As a fast moving wildfire rips through the area. A glimmer of hope for england at last in the ashes as they go into the final day needing 178 runs to win the second test. And in sport, well find out whether russia will be banned from the Winter Olympics. The ioc will decide whether state sponsored doping is still part of their regime. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The show is now in london. Thats what the European Commission said this morning, as they made it clear that they were ready to resume talks as soon as the uk was ready. When that will be is unclear. This morning theresa may has been briefing the cabinet after yesterdays crucial talks in brussels ended without a deal allowing brexit negotiations to move onto the next stage. The Prime Minister had to pull out of a deal that would have kick started trade talks after the Democratic Unionist Party stepped in and rejected it. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports from westminster. Labour has branded the government and embarrassing and, but the brexit secretary who was confident of sufficient progress this week. An embarrassment. It is 320 miles long with almost as many crossing points, but the british and Irish Governments do not wa nt british and Irish Governments do not want this to become a so called hard border after brexit with customs posts and checkpoints, but it has 110w posts and checkpoints, but it has now become painfully apparent that in the current political landscape, thatis in the current political landscape, that is easier said than done. This morning the Prime Minister said there were still encouraging signs. Our talks with the European Union have made a lot of progress, there are still a couple of issues we need to work on. Here is the core of the problem the Irish Government said to guarantee there was no hard border after brexit, rules and regulations should remain the same across the whole island of ireland, but the dup believes this would create an internal border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. They and many conservatives find that unacceptable. Well, i dont know what possibly unwise promises have been made to the irish governance , have been made to the irish governance, but it would be completely unacceptable to the dup and many in our party if there was a separate arrangement for Northern Ireland. And the views of the dup here at westminster are crucial, they are propping up theresa mays minority government. Downing street are confident they can meet the concerns of their Northern Ireland allies, but in the house of commons today labour were keen to exploit the governments current difficulties. Mr speaker, what an embarrassment. It is wanting, this despicable, to go to brussels and fallout with those on the other side of the negotiating table, but quite another to fall out with those supposedly on your own side of the negotiating table. We recognise that as we exit, we must respect the integrity of the Single Market and the Customs Union, but we must equally respect the integrity of the united kingdom. But a former labour Northern Ireland secretary there is only one way to solve the problem of the irish border. You are not going to be able to find a solution to the irish border problem and less unionists feel they are remaining still within the uk, and that means, in the same common and Customs Union as not just in the same common and Customs Union as notjust the rest of the uk, but the Irish Republic and therefore the European Union as well. There is no alternative to this. That kind of deal is unlikely to appeal to the ministers who voted for brexit. Confident of a deal, mrjohnson . Ministers who voted for brexit. Confident of a deal, mrjohnson . And theresa mays cabinet colleagues remained tight lipped on the prospect of any de la torre iain watson, bbc news. Any deal at all. In a moment, well speak to our assistant political editor, norman smith, in westminster, and our ireland correspondent chris page. Will Arlene Foster be talking to the Prime Minister any time soon . She was invited to london to talk to the Prime Minister today, but the deputy leader, nigel dodds will instead meet with the chief whip at westminster, and it is expected that he may will talk to Arlene Foster by phone today and the Prime Minister will also telephoned the sinn fein leader here at stormont, michelle oneill. The irish and has been holding a meeting in dublin today. The Irish Government. Their Foreign Affairs minister said dublin wa nted Foreign Affairs minister said dublin wanted to give britain what he described as time and space to deal with difficult political issues, and he said that the Irish Government we re he said that the Irish Government were prepared to work with the British Government on what he described as presentation issues around the text that had been agreed on the irish border issue, but he also said that i ireland would not move away from the core meaning of what had been agreed. So we have an indication from the dublin government that as regards their core position on the border question, they are not prepared to move on, but they are prepared to move on, but they are prepared to move on, but they are prepared to move on the language that is used whenever the draft document is put forward for approval. Now, what is also interesting is that as regards what the dups next move might be, the scottish conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, has made a Statement Today that if regulatory alignment in the number of areas is the requirement for a frictionless border, the Prime Minister should conclude this must be on a uk wide basis. Two senior figures conclude this must be on a uk wide basis. Two seniorfigures in conclude this must be on a uk wide basis. Two senior figures in the dup, the chief whip and a former stormont minister, have both commented on twitter about that, and they have basically said that Ruth Davidson is thinking along the right lines. So perhaps that is the dup signalling that one possible solution to this might be that the whole notion of the same rules and regulations between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic could work if the same rules and regulation is also applied to england, scotland and wales. Lets talk to norman smith in westminster, so little time to do this, and it is far more than playing with words, with presentational issues, can theresa may rescue it . It is a huge challenge, and the hope is that when she gets on the blower to Arlene Foster this afternoon, maybe she can begin to smooth things over. The view in government is that this is all a terrible misunderstanding, that the dup got the wrong end of the stick about what the British Government were proposing and what they were suggesting was a much more limited form of Cross Border Co operation, they were never suggesting that Northern Ireland should be halved in or half out of the eu. The trouble is that is not how the dup view it, they dont think theyve misunderstood anything. For them, this is a fundamental issue of principle they are not prepared to have a separate agreement for Northern Ireland which creates a divide with the rest of the uk, which they believe might threaten their position in the uk. And the way these negotiations have been handled have made the mood music all the harder. Even some tory mps have been a gas at the idea that the dup were not shown the text of the proposed agreement, and then on top of all that, you have the clock ticking very, very loudly. Withjust days that, you have the clock ticking very, very loudly. With just days to reach a deal where we know that the dup are tenacious negotiators, which means that if it is not possible to getan means that if it is not possible to get an agreement in the next few days, then many mps believe that the uk could be leaving the eu without a deal. Norman smith in westminster, thank you. Parents are being warned about the dangers of live online streaming services, after it emerged sex offenders are increasingly using them to manipulate their victims. The warning from the National CrimeAgency Follows a week long operation by uk authorities against child sexual exploitation, which led to the arrest of more than 190 people. Angus crawford reports. Hands up all those who have used Live Streaming. Aged 13 and 14, they know about apps which let children broadcast live from their phones. Today, theyre talking about how to do it safely. Somebody could be trying to trick you, couldnt they . The apps are quick to download, easy to use. These pupils could go live in the playground, the street, or even their own bedrooms. Sometimes it can be quite dangerous, because if someones following someone that they dont know, they will be able to see it, like you dont know who is watching you. The real problem with some of these apps is theres no proper checking of age or identification, so that means a Live Streaming service with a 17 rating could be used by children as young as this or even younger, eight or nine. Look at this a boy and a girl on the app periscope. Now read the comments. We dont want to identify them she isjust nine. Almost a thousand people are watching, and theyre mostly adult men. We cant show you the worst of the comments. Periscope told us it had zero tolerance for this kind of behaviour, but we found it on other apps too, and for the children caught up in it, the consequences can be devastating. I found her inconsolable in her bedroom. This is an actress, but the words are true those of a mother whose ten year old daughter tried out the app omegle for fun. He switched his webcam on, showed her his private parts, and asked her to take photos of herself, which she did. She was terrified by what had happened and scared of what shed done. It offers offenders an immediate connection to children and young people that is one to one, it allows them to manipulate children and young people, offer excitement, sympathy, connection, emotional connection, involve them with games and trickery, and we see children getting basically manipulated to do things that ultimately theyre very uncomfortable about and dont want to do. A Campaign Video launched today warning about the dangers of Live Streaming aimed at young people and their parents and posing a stark question when children broadcast live to the world from their own bedrooms, can they really stay safe . Angus crawford, bbc news. Google has announced plans to employ 10,000 people to search for violent and extremist content on its video sharing website, youtube. The websites chief executive says the company will also track videos that risk childrens safety and will make more use of technology that finds extremist videos. A spanish judge has withdrawn a european arrest warrant for the former catalan president. Carles puigdemont fled to belgium a month ago, with four other ministers, after attempting a unilateral declaration of independence. Meanwhile, campaigning has begun for Regional Elections in catalonia. The new car market has declined for the eighth month in a row, according to industry figures. Fewer than 164,000 new cars were registered last month, down 11. 2 on the same month last year. The society for Motor Manufacturers and traders blamed the government for prompting a sharp drop in demand for diesel cars. Commuters are facing their biggestjump in average train fares in five years, after the Rail Industry said everything from season tickets to off peak leisure tickets would rise in cost. Prices will go up by an average of 3. 4 from the 2nd ofjanuary for both regulated and unregulated tickets. But therell be a previously announced rise of 3. 6 for many commuters paying for season tickets, fares which are regulated by the government and represent around half of all tickets. Its infuriated commuter groups fewer than half of passengers are satisfied with the value for money of train tickets, according to the passenger watchdog, transport focus. Richard westcott is at east croydon station in south london. What has been the response to people you have been talking to there . I will give you three guesses i go through this process every year, we all do, the Campaign Groups say enough is enough, you have to freeze rises, they go up every year, people are being priced off the railways, young people especially are struggling because it costs so much just to get to work, and yet fares go just to get to work, and yet fares 9 up just to get to work, and yet fares go up every year because Train Companies and the government say they are pumping billions into the network for better services, which costs money. Anyway, you ask what people think we asked some. Im from leicester, i travel down to london on a regular basis for work, and its frankly extortionate. Its notjust the price as well, its also the service, which is pretty miserable at times. I ended up leaving myjob because the trains were so unreliable, so i wouldnt say its value for money at all. Just imagine if a business had to take a hit like that, where one twelfth of their income is spent on travel or probably more. It is a high one, but the railways really need a lot of refurbing. So you think, you know, that money needs to be. Its a difficult one, and i think we have to be prepared to pay for what we want. Something has been going on on the ra i lwa ys something has been going on on the railways over recent years, successive governments have been shifting who pays for the railways, for the trains and stations and all the rest of it less money coming from the taxpayer, more from tickets, and that is why we heap seeing these price rises. Anyway, the good news is that all of these rises come into effect onjanuary the 2nd. Richard, thank you. Theres encouraging news for people with type 2 diabetes, after doctors in newcastle and glasgow carried out a trial on 300 people. They say they have reversed type 2 diabetes in nearly half of the patients who took part, and theyre calling it a watershed moment. The treatment involves losing a lot of weight, by being restricted to just 800 calories a day for up to five months on an all liquid diet. The Charity Diabetes uk says the approach could help millions of people. Our health correspondent, james gallagher, has the details. Isobel murray thought she was facing a lifetime of type 2 diabetes, but shes lost more than four stone on the trial and has now completely changed her relationship with food. Her disease is in remission. Its freedom to live your life again and know that youre not in that cycle anymore and know that i can control this, and i will never go there again, never will i be taking diabetic medication again, ill do whatever i have to do to make sure that that never happens again. She spent 17 weeks drinking these. They re nutritionally balanced soups and shakes to help trigger weight loss. And thats it. Theres 200 calories in a glass and youre allowed four of them every day. Thats just sweet, really, but thats your lot. For up to five months. The pancreas is critical in type 2 diabetes. If excess body fat is stored around the organ, then it reduces the production of the hormone insulin. That leads to levels of sugar in the blood getting dangerously out of control. But losing weight makes the fat cells disappear and the pancreas work properly again. Doctors say 46 of patients on the trial put their type 2 into remission. We now have clear evidence that weight loss of 10 15 kg is enough to turn this disease around. Its hugely exciting that we can do that in routine practice, with ordinary nurses, ordinary dieticians, ordinary gps, and ordinary patients. I dont have diabetes anymore, i dont feel like a diabetic, so i dont think about it anymore. Ive got my life back. And isobel says if she can do it, then anyone can. James gallagher, bbc news. Our top story this lunchtime. The Prime Minister scrambles to find a solution after failing to reach a deal at the brexit talks in brussels. Coming up in sport. Iam i am live in hull where this evening we will find out which artist is taking home the most prestigious prize in contemporary art, that turner prize. Its the final round of matches in the group stage of the Champions League tonight. Manchester united are hoping to secure top spot and qualification for the last 16. Its been described as a planetary crisis and now environment ministers meeting in nairobi have agreed that Plastic Waste needs to be stopped from entering the worlds oceans. Scientists say theyre shocked to discover the effect plastics can have on marine life, endangering animals such as turtles which can swallow foreign items in the ocean. The United Nations resolution, which is set to be sealed tomorrow, is not legally binding. But ministers hope it will set the course for much tougher policies. Our environment analyst, roger harrabin, reports. The plastic epidemic is everywhere. Here volunteers are clearing up a beach in watamu, eastern kenya. The plastic comes from as far as indonesia and japan. It is harming animals like turtles which ingest plastic pieces. Half of the turtles brought in for treatment for eating plastics end up dead. Here is one lucky turtle being measured before it is put back in the sea. It was brought in sick by a fisherman. The man who runs the Turtle Hospital says turtles offer an insight into pollution of the entire ocean. We focus on turtles because they are endangered, but also they are quite a charismatic species. People like turtles. It is easier to get people to like turtles than maybe a ray or some kind of weird fish. But also because they are an excellent indicator species of ecosystem health. At the United Nations in kenya, these installations offer an artists insight into the impact of plastics in the oceans. Un environment ministers are discussing what to do about it. Some nations are banning plastic bags completely. Others are more cautious. The uns oceans chief wants much faster action. The plastic, the tremendous amount of plastic that we use ends up in the ocean and the ocean has been seen as a trash dump where we dump everything we dont need. That plastic never goes away. Mostly it floats on the surface. It falls to the bottom. And we urgently need to do something about it. Scientists recently discovered that creatures at the very bottom of the sea in the Mariana Trench had ingested micro plastic fragments. Many of them will have been carried thousands of miles from cities far inland. In nairobi, for instance, they have banned plastic bags. But look at this. The un grinds slowly. While governments are figuring out how to progress, ordinary people have simply got to stop doing this. Roger harrabin, bbc news, nairobi. Ferocious winds have whipped up a fast moving wildfire north of los angeles, in california, threatening thousands of homes and knocking out power lines. So far, authorities have said one person has died as a result of the blaze and evacuation centres have been opened in schools and fairgrounds. Richard galpin has the latest. Fanned by winds gusting at up to 70 miles an hour, this latest fire in california has been spreading fast towards cities on the coast. And as the fire advances, thousands of families have been ordered to leave their homes as quickly as possible. You must abide by these evacuation notices. We saw the disasters and the losses that happened up north in sonoma and this is a fast, very dangerous, moving fire. Already one person has been killed and there are fears of significant destruction. But some people still wont leave. You cant panic, just kind of go with the flow. Thats me. Weve been here almost 30 years and weve gone through floods, fires, you know. But its the wind, you just dont know where it is going to go. My son is a firefighter and im not going to wait around for someone to have to come rescue me, so i am out of here. With the strong winds persisting, the fire now covers an area of 25,000 acres. And it is continuing to move steadily westwards, towards the coastal cities of ventura and santa paula. We have over 500 firefighting personnel out on the lines. The fire is pushing quickly towards the city of ventura. We are making sure we are out ahead of the fire, making sure we have evacuations in advance of the fire. That is a street going up in there. Bad news. And now the flames have reached parts of ventura, with many homes and other buildings on fire. What was already californias most devastating fire season on record. Just got even worse. Richard galpin, bbc news. England have been fighting back in the second ashes test in adelaide. This morning, they bowled australia out for 138, with Jimmy Anderson taking his first five wicket haul in australia. England finished on 176 4, still needing 178 to win on what could be a nail biting final day. Andy swiss has been watching the action. It began a peaceful adelaide tuesday that turned into the tensest nailbiter. England began with barely a flicker of hope. They needed early wickets and found them, Jimmy Anderson inspired, taking five in total as his team mates clung onto their catches. Australias lead was growing all the time though. England kept chipping away, if only theyd bowled like this in the first innings. By the time australia were all out for 138, englands target was still a massive one. 354, they would need a record run chase. As Mark Stoneman and Alastair Cook eased them past the 50 mark, england dared to dream. But then a reality check, both went in quick succession and another soon followed. James vince wafting his wicket away not what the occasion called for. Under floodlights and the fiercest pressure, dawid malan and joe root hung in there. Australia kept appealing, england kept surviving, just. It was pure sporting theatre. Root reached a gutsy half century as the pair rekindled englands hopes. But ten minutes from the close, a final twist. Dawid malan gone. Australia are still favourites, but england are 178 runs from something very special. This has been some fight back from england. Barely 24 hours ago, they looked beaten, the ashes all but gone. And yet they still have a chance of a remarkable win. To be honest, we are delighted to be in this position, to have any chance of winning the game, which we didnt think we would have after the first couple of days. Its good for us. Obviously, theres a huge amount of work left in this game if we have got any chance of winning it. And so an enthralling finale awakes from the brink of defeat, a chance of one of crickets greatest victories. The International Olympic committee will announce this evening whether it will allow russian athletes to compete in next years Winter Olympics in south korea. An independent report by the World Anti Doping Authority in 2015 suggested senior figures in russias Sports Ministry were complicit in doping by athletes. A kremlin spokesman said russia will defend its athletes against the allegations. Alex capstick is in lausanne, in switzerland. That decision, what is it expected to be . Russias fate will be known in next few hours. The crucial session isjust in next few hours. The crucial session is just underweight and it could end with a ban on one of the olympic heavyweights over massive doping violations. Things got serious when a report by Richard Mclaren was published accusing russia of institutionalised doping, he said it affected 1000 athletes in more than 30 different sports. Russia has denied there was any state sponsored doping but since the report, a separate ioc investigation has corroborated most of Richard Mclarens findings and another inquiry is examining whether it was a state led conspiracy. A russian delegation is in town to put their side of the story and they will argue a blanket ban is unfair on clea n argue a blanket ban is unfair on clean athletes. This is being seen asa clean athletes. This is being seen as a test of the iocs credibility, its president , thomas bach, has been accused of being reluctant to punish such a powerful and influential member of the olympic movement, but amid mounting evidence, the signs are his attitude has hardened against russia. By how far, that will become clear later today. Thank you. Its one of visual arts most prestigious awards the winner of the turner prize will be announced this evening in hull.
