that's all from me, goodbye. opposed to her brexit deal — before a crucial vote next week. mrs may says she'll be making assurances to those opposed to the deal in the coming days — but warns of unpredictable consequences if it's rejected. we are going to be in uncharted territory. i don't think anybody can say exactly what will happen. with one of the biggest issues in the brexit debate the so—called backstop, we'll be reporting from the irish border. also tonight: a man has been charged over the murder of lee pomeroy, stabbed to death on a train last friday. a long—term plan for the health service in england — setting out how the government's funding boost will be spent. who do your make—up? who do your make-up? we went for something dramatic, do you like it?

you look like a bad joke. 0h. and the favourite is a favourite for tonight's golden globes — kicking off the awards season. good evening. the uk will be in "uncharted territory" if mps reject the deal to withdraw from the eu — the prime minister said today. theresa may was speaking as she confirmed that a vote on her deal will take place in the house of commons. with many mps still opposed to it — she said she'd have assurances in the coming days that — she hoped — would win them over. but she gave little away on what would happen if the deal is defeated. here's our political correspondent ben wright. it's time to pack up the baubles and check out the tree. and chuck out the tree. christmas brought a brexit

lull but it's now abruptly over. and the prime minister begins the new year as she ended the last, trying to find a way to persuade parliament about her 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 will 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're 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're going to be in uncharted territory. i don't think anybody can say exactly what will happen in terms of reaction we will see in parliament. i was rather 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 is currently no clear majority in this deadlocked parliament for a different course of action. i 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 into 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. for some of those opposed to the prime minister's deal, the central problem with it is the so—called backstop — a way of committing to there being no hard border in ireland — whatever the future trade arrangements. as brexit day approaches at the end of march, emma vardy reports now from the border area. a near invisible line, but it's this that's drawn the uk into political deadlock. near the border, people are used

to living life in two currencies but everyone's part of the same eu club so northern ireland and the irish republic can trade without restrictions. but that could all change after brexit and counting down the days with less than three months to go there's still no agreement on how a deal to prevent a hard border should work. they're going to push it right to the wire. these things usually do go to the wire. i just want to get something settled. not everybody‘s going to be happy. that's life. that's the way the world is. but get something that most people can accept and agree and move on. many remember the years of conflict when crossing the border meant army checkpoints and delays. it would take you an extra day. the uk and eu have made a promise to people whose livelihoods are at stake that a hard border will never return, guarantees in the brexit withdrawal deal that northern ireland may continue to follow some eu rules. and it's this so—called

irish backstop preventing theresa may getting support for her deal at westminster. well, the deal i think she has is better than a no deal. i don't know whether she's going to get a better deal or not. shared membership of the eu has helped to build peace across this divide and next week at westminster mps will once again have to grapple with the most contentious element of that brexit deal, the idea that northern ireland may have to be treated differently to the rest of the uk if this border is to remain as open as it is now. this family business has been trading since before there was a border in ireland. we traded through two world wars, we traded through everything. the irish backstop may be opposed by many brexiteer mps at westminster. but here, many northern ireland businesses are backing it in the face of warnings that leaving without a deal could cause severe disruption to trade. the northern ireland backstop, to us, is something that would prevent a situation

where we have seen terror before and we don't wish to see it again. next week, theresa may will try to give brexiteer mps more reassurances that the backstop may never be used before it's put to a vote. but facing such opposition, her strategy to press on may be a risky step. emma vardy, bbc news, newry. with mps returning to westminster tomorrow, the next two weeks will be crucial for the prime minister's hopes of getting her brexit deal approved. a debate on the deal begins on wednesday. after a previous debate last month, the prime minister cancelled the planned parliamentary vote at the 11th hour. the vote is now expected to take place next week — on either 14th or 15th january. but time is running short — the uk is scheduled to leave the eu on 29th march. our political correspondent ben wright is at westminster tonight. given all the drama in parliament

before christmas, how certain is any of this? about a month ago we confidently cantered of this? about a month ago we confidently ca ntered through of this? about a month ago we confidently cantered through a timetable for a vote that was then pulled when the government realised it was going to lose. but today theresa may insisted this vote would happen in mid—january and mps are impatient for it. a former tory cabinet minister told me today that theresa may wouldn't dare delay it again. mps come back to westminster tomorrow and in many ways nothing has changed, theresa may still insists that her deal is the only one on offer and she still refuses to talk about a plan b if it's rejected. some mps talk about seizing control of this whole process but it remains very unclear how that will happen. it is quite obvious that a vast majority of mps do not want britain to leave the eu at the end of march without a deal but if they reject what is on the table that's what will happen,

u nless table that's what will happen, unless the government goes and asks the eu to extend the whole process, oi’ the eu to extend the whole process, or revokebritain‘s application two leave the eu. the outcome of all of this matters hugely and now the government and parliament will have to make a decision. ben wright in westminster, thank you. nhs patients in england are being promised access to "world class" treatments, as part of a new long term plan as part of a new long—term plan for the health service. the prime minister says this week's publication of the plan marks an "historic" moment for the nhs, as its budget rises by an extra £20 billion a year by 2023. labour says the plan is short of the funding — and the staffing — it would need to succeed. 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. try putting mugs on your trolley. 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 my yorkshire terrier. and you do need a certain backing. you think you don't because all your life you have 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 today. 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 the judge without a social care strategy. after delays, ministers now say that's due within weeks. hugh pym, bbc news. a man has been charged with murder after the fatal stabbing on a train in surrey last friday. for the latest let's talk to our correspondent sarah campbell. what can you tell us? it was last friday and 51 yard lee pomeroy and his 14—year—old son were heading into london do spend the afternoon together. around ipm they boarded a train at guildford station and shortly afterwards, according to the police, lee pomeroy was fatally stabbed. early yesterday morning, some 17 hours after he died, darren shane pencil, who is 35, was

arrested at a flat in farnham in surrey and has been charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon. a woman, chelsey mitchell, 27, is charged with assisting an offender. both of them will appear before magistrates in staines tomorrow. sarah campbell, thank you. it's emerged that the former manchester united and england captain, wayne rooney, was arrested at dulles international airport in washington dc last month for being drunk and abusive. the 33—year old, who now plays for the american team dc united, was detained at the airport, which is close to the club's stadium, on 16th december. rooney was fined $25 and paid costs of $91. talks are taking place to try and resolve the partial shutdown of the us government over president trump's demand for funding for his border wall. he's said he doesn't think he'll have to reduce the billions he wants to build a wall along the mexican border. but democrats are refusing to approve the funding, calling the wall "immoral". 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 3 million people onto universal credit, but that number's now been reduced to just 10,000. 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, wants 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. with all the sport now, here's lizzie greenwood—hughes at the bbc sport centre. hello. thanks very much. good evening. it's been an exciting day in the third round of the fa cup. there are highlights after the news, but if you don't want to know what happened now, you need to avert your attention for a minute.

two premier league sides were knocked out by sides from three divisions below them. first, fulham were beaten by 0ldham and then, as adam wild reports, leicester were undone by newport who enjoyed one of the greatest nights in their history. a corner of south wales today is seemingly bathed in amber and gold, this is newport county, a club dreaming of silver. but not so long ago leicester city were premier league champions, only the most romantic could see them stumbling against a league 2 side but that belief was growing. commentator: it's a goalfor belief was growing. commentator: it's a goal for newport! jamal matt's head are finding its way in off the post. still a long wait ago, long time tickling on, leicester all the while edging closer. desperate defending but it wasn't anyone who could keep out rachid ghezzal‘s equaliser, it had been coming. but instead of holding on for a draw, newport pushed for more, their reward was a penalty for handball. padraig amond with the chance two make history. newport lead again! it

isa make history. newport lead again! it is a remarkable story in south wales! seeing the supporters celebrating and being out there, producing that for the players and the fans is amazing. a result that will be celebrated long into the newport night, a result that for some may never be forgotten. adam wild, bbc news. wasps ended their poor run of form with a rare home win over northampton in rugby union's premiership. leading just 17—16 at the break, wasps were able to pull clear in the second half with a controversial third try from willie le roux — only scored after northampton failed to clear their line. the game ended 27—16. india's cricketers are on the cusp of a historic first series win in australia. they have a huge lead going into the final day of the last test in sydney after bowling australia out over 300 runs short of their first innings total and then forcing them straight back into bat — something no team has done to australia in a home test for 30 years.

india only need a draw to win the series. that's it from me, but there's plenty more on the bbc sport website. back to you, mishal. lizzie, thank you very much. the film and television awards season begins in los angeles tonight with the golden globes — and this year it is the women stars who are particularly standing out. british talent being recognised include 0livia coleman and claire foy, as well as the tv series 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 19605 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. it's a costume drama that breaks with all tradition in a year of more open, varied, unconventional nominations. danjohnson, bbc news, los angeles. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. cheeses hello. this is bbc news. the two men, who were arrested

during friday night's armed raid on a house in coventry, have been released without charge pending further inquiries. meanwhile, police have confirmed that the man who was shot dead by firearms officers, was 31—year—old sean fitzgerald, who lived in the town. the incident is being investigated by the independent 0ffice for police conduct. audrey dias reports. this house on a busy residential street in coventry is increasingly becoming a shrine to the memory of sean fitzgerald. boarded up today, it's where the 31—year—old was shot by armed officers, during a raid on friday evening. friends say he was having his hair cut at the time. an investigation is under way into why the raid ended in his death. this was an intelligence—led operation but i am not in a position to elaborate on the nature of this, at this time. we are liaising with the independent office for police conduct and will be fully assisting their investigation. the independent 0ffice for police conduct have interviewed the officers involved and are now pouring over footage

from their body cams and nearby cctv. the cordon has been lifted and traffic is moving smoothly here on burnaby road this morning, but this is a community still coming to grips with what happened here on friday. as floral tributes continue to grow to the ex—soldier who had so many friends in the area. i saw the blood on the floor, so i didn't sleep yesterday, it was so scary. i was frightened to go out yesterday, but, of course, you have to do, don't you? just carry on. it's like they've watched a nasty film on the tv and they're asking you all about it, you know, but you're thinking, well, this is for real and this has happened. there were reports that mr fitzgerald was shot in the back, but investigators say, based on the evidence they've reviewed so far, there's no indication of that. a postmortem will take place tomorrow. audrey dias, bbc midlands today, coventry. a 17—month—old girl taken during a car theft has been found safe and well.

maria tudorica was taken during a taken in east london —— in east london ealier this afternoon. she was in the front passenger seat of her father's black audi a5 when he met an unknown man with a view to selling the car, but the thief jumped in and drove away. malaysia's king muhammad the fifth has unexpectedly resigned less than two years after taking the throne. it's the first time a ruling monarch has stepped down before completing the full five—year term. no reason has been given, but speculation began after photos emerged and reports suggesting he had married a former russian beauty queen. a team of scientists is searching one of the most remote regions of antarctica for the wreckage of the famous ship which carried the explorer sir ernest shackleton more than 100 years ago. the endurance sank in 1915. louise hubball reports. sir ernest shackleton made headlines around the world for one of the greatest rescues in history.

shackleton had been trying to cross antarctica via the south pole when his ship, endurance, became trapped in pack ice. the crew abandoned it and lived on the ice for a year, sheltering under three lifeboats, eating penguin meat. but the cold, starvation, and mental collapse of some meant time was running out. it was then that shackleton launched his daring rescue. this is a replica of the small boat in which he and five others sailed 800 nautical miles in some of the roughest seas in the world and then walked 22 miles on frostbitten feet to get help. amazingly, all 22 men they had left stranded were rescued alive. but the ship, endurance, was overwhelmed by the ice and was lost forever. we know pretty much where the ship sank and the reason for that is there was a master navigator who used an instrument like this, a sexton, and was able, using the sexton,

to observe the stars and sun and use it to mark exactly, more or less, where they were. incredibly, those co—ordinates are now being used by a research expedition led by cambridge's british antarctic survey to try to find the wreck. these orange torpedoes are actually unmanned mini submarines, which can search up to 100 miles away from the launch ship to gather photos and survey data. i think if this piece of wood could tell stories there would be currently, the only surviving piece of endurance rescued by her crew hangs at the scott polar research institute in cambridge. staff there are now monitoring the antarctic mission closely. what would it mean to you if they did find it? i think it would be a really emotional moment for everyone on board the ship, as well as me as a historian. it doesn't necessarily answer great historical questions. we know why it sank and where it sank, but it's really about paying homage to that survival story in the incredible expedition.

the expedition is managing expectations. if the sea ice is too powerful it may not even be able to reach the location. a testament to the fact that more than a century ago, wearing woollen jumpers, shackleton and his crew did just that and lived to tell the tale. louise hubbell, bbc news. the treasury has announced that british 0verseas territories and crown dependencies will be able to design and mint their own version of the uk's new £1 coin. the 12—sided coin was introduced in 2017 and current designs feature the northern irish shamrock, welsh leek, scottish thistle and english rose. the treasury, which oversees the royal mint, says allowing new designs would underline the close links between the uk and its territories. it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. after a slow weekend,

things are set to get windy for the start of the week. 0vernight, tonight, we will see the south—westerly winds freshening with more rain to come into scotland and northern ireland, that rain turning heavier in the north—west later on. for the most part, fairly mild, temperatures 5—7 degrees but the cloud is a bit thinner through the midlands, southern england and rural parts could be down to one or two celsius. we've got a storm brewing in the atlantic, that is why we will see the wind is picking up, especially across scotland. that local pressure approaches and drives down that weather front from the north. that's giving us the rain we have got here. as it moves its way south into northern england and north wales, it will become lighter and more patchy and we get some sunshine following into northern ireland, scotland and away from the north—west where it is still wet. parts of the uk but for all of us it should be mild. the strength of the wind is the story, strong winds for most of us, gales or severe gales for northern scotland, gusts of 70 miles an hour or more.
