11:30 pm
hello, this is bbc news with rebecca jones. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow on that from the far mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines. the speaker of the house of commons says the prime minister to keep an eye on that from the far north west of scotland. we might see cannot ask mps to vote on her brexit deal again, unless there are a significant area of low pressure substantial changes to it. developing by the end of the week. increasingly went to the far noth. what the government cannot elsewhere, whether cloud will break legitimately do is to resubmit up, more in the way of sunshine. a to the house the same proposition very amount of cloud generally across england, wales, northern ireland. highest values of io— 16 or substantially the same degrees. ireland. highest values of 10— 16 degrees. out of thursday into friday, the area of low pressure could be an issue. we will need to proposition as that of last week, keep an issue on that. if you have outdoor plans on friday keep abreast which was rejected by 149 votes. of the situation. england and wales in the best of the dry and sunny police in the netherlands say weather. more of a breeze around by they've arrested a man, after three people were shot dead ona tram in the dutch city of utrecht. new zealand's prime minister says she'll announce new gun laws within days, following the attacks on two mosques friday. as we start into the in which 50 people died. weekend, things could turn cool. we could see the showers turning increasingly wintry to higher ground in scotland. plenty of frequent showers up into the north—west. not mozambique‘s president says he fears quite as well. but hopefully with up to 1,000 people more of a breeze, hopefully for the may have been killed start of the weekend. elsewhere a greater chance of seeing sunshine
11:31 pm
come through. further ahead, that by a devastating cyclone. area of high pressure that has quite things down loses its grip a little and sinks further south into the near continent. that may allow weather fronts to continue to move in from the north—west. potentially, it looks as though for much of england and wales it says predominantly dry and settled. but we could see more weather, windy weather continuing to be an issue into the far noth and west. of hello and welcome to our look course we will firm up on those 00:01:17,704 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 details as and when we get there. ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are businessman, lord digbyjones, and dawn foster, the guardian columnist. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, john bercow‘s rejection of a further vote without significant changes to the brexit motion features on many. the ft reports that many sceptics believe that bercow, who voted remain, is trying to sabotage the brexit process. a gleeful looking speaker is pictured on the front of the telegraph, with the paper similarly focusing in on the accusations against him of anti—brexit bias, he's also been accused of failing to respect mps. the metro writes that bercow has been accused of causing
11:32 pm
"a constitutional crisis" through citing a 400—year—old rule in order to block a third vote. "the brexit destroyer" — the express is more brazen in its language about the speaker, it writes that ministers are furious at him. many mps are fed—up and calling on may to go, the i reports up to 30 conservative mps have told the pm she needs to step down. an impassioned bercow is pictured on the front of the guardian, his intervention today means may will have to go to thursday's brussels summit with a request for a long extension to article 50, it says. "brexit be damned" is the mail's headline, dominated by a picture of the speaker. the paper claims britain could now face up to 20 months in limbo. the sun pulls no punches in its language about the speaker, and similarly to the mail, characterises him as smug.
11:33 pm
i think it is said to sayjohn bercow has not got many friends in the papers. the mail purports to show him smoking, what do you make of all this? he was well within his rights to do what he did. to be fair to him fora rights to do what he did. to be fair to him for a moment, you remarked earlier and you are right, a good cameraman can get most facial expressions from most subjects most of the time so to be time, i think he is smoking inside of himself but the photograph is not what this is about. interestingly, if you contrast the guardian and the mail. the mail is saying this is dreadful, the many reasons. the guardian is
11:34 pm
talking more about the prime minister stopped in her tracks. the one thing the mail extension —— focuses on, it says in the article, he did not give the prime minister nor the government any notice he was going to do this. they first they knew is when he he sat there in public... in fairness there had been gossip... at the end of the day i do think, the prime minister of the nation, whatever party and belief, is entitled, as someone who is meant to be the umpire, dealing with the playing field, does not need to be ambushed. he is not known for keeping his light under the bush, he
11:35 pm
has been inconsistent because a few weeks ago he allowed an an amendment but said that the constitution was a fluid animal and allowed change yet this time, back 400 years, let get precedent and forget change. on the side of someone who thinks can't we get this finished, and the established people will be glad because they are sticking this in the high grass, getting some sort of delay and they will say well done mr bercow and well done prime minister. let's give dawn a chance. is it your view thatjohn bercow is using his
11:36 pm
power aggressively? even though the rule is 400 years old it has been followed in parliament. i cannot rememberany time in followed in parliament. i cannot remember any time in the lusty decades were the prime minister has brought the same legislation back over and over brought the same legislation back overand overagain. brought the same legislation back over and over again. offering money, threatening people with a prospective no deal. i think bercow had listened to a lot of mps coming to him with concerns. there was an amendment last week that did almost this. he said you have to have proper procedure. if mps are happy, it needs to change and then we have to get it through the house at that way. what about the point that he
11:37 pm
ambushed the prime minister and good manners at least should have said that she should have told her. we have 11 days left so a lot of it is speed... equally, if he told the prime minister, should he have told jeremy corbyn? he said he would be giving an announcement. time is of the essence. we could pressure with fio the essence. we could pressure with no deal and we are not short on time. so it was down to time. no, it wasn't. the solicitor general has warned of a constitutional crisis. difficult to have a constitutional crisis when you do not have a written constitution. it is a political crisis and a serious one. i know this will come as an enormous
11:38 pm
shock to journalists in the westminster bubble, to the member of the lords, to understand that these are read by people outside london at what worries me hugely is the political class have left the country down and the country is sitting there saying, will you get this done? and this isjust sitting there saying, will you get this done? and this is just seen as another chapter in the political shenanigans letting the country down. where it ends up, the one thing i know for certain, the division brought about by the referendum, a division of families, businesses, sectorial e—commerce geographically, the nation is divided. all that has happened and to date has accentuated it looked enormously —— enormously. you are letting us down. you're basically
11:39 pm
not doing anything. at the end of the day, we are in this status and all of the speaker has done has increased the situation. put for once the nation ahead of personal ambition and personal views. whether it isjeremy corbyn wanting an election, whether it is boris wanting to be a prime minister, put the country first and this sort of thing would not happen. setting aside party allegiance, what is your view about what might happen over the next 11 days? at the moment we are due to leave a week on friday. theresa may will have to go to brussels and asked for article 50 to be extended. europe seemed quite happy for this to happen. they
11:40 pm
thought they would collapse within six weeks without an —— a deal. i think at this point, we will be looking at article 50 being extended and theresa may will then have to figure out and try to tell the house how long she thinks that will be and she will have to be a different deal that people will actually vote on and get through and she will have to do that by listening to everybody in the house of commons instead of threatening people. if we move on to the times at which goes with a similar story, bercow sabotaging brexit deal, says number 10. in some ways, he has united those who want a long extension and those who do not
11:41 pm
wa nt to long extension and those who do not want to live with no deal. he has accentuated the extremes, they are the ones not rejoicing but more pleased with it tonight. 0ne the ones not rejoicing but more pleased with it tonight. one of the big problems with this is that we, all of us, look at this is what gets through the house of commons. i do not think we forget but we are looking at it from one end of the telescope. if someone is saint theresa may has to come up with a different sort of deal, that deal has to be acceptable to europe and europe have said, whether they mean it or lot, this is the deal. germany in almost a recession, france with this location, italy in recession, i can see why this will go to the wire anyway. it is how europe does business, they do business at midnight on the last night. i am not
11:42 pm
critical of that but if she comes back with a softer brexit, how do we know europe will accept this? it will take a big comedown for them to suddenly say it is ok. we're being, asa suddenly say it is ok. we're being, as a nation, as a country, as whatever we say europe will do but it is not true. we must not forget that it was not by any means certain that it was not by any means certain that if theresa may had brought her deal back this week it would have passed anyway. no, exactly. one of the things theresa may had to do was convince 75 mp5 theresa may had to do was convince 75 mps in a week without anything changing. that was almost certainly not going to happen. there was talk ofa not going to happen. there was talk of a meaningful vote for possibly five, carrying on forever. this is whyjohn bercow said enough. you
11:43 pm
cannot keep trying again and again, just trying to change people's minds about the same thing. this is why it makes a lot more sense. otherwise she does other things outside the chamber, offering the dup more money, trying to threaten people, bully people, and say that if they don't vote for her deal they will get a jeremy corbyn government. john be rcow get a jeremy corbyn government. john bercow said you have to do something different. this can't be the way parliament runs. but she won't be the first prime minister who has bribed and bullied her way through a parliamentary vote, will she? every single prime minister of every party ever does this. it is called politics. they do it in every democracy. so i'm not going to wear that one. what i do think is a concern is the optics of this. she didn't need to get 75 of the line. she needed to get about ten. because
11:44 pm
once the dup had come into line, whether bribed or not, that is a good point, but if they came into line there were a lot of the current anti—tory is saying if i see that i will go with it. so it wasn't about them picking of one or two. you would have had... wejust don't know the numbers. they were changing their minds and... shall wejust the numbers. they were changing their minds and... shall we just sat brea ks their minds and... shall we just sat breaks it to one side. what a relief. -- brexit. this seems like a rather good news. which people may be pleased to read. breast cancer deaths falling faster than the rest of europe. i assume that is here. why is that? britain previously had quite a bad death rate. much worse than the rest of europe. and it is a numberof things, than the rest of europe. and it is a number of things, screening, better treatment, but also the fact that we are prescribing hormone replacement therapy a lot less. so we used to prescribe that a lot to people going through the menopause. by stopping that it has lowered the incidence of breast cancer. and we have improved
11:45 pm
treatment. we have cut waiting times. that is all very good. we have fallen into line in a slightly better than europe. we need to keep that up. it involves proper investment and making sure we don't lag in diagnosis and very quick treatment. i am a patron of and support quite a loss, a breast cancer charity, this is excellent news for us. this makes support quite a lot. there was like a metal floor and it was there and it was not good. what has happened is that a loss more not good. what has happened is that a [055 more money, a not good. what has happened is that a loss more money, a lot more application of science, a lot more of prevention, a loss more education in what women should do about it, big thing on hrt, and where they got to was a race, we are still behind, actually, but the rate is better. the rate of detection and people not
11:46 pm
dying from this is better than europe now, but we have got quite a catch up from the floor. and in that respect, as you rightly say, we have just got to keep the pressure on, don't let up. but, actually, on a day of newspapers that are full of doom and gloom, that is good news. yes. we should probably say about hrt, there might be women watching this who was suddenly terribly worried if they are on hormone replacement therapy thinking they will get breast cancer, it is about three extra cases in every thousand. let us quote the paragraph on the times today "a decline in the use of hormone replacement therapy, which studies more than ten years ago that increase the risk of breast cancer, could be behind the improvements, scientists said". a previous overprescribing in the rate is very small. that is good news. i agree. it raises the question, is europe not doing something that we are doing? i think they were doing lots
11:47 pm
long before we were. and we are catching them up. i repeat, the rate is good but we are still lagging behind. nice to see you in agreement about that as well. just because you disagree on one thing, doesn't mean you can't agree on another. disagree on one thing, doesn't mean you can't agree on anotherlj disagree on one thing, doesn't mean you can't agree on another. i can't agree more. let us move to the telegraph now. buried a bit. self—harming crack down on social media sites. where is this coming from and what is it, exactly? you will remember the tragic, tragic case of molly russell, who was exposed, up in her bedroom, night after night after night, to social media shots and sites which were encouraging her to self—harm and leading her towards suicide in one day her dad came in and there she was, she had killed herself. and, by the way, i am sure, i don't know
11:48 pm
that expert, but i'm sure she is not the only one. this has led to a big outrage in terms of at what point should social media take responsibility? you can extrapolate that responsibility for the streaming in new zealand. you can push that responsibility for all of the constant use of data to promulgate advertisements. and what they have done is constantly said we are not a publisher, we do not accept responsibility that the editor of this programme would, the editor of this programme would, the editor of this programme would, the editor of these newspapers would, where if you put this stuff in these that you are allowed on social media, these boys would go to prison. yet social media says it is nothing to do with me, i am a platform. and governments, by public persuasion, by public outcry, are beginning to say you have got to do something about this. and the do something about this. and the do something has to be a form of regulation. and it has to start with
11:49 pm
the word responsibility, take it. do that, upside, if you threaten to put mr zuckerberg into prison over this it would stop overnight, it really would. but at the moment, governments are stopping lots of regulation onto a form of news and information outlets very quickly get accused of censorship and stopping things which they don't like. so it isa things which they don't like. so it is a tight rope to walk, where you protect people by imbuing responsibility on so—called platforms, but you don't censor people like your good selves who, rightly, write stuff which other people may not like, but is perfectly bona fides. this is a government white paper making suggestions as to how regulation should work? it is a government white paper and it was to look at the algorithms within social media. for instance, if i go on a website and look at a dress it will follow me around with adverts everywhere.
11:50 pm
ifigo to me around with adverts everywhere. if i go to instagram and look at cats, that will follow me. equally, ifi cats, that will follow me. equally, iflama cats, that will follow me. equally, if i am a teenager looking at self— harm if i am a teenager looking at self—harm sites, if i am a teenager looking at self— harm sites, they if i am a teenager looking at self—harm sites, they begin to be recommended back to me as well. the government was to look at those algorithms on facebook and instagram and see what they do to stop the humble that swing recommended back to people. we know the samaritans have guidelines that the media follow about suicide that say don't talk about method, don't use that language were describing it, but facebook, instagram, other social media sites don't follow them and could be contributing to suicide rates. we have got to leave it there. on that rather downbeat note. it has been a bit of a day like that. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer.
11:51 pm
thanks to dawn and digby. from us all, goodbye. this is your latest sports news. we starting part of where there were huge celebrations this evening as hundreds of rugby fans turned out to join the wales national side to celebrate winning that grand slam in the six nations. a public reception was held at the senate as they will welcome home —— welcome home following their 14th win in a row. it was over ireland at the weekend. that saw them claim the title. it
11:52 pm
was a third grand slam for warren gatland, who played down his importance to the success of. this isn't about me. this is about the players. we have a brilliant team of coaches and management and strengthen conditions and medical style. having good people around you makes a difference. we have very good players, i have seen them run through a brick wall for you. these quys through a brick wall for you. these guys did that in this campaign. they trained their butts off and worked hard. they thoroughly deserve what happened on saturday. england's women had a clean sweep at the weekend. the red roses beat scotland 80-02 ca 96 weekend. the red roses beat scotland 80—02 ca 96 nations grand slam. there was a big crowd at twickenham. more proof that the women's game is growing fast. rocky classes other countries have to do more to stop the tournament becoming too one—sided. i think what needs to happen is the development of each of these countries they need a good structure of the youngsters coming through. we have been so lucky with the new people coming through, likejess and
11:53 pm
hannah. if you have some good pathways coming through, then obviously it helps when they go professional and other countries need to catch up. certainly going at least a semipro and getting decent sponsorship down for that to happen. he's yet to have a game for england's under 21s yet but chelsea midfielder callum hudson 0doi has been promoted to the full england squad ahead of their euro qualifiers next week. he's been mainly used in cup competitions by chelsea this season but joins james ward prowse as late inclusions into gareth southgate's squad. the 18—year—old said he thought his manager was joking when he told him. manchester united defender luke shaw has withdrawn from the squad through injury. scotland captain andy robertson is still aiming to be fit for their opening euro 2020 qualifier against kazakhstan on thursday — even though he missed their flight to undergo dental surgery. robertson apparently wanted to fly to astana today but the operation prevented him from doing that. although he was likely to be fit for san marino on sunday — he's now being more ambitious. assistant manager peter grant says the team will miss him if he can't
11:54 pm
recover in time. a big blow. we were prepared for it, obviously, before the game. he wa nted obviously, before the game. he wanted to play. the way he is he is still desperate to play and trying to get out here as well. and that is the way he is. that is what it is elected as captain. he is a fantastic player. we have always spoke about ciaran and andy and who would play here and who would play there, the beauty as we have two fantastic players. you're not going to have everybody fit. britain's richest man sirjim ratcliffe is expected to step in to secure the future of team sky — which has enjoyed tremendous success since its launch nine years ago. ever since the broadcaster announced it would be withdrawing its backing from the british cycling team at the end of the season, they've been seeking
11:55 pm
a new principal partner. it's expected the team will be renamed team ineos after the company owned by ratcliffe. that's all your sport for now. good evening to you. last week we we re good evening to you. last week we were bombarded by deep areas of lopressor being brought into our shores by a very powerfuljet stream moving across the atlantic. this week the jetstream is to the north of the uk, so things will be much more settled. we will have high pressure building and for many of us. pressure building and for many of us. it will be moisture laden air bringing quite a bit of cloud. it will feel milder. we have a few weather fronts in the forecast at the moment. moving across northern and western areas. this is the area of high pressure i was talk about which will establish itself across southern areas of the week wears on. tonight will be rather cloudy. light and patchy spells of rain around. many places will be dry. with more cloud around for most of us. tomorrow is starting off on our
11:56 pm
pleading just make cloudy note. but equally in western areas towards the north and west. more of a breeze blowing in. further south the winds will be late. you'll be hard pushed to find much sunshine around. if you find any it will be to the east of the high ground to wales, northeast scotland, northern england. temperature is not doing too bad, 12-14 temperature is not doing too bad, 12— 14 celsius. a little above the seasonal average. into wednesday, we import something milder from the south—west. you can see the orange and yellow dominating the scene. it will be quite noticeable, particularly where you get sunshine. the best of the sunshine will be across eastern areas. further north is windier, close to the area of low pressure. further spells of rain for the north—west of scotland. further south, lighter winds, variable cloud, sunshine. temperatures reaching 16 or 17 in the warmest
11:57 pm
spots. in the west, 13— 14 celsius. this feature brings when your weather, outbreaks of rain to the north of the country. a wet and windy day, a wet and breezy day for scotland, compared to last week. the further south you are a quite a story, closer to the high pressure. variable cloud, a little sunshine, we are in that mild air mass. temperatures 15— 16 celsius across eastern parts of the country. further north, cooler, something fresh and moving on behind this weather front. it will think south—east was during friday night. that will introduce something cooler. a nice day to come across the south—east. mild on friday. into the south—east. mild on friday. into the weekend, largely settle, but variable amounts of cloud and sunshine, a touch cooler with temperatures closer to the seasonal norm. a more settled and milder week to come for most of us.

i'm babita sharma in london. the headlines: a major blow for the british governmentjust ten days before brexit. theresa may's told she can't ask mps to vote on her deal for a third time. what the government cannot legitimately do is to resubmit to the house the same proposition or substantially the same proposition as that of last week, which was rejected by 149 votes. a gunmen kills three people in the dutch city of utrecht. police arrest a thirty—seven—year—old turkish man. the hunt for survivors of the mozambique cyclone continues.
