able to do but it was discovering these a0 hours of rubin carter's cassettes because we have spoken to pretty much everyone involved. rubin carter passed away in 201a so we couldn't talk to him but through these tapes he made in the years leading up to his death, when he was interviewed he was very flamboyant and excitable, but this is the real rubin carter and he is a proper antihero, a dark character, there are great sides to his personality and not such great and that's what fascinated me as we do on this journey. he spent a long time in prison. when you set out to tell the story, was it with the aim of trying to prove he was wrongfully convicted orjust to to prove he was wrongfully convicted or just to tell the story and leave that to the listeners? when i start i thought i was making an hour—long documentary about how she was framed

by racist police officers but only when i discovered there was so much more to discourage, this became a podcast and then when we found the tapes we were away because when you have a0 hours of this material on these tiny cassettes, it's difficult to get that in a short programme. i wasn't trying to prove anything. everybody has a very strong view who knows this story, they either believe he is innocent or guilty but we are coming at it from an objective perspective, it's about meeting people like the man who was convicted alongside rubin carter, one of the only people to speak to lots of different interviewees we have in this series. nobody had spoken to the cops ought to the prosecutors but we've got them as well, so while we are taking this objective stance by the end of this

series we will come to a firm conclusion about what happened that night. and the first two of those episodes are available to download now from bbc sounds. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. you're watching bbc news. theresa may has been warning mps that voting against her eu withdrawal agreement could lead to the break—up of the united kingdom. speaking in the commons in the last hour, the prime minister said a letterfrom senior eu officials had given further reassurances about the deal, and the so—called irish backstop designed to avoid physical checks on the irish border. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, accused the government of presiding over a complete shambles. the international trade

secretarty liam fox has opened the brexit withdrawal bill debate this evening. for much of the day there have been questions to the prime minister after her statement. she spent the beginning of the day at stoke, addressing factory workers and outlining why her deal was the right one for britain and white mps should vote it in tomorrow in that crucial vote. —— and white mps should vote for it. with me now is the conservative mp charles walker, who also chairs the procedure committee, which considers the practice and procedure of the house of commons so what do you make of what you have seenin so what do you make of what you have seen in the commons? for the last 18

months all sides in this debate are playing fast and loose with procedure and that is causing a degree of upset. what's the most egregious thing you have seen? everybody has to take some responsibility. the government decided not to vote on labour opposition motions, then you had labour forcing the government to publish its legal advice which is not in the national interest and set a dangerous precedent. you have backbenchers talking about now handing over, and this is the biggest nonsense i have heard, negotiations on brexit over to the liaison committee, i am a member and neither is the rest of the committee. i am neither is the rest of the committee. iam not neither is the rest of the committee. i am not qualified. we in

uncharted waters, we have never had to go through this before, everyone is feeling their way. they are not feeling their way very well. parliament should march to procedure, not the other way around. procedure undermines our democracy and to play fast and loose you take yourself into dangerous places and thatis yourself into dangerous places and that is what we are now doing. procedure cannot be preserved in aspect but it is best addressed and amended outside periods of great turmoil, outside the feel of combat. what did you make ofjohn bercow‘s actions last week? many of your viewers will note that the speaker isa viewers will note that the speaker is a great friend of mine, i did raise a few eyebrows and it raised some other eyebrows and i know this is something the procedure committee

will look at along with many other things in the coming weeks to do with procedure and how it is being subverted. ed miliband said that the government is the servant of parliament, he was right, wasn't he? parliament, he was right, wasn't he? parliament has been outstanding over the last few months telling the country what it isn't in favour of but it has been hopeless at describing to my constituency what it is in favour of. parliament is in danger of looking like us failing institution, this is farfrom its finest are, you have marauding groups of mps opposing different versions of brexit or second referendums and parliament is not rejecting particularly well at the moment. but i wonder, whose fault is this? we all have to take personal

responsibility. so everyone is to blame, everyone has ignored procedure is so how do you sort it out? not everyone has ignored procedure is but i am arguing they are importantand procedure is but i am arguing they are important and you set them aside at your peril but each member of parliament in this process has to ta ke parliament in this process has to take responsibility for their actions and i think many of your viewers would think this is not parliament's finest are. they might think we elected parliament to make difficult decisions and it seems unable to make any diesel version now. we saw voters around the country saint parliament looks finalised —— paralysed, we are a laughing stock. that is what your viewers are saying and my concerns are in line with theirs, i might not

use such rosy language but many of your viewers and the chair of the procedure committee are pointing in the same direction. we're in uncharted territory. is the problem that procedures are not fit for purpose in this instant respect procedures are absolutely fit for purpose. this is the longest standing parliament in the world and oui’ standing parliament in the world and our procedure is underpinned the procedures we rely on so i will not brook any argument that they are not fit for purpose. do you want to see an inquiry after this is over? we are having one, i am chair of the procedure committee and we will look at this. procedure is best changed in the cold light of day and not in the heat of battle. you do not make good procedure decisions when the

sta kes a re good procedure decisions when the stakes are very high. and most people are culpable in this? many of my colleagues are culpable in this. thank you, the chair of the procedure committee. time for beyond 100 days, but the weather first. you are watching beyond 100 days. theresa may prepares to talk to her party tonight with little sign she is one and support for her brexit deal. ahead of the critical vote in parliament the prime minister says you —— leaving the eu with no deal could break up parliament. she's not seem able to be sure any brexiteers but she still says her deal is the best there is a. i also took members on all sides of the house, whatever you have previously concluded, over the next 24 hours give this deal a second look. though it is not perfect and yes, it is a copper misys. president trump denies ever working for russia after a stunning
