this is business live from bbc news with sally bundock and ben thompson. the biggest shake—up of the internet ina the biggest shake—up of the internet in a generation. the european union votes on reforming copyright laws good morning welcome to breakfast, with dan walker which could change the way we use and louise minchin. the web. our headlines today: live from london, that‘s our top story mps vote to seize control on tuesday 26th march. of the brexit process in a further blow for theresa may. three of her ministers resign tojoin the rebellion. the ayes to the right 329, the noes the changes would make tech to the left 302. companies like google and twitter responsible for copyright breaches the prime minister insists committed by their users, she won't be bound by any new plan that may emerge from these but its sparked massive indicative votes, protetsts — we find out why which take place tomorrow. also in the programme just one day after apple‘s with a no deal exit still a possibility, shift to news, gaming i've been looking at the trade and video streaming — samsung gives a shock profit deals already in place and what's left to do. more potholes are being patched up but there are fears that a quick fix solution is just

skimming the surface. silencing the racist, raheem sterling responds to abuse from the fans. today we are looking at a cloudier day than yesterday. rain in the north and west. the south and east will see some sunny spells after a chilly start. we will have more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday 26th march. our top story: in an unprecidented move, mps have voted to take control of the brexit agenda. three government ministers — steve brine, alistair burt and richard harrington — resigned so they could support the cross—party amendment. there will now be a series of votes this week on what kind of brexit the commons will support. the government says it sets a dangerous precedent. our political correspondent nick eardley explains. this was supposed to be the week the uk left the eu but instead,

what brexit looks like is still up in the air. last night, the government suffered another defeat in parliament. the ayes to the right — 329. the noes to the left — 302. this one allows mps to take some control over what happens next. tomorrow, they'll consider their own brexit ideas. that could include things like a closer trading relationship with europe in a customs union. it could mean replacing our current relationship with a free trade deal, leaving without a deal or another referendum on leaving at all. but it's far from clear whether mps here can agree on anything. it's possible nothing at all will get a majority and even if it does, the prime minister says she might not implement it. when we've tried this kind of thing in the past, it's produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome at all. commotion.

order! there is a further risk when it comes to brexit as the uk is only one half of the equation and the votes could lead to an outcome which is unnegotiable with the eu. labour said the pm had to respect the process. mr speaker, the government must take this process seriously. we do not know what the house will decide on wednesday. this house must also consider whether any deal should be put to the people for a confirmatory vote. there isn't much time if mps are to agree a new plan. eu wants some clarity in a fortnight. the government will still try to win more support for its own deal and maybe bring it back for another vote, but ministers now fear parliament will try and force something else. we're joined now from westminster by our political correspondent, iain watson.

ami am i right in thinking it is even more unclear? absolutely. i can quotejeremy corbyn back at more unclear? absolutely. i can quote jeremy corbyn back at you more unclear? absolutely. i can quotejeremy corbyn back at you and say we do not know what mps will do on wednesday. it's worth reflecting what a night it was here last night when one veteran mp said a revolution is under way. another called it a massacre. three mps resigned. alistair burt are very respected mp at the foreign office. they want to seize control agenda from government so that parliament can discuss alternatives to the theresa may brexit deal. some are likely to be a closer relationship with the eu, something like norway. on the other hand, are more distant

relationship, a free trade deal, for example, the possibility of a referendum. but even if mps can reach an agreement on a particular option, theresa may may not implement it, secondly, an option of a customs union with the european union would go against the conservative party manifesto so we may even see a situation where she either resigns or calls an election. another day... i would like to see some clarity but we cannot promise. every time we think it is going to get clearer it becomes a bit murkier. later in the programme, we'll speak to the health secretary, matt hancock. that's at 7.15. and also to labour's hilary benn, who is chair of the brexit select committee at 08.30. social media companies can reprove contact which go against vaccination. they are concerned about campaigns against

vaccinations. nhs leaders are concerned about campaigns against vaccinations including measles, mumps and rubella. the uptake of mmr has been falling in england and last year there were more than 80,000 measles cases in europe, the highest in a decade. social media companies can reprove contact which go against vaccination. they are concerned about campaigns against vaccinations. coroners in england and wales could be given new powers to investigate the deaths of stillborn babies. currently inquests are only held for infants who have shown signs of life after being born. under the government's proposal all full—term stillbirths, which happen after 37 weeks, would be looked into, giving bereved parents some answers as to what happened. any stillbirth is a tragedy and, although we have robust processes in place to investigate them, we think we can go further and we should go further. the use of coroners to investigate in an open and transparent would not help not only help families who have suffered but will help further the numbers of stillbirths in our country.

four 15—year—old school girls from oxford have started an online petition to make climate change a core part of the national curriculum. the government says the subject is already covered in science and geography, but the students want to see schools run more sustainably and a greater focus on the impact and solutions of climate change. katharine da costa reports. at 15, these girls are in the middle of their mock exams but instead of revision worries, they have bigger things keeping them awake at night. other countries struggling with like forest fires, drought and all of these things, it's really heartbreaking. i think it'sjust seeing all the pictures of what's happened to the animals and all of the places that have just been submerged under the water. that's kind of frightening to think that if we carry on the way that we are, that we could end up like that. in science lessons, they're taught about the causes of global warming but they say there's not enough information about what can be done to prevent it. we want to see it included in as many subjects as possible. like not a gcse as it's own, but like how it relates to every subject because it does.

like how we're going to end up seeing the effects, but also how we can grow to live more sustainably. what examples of renewable energy do you know about? with an 0fsted review of what's taught in schools under way, could this be the right time to reassess how climate change is covered? in terms of the causes of climate change, particularly from a science point of view, that is very much covered within the curriculum. i do agree with them, however, that we could be looking at us as environmental citizens in what we could be doing better and embedding that far more. chanting: save our planet, save our planet! making climate change a more prominent part of the curriculum is also one of the demands of the campaign group youth strike 4 climate which has seen hundreds of thousands of young people walk out of lessons in support. katharine da costa, bbc news, in 0xfordshire. prince charles and the duchess of cornwall have met the cuban president, miguel diaz—canel, during the first

of the things for which cuba is famous. ballet is one thing at which cubans excel. charles and camilla visited a ballet school run by carlos acosta, formerly principal artist at the royal ballet in london. does he, a cuban, think his country is changing? i can see for a long time, this sense of evolving at a cuban pace but we're getting there, we're getting there, there is definitely more openness. cuba, a country moving with great care to balance old ways with new imperatives and find a new place in the world. nicholas witchell, bbc news, havana. the pentagon has authorised a billion dollars to be used for building a wall on the us—mexico border. the funds are the first under the state of emergency declared by president trump to bypass congress. democrats have objected. the money will be used to put up

fallen and that is why we have the frost around. hazy sunshine to start with, cloud melting away, but through the afternoon parts of england and wales will see a bit more and again the sunshine will turn hazy. for northern ireland, scotland, and the far north of northern england, we are looking at a bit more cloud and across the far north of scotland we have a front introducing some rain. by the term waving, it is doing that. it will move away, and then the rain will come back. highs of nine to 11! in london. as we head on through the evening and overnight, we still have a waving front producing some rain across the north, a north—westerly breeze, and there will be some holes in the cloud. tonight we could also see some pockets of mist and fog forming, but these generally are our overnight lows. we start wednesday once again with a front in the north producing some splashes of rain.

0nce producing some splashes of rain. once again there will be areas of cloud around. the fog will lift fairly readily overnight, and once again we will see some lengthy sunny spells. the other thing is that the wind direction is changing tomorrow a south—westerly, a mild direction for us, temperatures up a notch or two. highs of ten to around 15 or possibly 16, somewhere in the south — south—east, and maybe in aberdeenshire as well. as we head in through wednesday into thursday, high pressure still very much with us. high pressure still very much with us. again you can see whether fronts not too far away from the north, producing cloud and also some rain at times as well. thursday, you are more likely to see some patchy mist and fog, which will lift as we go through the morning, and then an essentially dry day with a fair bit of sunshine for many of us. still the cloud across the north—west, and temperatures continuing to rise. 16, possibly 17, especially again across parts of the south—east. but these temperatures not bad for this stage in march. as we take a look at the forecast on friday, here is our

weather front that was quite close by, introducing some thicker cloud and also some rain, once again a fair bit of dry weather around, variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells, and somewhere on friday could hit 17 or possibly even 18. for the weekend, temperatures dipping attached. thank you very much, a little bit of sunshine the way. it is a little bit yellow, not quite red. let's take a look at today's papers. unsurprisingly, brexit is dominating nearly all of the front pages this morning. the times says theresa may has been humiliated by the tory rebellion, as three ministers defied the whip and resigned in order to vote for the amendment. in the guardian's view, the beleaguered pm is once again fighting to keep control of the brexit process. the picture story is the escalating tension between israel and gaza. the mail warns that the current

edinburgh. you can explain why this happened. i was reading all the business e—mails about it yesterday, and it was to do with the fact it was the incorrect paperwork from the day before. yesterday that flight had happened, and it wasn't the usual ba crew and ba pilot, it was one brought in for this flight and they were going off the previous day's paperwork. the wrong paperwork had been submitted and duplicated again. they only knew when they said welcome to edinburgh, apparently. lovely. thank you very much, everybody. mps aren't the only ones who are frustrated by the brexit deadlock. a new report by the national centre for social research suggests more than 80% of voters think the government has handled the negotiations badly, and are fed up with the lack of progress. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to parliament bar in parliament square in nottingham to hear what people there think.

take me back tojune 2016. how did you feel? i woke up and i was in tea rs. you feel? i woke up and i was in tears. i bought an irish passport a year ago. my confidence levels were really good. i was relieved. i thought we finally done it, we did it. three years on, we brought voters to parliament, the nottingham bar, that is. to hear how one thing has finally united them. brexit means brexit, and we are going to make a success of it. it is the now majority belief on both sides that negotiations have been less success, more shambles. i always thought it was going to be difficult, but it has been handled far worse than it could have been. to say there is no sort of unity in parliament is an understatement. it is quite clear that no—one in that room has any idea how to pull this off. that no—one in that room has any idea how to pull this offlj completely agree with them, it has been handled appallingly. you've politicians more interested in

keeping the crumbling parties together than actually trying to figure out a decent solution to the brexit negotiations. today, only a tiny minority, amongst them claire, believe things are going well.|j tiny minority, amongst them claire, believe things are going well. i am in the 7%, and i think that i am satisfied because i think they couldn't have done it better. i mean, theresa may... really, they couldn't have done it any better? theresa may was given the poisoned chalice. if theresa may has done one thing, she has managed to unify the country by being this unified in parliament. i don't know how to respond to that. we don't approach these negotiations expecting value but anticipating success. a withdrawal agreement which will ensure a smooth and orderly departure on 29 march next year. ensure a smooth and orderly departure on 29 march next yeahm we we re departure on 29 march next yeahm we were to say... it is notjust the view of how negotiations have gone that has changed, but the view of what is ahead. more on both sides now believe the economy will be worse off post brexit and that the deal on offer is a bad deal. worse off post brexit and that the deal on offer is a bad deallj worse off post brexit and that the deal on offer is a bad deal. i knew the economy was going to be bad, but it is far worse. i would say i am

more pessimistic now, yes, because she is in two years floundering around the eu to produce what is essentially the worst solution, that no—one wants. essentially the worst solution, that no-one wants. we can't do this, this is going to damage the country irreparably. and furthermore, this is going to impact generations to come. the referendum left 52% raising come. the referendum left 5296 raising a glass, 48% drowning their sorrows, but posters for the national centre of social research say it is remarkable that leave voters today have become as critical as remainers of both the process and the outcome. and we will be speaking to one of the people behind that research here on bbc breakfast a little later on. coming up we have a young lad called cameron with a bionic arm which makes him look like bb—8 out of the star wars films, and demand from career who can

about vaccines, the health secretary matt hancock has told bbc news. nhs leaders are concerned about campaigns against vaccinations including measles, mumps and rubella. the uptake of mmr has been falling in england and last year there were more than 80,000 measles cases in europe, the highest in a decade. coroners in england and wales could be given new powers to investigate the deaths of stillborn babies. currently inquests are only held for infants who have shown signs of life after being born. under the government's proposal all full—term stillbirths, which happen after 37 weeks, would be looked into, giving bereaved parents some answers as to what happened. any stillbirth is a tragedy and, although we have robust processes in place at the moment to investigate them, we think we can go further and we should go further. the use of coroners to investigate them in an open and transparent way would not help not only help bring closure to families who have suffered this tragedy, but will help us to learn the lessons for the future,

to help further reduce the numbers of stillbirths in our country. four 15—year—old school girls from oxford have started an online petition to make climate change a core part of the national curriculum. the government says the subject is already covered in science and geography. however, the students want schools to be run more sustainably and a greater focus on the impact and solutions of climate change. hundreds of thousands of young people walked out of lessons earlier this month in support of the campaign. prince charles and the duchess of cornwall have met the cuban president and visited a ballet school during the first official royal visit to the caribbean island. the meeting in the presidential palace of the revolution marked the couple's first full day in the capital, havana, during which they unveiled a statue of british playwright shakespeare and visited the dance studio of former royal ballet star carlos acosta. the pentagon has authorised $1 billion to be used for building a wall on the us—mexico border.

excellent i look forward to the photograph. it was a brilliant england performance, but! photograph. it was a brilliant england performance, but i think it is what happened during the game and subsequently afterwards with comments about racism hitting the headlines. it really was a brilliant performance against montenegro but england showed a cretinous, particularly at the end of the game. they got down by one girl early on. —— greet. gareth southgate will be reporting the racist abuse suffered by his players to uefa. it marred an otherwise great night for england — they beat montenegro 5—1 in their euro 2020 qualifier and our correspondent andy swiss was in podgorica. a night which should have been about another emphatic win but which ended

on the very sour rest of notes. as he received a yellow card, danny rose was subject to racist chanting which england say now be investigated. ride malley cupped his ear to the crowd after also hearing abuse. it was shame, really, because it was a massive team performance on a difficult came ground. we knew how difficult it would be. we stuck together at a team and there were some great performances in there today but a couple of idiots — mind my language — but a couple of idiots ruined a great night. earlier england battled back from conceding an early montenegro goal. michael keane led the way before to other goals set them clear. i composed finished but sadly the goals were only part of the story.|j

finished but sadly the goals were only part of the story. i didn't hear during the part of the game but iam hear during the part of the game but i am told there were things during the early part of the game as well. i heard when danny rose was booked and it is unacceptable and we will report it. i think that reporting is in place because so many people in other areas of the ground and herded. i believe the ufo delegate also herded. —— euefa. herded. i believe the ufo delegate also herded. -- euefa. an evening spot by the crowd. the bbc‘s chief football writer phil mcnulty was at the match last night and joins us from montenegro. what were you aware of last night? it was more late in the game that we became very it was more late in the game that we became very aware it was more late in the game that we became very aware of it. the first signal that something had gone on was raheem sterling goal celebration

but what we heard from the press box was the monkey chanting when danny rose was booked. the players were very upset by what they heard. when gareth southgate spoke afterwards he was visibly upset. he was hoping to be discussing about the performance instead he was talking about the racist abuse. he is reporting this to uefa. gareth southgate said sanctions were effectively worthless u nless sanctions were effectively worthless unless they are supported by educational programmes. fines have never been very heavy. if you want to move this on, you have to talk about ground closures and in extreme cases expulsion from qualifying competitions but that is yet to be decided. england devote the state

reported the matter very quickly. decided. england devote the state reported the matter very quicklym there is any positive note on the back of this, it is the response of the england team and their maturity with which raheem sterling spoke about this after the game? absolutely. 0n about this after the game? absolutely. on and off the pitch they were very mature. after what had gone on, raheem sterling spoke ina very had gone on, raheem sterling spoke in a very mature manner. another player had to retrieve a missile and again, for someone so young, he was very mature talking about it. it was significant on and off the pitch but sadly overshadowed by what we heard on the ground. lovely to talk to you. cardiff city are set to claim that the 15—million pound deal to buy emiliano sala from nantes wasn't legally binding. sala and his pilot died when their plane crashed into the english channel two months ago. cardiff are refusing to make interim

payments and they say sala was not registered as a premier league player. the united nations human rights council has described plans to restrict levels of testosterone in female runners as "unnecessary, humiliating and harmful". 0lympic 800—metres champion caster semenya is challenging the iaaf‘s bid to force female athletes with naturally high levels of testosterone to take medication. under the rules, they'd have to change events or even race against men if they refused. the un say the plans "contravene international human rights". the future of formula one will be discussed by the sport's owners and team bosses in london today. liberty media, who own f1, want to make it more competitive by introducing a budget cap and changing rules to make the racing closer and more of a spectacle. the controversial dismissal of england'sjoss buttler has raised questions over whether an indian premier league match was played

in the spirit of the game. (00v) buttler was playing for rajasthan royals buttler was playing for rajasthan royals against kings eleven punjab, and as he just crept out of his crease at the non—striker‘s end, ravi ashwan ran in to bowl, but stopped and whipped off the bails to run him out. it's a legal dismissal, but frowned upon. you can seejos buttler‘s face not happy. you can seejos buttler‘s face not happy- a you can seejos buttler‘s face not happy. a huge amount of negative reaction across social media. in around an hour ago, the controversial mixed martial arts star conor mcgregor announced his retirement from the sport. he posted on social media that he would be joining his former partners already in retirement, "on this venture".

not sure what that venture is. mcgregor is 20 and finishes with a record of 21 wins and 4 defeats. his last contest was in october, after a two—year break. no details yet on what he is going to do. he has a whiskey company but who knows what he will do next. he was hugely successful with a massive fan base as well. the kids love him. a pothole is filled every 17 seconds in england and wales — that's according to a report out today examining the state of our roads. they're a menace for drivers and cyclists alike, but after four years of decline, the number of repairs are on the increase. breakfast‘s john maguire is in bristol for us this morning: good morning, john. good morning,

dan. you are never too far away from a pothole on roads these days, although we are discovering that budgets are on an increase, and the rate at which potholes are being repaired have gone up. last year, for example, 1.8 million potholes we re for example, 1.8 million potholes were repaired across england and wales, according to this report published this morning. that is a 20% increase in the number year—on—year. budgets as well — local authority budgets have gone up by 20%. the government has said it really wa nts by 20%. the government has said it really wants to make sure it is getting ahead with increasing funding. iwill getting ahead with increasing funding. i will just getting ahead with increasing funding. i willjust give you an idea of the work that is going on is the traffic is passed behind us. if we just the traffic is passed behind us. if wejust spin the traffic is passed behind us. if we just spin around and show us, this is an area which has just been patched. if we come into the part of the road where the road is actually closed, this is the work which will ta ke closed, this is the work which will take place. potholes... they have

ruined john maguire ‘s broadcast. that was quite abrupt. ruined john maguire ‘s broadcast. that was quite abruptlj ruined john maguire ‘s broadcast. that was quite abrupt. i think we can go back tojohn. hello? that was quite abrupt. i think we can go back to john. hello? hello, i we back? i'm sorry. i don't know how fari we back? i'm sorry. i don't know how far i got. a double—decker bus went past and took our signal out, so i do apologise for that. i think i showed you a patch before and after, as it were. that is the work which has just been as it were. that is the work which hasjust been done as it were. that is the work which has just been done yesterday. as it were. that is the work which hasjust been done yesterday. oh no! that noise is just too much. hasjust been done yesterday. oh no! that noise isjust too much. has sooner you that noise isjust too much. has sooner you tip the camera down it just gets lost. there must be a fa u lty just gets lost. there must be a faulty connection somewhere. anyway, john will be back later. something everybody feels very strongly, watching. every 17 seconds a pothole is fixed in the uk, that is my

ta keaway is fixed in the uk, that is my takeaway fact. but i think he is going to tell us that is not solving the problem. we all know potholes are an issue, and we will try and bring you potholes live later. and it is chilly out. it certainly is, for some of us temperatures around freezing below, especially parts of southern england and south wales. we are looking at temperatures very close to freezing around bristol, so a touch of frost here and there. today will be cloudier than it was yesterday, but nonetheless there will be some sunny spells. high—pressure is firmly in charge of our weather today and will be for the next few days, so things remaining fairly settled. at times weather fronts across the north—west will produce some rain in the north—west, and at times it will also be windy here. first thing this morning we've got some hazy sunshine. in the south, we've also got some frost, as we go through the morning, the cloud will melt away.

we will have lengthy sunny spells in the cloud will build later and we will have hazy sunshine again. that is for england and wales. the far north of england, northern ireland and scotland, cloudier than yesterday, with rain across the north and temperatures nine to about 14. north and temperatures nine to about 16. similar to what we saw yesterday. as we head into the evening and overnight, once again we will be looking at some holes in the cloud, some rain in the far north, breezy here as well. where we get holes in the cloud we could see patchy mist and fog forming. these are our overnight lows, nine in stornoway, but two as we pushed down towards cardiff. tomorrow morning any patchy mist and fog that has formed overnight will lift quite readily, and we're looking at sunny skies, variable amounts of cloud, and this high pressure is looking for holes in the cloud and showery outbreaks of rain across the north and west. 0ne outbreaks of rain across the north and west. one thing you will notice, apart from my poor voice, is that the wind direction has changed to

more of a south—westerly. the south—westerly is a milder direction for us, so temperatures up a touch on what we are looking at today. we're looking at up to about 15 or possibly 16. wednesday into thursday we still very much have high pressure a cross we still very much have high pressure across our shores, this time it is anchored right across central and southern england. weather fronts trying to into the north, not quite making it on thursday but still producing quite a lot of cloud on thursday is looking like not a bad day. first thing in the morning, some patchy fog around to look out for. that will lift in the morning, the sun will come out, temperatures will respond and you can see 16 to 16 on our charts. we could hit 17 on thursday, but on friday we could hit 17 or 18 and on friday we could hit 17 or 18 and on friday any patchy mist and fog which forms overnight again lifting quite readily. some sunshine around, but this time in the north—west, a weather front makes more progress, bringing rain across the north—west. behind that weather front it is going to turn a bit fresher, as well, as you can see from the nine

in stornoway. ahead of it in the sunshine, 16, 17, possibly even 18. what about the weekend? the weekend will be cooler because the cooler areas following in behind that weather front. but it will be mostly dry. that's nice, thank you very much. steph is with us, talking about the possibility of a no deal brexit and what that might mean for british business. yes, because in the background there has been some trade deals going on. the european union has been making deals with the rest of the world for many years. it has around 110 trade agreements with more than 70 countries. they range from big economies, like japan and south korea, to very small ones such as dominica and the grenadines.

they are free trade agreements, meaning there are no charges for bringing products across a border and no limit on how much trade you can do, making trade between the countries as easy as possible. almost 11% of the uk's total trade comes from the countries that have these eu free trade agreements. we would lose these deals if we leave the eu, so the uk government has been trying to replicate the eu's trade agreements, which is no easy task. what they are bringing together is to very complex economies, you can imagine the complexity of an economy internally, with all the services and goods that are produced. here you are trying to address all aspects of economic activity within those two countries, to create a bridge between them. they are often hugely political issues, which is what takes a long time.

so far, eight deals have been struck. there is a switzerland deal agreed last month, with trade worth around £32 billion. this deal is important for the motor industry. then there are some caribbean deals. trade with those countries is worth around £2.5 billion. for example, last year, all of st lucia's banana exports and two thirds ofjamaican sugarcane exports went to the uk. we also have a deal with chile, with trade of things like fruit, nuts and drink worth £1.8 billion. the government says the deal will help to protect parts of the uk's wine industry. these are important deals. but the challenge will be getting agreements with big countries like the us and japan. i think the uk government has been trying to build—up that capacity but it takes time. you need hundreds of people who have experienced in the specific policy aspects of trade

agreements, and they can be broken down into about 25 different chapters. so for teens like the eu they have had people working on these agreements for decades. it ta kes these agreements for decades. it takes time to replace that kind of expertise. so some important deals under the belt, but plenty of challenges ahead, which could disrupt world trade. interesting to see what is going on. thank you very much. when 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse died following an allergic reaction to a sandwich, it led herfamily to push for a change in legislation, pushing food chains to display allergy warnings. as the government's consultation comes to an end, natasha's best friend bethany, who was with her when she died, believes the time for action is now. ricky boleto went to meet her. me and natasha were very close. i

called her tashy, tashini panini sometimes. we had been to primary school together and secondary school together. we would go shopping on saturdays, we would do everything together. she was full ofjoy, and full of life, and she was just such funny, happy person to be around all the time. natasha died almost three yea rs the time. natasha died almost three years ago. she had an extreme allergic reaction to a bigot she ate. bethany was with her when it happened —— baguette. they were on a plane flying to france. you were with natasha when she passed away. you have got pictures of her all over your bedroom because she was your best friend, wasn't she? i imagine when it happened, being there, it would have been quite traumatic for you. it is really traumatic, i think watching your best friend die in front of you, it isa best friend die in front of you, it is a real shock, and it is not something that you can really

re cover something that you can really recover from properly. but surrounding yourself with photos is helpful, but the real things that can make a difference is making sure that this won't happen again to anyone else. an inquest into the 15—year—old's death found pret‘s labelling was inadequate. there was no mention of sesame on the packet, an ingredient natasha was allergic to. following the inquest, pret announced it would be listing all ingredients in its freshly made food. this week, a government consultation on food labelling laws comes to an end. the focus is on overhauling the labelling of preprepared foods like sandwiches and salads, which are made, packaged and salads, which are made, packaged and then sold in the same stores. and salads, which are made, packaged and then sold in the same storesm was difficult for her. i think sometimes she'd feel like people would always have to try and work around her. bethany wants the food industry to do more than just the bare minimum when catering to people with allergies. it is possible to label what ingredients you're putting into things. you know what's

going into the foods, just put it on a piece of paper. it will save people's lives, and if it will save one life, it's worth it. a really big thank you to bethany for taking part a really big thank you to bethany fortaking part in a really big thank you to bethany for taking part in that, and we will be discussing that later on, some of the proposals to changes to food labelling. let us know about that on social media. still to come on breakfast: we are discussing the impact the menopause has on women at work, and why those who take time off to deal with the symptoms feel uncomfortable discussing it with their manager. we would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. you can email us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk, or share your thoughts with other viewers on our facebook and twitter pages. if you are going through that, how does it affect you at work? let us know. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield.

a man convicted of manslaughter following a boat crash on the thames is due to begin an extradition hearing in georgia today. jack shepherd was sentenced to six years in prison for the manslaughter of charlotte brown, but fled the country before his trial. if he agrees to the extradition, he could be on a plane back to london by the weekend, but if he appeals, there will be further court hearings in georgia. more than 3,000 children across london have been admitted to hospital for drink and drug abuse over the past three years. figures from public health england showed bromley, lewisham and southwark are the worst areas for drugs, and croydon and haringey for alcohol. a special short version of romeo and juliet is being performed at shakespeare's globe as a way to introduce more young people to the theatre. nearly 20,000 free tickets have been handed out to inner london schools. most of the children stand for the 90—minute play, and they can be as vocal as audiences were in the bard's time.

i liked the play, but it was hard to understand what was going on ‘cause of the shakespearean language, and it was also hard because when you're standing up, your leg kind of hurts. the atmosphere — i liked it because everyone was involved. and when tybalt died we all were, like, happy, because we don't really like him. let's take a look at the travel situation now. lots of problems on the tubes, as you can see — minor delays on the bakerloo line. severe delays on the circle and hammersmith and city lines. the 0verground at the moment — no service euston to watford junction and gospel 0ak to barking. there are delays and cancellations for southeastern services, following signalling problems at strood. 0n the roads, there is a lane blocked at brent cross on the a111 roundabout above the north circular because a lorry has overturned.

and in hounslow, hanworth road is closed for gas works. now the weather, with lucy martin. hello there. it's warming up over the next few days, and that comes with a good deal of dry and at times bright weather too. it's a bright start this morning, some hazy sunshine around first thing, though we'll see some cloud bubbling up as we move through the day. so a chilly start this morning, temperatures in the low single figures. it is bright, though, with some hazy sunshine through the late morning, and into the afternoon, we'll tend to see cloud bubbling up. temperatures at a maximum of 1a celsius, with a light north—westerly breeze. as we go through this evening and overnight we will hold onto a fair amount of cloud to start, but i think we'll start to see some clear spells developing. staying dry overnight, and in the clear spells, temperatures falling to an overnight low of around two degrees celsius, holding at more like five celsius in central london, and then further dry weather to come in the next few days. we're going to see the temperatures

creeping up, as well, into the mid to high teens for thursday and friday, before it turns a little bit cooler as we move into the weekend. goodbye. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: mps vote to seize control of the brexit process in a further blow for theresa may. three of her ministers resign tojoin the rebellion. the ayes to the right 329, the noes to the left 302. the prime minister insists she won't be bound by any different plan which could emerge from new votes. making hire car prices clearer. a crackdown on five of the biggest car hire firms means hiring a motor abroad should

be more transparent. there has been a 20% increase in the number of potholes being repaired in england and wales. 1.8 6 million last year but the problem is way away from being fixed. silencing the racists — after scoring in england's 5—1 win over montenegro, raheem sterling responds to abuse from home fans. good morning, after a chilly start in the south, some easy sunshine. further north, more cloud and rain across the north and west. more details in 15 minutes. it's tuesday 26th march. our top story: mps have voted to seize control of the brexit agenda. three government ministers — steve brine, alistair burt and richard harrington — resigned so they could support the cross—party amendment.

there will now be a series of votes on what kind of brexit the commons will support. the government says it sets a dangerous precedent. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley explains. this was supposed to be the week the uk left the eu but instead, what brexit looks like is still up in the air. last night, the government suffered another defeat in parliament. the ayes to the right — 329. the noes to the left — 302. this one allows mps to take some control over what happens next. tomorrow, they'll consider their own brexit ideas. that could include things like a closer trading relationship with europe in a customs union. it could mean replacing our current relationship with a free trade deal, leaving without a deal or another referendum on leaving at all. but it's far from clear whether mps here can agree on anything.

it's possible nothing at all will get a majority and even if it does, the prime minister says she might not implement it. when we've tried this kind of thing in the past, it's produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome at all. commotion. order! there is a further risk when it comes to brexit as the uk is only one half of the equation and the votes could lead to an outcome which is unnegotiable with the eu. labour said the pm had to respect the process. mr speaker, the government must take this process seriously. we do not know what the house will decide on wednesday. this house must also consider whether any deal should be put to the people for a confirmatory vote. there isn't much time if mps are to agree a new plan. eu wants some clarity in a fortnight. the government will still try to win more support for its own deal and maybe bring it back for another vote,

but ministers now fear parliament will try and force something else. nick eardley, bbc news. confused? hopefully our correspondent can help us. what on earth happens now? wishful thinking in confusing times but let's give it a go. before we do, let's take a moment to pause and think about last night, a veteran called that revolution, one called a dangerous, simply said, mps will discuss alternatives to the prime minister isa alternatives to the prime minister is a deal by seizing control. it is likely mps will discuss keeping a

closer relationship with the eu than theresa may's deal envisages, norway, they may discuss canada free trade deals, all options will be discussed but, as i understand it, it is first past the post. they will vote to more than one option to try to see if they reach an agreement. if they do, theresa may may not be binding on her, there are other parliamentary members to require her to follow what the suggestions are but if they do something contrary to the conservative party manifesto it is possible she resigns or calls a general election. in the next few minutes will be speaking to the health secretary. and also to labour's hilary benn, who is chair of the brexit select committee at 08:30. uefa is to launch an investigation after montenegrin fans racially abused england's players during their european championship qualifying match last night.

the manchester city winger, raheem sterling, urged uefa to take "a proper stance" against racism and issue montenegro with a stadium ban. while england manager gareth southgate says he's disgusted. it is unacceptable. i have spoken to our place individually. we have got to support them. we will report it but i think that reporting is already in place because so many people in other areas of the ground have heard it. i believe the uefa delicate herded. so our part will be to make sure that process is followed. sally will have more on this story at 7:30.

social media companies could be required to remove content which promotes misinformation about vaccines, the health secretary matt hancock has told bbc news. nhs leaders are concerned about campaigns against vaccinations including measles, mumps and rubella. the uptake of mmr has been falling in england and last year there were more than 80,000 measles cases in europe, the highest in a decade. social media companies can reprove contact which go against vaccination. coroners in england and wales could be given new powers to investigate the deaths of stillborn babies. currently inquests are only held for infants who have shown signs of life after being born. under the government's proposal all full—term stillbirths, which happen after 37 weeks, would be looked into, giving bereved parents some answers as to what happened. the pentagon has authorised $1 billion to be used for building a wall on the us—mexico border. the funds are the first under the state of emergency declared by president trump to bypass congress. democrats have objected. the money will be used to put up around 50 miles of fencing.

more than 1.8 million potholes were repaired in england and wales last year — that's a rise of more than a fifth, according to a report examining the state of our roads. the annual survey, by the asphalt industry alliance, warned too much is being spent on "patch and mend" work, which does not improve the resilience of road surfaces. the department for transport says councils will receive more than £6.6 billion for road maintenance in the six years to 2021. we will be live and out and about withjohn maguire we will be live and out and about with john maguire on we will be live and out and about withjohn maguire on that story later. prince charles and the duchess of cornwall have met the cuban president and visited a ballet school during the first official royal visit to the caribbean island. the couple have also been touring the capital havana. from there our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more. in the palace of the revolution in havana, a ceremonial welcome. 0n the left, the president who is taking cuba into the post—castro era. president miguel diaz—canel took over last year and last night, he and prince charles

sat down for talks — pleasantries rather than politics — but the very fact that charles is here at all is a clear sign that britain wants to build a relationship with cuba and a visit by the heir to the british throne undoubtedly helps. royal visits aren't so much about detail — that's all up to the politicians. these visits are all about striking the right note and creating the right ambience and here in cuba, that means connecting with some of the things for which cuba is famous. ballet is one thing at which cubans excel. charles and camilla visited a ballet school run by carlos acosta, formerly principal artist at the royal ballet in london. does he, a cuban, think his country is changing? i can see for a long time, this sense of evolving at a cuban pace but we're getting there, we're getting there, there is definitely more openness.

cuba, a country moving with great care to balance old ways with new imperatives and find a new place in the world. nicholas witchell, bbc news, havana. mps aren't the only ones who are frustrated by the brexit deadlock. a new report by the national centre for social research suggests more than 80% of voters think the government has handled the negotiations badly and are fed up with the lack of progress. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to parliament bar in parliament square in nottingham to hear what people there think. take me back tojune 2016. how did you feel? i woke up and i was in tears. i bought an irish passport a year ago. my confidence levels were really good. i was relieved. i thought we'd finally done it — we did it. three years on, we brought

voters to parliament, the nottingham bar, that is, to hear how one thing has finally united them. brexit means brexit, and we are going to make a success of it. it is the now majority belief on both sides that negotiations have been less success, more shambles. i always thought it was going to be difficult, but it's been handled far worse than it could have been. to say there's no sort of unity in parliament is an understatement. it's quite clear that no—one in that room has any idea how to pull this off. i completely agree with them. it's been handled appallingly. you have politicians more interested in keeping their crumbling parties together than actually trying to figure out a decent solution to the brexit negotiations. today, only a tiny minority, amongst them claire, believe things are going well. i am in the 7%, and i think that i'm satisfied because i think they couldn't have done it better. i mean, theresa may... really, they couldn't have done it any better? theresa may was given

the poisoned chalice. if theresa may has done one thing, she's managed to unify the country by being un—unified in parliament. i don't know how to respond to that. we don't approach these negotiations expecting failure, but anticipating success. a withdrawal agreement will ensure a smooth and orderly departure on 29 march next year. it is notjust the view of how negotiations have gone that has changed, but the view of what is ahead. more on both sides now believe the economy will be worse off post—brexit, and that the deal on offer is a bad deal. i knew the economy was going to be bad, but it's far worse. i would say i'm more pessimistic now, yes, because she's spent two years floundering around the eu to produce what is essentially the worst solution, that no—one wants. we can't do this. this is going to damage the country irreparably, and furthermore, this is going to impact generations to come. the referendum left 52% raising

a glass, 48% drowning their sorrows, but pollsters for the national centre for social research say it is remarkable that leave voters today have become as critical as remainers, of both the process and the outcome. we're joined now from westminster by sirjohn curtice from the national centre for social research. it is always good to talk to you because you know about things and, really, what are you most surprised about what you found? really, what are you most surprised about what you found ?|j really, what are you most surprised about what you found? i think the thing that is quite remarkable is the way in which, at the end of the day, levers and remainers are now largely united in with a view of howard the brexit negotiations have been conducted and how good or bad until we have got even though we

started from different places. two yea rs started from different places. two years ago, when this process started it, live voters were more inclined to think the government was handling it well. remainers did not want brexit anyway. leave voters, while relatively optimistic about a deal but the differences have now disappeared. we have now got groups which think the government has handled this badly and about two thirds to think we're going to get a deal. it underlines that insofar as the prime minister has been trying to argue that the reason why mps should vote for her deal is that she is implementing the wishes of the 5296 is implementing the wishes of the 52% who voted to leave, the trouble is many of the 52% think in the end

her deal implement their wishes effectively. secondly, why is it the ha rd effectively. secondly, why is it the hard brexiteers have not been under pressure to falling behind mrs may's deal and one reason is that the public is not saying you should do so. public is not saying you should do so. having failed as it were to get her core constituents, the very voters that she is trying to lead their wishes of, has left it like this. the answer we want to know, what is the way out of this? that is difficult to answer, because one of the things which is very clear from public opinion one of the things which is very clearfrom public opinion is one of the things which is very clear from public opinion is that public opinion is very polarised. although leavers and remainers agree this is a bad deal, they do so for different reasons. leavers believe

it would leave us too close to the european union, remainers believes we would be too far. and the most popular option among those who voted leave is to leave without a deal, but equally, the single most popular option among remain voters is to hold another referendum in the hope and expectation we would change our minds. and the difficulty facing the government in trying to pursue a compromise, and mrs may's deal is a compromise, and mrs may's deal is a compromise, and mrs may's deal is a compromise, and potentially the problem which will face those mps including the labour party who are keen on some idea of norway plus, is that these compromises don't seem to be that popular. at the end of the day we are, as voters, really wanting to hang onto our first preference. we basically want to have everything, and we are not that keen on compromising on brexit,

which is why solving this problem is very difficult for our politicians. it is good to speak to you. as you say, things arejust it is good to speak to you. as you say, things are just not clear. you have at least been clear. thank you very much indeed. and it is a run—up toa very much indeed. and it is a run—up to a general election, as well. it is fascinating to hear from them. to a general election, as well. it is fascinating to hear from themm makes me feel more calm, even though things are very unclear. we do know one thing. it was very chilly this morning. carol has proper details. it certainly was quite chilly, temperatures hovering very close or below freezing. there are pockets of frost around first thing. where we have the clearest guys in the low temperatures, sunny spells. but generally they will be more cloud around and there was yesterday. high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather, not just today pressure is firmly in charge of our weather, notjust today but pressure is firmly in charge of our weather, not just today but as pressure is firmly in charge of our weather, notjust today but as we go through this week, and it is effectively keeping weather fronts at bay, although at times we will see some of them just getting an

across the north—west, introducing some wetter and windier conditions. for most it will remain dry. this morning, after this chilly start, we already have some sunshine around, albeit hazy. but this morning the cloud will melt away. we will have blue skies for a time, then the cloud will bubble up again through the course of the afternoon. that is south wales in southern england. four north england and north wales, into northern ireland and scotland, more cloud here and there. we have sunny spells and waving front across the north of scotland. that essentially means it is doing that. at times you will have rain, at times it will dry up and then the rain will come again. temperatures nine to about 1k in london. as we head onto the evening and overnight, we have our waving front across the north of the country. it will be breezy with variable amounts of cloud. some holes in the cloud, we could see some patchy fog in some parts of the west, and chilly across southern areas. two degrees, for example, in cardiff. any patchy fog that does form will leave and clear

quite quickly tomorrow, and then we are looking at a dry day for most of us. are looking at a dry day for most of us. variable amounts of sunshine once again, and cloud, and we have those pesky showers across the north and the west of scotland. the other thing you will notice tomorrow is temperatures going up just a touch because the wind changes direction from a north—westerly to a south—westerly. that is a milder direction for us, and highs of 15 or possibly 16. as we had from wednesday into thursday, high pressure still very much in charge of our weather. whether fronts pressure still very much in charge of our weather. whetherfronts not too far away, introducing some cloud initially across north—west scotland during the course of thursday. any fog which forms overnight on thursday morning will lift as we go through the morning. for many it will be dry and there will be quite a bit of sunshine around. still a south—westerly breeze, so temperatures still fairly good for this time of year, if you like it a bit warmer. we could hit 16 or

possibly 17, but 16 in cardiff and aberdeen, 13 in belfast. as we move into friday, any patchy mist and fog which forms first thing will burn away early on. some sunshine around, more cloudy in the north because a weather front is starting to make a little bit of progress, bringing wet and windy conditions in across the north—west of scotland. temperatures eight in lerwick, behind this weather front we will start to import some fresher conditions. ahead of it in the sunshine, 16 or 17. locally, somewhere in the south—east we could hit 18. a quick look at the weekend, it will turn that bit cooler, closer to what we have at the moment, and for most it will be dry. the b-word dominates the front pages. brexit dominates the front pages again this morning, after mps voted to take control of business in the house of commons to find a way through the brexit deadlock. the times says theresa may has been humiliated by the tory rebellion, as three ministers defied the whip and resigned in order to vote

for the amendment. the mail warns that the current crisis in parliament could lead to another general election. and the sun says the prime minister has indicated she might resign in return for mps voting through her brexit deal. so what does the health secretary, matt hancock, make of all this? he joins us now from westminster. to deal with those front pages first thing, if we could, mist hancock, it is hard to get clarity on exactly what will happen next —— mr hancock. what seems quite clear is that you are in office but not really empower. in terms of clarity about what happens next, it is now very clear that those people who want to deliver on the referendum, the best option is the prime minister's deal. and i have been saying that on this programme for months. but it is increasingly clear that that is the

case. sorry to interrupt, i really don't understand how you can still say that the prime minister's deal is the way forward. surely this is the death of that deal. no, certainly not. and in fact, it demonstrates that the alternatives to that deal are not as good, and it demonstrates that the house of commons is going to make sure that its voice is heard. for instance, i think it is now very clear that, even for colleagues of mine who want to go down the no deal route, the house of commons is not going to let that happen. and so for those colleagues, the best option available is the prime minister's deal. you know, there house of commons has had indicative votes over the last couple of months, it has had a vote on the customs union which it rejected, it has had a vote ona which it rejected, it has had a vote on a second referendum, which it has rejected, so we have had

individually the sorts of votes that are being proposed tomorrow. and it just brings me back again to the only deal that is also agreed with the eu and ready to go, and doesn't risk a long delay and participating in the european elections in a couple of months' time, which all of the other options at risk. so i think this, in a way, strengthens the case that the only way to deliver on brexit that is ready and can deliver on brexit that is ready and ca n allow deliver on brexit that is ready and can allow us to get on with it is to vote for the prime minister's deal. it will be interesting to see how many of your fellow mps agree with you on that one. you talk about this being the clear way forward. it is a bit embarrassing, isn't it, from a uk perspective to be two days away from the date we were scheduled to leave the eu and tomorrow a range of votes basically with mps saying what are our options? really we have been building up to this for two years, and we are nowhere near a decision. well, i share that frustration, i

know lots of our colleagues are frustrated. colleagues who voted for the deal once or twice already, who wa nt to the deal once or twice already, who want to get on with it and deliver brexit, and get on with all the other things we have been talking about, like making sure people are healthy and vaccinated, which is obviously a massive duty for me as health secretary. i also understand why colleagues who haven't voted for the deal yet are frustrated, because now it is clear that parliament is going to stop no deal, and i think that they should vote for the deal as well. it has been a hugely frustrating process, not least because there is a withdrawal agreement on the table that is a clear way to deliver on the result, and do so in a way that protects the economy, protects people'sjobs, and yet we haven't been able to assemble a majority in parliament for it. so i share that frustration. can i ask you, three resignations yesterday to vote against what theresa may wanted, the direction for the tory

party to go in. you are convinced by the quality of her deal. do you still think she has control of the party? yes, and i think changing the party? yes, and i think changing the party leader doesn't change anything. it doesn't change the arithmetic in parliament. and also it will be a huge distraction when we have a deadline of friday to demonstrate to the eu support for this deal. 0therwise demonstrate to the eu support for this deal. otherwise we end up having to go into this question of whether we run candidates in the european parliament elections, and thatis european parliament elections, and that is then a massive delay to brexit, and not being able to get on with it. we would end up in this debate, seemingly endlessly, whereas we have got the option there in front of us to get on with it, to put brexit in place, and then to get on with all the other things that this country can excel at. forgive

me, but what was the point of the checkers meeting, then? the checkers meeting at the weekend? —— chequers. to bring colleagues together and try and find a way through. i am optimistic that can still happen, but it hasn't happened yet. but i think that one of the things that last night's vote showed is that the commons simply won't allow a no deal brexit. it is not that we are not prepared. in the health department we have been doing huge preparations, and we have done what is necessary, for instance. it is not that, it is that that building there won't allow it. and therefore there won't allow it. and therefore the best deal on the table is the prime minister's. i wanted to ask you before, as promised, about vaccine. —— vaccines. are you confident, we ask this question a lot, because there is a lot of talk

about reining in the power of social media companies. can you actually make a difference on this? yes, and this is exactly the sort of thing that we should be spending our time on and talking about, and if necessary legislating for. yes, of course, as a country we can make decisions over the sorts of things. soi decisions over the sorts of things. so i want to see the social media companies do far, far more to take down this material which is so damaging. vaccines only work if almost everybody takes them. that is the whole point. and they are clearly the right thing to do scientifically. there is clear guidance from the experts, from the doctors, on that. but online there is these pernicious messages being sent to people, whether they search for terms about vaccines or not. sometimes they just for terms about vaccines or not. sometimes theyjust have the right characteristics, maybe they have small children. and we need to make sure that sort of misinformation or disinformation is stopped, because it can be damaging to the public

health. appreciate your time this morning, thank you very much. later in the programme we will speak to labour's hilary benn, who is chair of the brexit select committee. that's at 08:30am. i need to tell you i went to a primary school yesterday to talk about tony, to talk about kilimanjaro, to talk about this programme, and they are all watching bbc breakfast, 600 of them watching bbc breakfast, 600 of them watching bbc breakfast, 600 of them watching bbc breakfast this morning. and thank you to all of those people sending in messages about how menopause is affecting their work, lots of messages from teachers, not just teachers being affected. 0ne message says i just teachers being affected. 0ne message says i am a just teachers being affected. 0ne message says i am a teaching assistant in the primary school, impossible to remember children's names, people giving me a task to do, and if i didn't write it down immediately i had zero chance to remember. i knew! immediately i had zero chance to remember. i knew i was struggling with my memory, and that tears, emotion spilling over and hot flushes coming all the time, on fire from the feet up. my sympathies, and

we will be talking about what can be done at work to help you. we love it when you get in touch with us on any subject. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. a man convicted of manslaughter following a boat crash on the thames is due to begin an extradition hearing in georgia today. jack shepherd was sentenced to six years in prison for the manslaughter of charlotte brown, but fled the country before his trial. if he agrees to the extradition, he could be on a plane back to london by the weekend, but if he appeals, there will be further court hearings in georgia. more than 3,000 children across london have been admitted to hospitalfor drink and drug abuse over the past three years. figures from public health england showed bromley, lewisham and southwark are the worst areas for drugs, and croydon and haringey for alcohol.

a special short version of romeo and juliet is being performed at shakespeare's globe as a way to introduce more young people to the theatre. nearly 20,000 free tickets have been handed out to inner london schools. most of the children stand for the 90—minute play, and they can be as vocal as audiences were in the bard's time. i liked the play, but it was hard to understand what was going on ‘cause of the shakespearean language. and it was also hard ‘cause, when you're standing up, your leg kind of hurts. the atmosphere — i liked it because everyone was involved. and when tybalt died we all were, like, happy, because we didn't really like him. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. quite a few problems on the tubes this morning, as you can see. starting to look a little better than they were half an hour ago, but a signal failure at aldgate means there are still severe delays on the circle, hammersmith and city

and metropolitan lines. elesewhere, there are severe delays on the 0verground watford junction to euston and stratford to camden road. there are delays and cancellations for southeastern services following signalling problems at strood. 0n the roads, there is a lane blocked at brent cross on the a111 roundabout, above the north circular, because a lorry has overturned. and in forest hill, dartmouth road remains closed from the south circular following a stabbing yesterday. now the weather, with lucy martin. hello there. it‘s warming up over the next few days, and that comes with a good deal of dry and at times bright weather too. it‘s a bright start this morning, some hazy sunshine around first thing, though we‘ll see some cloud bubbling up as we move through the day. so a chilly start this morning, temperatures in the low single figures. it is bright, though, with some hazy sunshine. through the late morning, and into the afternoon, we‘ll tend to see cloud bubbling up. temperatures at a maximum of 16 degrees celsius, with a light north—westerly breeze. as we go through this evening and overnight, we‘ll hold onto a fair

amount of cloud to start, but i think we will start to see some clear spells developing. staying dry overnight, and in the clear spells, temperatures falling to an overnight low of around two degrees celsius, holding at more like five celsius in central london, and then further dry weather to come in the next few days. we‘re going to see the temperatures creeping up, as well, into the mid to high teens for thursday and friday, before it turns a little bit cooler as we move into the weekend. bye— bye. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. this hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news: matt hancock still believes the prime minister‘s deal is the best option. last night mps voted to take

control and tomorrow there will be a series of votes on what kind of brexit they will support. matt hancock told us the only way to deliver the brexit people voted for is to accept the deal already negotiated. the house of commons is going to make sure it‘s voice is heard. for instance, it is now very clear that even for colleagues of mine who wanted to go down the no deal read, the house of commons will not let that happen so for those colleagues, the best option available is the prime minister‘s deal. social media companies could be required to remove content which promotes misinformation about vaccines, the health secretary matt hancock has told bbc news. nhs leaders are concerned about campaigns against vaccinations including measles, mumps and rubella. the uptake of mmr has been falling in england and last year there were more than 80,000 measles cases in europe, the highest in a decade. coroners in england and wales could be given new powers

to investigate the deaths of stillborn babies. currently inquests are only held for infants who have shown signs of life after being born. under the government‘s proposal all full—term stillbirths, which happen after 37 weeks, would be looked into, giving bereaved parents some answers as to what happened. nearly 60,000 people have signed a petition started by four teenage girls from oxford to make climate change a core part of the national curriculum. the government says the subject is already covered in science and geography. however, the students want schools to be run more sustainably and a greater focus on the impact and solutions of climate change. hundreds of thousands of young people walked out of lessons earlier this month in support of the campaign. the pentagon has authorised $1 billion to be used for building a wall on the us—mexico border. the funds are the first under the state of emergency declared by president trump to bypass congress. democrats have objected. the money will be used to put up

around 50 miles of fencing. more than 1.8 million potholes were repaired in england and wales last year — that‘s a rise of more than a fifth — according to a report examining the state of our roads. the annual survey, by the asphalt industry alliance, warned too much is being spent on "patch and mend" work, which does not improve the resilience of road surfaces. the department for transport says councils will receive more than £6.6 billion for road maintenance in the six years to 2021. prince charles and the duchess of cornwall have met the cuban president and visited a ballet school during the first official royal visit to the caribbean island. the couple have also been touring the capital havana. they unveiled a statue of shakespeare and visited a ballet

studio. coming up, carole will have all the weather. it felt chilly this morning. i thought we were heading towards spring. it is on its way. we are expecting you to talk about a great result from england but more important things have come out from some of the post match comments. yet again, last night, the whole match was marred by racist chanting. gareth southgate will be reporting the racist abuse suffered by his players to uefa. it marred an otherwise great night for england — they beat montenegro 5—1 in their euro 2020 qualifier and our correspondent andy swiss was in podgorica. a night which should have been all about another emphatic win but which ended on the very sourest of notes. in the closing minutes, as he received a yellow card, danny rose was subject

to racist chanting, which england say now be investigated. which england say must now be investigated. earlier raheem sterling had celebrated england‘s fifth goal by cupping his ear to the crowd, after also hearing abuse. he was keen to make his point. it was shame, really, because it was a massive team performance on a difficult ground, a difficult place to come. we knew how difficult it would be. we knew it would be hard at times. we stuck together as a team and there were some great performances in there today but then, you know, just a couple of idiots — mind my language — but a couple of idiots ruined a great night. earlier england had battled back from conceding a shock early montenegro goal, in impressive style. michael keane had led the way, before two goals from ross barkley helped send them clear. captain harry kane also chipped in with a typically composed finished but sadly the goals were only part of the story. ididn‘t hearduring the early part of the game, but i am told there was things in the early part of the game as well.

but i certainly heard when danny rose was booked and it is unacceptable, we will report it. but i think that reporting is already in place because so many people in other areas of the ground have heard it. i believe the uefa delegate also heard it. for england then an evening of utterly mixed emotions. another impressive win but overshadowed by the behaviour in the stands. andy swiss, bbc news, podgorica. a little earlier, i spoke to phil mcnulty who was at the game last night and he said it is time this kind of behaviour was dealt with properly. sanctions are worthless according to the manager unless they are accompanied by education processes . are accompanied by education

processes. in the past fines have never been heavy so really, if you wa nt to never been heavy so really, if you want to move this on, you‘re talking perhaps about ground closures and in extreme cases expulsion from qualifying competitions but that is yet to be decided but england reported the matter very quickly and they want montenegro to be punished for it. cardiff city are set to claim that the £15 million deal to buy emiliano sala from nantes wasn‘t legally binding. sala and his pilot died when their plane crashed into the english channel two months ago. cardiff are refusing to make interim payments and they say sala was not registered as a premier league player. britain‘s kyle edmund will take on defending champion john isnerfor a place in the quarter—finals of the miami 0pen later. last night, roger federer joined him in round four with a straight—sets victory over filip krajonovic. he‘ll play daniil medvedev next, as he bids for a fourth miami title. and simona halep beat venus williams for the fourth time

in a row to reach the quarter—finals. halep could regain her world number one ranking if she wins the tournament. the united nations human rights council has described plans to restrict levels of testosterone in female runners as "unnecessary, humiliating and harmful". 0lympic 800—metres champion caster semenya is challenging the iaaf‘s bid to force female athletes with naturally high levels of testosterone to take medication. under the rules, they‘d have to change events or even race against men if they refused. the un say the plans "contravene international human rights". the controversial dismissal of england‘sjoss buttler has raised questions over whether an indian premier league match was played in the spirit of the game. buttler was playing for rajasthan royals against kings eleven punjab, and as he just crept out of his crease at the non—striker‘s end, ravi ashwan ran in to bowl, but stopped and whipped off the bails to run him out. it‘s a legal dismissal but frowned upon.

the mixed martial arts star conor mcgregor has announced his retirement from the sport. he posted the news on social media early this morning. the irishman is 30 and he‘d established himself as one of mma‘s leading fighters, although his career has been marred by controversy, with an arrest and an order to have anger management help. a little bit of chat on social media about what he could do after retirement. now here‘s some behaviour on the track that‘s definitely for the naughty corner. this is what not to do during a motorbike race. oh, my goodness! marion calvo and jorge martinez started fightig on the track during costa rica‘s national motorbike championship. what a silly thing. calvo had destabalised martinez and he got stuck on calvo‘s bike. calvo tried to carry on competing, but the race had been stopped. both riders have been banned

from racing for two years. two years. that is a serious business. it is seriously dangerous not just for business. it is seriously dangerous notjust for them. business. it is seriously dangerous not just for them. they were really, really in trouble. thank you very much. almost 60% of women between the ages of 45 and 55 say the menopause has a negative impact on them at work and despite it being a simple fact of life, women who take time off to deal with the symptoms feel uncomfortable discussing it with their manager. the chartered institute of personnel and development has released guidance for employers on how to address the issue. we‘re joined now by rachel suff, from the cipd and also byjuliet saimbi, who started experiencing symptoms several years ago. thank you for all the messages as

well. tell us a little bit about the sentence, when they came on and how difficult it was to cope with? about seven difficult it was to cope with? about seven years ago, | difficult it was to cope with? about seven years ago, i started having symptoms. notjust seven years ago, i started having symptoms. not just the seven years ago, i started having symptoms. notjust the normal hot flushes, it was about anxiety, panic attacks. i am a very confident person. i drive 50 miles to and from work. at one stage i could not get out of the car. i would go to the office dreading anyone talking to me. one in four symptoms are severe. you have gone on to try and make a difference for other women. you have gone on to try and make a difference for other womenlj you have gone on to try and make a difference for other women. i was thinking, if i am feeling this way how many more people also. i looked at the estates and a third of our

population of females, 45 and over and they could be feeling like i was and they could be feeling like i was and not saying anything so i thought we had to absolutely do something. i saw 400 people, men and women within four months and the feedback is unbelievable. hopefully it is the feedback that changes things. but are you calling for? we are calling for employers to take menopause seriously, to create an environment where women can ask for support. you do not leave the symptoms of menopause at home and that is why it is sad that most women do experience negative impact at work. people may not perform at their best but it is a taboo and we want to break that down. a teacher says, it is not just

hot and cold flushes but other symptoms that make you feel ill. i have not been able to inform my work. not being able to talk about it. there is a sense of a taboo. definitely and that is why we produced this guidance because we found very few organisations with support, a policy. people are afraid to talk about it and if the environment is such a cannot go and ask your manager for support, you will not get the help you need and you do feel very isolated. judy says menopause and work do not go together. i felt embarrassed, menopause and work do not go together. ifelt embarrassed, people wondering what was wrong with me. they were making jokes and i felt like screaming. it is so sad. part of my role in educating people is to please not suffer in silence and go and talk to your line managers, your

friends and family, go and see your gps and tell them your symptoms. i chose hrt which was life changing but they may not work with everybody. some people cannot take it. what things — because there are simple things that that can make a difference? we have lots of people with fans on their desk. it sounds simple but it makes a difference. with fans on their desk. it sounds simple but it makes a differencem people want to go out for a break because the hot flushes are not just a little bit warm, you could fade. all of those things and thinking about how to make the day better for people. you want to be the very best every day. are you finding a bit of a barrier talking to employers? yes, andl a barrier talking to employers? yes, and i think there is still a feeling

that it and i think there is still a feeling thatitis and i think there is still a feeling that it is not a workplace issue but it is. we have half the workforce who are women and they will all experience menopause at some stage. you cannot perform at your best if you are experiencing these symptoms. small changes can make a really big difference. think about flexible working. sleep disruption is one of the symptoms. a later start time but the symptoms. a later start time but the main thing is to be able to have conversation with your manager as well. people are able to go and have brea ks people are able to go and have breaks for other reasons, that is quite a simple thing to do. absolutely, treat it as a health condition, because it is a health condition. some symptoms can be severe, and it is fluctuating as well. you need to have an ongoing conversation about what will help. and it is not for ever. i am back to normal! how many years? oh gosh, about eight! i think the average is

about eight! i think the average is about four years, it can go on for a lot longer than that. did you notice louise was fanning herself earlier on. may you have my sympathy. simple change can make a big difference. here is carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. for some of us, you are right, it is a chilly start to the day, temperatures in south wales in southern england falling too close to or below freezing, so a touch of frost. sunny skies, some of it hazy, with some cloud around. in weymouth and dorset, as you can see, in one of our weather watchers pictures. it will be more cloud around than yesterday, especially so across scotla nd yesterday, especially so across scotland and northern ireland. high—pressure is in charge our weather today and high pressure is in charge of our weather for much of

this week. things fairly settled. as at times we will see weather fronts make progress into the north—west, so we make progress into the north—west, so we will see some spots of rain. first thing this morning we have hazy sunshine, with that chilly start the cloud will melt away, there will be blue skies and in the afternoon there will be more cloud developing across southern england, wales and parts of east anglia. move north of that and we‘re looking at more cloud than yesterday. but yes, they will still be some sunny spells, but you can see some rain the north and north—west of scotland. this is what we call the waving front, and it does just as it suggests, it waves backwards and forwards, it will go off and it will come back. temperatures nine in low week two highs of 14 in london. —— lerwick. we have rain across the far north of scotland, some cloud around but there will be holes in the cloud. where we see the holes in the cloud. where we see the holes in the cloud we could see some patchy mist and fog. and another chilly night

especially in parts of the south and west, with temperatures dipping to two or three. sunshine first thing in the morning, patchy mist and fog clearing quite readily and tomorrow we are looking for holes in the cloud for the sunshine. still we will have those showers in the north and west. 0ne difference is the wind direction. a warmer direction from the south—west as opposed to the north—west, which we have at the moment. temperatures as a result, ten to 15, possibly even 16. as we had from wednesday into thursday, we still have this high pressure across us, anchored across central and southern england. you can see some more ahead of weather fronts from the north—west. thursday itself will start off with some patchy mist and fog. that will slowly lift through the morning, and there will be a lot of dry weather around in a fair bit of dry weather around in a fair bit of sunshine as well. i had of that weather front coming of sunshine as well. i had of that weatherfront coming in, more cloud in the north—west —— ahead of that

weather front. 16 or 17 degrees. as weather front. 16 or 17 degrees. as we head on into friday, watch out for patchy mist and fog where we have the clearest guys first thing. a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine around. a south—westerly breeze. this weather front will be producing some rain across the north—west. behind it, we start to see fresher conditions coming our way. ahead of it, in the sunshine, we could easily hit 16 degrees, possibly 17, and locally somewhere in the south—east, even as high as 18. behind that cold front it will turn cooler. the conference thinks south, there is not much more by the time it gets to the south. at this stage it is looking mostly dry. time it gets to the south. at this stage it is looking mostly drym is making me think about holidays, that. what, the sunshine? and also what steph is saying about higher ca rs what steph is saying about higher cars when you go abroad —— hire

ca rs. cars when you go abroad —— hire cars. and the cost of it is something the competition authorities have been looking into. they have been trying to work out whether they are transparent in their costs, and they have been looking at that since 2015. back then they singled out these car hire companies, five of the biggest in europe, and said they needed to be more upfront on their websites with consumers about what the total costs will be. so you don‘t get to the desk and have a load of extras, or get to the end of your online booking and have extra costs. and making it easier for people to complain about any problems they might have. the companies did actually promised to do this, but it has taken a while for them to get to the point where the competition authorities are happy with them. what if you get

there and it is not exactly the car you want? well, there is a lot of issues, one issue is damage complaints, and the really obvious thing to say is just get as much evidence as you can, go out with your phone and take as many photos as you can. a bit boring on your holiday photo album but worth it when you get to the end, and take photos at the end as well, and keep them until you have got to the end of the whole process. because that can bea of the whole process. because that can be a problem. 0ther of the whole process. because that can be a problem. other things as well is look at the excess. when you are booking a car hire deal, don‘t necessarily go with the cheapest, because the excess might be a little high. it might be worth paying a little more and the access is a bit cheaper. don‘t necessarily go with the car hire company‘s own insurance. look at the independent providers as well, because they can be cheaper. i know that one of the things you were saying was you have insurance but then you get there and they try and get you to buy more.

insurance but then you get there and they try and get you to buy morem happens to my mum and dad, as well, mum was in a situation where she called and said do i need this? you don‘t, actually, because you already have insurance. and when it is all listed on the website, it is where you collect it from. 0ften listed on the website, it is where you collect it from. often you can get a cheaper deal by walking ten or 15 minutes, not actually located in the terminal. the other thing is hidden charges, does the tank have to be full when you give the car back? if you don‘t give it back full, they might charge you an inflated price for the fuel they fill it up with, as well. what sort of rights have you got? should you stand your ground ? of rights have you got? should you stand your ground? you should, if you are given the wrong car, if you are told it is damaged and you have evidence to prove it isn‘t. they can‘t break the consumer trades act, they have to give you what you have paid for. if you can prove that you didn‘t cause this damage, you have

every right to put in a formal complaint. watch out for the maximum number of miles, as well, sometimes they will say if you go over this many miles, we will charge you as well. there's a lot to look out for. you could spend all day. just go wild with your phone. there is a lot of talk this week about blue planet live, but what we are doing is better. potholes live, withjohn maguire. what an intro that was. nowhere near as glamorous. here we are in bristol, typical suburban road, i think you would probably say, where they have been repairing and are in a programme of repairing some of the road here. you can see where these patches were covered. quite a fast process , patches were covered. quite a fast process, they are getting through and repairing them in a 24—hour period. 1.8 6 million potholes were

repaired in england and last year. a 20% increase on the previous year, and budgets have gone up by 20%. this is all in a report today issued by the asphalt industry association. it is the problem getting worse, is it getting better? the funding has gone up in the last couple of years, it leads one to assume that perhaps we are starting to catch up. is that the case? indeed, it is great news that we can see the indication on the report that funding has gone up, as you said, second year now. but it is also good to remind people that there is also still a massive shortfall. so local authorities on average are reporting that there is about £4 million every year that they‘ve got this shortfall. the money that we see being injected is great, but it is onlyjust stemming,

really, stabilising the decline of the situation of the roads. it is great that we are here seeing some potholes being fixed, and hopefully later sean will tell you what will happen with this road, but it is stabilising but not improving the situation, and i think that‘s what theissue situation, and i think that‘s what the issue is. we are looking for more improvements. thank you very much, and sean, this is a big issue all the time. you guys are out here every single day. what you are doing here, it looks as if it is just a patch, but is it? on this particular street we are sort of structurally repairing the roads in readiness for a new surface in about six weeks‘ time, where it will seal the road to prevent the potholes from happening. we very much in bristol take a prevention is better than cure approach. we actually try to stop the potholes forming in the first place. so by doing the patching we are doing at present to remove the

structural elements of the failing road, and resurfacing, actually stops potholes from happening. and the funding is helping us. local authorities are trying to use that funding in the best form to get the best value for money we can, if you see what i mean. so yes, it is an ongoing battle. it is something which as you say we are out daily, repairing. we have lots of new technologies which the local authorities are trying to help us identify those things. thank you very much indeed. hopefully you heard all of that above the work, but it is essential work, of course. the government has said new technology is helping enormously, promising £6 billion over the next few years to get ahead of the problem but local authorities tell us problem but local authorities tell us it is a ten year backlog, it will ta ke us it is a ten year backlog, it will take ten years behind, trying to catch up. that is the situation in bristol. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i‘m alice salfield. a man convicted of manslaughter following a boat crash on the thames is due to begin an extradition hearing in georgia today. jack shepherd was sentenced to six years in prison for the manslaughter of charlotte brown, but fled the country before his trial. if he agrees to the extradition, he could be on a plane back to london by the weekend, but if he appeals, there will be further court hearings in georgia. more than 3,000 children across london have been admitted to hospitalfor drink and drug abuse over the past three years. figures from public health england showed bromley, lewisham and southwark are the worst areas for drugs, and croydon and haringey for alcohol. a special short version of romeo and juliet is being performed at shakespeare‘s globe as a way

to introduce more young people to the theatre. nearly 20,000 free tickets have been handed out to inner london schools. most of the children stand for the 90—minute play, and they can be as vocal as audiences were in the bard‘s time. i liked the play, but it was hard to understand what was going on ‘cause of the shakespearean language. and it was also hard ‘cause, when you‘re standing up, your leg kind of hurts. the atmosphere — i liked it because everyone was involved. and when tybalt died we all were, like, happy, because we didn't really like him. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes, things are starting to clear up a bit now after quite a bad start. but we‘ve still got a signal failure at aldgate, which means there are severe delays on the circle, hammersmith and city, and metropolitan lines. there are delays and cancellations for southeastern services following signalling problems at strood. 0n the roads, there is a lane blocked at brent cross on the a41 roundabout, above the north circular, because a lorry has

overturned. and in forest hill, dartmouth road remains closed from the south circular following a stabbing yesterday. now the weather, with lucy martin. hello there. it‘s warming up over the next few days, and that comes with a good deal of dry and at times bright weather too. it‘s a bright start this morning, some hazy sunshine around first thing, though we will see some cloud bubbling up as we move through the day. so a chilly start this morning, temperatures in the low single figures. it is bright, though, with some hazy sunshine. through the late morning, and into the afternoon, we‘ll tend to see cloud bubbling up. temperatures at a maximum of 14 degrees celsius, with a light north—westerly breeze. as we go through this evening and overnight, we‘ll hold onto a fair amount of cloud to start, but i think we will start to see some clear spells developing. staying dry overnight, and in the clear spells, temperatures falling to an overnight low of around two degrees celsius, holding at more like five celsius in central london, and then further dry weather to come over the next few days.

we‘re going to see the temperatures creeping up, as well, into the mid to high teens for thursday and friday, before it turns a little bit cooler as we move into the weekend. bye— bye. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today. mps vote to seize control of the brexit process in a further blow for theresa may — three of her ministers resign tojoin the rebellion the ayes to the right — 329. the noes to the left — 302. the prime minister insists she won‘t be bound by any different plan which could emerge from new votes. with a no deal exit still a possibility,

i‘ve been looking at the trade deals already in place — and what‘s left to do. more potholes are being patched up but there are fears that a quick fix solution is just skimming the surface. and harnessing the force — this star wars superfan shows off his new bionic arm and gets a special message from luke skywalker. silencing the racists. after scoring in england‘s 5—1 win over montenegro, raheem sterling responds to abuse from home fans. good morning. a chilly start particularly in the south of england and south wales with some pockets of frost. many of us seeing some sunshine, a bit more cloud around and rain in the north—west. more details in 15 minutes. good morning. it‘s tuesday 26th march. our top story — mps have voted

to take control of the commons agenda and tomorrow there will now be a series of votes on what kind of brexit parliament will support. the government says it sets a dangerous precedent. in the last half an hour, health secretary matt hancock told us the only way to deliver the brexit people voted for is to accept the deal that‘s already been negotiated. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley explains. this was supposed to be the week the uk left the eu but instead, what brexit looks like is still up in the air. last night, the government suffered another defeat in parliament. the ayes to the right — 329. the noes to the left — 302. this one allows mps to take some control over what happens next. tomorrow, they‘ll consider their own brexit ideas. that could include things like a closer trading relationship with europe in a customs union. it could mean replacing our current relationship with a free trade deal, leaving without a deal or another

referendum on leaving at all. but it‘s far from clear whether mps here can agree on anything. it‘s possible nothing at all will get a majority and even if it does, the prime minister says she might not implement it. when we've tried this kind of thing in the past, it's produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome at all. commotion. order! there is a further risk when it comes to brexit as the uk is only one half of the equation and the votes could lead to an outcome which is unnegotiable with the eu. labour said the pm had to respect the process. mr speaker, the government must take this process seriously. we do not know what the house will decide on wednesday. this house must also consider whether any deal should be put to the people for a confirmatory vote. there isn‘t much time if mps

are to agree a new plan. eu wants some clarity in a fortnight. the government will still try to win more support for its own deal and maybe bring it back for another vote, but ministers now fear parliament will try and force something else. nick eardley, bbc news. we‘re joined now from westminster by our political correspondent iain watson. it's it‘s clear the government is sticking by the planned. it doesn't have much option to be honest. what‘s happened is control has been seized from the government tomorrow so seized from the government tomorrow so mps will discuss alternatives to the plan. amongst the alternatives will be a so—called soft brexit, effectively a closer relationship with the eu than theresa may‘s deal envisages. for example, perhaps forming a customs union with the eu. in adversity, the government sees an opportunity. it‘s saying to

long—standing leave campaigners, there is a danger here that if we go down the road of the kind of brexit that you do not want, either a long delay or something that has to close a relationship with the eu. matt hancock was saying this morning on this programme that his message to his colleagues now was to get behind the prime minister‘s deal. his colleagues now was to get behind the prime minister's deal. the house of commons is going to make sure that it's voices heard. for instance, i think it's now very clear that even for colleagues of mine who want to go down the no deal rate, the house of commons isn't going to let that happen. for those colleagues the best option available is the prime minister's deal. colleagues the best option available is the prime minister's dealm colleagues the best option available is the prime minister's deal. it may not be the case there is another crack at getting that deal passed later this week. if that deal doesn‘t go through and there‘s a lack of support from the

government‘s usual allies, the dup, if it doesn‘t go through the prime minister might say she doesn‘t like the other options. we could see her resignation or a general election. what a thought. thank you. so many things unknown at this stage. we‘ll hearfrom hilary benn, who is chair of the brexit select committee at 08.30. uefa is to launch an investigation after montenegro fans racially abused england‘s players during their european championship qualifying match last night. the manchester city winger, raheem sterling, urged uefa to take "a proper stance" against racism and issue montenegro with a stadium ban. danny rose was also targeted. england manager gareth southgate says he‘s disgusted. it is unacceptable. i have spoken to our players individually. we have got to support them. we will report it but i think that reporting is already in place because so many people in other

areas of the ground have heard it. i believe the uefa delegate also heard it. so our part will be to make sure that process is followed. sally will have more on this story at 8:30. social media companies could be required to remove content which promotes misinformation about vaccines, under future government proposals. nhs leaders are concerned about campaigns against vaccinations including measles, mumps and rubella. the uptake of mmr has been falling in england and last year there were more than 80,000 measles cases in europe, the highest in a decade. coroners in england and wales could be given new powers to investigate the deaths of stillborn babies. currently inquests are only held for infants who have shown signs of life after being born. under the government‘s proposal all full—term stillbirths, which happen after 37 weeks, would be looked into, giving bereaved parents some answers as to what happened.

thousands of people who say they were mis—sold high—risk investments as safe, secure isas have been told they‘ll have to wait at least two years before getting just a fraction, if any, of their money back. london capital and finance collapsed into administration in january after nearly 12,000 people had invested £236 million. the serious fraud office says it has made four arrests as part of its investigation. the pentagon has authorised £1 billion to be used for building a wall on the us—mexico border. the funds are the first under the state of emergency declared by president trump to bypass congress. democrats have objected. the money will be used to put up around 50 miles of fencing. prince charles and the duchess of cornwall have met the cuban president and visited a ballet school during the first official royal visit to the caribbean island. the couple have also been touring the capital havana. from there our royal correspondent

nicholas witchell has more. in the palace of the revolution in havana, a ceremonial welcome. 0n the left, the president who is taking cuba into the post—castro era. president miguel diaz—canel took over last year and last night, he and prince charles sat down for talks — pleasa ntries rather than politics — but the very fact that charles is here at all is a clear sign that britain wants to build a relationship with cuba and a visit by the heir to the british throne undoubtedly helps. royal visits aren‘t so much about detail — that‘s all up to the politicians. these visits are all about striking the right note and creating the right ambience and here in cuba, that means connecting with some of the things for which cuba is famous. ballet is one thing at which cubans excel. charles and camilla visited a ballet school run by carlos acosta,

formerly principal artist at the royal ballet in london. does he, a cuban, think his country is changing? i can see for a long time, this sense of evolving at a cuban pace but we‘re getting there, we‘re getting there, there is definitely more openness. cuba, a country moving with great care to balance old ways with new imperatives and find a new place in the world. nicholas witchell, bbc news, havana. when 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse died following an allergic reaction to a sandwich, it led herfamily to call for a change in legislation, pushing food chains to display allergy warnings. as the government‘s consultation comes to an end, natasha‘s best friend bethany, who was with her when she died, believes the time for action is now. ricky boleto went to meet her.

me and natasha were very close. i called her tashy, tashini panini sometimes. we had been to primary school together and secondary school together. we would go shopping on saturdays, we would do everything together. she was full ofjoy, and full of life, and she was just such a funny, happy person to be around all the time. natasha died almost three years ago. she had an extreme allergic reaction to a baguette she ate. bethany was with her when it happened. they were on a plane flying to france. you were with natasha when she passed away. you have got pictures of her all over your bedroom, because she was your best friend, wasn‘t she? i imagine when it happened, being there, it would have been quite traumatic for you. it is really traumatic, i think, watching your best friend die in front of you.

it‘s a real shock, and it‘s not something that you can really recover from properly. but surrounding yourself with photos is helpful. but the real things that can make a difference is making sure that this won‘t happen again to anyone else. an inquest into the 15—year—old‘s death found pret a manger‘s labelling was inadequate. there was no mention of sesame on the packet, an ingredient natasha was allergic to. following the inquest, pret announced it would be listing all ingredients in its freshly made food. this week, a government consultation on food labelling laws comes to an end. the focus is on overhauling the labelling of preprepared foods like sandwiches and salads, which are made, packaged and then sold in the same stores. it was difficult for her. i think sometimes she‘d feel like people would always have to try and work around her. bethany wants the food industry to do more than just the bare minimum when catering

to people with allergies. it is possible to label what ingredients you‘re putting into things. you know what‘s going into the foods, just put it on a piece of paper. it will save people‘s lives, and if it will save one life, it‘s worth it. we‘re joined now by lynne regent from the charity anaphylaxis campaign. thank you for coming in and thank you to bethany for taking part in that film. tell us a bit about the options available. this consultation offers a brilliant opportunity to change the labelling law and make things safer for allergic individuals. there are four options on the table. the first option is awareness raising campaign to make sure everyone is more aware awareness raising campaign to make sure everyone is more aware of the

difficulty of people with severe food allergies. the second option is to place a sticker on all foods that are prepacked on site and placed for sale, which would ask people to tell the servers about the fact they have allergies and describe those allergies. a sticker would be on all foods. the third option is to list the 14 allergens as laid down in european legislation on the foods that are prepacked in that way. the fourth option is a full ingredients listing as you see on sandwiches and things for example that are sold and made at a distance and sold in supermarkets. which one of those options would be the best answer from your perspective? it would be fantastic if there was full ingredients labelling on all these foods. the reason for that is people

are allergic to more feeds than the 14 allergens as listed under the european legislation. —— more foods. 0ur european legislation. —— more foods. our real concern is that if we have full ingredients labelling, which is very much what everyone would like to see, it‘s applied consistently. because if small businesses and large businesses operate in different ways and the legislation differentiates between them, that makes it very difficult for the allergic consumer because what the allergic consumer because what the allergic consumer because what the allergic consumer needs is consistency. it‘s very difficult for people to differentiate between what isa people to differentiate between what is a small business, what‘s a large business, what‘s a franchise. we would like to see the law applied consistently across all businesses. there are so many consistently across all businesses. there are so many concerns consistently across all businesses. there are so many concerns here, of

course, this could save lives presumably for some people. also, there are also concerns for the people making these things that they get it right because they have a responsibility. yes. enforcement of the law will be vital. we actually have very good food laws at the moment. this is obviously fantastic if it goes further. but application of those laws is extremely important. what about the effect on small businesses having to have this level of detail? is that what they should have to do? ideally that's what we would like to see. if option three was chosen, it would still be important that there was a sticker on the foods so that individuals we re on the foods so that individuals were encouraged to communicate with somebody within the business and say show me a full ingredients list because so many people are allergic to other foods. we also feel it‘s

extremely important that there is somebody on a premises that is selling food in this way understands the needs of the allergic consumer. everyone needs to be trained. but we don‘t expect everyone to be a allergen expert, but to have somebody on the premises who understands allergens at all times the premises is open is vital. thank you. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. for many it‘s a beautiful start the day. this flock of sheep look like they are enjoying a lovely picture from one of our weather watchers. if you are out and about it‘s a chilly start, parts of southern england and south wales hovering around freezing. pockets of frost. for many of us, we are going to see sunny spells. more cloud for some ban yesterday and we also had some rain

across the north and the west. that‘s courtesy of this weather front. through the week, high—pressure remaining firmly in charge. at times it will be windy. we also have a weather frontjust infiltrate the far north—west of the uk, introducing some rain. today, temperatures rising quite quickly, we are looking at a bit of sunshine. the cloud melting away with blue skies and then more cloud bubbling up skies and then more cloud bubbling up through the afternoon turning the sunshine hazy. further north, a bit more cloud around. nonetheless, some sunny spells except across the far north of scotland where we‘ve got a weather front taking its north of scotland where we‘ve got a weatherfront taking its rain north and south as it waives. rain in northern scotland on and off throughout the day. through this evening, we hang onto the weather front in the north. a fair bit of

cloud around but there will be some holes in the cloud allowing the temperature to drop especially in parts of the south and west. feeling chilly with patchy mist and fog forming. any mist and fog that forms overnight will quickly lift tomorrow morning. leaving us tomorrow with a lot of dry weather. there will be sunshine. 0nce lot of dry weather. there will be sunshine. once again some rain across the north and the west, albeit much lighter and more showery than today. the wind direction changes tomorrow from eight north westerly to south—westerly which is a milder direction and you can see that reflected in the temperatures. lately we could see 16 degrees. into thursday, high—pressure setting is still fairly settled. two weather fronts are trying to get in against that high—pressure, not succeeding on thursday other than bringing more cloud in across the north west.

patchy fog first thing on thursday. that will lift through the morning leaving us with a dry day and a sunny day and quite a warm day for the time of year. 0nce sunny day and quite a warm day for the time of year. once again, we could reach 16. on friday we start off with patchy mist and fog with a lot of dry weather. a fair bit of sunshine. a weather front across the north west introducing thick cloud and rain. behind the weatherfront, things turning fresher. ahead of it, we are still in mild air. lately somewhere in the south—east we could hit 18. as the weather front sinks south, behind it we feel the benefit of the cooler conditions. this weekend looking mostly dry. 11—year—old cameron is a star wars superfan, and when he received a new bionic arm designed to look like a bb—8 droid he was over the moon and didn‘t expect it to catch the attention of luke skywalker!

after seeing a video of cameron using his arm for the first time and giving a thumbs up to the camera, actor mark hamill tweeted this special message of support saying he thought it was "really really cool" and that he‘s a "big fan". cameron and his mum mags join us now on the sofa. good morning. can i shake your bionic arm? explain how it works because it‘s working on the processes going on in yourforearm stop yes, there sensors in the arm that are basically making the arm move when i tense my arm. so it responds to muscles moving in your forearm. you had to crowdfund to get

this, didn‘t you? forearm. you had to crowdfund to get this, didn't you? yes, this arm cost £10,000. a local radio station gave cameron a charity platform. this is thanks to the generosity of lots of people. how much difference does it make? it makes quite a difference in the house. i can tie laces, and it gets me out of doing the dishes. because you can‘t get it wet! gets me out of doing the dishes. because you can't get it wet!“ gets me out of doing the dishes. because you can't get it wet! if you pick this up for us, how would you go about that? i would put these three fingers through and... like that. your fingers closed around it and you‘ve got a grip on that. you‘ve had the arm for a year but then the tweet comes through from luke skywalker last week. what was

it like for you to see that being a huge star wars fan?|j it like for you to see that being a huge star wars fan? i was in shock for the first couple of seconds and thenl for the first couple of seconds and then i had to read it over again to make sure it was real. oh, my goodness! that‘s amazing. your friends must be impressed by all of this. yes, when i first got the arm i went into my school with it and into the classroom and everyone was coming around for high fives and handshakes and things like that. what‘s it been like for you? it‘s amazing to see the manoeuvrability and the difference it makes to life at home and life at school. it's great and it's made him much more confident. he has confidence to go out. people used to stare at his arm and he would hide it whereas now

he's got the confidence to go out and people think it's really cool. he's got the confidence to do that now, it's really changed him.|j he's got the confidence to do that now, it's really changed him. i bet lots of people come up to you and say what‘s going on there, can i have a look. lots of people are star wa rs have a look. lots of people are star wars fa ns have a look. lots of people are star wars fans i now you‘ve had confirmation from luke skywalker. he also doesn‘t have a right hand, he gets it chopped off by darth vader. in one of the movies he's in a battle with darth vader and darth vader chops of his arm with the lightsaber. thankfully yours isn't a lightsaber. thankfully yours isn't a lightsaber injury but you do have a fantastic star wars arm. what‘s the best thing about it? probably the way it moves and how it just responds to the muscle movements. its incredible. lovely to meet you.

cani its incredible. lovely to meet you. can i have a high five? works a treat! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. it was a chilly start again. weather fronts skirting across northern parts. you will notice the cold front making
