1:39 pm
police have been needing a land—based surge since yesterday evening. there is very difficult and hazardous terrain involved and it is in the area outside of the snowdonia. poor weather has been hampering the search that reduced visibility. all of our volunteer mountain rescue teams from snowdonia are involved along with the raf, mountain rescue team. we have been able to deploy air assets when the weather allowed us. as i have said, the crash site has been located along with five people, all of whom are deceased. we are preserving the scene for a joint investigation with the area investigation branch. the government has outlined its plans for transferring thousands of eu laws into british legislation. the great repeal bill published today would bring laws governing workers rights through to environment under uk jurisdiction.
1:40 pm
addressing mps, the brexit secretary david davis said the bill would provide clarity and certainty for people and businesses on the day the uk leaves the eu. as the prime minister said it is our fierce determination to get the right deal for every single person. now is the time to come together to ensure the uk as a whole is prepared for the challenges and opportunities presented by our exit from the eu. we are being clear we want a smooth and orderly exit and the great repeal bill is integral to that approach. it'll provide clarity and certainty for businesses, workers and consumers across the uk on the day we leave the eu. it mean that as we exit the eu and seek new deep as special partnership with the european union will be doing so from a position where we have the same standards and rules. it will also ensure we deliver on our promise to
1:41 pm
end the supremacy of european union law in the uk as we exit. our laws will be made in london, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast and interpreted not byjudges in luxembourg that the judges across the uk. some have been concerned that parliament will not play in a fluffy role in shaping the future of the country once we have left the eu. today's white paper shows how wrong that is. there will bea shows how wrong that is. there will be a series of bills to vote on before and after we leave as well as many is instruments to consider. the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer warned against the lack of safeguards in the bill as he said it gives significant powers to the executive. mr speaker, nobody underestimates the task of converting eu law into domestic law. but the question is, how is it done and what is done? the white paper on the question of how gives sweeping powers to the executive. sweeping, because it proposes a power to use delegated legislation to correct and thus
1:42 pm
change primary legislation and also devolved legislation by delegated legislation. sweeping, because of the sheer scale of the exercise. now, in those circumstances, one might expect some pretty rigorous safeguards to the use of these sweeping powers. but none are found in the white paper. on the contrary, in paragraph 3.20 the white paper says this, "given the scale of the changes that will be "necessary and the finite amount of time available "to make them, there is a balance that will have to be struck between "the importance of scrutiny and the speed of the process." and it goes on to say, "the government proposes using existing types of statutory instrument procedure", so there's no enhanced safeguard for this sweeping use of powers. the first minister of scotland theresa may has
1:43 pm
the criticised the government's plans to transfer powers from brussels to westminster once britain has left the european union. the great repeal bill will convert thousands of european regulations into uk law, and end the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. addressing holyrood nicola sturgeon referred to the bill as a "power grab". under the current terms of the scotland act, those powers should automatically come to this chamber. but nobody in the uk government, and i discussed this with the prime minister on monday, nobody on the conservative benches will give that guarantee. which leads me to suspect that what the tories are actually planning is a power grab on this parliament. and that will be absolutely unacceptable, and when that happens, i don't expect the tories to back us up. but at that point, i will be looking very carefully at the labour benches, because surely, not even labour in those circumstances could stay subservient to the tories. surely even they would
1:44 pm
have to stand up for scotland. we will be returning to westminster as two o'clock. the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harry have released a series of films as part of a campaign designed to encourage people to talk about mental health. the heads together campaign aims to lift the stigma around mental health and features celebrities talking about their own issues. let's watch ruby wax and her husband ed talk about their first ever conversation about her mental health issues moments before they got married. my my recollection is we didn't have far to my recollection is we didn't have farto go, we my recollection is we didn't have far to go, we were walking down the aisle... there was no aisle. it is three feet. you told me those three things. how old you really were. that i had been married twice before and that i was mentally ill. which was the head basher? all three. you
1:45 pm
can imaginea was the head basher? all three. you can imagine a grenade went off. then i started laughing. you laughed. i got confused because i signed the register, best wishes, ruby wax. and then we never mentioned it again. they did scare you that i had said that? it is not a huge surprise but it does click, oh, ok, that might explain this or that. ikeep explain this or that. i keep thinking about the day i knew you are the best news ever was when i was you are the best news ever was when iwas in you are the best news ever was when i was in the hospital and i had to interview somebody who was mentally ill for your website and we were filming here. everybody in the institution said, are you insane? i put lipstick on and they all cheered me as put lipstick on and they all cheered measl put lipstick on and they all cheered me as i left. i interviewed a person with depression. i could see that person looking at me and thinking, you are way sicker than i am. and then i drove you back to the
1:46 pm
institution. whenever you got depression you concede it was a panic because of the confusion about what is happening in your head. if you are close to somebody with depression, you have got to help them, make the first move to understand they are sick. in your case it is about being amongst people who suffer the same thing say you can compare notes and support each other. i have seen you talk to other people with depression and it is like a unique club. i am only relieved when i am with other people that have a mental illness. if i see the eyes of another, we have that understanding about is the healing. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc news. the government sets out plans to transfer powers from the european union to westminster. the brexit secretary, david davis, tells mps the great repeal bill enables them to abolish and improve laws. as eu leaders gather in malta, angela merkel says that
1:47 pm
after brexit, the eu has to "put effort into europe". north wales police say the bodies of five people have been found with the wreckage of a missing helicopter in snowdonia. hello, india business news: —— in the business news: lloyds of london and brussels! the world's biggest insurance market confirms it's moving some of its business to the continent in response to brexit. we'll hear from the boss injust a moment. hennes & mauritz is launching its eighth brand and is investing heavily to get its clothes faster into shops. the announcement comes after it reported sluggish sales growth. the new brand, arket, will be launched this autumn, starting with a shop in london, and will offer more expensive clothes than h&m for men, women and children. toshiba's management has come under fierce criticism from shareholders, despite investors approving plans to sell its memory chip unit. the company needs money to plug a gaping hole at its us
1:48 pm
nuclear unit westinghouse, which filed for bankruptcy protection on wednesday. toshiba is struggling with debt that some warn might threaten its future. good afternoon. the world's biggest insurance market, lloyd's of london, has confirmed it will establish a new european base in brussels to avoid losing business when the uk leaves the eu. it will be up and running byjanuary 2019. lloyds has warned that without the move, brexit could have a significant impact on its continental business which generates £2.9 billion a year, that's11% of its business. lloyds also says it made pre—tax profits of about £2 billion. earlier we spoke to the chief executive of lloyds of london, inga beale. she explained why they chose brussels as their new european base. we wa nted we wanted to have a really top quality robust regulator, brussels
1:49 pm
fits that bill. we wanted to have greater access to talent. we needed to hire great people and that is an excellent place to go. we've got to think about accessibility how easy is it to get from london. how easy is it from elsewhere on the continent to be able to get that place? we also wanted to consider the likelihood of the country staying within the eu in the country staying within the eu in the future because that is an important factor as well. let's cross to the us now where the trump administration is pushing for a revamped version of the north american free trade agreement. now this is the free trade agreement between the us, canada and mexico. the president wants to improve access for us companies. the trump administration is signaling to congress it let's get more with samira hussain who's at the new york stock exchange. what are these changes? this is a draft proposal that was presented to members of congress and then the proposals we are seeing things like, there are panels that
1:50 pm
their countries can use to make a complaint was there have been a lots of people who are worried these panels, they circumvent civil courts and it could endanger the 70 some countries other things were things like addressing some currency this discrepancy is. also to address the trade deficit is that the united states has with mexico and canada. none of those things are in this d raft none of those things are in this draft proposal. this isjust a draft. if you compare this to the kind of retallick we heard from the presidential nominee, donald trump, he campaigned hard on repealing and replacing and getting lots of changes to it because he thought the deal was unfair and it hurt america's manufacturing sector. if you think about those ideas and look at the draft proposal the two don't
1:51 pm
match. i was going to say, it has been described as a u—turn. is that fair? i wouldn't necessarily a u—turn. this is a draft proposal so they could be a lot more room for negotiations. if this is the first crack at it it seems very far—away from the kind of language we heard from the kind of language we heard from the kind of language we heard from the president when he was campaigning things like i am going to walk away from it, it is an unfair trade deal. that is on proposal that is in this draft that is gaining some popularity and it is one that would allow countries, if thatis one that would allow countries, if that is a flood of goods from another country and it has the domestic industry, then that country could impose tariffs. this is something the clinton administration wanted to include 20 years ago when it was signed but mexico did not agree. let's leave it there. thank you very much. you might have expected european financial markets to be rattled by the formal opening of the brexit process.
1:52 pm
but, no. trading has been rather sluggish across the continent's stock exchanges this morning. the ftse in the red at the moment. morrison's jumped 25% in morrison'sjumped 25% in morning trade after citibank had said it would upgrade it from an underperformer to abide. imagine going to a restaurant where the meal costs just a pound. that was the aim of national kitchens set up by the government during the first world war to help ensure everyone had access to food. well, one hundred years on, there are calls to revive the concept. tim muffett is in liverpool to find out more. 100 years ago 1917, and national kitchens were introduced. there were immense food shortages during world war i.
1:53 pm
the idea was to feed people healthily and cheaply. now, is it an idea that could catch on once more? that is the hope of those organising this national kitchens event in liverpool today. dr brice evans from liverpool hope university. why are you doing it? i think we've forgotten social eating, really. you think today about food poverty and food banks and really, the basic food bank model is go there, hand overyourticket, get your food and take it away. this is completely different. it's about coming together communally, eating together, socialising together, which not a lot of people do these days. and also the decoration. the ministry of food, back in the first world war, said that these places should be centres of civilisation. well decorated, flowers, gramophones, pianos. let's talk about the history, then. what where national kitchens? they were dining schemes run locally. there were upwards of 1000 in britain during the first world war. and they were run locally, voluntary efforts a lot of the time. but when the state sponsors them, they become sort of nationalised, run by the state on a line of price
1:54 pm
control, but also nutritious eating. so it's cheap food and healthy food. thanks very much indeed. let's have a quick chat to those who are putting together these meals for a very low price. natalie, you are from the realjunk food project in liverpool. how do you do it and what kind of budget are you working with them? the food that we're going to be serving this evening, will have come together for the equivalent of £2.79 in modern money. so the way that we get our food is that we intercept stuff that would otherwise have been thrown away and gone to landfill and we use the authentic menus of the time. what kind of ingredients are you working with to do that? the food we've intercepted is sausage and party and some vegetables. we're going to make some stews. we have a 1916 trench cake, rice pudding and honey cake. what demand will there be for this event, do you think? we have sold out this evening, so we're expecting 120 people. and there will be a series of events across the
1:55 pm
northwest over the next few weeks. and hopefully, that will lead to more regular things like this. thanks ever so much. let's have a quick chat to the volunteers who are going to be helping out. as you see, wearing authentic costumes. neil, why did you want to be involved? why is it an important thing, do you think? it's important for us to remember what happened 100 years ago. so for people of my generation, national kitchens and communal living and communal dining together is something that we don't really do, so it's good for us to re—enact it and remember that 100 years ago, these national kitchens were how people lived. thanks. i'll let you carry on getting yourself ready. the event kicks off here tonight. there will be others in other cities in the uk. cardiff, manchester and nottingham as well. it's an idea that is 100 years old. but there are people who think that cheap healthy food, eating communally, is something which could catch on once more. we will be with jane hill in
1:56 pm
westminster on the top of the hour but first let's get the weather. looking out over the landscape of middling land. lancashire, very 5°99y middling land. lancashire, very soggy there. there has been heavy rain around. it has been wet across southern scotland, wales, west wales in particular and down towards the far south—west. most of us are dry, some of us are far south—west. most of us are dry, some of us are very warm far south—west. most of us are dry, some of us are very warm indeed. no more so some of us are very warm indeed. no more so than parts of east anglia. i picked that hampstead because weather watchers have been out in abundance this morning. a beautiful picture of the spring blossom. somebody somewhere will reach 22 degrees this afternoon, that is good for this time of the year. plenty much of that to come this afternoon. the cloud is a bit thicker here so
1:57 pm
maybe the odd shower worth though still a lot of dry weather. wet weather across west wales, further rain to come across northern parts of england and southern scotland. plenty of sunshine across the northern isles of scotland. it is about 10 degrees cooler than in the south—east. as we head into the evening, a few showers across the south—east that the main push of rain continues to be in the northern and western parts of the uk. heavy rain to come here. murky on the high ground. nationwide, no problems with frost. positively muggy. another one started day. some early sunshine but then we will see things clouding over. the wettest weather will be further north, scotland seeing a pretty wet day before eventually it dries up. some dryness for most of us. dries up. some dryness for most of us. another clutch of showers coming from the west. low to mid teens typically. 17 degrees in the south
1:58 pm
east. the weekend, we've got this trough of low pressure for saturday and that means showers and this little ridge of high pressure coming in from the west. a fine day on sunday. here is saturday. don't take the position of the blobs of blue bitterly. —— literally. april showers with the first day of the month. chilly on saturday night and then sunday looks like being fine and dry. that is the better of the two days. showers will be isolated and it will feel quite fabulous in the sunshine. this is bbc news. i'm jane hill live in westminster. the headlines at 2. the government unveiled its plans to tra nsfer the government unveiled its plans to transfer thousands of pieces of eu legislation to the uk statute book as britain leaves the european union. we have been clear that we want a smooth and orderly exit — and the great repeal bill
1:59 pm
is integral to that approach. it will provide clarity and certainty for businesses, workers and consumers across the united kingdom, on the day that we leave the eu. angela merkel says that after brexit, the eu has to "put effort into europe". i'm simon mccoy. the other stories that are developing this hour: north wales police say the bodies of five people have been found with the wreckage of a missing helicopter in snowdonia. a woman awoman and a woman and her 13—year—old son have died after being stabbed at their
