the deadliest volcanic eruption in more than a century has left at least 62 people dead and many more are missing in guatemala. it came after the volcano known as fuego, or fire, erupted for more than 16 hours on sunday. the volcano is just a few kilometres from the capital, guatemala city. the grenfell fire inquiry has been told how the blaze started and why the fire doors were all factors in the fire spreading so rapidly. the inquiry was told the cladding didn't meet building regulations and was incorrectly installed. 72 people died in the fire in west london. paul manafort, former campaign managerfor donald paul manafort, former campaign manager for donald trump, paul manafort, former campaign managerfor donald trump, tried paul manafort, former campaign manager for donald trump, tried to tamper with potential witnesses, according to the us special prosecutor, robert mueller, who is trying to haven't taken into custody ahead his trial. —— have him taken into custody. you up—to—date with with the

headlines. now on bbc news — monday in parliament. hello, welcome to monday in parliament. the main news from westminster. the transport secretary promises to fix the problems on the railways after another round of timetable chaos. i'm incredibly frustrated that what should have been an improvement in services for passengers has turned into significant disruption, and i'm extremely sorry for the levels of disruption the passengers are experiencing. labour says it's time for someone else to do the job. were the prime minister not so enfeebled, she would sack him. if he had any concept of responsibility, he would resign. the transport secretary should do the right thing and step aside. also on the programme, an outcry as the department for work and pensions loses another court case on personal independent payments. this department shouldn't be

undertaking the biggest shake—up in social security this country has ever seen. it's incompetence and it's feeling the most vulnerable in our society, you must do something about it. and a novel way to fight donald trump's tariffs on steel and aluminium. we can do it, golf! he likes golf, let's have some golf tariffs on golf owners in scotland, let's bring them in immediately. but first, mps returned to westminster today after a one—week break. they hit the ground running with one urgent question and three statements from ministers. the rowdiest exchanges came during the transport secretary's statement about ongoing chaos on the railways caused by timetabling changes. passengers on certain attempting railway networks have faced repeated delays and cancellations. chris grayling said the timetable change was supposed to deliver benefits to passengers, but have instead resulted in unacceptable disruption. i want to be actually clear, passengers on these franchises

are facing totally unsatisfactory levels of service. and it's mine and my department's number one priority to make sure the industry restores reliability for passengers at an acceptable level as soon as possible. i want to assure passengers affected i share their frustration, and i'm sorry this has taken place. he announced there would be an inquiry into what went wrong. but this solution could ultimately only be delivered by the rail industry. these problems could only be fixed by network rail, and the train operators methodically working through the timetables and replanning train paths and driver resourcing to deliver a more reliable service. i completely understand that passengers are angry at the disruption in recent weeks. and that is why, mr speaker, there must be a special compensation scheme for passengers on affected routes. no—one will take responsibility for great britain's rail industry. but amid all the clamour, recriminations and the buck passing

which characterises discussions about rail, there is one person who is ultimately responsible, and that is the right honourable gentleman, the member for epsom and ewell, the secretary of state for transport. but he blames network rail for the timetabling failures. he seems to forget that as a company limited by guarantee, network rail has one member. the secretary of state for transport. were the prime minister not so enfeebled, she would sack him. if he had any concept of responsibility, he would resign. the transport secretary should do the right thing and step aside. mr speaker, i was rather expecting him to say that, and i'll simply responding by saying it is myjob to make sure the problem is fixed, and that is what i intend to do. but i would say they can't

have it both ways. half the time he says to me that the government should run the railways, and when something goes wrong, he says it's the government's fault. a continually highlights the failings. when will he accept that he is responsible for network rail and fall on his own sword, because the apology isn't good enough? i think the key issue now is to sort out the problems. he asked about the failings of my department and elsewhere... particularly to make sure it cannot happen again. why, in his letter to mp5, does the secretary of state fail to take any responsibility for his department's role in the shambles endured by passengers up and down the country? i expect the upcoming review to look at all the players, including my department. but i would say to to her is the industry readiness board set up by my department to assess the process of introducing the new timetable recommended in may

that the timetable could go ahead. several conservative mps also voiced their frustration. may i make a respectful suggestion to my right honourable friend, and that is the rail industry be taken quietly outside and disposed of? may i ask him if he is aware that the rail service, which he has always taken an interest in, has finally fallen over completely? the trains are shorter and more overcrowded, the people's private lives are being destroyed, and this whole thing is an absolutely disaster and must be put right! mr speaker, i simply say i completely agree with him, and i communicated that to the company concerned. chris grayling, having a testing time in the commons. now, mps have been mulling over how to respond to a controversial

decision by the us president donald trump to impose import tariffs of 25% on steel and aluminium from the european union, canada, and mexico. the move poses a potentially serious blow to the british steel industry. so, will the uk retaliate against us products? the international trade secretary insisted the government was committed to free and fair trade. we're deeply disappointed the us taken this unjustified decision, particularly on grounds of national security. we share a strong defence and security cooperation relationship. the use of national defence as the rationale for this action threatens to create a worrying global precedent. we are clear that these unjustified additional tariffs could harm consumers, hold back growth, and alternately damage industry by driving up the price of imports and productions, and diminished global competitiveness. he said it was important not to escalate the situation.

we remain committed to defending the uk steel industry and its employees. the government will continue to press the us for an eu wide exception from these unjustified tariffs. mr speaker, 34,000 uk jobs in our steel industry, and 3,500 more in the aluminium industry are at risk because president trump is imposing protectionist tariffs that the rest of the world believes are illegal under wto rules. we saw him use the same protectionist policies to attack bombardier in northern ireland, but this time he has based the policy on a fundamental lie. he is pretending that these tariffs fall under section 232 of the 1962 act, and are necessary for the us national security. they are not! the imposition of us tariffs is rash, probably illegal, and certainly self—defeating. is the secretary of state

still confident that the uk can get a better deal after the uk have left the eu than they could with the european union? does he agree with me that that if the us continues to act like a rogue state, we may reach a point where it needs to be suspended from the g7? even for a member of his party referring to the united states as a rogue state, i think mr speaker gives pause for thought. steelworkers in steel communities did not wave the white flag to defend our shared values over the last 100 years. given into this, the only language that trump understands is people fighting back. it's about time this country fought back. we can do it, golf! he likes golf, let's have some golf tariffs on golf owners in scotland, let's bring them immediately and stand up for our steel communities and steelworkers,

instead of this stuff about how we can do nothing about it! fight him! there are two interesting points to that tirade of nonsense. first of all, we do not have the legal authority in the united kingdom on our own, because the european union is responsible for this on our behalf. when we lead the eu, we will have greater freedom to do so. —— leave. i say to the honourable gentleman in all seriousness, escalation is not what we require, we need a proportionate response. following these tariffs, it's reported that the us, and secretary is looking at the car industry on national security grounds. what are we undertaking against president trump's protectionist strategy? we would contend that the very mechanism itself is flawed, and i must say it is very hard to see how an aston martin to be a threat to united states national security, even ifjames bond owned it.

now, mps are to hold an emergency debate on repealing a iso—year—old law that criminalises abortion in northern ireland. the call to abolish the 186! offences against the person act came from the labour mp stella creasy. the impact of the irish referendum has been felt around the world. 2.1 million people voted, of which 1.4 million voted to repeal article eight which prevents abortion. but in doing so, they have thrown a spotlight on the situation in northern ireland where a million people are affected. the situation in which if a uk citizen is raped and seeks a termination as a result, she faces a longer prison sentence than her attacker. where a mother of a much wanted child given a heartbreaking diagnosis of fatal foetal abnormality is forced to travel overseas for treatment. where uk citizens are currently

on trial, a mother of a 15—year—old girl is on trial for buying her abortion pills. a situation that is a direct consequence and of the legislation passed here in this house, and that is why this house must act. the debate takes place on tuesday. you're watching monday in parliament with me, kristiina cooper. during media interviews at the weekend, the home secretary sajid javid promised to review key parts of the uk's immigration policy. mrjavid, who was appointed to the role in april, said there was a "perception problem" over including students in net migration figures. and he said he would "think more carefully" about the cap on the number of skilled workers from outside the eu given visas. as the prime minister theresa may

has defended these two policies, mps were keen to hear more from the home secretary about his position. the home office is turning away doctors the nhs needs because they are unable to breach of the cab. ministers have debriefings in the press in the past few days. does the secretary of state appreciate that what the nhs needs is for him to come forward as a matter of urgency and say it is prepared to review the workings of the cap to allow us to recruit those doctors? mr speaker, first, it is right that we control immigration and try to bring it down to sustainable levels in the long—term, but it is also correct that we let in the of skills me, whether for the health services, or business, so it is an important issue. as we heard earlier, i'm looking at the issue very carefully. the home secretary said yesterday that he is hoping to look again at the inclusion of international students at net migration targets. he will know that there are strong , they're a strong support on both sides of the house for that move.

will he meet with me and other groups prior to the publication of migration advisory committee review, which was mentioned by his predecessor? is worth reminding the house that there is no cap on the number of students back in comment. i know the honourable gentleman knows that, but what , more widely it is not well—known. i think this issue is important, and that is why i am to looking at it in due course. staying with home office matters, the police federation says many rank and file officers are reluctant to become firearms specialists because they are worried about a long investigation after a fatal shooting. it was an issue raised in the house of lords by a former metropolitan police chief, bernard hogan—howe. there are 120,000 police officers only 6,5000 of which are armed. they do with 15,700 firearms operations a year.

and yet discharge their weapons on only ten occasions. yet when the do discharge their weapons they can expect a lengthy and prolonged inquiry. on the worst occasion over ten years. and it seems to me that is something and that it was agreed and that this review which this question relates to do with the premise or mr david cameron. and here we are to have years later and that review is yet to conclude. this seems to make the government and the lot... government and the law needs to change the needs of the firearms officer to accommodate the needss of that these carry forward in the future. at least that this review should conclude. i thank the noble lord

for his question. i think his first question to me and can i thank him for the time he took to speak to me this morning and alsojoin with him in paying tribute to all those who serve in our police services. it is a very difficult circumstance indeed. the first point he made which was about the previous prime minister commissioning the review, officials have been working at the procedural framework in consultation with stakeholders including at the noble lord. and the second point that he made which is around police... armed police officers failing they are treated as suspects. i think it is quite clear and i'm sure he would agree that facts should be established and no predetermination made during the process. the police and the iop see half the protocol for post incident procedures following a terrorist attack to improve clarity and address concerns about safety and fairness. the iopc. the work and pensions secretary

esther mcvey has been challenged over the handling of a new disability benefit — the personal independence payment, or pip. two pip claimants took the government to court, claiming that they were being underpaid. the court ruled in their favour. and last week, ms mcvey abandoned an appeal against the decision. in a rowdy session, some mps said the pip assessment process was "not fit for purpose". with a record of 69% of decisions being overturned, it is good the assessment process is not fit for purpose. the recent work and pensions select committee report in the pip process says that they cause unnecessary stress and are symbols of the thousands of people who were denied. wasting public money for it sending so many decisions back to the course. when will she get her grip of that

and immediately start reassessment of disabled people with progressive conditions? thank you mr speaker. obviously today's western was specifically on the cases a and] and. which we have given a decision on which i have given a decision on and for clarity purposes was not to continue with the court case. and the other issues that the arable lady was talking about is a separate ant , honourable lady is talking about is separate and we'll move on to things not up for discussion today. there is a further case happening at the moment. it would be ongoing legal case of which it would be incorrect and i am sure the speaker would agree be incorrect for me to talk about an ongoing case at the moment. therefore, i cannot stop thereof for the second time this year, the cemetery state of working guidance has had the knowledge that her departments made serious error with regard to payments. the damage resulted in 220,000 people being underpaid in pip causing misery that could have and should have been avoided. the secretary of state now admits his second error this time related to acts 23 the daily living components.

the department got the problem , got it wrong again. then i can in the critical support they need stop with this lies in tatters. the city of status celebrating the fact that they are not... that's rejected the court in the first place to be proven they are wrong. this department is not fit in undertaking the latest stickup to social security. it's incompetence and it is hurting the most form of the stuff you must do something about its. i would reiterate again under pip we are supporting more people than before and giving the higher rate than they have ever got before. so if you are questioning that monday isn't being handed that the people who need it now, just think how less people would get that support under the dla, under the previous system tony... she has had to answer how many people can expect it pip

to be the store. she said it is the two people involved. would she undertake and come back with a statement to the house when she has had a chance to research that and tell us which of our constituents can expect to have their pip reinstated and how many is involved? mr speaker, if i did not say clearly enough at the start, this was an urgent question granted specifically on two cases. there is another case going through the court at the moment. it would be due to say that i would not be allowed to speak

about at the despatch box. so as we are talking about these two specific cases, that is what i am talking about. i appreciate there is a lot of noise from the opposite benches, but obviously they don't understand what sub judice means. the speaker said that as the government was involved, the case wasn't strictly sub judice. but esther mcvey said her legal advice was that she shouldn't talk about an ongoing legal case. mps have backed a petition — signed by more than 100,000 people — calling for a complete ban on all fur sales in the uk. fur farming was banned in england and wales in 2000, followed by scotland in 2002. but fur can still be legally imported from other countries — which mps said left the uk "complicit" in cruelty. back in 2000, this department bannerforfirming in england and wales. scotland and northern ireland did so in 2002. the petitions written on, we are now

outsourcing the issue. we don't want for farming on our own doorstep. apparently we are not strong enough to end up... in what can only be described as animal suffering. too and reflect the national world, we need to do more than just have a domestic for firming ban. many animals as says go insane under these conditions. and the anguish and frustration of life in a cage leads many animals to self mutilate.

biting at their skin, tail and feet. they frantically paced and circle endlessly and even cannibalize their cage mates. so, mr chairman, even though we should celebrate our world leading ban on forfirming here in the country, it would seem as the honourable gentleman suggested that we have only outsourced this form of animal cruelty. at the end of the day i think we should be proud of our well—known love of animals and our care for animals. and we should never care, forget about that. and if we are working to a total ban, then we will set a light, an example to the rest of the world. and undo this horrific practise stopping at the secretary of state has showed rare leadership, real leadership. i hope he and the ministers see that the need to tackle this issue of animal cruelty. in my opinion by not banning it we are inadvertently condoning it by allowing it to be done in other countries. let's stop outsourcing this cruelty and introduce a ban on all for imports as soon as possible.

it is something the public want us to do. there was one dissenting voice. i fear a blanket ban would not work. there are are no viable humane standards forfurfactory farm production. they do not exist. the farm animal welfare people were correct when they said it was impossible humanely to produce fur in the way in which fur farms that used to exist in england and wales were doing it and in the way in which it is now done across some of the rest of the world. it is impossible stop with this trade is simply not needed. a ban of sales or fur coats is very important to keep it feasible to vile products out of the united kingdom.

we have an opportunity here to begin to wash the blood from our hands. people do not believe that having banded in this country, we should be getting further into the back door. particularly as this looks like we have just outsourced our cruelty. that cannot be right. it cannot be fair. it is not moral. the government has supported higher animal welfare standards worldwide as the best way of facing a cruel and inhumane farming and practises banned here. once the uk retakes its own independent seat on international bodies such as sites and the oie, there is an opportunity to promote the british view on animal welfare. but while the uk was in the european union a total ban was unlikely. i suspect that is why the last labour government introduced the ban and stop short. while the uk was in the european union a total ban was unlikely.

and finally, we end with the latest twists and turns in downing street. the commonwealth gymnast and gold medal winner dominick cunningham performed a handstand and standing backflip on the steps of number ten. he was accompanied by the sports minister tracey crouch. he then went into number ten for a private reception, hosted by the prime minister, for commonwealth athletes. well, that's it for monday in parliament and time for me to disappear too. mandy baker will be here for the rest of the week but from me, kristiina cooper, goodbye. good morning.

the best of the sunshine on monday was out to the west, particular south—west wales. for most of us it was a pretty grey, cloudy start to our new working week, wasn't it? in fact, this weather watcher's picture sums it up quite nicely, the cloud thick enough for the odd spot or two of drizzle. we start like that for many today, but fingers crossed conditions will improve later on. now, it's a very quiet weather story right throughout the week across the uk, with high—pressure sitting up into the north, and this north—easterly flow. now, that's responsible for driving in this cloud through the night, and it makes for a pretty grey, murky start. but, as we go through the day, it does look as though the cloud will start to thin and break and push its way down into south wales and south—west england. here, it could stay little disappointing, but with more sunshine coming through, temperatures will peak perhaps at around 20 degrees. not as warm as it has been, but nevertheless pleasant in the sun. now, as we move through tuesday night into wednesday morning, we see more cloud spilling in off the north sea coast. elsewhere, we'll have some clearer skies and a slightly cooler night. a little more comfortable for those trying to sleep in,

with single figures pretty much for most of us. so we start off on wednesday, then, on a slightly fresher note. still some grey, low cloud spilling in off north sea coasts, but on wednesday we have a greater chance of seeing more sunshine coming through. so after that cooler start, temperatures will respond, with more sun and highs likely at 23 degrees in the south—east, and maybe in sheltered eastern areas of scotland, temperatures will be in the low 20s as well. but, as we move into wednesday night through thursday morning, there's the risk of the potential for some thundery downpours pushing up through the channel, so we'll need to keep a close eye on that. they'll still be lingering, potentially, first thing on thursday morning. the further north you go, we'll have some decent spells of sunshine, and just a little bit of cloud just spilling in off the north sea. if that happens, temperatures 16 to 18 degrees, the highest values likely of 22 degrees, that's 72 fahrenheit. the high pressure still stays with us, the isobars widely spaced, which means light winds and not much change in the weather pattern as we move towards the end

of the working week. so, again, we start off with cloudy conditions first thing in the morning. the cloud should break up, we'll see some sunshine coming through, but always the risk, potentially down to the south, of a few sharp, possibly thundery showers developing. highs likely of 15—22 degrees, and not much change as we move into the weekend. it stays predominantly dry, with some sunshine, always the chance of seeing one or two showers perhaps into the south—east corner. that's it, take care. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: paul manafort, the former campaign manager for donald trump, is accused of trying to tamper with potential witnesses. at least 65 are killed, dozens missing, millions affected, as a volcano erupts in guatemala. the flows are so rapid people are buried before they can run. jordan's prime minister resigns amid protests against high food and fuel prices and plans to raise taxes. the former north korean spies hoping next week's singapore summit
