the uk's chief negotiator lord frost has arrived in brussels to resume talks with his eu counterpart michel barnier over a post—brexit trade deal. it follows a phone call yesterday between the uk prime minister, borisjohnson and the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen which failed to deliver an agreement. arriving in brussels in the last hour lord frost spoke briefly to reporters, here's what he had to say. welcome back, lord frost. is compromise in the air? are you confident a deal is going to be achieved? has the prime minister given you a bit more room for manoeuvre, lord frost? we are working very hard to try and get a deal. we are going to see what happens in negotiations today. and we will be looking forward to meeting our european colleagues later on this afternoon. thank you very much. so talks are expected to start later this afternoon — and we know there a number of sticking points in the negotiations which are proving

to be hard to reconcile. the first is fishing. it's just a small part of the uk's economic activity, but a symbolic one, with disagreement over the level of access the eu will get to fish in uk waters. perhaps the biggest issue is fair competition, also known as the level playing field. the eu says the uk must stick to agreed rules on government aid to british firms, so that there's no unfair advantage. and then there's what's known as the governance of the deal, if an agreement is reached who will police it? our political correspondent jonathan blake said the next couple of days would be crucial if both sides are to agree a trade deal. as far as the uk side is concerned, the final roll of the dice, as a source close to the negotiations has put it. there is a feeling that there are 48 hours, really, in which there will be either progress or a breakdown. borisjohnson and ursula von der leyen are due to speak again

on the phone tomorrow evening. and between now and then, i think we will get a sense of whether this is going to go the distance, and there is a deal to be done, or whether the process will break down. massive health warning on that statement, that we have been here before and the timetable could still slip. but no—one is denying that the timescale now is incredibly tight, as the environment secretary george eustice reflected, speaking on the andrew marr programme a little while ago. i think we probably are now in the final few days, in terms of being able to decide whether there can be an agreement. of course, if the ambience warms up again and great progress is made, and it'sjust about sorting out the detail, you could always find more time, you can always extend. but i think unless we can resolve these quite fundamental divergences at the moment, then we are going to have to take a position in the next few days. the question remains, if the outlines of a deal emerge, and the is are dotted and the ts

are crossed in time, can it be approved and ratified, not only here in the uk, but the other eu member states, in time for the deadline of december to 31st when the transition period comes to an end? and a big question being asked here, and at westminster, is what labour will do. will they support the deal in the house of commons, will they abstain? or will they vote against it? and the answer to that question at the moment, it still seems, is let's wait and see. the shadow cabinet office minister, rachel reeves, was asked what labour would do if a deal emerges, again, on the andrew marr programme. at the moment, the priority is to get a deal. but we'll have to look, of course, at the content of a deal. but also any legislation that comes to pump. we are not going to give them a blank cheque. i think i have been very clear, both today and on previous

programmes with you, andrew, that the most important thing is that the government get a deal. we want a deal to be delivered. we will look at any legislation that comes to parliament. it's a very difficult question for labour, a sensitive issue, of course, going back to the election very nearly a year ago, when the party suffered a terrible defeat on that issue of brexit, which of course dominated the election campaign and gave borisjohnson a huge majority in the house of commons. and it seems there is a bit of debate among shadow cabinet members as to what labour should do here. but, for now, you heard rachel reeves there, they are waiting to see what the contents of a deal is. it would also need to be approved in the various capitals of the eu member states. and we have heard france in recent days, reminding everyone if the deal doesn't work in their interests, even if it is agreed by eu negotiators, they could and would veto it. and that is something that all member states are able to do, as the french mp alexandre holroyd from the en marche party outlined this morning. since the beginning of this

procedure, this procedure follows a procedure which is in the treaties of the functioning of the european union and which requires every single member state of the eu to agree to the final deal. therefore, france has a veto? every member state of the eu is liable to veto this deal, or is liable to accept it. just as, incidentally, the british prime minister is absolutely liable to veto the deal as well. it is very clear that, in the end, it has to be the 28 leaders, so the 27, plus the british prime minister, who agree this deal is the right deal for it to actually take effect. so, a crucial couple of days. the sticking points, as you outlined a while ago, are as they have been for some time now. fishing, competition issues, and the level playing field, as it is often called, and the governance and enforcement of any deal. but no doubt a crucial couple of days ahead. lets focus on one of those issues jonathan was talking about,

fisheries. barrie deas is chief executive of the national federation of fishermen‘s organisations. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. as you understand it, when it comes to fishing, what is the key sticking point in these negotiations? i suppose it is no surprise that we have come to this point, because the eu has signalled right from the outset that it would require the uk to cave in on fishing rights in order to secure a trade deal, whereas the uk has said, well, we are in a new situation, new legal situation, as an independent coastal state, we want the usual relationship that exists between coastal states, where they share stocks. of course, the eu has had a huge advantage over the uk, over a0 yea rs, huge advantage over the uk, over a0 years, on access and quota shares, and it doesn't want to give them up. that is the nub of the issue. in

terms of quota shares, what would you like to see in your ideal world? what would you be happy with? we wa nt what would you be happy with? we want nothing extraordinary, just what a normal coastal states base their quota shares on, and assessment of the resources that are in each other‘s waters, and the quotas. in the jargon, it is known as zonal catchment. i think the fishing industry will be looking at any fishing deal that comes out which has zonal attachment, has it been achieved, do we have our fair share of quotas? that is the basis ofa share of quotas? that is the basis of a deal. i think that a deal on fish is possible, there is a deal on offer that would give eu fleets access, at some sort of level, to uk waters. but it requires the eu to move on quota shares. can i put to you in argument i am sure you will be familiar with, maybe even frustrated by. a lot of commentators will say fishing is a tiny part of

the british economy, something like 0.002% of gdp, and it has something like an unrealistically high level of importance in these talks. if these talks were to flounder on the issue fishing rights, that would be strange, given that it is not a very significant part of the economy. that is an argument that is put. what would you say to that?” that is an argument that is put. what would you say to that? i think a trade deal is on both sides' interests. it is the eu that has made this rather artificial linkage between trade and fish, because it has got a very weak hand to play on fish. so, we recognise the importance of a trade deal, but not at the price of selling out fishing rights. that is what happened back in1973, rights. that is what happened back ini973, on rights. that is what happened back in 1973, on the entry terms, when we joined the eec, and fishing were sacrificed. i think the prime minister recognises, in a sense, that this is a ted heath moment, if

you like. is the fishing industry going to be sold out or not? i don't detect any sign within government, within the people that we talk to within the people that we talk to within government, that fishing is going to be sold out. one last question, if i could quote to you what the economist said, that it is really important to remember it is about processing fish, rather than just catching. so, it's not necessarily just about capturing quotas, and the processing depends on free trade, and that even a place like grimsby is quite worried about the future of its processing industry, and processing work, if there isn't a trade agreement? but if you have a fair share of the quotas, that means landing increase, which means there is more processing. we fully accept access to the market is important. but it is the eu that has made this linkage between fishing and trade. normally,

fishery agreements on trade agreements are kept entirely separate, and that is the situation that we are in now. but, as i said before, i don't see any sign that the uk is going to cave in on fish. 0k, the uk is going to cave in on fish. ok, very good to talk to you. thank you for your time. president trump has again falsely insisted that he won the us presidential election. he was speaking at a rally in georgia — his first campaign event since last month's election, which was won byjoe biden. he was there to support the state's two republican senators, who need to win runoff elections injanuary if republicans are to hang on to control of the senate. peter bowes reports. it is my pleasure to welcome the president of the united states, donald j trump. a rare appearance by melania trump, marking her husband's return to the campaign trail. speaking for almost two hours, donald trump received a rousing reception from his supporters in georgia, a state he lost tojoe biden.

hello, georgia. we did a greatjob. you know we won, georgia, just so you undrstand. "we love you" chanted the crowd as mr trump, without providing evidence, again claimed the election was stolen by the democrats. we've never lost an election. we're winning this election. the rally was staged to promote two republican senators standing for re—election injanuary. at stake is the balance of power in the senate and much of donald trump's legacy. the most important run—off election in american history according to the president. the voters of georgia will determine which party runs every committee, writes every piece of legislation, controls every single taxpayer dollar. very simply, you will decide whether your children will grow up in a socialist country or whether they will grow up in a free country. georgia, like many states, has seen a huge surge in coronavirus

cases in recent days. yet few in the trump crowd were wearing masks. the democratic candidates for the senate in georgia have also been campaigning. we need to be thinking about the americans over the last several months who have perished, not only from the virus we call covid—19 but more especially from the virus we call indifference. thank you, georgia. get out and vote. the results of the georgia election will shape american politics asjoe bien enters the white house. for now, donald trump remains a polarising force and true to form he is not going quietly. hospitals in the uk will receive their first deliveries of the new coronavirus vaccine tomorrow, as the country prepares to begin its largest ever immunisation programme.

the firstjabs are expected to be administered on tuesday at 50 hospitals in england. jon donnison reports. in these freezers, chilled to —70 celsius, is what everyone has been waiting for. the pfizer/biontech vaccine has now arrived in the uk and is being stored in secure locations. tracking data covering every box's journey from belgium will be downloaded to check that the vials have been kept at the right temperature. around the country, nhs teams are working through the weekend to get everything ready. in england alone, 50 hospital trusts will initially serve as hubs administering the vaccine. among the first to get vaccinated, from tuesday, will be people over 80 years old. individuals will be offered a jab if they attend hospital as an outpatient, or are being discharged after a stay. others will receive calls asking them to come in. care home staff will be prioritised too.

and any remaining time slots will go to health care workers deemed at high risk. all those vaccinated will need a boosterjab 21 days later. as more doses of the vaccine arrive, more hubs will be set up. gps and primary care staff are being put on standby to deliver vaccinations in the coming weeks, followed by a plan for mass distribution in pharmacies, sporting venues and conference centres. it will be the largest vaccination programme the uk has ever seen. john donnison, bbc news. south korea is raising its coronavirus alert level to the second highest tier as it battles a rise in infections. new restrictions will apply to the capital, seoul, and surrounding areas for the next three weeks. gatherings of more than 50 will be prohibited, while restaurants and many shops will have to close at nine in the evening. the new measures come after infection rose last week to more than 500 a day.

at his witty, whimsical best, there was no—one quite like peter alliss. oh—ho! think he enjoyed that one? for more than 50 years, he painted golf and all its quirks in his own inimitable style. built for comfort, not speed. a bit like myself. golf was in his blood. his father, percy, had been a professional. under his watch, the young peter soon flourished. he became a ryder cup regular. but even when he was still playing, his poise in front of the microphone was becoming obvious. i think this course is in wonderful condition at this time of the year. his relaxed style made him a regular on talk shows, where he said the key to commentating was never to take the game too seriously. it has enormous rewards, great sadness, great joy, great stupidity. great nonsense, you know? and it's really not all that serious. behind that light—heartedness, there was no doubting his expertise. he's played it boldly,

that could be magical. when the world's greatest golfers conjured their greatest moments, alliss was the perfect guide. thank you. for all of his supporters, though, he had his critics, too. to some, he was the epitome of golf‘s often stuffy image. yellow marker look like they might be a handful, there is three. but he was never afraid to speak his mind. i try to be an observer. you get into trouble for that sometimes, if you don't say the right things for the right people. i look at it and think, is that right, is it fair, is it ok, does it work? and i'm not afraid to say so. to his fans, peter alliss was one of sport's most distinctive and endearing voices. and they say that the meek will inherit the earth. the man who captured the drama and humour... wonder if mum's put a bit of best butter there before he left. like no—one else. in a couple of minutes' time,

there won't be a dry eye in the house, including mine. peter alliss who has died at the age of 89. we can speak now to the former ryder cup captain sam torrance. thank you so much for being with us. what are your memories of peter alliss and why was he such a special commentator, a legendary golf commentator, a legendary golf commentator in this country? well, he was a great man, in many respects. his commentary, he took over from respects. his commentary, he took overfrom henry respects. his commentary, he took over from henry longhurst, respects. his commentary, he took overfrom henry longhurst, and he took the mantle over. to be honest, nobody ever got near him. he was magnificent, funny, always articulate uncapped you amused. we heard some clips, showing how funny heard some clips, showing how funny he could be in his commentary. he was no mean golfer himself? no, he

played in eight ryder cups, ten world cups, he was inducted into the hall of fame. the accolades, there are many. very entertaining. a great man to be with, great company and very thoughtful. when i started in 72, every tournament i won he used to write me a letter. it was beautiful and well received. he had a really technical knowledge of the game, obviously, having played at such a high level. do you think that was part of the reason that his commentary was so good? because he managed to combine the technical with the very light—hearted, as we heard in that report? absolutely, he knew it all and knew how to describe it, he knew the feelings. as he said himself, he wasn't afraid to say, if somebody were struggling, he could point it out. he would let people

give him stick for it. he didn't care, he was telling the truth. very important for the game, for the sport, to have such a great ambassador. millions of people around the country will have never gone to see golf themselves, but they will watch it through the television. he was the guide? yes, the programmes he did, the celebrity golf, wonderful entertainment. he was a household name for ever in britain, because of the shows, the masters, the great years doing that with him, everything, really. and the great golfers like yourself, what do they think of him? obviously we have been talking about it from a viewer perspective, how he was such a great communicator. it did the golfers have a great respect for him as well? absolutely. you would get a phone call out of the blue. i spoke to him not that long ago out of the

blue, he called me, i called him, just a chat about old friends, seeing if you are ok, especially in these times we are living in. the letters that he wrote to me meant so much to me. he was loved by everyone. really irreplaceable, actually, as we have been saying, the voice of golf. yes, yes. well, nobody ever got close to him. he will never be replaced. he will be fondly remembered. thank you so much for a remembering him with us, former ryder cup captain, many thanks for remembering the life of peter alliss. are we one step closer to discovering how life began? what looked like a shooting star landing in the australian desert was in fact a japanese space capsule carrying the first samples of rock from an asteroid — which could help explain the formation of the solar system as mark lobel reports. coming from right side and it is

getting brighter and brighter. entering the earth's atmosphere. that fireball on your screen moving from right to left is a closely watched space capsule whose contents could help explain the creation of our solar system. applause there was joy and relief at the japanese aerospace exploration agency's mission control as the soil sample sent from the japanese space craft hayabusa ii, part of a six—year mission, parachuted down safely in the australian desert. scientists are expecting about 0.1 of a gram will be returned for examination at their lab near tokyo from the asteroid ryugu which lies some 300 million kilometres away. they will measure the rock's age, what it is made of and how it is formed, potentially offering vital clues as to how the sun and planets came to be.

this one is special because this one is going to an asteroid that we think is really rich in organic material and water so in the very earliest history of the earth we think it may have been pelted with asteroids like that and that is what gave us the water and the carbon to form our oceans and to enable life to flourish on earth. it's an exciting prospect, after a successful landing following what one member of the space agency here described as a perfect mission — with many more to come. translation: i had jotted down the dates when the probe adjusted its orbit. if there is a hayabusa 3 or a or even 5, i would like to be involved in the mission. that next mission on this mothership, having launched its first capsule, will boldly go

examining near earth asteroids where no—one has gone before. you are watching bbc news. the changing face of the nhs over the last a0 years has been caputured in a series of photographs, taken by a former paramedic. chris porsz started his career as a hospital porter in 197a, before joining the ambulance service, and has spent decades snapping pictures of colleagues and patients. he's compiled them all into a book — as emma baugh reports. look this way. he's been capturing colleagues on camera for more than a0 years, charting the changes of the nhs. it's a thank you for decades of dedication, but most of all for this, most difficult of years. it's my tribute to the staff, the doctors, nurses, the cleaners, everybody. they've made an amazing

contribution, they've got us through this at great sacrifice, at great personal sacrifice. i've got the greatest of respect for them. it's been an incredibly difficult year. i'll be honest, we're dreading going through it again, the nurses, doctors, they're exhausted. and ijust make this plea to the public really, you can really help them. it's not too hard wearing a mask. we have to wear one for ten to 12 hours. kay preston has spent years caring for others and working through the pandemic. 12.5 hour shifts, it's a long day. but it goes really quickly and at the end of the day, you do feel that you've done something worthwhile. it's been hard work for everybody. the staff i know have done as much as they possibly can. they've felt tired but they've still been coming to work and hopefully this will soon be behind us. the tribute looks at how times have changed, but yet, how much has stayed the same. we've probably relied on one another to sort of help us

through the difficult, you know, phases like they're going through presently. i'm sure they need time to discuss things and support one another through the difficult times. my heart goes out to them. i think it's very difficult for them, i can't imagine the pressure that they're under because it's so continuous and so long. it's my beloved nhs, it's an amazing institution, the best in the world and we've got to look after it and protect it and i've been proud to serve it and i'm going to miss it. most of all, the message is, if you can be anything, just be kind. emma baugh, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello, there. it's been a chilly start to the day with a fairly widespread frost. temperatures down to about —a in a few spots. now, as well as that, we have seen some rain. rain has been moving

in across north—east england. it will become quite patchy as it pushes into the midlands and east wales. the best of the sunshine today across north—western areas, particularly for northern ireland. but there will be a few showers at times for pembrokeshire and also the isles of scilly, and frequent showers in the scottish borders and northumberland. overnight, further showers push in to eastern areas of scotland. the winds fall light. we will see some frost patches developing quite widely, with temperatures dipping below freezing and there will be some dense patches of fog around. so a foggy start to the day on monday and, with barely any wind to shift the weather around, it looks like some of that fog could well linger well into the afternoon. and where that happens, temperatures won't get much above freezing. the best of the sunshine across north—western areas, but turning cloudier late in the day for eastern scotland and eastern areas of england. a cold one coming up. temperatures, a—6 degrees.
