squads different squads against some of the top nations in the world, coming second in the quad series was probably our best ever result back in september so that wasn't a step backward for us. the jamaica series was disappointing, but it was a useful side to gain that experience before the world cup. so all hugely important stepping stones. i think we are getting down to is the business end, we have a strong squad, we are going out to win this one. all the very best to you, well done getting back into the squad after your knee injury. thanks for joining us. we will have more for you throughout the rest of the evening and bbc news. goodbye for now. you're watching bbc news. we have a live event this evening in the next

few seconds, it could well be, a big vote in the commons, on a cross— party vote in the commons, on a cross—party amendment tabled by the former labour minister yvette cooper and backed by the likes of the conservative former minister nicky morgan. it is aimed at restricting oui’ morgan. it is aimed at restricting our limiting the government's options over a no—deal brexit. it's an amendment to the finance bill. you can see the chamber there filling up as they prepare to vote on this amendment. and it does have a lot of tory backing. in fact, nicky morgan made it clear today she believed that history, or rather, amber rudd, the work and pensions secretary, made it clear in the cabinet meeting that history would ta ke cabinet meeting that history would take a cabinet meeting that history would takea dim cabinet meeting that history would take a dim view of the government if it allowed the uk to leave the european union with no deal on the 29th of march. we expect that vote in the next few minutes or so. as i say, it would restrict the government's movement, as it were, in trying to allow a no—deal brexit,

if theresa may's proposals are voted down next week, which is what many people believe will happen. vicki young is in the commons now. if this amendment likely to go through? it seems possible because there is a certain amount of conservative backing. the interesting thing is not necessarily the technical detail, it will mean the technical detail, it will mean the government is limited in some tax powers, nothing like not being able to raise income tax, but tweaking of amendments, changing references, you might not be able to do it. but it is significant because these numbers will show you the people who are trying to stop a no deal scenario. that is accommodation of labourmps, deal scenario. that is accommodation of labour mps, the snp, the lib dems, plaid cymru, the greens, and a certain number of conservatives. the

crucial thing is, how many conservatives will there be who are prepared to vote against their government in this scenario? it is a way, really, showing the strength of feeling in the house as to how many conservatives are prepared to vote against their own government to stop what they would see as a damaging no deal scenario. you had hired onto that come there will be ministers who at this point will not be voting against their government but many of them would do so if it came to a very, very important crunch vote on ano very, very important crunch vote on a no deal scenario. that's what this one is all about. it's really about showing the strength of feeling that there is in parliament to stop a no deal scenario. there are hundreds of mps who have said they cannot and will not accept that. the other side of the argument from the brexiteers is, look, if we turn down theresa may's deal next week, it means that we automatically go to a no deal scenario because that's what the law

says, the clock is ticking, article 50 was triggered, two years from that date, the 29th of march, the uk will leave and it will leave without a deal unless parliament can do something to stop it. what many of them are convinced about is that they can use legislation, sometimes pieces of legislation which have nothing to do with brexit, this finance bill is all about putting the budget into law but they can use it and other bills coming up like the trade bill, which is more pertinent to brexit, to try and tie the government's had to stop it heading towards a no deal scenario. as opposed to bottom line is that the government has not ruled out leaving the european union without a deal, and in fact we saw yesterday that they are prepping for the possibility. long tailbacks from the dover border and so on and so forth. they are making contingency plans. this is the kind of thing that worries those people in the commons who don't want to see no deal.

worries those people in the commons who don't want to see no deallj think there are some who could have lived with a no deal scenario if the planning had been started two years ago. i think there is barely government probably a few dozen mps in there who think they're genuinely the uk is ready in three months' time without a deal. i don't think the overwhelming feeling is that it would be a smooth occasion. interestingly, it's a cross—party move, yvette cooper, nicky morgan, working together, cross—party, there have been also other cross—party moves, meeting with the prime minister to say to her, you need to rule out a no deal scenario. theresa may's argument back then was that there was one sure way to stop a no deal scenario, that is to deal. her appeal to notjust conservatives but labour mps is to say to that you can't stop —— that you can stop it

if you back theresa may's deal. now, the tellers are coming back in. order, order! the ayes to the right, 303. the noes to the left, 296. so, a sound defeat. those numbers, are they suppressing? yes, i think given talking to those conservatives who... the ayes have it, the ayes have it. unlock! we come now to amendment eight. does the honourable gentleman for nottingham east wish to move? ok, vicky... it shows the difficulty that theresa may has when

it comes to legislation, because she doesn't have a working majority. of course, doing that arrangement with the dup meant she's supposed to have a brexit majority, that she could get her legislation through, she could get brexit through, but there is enough conservative mps willing to go against their own government, that disappears. we had an emotional speech earlier from oliver letwin, former conservative cabinet minister, saying he was prepared about his own government forjust the second time in decades of being an mp. that is how strongly mps are feeling, some of them. and also there will be conservative ministers who today will not be leaving their jobs and voting against the government but if it came to the crunch they would be willing to do so. crunch they would be willing to do so. i think that is the problem for the prime minister. she could try and turn this around and say to the brexiteers, look, you're jeopardising brexit happening at all because there isn't a majority for a

no—deal brexit in the house of commons. so to look on the bright side, that is the only bright side we can see. so to be clear, does this definitively ruled out a new deal brexit? know, doesn't. isjust a skirmish, i think you could say. ifa a skirmish, i think you could say. if a today danny lee were saying that it isn't catastrophic. —— downing street. this is about parliament trying to say to the government, we can control this process if it comes to it. i think that's the point about tonight. i will say, those on the side who are trying to go against a no—deal brexit, this shows they have the numbers to stop the government going down that path. that will be argued against by the brexiteers to say

that in law it's not the case, but it shows it —— how difficult it would be for a government to get this through if it goes down a path that the majority of mps do not want. our system relies on being able to get its foot —— stuff through parliament and the government is struggling to do that. many thanks for that. so, the government's rule to manoeuvre has been curtailed as a result of that amendment put forward by former labour minister yvette cooper. much more coming up. you're watching bbc news. lots. i was fortunate with my category but elvis, 20th century. no jimi hendrix, no beatles. no michael jackson. no stan and ollie. chaplin is on there, which is great. peter sellers, baboons, the pythons. no
