the european union and united kingdom have finally reached a post—brexit trade deal after months of disagreement. both sides hailed it a success. the european commission president ursula von der leyen described it as a "good, fair and balanced deal". she said she hoped for a continued close relationship. prime minister borisjohnson said the uk has "completed the biggest trade deal yet", adding, "we have taken back control of our money, borders, laws, trade and our fishing waters". the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the clock is no longer ticking and expressed his relief that a deal has been agreed. and the traditional midnight mass is underway in bethlehem — only this year the public have to stay away because of the coronavirus. let's take a look back now at some of the lives we celebrated

you know, it's like i don't know that i'm breaking rules because i don't know what the rules are. we won't be there when you cross the road, so always use the... green cross code. i almost got the sack from the government because they thought that my image as darth vader would have a detrimental effect on my image as the green cross code man. you are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor. take her away. could you explain this to me? what? this, this stuff on my plate. it's your dinner. i know it's my dinner, but could you identify the various heaps? very well, listen, blackadder.

10:41 pm
last week? the lady in a public library that said that the billy bunter stories were unfit for children? yes. that's her. you see, you have much less to do now that your prime minister. you no longer have a department of your own. everything you have always read in the press about how hard the prime minister has to work is a bit of a myth, really. put out by the press office as a matter of course, but if you think about it, what do you have to do? chair cabinets? two and a half hours a week. there must be more to it than that! of course, you'll have to read all the briefs and we will rush you from place to place shaking hands with people. other than that, there are lots of things people want you to do and do, and many things you can do, but very few things you have to do. after all, it's up to you.

10:43 pm
we are the goodies. yes, we know that. and we are going to do good to people. we had it tough. i used to have to get out of a shoe box at midnight, lick road clean, eat a couple of bits of gravel, 23 hours a day in the mill for a penny every four years, and when we got home, dad used to slices in half with a bread knife. hello, mrs rogers! hello! i must be in the wrong house! they can't get the fire brigade, will the boys' brigade do? now, you listen here. he's not the messiah, he is a very naughty boy! now go away. who are you? i'm his mother, that's who! not only bad, but mad. trenchearous, vindictive,

megalomaniac and vein. you shot them with rubber bullets and gas. they were marching over there, the leaders were going to speak to you and before we even got there, you opened fire. there is not a single injustice in northern ireland today that justifies the taking of a single human life. today, we can take a collective breath and begin to blow away, let's hope, the cobwebs of the past. # give peace a chance... dave, which british artist's work was featured on the cover

10:46 pm
playing, but i can't play. bobby can play. he's a creative player. but there's a place in the game for both types. nobby stiles in a movement which... ..clashing with geoff hurst. i used to walk over the bridge of old trafford as a kid and imagine that the tannoy was going to announce that they were a player short and ask me to play. can he get a shot in? there is the shot! to go down there and walk down there and play manchester united is unbelievable. i have never seen nobby stiles like this before! that was a supreme save. trying to get there... oh, what a save!

10:55 pm
i know what it means to see somebody that looks like you and i played a hero and a villain, you have the freedom to be both things. i should be glad to contemplate the clouds clearing beyond the dormer window and the high tide reflected on the ceiling. there will be dying but there is no need to go into that. the poems flow from the hand unbidden and a hidden source from the watchful heart. the sun rises in spite of everything. and the foreign cities are beautiful and bright. and i hear cities are beautiful and bright. and ihear in cities are beautiful and bright. and i hear in a riot of sunlight,
10:56 pm
watching the daybreak in clouds fly, everything is going to be all right. # there will be bluebells over... this was the girl from east ham we never had the opportunity, if she hadn't been singing two of my mother hadn't been singing two of my mother hadn't put me on the stage...” hadn't been singing two of my mother hadn't put me on the stage... i want to go somewhere where there isn't any entertainers. they said burma is the only place. # roll out the barrel... # we'll meet again. # we'll meet again. # don't know where...
10:57 pm
# don't know where... # but # don't know where... #but| # don't know where... # but i know we'll meet again some sunny day... cheering and applause hello. the weather is giving us a calm and mostly dry interlude for christmas day. a very chilly start with a touch of frost in places but a fine day for the most part with spells of sunshine. where we had showers across eastern scotland and england there is the potential for ice on untreated surfaces in the first part of the morning. certainly a chilly start with temperatures well below freezing, so a frost in many places. but that means a fine and a sunny start for most. still some of the showers draped across the eastern side of england, a fairly brisk wind here and showers for parts in the west of cornwall but much of england will see spells of sunshine
10:58 pm
and a bit more cloud into the northwest later. northern ireland and scotland, things clouding over and rain into western scotland and the wind strengthening and that is where we will see the highest temperatures. pretty chilly day elsewhere. heading to christmas day night into the early hours of boxing day, you can see more in the way of cloud and some rain and more of a breeze, not such a cold start today on boxing day. most places well above freezing but boxing day will generally be a cloudy good day with some rain around and some quite heavy and persistent rain getting going across parts of western scotland into northern ireland later. the winds really starting to pick up here and it will be a milder day for most. but this will be taking us into quite a rough spell of weather through saturday night. it comes courtesy of this area of low pressure. it has been named by the met office, storm bella, it will be have heavy rain with flooding and also. a really strong winds
10:59 pm
a met office warning already for parts of southern england in south wales. 70 to 80 mph wind gust but across england and wales in the far south of scotland we will see wind gusts of 60 mph. a lot of rain through saturday night into the early part of sunday morning. that could cause flooding. most of that rain will clear during sunday morning. the brightest skies but showers too and with colder air digging in some of those showers will turn wintry. top temperatures between two and 7 degrees. that is all for me. happy christmas.
