0:00:08 > 0:00:12for the crucial next stage, including intial talks about trade.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15for the crucial next stage, including initial talks about trade.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17A handshake seals the agreement on the divorce bill,

0:00:17 > 0:00:19the Northern Ireland border and EU citizens' rights.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24Getting to this point has required give and take on both sides,

0:00:24 > 0:00:27and I believe that the joint report being published is in the best

0:00:27 > 0:00:29interests of the whole of the UK.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Smiles for a real continental breakfast after talks

0:00:31 > 0:00:33through the night.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37But a warning too of what's to come.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41We all know that breaking up is hard, but breaking up

0:00:41 > 0:00:46and building a new relation is much harder.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48We'll be looking in detail at what's been agreed

0:00:48 > 0:00:49and what's been left out.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Also tonight...

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Clashes in the West Bank pit Palestinians against Israeli

0:00:55 > 0:00:56soldiers during protests against Donald Trump's

0:00:56 > 0:01:00recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

0:01:07 > 0:01:12The anorexic teenager whose death could have been prevented,

0:01:12 > 0:01:16failed by every NHS organisation that should have cared for her.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19The changing face of television - are the newcomers stealing the crown

0:01:19 > 0:01:21jewels of traditional broadcasters?

0:01:21 > 0:01:24And snow across parts of the UK causes chaos on the roads,

0:01:24 > 0:01:27and there's colder weather on the way.

0:01:30 > 0:01:35Coming up on sports day on BBC News, British and Ireland Lions captain

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Sam Warburton will miss the six Nations. The Wales international had

0:01:39 > 0:01:42knee surgery ruling him out of the tournament.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Good evening.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Stage one is done.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Next stop - the beginning of talks about our future

0:02:03 > 0:02:06relationship with the EU - including trade.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08After through-the-night negotiations, a deal was struck

0:02:08 > 0:02:11first thing this morning between the UK and the EU on key

0:02:11 > 0:02:15areas including the Irish border and the divorce bill,

0:02:15 > 0:02:19which Downing Street says will amount to between £35-£39 billion.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Now, the UK can at last move on to the next stage of talks.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25But the head of the European Council sounded a warning -

0:02:25 > 0:02:28so much time has been devoted to the easier part of

0:02:28 > 0:02:30the negotiations, he said, now comes the hard part.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has more.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38While most of us slept, when hardly a soul was stirring, the residents

0:02:38 > 0:02:41of Downing Street were up.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Late-night calls.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Then, at 4:07am, onto the plane.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53Theresa May, travelling...

0:02:53 > 0:02:56while Jean-Claude Juncker was pacing, waiting,

0:02:56 > 0:02:59in so many ways, for the UK.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03And then, touchdown.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Ready?

0:03:04 > 0:03:08Ready if you are.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Taking their places for the moment, after three days of cajoling,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13compromise and criticism.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Good morning!

0:03:16 > 0:03:20It was a good morning for Theresa May.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24A deal to pave the way to Brexit round two,

0:03:24 > 0:03:29the jargon she had longed to hear.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Sufficient progress has now been made on the strict

0:03:31 > 0:03:34terms of the divorce.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37This was a difficult negotiation for the European Union,

0:03:37 > 0:03:42as well as for the United Kingdom.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45After breakdown on Monday, blocked by her allies

0:03:45 > 0:03:49at home, a huge weight off the government's stressed shoulders.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I very much welcome the prospect of moving ahead to the next phase,

0:03:52 > 0:03:55to talk about trade and security, and to discuss the positive

0:03:55 > 0:03:57and ambitious future relationship.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Are you going to be celebrating, Mr Barnier?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00No.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01Cracking open the champagne? We're still working, no.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Still more work to do, OK.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05No celebrations for either side.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08No champagne.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10For the negotiation, we have to bring water.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Water.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16There have been many compromises, and more to come.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19The agreement implies it will cost between £35-£39 billion

0:04:19 > 0:04:22to settle our accounts as we leave.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25There is no final figure, and it could be more,

0:04:25 > 0:04:26but paid over many years.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Both sides say Brits who live elsewhere in the EU,

0:04:30 > 0:04:32and European citizens who live here, will have their rights protected.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35And, crucially for Tory backbenchers, the role

0:04:35 > 0:04:39of the European Court will be limited.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42There is a promise there will be no hard border in Ireland

0:04:42 > 0:04:45between North and South, a vow their rules and regulations

0:04:45 > 0:04:48will be aligned if there is no big trade deal.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51And a time-limited transition period as we leave.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53We're not making any comment, thank you.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56But what about the DUP, who had so embarrassed

0:04:56 > 0:04:58the Prime Minister on Monday?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00She needs their votes in Parliament, and this week

0:05:00 > 0:05:01they squeezed some concessions.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04But in the early hours, Theresa May made the decision to crack on,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07even though they weren't quite sure.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12There are still matters we would have liked to have seen clarified.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16We ran out of time, essentially.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19We think that we needed to go back again and talk about those matters,

0:05:19 > 0:05:22but the Prime Minister has decided to go to Brussels in relation

0:05:22 > 0:05:28to this text, and she says she has done that in the national interest.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32The Leader of the Opposition, speaking at the UN today,

0:05:32 > 0:05:35was even less impressed.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37This could have been done some time ago.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42The referendum took place in 2016.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47We're now right at the end of 2017.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51This is the first time there has been any sign of any movement to go

0:05:51 > 0:05:52on to phase two.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55But Tory relief washed over social media, the Cabinet falling over

0:05:55 > 0:05:57themselves to praise their boss, and notable by their absence,

0:05:57 > 0:05:59most Tory Brexiteers.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02The ultimate arbiter, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04The real criticism, from this man.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Remember him?

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Amazing, isn't it?

0:06:09 > 0:06:12The British Prime Minister flies through the middle of the night

0:06:12 > 0:06:14to meet unelected bureaucrats who pat her on the head,

0:06:14 > 0:06:17they say you have met our demands, made sufficient progress and can

0:06:17 > 0:06:19move to the next stage.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24The whole thing is a humiliation.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27As one of the Brussels brokers was keen to point out,

0:06:27 > 0:06:32reaching the next deal to shake on will be harder still.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Let us remember, the most difficult challenge is still ahead.

0:06:35 > 0:06:42We all know that breaking up is hard.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46But breaking up and building a new relation is much harder.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48But round here, there is no jubilation, more

0:06:48 > 0:06:51like thank goodness, because these negotiations

0:06:51 > 0:06:54are intertwined with the Prime Minister's fate.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56The talks stumble, so does she.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00The talks muddle through, and so does she.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Had there not been this deal at dawn, there would have

0:07:03 > 0:07:07been serious rumblings about Theresa May's future.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09With progress comes breathing space, but there

0:07:09 > 0:07:13is compromise, plenty of it.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17And with that comes winners and losers, and no real guarantees.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Getting this far and keeping the peace has strained

0:07:19 > 0:07:21this street already.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23The Tory divisions have not disappeared.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27But agreeing anything has been an achievement.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29For tonight at least, a little goodwill.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37So what exactly was agreed in the small hours this morning

0:07:37 > 0:07:40between the UK and the EU, and what does it mean?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Chris Morris from the BBC's Reality Check team takes a closer look.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47A breakthrough in the Brexit negotiations for sure,

0:07:47 > 0:07:51but it's worth emphasising that this is only an agreement that sufficient

0:07:51 > 0:07:55progress has been made on issues relating to the UK's withdrawal.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59It locks in the progress made so far, but at the same time

0:07:59 > 0:08:02emphasises that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04And the toughest talks are still to come.

0:08:04 > 0:08:10This is not the end, but it is the end of the beginning.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14And we will remain fully engaged and vigilant throughout phase two,

0:08:14 > 0:08:17the drafting and ratification of the new treaties that will be

0:08:17 > 0:08:22required between the EU and the UK, and their implementation.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26So how has the benchmark of sufficient progress been reached?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Well, on the Irish border, the hope is that a future free

0:08:29 > 0:08:32trade agreement will mean many of the concerns about a hard

0:08:32 > 0:08:34border simply melt away.

0:08:34 > 0:08:39But as a backstop, if all else fails, the UK has promised

0:08:39 > 0:08:42to maintain full alignment with EU single market and customs rules that

0:08:42 > 0:08:44govern trade across the border.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Exactly how that will be done isn't entirely clear,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51but you certainly can't have partial membership of the single market

0:08:51 > 0:08:53and the customs union.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56On citizens' rights, it's been agreed that the cut-off

0:08:56 > 0:08:59date for an agreement on the rights of EU citizens in the UK,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02and UK citizens elsewhere in the EU, will be the day

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Brexit actually happens.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09In other words, some people yet to arrive could still qualify.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12There will also be a potential role for the European Court of Justice,

0:09:12 > 0:09:17directly for eight years and indirectly thereafter.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20The number of legal cases it's likely to cover is very small,

0:09:20 > 0:09:22but some Brexiteers won't be entirely happy.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Nor are some campaigners for citizens' rights,

0:09:23 > 0:09:28because many details have yet to be resolved.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33And then there's the financial settlement, the divorce bill.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35A method for calculating it has been agreed.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38It will be paid in euro.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41But technical negotiations will continue on various aspects,

0:09:41 > 0:09:44including when and how the money gets paid.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48How much is the final amount likely to be?

0:09:48 > 0:09:51We'll probably never know for sure, but UK sources say the equivalent

0:09:51 > 0:09:54of up to £40 billion.

0:09:54 > 0:10:00While some EU sources still think it will be higher.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03So, what's next?

0:10:03 > 0:10:06The priority will be to agree upon the terms of a transition

0:10:06 > 0:10:08period for about two years after Brexit.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11The EU says that means the UK staying in the single market

0:10:11 > 0:10:13and the customs union.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16But government says that's not how it understands it at all.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19It is very clear that more challenging negotiations lie ahead.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23Chris Morris, BBC News.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Our correspondent Adam Fleming is in Brussels tonight.

0:10:27 > 0:10:33What's the response been there in Brussels and among EU leaders?

0:10:33 > 0:10:38We will find that out when they gather in a week's time for a summit

0:10:38 > 0:10:41when they will rubber-stamp the documents handed by the EU's

0:10:41 > 0:10:46negotiating team at the European Commission. Today, a personal

0:10:46 > 0:10:49political Triumph is how the president of the commission

0:10:49 > 0:10:56Jean-Claude Juncker describes Theresa May's predawn visit here.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Now the initial talks are settled, the next stage will be done in a

0:11:00 > 0:11:04slightly more friendly, constructive and slightly less adversarial way,

0:11:04 > 0:11:09they hope. The next up in the New Year will be talks around the

0:11:09 > 0:11:12transition deal. Around here they call it the full Monty minus. Full

0:11:12 > 0:11:17Monty because it will see the UK follow most EU rules and

0:11:17 > 0:11:21regulations, without having a seat at the table. While those rules and

0:11:21 > 0:11:24regulations are decided and applied. In the spring they will start

0:11:24 > 0:11:29talking about the shape of a future partnership on trade, defence,

0:11:29 > 0:11:34security, terrorism, climate change, you name it. What European officials

0:11:34 > 0:11:37are desperate for is for the British government and Cabinet to sit around

0:11:37 > 0:11:42the Cabinet table and have a big discussion on what they want the

0:11:42 > 0:11:46future relationship to look like. But here they are a little bit

0:11:46 > 0:11:51worried that the discussion with Northern Ireland, diverging scum

0:11:51 > 0:11:54convergence or realignment, it could be tricky have that debate will go.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59Just back divergences, convergence.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02And our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is here.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07This is a good day for Theresa May. She has had a very rocky time. Just

0:12:07 > 0:12:11the fact she has agreed achievement is a big positive. And if it hadn't

0:12:11 > 0:12:15gone this way then there would have been real serious rumblings about

0:12:15 > 0:12:19her future. But there has been plenty of compromise, and compromise

0:12:19 > 0:12:24in this kind of deal always means an element of fudge. A lot of the

0:12:24 > 0:12:28really tricky things have been delayed, deferred, put into the

0:12:28 > 0:12:31future and the next phase of talks that will consider the issues in

0:12:31 > 0:12:36more detail. It's important to remember that using the jargon in

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Brussels, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. The things

0:12:39 > 0:12:42that have been concluded in this text, this document, they will not

0:12:42 > 0:12:46amount to anything if the whole deal isn't done. So this agreement on its

0:12:46 > 0:12:52own doesn't have the legal status, really.Another bit of EU jargon,

0:12:52 > 0:12:57the full Monty minus, what happens next?In the short term for Theresa

0:12:57 > 0:13:01May, she still has to get the EU legislation through the House of

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Commons before Christmas. That will be a big fight on its own. When we

0:13:05 > 0:13:09get into the talks about trade and transition, the fundamental clashes

0:13:09 > 0:13:13between the EU, and the UK, and fundamental differences inside the

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Tory party and even around the Cabinet table, at some point they

0:13:17 > 0:13:21will have to be settled. In political terms that's going to be

0:13:21 > 0:13:26the real challenge. The document published today had 15 pages in it,

0:13:26 > 0:13:32and plenty more compromises than that inside the pages. The ambiguity

0:13:32 > 0:13:35inside the document has allowed them to get to this point, but it's going

0:13:35 > 0:13:40to be extremely difficult to move on. But for the government this is a

0:13:40 > 0:13:44real sign of relief because if it hadn't happened, things could have

0:13:44 > 0:13:46looked distinctly bad.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Israel has carried out air strikes against targets in Gaza,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52injuring ten people, after Palestinian militants fired

0:13:52 > 0:13:54a rocket into Israeli territory.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Two Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli security

0:13:57 > 0:13:59forces during a second day of protests in the West Bank

0:13:59 > 0:14:02and Gaza against Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem

0:14:02 > 0:14:03as Israel's capital.

0:14:03 > 0:14:08Our Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, reports from Jerusalem.

0:14:08 > 0:14:13Palestinian protesters confronted Israeli security forces on the roads

0:14:13 > 0:14:18leading into all the big towns on the West Bank.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Plenty of people had warned that US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's

0:14:22 > 0:14:24capital would lead to bloodshed.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28It has.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31One dead, and many wounded, across Gaza and the West Bank.

0:14:31 > 0:14:36That's the land Palestinians want for a state, with

0:14:36 > 0:14:43a capital in East Jerusalem.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44This is our land.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Palestinian, all Palestinian is our land.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Mr Trump, you are wrong.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Most Israelis are delighted President Trump has

0:14:55 > 0:14:59accepted their reality.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03He said, "We are steadfast here, eternally here since ancient times.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06"This city was given to Jews 3000 years ago.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11"We are the continuation and the US has recognised that".

0:15:11 > 0:15:14But the golden dome behind him is part of the third holiest place

0:15:14 > 0:15:17in the world for Muslims.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20And a few hundred yards away, several thousand

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Palestinians were going home after the noon prayer.

0:15:23 > 0:15:30The reality of this city is that many Palestinians live here.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Life can be hard for them.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Saleh's home has been demolished twice this year

0:15:36 > 0:15:37by the Israeli authorities.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40They give Palestinians very few building permits,

0:15:40 > 0:15:45while constructing thousands of homes for the Jews.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49I born in this land, and my father and my grandfather.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52And I will die in this place.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55I will not leave it, not for Israel, not for Jews,

0:15:55 > 0:16:00and not for the United States.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Palestinian areas of Jerusalem were quieter after Friday

0:16:03 > 0:16:06prayers than many expected.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Whenever a crowd formed, mostly of onlookers rather than protesters,

0:16:09 > 0:16:11the police broke it up.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Mr Trump's declaration is a big challenge for

0:16:13 > 0:16:16the Palestinian national movement.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19It will turn into a big defeat for it as well if the Palestinians

0:16:19 > 0:16:24aren't able to organise a coherent challenge to what's

0:16:24 > 0:16:28happened, and to build on all the international

0:16:28 > 0:16:31criticism there has been.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Israel feels on the up.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36It's been given American presidential recognition in this

0:16:36 > 0:16:38city, without mention of occupation and without, so far,

0:16:38 > 0:16:42a single concession in return.

0:16:42 > 0:16:48Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Jerusalem.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50At least 14 United Nations peacekeepers have been killed

0:16:50 > 0:16:53and more than 50 injured in an attack on their base

0:16:53 > 0:16:55in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58The UN said the peacekeepers were from Tanzania.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02Five Congolese soldiers were also killed.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05The attack took place in North Kivu province in the east of the country,

0:17:05 > 0:17:08where several rival militia groups are fighting for control.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Our Africa Editor, Fergal Keane, is here with me.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12You've just come back from Congo.

0:17:12 > 0:17:18What's the background to this?

0:17:18 > 0:17:23Well, the UN has for some time been a target in eastern Congo because it

0:17:23 > 0:17:27acts in support of the Congolese government. The real context behind

0:17:27 > 0:17:32this, even though the ADF, who are behind the attack our Islamist, it

0:17:32 > 0:17:38is not like Al-Shabab in Somalia. The real contest is a deeply

0:17:38 > 0:17:41unpopular government clinging to power, whose President, Joseph

0:17:41 > 0:17:46Kabila, has gone beyond his two term limit. You have a sense among

0:17:46 > 0:17:50warlords, militia groups and wider civil society, that the endgame is

0:17:50 > 0:17:56beginning. You have jockeying for power. Congo is a mess. More than 4

0:17:56 > 0:18:00million people displaced. At the same time, you have a UN

0:18:00 > 0:18:04peacekeeping force of 20,000 which they are now cutting down by 3000,

0:18:04 > 0:18:08under pressure from the Trump Administration, which wants to

0:18:08 > 0:18:13reduce peacekeeping costs. This, when violence is on the rise. I have

0:18:13 > 0:18:17seen in many parts of the country how UN peacekeepers, the very people

0:18:17 > 0:18:21who were attacked last night, are the only people who stand between

0:18:21 > 0:18:26the ordinary citizens who are being relentlessly attacked, and the

0:18:26 > 0:18:28actions of militia groups, warlords and security forces of their own

0:18:28 > 0:18:33government. So this could not come at a worse time.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35A state of emergency has been declared in California

0:18:35 > 0:18:37where wildfires have been raging for five days, destroying

0:18:37 > 0:18:39hundreds of homes.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Over 5,000 firefighters have been battling the blazes,

0:18:41 > 0:18:48which stretch from Los Angeles up to Santa Barbara County.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Averil Hart was 19 when she died, just weeks after leaving

0:18:51 > 0:18:52home for university.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57She had a history of anorexia and today the health service

0:18:57 > 0:18:59ombudsman concluded that she had been failed by every

0:18:59 > 0:19:02NHS organisation that should have cared for her.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Her death, he said, could and should have been prevented.

0:19:04 > 0:19:11Our Health Editor, Hugh Pym, reports.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15Her family remember her as fun and outgoing, and Averil Hart,

0:19:15 > 0:19:18who was 19, had recovered enough from her eating disorder

0:19:18 > 0:19:21to go to university.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25But when her condition got worse, she was failed by the NHS.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Her death was avoidable according to an official report.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34This picture was released by her family.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Next week, it will be five years since Averil's death,

0:19:36 > 0:19:39her family's been campaigning since then for answers

0:19:39 > 0:19:42about her care and treatment.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45I still can't believe that I've lost my daughter through just

0:19:45 > 0:19:50a catalogue of disasters, really, in the NHS.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Averil collapsed after her anorexia deteriorated.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55But at hospital in Norwich, her condition wasn't

0:19:55 > 0:19:57recognised as urgent.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59She wasn't seen by experienced doctors.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02She was transferred to Addenbrooke's in Cambridge, but even

0:20:02 > 0:20:07with extremely low blood sugar levels, she wasn't treated properly.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11She suffered brain damage and had a heart attack.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13The ombudsman's report said, "Every NHS organisation involved

0:20:13 > 0:20:17in her care mist significant opportunities to prevent

0:20:17 > 0:20:21the tragedy unfolding.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23The subsequent responses to Averil's family were inadequate and served

0:20:23 > 0:20:27only to compound their distress."

0:20:27 > 0:20:29The Department of Health said it was investing

0:20:29 > 0:20:31in eating disorder services, but some argue more

0:20:31 > 0:20:35needs to be done.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Eating disorder services have been really Cinderella specialty,

0:20:38 > 0:20:41and that may be in part because I think that

0:20:41 > 0:20:43eating disorders have been trivialised for a long time,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46despite being really very serious illnesses.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Four different NHS trusts involved in Averil's care have now

0:20:49 > 0:20:57apologised to her family.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00When this is all finished, I want to go away and grieve for Averil,

0:21:00 > 0:21:02and connect with her again, and maybe have some therapy.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05But there's been such a task to get the truth

0:21:05 > 0:21:08and to try to prevent other deaths, that at the moment,

0:21:08 > 0:21:09everything is on hold.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11# To make you feel my love. #

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Hugh Pym, BBC News.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15The Crown is thought to be one of the most

0:21:15 > 0:21:17expensive dramas ever made, at a cost of about

0:21:17 > 0:21:19£50 million a series.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21The latest series of the Netflix drama about the Queen's life

0:21:21 > 0:21:23has gone online today.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25It comes at a time when Netflix and other streaming services

0:21:25 > 0:21:28like Amazon and Apple are ploughing billions of pounds into programme

0:21:28 > 0:21:31making, dramatically reshaping the way we watch television.

0:21:31 > 0:21:37Our Media Editor, Amol Rajan, reports.

0:21:37 > 0:21:3970 years ago, the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip

0:21:39 > 0:21:42was broadcast on a single channel in black-and-white.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44The world has changed.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Today, their marriage and times has been dramatised

0:21:46 > 0:21:49in a multi-million pound, high-tech production,

0:21:49 > 0:21:55consumed on a range of devices.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Yet this very British story was made by Netflix, not the BBC.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00The company now boasts over 100 million subscribers

0:22:00 > 0:22:05and was irresistible to the British executive behind The Crown.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Well, you know, you can get to see tech companies very easily

0:22:08 > 0:22:11and they make decisions very speedily and they seem

0:22:11 > 0:22:13to have lots of money.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15All of these are very attractive qualities when you're

0:22:15 > 0:22:17trying to sell a TV show.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Netflix have said they will spend up to £6 billion

0:22:19 > 0:22:20on programmes next year.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24That's around double the BBC's entire budget.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25Meanwhile, according to analysts at JP Morgan,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Amazon will spend £3.5 billion on video content next year,

0:22:28 > 0:22:29with mega-productions such as their version

0:22:29 > 0:22:32of Top Gear top of the list.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35And now Apple, the world's richest company is now also moving

0:22:35 > 0:22:36into original programming.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39It will probably spend at least £750 million next year on content.

0:22:39 > 0:22:45Small fry for a company whose value is approaching $1 trillion.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Companies like Netflix and Amazon are part of a worldwide transition

0:22:48 > 0:22:52from scheduled TV to online and on-demand broadcasting.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54These tech firms have discovered that consumers

0:22:54 > 0:22:55will pay for content online, provided it's

0:22:55 > 0:23:00of sufficiently high quality.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02And that's why they are now shamelessly pursuing not just young

0:23:02 > 0:23:04and digitally savvy audiences, but also older viewers,

0:23:04 > 0:23:09whose loyalty traditionally lies elsewhere.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12And yet that loyalty to traditional broadcasters endures.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16For the likes of Channel 4 and the BBC, superstar shows

0:23:16 > 0:23:19like Great British Bake Off and Blue Planet are still watched

0:23:19 > 0:23:23by up to 10 million people and generate national conversation.

0:23:23 > 0:23:29The streaming services of Netflix and Amazon are certainly making

0:23:29 > 0:23:33a very powerful mark and that's great for consumers.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36My worry is that we can see over the next decade the amount of money

0:23:36 > 0:23:39going into content made in Britain, for British audiences,

0:23:39 > 0:23:42dramas that reflect British lives, comedies that reflect the UK,

0:23:42 > 0:23:45documentaries and so on, is going to go down.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50And I think we would be the poorer for that.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53As the next chair of Bafta argues, older broadcasters will have to form

0:23:53 > 0:23:56alliances with new ones if they are to thrive.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58The danger will come if the streaming services no longer

0:23:58 > 0:24:01need that money from the BBC or ITV or Channel 4, because they want

0:24:01 > 0:24:08to fully fund something and take world rights.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10The internet has simultaneously undermined the business model

0:24:10 > 0:24:12of broadcasters reliant on advertising, while giving paying

0:24:12 > 0:24:16customers unprecedented quality and choice.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Luckily for viewers, this is a revolution

0:24:18 > 0:24:20that will be televised.

0:24:20 > 0:24:26Amol Rajan, BBC News.

0:24:26 > 0:24:27Beautiful, isn't it?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29But snow and wintry weather have caused disruption

0:24:29 > 0:24:32across many parts of the UK, with power cuts, school closures

0:24:32 > 0:24:34and icy conditions on the roads.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36The Met Office says snow showers have been affecting parts

0:24:36 > 0:24:38of Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41and it's warning of more snow and ice to come this weekend.

0:24:41 > 0:24:46Judith Moritz reports.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Shropshire saw snow from early on, the roads treacherous

0:24:48 > 0:24:49before morning rush-hour.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Sledges were an option for some but few commuters

0:24:52 > 0:24:54went anywhere quickly.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57It was the same story on the Isle of Man, the whole island

0:24:57 > 0:24:58succumbed to the snow.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Flights were delayed, medical appointments cancelled

0:25:00 > 0:25:03and all of its schools were closed.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06In Wales there have been problems on the roads.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09This view of the A5 was filmed by the passenger in one car.

0:25:09 > 0:25:16This bus in Denbighshire struggled to get up the hill,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18and eventually gave up, even if its name had seemed apt

0:25:18 > 0:25:22for the freezing weather conditions.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23With lessons cancelled, many children in Wales

0:25:23 > 0:25:24are having a long weekend.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26This school in Flintshire took an early decision

0:25:26 > 0:25:27to close this morning.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Others sent pupils home during the course of the day.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32In total, nearly 200 schools across Wales shut

0:25:32 > 0:25:37because of the snow.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39In Scotland, schools were closed in Orkney, Shetland,

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Hundreds of homes were without power.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47In Northern Ireland, this school stayed open but there

0:25:47 > 0:25:51was travel disruption elsewhere.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53And there is more to come across the UK, with heavy skies

0:25:53 > 0:25:55promising further snow this weekend.

0:25:55 > 0:26:01Judith Moritz, BBC News, Flintshire.
