with just minutes to go, rangers had a chance to win it... ..but the spurs keeper was equal to the shot. a draw might not please the fans, or the managers, but it certainly eases the pressure on them both. ange postecoglou shook his head as he walked off the pitch at ibrox. not how the former celtic manager wanted his return to glasgow to go, and the pressure is heaped upon him because tottenham now go back to london with just one win in eight games. rangers, on the other hand, may feel they should have won that match, but their attention now turn to domestic matters because they are in the final of the scottish league cup on sunday and they play celtic. and if you want to continue watching the bbc news at ten, please turn over to bbc one or you can watch on iplayer. next, it's newsnight.

a former portuguese prime minister has a top eu job. portuguese is of course the uk's oldest ally. —— portugal. an early step in the reset, but there are two core elements. you have some interesting intelligence in a moment from what is happening behind the scene is. so, those two core elements. number one, keir starmer�*s red lines. they are still in place. no membership of the single market, the customs union, and no to freedom of movement. the second element is, let's have a conversation with the eu about deepening relations and security, that is defence, safety of citizens, that is law enforcement, and finally on trade. so why don't wejust look at how and finally on trade. so why don't we just look at how this reset will pan out over the next 18 months? if we look at the top there, keir starmer has accepted an invitation to attend an informal retreat of eu leaders in brussels early february on defence. the significance of that is, keir starmerthinks

on defence. the significance of that is, keir starmer thinks because the uk is one of the defence giants in europe, we have got a big offer, and the idea is, that challenges the puritan, the european commission, who see if you want a lot of sovereignty, you can't have a lot of access to our markets, and then early in the new year, there will be the first uk — eu summit. that early in the new year, there will be the first uk - eu summit.— the first uk - eu summit. that is interesting. _ the first uk - eu summit. that is interesting, because _ the first uk - eu summit. that is interesting, because that - the first uk - eu summit. that is interesting, because that could l the first uk - eu summit. that is| interesting, because that could be as early as march, and in that, what i am hearing as early as march, and in that, what iam hearing is, because as early as march, and in that, what i am hearing is, because there is a lot about what they don't want, but they will have to start talking right now about what they do want to diplomats and to business. some suggestion that we could get from that a joint political declaration and a mandate from the eu from their 27 members, and then a sort of negotiation that is across a series of issues, whether that is access to trade, a veterinary deal, perhaps goods alignment too, but also what the eu want to put on the table, which is things like fisheries in some sort of youth exchange programme. but it sounds a little bit like the 2018 type of process

that we thought was ongoing. and interesting that the uk want to get a move on, because they want to get a move on, because they want to get ahead of the state, january the 1st, get ahead of the state, january the ist, 2026, get ahead of the state, january the 1st, 2026, when you have the start of the first five yearly review of the implementation of the trade and cooperation agreement which governs our relationship with the eu. and then 30th ofjune 2026, that is the end of the uk— eu transitional deal on access to fishing waters. what happens with fishing waters? always a row, always tricky. we saw the european council president inside number ten with the prime minister. as he arrived, our colleague from gb news, christopher hope, had some for him. you'll reset the _ relationship with europe? what's the plan? very good to see you. bring back freedom of - movement, prime minister?

outside, we have still got to confront the prospect of mass migration, the fact that we have had very little productivity gains and very little productivity gains and very little productivity gains and very little economic growth, and that is a pan—european problem. that is not being solved by being in the eu or out of it. but is not being solved by being in the eu or out of it.— eu or out of it. but there is a sort of middle — eu or out of it. but there is a sort of middle ground _ eu or out of it. but there is a sort of middle ground here _ eu or out of it. but there is a sort of middle ground here where - eu or out of it. but there is a sort of middle ground here where you| of middle ground here where you could deal with some of the goods... i suppose some in your party don't acknowledge that the brexit deal did inevitably create goods trade barriers. you could negotiate that. there is a general acceptance now our gdp _ there is a general acceptance now our gdp will be 4% less than it would — our gdp will be 4% less than it would otherwise be because of brexit — would otherwise be because of brexit. we are not going to turn the clock back, — brexit. we are not going to turn the clock back, but you have got to accept — clock back, but you have got to accept that. that means we have to loosen _ accept that. that means we have to loosen the — accept that. that means we have to loosen the trade up, and no one is denying _ loosen the trade up, and no one is denying all— loosen the trade up, and no one is denying all the other factors which are challenging the economy, which we also _ are challenging the economy, which we also have to deal with, but actually, — we also have to deal with, but actually, getting out of europe really — actually, getting out of europe really damaged living standards for people _ really damaged living standards for people. this really damaged living standards for
