this is bbc news. hello, i'm karin giannone, i'm carrie gracie. this is 0utside source. the headlines at eight. the east london teenager shamima begum, who fled the uk among the stories we're to join so called islamic state, covering tonight, the uk is to have her british government says it will strip is bride shemima begum citizenship removed. of her british citizenship, her family say they are making her potentially stateless. we'll also be going to france ‘disappointed' by the move. where people are gathering in paris honda blames global changes and other cities to protest in the car industry as it confirms against the rise in anti—semitism the closure of its swindon plant after some shocking attacks. in 2021 — with the loss of 3,500 jobs. the veteran left—wing senator bernie sanders says he'll challenge jeremy corbyn says he "regrets" donald trump in next the decision by seven mps to quit labour and that he year's presidential election. it will be his second attempt recognises that he has to become the democratic nominee. to "take people with" him. and we'll also look into this congressional report. us senator bernie sanders it says senior white house officials says he will run again pushed a project to share nuclear for president in 2020, making a second attempt to win the democratic party's nomination. and influential and revered... karl lagerfeld, a giant of the fashion world, has died. he was 85.

my my interface is telling me thatjoan of arc is designed. shamima begum, the teenager who left the uk to join islamic state in 2015, is to have her british citizenship revoked. ms begum has been appealing to return home for the sake of her child, who was born at the weekend. her family say they are disappointed with the home office's decision and they were considering all legal avenues. 0ur correspondent ben ando is with me now. what's more can you tell us? this has come out of the later that was

sent to the shamima begum's family. it says that they are going to seek to revoke her british citizenship. the letter comes with legaljargon. it talks about appealing and the documentation that they need to launch an appeal. they say that if shamima begum has a point to a lawyer, they will be willing to send that document —— documentation to her. but that is it. at the moment, it is very much a day and. when this issue first arose, there were lots of arguments about why the letter was back in, it seems that the home secretary is decided against all of those. he has decided for whatever reason, shamima begum should not be allowed into the uk, and it should have her british citizenship taken away from her. there are grass to do

that under international law. the key is all of the lawyers you speak to, you cannot take someone's citizenship away, and if so doing, you have to stateless. you can only do that if she has a state to fall back on. that has been the issue for days and militated against provoking her citizenship. we will hear what the home office will say about that. what about the baby? that is a huge?. that child would have been born in syria. there is a suggestion that if you are born to a british person, think you are british yourself. that could be tested. there is a fairly flat because that child was born in syria, he would be less likely to qualify for british citizenship, or at least it will be more easy to deny british

citizenship. that something up in the air, certainly shamima begum's family wants the child to grow up in the uk. i know you were pursuing a home office and other avenues. we will find out how this story is covered and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:1i0pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are defence correspondent at the times, lucy fisher, and columnist at the guardian, dawn foster. the business secretary, greg clark, has told mps that honda's decision to shut its factory in swindon in 2021, cutting three and a half thousand jobs, is a "devastating" move. speaking in the commons, mr clark said he had to accept honda's assertion that its decision wasn't because of brexit. but he said car manufacturers had made it clear that brexit was "an additional worry at a difficult time", and he warned that a no—deal brexit would be a "hammer blow" to the industry. here's our business editor simonjack. a dark moment for uk manufacturing.

swindon is the first plant honda has closed anywhere in the world in its 71 year history. a hammer blow for thousands of swindon workers. my wife works here, my brother, my cousin, her dad, her stepdad, loads of us. my mum works in the county. there are about ten, 12 people from our little family who all work here. i have good friends who work here, they have just got married, had babies, just bought houses and you feel for them. i feel for everyone and even the management who spoke to us inside. you can see on their faces they are just as shocked as everyone else. so after 35 years of manufacturing in the uk through thick and thin why pull the plug now? this is being driven by big and unprecedented changes in our motor vehicle industry. this is a move towards electrification.

we started to see it in europe and around the world and it is in response to what our consumers are looking at and also what the legislation is driving us towards. unfortunately, that means we have to start looking very closely at where we have our investment, and that will be in the market where we have large production and manufacturing. the type of areas like north america, china and japan. this vision of the future of the car industry may be arriving more quickly than many expected, but it is a future the government said it was prepared for. electric vehicles only, that is notjust a new road side, it is a new mantra for co—manufacturing. the uk government has spent hundreds of millions of pounds trying to make great britain a leader in this technology, so how does it reflect in its flagship industrial policies? it is frustrating that as we made the right call and positioning

ourselves at the forefront of the industries of the future that honda, in this case, for the reasons they set up, ——set out, decided to consolidate in japan. it is a significant moment in a relationship ushered in by margaret thatcher who sold the uk as a stable, business friendly outpost in the eu forjapanese companies to locate. brexit has changed that. predictability is an important element, that is why uncertainty has caused a lot of second thoughts about continuing business in the uk. brexit should not damage the stable, predictable economic environment that all of us enjoy today. honda is not alone. nissan and otherjapanese companies have moved out of the uk. ‘isa ' is a chance to get them a really good tidy. —— brexit.

brexit uncertainty may not have pushed honda to the exit, but it has sharpened questions as to whetherjapan leaves the uk the way it once did. simon jack reporting there. we can speak now to paolo aversa, who's a senior lecturer in strategy at the cass business school. we specialise in the car industry. after that question simon raised whether the uk is well—placed now given that investment and cars, is it and at that place? apparently not. the problem is that globally, the electric vehicle will become more and more important, but the cost of manufacturing is very high. companies will try to reduce cost. this is important for electric cars? they are far from that speciality at the uk, which has been diesel and

what traditional because. having invested and an electric feature, where are we going to deploy that? it is difficult to say exactly when, but in the long—term, i think, more and more will come in times of market production for the chinese industries for the japanese industries, for the us first of all, north america, and after that, uk and europe. this is a huge market. hundreds of millions of consumers. yes, it is but it is relatively small compared to the other markets. market producers want to get between ten and 15% of cost to be electric by 2030. to do that, they have to reduce by 2030. to do that, they have to red u ce cost by 2030. to do that, they have to reduce cost to increase adoption. by 2030. to do that, they have to reduce cost to increase adoptionm desperately burying for all those people and swindon who are going to lose theirjobs, people and swindon who are going to lose their jobs, they people and swindon who are going to lose theirjobs, they have great tra nsfera ble lose theirjobs, they have great transferable skills, do you feel confident that there is going to be

somewhere they can't transfer those skills? absolutely. they could think about that car but of industry is that those skills can be deployed. the question is whether there will be industrial plants, that will not affect only those in conduct, but those hard producers that will be involved in this news. those producers are going to be suffering from that disappearance. it is a double problem. it is a huge problem. it's requires broader thinking and long—term planning. this comes like a cold shower, but i think it is important to think for it and prepare, think it is important to think for itand prepare, and think it is important to think for it and prepare, and definitely insurgency will not help at best. setting a strategy and plan for the next 10—20 years will be picky. thank you so much your insights. ——

it will be key. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says he regrets the decision of seven mps to resign from the party, but has defended his policies, saying they have "enormous support". the seven announced yesterday they were forming a new "independent group," unhappy with labour's handling of anti—semitism allegations and brexit. here's our deputy political editor, john pienaar. morning, mr corbyn, are you expecting any more resignations today? seven mps lost, now what? good morning. more unhappy mps could soon quit. and jeremy corbyn‘s thoughts? good morning to you all, and goodbye to you all. he was not keen to talk but at a business conference in london, what about the mps who quit? it was because of anti—semitism and brexit. what are you saying that there are a larger number who said those complaints are justified ? i regret that seven mps decided they would no longer remain part of the labour party. i thank them for their work.

i want our party to be strong, i want that party to be united around the policies that we put forward. i recognise that leading the party means you have got to take people with you and i am determined to do that. not quite an olive branch to unhappy labourmps, but his closest senior ally went further. we need a mammoth listening exercise and address some of those criticisms that have been made. i think we need to find a way forward. it is too late to stop the seven who quit already, but more may follow them. maybe not many, but enough to make this new independent group a painful reminder of how labour loyalties have split. canjeremy corbyn stop this split is growing wider? we need to prevent a split becoming a chasm and that requires robust action on a number of issues, like anti—semitism and europe.

and thirdly, making sure we are a broad church as a party. and the voters are split as well in the sheffield seat where their mp angela smith has gone independent. should she face a by—election? it will be interesting to see if they find a centrist party, that could be a gap in the market. she should be allowed to have her timeout. they should go back for election again. exit is placing enormous strain on british politics at a time when the trust, the authority of the leaders of the big parties are all in doubt. of the leaders of the big the talk is that some conservative mps may soon break with their party as well. the struggle for a brexit deal has reached a critical phase and it will get much rougher before calm is ever restored. the brexit secretary stephen barclay will reportedly take new legal

proposals to the european union tomorrow, and according to reports, says that those plans would be sufficient to secure an agreement in the brexit talks. joining me now is our political correspondent jonathan blake. afair bit a fair bit of activity i pop it in the last couple of hours. the mps from the conservative party both representing remainers and those enthusiastic brexiteers and a parliamentary party have met with the prime minister. the aim of which, the proposals, same at the backstop. it tries to maintain an open border or guarantees an open border with the republic of ireland it's a trade deal cannot be done by the end of next year. earlier today, it's was being reported that teresa may had told the cabinet that this

plan was not on the table any more and is no longer be considered. several of those mps met with teresa made this evening and set to be reassured, having spoken with them afterwards, they state that the compromise is very much alive and kicking. it is still on the table. it has just not been agreed to by the eu. as far as they are concerned, it is in the mix. they have also heard from the brexit secretary stephen barclay who has talked about the proposals and the compromise, and brightly speaking, oi’ compromise, and brightly speaking, or in part, they have to use of technology for the check of goods to ablate the controversial backstop. he says that those plans are be considered that the uk will break but the eu to use them not as a replacement for the backstop the smg that will avoid the backstop or the need at the backstop further down

the line. let's have a listen. this is existing technology. it is part of the future relationship we will have. it will avoid the need of the backstop in the hand of teacher parliamentarian. they do not want to go in the backstop any more then the uk does. it is important to use technology and building our future relationship. the question remains about what to do in the backstop in the immediate time. stephen barclay will be returning to brussels in the coming days with proposals from the attorney generaljeffrey cox about how to that may be tweaked or changed, but there was also a sign this evening up from the mps who we re this evening up from the mps who were particularly unhappy that they are still not quite clear on what that would be and whether they could support it, saying they will await for that detail on what they will be asked to vote for. let's watch it for a little longer. thank you.

the headlines on bbc news... the east london teenager — shamima begum, who fled the uk to join so called islamic state — is to have her british citizenship removed. her family say they are ‘disappointed' by the move. car manufacturer honda blames global changes in the industry for the closure of its swindon plant. three—and—a—half thousand jobs will be lost. jeremy corbyn says he ‘regrets' the decision of seven mps labour yesterday and says he's proud to lead the party. sport now...and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sarah. good evening. a busy night. it is goalless for the

sides but it is open and entertaining so far. mohammed going closer so far. there are some injured. it is pretty open so far from unique. —— four munich. —— four munich. bbc sport understands chelsea boss maurizio sarri is set to be in charge for the europa league game against malmo on thursday. the italian s future has come under increasing pressure since a 6—0 thrashing by manchester city 9 days ago. matters were made worse by an fa cup home defeat by manchester united last night, where chelsea fans turned on their manager. after thursday s europa league second leg, chelsea will face manchester city again in the league cup final on sunday. england's millie bright has been ruled out of the she believes cup due to injury.

the chelsea defender has been replaced in the squad by manchester city's gemma bonner for the tournament in the united states later this month, in what is a world cup year. so plenty to play for and world cup spots to pin down. it's the third round of the six nations this weekend. and there's a big blow for scotland, as finn russell has been ruled out of their match against france. he's been central to the way they play, but russell has not recovered sufficiently from the head injury sustained for racing 92 against toulouse at the weekend. scotland beat italy in their first match but lost to ireland last time out and haven't hit the level they will have wanted before it began. england play wales, and will do so without maro itoje. despite a faster than expected recovery from the knee injury suffered in their win against ireland on the opening weekend, he won't be ready in time

to face the only other unbeaten side in this year's championship. it's 100 days to go until the start of the cricket world cup. the hosts england are the world's number one ranked side and favourites for the tournament, despite never winning it before. ahead of their one—day series away against west indies, sara 0rchard has been speaking to former england captain alistair cook about their chances. sun shown down on trafalgar square, nelson's column cloud ten countries will be working to get this trophy. how are they going to develop the pressure? they probably will not take any nonsense. they will be concentrating on what they do. then the world cup warm—up game, they have a lot of cricket together, so they need to get eve ryo ne together, so they need to get everyone fit and firing and get eve ryo ne everyone fit and firing and get everyone excited about what it is

and the once—in—a—lifetime opportunity. plenty is going on behind the scenes. some of that includes making sure the tournament will be safe and the introduction of anti—drone technology at some of the matches. that is to help prevent terrorism and avoid the issues that face gamache airport in december. —— gatwick airport. the safety of players and the safety of all the fans are absolutely paramount. they will be taking all the right precautions, got a a billion and and a half people tuning in to look at the world cup. we want to make sure it is safe and successful. if you want to get tickets but the world cup, all of that england matches are sold out. there is a limited amount left for other games. they will be going on sale in march. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in

sportsday at half past ten. thank you, sarah. us senator bernie sanders says he will run again for president in 2020, making a second attempt to win the democratic party's nomination. the 77—year—old vermont senator became a progressive political star in 2016 although he lost his candidacy bid. when he announced the move on us television, he had some harsh words for president donald trump. i think it is unacceptable and un—american, to be frank with you, that we have a president who is a pathological liar, and it gives me no pleasure to say that, but it's true. we have a president who is a racist, who is a sexist, who is a xenophobe, who is doing what no president in our lifetime has come close to doing and that is trying to divide us up. bernie sanders isn't the first

contender to throw his hat into the ring for the democrats. let's take a look at some of the others vying for the nomination. kamala harris is a 5k year old senator for california and former state prosecutor who some hope would be able to build a diverse coalition of voters to defeat president trump. cory booker is a 49—year—old senator from newjersey — known for his focus on criminal justice reform and impassioned speeches on immigration, but he has also been criticized for his ties to wall street. then there's elizabeth warren, the 69—year—old massachusetts senator, a sharp critic of big corporations who's expected to campaign on a platform of narrowing income inequality. and 58—year—old minnesota senator amy klobuchar — seen here announcing her campaign in the snow — is hoping her previous success with rural voters would make her a formidable candidate in the rust belt, crucial to trump's win in 2016. joining me from san francisco is christine pelosi, a member of the democratic national committee and the daughter of the current speaker of the house

of representatives nancy pelosi. thank you so much for talking to us. are you surprised by bernie sanders during his hat again? we need that bernie sanders was going to run again, andi bernie sanders was going to run again, and i think he waited for some of the other candidates to set forth in the race and to see how they were received by the american people. we have 50 weeks until the first votes are cast for president, so first votes are cast for president, so right now, he has to prove not only can he assemble at the same coalition that he had before i get hillary clinton and, but also have the extra use of support necessary to wait and be the one to take on donald trump for us next year. what do you think are his chances on that? has eli heard —— has he learned a lot? that is a shame. we lost hired. let's us help you get her back soon. we will come back and

talk about another political issue and then if we get her back again we will go back to her afterwards. let us move on. 16 us states have sued the trump administration over the president's decision to declare a national emergency to obtain funds for constructing a wall on the mexican border. in a lawsuit filed in the northern district of california, they argue that mr trump doesn't have the authority to divert military funds for the wall. they claim he's misusing his powers and robbing taxpayers. let us go back to the miss pelosi. i think we can join let us go back to the miss pelosi. i think we canjoin her again. sorry, we lost you. sorry about that. we will try and get back there again. let us move on and talk

fascinated me. he was reported to be working 60 hours a day and wasn't delighted to do it's he was saying he was a carrot sugar of his cell. the news comes as one of the fashion world. a quote was treated, to design is to breed, so if i cannot breathe, i cannot breakfast that i met a person posted a photo of them. she said we will never forget your talent and your endless inspiration. we were always learning from you. he would say this is how it is going to be, this is how it should be. he a lwa ys be, this is how it should be. he always did things but such style,

and he had a wonderful aura about him. bites back injanuary, he missed the show in paris, fuelling speculation about his health. it was the first time he did not appear at one of his catwalk shows. designer, photographer, businessman, he is regarded as one of the most important fashion visionaries of the 20th and 21st centuries. the fashion designer karl lagerfeld, who's died, at the age, of 85. i'm now joined by fashion historian at london college of fashion, amber butchart. he had a knack for bringing back these giant brands. he absolutely dead. even as an essential figure for over 60 years in the industry. —— he absolutely dead. —— did. his

chanel became a blueprint. he was able to take sort of staples of the brand the skirt suits and inject them with a new life. he kept them round the events and contemporary by adding his own iconic twist. and very much into the accessories as well? yes, very much into the accessories. and chanel, is a huge market area forfashion. accessories. and chanel, is a huge market area for fashion. he has accessories. and chanel, is a huge market area forfashion. he has been hugely important as well. he has also one of the only fashion designers who is a recognisable thinker outside of the industry. what they'd pop culture himself, he is that recognisable. he talked himself as a caricature. he has a signature look, of course. very extraordinary look. yes, his weight

came through and things that he said, and also in his designs as well. that was not always without controversy. i was going to say, i would not say body shame me, but he said about people's shape. that was a sad and misogynistic street that i’u ns a sad and misogynistic street that runs through much fashion this course and that way, and he was not effective because mine. his views are not effective because mine. his views a re not really effective because mine. his views are not really welcoming in the industry any more. turns out i changing in that respect. and i he had a fantastically long career, possibly some attitudes are going to seem possibly some attitudes are going to seem outside of fire, another issue along with the body shame he thinks. he was not a great proponent of sustainability in fashion. the

weight the industry is now is different than how he began. the industry is driven by fast fashion 110w. industry is driven by fast fashion now. he had a big part to play in some ways. he was one of the first design is that the agent and in 2005. it is really the speed that has been propelling design a fashion to kind of keep up with it in a way. that does, it presents us with a whole host of environmental and ethical issues as well. going back that to that last by who is no longer with ts, what do you think young designers can take from him into the future? they could take an incredible work ethic from him. also, the availability to understand the dna of a heritage brand and be able to interpret state and keep it releva nt, able to interpret state and keep it relevant, he was incredibly

prolific. the most prolific design of his generation, and that is barely celebrated. inc. you for coming in and celebrating him with us. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. sunday breaks for much of us. —— 5°99y sunday breaks for much of us. —— soggy nights for much of us. let's wait there. let that, comment comes the mild atlantic avenue from the southwest. tuesday, wednesday, thursday, we will see some hot air coming from the south. here is the forecast for the night. the rain is flashing its weight to the northern areas. temperatures overnight, seven and landed, very, very mild and deep. the web that stays wet for a time in the north at the country, that the weather will and proof.

nothing, it is looking dry for most of us by the time. sunshine around us. of us by the time. sunshine around us. the best sunshine will be across the southeast and some eastern areas. hello this is bbc news with carrie gracie. the headlines... the family of london teenager — shamima begum, who left britainat the age of 15 to join the islamic state group — say they are ‘very disappointed' to learn that the home office plans to remove her british citizenship honda blames global changes in the car industry as it confirms the closure of its swindon plant in 2021 — with the loss of three—and—a—half thousand jobs. jeremy corbyn says he "regrets" the decision by seven mps to quit labour — and that he recognises that he has to "take people with" him. us senator bernie sanders says he will run again for president in 2020, making a second attempt to win the democratic party's nomination.

and, influential and revered. karl lagerfeld, a giant of the fashion world, has died. he was 85. let's get more on us senator bernie sanders who says he will run again for president in 2020. if you were here a few minutes ago with us we tried a couple of times to talk to christine pelosi and san francisco and had technical problems at. we are trying again and she is a member of the democratic national committee and the daughter of the current speaker of the house of representatives nancy pelosi. let's go back to what we were saying, what are bernie sanders chances?m go back to what we were saying, what are bernie sanders chances? it is a pleasure to be back. i think there are two elements of his campaign to consider. the first is his progressive view on the issues,

health care, college and fighting inequality and are a new set of candidates and the race you are espousing those values and. the second thing that makes him special is the fact that he was the antiestablishment candidate and now he comes in as a front runner and he has established an organisation and a track record of supporting other candidates for office and so some of the neediness is gone and that is evident. —— some of the new is gone. if the voters in the primaries say if they want the original or they are comfortable with a younger, more diverse version of bernie sanders. donald trump is going to brandon a socialist. will that hurt him? he is a proud democratic socialist and i

would remind everyone they called barack 0bama a socialist and ronald reagan in his actor days talking about medicare and social security as being socialist and of course, pa rt as being socialist and of course, part of thejob as being socialist and of course, part of the job of president is being commander—in—chief of the military which in itself is a rather socialist organisation. i do not think the label is going to hurt bernie sanders but i think the real question for the american people is how do we make an economy that works for all of us and each of us. and his answer to that question will determine whether or not bernie sanders wins the nomination. 0bviously sanders wins the nomination. obviously to some extent the party has moved in that direction because as we have been hearing, some of the ideas of his had become mainstream but is it do you think for somebody who has been around the block a few times, 77 years old and increasingly crowded part of the field, will it be enough? not so much if he moved

to the left, it is how the move to the depth of where the american people believe in these issues? the staggering income inequality, the concern that people have that we have gigs but notjobs, the frame of the american safety net of medicare, medicaid, the affordable care act, the urgency to fight on climate and the urgency to fight on climate and thejobs to do the urgency to fight on climate and the jobs to do that. those are issues that no matter what your age, race 01’ issues that no matter what your age, race or gender, we want to hear democrats talking about. i think it is not so much the matter of his personal characteristics but the way you can connect on a visceral level, with millions of voters, that is going to determine how successfully you can be and if this is a race about the past, then it has to be about the past, then it has to be about the past, then it has to be about the future. let about smears

and campaigns and ads and media attention, 2016 to a degree, bernie sanders was not the focus of all the investigative reporting that was out there but i suppose if he is now the front runner, he might get more of that? that is true, it is a campaign, iwrote that? that is true, it is a campaign, i wrote campaign book —— boot camp, and you have to withstand people looking into your record and background to determine how you are going to make future decisions. at the same time, the discipline that every candidate needs when you ran for president as how you can forthrightly answer a straightforward question about a vote you took or a position you held and then continued the conversation to talk about the american voter. at these candidates argue amongst themselves and the supporters are arguing amongst themselves, or giving each other at labels, we will all lose to donald trump so i think

we wa nt all lose to donald trump so i think we want to see people focused forthright on answering questions about what they are going to do for oui’ about what they are going to do for our future. that is the job of a candidate, to win the issues and to win the debate about who makes a better future for the american people. who is the candidate you would most like to see ryan?” people. who is the candidate you would most like to see ryan? ijust wa nt to would most like to see ryan? ijust want to make sure that we keep a democratic house with nancy pelosi as speaker and we nominate the strongest candidate we can against donald trump. i'm not going to be taking a position in the primary because i will be helping train to keep the house so i am hoping all the candidates put their best foot forward and i hope to be a voice for some of the progressive ideas that i think it should be part of our platform. universal health care, action on climate, good paying jobs, free college and again as i keep saying, an economy that not only

works for the entire society but works for the entire society but works for the entire society but works for each person in the society. although it is fair to say that a lot of people do not vote for that a lot of people do not vote for that in 2016 and we have to be realistic with it, donald trump was elected and he still has a lot of support out there. absolutely he does cannot remember a hillary clinton when the majority of popular votes in their 63 million people who voted for elements of that agenda, i would also say that on issues of trade, on issues you werejust talking about brexit, there is still some of the brexit mentality in the united states, there is a fine line between popular —ism and nativism so i think those are going to be issues that are going to be discussed in a major way and remember donald trump promised to fix the economy. he passed a tax cut that gave money to the very wealthy and as people start to do their taxes for the first time under this new regime, they relate

the middle class and had to foot the bill for corporations and they do not like that. i think the economy is always front and centre and it will be in the next year, as i said, 50 weeks until we start voting. just had a very concise description of the democratic opinion there. we will have the republicans auntie did the other side when we can. christine pelosi, thank you so much for joining christine pelosi, thank you so much forjoining us and i am glad the line held at this time. now onto politics in the uk. more now on the labour party resignations. jeremy corbyn says he ‘regrets' the decision of seven mps who quit labour yesterday and insists he is proud to lead the party. the seven backbenchers left to sit as independents, in protest against the labour leader's handing of brexit and anti—semitism. mr corbyn has been warned that he faces the prospect of further resignations and the bbc understands that two conservative mps are also considering their position. joining me now is anne mcelvoy,

senior editor at the economist. thank you so much for coming and. where you think we stand tonight?|j where you think we stand tonight?” think we stand at a point where it gets interesting to see where we see the magnificent seven or the second political dwarves, depending on your 0utlook, political dwarves, depending on your outlook, and they are so strongly programming and weighed about no deal and angry with theresa may and her handling of the brexit negotiations have become together but that makes this gripping look like a second vote, and very strong remaining outfit and it started out with the big moral picture yesterday it was the anti—semitism in the labour party and i think it will require a bit of clarification, what idid start require a bit of clarification, what i did start this breakaway group wa nts to i did start this breakaway group wants to be other than a breakaway group. is that one of the things where they have not quite decided because they have not seen who is going tojoin so because they have not seen who is going to join so they will not brand

until they work out who is there?” suppose that is what ideally you put forward , suppose that is what ideally you put forward, but you do not have a long time and politics. at the moment we have season politicians, and they know the game of politics and what certainly happens is if you breakaway, and challenge leadership, strong and established in its own way which is one of the things they are objecting to aboutjeremy corbyn and the strongly machine politics of the far left which has taken over the far left which has taken over the labour party, they would say it attracted votes to the labour party on different terms, you need to be clear pretty quickly about what it is you want to do, are you prepared to fight a key by election, if you look back to the social democratic party breakaway, similar terms in the early 80s and what they did very early on, looking back today, they brought by elections and said we will take on the labour party and

we'll see what voters think. if that is not going to happen, you are a wrinkly group in parliament and you need to form webbing arrangements and go vote by phone and i wonder if it will peter out and that is a big strategic choice they need to make pretty soon. what about the response of labour, it was interesting to see john mcdonald who was talking tough about how they have to put themselves up for reelection and todayis themselves up for reelection and today is talking about a listening exercise they need to conduct. those are one of those slightly u nfortu nate are one of those slightly unfortunate phrases and i am not sure what it is. does it mean one that discourages anyone else from leaving? he think he cares if they leave, i am leaving? he think he cares if they leave, iam not leaving? he think he cares if they leave, i am not so sure, one of the things if you look at the choice of language and in fairness this is a cabinet that tends to be used far left of politics and it is that

statement that we will listen. it falls short of we will do something about what you are complaining about and on the anti—semitism point, i think the leadership's line has wandered, and think this is something very unfortunate which seems to have landed on us but conservatives have their problems with islam a phobia tale or this is something we need to deal with it. and saying why you are listening, saying something must be done is different than saying we are going to do something. and that is... baron corbin has said that these people have chosen to go elsewhere. and i think that is also, a bed of a sugar tells language which does not really wa nt sugar tells language which does not really want to engage with why they have gone and that may be tactically because they just don't want to have gone and that may be tactically because theyjust don't want to or because theyjust don't want to or because in the end they think this group of people are not congruent with the views of their domination

of the labour party. so in a way they are under the microscope just as much as. one on the point that some of those seven were making yesterday about this argument that politics is broken and tribalism is over and does not work any more, we need a new centre ground, do you think that is true or is not something that the disenchanted a lwa ys something that the disenchanted always say when they move out? something that the disenchanted always say when they move ounm something that the disenchanted always say when they move out? it is something that the disenchanted a lwa ys something that the disenchanted always say but it probably looks truer than it has lived for many yea rs, truer than it has lived for many years, that the two big blocks of political opinion are fraught by brexit and both divided by issues and if you look across to europe, let alone talking about american politics, there is a sense that traditional parties and the big ce ntreleft traditional parties and the big centreleft block and the big centre bite block are breaking down and if it ends up with a new centre or a more fragmentation that the system

and then cannot satisfy, i think it is not guaranteed to be the rebirth of all the centre—right and centre left and it might go through a difficult time way that does not help the public imagination and we have an electoral system as we find out in the last breakaway in the 19805, it out in the last breakaway in the 1980s, it is extremely hard to get very far 1980s, it is extremely hard to get veryfar in 1980s, it is extremely hard to get very far in the national lever —— level. anyone who has gone mainstream have ta ken level. anyone who has gone mainstream have taken over it labour party success in their terms and you see it unleashed this small earthquake. thank you for getting us a lot to think about. now onto the economy. latest figures show record numbers of people are in work in the uk, and job vacancies are at their highest level ever. the office for national statistics says average earnings increased by nearly three and a half per cent between october and december and there's been a drop in workers from many eastern european countries.

with more, here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. firms like this buckinghamshire maker of bifold doors and windows are under growing pressure to raise pay. it has expanded its sales fourfold in the last five years and has counted on eu labour to do that. nearly 70% in this room are from eastern europe. now that trend has gone into reverse and it is having to pay more for its most skilled staff. when we look at the market value of these people, whereas three or four years ago it might have been 30,000, now it is 45,000. we are not prepared to, after we've invested in people, they know our product, five years experience with the company, we're not prepared to lose these people, so we have had to consider making extremely large pay rises to keep pace with the economy around here. the number of workers from outside the eu grew in 2018 by 130000, but the number from the rest of the eu dropped by 61,000.

from the eight countries thatjoined the eu in 2004, from poland to the czech republic to the balkan states, the number grew rapidly in the noughties, but it is now down in the 184,000 from the peak. the workers at this firm have no plans to leave, but they think they know why others are leaving. the situation changed massively over the past ten years. there is more opportunity, the economics are stronger back home, unemployment is low, the positions are better paid these days. the countries are in a better position. they are a little bit scared about what will happen with no deal and how that is causing all the prices of the products rising up. many people from the so—called eu eight countries thatjoined the eu in 2004 now have settled lives here with families and homes. but for those who are weighing up staying or leaving, the equation has changed.

there is no longer such a gap between living standards here and those in poland or the czech republic. that is why firms like this are giving bigger pay rises to hang onto their staff. consumers are unlikely to go on a spending spree even though their wages are rising at a faster pace since 2008 as long as a brexit uncertainty persists. if a brexit deal is agreed, then consumers are well placed to ramp up their spending once more. helped by higher pay, the number of uk nationals in work was up 372000 in 2018, nearly twice the increase in migrant workers. the headlines on bbc news... the family of london teenager — shamima begum, who left britain at the age of 15 to join the islamic state group — say they are ‘very disappointed' to learn that the home office plans

to remove her british citizenship. car manufacturer honda blames global changes in the industry for the closure of its swindon plant. three—and—a—half thousand jobs will be lost. jeremy corbyn says he ‘regrets' the decision of seven mps who quit labour yesterday, and says he's proud to lead the party. at least four people have been injured, one of them seriously, in an avalanche near a popular ski resort in the swiss alps. rescue work is continuing in crans montana — around an area stretching more than 300 metres. police say there maybe some people still trapped under the snow. the metropolitan police has admitted, it could take a hundred years for the force to properly reflect the ethnic make up, of the people it serves. currently 14% of met officers, are from black, asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, but make up 40% of london's population.

the force says it wants to recruit an extra 250 bame, officers, a year. more than 300 bin workers in birmingham have begun the first of a series of strikes. it follows a dispute with the council, over claims some staff were "blacklisted," for taking part in industrial action in 2017, when rubbish was left piled up on streets. sima kotecha reports. deja vu in birmingham. another bin strike causing misery. 18 months ago, refuse workers went on strike for three hours every day, for three months. and today, it starts again. i'm appalled that they're not coming to collect the bins because it's going to cause rats, we have rats already here. can you imagine the pile—up on this road? but this time, they'll be walking out for two days every week, for five weeks. it stems from the last strike. unite union workers took action overjob losses

and changes to shift patterns. the dispute was resolved after the council decided not to cut all jobs. then, late last year, tension grew again after gmb workers were given a payment. unite union workers believe they've been blacklisted for striking and that's why, they say, they weren't given the same payment. unite and its members never wanted this dispute. we never wanted secret payments to be made to people who had not taken industrial action. and we have tried to make our industrial action as proportionate as possible — to leave the council with an opportunity to settle this dispute. but, unfortunately, the council has failed to do so. chanting. they have already been working—to—rule since december. the council says it made the settlement because the gmb was not involved in the talks that ended the action. it says it's already put a reasonable offer on the table to end the row. birmingham city council is europe's largest local authority.

its critics will view this long—running dispute, and the inability to solve it quickly, as incredibly embarrassing for the country's second city. if the strike continues, overflowing wheelie bins will heap more misery on to residents. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. the golden eagle is one britain's rarest birds of prey, currently found only in small areas of scotland and northern ireland. but now, thanks to ambitious plans by conservationists, they could soon return to wales, for the first time in 200 years. john maguire reports. with a wingspan of more than two metres, the golden eagle is imposing, impressive, and imperious. an apex predator that targets both living and dead prey, feeding on mammals such as rabbits and birds as large as grouse. but persecution in the 19th century saw the population of breeding pairs reduced to the hundreds, and today confined to isolated

pockets in remote areas of scotland and northern ireland. now, conservationists want to see them reintroduced to snowdonia. we propose to reintroduce the golden eagle back to snowdonia, where it belongs. snowdonia in welsh actually means "home of the eagle." these birds were... went extinct about 200 years ago, but we need to bring them back to balance our ecosystems and also to provide economic opportunities for rural communities. but the proposals are contentious. the national farmers' union here in wales says it has real concerns about reintroducing this apex predator back into the welsh countryside, which the union says has changed hugely over the last 200 years. it's concerned about the threat especially to newborn baby lambs, and also to the wildlife that exists on farms, including many endangered species. rooney, an 11—year—old male, is often flown by his handler at this farm in the brecon beacons.

the farmer here says he would be thrilled to see golden eagles return. i would like to see golden eagles back in wales, and i'm sure they would have a clean—up job and would be a good thing for the environment. returning these birds to north wales will require licensing and will have to be strictly controlled to ensure that if this majestic creature comes back then it will not only survive but also thrive. john maguire, bbc news. let's see what the weather is doing with the rest of the country. in northern areas tonight really soggy at the moment, a lot of clout around and really this is a case across many northern parts of the country, scotla nd many northern parts of the country,

scotland and northern ireland had quite a bit of rain. really soggy of in the next 12 hours or so but looking at the satellite picture you get a sense of where the clouds are coming from the southwest, from a very mild direction. 0n coming from the southwest, from a very mild direction. on top of that it is also really, let's call it warm out there because temperature is overnight and some southwestern parts of the uk will be close to double figures in fact. this is what it looks like through the course of the night, rain moving through and not one solid area of rain and it will come and go through the course of the night and maybe ten or 11 degrees and overnight february temperature closer to 8 degrees and. it will not rain to the southeast but just it will not rain to the southeast butjust up to the north. time tomorrow, weather fans hang butjust up to the north. time tomorrow, weatherfans hang around and that means rain early wednesday morning and particularly northwestern and other areas as well. eventually the clouds will start to break up and it will be less and less of that rain and still

around 4pm it is raining around the la ke around 4pm it is raining around the lake district. it will dry out, particularly sunny and it will dry out. across the continent on thursday here is the jet stream, the ark means that south event, high—pressure, a lot of mild air and a lot of yellow colours and that means that it is stretching towards parts of scandinavia and thursday onwards, it will be a big change, the winds swing and from the south and fora time the winds swing and from the south and for a time and might be cloud and for a time and might be cloud and rain and the northwest but eventually we talk about 14 or 15 degrees, widely across the uk and as we head into friday again, the wet air is coming from northwestern parts of africa and moving to the north. bad is where the air will be coming from and reaching us through the course of friday and saturday possible and sunday i think is the conservative estimates for the temperature is and could be higher

than that, we could see temperatures up than that, we could see temperatures up to 18 celsius and notjust in the south of the country but some may be western and northern areas as well. average for this time of year is closer to that in fact but the record for the year is 19 and i am 00:59:19,873 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 sure we will get close.
