staying in the eu, or mrs may's undermine the prime minister because i support her policy. it is this tactic of no deal that has to be deal? mrjeremy corbyn said, no, we removed. you think there is more could not have that sort of vote, it time because some of your would be confirmatory on mrs may colleagues, like—minded mps, think we are out of time now, you really applause deal. sir keir starmer sought to clear have to pass the cooper amendment things up this morning, insisting because there is no more time. there yes, it would be on mrs may's deal is no time for camera kicking down the road. the amendment actually versus remain. on jeremy yes, it would be on mrs may's deal versus remain. onjeremy corbyn's team, pretty provides a legislative process which versus remain. onjeremy corbyn's tea m, pretty lu kewa rm versus remain. onjeremy corbyn's team, pretty lukewarm because they are fearful it will alienate many ta kes provides a legislative process which takes time itself. given the prime minister is going to bring the deal leave supporters in labour constituencies, they will be aghast back before the 12th or 13th of at the party is looking again at march, whatever the alternative another referendum. having listened to shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell. strategy is, be it the amendment or something the prime minister hardly oozing with enthusiasm. says,... something the prime minister anything could happen at the moment, says, . .. the something the prime minister says,... the only thing that will force the prime minister to change the prime minister has pushed us so near the edge. there is a majority for blocking no deal. there may well course is legislation... do you bea think words will be enough? the for blocking no deal. there may well be a majority for using any
11:07 am
mechanism we can, if that is going back to the people, we may well have person that put this bill together, a majority. we are in uncharted i trust his judgment. normally the words of a prime minister on the waters. you have probably got about dispatch box whilst not written in law or another. it depends what they 25 labour mps who are opposed to the are. we cannot allow vagueness or wiggle room. if it satisfies greg idea of another referendum. there will be others, supporters ofjeremy clark and amber rudd, i will look at corbyn who are taking a nod and a wink from him that he is really not it carefully. the prime minister has keen on it. some labour mps will been route one throughout the process , been route one throughout the say, for heaven's sake, can we just process, her deal and no other option. what makes you think you can get over this? the numbers against trust the prime minister to offer a vote on delay when she has been another referendum on the labour clear a ll vote on delay when she has been clear all along it has to be on the table to maximise pressure on the side are not insignificant while on the tory side, probably only around eu. we will see what she says, that a dozen top tories who would be is all i can say, i hope we will know within the hour. the stakes are prepared to back another referendum. actually getting another referendum to parliament looks a tall order. we need to wait and see what theresa enormous because clearly there is the threat of some former remain may says at 12:30pm. and watch the ministers quitting, some in cabinet.

visitors, 1000 sure start children's of march. if that falls, there would bea centres, child poverty increasing. of march. if that falls, there would be a vote the next day on the 13th on whether the commons would support these children really are the future leaving with no deal. and the third of our country and their future commitment, if mps rejected no deal, health and well—being is determined very much served by what happens to there would be a vote on extending them at the beginning of life. article 50. in other words, delaying according to statistics pull brexit. there has been speculation together by teach first scent is the it would be delayed until the 29th education charity, just under half of may, which is the day of the of children eligible for free school meals are not school ready. one in european elections. the prime minister, laura, is also still four group when it comes to the offspring of wealthier people. how do you go about getting those saying, i do not want article 50 children school ready? this is what extended, an extension cannot take the committee has been sent is no deal off the table. laura tweets, looking at. the prime minister will have the chance to slam the brakes on but is clear she does not want a delay. the working with parents, identifying
11:29 am
where a family struggling. it is loads of extra investment in the families where they might be. a pa rent families where they might be. a parent with a little help problem. copper—letwin bill would basically we heard in the piece, perhaps a if it went through give the comments pa rent we heard in the piece, perhaps a the power to to lie brexit if there parent is in prison, a child getting is no deal by the 13th of march. behind in social and language development. the intervention is what the prime minister is hoping to needed once you have identified need achieve today is to stop that to be targeted towards that family, family support worker, being able to actually happening by saying she would effectively do the same. some help parents to be able to take the have said, including all of letwin steps to get their child up to a level where they are ready for school. if a child starts school words would not be enough. that is behind its peers, it goes off and on a trajectory it never gets off. why they want to ensure it in a bill giving power to the commons because she has thoughts before. she has explain what is not being school ready means. you are a gp. you see left downing street, she is heading families coming through your doors for the comments and that is what we and asa are expecting to hear from her. families coming through your doors and as a result of the research you have been doing. what are the most let‘s see if anything was said as she left the commons earlier.
11:30 am
worrying examples of children not being ready? sometimes, not emotionally ready, not being able to questions and shouted at her but share things. to develop a absolutely no response. we are expecting hurt today to say in the next few minutes there will be the relationship with peers. sometimes practical things like not being able vote on her tail on the 12th and if to go to the toilets by themselves. that fails, there will be a vote of the following day about comments and sometimes about language development. in some families where support for no deal. and then a vote children are growing up in on extending article 50 will adversity, they do not get red too. they do not get exposure to conversation that allows them to yesterday, we saw a top temperature develop themselves —— back they do of 20.6 celsius in west wales. that isa of 20.6 celsius in west wales. that is a new record high for anywhere in not get read to. this is something the uk during winter. remaining on the whole of society has to invest the uk during winter. remaining on the warm side of the jet. it is the same pattern as we have seen for two m, the whole of society has to invest in, identify and help support the weeks. so this afternoon a lot of families where children are at risk sunshine and very warm for the time of getting behind. it requires obviously to address the sorts of of year. tonight under clear skies things, a consistent level of support, and that is expensive. it will turn chilly with mist and
11:31 am
fog in places and a touch of frost there is no sign the resources might in rural places. tomorrow more of be forthcoming for something like that. we actually spend a fortune in the same, a chilly start with some health care at the end of somebody‘s mist and fog in the morning. more light. in my experience as a doctor, cloud in northern and western sometimes prolonging scotland. but elsewhere it is another fine afternoon with lots of sunshine. very warm for the time of year. but maybe not as warm as the last few days. as we end the week, a someone's life is not always in their best interest was that we are big change, the jet calling for results to be shifted right at the beginning of life where last few days. as we end the week, a big change, thejet stream brings massive health inequalities are set. cooler and fresher air and it is it takes investment. actually, in wales and scotland we have seen the number of health visitors increase, more unsettled with wind, rain the work of health visitors become sunshine and showers. more intensive at a time when in england we seem to be dis— investing. we have shone a light on this and say, there needs to be from government leadership. before i let you go, i want to talk to you about hello you‘re watching bbc newsroom brexit. this is what the focus is live. let‘s go the commons. theresa on. your party is changing its sta nce on. your party is changing its stance now to say we will actively may is waiting to stand up and say go for a second referendum and keir starmer singh this morning if there
11:32 am
we re starmer singh this morning if there were to be one, what labour would what she is planning to do on brexit like to see on the ballot paper under a lot of pressure from her own would be to reset my‘s deal or ministers. three lore ranking remain. —— kier starmer saying this ministers. three lore ranking ministers and three cabinet ministers and three cabinet ministers have all said unless they get a public assurance from the morning. we have said this morning we would like to have the chance to prime minister that there will be... put our deal to the commons, staying there will not be a no—deal brexit, in the customs union and single they will go against the party line market. if the commons does not and will support moves that are being put forward that are agree we think the public should scheduled, or expected to be put have a chance to have a say. it is quite a sensible thing to do. i will forward tomorrow, to thwart a no—deal brexit and lead to an extension of article 50. article 50 be campaigning to stay in the european union. i think there is no the process that was triggered, the deal that is better than the one we currently have. i think the public, two—year processed that was triggered that would see us leave i would accept, if we put all the fa cts i would accept, if we put all the facts of what brexit really routes the eu on 29th march. it is the like —— looks like the people and legal process. unless something is see what this would mean for the jobs and living standards, if people done to stop it, that is the path we still want to leave the european are on. until now the prime minister union knowing what it really means, that would be ok. the problem was, has been adamant she wouldn‘t rule
11:33 am
we didn't know what brexit meant out the uk leaving on 29th march when we had the 2016 referendum. we without a deal. but she has been in know more now. is your constituency remain? the majority of the people i cabinet this morning and laura keunssberg our political editor said represent voted to leave but did not asa keunssberg our political editor said as a result of what has been vote to lose theirjobs, reduce the discussed there she is expected to living standards. it is clear now any form of brexit, certainly no make three further commitments today. the first a meaningful vote deal, but even theresa may's exit deal, but even theresa may's exit deal by the government because my by 12th march. if that vote falls, own admission, is going to really hit manufacturing in the north—east there would be another vote on 13th. of england where i represent people. that would be on whether the commons it is one of the really strong would support leaving with no deal arguments for people to say, i want and then thirdly if mps rejected no to ta ke arguments for people to say, i want to take another look at this and be deal, there would be a vote on absolutely sure this is a price worth paying. really interesting to extending article 50 and the prime see how it all unfolds with some mps minister though will say... on that let me be clear, i do not want going against what their constituents voted for, as you are saying. that is how you stand this article 50 extended, an extension cannot take no deal off the table. morning. we will wait and see what theresa may says in the comment at so, laura says, the prime minister 12:30pm.
11:34 am
will give the chance to slam the bra kes will give the chance to slam the brakes on brexit if her deal is rejected. laura says in a sense she is giving in to cooper letwin before it has a chance to be approved. if we have what is centring around the uk at the moment. not a cloud in the yo not across all the latest sky, right across england and wales. developments, cooper/letwin is a some cloud affecting some parts of bill that is, has been drawn up by scotla nd some cloud affecting some parts of scotland and keeping temperatures 12-13d. scotland and keeping temperatures 12—13d. elsewhere, it has been a yvette cooper and oliver letwin that telly star, temperatures are now starting to respond with that would enable mps to have the power to delay article 50. and it would sunshine. one or two spots around london could well reach 20 degrees, tie the prime minister‘s hands in just like yesterday, we could go a forcing an extension potentially if little bit higher than that. there is no agreement by 13th march. tonight, clear skies, it little bit higher than that. tonight, clearskies, it is little bit higher than that. tonight, clear skies, it is going to be another code one, patchy fog developing across southern parts of three cabinet ministers, have all said they would support the wales and england. that fog will clear away, during wednesday for
11:35 am
cooper/letwin process. if theresa most of us, it will be a fine, dry day. temperatures are still pretty may doesn‘t make absolutely clear warm— highs of 14—18. that she would effectively do the same. richard harrington, claire perry and other ministers said the hello — this is bbc newsroom live, with joanna gosling. prime minister must rule out a the headlines: theresa may's cabinet is meeting no—deal brexit and delay if there is at downing street this morning — no—deal brexit and delay if there is as the prime minister faces further no deal. these are some of the departures from earlier. amber rudd calls to prevent a no—deal brexit. is also in that group of cabinet jeremy corbyn says labour will now support a further brexit referendum if its alternative eu exit plan ministers saying if there is nothing fails to get parliamentary approval. one of the pope's advisers, cardinal george pell, has become the most senior catholic from the prime minister to rule out figure to be convicted of sexual offences. no deal she would resign and support india says its conducted air—raids the cooper/letwin amendment. the inside pakistani territory in a major escalation of tension question is what the prime minister between the two nuclear—armed is expected to say in the commons neighbours — pakistan claims no going to be enough to stop those infrastructure got hit. resignations? and allow her to maintain control of the process. let‘s listen.
