but the real question is what do the pupils think? i feel more comfortable and ifind a new experience of learning a different way. without wearing your shoes it feels more comfy and like you are in a house and you don't always have to wear footwear and it doesn't really feel like you are in a classroom, it feels wide and feels like you are home. without shoes it makes you feel like you are much more at home instead of being restricted. i don't know why, but ijust like to have my toes being able to... i don't know, be free. the science behind it all comes from a 10—year study covering 25 countries which found leaving shoes at the door created a calmer and quieter environment with children spending even longer in the classroom and teachers here believe it's working. going to work is about more than being able to tie your shoelace for a start. the skills children learn by being in these flexible learning zones are actually the skills that employers really cry out for.

there has been criticism, though, some worry children are missing out on formal skills, but after four years of no shoes here this school believes others should be following in their footsteps. frankie mccamley, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. it's one of those weeks where we are looking at unsettled weather conditions and as the week goes by it is going to turn increasingly windy, as well. a succession of areas of low pressure lining up to come oui’ areas of low pressure lining up to come our way. this one might become a named storm. further west this one over the great lakes is probably cause for concern here in the uk. today we have big temperature contrasts, south—westerly winds working in to south—west england bringing mild weather, temperatures up bringing mild weather, temperatures up to 13. with the cold winds coming in from the continent temperatures struggling in eastern england and there is a significant wind chill, it isa there is a significant wind chill, it is a windy day.

cloud and rain, there will be more of that through the afternoon, probably the wettest weather in scotla nd probably the wettest weather in scotland although the rain will pick up scotland although the rain will pick up again across south—west england later in the day. a few spots really working in across central and eastern england. one place that will see sunshine is northern ireland. here temperatures reaching around 10. overnight we are going to see another pulse of rain working northwards and eastwards across england and wales. this area of rain will become slow—moving across eastern counties. it will be a wet night here. there is a risk of fog patches for northern ireland and scotland, where we could see a few patches of frost developing. otherwise a relatively mild night. into wednesday, we are looking at a wet start to the day with this slow—moving band of rain gradually edging eastwards through the day. then a brighter spell of weather comes in as we go towards the afternoon. many of us will see at least a wit bit of sunshine ahead of the next sun shine to bring rain to ireland and western parts of wales.

into thursday's pressure chart you can see a vigorous area of low pressure lining up and getting close to ireland. this could become a named storm by the irish met department. but for the uk it is going to be a wet and windy day with gales around our coasts and hills. we will see that rain pushing east as the day goes by. the winds coming in from the south so a relatively mild day. temperatures up to around 12. take a look at this pressure chart. what a beasty this is, a deep area of low pressure. this could bring us disruptive weather. the computer models have different ideas about where this area of low pressure is going. it could bring some severe gales to parts of the united kingdom, with a risk of disruption. but some of the computer models take that low instead to france bringing disruptive weather to the french. either way, it looks like someone's going to be hit hard, we are not sure whether it is the uk or france. we will work on that over the next few days. that's it from us. so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

hello, this is the latest sports news just after half past one. claims that lord coe misled and mps inquiry are group of the new e—mails confirm he knew about corruption allegations in his sport for months before they became public. the iaaf accident told they select committee he was not aware of specific allegations of corruption around the russian doping scandal but an e—mail to the ethics commission in august 2014 states, i have now been made aware of the allegations. he denies there is any discrepancy between his evidence and what the e—mails suggest the new. the shadow minister for sport save the e—mails cast serious doubt over the evidence previously given to the inquiry. dreams have come true for non—league sudden united. chery —— sutton

united. that was the moment that the lowest ranked team left in the cup found out they will host 12 time fa cup winners arsenal in the next round. the premier league team will be making the trip to gander green lane with a capacity of 5000, 55,000 less tha n lane with a capacity of 5000, 55,000 less than the emirates. the transfer window closes in england and scotla nd window closes in england and scotland later and one deal which has gone through is emmanuel adebayor who has signed for an istanbul club currently second in the turkish top division. the former arsenal, manchester city and totte n ha m arsenal, manchester city and tottenham striker has spent six months without a club. in the final few hours before the window closing there will be seven premier league fixtures later. liverpool are up against chelsea. jurgen klopp‘s team go into the game on the back of three straight home defeat and they are ten points adrift of the league leaders. i can say nothing about

chelsea's position, we have only one thing to do which is to try everything to keep these three pointer here. again, no influence them if they lose and win the rest, they are probably the champion. that is not how we have to think about it, it is only the game. and it is an interesting challenge for us because they are in a good moment. that means something but not everything. that's football. we lost a few games we should have won. and i think a few games we should have won. and ithinka a few games we should have won. and i think a lot of people think in this moment it could be difficult for liverpool and it is difficult, no doubt about this, but possible. and so, who wants to help, you are very welcome. i think it will be a very welcome. i think it will be a very tough game. we know this. they came after three defeats. and we

must pay great attention because liverpool is a really good team. and is in the six teams that can fight until the end to win the title or to find a place in champions league. big match tonight. that is the sport for now. you can follow all the latest on transfer deadline day on our website. who will your team potentially sign? all of the comings and goings throughout the day. for now, that is all, i will be back in about an hour. thank you. you are watching bbc news. mps are debating the government's parliament get brexit underway and ken clarke is now on his feet. the best speaker of the eurosceptic cause i probably ever heard in this house of commons, if he was here he would probably

find it amazing to believe that his party had become eurosceptic and rather mildly anti—immigrant in a very strange way in 2016. i'm afraid, on that, i have not followed them andl afraid, on that, i have not followed them and i don't intend to do so. there are very serious issues which we re there are very serious issues which were not addressed in the referendum and have been touched on, the single market and customs union, and that must be properly debated. it is absurd to say that every elector knew what the difference was between the customs union and the single market and had taken a careful and studied view on the basis of our future trade relations with europe. the fact is, i admire the prime ministerand her the fact is, i admire the prime minister and her colleagues for their constant propounding of the principles of free trade. my party has not changed that, we are believers in free trade, it is a win—win situation, we were leading

advocate of liberal economic policies in the european powers and are free traders. it seems to me that it are free traders. it seems to me thatitis are free traders. it seems to me that it is an arguable that if you put between us and the biggest free market in the world new tariffs, new regulatory barriers, new customs procedures, certificates of origin and so on, you are bound to be weakening your economic position thanit weakening your economic position than it would otherwise have been, other things being equal, in future. that is why it is important that at issue —— that that issue is addressed. we are combining withdrawal from the single market and the customs union with this great new globalised future which offers tremendous opportunities for us. offers tremendous opportunities for us. apparently you follow the rabbit down the hole and you emerge in

wonderland where suddenly countries throughout the world are queueing up to give us trading advantages and access to the markets that previously we had never been able to achieve as part of the european union. nice men like presidents trump. president erdogan. they are impatient to abandon their normal protectionism and give us access, don't let me be too cynical, i hope that's right. i do want the best outcome for the united kingdom from this process. no doubt somewhere there is a fatter holding a tea party with a dormouse! —— a hatter. we need success in these trading negotiations to recoup at least some of the losses which we are going to incur from leaving the single

market. and if all is lost on the main principle, that is the big principle this house must get control of an address seriously in public debates and votes from now oi'i. public debates and votes from now on. i hope i have adequately explained that my views have not been shaken very much on this issue over the decades and have actually somewhat strengthened. most people here are familiar with burke's address and i always firmly believe that every mp should vote on an issue of this importance according to their view of the best national interest. i would to their view of the best national interest. iwould never quote burke but i will paraphrase him, saying to his constituents, if i no longer give you the benefit of myjudgment and simply follow your orders, i am not serving you, i am betraying you.

i personally shall be voting with my conscience content in this vote and when we see what unfolds a raft as we leave the european union i hope the consciences of other members of parliament remain equally content. mr angus robertson. the amendment is table in his name but it is mr gethin is who will speak to the house. mr stephen gethins. i beg to move the moment in my name and that of the right honourable member for murray and other colleagues including representatives of the different constituent parts of the uk and i thank colleagues by having backed our amendment. can i also say what a privilege it is to follow the right honourable member for rushcliffe who

has spoken a huge amount of sense to the house today and a great deal more sense than we hear from these benches certainly in recent times. he made some exceptional points and i thank he made some exceptional points and ithank him he made some exceptional points and i thank him for them and it is a privilege that he will be voting with us tomorrow evening. in particular he made some good point about the benefits of the european union and it is important we reflect even briefly on them. the eu has an impact on all of us, from the progress we have made as member states on protecting rights, workers' rights, parents rights, the environment, to helping secure peace, security and prosperity over the past 70 years, something that was never ever guaranteed. there are endless reasons for voting for our amendment today and i know another —— are a number of my colleagues will be catching up on that over today and tomorrow. one of the big ones and the main ones has to be the

question around scrutiny. for what is the purpose of having a parliament, what is the purpose of us being here if it is not to scrutinise the work of the government? i have to say that this government's unwillingness to put this decision under any kind of proper scrutiny reflect a lack of confidence in their own position and the process once this has been done. it is good to see that in spite of the government's best effort that we are going to get a say on the triggering of article 50 but we did have to drag them kicking and screaming and at great expense into this situation. i also think it is imperative on all members in this house to reflect on the debt of gratitude we owe to gina miller who has made this debate today possible and we should all reflect on that. and on the amendment, primarily what we wa nt and on the amendment, primarily what we want is scrutiny. in our white

paper yet to be published, it is interesting that you are not publishing a white paper by the time we have a debate and you want to publish one after we have had a debate and after the bill has been passed. that must surely be unprecedented. secondly the lack of respect for the devolution settlement. also the consequences of leaving the eu without certainty, and the kind of vision of the uk thatis and the kind of vision of the uk that is being created. one enormous step that the government could have made, and this was touched upon by the honourable member for made, and this was touched upon by the honourable memberfor rushcliffe and by the memberfor holborn the honourable memberfor rushcliffe and by the member for holborn and the honourable memberfor rushcliffe and by the memberfor holborn and st pancras, is the fact that european nationals contribute so much to our country and when you need friends and influence is as government surely is, what they should do is give those eu nationals the certainty that we need. let me reflect on why we are here with so much uncertainty. the leave campaign

campaigned ona much uncertainty. the leave campaign campaigned on a blank piece of paper. that was an act of gross irresponsibility and an act of negligence that has been carried over by this government over the past nine months. that goes to the heart of why we need a white paper andi heart of why we need a white paper and i have to say, and the secretary of state is taking his place that leave ministers currently in government and previously in government and previously in government have particular culpability around the uncertainty in which we find ourselves at the moment. will we get the white paper before the committee stage? will we go through the normal process that we see a white paper before our bill is passed? we see a white paper before our bill is passed ? it we see a white paper before our bill is passed? it has certainly been the practice in the past when this place has been given a say. the memberfor rushcliffe was reflecting on european debates gone by. maybe as a reminder i can tell members that before the amsterdam treaty negotiations in 1996john

before the amsterdam treaty negotiations in 1996 john major published a white paper before he went into those negotiations. gordon brown was in charge when the lisbon treaty went through and he published a white paper. what are they afraid of? my right honourable friend, the memberfor gordon, it of? my right honourable friend, the member for gordon, it in of? my right honourable friend, the memberfor gordon, it in placed just now and he has some experience of referendums and scrutiny. this is what a proper white paper looks like. 670 pages of details about what the country looks like published a year before the referendum instead of scrabbling about for the odd detail almost a year after the referendum. that is a disgrace and they should be ashamed and on that point i will give weight. i think the honourable gentleman for giving way. could he tell this house what that white paper told the people of scotland,

what currency they would be using? the honourable member raises a good point. the white paper talks about the currency and he's right and actually come even more than the white paper, there was a fiscal commission working group set up. my word, so much work put into it, so much more, and on the point of modernity and the progress for this country... i will give way.|j modernity and the progress for this country... iwill give way. iam very grateful to the honourable gentleman but i seem to remember that these goddess people blew a large rosemary at that white paper! —— scottish people blew a large raspberry. it is a great pity if not trust the people enough to give them some details. and can i gently remind the house that this is a big

deal? we're notjust giving up the bargain box sets, this has an impact on each and every one of us, each and every one. we published the details, we can reflect on that, you don't have the courage of your convictions. order. i know the honourable gentleman is in a state of great animation and excitement andl of great animation and excitement and i don't want to spoil that for him but! and i don't want to spoil that for him but i have always had the courage of my convictions and therefore his breach of alimentary prodigal in this case is mildly offensive and can i remind him that debate goes through the chair. the word you is not only not required but it should be deleted from any pa rt of but it should be deleted from any part of his text. studio: we're going to pull away from that in just a moment. there are two days of debate which will finish tomorrow night because of the number of

amendments tabled. 99 people wanted to speak on it today. in a moment a summary of the business news but first the headlines. president trump has sacked the acting us attorney general sally yates, accusing her of betrayal after she refused to enforce his travel ban. a former senior civil servant says a state visit by president trump this year puts the queen in ‘a difficult position'. mps are debating the government's bill to trigger the formal process of leaving the european union. in the business news today... deutsche bank has been fined £504 million by us and uk regulators in connection with a russian money laundering plan. under the scheme, clients illegally moved $10 billion out of russia via shares bought and sold through the bank's moscow, london and new york offices. authorities said deutsche had missed "numerous opportunities" to detect, investigate and stop the scheme. a boom in building work, cities

across the uk are reporting record levels of construction. birmingham, manchester, leeds and belfast are building close to precrisis levels. royal dutch shell has agreed to sell almost £2.5 billion worth of north sea assets to oil exploration firm chrysaor as part of continuing efforts to reduce their debt. shell wants to sell £24 billion of assets by 2018 to help pay off debt following its takeover of bg group. this deal represents about half of shell's 2016 north sea output. bookmakers are furious about what they have called a flawed report on gambling by mps. the bookmakers' trade body has reacted angrily to the report on fixed—odd betting terminals. those are the machines you get in betting shops on the high street. mps have recommended that the maximum stake for gambling on the electronic terminals in a bookmakers shop is cut to just £2. currently the maximum stake is £100 and they account for more than 50% of bookmakers' profits. joining me now is the mp carolyn harris, the chair of the fixed odds betting terminals all party parliamentary group.

let's start by talking about the report. the association of british bookmakers has said that it was funded by companies with commercial interests in casinos and say that it is flawed. what is your response?” can't make up my mind if they are deluded or disappointed that we managed to get our point across so strongly also it is ludicrous for them to suggest that this was based entirely in order to favour one sector of the industry. it is people who have a genuine concern about the serious and crippling damage these machines are having on our high streets and on the individual lives of people. the difference between us is that the bookies deal in profit and we deal in people. for them to suggest it is flawed is absolutely ridiculous. one of the recommendations is to reduce the

sta ke recommendations is to reduce the stake on these machines from £100 down to £2. if somebody wants to gamble on the higher stakes, surely they will go to a casino or online and do it anyway and you are not getting rid of the problem? most casinos don't have these machines, they encourage face—to—face gambling where they have controls. they will have over 600 staff in casinos werros in a bookies you could have to members of staff. people using the machines, if people are accessi bly the machines, if people are accessibly gambling in a casino they will have better protection but in a bookies it is one or two people who will not be appropriately trained to deal with people who did angry with their addiction and therefore it causes major problems. bookmakers is a license, regulated environment, so it is that the huge amount of change? massive. the higher the sta kes, change? massive. the higher the stakes, the more regulation, simple as that. at the moment bookies have

ca rte as that. at the moment bookies have carte blanche as that. at the moment bookies have ca rte blanche on as that. at the moment bookies have carte blanche on having casino style gambling on the high street where people can walk in and put inordinate amounts of money into a machine unsupervised and unchecked and with staff trained. thank you. in other business news, the growth of personal borrowing in the uk stalled slightly in december. outstanding personal debt rose by just £1 billion that month. it left the annual growth rate of the uk's personal debt mountain steady at 10.6%a year. nintendo has reported better—than—expected profits thanks partly to the success of its games for mobile phones. the japanese gaming giant saw profits of £456 million, in the three months to december. it will launch its newest console, called switch, in early march. online grocer ocado has delivered a significant rise in annual profits. they reported a 21.8% increase in pre—tax profits to £14.5 million for the year to the end of november. however, the average order size fell 2.7% to £108.10 against the backdrop of continuing

supermarket price wars. let's look at the markets. we should be watching the european markets because figures this morning show that the eurozone inflation hit a near four—year that the eurozone inflation hit a nearfour—year high that the eurozone inflation hit a near four—year high in january that the eurozone inflation hit a near four—year high injanuary after an increase in energy prices. inflation in the 19 country bloc jumped to1.8% inflation in the 19 country bloc jumped to 1.8% last month from 1.1% the month before. i will be back with more business use throughout the afternoon. thank you. i will be joined thank you. i will bejoined by thank you. i will be joined by anita mcveigh for the headlines at 2pm but first the weather. it will be an unsettled week and it will get increasingly windy, may be stormy by friday with a succession of low pressure systems lining up in the atlantic waiting to swing towards us. thursday could be a concern for ireland and in the us, this area of low pressure around the

quake lakes could be of significance to us here and i will tell you about that in —— great lakes. big temperature contrasts around, mild in the south and west with cabbages of 13 but still cold winds from the continent keep temperatures in eastern england at about 4 degrees —— temperatures. through the rest of the afternoon it'll stay quite damp with the wettest weather in scotland but the rain will pick up again later in the south—west. northern ireland drying up with such a expected over the next few hours. overnight another pulse of rain comes in across england and wales and this becomes slow—moving in the east. it'll a wet night in the eastern parts. further west there could be a few fog patches in northern ireland and scotland along with a touch of frost in the countryside but otherwise relatively mild for most. on wednesday, the rain in the eastern counties is slow

to push away but eventually it should break up and we will get a drier slice of whether i had the sunshine before the next system comes into northern ireland, wales and the south—west with more rain ending the day in those areas. quite a deep area of low pressure will come in on thursday, the strongest winds looking to be heading across ireland but for us it will be quite windy as well with dale is developing in the western and southern coasts —— gailes. temperatures around 11 or 12 degrees so quite mild with the winds from the south but look at this chart is the south but look at this chart is the end the week with a nasty area of low pressure targeting part of the uk. at the moment there is some uncertainty about the track with the brifford track taking severe weather and disruptive weather across parts of the uk —— preferred track. some forecasts take it further southward and that could take the disruptive

weather across to france. it looks like we will see some disruptive weather in our neighbourhood towards the end of the week but we're not sure if it is the uk or france who will be worst affected. this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump sacks his attorney general after she refuses to implement his controversial immigration ban. following yesterday's protests, more than 70 mps call for donald trump to be banned from addressing parliament if his state visit to britain goes ahead. downing street says it's months away and no timings have been worked out. at the core of this bill lies a very simple question. do we trust the people or not? the road to brexit — this is the scene live in westminster as mps debate the government's bill to formally trigger the process of leaving the european union. also in the next hour, fears that more adoption cases could end in failure, following a cap on funding
