welcome to bbc news. 4 single mothers have won a highly significant high court challenge to the universal credit system, after saying they're struggling financially because of the way their payments are calculated. the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, has now admitted that the controversial new benefits system is not as "effective" or as "compassionate" as it should be. today, she unveiled a raft of changes to the system, which rolls 6 benefits into one. she's scrapped plans to cap benefits for households with more than 2 children born before april 2017. private landlords will be able to ask for rent to be paid to them directly from the government, to try to cut down on the number of claimants being evicted for not paying their rent.

and a new system will be tested, instead of receiving payments once a month, new claimants will be paid more frequently. our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, reports. what has it meant not to have any money? no food, no heating. i wouldn't be able to afford to buy food on my own. to cover some household bills, i had to look at getting payday loans. how much money do you have? 4p, and i am using that to get a mealfrom the butcher's. you put in a donation. it is the welfare reform that is in danger of becoming a welfare failure. while most people on it can cope with universal credit, for a significant minority it has been catastrophic. use of food banks have increased. the work and pensions secretary sought to reset universal credit, introducing key changes she hopes will make it fair. the home secretary has introduced key changes she hopes will make it

compassionate and fair. the standard offer cannot work for everyone. people's work patterns, the pressures they face, theirfamilies, everyone‘s circumstances are unique. i want to make sure universal credit has enough flexibility to adapt to personal circumstances. particularly the needs of the most vulnerable. rebecca would certainly agree. a carer to her ten—year—old with spina bifida, their universal credit payments vary each month. budgeting is almost impossible said the labour party member, who finds the system impersonal. we are made to feel bad that we are claiming this benefit, that we don't deserve this money. last month, i met kevin wilmot, who owns properties in hartlepool and hates universal credit. i would rather keep the house empty and pay the council tax than put someone in who won't pay the rent. amber rudd says she will help him. private landlords will be able to have rent paid directly to them rather than relying on tenants

to pass it on. i would be over the moon if they paid directly. it would be a big help to start getting the rent paid directly to the landlord, because otherwise, all of us will end up going under. as the government is trying to revamp universal credit, the high court dealt ministers a blow. four women who have lost money due to a design flaw with the benefit won a legal challenge. the government say they are considering this judgment, but it could be hugely expensive. at a hearing last year, they told the court it could cost hundreds of millions of pounds to solve this problem. charities and campaign groups have broadly welcomed today's changes, but labour says the government didn't go far enough. the idea of waiting five weeks to receive money, the policy has been designed by people who assume that everyone is paid monthly. some people are paid weekly.

this is a government out of touch with the lives of working people. today's changes will cost money. universal credit is already more expensive than the system it replaces. but many claimants need real help. ministers have made rescuing their flagship welfare change a top priority. the child poverty action group supported the legal challenge outlined in that report, in which 4 working mothers said the new system could leave them struggling financially. early we heard from louisa mcgeehan, policy director at the child poverty action group. well it was very significant, it was a victory for common sense really that the legal aspect ardent complicated and what the court said is the way that people's salaries are being considered by universal credit was notjust unfair but unlawful, so the issue was if most of us who don't get that support

from social security get paid early by our employers, we does have the issue of how to make that payment last a bit longer. but for these women on low incomes, the universal credit system, what it did was it saw salary coming in as a second salary, decided that they were earning double that they were and as a result of that they didn't get the help they should have got, and then they lost out on what they call the work allowance, so the money that they are allowed to earn before it sta rts they are allowed to earn before it starts to be taken away under universal credit. itjust sounds complicated listening it to you. you do wonder how people who are trying to get access to this and are being moved across to this new system are dealing with it, but primarily you said it was ruled as unlawful so what does that mean? it now means that the dwp have to take stock of thejudgement, and that the dwp have to take stock of the judgement, and we would that the dwp have to take stock of thejudgement, and we would hope that given that it's common sense

thejudgement that they that given that it's common sense the judgement that they would not appeal so there is another hearing in february at which they will decide how they're going to put it right, but what it seems most likely is there going to have to depart from the computerised system, look at it in from the computerised system, look at itina from the computerised system, look at it in a real—life way went to salaries are received, and when there's only one salary per month and to do a manual intercept in that system to try and make sure that that hate is assessed against the correct period in which it applies. we get this sense that today was a wake—up call. we get this sense that today was a wa ke—up call. does we get this sense that today was a wake—up call. does the reality of the lives of people who are having to deal with universal credit recipients of universal credit match with the ministers and the people in charge of executing the system?m feels like the significant moments, and in an ideal world we would not have to go, and the system would have to go, and the system would have been identified, the system adapted, and so listening to amber red today, it sounds like she is marketing quite a big change in what

she wants the system to do. —— amber rudd... the value she talks about and making the system compassionate, supporting people and also recognising when people can work, and give them a level of protection to them. these are all things that we would say are absolutely right. these are things that need to be done, so you know if she is serious about wanting to work on those, we will be really happy to work with those. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:1i0pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are, the broadcaster, john stapleton, and the political correspondent at the evening standard, kate proctor. andy murray has broken down in tears at a news conference in melbourne, as he announced that he'll be retiring from tennis this year. the 31—year—old has been struggling to recoverfrom hip surgery 12 months ago, and says even basic

things in everyday life, like putting on socks and shoes, are causing him severe pain. the 3—time grand slam winner, wants to compete for a final time at wimbledon this summer, but acknowledged that the pain he's in, means that next week's australian open, could be the final tournament of his career. our sports editor, dan roan, reports. one of the country's greatest sporting moments but arguably its greatest ever sportsman. the waiting is over. andy murray's a historic wimbledon win six years ago enabled british tennis fans the dream again. but after summary trials came two yea rs. but after summary trials came two years. the star becoming so emotional when discussing a chronic hip injury. mary managed to return.

sorry. but one as of the australian open beak would be his last tournament his answer became anguished. i think there is a chance of that first —— i think there is a chance of that for sure. i think there a chance for sure because like isaid i'm there a chance for sure because like i said i'm not, i'm not sure i'm able to play through the pain you know for another four or five months. murray had been hoping to continue his recovery from surgery a year ago, but his inability to com plete year ago, but his inability to complete became clear when visibly out of sorts, he cut short a practise match in melbourne just hours later admitting that the game was up. i said to my team i think i can kind of get through this until wimbledon, that is where i would like to... that's where i would like

to stop, stop playing, but i'm also not saying that i'm able to do that. —— certain i'm able to do that. not saying that i'm able to do that. -- certain i'm able to do that. if this is the end, murray can retire with his head held high. a three—time grand slam winner, this process is given at the us open before his divining victory in 2013, overcoming the weight of history to and britain 77 year wait for a men's wimbledon champion. he won two gold medals, and even aspired a tennis nation to victory over the davis cup. but the formidable world —— former world number one body proved too much. this time as a tennis player is coming to an end, when that will be i don't know but i think it will be sooner rather than

later and see him think it will be sooner rather than laterand see him in think it will be sooner rather than later and see him in that frame of mindl later and see him in that frame of mind ijust later and see him in that frame of mind i just can't later and see him in that frame of mind ijust can't think him going on too long. murray record is all the more remarkable given the era he played in. completing with and beating three of the greatest talents ever to play the game, roger federer, rafael nadal and novak djokovic. the opponents he said to do it, i'm not sure that any other athlete or even team had had to deal with the expectation that he was under to achieve those grand slams. it was here on centre court that andy murray became that rarest of things, a british champion at wimbledon that once, but twice in so, achieved legendary status. it's become hard to imagine this place without him, but we now know he may never graze this court again. either way, he will be remembered for not more thanjust way, he will be remembered for not more than just bits. one of the first high—profile tennis players to avoid the malkovich, murray consistently campaign for equality in the sports. —— to employ a female coach... in the sports. —— to employ a female

coach. . . the in the sports. —— to employ a female coach... the incomparable andy murray. such was his popularity, murray. such was his popularity, murray with the only person to win sports personality of the year. not bad for a boy with a dream who through sheer hard work and talent went on to conquer the tennis world was the inspirational, emotional, exceptional. british board can only hope they will see his like again. around a thousand jobs are under threat at a ford plant in bridgend in south wales, due to restructuring plans. the car giant announced yesterday it would be reorganising its european operations, but gave no details about possible cuts in the uk. the union, unite, said it had now been briefed by bosses, and more than half of the bridgend workforce was likely to go by 2021. sarah dickens reports. let the other guys keep dreaming about the future.

we will be the ones billing it. the future is built, that is according to ford's publicity. but what is the future for its works in bridgend? the company is changing the type of vehicles it will make, where it will make them and how. for two years, unions have been warning of more than 1,000 job losses. the plant makes engines forjaguar cars, but that contract ends in a year. there are some possibility in terms of winning future work. ford said they want to pursue an electrification strategy. putting more battery and hybrid vehicles on the road. perhaps the bridgend plant could win some of that work. perhaps this is the start of that negotiation. bridgeend won the investment for the new ford engine. but the number of engines it will be making will be halved. ford is not commenting

but acknowledges the strategy will result in job losses and said it is premature to speculate. the union says the losses will take place over two years and it is devastating for families and the communities. another union, the gmb said it will fight for every ford job in bridgend. fears of substantialjob losses have been hanging over the plants for two years. unless the plants manages to win more contracts for more ford engines or other contracts, the fears may become a reality. sarah dickens reporting there. as many as 4000 civil servants are going to be moved from their usualjobs to prepare for a possible "no deal" brexit. staff at the ministry of defence and the department for education, are among those who will be redeployed.

they could be away from their normal posts for more than 6 months. the headlines on bbc news... the government announces further changes to the roll—out of universal credit, as 4 single working mothers win a high court challenge over the scheme. hundreds of thousands of us government workers miss their first pay cheque of the year, as a result of a budget row that's led to a federal government shutdown. a thousand jobs could go at the ford engine plant in south wales, as the company restructures its european operations. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's azi. andy murray — one of britain's greatest ever sportsmen — broke down in tears as he announced he's retiring from tennis. he was hoping to make it

to his home grand slam at wimbledon, but admitted that the australian open, which begins next week, could be his last tournament. the former world number one has been struggling for months to recoverfrom hip surgery. in an era when players are enjoying success in their later years, it must be a bitter disappointment for murray, and sue barker believes it's partly why he's been so determined to carry on. every player wants to play on as long as they can. that's why he's pushed himself, had the surgery, travelled the world, tried to get the deal back of the retirement, nothing can replace him. the agenda when you feel, to lift his trophies, to achieve what he has achieved, that's why he was playing the game. he not going to give to lose in the second or third round he is a champion. i think it is now champion. i think it is now champion. i think it is now champion. i think it is... and that those days are behind him, and it's very sad for him but also for

british tennis. leeds united head coach marcelo bielsa has admitted sending one of his staff to spy on a derby county training session ahead of tonight's game between the two clubs. the fa says it's investigating after frank lampard's pre—match preparations for the championship match were disrupted yesterday when a man was caught acting suspiciously outside the club's training facility. bielsa told sky sports earlier: ‘it‘s true there was someone from leeds united. the responsibility for this lies with me. i'm responsible. it doesn't matter if it's legal or illegal, or right or wrong.‘ ‘for me it's enough that frank lampard and derby county feel it was not the right thing to do and that i didn't behave well.‘ the game is under way now and leads are one note up. one nil up. liverpool have received a boost ahead of the weekend with virgil van

dijk and jurgen klopp being named the premier league's player and manager of the month for december. van dijk is the first defender to win it since tottenham's jan vertonghen in march 2013. he played in all eight of liverpool's matches when they were unbeaten in december. klopp called his award "the icing on the cake". liverpool are four points clear at the top of the premier league and travel to brighton tomorrow. chelsea boss maurizio sarri has criticised bayern munich for going public about their desire to sign winger callum hudson—odoi. bayern have bid £35 million for the 18—year—old and the german club's sporting director has said they "really want to sign him". hudson—odoi has 18 months left on his chelsea deal and sarri has made his displeasure with bayern clear. it's not professional, because they are talking about is a player under contract at chelsea, and so they

didn't respect our club i think. meanwhile chelsea midfielder cesc fabregas has joined ligue 1 side monaco. the 31—year—old spaniard captained the blues in the fa cup against nottingham forest on saturday and was in tears as he applauded fans at the final whistle. he links up with former arsenal team—mate and now monaco boss, thierry henry. england international sam underhill is set to miss the entire six nations tournament which starts next month. he's expected to be out for three months after undergoing ankle surgery. he picked up the injury during bath's win over leicester in december. england face ireland in dublin in their first match on the second of february. underhill was part of england's 2018 six nations side and featured in three of the autumn internationals. the first of the latest round of rugby union's champions cup matches is under way and it comes in the tightest group of all, pool 2. gloucester hosting munster. the home side are bottom, but they can go top if they win by more than seven points

with a try bonus point. however defeat to munster would leave them unable to qualify for the quarterfinals. munster currently leading 13 points to 3. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. thank you for that. in the last few minutes president trump has said that he would not be declaring a national emergency as a way for ending the partial government shutdown. there has been that route overfunds shutdown. there has been that route over funds needed to shutdown. there has been that route overfunds needed to build shutdown. there has been that route over funds needed to build the wall over funds needed to build the wall over the mexican border. it has been a heated row what the democrats is that the dispute has led to the partial shutdown of the united states government. 800,000 staff should have got the paychex today

but they were not. what the latest development is that both the house and the senate have adjourned for the weekend, and that means they're not going to be back in town until monday which virtually guarantees that this'll be the longest us government shutdown in history. we also waiting to see if donald trump will decide to declare a national emergency, and when he does that there are specific provisions in federal law. there are guidelines set by congress on what constitutes a national emergency, what he can do it that which one of the things is to tap into unused military funds elsewhere in the budget and use that to direct it towards a border wall conceivably. it has not been used for anything like that in the past, it's been used and recovery efforts after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and used in

in afghanistan and is going to be very controversial if one does that but there are some republicans who view this to be the only way that he can get of this crisis losing face because the reality is that democrats don't seem willing to budge at all negotiations have broken down for funding those $5 billion for the border wall that he is asked for the democrats have been passing legislation that would keep the government open, but the senate republicans have been blocking that, and donald trump has promised of veto. meanwhile you have the impact of the federal government workers missing theirfirst of the federal government workers missing their first paycheque at 2019. up until now it was a theoretical thing, but not that they we re theoretical thing, but not that they were counting on money and now they are not getting it into their bank accounts. there are certain resources that have been shut down such as government health worker inspections, tsa the check bags at airports, they have to work without

pay, a lot of them are calling in sick, in sick, in fact the miami airport they're going to close a terminal over the weekend because they don't have enough security staff to man the checkpoints, so they're consolidating staff. i think we're starting to see real effects of the shutdown going forward where they are over 800,000 workers who are not getting paid, and need a government service that are going to continue to be shattered by the lack offunding. continue to be shattered by the lack of funding. just the brink of today, and the last few minutes we heard donald trump has said he is not declaring a national emergency. —— just in the last few minutes... this being reported by roy. that is the latest development. he's trying to secure the funds to build a wall on the mexican border. now it's

18—year—old rah—haf mohammed al—coo—noon — said she feared being killed after publicly renouncing islam. she fled to thailand, refused to leave her hotel and took to twitter to avoid being deported. she's now left bangkok on her way to canada. more than a third of secondary schools in england overspent their budgets last year, according to new figures from an independent think tank. the education policy institute has warned that secondary schools in england are facing growing financial pressures, with head teachers saying they're on a financial ‘cliff edge'. but the government insists there is enough money in the system. our education editor bra nwen jeffreys, reports from worcestershire. across worcestershire, letters have gone out to parents from schools warning more are sliding into debt. apres l'ecole je vais manger... charlotte, can you do that one?

natalie waters was covering for a teacher today. she's the head and plugs the gap to save money. sometimes you are weighing up, do you keep a teaching assistant or do you employ a maths teacher? these are really difficult decisions for headteachers and governors to make. and yet results are still holding up. parents might think, well, you can make more savings. what concerns me hugely is that we may have maintained our exam results, but what about all the rest of the work that a school does? secondary schools in england are feeling the financial pinch. 30% of council—supported schools are in the red. four times more than in 2014. 50% of academies are spending more than their income. parents around the uk know that schools are facing tighter budgets. some, like this school, are just about staying in balance. but that's because they've already made difficult decisions to cut staff.

other schools will have to do the same. and we don't know what the cost will be in terms of children's education. in england, ministers say there is enough money. we are spending record amounts of money on our school system this year. £42 billion, we are distributing that money to schools on a fairer basis. every local authority is seeing an increase in funding for every pupil in every school. but at pick—up, not all parents are convinced. funds are really important and i don't think there are enough funds for schooling, really. schools are struggling. there is no money. we've lost lots of teachers here. we've lost lots of subjects here. often it's notjust a case of throwing more money at something. sometimes there can be waste in the procurement of things, so are we buying things efficiently? is maintenance done in an efficient way? and are schools spending money wisely?

with parents often asked to chip in, school funding is likely to stay on their minds. bra nwen jeffreys, bbc news, worcestershire. ella kissi—debrah was just 9 years old when she died after suffering a severe asthma attack, one of many. she lived right next to one of london's busiest roads, the south circular, a notorious pollution hotspot. since her death 6 years ago, her family have argued that it was unlawful levels of pollution that triggered her asthma. now a ruling by the attorney general paves the way for a fresh inquest, that could see air pollution officially recorded on a death certificate for the first time. our environment correspondent, claire marshall reports. ella was a healthy baby, but as she got older she developed acute asthma. she was rushed to hospital almost 30 times in the three years before she died. she was breathing air so polluted

that it broke legal limits. her home was just 25 metres from this road, london's south circular. her mother, rosamond, walked these choked streets with her to school. she's been campaigning for illegal air pollution to be put on her daughter's death certificate, and today, she's one huge step closer. in a rare move, the attorney general has looked at ella's case and will allow an application for the inquest to be reopened. it's great and it's the right decision. and now we can get to the bottom, really, of the health impact of air pollution on young people. key to this decision was new medical evidence that linked the harmful particles and chemicals in exhaust fumes directly to ella's death. this is the kind of air pollution that ella was exposed to. you can almost taste it.

and the expert report showed that almost every time she was rushed to hospital, there had been a spike in illegal levels. and the night before she died, it had been particularly bad. human rights lawyerjocelyn cockburn has been representing the family. for me, this case gives an opportunity for those people in public office who are responsible for protecting our health and for providing clean air to be asked questions, to be held to account. air pollution in the uk has been described by a cross—party group of mps as a public health emergency. so, what were pollution levels like today? this is a monitoring device. we went out with a top expert on the streets of east london to test the air. these are the results. look at the spike when we get close to the heavy traffic. the government says it is taking concerted action, but is it enough? the movement is in the right direction.

what i'm concerned about is, it's not fast enough. imean, is. i'm interested in protecting children born in london, in birmingham and manchester today, not in ten to 15 years' time. so did air pollution help to kill ella? it's now down to the high court whether or not to allow a fresh look at all the evidence. claire marshall, bbc news. tributes have been paid to the bbc presenter, dianne oxberry, who's died suddenly after being diagnosed with cancer. she was 51. dianne was well—loved as a weather journalist and presenter on north west tonight, a job she took up on completing a meteorology degree, after beginning her career on radio, with djs steve wright and simon mayo. she was also a popular children's tv presenter. north west tonight colleague rogerjohnson said they were heartbroken by dianne's death, and it was impossible to comprehend the programme without her.

in recent years dianne was a strong campaigner for equal pay at the bbc, and woman's hour host jane garvey said dianne was a formidable voice for women and a fantastically supportive colleague. under dianne oxberry, who's died at the age of 51. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. good evening. friday has been a largely dry day and our weather watchers have been out capturing some beautiful sunsets such as this one which was taken in selsey in west sussex. we still have some clear skies out there tonight, but for most places a fairly cloudy affairwith rain around. working in on a cold front for scotland and northern ireland then patchy rain sinking into central wales in the early hours of saturday morning. not particularly cold, frost—free start to the weekend and saturday will be windier than recently with a mix of sunshine and showers and early light rain clearing from the south and plenty

of showers moving into northern and western scotland, north—west england and wales. further south and east, more likely to stay dry and mild at 9—11 on saturday. sunday is the windy day, gusts reaching 40 or 50 mph particularly north and north—west. heavy showers here but further south and east, likely to stay dry with some sunshine, highs 11 or 12 degrees. goodbye. hello this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. the headlines. the row over universal credit — four working mothers win the right to a judicial review into the way they've been paid the benefit. andy murray, one of britain's greatest ever sportsmen, says he's retiring from tennis because of injury. 1,000 jobs could go at the ford engine plant in south wales over the next two years under a major restructuring plan for the compa ny‘s

european operations. hundreds of thousands of us government workers miss their first paycheque of the year as a result of a budget row that's led to a federal government shutdown. and the family of a nine—year—old girl who died from asthma learn they can apply for a fresh inquest into her death over new evidence linking it to air pollution. today mps have spent day three of five discussing the brexit deal ahead of next tuesday's crucial vote. and, in the event that you don't watch the entire debate, we'll be selecting some of the day's key moments in the commons. well, earlier i spoke to david cornock from bbc parliament

who's been keeping an eye on proceedings, he says the focus today was very much on home affairs and immigration, one of the big issues of the 2016 referendum campaign. home secretary sajid javid said that after brexit, the era of free movement of people would be over. he is producing his own changes to the immigration system, a new law that is due to be discussed by mps next week. the bill is a key step to ending free movement once and for all. for the first time in over 40 years, we will have full control over our borders, the decisions over who comes to the uk will be firmly in our hands. we will ensure that all people coming into this country will need to have permission to do so. but control over immigration does not mean closing our door or turning our back on immigration. far from it.

our country is far stronger because of immigration. it's stronger economically, culturally, socially, stronger in every way because of immigration and i'm determined to continue to have an immigration system that welcomes the very best talent from across the world helping us to build an open, welcoming and outward looking post—brexit britain. sajid javid argued that his immigration plan would enable a government to significantly cut immigration into the uk. david explains how this argument went down with mp5. his labour shadow diane abbott question directly whether this new immigration bill, this new immigration bill, this new immigration system would indeed have any impact at all. is it really true

that the promised clamp—down in net migration is really coming? the realities mr speicher is that the white paper offers no such promise. and said it is full of assurances that businesses large and small will be able to access increase to labour overseas. there are literally dozens of these assurances. to all those who voted we weaved to an net migration, there is a possibility that they will be disappointed. she said that the deal took the uk out of key security and crime—fighting elements within the european union. but she did say that labour was determined to order the referendum result. well in last night's debate we saw some mp's coming round to support the prime minister's deal i asked david whether there have been any more switchers today? it is fairto

it is fair to say that most mps have prefixed views on the deal and of course on brexit in general. but there was a quiver of hope for the prime ministerfrom the labour benches. one labour mp talked about brexit being a divorce. he said he had been through divorce, it was expensive, it was costly. but in terms of the referendum he said voters expected the government to deliver the referendum result. the labour manifesto in 2017 said we respect the outcome of the referendum. the leader of the opposition repeated yesterday that labour would negotiate a better deal. in conclusion, i am talking myself into supporting the prime minister's deal against a no deal and against delays. i am not quite there yet but i am not far away. it seems the house isn't yet there at all. but at some point we need to

recognise the danger of no deal and all we are leaving on the table is the prime minister deal. so some good news from the labour benches was up but she still has to overcome huge opposition if she is going to get her deal through in the key votes next tuesday. so what about the smaller parties? is there any chance of them coming round to the idea of of voting for the prime minister's brexit deal? not so as you would notice the dup on who the prime minister revised for her majority, they are still pretty hostile to the deal. they are still playing hard ball. pretty hostile to the deal. they are still playing hardball. as for the lib dems, she won't be surprised to learn that all but one of their 12 mps are determined to vote against the prime minister's deal. the prime minister's deal only has 26 pages about what comes next. it's going to ta ke yea rs about what comes next. it's going to take years to get that right.

meanwhile, the air that's been sucked out of this government and our economy will continue to suffocate society, the very causes of brexit, inequality, injustice, the incomprehension of parents for why the futures for their children will not be as bright as there is, will not be as bright as there is, will continue to be ignored until this is over. and we have to be honest with them. brexit isn't going to solve any of those issues. so there is only one way to make this stop and that is a democratic exit from brexit. now, some labour mps agreed with the lib dems that there should be a second referendum on exit. but of course it is still some way off of becoming official labour party policy. well the the speaker has been at the centre of some fierce arguments this week and david explains he had an important announcement to make in the house today. john bercow is being challenged this
