targeted indian targets, across the cohen. that, of course, is the president's disgraced former lawyer border. they say as a result of who is expected to accuse donald these pakistani strikes on indian trump of criminal conduct today when targets, indianjets these pakistani strikes on indian he testifies before congress. mr targets, indian jets crossed these pakistani strikes on indian targets, indianjets crossed over into pakistani airspace, and then cohen has already been sentenced to pakistani jets shout down two indian four years in planes as a result of which, two cohen has already been sentenced to fouryears injail cohen has already been sentenced to four years injailforfraud, false testimony, and avenging hutch indian pilots were captured. that's payments for women who claim to have affairs with mrup payments for women who claim to have affairs with mr up he gave a the chronology, according to the closed—door interview to a senate pakistani military, and this really committee. but today's hearing will does seem to be a dramatic be made in public. first of all, i escalation in tensions between the wa nt to be made in public. first of all, i want to thank you all for sticking two countries. i asked the pakistani around and waiting for me. at this point in time, i appreciate the military spokesman if this was opportunity that was given to me to pushing the two countries to the clear the record and tell the truth. brink of war, he said that pakistan i look forward to tomorrow, to be was acting responsibly, he said that pakistan had deliberately chosen to able to air my voice, to be able to tell the american people my story. i am going to let the american people target open areas, in india, where they weren't military officials, decide exactly who is telling the where they weren't civilians living, truth. i want to thank you all for because he said these pakistani sticking around.

strikes in the morning, were intended as a show of force to india, rather than as an act of escalation, or an act provoking war. it is now, i think, everyone in more than 30000 patients were banned pakistan is waiting to see how india responds, particularly because these two indian pilots are now in pakistani custody. from seeing their gp in england last year as a result of their violent or threatening behaviour. the bbc has learnt that the patients labour mps have were instead placed criticised their colleague chris williamson who was filmed on a special allocation scheme, saying the party has been "too where they are seen in secure apologetic" over anti—semitism. medical practices — often with a police presence. our reporter david rhodes has been tom watson has written to the shadow to one surgery where staff have been given self—defence training. chief whip saying the comments have patients come to this surgery brought the party into disrepute. he in west yorkshire for help, but the staff here say they're being subjected to rising levels of verbal and physical abuse. it's almost on a daily was filmed saying the party has been of bases, verbal abuse. of basis, verbal abuse. too apologetic over anti—semitism. it's a growing issue. i was speaking to this chap, mr williamson, who is a close ally ofjeremy corbyn, told activists i was trying to explain things and make sure that he got at a momentum event in sheffield the medications he needed. he said, "will menzies, the party has done more to stand up prepare yourself, i'm coming to kill you." to the racism is being day demonised just completely aggressive down the phone, screaming, shouting. that's why i transferred the call through to the manager for him

to take it from there. asa to the racism is being day demonised as a racist, bigoted party. our the practice had to close then. we did, yeah. we had to close the practice pa rty‘s and phone the police. as a racist, bigoted party. our party's response has been partly responsible. in my opinion, we've an increasing demand for gp services and patients excepting to be treated straightaway are some of the causes backed are far too much, we've given behind the rise in levels of abuse. and such is the concern too much ground, we've been too of staff at this practice, everyone has undergone self—defence classes. staff said they wanted that, so they can have all sorts apologetic. we are an anti—racist of strategies and techniques for dealing with these issues. over 300 million gp appointments took place in england last year and figures from the nhs show party, we've done more to actually that over 3,000 patients are on the special allocation scheme, a registerfor violent address the scourge of anti—semitism or abusive patients. than anybody else, any other these patients are prevented from seeing their local gp political party. we will be talking and receive treatment at secure medical practices. what we can't tolerate is physical aggression or serious verbal to our assistant political editor aggression that puts our front—line about that in just a few minutes‘ staff at risk, and we must always time. act to protect our staff members mps are due to vote this evening and ensure that patients know when they've crossed the line. on the government's brexit strategy. nhs england said that it had the speaker is expected to select a number of amendments. recently introduced a zero—tolerance yesterday the prime minister strategies to protect nhs workers. signalled that there would be david rhodes, bbc news. another vote on her withdrawal agreement by the 12th of march. my colleague, joanna gosling, let's get more is at westminster. on mp5 voting this evening on the government's brexit strategy. this lunchtime, the speaker the prime minister is expected to select has offered the house a number of amendments.

of commons a series of votes. yesterday the prime minister signalled that there would be another vote on her withdrawal she says the uk remains firmly on agreement by the 12th of march. course to leave with a deal as long my colleague, joanna gosling, as mps hold their nerve. writing in the daily mail, theresa may says is at westminster. yes, a lot of those amendments are parliament should do its duty, and now effectively redundant. they were supported deal so that the country pushing for no—deal brexit on 29th can move forward. the prime minister of march to be rolled out, and for offered the house of commons a series of votes, first they will be there to be a possibility of an able to prove whatever deal she extension. one of them wanted that negotiates with the eu by the 12th of march. all enshrined in legislation, the if her plan is rejected, mps will then have the chance, others not so far. now, yesterday, from theresa may her commitment to a the day after, to vote on whether to leave series of votes which would mean we the eu without a deal. if the commons votes would not leave the eu on the 29th against that too, of march without a deal, unless it there'll be another vote by the 14th was explicitly ready for by mps, of march on delaying brexit (ani) beyond the date when britain which will not happen because there is formally due to leave the european union is not a majority in the commons. on march the 29th. lets talk more about what may happen from here on in with the leader of there has been a tabled amendment the liberal democrats, vince cable. pressing for a delay, pressing for a

no—deal brexit on the 29th of march what will materially change if there to be rolled out. you have isa effectively got what you want, what will materially change if there is a delay? i think what it means haven't you? what is the value and that today is a dance, the dramas the amendments now? there's no question that yesterday that today is a dance, the dramas that you might have had this evening was a landmark. yesterday we were 31 won't happen because they have been days from plunging over the cliff on postponed until march the 12th, or the 29th of march into an abyss, a 13. that is when you make the key deal, or no—deal brexit which would decisions about whether to formally have made our country poorer for a to put no—deal on one side. issues generation which have been utterly like the people's vote. there will catastrophic for our industry, our economy and for workers. now, that be some exploratory amendments to makes it much more difficult for that to happen. there is clearly no night, but the final crunch time will not come until the very end. majority in the house to go over the cliff without a deal. that was the not formally putting up now due to bed for ever —— no—deal to bed other key thing from yesterday, not only will more time be necessary to get a deal, but it's clear beyond forever, it will still remain a buy any doubt that there is no majority possibility. theresa may it will not in the house for a no—deal brexit. so how long should the delay be? happen. that was the worry theresa may said it shouldn't be yesterday. people in the cabinet longer than june, and it rightly worried about no—deal have

theresa may said it shouldn't be longer thanjune, and it shouldn't won a short—term victory, they got go beyond the european elections. if that happens, it gives us, as she their point of view heard of but they have not dealt with the said yesterday, a much steeper cliff problem. essentially, the cliff edge has made a bit further down the edge to resolve. no one is looking to protract this road. they are winding down the indefinitely, not least because of clock, but she has wound the clock the desperate insecurity that is ona clock, but she has wound the clock on a bit. what could potentially affecting the economy in the world of work, yesterday we had a very change the dynamic, assuming march powerful meeting with the world of 29 goes by, we are back in the same work chief executives from a whole territory. the only way to avoid the range of industries, employers deal is for mp5 to get behind organisations, the tuc, all saying, theresa may's deal because nothing with one voice, we need a deal as is changing out of eu? well, nothing quickly as possible. it's got to be a deal that works for britain. her will change in the eu. you can see a deal will not go through, therefore, we need to make progress, on the one hand, a customs union, customs sequence of events where some thick arrangement, which will be good news leaf is drawn over this irish for our industries, like the car industry, i've got the jaguar plant in my constituency. on the other backstop problem and enough people are satisfied to vote for it. that hand, stronger guarantees in relation to the protection of isa are satisfied to vote for it. that is a possible scenario. i think when worker's rates. what it comes down we get to the crunch time in march, i think the people demanding no—deal to business, yesterday was a

landmark, today we move forward. be taken of the table will, i think, they will not be a no—deal brexit. get behind something a bit more sorry, are you not going to be in solid. we will vote against it but the same territory after the delay, that has to be given statutory if it happens, it feels inevitable. force. we are talking a few weeks' in that it will be a case of theresa time until the decisive decisions may saying, we don't want to leave are made. the independent group of without a deal, back my deal. her mps wanta are made. the independent group of mps want a second referendum and are deal doesn't rule out, ultimately, the sort of relationship in the tabling and admit to that effect. future that you want to see. so, you'rejoining tabling and admit to that effect. so, you're joining forces on that. theresa may has said thus far, my deal, no deal. it is now clear beyond any doubt that that will not at independent group say that they will notjoin with the lib dems. it beyond any doubt that that will not is not time for you both to join be acceptable to house of commons. what is going to be is that we and forces if you want the same thing?|j think tories talking to tories, tories are forces if you want the same thing?” think we willjoin forces on practical issues. this is a newly going with tories, who are trying to established group, i see it as a placate the european research group, positive thing, it's the breaking up and moved instead to a different of two big parties beginning to dynamic, genuine cross—party dialogue and negotiation to arrive happen. potentially, the liberal ata dialogue and negotiation to arrive at a better deal that will protect democrats disband that match your the national interest. it could get to a point where the mps decide, we will no longer be political consensus is, as you say, liberal democrats we will now be and there is a soft brexit, and then the

come together‘s i don't have a great questions get asked all the more deal or problem with an independent strongly, which is, how does that group of developing their own compare with the status quo, and personality and a new political remaining? and it was looked at, context. we have a lot in common obviously, prior to the referendum, with the the opinion polls are in many said, well, that sort of com pletely with the the opinion polls are completely meaningless. we had a party at which i was about 25%. the agreement is nothing like what we have at the moment, so therefore, start pushing for remain again. pose have the liberal cats on 5—7%, at the moment, what is on offer, and the in up to about 50%. it is falls far short of what we currently enjoy in the european union. our com pletely and the in up to about 50%. it is completely meaningless, they are not task at the next stage is to be a party. this is absurd that people fiercely focused, because the clock is ticking. fiercely focused on can we do is ticking. fiercely focused on can wedoa is ticking. fiercely focused on can we do a deal, that will work for are speculating that way. the fact britain, to do that we require is, we have a lot in common with them. we have a very strong cross— party britain, to do that we require cross—party work. that's what we've done, caroline spelman and myself, yvette cooper, we all came together infrastructure, good organisation. they have enthusiasm, a lot of media to win what was significant progress attention, perfectly deserved. we being made yesterday. now it is will seek to work with them, i'm today, and tomorrow, and ourfocus optimistic this will happen inside

will be on cross—party unity, being and outside parliament. so, the lib maintained, to extract a better deal for britain. thank you very much. dems are going nowhere? i'm not ruling anything out. we are where we are, we have our strengths, which emergency services have been dealing are, we have our strengths, which are enduring. we will establish what with a number of wildfires following the how to swim today on record. the how in practice we actually work largest blaze has been on together. i'm confident it will saddleworth moor near huddersfield in west yorkshire. work. just because you're not ruling out the lib dems no longer being a emergency services say the fire, pause, potentiallyjoining with the one of the biggest moorland fires they've ever had to deal with, is now out. independence. we are a force and we charlotte gallagher reports: will continue to be a force. you are fla mes reeling out of not being a separate flames sneak their way through saddleworth moor, the fire and thick liberal democrat force? we will remaina liberal democrat force? we will smoke visible from miles away. one remain a liberal democrat entity witness described the scene as with our strengths, which are apocalyptic. emergency services were considerable. we have no intentions called here at around 7:30pm from changing to be an independent yesterday, a number of fire engines group. the question is what we can and specialist moorland fire fighting unit spent the early hours do together. the opposition was, you trying to contain the flames, more said you would resign once brexit ci’ews we re trying to contain the flames, more crews were sent this morning as the was resolved. i said that was one of fire continued to blaze.

i think this is possibly one of the the task to be accomplished, to see the task to be accomplished, to see biggest places in west yorkshire for the parties through this difficult wildfire. because it is however it phase, hopefully to the point of getting us a referendum. it looks has a high frame threshold and is like brexit would be on the 29th of combustible. but there's nothing we can't deal with. march, which gives me more today. some drivers found themselves perilously close to the flames, they have you got a backstop for when you would like to go? the backstop is have been no reports of injuries. they have been fires on the moor me. in terms of the time frame, some before, usually in the summer, not in february. this isn't the only are saying that theresa may has said it should be a short delay to wildfire crew have been forced to deal with. after the uk's the article 50, so, two months, hottest winter day on record, they we re certainly not beyond june. some are hottest winter day on record, they were fires on arthurs seat in edinburgh, and here in ashton saying it might come back like the forest, an area made famous by the eu say, that sort of delay or not winnie the pooh novels. with more make any material difference, it has to be longer, it has to be a year. hot weather forecast for today, fire ci’ews a cross that would be perfectly sensible. hot weather forecast for today, fire crews across britain will be hoping for a quieter 2a hours. what we will be saying is if you're getting a short delay, let's use it more on today s main stories coming up on newsroom live for something productive. with those here on the bbc news channel, three months, you could organise a

people's vote, may be slightly but now we say goodbye longer than three months, it could to viewers on bbc two. be done. and that is what we should be done. and that is what we should be focusing on. ideally, would you like the delay to be longer?” be focusing on. ideally, would you like the delay to be longer? i think it would have to be, in practice. everybody we are going to have a delay, even from the primaries we return now to our main story, the minister's point of view, it would make sense to have a longer delay to escalating tension between pakistan negotiate a new arrangement. it and india over kashmir, the disputed would be much more sensible if we negotiated out from within the eu, territory, pakistan said earlier todayit territory, pakistan said earlier today it had shot down to indian air rather than outside. it takes up to the rear realm of having to field force jets in what has been said as candidates for the european an act of aggression of the tensions election. we are ready for that if that happens. in the region —— escalation of the changes in the region. in a moment will talk to asif farooqi in islamabad , but first to our correspondent, sangita myska in delhi pakistan says it has shot down two has there been any official response indian aircraft over kashmir — yet to the downing of these two in a major escalation indian airforcejets? of the conflict there. yes, a short while ago the foreign the deputy leader of the labour party has called ministry here in delhi made a for the mp chris williamson to be

statement in which, what appeared to suspended — after he said the party 5 been too apologetic over anti—semitism. president trump and the north korean have happened, is that there are leader kim jong—un meet for their second face—to—face grey areas over exactly what summit, in the vietnamese happened this morning. let mejust capital, hanoi run you through what the indian authorities say happened. they claim marks and spencer has confirmed that pakistani jets entered their recent speculation that it's to launch a joint venture airspace over the disputed region of with grocery delivery firm, ocado. the deal will see m&s take a 50% kashmir, and during an aerial stake at a cost of £750 million. it means ocado's 19 year engagement, one pakistani fighter relationship with rival supermarket, waitrose, will end. jet was downed, and it fell onto pakistani territory. they then went on to say that one indian fighter jet was downed, and the pilot, in the bbc and itv are in advanced talks to create a rival to netflix. their words, was last. they said the bbc‘s director—general says they were investigating what they the aim is to launch britbox, as it will be called, in the uk the second claim are claims that the pakistani half of the year. authorities by that the pilot was in their custody. claim and the paid—for service is already up and running in the united states, cou ntercla i m their custody. claim and where it launched two years ago. counterclaim has been the pattern the service will screen archive here, in this most recent programmes, new series, manifestation of the tension between and specially commissioned shows — and is expected to sign up other the two countries. are there any uk broadcasters too. signs they are of substantial

effo rts signs they are of substantial efforts to try to de—escalate the the finances of more than 10,000 former wonga situation? customers are being "damaged from beyond the grave" — that's so, what we heard this morning, was according to a committee of mps. a statement from india's foreign wonga fell into administration in august last year, with customers awaiting a ruling on whether they were mis—sold loans. minister, she is currently in china, many have given up hope that they'll and she made quite a long statement, essentially, it boils down to two get an answer or any compensation. points. one was that india has a long—standing commitment to, in her words, targeting militants that let's get more on that tie up india believes are based on between m&s and ocado. pakistani soil, and not engaging the they move will allow m&s to sell and deliver food products by pakistani soil, and not engaging the pakistani military. then she went on to say that india has no intention they move will allow m&s to sell and deliverfood products by the they move will allow m&s to sell and deliver food products by the ocado website. it will also allow customers to do if you'll chop on of escalating tensions any further than they already are. really line. joining us now is emma shipp, partner and head of business services at hewitsons law firm. interesting to see, i think, as this let's talk about why this might be story develops over time, just how happening, because we have seen other firms are trying to join little delhi is actually saying on the record. much of that, as you forces. but this one is set to get

say, is because what we've seen in the go—ahead, quite an interesting the past couple of weeks, his claim merger of the two sides. definitely and counterclaim, by both the an interesting merger, and answer any past few days. we have seen pakistanis and indians. as you have other firms trying to merge, the alluded to, the disputed area of sainsbury‘s and asda deal, these are kashmir has been one that india and different ways. they have the second pakistan have fought over since and third largest supermarket in the partition in 19117. they have been uk trying to come together, so that three wars over the sovereignty of was always going to have some that state. this is, as you have regulatory issues, which we have seen the announce. this one is suggested, the biggest flare—up of tension that we have seen since the different. you have m&s, the 19905. retailer, you have an online we must leave it there, thank you platform coming together. it does very much. we hope to get to seem to make a lot of sense, certainly, from ocado's point of islamabad in a few minutes. right view. what does this do potentially now we take you live to hanoi in allow to happen? what it change? vietnam, where we are anticipating the arrival of the us president, essentially, the ocado and waitrose relationship is coming to an end donald trump, and the north korean after nearly 20 years. ocado has a leader kimjong donald trump, and the north korean leader kim jong un, donald trump, and the north korean leader kimjong un, for their second strategy of adding retailers to its summit between the two. following on peak, it's got morrisons, it's got from the summit in singapore injune

last year. during which, they canadian shops, french shops, this makes a lot of sense from ocado is point of view. it also wants to promised to make further efforts to improve its investment in its work towards a denuclearisation of the korean peninsular. our cutting—edge robotic technology platform, warehouse platform. again, this gives it a bit of a war chest correspondent, lorna becker, is to be able to do that. so i think there waiting for them to arrive. from ocado's point of view, you can really see sense and this from. laura, donald chambers going into from ocado's point of view, you can really see sense and this fromm this summit is talking about my you look at the share price, m&s shares are down on this deal, ocado friend kimjong this summit is talking about my friend kim jong un, this summit is talking about my friend kimjong un, talking about the awesome potential for north shares are down on this deal, ocado shares are down on this deal, ocado shares are up. what does tells about korea to develop, can all of this what investors make of it? it is an translate into something substantial? —— donald siambr. interesting one for investors. obviously, m&s have already said they will fund this with a rights that is certainly offer donald trump issue and cutting the dividend to is making. this morning he tweeted shareholders voted by a0%, that may be something plain on their minds. that vietnam could be the perfect the other aspect is how will this role model for what he has dubbed work in practice. the average rocket man. he would like kimjong unto be eight different kind of shopping basket of an m&s food rocket man, an economic one. that is customer is £13. that's a far cry they are for the us is putting on from the shops that people do at

they are for the us is putting on the table. if you give up their weapons, realise we are no longer waitrose, waitrose, at the moment. enemies, then we will allow at the ocado delivery cut off is £40 investment into your country, and economic prosperity will follow. per shop, so how does that work. i that is the offer from the us. on think there are little questions the north korean side, they have to about that which might be engaging make serious moves to give up their the mind at the moment. that nuclear weapons. certainly, if make serious moves to give up their nuclearweapons. certainly, if they are to receive any kind of easing of difference is really pretty stark. i wonder what this means for customers. up until now, people sanctions. you can maybe see the might have used the ocado service to motorcade passing me now, that's why get hold of waitrose goods. as the i can't go in front of the camera. thinking here that you can just swap we are expecting one of the leaders out the waitrose ones and you just to get out of the car right now. switch in m&s ones. is that how they certainly they are going to meet, seeit? initially, then go and have dinner. switch in m&s ones. is that how they see it? that could be part of the hopefully, it will give the leaders reasoning. obviously, waitrose would prefer not, they have their own chance to talk. remember, this is online delivery service which is why the second time they've met, donald the this relationship is coming to trump said they fell in love, so now an end. from ocado and m&s point of it's time to see if that kind of showmanship between them can turn view, that must be part of the into something of substance over the next two days. light given. given business strategy. thank you for joining us.

the undertakings last time we are pretty vague how much pressure are they under to come up with concrete, let me show you what is happening on the numbers. m&s shares down 9.25%, verifiable steps towards denuclearisation this time? ocado up by. who stands to gain it certainly must be stressful for most. it is a 50—50 joint venture, the men in the negotiating room. they've been negotiating for the but may be are getting more out of last week at working level trying to this deal than m&s. ted baker are hammer outan last week at working level trying to hammer out an agreement for donald champ and kimjong unto sign. i also down 12 and a half percent. it think, certainly, when it comes to pressure it's on the united stage. says currency movements, weak pound, many criticise trump for meeting product costs have gone up, and a with kimjong many criticise trump for meeting with kim jong un and many criticise trump for meeting with kimjong un and giving him this write—down on unsold stock. that has global platform. he has certainly a really wide on its share price, not been able to see any concrete meaning profits are coming in lower. what are the ones to watch today are evidence, nothing has come from it and north korea still remains a m&s and ocado after the use of that. threat. so, this time, if he's going

to keep his reputation as the ultimate deal—maker donald trump must really nail down some kind of detailed agreements between him and kimjong it's almost time for a prime detailed agreements between him and kim jong un. north ministers questions, due to gateway detailed agreements between him and kimjong un. north korea are under some kind of pressure, although if on the way shortly in the house of you speak to those who go in and out commons. of pyongyang, they say there are no it will precede mps' voting later signs that the strict economic sanctions are having an effect. but, on amendments to the uk's brexit negotiating strategy, theresa may has urged when it comes to kim jong un them to "do their duty" and "hold their nerve." let's cross over sanctions are having an effect. but, when it comes to kimjong un because mag a promise to his people that he to westminster where we can speak will put food on the table, and give to our assistant political editor, them economic prosperity, that he norman smith, who is will give them basics like in central lobby. electricity, at some point he's going to have to make good on those it is going to be another promises. to do that he needs sanctions easing. certainly he will interesting club to. we have a whole be pushing for that over the next two days, but whether or not he will afternoon of brexit debate in ahead get it until he gives up, i show of us. there are signs that one of some substantial measures that is going to give up his nuclear the amendments due to be debated today has been put down by a weapons, it's unlikely the united states will give away their diplomatic tool is too soon. there conservative mp, which would seek to

is no guarantee or no desire on the guarantee the legal rights of eu pa rt is no guarantee or no desire on the part of mr kim to give up his citizens in the uk if there is no—deal. yesterday, mrs may was country's or entire arsenal of nuclear weapons? asked about it and seem to suggest it was going to be difficult to do luck, if you speak to any analyst, i because there was no agreement on the eu side, because you have to get think they will say that after decades of trying to develop a 27 other eu countries to sign up to. nuclear bomb it's unlikely that today, the home secretary whose north korea and kimjong un will give away what they describe as responsibility it is, seem to indicate that the government was their treasured sword. i think many poised to back light amendment. believe that one of the reasons for this diplomatic outreach is for the world to accept kim jong un as a you asked me specifically about an amendment to davis of the judge normal leader of a country that has asked me what was wrong with that nuclear weapons. many believe that management? when did you hear the is, indeed, his main goal here. in government wasn't supporting it? terms of, certainly denuclearisation from the prime minister. did you? asa terms of, certainly denuclearisation as a long—term goal, kimjong un will have to give up something. if he won something in return from the sajid javid seemingly not in the united states. when it comes to, loop what the prime minister said

yesterday. fast forward to today, certainly, the promise between the let me give you this fact, guess how two nations and whether or not kim jong un is two nations and whether or not kim jong unis willing to give up his many times jeremy corbyn has let me give you this fact, guess how many timesjeremy corbyn has gone on weapons, he may not be willing to give away all his nuclear arsenal. brexit the last times he's been at but the united states will have to do enough to try to at least come a long term, look as if they are pushing north korea into a deal that pmqs? the eight last pmqsjeremy can be accepted by the international corbyn has going on, he has gone on community. let's look at it from the brexit. so if you go today, it will point of view of the international be mine in a row. if you think back community. north korea is a global to earlyjeremy corbyn, is used to threat, it has nuclear weapons capable of reaching the united avoid brexit like a barge boat. now, he doesn't want to talk about states. that's the reason president anything else. it also underlines trump has north korea around the the extent to which brexit has negotiating table and is speaking to sucked the life out of this place kimjong negotiating table and is speaking to kim jong un. that's what this is all from every other issue. the only about. when it comes to what the us show in town is brexit. will mr believes, that's why kim jong un corbin go for nine in a row? i'm will not want to give away his nuclear arsenal too soon. because guessing that he will, giving the right now, it's got him on the row back from mrs my yesterday over stage. whether or not he can stay on a possible delay to exit. he has his the stage, whether or not the usa is

own difficulties on the brexit front going to be willing to continue bargaining if they don't see of that confusion over labours concrete measures, that's something position on another referendum. we will see down the line. whether he is enthusiastic about it, as well as providing a distraction or as some suggest, just a little from domestic woes, how important is it for donald trump, you are a bit uneasy? so, we wait to see whether mr corbin makes it a nine former washington correspondent, how important is it for mr trump to brexit pmqs in a book. another demonstrate progress here as he looks to 2020 and re—election? subjectjeremy brexit pmqs in a book. another subject jeremy corbyn will brexit pmqs in a book. another subjectjeremy corbyn will be thinking about today are the comments made by his close friend, donald trump has made north korea a chris williamson, who said that key pa rt labour had been too apologetic on donald trump has made north korea a key part of foreign policy. it's one of the things he touts at his theissue labour had been too apologetic on the issue of anti—semitism. ed rallies. when you hearfrom his base miliband tweeted that chris it's one of the things they say he williamson is bringing the labour has done well, he did better than party into disrepute and this is a president obama, they say. he is test of seriousness on our part about the whole issue, and not sorting out north korea. if he is going into the election in 2020 and manages to try to get a good deal simplya about the whole issue, and not simply a apology |s about the whole issue, and not simply a apology is required. who is calling for what at the moment? the with north korea, he is likely to be able to attempt on his campaign deputy leader, tom watson, calling stage as he heads around the united for deputy leader, tom watson, calling foer deputy leader, tom watson, calling for mr williamson to be suspended.

states. if he gets a bad deal, then, while this matters is notjust because chris williamson is an mp, certainly, the democrats and and we have not had an mp suspended democratic candidates will be able to say you gave away too much, too soon, to one of the dictators of for anti—semitic behaviour. but this world. so i think it's a bit of also, because mr williamson is a close ally ofjeremy corbyn, one of a gamble for donald trump. so far it his loud is jalili is here at seems to be paying off for him with his base. remind us then, to bring westminster. mr corbin watch the show that he gets it, he understands us back to the right now, what we there is an issue around are expecting to happen. the two men are expecting to happen. the two men are going to have a brief meeting anti—semitism. this is a test for him to discipline one of his own. ahead of dinner? tell us a bit more the question is, will he take action about events we are expecting in against chris williamson, given that hanol about events we are expecting in hanoi, and what might happen he is very much a jeremy corbyn supporter. what we have heard so far tomorrow. from the labour party is that they well, their menu has been agreed, i wa nt from the labour party is that they want mr williamson to say sorry and think there has been, we hearfrom withdraw his remarks. not good someone, there has been a bit of a enough, say some of mr corbin's run around to figure out what you critics. they view chris williamson put on the menu. they will have that dinner, then we will have brief discussions, initial discussions. as emblematic of the moment, whether

earlier they had been talks jeremy corbyn will really get to happening over the last week, to try grips with the anti—semitism issue. to get some kind of agreement on the bubbling away in the background, we are part of the reason why those table. it might be that they aren't eight labour mps decided to leap quite there yet and want to meet overboard last week was because of again tomorrow. we know that tomorrow, they will be enabling their fear that the allegations of anti—semitism werejust together, and a number of occasions, their fear that the allegations of anti—semitism were just not been taken seriously enough. to that end, while teams go backwards and it seemed mr corbin was trying to forwards. that's the next couple of get on top of it by his announcement at the start of the week that he was days, meanwhile, the north korean going to call in tony blair's delegation has been touring parts of bhopal, lord faulkner, top legal vietnam that they believe are of economic interest. when it comes to vietnam it is one of these countries that could provide a model for north bigwig, to cast an eye over the korea, a country one set ball with whole complaints procedure, some the united states, it remains a oversight, some fresh momentum of tackling the issue. that was one one—party communist state, but it stepjeremy tackling the issue. that was one step jeremy corbyn tackling the issue. that was one stepjeremy corbyn took but he will now be under even bigger pressure to reformed its economy has become one ta ke of the fastest growing economies in now be under even bigger pressure to take action over chris williamson. albeit, jeremy corbyn himself is not asia. so when it comes to touting in charge of the disciplinary economic success of vietnam, they've process , in charge of the disciplinary process, that is one step removed. had a number of north koreans having

a look at factories, one of kim jong for all the demands and pressures on mr corbin to take action, at the end un's main aids, she used to be a member of the band which is a k—pop of the day, it is not he who decides the sanctions that might be imposed. to that extent it is one removed from jeremy corbyn, although i'm band in north korea. she has been at sure many will see this as i a tourist centre. in north korea critical test on whether the party is really going to get to grips with they have built 170 buildings, hopefully in preparation to open various tourist businesses. north anti—semitism. korea are taking a good look around, and much of the success of this prime ministers‘ questions are due summit will depend on if kimjong un to get underway shortly likes what he sees. as we watch in the house of commons. it will precede mps' voting later on amendments to the uk's brexit these images from hanoi, and as you negotiating strategy, log on, it strikes me that, you theresa may has urged know, without these two specific them to "do their duty" personalities at this time, kim jong and "hold their nerve." just a un and donald trump, that justa reminder combination of those personalities, just a reminder that the vote, those none of these meetings would happen? votes, will be ahead of another series of votes next month. their exactly. these are two unpredictable vote to approve whether the deal

theresa may negotiates with the eu leaders, with, a kind of by the 12th of march is acceptable unpredictable agenda. somehow, to mp5. if that plan is rejected they've managed to come together, that would be a second rejection of and whether or not this approach will work long term, we're not sure. theresa may's deal. mps would have a chance to vote on whether to leave but certainly, in seoul, where i'm based, its an approach that's being the eu without a deal. the no deal applauded. one of the things they are watching out for is whether or scenario. if that is rejected, they not they can end the korean war. it would be another vote on the 14th of america's longest war, called the march, on delaying brexit. the prime forgotten war, fighting ended in 1953 but there was never a peace minister is getting to her feet. treaty only an armistice. when it comes to what they are looking out thank you, mr speaker. mr speaker, in south korea on the border they hope that at some point the talks may i say that the uk is deeply will lead to not just hope that at some point the talks will lead to notjust an end of the concerned about rising tensions ward agreement, but a peace treaty. between india and pakistan. and urgently calls for restraint on both that will take a long—term agreement sides to avoid further escalation. between the two leaders. but perhaps we are in regular contact with both something they can do is declare an countries are urging dialogue and end to the korean war, we aren't diplomatic solutions to ensure quite sure if they are there yet. stability. we are working closely

certainly we will find out very with international partners including the un security council to soon. what is the reaction to all of this de—escalate tensions. we are marching the developments closely and considering the implications for in south korea ? british nationals. i understand that what is the reaction to all of this in south korea? in vietnam, of course? someone in your office retires at the end of this week, she has worked in south korea it is optimism and forfour speakers, hope. they have been through this the end of this week, she has worked for four speakers, and the whole house we want to wish me the very for 70 years sorry to interrupt you, wish her the very best for the the us president has arrived in the future. this morning i had meetings midst of that cavalcade. in additional to my duties in this we are now seeing live pictures of house and will have further meetings later today. the two. let's listen. have you thank you, mr speaker, and thank you for that initial response. mr looked back at all? no. thank you speaker, in the response of total failure to secure the agreement of this house, when will the prime minister called time on this farce all very much, thank you. just a extending article 50, and putting her deal verses remain to the very brief comment from donald people. cani people. can i say to the honourable gentleman i made a statement trump, standing alongside kimjong yesterday enhanced at 82 questions on these issues. we will be bringing un as they pose for the cameras.

the meaningful vote backed by the just being asked they have you 12th of march, as i said yesterday. walked back on denuclearisation, to if that mean for voters rejected which he gave the briefest of again by the house, then we would responses, that was the word, no. then on the 13th of march, have a vote in this house on whether or not the two are chatting via the this house accepts leaving without a translators and smiling at one another. in the midst of that deal on the 29th of march. if that cavalcade, and the melee of security is rejected then they would be a surrounding the motorcades, the two vote on a short limited extension to men have managed to enter that building, to pose for the cameras, article 50. on his final point, i continue to believe it is right for and we are told they are going to be us to deliver on the result of the having a 20 minute discussion ahead of dinner. yes, we think there will referendum of 2016. thank you, mr speaker. the 2017 birmingham bin be an hour—long dinner, maybe 20 strike led to mass fly—tipping minutes of discussion. when it comes across my beautiful town of to optimism and hope, one of the solihull. with the threat of another strike ever present when the prime main places where they hope to minister joined strike ever present when the prime ministerjoined me in urging access main places where they hope to a ccess m o re main places where they hope to access more than anywhere else is birmingham council to be a good south korea. they have lived with neighbour, sort out the strikes. this roller—coaster relationship we've seen a taster of what would

with the north for nearly 70 years. happen under a hard left each time, as the flat increases and government,. i say to my honourable decreases, it waxes and wanes, that friend, obviously, this is a matter hope increases as well. when it for being in city council to comes to what south koreans want, resolve, for labour—controlled they want stability, a relationship birmingham city council to control. with the north they can rely on. rubbish piling up because of the failure of a labour council to get a certainly, when it comes to grip. not only does it show what a investors in south korea, they are ha rd left salivating at the prospect they may grip. not only does it show what a hard left labour government would be be able to head up more and perhaps like, it shows all of us that under labour councils you pay more, and ta ke be able to head up more and perhaps take advantage of any opportunity. get less. jeremy corbyn. thank you, but, that cannot happen while sanctions remain. a lot of the hard mr speaker. there is an urgent question coming up on kashmir, just bargaining may still remain to be to say this, we strongly support done, it may be between donald trump and kim jong dialogue, rapid dialogue, between done, it may be between donald trump and kimjong in. certainly, that is india and pakistan to reduce the what we are waiting for over the next couple of days. now that this complex, reduce the tension and deal with the root causes before more official meeting is on hotel behind lives are lost. i also join the me, this summit as well and truly prime minister in wishing even a begun. there is a chance that very happy retirement. she has been brilliant in your office over many something could come out of it. but yea rs of brilliant in your office over many

when it comes to donald trump, he years of people rushing in and out of the office making unreasonable will be hoping that, this time, he demands, she has always sorted it is able to go home and sell adl of out. could you pass on the thanks of lots of backbenchers over many substance over is able to go home and sell adl of yea rs. lots of backbenchers over many years. the bank of england forecasts that growth for this year will be su bsta nce over style. the slowest in over a decade. does the slowest in over a decade. does the prime minister blame her we saw those images from hanoi in shambolic handling of brexit? or her failed austerity policies for this vietnam. donald trump and kimjong damaging failure? can i say to the un meeting for their second summit in undera year. un meeting for their second summit in under a year. the energies that right honourable gentleman, first, everybody wants to see as we look at he should have seen the report that those two personalities in wonder at showed that the expectation is we anything concrete can be achieved will have higher growth in this country over the coming year than towards the nuclear rotation of the korean peninsula. they will have in germany. he talks now it's time for a about the economy, he talks about look at the weather. the economy, lets say what we see and a conservative government, more people in work than ever before, and employment at lowest level since the 19705, employment at lowest level since the apologies. i think we have a slight 1970s, borrowing at its lowest level for 17 years, and the largest microphone issue. let's see if we monthly surplus on record.

conservatives delivering more jobs, can give simon a few seconds the healthier finances and an economy sort that out fillip. hello, simon. fit for the future. jeremy corbyn. i my sort that out fillip. hello, simon. my sincere apologies for having know the prime minister is very minor content. we are going to see some changes and the next 2a hours. busy, but she possibly hasn't had a chance to look at the bank of today, warm sunshine across the uk, mice are interpreters getting up to england forecasts, which suggests there is one in four chance the uk 14-18d. in the economy will dip into recession. mice are interpreters getting up to 14—18d. in the london area, it may reach up to 19, not quite as high as manufacturing is already in recession. car manufacturing declined at the steepest rate for a at 21.2 degrees that we saw yesterday, but still warm enough. decade, down 5% in the last quarter tonight, we will initially see clear alone. honda, jaguar land rover and nissan have also announced cuts to skies, especially in eastern parts. it is in the waste that we will see jobs or investment in recent months. changes, the cloud are starting to does the prime minister blame her move and, temperatures romanian shambolic brexit? or her 4-6d. a little move and, temperatures romanian 4—6d. a little chilly out the further east you are. during government's lack of industrial strategy for this very sad state of thursday, in very different day, affairs? lots more cloud. shouting out pics of rain, pitifully for england and cani affairs? can i say i've just explained to him wales but significantly cooler. what we see, the positives of this

government in relation to this economy. the consistent growth, quarter by quarter, we have seen in our economy under this government. it would be worse for the economy in this country if there was a run on the pound capital flight, this country if there was a run on the pound capitalflight, 1000 billion borrowing under a labour government. jeremy corbyn. as the manufacturing industry decline since its well—paid jobs that are lost. there is something increasing, that is the income of the top fifth richest people in this country, which went up by 4.7% last year, while incomes of the poorest fell by 1.6%. with the poorest people worse off, when the prime minister now commit... will be prime minister now commit... will be prime minister now commit to ending the benefit freeze, or does she believe that rising poverty is a price worth paying?

perhaps it might have again to look at some of the facts. the top 1%, the top 1% are paying 28% of income tax, that's higher than at any time under a labour government. income inequality is lower than that we inherited from the labour government. and the lowest earners saw the fastest pay rise in 20 years through the national minimum —— living wage. conservatives building afairer living wage. conservatives building a fairer society for everyone. some of us cannot forget it was the conservative party that opposed the principle of the national minimum wage from the very beginning. mr speaker, the government code, perhaps, start tackling the scourge of low pay in their own departments? the business and justice department paid central london workers as

little as £7.83 per hour. they have been on strike again this week hoping to get a london living wage. could the primed to intervene and make sure they get at the london living wage, so that they can continue doing their valuable work for both of the departments? low pay means many workers have to claim universal credit just to make means many workers have to claim universal creditjust to make ends meet. this month, the work and pensions secretary admitted that universal credit is driving people to food banks. isn't it time to stop the roll—out, and get it right, what does she believe that rising poverty isa does she believe that rising poverty is a price worth paying? i'm not sure whether the right gent—macro is repeating his previous question, can i just gent—macro is repeating his previous question, can ijust say gent—macro is repeating his previous question, can i just say first of all, he talks about universal credit, what we have said with universal credit is that as we roll it out, we have made changes to it, as we have seen how it has been

operating. in my first months as prime minister we cut the rate so people kept more of what they earn. we have increased allowances to 100% ofa we have increased allowances to 100% of a full monthly payment, clap brought in a two—week overlap for those people on housing benefits. the question is, why when we were making all those changes to universal credit to benefit the people who are getting universal credited the labour party oppose every single of them? cani every single of them? can ijust give one example, mr speaker, of what's happening. take for example the food bank in hastings, represented by the dwp's secretary. demand has gone up by 80% after universal credit was rolled out. the trestle chest report says

that a significant proportion of referrals are relating to benefit changes, delays or sanctions. a huge increase in food bank uses. 4.1 million of our children are growing up million of our children are growing up in poverty. the uk foundation said uk child poverty was on course to hit record levels. with the prime minister take action to prevent this? will she start by ending the two child limit, but she and the benefit cap, where she was the 1000 sure start centres last under her government? —— will she restore the 1000 sure start centres. what we want to ensure is that we have a welfare system that is fair to those who need to use it, but is also fair to all those people those hard—working taxpayers whose taxes go to pay for the welfare system. he

talks about child poverty, absolute child poverty is at a record low, we know a child growing up in a home where all the adults work is around five times less likely to be in poverty than a home where nobody works. and at this government the number of children in workless households is at a record low. so when he stands up, will he recognise that work is the best route out of poverty, and when he recognised that talking of work you should welcome the fact that we have more people in work than ever before. 3.5 million people than in 20 ten. it clearly isn't working, because so many people who are working very ha rd many people who are working very hard sometimes doing two or even threejobs, hard sometimes doing two or even three jobs, have two access food banksjust to three jobs, have two access food banks just to feed their children. she used to talk about the just about managing, well, they're not

managing any more. income inequality is up, in work poverty is up, child poverty is up, pension equality up, homelessness of. mr speaker, austerity... austerity is clearly not over. people on low incomes are getting poorer while those at the top get richer. the economy is slowing, manufacturing is in recession, and this government's or shambolic handling of brexit... recession, and this government's or shambolic handling of brexit. .. de right honourable gentleman will not be shouted down. it isn't going to happen, the attempt is foolish and demeans the house. stop it! go up! jeremy corbyn. austerity is clearly not over, people on low income are getting poorer while those at the top get richer. the economy is slowing, manufacturing is in recession and

the government's shambolic handling of brexit is compounding years of damaging austerity. policies are driving people to food banks and poverty in the fifth richest economy on this planet. are any of these, any of these burning injustices, a priority for the prime minister? manufacturing is not in recession. cani manufacturing is not in recession. can i say to the right honourable gentleman that it is not the case that what he says about the lowest earners. if he listened to my answer, the lowest earners have seen the highest rise in their pay for 20 yea rs the highest rise in their pay for 20 years as the highest rise in their pay for 20 yea rs as a the highest rise in their pay for 20 years as a result of the introduction of the national living wage, national living wage introduced by a conservative led government. and if he is talking about actually helping people in work, let's talk about the fact that we've cut income tax to help people keep more of what they earn. we

froze fuel duty, helping people where card is a necessity not a luxury. since 2010, those measures have saved working people 6500 pounds. from the way they right honourable gentleman talks, you would have thought that he would have supported them, but what did he do? he has voted against them over a dozen times. that's the reality. it's working people who always pay the price for labour. thank you, mr speaker, four rural areas a ccess thank you, mr speaker, four rural areas access to emergency care is hugely important with distances and julie times —— journey time is crucial. the people who signed a petition against proposals to remove an a&e from a pembrokeshire hospital, means the welsh government need to look again at this meaning communities like mine aren't left

with second—class services that put lives at risk. i recognise the concern that people feel when, particularly those living furthest away, from plans new hospitals. as he has said, obviously, health is a devolved matter for the labour welsh government. i urge them, funny, to consider the impact of these changes. we want to be able to ensure people can access the services they need wherever they live. ian blackford. i am sure the house wa nt to ian blackford. i am sure the house want tojoin ian blackford. i am sure the house want to join me ian blackford. i am sure the house want tojoin me in ian blackford. i am sure the house want to join me in welcoming ian blackford. i am sure the house want tojoin me in welcoming the president of the dutch senate and dutch parliamentarians that are with us. i'd like to welcome them. mr speaker, 100,000 jobs in scotland are under threat from a no—deal brexit. the scottish government's a top economic adviser has warned that this could create a recession worse

than the 2008 financial crisis. the prime minister must rule out no deal, right here, right now. why is she still blackmailing the people of this country? de right honourable gentleman might not be surprised if i point out that there are only two ways to ensure no deal is taken off the table. it's no good members of the snp shaking their heads, or mix it —— michael matching from a sedentary position, we will not revoke article 50, the only way to take no deal of the table is to vote for the deal.” think it will be for parliament to decide, of course, there are options. we can extend article 50 and have a peoples vote. prime minister, look at the faces of your car lease, you are fooling no one.

parliament will not be bullied into a false choice of accepting her very bad deal have no deal at all. mp5 from scotland must now decide. will they stand up for scotland, where they stand up for scotland, where they stand up with the extreme brexiteers and the tory benches? today the scottish national party will move an amendment to rule out no deal under any, and all, circumstances. scottish mps can back the snp, all betray voters in scotland. mr speaker, with the prime minister finally scotland. mr speaker, with the prime ministerfinally end scotland. mr speaker, with the prime minister finally end this madness, and vote for the snp amendment tonight? cani tonight? can i say to the right honourable gentleman, he talks about an extension or a second referendum, that doesn't actually solve the problem. it doesn't deal with the issue. do we want to leave with a dealer without a deal? that's the

question snp mps, and every other mp face when the time comes. then we talk about betraying voters in scotland. i'll tell him what betrayed voters in scotland, snp scottish government that have raised income tax, so that people in scotla nd income tax, so that people in scotland are paying more in income tax than anywhere else in the uk. an snp scottish government that broke its manifesto promise and raise the cap on annual council tax increases for homeowners. and snp scottish government that claims people are facing the prospect of an extra tax for parking at their workplace. all of that... for parking at their workplace. all of that. .. order! order! there for parking at their workplace. all of that... order! order! there is lots of undignified arm waving, and bellowing occurring from a sedentary position. calm yourself. take some sort of soothing predicament that you will find beneficial. the scottish government blocked

grant from westminster went up. there are real people betraying the people of scotland are the snp scottish government. thank you, mr speaker. yesterday, we heard of the horrific anti—semitic attack on an elderlyjewish gentleman in north london. tonight, honourable and right honourable collea g u es honourable and right honourable colleagues from across the house will break bread with the community security trust, a charity that exists to defend against anti—semitic violence. will he agree that we can never be too blase about anti—semitic violence? we can never tolerate anti—semitic violence, and the party opposite can never be too apologetic about it. cani apologetic about it. can i say i'd like tojoin my honourable friend in recognising the work that is done by the community

security trust. they do such important and valuable work throughout the year, i'm pleased the government is able to support the work they do. my honourable friend is absolutely right, you can never be too apologetic about anti—semitism. this sums up what we've heard of labour under their leader. they lose the honourable memberfor leader. they lose the honourable member for liverpool and keep the honourable member for derby north. it tells you all you need to know about the labour leadership, present but not involved. perhaps if the labour leader actually wants to take action against racism, he would suspend the honourable memberfor derby north. order! the honourable lady must be heard. thank you, mr speaker. one homeless person dying on our streets

is enough for national shame, latest figures show that in 2017 they were nearly 600. in that same year the vagrancy act was used over 1000 times to drag homeless people before our courts. crisis, centrepoint, saint mangoes and mp5 on both sides of the house agree it's time to scrap this law. with the prime minister consider meeting with us, and the charities, so we can make the case of why we shouldn't wait one more day? i say to the honourable lady, as i think i indicated in the previous questions last week. we have seen, in terms of the number of people on our streets, numbers are down for the first time in eight years. of course there is more to do on that issue. on the wider issue of homelessness. more to do in terms of building more homes and we are doing that. i will ensure the relevant minister meets the honourable lady to discuss this.

robert neill. thank you, mr speaker. residents in north point house in my constituency have cladding on the building. they are paying £5,000 a week for a waking watch, who appears will cost £3 million and they have a fire brigade enforcement notice expiring on the 30th of april. their flats are valueless, they cannot raise the money against them. the freehold is undeveloped but, despite intervention by the secretary of state, for which i'm grateful, refused accept liability. will the government accept it may be necessary to intervene directly to ensure those innocent flat owners aren't out—of—pocket? first of all, he has raised an important issue, i know he has been in touch with the ministry of housing, communities and local government and the treasury about this. as i have said we fully expect building owners and the private sector to take action, and make sure

appropriate safety measures are replaced. we have written to all the releva nt replaced. we have written to all the relevant building owner is reminding them of their responsibilities. they must do the right thing, and if they don't, we aren't ruling anything out. i also point out that local authorities have the power to com plete authorities have the power to complete works, and recover costs, from the private owners of high—rise residential buildings. i am sure that a ministerfrom residential buildings. i am sure that a minister from the mhc lg would be happy to meet with my honourable friend to continue to discuss this matter and ensure residents are given the peace of mind they need by the action being taken. caroline lucas. mr speaker, in the event of a no deal backs at the government has decided that imports of medical supplies are to be handled by the same company that forced hundreds of restaurants are close because it was incapable of delivering check into kfc. it is literally horrifying that the prime minister's stubbornness is putting people up as michael lives at risk through bargain bucket supply deals.

what guarantee can she give to patients watching us now, looking at this pantomime and fast now, what guarantee can she give that they will be able to get their vital medicines when they need them in the event of that no—deal brexit? may i say to the honourable lady that the department for health and social care is taking necessary steps to ensure medicines are available. we have been clear it's not necessarily for patients to stockpile. medicines will be available. if the honourable lady is so concerned about the impact of no deal, then... it's no good shaking her head. there is a very simple answer. if she doesn't want no deal, she should support the deal. mr speaker, the sun newspaper reported yesterday of a 1.6 billion

post—eu fund, for deprived areas in the north, predominantly held by opposition mps. when my right honourable friend ensure this fund is available to constituencies like mine where we have significant separation and disadvantage. we will be introducing a fund to ensure our terms can grow and prosper, and details of this would be announced in due course by my right honourable friend the communities secretary. i can confirm that harlow and other towns across england will be able to bring forward ambitious plans to help transform their communities, and we will be working with the devolved administrations and northern ireland to ensure towns in wales, scotland and northern ireland benefit from time deals. asa time deals. as a former shop steward, i com pletely as a former shop steward, i completely understand the need to approach the cliff edge in order to secure a deal. but rational

negotiators never go to the edge, all hands andjump negotiators never go to the edge, all hands and jump into the abyss. when will the prime minister recognise that constructive discussions should take place without to the nuclear option of mutually assured destruction? constructive discussions are taking place. this house was clear what it wa nted place. this house was clear what it wanted to see changed in relation to their withdrawal agreement. the deal we brought back from the eu, we are making progress and having the discussions he talks about. mr speaker, public trust is dangerously low, a failure to deliver those results cannot be an option. i campaigned to remain but i'm100% committed to leaving. most of my voters said they wanted to be on the common market, not a political union. given the clear warnings from the life science and agriculture sectors about the danger of no deal can i welcome the

decision to give their sovereign house the vote, and asked if the house votes again she looks at other options from the backstop. as i said yesterday in the answer to questions, i think it was in answer toa questions, i think it was in answer to a question from the member for harlow. their first aim to a question from the member for harlow. theirfirst aim is to a question from the member for harlow. their first aim is to to a question from the member for harlow. theirfirst aim is to bring back a meaningful vote that command support across the house. we are able to leave with a deal. if arrangements within the political declaration, i believe have significant benefits in relation to issues such as customs, they also provide an independent trade policy and bring an end to free movement. my and bring an end to free movement. my honourable friend talks about trust in politics, those were important elements of what people voted for in 2016, and it's important we deliver on that. the prime minister regional committee to a meaningful vote on how deal but had to be called by the

courts to hold it. she then committed to it in december and included at the last minute. when her vote fell to their worst defeat in committee history, instead of listening to mp5, she carried on regardless. i ask the prime minister what work we should give this house that we will be able to stop a no—deal brexit before the 29th of march? i set out clearly in my statement yesterday, i have repeated it today, that the process that the government will follow. the government will follow. the government policy is to leave with a deal. we are working to ensure we can bring back that deal. she talks about the rejection of the mean of about the rejection of the mean of about under listening to parliament. the discussions i'm having with the eu are exactly about listening to parliament. it is all very well the shadow trade secretary shouting nonsense. he might not have noticed that on the 20th of january this house waited for a majority to say what it wanted to see in the

withdrawal agreement and that is what we are working on. for brief pa rents, what we are working on. for brief parents, the grief of a brie child is beyond words. which is why i champion the honourable lady from swa nsea champion the honourable lady from swansea east. will the pines that tell us when they good work of her minister will come to fruition and that fund will begin to bring support and is all this? mr speaker, we cannot mend broken hearts, but those who have loved and lost deserve better than the light and doubt. i thank my right honourable friend, for the work he has done on this issue together with the honourable member for swansea east. i think it is accepted across the house that the grieving parents have to worry about how to meet the federal courts when they have lost a

child. —— funeral cost. these will be paid for by the government. the releva nt be paid for by the government. the relevant departments have been working on the most effective way to implement this and it can confirm it will be permitted by the summer.m the last few months in my constituency, a 98—year—old man in a, an ageing couple were robbed, held hostage and beaten in their home, go to have been mugged at knife—point, and a spate of burglaries a cost southgate. my constituents do not feel safe. does the primary star realise the consequences of underfunding our police services? will she commit to committing funding to the police to 2020 levels we recognise that there

are concerns about serious violence. that is why my right on think about the home secretary has brought forward bills and task forces. in addition to funding for the police, the met police will receive up to £2.5 billion in 2020, an increase of up £2.5 billion in 2020, an increase of up to 172 million on the 2019. if he wa nts to up to 172 million on the 2019. if he wants to ask a question about funding for police in a living, perhaps you should speak to the labour mayor of london. with the governments view of higher education still under way, does the premise that agree that they reintroduction of maintenance grants would be one income that would clearly alleviate social mobility ability for disadvantaged students? first of all, i recognise that my right honourable friend has been a huge champion for social mobility, and continues to be so. she is asking me to provide a solution in relation to higher education funding and student

finance before the report has been received and published. all i can do is assure her that they work has been going on and we will look very seriously at the proposals put forward. in my constituency, there isa forward. in my constituency, there is a wonderful young lady, four—year—old harriet, whose life would improve dramatically if she had would improve dramatically if she ha d a ccess would improve dramatically if she had access to a cystic fibrosis drug. it is available in ireland and many european countries, it is due to become available in scotland. will the prime minister intervened personally in the negotiations between the nhs and a vertex to ensure that harriet‘s family are not forced to leave their home and move elsewhere, along with many other families in the country? can i say to the honourable gentleman, the

whole house will recognise the concerns of harry in her whole family in relation to this issue. we do want to ensure that patients have access to the most effective medicines, obviously, it relates to the nhs have proposed an offerfor this drug. in the 70 year of the history of the ngs, it would expand access to the dock for patients who need it. we have been following closely the discussions. the secretary of state for health and social care has offered a meeting with the drug company, nha soundly, england, to move this forward for the benefit of the patients. five yea rs the benefit of the patients. five years ago today, russian special forces seized the government buildings in crimea and raised the russian flag. will my right friend confirm that the uk government remains committed to the restoration

of ukrainian sovereignty over crimea. and we look at strengthen sanctions against russia until that can be achieved? i am very happy to get a confirmation. this was an illegal annexation of crimea by russia. we have been doing everything in relation to sanctions that we can to ensure the appropriate sanctions are imposed, and will have an impact. we have been one of the voices heard of the eu council table advocating it at every stage, ensuring that we look at the actions of russia, here and elsewhere, we enhance those sanctions and put pressure on those responsible. the scottish government have used their powers to increase carer‘s have used their powers to increase ca rer‘s allowance to have used their powers to increase carer‘s allowance to the level of jobseeker‘s allowance. because carer‘s jobseeker‘s allowance. because ca rer‘s allowance jobseeker‘s allowance. because carer‘s allowance is regarded as income under universal credit, there is undermined. can i ask the prime minister is carer‘s allowance is meant to help cover the extra cost

incurred by providing care, then why are carers on universal credit being penalised? the lady will know the way in which your initial credit operates, to encourage people to come into work. in relation to this matter will ask the relevant minister to write to her. thousands of young girls, including some from taunton deane, are purchasing so called quick fix diet and detox products, often endorsed by celebrities on social media. these celebrities on social media. these celebrities can be paid thousands of pounds for doing this. nhs chiefs say that some of these products can have highly detrimental health effects and our heating worked on our mental health services. so in a eating disorder week and following the excellent westminster debate by my right honourable friend from angers, will the premise that agree that this irresponsible and unsafe endorsement of these products should

be addressed? this is an important issue, i'm sure all members of this house have had constituency cases would have seen the impact eating disorders can have on individuals and also their families and friends. that impact can be devastating to stop the government has been taking steps of the last few years, we have invested £150 to expand eating disorder committee base care for children and young people. —— 100 £15 million. my honourable friend has raised an important issue, which is about how young people may be encouraged to take products because of their celebrity endorsement. these celebrities who are doing that should think very carefully about the impact that these products can have and having that effect of eating disorders, which devastates these lies. the prime minister, and

these lies. the prime minister, and the entire house, now is the conditions under which her withdrawal agreement will have a majority. the whole he house and the cou nty majority. the whole he house and the county now knows as a result of yesterday's events, the prospect of the prime minister being able to achieve the necessary changes have been undermined, hard negotiating position has been meeting. that is the reality of the situation. can we have an assurance, in terms of any possible extension, i'd be interested to know what the prime minister thinks the purpose of the extension would be. can we be assured that she will continue to focus on getting those legally binding changes? and, hopefully, during any future negotiations, she will not be undermined anyway that she has been so far. to the right honourable gentleman, first of all, we are containing to press for those legally binding changes, those are the discussions we have been having

with the european commission, it is what i have spoken to every eu leader about over the last ten days or so. it what i was speaking to people at sharm el sheikh over the weekend as well. it is about the excision to article 50, the government does not want to extend article 50. our policy is to get legally binding changes to a big deal can be brought back to this house and be supported, and we can leave on the 29th of march with a deal. unlike some ministers who cannot normally take the view of the prime minister being binding by her word. i do. prime minister being binding by her word. ido. can prime minister being binding by her word. i do. can i ask that the premise is the reiterate our ma nifesto premise is the reiterate our manifesto commitment to leave with a deal, or to leave with no—deal, and that his our commitments. to my honourable friend, i have always said no—deal is better than a bad deal. i think we have actually got a

good dealfrom the eu, it provides for citizen rights, certainty for business in the implementation period, it ensures that we have any political declaration on the arrangements for customs in the future for no terrace, new cultures, no rules of origin. it covers a number of other areas. it would be positive for this country. that is an issue that the house wants to see change, that is what we are working on, in relation to the northern ireland backstop. iwant on, in relation to the northern ireland backstop. i want to bring back a deal this house can support. violet was walking home from the city with her grandma on matches 24th, 2017. she was hit by a stolen car driving erratically at 80 feet miles per hour and a 30 mph zone. the driver and his accomplice immediately left the scene, the driver absconded the country. tragically, four—year—old violet died in her parents arms of the following day and her grandma

suffers with life changing injuries. the offenders have since been sentence with tariffs that do not fit the gravity of the crimes. the government published the response to the consultation on the right driving offences and penalties relating to causing death or serious injury, and confirmed proposals to increase the maximum penalty for causing death by dangerous driving from 14 years in prison to life, along with other tariffs for serious driving offences. and stated that government would bring forward proposals for reform of the law as soon as parliamentary time allows. today, after just one soon as parliamentary time allows. today, afterjust one week, the public petition stands at more than 74,000. the government is repeating the same response. order, order. this is a matter of the utmost sensitivity, i respect that, that is why allow the honourable lady to go

beyond the normal life she must use one sentence to wrap it up very well. prime minister, when does the government to the intent to bring the proposals for the reform of the law? to the honourable lady, first of all, i'm sure that the feelings of all, i'm sure that the feelings of the whole house will be with violet's family and to this treasured terrible tragedy that has occurred. i know from exigency case ihad, occurred. i know from exigency case i had, the concerns that family and has when you see some who has caused a death by their driving being sentenced to a tariff, which they feel is less that it should be. the government has taken this very seriously, that is why we have had the consultation. we will indeed bring forward the proposals when parliamentary time does allow. i will ask a minister to meet with the honourable lady to discuss this matter with her. i don't know

whether you're as surprised as i was yesterday, but yet again, the media had a verbatim report of the cabinet straight after. in fact, they refer to colleagues in front of me as kamikaze pilots. prime minister, to sort this issue out, would itjust be easier to televise cabinet meetings? laughter. ? i'm not sure. i want to hear the prime minister's answered. this is an important question, let's hear the answer. i wasn't sure whether you're doing a thumbs up after that question indicated whether you had a view on televising cabinet meetings, or not. to my honourable friend, he has tried various ways to approach this issue. i seem to remember the

last time he asked me this question, it wasn't about televising cabinet, it wasn't about televising cabinet, it wasn't about televising cabinet, it was about sending his cd in to be a cabinet minister,. perhaps these are link, perhaps you're to sit around the cabinet table and the on television all the time. we never knew the honourable gentleman had such ambitions. maybe it looks within him. from my own part, i was merely acknowledging welcome and friendly visitors to the house. prime ministers questions coming to a conclusion i had a further pixie discussions in the chamber getting under way very shortly. the speaker has to announce which amendments will be voted on first of all. as for the end—user, jeremy corbyn focusing, unsurprisingly, on brexit, talk about welfare, inequality,

growth figures. accusing the prime minister, not for the first time, of her shambolic handling all brexit and saying that there had been the slowest growth for a decade. but theresa may replied that she was delivering a truck and economy for the future. let's get the thoughts of norman smith who was listening to all of that. if other inconclusive pmqs. the best question came right at the end with the idea of televising cabinet! however, based on yesterday's cabinet, where i think there was a lot of contention with theresa may but a great idea. i love the idea of televising cabinet. it would be fantastic viewing, sadly, i suspect, it would be fantastic viewing, sadly, isuspect, it it would be fantastic viewing, sadly, i suspect, it will not happen. elsewhere, a minor tussle

over whether rejected austerity was to blame for the slowdown of the economy. there was a little bit of griping from some tory backbenchers about the decision yesterday to potentially delay brexit. we had one tory mp getting up and saying, stick to your previous commitments, is either your deal or no—deal. but, you didn't really sense that it was... perhaps the heat has gone out of the brexit furnace for a bit, just for the simple fact that the crunch vote has been put off for those three days in march. so, we are ina those three days in march. so, we are in a sort of holding pattern at the moment. in other developments, some news on the chris willison story —— chris williamson story. some news on the chris willison story -- chris williamson story. he has now issued his own apology. the

labour party has also reprimanded him, saying that his comments were deeply offensive and inappropriate. i suspect that is not the end of the matter. tom watson is insisting that he should be suspended, and he should be like a test case, because he isa should be like a test case, because he is a very prominent corbyn supporter. their argument is that if mr corbyn is serious about tackling anti—semitism, and he must be ready to ta ke anti—semitism, and he must be ready to take disciplinary action against mr williamson. one of the mp5 making that case elliott was phil watson. the comments he made were outrageous. i think it's a pattern of behaviour, and i think it has to be strong action that has been taken. be strong action that has been ta ken. obviously, be strong action that has been taken. obviously, he must apologise, i think you should be suspected. that is an issue for the chief whip and general secretary of the labour party. i agree with tom, who i spoke to her sing this morning, he was very angry and adamant. what you say

to those that say, this is a free speech, he is merely expressing his view that the party has been a bit too defensive on the issue of anti—semitism? too defensive on the issue of anti-semitism? i don't think the party is doing that. if you have people like luciana berger are leaving the party, bullied out of it, then we have a problem with anti—semitism and we must sort it out. i think we have to make an example of someone like this. this isn't a one off, it is a pattern of behaviour. i think they should be suspended from the labour party, and the whip taken of as well. that would be a big move, he is quite a big backbencher, a prominent mp. if you're not suspended, what you the risk are quack, is there any danger that would encourage other labour mps to leave the party? the party has a problem with anti—semitism. i never thought i'd be doing a tv

interview on this issue, i've been in the party for 40 years. there has to be drastic action taken and an example has to be made. you cannot have labour politicians coming out with remarks like that, when they should be setting an example to their local communities and the rest of the party. i think it's a step too far. why do you think labour has a problem with anti—semitism? because we allow people like chris williamson to feel that he can get away with what he's doing, so he's got to me made an example. why this matters even more is because we had those defections from the labour party last week when eight labour mps party last week when eight labour mstumped party last week when eight labour mps jumped overboard, and party last week when eight labour mstumped overboard, and large, pa rt mstumped overboard, and large, part because of their belief that anti—semitism had not been taken seriously enough. so, massive pressure on mr corbyn now. albeit, i suspect, has people will say it is not a matter for him, suspect, has people will say it is not a matterfor him, he is separate from the disciplinary process. even

so, people will be waiting and watching to see a firm action is taken against chris williamson. prison and have begun their second summit in hanoi. mr tom spoke warmly of his relationship with mr kim, who he described as a good leader. he said he looked forward... let's return to the news that pakistan says it has shot down two indian air forcejets in a major escalation of the kashmir conflict. a spokesman said one plane had fallen inside pakistani —administered territory and two pilots had been arrested. it comes a day after indian jets struck militants in pakistan. both india and pakistan claim all of kashmir — but control only parts of it. these pictures from the pakistani information ministry shows what they say is footage of one of the downed indian jets.

in another video, which has since been deleted, the information ministry showed one of the captured pilots. the indian foreign ministry gave this update. against this counterterrorism action, pakistan has responded this morning by using its airforce to target installations on the indian side. due to our high state of readiness and alertness, pakistan's attempts were foiled successfully. the pakistani air force was detected, and the indian air force responded instantly. in that aerial engagement, one pakistani air force fighter aircraft was shot down by a mig—21 bison of the indian air force. the pakistani aircraft was seen by ground forces, falling from the sky, on the pakistani side.

in this engagement, we have unfortunately lost one mig—21, the pilot is missing in action. pakistan has claimed that he is in their custody. our correspondent in islamabad, secunder kermani, told us more about the pakistani government's response to the airstrike. the pakistani military spokesman told us that in response to what india did yesterday in pakistan, by coming into pakistani airspace and carrying out attacks, which it said targeted militant group places in northern pakistan, the pakistani authorities dispute any target was hit, or exists. in response to that, this morning, pakistani military officials say that pakistani jets targeted indian

targets across the border. they say, as a result of these pakistani strikes on indian targets, indian jets then crossed over into pakistani airspace, and then pakistani jets shout down two indian planes as a result of which, two indian pilots were captured. that's the chronology, according to the pakistani military, and this really does seem to be a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two countries. i asked the pakistani military spokesman if this was pushing the two countries to the brink of war, he said that pakistan was acting responsibly, he said that pakistan had deliberately chosen to target open areas, in india, where there weren't military officials, where there weren't civilians living, because he said these pakistani strikes in the morning were intended as a show of force to india,

rather than as an act of escalation, or an act provoking war. it is now, i think, everyone in pakistan is waiting to see how india responds, particularly because these two indian pilots are now in pakistani custody. in a moment, it's time for the one o'clock news. but first — it's time for a look at the weather. just to show you how fickle we wear that is, this time last year that is snow on the beach. a very different complexion to the weather today. we still have the sunshine across many parts of the uk. that is more cloud around, just a sign of what is on the way, the award out the moment, we have had those southerly winds.

for the next few days, the athletic wins take over. they erode the warmth and also pick up more moisture from the atlantic ocean, so they will bring us some rain. not today though. for today, the sunshine has continued as we will see much, this evening. we do have more cloud across the south—west of scotland, that continues to creep in through the night. these were fronts are relatively weak, they're coming into areas of high pressure. but they will arrest the temperatures, meaning it won't be as close for most. there will still be pockets of frost around, clear spells in central and eastern parts of england. they will be held in by cloud tomorrow, that shall he rain coming in, more cloud in the north. more notably, the in temperature, only eight — 10 degrees, 6 degrees down on what have been seen this week. during the evening, the

remotely, and a ridge of high pressure we re remotely, and a ridge of high pressure were coming on friday. hopefully, dry weather for many again. for northern ireland, more rain and more wind is picked up with the next weather front. even though sunshine will return, there is still will be cloud in the skies. temperatures would be near to what they have been this week. one low pressure after another moving freight. those tightly packed isobars will bring us some rain as well, over the scottish mountains, it might be good enough for some snow. considerable falls of rain, potentially mild, temperatures will still be above the average of early match. but that unsettled and slightly cooler weather continues into the beginning of next week as well.
