this is bbc news. i'm carol walker. the headlines at 11pm: 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. because the danger there, the good. because the danger there, the danger there is to end up with no breaks at all. a long—term plan for the health service in england, setting out how the government's funding boost will be spent. a man has been charged with the murder of 51—year—old lee pomeroy, who was stabbed on a train on friday. 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. who did your make up? we went up

with something dramatic. do you like it? no, it was a bad joke. 0h. and the favourite is a favourite for tonight's golden globes, kicking off the awards season. and at 11:30pm, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers rob merrick, deputy political editor at the independent, and the journalist and author, natalie haynes. stay with us for that. 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 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. 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 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. 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. and the invisible line, but it is this that has drawn the uk into political deadlock —— a near invisible line. near the border, people are used to living life in two currencies, but everyone is part of the same eu club. so northern ireland and the irish republic and trade without restrictions. but that could all change after brexit. and counting down the days with less than three months to go, there is still no agreement on how ideal to prevent a high border should work. —— hardboard. they are going to push it right to the wire and these things usually do go right to the wire. that's life, that is how the world is. get something most people can accept and agree and move on. many remember the years of conflict

when crossing the border meant army checkpoint and delays. taking an extra day. the uk and eu have made a promised to people whose livelihoods are at stake that a hard border will never return. guarantees in the brexit withdrawal deal that northern ireland will continue to follow some eu rules. and it is 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 build peace across this divide. next week at westminster, mps will once again have to grapple with the most contentious element of that brexit deal, the chykie that northern ireland may have to be treated differently to the rest of the uk is this water is to remain as open as it is now. —— idea. this family business has been trading since

before there was a border in ireland. we have traded through to that world wars, we have traded everything. the irish backstop may be opposed by many brexit ie mps at westminster, but here many northern ireland businesses are backing it —— brexiteer. 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 karro before and we don't wish to see it again. next theresa may will try to give brexiteer mps more reassurances that the backstop may never be used, before it is put to a vote. but facing such opposition, her strategy to push on may be a risky step. 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 the 14th or 15th of january. but time is running short. the uk is scheduled to leave the eu on the 29th of march. our political corresponent ben wright is at westminster and gave us this update. about a month ago we confidently ca ntered through a 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 that this vote would happen in mid—january. and mps are certainly impatient for it. one former tory cabinet minister told me today that theresa may wouldn't dare to lay it again. so mps come back to westminster tomorrow, and in many ways nothing has changed. to reason they still insist that her deal is they still insist that her deal is the only one on offer, and she still refuses to talk about a plan b if it is rejected. some mps still talk about seizing control of this whole

process , about seizing control of this whole process, but it remains very unclear how that's going to 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 is what will happen. u nless the table, that is what will happen. unless the government goes and asked the eu to extend this whole process, oi’ the eu to extend this whole process, or revoked britain's application to leave the eu at all. now, over christmas, i am sure many people love the fact that brexit sort of disappeared a bit, but the outcome of all of this matters hugely. and now the government and parliament are going to have to make a decision. ben wright at westminster. nhs patients in england are being promised access to world class treatments, 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. we can try putting your mug on the 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 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. a man has been charged with murder after the fatal stabbing on a train in surrey last friday. lee pomeroy, who would have turned 52 the day after his death, had been on his way into london with his 14—year—old son to spend some quality time together before being stabbed to death. our correspondent sarah campbell is here.

just to bring us up—to—date with the details on this. well, indeed, as you say, this relates back to an incident that happened on friday, fourth january, around 1pm in the afternoon, 51—year—old lee pomeroy and his 14—year—old son boarded a train in guildford and shortly afterwards according to the police mr pomeroy was fatally stabbed. now early yesterday morning, some 17 hours after he died, darren shane pencil, who is 35, was arrested at a flat in fun in surrey. he has now been charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon. a woman, chelsea mitchell, who is 27, has been charged with assisting an offender. both of them had been remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates in staines tomorrow. now, yesterday, on what would have been mr pomeroy‘s 52nd birthday, his family released a

statement saying he was a devoted family man and an honest and bright person and died in an horrific and pointless attack. sarah campbell, many thanks for joining pointless attack. sarah campbell, many thanks forjoining us. 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 the 16th of december. rooney was fined $25 and paid costs of $91. he has said the arrest came when he was left disorientated by prescribed sleeping tablets he took on a flight while drinking. 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. now, the headlines on bbc news:

theresa may says she's still seeking reassurances from the european union for her brexit deal, and says the commons vote will "definitely go ahead". a long term plan for the health service in england. the government is to set out how the funding boost will be spent. a 35—year—old man has been charged with the murder of lee pomeroy, who was fatally stabbed on a train on friday. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sports centre, here's tulsen tollett. hello tulsen. hello, everyone. the fa cup today threw up a few more shocks, with premier league fulham beaten

by league two outfit, 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're 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. i seem to be the side story, which is great because and took the pressure off the boys. it is a remarkable transformation but one i am going to savour and i have got to remember you have got to say that these moments in livestock white you are going to be in amongst those fa ns are going to be in amongst those fans who were cheering on oldham today, instead you were receiving their acclaim. i can't even imagine what that must have been like. i am the most proud man in oldham. can you believe it? no, no, i still can't. so oldham through at the expense of leicester. next up, another league two side toppling premier league opposition, as newport county beat fulham on one of the best nights in their history.

adam wild reports. a corner of south wales today seemingly bathed in amber and gold. newport county, a cloud dreaming of silver. but not so long ago, leicester city were premier league champions, only the most romantic could see them stumbling against the league two side that belief is growing. it is a newport! this header finding growing. it is a newport! this headerfinding its way growing. it is a newport! this header finding its way in off the post. still, a long way to go, a long time to cling on. leicester all the while edging closer. desperate defending. there was not anyone who could keep out the equaliser, it had been coming. but instead of holding on for a draw, newport push for more. the reward was a penalty for handball. a chance to make history. newport lead again! it is a remarkable story in south wales. seeing all the supporters there

celebrating in being able to produce that from the players and give that to the fans, that is amazing. result that will be celebrated long into the newport night. result that fought some may never be forgotten. —— a result that for some. national league barnet are the only non—league side left in the competition after they beat championship sheffield united at bramall lane. the former tottenham academy player shaquille coulthirst scored a first half penalty, and that was enough to send barnet through against a side challenging for promotion to the premier league. barnet sit 84 league places below the blades. 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. the women's super league is back after the winter break, and arsenal have opened up a gap at the top after returning to winning ways. they came from a goal down to beat west ham 4—2. this headerfrom england's leah

williamson put them 2—1 up. the hammers then equalised. but dutch striker danielle van de donk then scored twice in the second half. and they're now two points ahead of manchester city, after they drew at bristol city. elsewhere today, victories for birmingham, brighton and chelsea. away from football, and in rugby union's premiership, wasps won for only the second time in 11! matches as they beat northampton saints 27—16. with the help of this juan de johng try. there was also a messy try in the second half from willie le roux. a big win for wasps, who move up to sixth with just 8 points separating 3rd and 10th place. that's all the sport for now. a 17—month—old girl taken during a car theft has been found

safe and well. maria tudorica was taken with her father's car in east london earlier this afternoon. she was in the front passenger seat of his black audi a5 when he met an unknown man with a view to selling the car, but the thief jumped in and drove away. the car was found abandoned this evening, and she was found a little later, several streets away. 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. so how much money do you have in your pocketjust now? oh, nothing. it replaces six benefits... claimants have sometimes

waited months for money, forcing them to sell their possessions. the next thing to go's going to 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'll get a text message to tell you if you're due money or you're not. what kind of system's that? there are currently more than 1 million people on universal credit. the next step was to move around 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've been taking our time, why we've been ensuring that we have made changes as we've 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've got a high incidence of people going to food banks, for example, where people have moved onto 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'll 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. the two men who were arrested

during an armed raid on a house in coventry on friday have been released without charge pending further inquiries. police have confirmed that the man who was shot dead by firearms officers was 31—year—old sean fitzgerald, who lived in the city. the incident is being investigated by the independent office for police conduct. audrey dias reports. this house on a busy residential street in coventry is quickly 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 underway into why the raid ended in his death. this was an intelligence—led operation. i'm 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 office for police conduct have interviewed the officers involved and are now poring over footage from their bodycams and nearby cctv. the cordon has been lifted and traffic is moving here on the street. 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. so i saw the blood on the floor, so i didn't sleep yesterday, i was scared. i was frightened to go out yesterday. butjust carry on. like they watched a nasty film on the tv and they're asking you about it, but you're thinking, this is for real and this 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 is no indication of that. a postmortem will take place tomorrow. just some breaking news on the

unfolding brexit drama. more than 200 mp5 unfolding brexit drama. more than 200 mps have signed a letter calling for theresa may to rule out an ideal brexit. the prime minister has invited the organisers, who include the conservative former minister dame caroline spelman, the downing street to discuss their concerns. caroline one of those behind that move and she has been talking to radio for‘s the westminster power. and more to come on that exit drama. —— hour. —— brexit. 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 olivia 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's 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 do 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? i just wanted to take another look at you. also tipped is a star is born, a tale of finding fame and feeling its costs, 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, and that is changing. you know... 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'd 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. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, rob merrick, who's the deputy political editor at the independent, and the journalist and author, natalie haynes. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. this quiet, settled weather we've had all year looks like coming to an end now. pressure is falling and we had this deepening area of low pressure running to the north of scotland and that is starting to pick the winds up in the north as well. further south, high pressure is still being on, a few holes in the cloud so chilly start the staff. some fleeting sunshine. rain is moving across scotland, northern ireland, into northern england and wales, becoming lighter and more patchy. some sunshine

coming in behind. when weather returns to the north and north of scotla nd returns to the north and north of scotland and the wet winds are continuing to howl. it should be a mild day everywhere, temperatures widely 11 or 12. particularly windy as you head further north, northern scotla nd as you head further north, northern scotland having gus and 70 miles an hour or more on back of the don atchison travel disruption. the peak of the winds comes around the back of the winds comes around the back of that area of low pressure. it stays very windy into the evening. and then below steams down toward southern parts of scandinavia, takes the worst of the winds away with it and then the winds will be lighter by the time we to choose date. they will change directions we are back toa will change directions we are back to a northern north—westerly, that means it is turning colder but they will be more sunshine around on tuesday. most places will be dry with an sunny spells, a few showers coming to north—east scotland down those north sea coats, where it will be windy for a while. touching frost early in the day. single figures for most parts of the country and getting colder still overnight, where we have a slice of clearer

skies across the spine of the uk. we have got more car continuing into wednesday the eastern england, northerly winds, one or two light showers near the coast. the west, this gradual encroachment of atla ntic this gradual encroachment of atlantic avenue. more cloud, thickening clouds and some rain for northern ireland, later western scotland. ahead of that, temperatures struggling to four or five, will be the coldest day of the week ahead. a touch of frost to the midlands on thursday. we had this low push of milder, cloudier air coming in from the north—west and that means the temperatures should be rising noticeably so in scotland and northern ireland, nine and 10 degrees. that milder air coming round, another area of high pressure thatis round, another area of high pressure that is becoming established. cloudier skies coming in from the atlantic. temperatures on the rise and most places, again, will dry.
