And whats been left out. Also tonight. Clashes in the west bank pit palestinians against Israeli Soldiers during protests against Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. When the rain is blowing in your face, the anorexic teenager whose death could have been prevented, failed by every nhs organisation that should have cared for her. The changing face of television are the newcomers stealing the crown jewels of traditional broadcasters . And snow across parts of the uk causes chaos on the roads, and theres Colder Weather on the way. Coming up on sports day on bbc news, british and ireland lions captain Sam Warburton will miss the six nations. The Wales International had knee surgery ruling him out of the tournament. Good evening. Stage one is done. Next stop the beginning of talks about our future relationship with the eu including trade. After through the night negotiations, a deal was struck first thing this morning between the uk and the eu on key areas including the irish border and the divorce bill, which downing street says will amount to between 55 59 billion. Now, the uk can at last move on to the next stage of talks. But the head of the European Council sounded a warning so much time has been devoted to the easier part of the negotiations, he said, now comes the hard part. Our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has more. While most of us slept, when hardly a soul was stirring, the residents of downing street were up. Late night calls. Then, at 4 07am, onto the plane. Theresa may, travelling. While Jean Claude Juncker was pacing, waiting, in so many ways, for the uk. And then, touchdown. Ready . Ready if you are. Taking their places for the moment, after three days of cajoling, compromise and criticism. Good morning it was a good morning for theresa may. A deal to pave the way to brexit round two, the jargon she had longed to hear. Sufficient progress has now been made on the strict terms of the divorce. This was a difficult negotiation for the european union, as well as for the united kingdom. After breakdown on monday, blocked by her allies at home, a huge weight off the governments stressed shoulders. I very much welcome the prospect of moving ahead to the next phase, to talk about trade and security, and to discuss the positive and ambitious future relationship. Are you going to be celebrating, mr barnier . No. Cracking open the champagne . Were still working, no. Still more work to do, ok. No celebrations for either side. No champagne. For the negotiation, we have to bring water. Water. There have been many compromises, and more to come. The agreement implies it will cost between 55 59 billion to settle our accounts as we leave. There is no finalfigure, and it could be more, but paid over many years. Both sides say brits who live elsewhere in the eu, and european citizens who live here, will have their rights protected. And, crucially for tory backbenchers, the role of the European Court will be limited. There is a promise there will be no hard border in ireland between north and south, a vow their rules and regulations will be aligned if there is no big trade deal. And a time limited transition period as we leave. Were not making any comment, thank you. But what about the dup, who had so embarrassed the Prime Minister on monday . She needs their votes in parliament, and this week they squeezed some concessions. But in the early hours, theresa may made the decision to crack on, even though they werent quite sure. There are Still Matters we would have liked to have seen clarified. We ran out of time, essentially. We think that we needed to go back again and talk about those matters, but the Prime Minister has decided to go to brussels in relation to this text, and she says she has done that in the national interest. The leader of the opposition, speaking at the un today, was even less impressed. This could have been done some time ago. The referendum took place in 2016. Were now right at the end of 2017. This is the first time there has been any sign of any movement to go on to phase two. But tory relief washed over social media, the cabinet falling over themselves to praise their boss, and notable by their absence, most tory brexiteers. The ultimate arbiter, put that in your pipe and smoke it. The real criticism, from this man. Remember him . Amazing, isnt it . The british Prime Ministerflies through the middle of the night to meet unelected bureaucrats who pat her on the head, they say you have met our demands, made sufficient progress and can move to the next stage. The whole thing is a humiliation. As one of the brussels brokers was keen to point out, reaching the next deal to shake on will be harder still. Let us remember, the most difficult challenge is still ahead. We all know that breaking up is hard. But breaking up and building a new relation is much harder. But round here, there is no jubilation, more like thank goodness, because these negotiations are intertwined with the Prime Ministers fate. The talks stumble, so does she. The talks muddle through, and so does she. Had there not been this deal at dawn, there would have been serious rumblings about theresa mays future. With progress comes breathing space, but there is compromise, plenty of it. And with that comes winners and losers, and no real guarantees. Getting this far and keeping the peace has strained this street already. The tory divisions have not disappeared. But agreeing anything has been an achievement. For tonight at least, a little goodwill. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. So what exactly was agreed in the small hours this morning between the uk and the eu, and what does it mean . Chris morris from the bbcs Reality Check Team takes a closer look. A breakthrough in the brexit negotiations for sure, but its worth emphasising that this is only an agreement that sufficient progress has been made on issues relating to the uks withdrawal. It locks in the progress made so far, but at the same time emphasises that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. And the toughest talks are still to come. This is not the end, but it is the end of the beginning. And we will remain fully engaged and vigilant throughout phase two, the drafting and ratification of the new treaties that will be required between the eu and the uk, and their implementation. So how has the benchmark of sufficient progress been reached . Well, on the irish border, the hope is that a future Free Trade Agreement will mean many of the concerns about a hard border simply melt away. But as a backstop, if all else fails, the uk has promised to maintain full alignment with eu Single Market and customs rules that govern trade across the border. Exactly how that will be done isnt entirely clear, but you certainly cant have partial membership of the Single Market and the customs union. On citizens rights, its been agreed that the cut off date for an agreement on the rights of eu citizens in the uk, and uk citizens elsewhere in the eu, will be the day brexit actually happens. In other words, some people yet to arrive could still qualify. There will also be a potential role for the European Court ofjustice, directly for eight years and indirectly thereafter. The number of legal cases its likely to cover is very small, but some brexiteers wont be entirely happy. Noi are some campaigners for citizens rights, because many details have yet to be resolved. And then theres the financial settlement, the divorce bill. A method for calculating it has been agreed. It will be paid in euro. But technical negotiations will continue on various aspects, including when and how the money gets paid. How much is the final amount likely to be . Well probably never know for sure, but uk sources say the equivalent of up to £40 billion. While some eu sources still think it will be higher. So, whats next . The priority will be to agree upon the terms of a transition period for about two years after brexit. The eu says that means the uk staying in the Single Market and the customs union. But government says thats not how it understands it at all. It is very clear that more challenging negotiations lie ahead. Chris morris, bbc news. Our correspondent adam fleming is in brussels tonight. Whats the response been there in brussels and among eu leaders . We will find that out when they gather in a weeks time for a summit when they will rubber stamp the documents handed by the eus negotiating team at the european commission. Today, a personal political triumph is how the president of the commission Jean Claude Juncker describes theresa mays predawn visit here. Now the initial talks are settled, the next stage will be done in a slightly more friendly, constructive and slightly less adversarial way, they hope. The next up in the new year will be talks around the transition deal. Around here they call it the full monty minus. Full monty because it will see the uk follow most eu rules and regulations, without having a seat at the table. While those rules and regulations are decided and applied. In the spring they will Start Talking about the shape of a future partnership on trade, defence, security, terrorism, climate change, you name it. What european officials are desperate for is for the British Government and cabinet to sit around the cabinet table and have a big discussion on what they want the future relationship to look like. But here they are a little bit worried that the discussion with Northern Ireland, diverging scum convergence oi Northern Ireland, diverging scum convergence or realignment, it could be tricky have that debate will go. Just back divergences, convergence. And our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is here. This is a good day for theresa may. She has had a very rocky time. Just the fact she has agreed achievement isa the fact she has agreed achievement is a big positive. And if it hadnt gone this way then there would have been real serious rumblings about her future. But there been real serious rumblings about herfuture. But there has been plenty of compromise, and compromise in this kind of deal always means an element of fudge. A lot of the really tricky things have been delayed, deferred, put into the future and the next phase of talks that will consider the issues in more detail. Its important to remember that using the jargon in brussels, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. The things that have been concluded in this text, this document, they will not amount to anything if the whole deal isnt done. So this agreement on its own doesnt have the legal status, really. Another bit of eu jargon, the full monty minus, what happens next . In the short term for theresa may, she still has to get the eu legislation through the house of commons before christmas. That will bea commons before christmas. That will be a big fight on its own. When we get into the talks about trade and transition, the fundamental clashes between the eu, and the uk, and fundamental differences inside the tory party and even around the cabinet table, at some point they will have to be settled. In political terms thats going to be the real challenge. The document published today had 15 pages in it, and plenty more compromises than that inside the pages. The ambiguity inside the document has allowed them to get to this point, but its going to get to this point, but its going to be extremely difficult to move on. But for the government this is a real sign of relief because if it hadnt happened, things could have looked distinctly bad. Israel has carried out air strikes against targets in gaza, injuring ten people, after Palestinian Militants fired a rocket into israeli territory. Two palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli Security forces during a second day of protests in the west bank and gaza against Donald Trumps decision to recognisejerusalem as israels capital. Our middle east editor, jeremy bowen, reports from jerusalem. Palestinian protesters confronted Israeli Security forces on the roads leading into all the big towns on the west bank. Plenty of people had warned that us recognition ofjerusalem as israels capital would lead to bloodshed. It has. One dead, and many wounded, across gaza and the west bank. Thats the land palestinians want for a state, with a capital in eastjerusalem. This is our land. Palestinian, all palestinian is our land. Mr trump, you are wrong. Most israelis are delighted President Trump has accepted their reality. He said, we are steadfast here, eternally here since ancient times. This city was given tojews 3000 years ago. We are the continuation and the us has recognised that. But the golden dome behind him is part of the third holiest place in the world for muslims. And a few hundred yards away, several thousand palestinians were going home after the noon prayer. The reality of this city is that many palestinians live here. Life can be hard for them. Salehs home has been demolished twice this year by the israeli authorities. They give palestinians very few building permits, while constructing thousands of homes for the jews. I born in this land, and my father and my grandfather. And i will die in this place. I will not leave it, not for israel, not forjews, and not for the united states. Palestinian areas of jerusalem were quieter after friday prayers than many expected. Whenever a crowd formed, mostly of onlookers rather than protesters, the police broke it up. Mr trumps declaration is a big challenge for the Palestinian National movement. It will turn into a big defeat for it as well if the palestinians arent able to organise a coherent challenge to whats happened, and to build on all the International Criticism there has been. Israel feels on the up. Its been given american president ial recognition in this city, without mention of occupation and without, so far, a single concession in return. Jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. At least 14 United Nations peacekeepers have been killed and more than 50 injured in an attack on their base in the democratic republic of congo. The un said the peacekeepers were from tanzania. Five congolese soldiers were also killed. The attack took place in north kivu province in the east of the country, where several rival militia groups are fighting for control. Our africa editor, fergal keane, is here with me. Youve just come back from congo. Whats the background to this . Well, the un has for some time been a target in eastern congo because it a cts a target in eastern congo because it acts in support of the congolese government. The real context behind this, even though the adf, who are behind the attack our islamist, it is not like al sha bab behind the attack our islamist, it is not like al shabab in somalia. The real contest is a deeply unpopular government clinging to power, whose president , joseph kabila, has gone beyond his two term limit. You have a sense among warlords, militia groups and wider civil society, that the endgame is beginning. You havejockeying for power. Congo is a mess. More than 4 Million People displaced. At the same time, you have a Un Peacekeeping force of 20,000 which they are now cutting down by 3000, under pressure from the trump administration, which wants to reduce peacekeeping costs. This, when violence is on the rise. I have seenin when violence is on the rise. I have seen in many parts of the country how un peacekeepers, the very people who were attacked last night, are the only people who stand between the only people who stand between the ordinary citizens who are being relentlessly attacked, and the actions of militia groups, warlords and Security Forces of their own government. So this could not come ata government. So this could not come at a worse time. A state of emergency has been declared in california where wildfires have been raging for five days, destroying hundreds of homes. Over 5,000 firefighters have been battling the blazes, which stretch from los angeles up to Santa Barbara county. Averil hart was 19 when she died, just weeks after leaving home for university. She had a history of anorexia and today the Health Service ombudsman concluded that she had been failed by every nhs organisation that should have cared for her. Her death, he said, could and should have been prevented. Our health editor, hugh pym, reports. Her family remember her as fun and outgoing, and averil hart, who was 19, had recovered enough from her eating disorder to go to university. But when her condition got worse, she was failed by the nhs. Her death was avoidable according to an official report. This picture was released by her family. Next week, it will be five years since averils death, her familys been campaigning since then for answers about her care and treatment. I still cant believe that ive lost my daughter through just a catalogue of disasters, really, in the nhs. Averil collapsed after her anorexia deteriorated. But at hospital in norwich, her condition wasnt recognised as urgent. She wasnt seen by experienced doctors. She was transferred to addenbrookes in cambridge, but even with extremely low blood sugar levels, she wasnt treated properly. She suffered brain damage and had a heart attack. The ombudsmans report said, every nhs organisation involved in her care mist significant opportunities to prevent the tragedy unfolding. The subsequent responses to averils family were inadequate and served only to compound their distress. The department of health said it was investing in eating Disorder Services, but some argue more needs to be done. Eating Disorder Services have been really cinderella specialty, and that may be in part because i think that eating disorders have been trivialised for a long time, despite being really very serious illnesses. Four different nhs trusts involved in averils care have now apologised to her family. When this is all finished, i want to go away and grieve for averil, and connect with her again, and maybe have some therapy. But theres been such a task to get the truth and to try to prevent other deaths, that at the moment, everything is on hold. To make you feel my love. Hugh pym, bbc news. The crown is thought to be one of the most expensive dramas ever made, at a cost of about £50 million a series. The latest series of the netflix drama about the queens life has gone online today. It comes at a time when netflix and other streaming Services Like amazon and apple are ploughing billions of pounds into programme making, dramatically reshaping the way we watch television. Our media editor, amol rajan, reports. 70 years ago, the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip was broadcast on a Single Channel in black and white. The world has changed. Today, their marriage and times has been dramatised in a multi million pound, high tech production, consumed on a range of devices. Yet this very british story was made by netflix, not the bbc. The company now boasts over 100 million subscribers and was irresistible to the british executive behind the crown. Well, you know, you can get to see Tech Companies very easily and they make decisions very speedily and they seem to have lots of money. All of these are very attractive qualities when youre trying to sell a tv show. Netflix have said they will spend up to £6 billion on programmes next year. Thats around double the bbcs entire budget. Meanwhile, according to analysts atjp morgan, amazon will spend £3. 5 billion on video content next year, with mega productions such as their version of top gear top of the list. And now apple, the worlds Richest Company is now also moving into original programming. It will probably spend at least £750 million next year on content. Small fry for a Company Whose value is approaching 1 trillion. Companies like netflix and amazon are part of a worldwide transition from scheduled tv to online and on demand broadcasting. These tech firms have discovered that consumers will pay for content online, provided its of sufficiently high quality. And thats why they are now shamelessly pursuing notjust young and digitally savvy audiences, but also older viewers, whose loyalty traditionally lies elsewhere. And yet that loyalty to traditional broadcasters endures. For the likes of channel 4 and the bbc, superstar shows like Great British bake off and blue planet are still watched by up to 10 Million People and generate national conversation. The streaming services of netflix and amazon are certainly making a very powerful mark and thats great for consumers. My worry is that we can see over the next decade the amount of money going into content made in britain, for british audiences, dramas that reflect british lives, comedies that reflect the uk, documentaries and so on, is going to go down. And i think we would be the poorer for that. As the next chair of bafta argues, older broadcasters will have to form alliances with new ones if they are to thrive. The danger will come if the streaming services no longer need that money from the bbc or itv or channel 4, because they want to fully fund something and take world rights. The internet has simultaneously undermined the Business Model of broadcasters reliant on advertising, while giving paying customers unprecedented quality and choice. Luckily for viewers, this is a revolution that will be televised. Amol rajan, bbc news. Beautiful, isnt it . But snow and wintry weather have caused disruption across many parts of the uk, with power cuts, School Closures and icy conditions on the roads.

Theyve won 13 consecutive games in the premier league, equalling the record. They havent lost since the start of april when they were beaten by chelsea. So far this season they dropped just two points scoring more goals than any other team. How much does that record of consecutive wins play on your mind, if at all . Do you think about it at all .
