people go surfing down the severn estuary. good evening and welcome to bbc news. theresa may has spent the day meeting senior ministers in downing street as she battles to get support for her brexit plans after the summit yesterday. the uk was originally meant to leave the eu in one week on march the 29, but after two failed attempts by theresa may to get her withdrawal agreement through the commons, the eu has agreed to an extension. it means that if she gets her deal through parliament next week brexit will happen on the 22nd of may, to give mps time to pass the necessary legislation. if the deal fails, the uk has to propose another way forward by april the 12th. if there

are no new proposals, we could leave without a deal. jeremy corbyn said mps should be given a series of alternative options next week to vote on. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. how long now? how much longer before we leave? how much longerfor this prime minister? how much longer can our politics really go on like this? just after midnight in brussels, theresa may confirmed the eu granted not as long a delay she had asked for, but a pause. good morning. an extra fortnight to give her another chance to pass her deal. the date of our departure will now be extended to the 22nd of may. if parliament does not agree a deal next week, the eu council will extend article 50 until the 12th of april. at this point, we would either leave with no deal or put forward an alternative plan. so we will leave a little late, if mps are back down and back her.

why would they do that when she has strongly pointed the finger at them? doesn't this delay just postpone the dilemma you still find yourself in? what makes you think you have a chance of passing your vote next week, and do you think actually you should apologise for the remarks he made about what parliament has done? there are passionately held views on all sides of this argument. and yes, as i said last night, i expressed frustration. but i know mps are frustrated, too. getting the deal through next week in a meaningful vote means that we can have the extension to the 22nd of may, get our legislation through, deliver on the referendum. theresa may missed out on this last photocall in brussels, with its booming music and cheesy grins. no one here really believes she will get her deal through back in westminster. odds—on, it will then be for mps to determine a different deal or a longer delay. the fate of brexit is in the hands

of our british friends. at the eu, we are prepared for the worst, but hope for the best. as you know, hope dies last. how much hope, though, does number 10's weary team have? if the deal fails, they have already promised mps can have different votes on different versions of brexit. what isn't clear, though, is whether those votes would force ministers hands and change the plan, orjust give a sense of direction. the government would provide parliament with the means to come to a view on the options available. some ministers think the government should lead to that process and be bound by whatever gets most support in the commons. the problem is, others and many backbenchers are horrified by the idea. with no majority, though, theresa may's choice may be budge or be budged. have a nice weekend. are you supporting

the indicative vote ? parliament has to take control of the process, the prime minister has failed, her deal is gone. neither labour or some of the prime minister's allies are coming to her aid. she has to listen and consult with parliament. you can't go on living in a bunker and pretending it will come all right next week. it won't unless there is a change by her. the government has not taken a grip of the situation. it has been prepared to be pushed around at every level. i think cabinet divisions have caused real problems for the prime minister. westminster is already sparring over the next round. how to move forward if and when the government loses its deal. another fight breaking out before the current battle is even over. laura kuenssberg. our political correspondentjonathan laura kuenssberg. our political correspondent jonathan blake laura kuenssberg. our political correspondentjonathan blake joins us now. correspondentjonathan blake joins us now. some breathing space, a bit

of headroom, where are the new ideas? that is the big question. a bit more time perhaps for the prime minister, but her position is as difficult as it was. she doesn't really have any new options or none at least it seems that she is willing to embrace at this stage. so, the timetable that the eu has imposed on the uk allowing that short extension to the brexit process does allow theresa may to have one more go at getting mps to back her deal next week, but so far, it seems they are very unlikely to do that and it will be a case of third time unlucky if the deal was put to the house of commons again next week, as laura was explaining in her report there, what does seem likely is an opportunity for parliament to try and throw its weight behind a consensus, its preferred outcome to the brexit process. this so—called series of indicative votes where mps will get to choose one after the other or

perhaps in one big vote, between say revoking article 50, leaving without a deal, rerunning the referendum even, accepting the prime minister ‘s deal and any other number of outcomes. exactly how that process will happen is not clear. it will go one of two ways. on monday, mps will vote on a neutral motion and that could be amended and it is likely a well to get mps to vote on holding that series of indicative votes later in the wake or the government can later in the wake or the government ca n allow later in the wake or the government can allow time and manage the process itself. if it does that, it has to only outcome and i see the prime minister and the government trying to trying to attempt to put in place something that they have hitherto ruled out and indeed spoken out against. a nervous time over the weekend, i think, out against. a nervous time over the weekend, ithink, when out against. a nervous time over the weekend, i think, when talks will continue between the government and opposition parties about what the next move will be. jonathan, thank you very much. jonathan blake in westminster. joining us now is

marcus fish who previously voted against the withdrawal agreement and hejoins us now against the withdrawal agreement and he joins us now from against the withdrawal agreement and hejoins us now from his constituency. thank you forjoining us constituency. thank you forjoining us this evening. what is your view of the withdrawal agreement now given the fact that we have got these extensions? look, if it has not changed, it remains a really bad dealfor the not changed, it remains a really bad deal for the country. it is not supportable, it will keep us in a customs union, keep us as a rule taker and that is the opposite of what people voted for and the problem with this idea of indicative votes that we were talking about before is that we have already had votes on all of these over the past three years and they have been rejected by the house, staying in a customs union does not work because it gives up control of our trade policy, the single market makes us real tigers and gives us freedom of movement and these things are things that we said we would not do in our ma nifesto that we said we would not do in our manifesto under core to the idea of

leaving the european union. i think it is really silly to be going along with this. the civil service has been doing fantastic work on aviation and permits and aerospace parts, vehicle certifications, insurance... there are so many micro people are very worried. we have the cbi and the tuc unusually coming together to issue that warning of how the economy would be badly affected in the view, notjust of business, but the unions as well, if we leave with no deal. how can you reassure voices as strong and as influential as that? they will have had a house view all along but have not want to brag that to happen at all and to be frank, they have been campaigning to overturn the result andi campaigning to overturn the result and i am not surprised that they are still doing that. i do think it is pretty unedifying, because it is not based on a realistic assessment of

what is actually happening and we have a fantastic opportunity before us, but we need in parliament to have the courage and the owner to honour that referendum result and actually leave the european union and that is what parliament is there to do at this point. why would the cbi and a whole range of their members, leading businesses, say that it would be bad for us to leave with the micro if you are correct and it will be fine? because it suits them to be part of the european union or in its orbit because they have the money to pay lobbyists to set the rules in ways in the eu that suits them and that is the reality of the matter. the reality is that 90% of businesses in this country, do not trade with the

eu and our ability to make the rules for them, to have the best possible trading conditions in future, is not something that should be beholden to just a few ceos who happen to like things just the way they are. just a few ceos who happen to like thingsjust the way they are. how should theresa may respond if you cannot get her withdrawal deal through next week? as i said, i don't think that indicative votes is the way to go. i think she would be regarded as a hero in the country if she said, right, let us go out, without formal arrangements, we have these reciprocal arrangements which have been put in place on a standstill basis, so that the worst of the effects that everyone has been fearing, will not come about. that is what the eu have been doing and that is what we have been doing on this site. we have almost finished doing all of the statutory instruments that we need to make our

law effective. things are actually ina law effective. things are actually in a pretty good state of reparation. we need to have the confidence as a country that we can negotiate well and have a good relationship, as two independent jurisdictions dealing with each other. but we should not give in to the surrender terms that have been put on the table. we have not been in some sort of fight or war and we would not want to, so why are we thinking about giving up our sovereignty on a permanent basis, when people voted for the exact opposite? again, it does not look as if theresa may wants to go with the no deal option, she would not have asked for an extension if she did not think she could do something different. if you cannot get the deal through, how secure is she as prime minister? should she resign? i do think that the negotiations could have been handled much better and i think there could have been some

negotiations, i don't think there have been any actual negotiations. should she resign, marcus fysh?” think the cabinet has a very important role to play now in terms of making sure that we have leadership that can take us through asa leadership that can take us through as a country. we need the conservative party to get behind and the dup to get behind the ideas we have set out for a positive relationship for a coherent negotiating strategy and that is what we need to do. yes, i think cabinet is coming to the point where it needs to make some changes. marcus fysh mp, thank you very much. pleasure. a former ira bomber has named the people who he believes are responsible for the 1974 birmingham pub bombings. the man known as witness pub bombings. the man known as witness 0 was giving evidence during the inquest of the 21 victims. he said he had been given permission to reveal the names by the current head of the ira.

it was an evening in november 1974. two explosions in two pubs in birmingham. 21 people were killed and more than 200 were injured. six men were falsely imprisoned for the crime. after spending almost two decades in jail they were acquitted, and that's when some of the families of those killed began calling for fresh inquests. four weeks in and today a former volunteer of the ira told the court who he thought was responsible. he said he'd been given permission to do so by the head of the ira in dublin. the man known as witness 0 gave four names. he said seamus mcloughlin was the officer commanding the ira in birmingham at the time, and was in charge of selecting targets. mick murray, he said, was one of the bombers. another member of the bombing team, he said, was michael hayes. and then when asked about a james gavin, witness 0 said, "well,

he was involved." all are dead apart from michael hayes, seen here two years ago. in court, my brother and my sisterand i, we were all sobbing, hearing what witness 0 had to say about one of the bombers who, quote, said, he's harmless now. that's because the damage has already been done. what makes what was said in court today so significant is that for 18 months there was an ongoing legal battle between some of the families of those killed and the coroner over the scope of the inquests and whether it could include the potential perpetrator issue. the court of appeal ruled that it could not. but today, for hours, the court discussed suspects. when asked about a michael patrick reilly, witness 0 said he didn't recall him at all. reilly has always denied

playing any part. 21 killed 44 years ago, and now the names of the potential perpetrators have been mentioned for the first time in a formal setting. the inquests continue. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. counterterror detectives have charged a 50—year—old man with attempted murder after a man was stabbed in a supermarket car park in surrey at the weekend. vincent fuller has been charged with possession of a bladed article, having an offensive weapon, affray and racially aggravated fear. he will appear in front of magistrates tomorrow. a 19—year—old man was injured at the tesco store. police in the west midlands say two men have been arrested after five mosques had their windows smashed in birmingham yesterday. security has been stepped up at mosques across birmingham after five were

vandalised in the early hours of thursday. police investigations are continuing and emotive remains unknown. thejury continuing and emotive remains unknown. the jury at the trial of the match commander at hillsborough have been told they will be sent out on monday to consider their verdicts. they will have to consider if david duckenfield is guilty or not of causing the deaths by gross negligence of 95 fans at the fa cup semifinal in 1989. humberside police say the death of the university student libby squire whose body was found in the humber estuary on wednesday is being treated as a potential homicide. the 21—year—old originally from buckinghamshire disappeared at the beginning of february after a night out with friends. police say a 24—year—old man is arrested on suspicion of abduction remains under investigation. danny savage is in hull with the latest. libby squire was lasting in the early hours of friday, february the 1st, sitting on this bench which has now been covered with flowers. after that, like that night, she vanished and

there has been a huge police investigation taking place ever since but it has always been treated asa since but it has always been treated as a missing person enquiry. all that changed this week, because libby ‘s body was found floating the humber estuary at spurn point, 20 miles away near the sea. it was recovered by a lifeboat and a postmortem took place yesterday. as a result of that, police now believe that libby squire died as a result ofa that libby squire died as a result of a crime. this afternoon they released a statement saying her death and the recovery of her body now leads us to solely investigate this as a potential homicide. that can mean murder, it could be manslaughter, it could be an unlawful killing, but any thought that people may have had that libby squire was unfortunate and somehow fell into the river near here by accident that night is obviously now not the main line of enquiry by humberside police. she was a 21—year—old student studying philosophy here at the university of

hull. this has almost turned into a shrine to her ever since the news broke that her body had been found and people in the area are deeply upset by what happened and probably even more so tonight, now knowing that police are treating this as a major crime. danny savage reporting. in under half an hour and gumbo kick off their qualifying campaign for euro 2020, they take on the czech republic at wembley and natalie parkes has the team news. the semifinal and final will be played here at wembley. let us start again. england have more incentive than usual to want to qualify for the because the semifinal and final final will be played here at wembley. the big news coming out of wembley. the big news coming out of wembley is that jayden sancho will start for england in place of the injured marcus rashford. he turns 19 on monday and this would be his

fourth england cap and his first start. he is the first player to be born in this millennium to earn a senior level cap and that makes me feel very old indeed. declan rice is on the bench, he had an eventful week, he had to apologise yesterday for old social media post he made when he was 16 that appear to show his support for the ira, something he denies and he has apologised. it is after his controversial switch last month from the republic of ireland to england. and callum hudson odoi is on the bench, he is 18 years old, he has yet to make a premier league start for chelsea and he has yet to even play once and for the england under 21 is. he could get his first cap if he comes off the bench. england have an excellent record in qualifying and remember this game and the game against montenegro are on monday are their last two matches before they play in the nation's league semi—finals in june. plenty to look forward to, especially for these fans who really wa nt to

especially for these fans who really want to see what these youngsters are made of. rain, rising rivers and broken bridges are hampering aid effo rts broken bridges are hampering aid efforts for those affected by a cyclone in southern africa. the death toll officially across the region is 440, although the true number is thought to be far higher. hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced across mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi. the uk has donated £22 million to the aid effort, 8 million of that is from the public. a reporter has travelled beyond the coast of a city in mozambique and is just outside a village where the true scale of this disaster is becoming clear to see. this would have been the fastest way to get aid to those trapped in this flooded interior. but nature had other plans. help hasn't made it here yet, so they've gone looking for it. making their way to safety with the little they could salvage, this group are part of 400,000 people who have been displaced. official figures say just over

200 people have died, but the residents of this area believe it's much higher. translation: a lot of people have died in my village. we saw the bodies of 76 people, and then yesterday we found four more. translation: all the children are sick and hungry. but at the hospital, there is no medicine because it was damaged by the flooding. days after disaster struck, i'm told bodies were floating in this water. this didn't used to be a river. there were once houses here. people tell me that the water levels are receding, and with that they are finding more bodies. but they've no means to deal with them, and they are desperate for help. with winds of nearly 200 kilometres per hour, the sheer force of the cyclone threw everything off track. survivors keep arriving here. they include babies, the most vulnerable.

young and old make it to shore. they are hungry, exhausted, but relieved. but in dondo, there's desperation. this is one of 20 schools turned into a distribution centre. but there isn't enough food for the numbers turning up. they are sent away. no more food to go around. translation: i have children, i have four children and all they've got to eat is bread. we need aid now. thousands of people are still missing, trapped in remote islands of stagnant water, and the first cases of cholera are now being reported. pumza fihlani, bbc news, beira. we arejoined on we are joined on the line we arejoined on the line by we are joined on the line by the unicef deputy representative there in mozambique. thank you forjoining us in mozambique. thank you forjoining us andi in mozambique. thank you forjoining us and i know this is an extremely busy time. how many people are you

trying to help? 0k, at the moment, the latest estimate, it is close to 1.8 million people in need, among which 50% are children and we are talking about 900,000 children in need of assistance. in need of assistance for water, health, nutrition and especially also as the rescue effort is taking place, children separated from their families, who need to be reunified with their parents for their kin. what sort of conditions where they and you having to cope with? very difficult conditions. i mean, we have got the situation of people still isolated and surrounded by waters, which need to be rescued and brought to dry land, but we also

have the whole population that was hit by the cyclones across all of their houses and their belongings, which have gathered in schools, health centres,, just surviving with very little means. that is the reason why the massive relief operation is under way. with so much water around and not clean water, of course, how great is the risk of certain diseases flaring up?m course, how great is the risk of certain diseases flaring up? it is actually very high. the risk of waterborne diseases, whether it is diarrhoea or even worse, cholera, is very high. so the ministry of health, together with its partners in unicefare health, together with its partners in unicef are preparing for a large vaccination campaign in beira, to reduce the risk of cholera, but of course, clean water is needed and also setting up the medical

facilities to treat cases, should they emerge. how clear are you of they emerge. how clear are you of the scale of the problem that you are dealing with? it is understood that the real death toll is far higher than the official one at the moment. for sure. the president of mozambique has announced that the casualties will. .. the mozambique has announced that the casualties will... the number of deaths would be high. at the moment, the official figure is only the one, the official figure is only the one, the bodies that have been found, so it will be higher. still, there are a lot of people who have survived and a lot of people who are now our risk and require immediate assistance. thank you very much for talking to us. people across new zealand have observed two minutes of silence in memory of the 50 people killed in shootings at two mosques in christchurch one week ago. the prime ministerjoined in christchurch one week ago. the prime minister joined thousands in christchurch one week ago. the

prime ministerjoined thousands of mourners near the mosque, one of two targeted in the attack. she told survivors and families of the victims that the nation mourned with them. clive myrie sent this report. cylinders of all five came together to show a willingness to work towards a society where everyone feels valued, everyone feels safe and everyone feels equal and of course the aim of that is to prevent a future tragedy like what we saw it happening again. this place has been defiled. the al noor mosque isn't fit for worship — the memory of violence still fresh. a crime scene, it's out of bounds on this, the holiest day of the week in islam. so the faithful must go elsewhere. allahu akbar...

this call to prayer also sounded out exactly seven days ago, but was followed by gunshots. now in its wake, silence. two minutes of space for a country to breathe, suffocated for a week by all—consuming grief. last friday, i stood in this mosque and saw hatred and rage in the eyes of the terrorist who killed and murdered 50 innocent people. listening, survivors of the massacre and an estimated 20,000 people of all faiths, united in defying the wishes of the killer.

this terrorist sought to tear our nation apart. but instead we have shown that new zealand is unbreakable. the country's prime minister attended the commemoration service, along with five men who'd arrived in christchurch earlier in the week with stories of loss. i take people for hajj pilgrimage to saudi, mecca. and one of the sisters, who is a devout muslim, linda armstrong, i took her for hajj in 2017. and she was one of my best group. and i said i would go there and do whatever i can to help people to bury her peacefully.

and buried peacefully she was, along with 26 others this day, including mucad ibrahim, the youngest victim, aged just three. new zealand has had to ask itself some tough questions in the last seven days. is it really as welcoming to strangers as it would like to think? the al noor mosque will reopen shortly and the veneration of god will return indoors. but an open and frank conversation about islamophobia, hatred and white supremacy has moved into the open and cannot be ignored. clive myrie, bbc news, in christchurch. time for a look at the weather. the

weekend is looking decent enough for most of us, there will be a few showers around, but the main message is it is turning quite a bit cooler, you can see the colder air coming in off the atlantic, it is not desperately colder, you can see a few degrees cooler than what we have had in the last few days. right now, very strong winds in scotland, gale —force very strong winds in scotland, gale—force wind in the western and northern isles, wintry showers and places, elsewhere it is much,, a bit of cloud, touch of frost in the north tonight and in the south it looks like it will be mild overnight. tomorrow, a lot of dry weather, a few showers there in the north west of scotland. a bit of cloud in the south. i think the sun will be hazy in places, like birmingham and certainly the south of the country. beyond that, sunday is looking brighter, particularly in the south and then next week is not looking too bad at all.

this is bbc world news, the headlines: eu leaders finally agreed to delay their withdrawal beyond next friday. the fate of brexit is in the hands of our british friend. we are the eu and prepared for the waste but hope for the best. the ira bomber names fahrman in the bombings. a two minutes' silence, observed in new zealand to remember the fifty people shot dead one week ago today. police say they're treating the death of university student libby squire as an ‘unlawful killing'. more rescue operations to save thousands cut off in southern africa after floods caused by the cyclone there. more now on brexit, and following the latest

developments, what could happen next? earlier, our correspondent chris morris explained all the potential options that lie ahead over the next few weeks. if theresa may's deal, the deal she has done with the eu for the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration gets passed in a third meaningful bolt that made the 22nd is the date we would be looking forfor an the 22nd is the date we would be looking for for an extension. if the deal is rejected, that dates would be april the 12th which really is not very much of an extension at all. so i think the eyes of the european union and brussels and across other capitals as well will be on the house of commons next week because as we have heard an awful lot will be happening there. there will be legislation put forward to change in law, the withdrawal date. it will be this potential series of indicative votes and other forms of brexit including potentially a softer brexit a bit like norway. the relationship norway has at the eu. and of course that third meaningful vote in the house of commons with

that i think if you look at what happened here last night at the eu summits, ithink happened here last night at the eu summits, i think you could in one sense see last night summit the eu sort of gave up on the chance of that third meaningful vote passing. that is why they sought help push the ball back into the uk court. they are still really saying there are two options. if that deal does not pass and expect to see the eu does not think it rare. then they are does not think it rare. then they a re really does not think it rare. then they are really only two options left. one is to leave the eu with no deal, and secondly, to go for a much longer extension which would involve taking part in the eu elections. and it is those two options, no deal or a longer extension and i think the eu is saying to politicians across westminster, that the choice you will have to make. well it promises to be yet another incredibly busy week in parliament next week and beyond, and believe it or not, it could get even more complicated than it already is. joining me from her home in guildford to explain more, is professor amelia hadfield

from the university of surrey. thank you very much forjoining us on this friday evening. very good of you. first of all, let us define how terms, what if an indicative votes? well, it's an ability for the members of parliament to a day out a spectrum of opportunities i think with regards to how they see a possible deal, but possibly something a bit closer to it. the customs union opportunity it could be single market opportunity, it could be customs union and set this market it could be a norway bl, it could even potentially be a second referendum. say you have a wide spectrum of opportunities and different mps will back it up at once and it will all begin on monday, we know that i knew

amendment has been delayed for debate for monday but terry mp and labourmp andi debate for monday but terry mp and labour mp and i think that's incredibly important that cross party consensus they're trying to achieve a degree of compromise for theresa may up until this point who has been unable to do. how is it organised? can has been unable to do. how is it organised ? can anybody has been unable to do. how is it organised? can anybody chipped in and a beer? to my knowledge, yes it is. the speaker of the house has the ability to choose the amendments and he has before. there is a degree of accreditation with regards to that choice. it will be made on monday and it looks like the bolt itself will be going on wednesday. the question of course is is it good to be an indicative votes and how many of the mps feel they want to contribute to that, will there be extensions from that? would it be an overwhelming majority behind this and live a be so close that a

committee does not produce a tremendous clear whenever anyone if you have one of them, there is no clear winner. my consensus is in terms of the packaging, we will clearly have both on the decision to change the date and an indicative votes a nd change the date and an indicative votes and metro area have led meaningful vote. to be semi—white —— might want to watch and see what happens in times of the votes and see if a ringer and a clear winner emerges because if it does then she can lay down the rich will not make it for at that time through the house. the speaker has made it clear, he takes a dim view of things being brought back to the house. how important is it an indicative boat times, if somebody somehow comes up with something we have not had before and has not been rejected? and surely will have heard it before i think it would be some sort of package that will be seeing vaguely

familiar to some. it's becoming a clear, it cannot be made in front of the house again if it's anything like a photocopy of the previous one, it has to be a significant change and a substantial change. that could stand as the sort of deal you have now but with the extension you have now but with the extension you may tolerate that but it's exactly the same in every other sense, it's simply not going to be able to garner the comp or not —— compromise that will allow it to clear that said the opportunity i think members will test and see which of the possible formula out there they feel happy is to back, thatis there they feel happy is to back, that is obviously the next step at this point. the scottish government is warning that shortages of staff in some key sectors, such as health and social care, will get worse when britain leaves the eu. ministers submitted evidence to westminster‘s migration advisory committee, highlighting concerns about retaining and recruiting staff

— and asked for more control over immigration — to tailor it to scotland's needs. here's our scotland editor sarah smith. adults with a learning disability are being taught would work by german staff in northeast scotland. more than half of the staff that at this residential community are from the eu. but after brexit, european workers will be allowed to come here for only 12 months at a time. you think it will be possible to get staff from the local area from the rest of scotland ? staff from the local area from the rest of scotland? there is already not enough, we know in aberdeen unit had to close down because they could not get enough employees. so i don't think there is enough people around. we seem to already struggle to get enough people to come and help so i am worried this might get even worse. this way... is a remarkable

community where staff and their families live together in homes with several adults with a learning disability. they live together and meet each other as people and to break down those barriers. of cameras. the whole of the social ca re cameras. the whole of the social care sector is heavily reliant on eu workers and in places like this, they're already feeling brexit effect. we are seeing this year we are having quite a drop up in the number of applications we receive. it's been quite a drastic decline actually. social care faces special challenges but the wider economy will not be immune. the scottish government fear is any restrictions placed on eu nationals coming into work will just make placed on eu nationals coming into work willjust make it placed on eu nationals coming into work will just make it worse. placed on eu nationals coming into work willjust make it worse. so they want to run their own separate scottish immigration policy and apply different rules for the rest of the uk. that could help

businesses, most of their staff are from the eu. after brexit, it could be possible to issue these as it would allow immigrants like them to work on the end scotland. but that's not something the uk government will allow. here are the boss who is space already struggles with her treatment. it's difficult to attract any people from the uk to come and then i think this will be the challenge for the last ten years and it's going to be the challenge in the next ten years. you don't think you'll be able to find all your staff. i don't think so. scotland relies on immigration more heavily than the rest of the uk so restrictions after brexit that have a greater impact on the economy. the uk government says its plans are designed to drive up the wages and productivity across the whole of the uk. thousands of people lined the banks of the river severn,
