that's the conclusion of an independent panel which said it's possible a further 200 patients may have suffered a similar fate between 1989 and 2000. concerns were first raised by the daughter of one of the patients who died. it took until today to produce a report which found that at the hospital there was a disregard for human life, and a culture of shortening the lives of a large number of patients. it says there was an institutionalised regime of prescribing and administering dangerous doses of drugs, which were not clinicallyjustified. and, when dealing with family members who raised concerns, the bereaved were consistently let down by those in authority. the health secretary has apologised and says criminal charges will now be considered. 0ur health editor, hugh pym, has been speaking to some of the families involved. mourning a mother and a grandmother, ann and bridget looking across to gosport and reflecting on the lost nearly two decades ago. i thought she was in a safe place.

being cared for. how wrong i was. and i have to live with that. shocking. absolutely shocking. her mother went to the hospital for rehabilitation after treatment for an infection. she died after four weeks. the family later discovered she had had huge doses of painkillers. those drugs even in their individual states let alone given together as a cocktail were far too high in their dosage and we're talking about 100% too high. the report says more than 650 patients probably died at gosport war memorial hospital because opiods where prescribed for no medical reason. it says in the 1990s there was institutionalized practise of shortening lives. doctorjane barton, a clinical assistant is named in the report as responsible for prescribing practise and was later disciplined

by medical ready regulators. bishop james jones who chaired the review told me there was a collective failure at the hospital. these drugs that were prescribed were then administered by nurses who would have known the effect of those drugs. the pharmacist in the hospital would have known the level of opioids, that he or she was being asked to supply. the whole institution including i have to say the consultants who had responsibility over the clinical assistant, they knew as far as our records show what was going on in the hospital. after the report was published, theyjoined other families who felt that before now they have been ignored by so many in a authority. we were blocked by every single one but today that wall has come tumbling down. and now we want answers. the truth is there now and we don't want this government to sit on it like any other inquiries.

we want action now. the report highlights a series of warnings and missed opportunities, back in 1991, nurses raised concerns about prescribing. in 2001 police investigated the deaths of 92 patients but there were no prosecutions. in 2009, an inquest ruled that some patients have been given an appropriate medication. will and in 2010, doctor barton was found guilty of serious professional him in 2010, doctor barton was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the medical council. in the same year, the crown prosecution service says there was insufficient evidence for a prosecutions. had the establishment listed and whenjunior nhs staff spoke out, had the establishment listened when ordinary families raise concern instead of treating them as troublemakers come up many of those deaths would not have happened. cindy and debbie's father went into the hospital to recover after a stroke but within a couple of weeks after medication he died. he deserved to get better,

come home and be a dad and be a granddad for many years to come. today she told me she felt the report was a big step forward. mixed emotions today. heartbroken but with a sense that actually we were right all along and eventually somebody has listen to us. ministers say prosecuting authorities will decide whether criminal charges should be brought, that is what the families of those who died now wish to see. let's speak to suzanne white, who is a patient safety campaigner and head of clinical negligence at specialist law firm leigh day. thank you for being with us. this is a huge report and it comes after a very long period of time. would you make of the suggestions that this was about a culture of prescribing

rather than the behaviour of individuals? i would like to say it isa individuals? i would like to say it is a pretty dark day for patient care, and my heart goes out to the families, the distress and torture that has been caused to them for decades effectively. i think there was a culture developed and we saw from the report the real concerns we re from the report the real concerns were raised in that report, that was donein were raised in that report, that was done in 2003 and not released until 2013. yet, still, the culture prevailed. it went on for a very long time and as the report says, the last part of chapter 12 it says it is precipitation of giving this almost became the norm to give patients this overdose. in terms of practical measures that can be introduced to try and prevent something like this happening at other hospitals, are the things that

immediately suggest themselves to you that were absent? there was a lack of clinical governments and there should be protections in place in any event. there are suppose to be reports about the deaths of patients know if there are concerns on how the patients are dying, corners get involved and that does not happen, that protection was not there. then the gmc and mmc was all involved and even then 2010 when doctor barton was before them, she was not struck off —— struck off. what one can say without any doubt of this report is that some of the decisions he hastened and shorten the lives of patients and you cannot a bstra ct the lives of patients and you cannot abstract motives from that but that is the conclusion of thejones inquiry. it seems like consultants, she was a gp and coming in to help ona she was a gp and coming in to help on a regular basis and was not in charge yet consultants apparently we re charge yet consultants apparently were aware of this prescribing and

use of opioids and nothing was done about that. they were made aware by junior staff so nursing staff were concerned. there are concerns were brushed aside. that is a problem with seniority, nurses do not have as much voice is as perhaps a doctor. we protect whistle blowers because of instance like that and you don't think that is enough. not commenced and this is what i do day in and out for 20 years. i have doctors and say i cannot say anything but i am going to tell you that... in this instance there were concerns about the care and i am afraid i can't say anything because iam afraid i can't say anything because i am worried about myjob. afraid i can't say anything because i am worried about my job. let me ask you this and we presume is patience and as the relatives and friends of patients that those were involved in care in the health service want to save lives, protect

lives, and sure lives can go on as long as they possibly can and to deal with situations in a way that is sympathetic to that need. this does not appear to have happened in this gosport war memorial hospital. are you worried that they're made bead parts —— be part of other areas of nhs... we bead parts —— be part of other areas of nhs. .. we have these huge failings, this is the biggest tailings, this is the tip of the iceberg. we have clinical records missing and we do not know, that certificate is not properly filled in andi certificate is not properly filled in and i am worried that there is may be cases elsewhere in other trusts. thank you very much. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the victim's commissioner and conservative peer, baroness newlove and james rampton, features writer for the independent. let me bring you some breaking news.

this is as a result of the votes earlier this afternoon on the withdrawal bill from the european union. this is that the house of lords has accepted the changes that have been made to the bill and effectively has given way to the government as is usually the case eventually when there are differences between the lords in the comments. you may remember it the outstanding issue of the question on what is called a meaningful vote of the absence of the european union deal come next january or the absence of the european union deal come nextjanuary or february time. the government won the vote in the house of commons and now the lords unaffected delete said that they excepted and you have your way, and we will not press these amendments any further. that means the european withdrawal bill can receive royal assent and become law, and it would become the act within a matter of weeks. that is the

breaking news out of westminster this evening. let's cross the atla ntic to this evening. let's cross the atlantic to the united states. president trump has said he will sign an executive order to end the controversial practise of separating migrant children from their parents at the us border with mexico. the move follows worldwide condemnation of the policy. the white house confirmed any immigrant families who cross the border will now be held together whilst their case is heard. president trump reaffirmed his campaign pledge to see immigration laws tightened. the republicans want security and incest on security for our country and we will have that at the same time we have compassion and we want to keep families together. it is very important, i will be signing something in a little while that will do that and the people in this room want to do that and they are working on various pieces of legislation to get it done. if you are weak. if you are weak, which some people would like you to be, if you are some people would like you to be, if you a re really some people would like you to be, if

you are really pathetically weak, the country is going to be over run with millions of people. if you are strong, then you do not have any heart. it is a tough dilemma. perhaps i would rather be strong. but that is a tough dilemma. anthony zurcher is in washington. there is no way to dress this up, by the administration, is this a u—turn? the administration, is this a u-turn? it is. the administration from donald trump on down have been building arguments around this policy by effectively their hands we re policy by effectively their hands were tied legally, enforcing the law, making it a misdemeanor crime to enter the us without documentation and by enforcing that law they were forced to separate pa rents law they were forced to separate parents from their children, because pa rents parents from their children, because pa re nts ha d parents from their children, because parents had to be processed criminally and children couldn't said they had to be moved someplace else. this was essentially something they had to do and there was no way to get around it other than by

changing the law. the president could not unilaterally order this change. there was a meeting between the president and members of congress, republican members of congress, republican members of congress last night and it became very clear that there was going to be no easy legislative fix in the house representatives were going to vote on something tomorrow but even if they pass something, it was not going to pass the stinnett said this may effectively be the law of the land puppy —— passed the senate. because of the pressure building on the administration and pictures and audio recording of children crying and the outcry, and that the policy was largely unpopular, the administration had to look for a way out and today they effectively reversed themselves. the president said what he —— did what he couldn't do, which is signed an executive order allowing families to stay together throughout the process of

adjudicating their claims for asylum orarranging adjudicating their claims for asylum or arranging them for deportation. the reality however is that this is going to be challenged in the court now because there are previous precedents that say you cannot hold children and definitely in the us, while their immigration status is adjudicated. this all stems from the president's desire to toughen up as you he would say it, immigration laws, which has been controversial for much of his base. we heard a lot about the wall which is yet to be build and he still insists mexico will pay for the wall being built. are there any other effective measures that the president and administration have taken since getting into office? they have been trained to use funds pretty

allocated to increase border security and they have changed the way they have prosecuted undocumented migration under the 0bama administration and the focus was in the areas along the us border, and catching people who came into the country illegally and deporting them there but once they got into the heartland of the country, away from the borders, there wasn't as robust an effort to find and deport these people. the trumpet ministration from the get go our changing that. they are pursuing deportation for undocumented migrants, no matter where they live, and are doing more to try to locate these people. there are more robust enforcement going on in the administration that was able to be done without any kind of legislation in congress. what you have seen and this is a familiar gambit that the administration is trying, you saw it earlier this year with attempts at

coming up with a legislative package, not only an attempt to address some of the things that he has done my take away protections for children who came over undocumented who have been living in the country for a long time and say they were going to have to be supported. it failed when i got tied up supported. it failed when i got tied up in the courts and now you're seeing it with separating families again trained to use this as a motivation to reach some sort of agreement on a broader immigration reform package and that seems to be the way that donald trump wants to get his ball build and wants to get more money for enforcement. so far, there has been no will in congress to do that. now that we are going to have some votes tomorrow but it seems unlikely anything is going to pass an immigration reform seems very unlikely this year. pass an immigration reform seems very unlikely this yearlj pass an immigration reform seems very unlikely this year. i think we can see now with a stroke of the pen the president signing this executive order in the oval office. so we can

hear his remarks. it is about keeping families together, while at the same time, being sure that we have a very powerful, very strong border and border security will be, equal if not greater than previously. we will have very strong for the mac borders but we will keep the families together. i did not like the site or the feeling, of families being separated. it has gone on for many years, with many administrations and we are working very ha rd administrations and we are working very hard on immigration. it has been kids lucked out into the cold, and it is a step—by—step. just like we dealt with north korea, just like we dealt with north korea, just like we dealt with iran, we dealt with an economy heading in the wrong direction, we have dealt with a lot of different problems and this has been one that has gone on for many

decades. we are keeping families together and this will solve that problem and at the same time we are keeping a very powerful border and it continues to be a 0—tolerance. we have zero tolerance for people that enterour have zero tolerance for people that enter our country illegally. with that i asked mike pence, vice president if you would like to say anything. thank you mr president. i think what he has made clear is that this is a choice between if we are a country with lot in order, borders, and a country that shows compassion and a country that shows compassion and heart of the american people, by taking this action, the president made it possible for us to continue to engage in enforcing the law against individuals who violate our lot in coming to the country illegally. and enable prosecution in the days forwarded to keep families together. we are calling on congress together. we are calling on congress to change the laws in this regard

and ina to change the laws in this regard and in a broad range of areas that will secure our borders and give us strength that we are once again going to take the steps necessary to enter the presence of illegal immigrants in america. enter the presence of illegal immigrants in americalj enter the presence of illegal immigrants in america. i think compassion comes into it, but it is tough if not tougher. thank you for your leadership sir, and we expect the house to do theirjob. the laws need to be change and this is something that president after president has dealt with for decades. and this one has stood up to fix it. we ask congress to do their part. thank you. 0k. you're going to have a lot of happy people. has been going on for 60 years. 60

years, no one has taking care of it and nobody has had the political courage to take of it. it has been going on for a long time. that is president trump about ten minutes ago in the white house. he was accompanied by mike pence, the vice president and secretary of state for homeland security. he has signed into the executive order that we we re into the executive order that we were talking about a couple minutes ago. the children of illegal migrants who crossed the border, and are arrested will no longer be held separately from their parents after pretty distressing scenes that cause an outcry not just pretty distressing scenes that cause an outcry notjust internationally but in the us as well. the president is signing an executive order, but it may have problems in the courts, which says that children should not

be held at all in those circumstances. let's get the sport now at the bbc sportscenter. another great day at the world cup. full of fixtures and more victories for portugal in a moment. spain is currently playing iran and absolutely dreadful first half. they are into the second half and it is all happening. diego costa getting a fortuitous opening there. he had him in when in but in the last few seconds, we believe iran have equalised. but they are just going to check it on dar at the moment. iran could be back in and level with spain in that fixture. currently officially 1—0. morocco is the first tea m officially 1—0. morocco is the first team knocked out of world cup though, and beaten 1—0 by portugal in the second gaming group the. the goal came from cristian renaldo, of

course. which will thinking? morocco's fans have to try something but polite as their message was, but although can be ruthless on the pitch. he lived up to his reputation, and one moroccan defence seemed to disregard as he does it m, seemed to disregard as he does it in, the fourth time we have seen this celebration in russia, but maybe not the last. it would end their participation in the world cup as they said about getting back on level terms and perhaps they should have had a penalty. the manager seem to think so but not the last time we will see this side either. the north africans kept plugging away, closer with every chance wall renaldo, he was not. would this come back to haunt portugal? their opponents have plenty of opportunities to make them play but simply cannot take any of

them, meeting this man could celebrate yet again. the last 16 in touching distance for him while holm is calling for morocco. egypt are also out of the competition, as ours saudi arabia after today's second result. there was also a single goal between uruguay in saudi arabia in their match. into last 16, here is adam. as the world cup group begins to ta ke adam. as the world cup group begins to take shape, the mood amongst opposing fans could scarcely be different. a win would be enough to send you uruguay through, but only a win will do. they have both been fearing the worst at the site of him in the box but in truth you should have done better. what he could not quite managed, the perfect way to celebrate his 100th appearance for his country. the size of saudi

arabia's task growing bigger. is one about with purpose, and with the best of their first—half chances. wall elimination loomed uruguay continue to come the closest. seemingly desperate to make amends up seemingly desperate to make amends up was by now making the chances all by himself. the result, the same. but it was only the final result that mattered. saudi arabia's progress ended and uruguay through to the knockout stage. the england manager has dislocated his shoulder. he was out running and was told by the doctor that punching the air is not an option should england score against panama on sunday. a number of the players spent the day and the sights and st petersburg. they were

making the most of some culture in their downtime. that is all the sport for now and quickly to tell you the iranian goal was this allowed so spain is still 1—0 up. you are having a good time, aren't you? lovely. you are having a good time, aren't you ? lovely. we you are having a good time, aren't you? lovely. we will talk to you later. the former president of fifa attended a world cup match in moscow today despite having been barred from all footballing activities. sepp blatter is currently serving a six—year ban enforced by fifa for alleged unethical conduct in relation to a corruption scandal which engulfed the body in 2015. his appearance however is not a direct violation of the ban, according to fifa. let's get more now on the house of lords approving the government's proposals on how much say mps will get over the final brexit. they have withdrawn their remaining

objections. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth is at westminster. let me ask you first of all, was this expected given the government had won that meaningful vote?|j think had won that meaningful vote?” think so. the last real sticking point around the ee withdrawal bill and there have been many was the issue of the meaningful vote in the ad is how much power parliament should have it to direct the government's actions in the event of the no brexit deal. that was the remaining fight if you like left in this bill. the potential rebels on the conservative side, there are conservative mps considering voting against the government on this issue and most of them said they would back the government ultimately and therefore, that went through. the house of lords always has a bit of a conjecture that if it has gone back and forth, ultimately the house of lords, they appreciate what the commons has said because that is the

elected chamber. the lords have chosen not to carry on the fight over this particular issue which that it has passed through its torturous passage of parliament and soon we can expected to have royal assent meaning it becomes legislation, it becomes law and this is the bill that sets up the process by which the uk will leave the eu so ita by which the uk will leave the eu so it a significant moment. is the hard work over? this bill took 11 months to co m plete work over? this bill took 11 months to complete its parliamentary stages or is thisjust to complete its parliamentary stages or is this just the beginning?m to complete its parliamentary stages or is thisjust the beginning? it is just the beginning. this bill was the first really crucial bit of legislation relating to brexit because as i said, the process by which the uk will be the european union, things like bringing all of european union law into uk law and putting on the statute book so on the day of brexit there is not some gaping legislative. he that is the kind of thing you dealt with and it was a tricky passage through parliament. what will follow is a

host of other bills that the government has to put forward with customs and huger trading arrangements and immigration. each of those will have its own sticking points and arguments in parliament before the final shape of brexit begins to form. i think it is a moment for the government that this bill has gone through. they have had to compromise at stages and its passage and have had to to a dunn reach agreements with mps who have objections. is the first of many premature battles to come over what the relationship with the you should be after brexit. thank you very much. some british airways passengers have complained after their tickets were cancelled because the prices were too low. the airline said it sent some travel agents the incorrect fares, for flights to tel aviv and dubai. ba has apologised and says it will provide a full refund. in a statement, the airline said, "errors like this are exceptionally rare, and if they do occur, under contract law, there is no binding contract between the parties.

we have apologised to customers and offered a gesture of goodwill". let's see how it has gone down with one of those customers in one of the experts. with me is jack sheldon, the founder of jack's flight club. also i'm joined by dr pooja takhar, a ba customerfrom romford in essex. let's hear from the doctor first. thank you for being with us on bbc news and tell us what happened in your case, where were you going and why we re case, where were you going and why were you going there and what was the fair? on the 11th ofjune i booked three return tickets from london heathrow to dubai on direct flights and everything was fine, i am travelling to divide because it is my dad's first death anniversary and we have a ceremony that i have to attend and it is important for me

to attend and it is important for me to go in august. what was the price ifi to go in august. what was the price if i may ask? the to go in august. what was the price ifi may ask? the price to go in august. what was the price if i may ask? the price was actually decent i think for the three flights, myself, my husband and my daughter i think i gotjust in the £700 upright that does sound good. it does but to these guys again or it was notjust it does but to these guys again or it was not just that flight. it was a number of travel agents offering the same flight. so as far as you we re the same flight. so as far as you were concerned it was a rural offer but it happened to be a particularly good deal. absolutely, a number of travel agents were offering this and yes, it was lower than what i would normally take, but these things happen. airlines have sales. so i went ahead and book the flight, i got confirmation. new got so far as to actually be given ticket numbers in all of that? i did. i receive my e ticket numbers in the in our numbers in the booking reference number, and use that reference number, and use that reference number to log on to manage my

booking and provide information and selected a meal for my daughter. when did you get the bad news? about a week later, i got a cryptic e—mail saying i think it has been raised against my booking please log on to see what the issue is and when i log on to see what the issue is and when i logon there was a message to see that they cancelled my flight because they be pricing error and offering a full refund and offering £100 per person voucher in compensation and that is the only correspondence i have had from either british airways, and nothing else. would you make of their statement that errors occur and if it isa statement that errors occur and if it is a mistaken there there is no contract that can be legally enforced? i understand pricing errors happen but most companies will go ahead and offer those or honoured the pricing errors. if i went into a shop and bought

something, and how can you call me and say come back and return the product and we will give you your money back in a little bit of compensation. if i want to cancel a flight, compensation. if i want to cancel a flight, they would make mejump through hoops to make me cancel my flight, through hoops to make me cancel my flight, why is it with one statement they can cancel my flight and isa have not received my refund, i have had no correspondence. i spent hours on the phone the last two days chasing reddish airways and i am the one actually who has been... making all the effort. but passing information between the two companies as well because one says one thing and i am the one who is kind of bringing them together so that has been really frustrating. let's hear from an expert when he makes of your case. this is a case where an aeroplane itself made this mistake, is it unusual and if it is

not that unusual what normally happens? i would not say it is not unusual. definitely not as unusual as the verb which they use, these m ista kes as the verb which they use, these mistakes happen on a weekly basis. that happen with british airways multiple times a year as well and it is the nature of the business that there are pricing errors. i com pletely there are pricing errors. i completely agree that she should be upset about this because in this situation it is not as if british airways could say the price was so low nobody could possibly fathom this was an actual... because it was too good. exactly. it is a £200 ticket and you book the flight fully expecting it is just you got a better deal than you normally would on this particular... we are used to the fact that airlines have particular practises and if you play the game along you get a good price. we recommend tracking prices because

fluctuations are massive. they could jump fluctuations are massive. they could jump 60% of one—day and 70% down, it is happening all the time. legally they are right but what is their decision? bad business and bad pr as well. that is the reason why when m ista kes well. that is the reason why when mistakes happen, most airlines would honour them about 70% of the time and in cases like this one where a ticket was maybe 50% lower than it should've been, it is almost always honoured because the airline does not want the bad pr of counselling tickets a week later. i am shocked british airways that this especially with the attention ryanair got a couple months ago. it is not good.” think that is pretty fair. the founder of jack's flight club. think that is pretty fair. the founder ofjack's flight club. and the doctor, good luck with finding

your alternative flights. if you're travelling or perhaps not as usefully if you're not travelling, here is the weather forecast. some showers in the for north of england but otherwise it is a dry story, showers gradually departing to the north sea in the early morning. clear skies further south you are in the last dregs of humid air clearing away. temperatures away from southeast england and anglia dropping widely into mid—single figures. a bit more of a breeze as well and coming from a northwesterly direction. most of it having a dry day, and cloud building up down towards the east midlands but vast majority of long sunny spells and not as warm as it has been in the south and for many temperatures will be in the teens. been to take us into thursday night, another corvette with single figure temperatures to start your friday.

friday into the weekend, lots of dry is an temperatures will be slowly on the rise again. this is bbc news, our latest headlines. president trump has signed an executive order to change his immigration policy, designed to prevent children being separated from their parents at the mexican border. 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. the eu withdrawal bill can now become law, after the house of lords accepted the house of commons' decision not to give parliament the power to reject the final brexit deal. some british airways passengers have complained after their tickets were cancelled because the prices were too low. the airline said it sent some travel agents the incorrect fares, for flights to tel aviv and dubai.

let's get more on the report into the gosport war memorial hospital, which showed over a50 deaths could have been avoided if patients hadn't been diagnosed with strong painkillers they didn't need. this morning, the report's findings were delivered by the panel's chair, the right reverend james jones, who spoke about the strength of the families affected. the granddaughter of one of the victims, bridget reeves, said concerns about the hospital had been raised by another report in 2003, but the contents were not published for ten years. and the author of that report, professor richard baker, said he didn't understand why the authorities didn't act much earlier. they have all been speaking today, so let's hear what they've said. what happened at gosport war memorial hospital would not have been revealed without the tenacity and fortitude shown by the affected families. the process of disclosure to those families here this morning was private and emotional.

i should say only that those families now face a further challenge of absorbing what the documents have revealed. they deserve everyone's support in so doing. 12 investigations, and here we are. july 2002, the commissioner of health improvement report ordered by sir ian donaldson was issued. and whilst its contents were distressing, it came with no accountability. october 2002, he then commissioned professor richard baker to complete his random audit. the results of which were locked down for 11 years. bearing in mind that medical records are destroyed after this time. when its contents were finally released in 2013, after hard campaigning, the families weren't even given the right to digest its contents before public publication. it was abused by powers of the mighty, and nothing more than exploitation of us all.

learning of the shocking revelations was one thing, but knowing that the recommendations that were in the report were ignored for all that time, noting that it was the duty of the state to investigate those 837 deaths, shook these families. it's quite extraordinary. i don't understand why an investigation like this panel was not set up fairly soon after my own report, which showed that there were reasons for being concerned. i think when you get evidence, even the preliminary evidence that a pattern of inappropriate care that may have led to deaths of patients over a period of ten years consistently found in one institution, there needs to be a proper investigation. it may well be that a judicial inquiry might have been

the way to deal with it, and taking account of all the other legal processes at the same time, that would have perhaps been an ideal way to deal with that. but that decision didn't get taken, and we are where we are. that was doctor richard baker, who wrote the report back in 2003 that had to wait years before was released. let's get more now on that key vote in the commons today where the government have seen off a potential defeat on how much says mps will get on the final brexit vote. in the last hour, peers have received... i've been speaking to the labour mp, frank field. he was one of four labour mps to side with the government. i never thought we should have a big, long bill like this. i tried to abolish the government's bill and have a short one,

because the truth is, and you know it, that if the house of commons wants a meaningful vote, we will have a meaningful vote. and one of the members did cite the debate to destroy a premiership in the second world war to bring churchill to power. that was on an adjournment debate, but we made our views felt. there's no question. i've been clear all along we will have a vote, we mustn't do it in a way at the moment which ties the prime minister's hands in negotiation. there'll be people listening that say it's fine, but this is about what happens if the negotiations failed and the prime minister's effectively not come up with something good enough, and that parliament and should have the opportunity to say, "we aren't impressed by this, and this is what we think should happen". no, that is absolutely true. all of these questions are a matter of balance and judgement. i thought, and many others did,

that if we did this, it would make a non—agreement more likely than not. because what i've learned, and i think many other people have learned is how nasty the other side is in their negotiations to us. here we are, colleagues for decades and decades. we've been a very substantial contributor to the eu, and at every turn, they've tried the humble the british delegation. i'm all in favour of having fisticuffs with them, but that's not the approach the government will have. but believe you me, we have taken back control, we took control today. and to his great credit, dominic grieve decided that it was in the country's best interest for him to vote against his own amendment. i think though, there's not the steam behind the trade bills and the other bills which are to come, this was the crucial crunch. and the intellectual powerhouse that was opposing the whole process

as it was being conducted has actually said that he's convinced at the moment for the approach the government's taking. that's frank field speaking to me earlier. don't worry, his shoulder has nothing to do with strong—arming by the whips, he assures me he's recovering. in hungary, parliament has passed a package of laws which criminalise the work of human rights groups with asylum seekers. the vote defied a warning from the council of europe that the legislation breaks european laws on freedom of expression and freedom of association. with me isjoining me now is leopold traugott, a policy analyst at open europe. and we are also joined via webcam by peter kreko, an analyst at the hungarian consultancy political capital.

peter, let me start with you. a lot of attention has focused on hungary's decision. is it any surprise, given the statements that the prime minister has made that it should be legislating in this way? no, ithink should be legislating in this way? no, i think what is going on right now is that he makes an important leap. his way of building up the illiberal regime. right now, everybody is watching both domestically and internationally. so he thinks it is good timing for that. what is the only extraordinary thing is that this time, he almost totally ignored the criticism coming from the european people's supporters. after the third

consecutive majority, he practically lost all his political inhibition. 0ne lost all his political inhibition. one of the most striking things is the reference in this legislation that alien cultures can't be settled in hungary. and yet the government has been very effective at closing the door to any people seeking asylu m the door to any people seeking asylum or migrants who wanted to come into the hungary. why is this felt to be necessary? this constitutional modification today, this whole package serves partially symbolic reasons. it's notjust about saying that no alien culture can move the hungry, but that state institutions have to defend christian culture, whatever it means in the constitution. but there is one very in the constitution. but there is one very important thing we should not ignore, and it received the

smallest attention. and this is changing thejudicial smallest attention. and this is changing the judicial system, creating a new system of administrative courts that could ta ke administrative courts that could take away some of the powers of the already existing courts. and this can bea already existing courts. and this can be a very important step in curbing the independence of the judiciary. so this is a package that is sporting a very symbolic box, but the real core of this legislation that was passed today is partially this changing of judiciary that was passed today is partially this changing ofjudiciary system. and on the other hand, criminalising some. . . and on the other hand, criminalising some... but the curve very important critics. let's bring in leopold from open europe. how does what the government's done today fit in with what's happening in the rest of

europe, particularly in the wake of the migration crisis that germany had such a profound impact? we certainly see that approach is becoming increasingly accepted across europe. if you look back at 2015, . .. across europe. if you look back at 2015,... we now see that more politicians, be it germany, australia or italy, are pushing forward the same policies. cracking down on immigration at home, there are certainly aid generalship here. and even governments like the angela merkel government are now facing similar demands from her own partners, saying that they want to stop them from coming if they've already registered in another uk country. that might not seem surprising —— surprising because they've been told of the first country you arrive is where he supposed to register and. through

germany, many people agree with this position, and even angela merkel's party think she has been too liberal on immigration policy. but the problem if you implement these more heartland policies, it will create a domino effect across europe because everyone will start closing their borders. and that's the free movement zone for you citizens. how important is the eu summit forgetting some consensus in an area where consensus seems to have been absent for several years? on the one hand on sunday, there is an informal emergency summit of those countries most affected. specifically about how to get refugees return to the countries where they were claimed. but i don't think there'll be any new deal reached, disappointingly. but it will be important to get

something going to show that there is the possibility, even if it's not there yet. leopold and peter, thank you very much for being with us this evening on bbc news. illegal treasure hunters have damaged part of hadrian's wall, according to historic england. 50 holes have been found around the 1,900—year—old bru nton turret section of the wall, which stretches between north tyneside and bowness on solway in cumbria. richard moss reports. walking the wall, but not for pleasure. instead, mike collins is hunting. not for treasure, but for these, the telltale signs that nighthawks have been here. metal detectorists digging under the shadow of hadrian's wall, looking to plunder the past. we've acted on a tip off from a member of the public and found over 50 holes have been dug by nighthawks on this particular piece of the wall.

we're not talking about the responsible detecting community, the hobby detectorists who make the proper checks, which are people that come out in the middle of the night to try and find objects for their own financial gain. nighthawks have been digging holes all along the wall in hope of unearthing this kind of treasure. but this roman helmet was found by a law—abiding detectorists, allowing it to be studied, conserved, and displayed. of course, we can't be sure what happens to illegal finds. what we'll never now know about this hole is whether what was found here was a piece of old metal machinery from the farm, or whether it was actually real roman treasure. but the point is that this wasn't an attemptjust to steal from the landowner here, but to steal history from all of us. that's why the experts are now looking to recruit the public to target the nighthawks. we know from excavations and perfectly legitimate detecting in the area around hadrian's wall, but outside the detective areas that the finds can be quite spectacular, as well as providing amazing archaeological information.

if people see something that they're suspicious of, somebody detecting in a site like this close to hadrian's wall, it's legitimate for them to call the police. it's a criminal offence, and we value the public‘s support and helping with the. within weeks, these holes will have merged back into the landscape. but the history they could've contained may have been lost forever. richard moss, bbc look north, on hadrian's wall. i'm joined by dr rob collins, an archaeologist from the university of newcastle. thank you very much for being with us this evening. how significant is the damage that's been done? it's really tough to say. we don't know what's been found by those nighthawks, so it's difficult to say how much damage there has been. what is clear is there have been —— has been damaged and they have stolen some of our history. you say they've stolen some of the history, i guess you could see —— say that they see

themselves as enthusiastic amateurs. is it not possible they are at least making a contribution, even if it's not a contribution that is in a way professionals would approve of? there are a number of very committed, very respectable and a very conscientious metal detector —ists across the uk, and they get permission to search on land by landowners or get appropriate licenses if they are searching in a protected area. people going to a scheduled monument, especially a famous site like hadrian's wall, are essentially these democrat these. then does there need to be a more proactive effort to prevent, or prosecute them? yes, it's tough to stop any one person engaging in this sort of crime. and it's a very long walk. guess, this is not an active

border wall or fence, walk. guess, this is not an active border wall orfence, we walk. guess, this is not an active border wall or fence, we don't want soldiers there. but people need to be aware that our cultural heritage isa be aware that our cultural heritage is a finite resource. and when people steal bits and pieces of it, we can't just replace people steal bits and pieces of it, we can'tjust replace it. that's a bit of the past that's gone forever. viewers of the bbc for serious detector —ists would see a light—hearted but sincere portrait of people who do this is a passion. they follow the rules most of the time and get rewarded for it in seeing things on display in museums. is there something about a relationship that develops with good metal detector —ists, where that get the kudos of being the person who brought us back to life? absolutely. the vast majority of metal detector —ists are conscientious. they record their finds, —ists are conscientious. they record theirfinds, if if —ists are conscientious. they record their finds, if if you work for a scheme, you get to know those

detector us and build a rapport, and see their findings they make. they make a contribution to britain's history, so it's very striking when nighthawks robbed or attack a site. and that's how you feel about it, that they are that like the grave robbers of ancient tombs in egypt in other countries? you put them on the same path? i would, other countries? you put them on the same path? iwould, iwould other countries? you put them on the same path? i would, i would say they are essentially thieves, they're not as trespassers, but they are stealing from that land. and when it's our heritage, it's stealing from everyone. indeed it is. thank you very much for speaking to us. rob collins, i don't know why called to mike collins. i should've listened to what i said at the beginning, my apologies. thank you. if he goes at me with a metal

detector, i will know why. could this summer be about to lose its fizz? there's a warning today about the worst shortages for decades of the gas used to make fizzy drinks, c02. factories have been forced to stop production of it because of a lack of the key ingredient, ammonia. danny savage reports. fizzy drinks are part of our everyday lives. prosecco, diet coke, sparkling water... they are vital to the success of our pot and drinks industry. but they all need within this very unexciting looking tank, and stocks of c02 at didsbury and leeds are getting low. enough for now that a fresh supply is needed soon. it's absolutely huge. 90% of our production is carbonated beer. we need the c02 to introduce our carbonation. brewer brian has been promised another delivery of c02 at the start of next month, but things are getting a bit tense in the industry. we should be ok for a couple of weeks, as long as the issue doesn't continue longer than our supplier has said it will. 0ther brewers are in a similar position. just keep an eye on it,

or reduce production slightlyjust to make sure they get through. c02 puts the bubbles in fizzy drinks. currently at least five producers across northern europe are off—line for maintenance, creating the worst supply crisis for decades. but the message is, "don't panic". we have got some shortages and issues, but don't stop going to the pub, be a bit more understanding. we are coping with it, and we hope that working with those companies that we can get the supply of c02, which is so vital to the brewing industry, back on stream as quickly as possible. but could we cope with a flat future without our fizzy favourites? so how about gin without the tonic? 0k. it's quite different. better with the tonic? better with the tonic. i usually drink real ale anyway, so i wouldn't have a problem with not having any c02.

carbon dioxide is used for packing food, as well. but indications from the drinks industry are that this is going to get worse before it gets better. danny savage, bbc news, leeds. temperatures are set to be on the rise once again. the last 2a hours, things have been turning a bit fresh as those have noticed already, this humid air is clearing up from the southeast corner. lots of showers to begin with with scotland and northern england, but they will edge off into the north sea later on, there'll be one or two left in their week. temperatures widely down to the single figures. a fresh start with thursday morning, blue skies start over the vast majority, the exception being shetland and northern eastern scotland. long and

sunny spells for many. the traditional start the summer, it's the summer solstice, the day of the longest day lights, and many will have strong sunshine to go with that. but it will feel a bit fresher than recent days, with temperatures in the mid to high teens, if the 20s. in the mid to high teens, if the 205. a in the mid to high teens, if the 20s. a cool night will take us into friday, and into the weekend high pressure is building, and temperatures are the rise again. is an temperatures will be slowly on the rise again. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. president trump has backed down on his most controversial policy to curb immigration, he's signed an executive order to stop separating children from their parents at the border. these detention centres have been set up in the last month. they have become hugely controversial and widely condemned while the president says he did not like these pictures and he signed an executive order. we will be live in washington. immigration is also on the agenda in

europe. hungary's parliament has passed legislation — which criminalises the work of human rights groups — that help asylum seekers. the vote defied a warning from the council of europe that the legislation breaks european laws. the search continues for survivors on the ferry that sank in indonesia, almost 200 people are believed to be missing.
