one day to the temperatures from one day to the next. that's your latest weather. goodbye for now. hello. this is bbc news with clive myrie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. mps have inflicted another defeat on the government — at a decisive moment in the brexit process. the ayes to the right, 308, the noes to the left 297. mps voted to give theresa mayjust three days to come up with a new brexit plan — if her current one is defeated next week. the house of commons has now embarked on five days of debate, leading to the main vote on the prime minister's brexit plan, next tuesday. police say they have found the car believed to have been involved in the murder of 14—year—old jayden moodie — who was knocked off a moped before being fatally stabbed in east london. president donald trump has walked out of a meeting with democratic leaders as negotiations broke down on the 19th day of a us government shutdown. a man has been arrested and 27 suspected migrants are detained after they were found in the back of a lorry stopped by police on the m6 in staffordshire.

and the nominations for this year's bafta awards were announced today, with the favourite shortlisted in 12 categories. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kate andrews, who's the associate director at the institute of economic affairs, and the political journalist, jane merrick. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — with the drama in parliament today featuring heavily in the papers. the face of the commons‘ speaker is all over the front of the daily telegraph, with the paper focusing onjohn bercow‘s unprecedented move of allowing a vote on an amendment which now gives theresa mayjust three days to present a plan b for brexit if she loses the meaningful vote debate. "may losing control of brexit" —

the i reports on the second commons defeat for theresa may within two days. the daily mail brandsjohn bercow‘s actions "out of order" — he's facing claims of anti—brexit bias. the dramatic moment mr bercow faced angry protests in parliament today is on the front of the guardian. "speaker of the devil" — the sun also chooses to focus on the fury levelled at the speaker with many accusing him of trying to "scupper brexit". theresa may's second commons defeat is also on the front of ft — the paper details her offer to mps of a backstop veto. the times describes her brexit strategy as "in tatters" as tory rebels join forces with labour over an alternative to her deal. and the metro leads with the chief executive of amazon's divorce from his wife — jeff bezos is separating from his spouse of 25 years. there's all about the brexit, jane,

all about the brexit. theresa may is powering a as she suffers another humiliating defeat. we are seeing a battle for supremacy over the direction of travel and who should be driving the vehicle. looks as though parliament is winning. be driving the vehicle. looks as though parliament is winningm does. theresa may is running out of options. what will she do next? it isa options. what will she do next? it is a seven defeat, i think, since becoming prime minister, which i read was more than thatcher and blair combined, the whole time in government. it is extraordinary. this is a picture on the front of the guardian, the moment whenjohn bercow was overriding the government and allowing this week to take place. it gives the centre parliament was taking back control of this process. it has been in the prime minister's aims for months. she has been intransigent, she has wa nted she has been intransigent, she has wanted to run down the clock, mps suspect, it is either by deal or no deal. her deal is flawed in the eyes of remainers and brexiteers on both sides of the house. she has to give

some way. kate, i suppose the writing was on the world in terms of a potential power struggle between the government and parliament, when theresa may lost the majority. that sunk her. absolutely. i think her turn inward after losing that majority to making these negotiations be doing her and a few other people and not sharing that with the remainers or the brexiteers has proved to backfire spectacularly. the guardian for a page say that her powers ebbing away is certainly true. she has one last play. that is the first vote next tuesday on her withdrawal agreement. i think it is pretty much broadly thought that she will lose that, we don't know by how much, but everyone across the political spectrum things it will be a defeat for the prime minister. technically, this is one moment to take back control and get that vote over the line, if that happens then the amendment does not come into play. once it doesn't get over the line than the amendment comes into play. they gesturally one

days that she doesn't have 21 days to chat to the eu behind closed doors. mps to chat to the eu behind closed doors. mp5 get to weigh in on a mammoth would like to see. they could be very bold, from a second referendum play planned no deal, to trying to get a new deal —— mps would like to see. this could actually lead to no deal. it could lead to a whole number of circumstances that are impossible to predict. jane, is there a sense that it is all about the numbers. if theresa may loses next week and it is 30 or theresa may loses next week and it is 30 oi’iio, theresa may loses next week and it is 30 or 40, maybe less than 50, she could somehow soldier ryan. anything above that forget about it. atiga depends on where the shift of power will be. she won a confidence vote parun mps will be. she won a confidence vote pa run mps last will be. she won a confidence vote parun mps last month was up she could do a clever thing and say i don't need the support brexiteers any more. i will seek consensus to the left of me, how can get remain tories and labour mps together to form some kind of consensus? there

is and a majority of anything in parliament apart from against a no deal. it is difficult to know where we go from here. as kate alluded to, there was the sense that parliament has taken back control, but ultimately the eu will have a final say as to whether or not any of this can be changed or not. let us go to the daily telegraph. kate, mr speaker takes control. john bercow insulting and so ——in setting himself into this whole debate. he has power over brexit process to the commons. he has become the centre of focus today. according to the telegraph they are reporting that the speaker ignored legal advice. and that he has gone against parliamentary precedent when it comes to the way no deal —— amendments are supposed to be tabled and decided. many people will be applauding him. they say this is the sovereignty that brexiteers said they wanted. there is a difference

between sovereignty and lawlessness. people have lost trust in parliament today, it is something that is envied around the world. to the point before, even if mrs may loses her withdrawal agreement by wine, the man is —— massive change that the man is —— massive change that the group amendment brings in, it is not that if she loses by wind their support they need to make eight week to get one vote, at this point mps can now weigh in anything that they want. we can have massive up evil. it feels like the process became one release a —— massive up evil. people are thinking what will happen? seems becoming more unruly. those people who are backing what the speaker, how are they justifying who are backing what the speaker, how are theyjustifying it? who are backing what the speaker, how are theyjustifying mm who are backing what the speaker, how are they justifying it? it was quite in an edifying spectacle. you either in favour of the amendment or not i think the speaker has to be com pletely not i think the speaker has to be completely neutral in this. is not seen as neutral. from my point of view i think mps were right to ask

for that grieve amendment. we need to speed up the timetable because time is running out. however, the speaker looks incredibly arrogant, he said precedent is there to be broken, he went against the advice of his most senior clerk. he looks like he is not a neutral person in this. as kate says, that will lose the trust of the commons. sure. continuing that theme on the front of the daily mail. 0ut continuing that theme on the front of the daily mail. out of order. this egotistical preening popping jade has shamelessly put his anti—brexit buys before the national interest and is a disgrace to his office. —— bias. how did he come out that he voted remain?|j office. —— bias. how did he come out that he voted remain? i don't think it has. they have fixated on his wife. and her openness for remain. husband—and—wife vote the same way. as though they are each other's property. that has tainted the debate and the discussions we have

been hearing and a display of rank oi’ been hearing and a display of rank or in the commons today. it is interesting to see the daily mail, as people are probably aware, they have changed editor from as people are probably aware, they have changed editorfrom paul as people are probably aware, they have changed editor from paul dacre to geordie greig. it is less hard brexit, less forlorn brexit. this is back to what we expected under paul dacre. the language is very like him, preening popinjay. this week when we have had a very highly chan urged week inside the commons, and right outside the commons, i'm not sure this language is helpful —— highly charged. the heart heart of how angry people are about what we're saying about his copra most neutrality. sure. ago to the times. victim rescue fees dropped following an investigation. this was the suggestion that women who were the victims of abuse abroad had, in

order to be brought back here or way from violence, had to pay for the flights. this is a fantastic piece of news today. the times has been revealing of the past few weeks that the foreign office, when they were repatriating victims, roughly 82 victims of forced marriage between 2016 and 2017, there were forcing those over the age of 18 to cover the costs. it says here that if they could not immediately they were forced to take out emergency loans and they would hold their passports until they repaid. that is not the kind of thing you would think would be happening in a place like the united kingdom. thankfully jeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, has come out and said there is an immediate policy charge, these women will not be charged. it doesn't matter if you are on the left or the right. it is a very basic printable of the state is this level of protection for its citizens ——

principle. some of the women were being tortured, being capped in re—education camps, essentially, to threaten to charge them or take away their passport, to take away any more of their freedom than they have lost that such a vulnerable time was horrible. well done on the times for getting this policy change. british people get into trouble abroad have to pay for the flights back, but these are not the same kinds of people. these are victims. it is heartless. it is almost a redolent of the windrush scandal. it shows where bureaucracy goes there is no sensitivity to it, it is a sort of civil service machine in place. there is not a real human person looking and saying this policy is wrong. it's great investigative journalism and well done tojeremy hunt for overturning it. it is so khrul. everything they have been through —— raw. khrul. everything they have been through -- raw. how is he looking? i think moments like this would be

good for him. he's tried to move away from his time in the nhs when many people would say he was part of the bureaucracy to show the more humane side. it is also made it very political. his ambitions are coming through. he has put himself at the forefront of politics to make some bold claims that he didn't during the referendum. iwould not bold claims that he didn't during the referendum. i would not say it has been tainted, per se, but it has formulated our opinion of him as foreign secretary that we see him as someone foreign secretary that we see him as someone who has bigger political ambitions one—day. someone who has bigger political ambitions one-day. exactly. the foreign office is clearly the kind of platform that might be used to thrust forward even further. all right, we will go on to the financial times. jane, were you out shopping at christmas time was yellow i was. i did some online, because you can't do everything. i did a hell of a lot of it, i have to say. it is part of everyday life. i

did brave 0xford say. it is part of everyday life. i did brave oxford street in the middle of december. i was terrified. it was pretty quiet and is able to doa it was pretty quiet and is able to do a couple of hours of shopping and not want to tear my hair out. the story in the ft does reflect that it was really sluggish and i think they we re was really sluggish and i think they were hoping there would be an uptick right before christmas because the day christmas was falling on, the tuesday, but the story shows the discounters did really well but people like sainsbury‘s and others did pretty badly. it says that greeks did pretty well. —— greggs. big sausage rolls turned out to be a bestseller for them, apparently. —— deagan. it is ordinary people who are feeling should they go out and buy the new tv or the sofa or whatever, not sure what is going to happen is that part of this?” whatever, not sure what is going to happen is that part of this? i think there is a brexit effect to everything. i think the overarching

issue is that the cost of living continues to rise. many people, regardless of the state of economy, will not feel that they are in a position where they can spend that kind of cash at john lewis or some of the others. overall, people have struggled with that. they probably have re— prioritise their spending. it is something that once the governor gets rated out of the way they must address. the problem is, when they are they going to get out of the way? and if there is no deal. it will be pretty awful. there will bea it will be pretty awful. there will be a chilling effect on the economy. some would argue it is not that big a deal leaving the european union on wto rules. it is remarkable that we are at such an unstable place that things that no side wanted, you know, two years ago, things that people are were not advocating are the things that are being argued. we

we re the things that are being argued. we were saying in the first segment, business says that uncertainty is hugely problematic. for customers, voters, people living in the uk and abroad, uncertainty is problematic as well. on to the metro, this could be a big story in the coming weeks, amazon bus in $137 billion divorce. the richest man in the world is, jeff bezos, as a result of us shopping online, and selling fresh fruit as well, that is how he does it. but anyway, the guy is sadly missing from his wife and potentially she could be in for a big pay—out. from his wife and potentially she could be in for a big pay-out. you have to say that any kind of split or divorce must be traumatic for them and they have four children, so you have to think of them a little bit. however, there are sort of £100 billion here which is his fortune, and it is possible she is likely to

get half of it. she was with him before he made his billions, they do have four children. i didn't really know much about her, i read a bit before we came on, she is a novelist, but i wonder how many of her own career she sacrificed to enable him to have his own business, whether she stayed at home with the kids. in lots of cases it is easy to say lucky her, she is almost like a gold digger, but she has properly supported him through... 25 years is a long time, and she deserves, i think of some of that fortune. just asiama think of some of that fortune. just as i am a manchester city fan, and i knew them when they were poor and now they are rolling in the cash, mrs now they are rolling in the cash, m rs bezos now they are rolling in the cash, mrs bezos was there when he began, and that is critical, in any kind of settlement, how much investment, emotional and physical, was put into this as far as she is concerned? especially in the united states, looking at what was put in, what she

will have sacrificed to make that possible for him to provide for the family in the way he did, and the fa ct family in the way he did, and the fact that they have four kids is really quite crucial to this. jeff bezos posted a statement on twitter which seemed very amicable, really very kind, but they still cared for each other, thought of each other as family and will continue to do so for their kids. when you are talking about these sums of money, you could see an epic battle, but hopefully for the two of them it will be very civil, and she may become the wealthiest woman in the world. this divorced settlement would put her certainly ahead of the queen. they estimate she could be the wealthiest woman in the world. finally, the national theatre. stumbling over their lines a little bit. what have they done? well, youjust their lines a little bit. what have they done? well, you just wonder if there is some poor in turn who accidentally scheduled the press release and the announcement a few hours too early. they have accidentally announced that the

duchess of sussex, her first royal patronage is set to be with the national theatre. this is a lovely announcement, a big moment for her, her first royal patronage. she is a former actress, she is a very outspoken woman in a very tasteful way, and this is a perfect set up for her. however it was announced slightly too early. it was put up on their website in all its glory and it seems to have been taken down. it isa it seems to have been taken down. it is a wonderful piece of news but it slipped out too soon. the perfect thing for her to support, i suppose, because as you say she is a former actress, but the queen was actually the former patron of this organisation. this is a really nice detail, actually, and there has been so detail, actually, and there has been so much briefing about oleksandr zinchenko, the duchess of sussex in the last few months, some sort of row she is having with the duchess of cambridge —— meghan. some sort of suggestions the queen has frowned on

her lack nail polish, all these stories, and this shows the genuine thing that the queen has many patronages, but she is handing this over to her patronages, but she is handing this overto heras herfirst patronages, but she is handing this over to her as her first and i think it isa over to her as her first and i think it is a really good one for her to do because it is very symbolic of her former career. and bringing her into the family. that sort of passing off, handing off of this patronage role with the national theatre, that is nothing to do with everything we have been seeing recently about splits within the royal family and suggestions that she is a prima donna and all this kind of stuff. no link there. she is a prima donna and all this kind of stuff. no link therem wouldn't seem like it. i think there isa wouldn't seem like it. i think there is a real desire to stoke up some pretty nasty rhetoric around meghan, because for many reasons i think connected to her race, her class, the fact that she is a true outsider, the fact that she is american hasn't helped. and also, you know, let's be honest, the fact that when they did that interview

once they got engaged, she really spoke for them, and a lot of people have been put back by that. but harry seems smitten, and she is clearly being brought into the family. and i wouldn't expect a hand down from the queen to be a sign they are pushing haraway, it is saying welcome to the family. and she is incredibly popular with the public and the wedding was very popular as well. sol public and the wedding was very popular as well. so i think the whole thing has been slightly manufactured, and actually she is a very popular new addition to the royal family. i think a lot of people can see that. many, many thanks for that. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, kate andrews and jane merrick, and goodbye. hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins

at the bbc sport centre. title holders manchester city have powered towards the final of the league cup after a thumping 9—0 win over burton albion of league one in the first leg of their semi—final. david ornstein watched the goals rain in. the kind of away trip lower league clu bs the kind of away trip lower league clubs tend only to dream about, at the burton albion, that dream became a reality. the biggest game in their history, a night to enjoy regardless of the result. nigel‘s late father, brian, won this competition four times, though beating guardiola to get a shot at emulating him was

a lwa ys get a shot at emulating him was always unlikely and kevin de bruyne soon set city on their way. separated by 51 places in the football league, the gulf and quality was clear and underlined as gabrieljesus scored twice in four minutes. clough's expression said it all, although worse was to follow for his side. even when they didn't mean to shoot, they found the for his side. even when they didn't meé a to shoot, they found the for his side. even when they didn't meé a basketballhey found the for his side. even when they didn't meé a basketball score. ind the for his side. even when they didn't meé a bash his all score. ind the for his side. even when they didn't meé a bash his hat—trickind the for his side. even when they didn't meé a bash his hat—trick before completed his hat—trick before calling on his team—mates to get in on the act, and they obliged, a second—half onslaught resulting in four more goals. the home fans chanted for ten but happily settled for nine. although burton's dream had turned into something of a nightmare, even clough saw the bright side. good luck in the second leg. there was a big night in women's football, with three continental cup quarter—finals taking place. arsenal are through to the semi—finals after a 2—1win at home against birmingham. so too are chelsea. two goals for england's fran kirby helped them onto a 4—0 win against reading.

manchester united are also through, in their first season in existence, 2—0 against west ham. manchester city women take on brighton tomorrow for the final spot. for the second year in a row there has been an increase in the average time premiership rugby players are out injured. the number of concussions has fallen slightly, but tackling remains the biggest risk in an annual study released today. patrick gearey has this report on it. and he is going to win the race, is he? bigger, faster, stronger. the exhilaration equation of modern by exhilaration equation of modern rugby union is speed times power. for some of us, that might magas wins for a second, but it is taking all of us involved longer to recover from. statistics say the severity of injuries is growing, and the car crash forces of the tackle are largely to blame. it is not necessarily the person that's carrying the bullets going to get

injured, if the person making the tackle. so that comes down the technique, it comes down to height of the tackle, it comes down to head on head contact coming within the tackle, so we need to look at that. also the speed of the collision, thatis also the speed of the collision, that is an important thing, how the ballcarrier approaches things. is there a way to mitigate against them and make it safe? the latest player injury report reveals the average injury report reveals the average injury keeps a premiership player out for 37 days. that's up for the second straight year, and the overall boa rd second straight year, and the overall board burden of injuries on the league is now the highest since 2002. injuries in training and a more severe than ever, and they make up more severe than ever, and they make up more than a third of the total. it seems, as well as crushingly physical matches, players are going through more demanding preparation. and that might need to be limited. there is a sense of what can we control, and perhaps contacting training is one of those areas. so certainly looking with rugby and the rfu, that might well be the next step, and certainly some players feel that if there was reduced contacting training there would

probably be reduced injuries, just so just seeing if that is going to play through. rugby union has acted in this area before but some success. it has brought in technology and techniques to monitor and deal with concussion. an injury that was fast rising but has now slightly decreased. it remains the biggest injury rugby players suffer, though, and while the forces at play grow ever more extreme, the pressure on laws and those who apply them will only increase. that's all the sport for now. goodnight. hello there. after a chilly couple of days, something a little milder as we move towards the weekend. from the north, a northerly airstream normally means a cold arctic blast, but it is all to do with the area of high pressure and the fact we are on the eastern flank of it, and the air that will eventually topple in for us will come in from the north or north—west. it has been across the atla ntic north—west. it has been across the atlantic so it has been modified. evenif atlantic so it has been modified.

even if it was the rise first thing on thursday it the story across scotla nd on thursday it the story across scotland and northern ireland, albeit a cloudy one. we saw blue to the south. there will be a chilly start across much of england and wales, but the cloud and the warm weather front in association with it in the milderair weather front in association with it in the milder air will slowly sink their way south through the day on thursday. it will struggle at six or seven and the likes of london and cardiff. back into double figures for belfast. you can pick out that north—westerly northerly breeze as we go overnight thursday and friday. it is quite light, but bear in mind we have switched into the milder air and it will be a green map first thing on friday. we should essentially be frost free. it will bea essentially be frost free. it will be a little fresh first thing, of course, temperatures down in single figures and a little lower in a few rural spots. generally we have a milder story for friday. quite a cloudy picture, however, brightness quite limited and perhaps sheltered eastern spot seeing the best of the sunshine. temperatures starting to push back up into double figures quite widely. and then, come the weekend, as we really start to pick up

weekend, as we really start to pick upa weekend, as we really start to pick up a north—westerly or westerly breeze, we get a proper atlantic field to our weather, if you like. so definitely a milder picture. quite windy picture at times, those isobars coming and quite closely together. but the high is still to the south so that will take up most of the rain the england and wales. there will be quite a bit of cloud around, scotland and northern ireland get the wettest bells through the course of the day on saturday. hopefully there will be a little bit of brightness to be found across eastern areas. as the sunday, it isa across eastern areas. as the sunday, it is a pretty similar picture. the area of high pressure stays to the south—west of us, another set of fronts toppling in from the north—west. tightly packed isobars and still windy story, rain running in from the north and east. seeing some cloud at some stage, but hopefully perhaps a little bit more on the way of sunshine across the uk asa on the way of sunshine across the uk as a whole and sunday. certainly milder, temperatures of 11 or 12. welcome to newsday.

i'm babita sharma in london. the headlines: the ayes to the right, 308, the noes to the left 297. a major blow for theresa may and her brexit plan — as she suffers another defeat in parliament. president trump walks out of a meeting with congressional leaders — after he's told he won't get money for the border wall. again, we saw a temper tantrum because he could not get his way and he just walked out of the meeting. we heard once again that democratic leaders are unwilling to even negotiate. i'm rico hizon in singapore. also on the programme: global markets rally as us—china trade talks end with signs of optimism.
