of prescribing "dangerous doses" of powerful painkilling drugs when there was no medicaljustification. the report into suspicious deaths at the gosport war memorial hospital between 1989 and 2000 says the practice resulted in more than a50 patients‘ lives being shortened. the independent panel says families who raised concerns were consistently let down by those in authority. campaigners are calling for criminal prosecutions. robert wilson, sheila gregory, geoffrey pack. son went into gosport war memorial hospital to recover after falls, others had bedsores or broken bones. none came out alive. some families have been fighting for the truth for 20 years. today they came to hear the latest report. they were hoping for seven

critical, and they got it. it says, between 1989 and 2000 there was an "institutionalised practice of shortening lives. " "institutionalised practice of shortening lives. a56 patients died because they were given strong painkillers with no medical justification. the real number could be much higher. missing records mean that another 200 could have been affected. the relatives have shown remarkable tenacity and fortitude in questioning what happened to their loved ones. the documents explained and published today, showed that they were right to ask those questions. families say family say it has taken far too long to get this far. our vulnerable relatives who were stripped of their final words to their loved ones, silenced by overdoses is more than catastrophic. this sort of behaviour going on in our nhs is both chilling

and precarious. the health secretary agreed that justice had and precarious. the health secretary agreed thatjustice had been denied for too long. nothing i say today can lessen the anguish and pain, the families that have campaigned for 20 years forjustice after the loss of a loved ones. but i can, at least, on behalf of the government and the nhs and apologise for what happened, and what they have been through. julian mckenzie was the first relative to go to the police in 1998 after her mother died at gosport. relative to go to the police in 1998 after her mother died at gosportlj contacted the police and said that i wa nted contacted the police and said that i wanted an appointment with somebody within allegation of unlawful killing. i was told, there, there, they you are upset. no one was arrested and charged, but more families came forward. later, they we re families came forward. later, they were looking into 92 cases. no

proceedings were brought. the drug at the heart of this is diamorphine. it should only be used to relieve severe pain, for example, after a car crash, or severe pain, for example, after a carcrash, or in severe pain, for example, after a car crash, or in end of life care. this long list of names shows the human costs. many were given diamorphine. 59% of those were dead within two days. the report also says former gp jane barton within two days. the report also says former gpjane barton was largely responsible for prescribing these drugs. she worked at the hospital, she was found guilty of serious, professional misconduct, although she was not banned from practising. she chose to retire soon after. the anas aremayaw anas we need to make sure that all of those people who in —— need to make sure that all of those people who in -- we need to make sure that all of those people who blocked the families get into the truth, have to be held to the account, as well. the independent panel does not have the power to

recommend specific and mineral action, but it calls on the government and other authorities to recognise how significant this is and act accordingly. we will have more on that later on in the hour. we will be speaking to the eastbourne mp. 0ne in the hour. we will be speaking to the eastbourne mp. one of his constituents was the first to go... the government has won a key vote on the brexit bill, after an amendment calling for mps to be given more of a say on what should happen if there's "no deal" was rejected. in the end, the vote was close, with the government securing a majority 319 votes to 303 — just 16 votes separating the two sides. as many as are of the opinion, say "aye". to the contrary, "no".

the debate turned a corner in the afternoon when a key brexit rebel in the conservatives, former attorney general dominic grieve, said he would back down and choose to support the government — after receiving further reassurance from ministers. let's go straight to our chief political correspondent vicki young who has more. this bill is about making sure that there is a statute book. it has gradually become about more than that. some mps push to say that they should be in charge of the process if we get to a scenario where there is no deal. now, there is no doubt that the government was concerned about winning this boat. we saw mps, some of them quite sick, being

brought in from hospital, a heavily pregnant mp, forced really, to come here to register their vote. in the end, the government won the day, but yet again, we saw some toing and froing between the sides, we had some conservative rebels saying that actually, they were satisfied with what the government was offering them, that in the end, the government was saying that the time would be given to parliament to put down motions, and to debate what was going on, and that was enough for them. it was certainly enough dominic grieve. my view is that if that is the issue, then having finally obtained, i have to say, with a little bit more difficulty than i would have wished, the obvious acknowledgement of the sovereignty of this place, and it's over the executive in black and white language, i am prepared to accept the government's difficulty and support it. i am prepared to accept the government's difficulty, and in the circumstances to accept the form of the amendment that it wants.

thereon differences of opinion as to how much the government has really given away, how much of a concession the rebels have one. i am joined by hilary benn, and the conservative backbencher, jacob rees—mogg. do you feel let down by conservatives who decided to back the government? should they have done more to push for a meaningful vote, or do should they have done more to push fora meaningfulvote, or do think that parliament has now got that assures? i am sorry that dominic himself had moved, and wasn't carried by that. the government's position, i really don't understand. david davis came before the select committee, and when i asked when the agreements were put before parliament, will be motion, became another amendment? meaning that you don'tjust another amendment? meaning that you don't just have another amendment? meaning that you don'tjust have to say yes or no. you can say, we decline to accept it, because it does not include the

following things that we would like. if we faced the prospect of there being no deal at all, they have put into legislation, just now, a clause that says it will be a motion in mutual terms. why would you do that, u nless mutual terms. why would you do that, unless you were trying to prevent parliament, saying that actually, we would like to pursue a different course of action? i said in the house, i think it is an attempt to neuter parliament, and ourjob is not... it is to take control and ta ke not... it is to take control and take the final decision on what happens in those circumstances, recognising that we are leaving the european union. jacob rees-mogg, you think that parliament should have proper powers, and you're taking them away from them? parliament has power. there is no government if it does not have the confidence of the house of commons, and that is the crucial point to remember. what is different, is legislation that hangs upon an act, which changes it from

being an ordinary parliamentary motion, to being potentiallyjust show, and that was the cause of the argument, but whether you would get the detailed parliamentary procedure is coming before the court. parliament has absolute authority to decide who the government is and always does. they can have a vote of no confidence if the leader of the opposition asked for a vote of confidence in the government, it would be extraordinary if it were not granted within a few days. the government won its votes, very important, it got its bill through intact. to make it absolutely clear that brexit, in spite of some people behind me, will go ahead, and will behind me, will go ahead, and will bea behind me, will go ahead, and will be a wonderful success, but that it will go ahead, and it is not the only parliamentary procedure that will be able to stop it. so, do you

agree with that? a desperate chief whip, as when the argument is made, this could end up in the court. there is a clear set oration, and i don't think that whatsoever. secondly, unfortunately, the government says, 0k, secondly, unfortunately, the government says, ok, you can have a vote, but we have seen in this parliament, motions put down, debated, carried, and the government says, yeah, whatever. and pays no attention whatsoever. so that confidence, the confidence that the government will pay attention... the often isjeremy corbyn to say, we will bring forward a no—confidence vote. indeed it is, and then that is for parliament to decide. if that is not accessible, we are still left with the circumstances we are debating today, potentially leaving the european union with no deal, it all. that would be very damaging for the economy. we are not ready, we are not prepared. the impact on every area of national life would be enormous, and that is why i disagree with jacob on this. there are some who think it is ok if we leave with

no deal. all the evidence that we have taken the select committee very clearly indicate that we would not be all right, and if the government is not pursuing the right policies, thenit is not pursuing the right policies, then it seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable thing that the government would have to listen to parliament when it says should do something else. jacob rees-mogg, you presumably did not want that option of no deal taken off the table? that is obviously true. going into a negotiation, it would be silly to say that any deal you would give us underany say that any deal you would give us under any circumstances, you have to say that there are some circumstances where you will not choose the deal that is offered. the no deal often needs to remain on the table, and needs to be part of the government's strategy, to get the best deal, otherwise the government would be accepting whatever mr barnier offered. on the just those birds are the cashjust barnier offered. on the just those birds are the cash just the viability point, there are... they

make specific provision for motions in the house to have legal effect. most in the commons have political asset, but that political effect can be very profound, irrespective of the motion, so that the norway debate which was about over how long been commons would go on holiday for in may, led to the fall of neville chamberlain and with that churchill becoming prime minister. it was about their holidays, and yet it brought the change of government are perhaps the greatest importance of the 20th century. just very briefly, in terms of the negotiations, how confident are you that a deal will be struck in time? look, i hope the deal is done, but two years on, we have got a cabinet that is still openly arguing about what kind of customs amendment it once ——

arrangement its once. the british public think it is going very badly. this is a lack of leadership. what we are seeing is management, we need leadership in the national interest, and that is what is missing. today is very important. we have got the bill through that means that legally we leave on the 29th. that is meaning that the prime minister's position will be much stronger. exact rehab the european union works, and brexit i am glad to say won't be stopped, however much a few loudmouthed people want to stop it. sto p loudmouthed people want to stop it. stop brexit! not the end of the road for this bill -- not the stop brexit! not the end of the road for this bill —— not the end of the bridge of his bill, but there will be more ahead. this is bbc news at 5.00pm. the headlines: hundreds of deaths at a hospital

in hampshire because of the over—use of strong painkillers. in the commons, the government wins a key vote on the brexit bill defeating calls for mps to be given "a meaningful vote" on the final deal. president trump says he will sign an executive order to keep families together at the border with mexico. and in sport, cristiano ronaldo continues his excellent start to the world cup. his goal sends morocco packing. but anything he can do, so can louis suarez. they are currently in the second half. england, though, have a problem. dele alli has eight minus icebreaking ahead of their match with panama on sunday, and dan

evansis match with panama on sunday, and dan evans is refused a wimbledon wild ca rd evans is refused a wimbledon wild card following a year—long ban after taking cocaine. i will be back with more on that it after half—past. in the last few minutes president trump has hinted he may be changing his controversial immigration policy in which children have been separated from their parents when trying to cross into the us over the mexican border. 0ur correspondent gary 0'donoghue is in brownesville in texas close to the us mexico border. we were talking yesterday about the scale of the problem, gary, and we now take it that the scale has now actually urged the president to have change policy? well, he says he is going to sign an executive order to stop going to sign an executive order to sto p pa re nts going to sign an executive order to stop parents and children being

separated very shortly, and vice president says they still expect congress to pass a much wider immigration legislation, possibly as early as tomorrow. but let's be clear about this, the president has a lwa ys clear about this, the president has always said that his hands are tied on this, that he can't change that policy, that it is about court judgments, it is about what congress has done previously. so this would rank present a 180 degrees u—turn on his part if he signed an order that does allow pa rents his part if he signed an order that does allow parents and children to stay together. we will see exactly what the text is. there are a couple of possible explanations for his decision. there have been widespread domestic and international pressure on the president. the president, theresa may, weighing in today, as has the pope, and a whole range of people, including some senior republicans, and all living first ladies, including the president's

own wife, who has weighed in on this one. it is also possible that this u—turn has come about as a result of the frustration with the months and months of failure of congress to pass on immigration. that is sense that perhaps they have brought about some kind of crisis moment in order to force congress to act. just briefly, if this executive order is signed, when will you see the practical impact of it grigg? practical impact of it that signed, when will you see the practical impact of it that is the problem. you can't wish these detention centres overnight. there isa detention centres overnight. there is a huge issue with capacity down here in texas and throughout the other part of the country where these children are kept. 11,000 children nationwide kept in these kinds of centres. they are looking at using some disused military bases here in texas. you have got to get them in shape, you have got to mix they have got running water and

electricity and that they are secure and have the facilities that will be meeting the standards that are required. it is difficult to know, and of course, the other practical problem that we are hearing from some of the lawyers that we are dealing with —— who are dealing with people down here, is that the bureaucracy up till now has not been up bureaucracy up till now has not been up to keep in touch between the pa rents up to keep in touch between the parents and children. whether or not they will be able to read... gary 0'donoghue, there. very sorry that it went down. we got the gist of what he was saying, there, and giving his response to what has been going on. i think the president is actually speaking at the moment. we are just not going to do it. i would beg to say that because we are also busy, ijust beg to say that because we are also busy, i just mentioned beg to say that because we are also busy, ijust mentioned to the senators, that we are going to cancel and postpone tomorrow's congressional picnic. we have a congressional picnic tomorrow, and i wasjust walking over to congressional picnic tomorrow, and i was just walking over to the oval office, and i said, you know, it

doesn't feel right to have a picnic, for congress, when we are working on doing something very important. we have got many things that are important. talking about trade, many things, but it did not feel right to me, so, we will be officially postponing the congressional picnic for tomorrow, will make it another time when things are going extremely well, and they are going for the country extremely well. we have record—setting numbers in every way economic, but we want to solve this immigration problem which is going on for 40 years. it's been going on for other —— forever. we are cancelling this congressional picnic tomorrow. any questions from the rome? anybody? tomorrow. any questions from the rome ? anybody? anybody? tomorrow. any questions from the rome? anybody? anybody? the issue of immigration, trade and investment, these are all areas where congress has a lot of authority, and you have

authority, the executive branch has authority, the executive branch has authority, of the constitution, and thatis authority, of the constitution, and that is why meetings like this are really important, the leadership of both sides together. this is the president making a few remarks in washington, just a few moments ago. the essential message here is that the president has signalled that he will sign an executive order which we believe will end the policy of separating parents from children, who are deemed to be entering the us immediately, from mexico, and indeed from other areas, to coming up through mexico. we will see the detail what we get it, but that is the hand that has been given to president trump earlier today. let's stay with some criticism of the trump administration. there's also been widespread criticism of the united states' decision to withdraw from the un human rights council.

this was announced yesterday. the white house says the council is a "cesspool of political bias". the foreign secretary boris johnson has described america's decision as "regrettable". for too long the human rights council has been a protector of human rights abuses, and a cesspool of political bias. regrettably, it is now clear that our call for reform was not heeded. therefore as we said we would do a year ago, if we did not see any progress, the united states is officially withdrawing from the un human rights council. the rather forthright statement from nikki haley. with me is sir mark lyall grant, former british representative to the un between 2009 and 2015. when you heard that contribution, what were your thoughts? well, i was disappointed that the united states

has taken this step, but not surprised. the united states never really david the establishment of the un human rights council in 2006, and under president brush, in fact, didn't engage with it for the first three years of its existence. the position changed with eric balmer, and they have put themselves... —— with barack and they have put themselves... —— with ba rack 0bama. and they have put themselves... —— with barack 0bama. it is not a surprising step. we have heard from this administration that they are uncomfortable with multinationals. —— multilateralist. they have pulled out of the paris climate agreement, the iran nuclear deal. these are all good that they feel uncomfortable withmultilateralism. it is not surprising. are there specific... in

terms of their democratic principles, are some of this criticism is valid? 0r principles, are some of this criticism is valid? or not? yes, they are. the two main criticisms made: savage the council itself is dismissing a7 members, some of them are themselves human rights abuses, and at the moment you have got the democratic republic of congo, venezuela, countries that are not famous for their human rights at harrods. secondly, they have been very concerned that there is an over focus on the human right in israel. both of those criticisms are justified, but the step taken to pull out is not the right response to that, because you are giving a signal that actually, you are downplaying the importance of human rights, and sending a wider message that actually you don't support the rules based international order. i think it would be much better to stay in the organisation and fight

for reform with the european ones alongside fighting for reform of the council, but to stop out of it, i think is the wrong move. so, is it more of a statement to the outside world, in which case, your comments there would actually be ones that made total sense, or is it a message thatis made total sense, or is it a message that is really being delivered to a political constituency?” that is really being delivered to a political constituency? i think it isa political constituency? i think it is a bit of both. i think president trump and predicted john bolton, made clear that they did like the multilateral system. the un is the symbol of the multilateral system, and this is yet another step that shows that they are delivering on the dislike of that multilateral system. all about america first, we prefer bilateral deals, the recent summit with north korea, and that'll do things. that is damaging, and worrying for the united kingdom, because we are heavily invested in the rules based international order,

and the traditional champion of that has been the president of the united states. if the president himself does not believe in it, that is a problem for the continued success of that rules —based international order. just a final point on the council, itself. is it a credibility that this has happened, or are people just factoring them that we are dealing with a very, very different kind of us administration, and the blow to authority does not read as it would have with previous presidents? i think the latter is the case. it will weaken it, and the bosses for reform will be weaker. but i don't think it will have a huge effect. in that sense, the numbers game does not change, but the weight of the united states voice will be lost, and that is damaging, prospects on reform, self—fulfilling step that they have taken on that. i don't think that it

has come as a surprise to the international community, and i think there is a lot of signalling in domestic politics about this position. thank you very much indeed. a woman who claims she was gagged, bound and tied to a chair while she worked for marine scotland has spoken to the bbc about her experience. deeann fitzpatrick claims she was subjected to the attack after she complained about threatening and misogynist behaviour. an image of the incident was obtained by bbc scotland and widely circulated. ms fitzpatrick has taken her case to an employment tribunal. two fellow officers that i worked with discovered that i was the whistle—blower, and while we were at work after a shift, i was in the fisheries assistant room and i was doing some work and two of them came in. and one of them had a roll of tape in his hands and he was flicking it about in his hands, and the other gentleman came

to my left side, slightly back, and that's when he kind of bear—hugged me when i was in the chair. and the other gentleman then, because i was kicking, and i did curse and tell them to leave me alone, they taped my legs. and because i was making noise, one of them told the other guy, give me some tape, i shuts her up. he took the tape and he placed it over my mouth. and then he said, that's what you get for speaking out about the boys. i felt degraded, i was frightened. first i was frightened and then i felt degraded. i felt there was very little respect for me. i felt, now they know it's me, this is just continuing on from what's been happening to me, but now it's just going to get worse. that was deeann fitzpatrick speaking to bbc scotland about the allegations of misconduct at marine scotland. the test whether with darren.

we had temperatures into the mid—20s today into lincolnshire and the south—east of england but tomorrow will be cooler and fresher for these areas. we already have collected the north, accompanied by a lot show was in scotland. just brushing northern ireland, heading into the north—east of england. their worst offal shall be as well exit into the north sea. dry skies of following but earning much clearer. a significant change in the south and perhaps more co mforta ble in the south and perhaps more comfortable for sleeping. the weather front is weak and has brought little rain and is fading away. cooler is coming on top of that, i had the west. it will be quite windy for a while with the gusty winds in the north—east of scotland, accompanied by a fuchsia

was in the morning. 0therwise scotland, accompanied by a fuchsia was in the morning. otherwise a dry day with cloud here and there. temperatures will be lower in the south—east, 16 in norwich, cooler than today. 16—18 typically on thursday. this is bbc news. the headlines: a major inquiry finds hundreds of elderly patients at a hospital in hampshire died because of an institutionalised regime of prescribing dangerous doses of powerful painkilling drugs when there was no medicaljustification. in the commons, the government wins a key vote on the brexit withdrawal bill, defeating calls for mps to be given a meaningful vote on the final deal. in the past few minutes president trump has signalled he is likely to change the immigration policy which has seen children separated from their parents at the mexican border. we have compassion, we want to keep families together, its very important. i will be signing

something that is going to do that any while. there's been widespread criticism of the united states' decision to withdraw from the un human rights council. washington says the council is a cesspool of political bias. let's catch up with all the day's sports news now. good afternoon. let's get the latest for the world cup in russia — more goals, more interesting story lines, and more 0lly foster. the man with the best camera position in russia can give us the latest. day seven at the world cup is an important day because we can get the first booking their place at the knockout stage. we also find out the first teams eliminated with one game to spare. morocco are out and cannot

reach the knockout stage. it is after the last to portugal. cristiano ronaldo got the winner, one — zero. 85 goals in all, a new european record. wishful thinking? well, morocco's fa ns wishful thinking? well, morocco's fans had to try something. but polite as their message was, cristiano ronaldo can be ruthless on the football pitch. bailey four minutes after kick—off, he lived up to his reputation. 0ne minutes after kick—off, he lived up to his reputation. one the moroccan defence assembly seemed to this regard. the fourth time we've seen the celebration in russia and maybe not the last. morocco would end their participation at the world cup as they set about getting back on to level terms. perhaps they should have had a penalty, their managers in to think so. not the last time we will see this sign either. but the

north africans kept plugging away, closer with every chance while ronaldo, well, he wasn't. would this come back to haunt portugal? their opponents had plenty of opportunities to make them pay but simply couldn't take any of them, meaning this man could celebrate rate yet again. the last 16 now in touching distance for him while home is calling for morocco. there is a match under way right now in rostov, between uruguay and saudi arabia. there has been a cold for uruguay, suarez with it. the saudi keeper flapped at it and suarezjust tapped home midway through the first half. let's take you live to rostov right now. you can see that there is about 15 minutes left to play. it is still 1— 02 uruguay. if it stays

like that, uruguay and russia are definitely through to the last 16 and will face each other in a few days to see the tops that group. saudi arabia and egypt are definitely out. they would face each other for the wooden spoon. this match is on bbc one right now. we have a match coming up later, spin against iran. it is in caslon. spain just that one point after that opening draw against portuguese. if iran when, it is unlikely, but they would go through. that match coming up would go through. that match coming upa bit would go through. that match coming up a bit later on another action packed day he was the world cup. so that group peel—mac ok, that's group b, 0lly, but there's a certain team in group g we're particularly interested in. what's the latest from the england camp ahead of panama on sunday? dele alli has a minor site industry

that that they will monitor. they play panama on sunday. they had a day off, no training at all, a bit of art day off, no training at all, a bit ofartand day off, no training at all, a bit of art and art. unicorn racing, it in the last hour. this will put the fear of god into the panamanians! a bit of fun in the poll. i'm not sure who won, kieran trippier at the far end has the inside lane. all is well at the england camp, just a slight worry over delhi ali's five. but they prepare now for the panamanians and then for the belgians. maybe then they will already be through to then they will already be through to the last 16. a quick update from rostov, uruguay still beating the saudis 1—0 and heading to the knockout stage. hoping to see you on uruguay before thejuly 15! hoping to see you on uruguay before the july 15! —— hoping to see you on uruguay before thejuly15! —— on a unicorn! that's all the sport for now.

you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. more now on our main story this afternoon. the government has apologised after a report into deaths at gosport war memorial hospital in hampshire found that a56 patients died because opioids were administered without medicaljustification. the inquiry found that there was an institutionalised practice at the hospital of shortening lives between 1989 and 2000, we can have a look at how events unfolded in more detail. a general medical council hearing on the conduct of drjane barton,

the only person to face disciplinary action, found that she was guilty of serious professional misconduct. despite the council's findings, the crown prosecution service said there was insufficient evidence for a prosecution on gross negligence manslaughter charges. dr barton subsequently retired. then, in 201a, the government announced an independent investigation into deaths at hospitals. stephen lloyd is the liberal democrat mp for a spine and his constituent was the first to go to hampshire police back in 1998 with concerns over the death of her mother at the hospital. thanks for coming in and for waiting to talk to us. first of all, when we look at this and we see the shocking statistics, what kind of context would you offer viewers from what is going on? that's really difficult. i

ama going on? that's really difficult. i am a good example of that because when my constituent came to my ten yea rs when my constituent came to my ten years ago and told me this story, i found it hard to believe. i then asked her to give me the paperwork andi asked her to give me the paperwork and i spent a weekend reading through pages of paperwork. at the end of that, i came to the conclusion that a complete nightmare may have happened in the hospital, soi may have happened in the hospital, so i was determined to fight her corner. the thing that i want to be really clear about is a56 people we re really clear about is a56 people were killed. that is a word that people aren't using but it is true. gillian and the other relatives have been saying that for years and i find it very hard to believe but i felt that they deserve to this report so the trust would be odd. the truth is at least a56 people we re the truth is at least a56 people were killed inappropriately, and thatis were killed inappropriately, and that is just absolutely shocking. thatin that is just absolutely shocking. that in itself is a deeply shocking

statement. lots of people have said today, and i would like your view, that the report, albeit, brands of within limits, does not go anywhere new offering a full expedition for what went on. i think you're probably right. so many institutions from gosport memorial, to the police, to the gmc, it would probably take 100 years to actually drill down to the detail. but what the relatives got today is what they have been urging for many years and i have been supporting them for over a decade. today they have got the level of truth and the reality that they have been talking about and being brushed aside for so many yea rs. being brushed aside for so many years. what i said in the house today to the secretary of state hunt is that the next thing i believe the relatives deserve this justice. i believe it is absolutely essential that a police force is appointed by

the government, not hampshire police force for these reasons, but a police force is appointed by the government to investigate those key individuals as to what went on. for the other areas, a clear institutional bias, stupidity, and it and mcgregor is, call it what you will, i almost don't know where to start, other than there was one point but i think hadn't made that i think was true, since the advent of the cqc, certainly within the nhs, i think it is that much harder for a rogue doctor, and let us be as bad as what we had, to actually to have total control so in a properly over her ward. but it was a shopping day because of the report, but a strong day because finally those relatives who have been saying this for years and years and years, you know what? they were proved right, as they would have been 20 years ago when

mrs mckenzie first went to the police and senior managers of the trust and they were just for the decider was probably a woman who has no idea what she is talking about. she was right then and lives would have been saved as she was listened to. what does it tell us about the culture that pretend that this was able to go on for so long despite some of these very crude challenges? that's a really important question andi that's a really important question and i am pausing because i am almost speechless. can it happen again? i don't know. i have no idea. when you have a huge bureaucracy, when you have a huge bureaucracy, when you have a huge bureaucracy, when you have a situation you don't want to believe, because i have to emphasise, hand on heart, when mrs mckenzie came to me ten years ago and told me all these stories and possible rationales, i struggled to believe it. i thought, possible rationales, i struggled to believe it. ithought, it possible rationales, i struggled to believe it. i thought, it could be possible. i picked up the battle on andi possible. i picked up the battle on and i ran with it because i did eventually believe that, but then

ten yea rs eventually believe that, but then ten years later it is so much worse than even i anticipated. i don't know where to start, other than i think it is absolutely crucial that a criminal proceedings are started and key individuals, because if they do get away with what, let me be clear, a56 people were killed before they were supposed to die. they went in there, elderly but not terminally ill, they were killed, and i am using that language deliberately because i cannot be done with any more obfuscation and i think the relatives deserve that and i will do everything i can to ensure they get that final justice that everything i can to ensure they get that finaljustice that in my opinion they deserve. good reviews you to come in, thank you very much. the mp for eastbourne talking about the shocking report that came out today about events in hampshire and gosport hospital. more now on the news that the government has won a key vote on the brexit bill, after an amendment calling for mps

to be given more of a say on what should happen if there's no deal was rejected. the international trade secretary, liam fox, says the defeat of today's amendment ensures there is no fundamental change to the government's role in brexit negotiations. i hope they will accept the will of the democratically elected house. we won by some 60 votes this afternoon, which was a more comfortable majority than some expected. there was a great point of principle here, that the government has to be able to free to negotiate. we have to be able to hold out in negotiations the prospect of no deal, otherwise the advantage would have been with the eu side in the negotiations. i think we have made the will of the has cleared now. we can't pre—empt what the house of lords will do next but they will have had this signal loud and clear. it does appear that for the second week in a row, theresa

may has tried to hold out until the la st may has tried to hold out until the last minute and then had no choice but to budge. i think it's clear there were some procedural changes today, but there was no change in the fundamental issue here, which is the fundamental issue here, which is the government cannot be forced by parliament to negotiate something that the government doesn't want to do. that's the key as we move forward. hopefully this takes the whole brexit debate into a new place. the focus is now not on the legislation, which of course was designed to give a smooth transition as we leave the eu, but now on to the future economic partnership itself. that will start liam fox, the international trade secretary. responding to that vote just a short while ago was the conservative mp joining us now. vicky ford. i think it is very positive because

the withdrawal bill is about making sure there is legal certainty for all those businesses and other organisations that have their ways in which they operate governed by eu law. we need to get that law on to the british dutch ‘s book as that is what the withdrawal bill does. —— british statute book. the first d rafts have a british statute book. the first drafts have a lot of areas that felt i needed mending. i remember speaking in the house and this process over the past few months has brought a huge amount of work certainty. today's vault, a number of recommendations were brought into the bill. that happened last week on issues like environmental matters that people care so much about, issues like some of their citizens' rights issues that have been brought up rights issues that have been brought up in the lords and then here. and the wording of a final vote, making sure there is a meaningful vote on the final deal, number of the suggestions which were made by the

lawrence and dominic grieve were brought into the governments position. i think this has made the build stronger. i'm glad to see it as going for it because that will mean the prime minister can go and negotiate, with a much stronger set of hands when she goes over to europe to negotiate over the next few days. if we end up position where there is no final brexit deal available, what will you do? it's important we give the prime minister the mandate to go and negotiate. the mansion house speech, i listened to that very carefully as a former mep who has been entered the devil in the detailfor who has been entered the devil in the detail for many years. she has really set out where she wants to land in many key areas. i think it is really important that europe listens, a lots of those countries in europe have their own political problems if you look at what is happening in germany or spain or italy, so the negotiations will be tough. i'm not expecting no deal at what has happened in the past couple

of days and runs of these amendments as we have put in place a buck stop process so left the process is lost, you can come back to the house and have a period of 1a days to a month depending on how close we are to the brexit deadline to come up with another set of negotiations. as someone who has done a a lot of european negotiations, i think it is quite sensible to have a backstop andi quite sensible to have a backstop and i am glad that is in the text. your opponents are saying you caved in and this means that if there is no brexit deal on the table, you have thrown away europe are to do something about it. no, i do not see this as giving some sort of mandate for a new audio brexit and no deal would not be good for the uk, it is not what the prime minister is suggesting and indeed, when you listen to david davis today, he confirmed again that he does not intend to end up with the new deal. it is not the approved a situation

and it is not what we want. what we agreed today as they will be a meaningful vote twice if necessary in order to make sure we can give the government that negotiating power. even dominic grieve agreed that the statement, both words and statement we were getting, that has been put in the house of commons library is a process he can live with. thank you very much for coming over. it's the tenth anniversary of liverpool's year as the european capital of culture. as newcastle gateshead gears up for their great exhibition of the north, jayne mccubbin has been back to liverpool, to find out what impact their time in the cultural spotlight had on the city. for so long, it was so easy to talk liverpool down. but then came a moment... the uk's nomination to be capital of culture in 2008 is liverpool. cheering.

oh, it definitely felt like a moment. hundreds of thousands of people celebrating and everybody wanted to be a scouser, then. i was right there, in that crowd, as 2008 drew to a close. at one time, we were getting some really bad press but now it's just wonderful. i'm choking up again! you are, aren't you? bless you! an occasionally cynical city had been won over. were there cynics? oh, yeah, iwould have been foremost among cynics. really? because liverpool's like, been trying to save by culture lots and lots of times. frank cottrell boyce went from early—day doubter to firm believer that something brilliant would come of it. what changed everything in 2008 was people. ‘08 has paid off. while public, private and eu money transformed the city,

‘08 was a calling card, telling the world it must drop by. where are you guys from? i'm from erie, pennsylvania, in america. lithuania. poland. poland! visitor numbers boomed. in ten years, the value of tourism has almost trebled to over £a billion. liverpool is now the fifth most popular uk destination for overseas visitors. great cities like liverpool have got to find a way to raise their head up and do brilliant things. and by using culture as the tool for regeneration, which is what we've done, that is how we've done it. you know, we've used this brilliant city and these brilliant stories and these events that we do to really kind of put a rocket under the regeneration of the city. the city continues to dream big. liverpool's giants are back later this year. it is an economic model recognised by the government with the launch of the uk's own city of culture. coventry is waiting in the wings for its moment in 2021. jane mccubbin, bbc news. today is world refugee day,

and to raise money for displaced children in syria, one campaign has come together to bake. #ba keforsyria have released their first cook book today, bringing together recipes from celebrity chefs like jamie oliver, yotam 0ttolenghi and nigel slater, all to raise money for unicef‘s children of syria appeal. thomasina miers is one of the chefs who have contributed recipes to the bake for syria campaign. she won masterchef in 2005 and went on to found mexican restaurant chain wa haca. what i'd like to do is say hello and welcome, and i want to show viewers the book first before i ask you anything about it. that is that, very nice and colour. i want to ask you what this is meant to achieve. where is this a mean? money is

important, but what are you trying to do? this is actually the second cookbook, so the first baking book but we launched cook for syria two yea rs but we launched cook for syria two years ago and it was a phenomenal success. it really highlighted the plight of displaced people. it is obviously world refugee day today. but there's so much bad news that it tends to put people off and it is very easy to just turn away from too much of a load of information, negativity. i think the wonderful thing about this book, it is a of mouthwatering recipes on some of the top names, not just mouthwatering recipes on some of the top names, notjust celebrity chef spotting credible bakers from all over the place. so you can get the book, raise money for unicef assyria fund, but also fill your kitchen with the wonderful smell of baking. most of the recipes are middle eastern nature, so you can really fill your kitchen with evocative sense. do you need any specialised

skills to produce these recipes? i am thinking selfishly feed here. absolutely not. one thing we know from the big offers anyone can make a cake and eat only to spend a on ingredients. perhaps they will ask you to put rose an budget can always put some brands that are she was in a bit off ranelagh. it is a really wonderful thing. it is from upmarket puddings to a teacake for sunday lunch. what is the secret of the success of the first one? what were people wanting to buy into? what's so exciting, to be working now in the world food is wonderful because eve ryo ne the world food is wonderful because everyone wants a piece of it. everyone seems to be excited about cooking. reply rediscovering the i°ys cooking. reply rediscovering the joys of stirring with your wooden spoon. there are so many people working in food that are young. i am an all—day and we love seeing the young people come up. everyone loved

to see these young talented people. i think there is a wonderful inclusiveness in the world of cooking. we all get together, and raising money for a course like this is tremendous fun. it's great to see the power we have. everyone is following someone on social media, so it is easy to get their message out there, which is a positive side of social media. we are certainly getting the message out today. i am wondering about the theme, middle eastern recipes. well that say to people that it is something they can manage or is the kind of focus of that meaning that people will be less keen, they would rather see more traditional things are british things question mark what was the thinking? the theme was raising money for the assyria fund but i think most people have probably seen recipes by yotam 0ttolenghi in the newspapers. there are so many

wonderful middle eastern cookery writers now. even something like a lemon drizzle cake, which won big coffee couple of years ago, they are a threat from the middle east. although that sounds off—putting, many of the kicks we love today, a marmalade cake, oranges, they are very middle eastern and red. that is not off—putting at all and these are definitely accessible recipes that eve ryo ne definitely accessible recipes that everyone can make. i'm looking forward to seeing it. thank you for coming in to tell us about it. you never know, the book may be quite appealing. thank you very much. time for a look at the weather with darren bett. it wasn't exactly baking today but we got temperatures into the mid—20s across the south—east of england. this is the last of the very warm and muggy days for a little while. a slice of sunshine is centred on the

south—east corner of england. further north, cloud that has been bringing showers. in between, a very wea k bringing showers. in between, a very weak weather front that has been producing these bands of cloud. but very little rain. you can see where most of the readers in the form of those showers, north of the central belt in scotland. but it has quite a bit cooler, replacing the one and muqqy bit cooler, replacing the one and muggy conditions in the south—east. to the north we will see a few showers overnight, projectile earlier in the night across scotland. brushing northern ireland and the far north of england and then exiting into the north sea. becoming dry ridge on the night, skies clearing. temperatures will be over, noticeably so in the south. all that one, muggy here is getting squeezed into the new continent and said we will see this cooler, fresh air moving across the whole of the country. master north—westerly winds around this area of high pressure

that will be setting out to the west. some strong winds to the north—east of scotland, gusts of 50 miles per are. if you share rose, particularly in the morning towards the northern isles. particularly as margaret will be otherwise dry. a lovely looking day. quite a different feel to the south—east and east anglia, temperatures lower than today. it will feel fresher further north, temperatures 60—18. on friday, a similar picture, perhaps more cloud in scotland. plenty of sunshine elsewhere in the uk and on friday and the weekend, temperatures will start to rise a little. looking ata high will start to rise a little. looking at a high of around 22 celsius. and it will feel warmer because the winds will be less strong. the area of high pressure will be slipping right over the uk. we may get more cloud for northern scotland on

saturday, but otherwise this weekend will be dry, staying dry, and they will be dry, staying dry, and they will be dry, staying dry, and they will be plenty of warm sunshine. the notes will be on the chilly side but as we head into the longer range forecasts, it'll be getting warmer, still dry and sunny. the headlines at 6.00pm: hundreds of deaths at a hospital in hampshire because of the over—use of strong painkillers. these horrifying, shameful, unforgivable actions need to be disclosed in a criminal court for a jury to decide, and only then can we put our loved ones to rest. in the commons, the government wins a key vote on the brexit bill defeating calls for mps to be given ‘a meaningful vote' on the final deal. president trump has signalled he is likely to change the immigration policy — which has seen children separated from their parents at the mexican border.

we have compassion, i want to keep families together, it is very important. i
