also coming up: zimbabwe's opposition says its members have been victims of a brutal crackdown. it follows a week of violent unrest after protests over fuel price hikes. and at 11:30pm, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers ros altmann, and the writer and broadcaster, mihir bose. stay with us for that. good evening. the prime minister has been updating mps on her brexit plans after last week's crushing defeat in the commons. she promised more cross—party talks on the contentious issue of the irish backstop — the insurance policy to keep the border open between northern ireland and ireland. mrs may said she'd be going back to the eu

once those talks have concluded. but the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said the prime minister had failed to come up with anything new. there was one surprise, however. mrs may announced a major u—turn on the £65 fee that eu citizens wanting to stay in the uk after brexit were being asked to pay. on the day the scheme was launched, the fees were scrapped. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. what is going on behind the shiny black door? the meet—and—greet of visiting foreign leaders looks like business as usual, but theresa may's most important plan was overwhelmingly chucked out by mps last week. is plan a still your plan b, prime minister? is it madness to try t 515 5; 5555 55t5t5:z:5;§:7

llllll l.l.j ll llllll lljl l.ll but how? will she keep pushing for changes to the so—called backstop, the part of the deal that would guarantee against a return to a hard border between northern ireland and ireland, if a comprehensive trade deal can't be agreed in future? i will be talking further this week to colleagues, including the dup, to consider how we might meet obligations to the people of ireland and northern ireland in a way that can command the greatest possible support in the house. she promised, too, that remainers as well as leavers in the commons and outside will have more say in the next phase of the brexit talks, if she makes it that far. the prime minister's critics will frankly believe that when they see it, but the move to allow eu citizens to stay after brexit without paying was welcomed on all sides. the government will waive the application fee, so that there is no financial barrier... cheering. ..so there is no financial barrierfor any eu

nationals who wish to stay. but that's miles away from getting labour on board. jtsleadelstillwonleiebltake the prime minister up on her offer of talks. to close down the possibility of leaving the eu without a deal. no more phoney talks, parliament will debate and decide, and this time, this time, mr speaker, i hope and expect the government to listen. afifi‘tjfiitmfstfizfipfirtf there is no meaningful signal of how, but if there is movement on the backstop, could there be movement from critics? if the identified problems are changed, it is not so much a question of softening, rather there is a new reality to deal with. one european voice today suggested the backstop could have a limit of five years. it would be one of the solutions of the ideas to be discussed, i think, within the european union,

ngtécggréing te- putting a time limit on an insurance mechanism, which is what the backstop is, effectively means it is not a backstop at all. so i don't think that reflects eu thinking. remember, the backstop is only one of the factors raised by one of the factions. campaigners for another referendum had their talks with ministers today. do you think it has moved on? that. begins a rf-ff-rf-mé‘fg you can'tgljstchlmig' 7 7

sure that even if any post—brexit transition period ends without such a deal in place, there'll still be an open irish border. while further trade negotiations are going on there would be no checks on goods between northern ireland and the republic. but that means the whole of the uk would have to continue to obey eu rules on trade in goods until a deal is reached. and in certain aspects, northern ireland would have to remain more closely linked to eu rules than the rest of the uk. meaning possibly more checks on goods going from the rest of the uk to northern ireland, the so—called border down the irish sea. of course, if there's no withdrawal deal at all, there's no transition, no backstop, and a hard irish border. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports on how the plan's been received locally. goods in or goods out,

at belfast‘s port keeping things moving is the aim. at the moment, people want everything yesterday. people can have their goods delivered tomorrow, even the same day. but that could change? it could obviously change, yes. under the so—called backstop, shipments from britain to northern ireland may have to be treated differently. it could mean new checks introduced where they never existed before to make sure goods travelling onwards comply with eu rules. if there is going to be more customs involved, more customs clearance involved, the goods could be delayed, anything up to an extra two to three days. this plan has many critics in westminster, who say different arrangements for northern ireland carves up the uk. but the irish government and eu insist there is no deal without it. and here's why.

if the backstop were to kick in and there were new checks at the sea border here, it would mean goods could travel on south without the need for further checks when they entered the republic of ireland here, keeping this irish land border as open as it is today. south of the border, many businesses in ireland rely on the easy movement of goods. and they see the backstop is something that guarantees their livelihoods. brexiteers in parliament argue an open border could be ensured in other ways, but that hasn't convinced many in ireland. we can't go backwards. bringing products from the north . it's going to be a eu border, not an irish border with the uk, it's an eu border with the uk.

the backstop is imperative. because what if it doesn't come in? what if we don't have a position? what if in four or five years‘ time, we don't have the technology for reading vehicles and for doing this? the backstop has to be there. as westminster‘s tug—of—war rages across the sea, many unanswered questions remain for people on both parts of this island. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has called on zimbabwe's leaders to allow peaceful protests and not turn the clock back after a week of turmoil in the south african state. protests over fuel price hikes have been met with a violent government crackdown which has left 12 people dead. the security services have been accused of using disproportionate force. the civil unrest has fuelled fears of a return to authoritarian rule under president manan—gag—way, who ended robert mugabe's —— under president manangagwa, who ended robert mugabe's 37 year reign. from harare, our correspondent andrew harding reports. another funeral here in zimbabwe. this one for a young footballer,

in the price of fuel. eh ngizng55; 255; “5551135: with petrol queues, inflation there has to be a return to democracy. we thought that by mr mugabe exiting the stage, we were going to have a new dispensation, but it's not a new dispensation. if anything, the mask has been removed, you know, the mask has fallen off. the truth is that we still have the old system, probably worse. zimbabwe was supposed to be on the mend by now. mugabe gone, a new, gentler government, promising to fix a broken economy. instead, as we have seen in these past few violent days,

here, old habits are hard to kick. and so a question looms. will fear now keep the protesters off the streets, or are zimbabwe poised for deeper turmoil? andrew harding, bbc news, harare. a teenager has appeared in court charged with the murder of 14—year—old jaden moodie, who was knocked off a moped and stabbed to death in east london earlier this month. our correspondent daniela relph has this report. jaden moodie was killed in east london on the 8th of january. he was ia years old. he was knocked off his moped by a car and then stabbed several times in bickley road in leyton. ayoub majdouline, who's 18, was arrested at the weekend and today appeared in court charged with murdering the teenager. he was not asked to enter a plea. standing in the dock, wearing a prison issue grey

has been speaking to a survivor of domestic abuse. he would control the finances. so, comment on what i spent, how much i spent, ask me why i‘d spent something, so i‘d just stop. if i was going out with my friends, he‘d comment on the outfit, that it was too short, i looked too fat. sarah, not her real name, survived years of nonphysical domestic abuse. in isolation, it‘s little things. but as a course of conduct, every day, you start to feel ugly. you start to feel that you‘re not good enough. she finally left her abuser but to fight for custody for their child, she had to face him in the family courts, where he was allowed to cross—examine her. it re—traumatises you. he was allowed to tell me how to think for three years, so by allowing him to cross—examine me in court for three hours, it took me back to a place i thought i‘d got away from. this isn‘t an uncommon story. another victim whose identity we‘re protecting has been

campaigning for change for years. you feel absolutely helpless and you feel like you‘re a criminal. it‘s — and family court isn‘t because anybody‘s done anything wrong. a draft domestic abuse bill now aims to stop this practice. it includes a ban on abusers cross—examining their victims, a new definition of abuse, including economic abuse, where victims have no control over their finances, and new orders that could force abusers into rehabilitation programmes. we want to give victims and survivors the confidence of knowing that if they think they‘re in an unhealthy relationship, that they can seek help and they will receive it. campaigners are cautiously welcoming this bill, but with no new money being pledged to help tackle the problem, and so little parliamentary time available, they‘ew questioning how effective this new legislation could be. —— they‘re.

some lawyers say legal aid cuts have led to double the number of people representing themselves in family court since 2011, and that‘s not all. we‘ve got no refuge spaces. we‘ve got waiting lists for rape crisis centres. we‘ve got too few police officers. ithink... the purpose of the bill is great, but i think we need to see the fine detail and we need to know where the money‘s coming from. which is a question some families may also be asking. a domestic abuse bill with big aspirations, but with budgets tight, can it really deliver? frankie mccamley, bbc news. the world‘s second largest economy, china, has grown at its slowest rate since 1990 — stoking fears about the impact it could have on the rest of the world. official figures put the growth rate at 6.6% last year. although that‘s still high by global standards, pressure has come from falling domestic demand, plus the ongoing trade war with the united states. it comes as the imf has forecast a fall

in global economic growth in the coming year and has warned of increased uncertainty. our business editor simon jack reports from the world economic forum in davos. china‘s rapid economic growth, its expanding role in global trade, and the increased spending power of its consumers have helped create jobs around the world. it picked up a lot of slack after the financial crisis. but that is changing. it‘s now the world‘s second biggest economy, but in the last decade, its growth rate has slowed from a high of 14% to less than half that rate now. and today, there was a warning that rising trade tensions between china and the us could see another dent in global growth. the risks remain. it‘s going to depend a lot on what happens with the trade talks. that is ongoing at this point. in the event that there is an escalation in the trade conflict, then we would see a bigger revision. this isn‘tjust economic theory. it means uk jobs. jaguar land rover said a slump of 50% of sales in china was a major

factor in its decision to cut 6,000 staff over the last 12 months. the news that china‘s economy is growing at its slowest rate in nearly 30 years sent a bit of an icy blast through here ahead of the world economic forum in davos. it wasn‘t entirely unexpected, but china is now such a big part of the global economy that what happens there affects countries all around the world. the demand for raw materials like steel and oil is very sensitive to the chinese economy and affects the fortunes of workers from south wales to saudi arabia. so what do chinese business leaders make of the slowdown and the dangers of an escalating trade war? if the world‘s two largest economies are not seeing eye to eye, everybody suffers. the psychology of the trade war is something which business is very uncomfortable with. but i‘m quite hopeful that there will be a deal in the next few weeks, because both sides need a deal

because of domestic challenges. m to the police watchdog. mike veale had been in thejobjust ten months, having moved from wiltshire police, where he had also faced a probe into alleged misconduct. he was later cleared. vandals have splashed white paint over several statues and memorials around london‘s green park. the bomber command memorial, the canada memorial, and statues of winston churchill and franklin d roosevelt were all damaged in the incident. it is the fourth time in six years the bomber command memorial has been damaged by vandals. the met police are investigating and say they have not yet made any arrests. here‘s sonja jessup.

it is supposed to honour their courage and sacrifice, but today the bomber command war memorial was found vandalised, daubed in white gloss paint. i feel absolutely outraged, i can see no point in this, it seems senseless. you know, what are they hoping to achieve, these people? it'sjust disrespectful of what they did for this country, in terms of freedom, it's absolutely disgusting. it'sjust so sad, it's mindless. i don't know why people would do it. the memorial honours more than 55,000 men who lost their lives with bomber command during world war ii. and those who survived, such as charles clarke, bomber command veteran who was shot down and taken prisoner. inexcusable, and pointless, because it doesn‘t even give a reason for it.

if, for example, you put up a ticket, ban the bomb, one couldn‘t understand it but could perhaps see the point. but this is just sheer vandalism. it‘s not clear how exactly it will cost to clean this up but we are told it will be thousands of pounds. cctv footage is being examined to identify who is responsible. it‘s not about money, it‘s about the people who have been affected by it, the memory of those who died, their mates, the veterans, and the families of those people who‘ve died. that‘s what is the most upsetting bit, is the fact that those people have no idea why this happened. although the charity says there is no reason to think there is a political message behind this, white paint has also been thrown over the canada war memorial, also in green park, and over this statue of winston churchill in mayfair. this is the fourth time in six years that the bomber command memorial has been vandalised. unveiled by the queen in 2012, it took years for bomber command to be recognised in this way.

there was an unease over the hundreds of thousands of german civilians who lost their lives, this memorial acknowledges all civilian losses. why it‘s been vandalised and who by, tonight, a mystery. the super blood wolf moon was visible in the early hours of this morning, and what a sight it was. a rare lunar eclipse and then the surface of the moon appeared to glow red. the unusual event happens when the earth passes precisely between the sun and the moon. size we won‘t see anything quite as spectacular for another few years. here‘s our science editor, david shukman. an experience that left everyone amazed. wow. you can see the moonlight on your eye. the moon closer to earth than usual, and hour by hour being transformed, from its normal brilliant white to a darker and more mysterious red. the sequence of pictures shows how the shadow of the earth gradually fell across the moon. the sunshine, passing through our atmosphere,

looking red on the lunar surface. it produced a mesmerising sight for millions. this image was taken in argentina, but dozens of different countries were also blessed with clear skies. the czech republic had some exceptional views. so did many in germany, where photographers braved freezing temperatures to get these remarkable scenes. in northumberland, the remote kielder 0bservatory captured this picture. of your the astronomers gathered there in the early hours were astounded. it was a really magical experience actually, because the whole observatory team were together, watching it, and some of our team have never seen a lunar eclipse before. so, just watching the moon turn this deep red colour, and the entire night sky went pitch black. many parts of britain were lucky with the weather atjust the right time. from conisbrough castle in south yorkshire, to this stunning many will

scene in brightlingsea in essex... to another extraordinary vision at seaford in east sussex. david shukman, bbc news. and we‘ll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, the former pensions minister, baroness ros altmann, and the writer and broadcaster, mihir bose. that‘s coming up just after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it‘s time for the weather with ben rich. hello there. you probably do not need me to tell you it is rather chilly out at the moment and for the most part, it is going to stay that way throughout the ten days. to find out what is going on, we look way above our heads towards the jetstrea m, above our heads towards the jetstream, to live in a fast flowing air that drives weather systems around the world and separates colder air from around the world and separates colder airfrom milder air. at the moment, we on the northern side of thejet, so moment, we on the northern side of the jet, so stuck in the cold air. to bring anything milder our way, we

have to get on to the southern side of the jetstream and thought much of the time over the next week to ten days, that is not going to happen. certainly starting tuesday on the cold side of the jet, in fact some icy stretches just about anywhere across the country. it could be as a slippery start to the day and then as we go to the day, wintry showers that start out in the west and migrate a little bit further eastwards. so even migrate a little bit further eastwards. so even over a migrate a little bit further eastwards. so even over a fairly modest hills and there could be adjusting to low levels if you get heavy enough shower, but there will be some sunny spells the showers. kim wind it feel chilly. based on bridges at bestjust three to six degrees, there could well be some wintry showers across the far north—east as we go through tuesday evening and then through tuesday at night into the early part of wednesday, watch the temperatures drop away. some parts of scotland could well go down as low as —9 —10 degrees. another cold start on wednesday that the wind is not as brisk by this stage and there will not be as many showers either. there will be some up towards the

north—west of many places are going to have a dry day with some spells of sunshine, but those temperatures still struggling between three and seven degrees. this is the setup as we move into thursday, a bit of high pressure trying to build its way into the south—west. his frontal system toppling its way around the top of the area of high pressure. it isa top of the area of high pressure. it is a warm front and behind it, we do just to get into some slightly milder air. that frontal system, another chilly day on thursday, mostly dry dave with some spells of sunshine the cloud will thicken across northern ireland with some rain late in the day at the front approaches. as we move through thursday night, that warm front slides and sway a little bit further eastwards. some rain for northern areas, but we also get into a wedge above the airand areas, but we also get into a wedge above the air and look where the jetstrea m above the air and look where the jetstream is going to be by friday. the jetstream is to the north of us, we are to the south of the jet. so just temporarily, we get to feel the effects of some slightly milder air. there is likely to be a fair amount

of cloud around on friday, i suspect. some outbreaks of rain across collins, stills and snow over higher ground for the most part, those temperatures just a bit higher. however, that is not going to last because on saturday, with their frontal system drive to last because on saturday, with theirfrontal system drive in its way south—eastward and pretty heavy burst of rain without, so blustery winds as well but behind that, we start to bring the winds into the north—west, we start to get back into that cold air and we start to see the reappearance of some wintry showers. the rain clears the way to the south and look at what happens to the jetstream during the south and look at what happens to thejetstream during next the south and look at what happens to the jetstream during next week, it diesa to the jetstream during next week, it dies a long way southwards. we are stranded on the northern side of thejet, are stranded on the northern side of the jet, stranded in are stranded on the northern side of thejet, stranded in the are stranded on the northern side of the jet, stranded in the cold air, with that as well, it is likely to be quite unsettled. the details are still to play for but 9.5 ' ' ' still to play for but the low pressure looks likely to be in charge around the vicinity of the british isles. in the next week, it looks rather cold with widespread frost but because of that area of low pressure, there is always the chance of some rain and yes, perhaps a little bit of snow. that chilly weather looks . to
