11:00 pm
let's talk to our political correspondent iain watson. when we go from here? 70 questions, so when we go from here? 70 questions, so few answers. where we are going this is bbc news. tomorrow is this decision to rule out no deal but even that is far more complicated than you might think. through a croaking voice tonight, the prime minister said mps would have a vote on that and you would have a vote on that and you would assume that would rule out an ideal entirely if the recent voting 242, the noes, 391. the prime minister suffers behaviour is taken into account the a second heavy defeat way in which the motion is worded on her brexit deal, this time by a majority of 149, says that in fact, no deal is still leading to further a default option unless is replaced confusion on the way ahead. by an actual deal which tends to i profoundly regret the decision suggest the prime minister want to come back and have a go at getting this house has taken tonight. i her view through the house of continue to believe that by far the commons so it's likely to be an best outcome is the united kingdom attempt to try and change that leaves the european union in an tomorrow, to make it much clearer. orderly fashion with a deal. the amendments come across party government has been defeated again by an enormous majority and they amendments. the prime minister must now accept their deal, their should be ruling out no deal under proposal, the one the prime minister all circumstances. if that happens,
11:01 pm
has put is clearly dead and does not we then have a vote on the departure have the support of this house. with no sign of a resolution, from the eu. that will be discussed mps will now get a vote on a no—deal brexit, and on extending the brexit process. this as to whether they will grant a sharp rebuke from business leaders an extension but again, it's a bit who say they are unhappy as the more complicated that it looks brexit uncertainty goes on. because some people are pressing her the european union and india suspend all flight operations syd ney to because some people are pressing her of the boeing 737 max — sydney to revoke article 50 which we can do legally as well and not the model that's crashed twice in the past six months. depend on the eu agreement over an extension but don't think will succeed but there is likely to be a third climber has died debate on that and then there is following an avalanche this morning on ben nevis, the highest also a question. to vote as they mountain in the uk. and at 11:30, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers sebastian payne please. she has guaranteed that on from the financial times and lance price, former director of communications no vote tomorrow because if she for the labour party — stay with us for that. didn't, she would be facing cabinet resignations. speaking of that, what is her political future now? speaking of that, what is her politicalfuture now? this was speaking of that, what is her political future now? this was a terrible day for her, notjust because she lost her voice. although
11:02 pm
that seemed to make it even worse.|j think even though her voice was croaky, to some extent her message was clear. that is that she is continuing to see this process through. she talked to cabinet collea g u es through. she talked to cabinet colleagues before the defeat, she with just 17 days to go until the date the uk anticipated that she would be is supposed to leave the eu, defeated, things were not going well the prime minister has once again through the course of the day, the suffered a heavy parliamentary legal advice was not bolstering her. defeat on her brexit deal, throwing the government's strategy she spoke to cabinet colleagues into further confusion. then. she had to concede three votes after another afternoon of debate, mps voted against the deal by 391 to stop them resigning. i am told to 242 — a majority of 149. she herself did not discuss they will now be asked to vote resigning at that stage. there are influential figures resigning at that stage. there are influentialfigures in resigning at that stage. there are influential figures in their own party who are saying an election may tomorrow on whether the uk should be inevitable to break the deadlock. she told her own mps at a private exit without a deal meeting that an election was not on on march the 29th. our political editor the cards. i think she is determined to ta ke the cards. i think she is determined to take things one step at a time laura kuenssberg reports. stop trying to get through the votes this week she is saying she is going to do what she is instructed by division, clear the lobby! parliament, if they want to live with no deal, she will do that. if this is what a political disaster they want to reject the deal she looks and sounds like. mps are piling through will ask for an extension to article westminster‘s corridors walking 50. if she gets through that i through a lobby to say no. suspect there will be one last heave
11:03 pm
to try to get the deal over the line for a second time the prime minister as the date that we are due to leave has lost her deal, another chunk of authority, and maybe her way. the european union fast approaches and effectively her argument will be the ayes to the right, 342. similarto and effectively her argument will be similar to now, which is that they are risking brexit at all if they do not get behind a deal. the question is how much more can she offer? an -- 242. entirely new approach or an entirely the noes to the left, 391. the prime minister onlyjust hanging new leader? we have been told onto her voice and hanging on in office tonight. tonight by downing street she has no immediate plans to go to brussels and has no immediate plans for i profoundly regret the decision as indicative votes, where she would house has taken tonight. i continue ta ke indicative votes, where she would take the views of parliament on to believe that by far the best board, not just about take the views of parliament on board, notjust about rejecting no deal, but about what kind of outcome is that the united kingdom leaves the european union in an alternative deal they might sign up orderly fashion with a deal and that to. again tonight labour i thank you the deal we've negotiated is the have heard from keir starmer, i best and, indeed, the only deal think it is a more solid situation, available. exasperated, the prime minister will allow mps to vote with jeremy corbyn saying tomorrow as they wish think it is a more solid situation, withjeremy corbyn saying labour will have another attempt to get its deal through parliament. a customs to rule out leaving the eu without union with the eu. that was rejected an arrangement. if they do, on previously. with the prospect of no thursday, they could vote to delay
11:04 pm
deal, deadlock, labour believe they departure but tonight, it's the primus —— the prime minister ruskin, make this time attract some conservative supporters to their then what? this house will have banner. thank you very much, iain to answer that question, does it wish to revoke article 50? watson, our political correspondent does it want to hold at westminster. a second referendum? so if parliament votes tomorrow jeering to take no deal off the table — is an extension of article 50 or is there anything brexiteer mps or, does it want to leave can do to ensure the uk leaves the eu on march 29? with a deal, but not this deal? let's talk to maddy teemont—jack these are unenviable choices but thanks to the decision the house from the institute for government. has made this evening, they are choices that must now be faced. what is going to happen in the commons in the next day or so? first labour voted against and now, if it was down to them, to say is i think we're hoping we they'd fight for a general election. get more clarity on what mps might the prime minister has run down the clock and the clock wa nt get more clarity on what mps might want in the next two days. there is has run out on her. this vote on whether to leave the without a deal. the prime minister's maybe it's time instead we had motions as she rejects leaving the a general election and people can eu without a deal on the 29th of choose who their government should be. forget the next few weeks — march, she is reiterating that no what happens in the circus tomorrow deal is the legal default and that when mps can vote to say they won't let us actually, she says in her motion, leave without a deal? that the only way to avoid no deal is to vote for a deal. there is if you take the possibility of walking away off the table, you actually end up another way to do that. you can
11:05 pm
revoke article 50. we might see an amendment to that effect coming from in a counter—productive situation. the group of mps who support a where you get offered terms you can't accept. further referendum. they may table just from appeal negotiating an amendment to that effect later view, it wouldn't be a sensible thing to do. tonight. just to be clear, living at if parliament does dismantle the end of this month is in the strategy, it makes her position very difficult and it is a conversation the cabinet will want parliamentary legislation. yeah. at to have with the prime the moment this is set out under eu minister about how long she wants to go on for. law and uk law. the eu withdrawal i supported the government this evening, not because i thought act contains the date of exit as the amended agreement was perfect — being march 29. but also when we it was far from it — but it was a step in the right direction. triggered article 50 on march 29, the prime minister still does not want to junk her deal 2017, that set a two year ticking but the biggest problem clock which is running out. when we was the cabinets top lawyer talk about taking no deal of the didn't believe the new legal table it isn't that simple? no, not promises from the eu on the deal made an enormous difference. will the deal get over the line? at all. mps can request an extension to article 50 which will avoid no we'll wait and see, laura. deal on the 29th of march. but it doesn't rule it out completely. even the tweaks to the most if you extend article 50 until say controversial part, the backstop. his raised eyebrow about whether it the 23rd of may, ahead of the european parliament elections, there will get over the line. is still a risk at the point of mps
11:06 pm
because his verdict emerged just as ministers were leaving. but the attorney general said having approved a deal that we could the new arrangements would reduce leave the eu without a deal. so the the risk of getting stuck in the backstop. amendments you have seen that have he concluded that the risk remains been tabled tonight for tomorrow, unchanged, that ultimately there could be circumstances just took us through those. been tabled tonight for tomorrow, where there would be no just took us through thoselj been tabled tonight for tomorrow, just took us through those. i have sent to amendment so far. there is a internationally lawful means cross— party for the uk to leave the backstop sent to amendment so far. there is a cross—party amendment which replaces on its own. the text to just rule out no deal in my view... generally. they don't like the fact jeering that theresa may is reiterating this legal default and that is coming from mps who have previously and he opposition even laughing at some points as how he tried supported an amendment, a similar amendment this year injanuary. to present the deal as new. the question for the house is whether, in the light of these improvements, 0liver letwin, mary creagh has as a politicaljudgement, offered her support, and the other the house should now enter into those arrangements. key amendment so far that has been perhaps it would never have been enough for tory eurosceptics, tabled is from a group of who all along have had the power conservative backbenchers, which to block theresa may. includes the likes of jacob rees—mogg, steven baker, also nicky could this deal ever work for them? morgan and damian green on the 52% voted to leave but in softer brexit side of the party. their plan there is to essentially the house of commons, put it in the form of an amendment. probably 500 out of 650
11:07 pm
mps supported remain. this is how the government should this disconnect is troubling mitigate against an ideal exit. it for our politics because the house of commons is ignoring the majority is seeking a transition period of of the british people. she's not been able sorts with the eu until december to hold back the forces 2021. and so whether that will have who resist her deal, enough support across the house, but ministers tonight say probably unlikely. it is interesting to see that coalition of mps, which we saw, sort of group around the despite the defeat, the political toll, you guessed it, malthouse compromise earlier this theresa may will try again. year. people talk about parliament taking control, because, may be, so immediately after that vote, according to the front pages of we heard from the president of the european council, tomorrow's papers, the prime donald tusk, who said he regretted the outcome of the tonight's vote minister is out of control or the brexit process is out of the and is disappointed that the uk governmemnt has been unable government's control, so how, to ensure a majority for the withdawal agreement. he said: really, would parliament take control of the brexit process?” mean, that is the challenge. the first challenges that they are up against the that article 50 clock, it hasn't changed yet, march 29 is still a key deadline. it also government controls time in the house. earlier this year we have seen some amendments well, our correspondent katya adler house. earlier this year we have seen some amendments which were about trying to take control of gave us this update on what the uk
11:08 pm
can expect from the eu parliamentary time to either introduce legislation or to hold these indicative votes to try and in the coming days. test where alternative majorities might lie. and that would be one way to ta ke eu leaders are sounding very might lie. and that would be one way to take control. but it doesn't resolute tonight. mr barnier, the really get to the point where parliament directs to the government. that is the challenge at chief brexit negotiator summed up the moment. good to talk to you. the mood when he said we in the eu have done everything we can comment thank you very much for being with there is a solution to this impasse, us. let's turn to the day's other news. it has to come from the uk. there is india and member states of the eu no sense in the eu that leaders up have become the latest to ban blaming themselves for the fact that the boeing 737 max — from flying over their airspace — the brexit deal was again rejected joining a long list of countries. it comes after an ethiopian airlines in parliament. in fact, leaders plane crashed on sunday — point the finger of blame at uk claiming the lives of 157 people — the second fatal accident involving the 737 max 8 in less politics and the fact that than five months. parliament wasn't asked at the american officials insist the aircraft are still safe to fly. beginning of the brexit process what 0ur transport correspondent kind of brexit they could unite around. the question is, what comes next? again, the eu leaders look at tom burridge has the story. the ongoing confusion in parliament and ask what could be achieved in just a few weeks. if the prime this plane was just allowed back into manchester this afternoon. minister now asks for a short but this ultramodern, boeing 737 max eight arriving from marrakesh, has extension of the brexit process, now been grounded.
11:09 pm
uk aviation regulators say none under eu law, of course, all 27 eu of this model can arrive or leave uk airports until they are leaders have too agreed unanimously convinced it is safe. mid—flight, there was to that extension, they will probably say yes, they want to avoid an unusual announcement. an ideal brexit and theresa may comes face—to—face with all those leaders at a summit in brussels next week. will she pushed them for more we were told while we were in the air that they'd actually grounded it. and how will they reply? we can't be 100% sure at this moment. the eu i was apprehensive. certainly feels that on technical really? you are bound to be, aren't you? civil servant level, negotiations i was aware that it was involved in two fatal crashes, have reached a dead—end sunny change but that didn't sway my mind. now from the eu perspective would but this flight made it most have to be a political one. they can of the way to birmingham before only be taken by the leaders of the being turned back, just like another flight into gatwick. 27 eu countries and they up until sunday's crash was the second involving a bowing 737 max 8 now have been very clear. yes, they injust five months. wa nt to now have been very clear. yes, they want to brexit deal but no, not at today, 0liver vic, a un worker, any price. the actions of the labor described by his family as an inspirational man with a zest for life, now confirmed as one of at least nine british people on board. the uk's civil aviation regulator has now suspended all flights in and out of uk airports on the 737 max. boeing's latest short—haul
11:10 pm
model has a modified, automatic flight control system. party could be very important. you it is supposed to dip the plane's nose if it is at risk of stalling. are basically telling us, like everybody in government, you can't but in the case of the crash see a clear way to finding a in october off indonesia, majority for anything. we've not incorrect data, collected by a sensor on the aircraft, really be able to test it but could caused it to nosedive not got past the prime minister saying my deal, no deal. you are her shortly after take—off. majesty ‘s opposition. you can do america's aviation regulator says it. no—one has an answer but as of the plane is being modified to make the anti—stall system safer. where we are, 830 tuesday night on the training and manuals for pilots will also be improved. the 12th, the prime minister has had but this british pilot who has a second disastrous defeat, you trained on the 737 max says don't have a clear route to hear, he would be confident this is the majority. let me try and flying one today. answer. i felt there we've changed his voice because he is not authorised this is the majority. let me try and answer. ifelt there is probably a by his airline to talk to us. majority around customs union, single market alignment. back in the i am somewhat apprehensive about the similarities between the lion air crash and the current ethiopian crash. i'd have my reservations and doubt in getting into and operating early summer of last year. we lost by three votes on that night whenjo the 737 max today. swinson was unfairly deprived of not
11:11 pm
voting. so got really, really close. boeing said it has full confidence in the safety of this plane, but now after european regulators followed the british decision, i think that is something i felt for the aircraft has been grounded the world over. a long time may get a majority. the and aviation chiefs in america, the home of boeing, are under only qualification i've got is that pressure to follow suit. it's clear that the many people in tom burridge, bbc news. the labour movement, they've moved three people have died and four past that without the standard we think there ought to be a public others were taken to hospital after a bus and two cars collided vote and we would support that so on the a90 between aberdeen and dundee at glenbervie. from our point of view, those it happened at about propositions have to be tested to 4:30 this afternoon. see whether there is a majority for the injuries are not said to be life—threatening. them and that's why it was important three climbers have died them and that's why it was important the labor party moved on the public following an avalanche on ben nevis — the highest mountain vote to say if that proposition is in the united kingdom. one other has been injured. put down, we would support it police scotland were alerted to the incidentjust before midday. because it obviously makes a 0ur scotland correspondent material difference as to whether a james shaw reports. majority would be found. clearly everybody is against it.|j in driving rain and low visibility, a coastguard helicopter helped majority would be found. clearly everybody is against it. i was interested to say, what advice would with efforts to find the climbers swept away by an avalanche you give to their eu now, keir, what on britain's highest mountain. we do next? this is what they've they were in an area on the north been the prime minister seeing face of the mountain called number parliament so split, has been five gully, which is
11:12 pm
looking to the eu to come up with a known for avalanches. magical solution to please as many the bad weather meant the effort to rescue them of those factions as possible in was particularly challenging. parliament and is come with a compromised deal that ended up not it's been very difficult conditions pleasing very many people at all. he that the mountain rescue teams have faced today and the coastguard now says, you guys have got to sort helicopter faced difficulties in that regard as well, so it has taken longer to get them it out. what is the eu do? the eu, off the hill than perhaps other days when the weather's more clement. ever understood properly, and i've spoken to a lot of people in an air ambulance helped get brussels over the last few weeks and the casualties off ben nevis, but only one of the four people months, the strong view i got from in the party has survived. those discussions is what the eu wa nts those discussions is what the eu wants is to know what the majority that person was airlifted use and that that is sustainable. it to hospital in glasgow. was a question they repeatedly put to the government, it's all well to these are not the first people say you might get it over the line that can you sustain the majority? to die on ben nevis this winter. two young climbers died in separate from the eu point of view, what they should be saying is, you need to accidents in december and january. find a majority and you need a sustainable majority. this mountain attracts thousands of climbers and hill walkers every year, but there are dangers find a majority and you need a sustainable majoritylj which can catch out even find a majority and you need a sustainable majority. i know they have, they've been saying it to a the most experienced. prime minister has not been prepared to find where the majority is. can and we'll be taking an in—depth look
11:13 pm
one last question you won't get at the papers with our reviewers sebastian payne from the financial times, and political commentator something different to that p 45. we lance price — that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. commit to putting a customs union now it's time for the weather with stav. amendment down now? we'll have that discussion when we get to it. all in all it is looking very wild amendment down now? we'll have that discussion when we get to itm amendment down now? we'll have that discussion when we get to it. it is not no. not a know for now? it is this week. an active jet stream not no. not a know for now? it is sending deep areas of low pressure not yes for now. we have to take each step is to get to it. what is to our shores, bringing spells of severe gales at times and also some heavy rain. the rest of the week is the process for deciding on what remaining unsettled, heavy rain and amendments we want to put down and gals at times. disruption is likely in what order? genuinely, we to continue. keep tuned to bbc local discussed that as a team. the shadow radio. storm gareth is the big story through tuesday into wednesday. brexit secretary sir keir starmer showing up clearly here. pushing slowly into the north but continuing there being interrogated by bbc to maintain strong west north—westerly winds across the country for wednesday. gusts could reach in excess of 55—65 mph in radio brexitcast. that is also available on line. central portions of the uk. we could be looking at some minor damage and some disruption. generally speaking, although many places are blustery we should have quite a bit of sunshine
11:14 pm
there's been reaction across the capital from businesses around into the afternoon, the show to eu nationals. anymore than the west, wintry on the higher ground. temperatures 9— 12 degrees. with the wind it will feel cooler than that. as we head on into thursday we have the next area of low pressure pushing in of the atla ntic to low pressure pushing in of the atlantic to bring another spell of rain and gales. that will spread across the country through the course of wednesday night. by thursday morning the heaviest of the range should have cleared away from the south—east. then it is another blustery day with sunshine and showers. the best of the sunshine across southern and eastern areas. the sunshine in the north and the west, some heavy, thundering with snow of the higher ground. the winds will be very strong once again. temperatures 10— 13 degrees, perhaps across the south—east, giving good spells of sunshine. into friday, another area of low pressure ms chen off the atlantic, anchored to the north of the country does make moves in off the atlantic. the strongest winds and the heavy rain. there will
11:15 pm
be ——it will be windy. sunshine and showers following on behind for scotla nd showers following on behind for scotland and northern ireland into the afternoon. these will be of a wintry flavour of the high ground. a bit milder through the south. we could see 14 or 10 degrees. as we head into the weekend the detail looks a little more blood. —— 15 degrees. —— blurred. a bit of uncertainty to the northern extent of this area of low pressure. it looks like more central areas where we will see a band of heavy and persistent rain. strong winds to the south. a risk of gales. much of the north of the uk for scotland, bright, quite chilly, some wintry showers around. to the south of this weather front 12— 13 degrees. as that area of low pressure starts to pull out into the north sea it will feed in showers and a strong breeze to the northern half of the uk. there are signs of a ridge of high pressure trying to build in from the south—west. it means many southern
11:16 pm
areas should stay dry with plenty of sunshine. temperatures around the seasonal average, or a little below in the north. looking at the jet strea m in the north. looking at the jet stream beyond the weekend, we maintaina stream beyond the weekend, we maintain a pretty strong jet from west to east across the atlantic. there are signs that the judge could move further northwards, which means the low pressure could affect
