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. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. a man has been charged with the murder of 51—year—old lee pomeroy — who was stabbed on a train on friday. the prime minister urges mps to back her brexit deal or risk taking the country into "uncharted territory". i would say don't let the search for the perfect become the enemy of the good. all right.
10:31 pm
because the danger there is that we end up with no brexit at all. a long—term plan for the health service in england — setting out how the governments funding boost will be spent. 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. it's revealed footballer wayne rooney was arrested in the us last month accused of public intoxication. the striker was later released. will the favourite win? olivia colman is a frontrunner in tonight's golden globe awards getting under way in los angeles shortly. sport now, here's tulsen tollett. 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
10:32 pm
divisions below them and 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. newport 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, beaten by oldham athletic, also of league two 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.
10:33 pm
but the youth team coach was promoted to the first team over christmas — and was in the dugout at craven cottage. i seem to have been the side story, which has been great, because it took pressure off the boys. it is great stuff, it is a remarkable transformation. i have to savour it, these are these moments in life. you were going to be amongst the fans but instead you were in front of them, receiving their aclaim, i cannot imagine what that was like. i think i am the most proud man in oldham. something like that. can you believe it? no, i still can't believe it, now. what a story. 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 was watching. if this tie needed spice,
10:34 pm
how about two curries? darren currie, caretaker manager of non—league barnet, with his uncle tony, a legend who left an indelible mark on sheffield united. a nice family reunion, but surely only a cup side dish. after all, the bees weren't exactly tearing up the national league. and yet, 20 minutes in, ephron mason—clark won a penalty for barnet. what a chance now for shaquile coulthirst, who played with harry kane in spurs‘ youth ranks. the proof was in the penalty. coulthirst gives barnet the lead! now a team in the fifth division leading one chasing promotion to the first. sheffield united were lucky it didn't get worse for them. barnet missed chances to make a sensational secure. the sensational secure. surely there would be a response? the blades were strangely blunted. a club that has scored nine goals in its last three matches seemed listless, almost aimless. the locals were restless. united would get one last chance. 89 minutes, the ball fell to leon clarke. 0h, brilliant save by mark cousins. a famous victory secured by cousins, planned by a nephew, enjoyed by the whole barnet family.
10:35 pm
my uncle came on the pitch at the end of the game and said they felt we deserved it. so, pleased. can't really put it into too many words. but it's just such a wonderful occasion for everyone, i'm just proud they showed what their capabilities are, because we've got some good players at this club. for all the words written and spoken about the cups decline, these images and sounds tell of its enduring life. yes, come on! patrick geary, bbc news. let's 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 in three minutes from sub shane ferguson. while, doncaster, qpr and watford also made it through. that's all the sport for now. all the fa cup goals and reaction on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. now it's time for the papers.
10:36 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us, tomorrow. theresa may's ten—year—plan for the nhs is the is lead — it says the pm's blueprint aims to save half a million lives over the next ten years. the express carries that very headline — saying mrs may has promised an extra £20.5 billion a year by 2023. an almost identical front page on the mail, but it also reports on the chancellor warning the nhs to cut down on waste. continuing with that story, the telegraph's take is that genetic testing will be offered to all children with cancer. the picture there is of olivia colman and emma stone — who are in the running at tonight's golden globe awards. elizabeth warren is on the front of the independent — she's launched her bid to become
10:37 pm
the democrat's presidential nominee. it also reports on mps planning to block a repeat vote on the brexit deal. the guardian says theresa may is preparing to make another desperate plea to eu leaders for movement on the irish backstop, as she struggles to get her deal through. and you've probably noticed him on front pages, but wayne rooney's mugshot dominates the front of the metro, after it was revealed he was arrested and fined in washington, last month, for being drunk in public and swearing. with me are rob merrick, who's the deputy political editor at the independent, and the journalist and author, natalie haynes. thank you forjoining me. we have to start with your story. front page of the independent, one of several looking ahead to the
10:38 pm
brexit vote saying mps are going to block a repeat vote on theresa may's brexit deal. for anyone who caught the prime minister on andrew marr could have been forgiven if they wa nted could have been forgiven if they wanted to pack themselves away with the christmas decorations because nothing changed. still making the same promises about getting the assurances from the eu about the irish border and the vote will be next week and she is almost certain to lose. the one thing that did seem to lose. the one thing that did seem to be fresh, perhaps, was hinting that if she loses the vote next week, she won't give up and she will bring the vote back again and again and again and again, maybe. until she can get mps to vote for it, using the threat of a no—deal brexit, which is now 82 days away to force the commons to surrender and eventually pass the deal they so missed like. it became clear that mps believe she won't be able to do this. we looked at the parliamentary bible. the words are crystal clear.
10:39 pm
ifa bible. the words are crystal clear. if a motion is defeated in the comments by mps, the government cannot bring it back in the same form or even by a tweak form, cannot bring it back in the same form or even by a tweakform, to prevent the executive body in the legislature. this prevents theresa may's plan to get it through again and again and that appears to be the only way she can. if that is her plan, according to the parliamentary rules she won't be able to do it. the prime minister admitted if a deal is defeated as still seems likely, we are headed for uncharted territory. i am starting to wonder ifi territory. i am starting to wonder if i kiss andie macdowell we will stop living an endless repeat of her saying nothing has changed and people saying you should have a vote but you won't win and her saying if i don't win nothing good will happen and everyone saying, now what and we start the whole thing again. i would kiss the groundhog to make it stop. it seems as though we are back into the new year with a brief respite. downing street hoped that might change... remember when the abc murders were on and we wore paper hats! there was a brief respite and
10:40 pm
i'iow hats! there was a brief respite and now we're back to where we were in december which is why people were so angry when the vote was cancelled la st angry when the vote was cancelled last time because they would have thought what would have changed in gap? precisely nothing. absolutely. the prime minister's hoped that a bit of turkey and plenty of mulled wine might have softened people up to decide and convince them to support her deal doesn't seem to have worked? it definitely hasn't and that was clear from the interview this morning, she was unable to point to any progress. it's not clear that any talks have gone on in brussels over the last three weeks although her envoy has been out there. the eu is insisting it won't change this withdrawal deal it won't change this withdrawal deal it so painstakingly put together and she can ask them however many times she can ask them however many times she wants. they may well put out warm words towards the end of the week, to try to make clear to mps that the backstop, if it is introduced at the irish border, would be temporary but that will not sway mps, it's not good enough. while this impasse continues, the prospect of no deal becomes more
10:41 pm
likely, simply because at the moment, brexit is the default position. we leave on march 29 end of the prime minister can't get her deal through, what's the remaining options? boris johnson in deal through, what's the remaining options? borisjohnson in the daily telegraph as saying that no deal is in fact voters' idea of leaving the eu and we shouldn't be worried. always nice to hear borisjohnson simply making things up in order to reflect his own inner world. things that people have never been able to say in voting in a referendum, which isa binary say in voting in a referendum, which is a binary question yes or no, this is a binary question yes or no, this is what i am voting in favour because they voted against something, that is what won, no won. would you like to stay in the eu? no thanks, they voted against something, at no point did anyone vote in favour of anything, demonstrably he is making it up. as is always so special with him, he is making up the numbers because, of course, an increasing popularity is in favour of no deal at crashing out, he is not looking at the yougov
10:42 pm
polls which tell us 58% of us by then, tens of thousands of thousands of people surveyed, not 15 people that he knows, 58% of us would rather remain versus a no deal at 4296. rather remain versus a no deal at 42%. you can only say that is gaining in popularity if you are having what you are going to say would be smaller than 42%. it is quite a bit smaller than 48%, i presume he is just quite a bit smaller than 48%, i presume he isjust not wanting to do the numbers but he can. has he got a point? i will literally never think he has a point. you have simply asked the wrong person on the run day and by ronde, i mean life. boris johnson has paid £275,000 a year to produce his column for the telegraph and it has been a while since he appeared on the front page. cry me a river! it has been a while. he has done hisjob today. the river! it has been a while. he has done his job today. the voters river! it has been a while. he has done hisjob today. the voters might have thought it would have been a clear break, even if that does mean a huge amount of disruption. at that point we should remind ourselves of the reality of a no—deal brexit, according to the government but my own figures, that is a recession.
10:43 pm
according to a health expert there isa according to a health expert there is a real risk that people will die because they will not be able to get the medicine is that they need. the government has also admitted we would have to adjust our diets, because we won't be able to get all the food that we currently enjoy. if anyone can point to me where that appeared on the ballot paper in 2016, i would love to see it. of course it didn't. he is talking nonsense, he is earning money to get himself on the front page and if you believe the public supports a no deal and think that's reflect the referendum result, why doesn't he agreed to put it to the british public ina agreed to put it to the british public in a referendum to see whether they agree? many of the brexiteers would argue that some of those warnings are simply project fear at mach two. if i can come up with a constructive argument that is what i would say —— if i couldn't come up. it has worked well for them so far, that would be my plan but luckily i can still come up with a comprehensive argument. it is worth a try, give it a go. let's have a look at the guardian.
10:44 pm
a try, give it a go. let's have a look at the guardianlj a try, give it a go. let's have a look at the guardian. i sound so grumpy today. i didn't go for a run, i promise i will be nicer next time. borisjohnson will be left in no doubt he is a huge fan —— you are a huge fan. i will battle through that as well. may's plea to the eu. to give ground and rescue brexit. this is the key to it. she need something a bit more from the eu. about the fact that the backstop will not be a permanent status, that the british public will be trapped in this arrangement, she needs something from the eu to get her through this vote. i thought i would check this date when i saw the headline, monday 7th of january, tomorrow. this headman could have been written at any point over the last three months. it is a strange smash for the guardian to have that make this headline could have been. it doesn't tell us anything new. she needs the eu to give ground but the eu is not going to do that. i am not sure that it moves us forward. going back to the interview today, i thought what was most striking,
10:45 pm
aside from the issue about whether she will keep bringing back the vote, before christmas, when she was trying to save herjob and tory mps had a vote of no confidence in her, she promised that she would go back to the eu and secure legally binding guarantees that the uk can break free of the backstop. that we would either be time—limited or there would be an end date or an exit mechanism for the uk to execute. there was no mention of any of that today in her interview. instead, she is talking about trying to make it temporary and bring in forward future trade deals. she has abandoned the talk of the legally binding guarantee. because she knows the eu will not give it to her. she was talking about reassurance but it doesn't sound like the eu will give her enough. they won't. if you go to almost anywhere in mainland europe, here is the first thing that will be said to you when you reveal yourself as being british at the hotel
10:46 pm
reception. they will go, have you left yet? they are not that bothered. it is all we talk about but they are not that worried. they have european elections in may. that is what all european leaders are focusing on. they are just not that concerned about theresa may promising in the words of my erstwhile colleagues stuart lee the moon on a stick to anyone who sits still long enough. angela merkel and macron are fighting for their political lives. we are not in their top three priorities. it is upsetting for us to realise but nobody wants to realise they are trivial but it might be true. let's look at one of the other big stories in several of the newspapers. the nhs. the express — nhs mission. to save 500,000 more lives. this is the story theresa may will be hoping we are focusing on. she is making one of those occasional attempts to turn the story away from brexit. viewers will remember last year she promised a big cash injection into the nhs over the next five years,
10:47 pm
£20 billion. this is the other half of that coin, what the money will be spent on. in the months since that announcement of the cash, the nhs experts have worked out the best way to spend it. of course, the plan sounds great. there will be loads more money on maternity services, cancer prevention services, tackling cancer, etc. that sounds like every other nhs plan that there's ever been put forward. i'm sure people will be delighted that finally money is being spent on the nhs again. the government is playing catch up. there has been a cash squeeze for so many years and the report i am looking at here, may well promised patients will benefit from a world —class patients will benefit from a world—class nhs within ten years, that sounds like an awful long time away. what does she mean by a world —class away. what does she mean by a world—class service? that could mean some pretty vague descriptions. world—class means in the world, literally. we are definitely there. we are not seceding from the world,
10:48 pm
merely the eu. that should make things easier. the real problem, which you hint at, in order for those numbers to become even faintly plausible, they need to deal with the enormous shortage of staffing the enormous shortage of staffing the nhs has at the moment. they are currently short 40,000 nurses, that is the inside pages of the independent mac. that seems like an enormously high number. as soon as that money appears, perhaps some of that money appears, perhaps some of that can be spent on recruitment but lots of people will be worrying that because there aren't enough nurses recruited already, lots of money will go on more expensive agency staff and not on permanent staff, who would obviously get to know patients better and would be cheaper and all the things that we pretty much agree on. there is a big problem of lack of social care adding to the pressures. people are getting older and older people are more expensive to treat in hospitals. none of us wants to see our grandparents hospitals. none of us wants to see ourgrandparents and hospitals. none of us wants to see our grandparents and parents not looked after. it is something we
10:49 pm
ca re looked after. it is something we care about passionately. we have squared that caring with exactly how much money it will cost. social care is missing missing from the care package. it was delayed until last year and this year. that is one gap tomorrow. also there is no waiting time targets. people are waiting much longerfor time targets. people are waiting much longer for treatment, significantly longer and there doesn't seem to be an attempt to bring that back. and no plan to tackle staff shortages. they will be early cancer diagnosis by 50%, a promise, but a critical lack of radiologists and a separate plan to plug those staff gaps is yet to come forward. one of the interesting specifics on the front page of the telegraph, a gene test for every child with cancer. the idea is that it will make it much easier to give accurate diagnosis and treatment. and to get those diagnoses sometimes as soon as the same day. it will
10:50 pm
make an enormous difference. probably the idea that we are playing catch up could not be more brutally illustrated than with our success in treating cancer. we are incredibly bad at it, the telegraph tells us one in five patients not diagnosed until they are admitted to hospital at an emergency. 0ne diagnosed until they are admitted to hospital at an emergency. one for the people with cancer not knowing they have it until something so catastrophically wrong becomes present that they are in a&e. it doesn't seem very optimistic. the rates are worse than the european average for nine cancers and in some cases a decade behind countries like france and sweden. this sounds like a promising thing and i don't want to rain on everyone's parade, 20 billion a year is good but we are such a long way behind, particularly with cancer, it will take us a while to get up to the average. lets look ata to get up to the average. lets look at a few of the other papers today. in the morning. the metro is one that features a picture of wayne
10:51 pm
rooney, drunken wayne rooney held by us cops. he is still a huge figure in the uk and now the us. oh dear, it was going so well for wayne rooney since he went stateside. he isa rooney since he went stateside. he is a bit old and slow for the premiership. he has been a huge success premiership. he has been a huge su ccess over premiership. he has been a huge success over there. standard isn't as high and they loved him and he transformed the fortunes of his team, scoring loads of goals. the old demons have returned. he has been on the front of the tabloids quite a few times down the years for various misdemeanours and this is the latest one. he has only been fined $25 for being drunk and for swearing, which doesn't seem very much. he has managed to put the scandals behind him and i guess this might be the same. a fairly minor penalty but not the first time. his struggle with alcohol has got him into trouble. i simply couldn't tell you but $25 will only buy you one glass of wine at dulles airport, it
10:52 pm
is extremely expensive! he only lost out on probably won, at most two drinks with that fine, that is the best i've got for you. -- probably one or two. let's go back to the independent, the race for the white house begins. elizabeth warren likely to throw her hat into the ring to be the democratic contender. an incredible picture, i really like it. it has that look of an oil painting because they managed to get her right in front of that light. all around her is blackness and suddenly a halo effect. it is giving this renaissance vibe aside from that deep pink she is wearing, which makes the whole thing look even more quasi religious. an incredible shot. i wish they name checked it because whoever your colleague is, please say well done. i will pass that on. this is the thing about american politics we can never get our heads
10:53 pm
around in this country. you are always running for something, you have whatever it is, 150 days to do when you get into office and then you have to spend the rest of the time dealing with first midterms and then primary is and then the election. it is a constant cycle. what looks to us perhaps a little innovating is to them, it seems, encouraging? i find it exhausting but for those of us who watched the dumpster fire of the trump white house, it is exciting to see that there will perhaps soon be some light at the end of the tunnel. there will perhaps soon be some light at the end of the tunnelm is one of the big question is, who the democrats are going to choose to ta ke the democrats are going to choose to take on donald trump at the next presidential election. a long time ago, iam presidential election. a long time ago, i am sure there will be many candidates who will throw their hats into the ring before we know. what seems likely is that the democrats will swing to the left at the next election, there won't be another centrist hillary clinton style candidate, because that obviously was deemed to have gone so badly wrong last time. elizabeth warren is on the left of the party. many many
10:54 pm
people's eyes she would be much stronger as a candidate than hillary clinton to challenge trump more effectively —— make in many people's eyes. i was reading about her throwing her hat in the ring just now and she has already been asked about the dna test she took a few months ago because she talked about her native american heritage at the republican said we don't believe you, so she took a dna test. that stuff reminds you just how dirty american politics is. they are never happier than checking someone because my birth certificate. donald trump talked about her as pogo hunter is already trying to make fun of her. we can only imagine how brutal and bloodthirsty it will get over the next 18 months. just what trump will get up to if he thinks he is about to lose. let's touch on the golden globes. a great picture on the front of the daily telegraph showing 0livia cole and emma stone __ my showing 0livia cole and emma stone —— my 0livia colman amongst the
10:55 pm
contenders for the golden globes. it is just getting under way shortly in los angeles. lots of british women in the running. it is so exciting! i am sure this isn't the only time the telegraph has had a woman in her 40s in focus and a younger woman slightly blurred but it doesn't happen very often through history! conclusive pictorial proof that 0livia colman is an actual national treasure because otherwise it couldn't be found. i don't see how anyone can fail to root for her, the performance in the favourite. she is magnificent and we will see her appear in the crown next, a double national treasure status. only helen mirren have got the same double whammy, perhaps judi dench. mirren have got the same double whammy, perhaszudi dench. it is going to be an exciting night for those of us who like film and enjoy the kind of red carpet parade. we will be exhausted of it and all the frocks and nonsense by the time the oscars come but at the start of the season, we are still saying what is
10:56 pm
exciting, what will be people favour? i would give everything to mary poppins returns but i don't get all the votes. i don't know what to after that! it is the best thing in the world. film awards, i can't imaginea the world. film awards, i can't imagine a bigger turn up and i try to play as little attention as possible but if anyone has to when it should definitely be olivia colman. thank you very much. my guests rob merrick and natalie haynes will be back at 11.30pm for another look at the papers. next it's the weather, with darren bett. hello there, for some of us, the cloud was a bit thinner, today. it has been quite a quiet weekend, with light winds, but that is about to change. we look out to the atlantic, this is heading our way, this cloud. it has a curl, a hook in it, which is a tell—tale sign we have a deepening area of low pressure. that will run its way up towards the north of the uk, strengthening
10:57 pm
the winds by the time we get to tomorrow. we've still got high pressure and cloudy high across the uk for the most part. the winds will freshen overnight, especially towards the north—west. the rain will turn steadier and heavier, drier for england and wales. temperatures typically around 5—7 degrees. thinner cloud in the midlands, temperatures could be down to one or two in rural parts. any sunshine will be fleeting in the south on monday. in the south on monday. we have some wet weather to start with in scotland and northern ireland, moving southwards, becoming lighter. sunshine following into northern ireland and scotland, wet and windier in the north—west. a mild day everywhere. temperatures widely in double figures. the strength of the wind is the main story, stronger in the north, gusts of 70 miles an hour or more. the peak of the winds in northern scotland. that will bring disruption. the area of low pressure sweeps away overnight towards scandinavia. it will be windier overnight but the winds will ease on tuesday
10:58 pm
and change direction. this will be significant as we draw down more of a north—westerly wind which will bring cold air as well. it will also bring more sunshine, a lot of places will be dry on tuesday with sunny spells. showers will push into the north—east of scotland, down the north sea coast, where the winds will be strongest. temperatures will be lower, around 7 or 8 degrees. from tuesday into wednesday, we see weather coming in from the atlantic again, around this area of high pressure, it will draw in milder air. on wednesday morning, we start with a frost across the central area of the uk. some clouds still coming in from the north sea, cloud and eastern parts of england and clouding farther west as well with rain in scotland and northern ireland. wednesday, the chilliest day of the week.
