as mp5 resume their debate before a vote next tuesday. she says the only way to avoid a no—deal brexit is to vote for her deal — but angry opponents tell her she's wasting her time. the prime minister has been recklessly wasting time holding the country to ransom with the threat of no deal in a desperate attempt to blackmail mps to vote for her hopelessly unpopular deal. the right honourable gentleman can say what he likes about no deal, but he opposes any deal that the government has negotiated with the european union. he opposes the deal... shouting. he opposes the deal that the eu say is the only deal, and that leaves him with no deal. as mps resume their debate on the prime minister's brexit deal, i'll be getting the latest here in westminster and at stormont. and the other main stories this lunchtime. police are treating the fatal stabbing of a 14—year—old boy who was knocked off a moped in east london as a targeted attack — he's been named locally as jayden moody. president trump makes a tv address

to the nation on what he calls the border crisis with mexico. a ban on nuisance calls about pensions starts today to help tackle fraudsters trying to trick people out of their savings. look at me! look at me! how dare you! close your eyes! and the favourite‘s the favourite. the comedy starring olivia colman gains a whopping 12 nominations for this year's bafta awards. and coming up in the sport later in the hour on bbc news. the wait goes on for tottenham to move into their new stadium. their first game there won't be until march at the earliest. good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one.

theresa may has begun a fresh push to convince mps to back her brexit deal, as they begin five days of debate here at westminster. she cancelled a vote on her plans last month — after admitting she was likely to face a heavy defeat. at prime minister's questions opposition parties accused theresa may of having nothing new to offer. in the words ofjeremy corbyn "not one single dot or comma has changed". the prime minister is hoping new proposals on northern ireland will be enough to persuade mps to change their mind. but the dup have already said they're not enough — and now she faces another hurdle — with some of her own backbenchers — effectively trying to force her to act within days if she loses the vote next week. our political correspondent ben wright reports. can you win over parliament, prime minister? the prime minister tucked

defeat by pulling the vote. parliament will now restart the debate on her brexit deal with no sign opposition has softened. but her cabinet is trying to sound confident. i'm looking forward to it, ithink confident. i'm looking forward to it, i think the prime minister's deal is a good deal. the only alternatives are no brexit which would not deliver on what the british people voted for, or no deal which would cause economic damage. it's because this deal delivers four bit and i'm confident it will pass. but the numbers in the commons currently stacked against the deal. i hope colleagues prevaricating will think carefully about the alternatives. remember, the government has no majority in the commons. dozens of pro leave and pray remain conservative mps look almost certain to fight with opposition parties next week to defeat the prime minister's deal. opposition parties next week to defeat the prime minister's deallj think this is a humiliating deal and i will not be able to support it as it stands. the government says it will provide mps with fresh

reassu ra nces over will provide mps with fresh reassurances over the coming days, particularly on the so—called backstop for northern ireland. the stormont assembly is currently suspended and could have a veto over any new eu regulations after brexit, any new eu regulations after brexit, an idea already rubbished by dup. jeremy corbyn accuse the prime minister of recklessly wasting time. the prime minister has spent the last week begging for warm words from eu leaders and achieved nothing. not one single dot or comma has changed. it defeated, will the prime minister did the right thing and call a general election? no, said theresa may, who again refused to rule out a no—deal brexit. said theresa may, who again refused to rule out a no-deal brexit. with an opposition front bench that is opposed to any deal that the government negotiates with the european union, it's even more important that we prepare for no

deal. the deal protectsjobs and security and delivers on the referendum and he should back it. there is now an almighty struggle under way between the government and parliament. yesterday, 20 tory backbenchers joined forces with labour to show their opposition to a no deal breaks it. today, a cross— party no deal breaks it. today, a cross—party group of mps are backing a move that would force the prime minister to put forward a new plan in front of parliament within three days. if she loses her big break next week. it's the start, i think, ofan next week. it's the start, i think, of an essential dialogue between government and parliament to triumph find a way out of the difficulties we are facing. clearly, it only comes in if the government loses its motion next week, but it looks to me as if the government is going to have considerable difficulty. the government hopes the prospect of a no—deal brexit will focus minds, but if the deal is defeated a no—confidence vote, an election, another referendum could all come into play. 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is in parliament's central lobby. what has changed? what is changing

now it's potentially a pivotal amendment in the whole brexit process. there are furious scenes going on in the chamber at the moment, with tory brexiteers voraciously criticising and challenging the speaker for allowing an amendment that will be voted on in the next 15 minutes, which if passed could be a game changer in the whole brexit process. it could threaten mrs may's strategy, because it would mean if mrs may loses her deal next tuesday, which many expect, she would have to come back to parliament within three days with a plan b, with an alternative strategy. in other words, a plan b, with an alternative strategy. in otherwords, by a plan b, with an alternative strategy. in other words, by the end of next week she would have to have a new strategy. she couldn't play for time, she couldn't drift towards no deal, she couldn't flip back and forwards to brussels. she would have to put on the table a clear plan b.

secondly, mps would be able to amend that plan and put their own alternatives on the table. maybe a second referendum, may be measures to rule out no deal, may be measures to rule out no deal, may be measures to adopt the norway model. it would open up the entire range of brexit options after mrs may has always insisted her deal is the only deal. it would be seen as parliament in effect trying to seize back control of the brexit process. the vote will be close, because the same cross— party be close, because the same cross—party alliance of mps who defeated mrs may last night are the ones behind this fate too. it's going to be extraordinarily close —— are behind this vote two. buckling, this is going to get very bumpy. thank you. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, is at stormont. of course, the issue of the irish border is crucial. it is all about

the border and the backstop. this morning the prime minister published what she described as reassurances, proposals she hoped would win over the dup. but the dup dashed those hopes pretty quickly. in essence, what the government was saying is if the backstop kicks in vendee stormont assembly would have to agree any changes to eu trade rules which would govern how the backstop would work. one major problem, the stormont assembly doesn't exist at the moment, it's two years to the day since the late martin mcguinness resigned as deputy first minister in effect bringing to an end the power—sharing devolved government that sinn fein had been in with the dup. the disagreements between those two parties have gone on, they don't agree very much but they do agree these new government proposals aren't acceptable but for different reasons. the dup say they don't go far enough, aren't legally binding and don't provide the assurances they want, that you need is an‘s

position won't be undermined within the uk. sinn fein take the opposite argument to arrive at the same thing, they say the proposals would give the dup a veto over the backstop and a backstop which can be vetoed isn't a backstop at all. as regards the bottom line on these proposals, in orderfor it regards the bottom line on these proposals, in order for it to regards the bottom line on these proposals, in orderfor it to be in place at all the stormont assembly will have to be restored. the general view here but the current impasse over brexit makes any restoration of devolution even more unlikely. thank you. so, as mps begin another five days of debate, what will they be weighing up — and what is at stake? 0ur reality check correspondent chris morris has this assessment. so, in downing street, they're trying to figure out the numbers in the house of commons, to work out whether they have any hope of getting this vote passed. but don't forget, amidst all the political drama, it's the documents that have been negotiated behind closed doors that are at the heart of the debate. so, we've come into the cabinet room for a reminder of what mps are talking about, and eventually voting on, with the credibility of the prime minister and her brexit

plan very much at stake. first of all, the withdrawal agreement itself. this is the legally binding document that would take the uk out of the eu. it includes the financial settlement, or divorce bill, that the uk will pay — an estimated £39 billion. it also sets out basic rights for uk citizens elsewhere in the eu and eu citizens here in the uk and the terms of a transition period, at least 2! months, after brexit, when all the rules would stay the same. but most controversial of all, there's the protocol on ireland and northern ireland, including the backstop plan for keeping the irish border as open as it is now under all circumstances. now, the backstop would only come into effect at the end of a post—brexit transition period if a future trade agreement to avoid a hard border hasn't been achieved. the prime minister has been given additional reassurances from the eu that the backstop would only ever be

temporary and that no—one actually wants it to come into effect. but it still exists in the treaty and there is no unilateral way for the uk to get out of it without the eu's agreement. there is also a non—binding political declaration on the future relationship between the uk and the eu. and the wording here is so vague that it doesn't offer any guarantee of any particular outcome. so, the government's facing an uphill battle to get this vote passed, and it will probably have to ask mps to vote more than once, maybe after getting even more reassurance from brussels. and after that, well, if the vote goes through, the withdrawal agreement then needs to be turned into uk law through new legislation. it also needs to be given the green light by the european parliament. and if all that happens in time, the uk will leave the eu on 29th march. but if the government is defeated, well, the default position is that the uk would still leave, but with no deal. 0r mps could try to come up with an alternative plan for leaving, a relationship more

like norway's, for example, which is still in the single market. or we might be looking at a new prime minister, a new election, or even another referendum — which could mean no brexit at all. the truth is, no—one can say for sure what is likely to happen over the next three months. this street has seen its fair share of drama in the past. but nothing quite like this. in the words of our assistant political editor, everyone at westminster is buckling up for a very bumpy ride. detectives say a 14—year—old boy who was stabbed to death in east london last night was the victim of a targeted attack. he's been named locally as jayden moody. 0fficers believe a car knocked the boy off a moped in waltham forest, before a group of men got out and killed him. they say the attack "beggars belief". ashley—john baptiste reports. the latest victim of a stabbing in

the capital, a 14—year—old boy likely named as jayden moody, stabbed to death after being knocked off his mopeds. he died at the scene after being found by officers in the early evening yesterday. the metropolitan police say they are looking for a black mercedes b class with extensive frontal damage after three men got out of the car and stabbed a 14—year—old in waltham forest. they believe it was a targeted attack. in a statement, detective chief inspector larry smith from the metropolitan police said everything we have learned about this attack so far indicates it was targeted and intent on lethal force from the outset. we are doing everything we can to catch those who carried out this cowardly attack and bring them tojustice. carried out this cowardly attack and bring them to justice. the latest victim is one of the youngest people to die on london's streets in the last year. his parents were here

last year. his parents were here last night being comforted by police. it comes after killings in the capital reached their highest level for a decade in 2018. we tell oui’ level for a decade in 2018. we tell our kids to be safe. but we never know what happens, because it wasn't very late, it's the time that normally my sons are out, and it's scary. the kid was a good kid, man. the problem is, he's not one of those... you know those insane, crazy kids. you take the up kid. he'sa crazy kids. you take the up kid. he's a little kid, a little, little, kid, man. siddique khan tweeted to say... 132 people were killed in london

last year. the majority down to knife crime. the metropolitan police say they are committed to tackling those who are violent. the time is... our top story this lunchtime. the prime minister launches five days of debate in parliament, as she tries to convince mps to back her brexit deal. and still to come — tackling our throwaway economy by giving consumers a right to repairfaulty goods. coming up in the sport on bbc news in the next 15 minutes. with the australian open starting next week, the world number one will be short on practice — simona halep‘s first match in over three months ends in defeat. president trump has used a televised address from the oval office to demand congress pay for a wall along the mexican border. mr trump said the barrier was needed

to stop what he called a "growing humanitarian and security crisis". democrats accused him of holding americans hostage. they're refusing to fund the wall, in a dispute that's forced parts of the federal government to close. rajini vaidaya nathan reports from washington. my fellow americans, tonight i am speaking to you because there is a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. from his desk in the oval office, president trump delivered a rare prime—time address, making a passionate case for a wall. to every citizen, call congress and tell them to finally, after all of these decades, secure our border. this is a choice between right and wrong, justice and injustice. this is about whether we fulfil our sacred duty to be our sacred duty to the

american citizens we serve. his message was stark but not new. for years, donald trump has claimed that building a wall on the border with mexico would prevent drugs and people from being trafficked and reduce the threat of terror — claims many dispute. who's going to pay for the wall? cheering. who? crowd: mexico! mexico won't pay for it, which is why the president is now asking congress to. but democrats won't agree to the $5 billion price tag as part of budget negotiations. the deadlock has seen the us government partially shut down for more than a fortnight, leaving some 800,000 workers without a pay cheque. as this drags on, the democrats say they are not to blame. the fact is, president trump has chosen to hold hostage critical services for the health, safety and well— being of the american people, and withhold the paycheques of 800,000 innocent workers across the nation. the symbol of america should be the statue of liberty, not a 30ft wall.

later this week, president trump will take his case for a wall from the oval office to the border with mexico. but while he's working on getting support for his plan, hundreds of thousands of workers aren't getting paid, in a government shutdown that shows no sign of ending soon. rajini vaidayanathan, bbc news. let's speak to our correspondent aleem maqbool in washington. the president didn't declare a national emergency as some had predicted, but there were no compromises to help end the shutdown? no, and we are in day 19 now of this shutdown, where all of these government workers are not being paid. and we could have had the declaration of a national emergency, thatis declaration of a national emergency, that is at the discretion of the president, and that would have meant he could do what he wanted. at the other end of the scale, he could

have said, the two parties have set themselves that they could come up with a budget which would deal with all of the other government offices, so all of the other government offices, so they could get them working and we could still build a wall. instead, we had more of the same, which is as democrats would seek it, more fear mongering about what is happening at the southern border, that there is a crisis there when actually the numbers of illegal immigrants coming across the border is lower than a few years ago. and we heard nothing about bringing an end to this crisis, which is affecting now hundreds of thousands of families and government workers, including those who worked as border patrol agents, those who work in airport security, who are not getting paid. there are fears that if this keeps on going, then actually, national security, the thing which donald trump keeps

talking about, is the thing which could be badly affected. the conservative mp craig mackinlay has been cleared of falsifying his expenses during the 2015 election, when he defeated the then ukip leader nigel farage in south thanet. a party activist, marion little, who was on trial alongside mr mackinlay, was convicted of two counts of encouraging or assisting an offence. our correspondent richard lister is at southwark crown court. richard, what was said in court? well, reeta, back in 2015 at the general election, nigel farage looked to be within striking distance of winning south thanet for ukip, the conservatives were determined not to let that happen and under alternately their candidate craig mackinlay prevailed but it subsequently was revealed that his campaign had spent more than four times the £15,000 limit set for election expenses in those circumstances. many of those costs we re circumstances. many of those costs were incurred by the veteran party

worker marion little, if sent by tory central office to oversee his campaign. the court heard that many of her expenses and her team's expenses in terms of hotels, if travel and salaries, were never properly declared. throughout this campaign, craig mackinlay said that he had done nothing wrong, the expenses were really the preserve of marion little. the jury expenses were really the preserve of marion little. thejury agreed expenses were really the preserve of marion little. the jury agreed with him and acquitted him on the charges he faced and convicted her of two counts. thejudge he faced and convicted her of two counts. the judge said that under normal circumstances, there would be an immediate custodial sentence for marion little but due to the fact that her husband is terminally ill, he is suspending the sentence of nine months, that hasjust he is suspending the sentence of nine months, that has just happened in the last few minutes. there is still a question hanging over the validity of craig mackinlay‘s 2015 election victory, given that more money was spent them was legally allowed. but given the fact he more than doubled his election margin at the last election, that point

becomes moot and he goes back to parliament to fight as a brexiteer for his constituency. richard, many thanks. a ban comes into force today to try to deal with cold calling scams which can rob people of their pensions. any firm which phones people about pension savings without having specific permission could face a fine of up to half a million pounds. cold—calling has been used by fraudsters to try trick people out of their savings. our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz reports. hello? it's a scourge on pensioners and savers like graham, who is bombarded with calls from fraudsters. they carry on, even at a gathering in south london to equip pensioners to deal with scams. how many have you had today? i've been in the centre today for half an hour now, and i've had five of those calls already on my phone. and i've blocked them and they literally phoned me back a couple of minutes later, using a different phone number, and this goes on. and i get that about 10—12 times a day.

apparently it was a few thousand they took out... mary was tricked into paying out thousands of pounds from her bank account, so she's anxious about the calls. ijust put the phone down now, and i said, "i'm not interested," and ijust put the phone down. what you think of people like that? they're scum. helpers here say, yes, put the phone down if you suspect you're being conned — or turn the tables on the scammer. i encourage them to say, even before they give their name, to say, "well, who are you and why are you calling me? what is your organisation? " and ask those questions, because often, if you ask the question to the scammer, the scammer will soon put the phone down. the scale this has reached is frightening. the total number of cold calls, e—mails and texts running at nearly 11 million a year, typically people scammed out of £91,000 from their pensions.

against that, now, there will be a penalty of up to £500 million for people who flout the ban. the treasury ministerjohn glen wants victims to take the number if they can, and report the calls to the information commissioner — he promises to stay vigilant if the culprits change their methods. we're onto it, and we need to make sure that we stay head of this, sure that we stay ahead of this, and we're not saying this is the end of it, either. if there's a mutation in the scammers' activities, we'll be looking very carefully to take further action in the future. the government has been criticised for not serving up the cold calling ban sooner. but now, anyone calling without your permission about your pension savings is breaking the law. simon gompertz, bbc news, south london. ministers are backing new laws to make it easierfor consumers to have appliances fixed when they break down. they also want to force manufacturers to make their products last longer, to try to reduce the number of items

which are thrown out. roger harrabin reports. with a puff of smoke, the repair revolution is under way. at portsmouth in the south of england, volunteers have turned up on a saturday to help people repair things that have broken down. it's called a repair cafe and it's part of a growing global movement. one visitor has brought her daughter's heated hair rollers, that no longer get hot. they didn't work and she was going to chuck them away. i said to my mum that we were coming here today and my mum was like, "let's bring the rollers." yeah, we brought them and the man's fixed them, so it's great. but mending things isn't always easy. many components nowadays are glued together and can't be prised apart when they break down. often, spares are impossible to get and repair manuals nonexistent. we would argue that companies, it would be great if they could sell spare parts for longer,

if they could make things more durable, and also if they could have information for us to be able to easily go online and see how do i take this apart and how do i replace this bit? washing machines are just one of many appliances that often are not built to last. an analysis of junked washing machines at a recycling centre showed that more than 10% were less than five years old. this impacts on climate change because manufacturing replacement machines creates greenhouse gases. governments across europe have responded to the challenge from consumers by imposing new standards, which should mean that goods last longer and can be repaired more easily. i think these laws are definitely a step in the right direction and it's great that they've been improved. but there's a lot more they could do. there's a lot more they could do in terms of increasing the lifespan of products and also in making sure that spare parts are available

to everyone and notjust to professional repairers. some manufacturers are unhappy, though. they say some of the targets are unrealistic and may hinder innovation. roger harrabin, bbc news. days after her success at the golden globes, olivia colman has been nominated again, this time as best actress at this year's baftas for her role in the favourite. the comedy is leading the field with 12 nominations. also in the running are the freddie mercury biopic bohemian rhapsody, and a star is born, which have seven nominations each. lizo mzimba reports your majesty... i would like to enjoy the music now... the favourite lived up to its name. the period comedy drama was way out in front of it more nominations than any other movie. as well as best film, rachel weisz and emma stone for best supporting actress and olivia colman for best actress. did you? looked at

me! look at me! how dare you! the symbolism of the most nominated movie being one led by men but by three women is clear, after the me too campaign. it is about women holding the power, in the court of queen anne and i think that has chimed with people. the most nominated film isn't always the big winner on the night, though. a star is born is a remake of a remake of a remake of recognition for lady gaga and bradley cooper in multiple categories. also with seven
