barrel you're watching beyond 100 days. it took the prime minister two and a half years to negotiate her brexit agreement — now she'll have just three days to revise it if she loses next week's vote. in an unexpected, and highly controversial move, the speaker of the house called a vote on a motion that will now force the prime minister's hand. the government's second defeat in as many days tells you — if you didn't already know — that the british prime minsiter is not in control of the house of commons. president trump says today he never wanted to shut down the us government — which is odd given that last month he said he'd be proud to do so. this is not a fight i wanted, i didn't want this fight. we have to think about the people of this country. also on the programme:

the man who has steered the mueller inquiry, the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, says he will leave when the new attorney general is confirmed in hisjob. and sneaky sneakers. the australian prime minster comes clean over the photo that was doctored — well he had too. they had given him two left feet. hello, and welcome. i'm katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london. ever since june 2016, the entire brexit debate in the uk, has been defined by a government, trying to deliver on the will of the people — and a restive parliament that wants much greater say. today parliament wrestled back control. they voted to force the prime minister to come up with an alternative to her brexit plan in just three days — if the original is voted down next tuesday. now that might sound like common sense, given that time is so short. but the vote was controversial because it was the intervention of the speaker, the person who is elected by mp‘s to be an impartial moderator — and should be seen to be impartial — that was so decisive.

in a break with precedent, john bercow allowed a vote which forces the prime minister's hand — and will prevent her running down the clock to no—deal. there were fireworks. i have never known any occasion where any speaker has overruled a motion of the house of commons. just to finish, sir. you have said again and again you're a servant of this house, and we take you at your word. and i have heard you many times on points of order, when people have challenged you, say i cannot do x or y because i am bound by a motion of the house. you have done that multiple times, in my experience. so why are you overriding a motion of the house today? i find it unbelievable that people are putting such effort in trying to exclude the possibility

of the house expressing its opinion on how it wishes to handle matters. and i would suggest to some of my honourable friends, the ones that are getting somewhat overexcited, that perhaps they should don a yellow jacket and go outside. nikki da costa is former director of legislative affairs at no 10. and shejoins us now. what just happened today? the commons operates on a rule—based system would allow the management of assistance in a nice orderly way. what we saw was an immigrant down to a motion which specifically said that only in minister could bring forward any motion to amend any attempt to it. what the speaker did in extracting fluid was say, actually, you can go ahead and had

this motion. the thing that has been approved actually to the line of what has been agreed from legislation, that the government has 21 days. so in short, he's fast—track the process? what are the implications of that in going forward in terms of the brexit plans that mps might bring forward and where the speaker himself might steal the debate? we know that the vote that was going to happen next treaty was amendable anyway. mps have an opportunity to bring forward what they want to vote on anyway. this creates an additional opportunity, just a few days later, maybe on a few days later, maybe on makes the same options. in terms of what direction the speaker at the latest, there were a broad range of options put forward by mps. i don't think it will get any broader depending on what happens. as we

said in the beginning there, it did ta ke said in the beginning there, it did take the premise that to come up with the agreement. can she come up with the agreement. can she come up with any significant revisions to that agreement in the space of a few days at the ticket by parliament? as missing today, the brexit secretary has accepted an amendment. that basically sets out various situations in which parliament can be given more of a ball on what we call choosing to extend the implementation period, the period wherein this cause i relationship with the eu. these are largely parliamentary measures, rather than changing what has been agreed. cannulas went to us. can you explain to ours, to get as do they understand this parliamentary procedure, why are brexiteers so upset about what happened the day?|j

think more than brexiteers should be upset about this. but it does seem that brexiteers are more upset because they see this as an impartial move by the speaker?” think so. i think they are also considering what has brought with amendment. these mps are clearly no longer interested in the prime minister had been getting time to go back to the eu. they want to just cut through that and bring forward what they want to happen. why that is interesting is because this particular group are perceived to not want to deliver on brexit. the pleased such mechanism they were so activated about this is because it is up there, the clark advises the speaker said duke had the bits. that is what is suggested by most of the newspapers. one of the things that their mind is what the speaker is an mp3. usually, mps are very lacking in knowledge about parliamentary

procedure. so the clerks are built to provide the expertise. irrespective of what you say, i'm on the go ahead and do this, when you say that, that's really changing the role of the speaker from someone who is there to adjudicate as someone who makes it very personal and survival. george freeman in a conservative mp who voted against the governement both last night and today. he joins us now from westminster. dominic grieve, who put forward this agreement, says the planet and armed by the pm is surely she's had it next week, is also amendable by mps. it's going to flush out a lot of plan b options. i'm guessing you would be in favour of that? for the record, i didn't vote against the comet today. i think it the right thing to be doing. we're 90 weeks

away from the january 21 deadline will be make a decision, as a parliament, how we will implement the referendum result. i'm absolutely committed to respecting that result. i think a second rescue in sucha that result. i think a second rescue in such a referendum would be a mistake. parliament has the privilege we were the sovereignty invested in us. it is to me that that clear to me that there is a cross— party that clear to me that there is a cross—party majority in the house for some sort of order the brexit. i think the efta the trade option does, and —— command cross—party support. the synod on with it, have the vote, flush people out, find labour mps with brexit constituencies, the sooner we will be able to find a sensible way through. you have said to me that we need indicative vote. we need people

to have these options on the table. because almost used up article 50, we are leaving on the 29th of march with out a deal. that's correct. i supported the deal as the ultimate sanction for two and a half years. although i think it would be very daft outcome and damaging for the government and my party, politically. possibly, economically destabilising as well. in the negotiations, i supported destabilising as well. in the negotiations, isupported it destabilising as well. in the negotiations, i supported it as an option in orderfor the prime minister to get the best deal that she can. the premise and europe has made it very clear that negotiations are now over, this is the deal. next week, the situation is, you island before this deal or you get a no—deal brexit. i have some conservative colleagues who think

the deal would be excellent and be very happy to put against this deal safely knowledge that would get ready. i'm not prepared for parliament to be hijacked by 30 or 40 mp5, parliament to be hijacked by 30 or a0 mps, even if the act of my own party. we need to set up parliamentary support for berries options. i think you will see very few m ps options. i think you will see very few mps supporting no deal. you may see the majority of mps supporting norway or an alternative. sooner or later, we will have that. vitamin programme, we will see how many of your colleagues are blase... they don't think it would be devastating on the british economy. you call that a daft outcome, why do you think it's a daft outcome and? first of all, i don't think your report is accurate. 120 mps, who are not at

liberty to talk to the media about their view, they are bound by collective responsibility. there are a lot of mps more on the airwaves who are very concerned and want to make sure we get this right. why you think it's a daft outcome is because, firstly, economically, secondly, politically. economically, we are in danger of signalling to companies and investors all around the world who have given the economic uk revival because we are a gateway to the european market, and in the shrieking, pro—enterprise economy accessing the single market that we are prepared to fill all the way. i think that the very damaging to our economic partners. politically, i think it would be a huge signal to the a8% and many other younger businesses and public sector voters that we are now somehow in the grip of some ideological fervour about an

ideological fervour about an ideological brexit. i don't think this party would recover from a ideological brexit. i don't think this party would recoverfrom a huge mistake. i believe this country deserves better. i'm absolutely committed to delivering brexit, but not an ideological, no deal crash out. today, you abstained from the vote. we have been talking about the impact of the speaker on today's vote. do you still have confidence in the speaker? i do. the unit is of a system is that we elect a speaker, she is one of us. and then remains a member of parliament but ceases any party affiliation but says the house. there is such thing as a perfect speaker, he's a human being. his instincts for better and for worse, are that parliament should ta ke worse, are that parliament should take back more control of the process. i have all sorts of things

i disagree with the speaker about. i think, at times, he considered his own profile above the office of this speaker and pigs on backbenchers. automatically, i think he believes in the sovereignty of parliament. i don't think that any democrat need shed any tears. the truth is, parliament is in control, whether thatis parliament is in control, whether that is to be for the comment. we should expose labour mps who want to vote for brexit and expose jeremy corbyn, she was claiming to be a brexiteer up north and a remainder down south. thank you forjoining us. after addressing the nation last night on tv, president trump has just wrapped another informal briefing on immigration today. he reiterated his view that there is a security crisis on the border and only a wall will fix it. he also said he may yet call a national emergency in order

to bypass congress and get funds for a wall from the defence budget. last night mr trump made his first oval office national address on immigration as part of a pr push to rally support for his wall. however he didn't present any new facts or arguments and key republican senators are growing increasingly sceptical of his plan. they don't think it's worth shutting down the government in order to get the wall. today mr trump made it clear he believes the wall is essential. we could all play games. but, a wall is a necessity. all of the other things — the sensors and the drones — it's all wonderful things to have and it works well. but only if you have the wall. if you don't have the wall, it doesn't matter. a drone isn't stopping 1000 people from running through. joining us is marc lotter — a former special assistant to president trump who is now a spokesman for the republican national committee. the president is still on capitol

hill talking to republicans because we have a number of republicans are saying they don't like this, the shutdown has led to get away from the whole budget negotiations with the whole budget negotiations with the ball and reopen the government. how to you win them over?” the ball and reopen the government. how to you win them over? i think the key is that he's gone to remain firmly committed to this. i don't think a few centres will break the logjam in the senate. we face the hurdle in trying to get democrats don't come over and we'll bring the government. any push for that will involve a number of republican senators as well, i don't think those numbers are very. what the president is saying is that we do have a humanitarian crisis on our southern border. even though the numbers are dropping, we do have a problem when one third of the women who are coming across to the southern border are being sexually assaulted, that's not something we can turn our back on. here's what

the president said back in december last night. —— in december and last night. who take the mantle? i will be the one to shut it down. i'm not going to blame you for it. the last time you shut it down, it didn't work. i will take the mantle of shutting it down. i'm going to shut it down for border security. but we believe you shouldn't shut it down. we really have to think about the people of our country. this is not a fight i wanted, i didn't want this fight. in december, the president said he would be proud shutdown the government on the issue of border security. it is time to shift the blame for the shutdown on the democrats because he knows the american public is not behind it was like in fact, the american public come to the polls are consistently blaming the republicans, mod democrats. in december, the president was sending a strong signal to congress house series he was about this. centre bluesy said

that he didn't have the right to get it but you cannot prove them wrong. now he is saying, let's find a way out of this. let's negotiate. on monday, i was at the white house and the first word that the vice president told me out of the democrats marvel when negotiating was, we are not negotiating on this you reopen the government. which means, unless you completely give up your position, we are not going to talk about negotiation. that's not how you negotiate. i'm not convinced that he is about the strategy. if you is going to have this fight, then has to be out front, done at then has to be out front, done at the border with the cameras. but he's compelling tv corresponded in private that he doesn't want to go down to the border, it won't make any difference. is he hiding the

fight? part of it is that the president realises it would motivate congress. the democrats are dug in intent of resistance to the president and his plan. republicans in many corners are still staying with the president. whether the president made the pitch last night, or whether he goes to the border would change opinions in the walls of congress. it will help inform the american people and that's why he is going tomorrow. well last night the democrats didn't show any signs of backing down and their leaders will be back at the white house in the next hour. for more on what it will take to break this impasse, i spoke a brief time ago with democratic congresswoman val demings from florida. congresswoman — last night, president trump blamed democrats for the shutdown. it's now in its 19th day. is it time for democrats to make concessions, fund the border wall, and give government employees back their paycheques? let me just say there's — i spent 27 years in law enforcement, served as the chief of police.

i'm certainly am no stranger to emergency situations, or no stranger to what it means to provide security at our borders. i believe that itjust makes real good sense to look at the amazing technology that is available to us, to not only enhance security at our borders, butjust as we are doing in cities and towns all over this nation, to improve the safety. so, the president is looking at an antiquated way. he's looking at antiquated technology to really solve a problem of today and the future. he said last night that a wall would keep out drugs in the country. his administration has said that a wall would help keep out terrorists and that it would help keep out of the number of illegal people coming into the country. none of those arguments persuade you? as i believe all america knows the majority of the drugs flowing into this country actually come

through the ports of entry. so, if we have $5.7 billion that we are just determined to spend on security — let's enhance security at our ports of entry. on friday, 800,000 government employees will not be given their paycheques. this is having a real impact. we heard it on our programme yesterday, on families across the country. isn't itjust in everybody‘s interest to get the government back open so that those families can get their paycheques. there is no doubt. i had an opportunity to work side by side with federal employees who are being affected right now by this government shutdown. our number one priority, the democrat's number one priority, is to reopen the government. that's why we have introduced legislation to the house, and passed legislation, the same republican legislation that republicans put on the floor a couple of weeks ago. mitch mcconnell needs to take that

legislation to the floor, let the senators vote it up or down, so that we can get the government back open. and those dedicated, very loyal, employees can get the paycheques that they have already worked for, and so desperately deserve. congresswoman — you sit on the homeland security committee, what impact is the shutdown having on homelandand security? let me just say this— when we think about all that america has to offer, the safety and security of our nation really has to be the number one concern. because it does provide the foundations. looking at the transportation security officers who are really assigned to the ports of entry. just in orlando, last year, we had a2 million people travel through the orlando international airport, the thought of those tsa officers having to work for free just makes no sense at all. the president has an obligation to get the government back open so that they can be paid. thanks very much forjoining us.

fact checkers were kept busy trying to keep up with the president's speech. i've had a look at some of the key points and compared them to the figures. there is a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. there were slightly less than a00,000 people detained on the southwest border in 2018, which is an increase on the previous year. but if we look at the wider picture, there has been a sharp fall over the past 18 years. every week, 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone. 90% of which floods across from our southern border. the national institute on drug abuse says 306 people die on average, every week, from heroin overdoses. but the vast majority of the heroin seized along the us—mexico border comes through legal entry points. and fentanyl enters the united states mostly from packages mailed directly from china.

over the years, thousands of americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country. statistic show illegal migrants are much less likely to commit a crime compared to us citizens. in texas, for example, illegal migrants were 56% less likely to be convicted of a crime. in the case of legal migrants, the number is even lower. not sure he did enough to convince people it is a national crisis is lost. the cracks are starting to show among senators on the republican side. we have heard senators are all calling for the government to be reopened. will they abandon it? no. i think government to be reopened. will they abandon it? no. ithink everybody has dug in on the white house site and the democrat side. at the moment, the president hasjust come out of a meeting with republicans and says there is little solidarity.

tom robinson saying that we're getting hit in our opinion polls because of this shutdown. the president said about an hour ago, it will go on as long as it takes. government workers will not like hearing that. on the surface it was the perfect family portrait — the australian prime minister in a tender moment, with his wife and his two young daughters. except the image that appeared on scott morrison's website had a flaw — his shoes were clearly not the ones in the original photograph. and what's more the photo shopped shoes which took the place of his scruffy trainers, were of two left feet. oops. needless to say the picture has gone viral. on social media we now have #shoegate. in a tweet the prime minister insists he did not ask for the photo to be doctored. he blamed the communications team. and for good measure he added a picture of the real trainers, in all their glory. too late, the horse had already bolted and the inevitable

mickey—taking was under way. here's the prime minister with two right thumbs. here's the australian cabinet with lots of left feet. and this is my personal favourite. if they come in 9's i want some of those. those shoes are fit for a client. well, maybe. ididn't those shoes are fit for a client. well, maybe. i didn't know why people do this. isn't it so obvious? apparently, in his tweed cap. why would he want scruffy trainers? this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. earlier on today, we had some fine

weather around the competent lakes. for the north—west in scotland, the clouds have been gathering. we have also seen some rain moving in, tied in with a warm front pushing its way across scotland and northern ireland, bringing a few spots of rain. but damp weather eventually works into modern england. temperatures have been rising through the night across the north—west, frost becoming increasingly confined to parts of wales, the deadlines, as parts of england. we could see the pictures down 2—3 in the coldest spots. mulder through thursday with northwesterly winds. normally, these winds would be cold but these are

starting off the same latitude as spain before coming round to our aero high—pressure. for thursday, a lot of cloud around it will be thick enough to bring a bit of rain across england and wales where our war on front will be sinking through. no great amounts of rain. it will often be cloudy for northern ireland. we have that milder air working in the north—west with highs of august two 10 degrees. temperatures will rise on friday across england and wales. across the uk as a whole, it will be a generally cloudy day. charles into western areas of scotland hides of mind or10 western areas of scotland hides of mind or 10 degrees so it is demand for this stage of january. mind or 10 degrees so it is demand for this stage ofjanuary. a mind or 10 degrees so it is demand for this stage of january. a subtle change for the weekend. areas of high—pressure blues influence and exactly high—pressure blues influence and exa ctly get high—pressure blues influence and exactly get weatherford sinking southwards. on saturday, elite band

of rain will push across but later in the day, it will turn heavier. it will be manned everywhere, with temperatures reaching a height of up to 11 degrees. it will be quite a brisk northwesterly wind blowing across the country. looking at the forecast for sunday and next week, it will be often cloudy. netsuite, you could see spells of rain and fields wrong wins at times too. this is beyond one hundred days with me katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london our top stories: the prime minister's plans for brexit have received a major setback after mps defeated the government for a second time in 2a hours. number ten did not expect today's vote to be allowed. in highly unusual scenes, the speaker faced personal criticism and calls to stand down. president trump says he never wanted to shutdown the us government — despite saying last month that he'd be proud to do so. coming up in the next half hour it's understood us

deputy attorney general who appointed robert mueller to investigate russian election meddling is to step down in the coming weeks. and should manufacturers be forced to make goods that last longer and are easier to mend? the vote on theresa may's brexit deal which was scheduled to take place before christmas and was postponed because of the strength of the opposition will be held next week. today five days of parliamentary debate began. but how much, if anything, has changed ? christian has been taking another look at the numbers. so, here we go again. the mps debating theresa may's brexit‘s deal, the vote be on tuesday and that for now appears to be the only thing we can be certain about, that will be a vote but everyone agrees getting a commons majority will be an almighty struggle. so before we

look at which way the vote will go, let's remind ourselves how many mps the parties have here in the house of commons. we can take out the speaker and the two deputy speakers because they don't vote. the conservatives have 316 mps, that was to more than before the no—confidence vote in theresa may, because two suspended tories got the... it's still not enough to come ata the... it's still not enough to come at a majority. in this parliament, the conservatives have relied on the confidence with the dup who ten mps support the prime minister. is he on the opposition bench, labour has 25a mps, the snp have 35, the liberal democrats have 11. they have lost one here who resigned. eight... the green party also has one. as we know, brexit has divided the two

main parties. some mps will not be doing what they are told. let's go next door to remind ourselves who doesn't like the prime minister's deal. first there is the dup, all ten of them. they can't vote for a deal that includes the irish backstop, and so far there's been nothing the premise to then there are 99 brexit supporting conservatives who are on the record as opposing the deal, then tory remainers who say they will rebel, there are at least 12 of them, so there are at least 12 of them, so the total number of conservatives against this deal done at 111. next comes labour, and all the other opposition mps, that adds up to another 312 vote against the prime minister. who is to vote for the deal? the best estimate from bbc research is 205 conservatives will

fall behind her, there is still only the additional support of that one solitary former lib dem, which means of these calculations, the prime minister will be short by 11a votes and that incidentally is 19 more votes against her than just over one month ago when we first looked at these figures. but i remind you, as we did last time, we don't know how many of this group who are against mightabstain, many of this group who are against might abstain, lowering the overall total and we don't know how many labour mps total and we don't know how many labourmps might total and we don't know how many labour mps might back the deal who haven't yet made a decision. we don't yet know what further concessions or clarifications might come from the eu between now and the vote on tuesday, so all that could change the numbers. at least we won't have to wait long to see what the final tally is. what comes after that, that is anyone's guess. it's easy to know what you're against. but two years into this brexit

debate, does the british parliament anand menon's is from the uk in a changing europe. today they've published their fourth annual survey on what mp's think. so if the debate is to be accelerated in the coming week, are there any clues we can glean from it. are there? we're not going to answer the question in the centre to no closer to what mps are no closer to what mps of all but we know what they are against. it is not good reading is fully prime minister because the sense we get from the numbers that conservative mps are not going to support her till partly because there are remarkably positive about britain's prospects outside the eu. they think there isn't a problem with... they think it is being exaggerated by the youthful negotiating purpose purposes and. china and the united states will more than composite for any states will more than composite for a ny lost states will more than composite for any lost trade with the eu, but the problem with the panacea is she has

constructed a... baser minis to co nse rve constructed a... baser minis to conserve the economy, to double the irish border question and the mps don't think there are rock problems. the prospects of getting a number of conservatives to back this is bleak. party members as well over the country, reflect what you have a in your survey also. yes, my colleagues did a big survey of party members and absolutely right, in majority if i remember rightly of conservative party members are very relaxed about no deal. notjust the withdrawal dilbert falling out of the eu with no deal at all. most expert organisations have looked at this and say this might be very disruptive indeed. i bet you're finding to george freeman, the member of parliament earlier, he says your numbers are not sensitive because there are lots of conservatives who don't know they can speak about this who are very afraid of no deal and think it is going to lead to chaos, is this ever

preventative one? it is a representative of mps, it carries all the surveys and warnings. it is not all mp5, we don't know if they we re not all mp5, we don't know if they were telling the truth, but ought we can say is we have done this over time and so what has been interesting for us is the way that numbers have changed over time, one interesting fact of members was that the numberof labourmps interesting fact of members was that the number of labour mps who think being in the legal market would imply some kind of betrayal of the brexit vote has shot up, that is interesting insofar as there is a possible it is on stop talking about a norway type solution because it looks like... there are shortcomings to this. i'll take it more as a guide. so is the visible market is not an option, what will the plan looked like that the prime minister could get a majority of members of parliament to vote for? what is bizarre that is why we are at now is that nothing is an option. there is not a majority in parliament for

anything. there is a majority against virtually everything, so i suspect would all happen is this, the panellists looks like losing this vote, the first question is how much does she lose by? pundits, spin doctors, mps will figure out whether the number she loses by means she can carry on or not, if she loses by a landslide, the cabinets might... i don't know where the market yet, expectations get settled over the next few days, the newspapers on tuesday said they expected to lose by x, tuesday said they expected to lose by x, if tuesday said they expected to lose by x, if she loses by that's quite plus quite a lot, that's a disaster. if she is losing by significantly more than 100 votes, on this the signature issue of her premiership, her position becomes far weaker and that it might be the case either that it might be the case either that the labour party puts forward a vote of no—confidence then we have to see if tory mps are willing to vote with the opposition, i did think they will. all will be cabinets they, this is failing. if

she loses by a smaller margin she can go back to brussels and try again. three days to come up with a plan or maybe a vote of no—confidence. like you very much. the man who oversees the mueller investigation is stepping down. rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general has had a difficult relationship with the president and it's reported he'll be leaving after the new attorney general bill barr is sworn in. mr rosenstein controled the scope and budget of the probe which is looking into whether the trump campaign colluded with russia. there was more news on that yesterday. we learned that mr trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, had shared internal campaign polling data with a businessman who was linked to russian intelligence. potentially, another indication that people close to mr trump were working with russian operatives —course, it doesn't necessarily mean that mr trump himself knew any of this. for more we are joined now by elisabeth bumiller, washington bureau chief of the new york times. hgppy happy new year to you as well. use changes taking place in thejustice department, rob rosenstein going

out, what do they mean for the muller probe? we do know that as you said, he was the chief protector of the investigation bill bar we don't know, he was critical of italia, which was the president like that. we shall see if he will allow it to continue. he could deny some subpoena, he could... the critical thing is when f makes a report to the attorney general that is all he was required to do. whether he let congress have it, whether you let the public see it that is the big question. so the man replacing him leaving, could potentially be the person who will decide whether the american public ever gets to know. if you decide that it is just for him, does his own pleasure, there will be an uproar in congress. we do

suspect that there will be some delivery to congress, then of course it is thejob delivery to congress, then of course it is the job of the press to ferry it is the job of the press to ferry it out. i expect it in some way or form, the report, whateverform it ta kes all form, the report, whateverform it takes all become public. in, the intrigue into the investigation has been stoked by these reports which come from unredacted court documents that paula manna fought, was channelling. with links, two russian intelligence was plausible that was what he has for doing that this was a very big deal yesterday in washington when this came out. a lot of people were saying collusion which as you know is not an illegal term, it means there is evidence that if there was a crime committed, they were in... one theory is that he was passing this on, paul, this

was the height of when the russians we re was the height of when the russians were running their disinformation campaign, when they were putting up fa ke campaign, when they were putting up fake websites, targeting certain voters, they were voters who thought would be targeting voters who were putting up a lot of fake black lives matter photo websites and also that this polling data. we have no idea but this is one of the suspicions. it is also possible that he wanted to show how close he was too drunk and that they should be dealing with him and other business matters. possibly useful information. this all speaks to what will go on next week when the confirmation for bill barr takes place. very interesting

andl barr takes place. very interesting and i suspect he walked he will stand behind him. it if you have dilemma ever hire a lawyer, what they put out there in the press for the press to see is what he wants them to see and not what he wants them to see and not what you don't want them to see. make sure the black outfit state blacked out when you copy it into a word documents. this is beyond 100 days. still to come — the nominations have been announced for this year's bafta film awards, we'll be discussing the favourites. police say they believe that a 1a—year—old boy who was murdered in london last night was the victim of a targeted attack in which he was knocked over by three men in a car, and fatally stabbed. adina campbell reports. those who knew jayden moodie say he was outgoing, and knowledgeable, with an interest in nature. the 1a—year—old who was under age had been riding a mopeds illegally in this part of east london when he was

hit by a car yesterday evening in what police say was a targeted attack. he was then stamped multiple times by a gang of three men and died at the scene. his death has devastated this local community. jayden called me grandad, he was going to start the boxing training, his auntie bought him gloves, they were setting him up. it's not like jayden didn't have any future. the teenager is the youngest victim of knife crime in london over the last 12 months. this is a busy part of east london but it is known for problems with gang—related violence and drugs. a report last year found that those gangs were increasingly using young people and gps technology as part of their competitive criminal activity with rival groups. and in some cases, inevitably, leading to people losing their lives. last year, was the worst for violent crime in england

and wales since 2011. in london alone, 132 people were killed. more than half of those cases involved knives. since last night's attack, please say they have stepped up patrols in the area including at local schools. the police are here. i would like to reassure them in terms of our efforts every single day to keep them safe. so far, no one has been arrested but police say they are continuing to make house to house enquiries as part of this latest murder investigation. you know the feeling, you buy a new appliance, a dishwasher an oven, only for it to break down shortly after the guarantee expires. it's almost as expensive to get it repaired as to buy a new one, so you chuck it out and replace it. it's deeply frustrating — especially as you know your old machine is adding to some

massive rubbish tip that's doing nothing to help climate change. well uk ministers share your concerns. they are backing new eu laws that will make it easier to get appliances fixed when they break down. the regulations will also 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's 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, really, 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 ofjunked 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 that these laws are definitely a step in the right

direction and it's great that they've been improved. but there is a lot more they could do. there is 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. are these laws enough to tackle the problem? let's speak to libby peake, senior policy adviser at green alliance. it's funny, because when i lived in cairo for two years, i would throw things away and people who worked with us but they don't further away. i remember my daughter's dvd player and it was sent off and repaired. i realise, they have a culture of repairing things and we don't and if they thought of land behaviour.m is, but i think there's also a lot

to say when it's a huge hassle to get things repaired. he did have the repair services, you can't get these bad parts and it makes it so you have to do it out because it impossible to repair and it's really expensive and daytime hassle.” suppose there is an industry in cairo that there isn't here. i can sort of see the downside, because if you prise open a machine and try to fix it, there is a fire risk and does the manufacturer wants to take that risk? but if you recycle and keep fixing a washing machine over and over, it might not be as efficient as the new one that he was by dan at the electrical store. to the first question, in terms of disassembling it, it's really important to get this done at the design stage, so the designers make sure it is safe to access the materials and you can make sure you can do it with simple tools and with instructions provided by the manufacturers to the dissidents so you can do it yourself. whether or

not it is going to be less energy—efficient, these regulations have come out of the eu eco—design regulation and this has been used so far to measure energy that products use is really quite slow and it's tied up at the labelling scheme you might have seen. so that means legislation has made sure that products are as efficient as possible and now they are making it so that there last as long as possible. this is the net is happening in the states too. 18 us states are proposing some sort of rights to repair legislation, but is it that we can't repair some of these appliances that they are now so high—tech that what needs repairing often is not the appliance, the metal and the bits of it, it's the software and then who controls the software is the issue. that is absolutely a good point. there are businesses that have made

that can make money out of software issues, so if businesses can repair things to do with products and long—lasting products with software services, and potentially provide repair services themselves, then that'll be good for them.” repair services themselves, then that'll be good for them. i think it is whether you can get into it. have the things i try to fix because i quite a diy expert, i can't get in, get the screws undone and when you, thenit get the screws undone and when you, then it doesn't open. the washing machine, whether often they make you can't access the drum, so if something minor goes wrong with the washing machine you have to replace it. we might need a new television. thank you very much indeed. not sure if you had the laughter from across

the atlantic. the nominations have been announced for this year's bafta film awards. the period comedy drama the favourite leads the field — shortlisted in 12 categories. bohemian rhapsody, first man, roma and a star is born each have seven nominations. here's our arts editor will gompertz. we went for something dramatic — do you like it? you look like a badger. dramatic — do you like it? the favourite is a darkly comic period drama set in the 18th—century court of queen anne, who is played by olivia colman in a warts—and—all performance. alongside, her two co—stars, emma stone and rachel weisz. well, the favourite is clearly the favourite, but, will it win? what do you think? let's start with best film. i think the favourite is odds—on favourite to win, stick your money on it now. i think the period dramas always do incredibly well, especially at the baftas. i think its biggest rival will be roma, beautiful memoir of childhood from alfonso cuaron of his time in mexico. all right — best actor.

i think it is less of a competition than it is in the best actress category, for once, this year. well, rami malek won the golden globe for best actor for his transformation into freddie mercury. but i think this is christian bale's nomination to lose. i think he was just astonishing in vice — it was a total transformation as dick cheney. vice—president i see is mostly a symbolicjob. right, right. best actress ? embarrassment of riches this year. there are so many, i'm pleased to say, female driven dramas. but i think it's got to be a straight competition between the wonderful olivia colman for the favourite, surely she's got to win on home turf, but huge competition from glenn close in the wife where she plays the apparently downtrodden wife of a nobel prize winner. while i was out being a drunken lush you were seducing the luscious lydia? nothing happened. 0h! let's move onto best supporting actor. i think richard e grant for

can you ever forgive me is likely because he's never been nominated for a bafta. i've just come from having my teeth bleached. how do they look? he's almost a sort of minor national treasure and his role in can you forgive me is a bit like withnail and i revisited. but, mahershala ali — he won for green book at the golden globes. he could win. will win. dear dolores. d e a r, this is an animal. and finally — best supporting actress? i think the two favourite ladies are the two favourites — rachel weisz and emma stone. and i think emma stone is going to swing it. fantastic to see a film which had three female leads this year. progress? maybe. but it's also worth noting that, once again, there was no female representation in baftas‘ best director category. will gompertz, bbc news. there has been — for some time now — an ongoing discussion as to the authenticity ofjohn travolta's locks.

over the years — the grease star has sported some questionable hair styles —— leading to speculation that he may be using a wig. but the guessing is no more —— as travolta posted this picture on instagram posing with his daughter, complete with a bald head. the reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive —— even prompting comparisons with fellow a—lister bruce willis. meanwhile here in the uk the former england footballer, peter reid, has gone the other way. he was a little thin on top... but today has unveiled new flowing locks. "is it vanity? i don't think so," he said. was i losing confidence? no, not really. it was just something where i thought, ‘yeah, it's playing on my mind so i'll do it." can wejust can we just check? can we do that?

seriously? he was so vain. look at this? what are you trying to pull? noble spots. trump does that also. see you tomorrow. most of us have had a pretty decent day with a lot of dry and bright weather. earlier on today we had some fine weather around the lakes, isa some fine weather around the lakes, is a beautiful reflections there, but further west in scotland, clouds have been gathering recently, also another bit of rain moving in, that rain is tied in with a warm front, pushing its way across scotland and northern ireland, bringing the threat of a fuse but suffering. that weather works into northern england and is one of those nights where temperatures have been rising through the night across the north

as the brexit debate resumes. mps voted to give theresa mayjust three days to come up with a new brexit plan, if the current one is defeated next week, but the prime minister maintains her deal, is the only realistic alternative. the only way to avoid no—deal is vote for the deal. isn't the prime minister bringing back exactly the same deal she admitted would be defeated four weeks ago? this is the scene in the house of commons now, where mps have started five days of debate on theresa may's plans, leading to the big vote next tuesday. police say 1a—year—old jaden moodie, knocked off a moped in east london and fatally stabbed, was deliberately targeted.
