you're watching bbc news at nine with me, annita mcveigh — the headlines: the uk may never leave the eu — that's what theresa may will tell brexit supporters this morning in a speech in stoke, the day before mps vote on her withdrawal deal. letters between the prime minister and eu leaders are set to be published within hours , trying to provide assurances to those who are concerned about the backstop plan for the irish border. sales of wet wood and some wood burning stoves are expected to be banned under the government's new clean air strategy for england — but environmentalists say more needs to be done to reduce pollution from cars and planes. hitachi is about to suspend the construction of a £20 billion pound nuclear reactor in north wales, according to reports. in what could be his final match before retiring, andy murray loses the first set to spaniard roberto bautista agut in the first round of the australian open. good morning and welcome

to the bbc news at 9. it's the start of a pivotal week in the brexit process and tomorrow mps will finally vote on the prime minister's withdrawal agreement. here are some of the key developments this morning. in a speech to factory workers, theresa may will issue a stark warning that if brexiteers don't back her deal, then parliament could stop the uk leaving the eu altogether. the prime minister is also expected to tell the commons she's received further reassurances from the eu about her withdrawal deal and letters between mrs may and senior eu figures about a system for preventing a return to physical checks on the irish border are expected to be published later. in the commons the penultimate day

of debate will get under way later as the government tries to win over mps. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, reports. sorry, norman! it is you. what will shift as a result of the prime minister's efforts? very little is the honest truth. there may be a trickle of mrs may's critics coming back on—board, but no seismic game change. really, the task of teen may now is to try and minimise the scale of defeat. there is a recognition that mrs may's deal is going down. the question is, by how big a defeat. the hope is that if they can minimise the scale of the defeat, they can come back with a reworked may deal marked two and try and breathe fresh life into that. but the assurances we are expecting the

pm to outline today from the eu are likely to be nips and tucks, words from the eu saying they want the backstop from the eu saying they want the ba cksto p to from the eu saying they want the backstop to be temporary, but unlikely to be anything legally binding. the speech in stoke warning that we could be staying in the eu if mps vote that mrs may's deal, it might peel off a few brexiteers, but it is not going to lead to a stampede in favour of mrs may's agreement. it was interesting this morning listening to liam fox, one of the ha rd—boiled morning listening to liam fox, one of the hard—boiled brexiteers, still in the cabinet, sounding distinctly equivocal about what was going to happen and suggesting that it is unlikely that mrs may's deal had any chance of getting through.” unlikely that mrs may's deal had any chance of getting through. i think it's unlikely that we would win the vote tomorrow, to be frank. it is not impossible, but it is unlikely. but before we leave the european union, it's possible that members of parliament will come to the conclusion that we have a duty to leave as instructed by the voters of this country. we also have a duty to

do it ina this country. we also have a duty to do it in a way that minimises any disruption to our own economy and oui’ disruption to our own economy and our trading partners in europe. so what happens when mrs may's deal goes down in flames? there are all sorts of parliamentary wheeze is under way to try and wrest power from the government and to put mps in charge of the brexit process, in particular a scheme by a group of senior tory mps to say in effect that when mrs may's deal goes down, now is the time for the senior select committee in parliament to come up with their own new brexit bill and then to put that to mps and if mps vote for it, that will be binding on mrs may. it would in effect tie mrs may's hands and she would have to go to brussels to negotiate the sort of deal that parliament wanted. there are claims at number ten that this amounts to a parliamentary coup, overturning the historic and traditional power of government to legislate and initiate

legislation, a charge denied this morning by one of the tories behind the move, nick bowles. at every stage in what we're proposing, the commons has to support it. so if the liaison committee comes forward with a plan, the commons is asked to vote on it. only if the commons supports it, in the way that it will not have done with the prime minister's deal by that point, then the government will be instructed to implement it. we live in a parliamentary democracy. mps were elected in 2017, fully a year after the referendum. if we don't trust our elected parliament to come up with a solution, who do we trust? meanwhile, what of the brexiteers? their pitch seems to be, hold your nerve. we are living on march the 29th. that is what is going to happen. esther mcvey, the former cabinet minister, said this morning that there is nothing to fear from no deal. the civil service have been working

ha rd the civil service have been working hard on no deal planning and preparation. so much of these fear stories don't exist. so we have to calmly look at what will happen on world trade organisation rules. the 39 billion that we won't be handing to europe, how do we make it work for our citizens, our businesses so that we make a smooth transition? how do we have a situation that works for both sides and an implementation period for a no deal? it's about calm preparations that have been done and explaining it clearly to the public, what will happen and how we support them. norman, for you, it must be an extraordinary day in your career. i'm loving it! never seen anything like this before. no one knows what on earth is going to happen. there isa on earth is going to happen. there

is a whole range of possible outcomes. you could have some refashioned deal which the prime minister manages at the second or third attempt to get through. you could have her agreeing some sort of softer brexit, a source of norway customs union deal. we could head to a second referendum. we could head towards a general election, and that is one of the key things which people are perhaps not looking at, but which is almost as important as mrs may's deal going down. what on earth doesjeremy corbyn do next? it's decision time for him as well. if and when mrs may's deal goes down, there is massive pressure on jeremy corbyn to table a motion of no confidence. so far, mr corbyn has been keeping his cards incredibly close to his chest. why? i suspect because he is concerned that if he does table that motion of no confidence and it fails to trigger a general election, he will inevitably be forced into backing a second

referendum, something which i surmise he is reluctant to do. so we are now getting to d—day for both the pm and thejeremy corbyn. he will have to decide, in the view of many labourmps, will have to decide, in the view of many labour mps, whether he is going to table that motion of no confidence and if it fails, whether he will back a second referendum. a second referendum can probably only realistically happen if the labour party back into. norman, we will be back to you for more on d—day later. so how could the week unfold? debate on the deal mrs may has agreed with the eu continues today and mps will vote on whether to accept it in the house of commons tomorrow evening. if — as expected — mps reject the deal, ministers have until next monday to come back to parliament with an alternative plan. but the clock is ticking down to 29th march — the day the uk formally exits the european union, which is just 11 weeks away. stay with us for all the brexit developments this morning.

at 11 we should see the exchange of letters between eu leaders and the prime minister, intended to provide reassurance to brexiteers concerned by the irish border backstop proposal and then around 11.15, we'll bring you the prime minister's speech live from stoke as she tries to win support for her deal with only a day left before the commons votes. the most polluting log burner and open fire fuels will be banned as part of an ambitious new clean air strategy to be published by the government today. the proposal also outlines plans to reduce ammonia emissions from farming and minimise pollution from the use of fertilisers. environmental campaigners say the ideas lack detail. our environment analyst roger harrabin reports. in britain's big cities, the air people breathe is often toxic. this haze is caused by tiny airborne particles. it's bad news for people with lung problems.

you can taste diesel fumes, particularly, you can feel this bitter taste in your mouth. i've even had my sons say this when they've been out cycling. and it just makes you very, very tired. whereas when you're out of a polluted area, you have a lot more energy. in the court case over 9—year—old asthma victim ella kissi—debrah, it's alleged that pollution from london's south circular road actually contributed to her death. the government has already taken some action on cars, although environmentalists say not enough. farmers are under the spotlight now. ammonia gas released from fertilisers drifts into cities and harms health. new rules will curb the pollution. home heating produces tiny sooty particles. only the cleanest woodburning stoves will be sold in future. and councils will have new powers to curb pollution from home fires. but even domestic products

cause pollution, too — new furniture, toiletries, air fresheners can all irritate the lungs. ministers want people to do their bit to reduce the risk. environmentalists want ministers to do more. roger harrabin, bbc news. i'm joined now by simon alcock from the campaign group, client earth, a group of activist lawyers which has won three court battles over the government's plans to tackle air pollution. do you think this is a good plan? it's a positive step. the big thing for us is these targets the government is talking about, putting them in line with world health organization recommendations. it is a good step but at the moment, it's just an ambition. we need to see these targets put into law in the forthcoming environment bill so they are legally binding and we can hold

the government to account. so in terms of the current aspiration, is this an effort to get industry and get consumers ready psychologically? i think it is looking at the different pollutants across different pollutants across different sectors in the economy and thatis different sectors in the economy and that is a good thing. where we are disappointed is that there is nothing on road transport. we have been breaking the law on pollution since 2010 on this. the government has a plan on road transport, but it is pretty hopeless. they have passed the buck to local authorities and local authorities are meant to be coming up with plans, but they are not. they are missing deadlines and ministers are not doing anything.“ that because they are looking across the channel to france and saying, look at the demos with their yellow vests, we don't want that? it is ha rd to vests, we don't want that? it is hard to say. the politics of this could be difficult, but it isn't rocket science. you have to take the dirtiest vehicles of the road, but help people transition to cleaner forms of transport. you can have a

scrappage scheme, you can have tax incentives to make it cleaner to buy a cleaner vehicle. the plans outlining how much it costs to the economy so that we can take action to save the economy and help people as well. we have been talking about brexit. is there a brexit element to this? there is, because the current laws we have our european laws, but the government is now saying we are going to go further than the eu. that is to be welcomed and we have campaigned for this, but we need to see that ambition translated into actual law. we will see if that is the case in the forthcoming environment bill. thanks forjoining us. a mother has died and her 8—month—old baby is in a life—threatening condition in hospital after being hit by a car in south london. the woman, believed to be in her twenties, was pushing her son in his pram when the pair were struck in penge at around 8 o'clock last night. police say the driver, who has not been arrested,

is helping with their inquires. andy murray has opened his campaign at the australian open and is playing what could be his last ever match, as the former world number one indicated last week that his injury may force him to retire. the wimbledon champion is taking on spain's roberto bautista agut in the first round. these fans in melbourne have travelled to watch. it's tinged with sadness, because i do think that it will be andy's last time at a grand slam. so i'm just breaking my heart. i have to be there to witness this event. fantastic player. i'm excited. i'm looking forward to the game. but a bit nervous as well, yeah. massive fan of andy murray. andy murray comes from dunblane and we only live 20 miles apart back in scotland. i've come all the way. came to brisbane, came to melbourne. i'm cheering on andy murray. come on, andy! yeah, it's going to be hard for him. mentally, he's probably in a weird

place and physically, he's not comfortable with his body. but he's got enough quality that if he turns up and plays his best game, he hopefully can get through to the next round. if he wants to do the ceremonial appearance and one last bow in front of this crowd, i understand it. i don't know if he would want to turn up and just be a bit part player or whether he will want to be in with a chance to do something special. that would be his decision. i don't know what i would do. it's been so good to have somebody who is such a great ambassador of scotland and of tennis in general in the uk. to be so good at something, we don't often have great sports players. we're always the underdog, so it's been nice to have someone who can do it well and get the whole country behind them. and in the past few moments, andy murray has lost the first set and is on serve in the second. fingers crossed for him.

the headlines on bbc news... the uk may never leave the eu — that's what theresa may will tell brexit supporters this morning in a speech in stoke, the day before mps vote on her withdrawal deal. letters between the prime minister and eu leaders are set to be published within hours, trying to provide assurances to those who are concerned about the backstop plan for the irish border. sales of wet wood and some wood burning stoves are expected to be banned under the government's new clean air strategy for england. here are your sports headlines. as you have been hearing, andy murray is on court at the moment in melbourne, playing roberto bautista agut in his first match since announcing his retirement. he lost the first set and appears to be struggling in the second. manchester united caretaker manager ole gunnar solskjaer says his side we re ole gunnar solskjaer says his side were excellent after they beat totte n ha m were excellent after they beat

tottenham1—0, david the hair with no less than 11 slaves! and england's netballers equal their best win over new zealand in their opening match at the quad series, winning by 54—41. head coach tracey neville said the victory sets the tone for the series. i will be back with more on those stories in 20 minutes' time. i will see you then. it's being reported that the japanese firm, hitachi, is about to halt construction of a £20 billion nuclear reactor in north wales. it's thought work will be suspended at the plant this week. hitachi says no formal decision has been made. i am joined by our business presenter, katie prescott. this is an important story about how the uk will keep the lights on, how

we satisfy our energy needs over the next decade. this power station was one of three that were planned for the uk. last year, toshiba cancelled one of them. if this is cancelled this week, it will be the second, leaving us with hinkley point in somerset, funded by edf, the french firm. it's being cancelled really because of money. hitachi has already put up £2 billion towards the reactor and they need to find 20, as you said. they couldn't find investment from private investors, and the uk government doesn't seem to have put up the rest of the money, so that is why it has been put on hold. but everyone needs the lights on, so why isn't that the investment? some analysts are saying it could be to do with brexit. the focus has been on sorting out what is happening over the next couple of months rather than on looking at our energy future. but people are also saying the energy market has changed since this was first agreed. renewable energy has become a lot cheaper. we are developing new technology and things like batteries, so perhaps our energy

future will be slightly away from nuclear. the mix will be different. what about the jobs question? nuclear. the mix will be different. what about the jobs question7m looks like 400 jobs might go. as you can imagine, the unions are watching this closely. they are anxious about what might happen. we will have to wait and see until the board meeting tomorrow in tokyo. it is a public holiday today in japan. the japanese prime minister was herejust holiday today in japan. the japanese prime minister was here just last week standing shoulder to shoulder with theresa may. the optics of this are not ideal. it is difficult and it is one of the points the union have been making today. they are saying, why didn't theresa may discuss it with him? apparently, she didn't. the government is a bit tight—lipped about it. they say it isa tight—lipped about it. they say it is a commercial decision and it is sensitive and discussions are ongoing. an hinkley point was controversial with the french chinese involvement. and given the increasing security questions about chinese involvement in critical

infrastructure, are we becoming overreliant on one particular supplier? i don't think that is necessarily the issue. one of the controversies of a hinkley point was the amount we spent, what is called the amount we spent, what is called the strike price, the amount we agreed to pay for the energy. that is one of the reasons these negotiations with hitachi have been difficult, because the uk government has been wary of saying, we are going to put loads of money into this, when actually things on the energy picture might look different going forward. thanks very much. an artist whose vision deteriorated after lens replacement surgery is one of dozens of people considering legal action against the manufacturer, oculentis. denise de batista said she developed blind patches in one eye after having lens replacement. the bbc has been told that there have been 800 cases of patients who received oculentis lenses experiencing "opacification", a clouding of the lens due to calcium deposits. our legal correspondent clive coleman reports. for artist denise di battista, her vision is her life

and her livelihood. in 2010, she had a routine eye operation to replace both her natural lenses and improve her sight. but a few years later, the vision in her right eye unexpectedly started to deteriorate. i got almost blind patches. when i look with my right eye, i really can't see at all. denise doesn't have a problem with black and white contrast, but she does with colours and tones. light with her left eye, compared to the vision in her with her good left eye, compared to the vision in her affected right eye. when she learned that there was an issue with the lens, it was devastating. i was very, very shocked. when i came out of the consulting room, my daughter was waiting for me. she said that i was ever so shocked. the lenses denise received were made by the european manufacturer oculentis.

but from 2009, reports emerged that a small number of patients were experiencing what's known as opacification, a mistiness caused by calcium deposits on some lenses. while this is a known risk with lens replacement, oculentis investigated and decided to recall unused stock of the type of lens that denise had. there's no suggestion that any of the company's lenses currently available lenses are affected. sheraz daya is a leading eye surgeon who has tried to help patients like denise. a percentage of lenses have had problems with deposits of calcium on the surface that only become evident five to seven years later, when they accumulate enough to obscure vision. oculentis has paid for surgeons like sheraz daya to replace the lenses concerned. it says half of all patients affected have had lenses exchanged.

cataract operations are the most common operation in the uk, with hundreds of thousands of us having them every year. oculentis has withdrawn the affected batch of lenses, but the problems of opacification in their lenses have occurred in some 800 cases and that is a very small proportion, but it does representjust the ones that the company knows about. in a statement, oculentis told the bbc: that it regrets any complications following implants of its lenses, and says: denise is nervous about having her lens replaced, as the procedure's not routine and not all eye surgeons will do it. so the land and seascapes that she loves and paints are, for the moment, clouded and obscured

and she's considering legal action. three people have been killed and a fourth is missing after an avalanche near the austrian ski resort of lech. austria has been hit by record snowfall in the past week and there have been more than 20 weather related deaths across parts of the alps so far this month. bethany bell reports. mountain regions in austria are used to snow, but this is extreme. days of heavy snowfall are taking their toll. three skiers from germany were killed in an avalanche in lech. their bodies were found on a ski route that had been closed off because of the danger of avalanches. a fourth person is still missing. translation: we decided to cancel the search because it had become too dangerous. we know how the weather will develop, so we can probably initiate the search

again on wednesday. the risk of more avalanches is very high. some ski resorts and mountain villages have had to be evacuated. other areas are snowed in. these firefighters near the town of kleinzell in central austria are working round the clock to clear snow from homes and buildings. the snow is very heavy, and there is a real risk that this roof could cave in. translation: it's quite dangerous work. as you can see, all the men are harnessed because you could easily slip off while coming down. so the risk is relatively high. driving conditions are treacherous. it's a struggle to keep the streets clear. underneath this white blanket is a tarmac road. this area hasn't seen this much snow in well over a decade. in neighbouring germany, the army has been brought in to help clear the roads. and people here are bracing themselves for more. heavy snow is forecast over the next few days. lucky customers of the airline

cathay pacific have scored first—class seats at economy prices, making it the second fare blunder by the airline in less than a fortnight. tickets from hong kong to portugal with a london layover of $16,000 which is usually charged for a similarjourney. in a moment, the weather but first, here's victoria derbyshire with what she's got coming up in her programme at ten: courtney bowden was four months old when attacked by her own father, leaving her profoundly disabled. now aged 20, she is officially classed

as homeless despite being awarded £500,000 in compensation for her injuries. she can't use it for a home, because her own mum, her cell carer, would benefit. we were talked about in an exclusive interview. join us at ten on bbc two, the bbc news channel and online. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom to carol. today, it is going to be colder than yesterday. that is how we start this week. but it does turn mother mid week. but it does turn mother mid week before turning colder again by the end of the week. first thing this morning, there is a fair bit of cloud around producing showers through yorkshire and lincolnshire. we will also have showers through cheshire and merseyside. they will fade and it will brighten up with sunny spells for england and wales, whereas northern ireland and scotla nd whereas northern ireland and scotland will remain cloudy, with some breaks in the east and also

some breaks in the east and also some showers. tonight there will be some showers. tonight there will be some holes in the cloud. there will also be rain across the north of scotland. some of it will be heavy and it is going to be breezy. no problems with frost. temperatures in scotla nd problems with frost. temperatures in scotland will actually go up overnight. tomorrow, we are looking again for breaks in the cloud. there will be some sunshine. still some rain in the north, but temperatures a little higher than today. hello, this is bbc news with carrie gracey. the headlines... the uk may never leave the eu — that's what theresa may will tell brexit supporters this morning in a speech in stoke — the day before mps vote on her withdrawal deal. letters between the prime minister and eu leaders are set to be published within hours trying to provide assurances to those who are concerned about the backstop plan for the irish border.

some wood burning stoves are expected to be banned under the government's new clean air strategy for england — but environmentalists say more needs to be done to reduce pollution from cars and planes. hitachi is about to suspend the construction of a 20—billion pound nuclear reactor in north wales, according to reports. time now for the morning briefing, we bring you up to speed with the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. with just a day remaining before mps vote on theresa may's brexit plan — there's little sign the prime minister has the support she needs. over the weekend, she warned that not voting for her deal could mean no brexit at all. with labour vowing to table a vote of no confidence if mrs may loses, it's set to be another extraordinary week in westminster. voices from across the political spectrum have been weighing in this morning with where they stand

on mrs may's brexit deal ahead of that crunch vote in the commons tomorrow. i will be voting against her deal, but a lot of people have talked about opposing a problem for the integrity of the united kingdom, particularly the irish border between northern ireland and the republic. ultimately it will do great harm to our economy, the prime minister herself has admitted will make us less well off by giving us less market access and that will be bad for my constituents. we've got the licenses in place so that medicines can come to and fro. we also know that because we will be in charge of our borders things will be imported into the country, because we are in charge of that, and those stories that you're talking about there, whether it'sjohn major, matt hancock or the chancellor, they are arch remainers — they voted remain, and they're wanting to turn around the vote of the people. what happened was parliament and the house of lords said,

"let the people have a say." people had a say, and said "we want to leave the eu." and then it's up to parliament, civil servants, all of us, to work together and get that sorted. when we as mps voted, we have the same when we as mps voted, we have the sa m e vote when we as mps voted, we have the same vote as everyone when we as mps voted, we have the same vote as everyone else. when we as mps voted, we have the same vote as everyone else. we have to recognise we have a contract with the british public and we have to honour that contract and leave the eu as instructed, the question is how do we do it and i think the best way is to back the deal the prime minister has set out. it doesn't give us everything we want but in no negotiation with that be likely to happen. the question is whether we can provide enough reassurance or i mps over the nature of the backstop and that it will be temporary. all the information so far is that the deal will go down, it would have

gone down a month ago, she dilated to get more support, get more assurances, that doesn't seem to have worked, let's get on and vote this thing down and we will consider position with regards to a no—confidence motion. if we vote for the deal we will be permanently tied to the customs union, to the eu's regulatory model, we have to continue to accept loss from brussels, we will be rule takers, that's not the way forward for the country. as icy you can make a case for britain signing up for a federal europe asjohn major was, that's fine, 17 point for million people voted to leave. it's thought better portion control

could result in people being healthier and save customers money and be better for the healthier and save customers money and be betterfor the environment as less food will be wasted. here are some of the ways you can measure out what you eat. here's a whole load of food that will help us explain things better. first up, the handful, redford measuring rice and pasta. two things which probably catch people out the most. the correct awesome for these guys is jew handfuls. spaghetti is different to other pasta, you use the o, jew handfuls. spaghetti is different to other pasta, you use the 0, no bigger than a pound coin, much that band is your portion. sorry good way to measure cheese. one portion is two thumbs. then there is the best, perfect for measuring potatoes. one portion is roughly a fist. when it comes to meat and fish, you want a coop piece to be about half the size of your hand. instagram has been left

shell—shocked by a photo of an egg which has become the platform's most—liked post of all time. this is the egg in question. more than 24 million accounts have liked this egg as of this morning, and it continues to recieve likes at a rapid pace. it is not yet clear know who posted the egg on january the fourth, why it was posted, or why this attempt to set a record actually worked. but what is for certain is that the egg has dethroned previous record holder kyliejenner — whose picture of her new baby has around eighteen point two million likes. in response to the mysterious success of the egg, missjenner has clearly had enough — or ‘an oeuf‘, you might say — and posted a video in which she seeks to exact her revenge. that's it for today's morning briefing. before we finish the morning briefing, i have to get used to

doing this, no surprise that it's brexit. loss of sound the second vote, down near the bottom, there's what happens next, the timeline, the brexitjargon guide as well as what the others are saying with party leaders, notjust the others are saying with party leaders, not just the the others are saying with party leaders, notjust the main parties but also the snp and the lib dems as well. that's the top story and the most read. we also mentioned cathay pacific, the lucky travellers who managed to get a seat from portugal to hong kong and back again, a of the advertised price for a first—class flights. it paid $1512 instead of $16,000. and going down, zoe ball in there as well, radio 2, her first zoe ball in there as well, radio 2, herfirst morning, laying a zoe ball in there as well, radio 2, her first morning, laying a wreath

of franklin as her first song, a her first morning, laying a wreath of franklin as herfirst song, a lot of franklin as herfirst song, a lot of speculation as to what it will be. respect was the winner. down on most watched, measuring food with you this, we've been talking about that as well. this is the new idea for how you use your hand pam, for meat. i think you use an ok sign for, let's see if you can see that going alongside, a palm, a fist, a thumb or cheese and ok sign, pound coin sized all you make that your fingers to work out how much is spaghetti you are using, handfuls for pasta and cereal. anyway, let us know that you think that's going to work but check it out, and see whether you think that will help you manage your portion sizes better. that's the morning briefing for today. the prime minister will today make

a statement in the house of commons following further re—assurances she has recieved from the eu about her brexit deal. immigration is the issue that defined the eu referendum — but who should we let into the uk once we leave the eu? the logistics sector has a severe shortage of lorry drivers and an ageing workforce, many companies have become reliant on eastern european drivers. but as brexit approaches, transport bosses say they'll struggle to find the workers they need to transport the uk's food, medicines and raw materials. out business correspondent, sarah corker, reports. they are the people who keep our shop shelves stacked, parcels delivered and trade moving. normally iam in delivered and trade moving. normally i am in france at least once a week. but there is a severe shortage of lorry drivers, an estimated 52,000

vacancies. so many people retiring. not many coming into it. paying two, two and have ground to get your hgv licence, not many people want to do that. for decades european lorry drivers have filled the gap making up drivers have filled the gap making up 13% of all uk truckers but brexit means some like this man are leaving. moving things upstairs. after 12 years this is his last day in england. you don't want us any more in the uk. since except the prices have gone up. start to be ha rd prices have gone up. start to be hard living here as well. future immigration rules could make it harderfor eu drivers immigration rules could make it harder for eu drivers to work here. migrants could have to earn at least £30,000 before they are allowed to come to britain on five—year business. those skilled migrants can get temporary one—year visas they havejobs. get temporary one—year visas they have jobs. it confirmed our worst fears, there will be this cap 30,000

threshold salary, smaller hauliers and hgv drivers who are starting out won't be earning those salaries. we could lose access to quite a significant number of drivers. labour shortages aren't the only concern, the moment we have frictionless, free—flowing trade with europe, complex supply chain is perfect that over many decades and some businesses now see delays and disruption at the ports, especially in the south of england is inevitable. if we have a so-called harsh brexit and become out of the customs union that will give us some severe indigestion over a period of months, possibly longer. what do you make of how the government is handling all of this?” make of how the government is handling all of this? i think we've been badly let down by this generation of politicians. brexiteers argued those economic concerns can be overcome. back on the road pic explains why he voted

out. i want england to be great again and we are not. we are under eu regulations, telling us how to run the country. at the port of halt this man says farewell to live in england. i think brexit will change everyone's life. this is the biggest shake—up of the immigration system for decades, as mrs want the changes will send ripples through the country. sport now and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here's sally nugent. how is andy murray getting on? you will not want to hear this. andy murray is on court at the australian open in what we fear could be his last competitive match, after that emotional admission on friday that his hip injury was forcing him to retire this season. he is two sets down. to roberto bautista agut

and although he looks to be moving relatively freely during play, between points he is clearly struggling with that hip. we have seen some murray magic though. taking its toll. look at that. seems to be struggling to walk. so hard to see him fighting back from that position. i have to tell you also, his mum is in the crowd at the moment, the atmosphere is electric. everybody willing him on. i will of course keep you up—to—date throughout this bulletin with the very latest on the score in australia. there's been huge disappointment for britain's number one kyle edmund, who is out. he reached the semi—finals in australia last year but he really struggled today, losing in straight there's been huge disappointment for britain's he reached the semi—finals in australia last year but he really struggled today, losing in straight sets to tomas berdych. edmund looked heavy—legged in the heat and only managed one break point all match.

but dan evans is through to the second round, after a straight sets win over japan's tatsuma ito — and he'll be meeting none other than roger federer next, if federer gets past denis istomin later on. and there was a great win for katie boulter, who knocked out ekatarina makarova, but heather watson, harriet dart and cameron norrie are all out. it's now six wins from six for ole gunnar solskjaer as caretaker manager of manchester united, after they beat tottenham 1—0 at wembley — marcus rashford scored the goal but it was goalkeeper david de gea who really made the difference, asjoe lynskey reports: in the second half of this match david geyer stopped top scoring 11 times, that's the most says in a single match all season. even his team—mates couldn't fathom it. this isa team—mates couldn't fathom it. this is a united team with a new manager and new confidence. layers like paul pogba are dry passes like this.

right in the stride of marcus rushford. ratchford for manchester united. 1-0. is the finish of a man the previous boss said lost his cool in front of goal, he's scored now in three straight league games. that was the breakaway, time for the barrage, to keep spurs out david geyer needed every fingertip and both feet. this point—blank adjustment on the goal—line. what a second—half display its spin. there would be plenty to choose from, harry caine and delhi ali both tried but this was a day for de gea. we have a tradition of fantastical keepers and he has grown and grown, he deserves that man of the match today. amidst united joy it was a heavy bloopers first title hopes and to make things worse they watched harry kane struggled limping off the

field. we are worried about that. his ankle, he twisted it. we hope it is not a big issue. we hope it will not be a big problem for us. this match had been billed as both managers audition to be the next united boss, it brought one inspired performance. de gea's team—mates were quick to show their gratitude luke shaw posted this brilliant cartoon — victor lindelof put up a picture with "this guy" ander herrera knows his place — "student—teacher", he says and nemanja matic warns "beware we are taking over — huge win tonight — david de gea was on fire". de gea's performance dominates today's back pages the guardian headline the goalkeepers quote that people were now seeing "the real manchester united" ... the mirror say de gea is "a keeper",

after those eleven saves and there's that stance again in the daily express, who're also reporting at the top there that there'll be a statue of andy murray at wimbledon, to go with the bronze of fred perry that was unveiled in 1984. england netball manager tracey neville said their win over new zealand set the tone for the rest of the quad series. the 54—41 victory equalled their best win over new zealand, with south africa and australia the other teams involved. it's all part of the build—up to the world cup injuly, which will be held at the same venue in liverpool — so that bodes well. what was really important night was the crowd and i said to the girls, if you want a feeling of winning you've got to do it in front of your own crowd and i think that something

they went out and tried to implement. the crowd was instrumental when we went a little bit flat and giving us energy, this venue is absolutely exceptional for us. a little update, i can tell you andy murray has broken back in the third set, losing the first two, 2—2 games in the third set. that's all the sport for now. more from the bbc sport centre at 1115. we will keep you right up to date. sally, thank you, we are willing and dion. —— we are willing andy on. the headlines on bbc news... the uk may never leave the eu — that's what theresa may will tell brexit supporters this morning in a speech in stoke —— the day before mps vote on her withdrawal deal. letters between the prime minister and eu leaders are set to be published within hours trying to provide assurances to those who are concerned about the backstop plan for the irish border.

sales of wet wood and some wood burning stoves are expected to be banned under the government's new clean air strategy for england the prime minister will today make a statement in the house of commons following further re—assurances she has received from the eu about her brexit deal. theresa may will publish an exchange of letters between the prime minister and the president of the european commission, jean claude juncker and the president ot the european council, donald tusk — seeking to address the fears of mps over the norther ireland backstop and how the uk would be able to exit it. let's speak to our europe correspondent damian grammaticas who is in brussels... what do we expect in these letters? the letters have been a very closely guarded secret. we know there's been back and forth survived the last few days and weeks in order to draft them. the prime minister before christmas said she was looking for something. what we expect in the

next hour or so we might get a first sight of them and the eu side, it appears at likely to issue these reassu ra nces appears at likely to issue these reassurances but only ones that will say that this backstop is not an optimal solution, it's not something the eu is seeking to trap the uk in or that it returns or expects will last indefinitely. but the eu will not, it seems, provide any sort of legal reassurance, that's the best understanding and the likelihood the eu has said this all along, they will not re—negotiate what has already agreed, it will not re—negotiate the withdrawal agreement or backstop, the letter is like to reiterate that but it is likely to say it will make its best endeavours to try and ensure a trade deal is negotiated quickly to obviate the need for a backstop in the first place but none of that really is a fundamental change from the position we are ready in. of

course mps, or those concerned about the backstop are demanding a fundamental change, this, isuppose, is not going to be enough for westminster, it sounds. it looks unlikely. we will see the content of the letters in an hour or so but yes, there is a difficulty here because the backstop itself is a legal guarantee, that's the whole point of it, is to guarantee that there would be a return to border controls on the island of ireland to protect the good friday agreement and peace process. so it can be contradicted, the eu says, by any other sort of guarantee that we limit itand other sort of guarantee that we limit it and that is the difficulty theresa may faces. but i think what we will see is the eu trying to do everything it can to extend everything, every sort of helping hand possible, because it wants to see the withdrawal agreement go through and eight managed deal signed, so there is a managed departure for the uk, that's the

eu's overriding concern but at the moment, i think this is as far as the eu is prepared to go. the other headline coming out of brussels —— brussels of the european camp is the suggestion they are bedded thinking about providing the uk with a delay on article 50. —— they are already thinking. the focus is being put on this recently. i think what we should be clear about here is that it would not be any sort of a delay, the sunni two options open from the eu side in this. one is to withdraw the letter saying the uk wanted to leave the eu, to cancel brexit, that's an option open to the uk but the other option is to ask for an extension to article 50. but the eu side still would have to agree to that, all 27 countries unanimously and the request would have to come from the uk. the suggestions are in

the last few days that this is being talked about more, i think that simply reflects the fact the eu, as i've seen, keen to avoid a no deal except, a disorderly archer and would look burry carefully at any request to prolong above for a specific reason like perhaps, say a referendum, an election, something definite. thank you. malala yousafzai was 15 years old when she was shot and nearly killed by the taliban in pakistan. 6 and a half years later, she's a nobel peace prize winner, and has now written a book called — we are displaced — in which she tells her own story and shares the journeys of other young female refugees who have been forced from their homes. here she is talking to our arts correspondent rebecca jones. (tx vt) i have met many refugee girls in my trips around the world,

i have been to refugee camps and informal settlements and i've heard these inspiring stories from these refugee girls but on the other hand, i hear in the news different stories about refugees, numbers and figures. we hear about refugees and immigrants but we never hear from them, especially young women and girls. you know what it's like to be displaced, you were shot by the taliban in 2012 for speaking out about girls‘ education, you were brought to birmingham for treatment and you've been in the uk ever since. can you give us a sense of how difficult it was to adjust to life in a different country? in school, talking to friends, i found it so difficult. they would laugh at slightly differentjokes than i would, and when i would say something, they wouldn't laugh. it's the cultural differences. i would say, like, sometimes you would be quiet, sometimes you would pick up a book and pretend you are reading. you are just finding it difficult to have a conversation and now it's completely different. i made lots of friends and i am proudly brummie as well but it's different at the start.

what does brummie proudly entail? i am proud of birmingham, i love the city, it's a welcoming, diverse place and a lucky accent and a love the people of birmingham and i call myself brummie. your foundation, campaigning for girls education and juggling your own education. you are at your second year in oxford university. how do you fit it all in? it is a lot of work but i'm studying a ppe at lmh in oxford. which is politics, philosophy and economics. yes, and i'm enjoying it. you are not a machine, though. you must switch off, how do you relax? do you watch tv? yes, we do watch tv programmes. i recently watched the good place and also some comedy shows. i recently watched the black adder. i'm a big fan of british comedy.

i recently watched yes, minister. and also mind your language. that does go back a long way. ah yes, a very long way. i find it funny. i know it would not be welcomed in the same way but i find it very funny. in terms of your university room, you keep your room tidy? i try my best. when my mum comes to the university and sees my room, she tell me to make it tidier. thank you so much. it's been lovely to talk to you. thank you so much. just one last story. an unholy row has broken out in italy between the roman catholic church and the mayor of rome,

over what should happen to coins retrieved from the capital's famous trevi fountain. throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain, the legend says, and you will one day return to the eternal city. around 1.3 million pounds, in small change, is scooped out each year, and given to a catholic charity that helps the poor. following a council ruling, the mayor will take control of the funds to help maintain the city's cultural assets. time for a look at the weather. here is simon. we ended the weekend on a mild and windy node. a bit of frost across northern areas. a lovely sunrise this morning in perth, kinross. a weather front trailing the eastern side of england, sending some showers. this one from moving into western parts, introducing workload across northern ireland,

it's10 o'clock. i'm victoria derbyshire. the prime minister makes last ditch efforts to boost support for her brexit withdrawal agreement 24 hours ahead of that crucial vote in the commons. she warns mps that if they don't back her deal, they risk there being no brexit at all. here's her international trade secretary. having made a contract with the british public on the issue, we have to honour that contract and we have to honour that contract and we have to leave the european union as instructed. the question is, how do we do it? and i think the best way to do that is to back the deal that the prime minister has set out. how do you want your mp to vote tomorrow? let me know.
