this deeply fractured parliament with so little time left, it's hard to see where that will come from. a man has been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing to death his wife and her mother in a knife attack in august. 21—year—old janbaz tarin had admitted the murders. raneem oudeh was on the phone to the police when she and her mother were killed th outside the family home in solihull. sima kotecha has the story. he'd been on the run for days, but here is the moment when the killer of two was caught. police used pepper spray to control him. it was late august, and 21—year—old janbaz tarin was wanted for the murder of his wife, 22—year—old raneem oudeh, and her mother, khaola saleem, who was 49. in the early hours of a monday morning, the women were found stabbed to death

outside their home in solihull. we are a small family here in the uk, but we meant a lot to each other. to lose them is like we have lost the happiest thing ever, and it is like being in heaven with them, but now they have gone it's like we have been brought down to earth. the court heard how raneem oudeh and janbaz tarin split up after she discovered that he had a secret wife and children in afghanistan. the defendant was described as controlling and violent, and after the couple had separated, we were told that he slept in his carfor 12 nights outside her home. the court had granted an orderjust days before, forbidding tarin from going anywhere near his former partner, but this cctv shows the night of the killing. raneem walking into a shisha bar and tarin following behind. then, a row. her mother, khaola, intervened.

raneem had made a number of calls to the police that day, including from the shisha bar. but officers say they were unable to track her down. the murders happened a little while later, when the women got home. raneem was on the phone to police when she was attacked. we were trying to get to them, but what we then know is tragically, while in contact with us, the offence took place, and this was a brutal murder of two defenceless ladies by a man who had spent the day hunting them down. the independent office for police conduct is now investigating how west midlands police responded to her calls for help. today tarin showed no emotion as he was sentenced, as the victims‘ family wept in court. in a statement, they said, "the list of broken hearts goes on and on," and that he "destroyed an entire family." sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham crown court. well, earlier i spoke to katie ghose

from the women's aid organisation and asked her about the extent of the problem of violence against women from male partners or former partners. tomorrow, djourou in partnership with campaign year, a campaigner are publishing the fellow side consensus —— women's aid. 135 women were killed by men last year. some are family relationships, current or former partner, somewhere strangers all formerfamily former partner, somewhere strangers all former family members. a former partner, somewhere strangers all formerfamily members. a women of 139 women and that tells us of the scale of the genocide and what we need to do to prevent it. is this all kinds of backgrounds and all kinds of communities? —— semi— side. it is all backgrounds. it is so important we get these issues out of the shadows and into the spotlight where we can do something about them. what's the problem? is it the fa ct them. what's the problem? is it the fact some women aren't reporting it

and perhaps are too scared, they're not going to the right people, the white system isn't in place. why are so white system isn't in place. why are so many white system isn't in place. why are so many cases white system isn't in place. why are so many cases being overlooked and not investigated properly? there's all sorts of reasons. we need to see the police and other agencies giving the police and other agencies giving the right response to a victim first time round. too often we see a woman coming forward and sometimes after a relationship has ended, which the census shows relationship has ended, which the census shows can relationship has ended, which the census shows can be a dangerous time, nine in ten women killed by a current or time, nine in ten women killed by a current 01’ former time, nine in ten women killed by a current or former partner were killed after the abuse ended within the first year. women are coming forward and often they're dismissed oi’ forward and often they're dismissed or brushed off by the police and concerns aren't taken seriously. we need to change that and then we have more of a chance of preventing femicide. katie ghose speaking to me earlier. shares in a number of leading fashion chains have fallen today after the online retailer asos issued a profits warning. its shares slumped by almost 40% as it said it had been affected by heaving discounting last minute. as our business editor, simonjack, reports, high street woes now appear to be spreading online. a superstar of the online retailing

world, asos has been stealing business on the high street for over a decade, but today it found itself going for a pre—christmas knock—down price. the company announced it was being forced to offer bigger discounts than ever to keep up with the competition. shares in asos crashed 38%, dragging online rival boohoo down 14%. that affected high—street rivals with a big online presence. h&m fell 9%, and next fell 5%. so how and why are things changing now? online retailers don't always experience the same kind of problems the high—street retailers do, but what's happenied now is you have this sort of discounting contagion, where everyone is kind of doing it, and that forces everyone's competitors to do it, so everyone is stuck now in a cycle of discounting, and it's going to be hard for them to come out. shoppers today in glasgow said it's what they'd come to expect.

you want a discount, you want to leave it to the very last minute to see what you can get. and all shops are reducing everything earlier and earlier all the time now. you'll ask if you go to the shops, you'll ask, "is there a percentage off?" "i don't know." "go and ask the boss." they might say, "yeah, we'll give you 10%, 15%." horror stories from the high street have become a regularfeature of a dismal year for retailers, and make no mistake, asos is still growing sales and making money, but what we learnt today is the all—out incessant price warfare that has affected the high streets now coming home to roost for even the internet‘s most successful retailers. november, which of course includes black friday, usually sees business begin to build towards christmas. this year was the worst november in living memory, according to some industry executives. november, for us, has been bad, and if it's bad for us, it's almost certainly worse for everyone else. the uncertainty in the consumer's mind in terms of, you know, how the country's doing, is there going to be a recession,

are we going to exit the eu or not? how are we going to exit it? is the government going to survive? and there's so much uncertainty out there, that cannot be helping. black friday used to be a short window of bargains to kick off the christmas season. asos says this year it was astonished at the level of discounting, and some are saying this american import now marks the start of a long profit—margin nightmare before christmas. simon jack, bbc news. workers on zero—hour contracts, freelance or agency employees are being promised better employment rights in new proposals from the government. staff would be told details of their rights from their first day in a job, and be able to request more predictable hours. but labour and the unions say the planned reforms don't go far enough. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. it has been billed by the government as the biggest boost to rights of the workplace in a generation.

it is the result of an official review after an you cry over the insecurity of gig economyjobs and the use of zero hours contracts where workers can't be sure how much money is coming in one week to the next. so what exactly is the government delivering? among other reforms workers will get a statement when they start work setting out their rights to benefits, the government's legislating to close a loophole to ensure agency workers aren't paid less than full—time staff and all will have the request right to request guaranteed hours. many gig economy workers wanted more protection so they should be sure they would earn the minimum wage at least. some uber drivers have been challenging through the courts to get that. this man is caring for a terminally ill son, so he can't work enough hours to earn a living

and there is no paid holiday. we are really struggling financially, because if i don't work, i don't get paid. if i decided to take a holiday i don't get paid. at least if i take a holiday and i know i am getting paid for the days i am on holiday i could spend those with my son. with any business there is a risk the business is too slow to cover your cost, but with most companies that risk is born by the employer, if you're self—employed or a gig economy worker it is you that bears the risk. the government says you can ask for guaranteed hours but they don't have to say yes, what do you make of it? i thought they would bring guarantees and companies would be prosecuted if not. if not are they going to carry on doing what they want to do. employers have welcomed the reforms which steer clear of strapping employers have welcomed the reforms which steer clear of scrapping zero hours contracts.

they can work for student, semi retired people, people saving to top up their income so holding on the flexibility is really important. the government's rejected its own review suggestion that some gig economy workers be classed as dependent contractors who should have greater protection. if financial insecurity is the price of flexible working, reluctantly or willingly some will go on paying it. the headlines on bbc news: after theresa may sets a date for the vote on her brexit deal, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn tables a motion of no confidence in the prime minister. a man is jailed for a minimum of 32 years after admitting murdering his estranged wife and her mother in solihull earlier this year. concerns for online fashion retailers — asos warns of weak profits as its share price plummets. the way student loans are recorded is being changed so that they will now be classified

as public expenditure. the move will add £12 billion to public borrowing figures and could increase pressure on universitites to reduce tuition fees, as our education editor branwenjeffreys reports. when tuition fees in england went up to £9,000, students took to the streets to protest. their loans became the main support for universities. six years on, and many still worry about debt. nabila hasn't borrowed. connell is borrowing for fees and living costs. i think there are some people who are thinking about it and considering, "right, i need to plan in order to pay it off." whereas there are some people who do not think about it and are not really sure what it means to have a student loan. how many students expect to really fully pay off their loan? with the current political and economic climate as well,

jobs are not as abundant as they used to be, so it might not be the fact that they want to pay it off, it's if they can pay it off, if they're in a job that allows them to earn enough money to pay. graduates start to repay their loans when they're earning more than £25,000. those repayments over 30 years linked to how much they earn, and it's estimated that, at the end of that time, 45% of loans will still be unpaid. today's decision means those unpaid loans are going to be counted as current spending, and that will add £12 billion to the government's deficit. it is designed that a lot of the money that paid out is not actually going to come back to the government, so the announcement is painting a more realistic picture of this, so the money that the government is not going to get back is now treated as spending, and we recognise the cost of that upfront, and hopefully that leads

to better policy decisions. it could also change the future debate about tuition fees. they're under review in england. ministers are looking at whether some should be lower. universities fear this could put their funding at risk. we do feel that the burden of fees at the moment is too heavily on the shoulders of students and their families, and we do feel that student fee levels should go down, but we can't accept that the income to universities should go down, and what that means, if these go down, the government will have to do something to keep it at that level playing field. there are other questions this could raise too — why are students paying 6% interest rates, and is there a limit to how many students taxpayers will fund? branwen jeffreys, bbc news, leicester. let's take a look at some of today's other news: jaguar land rover is expected to announce cuts of up to 5,000 jobs in the new year, as part of a £2.5 billion savings plan. the company, which employs 40,000 people in the uk, has said it won't comment on rumours about how the savings will be made.

a 21—year—old man has died afterfalling during a climb on britain's highest mountain, ben nevis. he was flown by coastguard helicopter to hospital in fort william, but died from his injuries. the man's climbing partner also fell but survived, his injuries are not thought to be life threatening. 16 members of the windrush generation, who are believed to have been wrongly detained or deported, have since died. the figures were revealed in an update on the scandal over the immigration status of people who came to britain from the carribean before 1973. the home office has so far spent £6 million correcting mistakes and granted british citizenship to more than 2,800 people. tonight, there's hope for a group of homeless people in hull who had their booking to stay at a hotel over christmas suddenly cancelled. it followed allegations of theft and damage to property, while staying at a hotel last year, which a local charity strongly denies.

the hotel now says the homeless people can stay but another hotel chain has stepped in and offered accommodation free of charge, as danny savage reports. christmas last year at a hotel in hull. people here summed up the season of goodwill to all by paying for a load of rooms for the homeless to stay in on christmas eve and christmas day. it was for two nights, but it felt like a lifetime. mark was one of those who benefited. when we got into the hotel, it was a godsend. couple of nights in a bed, didn't want to get up all day, you know what i mean? because it was that special? it was that comfortable that i didn't want to get up. this year, 28 homeless people were booked into the royal, but over the weekend, the hotel cancelled the booking. they say alleged trouble at last year's event is why they've pulled out. this, for me, is about giving a bit back to the community. the man behind the effort

to pay for the rooms denies there were problems last christmas, as does the hotel he used. he's spent the day looking for alternatives. christmas is the saddest time of year for the homeless people because they get to reflect on what they've lost and the family they're missing out on. suicides are at their highest at this time of year. and if we can just prevent one suicide, it's well worth it. as we filmed at the royal hotel, two homeless men who were hoping to be part of the christmas stay emerged from a warm doorway. some people might be a bit uncomfortable sharing a hotel with a whole load of homeless people. what's the reality of it? um...| didn't think we got any bad looks from anyone. i don't think anyone looked down their noses. everybodyjust kind of took it in their stride and thought we were just normal paying customers as well, sort of thing. it's everything.

it's the best christmas present you could get, really, yeah. it's just such a relief to be off the streets, even for one night. this evening, the fundraisers announced that doubletree by hilton will accommodate the homeless group over christmas, meaning about 30 people won't be sleeping like this in a week's time. danny savage, bbc news, hull. for the first time in 52 years it hasn't cost a penny to cross either of the severn bridges as toll charges have been scrapped from today. it's thought that scrapping the toll will benefit commuters, businesses and the welsh economy by around £100 million a year. some drivers will save up to one thousand and four hundred pounds a year. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, baroness altman and mihir bose — that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. as you can imagine, will one story

dominates the front pages. now it's time for the weather with stav da naos. we will be getting a heads up into the christmas weather. in the run—up to christmas in the meantime, a series of low pressure systems from the atlantic bringing wet and windy weather. not severe and will not lead to any disruption. a fairly undulating westerly jet stream across our undulating westerly jet stream across oui’ shores, undulating westerly jet stream across our shores, pretty typical for this time of year. gales across western areas. the heavy band of rain spreading eastwards but not reaching the far south—east until after dark. the temperatures, 10— four degrees, pretty mild for this

time of year. —— 12 degrees. the next area of low pressure will bring another set of unsettled weather on wednesday. the rain in the form of showers, some heavy across southern and western areas. wintry in some areas. mild in the south. another breezy day. low pressure still with us. breezy day. low pressure still with us. on thursday, the wind is a little bit lighter across scotland. the chilly start with mist and fog around. further south, showers and breezy. a good deal of sunshine around. high single digits. we maintain this north south split with milderairto maintain this north south split with milder air to the south, something

fresher across the north with lighter winds to end the week. outbreaks of rain in england and wales. a little bit quieter further north. a couple of weather front eventually clearing into the north sea leaving something a little bit dry at the start next week. many of us, a fresh start to saturday. some sunshine around. any early showers should clear. one or two in the northern isles. many places remain drive with good sunny spells. temperatures typical for the time of year. the sunday, this weather front could bring some wet weather for a time before it clears. as we head into the start of next week, around christmas day, this area of high

pressure will settle the weather down. the wins will become lighter but we could tap into something cooler from the north which could spread down to some parts of the country. the run—up to christmas is looking unsettled with some wet and windy weather at times. things will settle down and we could see the return to overnight frost and it will feel a little bit cooler at christmas time. hello. this is bbc news, with chris rogers. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines. theresa may tells mps that a vote on her brexit deal will take place in the new year, but labour say that's not soon
