hello, i'm kasia madera. you're watching the context on bbc news. the eu agrees a massive free—trade deal with south america despite fierce opposition from european farmers and defiance in paris and rome. we will be speaking to a farmer directly identified with this. sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin. thank you very much indeed. we're counting down to the merseyside derby between liverpool and everton on saturday. it'll be arne slot�*s first since taking over at anfield from jurgen klopp. his side are seven

points clear at the top of the premier league, but he says this derby has even more importance than usual with it being the last one at goodison park. it is going to be special for everyone, for all the fans involved, and the players involved and also the managers. to be part of this game is already special, and to be part of the last one at goodison park makes it probably even more special. but it is only a nice experience is the result goes your way. that is where we are focusing on most for this game. ruben amorim suffered his first defeat as manchester united manager against arsenal on wednesday. they're currently 13th in the premier league table, but could move into the top half with a win against nottingham forest on saturday. despite this, amorim says he is seeing improvement. sometimes when you are doing progress, you do so much and then you see itjust this kind of result. and we have to pass this phase, so i can feel the same way.

because before this arsenal game, you guys were asking about the top four, and now we return to this position. so nowadays it's like that. you have to manage expectation, and at the same time, when you have a bad result, you have to be calm and continue to do the job that we are doing. as you may have seen in the weather forecast, storm darragh is heading for the uk this weekend, and that means that domestic football matches in wales scheduled for tomorrow have been postponed. the welsh rugby union have also opted to postpone all domestic rugby matches. the english football league game between cardiff city and watford in the championship is off as well. the football association of wales took the decision after consultation with the met office, which has issued red, amber and yellow weather warnings for the vast majority of wales and is forecasting damaging winds and heavy rain. plymouth have also called off their game against oxford with weather warnings in england, too. now, there's been plenty of drama ahead

of the final formula 1 race of the season already. the latest — charles leclerc has been given a ten—place grid penalty at the abu dhabi grand prix. the ferrari driver was quickest in first practice, but he had to have a new battery pack fitted, taking them beyond their permitted allowance for the season. it's a major blow to ferrari, who trail mclaren by 21 points in the constructors�* championship with a maximum of 44 points available. lando norris was quickest in second practice. and two days after leaving ineos grenadiers, great britain's tom pidcock has joined the 036.5 pro cycling team. he's signed a three—year contract and willjoin his new team for a preseason training camp in spain injanuary. the double olympic champion, who retained his mountain bike title in paris this summer, left ineos despite signing a five—year contract in 2022. and day two of the second test between new zealand and england gets under way in a couple of hours. a harry brook century gave england the upper hand on day one. the tourists lost early wickets, but brook then took control, continuing his

excellent form on overseas pitches, hitting 123 from just 115 deliveries. ollie pope also made 66 as england were bowled out for 280. new zealand struggled in reply, brydon carse taking two wickets. and that's all the sport for now. we will have more a bit later on, see you then. gavin, see you then, looking forward to it, thank you. the european union and the mercosur bloc of south american countries have agreed the terms of a free—trade deal which has been two decaded in the making. the deal was announced by the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, at a ceremony in the uruguayan capital montevideo. if ratified, the agreement — with uruguay, brazil, argentina and paraguay — would create one of the world's largest trading blocs, with more than 700 million citizens and nearly 25% of global gdp. much like the us—mexico—canada free—trade agreement, its goal is to reduce tariffs and trade barriers, making it

easier for businesses on both sides to export goods. ursula von der leyen said it represented an historic milestone. this is a win—win agreement. europe is already mercosur�*s second—largest investment and trade partner, so you know how we do business together. we're focused on fairness and mutual respect. eu—mercosur will bring meaningful benefits to consumers and businesses on both sides. and the agreement still faces hurdles. it's opposed by countries including france, poland and italy, where farmers fear being undercut by cheap agricultural imports. young belgian farmers staged border blockades on thursday in protest at the deal. there've been similar blockades by french farmers in recent weeks. environmental campaigners also oppose the deal, warning it'll accelerate

deforestation in the amazon. it's a really tragic day for nature and climate. it's been 25 years of negotiations behind closed doors with public concerns being sidelined over and over again, and what we see is an agreement that results which will increase the flow of beef and pesticides all across the world. and it's going to be really a disaster for the amazon rainforest and for the climate. italian farmers are also opposing this deal. we can speak to one of them. massimiliano giansanti is president of confagri coltura, which represents farmers across italy. and you also run farms in rome and parma. welcome to bbc news. the list while you work so concerned about this deal. hello to everybody from rome. so hello to everybody from rome. 50 we _ hello to everybody from rome. 50 we are — hello to everybody from rome. 50 we are very— hello to everybody from rome. so we are very worried - hello to everybody from rome. so we are very worried about.

of a party atmosphere. but they are growing in size. they are once again calling for his impeachment, and in the next 2a hours, a vote will be held in the national assembly, which is just a few hundred metres from here. now, today, we've heard some extraordinary accounts of the night that he declared martial law. we have heard from the leader of his own party, who said that he had to be removed for the safety of the republic of korea. he said that he's seen new evidence that president yoon had planned to round up the members of parliament and have them detained in a prison. we've also heard from the intelligence services that president yoon had given orders to round up the members of parliament to tie up loose ends. now, this relates to the fact that this is a president who is was desperately trying to grip onto power. deeply unpopular and struggling

to gain the support of his own party, it does seem, given the evidence that we've heard, that he wanted to somehow use martial law to overrule his own national assembly. so what we're seeing over the last few hours is a build—up of pressure on the president himself, but he is showing no signs that he wishes to resign. earlier, there were rumours within the national assembly that he was going to come, going to apologise and going to resign. at that time, the members of parliament blockaded the door, linked arms, calling again for him to be impeached. he did not show up. there is no sign so far that he's going to speak publicly. meanwhile, as you can see, the number of people who are coming out to try to call for him to be removed is increasing, and we're expecting these crowds to grow in the next 2a hours ahead of that impeachment vote.

welcome back. a giant sinkhole that forced residents from their homes in wales earlier this week has got even bigger. it was already five metres wide and around ten metres deep when it appeared in merthyr tydfil on sunday. now, with storm darragh expected to bring more wet and windy weather, residents hoping to return to their homes this weekend have been told they'll have to wait a little longer. here's hywel griffith. day by day, the problems deepen, as everyone searches for a solution to this spreading hole. the first cracks emerged on saturday. by sunday, 29 homes were evacuated. an army of engineers moved in to stop water flowing underground. idris had been told

he could return home today, but storm darragh has sunk those plans. homes are still without power. they have said a couple of days, but you never know, do you? so you've got to prepare, perhaps for the worst. preparing for the worst. you seem to be taking this in good humour. i think what you have to realise is that when people were evacuated, there was nobody who was seriously injured. so, yes, we haven't got a house, a bungalow to live in, we're not in our usual place, but we're all safe. the scale of this operation is staggering, but what they are trying to do keeps changing because of the weather. initially, these cranes were brought in to lower a little digger into the hole to clear it out, but the high winds put paid to that and now they're trying to get a pipeline in there to cope with all the water they expect to flow over the weekend.

it's yet another headache for the council as they try to reassure people their houses are secure. i think for residents looking at it as well, they'll be thinking their properties are going to go, or, you know, it's got to be in the back of their minds. not least for the owners of this house, the bungalow at the brink with a disappearing driveway. ruth and simon had been renting it out to friends. as the last couple of days, the sinkhole has gotten i larger, hasn't it? mm—hmm. and the water is coming in. so there is that fear...? there is a fear. ..it could all fall in. it could. i think that's...you know, anyone would fear. and i think the neighbours feel exactly the same. the hope is some of those neighbours will return before christmas, but the crater has already ripped up many festive plans. hywel griffith, bbc news. that aerial shot is absolutely extraordinary. our hearts go out to that owner of the bungalow on the brink. to warn

you, the next pictures we are going to show you do have flashing images so if that does impact you, please just be aware that we have some flashing images coming up. and this is the live shot that we are monitoring right now of tblisi in georgia, where once again protesters are out on the streets. this is the ninth night of protest in the georgian capital with those pro—eu protesters once again out on the streets, and this is following that announcement by the ruling party georgian dream, that they are going to be postponing, delaying accession talks and in the premise or going out and saying that's not the case actually, they won't be suspending them. but obviously that is not being heated by the protesters, who are really concerned about this idea that georgian dream, the party in government, is leading

georgia more towards the kremlin, more towards a pro—russian direction, whereas in fact in the georgian constitution, it is embedded in the constitution that georgia will be making advances towards joining the european union and alsojoining nato. so once again, those nightly demonstrations taking place on the streets of the capital and in other streets and in other cities across georgia, and it all follows earlier on georgian opposition leader being dry from his party office by police. and there have been others who were physically attacked, so these protests are peaceful protests what we are seeing but we do see every now and again water cannon being used and we do see tear gas being dispersed as well. so these nightly demonstrations are being held after georgian dream said it was halting the

country's bid to start those talks on joining the country's bid to start those talks onjoining the eu. initially they had said that they were suspending these talks until 2028. then the prime minister came out and said that actually, no, they were not suspending them, but i do say whatever is being said, the protesters are concerned, they are worried and once again it is the middle of 1533 00:22:21,627 --> 00:22:2
