0:00:00 > 0:00:02transient snow, probably eventually turning to rain. A lot happening
0:00:02 > 0:00:09over the next few days, make sure you stay tuned to the weather.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16Britain and the EU have struck a last-minute deal, which means Brexit
0:00:16 > 0:00:19talks can move onto the next phase.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Getting to this point has required give and take on both sides,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23and I believe the joint report being published
0:00:23 > 0:00:27is in the best interests of the whole of the UK.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I believe we have now made the breakthrough we needed.
0:00:30 > 0:00:40Today's result is, of course, a compromise.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45Issues over the Irish border, the divorce Bill and citizens rights are
0:00:45 > 0:00:49addressed in the agreement, but around key points, questioned
0:00:49 > 0:00:52remain. Clashes between Palestinians and
0:00:52 > 0:01:02Israeli security forces clash. And the United Nations says it's the
0:01:02 > 0:01:06worst attack on peacekeepers in recent history. 14 peacekeepers have
0:01:06 > 0:01:15been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Hello and welcome to World News Todya. After six months of talks,
0:01:27 > 0:01:35finally a break you. A deal was struck first thing Friday morning on
0:01:35 > 0:01:39key areas, including the Irish border and the divorce Bill. Now
0:01:39 > 0:01:44discussions can move onto the second phase, the future relationship, but
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Donald Tusk, the of the European Commission, has sounded a warning.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53He says so much time has been dedicated to the early easy part of
0:01:53 > 0:02:04the negotiations, the hard part is only just beginning.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10While most of us slept, when hardly a soul was stirring,
0:02:10 > 0:02:11the residents of Downing Street were up.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Late-night calls.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Then, at 4:07, onto the plane. Theresa May, travelling...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20while Jean-Claude Juncker was pacing,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22waiting in so many ways, for the UK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26And then, touchdown.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Ready?
0:02:27 > 0:02:34Ready if you are.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Taking their places for the moment, after three days of cajoling,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39compromise and criticism.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45It was a good morning for Theresa May.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48A deal to pave the way for Brexit round two, the jargon she had
0:02:48 > 0:02:51longed to hear.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Sufficient progress has now been made on the terms of the divorce.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00This was a difficult negotiation for the European Union,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04as well as for the United Kingdom.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07After breakdown on Monday, blocked by allies at home,
0:03:07 > 0:03:12a huge weight off the government's stressed shoulders.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I very much welcome the prospect of moving ahead to the next phase,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19to talk about trade and security, and to discuss the positive
0:03:19 > 0:03:22and ambitious future relationship.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Are you going to be celebrating, Mr Barnier,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26cracking open the champagne?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Still working. Still more work to do, no champagne.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30No celebrations for either side.
0:03:30 > 0:03:39No champagne. Water.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45There have been many compromises, and more to come.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47The agreement implies it will cost up to £39 billion
0:03:47 > 0:03:49to settle our accounts as we leave.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51There is no final figure, and it could be more,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53but could be more paid over many years.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Both sides say Brits who live elsewhere in the EU,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58and European citizens who live here, will have their
0:03:58 > 0:03:59rights protected.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00And crucially, for Tory backbenchers,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02the role of the European Court will be limited.
0:04:02 > 0:04:11There is a promise there will be no hard border in Ireland
0:04:11 > 0:04:16between North and South, a vow their rules and regulations
0:04:16 > 0:04:18will be aligned if there is no big trade deal.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And a time-limited transition period as we leave.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22But what about the DUP, who'd so embarrassed
0:04:22 > 0:04:24the Prime Minister on Monday?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27She needs their votes in parliament, and this week
0:04:27 > 0:04:29they squeezed some concessions.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32But in the early hours, Theresa May made the decision to crack on,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36even though they weren't quite sure.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38There are still matters there that we would have liked
0:04:38 > 0:04:40to have seen clarified. We ran out of time, essentially.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44We think that we needed to go back again and talk about those matters,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but the Prime Minister has decided to go to Brussels in relation
0:04:47 > 0:04:52to this text, and she says she has done that in the national interest.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55The Leader of the Opposition, speaking at the UN today,
0:04:55 > 0:05:00was even less impressed.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03This could have been done some time ago.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07The referendum took place in 2016, we are now right at the end of 2017,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10this is the first time there has been any sign of any movement
0:05:10 > 0:05:17to go on to phase two.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20But Tory relief washed over social media, the Cabinet falling over
0:05:20 > 0:05:22themselves to praise their boss, and notable by their absence,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25most Tory Brexiteers.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28The ultimate arbiter, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The real criticism from this man. Remember him?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Amazing, isn't it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37The British Prime Minister flies through the middle of the night
0:05:37 > 0:05:47to meet unelected bureaucrats who pat her on the head,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and say, "You have met our demands, made sufficient progress and can
0:05:50 > 0:05:52move to the next stage." The whole thing is a humiliation.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55As one of the brokers in Brussels was keen to point out,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58reaching the next deal to shake on will be harder still.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Let us remember, the most difficult challenge is still ahead.
0:06:03 > 0:06:12We all know that breaking up is hard.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15But breaking up and building a new relation is much harder.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17But round here, there is no jubilation,
0:06:17 > 0:06:18more like thank goodness, because these negotiations
0:06:18 > 0:06:22are intertwined with the Prime Minister's fate.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23The talks stumble, so does she.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The talks muddle through, and so does she.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Had there not been this deal at dawn, there would have
0:06:28 > 0:06:30been serious rumblings about Theresa May's future.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34With progress comes breathing space, but there
0:06:34 > 0:06:36is compromise, plenty of it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38And with that comes winners and losers, and no real guarantees.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Getting this far and keeping the peace has strained
0:06:41 > 0:06:46this street already.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50The Tory divisions have not disappeared.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51But agreeing anything has been an achievement.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53For tonight at least, a little goodwill.
0:06:53 > 0:07:01Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05How people reacting to the Brexit deal across Europe? Let's talk to
0:07:05 > 0:07:14the Forum editor of a newspaper. Think of the joining us. How is
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Berlin reacting to this deal? Initially, the government
0:07:18 > 0:07:24spokesperson today just said it is a step forward, and now they are
0:07:24 > 0:07:27looking into the details to make their own assessment. At an
0:07:27 > 0:07:35officially, everybody is relieved that we do have this before
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Christmas, because there were concerns that talks may fail. That
0:07:39 > 0:07:44would have serious consequences for Germany as the most important
0:07:44 > 0:07:49trading partner for Britain.Could a change in the German government
0:07:49 > 0:07:58cause a change in Brexit policy? Know, it won't. Surprisingly, there
0:07:58 > 0:08:05is a consensus all across the German political spectrum, when it comes to
0:08:05 > 0:08:09negotiation from Brexit, I don't think there are any political
0:08:09 > 0:08:15differences. Even the fact that we have just an acting government right
0:08:15 > 0:08:23now, it will strain the hands of the German government when it comes to
0:08:23 > 0:08:27continuing the negotiation.Tell us more about the concerns that German
0:08:27 > 0:08:32government, or Germans in general, might have about Brexit. Are they
0:08:32 > 0:08:40focused around trade, or are there other concerns?So far, it has
0:08:40 > 0:08:47always been a question of the financial settlement. Germany is the
0:08:47 > 0:08:57European Union's most important net payer. That means, any Bill left
0:08:57 > 0:09:07over, it would have to be covered by the countries. So the relief today,
0:09:07 > 0:09:15it is related to the fact that we now know that the British Government
0:09:15 > 0:09:24will not spell it out, but... Of what they wanted to achieving this
0:09:24 > 0:09:35issue. It means for the German government, they can go ahead now.
0:09:35 > 0:09:42Thank you very much. If you want to find out more about

0:09:58 > 0:10:05Breaking news to bring you now, aides close to the former Georgian
0:10:05 > 0:10:10president say he has just been arrested in Kiev. Our Ukraine
0:10:10 > 0:10:13correspondent said details of how he had been detained have not been
0:10:13 > 0:10:16released. You might remember early in the
0:10:16 > 0:10:20week, these extraordinary pictures of an attempted a rest were
0:10:20 > 0:10:25released. Officers went to his flat and ended up walking him across his
0:10:25 > 0:10:31roof before he could be properly detained, though, his supporters
0:10:31 > 0:10:34managed to free him. Prosecutors accused him of receiving funding
0:10:34 > 0:10:41from an ally of Ukraine's former president. He says he is an
0:10:41 > 0:10:45anti-corruption campaigner, and has made accusations against the
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Ukrainian president. We will bring you more on this as it becomes
0:10:47 > 0:10:53available. The US ambassador to the UN has
0:10:53 > 0:10:56denounced the organisation's role in the Middle East, describing it as a
0:10:56 > 0:11:01centre of hostility to Israel. Nikki Haley was responding to criticism at
0:11:01 > 0:11:06the US decision to recognise to rue celeb as Israel's capital. There
0:11:06 > 0:11:09have been clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians, protesting
0:11:09 > 0:11:12at the decision. And there have been demonstrations across the Arab
0:11:12 > 0:11:16world.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18The biggest protests were in Gaza.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Plenty of people had warned that US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's
0:11:23 > 0:11:29capital would lead to bloodshed.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The first person to die was a 30-year-old Palestinian.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34He was shot by the Israeli army during clashes on Gaza's border.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Others were wounded.
0:11:38 > 0:11:45There were clashes around towns on the West Bank, too.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47The Palestinians want Gaza and the West Bank
0:11:47 > 0:11:52to be their future state, with a capital in East Jerusalem.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56This is our land. All Palestine is our land.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Mr Trump, you are wrong.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Israelis, who want all of Jerusalem, are delighted by President Trump's
0:12:00 > 0:12:03recognition of their capital.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05He said, we're steadfast here, eternally, since ancient times.
0:12:05 > 0:12:12This city was given to Jews 3,000 of years ago and the US
0:12:12 > 0:12:18has recognised that.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22But the golden dome behind him is part of the third holiest place
0:12:22 > 0:12:26in the world for Muslims, and a few hundred yards
0:12:26 > 0:12:31away, several thousand Palestinians were going home
0:12:31 > 0:12:32after the noon prayer.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38The reality of this city is that many Palestinians live here.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Life for them can be hard.
0:12:41 > 0:12:48This home has been demolished twice this year by order
0:12:48 > 0:12:52of the Israeli authorities.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Like many Palestinians, he built without a permit.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Israel gives Palestinians very few construction permits,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58while building thousands of homes for Jews.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03I born in this land, and my father and my grandfather.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I will die in this place.
0:13:05 > 0:13:12Palestinian areas of Jerusalem were quieter after Friday
0:13:12 > 0:13:16prayers than many expected.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Whenever a crowd formed, mostly of onlookers,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18the police broke it up.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Mr Trump's declaration is a big challenge for the Palestinian
0:13:22 > 0:13:26national movement and will turn into a big defeat for it as well
0:13:26 > 0:13:33if the Palestinians are not able to organise a coherent challenge
0:13:33 > 0:13:36to what has happened, and to build on all the international
0:13:36 > 0:13:40criticism there has been. Israel feels on the up.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43It has been given American presidential recognition in this
0:13:43 > 0:13:50city, without mention of occupation, and without, so far,
0:13:50 > 0:13:51a single concession in return.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Jerusalem.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come: we talk to BBC sport,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04they are looking ahead to the Manchester derby and waking up the
0:14:04 > 0:14:09chances for City and United.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29This is BBC World News Today. The latest headlines: UK and EU leaders
0:15:29 > 0:15:34hail the breakthrough we needed after Prime Minister Theresa May
0:15:34 > 0:15:38makes an early morning dash to Brussels to seal the deal.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42The US ambassador to the UN has denounced the organisation's role in
0:15:42 > 0:15:49the middle east, describing it as a centre of hostility to Israel.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53United Nations says at least 14 of its peacekeepers have been killed
0:15:53 > 0:15:57and dozens injured in an attack in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Five Congolese soldiers also died in the assault in the east of the
0:16:02 > 0:16:06country. Emergency teams are in the area, and evacuations are underway.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The UN secretaries-general says it is the worst attack on peacekeepers
0:16:10 > 0:16:14in recent history, and could amount to war crimes.
0:16:14 > 0:16:23I condemn this attack unequivocally. It is unacceptable and constitutes a
0:16:23 > 0:16:28war crime. I call on the authorities to investigate this incident and to
0:16:28 > 0:16:32roughly bring the perpetrators to justice. There must be no impunity
0:16:32 > 0:16:39for such assaults here or anywhere else. Military reinforcements have
0:16:39 > 0:16:43arrived on the scene, the first commander is there as well
0:16:43 > 0:16:46coordinated a response, and the medical evacuation of casualties is
0:16:46 > 0:16:58ongoing. This is the worst attack on UN peacekeepers in recent history.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02We have more about the UN's role in the DRC.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08This attack happened on Thursday night. It was an attack on a UN base
0:17:08 > 0:17:18where the UN troops of the mission were. It is believed that suspected
0:17:18 > 0:17:24militants from a group that operates in the DRC but originates from
0:17:24 > 0:17:31Uganda, that is who the UN is blaming or suspecting an element of
0:17:31 > 0:17:35this group was involved in the attack. And it appears to have been
0:17:35 > 0:17:40a surprise attack, considering the number of casualties, over 50
0:17:40 > 0:17:46wounded and a dozen killed. Quite a major incident for the UN in the DRC
0:17:46 > 0:17:50where it had been facing challenges. This is the largest UN peacekeeping
0:17:50 > 0:17:56mission in the world. One of the largest budgets. Over 18,000 troops,
0:17:56 > 0:18:03from what we are hearing, the troops involved were from Tanzania, who
0:18:03 > 0:18:09sends over a thousand troops. It is a major mission there, but it has
0:18:09 > 0:18:14been going on for a long time. There has been criticism about its
0:18:14 > 0:18:18effectiveness, and this will be brought again to the forefront,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20brought to the discussion considering the challenges UN
0:18:20 > 0:18:24peacekeeping has been facing in terms of effectiveness and also in
0:18:24 > 0:18:32terms of funding.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41A former Catalan minister who was jailed in Spain for his role in a
0:18:41 > 0:18:45legally declaring independence for the region has told the BBC that he
0:18:45 > 0:18:50acknowledges his government may have broken the law. He has been speaking
0:18:50 > 0:18:54exclusively to the BBC's Europe reporter.
0:18:54 > 0:19:04We were with ordinary criminals, with blood crimes. I mean, murder
0:19:04 > 0:19:21and other things. We didn't have a feeling of danger in our jail, but
0:19:21 > 0:19:27there were a lot of hours in the cell, 16, 17 hours a day in a small
0:19:27 > 0:19:34cell. They wanted to steal our dignity, but they didn't succeed.
0:19:34 > 0:19:41But how do you justify what you did? There were no legal means to have an
0:19:41 > 0:19:44independence declaration, it was against the constitution. You have
0:19:44 > 0:19:48the Spanish government who say you have made a situation deeply
0:19:48 > 0:19:55divisive now, thousands of companies have left, tell me.To hold a
0:19:55 > 0:20:01referendum is not illegal. It's not a crime in Spain. It is not a crime
0:20:01 > 0:20:10in Spain. We wanted the same thing, the same referendum that took place
0:20:10 > 0:20:15in Scotland. We are non-violent in our movement. This is the most
0:20:15 > 0:20:22unfair thing we have to face. Perhaps we have disobeyed, perhaps,
0:20:22 > 0:20:31perhaps. But we haven't committed a crime to go to jail for 30 years.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Gavin Lee reporting there. In California, six wildfires
0:20:36 > 0:20:40continue to rage out of control, leaving communities on the Pacific
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Ocean, including the City of Santa Barbara, preparing for evacuations.
0:20:44 > 0:20:54James Cooper reports.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58For California, an epic battle continues.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00They've been fighting this blaze in the mountains north
0:21:00 > 0:21:03of Los Angeles all week, and still it devours forest
0:21:03 > 0:21:05and brush, and has destroyed more than 430 buildings.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Yet again tonight, this blaze is burning with an intense ferocity,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10and that means a battle, because there is property down here,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13very close to the fire, and these firefighters have been
0:21:13 > 0:21:15working very, very hard for the past few days.
0:21:15 > 0:21:21They are exhausted, but they are back here again now
