downing street says there'll be no delay is a dash of tuesday's crucial commons vote on the government's plans for leaving the european union. on theresa may's deal, one leading brexiteer says her proposals, will harm the uk. i do think that we can have a fantastic future if we do brexit right. i passionately, sincerely believe that. we'll have the latest on a crucial week for the prime minister. also on the programme. in new zealand, police say they've found a body in the search for the missing british backpacker grace millane. i don't think i'll be alive in ten years, personally. charlie rowley, a survivor of the salisbury novichok poisoning says he fears the nerve agent, will eventually kill him. and police investigate alleged racist abuse against the manchester city striker raheem sterling. good evening.

the government says there will be no cancellation of tuesday's commons vote on theresa may's brexit plans, dismissing speculation it could be dropped or delayed. the brexit secretary stephen barclay says the prime minister is fighting hard to win and would stay on even if the deal is rejected by mps. today the leave—supporting former foreign secretary borisjohnson said a defeat in parliament could strengthen theresa may's hand, in getting a better deal from the eu, and he claims there'd be widespread cross—party support for her plans if proposals for the irish backstop were removed. here's our political correspondent iain watson. is she seeking divine intervention?

theresa may attended church in her constituency this morning, weathering many political storms but you still having to fight for a deal and for herjob. some ministers think the outlook is so bleak she should postpone this week's crucial commons vote. but the brexit secretary said it won't be called off. the voters going ahead. it is a good deal. it's the only deal. and it's important we don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. we are in uncharted waters. yes, the primer still will continue in post but the question... can she stay on as prime minister? absolutely, yes. the brexit secretary vote to leave the eu but his better—known colleague was a face of the campaign. boris johnson was colleague was a face of the campaign. borisjohnson was asked in parliament this week what is big idea was now? today he revealed it, bringing back some of the divorce bill until we get a better deal. u nless bill until we get a better deal. unless they help us, there is a risk of no deal. and to incentivise them further we should say that we will

delay the payment of at least half the 39... can i finish this? add least half of the 39 billion until delivery trade deal and that's the way to put a bit of a tiger in the tank. if he doesn't like theresa may's deal, would you like to replace her as conservative leader? ican give replace her as conservative leader? i can give categorical promise that i will continue to advocate for what i think is sensible... you are going to stand against her. the most sensible plan to get out of this mess. the peoples vote campaign believes the final say on brexit should not be left to politicians at all and at should not be left to politicians at alland ata should not be left to politicians at all and at a rally in east london, the shadow minister wanted her party leadership to do the same. the promises made in 2016 are so far removed from the reality of the 585

page withdrawal agreement, it is time to take the brexit decision back to the people. the cabinet minister amber rudd has talked about the possibility of another referendum if theresa may is deal falls and another government minister today says it looks increasingly likely, but mps have to vote for it. and the attitude of labours leadership could be crucial but they seem to be in no hurry to commit. we will keep all options on the table and that includes a public vote but we would have to go through a number of different scenarios to reach that stage. many mps are reining on the prime minister is parade uniting on her deal but deciding on an alternative is more complex. ian watson, bbc news. everyone is having their say ahead of the crucial vote on tuesday but it seems the numbers are against the prime minister? yes, she faces a challenging week, a widespread feeling at westminster that she is going to lose this vote and very senior colleagues were trying to encourage her to put off until

tomorrow any decisions on whether to go ahead with that of vote giving they think it will be near certain defeat but downing street say the vote will go ahead. the brexit secretary said it will go ahead as well. what happens after that, frankly you may as well employ an astrologer rather than a political correspondent to work it out because nothing is certain. a relatively small defeat, just 21 days to have an alternative plan, go back to parliament, the european council is meeting this week, senior european leaders, and she can find out if there's any negotiation room or not. she's not holding out much hope for that one. some mps could have had enough of it and could trigger a motion in no confidence and trigger a new leadership contest. labour have a confidence motion, no confidence in the government, to try to trigger the general election they say they want but i'm told they won't do that, they won't when and the northern ireland dup are not on

side so one place we can trust the prime ministers there is, she says there will be uncertainty if she loses and she is right. 0k, ian, thank you very much. meanwhile, a demonstration billed as a brexit betrayal march saw thousands of people take to the streets of london. the rally, organised by ukip, was attended by the activist tommy robinson, who's recently been given an advisory role with the party. the march was put under tight restrictions by the police, fearing clashes with an anti—tommy robinson counter demonstration. president trump is looking for his third chief of staff after announcing that john kelly will be leaving his administration, at the end of the year. the retired marine general, who had previously served as homeland security secretary, recently had to deny reports he privately called mr trump an idiot. the french prime minister edouard philippe has vowed to restore national unity after the fourth weekend of protests over rising fuel taxes and living costs by so called "yellow vest" demonstrators. there were more than 2,000 arrests in clashes with police yesterday.

president macron is expected to make an address to the nation on the protests tomorrow. police in new zealand investigating the murder of the british backpacker grace millane say they've found a body on the outskirts of the city auckland. they believe it is that of the 22—year—old from essex, but so far, there's been no formal identification. a 26—year—old man has been charged with her murder. phil mercer reports. how and why grace millane died will be the focus of an intense investigation that new zealand police say is far from over. a body found in a forest in the waitakere ranges, a beauty spot with hiking trails a short drive from auckland, is thought to be that of the university graduate from essex. police say the remains were discovered close to a main road. we located a body which we believe to be grace. the formal identification process will now take place but based on the evidence we have gathered over the past few days

we expect that this is grace. obviously this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. grace millane was last seen on security video at a hotel in auckland more than a week ago. the 26—year—old man she was with has been charged with her murder and is due in court tomorrow. the backpacker‘s father david arrived in new zealand on friday to make a public appeal for help in finding his daughter. he said she was fun—loving and outgoing. miss millane graduated from lincoln university in september. she had been travelling alone in new zealand for a fortnight following a trip through south america. it was supposed to have been the adventure of a lifetime. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. the england footballer raheem sterling claims newspaper

coverage of young black footballers helps fuel racism and aggressive behaviour. his comments come after police said they were studying video footage thought to show racial abuse being aimed at sterling as he played for manchester city against chelsea at stamford bridge yesterday, as andy swiss reports. he is one of english football is a leading stars but as raheem sterling went to retrieve the ball at sta mford went to retrieve the ball at stamford bridge last night, a spectator allegedly racially abused him. police are now reviewing the footage, chelsea say they are also investigating, and now he has had his say. in a post on instagram he said... he claims some newspaper articles about players helped fuel racism and aggressive behaviour. he referred to aggressive behaviour. he referred to a headline about his manchester city team—mate buying a house for his

mother when she said painted the player in a bad light while he said a similar story about a white team—mate was worded more positively. he said this was unacceptable and players should be given an equal chance. here at manchester city, raheem sterling has become a rare talent for both club and country, but he himself is no stranger to headlines criticising his lifestyle rather than focusing on his football. there are scrutiny ofa gun on his football. there are scrutiny of a gun tattoo on his leg, and he said it was in memory of his late father while other articles are focused on how much money he spends fault of the antiracism group kick it out said his abuse yesterday shows what is still going on in football. adding they had already commented about the way he has been treated differently by the media. there is a feeling of certainly seeing the comments from other footballers, other black and ethnic minority footballers, under his

comments, i think it shows there is a huge amount of support and certainly a feeling of institutional racism within sectors of the media. a recent report says racism in football is rising and last week a ba na na football is rising and last week a banana skin was thrown onto the pitch after a black player scored for arsenal. his treatment and comments have only intensified the focus for that one of english football is most talented and most scrutinised stars hoping for a fair and level playing field. andy swiss, bbc news. an 18—year—old teenager has been stabbed to death at a block of flats in south—east london. paramedics from the london air ambulance were called to the scene in greenwich last night, but were unable to save him. a 17—year—old boy has been arrested. charlie rowley, one of the survivors of the salisbury novichok poisoning, says he's worried the substance will eventually kill him, and he's terrified for the future. he became ill along with his partner dawn sturgess, who later died, after coming into contact with the bottle containing the nerve agent used to attack sergei and julia skripal in march. our home affairs correspondent

june kelly has more. it is six months since charlie rowley witnessed his partner dawn stu rg ess rowley witnessed his partner dawn stu rgess collapse. rowley witnessed his partner dawn sturgess collapse. she was convulsing and foaming at the mouth. i phoned 999. i was getting medical advice. on how to revive her. dawn stu rg ess ha d advice. on how to revive her. dawn sturgess had become an unintended victim of the nerve agent novichok. charlie rowley found what he thought was a discarded bottle of perfume and given it to her. in fact, it contained novichok and she sprayed it on her wrist. just over a week later, she was dead. charlie rowley also came into contact with the nerve agent. he was taken from his home in wiltshire to salisbury district hospital, staff saved his

life but he's now spoken to the sunday mirror newspaper of the damage on the novichok is done to his health. my eyesight is not good. i can't function properly. ijust feel a bit done in. i haven't gone com pletely feel a bit done in. i haven't gone completely blind. i'm seeing double vision. it's confusing. it's worrying. and confusing. plus they told me i had numerous strokes. and he's trying to go on while living with a loss of dawn. all the time i dream about her. i wish it had been me who died. june kelly reporting.

now, how do you give fossils a future? put them online. well, that's exactly what london's natural history museum and washington's smithsonian have set out to do — digitally record millions of fossils in their collections, many of which have been hidden away in drawers for decades. our science correspondent victoria gill reports. so we're in our brachiopod collection. tucked into thousands of draws, the entire history of life on earth. tucked into thousands of drawers, the entire history of life on earth. there's dozens of things in every box in every draw. wow! yes, yes. there are a0 million fossils stored here at the smithsonian museum and a team is carrying out the mammoth task of digitally recording every single one. we have drawers here in the collection that haven't been opened in decades. the data held within the museum drawers is trapped and we are bringing that trapped data out into the light. we are mobilising it for research. photographing and logging

the details of each specimen in this collection alone will take an estimated 50 years. but it's part of an effort by institutions around the world to create a global digital museum where every piece of the fossil record can be studied online. the devastating fire at brazil's national museum this year destroyed knowledge that was amassed over two centuries and was a stark reminder of the need to protect and log such scientifically valuable collections. this goes way beyond insuring this huge collection. it means that this triceratops skull for example could be in dozens of places at once, anywhere in the world for any scientist to study. and with a very detailed digital scan and a 3d printer, researchers here at bristol university have been able to bring these dinosaurs into their lab. this model is great because it allows us to look in detail at the anatomy and pick it up and hold it and turn it around. amazing. now we can actually test ideas about how these animals actually functioned.

the digital skulls can be given a virtual stress tests to work out what the animals ate, how they moved and so what their environment was like 150 million years ago. museums have gathered vast amounts of evidence of hundreds of millions of years of evolution. now the challenge is to make sure it's shared and studied, not hidden away in the dark. victoria gill, bbc news in washington, dc. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. bye for now. hello. sunday did bring a few sharp showers, but did also bring a lot of sunshine. and hopefully you got out and were able to enjoy a little bit of that great afternoon at hailing island in hampshire, because sunshine will become perhaps increasingly in short supply as we move further into our week ahead. on a positive note, the winds will be lighterfor the a positive note, the winds will be lighter for the first couple hello. you are watching bbc news. lets return to brexit — and with the vote on the prime minister's proposed brexit withdrawal dealjust two days away,

has she done enough to convince the electorate? nina warhurst has been touring the north west of england talking to voters about how they think the brexit process is going, and whether the prime minister's deal should be supported. herfinal report comes from the village of tarleton. this is windy tarleton, west lancashire, where 55% voted leave. there are jobs to be had in these rural communities. few people claim benefits. standards of education are higher than average. i'm clive, i'm a farmer, and i voted remain. i'm george, i'm also a farmer, and i voted to leave. when it came to the vote, families were divided then, and wondering now what is next. i don't think a lot of people saw the implications of how hard it was going to be to get out of all this lot. you voted remain, but would

you back the current deal? yeah. i don't think there's anybody out there that is going to be able to get a better deal out of what we're doing at the moment, and i think we should leave theresa may alone and let her get on with it. and do her damnedest for us. is there a part of you, george, that thinks, "i wish i voted remain"? a little. just because i think that now we're not going to get the correct deal. it's not going to be the brexit you envisaged? no. no, i don't think it will be. i think we might have to eat a little bit of humble pie and see what comes of that. with red cabbage on the side. oh, i'd love some red cabbage on the side. this area's mp is close to the prime minister. she thinks theresa may's built the right deal for tarleton. not all of ta rleton is terribly fussed. my name's chris. i'm a tree surgeon, and i voted to remain. nothing really will change, because to trade with the eu, will have to agree to their rules.

so you think there'll be no difference for you? not really, no. you don't look that worried, then, chris. i think a lot of people are past caring, aren't they? but they say to get angry is to care, and some who weren't interested when the vote happened are certainly bothered by brexit now. i'm kelly. i'm a barber. i didn't vote because i was on holiday. when i say brexit, what's your reaction? oh, don't talk to me about that! all the customers talk to us about brexit all the time, and they're all fed up with listening to it. it's always on the telly, and nothing ever seems to get done. what should they do? get on with it. make a decision and stick to it. life feels good in tarleton now, and whether they become winners or losers, they're getting their brexit wish. there've been a series of rallies

taking place in london during the course of this afternoon. one by supporters of brexit, one by opponents of those particular supporters in the third by the campaignfora supporters in the third by the campaign for a people's mode. —— people's vote. our political correspondent nick eardley is at a rally being held by the the people's vote campaign at the excel centre in london. he sent this update. the cross party campaign certainly think it has wind in its sales. the prime minister has always said she will not hold another referendum, but some are hoping they can force her hand on that. one of them is the labourmpfor her hand on that. one of them is the labour mp for tooting, and shadow sports minister. labour has been hesitant to get fully behind this campaign, had sent a? do you think thatis campaign, had sent a? do you think that is changing? i don't agree. i think the labour party had given

theresa may the opportunity to negotiate a deal. it is a botched brexit deal, he does not protect our jobs, is not good for our economy, does not look after our workers' rights and protect our environmental standards. now the labour party are saying we shall not vote for her botched deal on tuesday, and when that deal does not go ahead we want to call immediately for a general election and if that is not delivered, then we will call for a people's vote. there are many in your party who think that call for a general election is not going to happen, but nevertheless we have not heard from jeremy corbyn nor the main leadership figures in the party backing for another referendum. do you think you can change their mind and get them onboard this?|j you think you can change their mind and get them onboard this? i think what was agreed at conference is exactly what jeremy corbyn has been saying, which is we will not go for a deal that does not meet our test. and that does not happen we will call for a general election and feeling that a second referendum. at the end of the day theresa may's party is utterly divided. she's not going to get this deal through

parliament, and a labour will be on hand to hold her to account every step of the way including myself on tuesday. what would you say to labour voters and constituencies all across england, scotland, wales, northern ireland who backed brexit and are now worried about the direction the path as potentially taking? my own brexit bull i held direction the path as potentially taking? my own brexit bulli held in tooting, over 2700 people filled in this poll and over 90% of them want a people's vote. at the end of the day, people were given straight yes or no opportunity on a piece of paper. that was raised on a campaign full of lies. we now have the truth in front of us. we have the government's on economic analysis, the attorney general's advice. we know for hard—working people up and down the country this deal is a disaster. some people who vote for labour still support brexit. are you not alienating them?|j labour still support brexit. are you not alienating them? i am saying let's take it back to the people and they are more than welcome to vote how they want to, but knowing the full facts of the deal.

we are saying the people should have a say on the final deal but at the end of the day it is going to be up all go on tuesday. we have theresa may and her botched deal, her 585 pages of utter rubbish and we are not going to be supporting it. the things i have noticed quite a lot speaking to various people who support this campaign in problem is they're not sure they would win. how likely do you think another referendum would be to throw up a different result? we will have to see. at the end of the day it is not about winning or losing another referendum. it is about saying let's ta ke referendum. it is about saying let's take this deal back to the people. asi take this deal back to the people. as i was saying, some in the labour party who backed this position before i made up out of a job. are you the same news? today was the day for me to come out as an nhs doctor, proud labour mp was held a poll locally asked local residents how they feel. over 90% of them have said that they want a people's vote and i'm here today to support people of tooting that i represent. thank

you very much. that campaign by another referendum will continue ahead of the vote on tuesday, but it is after potentially the prime minister's deal is rejected by parliament that it could gain more momentum. the reporting from the people's vote rally held in london this afternoon. police in new zealand —— investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane —— says they've found a body on the outskirts of auckland. they believe it is that of the 22—year—old from essex but so far there's been no formal identification. a 26—year—old man has been charged with her murder. you will appear in court tomorrow. —— he will appear. well, the independent‘s travel editor is simon calder, and a little earlier i discussed with him the risks associated with travelling abroad — especially for backpackers and those holidaying alone. if you look at the statistics, though, being a traveller from britain abroad has never actually been safer. there are, very sadly, about 600 fatalities involving british holiday—makers, british travellers every year, but the vast majority are from road accidents,

by far the leading cause, and also accidents in water. and older people as well, presumably. whereas in the case of grace, we're talking about youngsters. yes. so the range of situations can be quite wide? quite. particularly in somewhere like new zealand, which has a great deal to offer anybody who's on a gap year, has very, very low crime rates. the road accident rate is more than twice as bad as it is in britain, but that's the kind of biggest threat. you need to take care in water, of course. but for something like this to happen in a place like that is extremely rare and, therefore, i would urge people who have got young people travelling around the world, the overwhelming odds are that they're going to have a fantastic time and come back with nothing but great stories to tell. and what's striking about grace's story as well, it kind of adds to the poignancy of her life ending in such a terrible way, is that she had spent time travelling around a much more dangerous part of the world

in a small group of friends without any incident. yes. it's a reminder that if you take sensible precautions, most of the time you are going to be fine. yes, there is this notion, understandably, that there's safety in numbers and certainly being a female alone, you are more vulnerable. again, it doesn't necessarily mean that travelling solo is a bad idea because if you're staying at a hostel, as grace was in auckland, then you automatically get to meet other travellers, you can team up with them and travel with them. that works out really well for a lot of people. there are a lot of technological solutions. for example, the lucy blackman trust, which was set up after the terrible death of a young british woman in 2000 injapan, says what you need to do is keep a log of all the people you meet, their contact details and every week email that to your folks and your friends, together with your plans for the following week, and in new zealand specifically all the telecom companies

have a system where you can just text your details, where you're going, what your plans are to a central database. then if necessary that can be investigated. the travel editor for the independent. time for a look at the weather with susan powell. hello. sunday did bring a few sharp showers, but did also bring a lot of sunshine. and hopefully you got out and were able to enjoy a little bit of that great afternoon at hayling island in hampshire, because sunshine will become perhaps increasingly in short supply as we move further into our week ahead. on a positive note, the winds will be lighter for the first couple of days, it'll be a largely dry picture too. from the midweek onwards, however, there is a lot of uncertainty in our forecast and i will explain a little bit more about that in just a moment. right here, right now, it is a fairly quiet story to take us through the rest of today

and on into monday. some showers through this evening for northern ireland, wales, maybe parts of the midlands and the northwest of england. a few continuing across the mountains of scotland, a little on the wintry side as well. elsewhere though, clear skies, light winds, temperatures set to fall away, certainly across scotland and northern england, perhaps parts of east anglia. we are talking about a fairly widespread frost. a little milder to the south and west, lows of five or 6 degrees perhaps. so, monday starts on the hole with a lot of fine weather and a lot of sunshine. but towards the west, an area of low pressure is trying to fringe in and through the day what that will do is bring high cloud initially into the west and then that cloud will thicken, could get some drizzle for northern ireland come the afternoon for western scotland, perhaps wales and the southwest of england. eastern counties always getting the best of the brightness, but here are a high ofjust five, for example in new castle, four in aberdeen and that gives you some idea of what is going on across the uk. fine in the east under the influence of high pressure, but cold air getting pulled around that high, the confident

that high, from the continent in the west, low—pressure trying to squeeze in bringing in milder air but of course if they do manage to come in they will also try to bring in their fronts and spells of wetter and windier weather and it is that battle that we're up against in terms of trying to get the forecast right through the week ahead. tuesday it still looks like it'll be the high that is blocking anything coming in from the atlantic and keeping us on the whole drive. —— dry. locking in perhaps a bit of cloud for central and eastern areas, and keeping the temperatures down a little with that continental feet of air, eyes adjust to single figures, particularly —— of air, highs ofjust to single figures, particularly across eastern counties. milder there towards the southwest. as for the outlook at the moment, it looks like high pressure may well be the favoured scenario, but certainly thursday and friday is all to play for, so do stay tuned. no delay to the vote — downing street insists tuesday's crucial commons vote will go ahead and the prime minster warns of ‘uncharted waters' if her deal is rejected. the brexit secretary urges mps to back the plan. going ahead and that is because it is a good deal, it is the only deal and it is important that we don't

let the perfect be the enemy of the good. but leading brexiteer boris johnson insists the uk can negotiate a better settlement with the eu. we have to change it. it is a relatively simple job to do. we can handle the withdrawal agreement that does not contain the backstop. we can do much much better than this. police in new zealand investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane say they have found a body. more than seventeen hundred arrests in france after another weekend of violent protests — police use tear gas and rubber bullets on the streets of paris — and the french prime minister calls for unity. the us, russia, and others criticise an ipcc study into the impact of a 1.5—degree rise in global temperatures — as the un climate change conference continues. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre,

here's katherine downes. a group of men in the home end hurled abuse at sterling as he went to collect the ball for a corner. no arrests have been made. chelsea say they will take the strongest possible action where necessary. sterling has responded via his instagram account, he says "you can see from my reaction that ijust had to laugh because i didn't expect any better" but he then accused some media coverage of "fuelling racism and aggressive behaviour". he gave two examples of similar stories in the last year about two of his teamates,

tosin adara—biyo and phil foden, who have both bought houses for their mothers. sterling wrote "look at how the newspapers get their message across, one for a young black player then for a young white player. this young black kid is looked at in a bad light, for all the newspapers that don't understand why people are racist in this day and age... have a second thought about fair publicity". fomrer premier league player karl henry, who's still playing at bradford, agrees with sterling that sections of the media are making the problem worse. he's absolutely got a point and the newspaper in question i think needs to look at itself and those articles because to compare two young players one is black the other white, and have done things that mothers and one is almost demonised and the other one is lauded. so i think there is a d—link, i'm certainly seeing the comments under his and it

certainly shows there is a huge amount of support there and certainly if you of institutional racism. —— if feeling off. newcastle are hosting wolves in the premier league. wolves took the lead at st james' park. diogojota after sixteen minutes with the goal. but they weren't ahead for long, ayoze perez headed the equaliser six minutes later. deandre yedlin has been sent off for the home side. there's around fifteen minutes to go. rangers missed the chance to go level on points with celtic at the top of the scottish premiership. they were held to a one all draw by dundee. nick parrott has the story. taking on bottom of the table, it looks like the perfect opportunity for them to bounce back from defeat to aberdeen. after a poor start to the season, things are looking better. dandy their charitable mood the 90 minute.

they have three spells, he scored for them against them back in april will stop not the role is reversed, he remained calm but the other couldn't. he's already for this and rangers feasted their opportunity. with this first goal for more than does make year. they did not win after he was wronglyjudged offside, but in the second half they can only muster one shot on target and dundee came close to an even bigger upset, leaving him plenty to the crucial europa league tie on thursday. so celtic are top of the scottish premiership after they beat kilmarnock yesterday. rangers and kilmarnock are second — with rangers ahead on goal difference. in the women's super league, manchester city beat birmingam city 1—0 to move level on points with arsenal at the top of the table the only goal of the game came in unfortunate circumstances for the birmingham goalkeeper hannah hampton. she missed her kick allowing

downing street says mps will vote on theresa may's brexit agreement on tuesday — as borisjohnson insists the uk can negotiate a better deal. a body is found by police investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane in new zealand. france's prime minister calls for unity as 17—hundred people are arrested in a fourth weekend of violent protests. well a little earlier james randerson, news editor at politico europe and john rentoul, chief political commentatorfor the independent joined me to discuss what could happen this week in the latest stage of the brexit process. the reason tuesday is such an important vote is because this is

the so—called meaningful vote that theresa may promised parliament it would have right at the very early stage of brexit negotiations. she said, parliament will get the chance to say yes or no to whatever deal and make from brussels and put it into law that her deal can not take effect unless parliament says yes and we do not know what will happen on tuesday, all sorts of things could happen, but one thing that is almost certainly not going to happen as parliament is not going to say yes to her deal. not say yes on this occasion and that matters to this. because you have a flexible constitution in this country. it is not an unwritten constitution, but it is a flexible constitution that operates by precedent largely. and there's nothing in the constitution that the prime ministerjust can't have another go. if she doesn't get them to vote yes for it this time, that doesn't mean the deal falls, it does mean that she falls, it doesn't mean there's a general election, doesn't mean any of those things.

as long as her party will proper up and as long as will prop her up and as long as she commands a majority in the house of commons, she can come back and ask it to vote again once she has tried to eliminate all of the other options such as renegotiation, no deal and the referendum. and at that point, let me bring injames who is in brussels now because then the action as it were, james, would head back to your city. to the heads of government meeting in brussels as it happens at the end of this week for the scheduled regular summit and we have heard that there is an alternative to this deal. is that really what people think privately across brussels of the house of commons were devoted down, with the city were to vote it down, with the city theresa may, sorry, that's the only show in town? well, yes. all they had to do is try a little bit harder and come up with a better deal that does not have that awkward backstop

in it and frankly, that feels quite a long way from the reality on the on this side of the channel. in brussels, diplomats said was consistently that this is pretty much the best deal that is possible and there really isn't much movement. particularly on the backstop, no question of getting some sort of exercise from the deal. some sort of excise it from the deal. one diplomat joked was that perhaps it might be possible to change the performance of the document, which gives you a sense of the kind of change that might be doable here. obviously that sort of thing is not going to move the dial on its own very much in the uk. you mentioned boris johnson, he has seized on the remarks that were made in an interview yesterday. in which he said i know this is is not prevailing opinion in brussels that the, this will on both sides, ido hope there is still room in my political life, i did everything possible to get an agreement

when there was a big problem on the table and i suppose that the hope that people have that if the vote goes against theresa may, brussels would see the problem and because they want to deal probably as much if not more than we do, they would come up with something. they would certainly be prepared to keep talking but i think the keeping of what you just said is they want a deal as much, if not the key thing of what you just said is they want a deal as much, if not more. a no deal scenario is bad for both sides, but it is much worse for the uk and i think they've caught onto that very early they know that britain really does not want a new deal scenario either and i think it was particularly from brexiteers, there was a degree of misreading of the eu side right from the start. i think they did not really appreciate the power dynamic that this negotiation had. the fact that it was very much

on the brussels end of things, and they also thought that there would be political pressure eu capitals to keep the uk that would give it a cushy deal for frictionless trade. and we talk to lawmakers and french campaigners and so on and it was not the case that they came out in favour of a cushy deal for the uk, in fact the opposite. the company i was talking to, that had of the premier industry association in germany, they put a lot of effort into trying to understand and prepare for brexit. they put together this task force of 250 people to try and work on it and they came to the conclusion that the vast majority of their value comes from the integrity of the single market. and so far from putting pressure on angela merkle to say,

come on, let's give them an easy deals they can sell the market. they said they wanted political priority to be protecting the integrity of the single market and you have seen that negotiations. let's kind of assume that the boat goes down and theresa may is defeated on tuesday. now, how keen do you think some of her backbenches who voted no on that occasion might then be to be persuaded to, at the very least, or abstain the next time around and extensions would help. extensions would help, but the thing about mps, when you know how mps behave, they do not like abstaining on really big important issues. they were sent to westminster to represent their constituents and they think it's their duty to vote and decide difficult questions. so they do not like abstaining. that is one sort of escape proof, cutout i think.

but i think the really difficult thing is that theresa may has failed to do is sell the backstop. people simply do not understand the backstop and they think, which it is, it is an arrangement to keep the irish border open, but it is an arrangement that we cannot as a sovereign nation unilaterally, get out of without permission of the eu. and that is fairly unprecedented in international treaties. but instead of focusing on that aspect, mps ought to be, in my opinion, focusing on what the backstop is for. and the point of the backstop is to keep the irish border open. if they are in favour of closing the irish border or having a hard border or having controls and checks on the irish border, they should say so. because surely keeping the irish border, keeping it open is something they should want. as you say, she hasn't so far, that is the challenge for as you say, she hasn't so far, done that.

that is the challenge for speech. the problem is there are too many hard brexit conservative mps who don't really care about the irish border. they say, oh well, we can deal with a hard border. no one would notice. but her problem is she can't persuade labour mps to support that, she needs labour votes to get this through and so far she has made no headway in persuading them to back this. i want to pick up on that, but let's just stay with what such a mentioned labour, this is a very unusual situation where prime minister could find her prospects dependant on the opposition party when her own party deserted her. it has happened before, but it's pretty unusual. on the big votes it happens quite often. the iraq vote, the burden backbench deserted him on that, but he was covered because he had support from the conservatives. and we went into europe and the first place in the 19705, the party split then

and he took us in but he took a similar labour votes. something like that is when that happened this time and what's quite surprising is how little effort theresa may is made to persuade labour mps to vote on her deal. be surprised that she spent time trying to the public rather than being at westminster, i'm sure just making calls i'm sure she's been making calls and seeing people privately, but she did spend a number of days on this tour of the uk. the tour was a bit nominal, we've all got a couple of places doing a tv interview, but no, she is trying to mobilise public opinion because public opinion is more favourable to her deal then the opinion of the house of commons that is certainly true and that is how she has put pressure on mps to vote for her. and it is also an insurance policy in case she is forced to hold a referendum because she's had a dry run for the referendum campaign. james, let me come back to you in brussels, the think we sometimes

forget when we talk about this in a very heated way, the whole process of getting to theresa may's withdrawal agreement weather goes to ride tuesday if that is only stage one and stage two is negotiation, what is our relationship once we leave the eu and go to the transition? beyond 2020. when you compare what you seen over the past couple of years, do you think the british are ready for this process and how detailed and intense it could be carving out a trade deal? well, one thing to say is that britain has handed its trade negotiations to brussels in recent decades because of being part of the european union, so they have been trying to catch up and relearn a lot of things about trade deals in the meantime. the difficulty about the next bit of the negotiation is that,

i think britain still has not really worked out what it wants and its future relationship and i think we're seeing that at the moment and we're seeing that at the moment and we're also seeing that political declaration allows for also the outcomes to be possible but is one of the reasons why some mps do not like him because it does not give a certainty about what that brexit bill is going to be paying for. and there is an awful lot still with to be worked out, but this part of the deal only had to be ratified by the european parliament and the british parliament and get the agreement of the 27 l. the next part of the negotiations will be by the 40 or more around europe, and we saw from

the canada trade deal. some very unusual teeple who we have not heard from in this process at all may be able to make their feelings felt. will be grateful to hear from some of our audience there about that because that delayed the canada trade deal and cost a last—minute panic and it underlined how one small part of the eu could actually still trip up this process. james is absolutely right. but none of that has been decided in a definitive way. the declaration does narrow some of the options and sets some objectives. there's awful lot of negotiation to come. for the debate

on brexit. and it looked at the weather. so they did bring a few sharp showers but not a lot of sunshine, and hopefully you're able to enjoy a little bit of that, a great afternoon because sunshine will become increasingly in short supply as he moved further into our week ahead, ona as he moved further into our week ahead, on a positive note, the winds will be lighter for the first couple of days, a dry picture as well. on the week onwards, there's a lot of uncertainty and i'll explain a little bit more about that in just a moment. right here and right now, it isa moment. right here and right now, it is a fairly quiet story that pic the rest of the day and into monday. some showers to the evening for wales, many parts of the midlands, across the mountains of scotland. elsewhere, clear skies light winds and temperatures set to fall away, so for northern england and parts of east anglia, we are talking about a

fairly widespread frost a milder and to the south and west five or 6 degrees perhaps. monday starts on the hole with a fine weather and a lot of sunshine, but towards the west, an area of low pressure is trying to and later in the day it will bring high cloud in the west and it will thicken, some drizzle for northern ireland on the afternoon for the west of scotland and wales in the southwest of england. eastern counties again the better brightness, but in new castle, that gives you some idea of what is going on across the uk. high pressure and cold air being pulled around a hive to the continent in the west low pressure, trying to squeeze in and bring milder air and if they do manage to, they'll also bring in that spell of weather and windy weather and it is that battle that we're up against and try to get the forecast right through the week ahead. tuesday still looks like it'll be the high, blocking out

coming in from the atlantic in keeping this in the atlantic in keeping this in the atlantic in keeping this in the atlantic in keeping this from a whole, eastern areas and temperatures down a little bit with that need to bear,— to single figures, particularly across towards the southwest. as for the outlook at the moment, the fact high pressure will be the favourite scenario on thursday and friday, do stay tuned. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at six. downing street says there'll be no delay of tuesday's crucial commons vote, on the government's plans for leaving the european union. in london, thousands attend rival rallies two days before the mps vote — as one leading brexiteer says a better deal with the eu can still be negotiated. we have to change it, it's a relatively simple job to do, we can have a withdrawal agreement that does not contain the backstop. we can do much, much better than this.
