awards in los angeles and coming up at half past eight — the travel show explores the significant role of nature on the people of kazakhstan. the in the last hour, police in east london say they're searching for a toddler who was inside herfather‘s car when it was stolen. she has now been found. she's a 17—month—old romanian girl by the name of maria, who lives in the local area. our correspondent sarah campbell joins me now with more details. literally in the last few minutes, good news about this twaddle.

absolutely. then metropolitan police haveissued absolutely. then metropolitan police have issued a tweaked saying delighted to report that the missing child has now been found safe and well, thanks to the media and all members of the public. incredibly good news. this is a story which broke this afternoon. her father had gone to an area, he had advertised his car online and was meeting a potential buyer. that man got into the front of the car and drove off with it and i7—month—old maria was on the front seat in her bbc two. obviously huge concern was raised when the car was found abandoned nearby with no sign of the child. that was that have passport this afternoon. clearly, the parents were incredibly worried. the metropolitan police began several appeals and

we re police began several appeals and were taking it very seriously but as i see, just in the last couple of minutes, good news, she has tha nkfully minutes, good news, she has thankfully been found safe and well. clearly a big police operation had been launched and there was a great deal of concern. do we know anything about the little girl, if she is healthy and well? literally, all we know is that tweaked in the last few minutes. the most important detail is she is safe and well. there will be concerned, there was a three—hour window with police did not know where she was, was at a good samaritan who found her and took her home and managed to in touch. perhaps those details will be released, we are waiting for more information but the main point is the i7—month—old girl is safe and well. thank you very much for bringing us up—to—date with the latest. theresa may has said the uk

will be in ‘uncharted territory‘ if her brexit deal is rejected by mps. they‘re due to begin another debate on the eu withdrawal agreement this week — and then vote on it next week. the prime minister says she‘ll be revealing in the coming days assurances that she hopes will win over those who currently plan to vote against. here‘s our political correspondent ben wright. it‘s time to pack up the baubles and chuck out the tree. christmas brought a brexit lull, that is now abruptly over. and the prime minister begins the new year as she ended the last, trying to find a way to persuade parliament to back her deal. but there‘s no sign of a new approach, only reassurances that she hopes might win over her critics. the first is measures that would be specific for northern ireland. the second is a greater role for parliament, as we take these negotiations into the next stage for our future relationship. and the third, and we are still working on this, is further assurances from the european union to address the issues that have been raised. but many tory brexiteers remain angry about the deal, as are a number of conservatives

who want a closer relationship with europe or another referendum. opposition parties are poised to vote against the deal, too. so, if it‘s defeated, what on earth happens then? then, actually, we are going to be in uncharted territory. i don‘t think anybody can say exactly what will happen in terms of the reaction we will see in parliament. well, i was hoping you could. if the prime minister has a plan b, she‘s not letting on. and theresa may didn‘t rule out asking mps to vote again. i‘ve always said that no deal was better than a bad deal. what we have on the table is a good deal. the chances of the prime minister‘s deal getting through parliament still look pretty dismal. theresa may says we would then be in uncharted territory. we would also be in a deep political crisis, with even less time to go until the uk is set to leave the eu at the end of march.

many mps believe that mrs may‘s tactic is to run down the clock, piling pressure on the house of commons to back her deal eventually or risk a damaging no—deal brexit. but as mps argue and agonise, there‘s currently no clear majority in this deadlocked parliament for a different course of action. think there is a growing groundswell in the country, and in parliament, for accepting that we are going to have to go back to the public for the final say. while polls suggest labour party members clearly want the party to commit to another referendum its leadership won‘t — yet. the reason theresa may has had such a botched set of negotiations is because of her red lines. if we, as a new, incoming labour government, were to go to europe without those red lines, we know that we could get a different, better deal. but the uk and eu insist the withdrawal agreement cannot be reworked, and a general election to break the impasse looks very unlikely. theresa may wanted the brexit deal wrapped up by christmas. instead, with time disappearing, the uncertainty grows. ben wright, bbc news. and we‘ll find out

how this story and many others — are covered in tomorrow‘s front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are rob merrick, who‘s the deputy political editor at the independent, and the journalist and author, natalie haynes. nhs patients in england are being promised access to "world class" treatments, as part of the new 10—year plan for the health service. the prime minister says the publication of the plan this week marks an "historic" moment for the health service — with the nhs budget rising by an extra £20 billion a year by 2023. labour says staff shotages and cuts to the health and social care systems in recent years will make it very hard to deliver what‘s being proposed. here‘s our health editor hugh pym. ok, so we'll go through into the kitchen. the nhs, caring in the home. that‘s what gwyneth has experienced in a scheme in somerset, which service leaders want to see extended across england as part of the new long—term plan.

she was in hospital with a heart problem, but got home quickly because local nhs and social care staff could work out her needs away from hospital, including equipment to help her cope on her own. what sort of things has it helped you with? well, confidence, for a start. the feeling that there‘s always somebody there. you see, i live on my own, apart from a yorkshire terrier. and you do need a certain backing. you think you don‘t, because all your life you‘ve been self—sufficient. but you do. the scheme, called home first, has reduced delays discharging elderly patients from hospitals. that‘s good for them and frees up beds for others. this has actually made a really big difference to enabling people to leave hospital in a more timely fashion, which is actually really important for our elderly population, because being in hospital is not necessarily the right place to be. ensuring that the sickest

are treated in hospital when they need it, but where possible people are cared for in their local communities or at home, is seen as absolutely crucial for the long—term future of the nhs as patient demand rises, with people living longer. the nhs plan for england, to be published tomorrow, will include improved maternity care and better disease detection — for example cancer. new digital technology will be promoted, including for gp appointments. along with that will be a drive to help some people tackle the causes of poor health, such as obesity, alcohol and smoking. the whole plan is about spending that money as well as possible, especially about keeping people healthy in the first place. because prevention is better than cure. the new money for the nhs in england will mean £4 billion a year more for scotland, wales and northern ireland by 2023. but labour argues the plan for england hasn‘t been properly costed.

there‘s nothing inherently wrong with those aspirations. the point is, the funding isn‘t sufficient and the staff isn‘t there. we need a staffing plan for the nhs. tomorrow‘s plan is for the nhs. many argue it will be hard tojudge without a social care strategy. after delays, ministers now say that‘s due within weeks. hugh pym, bbc news. well, we can speak now to the health writer and commentator, roy lilley, who‘s a former nhs trust chairman. who‘s i for‘mer nhs trust chairman. who‘s i for talking is trust chairman. who‘s i for talking to trust chairman. who‘s i for talking to us st chairman. who‘s i for talking to us this |airman. evening. a 10—year plan, it is a long—term strategy, we do not have all the details but an extra £23 billion, will this make a significant difference to the nhs? well, no. the plan is full of aspirations and it wants to make a lot of the services that are patchy

more universally available and better but the money is a real problem. if you think about the nhs, going back to 19118, it was 70 years old last year, in those 70 years, up to 2010 when the banking crisis came in and the public did a handbrake turn with public expenditure. the average funding was just under 4% for all those years. between 2010 and to date it has been under 2%. notwithstanding the extra money going in from the 1st of april next year, that takes us to 2.9% and then after we reach 3.4%. it is well under the historic average. it does not take into account the huge extra demand on the nhs, rising costs and so on.

demand on the nhs, rising costs and so on. while the money is welcome, it should not be per trade as being able to develop new services and make huge differences because it is just enough to keep the nhs going. doesn‘t the nhs have to learn how to be more efficient, how to do things better and streamline things to get rid of waste? there is no question. the nhs does embrace innovation. things like artificial intelligence, talking to your doctor on a mobile phone and skype just like talking to your doctor on a mobile phone and skypejust like now, all of those innovations are there. the nhs does use them but not universally. that is quite an enthusiasm for it but then again, it comes back to money because it involves extra kit and new ways of working so as much as that is a hungerfor innovation working so as much as that is a hunger for innovation and doing things differently, it does come back to costing money. on the

workforce, there are 100,000 vacancies in the nhs is right now, thatis vacancies in the nhs is right now, that is nurses, doctors and professionals doing jobs in the nhs. that is a huge chunk of people that we have to look cute to make this plan work. —— we have to recruit. following brexit we could have problems to recruit nurses from europe. we have to be self—sufficient overtime and that will cost money. over we have to deal with the initial demand, dealing with social services so it isa dealing with social services so it is a difficult time. what about the point hugh pym that made in his report that much of the concern and additional pressure on the nhs is because social services and social ca re because social services and social care is not available, especially for elderly patients who could be

looked after outside of hospital? absolutely. i think he puts his finger on the problem. social services are run by local government and have seen their budgets cut by 40%. that and have seen their budgets cut by a0%. that is a huge chunk of money which is why our hospitals are full of old and frail people who cannot get home safely because social services cannot find the care packages in time. we depend on social services and it is interesting that the department of health nurse with social services last year. by merging the two services, it was hoped the managerial lines would be a lot simpler and easier to work together but again it comes down to money because there is not the money to do it. social services are really on their knees. we will have to leave it there. thank you for talking to us. detectives in surrey were this morning given another

twelve hours to question a 35 year old man in connection with the fatal stabbing of a passenger on a train on friday. the attack on lee pomeroy — who was 51 — happened in front of his 1a year old son — shotly after boarding the train at guildford. the headlines on bbc news... a 17—month—old girl who was missing after the car she was in was stolen in east london has been found safe and well. theresa may says she is still seeking reassurances from the european union for her brexit deal, and says the commons vote will "definitely go ahead". it‘s revealed that footballer wayne rooney was arrested in the us last month accused of public intoxication. the striker was later released. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘s ben mundee. good evening. we‘re all about the fa cup, for the next few minutes

because another day of third round action has thrown up yet more shocks. two premier league teams have been knocked out by clubs from three divisions below them. we‘ll start with leicester, who lost to newport county. the league two side took the lead afterjust ten minutes, whenjamille matt headed home robbie willmott‘s cross. and they looked good for that lead for a long time. in fact, it stayed that way until the 82nd minute, when leicester looked to have salvaged the tie. rachid ghezzal smashing them level after a poor clearance. that gave the leicester fans hope. but there was more drama to come. county were given a penalty for this handball by marc albrighton and padraig amond kept his cool to slot home the spot kick, earning a 2—1win over a team 7a places above them. to another other shock at fulham then, they suffered at the hands of old ham athletic

and there was a dramatic finale, with fulham‘s aleksander mitrovic missing a late penalty. just moments later, oldham went up the other end and scored with callum lang‘s header. they are currently being managed by caretaker boss pete wild — who‘d already sorted tickets to watch the tie with mates. but the youth team coach was promoted to the first team over christmas — and was in the dugout at craven cottage. it has been great because it took pressure off the boys. it is royal of stuff, it is remarkable. what a transformation. i have to say, there are these moments in life. you were going to be amongst the fans but instead you were in front of them, receiving better claim, i cannot imagine what that was like. receiving better claim, i cannot imagine what that was likelj receiving better claim, i cannot imagine what that was like. i think iam the imagine what that was like. i think i am the most proud man in alden. can you believe it? no, i still can‘t believe it now.

no, i still can‘t believe it now. brilliant from oldham, brilliant too for barnet. relegated from the football league last may, today they went to bramall lane and beat a sheffield united side flying high in the championship. patrick gearey has this. if this tie needed spice, how about two curries. the caretaker manager with his uncle tony who left an indelible mark on sheffield united, a nice family reunion butjust a side dish. 20 minutes in, a penalty was one for barnet. what a chance. the striker played with harry kane in the youth ranks. he gives barnet the lead. now a team in the fifth division choosing one chasing promotion into the first. barnett missed chances to make the sensational secure, surely there would be a response? sheffield was

strangely blunted, they seemed listless and aimless. united would get one last chance at 89 minutes, the boll fell to leon clarke. brilliant save. a famous victory secured by cousins, planned by a nephew and enjoyed by the whole family. we felt we deserved it. i am pleased, can‘t put it into too many words but it is such a wonderful occasion for everyone. i am proudly showed their capabilities because we have got some good players. all the words written and spoken about the club‘s decline, these images show this is not true. club‘s decline, these images show this is not true. let‘s just take a look at the other results from today. phil foden scored his first goal at the etihad as premier league champions manchester city thrashed rotherham. millwall came from behind with two goals from sub shane ferguson in three minutes. while, doncaster, qpr and watford also made it through. all the reaction over

on the bbc sport website. that‘s all the sport for now. thank you very much. it‘s been revealed that england‘s record goalscorer wayne rooney was arrested in december last year in the united states — accused of public intoxication. the former manchester united player — who now plays for the american side — dc united — was taken into custody on the 16th december by the the metropolitan washington airports authority police. earlier i spoke to lizzie greenwood—hughes from the bbc sport centre — who‘s been following the story. we know that he was arrested at dulles airport in washington on the 16th of december. we know he had flown from saudi arabia, from riyadh and from his twitter feed, we know he had been watching some formula e racing, car driving. the electric car series. he was arrested at the airport for what they call public intoxication and swearing. he was then taken to

a detention centre, where he was charged with public intoxication and swearing. he was later released, asked to pay a bond, like our bail, he was then fined. he was fined on the 11th of january about $25. he was ordered to pay costs in the region of £70, but not really very much, but public intoxication was the charge. so, a minor penalty and, of course, this is not the first time that wayne rooney has landed in trouble, because of his battle with alcohol. you‘re absolutely right. he‘s currently banned from driving, in this country. he was arrested in september 2017 and found guilty of drink—driving in cheshire, near his home. he was banned for two years and made to pay a fine and also do community service. part of that, i believe, was he was supposed to do something to help with alcohol problems and somehow try and rehabilitate himself with his drinking but as i say, he has been arrested in december

the 16th in america. he plays for washington, dc united. the club have released a statement which says, "we are aware of news reports indicating that wayne rooney has been arrested. we understand the media‘s interest in this matter but it‘s a private matter which dc united will handle internally. we have no further comment on this situation". they play in the major league soccer league. they are in their off—season, the season finished at the end of october. wayne rooney has been doing very well there. he was given the player of the week, the week before the season finished. they don‘t start again until march, he has a long period of time away from football. he was here over christmas, working as a television pundit for a british broadcaster. he is still involved in both sides of the atlantic. for now, that is as much as we know about wayne rooney. the next stage of universal credit — the new system that merges six

welfare benefits into one monthly payment — is to be scaled back, amid concerns about the impact on claimants. mps were due to vote on transferring another three million people onto universal credit — but that number‘s now been reduced to just 10,000. the government says it remains committed to moving all claimants onto it by 2023. here‘s our social affairs correspondent michael buchanan. universal credit is a new service that helps ensure you‘re better off in work than you are on benefits. it is the biggest change to the benefits system in decades and it‘s leaving some people destitute. how much money do you have in your pocket just now? 0h, nothing. it replaces six benefits... claimants have sometimes waited months for money, forcing them to sell their possessions. the next thing to go will be the sofa, and i'll be sitting on the table. today, ministers acknowledged there are problems and promised to proceed more cautiously. linda macpherson, a full—time care assistant, is furious with the new system. a design problem with universal credit meant her salary was double counted in her family‘s benefits assessment last month, leaving them £400 short.

i tried to phone them a few times, but nothing. but the text messages, they still come through. you never, ever speak to anybody in person, but you will get a text message to tell you if you‘re due money or not. what kind of system is that? there are currently more than 1 million people on universal credit. the next step was to move about 3 million more claimants onto the benefit. but instead of getting mps to approve the entire transfer, the government is to seek permission to movejust 10,000 people across. only if that goes well will they seek to move everyone else. the reason why it‘s important to get this right and why we have been taking our time, why we‘ve been ensuring that we have made changes as we have been learning through this process, is because this is a much better system than the system it replaced. this is a system that encourages people into work, makes sure when they‘re in work, it pays. despite the changes, the prime minister insisted today universal credit would be fully rolled out by 2023, six and a half years behind schedule. labour, however, the entire project stopped. we have got a high incidence of people going to food banks, for example, where people have moved on to universal credit. we think it‘s unacceptable that what‘s meant to be a social security system that should be there to support people when they need it is, in fact,

causing immense hardship. ensuring universal credit works for those who will eventually move onto it has been widely welcomed by charities. but many of those currently on it will continue to struggle. michael buchanan, bbc news. talks have been taking place in effort to end a budget row that has shut down key parts of the federal government in the united states for more than two weeks. a number of meetings between white house officials and congressional leaders have failed to resolve the dispute over funding for a wall on the mexican border. north america correspondent david willis, gave us the latest on what the president had to say. today, president trump en route to camp david reiterated his threat to declare a national emergency, in order to get funds for the project, should congress fail to grant them. well, the democrats now, of course, are in control of congress, the lower house, the house of representatives, anyway, and they are flatly opposed to the border wall project, so no money from them. and, of course, it would be highly controversial, such a move, to declare a national emergency.

but president trump believes the situation there on the border is sufficiently acute that it effectively constitutes a national emergency. this is what he had to say. it's about safety. it's about security of our country. it's about stopping human trafficking. it's about stopping drugs. so, we have to have it, got to have it. we have no choice. it's not a question. you think i like doing this? i don't like doing this. but we have no choice, we have to have it. invoking a national emergency in order to effectively bypass congress for funding for a border wall would, of course, be highly controversial. there would even be those in his own party, the republicans, who would see this as an abuse of power, not to mention the legal challenges the democrats would undoubtedly pose. but president trump has effectively painted himself

into a corner with this. it was his signature campaign issue, and when he sought to back off on it, slightly, some weeks ago, there was an outcry from those on the right, who said he was caving. he can‘t afford to do that again, clearly. the film and television awards season begins in los angeles tonight with the golden globes. this year, women are being recognised in large numbers — hopefully signalling a shift in traditionally male—dominated hollywood. among them is much british talent — — include olivia coleman and claire foy — as well as tv series such as killing eve and the bodyguard. dan johnson reports. the golden globes are being watched for signs that change will last, that actors, directors and stories of all kinds will be recognised. tv psychopath thriller killing eve is nominated twice after the bbc show did well on both sides of the atlantic. it has been incredible,

i‘ve never had this kind of reaction to a show before so it‘s been amazing. bbc hit bodyguard, the year‘s biggest tv drama, also has two nominations. what you think the key was to so much success? i‘ve no idea. i mean, if i did know, i‘d recreate it in everyjob i did. i can handle the more mundane jobs. in the film categories, vice heads the list after christian bale‘s full—body transformation into former vice—president dick cheney. hey. what? ijust wanted to take another look at you. also tipped is a star is born, a tale of finding fame and feeling its cost that‘s earned both lady gaga and bradley cooper nominations. rosamund pike‘s up for best actress for playing marie colvin, the journalist killed in syria. everyone‘s looking for female driven stories, that is changing. it‘s genuine? yeah, and i‘ve seen, you know, more than one script has come my way

saying this character is written as a man, but could become a woman. you only win when you maintain your dignity. green book, an account of 1960s segregation, is nominated five times. and marvel superhero film black panther is up for three awards. you look like a badger. then there‘s the favourite, the court of queen anne, captured in outrageous style. it was like hanging out with your good pals every day and getting to make something so special and unique, and funny, and filthy. it was a proper treat, though. you know, something you would do for free. don‘t, my agent has a panic any time we say things like that. a costume drama that breaks with all tradition in a year of more open, varied, unconventional nominations. danjohnson, bbc news, los angeles. now it‘s time for a look

at the weather with darren bett.
