yes, it's just insane... having picked up a paintbrush for the first time earlier this year, xavier could not have imagined back then how art would change his life. since painting, ifeel like my mental health is so much better and to put it in the best way possible, i really feel reborn. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello there. it's been cold this weekend pretty much wherever you are, and we've seen increasing mist and fog and places which has been stubborn to clear. now, this upcoming week is going to stay cold for most of us, and certainly the short—term will see issues with mist and fog in places. and then by around tuesday onwards, low pressure will move in, that will turn more unsettled — not for all areas, for some of us.

now, for monday then, we start the new working week on a rather benign note, light winds again, cold wherever you are, and there will be some areas of mist and fog, very dense fog in places, it could be stubborn to clear, and if it doesn't clear, then it's going to be cold, temperatures hovering around freezing throughout the day. but then some brightness, we should see temperatures reaching around 3—6 degrees. start to see some changes though in the east, as this area of low pressure in the north sea start to post westwards, that will bring an increase in cloud and wind and rain to much of scotland and northeast england. now, the pressure chart for tuesday shows a bit of a change, this the low—pressure system affects the northern half of the uk, more isobars in the charts, so stronger winds. that's going to be windy for a time, certainly across scotland. we will have a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain for scotland, northern ireland, northern england and in towards parts of wales. some heavy bursts of rain in scotland and could see further snow over the hills. now, for southern england, particularly the southeast, here, you are further away from the area of low pressure, so probably the best of the sunshine.

that's going to be a chilly day, 4—8 degrees. now, this area of low pressure fizzles out quite quickly in situ across the uk on wednesday, could leave a legacy of cloud and a few showers. you see this weather front trying to make inroads across the country, but pushing up against that area of high pressure centred over scandinavia. so for much of wednesday it should be dry, again, slightly lighter winds. some sunshine around, but also a legacy of cloud and some showers for scotland and northern england from that area of low pressure. again, chilly day for most of us, 5—8 degrees. that frontal system in the west through wednesday looks like at this stage takes a dive southwards into the near continent. could bring some stronger winds, outbreaks of rain, maybe south wales into cornwall and devon and the channel islands. further north could see figure cloud in just one or two showers pushing into scotland. these will be wintry over the high ground, but i think for the majority of the country, thursday looks like being another largely dry day, quite cloudy and grey in places, could, the lucky ones,

could see a bit of sunshine. again, it's going to be on the chilly side. now, this next frontal system we are expecting on friday could make better progress eastwards across the country. that will bring stronger winds and outbreaks of rain. now, thejet stream looks like it will be taking aim to the uk towards the end of the week into the following weekend and into the next week. but it will be undulating, so we could be seeing areas of high pressure and low pressure, which will give changeable spells. the higher pressure will tend to dominate towards the east of the uk and lower pressure towards the west. that will feed quite a bit of cloud, strong winds, particularly into northern and western areas, but higher pressure never too far away over the near continent, where we will continue to have some colder air which could make inroads as we move into the following week. but it does look like a very changeable end to the week with spells of rain, stronger winds in the north and the west, some drier spells as well as those areas of high pressure dominating, and then signs that it turning a little less cold as we move out

of the following weekend into the following week. stay tuned to the forecast, still some uncertainty with it. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment with tony grew and caroline frost — first the headlines. the uk's chief negotiator is back in brussels to resume brexit talks — with time running out to do a deal eu sources say the 2 sides are nearing agreement on fishing. they say the level playing field — and how to enforce agreed standards are the remaining sticking points, according to the bbc‘s europe editor. however the uk government has responded, saying there has been no breakthrough on fish and nothing new has been achieved on this today. croydon university hospital becomes one of the first to take delivery of the coronavirus vaccine in the uk — with the firstjabs set

to be given on tuesday. obviously, i can't hold them in my hands, because they are —70 celsius, but i know they are here and we are among the first in the country to actually receive the vaccine and therefore the first in the world is just amazing. i'm so proud. closed for business afterjust one day due to overcrowding. nottingham's christmas market won't reopen this year. thousands of turkeys are to be culled after a second outbreak of highly contagious bird flu in norfolk. he's played it boldly up there. that could be, that could be magical. peter alliss there, the voice of golf, who's died aged 89.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are the journalist and broadcaster caroline frost and the parliamentary journalist tony grew. tomorrow's front pages starting with welcome to both, they both have the distinction of tweeting interesting hashtags. so in case of caroline, it's... lovely to have you both with us. now, just before they dig into the papers, let's bring you up—to—date on the front pages. trade talks between the uk and eu have been left on a "knife edge" — that's according to the financial times which says competiton rules remain a sticking point.

"frosty the no man" — is the metro's headline, referring to the uks chief negotiator lord frost, who the paper says is ‘ready to say no" to the eu if it breaches the government's red lines. a similar line from the daily mail, which says the prime minister has warned he will not sign a deal that would kerb the uks indepence. the guardian claims there has been a breakthrough on fishing rights — but says a deal with the uk now hinges on whether or not the uk remains tied to eu regulations. and angela merkel and president macron closed ranks and confronted borisjohson with a final offer, says the times. excuse me, forgive me for that. the paper adds that the french and german leaders have agreed to weaken european union demands for a so—called level playing fieldand finally the i leads on reports that acroydon hospital became the first to receive a delivery of covid —i9 vaccinatons — which came in time for

"v—day" the paper notes. right, let's begin. and just before i bring carolyn and tony in, welcome to both of you, good to have you with us. let me just very quickly give you a flavour of four of the front pages as they are at the moment on this all—important brexit you might college brexit d—day, i suppose, d—day, isuppose, tomorrow, because we're going to get another phone call tomorrow night between boris johnson, that will decide whether or not talks continue because they can be meaningful, although they are at that point abandoned. so, the metro, frosty the snowman. the photograph of david frost, the ft, interesting ta ke of david frost, the ft, interesting take on this on the financial times front page which says trade talks poised on knife edge as brexit persists, that's on both sides. it's the guardian however which we suspect is probably not been briefed

by the british government, but rather by sources at the eu. it says, break their own fishing rights as brexit talks hang in the balance, downing street was already rejecting suggestions that there was any kind of breakthrough today. the guardian on the brexit talks themselves, and then we have the male, which says bullish boris is ready to walk away. just as bullish, the french for bullish macron was ready to opt away we we re bullish macron was ready to opt away we were told over the weekend. tony, first of all, you spent a lot of your time trying to disentangle the briefing, the counter briefing, the spin on stories post office is the mother of all stories to spin, isn't it, what do you make of the sometimes contradictory information that the papers are giving us? well, it can be quite hard at times to work out what is performance art, which as we are going to work towards a deal but we have to have

all these crazies disagreements and arguments or whether in fact, it may well be out of reach. i mean, this stuff about fishing, it appears that the government denies that there is less contention around what the agreement around fishing will be. this is really important, by the way to french fishermen. similar with the uk, although they don't actually ta ke the uk, although they don't actually take upa the uk, although they don't actually take up a huge amount of gdp, there's a huge symbolism for the french in terms of their access to uk, unknow deal will mean that they don't have any access to uk waters. it's in the best interest of the united kingdom and in the best interest of the european union to come to a deal, but timing is really tight here. european council, the meeting of heads of government is due on thursday, and you know, the french are saying and president akron is making clear that if the deal wasn't good enough, he will veto it. the only positive thing i can say is that part of our conversations of brexit will come to an end. we will miss it, what we?

you don't have to answer that one. honestly commute do a lot of entertainment journalism community a lot of actors and performers, you report a lot on theatre, what you make of the political theatre of this weekend as reflected in the front pages? ijust find it astonishing that it's come down, as you say, to brexit eve, which we now sits on that these disagreements, this idea about leveling the playing field, but the fisheries, i mean come as you say, fishery is relatively small potatoes in comparison with the other things on the table, but it's come down to this, that cuts down to its heart what it means to be an independent state operating freely away from that you both for good and for bad orto that you both for good and for bad or to what extent we stay in. we have been talking about this for years, and the fact that it's come down to this, how much of it is this, as you say, you hinted, sean, that perhaps at least two of these papers are very much dealing with what british politicians would like their nation, the public to be reading tomorrow morning. what the

truth is, perhaps the guardian is a bit near the line there, but clearly, both sides have much to lose if the people walk away. but like any deal, henry kissinger said this, it's not a deal unless both people walk away from the table believing they have one. now, with that happens tomorrow, we will have to wait and see. that's the artifice i suppose, isn't it? both sides, both have to think they've won but they have to, it the —— convince the people around them that they've won, the voters, obviously, but more immediately their fellow politicians coming borisjohnson‘s immediately their fellow politicians coming boris johnson's case, immediately their fellow politicians coming borisjohnson‘s case, he has to convince conservative mps who have to vote for it if there's a deal. yes, boris johnson will have to convince conservative mps, and if we have a deal it will go through parliament very quickly, in a matter of days. i think boris johnson parliament very quickly, in a matter of days. i think borisjohnson may be brought down by the euro sceptics of his party come i think that's a bit oversold. i think that the prime minister has lots of new mps who are elected a year ago. he just wants to, sorry to use the phrase, but get

brexit done. so whatever youth he comes back with him although there we re comes back with him although there were probably be noises from some people, i don't think it will take a significant reputational hits or political hit by saying, in order to get the deal, we had to make some compromises. but i do think the level playing field, which is effectively the uk will have to abide by changing eu standards or face terrace is a real deal—breaker committee think that's probably where the focus should be is indeed, and if we end up with a no—deal, it will be over that issue, because that's an issue about the uk as a sovereign nation making its own decision. caroline, this is very interesting, isn't it? because i must admit, i hadn't picked this up at all, the suggestion that yes i understood the suggestion that we weren't going to undercut all that you —— the eu was worried that we would promptly slash various regulations, taxes and costs to businesses of other products and services could be cheaper and thereby undercut those on continental europe. what i hadn't appreciated was that you want the commitment that carries on into the

future. i mean, that is very hard to reconcile with the concept of a sovereign nation. i mean yes, we can freely give away that right, but that would be quite hard to sell, wouldn't it? oh, as i say, it cuts to the heart of the matter. you can see why that you are desperately trying to cling on. i mean them effectively, this is a divorce. now, they're just my problems come if it does say to the uk, yes, have your zero tariffs, have your zero quotas, go zero tariffs, have your zero quotas, 9° fly, zero tariffs, have your zero quotas, go fly, like a teenager that i'd been bringing up inbreeding and looking after her now i want to go out into the real world and have a wonderful life without me. mean to but this is effectively what boris johnson is hoping that it is england merkel, let's face facts, and the rest of the europeans are wanting to do for the uk. i think it's somewhat unrealistic and include them as welcome to the disincentives are, we will become a very nearby and effective competitor forget all of those things in our courts. also, it's not much of a disincentive to any other european country who may be flirting with the idea of following us down that independent path, so they have much, they have

nothing to lose by keeping hold that we are a big important trading partner. it ultimately comes down... it's night writer and his clone, who will blink and drive off the cliff? ina sense, will blink and drive off the cliff? in a sense, i suppose they both have to blink. it's interesting to me mention it to look mentioned angela merkel, it does suggest that angela merkel, it does suggest that angela merkel and emmanuel macron in the end are kind of coming into line with each other in wanting to gets a deal, maybe this just means that they will blink first. i know some but he once said, it's not fashionable to say anymore, it's not over until the fat lady sings in the case of the times, it's not over until the relatively svelte sayings. fortu nately until the relatively svelte sayings. fortunately come he was singing, it's a lovely photograph of him, lovely to see some live concert as well taking place. and that was dedicated to the oxford team that developed a virus vaccine, which come to me, sounds like a signal that we ought to move on from talking about brexit. we will have

another opportunity to do that in the next hour in our papers at 11:30pm. let's look, that was the times, let's look at the front and we will come back to vaccines, let's look at the front of the guardian again. this is the story, caroline, this is a really depressing story, isn't it? it's been running for some time. using ids of dead children, having to do with undercover police officers, some of whom we know ended up officers, some of whom we know ended up in sexual relationships and even fathering children with women who had no idea what their realjob was. this digs deep, probably into historical archives into some of the mets historical archives into some of the m ets m ost historical archives into some of the mets most dusty files in the basement and has come back to haunt them. so i think we probably should say that these policemen did incredibly dangerous jobs and taking ona incredibly dangerous jobs and taking on a false id is part of that danger that they put themselves and for the protection of many people in this country, so they have great ethical principles, but there are victims in this process, and i think this is

the problem that these victims families, i mean, some people are just reading some of the minutia, the examples are of children who died at birth, so they existed for a short sad time in this world, and those ids have been taken because they exist somewhere, so that's probably quite a low hanging fruit for anybody wanting a false id for either good reasons or bad. but, if you are the family, the bereaved, traumatised family to discover that not only have you lost somebody, but then this has happened, and you haven't been informed and given your consent than that starts to create huge doubts. and of course, it funds as well to a lack of transparency which the met has been facing down on every front in recent years. tony, it is a running story, but the guardian has very good reason for keeping this story prominent, doesn't it? because it's done a lot of work on this over the last few yea rs. they have. and it appears the police have plunged to new depths. what concerns me about the story isn't that there are individual undercover

office rs that there are individual undercover officers who decided to do this, they are senior leaders in the metropolitan police who knew about this and who said that this was the right thing to do, and what deeply concerns me about that is the lack of accountability, that this is an issue that we constantly find with the police, which is that senior office rs the police, which is that senior officers who took these decisions, andl officers who took these decisions, and i don't see any administer office rs and i don't see any administer officers admitting to mistakes, it's interesting, one of the devolution rate of reforms that came in under the labour government in the 1990s was initially to have directly elected mayors giving them some responsibly for the police, because in london at least, it was the case for over 100 years that the commission of the metropolitan police answer to nobody but the home secretary and would pop into the home office for a glass of whiskey and iron out any difficulties. other parts of the country had police authorities, but they were made up indirectly elected, theresa may comes along and has elected police and crime commissioners, but still there is a sense, the word you used from account ability, or rather lack

of with the police. and neither of those measures seems to have eliminated the problem. no, please inquire don't do crime commissioners need reform. they were elected, people were going to have that account ability through the ballot box, but i think less than 20% of voters who vote in police and crime commission elections, so having proved to be some sort of huge democratic accountability process, and in terms of london, i don't agree that the mayor of london should have this sort of responsibly over the police connecticut should bea over the police connecticut should be a separate person, because being the mayor of london takes up quite a lot of your time, and the point is that these are police and crime commissioner aspects isjust that these are police and crime commissioner aspects is just one that these are police and crime commissioner aspects isjust one of the many responsibilities that the mayor has. ed, thank you very much. let's move on. the police and crime commissioners something that theresa may introduced when she was home secretary, it's not a labourerfrom but labour did make the mayor of london responsible for the police and, although not operational managers which still remain the responsibly for the commission of the mets, because london has two

lee's forces. one of the city as well. let's look at vaccines, since i mentioned them, caroline, this is a cheery site, isn't it? they in quite rapid in christmas paper, but they could've done for the photographers on the eye. i don't think this has done boris johnson any harm that this has coincided with all of this brexit brouhaha. . brouhaha. so coincided with all of this brexit brouhaha. so a very cheery picture. the actual boxes, we also we wouldn't believe it until we saw the pictures of the vaccine arriving, well, there is a picture on the front of the eye of those very boxes being unloaded out of a van and delivered into creighton hospital in this case. but yes, this is part of what matt hancock is calling the end of those blasted lockdowns, and this is really hopefully, at least the beginning of the into go churchill on you and i'm hoping it will make everybody feel a bit better and more adherence to some of these ghastly lockdown protocols and procedures and regulations and limitations on

family life that we are all suffering, at least seeing that there is a reason for us to carry—on and to stick to our guns and just keep that our rate down as low as possible until these vaccines reach right owners. we could trade churchill quotes all night, it may not be the beginning of the end, but it might be the end of the beginning. that's the problem, isn't it, tony? it is still a long process. you can start vaccinating people on tuesday, but you're still going to have to be social distancing, wearing your masks, having lockdowns well into the spring. look, the uk had to go into a second lockdown is because this test track and trace the system doesn't work properly so the government has to use this blunt tool of telling everyone to stay in their house to try and deal with the rise in cases of the virus, but of course, rise in cases of the virus, but of course , vaccines are rise in cases of the virus, but of course, vaccines are really good news. course, vaccines are really good news. particularly interested and impressed by the oxford virus which can be stored in a normal fridge. it

will probably cost around £3 of dose, and that will make alongside the pfizer virus, the one being rolled out this week, will make a huge difference. so i'm confident that life will be relatively back to normal by the spring, but as you know, we are in the middle of winter, spring is three or four months away. so there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, and the concern, of course, is that with the concern, of course, is that with the restrictions being relaxed over christmas, that may lead to a spike in cases in january, christmas, that may lead to a spike in cases injanuary, so let's hope that doesn't happen. caroline, more good news, this time on the front of the times, this story i haven't seen anywhere else, but that does me to saveit anywhere else, but that does me to save it isn't anywhere else come about care homes, because there has been this concerned about particularly because of the pfizer vaccine from all the pfizer now says you can actually keep it for two or three days, i think i'm a possibly longer come at a higher temperature, basically, this —70 degrees temperature which has been transported from belgium, that might have kibosh the vaccine being possible to be given in care homes. we've had to kind of ship people to

hospitals to be vaccinated which would be idealfor some very hospitals to be vaccinated which would be ideal for some very frail and vulnerable people, but it looks like the times things, actually, that problem isn't going to arise. that's the best news we've had all year, particularly after the scandalous occurrence that happened in the first lockdown when we discovered that people were being transported back to care homes from hospitals and of course, the innumerable tragedies that then befell ca re innumerable tragedies that then befell care homes, particularly in this country and have contributed to those huge numbers. i think they are among the most vulnerable of our society, and as you say, it's only good news. and i would think it's probably, it won't be any bad thing that boris johnson probably, it won't be any bad thing that borisjohnson knows that they are at the top of his priority. i think this is going to need as many government eyeballs wanted to make sure that they don't suffer any more double levels of vulnerability going forward. tony, the front page of the financial times, photograph of... and may not be that much longer that donald trump can, and the front pages quite in the way he has done

over the last four years, but he is doing pretty good raising money judging by this story. he may be president outgoing, but the cash is still coming in. yes, i mean, you know, he's an amazing grifter, what cani know, he's an amazing grifter, what can i tell you, he's lost the presidency and is still claiming that the elections been stolen from him and as you say, raising a huge minor money. the point about donald trump as he is going to find out that there he is not the next president, i think one entire president, i think one entire president has ever won reelection. i think his chances of being reelected are incredibly slim. no matter how much of a hope he has over 25% of the american electorate some at the stage for my think republicans would be insane to even think about choosing him again in 2024. you know, but as i say, he's about to find out what it's like to be a former somebody, and i think it will bea former somebody, and i think it will be a big issue for his ego. i'm still fascinated to know where the trump presidential library is going to be located and what it will be like. i think that could be quite a

day. it will probably be a federaljail by the way things are going. allegedly. caroline, we have to end with you with an entertaining story. the front of the yorkshire post. the crown which has been getting in the neck, or should i say the coronet over the last few days from some of those who lived through the events that are currently being portrayed in the 1980s, who think it should have a health warning. yes, this has been very strange. we saw the crown promote what seems like years ago, it was only actually a fortnight ago, and in that time, we have had the backlash various royal insiders saying that it was not accurate, it's incredible he unfair to prince charles and the duchess of cornwall, we then have the backlash to the backlash for goodness' sake and it's just a backlash for goodness' sake and it's justa drama, backlash for goodness' sake and it's just a drama, then we have a culture secretary clearly weighing and having had a small royal footprints pressed on his footprint and ask for this to scream having personal correspondence with the likes of netflix, the top people. and they have, quite rightly said no, this is

not required. the world is intelligent enough to work out what is good, what is bad. obviously, the royal family is good, what is bad. obviously, the royalfamily when is good, what is bad. obviously, the royal family when so bothered when the fictional moments of the queen telling winston churchill off back in the 1950s when it showed her in a good light, that was ok fiction wise, but when things weren't so favourable in the diana years, that's when the royal footprints came out. so yes, i think this is quite healthy. obviously come to the debate will continue to wage, but at the moment, at least netflix is standing firm in saying this is our programme, we made it, we tell you what's required to know about it. are you still watching from caroline? i binged in just are you still watching from caroline? i binged injust a are you still watching from caroline? i binged in just a few hours. tony? blueback yeah, i finished it. iwasn't hours. tony? blueback yeah, i finished it. i wasn't that impressed with it, i thought it was better when it was the 1950s, but such an absurd story. i mean, the arts in this country are facing unprecedented crisis, and this clown once this from netflix to claim that fictional programmes don't have disclaimers think this is a fictional programme. it's absurd. tony, carolyn, thank you so much,

never knowingly undersold, we are great for you both to do that. we will see you at half past 11. i will see you sooner come up i will be back with the latest headlines in the national and international news is we arejoined the national and international news is we are joined by bbc world news. to stay with us. fog and frost for some of us early on monday morning, particularly across southeastern parts of england, east anglia as well. some of that fog could actually linger right into the afternoon, so it's going to be really chilly across this part of the world. this is the forecast for the early hours. you can see it's actually largely dry across the uk, just a couple of little showers scattered around here and there. pretty low temperatures for some of us, —2, minus three degrees. then during the course of the day, you can see how that grey misty murky foggy weather lingers there across parts of the southeast

and east anglia. many of us in for quite a sunny day, so liverpool, belfast, glasgow, much of the western isles there enjoying some sunshine. now, wet weather is on the way. this is a low pressure originating from the north sea. it will grow into an opening good, but particularly scotland and bring some rain and mountain snow monday night into tuesday. and it stays fairly nippy through most of the week.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the uk's chief negotiator is back in brussels for more brexit talks, but there are still some big stumbling blocks to be cleared, if a deal is to be reached. we're going to see what happens in negotiations today and we will be looking forward to meeting our european colleagues later on this afternoon. donald trump says his personal lawyer rudy giuliani has tested positive for coronavirus. growing up in a war zone — the children of yemen tell us what it's like to live through what's been described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster. and how a drive—through light show is helping brazilians celebrate the magic of christmas in the midst of a pandemic.
