of high ridge of high pressure responsible for the sunshine. it will be a cold night on thursday night across many central and eastern areas but this next weather front will bring rain, sleet and snow into the west by friday morning. it will work eastwards and we could see some sleet and snow at lower levels in the day across central and southern scotland, perhaps into wales and the south—west of england. this is one to watch because it could cause issues for the evening commute. further east could be dry with hazy sunshine but again you will be cold. the rain, sleet and snow continues eastwards and fizzling out but it could cause issues like i mentioned, as it pushes into central areas. then at the weekend, it looks like the area of low pressure will fizzle out and should stay chilly but we should see some good spells of sunshine, on sunday. in the government leading to this appeal by the prime minister to the other parties. the house has put its confidence in this government. i stand ready... i stand ready to work with any member of this house to deliver

on brexit and ensure that this house retains the confidence of the british people. before there can be any positive discussions about the way forward, the government... the government must remove, must remove clearly, once and for all, the prospect of the catastrophe of a no—deal brexit from the eu. we'll have reports on the day's events, and reaction from westminster and beyond. also, in tonight's programme. gunfire in kenya, 21 people are now confirmed dead, after an attack by islamist militants, on a hotel complex, in the capital nairobi. and an old baileyjury is told that a pilot whose plane crashed at the shoreham airshow, killing 11 people, had a cavalier attitude to safety. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news. good evening from westminster,

where the government has survived a motion of no—confidence tabled by labour a day after the prime minister suffered the worst parliamentary defeat in history on her brexit agreement. a look at the figures. a total of 325 mps voted to declare confidence in theresa may's government, they included the dup from northern ireland. there were 306 votes against the government, including labour and other opposition parties. that meant a government majority of 19 votes. the prime minister has now invited leaders of all parties to meet her, to explore the way ahead on brexit, but labour'sjeremy corbyn

said it was essential, in his view, that mrs may rule out any prospect of leaving the eu without a deal. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports on the confidence vote and its aftermath. the ayes to the right, 306. the noes to the left, 325. "wow, " labour mps say. theresa may is safe for now. the government claiming the latest obstacle. speaker: order. the - minister. help her find a way out through the brexit maze. over the coming days

and i would like to invite the leaders of the parliamentary parties to meet with me individually and i would like to start these meetings tonight. mr speaker, the government approaches these meetings in a constructive spirit and i urge others to do the same. but we must find solutions that are negotiable and command sufficient support in this house. i stand ready to work with any member of this house to deliver on brexit and ensure that this house retains the confidence of the british people. members call out "hear, hear" but no, not yet, he says. before there can be any positive discussions about the way forward, the government must remove clearly, once and for all, the prospect of the catastrophe of a no—deal brexit from the eu and all the chaos that would come as a result of that. and i invite the prime minister to confirm now that the government will not

countenance a no—deal brexit from the european union. no love lost with labour but the snp and we have to agree to enter into these talks on the basis that we can move forward and achieve a result which will unify all the nations of the united kingdom. we want to deliver brexit, taking back control of our laws, our borders and our money, and we leave the european union as one country. let us work in the coming days to achieve that objective. but when this place has become a pit of angry argument, what compromise can really be found? theresa may survived this far byjuggling all sides in this circus. now cabinet ministers are openly suggesting she should junk one of her vows to move on, considering a closer customs relationship with the eu than the one the tories promised. you're not ruling out some kind of customs union?

at what the options are and what leave the european union but we do so with a deal. but cabinet ministers are facing different ways. listen to one of his colleagues plainly rejecting that. being in a customs union is compatible with the type of brexit that i want to see, which sets us on a course of having an independent trade policy. a customs union means no independent trade policy. would you resign if that was the compromise the prime minister pursued? everybody just loves to ask these questions! but it matters, liam fox. i have set out the substance. it is not about us, for me it is about the substance. compromise can be a dirty word around here. there is no shortage,

certainly, of clashing ideas or imitated suggestions being put forward to the prime minister by friends and enemies. but in the end, it is up to her to decide which might be a dangerous dead end or a realistic way out. remember, she is there because tory divisions claimed one of her number. obviously, i regret that we lost that referendum, i deeply regret that, i was leading the campaign to stay in the european union and obviously i regret the difficulties and the problems we have been having trying to implement the result of that referendum. but i don't think it's going to be helped by me giving a running commentary. i support the prime minister, i support her aim to have a partnership deal with europe, that's what needs to be put in place. he: at lent maeaaéé ~ ~

that was laura kuenssberg. we will talk to laura in a few minutes. just over half an hour ago the prime minister emerged in downing street outside no 10, basically, to reinforce the message that she had given in the house of commons a little earlier and to say a little more about the way she was hoping to make contact with leaders of the other parties, including, crucially, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn, who has his own view, of course come on what the conditions should be for any talks. let's listen to what the prime minister said. there are flashing images coming up. i have just held constructive meetings with the leader of the liberal democrats and the westminster leaders of the snp and plaid cymru.

from tomorrow, meetings will be taking place between senior government representatives, including myself, and groups of mps who represent the widest possible range of views from across parliament, including our confidence and supply partners, the democratic unionist party. i am disappointed that the leader of the labour party has not so far chosen to take part. but our door remains open. it's time for us to come together, put the national interest first, and deliver on the referendum. that was the prime minister in downing street a short while ago. laura is with me now. what do we make of the message the prime minister gave in the commons which reinforced the shape of the kind of talking she wants to happen. what can we make of it? we cannot be sure yet, she is trying to make it difficult and awkward forjeremy corbyn, if this really is a time of

national crisis, as suggested, why won't he rise to the challenge, is her message. get into downing street, sit down, and try and work out a solution. that is not a straightforward calculation for the labour leader to make because
