lochrane, and the family, by the senior investigating officer on the steps of the court. words can't labour leaderjeremy corbyn expressjust how has called the decision by the home secretary to revoke steps of the court. words can't express just how devastated steps of the court. words can't expressjust how devastated i am steps of the court. words can't express just how devastated i am to have lost my beautiful, happy, the citizenship of shamima begum — the british teenager who joined so called islamic state — smiley re—girl. i'm glad the boy who a very extreme manoeuvre. did this has finally been brought to meanwhile, begum herself has suggested she will try to seek dutch justice and he won't be able to citizenship through the family of her dutch husband who she married in raqqa in 2015. inflict the pain on another family as he is done to mine. alesha, i joining me from amsterdam is dutch journalist frederike geerdink, who also spent a year in the mountain camps love you so much, my wee pal, i'll and at military bases of the kurdish armed movement in iraq and syria. thank you for being with us. she is miss you forever. that is the end to suggesting she might want to go to some extent of the legal process for the netherlands and might get dutch citizenship. is that possible?” ales ha some extent of the legal process for alesha macphail‘s family, but the the netherlands and might get dutch citizenship. is that possible? i do not think she has much chance. no, i process is not entirely over. the judge will make a decision, we do not think so. she calls this expect, tomorrow on whether or not the teenager should be named. news media have requested they should be dutch man her husband. but it is able to identify him. in terms of sentencing the teenager, the judge, probably an islamic state but it is lord williams, will consider void in your country as well as background reports on the boy, mine. it does not mean anything.

partly because of his age, he is only 16, and he also, her baby, may be the partly because of his age, he is onlyi6, and he is partly because of his age, he is only 16, and he is expected to deliver his sentence, the final grandfather is also proof of that. sentence, on this boy in the middle of next month. james, thank you very if there is, it means nothing in the much. theresa may has been holding netherlands. i do not think she has meetings with leading conservative remainers any chance, no. this is a big issue, amid speculation that more tory mps could leave the party. two former government ministers, any chance, no. this is a big issue, a big story here in the uk. have justine greening and dominic grieve, have both said they could resign people in the netherlands been if there's a no—deal brexit. talking about this? has this become it comes as the ii mps who've a political case in any way? well, already left the conservative theresa may has been holding meetings with leading today there has mainly been news reports are not that much opinion it comes as the ii mps who've already left the conservative and labour parties both say pieces yet. i do not think anyone they expect more to join ta kes pieces yet. i do not think anyone takes it seriously here. there are them in the coming days. our political correspondent ben wright reports. so, will there be more? yesterday three conservative mps several jihadis strode out of the party takes it seriously here. there are severaljihadis still in the camps joining the eight who split in the north of syria. he may want from labour on monday. it's opposition to brexit that binds to come back to holland and the them, while the prime minister hopes to keep brexit on track netherlands are not making an effort and her party together the split has caused regret in the cabinet. to come to it might get those back

sad to lose three, good, committed colleagues and they have dutch citizenship. has so we will see what happens next. how serious is this? radicalisation been a problem in the it is serious and we are in a very netherlands? have there been many serious time as we try to get people like shamima begum's husband the right outcome for the uk who have gone out to syria to fight on leaving the european union so i hope we will all be able for islamic state? i am not sure to support the prime minister about the exact number of people but and get the deal through next week. that suggests parliament could be the interesting thing about her presented with a revised brexit husband as he is a white dutchman deal soon as next week. and he converted to islam and left there are many tory mps and ministers who insist the uk must in 2014. quite early. it is not not leave the eu without a deal and that could be the issue really known how he radicalised, if the triggers more defections. it was any mask or it also often if we simply become the brexit party, then i do not believe happens in at the home situation where people get together outside of we have a successful future ahead of us. so you would leave? i don't think i'd be able to stay the eye of the authorities. clearly, part of a party that was simply shamima begum wants to go somewhere a brexit party that had crashed us out of the european union. outside syria. the british i want to try to make my party act government has said she is not coming back to britain, the in the national interest, that's bangladeshis have said she is not the thing on which i'm focused. going to bangladesh. and you are if i were to get to a point

seeing you are pretty sure she will where i felt my party was no longer doing that, not be able to go to the netherlands i would have to resign the whip as well. yes, i am not sure about but that wouldn't mean i had to go off and join something else. the british rules. i also read that jeremy corbyn‘s handling of brexit is one reason eight labour mps have abandoned him. maybe she can appeal against the decision. maybe it will be turned others seem poised to follow, back. it is rather the camp where unless the labour leader dramatically changes his tune. she is, all the camps in syria are brexit is clearly fracturing the two main parties here and nobody knows how this new independent group disaster areas. several babies have of mps welfare, whether they died there. the hygiene will continue to swell circumstances are really bad. and in their numbers or stall. a lot will depend on how not too much time, it is going to be the next few days unfold. very, very hot. it is really totally number ten is seeking to negotiate changes to the withdrawal agreement but brussels is certainly noticing the political turmoil here. dramatic situation, the camps. and in the british parliament, shejust had a every time they are voting dramatic situation, the camps. and she just had a newborn baby. dramatic situation, the camps. and shejust had a newborn baby. i understood she already lost two the majority against something, there is never a majority children because of malnutrition and in favour of something. other circumstances related to the and if a no—deal would happen, and i cannot exclude this, conditions there. so, yes, it is

also not realistic to stay there. this would have terrible economic also because it is a political and social consequences. computer situation. we do not know yesterday theresa may said there had been progress but there is very what is going to happen in the north little time for the prime minister of syria, under who control it is to get the changes she has promised. going to be. they are under control in a moment, we'll talk to our europe correspondent of the kurdish groups. what is going damian grammaticas in brussels. first to our political correspondent to happen if america withdraws? is nick eardley who is at westminster. the army coming back in or maybe turkey wa nts the army coming back in or maybe turkey wants to attack? what is interesting in the last few minutes going to happen to the people then? we've heard the prime minister's set them free art we do not know. written a letter to those three mps who resigned from the conservative dutch journalist, thank you very party. yes, the prime minister much indeed for being with us. thank trying to refute some of those ideas you very much. that the three mps who quit yesterday raised in that press ajapanese space craft conference. they were very critical will begin its descent towards an asteroid in an ambitious of the prime minister on things like manoeuvre to collect rock samples from its surface brexit, on the government's policy and bring them back to earth. the samples should determine whether asteroids brought water on welfare and claiming that there and the building blocks of life had been an influx of hard to earth — and the procedure will show that it s possible brexiteers into the party who are for commercial companies to mine

asteroids for precious metals. now trying to influence the pallab ghosh reports. direction of policy. the prime minister firmly rejecting all of like a diamond in the sky, not a that, saying she is proud of the government's record, saying that on star but an asteroid. these pictures we re brexit, yes, she gets it has always star but an asteroid. these pictures were taken by the japanese been a difficult issue for the spacecraft. engineers at mission conservative party, there are differences but, essentially, they control in tokyo are guiding it the need to deliver on the referendum result and she thinks she has found surface. it will collect rocks and the best way of doing that. and, bring them back to earth. the thirdly, on that idea of some sort of influx of people from other asteroid is less a kilometre across and relatively close to the earth. parties, like ukip, people who really wa nt the spacecraft has been circling it parties, like ukip, people who really want to see a harder form of since last summer and has already brexit, the prime minister saying she doesn't recognise that. the dropped a land, and to reverse onto party has stringent things in place the surface. it will soon touch the to make sure that doesn't happen. asteroid and then hoovered them up. the message we are getting from the and later this year, the spacecraft prime minister today is one of will fire a missile at it. this will create a large crater and reveal trying to convince potential other what lies underneath the asteroid's defectors not to go. she's had justine greening and philip lee, two surface. the sample collector is people who have spoken about their

really a heavy duty hoover. here in concerns of party policy in downing street today, to say to them, look, what can we do? can we work steve na g e, really a heavy duty hoover. here in stevenage, engineers are developing a sample collector for future something out? you need to stay on board and fight for what you think but within the party. in the last missions. it is important to bring few minutes here i've been talking them back as we can do in—depth to the international trade secretary analysis. we can use instruments the liam fox. let's have a listen. size of this room, rather than a members of parliament can make up miniature instrument. asteroids are thought to be the basic building their own minds. my view is once you've been elected on a manifesto, blocks from which planets are made. promising to honour that, you've got samples blocks from which planets are made. sa m ples collected blocks from which planets are made. samples collected will reveal a duty to do so. what members of whether the brought water and the parliament will have to do is make key components needed for life to up parliament will have to do is make up theirown minds parliament will have to do is make up their own minds and face the earth. other bits of asteroids fell electorate sooner or later. when you stand in an election, and you've got to earth, the are too burnt from a party label, that helps you win entry into the earth's atmosphere to the votes, so you've got a duty to a nswer entry into the earth's atmosphere to answer these questions. here is a honour that manifesto. as i say, everyone has to make up their own meteorite, similar to what will minds and their actions will have return. we know when asteroids consequences. minds and their actions will have consequences. liam fox perhaps not going quite as far as some other ministers who have been saying stay, formed, the formed from fluffy dust we hear your concerns. you material. something has happened to ministers who have been saying stay, we hear your concerns. you saying you stood on a manifesto, you need this along the way that has made it

to stick with what you've promised. a hard rock. that is what we are but whether that is enough and whether or not we see more interested in, collecting the fluffy defections in the next few days, we material that records information. will have to see. all right, nick, thank you. asteroids are rich in gold, platinum and the rare elements needed for our europe correspondent damian grammaticas is in brussels. electronic devices. some estimate jeremy corbyn has been in brussels that it contains £140 billion worth today. he has. he has been meeting of precious metals. many private companies have made promotional michelle barnier, the chief videos like this one to raise money to fund asteroid mining operations, negotiator, as have, also, plans which could begin within five government representatives, so the brexit secretary, the attorney general, they went in afterjeremy corbyn and we haven't heard from yea rs. them but from jeremy corbyn‘s meeting, he said the message he got the government has confirmed it will not be able to roll over was the eu was extremely concerned japan's trade deal with the eu about the growing risks of a no—deal in time for the scheduled brexit date of 29th march. brexit, the uk exiting with no out of 69 eu trade agreements arrangements in place. and he said that the uk has been trying to replicate, japan is the most significant. he had discussed his ideas about a so far, six so—called "continuity customs union type arrangement with michelle barnier, which he was agreements" have been finalised. trade expert and former

receptive to. the problem is he's negotiator david henig joins us from westminster. not negotiating for the uk, the government is. michelle barnier today again saying he is yet to see thanks very much for being with us. credible proposals to deal with the issue. there is real concern on the six out of 69, are you surprised eu side that the government is running down the clock to present that the government hasn't been able to tie up more of these continuity mps with a stark choice in a few agreements? trade agreements are days' time, to try to force the deal through. they look at these difficult is what we are defections happening in the uk, and discovering. we already knew a there is concern on the eu side couple of years ago that it would be about the idea of a stable majority, difficult. i think we hoped if you might would have been done. it is 69 and quite where that leaves theresa may and her ability to get a deal countries, 40 agreements. it has through parliament. many reasons for them to be concerned while they watch what is going on. thank you, proven to be difficult. surprised, no, not really. disappointed slightly. i think we would have damien. expected more and hope to have heard jeremy corbyn has attacked the government for its decision more about it on the way. it is to strip shamima begum, the british teenager who joined so called islamic state, coming asa more about it on the way. it is of her british citizenship. coming as a late shot, really. what the labour leader described does that mean exactly? spell out it is a "very extreme manoeuvre." the implications. presumably, a few speaking to itv news, more will be done by march 29. do mr corbyn also called

for the 19—year—old, who recently gave birth, not how many. if not all of them are to "receive some support." done, what is the significance of that? what will it mean in real terms? we hope half a dozen more will be done by the end of march any she was born in britain. she has that right to remain in britain, new deal situation. and in audio and, obviously, there are a lot of situation, trade deals with korea questions she has to answer but also andjapan and situation, trade deals with korea some support she needs and diane and japan and turkey will not be abbott set this out on our behalf in completed. —— nor deal situation. parliament. what should happen to our imports which have previously her now? well, she obviously has, in been tariff free, some of our my view, a right to return to britain. on that return, she must service providers that are providing obviously face a lot of questions service providers that are providing service agreements in south korea, about everything she's done. at that they will not be allowed to do that point, any action may or may not be anymore. in the case ofjapan, a taken but the idea of stripping somebody of their citizenship when relatively new agreement, eu companies will be able to export to they were born in britain is a very them duty free and take advantage of extreme manoeuvre. indeed, i question the right of the home them duty free and take advantage of the new agreement. they will have a secretary to have these powers when competitive advantage over uk the original law was brought in by companies. is there complacency, do theresa may when she was home you think, governments and secretary. that was jeremy corbyn. government trade negotiators were with me now is our home affairs over optimistic of how easy this correspondent daniel sandford.

this is becoming increasingly would be? certainly, ministers were politicised, in a sense. it is. that making noises it would be easy. i am was the first significant political not sure negotiators ever thought it intervention on the other side of the argument to the home secretary, would be easy. i think it was a huge and you have a petition to workload and there was too much parliament which half a million optimism that we could do 40 trade people have now said they don't want agreements and a couple of years, anyone who went out to support which would have been a record entry islamic state to be allowed back to britain but they want their terms. you struggle normally to do citizenship to be taken away. jeremy for agreements in three or four corbyn now saying, stop, we need to yea rs. for agreements in three or four years. six agreements is not bad have a think about this because going, but there was a lot of these are people who are born in optimism which hasn't quite been britain, don't have much access to realised. why is it so difficult if you are replicating what is there other citizenship, and can't we take responsibility for people that grew already? the other countries up responsibility for people that grew concerned may have thought the eu up here? if necessary, have them drove a ha rd concerned may have thought the eu investigated, put them through drove a hard bargain and were hoping to reopen some things. the uk de—radicalisation programmes, send them to prison. but we can't government may not have been ready to negotiate on the things of the off—load them on other countries. he country wanted. coming on top of the is the most senior politician to make that argument on the other negotiations, we found we may not side. the home secretary was pretty clear on what he said about her have had the band with a cross government to have these detailed citizenship. what about the legality discussions. there are tricky issues

of what he said? the home secretary of detail within this about how was very clear yesterday that he had things exactly work. and trying to consulted with experienced lawyers, go through all of those in turn, i senior officials, and he was expect we just ran out of time in satisfied that because shamima begum some of the instances. these had satisfied that because shamima begum ha d a ccess satisfied that because shamima begum had access to a bangladeshi citizenship through her mother, and, agreements can be 2000 pages long and full of detail. there is a lot as we understand it, until she is to work through. good to talk to you 21, she has the opportunity to take and get their insight into how you it up, and she is currently only 19, negotiate a trade deal. thank you he was satisfied he wasn't rendering for your time. her stateless. but a very senior the american actorjussie smollett — who stars in the tv drama empire — human rights lawyer says he doesn't has been charged with filing think that flies. he thinks that a false police report. he claimed that last month he'd been because she hasn't applied for the victim of a racist bangladeshi citizenship, she doesn't and homophobic assault. have it, therefore to somehow pretend she has access to other this afternoon police claimed citizenship is in right and by he staged the fake attack on himself depriving her of her british because he was dissatisfied nationality, it is rendering her stateless. it's worth pointing at with his salary. the bangladeshi foreign minister this report by chi chi izundu — it made it clear yesterday as far as does contain some flashing images. thank you, thank you. she's concerned they are not a bangladeshi citizen and they are not jussie smollett plays jamaljoseph letting her into the country so lyon on the tv show empire. music is the truth. there are political and legal
