this is bbc news with the latest headlines. talks resume in brussels with both sides warning they're unlikely to reach a post—brexit agreement by tomorrow's deadline. four royal navy patrol ships are being put on standby to help protect britain's fishing waters in the event of a no—deal brexit. world leaders are holding a virtual climate summit to lay out their plans for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. the us regulator authorises the pfizer biontech coronavirus vaccine. donald trump says it'll be rolled out immediately. and how are trips to see santa changing, as we prepare to celebrate christmas in a pandemic? we'll be finding out at 2.30pm, in the travel show.

good afternoon. with one day to go until the brexit talks deadline set by the uk and the european union, both sides are warning a deal is unlikely. it comes as the ministry of defence said that as part of no—deal contingency planning, four royal navy boats are on standby to protect british fishing waters. our political correspondent helen catt reports. in brussels, negotiators are now back round the table once again, but not for much longer. tomorrow night remains the deadline for deciding if a trade deal can be agreed or not. overnight in kent, a test run. this concrete barrier was being laid along the motorway to deal with this, the potential for lorries to be

delayed at the ports. there will be some checks at the border injanuary whether there is a trade deal or not, but other plans specifically for no—deal are more controversial. four royal navy ships are on standby to protect british fishing waters. the ministry of defence say it's part of extensive preparation for a range of scenarios, but it sends a not—so—subtle message that the uk is ready to go it alone. the scottish government has called the move gunboat diplomacy which will not be welcome in scottish waters, and others have also raised concerns. we need to be building alliances, not breaking them apart. the advent us administration is wanting to rekindle western resolve, reenergise an international alliance and take on our adversaries, like russia and china, and here we are actually arguing with a close military european ally. the eu has sent its own message in the final hours of the talks, with leaders rejecting boris johnson's attempts to meet them individually, a public show that they are sticking together as one.

the uk has already left the eu. the next few hours will decide exactly what happens next. helen catt, bbc news. kevin connelly is in brussels. are they actually really talking? we think they are, sean, but we can't be entirely certain about that. the point was made to me last night, actually, that one interesting point about all of this is we are talking about all of this is we are talking about all of this is we are talking about a 600 page document, a potential agreement which is a 95, 90 7% agreed, according to some irish politicians, and yet we don't really know what the final sticking points really are, or to what extent the two sides can really fix things now by going backwards and forwards over those points. you know, a lot of that sort of mood music you were

hearing from helen there, done boats in the channel, foreign leaders, angela merkel and emmanuel macron are not taking phone calls from borisjohnson, that are not taking phone calls from boris johnson, that feels very are not taking phone calls from borisjohnson, that feels very hard ball, doesn't it? but here is the problem. that is what you would do if you thought there was no chance for a deal, you would start preparing for the worst in the future, but it is also what you would do if you thought there was going to be a deal and she wanted to extra ct going to be a deal and she wanted to extract the very last possible advantages at the last possible moment in the talks, and honestly, the number of people, sean, who really know what is going on, in terms of which of those two scenarios is playing out, is very small, and frankly, i'm not one of them. you're not, and i'm certainly not one of them. in terms of the practicalities of this, do we know what form of conversation boris johnson will have on sunday, and

when it will happen? we don't. they have met face—to—face in the last week, they have had several critical telephone calls, and helen was quite bright in her report to say that tomorrow was the deadline it is possible, that borisjohnson might say we've made progress, what's the point of stopping now, we've made a little bit of progress, let see if something can't be salvaged. it is not certain they will say the whole free trade negotiations are over, it is not certain they will say they are going on either, we really don't know, does depend a bit on what happens in talks in the coming days, and it also will be very important, interns and setting the mood for the future, because people shouldn't think that when these free trade negotiations are over that that is the end of it. the european union is

already thinking about how to get the uk back to the negotiating table next year. there is no free trade agreement, this year. so, don't expect a bust up, expect some kind of civilised management of whatever they decide between stopping talking for the moment or keeping going for a little bit in the hope that a deal is yet to be done. kevin connolly in brussels, keeping his phone switched on all day and night, i suspect. there was almost a site there. you could hardly blame him. let's speak to david henig, uk director at the european centre for international political economy and a former uk trade negotiator. thank you for talking to us. if you we re thank you for talking to us. if you were sitting in lord frost‘s chair right now, or even michel barnier‘s chair right now, would you feel there was any purpose to what you would do? well, it also depends on

what kind of decisions have been made by the leaders whether i have any further scope to move. i think both sides do still desperately want to deal. i don't think we would be talking at all if we didn't want to deal, but they have reached stalemate, so i guess it is going through the subjects again, seeing whether there is any pathology that all in different ways that perhaps haven't been gone through yet, that is what we know, neither side wants to walk away yet, and that should at least give us a little bit of hope, still, that they could be a deal. this isn't a definite no deal situation. because a lot of people are looking at the practical aspects of this and saying, hang on a minute, we have heard from emmanuel macron as president of france, very public message and a strong message to his country was like fishermen and communities that we are not prepared to give up our share of the

fish in what will become our british territorial waters but will now be —— no longer be governed by the common fisheries policy by the ist of january. but if there is common fisheries policy by the ist ofjanuary. but if there is no negotiation in the talks end, those boats will be patrolling the waters and they won't be able to get at those fish. that is the kind of logic of what kevin was saying as well, as what you are saying, it makes no sense to walk away. well, even worse, the uk would still want to sell the fish back to the eu. so, there is a logic here, but on the other hand, present macron knows that he is probably going to, the french fleet will catch less fish in a deal situation, and he needs to go to them and say, not only did i do my best but the uk have to abide by very strict rules, this is where the rules coming in, so there may still

bea rules coming in, so there may still be a case that actually the eu could agree to a little bit more fish being caught by uk fleets. both sides are likely to have a little bit that they have left over that could be used to ease a deal, if the fundamentals can be overcome. the fundamentals can be overcome. the fundamentals appear to be these fair competition clauses, the level playing feel, where there is absolute stalemate. that could be unlocked, you would think a deal could be done but at this stage it is that where there seems to be a lot of gloom and no real prospect of movement. so, in the end, we are either being played and there is a great deal of talking going on and there are already phone calls going backwards and forwards between the principles to ensure that the negotiators can make the movement thatis negotiators can make the movement that is needed, or really genuinely this, which could be theatre, is actually the reality. i think this is the reality, i don't think there is the reality, i don't think there isa is the reality, i don't think there is a secret game going on whether

negotiators came to a deal two weeks ago and they are just annoying us now. i think they really are stuck, i think they really hope they can find some how, from somewhere, that key that unlocks this. they haven't found it yet, to the best of our knowledge, but while they are still talking, there is always a positivity they suddenly find it, suddenly there is a breakthrough and before we know it, there is a deal, which is while there is still talk, there is still the prospect of a deal. there is also a problem, presumably, in that you can't wait for somebody to have a brilliant idea at the 59th minute of the 11th hour, can you? well, that is right. we are more or hour, can you? well, that is right. we are more oi’ less hour, can you? well, that is right. we are more or less out of time, business feels there wouldn't be enough time to take an agreement and actually implement it fully by january the ist, these things take normally months to implement, not the 19 days we have left. so, these are all the reasons why we don't think the deal is coming, that, you

know, you can't really do a deal on the 31st of december and have it implemented on january the ist, the 31st of december and have it implemented onjanuary the ist, that is not how these things work. so, the deal may be not to do a deal now but hopefully to do one a few months‘ time? but hopefully to do one a few months' time? i think the sides will try to keep cordial and civil and keep talking throughout, and if they go to keep talking throughout, and if they gotoa keep talking throughout, and if they go to a point of no deal but aim to get somewhere, to keep talking, i don't see that either side wants to stop talking completely, so i think the talking may go on but it may get to be too late for a january the ist in fermentation, and which case, we are going to face a race between the uk and the eu. thank you very much. you never know, we may be talking again this weekend. for now, thank you.

from january ist, british citizens visiting any eu country or switzerland, norway, iceland and liechtenstein will face some changes. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent, sarah corker, answers some of the key questions about travelling to the continent. with the promise of mediterranean sunshine, spain and france have been the top destinations for millions of british holiday—makers for decades but, from january, the rules on travelling to the eu will change, and that's thrown up lots of questions. if you are a tourist, you won't need a visa to travel to most eu countries, but there are limits on how long you can go for. you will be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling six—month period, but it does all add up, so a summer holiday in greece followed by an autumn half—term break in france will count towards your 90—day limit. you can still use this. your current passport is valid as long as it's less then ten years old and has six months left before it runs out.

travellers are also asking if it will cost more to use mobiles. free roaming in the eu will officially end. the good news is that the noise being made from the top four providers is that they won't be imposing huge roaming charges, but i would always suggest you check with your provider before you go. and what about health insurance? free medical treatment in the eu won't be guaranteed. from the ist of january, travellers can no longer rely on the european health insurance card, which will make it more important than ever that they have full travel insurance when they venture to the eu and beyond. and how will people be able to take their pets on holiday? from 2021, eu pet passports will no longer be valid. the government has applied for great britain tojoin a shortlist of countries where cats, dogs and ferrets enter the eu in a similar way to now but, if the uk doesn't make that list,

then the rules get more complicated and you may need to get a certificate from the vet. so, when beach holidays are back in 2021, british tourists will need to make sure they aren't tripped up by the new rules. sarah corker, bbc news. the government has announced that it will end direct support for overseas fossil fuel projects. the commitment comes as the uk hosts a virtual climate summit with 75 world leaders. it marks five years since the adoption of the paris climate agreement, as our chief environment correspondent justin rowlatt reports. l'accord de paris pour le climat est accepte. there were celebrations when a global deal on climate was finally done in paris five years ago today. for the first time, the whole world agreed that all nations need to play their part in keeping climate change to 1.5 celsius.

the only problem was the commitments made in paris weren't enough to do the job. in fact, until this year, c02 emissions have been steadily rising. in paris, world leaders agreed to get together every five years to try and up their game, raising their targets for cutting emissions. thanks to the covid—19 pandemic, world leaders will be gathering virtually today. boris johnson, the uk prime minister, will be chairing the meeting from a room here, and the uk has said only those countries which are offering a big commitment will be allowed to speak. china, the eu and india, as well as around 70 other nations, made the cut. brazil, russia and australia won't be attending. so lovely to have you with us... the un chief told the bbc last week it is not too late. we face an emergency,

but i have hope. advances show what we can do, from rescuing the ozone layer to expanding protected areas. mindsets are shifting, led by young people. he says nothing less than the future of our planet is at stake, so the hope is countries will bring bold targets to the table. that will make getting a really ambitious global deal on cutting emissions in glasgow next year much more likely. justin rowlatt, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... one day left to secure a trade deal — talks resume in brussels with both sides warning they're unlikely to reach a post—brexit agreement by tomorrow's deadline. world leaders are holding a virtual climate summit — to lay out their plans for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. the us regulator authorises the pfizer biontech coronavirus vaccine — donald trump says it'll be rolled out immediately.

despite the pandemic, 2020 has seen a dramatic increase in palestinian homes demolished by the israeli authorities. some 900 people lost their place to live — the biggest number in years. palestinians often build in eastjerusalem and parts of the west bank under full israeli control without permits, saying these are almost impossible for them to get. among the buildings still facing demolition orders, there are many palestinian schools. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell reports. within seconds, a home is gone. and here, another. this has been a record year for israeli demolitions. with all the misery they bring. but in this bedouin village, they're rebuilding.

last month, bulldozers arrived and more than 70 people had just ten minutes to grab what they could. even the sheep lost their pens. this man believes israel wants to drive them out of the jordan valley, which palestinians want as part of their own independent state. translation: this turned our lives into hell. we had a two—day—old baby. even that family's shelter was demolished. they spent a night under the rain, and it's all because of the israeli occupation. this mother of three won't speak on camera, but tells me life is harder than ever. it's notjust people here. hundreds of palestinians have lost their homes this year because the israeli authorities say they built illegally. and what they all have in common is that they live in areas that

are especially sensitive in the israel—palestinian conflict. the israeli military says this land is a firing range that it uses for training so it's not safe for palestinians to live here. in another village we visit, there are tensions with nearbyjewish settlers. its new school is the best chance local children have to study, and they're keen learners. this class is about the struggle for palestinian statehood. but the school itself could soon be history. it has a demolition order, as it was built without an israeli permit. translation: we were worried about the future of the school from the start. but if we dwelled on that, we'd never have made progress. we carried on so that we could give these children the chance of an education, which is a basic right. many countries say destroying this school would violate

international law. let's go over to the virtual climate summit. urge -- surge of scientific optimism because after 12 months of the pandemic, we are seeing the vaccine go into the arms of the eligible —— the elderly and the vulnerable. each and every one of them, vast international efforts in laboratories around the world. so, my message to you all is that together we can use scientific advances to protect our entire planet, our biosphere, against a challenge far worse, far more destructive than coronavirus. and by the promethean power of our

invention, we can begin to defend the earth against the disaster of global warming. and by that, i the earth against the disaster of globalwarming. and by that, i mean that together we can reduce our emissions, we can radically cut our dependence on fossil fuels, we can change our agricultural practices and in short we can reverse the process by which the centuries humanity has been quilting our planet in a toxic tea cosy of greenhouse gases. and at the same time, we can create hundreds of thousands of jobs, millions time, we can create hundreds of thousands ofjobs, millions ofjobs across the planet, as we collectively recover from coronavirus. and if you doubt our ability to do that, let you tell me that when i was a child of six, this country depended on coal for 70% of oui’ country depended on coal for 70% of our energy country depended on coal for 70% of oui’ energy needs country depended on coal for 70% of our energy needs and that co—dependency is now down to 3% of less —— or less, and since 1990, the

uk has cut our co2 emissions by a3p -- 4396, uk has cut our co2 emissions by a3p —— 43%, more than any other g20 nation, and yet our economy has grown by 75%. today, we are putting oui’ grown by 75%. today, we are putting our foot to the axilla trade —— accelerator in a carbon friendly way, of course, with a ten point plan for a green industrial revolution. we want to turn the uk into the saudi arabia of wind power generation and have enough wind power to supply every single one of oui’ power to supply every single one of our homes with electricity, while going ahead with massive solar programmes, even though we cannot hope to emulate the incredible things done by india, australia, or morocco. hydro, we are liberating the awesome potential of hydrogen, whether for homes the awesome potential of hydrogen, whetherfor homes or all the awesome potential of hydrogen, whether for homes or all sorts of other uses. on electric vehicles, we are going to ban internal combustion engines, new internal combustion

engines, new internal combustion engines by 2030, with a very ambitious programme. we will continue to develop nuclear power, we wa nt continue to develop nuclear power, we want to lengthen the lead of london and the uk as the natural home of green fine and, we want our homes to be progressively emitting less and less co2 with more and more retrofitting of our homes, and whatever uk may be accused of lagging in, we won't be lagging, my friends, lagging. we want to encourage all modes of green transport. and the relatively new miracle of carbon capture and storage, to take carbon from industrial processes and bury it in undersea caverns created by the extraction of hydrocarbons, and we are now consecrating 30% of our waters, 30% of our land surface to nature, because we think that

nature, because we think that nature, wild nature, is the best and most effective way of retaining carbon ina most effective way of retaining carbon in a natural balance. and we do all these things because they are right for the world, they are right for our country, but also because we know that these green industrial revolutions will generate, as i say, hundreds of thousands of high skilled, high—paid, good quality jobs for generations to come. we are going to help our friends around the world by moving away from supporting drilling and mining for hydrocarbons but putting £11.6 billion of our overseas aid to support green technology and decarbonisation across the planet. we want to work with all of you on this, let's do it together, let's make it our collective commitment, as antonio has just collective commitment, as antonio hasjust said, to collective commitment, as antonio has just said, to get to net zero by 2015, and we in the uk, we are going

to do our bit, we will reduce our emissions over the next decade, and iam emissions over the next decade, and i am awed and humbled by the efforts of other countries around the world to set their own targets. i just wa nt to to set their own targets. i just want to repeat that key message, we are doing this, we are doing this not because we are hair shirt wearing tree hugging each coat freaks, though i've got nothing against any of those categories, we are doing it because we know that scientific advances will allow us, collectively, as humanity, to save our planet and create millions of high skilled jobs, as we recover from covid. so, thank you for joining this conference, thank you to set cultural —— secretary general antonio, and to my co—host emmanuel

macro who i know she has my keen interest in protecting the ecosystems of our seas and oceans, andi ecosystems of our seas and oceans, and i look forward to seeing you all in glasgow, face—to—face, in november next year. thank you very much. that was boris johnson, the prime minister, addressing the climate summit. we see him setting the scene for a later stage climate negotiations which will take place in glasgow in 2021, and are messages today, not least of course on the fa ct today, not least of course on the fact that britain. funding foreign projects that involve the use of climate damaging energy generation, that announcement was made overnight to provide a bit of a drum roll for the prime minister's speech today. what is also interesting is a deliberate and quite intentional snub to countries that are felt not to be playing their part in the collective campaign against climate change. so, government is not invited include those of australia

and russia and also, you will have noted there in that, warm words to emmanuel macro —— emmanuel macron, macron taking the call from prime minister borisjohnson macron taking the call from prime minister boris johnson about macron taking the call from prime minister borisjohnson about brexit but wise to keep on good terms with him. let's take a look at some of the latest news on coronavirus. community testing programmes are to be rolled out in 67 councils under tier 3 restrictions in england, more than 1.6 million rapid turnaround tests will be provided, in an effort to reduce cases. pu bs, restau ra nts and cafes across much of central western scotland are reopening after three weeks — venues in 11 council areas must still close by 6pm and cannot sell alcohol under the country's level three restrictions. wales's health minister vaughan gething has warned the country faces an incredibly serious situation as infections continue to rise. he said the government could break the agreement to allow families to mix over christmas,

but said such a measure would raise huge issues about trust in government. us regulators have approved the pfizer—biontech coronavirus vaccine for emergency use. president trump said the first vaccinations will take place in less than 2a hours time. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. hello, it is looking drier, clearer for a time overnight i , you have seen some rain today, and where you have seen some sunshine, some rain heading as the night goes on. very wet across parts of eastern scotland, especially into aberdeenshire, the rain turning lighter and more patchy as we get into the evening and night. but here is the next weather system coming our way, which will bring another speu our way, which will bring another spell of rain for all of us as we go through sunday. this is how things are looking through the evening and into the night. still some cloud and patchy rain the further east you

are, not will but will stay in parts of north—east scotland. for many of us, dry and clear and clear and patchy foster round, a few fog patches developing that later in the night, temperatures heading up, as we see the neck spell of rain moving in and with a freshening wind as well. that will spread northwards and eastwards across the uk as we go on through sunday. we will all see some rain at some stage of the day, some rain at some stage of the day, some heavier births as well, northern ireland will gradually brighten up into the afternoon and they will be further heavy showers. it is going to be a windy day for all of us, these are average speeds, we'll get gusts of around a0 mph or so on exposed coasts closer to 50 mph. on the chilly side. milderfor some of us in the west as temperatures get to 12 13 perhaps even 1a celsius. sunday evening, fairly heavy showers following the rain as we go into monday, it stays

blustery with low pressure close by, the isobars close together on this chart, so monday will be another windy day, if anything it looks even windier across the northern isles, they will be some sunshine on monday but they will be a few heavy showers following in. some of those showers we re following in. some of those showers were quite heavily towards the north and west in particular but all parts have a chance of seeing some showers spreading eastwards as we go on through the day and again on these very blustery winds. but even when temperatures have been in single figures over the weekend, many of us will be leaping back into double figures offset somewhat of course by the strength of the wind and the chance of finding yourself getting caught ina chance of finding yourself getting caught in a heavy passing shower. looks like the wetter days in a week ahead will be on wednesday and friday, this is where we will see the wendy's weather as well but throughout the week it looks as though temperature will stay on the mild side of average. goodbye.
