We ask a group of Primary School students for their verdict. A glimmer of hope for england as they need 185 runs to win 181 runs to win the second test in the ashes good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. Theresa may has been briefing her cabinet colleagues about her talks in brussels yesterday, as she faces to get the brexit negotiations back on track. Talks ended without agreement on the issues the European Union wants to be resolved before discussions can move on to trade. The Democratic Unionist Party rejected a proposal that there should be regulatory alignment between Northern Ireland and the irish republic, to avoid the need for new checks along the irish border. Our assistant Political Editor norman smith is in westminster. Yesterday we saw defeat snatched from the jaws of victory, is now a salvage operation . I think the truth is we are now facing a fraught few days as the government tries to repair relations with the dup and get these brexit negotiations back on track. It is by no means a given that they will succeed, albeit at downing street they were putting the best face on yesterdays breakdown in negotiations. Suggesting that the dup had misunderstood the sort of deal they were trying to negotiate and they were not talking about regulatory equivalence across the whole range of border issues, just over a distinct and limited areas covered in the good friday agreement. I have to say, speaking to the dup this morning, they are not convinced by that. Nevertheless, the chancellor Philip Hammond was today talking up the prospects of being able to secure a deal. We have been involved in a very complex negotiation that has been going on for some time. We have made a lot of progress over the last weeks, we have made tremendous steps forward. We are very close, but not there yet. As the Prime Minister said yesterday, we will have to do some further consultation, some further discussion today and she expects to come back to brussels later in the week. I have to say, amongst many conservative mps, there appears to bea conservative mps, there appears to be a good deal of sympathy for the dup. This was the former brexit minister david jones. Dup. This was the former brexit minister david jones. It was a difficult day, clearly. Clear that the dup hadnt been brought entirely on board before the prime and mr left for brussels, but of course we have got several days left the Prime Minister. She will be talking to the dup today and see if we can make progress. Why were the dup not fully on board before the Prime Minister left for brussels . fully on board before the Prime Minister left for brussels . I cant say, but it was very important that they should have been aware of every detail of the proposal being put to the European Union. It would appear, they say, that they were not aware of those details and of course again it isa of those details and of course again it is a question of clarifying things, today is a good date for talking to them about those things. As if the government didnt have enough on its plate today, we will have an urgent question in the commons on yesterdays breakdown in the talks, so there will be a dumb an opportunity for ministers to press there will be an opportunity to press the ministers on it. Do you have sympathy for the dup . Very much so. They are a key pa rt dup . Very much so. They are a key part for getting the support through, they vote for us and they have done a deal and i find it most extraordinary that no one, none of the officials, exchanged a text with them the text with them so that they could see what was happening. They believe very strongly in the United Kingdom, backing the belfast agreement with a huge majority saying that Northern Ireland remained in the uk until there should be a border poll, so Northern Ireland should adhere to the same rules as the whole of the rest of the uk. To be clear, you dont think there should be any distinct or separate dealfor there should be any distinct or separate deal for Northern Ireland . Emphatically not. I did look at the figures on your broadcast yesterday, if you look at the Statistical Research figures for the sales, 66 of Northern Ireland sales go to great britain, sorry, stay in Northern Ireland, 5 only 5 go to the order. This is cultural and agricultural product which could easily be sorted with technology. The head of the hmrc under real pressure from remainders really pushing the idea it would be a disaster, saying it would be fine. You clearly believe a deal was on table to have regulatory equivalence between north and south. If you say, no, there is not going to be any special arrangement. . |j no, there is not going to be any special arrangement. . I dont know what promises have been made, but it would be completely unacceptable for many in the dup and in our party if there was a separate deal for Northern Ireland. No one is looking ahead. If we will do trade deals around the world, where economies are growing much faster than europe, we must have the right to do our trade steals and we cant do that while we are in the Customs Union and the Single Market. It is impossible to have part of the United Kingdom in a different regime. Also, who says we dont want to provide Better Regulation . We might have better and higher regulation standards and compensate farmers accordingly. There are now only eight or nine days left until the uk and soul until the u given the gap between the brussels, Northern Ireland and westminster position, what other conclusion conclusions that must be reached . No deal is better than a bad deal, it is no good at making endless concessions prior to talks. A number of us and leading businessman and academics said in october that we should give fair warning, but what we would ideally like is zero tariffs, if they wouldnt adhere to that then we will go to a global deal. We shouldnt be frightened of that now. Is that your sense of where the likelihood is we will end 7 where the likelihood is we will end up . Further concessions on money, all sorts of very bad rumours on the court ofjustice, that it would be like shanghai in the 18th century. We will be in a court way outside our jurisdiction. We will be in a court way outside ourjurisdiction. We will be relaxed here, we have heard from the head of cussons that that will be doable. What we dont want is for these talks to dribble on and find there is no deal. Much the best as they sit down and realise we are sirius and we want to have a reciprocal free trade deal on an tariffs, we are serious. Were not going to break the unity of the United Kingdom about a very small amount of goods going back and forth over the irish border. Come back in december and see if you can talk about trade in those terms. Just a reminder, when mrs mae struck that deal with the dup on which her parliamentary majority depends, that was a difficult and protracted process. Here, that is only until next thursday at the maximum to reach an agreement. The pressure is really now on mrs mae. The Prime Minister. We are hearing that the shadow secretary will be asking for a statement on the progress of the brexit process. That will be at 1230. Saying that it has been disappointing and blaming the Prime Minister for the stalling of the process. 0ur ireland correspondent chris page is at stormont. The dup are so pivotal here, they hold all the cards, what is their next move . Yesterday the music coming out of brussels seem to be very positive, the Irish Government we re very positive, the Irish Government were suggesting a deal could be imminentand then were suggesting a deal could be imminent and then very suddenly the centre of gravity switched here to stormont and Arlene Foster gave that press co nfe re nce stormont and Arlene Foster gave that press conference saying that the dup we re press conference saying that the dup were not happy about what was being talked about. For the dup, they would say that their position on this has been very consistent. Arlene foster said in her Party Conference speech the week before last that the dup wouldnt accept anything that significantly set apart Northern Ireland from the rest of the uk in political or economic terms. They would say that perhaps our position on this shouldnt really have come as a surprise. As regards where it goes from here, the dup are in this position, they have ten and peas sustaining ten mps sustaining theresa may in government. They will need to find some new language or phrase in the text to satisfy them. They do not big do not know how the circle can be squared with new border controls, not least them wanting to follow the same regulations as the rest of ireland. Yesterday, it was thought that the Irish Government were the ones with the power of veto who would stymie this deal if anyone was going to, in the end it was the dup. In terms of dublin, what happened there . There has been Cabinet Meeting in dublin, the Irish ForeignAffairs Minister who is also the countrys debbie didnt minister had a brief word on his way in and he said that deputy minister. He said that deputy minister. He said they will continue to work on presentational issues in the text that had been agreed on the irish border, so the key phrase there was about continued regulatory alignment. That seems to have been what worried the dup. Exactly what that meant, it perhaps wasnt going to get nailed down until a later point in the brexit negotiations. It was that language that chimed with the dups concern about there being some sort of trade barrier. They said the core meaning of that text must remain because the Irish Government wouldnt be reversing out ofan government wouldnt be reversing out of an agreement that they had secured, they felt, yesterday. Their position is not going to change, what with all rounders map now leave the British Government as they try to square the circle in such a powerful position in westminster . Thank you. The first minister of scotland, the snp first minister nicholas kurt cammack sturgeon has been tweeting. Nicola sturgeon. She said. James shaw is in glasgow for us this morning, james watt is Nicola Sturgeons game . Morning, james watt is Nicola Sturgeons game . Its interesting. It isa sturgeons game . Its interesting. It is a subtle change of position between what she was saying yesterday, essentially her message being if there is a special deal for Northern Ireland, why cant there be one for scotland, now she is saying perhaps that deal should extend to the whole of the uk and opening up the whole of the uk and opening up the prospect of some sort of alliance between her party the snp, conservatives here in favour of a soft brexit and she is also reaching out to the labour party. We have also heard from Ruth Davidson, the leader of the conservatives in scotland, she says if regulatory alignment in a number of specific areas is a requirement for a frictionless border, then the Prime Minister should conclude that this must be on a uk wide basis. In a way, that is similar to what Nicola Sturgeon is saying, the idea of a soft brexit deal which encompasses the whole of the uk. As theresa may faces all these difficulties and all these pressures, Nicola Sturgeon trying to make maximum capital out of it. Absolutely right. She would do that, you will hear snp people making the argument that she has done it herself, if scotland was and independent country, it would be similarto independent country, it would be similar to where ireland was, but i think it is interesting. We will hear from nicola think it is interesting. We will hearfrom Nicola Sturgeon later today, we will hear from labour as well. Nicola sturgeon is unveiling her Christmas Card at noon.

Lets look at some of todays other developing stories parents are being warned about the dangers of Live Streaming apps, after it emerged paedophiles are increasingly using them to manipulate their victims. The caution from the National CrimeAgency Follows a week long operation by uk authorities, which led to the arrest of more than 190 people for child sexual abuse. Angus crawford reports. Hands up all those who have used Live Streaming . Aged 13 and 1a, they know about apps which let children broadcast live from their phones. Today, they are talking about how to do it safely. Somebody could be trying to take you. 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 someone is following someone 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 there is no proper checking of age 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 periscope. Now read the comments. We dont want to identify them. She isjust nine. Almost 1,000 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. This is an actress but the words are true. Those of a mother whose 10 year old daughter tried out the app 0megle 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 then 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 they are 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 .
