5:02 pm
if her own deal was turned down. in that the brendan rodgers era here is over. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said an extension to the brexit process would only be necessary because of what he called chelsea manager maurizio sarri said today that the prime minister's "shambolic goalkeeper kepa arrizabalaga had negotiations" with the eu. made a big mistake in refusing to be substituted during the prime minister promised she would bring the meaningful vote on her brexit the league cup final — but he was young and the club's deal back to the commons intention was not to "kill him". at the latest by the 12th of march. sarri was speaking ahead of their premier league game against tottenham on wednesday, and also added that he hadn't if mps reject the prime decided on whether kepa minister's deal once again, would start that match. then there would be a further vote he said sorry to the technical stuff on 13th march, on whether mps but that was not enough. support a no—deal brexit. and if that is rejected, then he said sorry a third vote will take to his team—mates. place the following day, on march 14th, where parliament will decide whether to delay the club. withdrawal beyond march 29th. as our political correspondent iain watson explains, the prime minister has made a significant change he made a mistake. to her brexit strategy. a big mistake. in little more than a month, the prime minister is due we need to be tolerant, to take us out of the eu. but concern has been growing among we don't want to kill him. conservative ministers that no agreement has yet been reached,
5:03 pm
sir alastair cook has been one and some say they'll resign of a number of guests unless she rules out no deal. to receive an honour at buckingham palace today. he picked up his knighthood the prospect of no deal is such for services to cricket with former a disaster, it's hanging over england rugby captain bill beaumont also knighted. business like they've never known the premier league's former chief executive, richard scudamore, received a cbe before in history, possibly for his role in making the premier league the global brand it is today. since before the second world war, he was given a 5 million pound and i have said we should rule golden handshake by premier league out a no deal. clubs when he left and our sports the idea that it is a negotiating tool is absolutely correspondentjoe wilson asked if he needed such recognition. incorrect in my view. nobody believes it in the european union. two other ministers — clare perry and margotjames — are also threatening to go. they want theresa may to delay our departure from the eu, if that's the only way of avoiding no deal. and some senior members of her own recognition is interesting, some cabinet hold similar views, people are very interested in football and think people who are so today the prime minister tried done a good job and others do not. to reassure them, if a deal isn't passed by parliament we know that we are not universally on or before march the 12th, there will be a vote popular but around the world it has on whether to leave with no deal. if that's rejected, then parliament could ask been extremely successful. i think for a short delay to brexit. partly because this award is also to the house should be clear do with the way we reach the world that a short extension, and globally expanded and that has not beyond the end ofjune,
5:04 pm
would almost certainly been a good thing, a good british have to be a one—off. if we had not taken part export. moeen ali will return home in the european parliament elections, it will be extremely from the west indies after the conclusion difficult to extend again, of the one—day series. ali was initially named so it would create a much sharper in the squad for the final three games of the caribbean tour, cliff edge in a few months' time. but the selectors have had a change an extension cannot take of heart as they continue to manage the workloads of key players. no—deal off the table. he'll now fly home after the final one—dayer in st lucia. the only way to do that is to revoke all rounder sam curran will replace him for the t20 series. article 50, which i shall not do. former sri lanka captain and the prime minister sanath jayasuriya has been banned from cricket for two years. said she still hoped that's after admitting two breaches to avoid delaying brexit, but the labour leader of the international cricket wasn't impressed. council's anti—corru ption code. they say, mr speaker, he admitted failing to co—operate history repeats itself. with an investigation first time is tragedy, and "concealing, tampering second time is farce, with or destroying evidence". by the umpteenth time it can only be jayasuriya retired seven years ago and is a former described as grotesquely reckless. chairman of selectors. this is not dithering, it's a deliberate strategy that's all the sport for now. to run down the clock. you can find more on all those stories northern ireland's dup believe on the bbc sport website. john watson is here the prime minister gave in to some of her rebellious colleagues with sportsday at 6.30. and weakened her hand more now on our main story and mps in negotiations.
5:05 pm
will have an opportunity to delay does she not think that brexit if they reject the prime the machinations of some minster‘s deal in a vote next month. theresa may told mps that they'd of her ministers and the proposals also get a chance to vote on ruling she has actually announced today, does she think this out a no—deal brexit if her own deal will have the effect in brussels was turned down. and on european leaders the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said of making them more likely an extension to the brexit process to concede what is necessary, would only be necessary or perhaps that they will because of what he called the prime just sit back and wait? minister's ‘shambolic perhaps not surprisingly, brexit is causing tensions not negotiations' with the eu. just between, but within the big political parties. the conservative peer and former deputy labour now say if their prime minister lord heseltine — who has strongly argued preferred brexit plan — to remain in the eu — a customs union with the eu — is rejected by parliament, is here with me now. then they will support a referendum. but there has been some confusion what has changed in your view today? as to what form this would take. we know that no deal wouldn't feature on their ballot a lot of people getting excited paper, but what would? about these options. are you the choice has to be between encouraged? i think it has just pushed everything a couple of weeks a credible leave option and remain, down the road, all the options that and if the prime minister's deal we re down the road, all the options that were going to be debated tomorrow gets through, that should be still on the table but a couple of subject to the lock, if you like, of a public vote. weeks away. and of course that gets more serious because we get closer
5:06 pm
but some labour mps say they won't and closer to the end of march which back a referendum in any form. for the record, and it won't be is drop—dead date. and closer to the end of march which is drop-dead date. some of your a surprise to anybody that i will not, shall not and cannot former colleagues in the comments i vote for a second referendum, think it is quite significant regardless of how much lipstick because for the first time the prime is put on it and what it's called. minister at least is offering a perhaps our party leaders are now facing up to potential option to extend this the iron law of politics. on brexit, you can't please article 50 process and delay our departure is that how you see it, is all of the people all of the time. a significant move forward?” departure is that how you see it, is a significant move forward? i do not think anything has changed except we saw the labour mp gareth snell that we once again avoid the giving his view and we'll be talking to him in a moment. decision. all the decisions that are we can cross over now to westminster uncomfortable and controversial are and speak to our chief political correspondent, still going to be on the table but vicki young. another interesting day where the prime minister, because of the just tomorrow and not today. the threats of resignation, has had to accept what mps would have foisted closer you get to the end of march on her anyway tomorrow. we're in a the more precipitous and damaging situation where if her is rejected the more precipitous and damaging the potential of no deal becomes. let's say the prime minister comes next month, then mps would have the back with a deal that has been option of giving their sanction for refined in some way and mps to turn a no—deal brexit or going against it it down, you then have a vote on a oi’ a no—deal brexit or going against it or possibly an extension. a lot of talk about what that would achieve. potential no—deal brexit. would you expect the comments to say
5:07 pm
let's talk to the labour mp gareth absolutely no way to that?” snell. you don't want a no—deal expect the comments to say absolutely no way to that? i think they would vote against no deal as brexit. how does the possibility of that would be a suicidal situation an extension help to solve anything? but as i understand itjust like mo said that mps must start making there is, there was an option decisions. —— theresa may said that. tomorrow, they would then be an i'd think it does not take it off option for an amendable motion which the table, it makes it longer. if it could take power back into the hands of the commons and put us in the is an extension so that the prime minister can reassess her red lines position of the light when cooper from the political declaration and have a meaningful conversation with amendment if it had been passed.“ the labour party about the kind of you go on to the third stage, beyond deal that would be acceptable, then i'd welcome that. she could have done that many months ago. if it's the vote on no deal, we then lets an extension to kick the can down say have a vote on extending article the road, that's a bit mean of us, 50. what other complications around but i understand why. business is so that, what is your view on the concerned about the 29th coming up potential timetable around extension, a short or longer with nothing in place. what changes would the prime minister need to make to her deal to get somebody extension? it is just like you to back it, given that you extension, a short or longer extension? it isjust more uncertainty. there is a decision to have a brexit leaning constituency? as i've said to her before, there be taken and putting it off does not make that decision more difficult must be greater clarity about a
5:08 pm
u nless make that decision more difficult unless something happens in the future customs arrangement, notjust meantime and of course if parliament in terms of selling into the eu we re meantime and of course if parliament were to take control then who knows market by how we will operate for frictionless trade. how do ensure we what the house of commons might vote have access to single market? and for. it might be voting for a greater strength for consumer, referendum, for example which does environmental and workers' rights. i not seem likely, but getting more was heartened to hear the prime minister make that commitment in her likely as time goes on. the one thing i do know is that out there speech. i want to see actual are large numbers of men and women legislation in a bill, so that the taking decisions about the non—regression, that's important to investment in this country and jobs the trade union and my constituency, is embedded into uk law. what about and they are in despair because they labour party policy when it comes to see... this is all about a another referendum ? it government without power. one day labour party policy when it comes to they give in to the right wing come another referendum? it seems that there may be a referendum on theresa at the next day giving into the may's deal if it went through this place, and the option of remain. the remainers but where the wind blows, the government goes and that is a first thing is, i think it is sad that you appear to have more very dangerous situation. because influence on labour party policy by that has consequences of people leaving it these days than by staying in it. but where we are, i taking these big decisions about the don't see how we can offer theresa future of this country, and they are may's deal against remain because we appalled. lots of people would sympathise the prime minister, have criticised it, but we claim to
5:09 pm
respect the result of the saying she has no majority, she is doing her best to get some kind of referendum. otherwise many of our policy through and this position members could campaign against a that we are in is because of the parliamentary arithmetic. do you labour deal, which is bad for party have any sympathy at all for the way unity. a second referendum is that she is handling it? my sympathy impractical. we need to find a deal that most of the mainstream mps of went the day that she became a both parties are happy to support, where both front benches can say brexit here. that is the end of the they have got something, and then we story as far as i'm concerned. she can move on and tackle the harsh domestic issues that have been was responding to the vote? that is ignored so far. . thanks forjoining us. a perfectly legitimate decision to ignored so far. . thanks forjoining make but then you have to make up us. as for the prime minister she is your mind to what extent you believe focused on getting changes to the in things. by the classic definition withdrawal agreement, to bring it back to the commons, possibly next ofa in things. by the classic definition of a politician, wait to see the way the crowd is running. that is not my week or the week after, trying to get the deal through. others have kind of politics. where do you think said that if there were a delay to we will be in a few months' time, do brexit it could be used to start thinking about a different kind of you think that parliament will come toa deal, a different kind of brexit you think that parliament will come to a different view on this or not? which may have to be much more to be frank i think no one has the cross— party. first idea. and that is an appalling which may have to be much more cross—party. ministers saying that the focus must be on the dilemma about the most important eurosceptics in the conservative
5:10 pm
party, saying to them, you want decision of peacetime. i know that i brexit, so you must vote for a deal wa nt decision of peacetime. i know that i want but that of course is oi’ brexit, so you must vote for a deal orface the brexit, so you must vote for a deal or face the possibility of a delay. controversial because this is the most damaging thing to happen to my our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas, is in brussels. country. it is a betrayal of the two things. still talking about younger generation and it should be stopped and stop now. you know what possible changes to the withdrawal agreement. i'd like your thoughts on you want, can you see a route to that. and then, what response with their bee to any proposal to extend that, a credible route to that?” article 50? -- what response would can see it with hope, more help than i had can see it with hope, more help than ihada can see it with hope, more help than i had a month ago. simply because there be. firstly, changes to the the house of commons has not made up withdrawal agreement, there be. firstly, changes to the withdrawalagreement, i'd be there be. firstly, changes to the withdrawal agreement, i'd be careful about that. i think that's misleading because what's happening its mind although there are a large here, we've seen the attorney number of people and probably the general coming here a short time ago majority who know that brexit is for a new meeting with michel barnier‘s team. not seeking changes wrong and their party loyalty has so far held. with the whips, bribery to the withdrawal agreement. that's not what the eu is offering or says and blackmail, all that that we know it is prepared to do. it is simply about has just about managed to survive but only because they keep prepared to offer new assurances, so putting off the big decisions. and things like what they are talking thatis putting off the big decisions. and that is what happened again today.
5:11 pm
about, not ways of finding good to talk to you, thank you. technology that would avoid a border, things that the erg in parliament want, but a possible the labour mp for vauxhall, timetable to explore ideas like that kate hoey, who is a long—standing supporter of leaving in the future, mechanisms to explore the european union, joins me now from westminster. it. not the measures themselves. that's a crucial difference. they aren't talking about an exit mechanism from the backstop, a time for lord heseltine, nothing much has limit. the eu won't entertain that. changed, what is your view? well he they are talking about adding to the is right that in two weeks' time we non—binding political declaration will have some really important some things about more workers' votes a nd will have some really important votes and tomorrow it seems that rights, those things that might there will not be much now that is appeal to some in parliament, and meaningful. the leader of the then beefing up the letter from opposition will put down the labour donald tusk and jean—claude juncker saying that the eu will try and make brexit position and that is unlikely to get through. and then we have to sure the backstop isn't permanent. but that isn't legally part of the wait to see whether the prime withdrawal agreement. that's only an minister brings anything back. i'm still hopeful that we will get some assurance that the eu came try and give. these are small things around changes to the backstop which is the crucial bit although there is a lot the withdrawal agreement. the more in the deal that i would be agreement isn't being dealt with. unhappy with. but i think if we
5:12 pm
the second question, about an could get some legally binding extension, donald tusk has already changes as parliament asked for, to said, in egypt, that it would be the backstop, there is a chance that rational. of course the eu is going a deal could go through and if not then we are again into unknown to ask, what for? the indications are that the eu is minded to accept. territory. what i'm very much possibly three months, or longer. against is parliament taking over control because i think people voted but if that extension runs longer or to leave and the reality is parliament is full of a vast is extended beyond may and june and july, the european elections of the majority of remain mps who crucial thing. the uk has to take campaigned to remain and in a way pa rt crucial thing. the uk has to take part in the european elections, if they are not speaking overall for they are not speaking overall for the people on this issue. i'm that extension is to go beyond july fascinated by your thoughts on the oi’ that extension is to go beyond july or the that extension is to go beyond july orthe uk that extension is to go beyond july or the uk cannot extend beyond that potential for the theresa may deal, point. it's a very important issue that will have to be confronted if the extension comes up. interesting, but there has been no sign even in thank you. recent days that the kind of changes that people want are going to be an offer. it is being made more hilary benn is labour mp for leeds central, and chair difficult for negotiators and for of the brexit select committee, the prime minister, not to go into and voted to remain in the eu. we can speak to him how i think she should not be here now from westminster. and should have done it differently
5:13 pm
. thanks forjoining us. what's changed today? i think this is a but it is made more difficult because the eu are sitting there and significant moment because the prime minister has been forced to recognise, there is no majority in knowing that many mps actually want the commons for leaving the eu to have a second referendum. and who without an agreement. and i think it wa nt to to have a second referendum. and who want to stop brexit and therefore was a number of her ministers going they hope that by delaying and to her this week and saying, if you delaying, the more people will move don't ensure that parliament has a towards what the eu has always done in these kind of situations, to try chance to require you to seek an to get a second referendum. and it extension to article 50, then we will vote for the yvette cooper is that that i think parliament at bill, and so the prime minister the moment and certainly there is no caved in and came to parliament this majority for another referendum but afternoon and announced that mps i still believe it is not in the will have the chance, if her deal is interest of the eu to have us going defeated again when it comes back, out on wto terms. i would be fairly to then clearly say, we do not relaxed about doing that but i would prefer support a no—deal brexit. and then relaxed about doing that but i would p refer to relaxed about doing that but i would prefer to see an arrangement that instruct her to go and seek an allowed us to have a proper relationship with the eu but still extension to article 50, which she give us the right to be able to has committed to honour and uphold, and will make the legislative trade independently and to be well changes to ensure that is the case. away from the european court of in particular changing the exit justice which is something in the today from where it currently is, tool agreement that is still hanging
5:14 pm
the 29th of march, in british law. over us. and just to take you you think that is overwhelmingly through a few of the steps, if we likely? i think it is, really, because just listening to what assume and it is a big assumption, damian grammaticas had to say about if we assume the prime minister cannot get her deal through we are the discussions taking place in then ina brussels, if that's the shape of the cannot get her deal through we are then in a position where mps vote on assurances that the prime minister a no—deal brexit for that two expect is likely to bring back, it may peel the house of commons just to say no off some of her mps to bring them to to that? i'm not so sure, it has had support her deal but i'm not sure it will bring across a sufficient two opportunities to vote down and number. therefore the risk from her no deal but not by huge majority i point of view is that she will lose think the principal that a lot of another vote on her withdrawal mps still have the belief in agreement. at the moment it becomes honouring the referendum is that we clear that the commons rejects a did say we all voted in a big no—deal brexit and rejects the prime majority for article 50 which said minister's deal, then we need to that we would leave on much the 29th move on to look at the alternatives. and when people voted two and half yea rs and when people voted two and half years ago they did not vote on the i agree that i think the eu will ballot paper for give us an extension to start with years ago they did not vote on the ballot paperfor a years ago they did not vote on the ballot paper for a deal but they but anything further, they would voted to leave and that meant leaving the institutions of the eu, reasonably ask of the british having the european court ofjustice government, what is the time for? no longer over us there are three choices. one, see if having the european court ofjustice no longer over us and not paying large amounts of money. so the
5:15 pm
principle of leaving on much the there are support in the commons for 29th in the prime minister has said an alternative brexit deal, like this over and again, now a short delay if there was something that norway plus. secondly to extend the could possibly happen, but white with the eu give us anything in that article 50 period by two or three yea rs article 50 period by two or three years and negotiate the future short delay. and then we run into relationship. the reason the commons the european elections of course and won't vote for the deal is because i know that leave means leave, that many mps say we have no idea what we are letting ourselves in for, and campaign today said that they would thatis ta ke campaign today said that they would take legal action if we are still in are letting ourselves in for, and that is no basis for such a big decision. thirdly, to recognise that eu on may the 23rd and then they if parliament ends up deadlocked, the only way you can resolve this, should be that we should be allowed asi the only way you can resolve this, as i said the other week, is to go to have european elections. and once back to the british people and say you do that then i think you get this is what the prime minister has into very dangerous territory for both the conservatives and the negotiated, parliament rejected it labour party who i think would be and here is remain, and it is your literally wiped out at the eu choice. of those three options, you elections. looking at the third would lean towards the last? i've stage, the likelihood however you argued for the first of those but see it of an extension to article i'm not sure there's a majority in the commons. it hasn't been tested. 50, as you say there are questions we will see tomorrow with the labour than about what the eu might deliver
5:16 pm
front bench amendment, it will look that they have not already delivered like that but i fear it won't win for that but today to think we are the support of the commons. the rational thing to do would be to ina for that but today to think we are in a position where it is more likely that the process will be pick the second option but that extended? i think that is what requires the eu ineffective com pletely requires the eu ineffective completely abandon the way it has structured negotiations, and would remainers and people like lord heseltine would like. i still think require the uk government to say, we are happy with the two, three year extension so we can get into the detail of what the relationship will there is an appetite out there for be. this is so important. how is there is an appetite out there for trade going to work? will there be the end to uncertainty and the longer that we delay then the more uncertainty in the west it is for tariffs? what about security, the arrest warrant? foreign policy, business. and that is why the idea ofa business. and that is why the idea of a second referendum would just be access for the service industries. a so ridiculous because it would take host of questions which haven't yet been resolved. and the third, the months to get legislation through and then all that time we are in an only circumstances when parliament uncertain position. so i would not might vote by majority for a second ifi uncertain position. so i would not if i was a betting person, i would referendum is when it has come to not at this stage but on article 50 the conclusion that none of the being extended. thank you very much. other options can command a majority in the commons. in those circumstances you can't go on extending article 50, you have to the headlines on bbc news.
5:17 pm
bring this to a resolution and i think the only way to do it would be to go back to the british people and say, here are the options. given what you know now that you didn't know injune, what you know now that you didn't know in june, 2016, what you know now that you didn't know injune, 2016, what do you want to pick? finally, on labour's india says it's conducted air—raids politics here. some of your in pakistani—administered kashmir, collea g u es politics here. some of your colleagues say it is sad that some targeting a militant group which killed a0 indian soldiers of your fellow mps are leaving the in a suicide attack a fortnight ago. party in order to come as they see it, forced mr corbyn to change his mind on some critical issues. is that how you see it? i'm sad that good colleagues with many years of officials in delhi say camps membership and support in the labour belonging to the group have party felt they could no longer been destroyed and there are many fatalities. remain within the party. some of the airstrikes are a major escalation of tension between the two nuclear—armed neighbours. them gave us their reason for our correspondent yogita limaye reports. it's in this forested area leaving, that they were disappointed of pakistan that india claims that the labour party hadn't come to have hit militant group jaish—e—mohammad — orjem. out explicitly in support of a in an intelligence led operation second referendum. jeremy corbyn has in the early hours of today, india struck the biggest training done that. he came to the camp of the jaish—e—mohammed in balakot. in this operation, a very large parliamentary party last night and number of jaish—e—mohammad made it clear we would support a terrorists, trainers, second referendum if the alternative senior commanders and groups

5:19 pm

indian kashmir about two weeks ago of march. on mrs may's own deal, are in which a0 soldiers of the central we at this stage thinking there can reserve police force were attacked bea we at this stage thinking there can be a kind orform of words and killed in a car bomb. and we at this stage thinking there can be a kind or form of words around the withdrawal agreement which will bring on sufficient numbers of mps to get the deal through or are you jaish—e—mohammad, one of the two are three big kashmiri groups, claimed after view that mrs may's deal, even if it is nuanced or finesse responsibility. so we have known for after view that mrs may's deal, even if it is nuanced orfinesse in after view that mrs may's deal, even if it is nuanced or finesse in some way, will still be turned down? we about two weeks that india was going to respond in one way or another. to don't know. the vast likelihood must be that it will be turned down this terrorist attack. what does because the numbers were so overwhelmingly against it the first that tell us about the current state time. she appears to be securing a of relations and what does it bit of movement from brussels on the represent looking back over the last language around the irish backstop, ten or 20 years, what does this the most controversial bit. whether represent in terms of intensity?“ is quite unprecedented in one way in that's enough, we don't know. but that usually when pakistan and india her concessions on no deal and a come into contact it is usually within what used to be the princely delay may reduce the pressure for people to vote for her. her tactic has been to try and make it a choice state of kashmir and both pakistan between her deal and no deal,
5:21 pm
and india claim the territories on pushing the conservative mps towards both sides they feel that attacks it. if that is defeated then we are within kashmir is within bounds, if into the vote on a no deal outcome. that's right. the expectation is you will. this is different because this is an air strike and again that the commons would say no to that? that is the expectation. very there are quite mixed reports within few things are clear in this picture but one of the clearer one seems to pakistani territory, across the be that there is a majority in the international border for that but commons against no deal. which takes they are air strikes which is us commons against no deal. which takes us to stage three, the potential different from ground attacks. and i extension. which you would see mps think broadly it refers to the backing? i think that's right. again, nothing is certain. no, no. heightening of tension is between india and pakistan over the last few the expectation is that mps will yea rs. india and pakistan over the last few years. looking at the perspective back it, but what kind of an extension? it is not within our that the international community gift. we would be asking the eu for would take on this ongoing dispute, what field does the un take of this an extension. three months or longer? there will be a range of conflict at its current point in the weight that the indians have opinions. you have the potential responded to this particular attack? com plete opinions. you have the potential complete case and of the european parliamentary elections which would affect the timescale. yes because so the conflict originally in 19a7
5:22 pm
you shouldn't be in the european union without representation. what and 19a8 went to the united nations only after there was a war in 19a7 happens to our meps? do they get an extension? do we extend our and 19a8 between india and pakistan membership until the new meps sit in and 19a8 between india and pakistan and india called the conflict into july? or do we have to elect new the united nations. the problem then which is the problem today is that meps? those things are in play. are the un resolution calls for a we really saying clearly to the referendum but only after this viewers today that it is overwhelmingly likely that we will not be leaving the eu on the 29th of moment. —— only after disarmament. march? is that the cumulative effect of what's happened ? march? is that the cumulative effect of what's happened? the odds of an extension to our membership of the so it has been a frozen conflict for eu have gone up a lot.|j extension to our membership of the eu have gone up a lot. i think that that long. the thing that has a nswe rs eu have gone up a lot. i think that answers it, with your characteristic clarity! one other thing, changed first in the 1980s and answers it, with your characteristic clarity! one otherthing, in answers it, with your characteristic clarity! one other thing, in terms of the workings of government, especially then in the last decade or so is the extent to which there because this is your area, what kind is an internal rebellion or internal of volatility does this latest set of volatility does this latest set of events present for those working uprising in kashmir against the indian government. and pakistan at and civil servants within government, trying to plan ahead, various points has inflamed that but not just weeks and government, trying to plan ahead, notjust weeks and months, but is also considered among many in yea rs, notjust weeks and months, but years, trying to see where we'll be

in our relationship with the eu in pakistan establishments to be the the years to come? a sense of what's happening in whitehall now. whitehall has been planning for a reason why there are these attacks. couple of years now for different for india at their perspective is versions of the future at the same that these attacks only because of time and there has been enormous pakistani support. thank you very strain. if i'm right that this increases the chance of an extension thenit increases the chance of an extension then it makes things a lot easier much. for whitehall. it doesn't shed more plans to change the rules on organ light on the future relationship donation in england are set with the eu but it probably begins to clear their final hurdle to squeeze no deal off the table, if in parliament today. record numbers of people are the commons votes against it. the donating organs after their death, but there are still 6,000 people one scenario whitehall has found on the transplant waiting list. under the new system, difficult to plan for is no deal which would come into effect next year, consent would be presumed because of the scale what has to be but people will still be able to opt out. done and it depends on what european union countries do. we can't script that. it makes it likely to remove our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports.
