the bank of england chief, mark carney says brexit can kick start golden era of trade, that's according to the telegraph. and the i reports on how universities are having to cut staff as they deal with huge budget deficits. it says 8,000 staffjobs were lost in the past year. let's start with the metro, brexit. pm accused a black male, theresa may also branded a liar after the latest vote delay. she is getting a lot of flak. jeremy corbyn accused her of running down the clock while the s&p's leader actually called her a liar when she was making her remarks to parliament and he was reprimanded afterwards by the speaker, understandably so —— s in p. there's a lot of frustration that after pushing back the meaningful vote into the new year, she now looks like she will be pushing back
10:46 pm
another vote asking for a two week extension. there will be a vote likely this coming thursday, possibly some new amendments although it does not look like they are being put forward. but for yet again, it feels like that can is being kicked down the road. it seems like senior mps will let her do it for another two weeks, but they are now saying that is the deadline. we'll bring back another amendment to stop from doing that again and taking exit out of her hands and extend article 50. again, kicking the can down the road, a tough time for theresa may, but she is insistent that she is in negotiations, which is why she needs the time. that is the key, don't rock the boat, it is a delicate stage? i'm playing chess here, 3d, 18 dimensional, i'm in control... just don't rock the boat for me, guys! and women. 0r just don't rock the boat for me, guys! and women. or is it a big fat lie? the problem is that a lot of parliamentarians on both sides of the house, notjust the opposition
10:47 pm
but quite a few of her own backbenchers think that they are the ones being played, and that she is deliberately putting them off every couple of weeks, maybe a month or two cosmic delay. so as has become the common parlance, at the end of the common parlance, at the end of the day, having kicked the can down the day, having kicked the can down the road, she forces people to vote relu cta ntly the road, she forces people to vote reluctantly for her deal because the alternative is too awful. so this kind of tension we've seen in the house today will get worse and worse, and i think it will be —— there will be an awful lot more anger as people realise they are running out of time. but also there isa running out of time. but also there is a degree of frustration from her critics, because they all know that i'io critics, because they all know that no one group of them has yet managed to coalesce sufficient support around their alternatives to be able to derail her. there is so much frustration and anger that it will be extremely tense. and many of them feel they've been lied to. let's go
10:48 pm
to the daily express, because that suggests there may be a reason for the obfuscation and delays and secret talks. don't rock the boat, we are in secret talks... according to the daily express, secret brexit plot exposed in hotel bar, brexit tierfury as plot exposed in hotel bar, brexit tier fury as negotiator let slip, back may orface tier fury as negotiator let slip, back may or face delay. parliament com pletely back may or face delay. parliament completely agree, but it is thought there could be no support for no deal. they want to get a deal, they don't want to crash out, or as others would say, have a clean break. leave completely. and this backroom conversation looks like it happened at a bar between ali robbins, theresa may's chief negotiator, who said the choice will be between her revised divorce deal 01’ be between her revised divorce deal ora be between her revised divorce deal or a long delay to brexit, meaning a long extension article 50. and
10:49 pm
essentially no deal has been taken off the table and all but direct words. now that might please some mps to know the prime minister does not really mean it when she says no deal is still on the table, but this will infuriate certain backbenchers that she needs to support her to get a deal over the line. frankly it will upset a lot of members of the public. i don't think that for many people, no deal is the ideal scenario. but if you have been watching question time or listening to these programmes, the applause for no deal, having this over and done is very strong. a lot of people think to themselves that if no deal is off the table, why would the eu negotiate? that is the whole reason for having it there in the first place. but lance, the fact of the matter is as far as some brexit tea rs matter is as far as some brexit tears are concerned, to delay and extend article 50, that would be suggesting a complete disavowal of the vote in 2016? well the vote in 2016 said we would leave the eu, but
10:50 pm
the implication was that it would be an orderly withdrawal. so i think there is a growing sense at westminster that extending article 50 may well happen, and people are sort of banking on that assumption. whatever happens, time is running out, and were there to be a no deal scenario to pass that legislation, or do you lurch into it and hope for the best? ithink or do you lurch into it and hope for the best? i think the extension article 50 is perfectly possible, but why he thinks he could be so confident in getting it, because it is not simply in the british government's court, but it has to be all the other governments of the eu. so there's a chance that on 21 march, the eu council, which may be the final crunch meeting, literally
10:51 pm
a week and a day from when we are due to leave the eu, this will come toa due to leave the eu, this will come to a crunch. and at that meeting, they will ask to it —— for an extension. the idea is they will only agree on an extension if it was oi'i only agree on an extension if it was on another referendum or a general election, something to resolve it, rather than carrying on negotiation. you said westminster may have accepted this, which is true. but if westminster accepted in the eu accepts it, can you imagine trying to sell that notjust to people who voted for brexit, but people who are sick and tired of hearing about it every day? like you and me? and all the other people interested in local transport. bad news for those people, we have to carry on about brexit. until you're as old as i am. people like progress. looking at the telegraph, an interesting take on
10:52 pm
the bank of england chief and his comments today? the daily telegraph says kearny swap sphere for hope. bank chief says brexit can kick—start the golden era of trade? it is mystifying, this whole story about his speech. we have not had the benefit of reading the whole speech, which we might need to do to work out what he is trying to say. normally i think mark carney is pretty clear. you get the idea he would like to say more because he is governor of the bank of england, but it's always been clear that he thinks brexit is a very serious risk and a no—deal brexit is a disastrous proposition. the telegraph's take on what he said is that he suddenly decided that leaving the eu could be a fantastic opportunity. 0ne decided that leaving the eu could be a fantastic opportunity. one minute, it's because it gives opportunities to smaller businesses and so on, creating all sorts of openings
10:53 pm
there, but in other parts of the speech, he sounds positively like jeremy corbyn when he describes the current system of globalisation as helping to repeat this perpetuate inequalities, financial imbalances, and all of that could be addressed by brexit. if you want to go straight onto the f2...|i by brexit. if you want to go straight onto the f2. .. i will bring kate in there. they went to the same meeting and heard the same words, and the daily telegraph is a brakes and the daily telegraph is a brakes and supporting paper, and the financial times is completely the opposite. kate, mark carney says it offers acid trade for global trade? there is no deal, a completely different spend? what is even more remarkable is those people —— papers use the phrase acid test, and in the telegraph is —— it is positive, but in the financial times is negative. the financial times has highlighted theissues the financial times has highlighted the issues that he brought up in his speech about how increasing terrace
10:54 pm
could have a very bad impact the uk economy, i have not seen any uk politician advocate for a tree work —— trade war. if there was a no deal, we would want tariffs as low as possible. however, two completely different takes on the same speech, but if you are trying to piece it together now, it seems like what mark carney is highlighting is of course there are opportunities when you have new free trade deals on the table. he knows the benefits of free trade, but he does bring in this protectionist language, talking about globalisation as a threat to the kadesh democracy and trust, and how it no—deal brexit can make that even more concerning. i want to see the full text, i really do. but do we really think that mark carney has suddenly changed his tone was white probably not. but as someone who potentially could be changing their tone is this man. . sorry, useless,
10:55 pm
forget that. trans man fights to be a father. fascinating story. it is a legal story more than one about trans rights. in the sense that the person involved is having a child, having decided that they want to transition to a man but obviously not yet gone through with that, and the legal argument is over whether or not he must be recognised on the birth certificate as the child's mother, rather than simply a mutual term like parent or the child's father? now it is an interesting legal dispute, and i'm not sure that the rights or wrongs of it live. i'm worried about these stories, it is very easy to get a headline out of it ora very easy to get a headline out of it or a talking point out of it. whether it is always a bit of a
10:56 pm
distraction when the issue that really matters to so many of these people who are going through this is their sense of identity. being recognised, their reality. there are a numberof recognised, their reality. there are a number of cases like this, but they are so very small, but they always get a lot of attention. they are so very small, but they always get a lot of attentionm they are so very small, but they always get a lot of attention. it is always get a lot of attention. it is a very interesting legal fight, and one where we must be extremely thoughtful to the feelings involved. you must consider the rights of this trans man, as well as the rights of the child who surely one day would like to know how they came to be. and i think that is very important, but i completely agree that this distracts from the issue, because lots of people will be frustrated with stories like this, thinking about arguing on a technicality, when the majority of trans people are looking for self—worth or to be recognised, or supported by their community. and that is something that completely deserve. it is an interesting legal battle, but distracting from the water issue. finally, it's a picture story from

the front page of the guardian, i know kate will be very interested in this because you are both big football fans. i'm sure you will appreciate the brilliance that was gordon banks. pele leads attributes to legendary gold —— goalkeeper. there he is in the middle and the gold jersey. 7a caps, i think it was? i was saying to you, kate, the eighth —— the safety made against pele was the equivalent of roger federer hitting the sweet spot through the racket?|j federer hitting the sweet spot through the racket? i did not understand most of your sports references, but i added babe ruth hitting it out of the park. and that was the equivalent of that safe, absolutely incredible moment. and he'sa absolutely incredible moment. and he's a british icon, somebody everybody knows their name. they may not remember the goal or the heights of his career, but why was he never served gordon banks?|j of his career, but why was he never served gordon banks? i don't know, very good question. -- sir gordon

banks. we that hanging. thank you, kate andrews and lance price. we'll have another look at 11:30pm. goodbye for now. temperatures will be well above the seasonal as we draw from the iberian peninsula. all thanks to high pressure, we will see quite a lot of dry weather with sunshine, as well. it will remain quite cloudy tonight across northern and western areas, patchy rain and windy for the western side of scotland. but further south and east, clear skies and a bit cooler with some mist and fog developing. turn to the morrow, mist and fog across southern and central parts of england. sunshine
10:59 pm
developing across the northeast of scotland, but staying cloudier further west, perhaps some light drip —— rain or drizzle, temperatures in the double figures for all. thursday has drier air which melts away the cloud across scotla nd which melts away the cloud across scotland and northern ireland, keeping those weather fronts at bay so we should see sunshine more widespread over thursday, and it will be very mild. this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 11:00pm: el chapo, the notorious mexican drug lord behind years of violence, murder and corruption has been convicted on multiple charges by a court in new york. this conviction is a victory for the american people who have suffered so long and so much while guzman made billions, throwing poison over our southern border. tributes are paid to the man
