you're watching beyond 100 days... no new vote on theresa may's the new ground overlaps in the uk. the new ground overlaps the site of the former one, with the brexit deal for now — as she tells parliament it old white lane centre spot marked still doesn't have enough support. here. the south stand alone holds but the british prime minister says she hasn't given up and still hopes 17,500 fans, making it one of the to put it to the house of commons largest single tier stance on europe, designed to try and generate an atmosphere to rival the very for a third time. best. i love the fact you can see everything, everybody. the noise i continue to have discussions with when the stadium gets going is going to be magnificent. huge, what do you colleagues across the house to bring support so we can bring the vote forward this week and guarantee think? huge! love it? yes! now to brexit. in the meantime mps must decide whether to take matters get the thumbs up from the council, into their own hands — and tottenham hotspur will be coming by holding a series of votes home. on the possible ways forward. controversial australian tennis after a sprawling player nick kyrgios has been making two year investigation the headlines once again, into russian election meddling, this time at the miami open. donald trump says the mueller report is a "complete exoneration". first, he served an under—arm ace there are a lot of people against serbian dusan lajovic, before confronting a fan during the match who had heckled him. the spectator was escorted out shortly after, with kyrgios

waving him from the court. his underhand tactics winning the day! the players are starting to stand so far back to return now, it's amazing no one has ever tried it's amazing no one has ever tried it or had the imagination to do it, because it's not against the rules. 0f because it's not against the rules. of course, because it's curious, gets a huge amount of purchases. because he did it against rafi on the dow, had no issue with it in general, but it is portrayed in a different way, of course, it got a whole lot of light, but tennis is a game of adjustments, and people start doing something and somebody sta rts start doing something and somebody starts trying to do something else to counter it. i think more people had the moxie to try an underarm serve, maybe the players wouldn't stand back basically against the wall to try and return serve anymore. ifind wall to try and return serve anymore. i find it wall to try and return serve anymore. ifind it fascinating myself and i what was lost in curiouser and enforcement performance is just a curiouser and enforcement performance isjust a ridiculously unplayable he was. it's good for the

game. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. the prime minister is still trying to find a way to break the deadlock and bring her brexit agreement back to the house of commons for a third time. she acknowledged this afternoon that, as things stand now, there's no majority support for it among mps. mrs may's parliamentary partners the dup of northern ireland said today their opposition to the deal was unchanged. mps will vote tonight on a series of amendments announced by the speaker, including an option to gain control of the parliamentary process and explore new brexit options.
6:53 pm
i continue to have discussions with colleagues across the house to build a port so we can bring the vote forward this week and currently brexit. if not, the government made a commitment we would work across the house to find a majority for a way forward. the amendment in the name of the right honourable member for west dorset seems to provide this process by taking control of the order paper. i continue to believe that doing so would be an unwelcome precedent to set, which would overturn the balance of our democratic institutions. so the government will oppose this amendment this evening, but in order to fulfil our commitments to this house, would seek to provide a government time in order for this process to proceed. let's speak to our chief political correspondent vicki young, who's in the central lobby of the houses of parliament now. mps will vote on these moments
6:54 pm
later, so can you tell us about what they are and how significant this could prove to be? all eyes are on the one being put forward by oliver letwin, because it's the one that could allow mps to hold this series of so—called indicative votes, going through different brexit options. it is highly unusual, it basically means suspending the rules of the house of commons so that, on wednesday, it will be mps who decide what goes on in this place, rather than the government is. that's why the government isn't in favour of it. they have an alternative plan, but at the moment we don't have any details on that. david lidington has been answering questions about all of that, but i don't think it's going to reassure those who want mps to have their way, because he's not giving them the details of exactly how it would work, when any debate would be, and how all of that process would continue over the next week or so. so what's going to happen tonight as there will be even
6:55 pm
some conservative ministers who want to vote for that plan. if they do, then they will probably be sacked or have to resign, so you're in the same place we were a couple of weeks ago, when the government really didn't know how to handle all of that and they don't want to be let in the position where there are resignations. theresa may was making it clear that, even if they do hold this indicative votes on wednesday, she isn't bound by them. they are not legally binding and she says how can she commit to adopting them as government policy when she doesn't know what they are and her fear is that you will end up with parliament voting against everything once again. so she is making it clear that her plan b is plan a, to try again at some point to bring forward her dealfor again at some point to bring forward her deal for a again at some point to bring forward her dealfor a third time. but had to admit to date she still doesn't have support for that. if they're not legally binding, as you say, dare i ask what's the point of them? the point is, if they can get around
6:56 pm
one kind brexit alternative, the political pressure on the government, given that there doesn't seem government, given that there doesn't seem to be any kind of majority for theresa may's deal and the house that has made it clear they won't accept no deal, the political pressure may then be to change tack and put forward what mps want would be pretty huge, particularly as we get towards the next deadline of the 12th of april, whereby lots of conservative mps still feel that no deal is the default option. so i think they feel they can go through this. if oliver letwin can show he has the numbers across the house of commons for at least a day or longer to change the rule so that mps decide what goes on here, there's no saying he can't do that again on another day and it could try and bring forwards some kind of legally binding bill or something similar. so the president, and downing street is very concerned about this, that they have the numbers to do it, is a real worry for the government,
6:57 pm
because it leaves theresa may standing there, not able to bring her own dealforward for standing there, not able to bring her own deal forward for another votes but also unable to control what goes on and looking at what's going on around her rather than leading the way. interesting night ahead, thank you. and tomorrow morning from 9am radio 5live and the bbc news channel join forces for a special live phone—in to get your views on brexit. you can contact us with your questions and comments on twitter by using the hashtag #bbcaskthis, you can call us on 08085 909693 or text us on 85058. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. good evening, a lovely day with the sunshine on your back, chilly in the shade, and other sunshine is so
6:58 pm
temperatures are on the comets. clear sky through england and wales overnights, as low as —2. but may be increasing overnights, so lifting later and for us to start the day. some spots of light rain in northern ireland. also across northern scotland, with rain throughout the day. lot of cloud around throughout the day. some sunny spells here and there and temperatures similar to today, but we won't have sunshine. through the days ahead, milder air will work its way in and temperatures will be on the rise for all, perhaps as high as 18 for some 00:08:47,512 --> 2147483051:41:08,919 in the east later this week. 2147483051:41:08,919 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 bye— bye.
