10:01 am
to hold a conference call with her cabinet ministers this afternoon, as she prepares to outline her next steps to break the brexit deadlock. the prime minister is seeking consensus on her deal to leave the european union — as some backbench mps look at ways to seize control of brexit legislation and prevent the uk leaving without a deal. tomorrow will be another big day in the commons — with mrs may making a statment in the house of commons outlining the next steps the government plans to take. then on january the 29th there'll be a commons vote on the prime minister's strategy. the uk is due to leave the european union on march
10:02 am
the 29th, in accordance with article 50 — although amendments are being put forward seeking to extend or suspend that process. with me is our political correspondent, nick eardley. i suppose the fascinating subtext of all of this is the growing power struggle within all this, between parliament and a group of mps you wa nt parliament and a group of mps you want to rule out a new deal brexit and legislate towards that. that's right. there are a number of mps from different parties that are frustrated and did think the government is listening. there are two particular plans being talked about today in the sunday newspapers. 0ne about today in the sunday newspapers. one of them as funny that cooper, the that if there is not a deal in place by the end of —— even at cooper, that there is not a
10:03 am
deal in place, parliament gets the right to extend article 50. we would need to go to europe and the permission to do that, but the idea is that parliament can try and put back the brexit date. be per second plan, potentially more to matic, comes from the former attorney general,, dominic grieve. the idea there is that they would be up to discuss what the business being discussed by the house of commons is, but he wants to change the standing orders in parliament, which would mean that different mps could put forward different options to be voted on and debated, and then to be binding on the government. if you wa nted binding on the government. if you wanted a second referendum, if you wa nted wanted a second referendum, if you wanted a second referendum, if you wanted a nodal brexit, if you wanted a closer or more distant relationship to be negotiated, you could put that down, and if several
10:04 am
mps agreed with you that it could be discussed, then they would be. it would be for a majority to vote on the latter happen. this is parliament tried to say we'd don't have faith in the government to solve this, and we want a bigger role in that process. in that, the speaker of the house of commons, john bercow, is a pivotalfigure, isn't she? years indeed. he is somebody who is able to select the amendments. 0n the premise that comes back with a plan b, and delivers it in the commons tomorrow, the votes would be for another week, but he will be able to decide which of various options put forward by different mps will be voted on. the cupboard is worried about this. the government to think that this will bea government to think that this will be a very concerning development, that it would take power away from the executive, and stop the government being able to control this process. that is exactly what some mps want, is to control the process , some mps want, is to control the process, because they don't think
10:05 am
the prime minister is trying to find some sort of consensus without doing this. she is going to be speaking to the cabinet later to tell them what has happened from the cross—party talks that have taken place over the past few days. those talks will continue in the coming days, too. but it seems extremely difficult for the prime minister at the moment to find something that both keeps her party together, and commanding majority in parliament. which is exactly why some mps are saying, give us shot. and you mentioned yvette cooper on the labour side of these mps who are potentially trying to stop a new deal brexit. you have also been talking to dominic grieve, another very important figure in the commons? yes, and he is very frustrated with the way that the government has been overseeing this process. he does not thinking happy listening, he think they have led us toa listening, he think they have led us to a situation where we are now almost certainly, he believes, we would be up to leave the eu, on the 29th march, even if there is a deal.
10:06 am
—— won't be able to leave the eu. there are so much legislation that needs to go through, he argues, that won't happen. 0n the other side, the conservatives, there are some that com pletely conservatives, there are some that completely disagree. there are brexiteers who said that we have to leave on the 29th of march, we have made a solemn promise. it fact that debate has some way to play, too. 0k, thank you very much, indeed. police have spoken to the duke of edinburgh after he was photographed driving without a seat belt on a public road, just two days after his crash with a car carrying two women and a baby. one of the women says no—one from the royal family has contacted her to offer an apology since the accident on thursday. emma fairweather was left with a broken wrist and told the sunday mirror that she's lucky to be alive. andy moore reports.

10:08 am
who's in sandringham. looks like a lovely day there. so, ina lot looks like a lovely day there. so, in a lot of controversy surrounding the duke of edinburgh, not only having been involved in that collision, but just 48 having been involved in that collision, butjust 48 hours later driving without a seat belt, which is required norfolk police to talk to him woods that's right. this is where the crash happened on thursday afternoon. anyone who thought that afternoon. anyone who thought that after that crash, the duke might decide to take more of a back seat when it comes to driving would have been wrong, because he very quickly took delivery of a new land rover and then was seen yesterday pictured driving on a public road without wearing a seat belt. now, the police they had they have been made aware
10:09 am
of those pictures, and have offered him words of advice. in theory, anyone caught driving without a seat belt, on a public road could be fined £100, or if it goes to court, could be fined £500. i think in the aftermath of the crash, the police have taken a decision to have a quiet word in his ear, and remind him of the need to wear a seat belt, probably to be seen wearing a seat belt after the crash. lots of coverage particular one of the women who was involved in that crash. she is saying, that she broke her rest, she was saying that has not had any apology from the duke of the royal family? well, she has been given more detail. emma fairweather says that she has felt lucky to be alive. she was heading along this stretch of road after a day or out with
10:10 am
friends. we she was with a friend who was driving, and her friend's baby was in the back of the car. she says that they were going down this road at about 50 mph, under the speed limit, when they saw a land rover pulling out and were unable to avoid it. she says that with the trauma that she has been through, tomaz schafemaker today full apology, but in fact what she got was a phone call from a —— she expected a full apology, but in fact what she got was a phone call. she thought, i don't really know what that means, that isn't an apology. as regards, buckingham palace do it insists that words of well—wishers have been exchanged between the parties. i think it is the perception of what emma fairweather has been expecting. she feels that this call was simply not enough. she
10:11 am
has expected some flowers or a personal call from the royal family. president trump has offered democrats a compromise package on immigration, in an attempt to end the partial government shutdown. but democrats dismissed the proposal as unacceptable. david willis reports from washington. from the diplomatic reception room of the white house came a distinctly undiplomatic message america's immigration system is badly broken. i am here today to break the logjam and provide congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown and solve the crisis on the southern border. amongst a package of measures that he knew would prove irresistible to many democrats was an offer of temporary relief for around a million immigrants threatened with deportation. but then came the quid pro quo. in return for all of this, the president is demanding close to $6 billion to build a wall along

10:23 am
cemetery in hertfordshire. i'm joined now by laura marks, who is the chair of the holocaust memorial day trust. the imperial war museum were obviously having a tidy up, and they came across these remains that had been cared for their the many years. no one was sure where they had got there, but now they have come to light, there was a question what to do with them, and the honourable caring thing to do has been to bury them. so they are being given a full jewish burial by the chief rabbi this morning, the chance to reflect on it. —— and a chance for people to reflect on it. next sunday's holocaust memorial day, is in this is kind of fitting? hamer that is right. holocaust memorial day is a
10:24 am
-- that is right. holocaust were moral day is a chance to reflect on the genocides by the nazis, and the following genocides in bosnia and other bases. genocide did not end in 1945. this allows us to think about the normal people that caught up in terrible things that go on around the world and continue to go on, and to give us a chance to reflect and think about intolerance, the growth of hate crime, the sort of hatred that we are seeing on the rise in and 519??? 7 7 that we are seeing on the rise in and 5&5? and six $5524“ eat? 4 6 people in some ways, million people in some ways, and we know don't know anything about them, except that. was except that one was a child? yes. they know that one was a child. there are five adults. these could have been anybody‘s great—grandpa rents or have been anybody‘s great—grandparents or grandparents.
10:25 am
anybodyjewish, these great—grandparents or grandparents. anybody jewish, these could great—grandparents or grandparents. anybodyjewish, these could predict lee be related to them. such was the scale of the holocaust, but worth thinking about them as individuals whatever your background, because people continue to kill each other just because of who they are. so therefore, it could be any of us, any of ourfamily, any of our friends where the situation becomes simply intolerable, and people start to be torn away from their homes and slaughtered. simply because of who they are. these people, one of them was a child. there cannot have been anything that child did, or in fact the adults, that led them to auschwitz, and the gas chambers and crematorium. so this really gives us a chance, even though we don't know these individuals, we know that they we re these individuals, we know that they were just ordinary people and ended up were just ordinary people and ended up in them most extraordinarily awful circumstances. and so, a chance, i suppose, awful circumstances. and so, a chance, isuppose, to awful circumstances. and so, a chance, i suppose, to learn the lessons, and to remember the lessons of what happened when they died.
10:26 am
absolutely. and next week, as you say, it is holocaust memorial day, a chance the people, about 11,000 events going on around the country, a great opportunities for people to learn. especially the london jets -- younger generation who don't know what happened. —— everything about what happened. —— everything about what happened. —— everything about what happened. interestingly, the younger generation learn about it at school. many people in the older generation don't know about it. school. many people in the older generation don't know about itm is on the school curriculum now. that's right. it is on the curriculum, but many people who are older know nothing very little about what happened, and it is an opportunity, online, for example, the holocaust memorial day trust website, you can read stories about other individuals, may be just like these people, whether in the holocaust, in wonder, in darvel, opportunities to find out about these stories, 20 hey a person's
10:27 am
story, the life they were living, and due to circumstances nothing to do with them, ripped out of their homes sent away and mergers, it really gives you an opportunity to think about how we need to treat people today here. —— and murdered. thank you so much indeed. it's estimated that around 300,000 adults and children in the uk live with tourette's syndrome — a condition that causes a person to make involuntary sounds and movements, known as tics. but for some people, their symptoms are so intense they require hospital treatment. this is alice franklin's story. today i have not been able to stop slapping myself over the face. today, i have been clenching my teeth which is really hurting my jaw. i have been hitting myself in the head, as well.
10:28 am
i have loads of tics. i punch walls, i punch windows, i punch mirrors, i'vejust punch i punch mirrors, ijust punch myself randomly in the legs, or the arm, i'm always covered in bruises. i havejust come back from a job interview. i did happen to tic quite a bit, and at one point i threw a glass of water. i was like, i've thrown a glass of water on the floor, but equally, they couldn't have cared less, so they knew i had tourette's, and it was absolutely fine. i am bringing a different perspective on it, because i open my mouth and sometimes the most random stuff comes out. and it's kind of creative in a way. it's kind of like odd and surprising and funny. i'm alice franklin, and have tourette's. that is one person's story about tourette's. adrian goldberg from bbc 5live investigates
10:29 am
joined us earlier. with the condition experience. it is a really strange condition, there is no known cause of tourette's. it is a neurological condition rather than a mental health condition. i think most people would associate tourette's and with involuntary swearing, but research suggests that only around one in a hundred people with tourette's have that level of vocal tic. you may well have other vocal tics, you make cough and make inappropriate marks, but it's not all about swearing. of course, you may have these physical tics, as well. those can be very painful. research by the charity tourette's action said that as many as eight out of ten people with tourette's had caused themselves pain or physical injury as a result of having to rats. it is a neurological condition, but as you can understand, we saw in the film, it can have serious implications in terms of going for a job, in terms of your social life, and so on and so forth. it can feed into mental health disorders. as many as one in three people have considered suicide and self harm.
10:30 am
how difficult or easy is it to diagnose? are there problems with diagnosis? in some cases, you're talking about diagnoses taking as long as four to six years. treatment is pretty patchy, as well. there are no nice guidelines for the treatment of tourette's.
